GRIEVING PARENTS FIND NYC 'FULL OF GOOD PEOPLE'
Editor's note: Here is a message that Ruth and Bob Butler, who operate the Sea Trekin' helmet-dive activity at the Coral World Marine Park, recently e-mailed to friends and family after efforts to find their son in New York failed. Ruth, who wrote the letter, also is Coral World's public relations director. They agreed to allow the Source to publish it.
Dear Friends,
Butler and I have returned to St. Thomas from New York. Someone like me, who lived there my whole life, still finds it a real small town, full of good people willing to help us in this horror movie.
Our sons Jason and Jonathan and Christian's father-in-law Peter and brother-in law Dennis spent days looking for Christian in triage and medical centers. We looked at every "in" we had in New York and were able to find many. Jason and Jon were allowed to look at the living "John Doe's" — alive but unidentifiable.
Christian's father-in-law is a famous architect whom I asked for the reality of the situation. He said I didn't want to know the truth. I'm just an old reporter who looked at the pictures and figured out that our boy was gone quickly in the world's worst immolation. He leaves the most beautiful wife, Jane, and three children: Max, 8, Morgan, 5, and Samuel, 3.
We will be flying back to New York on Monday for a celebration of Christian's life on Tuesday. He was an assistant vice president at Cantor Fitzgerald, which had offices on floors 100-105 at the World Trade Center. But that is not who he was. He was a scholar and an athlete who grew a littler fatter to become a community and philanthropic man.
I have spent a lifetime making money on words. They fail me. They are meaningless. For all of you who are a part of our lives, your words mean everything.
God bless us all.
Butler and Ruth

YVONNE PETERSEN BACK ON THE ART SCENE
Local artist Yvonne Petersen is revitalizing her place as a local artist with a display of her work at Chase Manhattan Bank’s Golden Rock branch on St. Croix.
A native-born Virgin Islander, Petersen’s work covers the spectrum of island scenes from days gone by to display the mixture of local people, including those of the Rastafarian culture.
Petersen’s natural art talent is evident and through grants from the V.I. Council on the Arts, she received professional art instruction from internationally known artist and watercolorist Jo Tarabula. Most of her original work is not for sale.
"Very few of my original works are privately owned, and I really don’t plan to sell those that I do still have," Petersen said.
However, she is currently seeking funding to reproduce her works on canvas in limited editions. The reproductions will come with certificates of authenticity.
"It would be just like having an original," said Petersen.
To contact Petersen, call 778-1269.

SOME SAY PICADILLO IS THE CARIBBEAN'S CHILI
Sept. 23, 2001 – If you're still hankering for chili after this weekend's Chili Cook-Off, then you might want to try what some consider the Caribbean version of this dish — picadillo.
Simply described as beef hash, picadillo is a mixture of ground beef, tomatoes, green pepper, onion and garlic, along with signature flavorings such as pimento-stuffed green olives and raisins. Green beans and/or dried cooked beans such as kidney also may be added. Some recipes call for the fiery punch of added chili peppers; other versions are milder. The ingredients are slowly simmered until they reach a stew-like consistency.
In Puerto Rico, picadillo is used as an ingredient for piñón, a lasagna-like recipe in which the beef mixture is layered between strips of fried ripe plantain. In another variation, Puerto Ricans wrap the meat mixture inside pinwheels of plantain and deep-fry them to make piononos or bundle the meat within a flaky pastry to create empanadas.
In Cuba, picadillo is served topped with a fried egg. In its simplest form, it is enjoyed as an entrée accompanied by plain cooked white rice and a basic side salad. Like Texas-style chili, picadillo enjoys a following of dedicated feasters, no matter how it is prepared and served.
Picadillo
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 large green bell pepper, chopped fine
2 large onions, chopped fine
15-ounce can tomato sauce
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef *
1 teaspoon vinegar
1/2 cup dry red cooking wine **
12 whole green olives with pimento
1/4 cup raisins
Mash the salt, pepper and garlic together in a mortar until well blended. Pour this mixture, along with the oil, green pepper and onion, into a fry pan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until onion becomes translucent. Stir in the tomato sauce and let simmer 1 minute. Add the beef and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, wine or juice, olives and raisins. Continue simmering, stirring occasionally, until liquid is absorbed and mixture is thick. Serves 6.
