Ask Koren Your personal E-therapist, is in the house!
It’s my turn with the lady
Ask Koren
I am dating a woman who recently came out of a ten year relationship. My problem is that this woman is still very close to her ex-boyfriend and they speak on the phone daily and still see each other sometimes. She claims there is no intimacy between them, but is it unreasonable for me to expect that they make a clean break? Disgruntled man Dear DM, I understand where you are coming from. He had his turn, in fact he had ten years of turns and if they are over, then they should be over, right? Life is not always as straightforward as that. What will make this situation work is you hearing and seeing that she is committed to you only and her not feeling pressured to give up what might be a good friendship. Your girlfriend should have some boundaries between her and her ex, so that their interaction does not give him the impression that he still has a chance of being with her and so it is clear who she is really with. Also, the fact that she recently came out of the relationship makes me wonder: why are you dating so soon? Do you think she had enough time to get over her ex boyfriend? I suggest you state your concerns and give her some time to remedy the situation. An adult woman should know what would make her partner uncom-

fortable, especially if she were to put herself in your shoes. Talking daily is definitely too much. I don’t think you need to be nagging her about how close she is with someone else; she should know where her obligations lie and act accordingly. What about you? You need to check yourself also. Are you doing your part as a man and trying to meet her expectations? If you lapse in certain areas, then it could be easy for her to substitute someone else to fill the role that you should be playing. You don’t want your woman crying to another man saying, “he does not listen to me”, “he is never home”, or anything of that nature. So state your case, allow her to be mature enough to do what is right and ensure that you are doing your part, so there is no excuse for her to step out on you.

The Perfect Walk
Island jim
“It’s safe, simple” and here’s the part I like best, “it doesn’t require practice.” Practice (or lack of it) is one reason why I never excelled at most sports. Fortunately, I am great at walking. Walking lowers bad cholesterol (LDL) and raises the good one (HDL). It reduces blood pressure and the risk of type 2 diabetes. Walking helps manage weight, improves one’s mood and keeps you strong and fit. Besides walking in town, I also walk along Long Bay Beach at West End. This stretch of white sand bordered by a palm grove on one side and silvery blue sea on the other inspires me with its beauty, especially when I walk in late afternoon as the sun sets. I’m not the only one on Long Bay at this time of day and my pace is often slowed down by chats with acquaintances or the occasional hotel guest. But this also is good since fostering social relationships is beneficial for both mental well-being and good health. When it comes to walking, the Mayo Clinic recommends setting a realistic goal. Although more would be better, 30 minutes, five days a week is acceptable for most people. They suggest making it fun and varying the routine. This is easy to accomplish in the BVI, where almost every walk, whether it’s on Long Bay or Sage Mountain, is a visual feast. And in the week, I’ll continue to walk around Road Town, reaping the benefits while decreasing the stress.
As frustrating as it is to park in Road Town these days, I’ve come up with the ideal solution: park on the outskirts of town and walk. This is my new exercise regimen; it saves gym fees and eliminates the pain of aerobics. It avoids knee injuries incurred when jogging, decreases the stress of returning to my car to find an SUV parked behind it, and the frustration of snaking through Road Town behind an a interminable line of cars – also looking for that perfect space. So, now I just walk. I scout for the parking space as far from my destination as possible, a place so remote that there is no need to block my car. The benefits to walking are endless. Even the Mayo Clinic says so. “It is a gentle, low impact exercise that can ease you into a higher level of fitness and health,” they say.

Out of Africa If you are looking for a good classic romantic drama, then this is a film that rainy, Sunday afternoons are made for. Directed and produced by Sydney Pollack, the film was released in 1985 and won a staggering 28 film awards including seven Academy Awards. The story begins in 1913 in Denmark, when Karen Dinesen (Meryl Streep) asks her friend Baron Bror Blixen (Klaus Maria Brandauer) to enter into a marriage of convenience with her and the two plan to move to Africa and open a dairy farm. Upon her arrival, Karen marries Bror in a brief ceremony, thus becoming Baroness Blixen. She meets and befriends various other colonial residents, and she also meets Denys Finch Hatton (Robert Redford), a local big-game hunter with whom she develops a close friendship. Bror decides to invest in a coffee plantation, instead of the dairy farm that was first intended but he shows little interest, preferring instead to become a game hunter. Karen is distressed when she learns of his extramarital affairs and to make matters worse, she contracts syphilis from her philandering husband and is forced to return to Denmark for a long and difficult period of treatment. After she has recovered and returns to Africa, it becomes clear that her marriage to the womanizing Bror is over and she asks him to move out of their house. Her friendship with Denys develops further and the two eventually become lovers during an unbelievably romantic safari trip. However, despite many unsuccessful attempts to turn their affair into a Limin’ Times Entertainment Guide
Cast & Credits Meryl Streep ------------------------------- Karen Robert Redford----------------------------- Denys Klaus Maria Brandauer----------------------- Bror Michael Kitchen ------------------------- Berkeley Malick Bowens ----------------------------- Farah lasting relationship, she realizes that Denys is as impossible to own or tame as Africa itself. Although he moves into her house, he does not understand her desire to “own� things and refuses to commit to marriage telling her that he will not love her more because of a piece of paper. So Karen throws herself into opening a school for the local children and running the plantation and although it finally yields a good harvest, a devastating fire breaks out and the entire crop is destroyed. Now broke and alone again, Karen prepares to leave Africa to return home to Denmark, however, Denys visits her and the two of them have one last dance. It is clear that the love between them is still strong, but will she be strong enough to survive what lies ahead? 14

Realizing the Olympic Dream ing participants. In pursuing their Olympic dreams, a variety of things can happen, among them injuries or realizing that making the weight in a class would be impossible. But for a country of 30,000 inhabitants to have four athletes with their Olympic dream alive 19 days before the opening ceremony, with performances ranging from thirteen to thirty seven hundreds of a second from qualifying, is remarkable. Along the way, there was the historic element in the balance – that the delegation could be comprised of all women which would have been a first. Regulations however, gives equal opportunities to the sexes to be part of the Olympic Games from any country that has an Olympic Committee. In our case, we had one female qualifier with four other hopefuls. Therefore, one unqualified male was eligible to participate in a running event except the Marathon – but would have to qualify if they were in a field event – Discus, Shot Put or Javelin for example. The same holds true if men were the qualifiers, one unqualified female was eligible to participate. At 2 p.m. on Tuesday in the Olympic Games Village, athletes Tahesia Harrigan-Scott and J’Maal Alexander along with other officials of the BVI delegation, personnel from the BVI London Office, Hertsfordshire County and the City of Aston, were on hand for the team welcoming and flag raising ceremony. On Aug 3 and 4 respectively, Alexander and Harrigan-Scott will compete in the preliminaries of the 100m. Alexander becomes the territory’s 26th athlete – 16th from track and field – to become an Olympian and realize the Olympic dream.

In another eight days, the London 2012 Olympic Games – the quadrennial sporting spectacle – opens with billions globally tuned into the opening ceremonies. Frenchman and modern Olympic Games founder Pierre de Coubertin, said the essence of the Games isn’t about winning medals, but taking part. Except for the inaugural venture in 1984, never over the last 28 years has there been such a level of community consciousness about the Olympic Games. In an era of tougher qualifying standards, with a 2000 track and field athletes quota, you have to earn your spot to be among the world’s best athletes from the 204 nations who can field competitors in the quadrennial event. You’ve dedicated an awful lot of time and energy, made lots of sacrifice, go through physical and emotional training and concentrated effort to get to the Olympic Games. Then you come up short. Ah, the Olympic dream! Two years out, there was the possibility of six BVI athletes in two sports – athletics and sailing the only two ever to field athletes in the Olympic Games – hav17
