This Week’s Feature Story by Claudia Colli

The Premiers Cup Sets Sail KATS (Kids and the Sea) has taught young people to swim, sail, scuba dive and windsurf for nearly 25 years, giving them the skills needed to appreciate their marine environment. This weekend, the group’s biggest fundraiser, the Premier’s Cup, will get underway at Nanny Cay, with young participants ranging from 10 to 18 and hailing from Anguilla, Antigua, Cayman, the USA and the BVI showing off their sailing prowess in this prestigious competition.

A community effort, the regatta is hosted and organized by Kids and the Sea with help from Rotary members who will erect the tent village, man the barbecue and serve meals. The Royal BVI Yacht Club officiates the racing and will provide on the water support.

The fun weekend will kick off on Friday with a sailing practice, and racing aboard IC24s takes place on Saturday and Sunday beginning at 9am. “There will be six to seven teams participating and each team will be comprised of six kids per boat,” explains Brian Dobson, the Director of Sailing for KATS. Two of these teams will be from the BVI, and the US team will be

comprised of young people from Sail Caribbean’s summer sailing camp. A team from St. Croix may also participate.

Following each day of sailing there will be food, DJ music and beach games. “Everything is provided for the participants,” Brian points out. “We pick them up, provide accommodations and meals.”

On Sunday at 2:30pm Premier Orlando Smith will host the awards ceremony. Medals and prizes will be given out to the various winners and the top finisher will have their name engraved on the Premier’s Cup. According to Brian, who has been involved with KATS for 20 years, working with the kids has been a gratifying experience. “The kids on this team are all new to it, are doing well and enjoying it. That’s what makes it worthwhile.”

Everyone is encouraged to come out to Nanny Cay and support these young sailors and a very worthy cause. For more information on the Premier’s Cup or the Kids and the Sea program, call Brian Dobson at 496-8431.

Ask Koren

Your personal E-therapist, is in the house!

Mom is a Hoarder Ask Koren

Dear Koren, My mother is 67 and I think she is turning into a hoarder. She always had a lot of stuff, but now that I am trying to help her to tidy up because she does not need all these things, everything I suggest we throw out, she wants to keep. Do you think this is a mental condition? At her age she does not need all that, but she will not listen. Sometimes I consider throwing things out without her knowledge, is that a bad idea?

–Daughter

alone, perhaps those items would mean even more to her.

Once your mom is mentally stable, the house is not untidy, there is enough space to walk around and function and your mom does not have an obsession with her possessions or keeps acquiring more, then maybe you should not be too concerned. If she starts becoming obsessed with her things and the place becomes unsanitary and she cannot get to certain parts of the house because of the congestion, then she might need help.

Do not throw out her things without permission; you would not want anyone to do that to you. Ask her about her things and create a bonding moment when she tells you how she got them, etc. Try to be understanding and compassionate and ensure that you spend as much time as you can with your mother and if there are siblings encourage them to do the same.

These are precious times and you don’t want to waste them focusing on things that are not as important as building relationships.

Dear Concerned Daughter, Hoarding is a compulsive disorder and the person doing it often needs help to overcome it, but your mom liking a lot of stuff or her reluctance to throw things out, does not necessarily mean that she is a hoarder.

Sometimes people grow up poor and when they start to accumulate things, they place great value on them as they represent a form of affluence or a departure from the days of nothing. In their effort to not go backward, they might think that the more stuff they have, the better off they are.

It could also be that because of her age, maybe she has had a lot of losses, so now she holds onto what she has because it has sentimental value.

Everything reminds her of something and those memories are probably what keep her going. If she lives

TCM Celebrates Another Summer Under the Stars The China Syndrome (Jane Fonda, Friday, Aug. 1): As both a star and producer, Fonda showed how timely a topical drama could be ... especially since the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant accident happened shortly after this film’s release.

The Pink Panther (David Niven, Saturday, Aug, 2): While director Blake Edwards’ comedy is famous for launching Peter Sellers’ Inspector Clouseau portrayal, Niven is typically, ideally suave as the jewel thief who’s dallying with the detective’s wife.

Meet Me in St. Louis (Judy Garland, Monday, Aug. 4): One of Garland’s best musicals includes The Trolley Song and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.

Scarface (Paul Muni, Wednesday, Aug, 6): Al Pacino’s over-the-top version might be the immediate touchstone, but Muni’s 50-years-earlier profile of a ruthless mobster also endures.

The Naked Spur (James Stewart, Thursday, Aug, 7): Always at home in Westerns, Stewart had one of his best with this saga of a bounty hunter pursuing a lawman’s killer.

This time, it starts with Jane Fonda and ends with Alan Ladd.

And among those in-between are Judy Garland, Cary Grant, Marlon Brando, Barbara Stanwyck, James Stewart, Audrey Hepburn, Paul Newman, Faye Dunaway, Charlie Chaplin, Sophia Loren and David Niven.

If August is approaching, it’s time for Turner Classic Movies’ annual Summer Under the Stars festival, showcasing the films of one actor each day.

Channel hosts Robert Osborne and Ben Mankiewicz offer insight into the given performer, with many tidbits about the featured actor or actress as varied as the attractions themselves.

Regular TCM viewers will recognize some of the stars have been showcased before. Still, the channel tries to “mix it up” in saluting notable character actors along with typically top-billed talents; in this round, Edmond O’Brien, Thelma Ritter, Joseph Cotten and Herbert Marshall also get their own days.

Here are some standouts in the early Summer Under the Stars features, noting the highlighted stars.

The objective is to fill the full 9x9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3x3 “sub-grids” that compose the main grid contains all of the digits from 1 to 9 – with no repeats within each row or column within the entire square. A partially completed grid is usually provided, which typically has a unique solution. See next weeks Limin’ Times issue for solution.
