Take your daughter in hand and teach her somevaluable life lessons; how to be grateful for what shehas and to show appreciation, teach her that theexternal, superficial stuff like how someone fixes theirhair or dress can be improved, but it is more importantto look at someone through the eyes of love. Whileappearances are important to 16 year old girls and shemight have been teasing you as a joke, you still wanther to learn what is really important.

Ensure that she does some volunteer work overthe summer, even if for a week, so she can see life forwhat it really is. You might consider giving her anallowance where she has to make a choice of how tospend it, rather than just purchasing everything shewants. The good thing is that you have picked upthese traits in her and can help her to change hermindset and behavior before it is too late. You are notjust raising a teenager, but teaching a girl how to bea woman.

Daughter Ashamed of Me

Send your questions confidentially [email protected] or via twitter at @korennorton

Dear Koren,I am feeling very hurt right now and that has

prompted me to write you. I used to be the light of mydaughter’s life and now she is 16 years old and shebehaves like she is ashamed of me. Her and my eightyear old son are my reason for working so hard andmaking sacrifices because they father don’t help andwhen he comes around occasionally, they act like heis Santa Claus. I work two jobs to give her nice clothesand do without and she does not want me around herfriends and is always criticizing my hair or clothes ifshe has to be out with me. Young people are ungrate-ful and I am fed-up. –Hurt Mom

Dear Hurt Mom,It sounds as though you are not being treated in a

way that you deserve by your daughter. However, Ialso want you to bear several things in mind; first,your daughter is 16 years old and while she is oldenough to understand that her behavior can be hurt-ful, she is also probably a bit immature and not focus-ing on the right things. Secondly, her attitude is notunique; when kids are young, they adore and look upto their parent but as they get older, their friends andcelebrities are the ones who they seem to admire andfollow most.

If the children don’t see their father often, it isunderstandable that they will react joyfully when hecomes. While it seems like they are taking you forgranted, don’t be jealous by their reaction to his visit

For anything and everything else Kelsey Grammer

does, he always has a soft spot for television comedy.

After his turns in the Starz drama series Boss and

two of this summer’s movie blockbusters — X-Men:Days of Future Past and Transformers: Age ofExtinction — the former Frasier returns to weekly TV

work by teaming with fellow sitcom veteran Martin

Lawrence in the FX sitcom

Partners, debuting Monday, Aug.

4. They play very dissimilar

Chicago lawyers who forge a pro-

fessional bond when Allen

(Grammer), booted out of his

father’s firm, offers to handle

Marcus’ (Lawrence) divorce settle-

ment.

“My dream, when I was a kid,

was to do just everything,”

Grammer says, “drama, comedy,

film, theater ... to be able to have a

career where you could navigate

through all of it. That’s hard in

America, because that’s not really the way we think

about our actors. Where they have the most success

is where we like to keep them.”

Meeting with Lawrence convinced Grammer that

series comedy was his destiny again. “We’re not rein-

By Jay Bobbin

Kelsey Grammer Partners with Martin Lawrence on FXventing the wheel here,” the five-time Emmy winner

allows. “The real trick is putting Martin and myself in

a room together, and there are some real nice people

around us. This is ‘The Odd Couple’ reinvented, basi-

cally, maybe updated a little bit.”

Grammer also directed the Partners premiere. “I

like that challenge,” he notes. “We actually front-

loaded two episodes I direct-

ed, because I wanted to get

Martin’s trust a little more.”

Partners follows the “10-

90” model FX exercised on

Anger Management, meaning

the network can pick up 90

more episodes at once, based

on how the initial 10 fare.

“By definition, the process

has to be short, and the cre-

ative input is our responsibili-

ty,” Grammer reasons. “In nor-

mal network programming

these days, everybody’s got a

say-so, and the process can be lengthy and some-

times kind of brutal. We don’t have to deal with that,

and I’m actually very happy to be making snap deci-

sions and doing a show we like. And let the chips fall

where they may.”

Bahama Mama

On a recent trip to the Bahamas, I found myself

subconsciously making mental comparisons. How

close was the Bahamian culture to the BVI?

Did they have the same local foods, customs and

cultural activities? Is there topography and climate

similar?

My last trip to the Bahamas was as a 10-year old

on a cruise from Florida with my uncle’s family. My

three main memories were of the young divers, who

for a small fee dove from the top of the ship into the

harbor waters (very exciting), historic Fort Charlotte

with its dungeon and stretch rack to torture prisoners

and the colorful outdoor market. All things an

impressionable young girl would not forget!

After a rather bumpy landing – due to a tropical

storm that had our pilot go back out to sea for a wide

arc to avoid the thunder and lightening, I was glad to

land safely at the Nassau Airport. I had a wonderful

conversation with my seat mate on the plane, a

Bahamian woman whose family line went back many

generations in the Bahamas and was responsive to

all the questions this journalist with an ever inquisi-

tive mind, peppered her with. I can recall the amaze-

ment people would utter after hearing the BVI had

over 60 islands and cays. You can imagine my reac-

tion, when I was informed the Bahamas chain

encompasses over 700 islands and cays. They have

to be counting rocks that poke above the ocean sur-

face, I surmised.

Upon arrival I found everyone in the airport very

friendly and several of the staff helped with direc-

tions to my waiting hotel transfer bus. I looked out

the windows eager to see the palms and aqua blue

waters, but what surprised me was that it was so flat.

I asked the driver where the mountains were, as my

new Bahamian friend had informed me, she lived out

of town in the country “over the hill.” The driver

laughed and said that was an expression they used

for that area – there really was no major hill one went

over.

I was delighted that the conference I was attend-

ing was booked for the British Colonial Hilton, where

most of the participants were staying. Not only is this

stately hotel worth it’s 5-star rating, but it is the old-

est and most historic hotel in the island, dating back

to the 1800’s and is located in the heart of the charm-

ing downtown area with a wonderful beach front and

white curtain draped cabanas…aaahh.

I found the food similar with some variations, the

Bahamian independence celebrations were under-

way and their “Junkanoo” parade with colorful out-

fits, dancers and music was akin to the BVI Festival

celebrations. Most of all, everywhere I went, I

received a warm greeting and smile from the local

residents. I felt right at home and hoped first-time

travelers to the BVI also get an opportunity to experi-

ence this same heart-felt welcome.

A Tremendous HonorVirgin Gorda’s Norville Young – the Territory’s only

FIBA certified referee, earlier this year became a FIFAcertified referee as well – worked both the 2014 CBCMen’s and Women’s tournament finals on his homecourt and in a few days, heads to Curacao to referee ina FIFA U20 tournament.

“It was a tremendous honor to be able to refereegames at home, in front your home crowd in a tourna-ment as great as this one was,” Young said. “But, tobe able to be part of the women’s tournament, with-out having a female team partici-pating was good.”

Young’s first CBC stint was in2007 in Puerto Rico and in 2009when the tournament was held inthe BVI. He also refereed in theBahamas and a Centrobaskettournament in the DominicanRepublic.

“I was quite surprised that Igot the championship game forboth the men’s championship and the women’s cham-pionship,” Young reflected. “I never really expected itfor both tournaments. But, I would say, that based onthe work I did throughout the days of both tourna-ments, that the head of the refereeing departmenthad the confidence in me to put me in that position toofficiate in both the men’s and women’s champi-onships final. This is my fifth FIBA tournament as BVIcertified referee.”

Soon he departs for a Caribbean Football UnionMen’s U20 Group Stage FIFA match in Curacao, July28-Aug 4.

Refereeing in both sports he said helps to main-tain his fitness level – something he cannot afford to

drop. “Anytime your fitness level drops then you knowyou won’t be called for the next tournament,” he stat-ed. “Fitness is the key. They have always said, ‘don’tlet fitness be a wall in getting to that next level’ andyou definitely have to be fit enough to do the basket-ball tournament as well as football and as you cansee, they are very close. So, there’s no time to lapse inbetween, therefore, I have to continue my fitnesspreparation.

A major concern to him and his regionalCaribbean colleagues, Young saidis getting more young people inbecoming involved in an officiat-ing capacity. Throughout theregion he said they are findingeveryone wants to play butnobody want to officiate. Duringgames however, everybody feelsthat they can officiate and say ref-erees are making this or that call.

“No matter what, if you areinterested, come out, whether you are a player, formerplayer, come and let us see exactly what you are inter-ested in and we all can learn together,” he explained.“I’m always available to go through the laws of thegame, mechanics, tactics, the psychological aspectsof the game and fitness. We need younger refereesinvolved.”

Young said once one is capable, they are strongmentally and physically, one will get the opportunity.He noted that as a player, one might not get an oppor-tunity to travel with a team. “But as a referee you cango anywhere even if your country doesn’t have ateam,” he noted. “That’s one of the benefits I’m enjoy-ing right now.”

Norville Young

The objective is to fill the full 9x9 grid withdigits so that each column, each row, andeach of the nine 3x3 “sub-grids” that com-pose the main grid contains all of the digitsfrom 1 to 9 – with no repeats within each rowor column within the entire square. A partial-ly completed grid is usually provided, whichtypically has a unique solution. See nextweeks Limin’ Times issue for solution.
