would help if you make an effort to assist here and

there with the housework so she would not need to be

solely responsible and that would also give her more

time to relax. Don’t bother to say anything about her

time to get ready; just appreciate the fact that she did

not just let herself go after marriage like some women

do. Be proud of her when you walk beside her.

What might also help is if you had a dedicated

area in the house as your personal space, that she is

not responsible for tidying; some men call it a man-

cave. This area could be used by you how and when

you wished and no one would need to touch anything

and you can have some personal space every now

and again. It’s a win-win situation and compromise is

the key here to maintaining peace and order in your

home.

Perfectionist Wife

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

Dear Koren,My wife is a perfectionist and I’m fed-up of it.

Shoes have to be put away always, everything mustbe in the right place and she takes an hour to getready because she can’t leave the house looking lessthan perfect. I can’t even drink a glass of wine in theliving room without her putting a tissue under theglass. How do I get her to calm down? It is becomingvery stressful to be at home and I feel like I am beg-ging for space in our house.

–Frustrated

Dear Frustrated,

I have noticed that in most marriages the women

do seem to be the ones more concerned with tidiness

and order, often because they are the one mostly

responsible for how the home is kept, sometimes

with little or no help from the man. Most women feel

it is their duty as a wife to be a good mother and to

maintain a nice-looking, clean home; it is what they

were groomed to do from the time they are girls. So

please understand how important this is to her.

If you are feeling like a stranger in your home, that

is a problem. Let her know that you appreciate her

excellent home-making skills (you gotta throw a com-

pliment in there), but sometimes you want her to just

chill with you and not take everything so seriously. It

Your personal E-therapist, is in the house!Ask Koren

Mango MadnessIt is nearly that time of year when the delicious

mangos are ripe and the boughs of the trees start to

ache under the load of these lovely, aromatic and

healthy fruit. You can eat them on their own, pop

them in salads or put them in power smoothies that

are really popular right now.

The only downside of mangos is, however, that

they can be a little tricky to eat. You certainly don’t

want to be enjoying one wearing your favorite white

dress. The best way to eat them though, without a

doubt, was demonstrated to me many years ago

when we were sailing down island. One day whilst in

St. Vincent we were walking on a beach and spotted a

group of young kids all eating their mangos in the sea,

their faces were covered with the orange pulp, but

when finished – simply a quick dip under the waves

and the sticky mess was gone and they were ready for

the next one!

Speaking of St. Vincent and mangos also reminds

me of the time when I was a charter chef and very

green in the Grenadines. On my first shopping trip to

grab some extra provisions for a charter we were run-

ning, I spotted a man selling mangoes outside the

supermarket and made a mental note to grab some

on the way out. As I came out of the store, he leapt up

and started filling plastic bags with lots of mangos -

more than I would ever need, so I hurriedly asked him

to stop filling. At this point, I had two full bags of man-

gos and as my cab driver appeared to help with the

shopping I asked the vendor the price and was sur-

prised to hear that he was trying to charge me around

$30. At which point my cab driver went into a rage and

engaged the help of a local policeman to help arbi-

trate the situation. Which he did by marching the

mango man down the street in the direction of the

police cells…

That was all fine, but what about the mango salad

that was to have been part of that evening’s feast for

our charter guests? Well, plans had to change, which

is par for the course on charters anyhow and at least

we were able to “dine out” on the story for quite some

time – if not the dish itself!!

By Dean “The Sportsman” Greenaway

Saturday afternoons at the H. Lavity Stoutt

Community College in Paraquita Bay, is taking on a

new meaning. They are literally ‘pulling it back and

letting it fly.’

With more than 60people showing interest,

Archery is the newest sport making headway in the

Territory.

“It has been going good so far. It’s growing slowly

but surely and we are getting more and more num-

bers every Saturday,” noted Patrick Smith from

HLSCC’s technology depart-

ment who teamed up with his

University of the West Indies’

counterpart David Foster late

last year to get a club going.

“We have over 60 on our mail-

ing list so far, so we are looking

good. We meet between

1:00pm and 4:00 p.m. after peo-

ple have completed their morn-

ing chores.”

Smith noted that most of

the equipment used is personal

equipment and Foster ordered a few spears for gener-

al use and he has his own personal bows and more

have been ordered. The styrofoam for holding the tar-

gets have been donated by Tradewinds Shipping.

“The targets are pretty expensive, so we are trying to

get the club together now to get funds, so we can get

better and proper equipment,” Smith said. “We are

working on getting established as a non-profit organ-

ization. But, I’m very much encouraged by what I’m

seeing. People get an e-mail, they tell a friend and

they bring a friend, that’s how it’s spreading so far.”

Mashauna Farrington who has always had an

interest in the sport, said it’s a lot more technical andharder than one thinks. “Sometime you think you justgo up, hold the bow, pull it back, release and you’ll hitsomething, but it’s a lot more technical and involved,”the novice stated. “And you need a lot of armstrength. I thought I would have at least hit an outerring – but I missed the whole thing – it went long,” sheexplained on her first day getting used to the equip-ment. “I’ve always loved the symmetry and themotion. It’s an old sport and I love it.”

Bentley Roach who builtthe target stands, got his threechildren involved. “I askedthem if they were interestedand they said yes, and cameout for the first time today,” hesaid although he had neverengaged in the sport before.

His daughter Vedaliah saidshe learnt about posturing inorder to pull the bow properly.“I also learnt how to use my lefteye because it’s the dominant

one to use to aim,” she stated. “I thought I could havehit the bulls eye, but when I started, I realized it’s notthat easy.”

Foster said Archery has taken off to the pointwhere they have more people than equipment andfund raising is necessary to obtain equipment andnot have sharing. “We have kids from five years oldand as long as you have good enough eyesight andcan pull back the string, they can come and partici-pate,” he said. “We want to get people to the levelwhere they can eventually compete regionally andinternationally.”

Pulling It Back and Letting It Fly


Weekly Suduko

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 con-

tains 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.
