Ask Koren
Your personal E-therapist, is in the house!
My Mother Don’t Pratice What She Preach
Send your questions to [email protected] and aresponse will be provided
Dear Koren,I am 17 years old and my mother does not want me
to get a tattoo but she is dating a younger man and gother ears pierced with two more holes and I’m sure she isdoing it to keep him because he is about 28 or some-thing and mommy is 42. If I am the young one, don’t youthink it is unfair that she should be able to do things tolook better and I have to live like the old woman? I knowyou will probably take her side anyway, but I find thatadults don’t like to practice what they preach.–SMH
Dear Daughter,
While you are right that in many cases adults do not
practice what they preach, this situation does not sound
like that. You are 17 years old and still under the care of
your mother. She has a right to prohibit you from doing
things if it is inappropriate or you are not ready for it.
How will a tattoo enhance who you are? What messages
do you send as a school child with a tattoo? Have you
considered the high infection rate from the use of dirty
needles to mark the skin? Bear in mind, that the cost to
remove a tattoo is way more than the cost to put it on as
removal requires laser treatment.
Your mother is an adult and can pierce her ears
because she is responsible for herself. If it makes her
look better, great, but
we can’t assume that
it is to keep a younger
man. Not getting a
tattoo does not mean
that you are living like
an old woman. There
are so many joys of youth – you can dress nicely, wear a
smile, develop a positive attitude, take your education
seriously and make great friendships.
Are you bothered by the age of your mother’s
boyfriend? It sounds like that is a concern for you.
Generally speaking, there is no set pattern for how adults
become attracted to each other but if you feel uncom-
fortable with him or them together, then you can talk to
her; however, you must understand that unless he is in
any way harming you, she does not have any obligation
to end the relationship.
I suggest you maintain a good relationship with
your mom and hang in there. When you hit the age of
adulthood and you are responsible for yourself, you will
find that some of the very same things she disapproved
of are things you don’t want to do anyway.

One of the most tragic hurricanes to ever befall the
British Virgin Islands happened 145 years ago. The year
was 1867. My great-great grandfather, Henry Creque,
was 9 years old. His parents and six siblings were hud-
dled together for safety in a cramped, two-roomed cot-
tage across the street from the Methodist Church in
Anegada’s Settlement. Henry’s father, John Bedford
Creque, or “the old man” as he was locally known, could
tell that the weather was changing and something omi-
nous was brewing but could not foresee the destruction
to come.
Tuesday, October 29, 1867, would prove to be a day
they would never forget. As the wind intensified, a
strong feeling of doom overtook them. Could it be that a
late brewing hurricane had come to visit?
Just 30 miles southwest, the RMS Rhone, a Royal
Mail Steam Packet ship, was refueling at a temporary
coaling station in Great Harbour, Peter Island, while ren-
dezvousing with the RMS Conway. As the barometer
began to drop and the dark clouds quickly blanketed the
sky, Captain Wooley, of the RMS Rhone, secured his ves-
sel in the bay and lay in wait for what he thought was just
a northerly brewing.
After taking a good beating by the surprisingly hur-
ricane strength winds, he decided to make a run for it
during the quiet eye of the storm. After accepting some
of the passengers from the RMS Conway to his “unsink-
able” Rhone, both ships made for the safe harbor of
Road Town. Unfortunately, the swirling hurricane
returned from the opposite direction with double its fury
and intensity. The Rhone was caught. Her heavy, iron
anchor lodged around an unforgiving coral head. The
Captain must have screamed, “Cut her loose!” as today,
the anchor chain can still be found on the harbor floor.
Immediately after bounding free, without her chains,
she made for the open sea to take her chances there.
Unfortunately, as we now know, the shifting winds
pushed her 310-foot metal frame onto Black Rock Point,
just off Salt Island, where her shattered hull rests today.
All passengers, including Captain Wooley, were lost,
save for 23 crewmen. It would be a story my ancestors
spoke of for many generations.
On November 12, 1867, Sir Arthur Rumbold,
Governor-in-Chief, of the island, wrote to His Excellency
in Antigua with the sad details of the loss of life and
property. “Anegada, he said, has escaped with little or
no damage and forms an exception to this tale of woe.”
I sometimes wonder what would have happened had
Anegada been in the eye of the storm? Surely, my great-
great grandfather would not have survived…. nor would
I, or any of his plethora of descendants.

Cummings Ready To Try Her Hand At Talk Show For E!Is Whitney Cummings try-
ing to take over the world?
Just a couple of years
ago, she was a cult stand-
up comic best known in TV
terms for her appearances
on Chelsea Lately and a
series of Comedy Central
Roasts.
Last year, however, the 30-year-old Cummings
started to diversify in a big way, co-creating with
Michael Patrick King (Sex and the City) the hit CBS sit-
com 2 Broke Girls, on which she continues to produce
and write, as well as creating, executive producing and
starring on her own NBC sitcom, Whitney, which recent-
ly started its second season.
On Wednesday, Nov. 28, Cummings takes on a
third project, Love You, Mean It With WhitneyCummings, a weekly half-hour talk show on E!
Entertainment Television, which the channel is pairing
with its hit Joel McHale snarkfest, The Soup.
How in the world is she going to keep all these
balls in the air?
“Here’s the loophole: I haven’t actually done this
yet, so it has actually to be proven that I can do all three
of these shows and survive it,” Cummings says. “We’ll
see, but frankly, I’m not entirely confident that I’ll live
through it. What I am most OCD and detail-oriented
about is in finding the right staff and writers to choose,
and that’s what I am putting a ton of energy into right
now so I know that I have a great team around me.”
It helps, too, that Cummings’ star has risen to the
point that she’s learned to trust her instincts now
instead of second-guessing herself all the time. So
even though Cummings is, in a sense, venturing onto
the same turf as close friend and mentor Chelsea
Handler with this new E! series, the two shows actually
will be quite different, Cummings says.
“I’m going to be doing my show sober, so there’s a
difference — at least for the first couple of months,”
she cracks. “It’s also a little bit different formatwise.
Chelsea has a very signature format. She has three
comics on, and then she has a guest. Because she gets
such big celebrity guests, I think I’m going to try to do
more of a variety show format. It’s a little weirder, to be
honest.
“I’ll have kind of an opening monologue, but
where she will talk about, like, six topics for two min-
utes apiece, I’m going to go more in depth in my topics.
I’m a little more obsessive and annoying in terms of
how I like to pick things apart. Chelsea likes to just
move on, while I like to overthink, so this new format
will reflect that.”
Cummings says she expects to be more deferen-
tial to her guests than Handler often is.
“Chelsea does not suffer fools. I do,” she says,
laughing. “Just hang out with me and my friends some-
times. I not only suffer fools, I love fools. I aspire to
have the indifference that Chelsea has. I’m not quite as
self-assured or as stable emotionally as Chelsea is. I
need people to like and approve of me much more than
she does.”
Joining Cummings as a sidekick on the show is
Julian McCullough, another stand-up comic.

Breezy and off-beat, Safety Not Guaranteed is in the
vein of quirky indie films like Little Miss Sunshine, which
put a dysfunctional family together on a road trip with
unforeseen and wry consequences.
Instead of family members, Safety Not Guaranteedthrows together a disparate group of reporters for a
Seattle lifestyle magazine. Jeff, a 30-something writer,
has spotted an intriguing classified ad: “Wanted:
Someone to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. I
have only done this once before. Must bring your own
weapons. SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED” – and wants to
investigate.
With the help of two misfit magazine interns, Darius
(Aubrey Plaza) and Arnau (Karan Soni), the team piles
into a car and sets off for the small town of Ocean View
Washington, to learn more. Here they discover Kenneth
(Mark Duplass), a grocery store clerk, prone to fits of
paranoia and time travel fantasies, who is tolerated by
his fellow-employees with shoulder shrugging resigna-
tion.
Prompted by the womanizing Jeff, who is more
interested in looking up a former high school flame than
researching the story, Darius volunteers to be Kevin’s fel-
low time traveler.
The shy and self-
deprecating Darius
soon recognizes in
Kenneth, the dorky
guy in high school
who never fully fit
in, a kindred spirit.
In going back in
time, his goal is not
to travel to some exotic era centuries ago, but to return
to 2001 in order to save a girl he had a high school crush
on from a fatal accident.
The movie takes on a number of subplots that keep
the film moving in some unexpected directions. Darius
and Kenneth pull off a heist of high tech equipment from
a classified facility as two government agents lurk in the
background. Jeff, the wisecracking lothario, takes Arnau,
an ultra serious Indian biology student, under his wing,
teaching him how to loosen up and meet girls; in turn,
Jeff’s former girlfriend, who is approaching middle age
and is at first a disappointment, teaches him that rela-
tionships can be more than skin deep.

By Dean “The Sportsman” GreenawayBy Dean “The Sportsman” Greenaway
Across the globe, there are numerous organized
runs and walks for various causes that attract thousands
of participants, who give their support to these events in
many ways.
I was delighted to see that we have finally moved
towards this worldwide trend.
It was just three years ago, that the annual
Highland Spring College Classic Series turned one of its
five races into an annual benefit event and introduced
the “Race for a Cause” concept. The community has
responded positively to this noble endeavor.
Funds raised during that inaugural 2009 benefit
event, went to the Valley Sound Lions Club from the race
held in Virgin Gorda, while the BVI Red Cross activities
and the Rotary Club of Tortola’s International Polio
Eradication Campaign were supported by the Tortola
race.
In 2010, the cause was for Cancer, with the BVI
Cancer Society benefiting.
Last year’s event focused on Diabetes with the BVI
Diabetics Association and the
Virgin Gorda Diabetes Association
being the beneficiaries.
Of all the causes over the last
three years, we all know some
family member, friend, co-worker
or acquaintance, who has been
afflicted by one of these silent
killers. The struggle to find cures
and lend support continues daily.
This weekend will be the
fourth “Race for a Cause” on
Tortola, starting at 7am at HLSCC in Paraquita Bay. It’s
yet another opportunity for the community to support an
important cause.
“I’m inviting everybody to come out and support
the cause,” said Race Director, Stephanie Russ Penn.
“This particular cause sees the beginning of an HLSCC
endowment fund, where the college can aim to grow a
fund that can help us to do developments in the future
and aid students as we continue to educate them in the
Territory.”
While contributing to the cause, persons are also
contributing to bettering their own health by exercising
in the process, a win–win situation. Many people have
turned this road racing series into an opportunity to
expand their fitness regiment alongside 200 other per-
sons, in a fun filled environment. The fact that it offers
varying levels of competition – from trying to better your
own best time to competing with others – just adds to
the appeal of the race and keeps the ritual going.
This weekend will close out the 2012 series on yet
another positive note and one last
chance to catch the crowd and the
spirited camaraderie the event
offers every time. Go and get your
last fix of the season.
Event organizers too, must
be commended for continuing
their endeavors in this regard.
That in itself is a cause worthy of
recognition and celebration. But,
whatever you do, I encourage you
to go out and support the cause.Running for a cause takes center stage
