maybe she is not resting properly and should see a

doctor. I have no expertise in sleep issues and dreams

and sleep-talking to know what causes it, so I cannot

offer an effective solution. If she wakes up with no

memory of it and feels quite rested, then she might

not be motivated to get any help. If however, she

wakes up feeling tired and unrested or unsettled,

then it is important that she gets it sorted out as rest

is very important.

In the meanwhile, you both have to work out what

is the best sleeping arrangement for both of you. If

the intervention she seeks does not help, then per-

haps you can stay with her until she falls asleep then

move to another room, or maybe after a while, you

will get used to it. Relationships are about under-

standing and compromise, but sleep is important too.

Talks In Her Sleep

Dear Koren,I recently started spending evenings with my girl-

friend after we have been dating for a while and nowI realize she has a lot of dreams and talks in her sleep.I didn’t say anything because I was listening to hearwhat she would say and whose name she would call.Now I realize I’m not getting any important informa-tion and the noise is stressing me out and affectingmy sleep. Should I tell her about it? What kind of helpdoes she need to deal with that situation? –TK

Dear TK,

You are quite a sly fox, aren’t you? I’m just happy

to see that concern has replaced your curiosity. First of

all, you need to acknowledge your insecurity; I’m not

trying to bash you but what really did you expect to

hear? Relationships are about communication, but

the best kind is where you talk to each other and ask

what you need to know and not try to catch the per-

son off-guard saying something while they are semi-

conscious. It’s quite amusing that you were waiting to

hear a name, but any name called while someone is

dreaming could be a random person from their school

days, someone at work or someone they barely know.

To figure out what kind of help she needs, you will

have to talk to her. Maybe she has something on her

mind and needs to talk to someone to get it out or

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

By Dean “The Sportsman” Greenaway

Will There Even Be A 2015 Softball Season?It’s a common cry around sports. Everyone wants

to play but no one wants to administrate.Even before last season ended and he helped

Power Outage to the title, BVI Softball Associationpresident Neville “Sheep” Smith – who had beenpumping his own money into the sport for its sur-vival – announced that he would not be seeking re-election and also retiring as a player.

Now the territory’s second oldest sport which hashad a league since 1952, finds itself in a crisis. A Dec10 deadline expired with no oneshowing even a cursory interest inany executive position on the asso-ciation for elections that shouldhave been held earlier this month.

“I can safely say myself, as sec-retary, I will not be going for anoth-er term,” Marieta Flax-Headleysaid. “I do believe that there areother members who don’t have thedesire to be there for another term.We have been there for three orfour terms now and I think it’s timefor some new blood.”

Referring to Smith stepping down, Flax-Headleysaid, while he likes the sport, he seems to be frustrat-ed that he’s there and doesn’t seem to be going any-where. She said his thinking is, if someone gets theopportunity, maybe they might be able to take thesport where he and his team couldn’t take it.

“In anything, you have to know when your endhas come and step down,” she stated. “I think he’sdoing the admirable thing by giving someone else thechance to do what he couldn’t do.”

To take the sport further, Flax-Headley said soft-ball needs money.

“Like everything else, you can have all the interestand you can have all the ideas, but unless you havethe funding, you can’t go anywhere,” she pointed out.

“Another key thing for softball right now is that weneed umpires. We need persons who can step up tothe plate. We can have a clinic, but you need personsto bring in to conduct these clinics. There are personswho want to help, but they don’t want to make the

commitment.”The association runs an annual

league, Flax-Headley noted, butthey need to get beyond, that shesaid, adding that they need toorganize tournaments with playersfrom other countries coming. Thattoo takes money to organize, shesaid.

Additionally, the facilities arealso in need of dire repairs not justnow but this has been a problemfor years she said.

“Every year there are promisesand every year there’s just a little quick fix and at theend of it, another year passes,” she explained. “Ithink for softball to go anywhere in the BVI, we needcommitted people from top to bottom – persons whowould like to see the sport develop. I know peoplehave been talking about sports tourism. It’s a goodthing, if we look at that as another avenue we canlook at in building our territory. There’s big bucks insports tourism, but, you have to put in big bucks tomake the big bucks so to speak.”

Making a Mess of ItIt was quite entertaining when we were younger

– watching the visiting sailors making a mess of

things. Especially docking. We would sit at a table at

the Pub, nursing a rum and something and watch

them miss the slot or miss the dock with a line or hit

the dock master in the face with a wet rope. It was

better than television in those days.

I don’t know if it was me getting older or the vis-

itors getting better but gradually the docking got

smoother and the clumsy anchoring was replaced

with easy-to-grab mooring buoys. Sailing seemed to

have gone to another level. But you still had to deal

with the basics.

A couple of weeks ago Betty and I were out sail-

ing with friends in the USVI. International regula-

tions required us to check in with Immigration. We

were in a nice, sheltered harbor some distance from

town, so rather than move the boat, we would take

the dinghy in to shore and a taxi to Cruz Bay.

Some tourists watched us come in on a wave

and beach the dinghy, drag it above high water mark

and secure it to a palm tree. Pretty smooth, though

it might be more difficult going the other way. We

took our paperwork, in its water-resistant briefcase,

to town and cleared in successfully. On the way back

I kept catching glimpses of the surf and hoping the

waves were diminishing.

They were not, but we had a plan. We would wait

for the surfers’ “sets of three,” after which there

would be a calm. We would launch the dinghy as the

third wave receded, crank the engine and impress

the sunbathers on the beach with our seamanship.

It all went wrong when the engine refused to fire

as we went out on the third wave, somehow we got

sideways and the next one hit us broadside. Now we

were completely the wrong way around and a wave

came in the stern and swamped the boat.“Bail,”

shouted the captain, wrestling with the engine. We

bailed furiously and suddenly the engine fired, we

swung around, bobbed over the next wave and were

off. By the time we got back to our boat, the dinghy

was back in order, we were almost dry and our

adventure was on its way to the annals of future

entertainment.

A pair of former Russian spies are forced to makean impossible choice between their family and theircruel KGB overlords in Allegiance, a taut espionagedrama premiering on NBC.

Adapted from a hit Israeli program called TheGordin Cell, the new series stars Hope Davis TheNewsroom and Scott Cohen Necessary Roughness asKatya and Mark O’Connor, who have spent the past25 years or so living quietly in New York and raisingtheir three children after leaving her native Russia.

Of those children, only the eldest, Natalie(Margarita Levieva, Revenge), knows the truth abouther parents: Katya, the daughter of a KGB general,and Mark, a businessman, have done covert work forthe Russian intelligence agency. Natalie, in fact, hasalso done her share of spying, much against her par-ents’ wishes.

The other two O’Connor children — includingmiddle child Alex (newcomer Gavin Stenhouse), whois just starting a career as an analyst for the CIA —have no idea about their parents’ secret past, howev-er. That changes dramatically in the series premiere,as Mark and Katya’s KGB handler, Victor (MorganSpector), unexpectedly resurfaces with a startlingdemand: The KGB wants Alex turned to become anasset for them.

A Family’s Loyalties Are Tested In Espionage Drama Allegiance“Alex is new to the CIA, a ‘baby analyst,’ as Katya

calls him,” Davis explains. “I don’t know whether theKGB was tracking him previously, but I think when heis called in for a special assignment, that is what real-ly puts him on the KGB radar.”

Alex, we quickly learn, falls somewhere on thespectrum for autism, which makes it challenging forhim to perform some mundane tasks yet also enableshim to notice patterns “normal” colleagues don’t see.He also is blessed with eidetic memory, which plays akey role in the first episode.

“Gavin has done a tremendous amount ofresearch on the subject (of autism) and was very dili-gent about sending us all sorts of things long beforewe started shooting,” Davis says. “There is so muchwritten about this in the press now, about childrenwith Asperger’s. But in the years when Alex was achild, that was back before the word ‘spectrum’ (inthis context) was even part of our national language.It was a much trickier thing 25 years ago. Now thereare so many more resources for parents. I think Katyaand Mark were very much in the dark about what wasgoing on with Alex.”

As the story unfolds, it becomes apparent that theshow’s title has multiple levels of meaning.

“For awhile, we had the title ‘Coercion,’ and wewere casting about for a title we felt was more able toconvey some of the complexity of the show,” saysexecutive producer George Nolfi. “The great thingabout Allegiance is that, obviously, it has all of thenational connotations, but there’s also allegiance toyour job and to your family. At its core, this show isabout the dilemma among these people in terms oftheir allegiance to their family versus their country.”

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 partiallycompleted grid is usually provided, which typ-ically has a unique solution. See next weeksLimin’ Times issue for solution.
