tomed to them or because you do not think you
deserve better is also a terrible idea.
Even if he has changed, you can forgive him and
move on. Maybe you are afraid that no one else will
have you or maybe he has brainwashed you into
thinking that he has loved you for a long time but
abuse is not love. Molestation is not love. He took
advantage of you then and maybe he is taking advan-
tage of you now.
Your mother and aunt probably understand what
happened to you as a child and they know that you
deserve a fresh relationship that is not messy. If I were
them, I would not want him at my house either.
He committed a crime, damaged your self-esteem
and stole your innocence. While it may seem comfort-
able now, later on you will look back and wish some-
one had told you that you are way too special to be
with someone who has hurt you in such a bad way.

Dear Koren,I am 19 years old and my mother and aunt do not
want me to date my boyfriend because he got introuble for being with me when I was 13. If I am anadult now, is it not better if I go with somebody Ialready know, than to be sleeping around? He is 29now and I am tired of those guys my age that justwant to use me and they don’t even try to help me. Ijust want to be happy but I am fed up of how they arebehaving and they don’t let him come to the house.What do I do? –JT
Dear JT,
You are an adult and have the right to date anyone
you want, but be aware that there are consequences
for everything you do. When you sit and think that this
is the person who cared so little about you to take
your innocence at the tender age of 13, is that some-
one that you can trust? You deserve to be in a good,
loving relationship with someone who loves you and
respects you. Helping you is nice, but that is not all
you need.
What happens if when you are too mature for him
and he decides that he needs to find someone else
who is younger? How will you deal with that? Yes, you
are correct, sleeping around is not a good idea but
being with someone just because you are accus-
Your personal E-therapist, is in the house!Ask Koren

By Dean “The Sportsman” Greenaway
“The Sportsman” Turns 20It was the meeting that changed my life and
launched a new career 11 days before I’d know I wouldengage in it.
I’d been covering sports in the Territory for the BVIBeacon, after Karl Dawson (now president of HLSCC)went to further his education at the University of theWest Indies in 1986.
Over those first eight years and a bit bored withmy primary job at the time, Inoticed that local sports wasbeing thoroughly neglected. Iknew everything that happenedwithin West Indies Cricket and inthe NBA, NFL and Major LeagueBaseball as many things on thelocal scene went underground.
After some thought, I put aproposal together to present toZBVI 780 AM and ZROD 103.7 FMand wrote both a letter. RodneyHerbert said he was interestedand set up a meeting following an industry meetingabroad.
During our meeting, I launched my proposal tohave sports e-mailed so that his on air personnelcould use it.
“Why don’t’ you come in and do it,” he asked,catching me off guard. The room seem to go dark andI started to sweat for what seemed like five minutesbefore I recovered and stammered...
“Who me, me? You mean me doing radio sports?I don’t know anything about radio,” I protested.
“We’ll work with you,” he assured. “How aboutstarting on Monday?”
“Monday? You mean this coming Monday? I can’tdo that,” I retorted during our Thursday October 20,1994 meeting. “How about November 1?” I offered.
“Good. We’ve got a deal. You’ll be doing ZRODSports from November 1,” he said.
I tried to get my head wrapped around it and hadjust 11 days. I called my brother who was in radio onZBVI in 70s and 80s as the Black Machine to share thenews.
What have I really gotten myself into I thoughtafter I left the meeting. Everyone in radio had a name
and here I was about to enterunfamiliar territory and had noidentity.
For the next several days, Iwent through name after namebut nothing clicked.
Four days after our Thursdaymeeting, that Tuesday night whenI walked into the BVI Beaconoffice to drop off my weeklysports column, one of the guyssaid as he usually did “herecomes the sportsman.”
“Ah,” I thought out loud. “That’s it. I’ve got myradio name. I’ll be Dean “The Sportsman” Greenaway.
Over the next few days I bounced it off a few trust-ed people who liked it.
On November 1, 1994, I nervously made my livedebut.
“Good afternoon everyone, I’m Dean “TheSportsman” Greenaway and from now on, I’ll be bring-ing you ZROD Sports….”
I can’t believe it’s 20 years already since “TheSportsman” was born, and I entered an area of jour-nalism – radio that just 11 days before I had no idea I’dbe getting into.
It surely has been a great diverse experience cov-ering sports and connecting with fans over the last 20years.
Dean "The Sportsman" Greenawaymarks 20 years as a Sportscaster

I Do…I love weddings, so when one of my best friends
decided to tie the knot recently, my flight was
booked and before I knew it I was winging my way to
the UK to join in the celebrations.
The wedding was in Morecambe, an old-fash-
ioned northern seaside town in Lancashire in the
UK, which handily for me, is not far at all from my
family. However, having just arrived at Gatwick, the
journey started with a train ride from London to
Lancaster with three friends and before long we
were getting really excited at the prospect of the
wedding and the fun that was going to be had.
And we were not disappointed. When we arrived
at the hotel, the bride and groom to be were already
there together with a sprinkling of their friends and
family. I have known the bride most of my life and we
know lots of the same people – so it was wonderful
to be able to share their special day and see lots of
friends too. The hotel was spectacular, situated right
there on the beachfront combining architecturally
the old with the new. The weather was also perfect
which is saying something for the north of England
in the middle of summer.
So after checking in and checking out our rooms,
we started to celebrate the nuptials with the other
wedding guests. The couple has a four-year-old
daughter, Molly and a few other children were also
invited and catered for well with tailor made goody
bags, an old fashioned ice cream cart and, playing
on a continuous loop in an adjacent room – that
must see film Sparkle.The adults had a fine time too. The ceremony was
lovely and there was not a dry eye in the house when
we watched the bride, Elisabeth walking down the
aisle to stand next to her husband to be, Jeremy to
exchange their vows. In true wedding fashion, we all
sat down to a late lunch, and speeches while the DJ
set up the evenings entertainment, made even more
fun with a “photo booth” which provided endless
entertainment and also a brilliant keepsake for the
guests and the happy couple.
The next day we said goodbye to friends old and
new and before long it was time to wave off the happy
couple as they drove away for their honeymoon, a lit-
tle exhausted maybe, but excited about the prospect
of spending the rest of their lives together.

How much difference does a decade make for a
familiar actor?
David Hyde Pierce is about to supply an answer.
A four-time Emmy winner as Niles on Frasier, the tel-evision and stage star starts his first continuing
series job since as he joins CBS’ The Good WifeSunday, Nov. 2. He’ll recur as media personality
Frank Prady, who decides he can have more impact
by entering Chicago politics ... attracting the atten-
tion of Alicia and Eli (Julianna Margulies and Alan
Cumming).
Also preparing for his Broadway directing debut
with next spring’s musical It Shoulda Been You, TonyAward recipient Pierce confirms a big reason for his
Good Wife involvement is that “it shoots in NewYork, and that is very appealing. I remember when
we were doing Frasier, the casting director and theproducers had a big attraction to bringing in New
York theater actors.
“It was always about what they brought to play-
ing the scenes more than just name recognition, and
that’s what I’m loving about this show,” adds Pierce.
“The core actors are all so fine, many of them — like
Alan, Julianna, Christine Baranski and Chris Noth —
with solid grounding in the theater. Maybe I’m prej-
udiced, but I think that says something about why
they’re so good. And at the simplest level, these
The Going Is ‘Good’ for David Hyde Pierce In His TV Return
people are my friends, so it’s a group I wanted to
hang out with.”
Discovering his Good Wife character as he filmsis “a lot of fun,” Pierce claims. “It forces you to let go
and just trust the writing, trust your fellow actors and
trust your instincts. It’s a kind of television that’s new
for me, and I’m really enjoying it.”
Though his Niles portrayal remains on view in
Frasier repeats, Pierce feels enough time has passedfor him to build a new home-screen image.
“I’ve been away from acting the character for so
long, maybe the mannerisms and voice patterns
have faded away. Also, it’s 10 years since we finished
the show, but it’s been 20 years or more since we
started it ... so I’m significantly older than in those
reruns people keep seeing. That’s a little depressing,
but it helps.”
David Hyde Pierce begins a recurring role on TheGood Wife Sunday on CBS.

Welcome to ShondalandThursday nights have been dubbed TGIT (Thank
God It’s Thursday) a different mantra from the usual
TGIF. Why? You ask. Well, because there is a new TV
queen who has taken television drama by storm and
her name is Shonda Rhimes. The driving creative
force behind one of the most successful television
medical dramas since ER, you may have heard of it
– Grey’s Anatomy. Well the screenwriting queen is
also behind Scandal, which everyone thinking they
are “GLADIATORS in a suit” and the newest show
How To Get Away with Murder is now steaming up
and has television fans obsessed over Thursday
nights. Of course, writing comes easy for the lifelong
storyteller, who was tape-recording stories for her
parents to transcribe before she even learned to
spell, yet entering into the world of show business
proved a formidable task for the artist who wasn't
used to the idea of dealing with network executives.
Shonda debuted Grey’s Anatomy in March 2005,
and it is now in its 11th season. The series follows
the lives of the medical interns and residents at Grey
Sloan Memorial Hospital as they try to balance their
personal lives with the demands of their medical
training. After the wild success of the show the tal-
ented Rhimes penned the spin off Private Practice
another medical based drama, which also had a
stellar run. Shonda then came back with Scandal
starring Kerry Washington or as we all know her
Olivia Pope. The show takes place in Washington,
DC where Miss Pope who was once the White House
Communications Director leaves to start her own
Crisis Management Firm, Olivia Pope & Associates.
But no matter how hard she tries, she can’t leave
parts of her past behind. Her torrid love affair with
Fitz, the President of the United States is only the tip
of the scandalous iceberg. With both shows doing
well dominating the TV ratings on Thursday nights,
this fall Shonda proved that her imagination has lim-
ited boundaries when she debuted How To Get
Away with Murder starring Viola Davis, has already
been getting a lot of buzz. Viola Davis is a law profes-
sor at a prestigious university in Philadelphia who
with her students becomes entwined in a murder
plot that will change the course of their lives forever.
Never before has a screenwriter been this infa-
mous, with Thursday night comprising entirely of
shows from her Shondaland Production banner.
With the way she had managed to keep our atten-
tion with each new adventure – I think it’s safe to say
she owns Thursday night.
