hence their reaction.2. Listen. Pay attentionto what your partner issaying and don’t justfocus on getting yourpoint across. Listen totheir reasons why theywant to end or prolongthe discussion.3. Compromise. Meeteach other halfway. Ladies, sometimes give him abreak with forcing for more details and just accept andlet it go; guys, answer as many questions as you canbecause if you don’t, I can guarantee you, it is likely tocome up again. 4. Be understanding. There is a time and place foreverything; therefore choose a time when your part-ner is not tired or frustrated to have the discussion. 5. Do not generalize. All men are not the same andyour partner is not your ex, so broad brushing is notappropriate. Treat your partner like the unique personhe or she is.

There really is no magic formula for communica-tion when there is a disagreement. It takes practiceand patience and two partners who are committed tobeing honest and fair.

Bridging the Communication Gap in Relationships

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

I asked a male friend of mine the other day whatare some things that are common or unique to menthat a woman might not readily understand. One ofhis answers was that men want to settle an issue asquickly as possible and move on. A female answeringa similar question about something unique to womenmentioned that women like to get to the bottom ofthings and they would reject 99% of the story if 1%didn’t make sense. Communication between men andwomen are different in so many ways, but the factthat they both mentioned this same issue says a lot.

It’s common for women to want to talk aboutsomething until they are completely satisfied thatthey understand it from every angle, not leaving anystoned unturned. They have these discussions with aman who will just want to give the basic details andbe done with it, because it has already happened andtelling the whole story with all the details will result inmore where’s, what’s, when’s and the dreaded why’sand who? In his mind she will ask for the truth, butshe can’t handle it; she will want details that are notnecessary and the story is pretty straightforward butshe will always think that there must be more to it.

Here are five ways to bridge the gap in male-female communication in a relationship.1. Know your partner. You need to understand theperson you are with and their background and expe-rience and why they are sensitive to certain issues,

11 Vol. 27, No. 32 • Apr 16-22, 2015

By Dean “The Sportsman” Greenaway

It was a history making basketball weekend. But,

the turnout was scant for the final two games of the

St.Thomas – St.John, Interscholastic Athletic

Association Jr. Boys Varsity Basketball Championship

series between the visiting Charlotte Amalie High

School Chicken Hawks and the Elmore Stoutt High

School Rams.

The Rams who joined the IAA League in

December, were seeking their first Jr. Varsity Boys

title. In St. Thomas on Friday night, they lost to the

Hawks, 37-29. Hosting the Hawks on Saturday at the

Multipurpose Sports Complex for the very first time,

they won 50-27, before falling to the Hawks, 46-39 in

the deciding game on Sunday.

Players on both teams played with passion and

fight. The teams met five times and heading into

Sunday, the series was evened at 2-2.

“It has been an excellent series – not just for

these three games but for the season – where the

series had been tied at 2-2 heading into the deciding

game,” Hawks coach Thomas Brutvan noted. “Every

game has been competitive other than yesterday

when we got blown out. But this team (Rams) are

freakishly athletic, well coached, good system

offense, good system and good defense. We see

everybody they play have front problems with the

pressure and that’s why we figured today we had to

pressure them back to stress them the way they

were stressing us yesterday,” he added, saying that

he enjoys playing games like that where it’s compet-

itive throughout and you have to play your “A” game

to get a win. “We knew coming in, anything short of

our best game today, wasn’t going to be good

enough, after we saw them play the way they did on

their home court.”

After getting whipped 50-27, Brutvan said you

could see the true character through adversity

because his guys got beaten like they haven’t been

beaten all season. “To come back the next day and

beat a team that beat you that bad really showed they

didn’t doubt, they believed in what we were trying to

do and we were able to come in, play our best game

when we needed it,” he said.

Rams Athletics Director Derwin Scatliffe agreed

the series was a great one where coaches made

adjustments and the players try to come out and exe-

cute. “The Hawks coach changed his game plan, after

sitting in a zone the last couple of games – the reason

being to try and rest his players,” Scatliffe noted. “He

realized we made the adjustment, then today he

played man on man from jump street and when he got

a lead, to rest his players, he went back to zone and

you call that coaching.”

The Rams have learnt Scatliffe said, not because

you blow out a team on the day, they come back with

the same players, noting changed all they did was to

change the philosophy. “They saw how important

coaching is and as well as fitness,” he said.

Hawks and Rams’ Best of Three


By Claudia Colli

Netflix’s new 13 part series, Bloodline is a grip-

ping tale of a family in crisis. The Rayburn family

lives in the Florida Keys where they own a gracious

plantation style hotel. Patriarch, Robert (Sam

Shepherd) is admired by the community and

respected by his wife Sally (Sissy Spacek), adult

sons John (Kyle Chandler), Kevin (Norbert Leo Butz)

and daughter Meg (Linda Cardellini), who had

remained in the Keys and are still involved in the

family business.

A third son, Danny (Ben Mendelsohn) has been

away for many years, but returns for a community

celebration of his father’s achievements and Robert

Rayburn is not happy to see him back. It is a family

that claims family is everything, but it soon becomes

evident that they live in a world of hypocrisy and

deception – and are hiding a dark past that revolves

around Danny.

Troubled by alcohol and drug abuse, Danny

claims that he now wants to settle down and help

with the family business. But soon lines are drawn

and it is not long before Danny is pushed away by

first his father and eventually his siblings.

Flashbacks and flash forwards hint at a tantalizing

collection of family secrets that must eventually be

revealed.

When Robert Rayburn is hospitalized with a

stroke, the oldest son John must hold the family

together, but as the county sheriff he is also trying to

get to the bottom of a nasty crime. A teenage girl,

possibly an illegal being smuggled into the country,

is found drowned in the mangroves and shows evi-

dence of burn marks. As John investigates the case

of the young woman, he also comes across evidence

of an incident involving his brother Danny when they

were teenagers – one that had been covered up for

decades.

As the secrets mount up, Danny spins out of con-

trol, hooking up with a former high school friend, a

lowlife named Jamie, who is the local drug dealer

and may be involved with a human smuggling ring.

As with many modern television series

Bloodline unfolds slowly and methodically. Whether

it is John, the cop with a mission; Meg, a prominent

lawyer; or hot-tempered Kevin, each member of this

dysfunctional family has their own story to tell – and

each episode reveals tantalizing details to make

sure you will want to watch the next.

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

contains 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 usual-

ly provided, which typically has a unique solution.
