Getting touches won’t be an issue this fall as Bonnafon transitions to full- time duty in the backfield. Seeing an obvious need last spring when injuries thinned the Cardinals’ backfield corps, the Louisville native took some snaps in a scrimmage and dis- covered his best skill might be carrying the ball. Petrino agreed and has placed him atop the depth chart, looking forward to utilizing Bonnafon more at a position that seems to suit him well. “He played wide receiver most of his life growing up, so that was an easy thing for him to transition to playing another position,” Petrino said of Bon- nafon on media day. “But he looks a lot more natural running the ball. He’s seeing it, he’s making the cuts. I’m anxious to see how he does.” Despite his current status as the featured back, the 6-foot-3, 212-pound Bonnafon is being pressed by fellow seniors Jeremy Smith and Malik Wil- liams. They also face a big task of replacing the durable Brandon Radcliff in an offense that averaged nearly 533 yards per game in 2016 behind Jack- son’s arm and feet. With opponents keying on Jackson again this season, the Cardinals need someone to take some of the load off him and create balance. Already consid- ered one of Louisville’s fastest players, coaches believe Bon- nafon is also strong enough to bull through the middle. Running backs coach Kolby Smith is stressing on getting Bonnafon to run lower to the ground and gain more leverage. “One of his goals is running with more power,” Smith said. “Once he gets on the edge, he can take it to the house. But in between the tackles, he has to run with great pad level and with power and strength.” Each position switch has resulted in a bulkier Bonnafon, Page B8 samoa news, Wednesday, August 16, 2017

New York Jets quarterback Christian Hackenberg (5) is sacked by Tennessee Titans outside linebacker Aaron Wallace (52) during the third quarter of an NFL football game, Saturday, Aug. 12, 2017, in East Rutherford, N.J. (AP Photo/Julio Cortez) Jets OC Morton on Hackenberg: ‘Basically, he’s a rookie’ The New York Jets’ second- year quarterback took the fi eld in a game for the fi rst time in nearly a year last Saturday night, getting extensive action in the win over Tennessee. And as far as offensive coordinator John Morton was concerned, there was plenty to like. “He did a really good job,” Morton said Tuesday. “He was decisive on his throws. I thought he was accurate. I thought he did a really nice job.” Consider this Year 1: Rebooted for Hack- enberg, who never took a snap in the regular season last year. “He was poised, and that’s what you want to see,” Morton said. “Basically, he’s a rookie, and we thought he did a really nice job with that.” Still, Hacken- berg appeared to be caught off guard a bit by the suggestion that this is basically like his fi rst year in the NFL from an expe- C M rience standpoint. “No, I don’t Y K think I’d say that,” Hackenberg said. “I just feel good with the opportunities that I’ve been given and being able to go out and take advantage of them this year. So, yeah.” Hackenberg, a second-round pick out of Penn State last year, was 18 of 25 for 127 yards while running Morton’s mostly conservative offense against the Titans. He produced no points in eight possessions in the 7-3 win, but also had no turnovers. Still No. 2 in the Jets’ three- man quarterback competition, Hackenberg is doing all he can to make Josh McCown starting in Week 1 at Buffalo less of the near-certainty that it now appears. samoa news, Wednesday, August 16, 2017 Page B9 Fa’aaoga totoga o ta’avale a LeLe le malo e fai ai ta’avale tua LaliLali tusia Ausage Fausia ia taua ai le fai ma ia asia nofoaga o lo o i ai faleaoga sui o le Initeria e asia meatotino a le malo e aofi a ai ma O se tasi o tulaga le manuia o lo o fa’aauau pea ona ma atina’e a le malo i le taimi e manava ai ana galuega ta’avale, na fa’atau i vaega tupe fesoasoani o lo o maua faia e ni isi o tagata faigaluega a le malo, o le tatala ese i ni isi o aso. mai i le Initeria, ma o se tulaga taua tele le tatau lea i mai lea o totoga o ta’avale a le malo ae fa’aaoga e fai O ana asiasiga ia na te molimauina ai i le tele o Fale le faigamalo ona silasila toto’a i auala e tausia lelei ai ai a latou ta’avale, e pei ona taua e le afi oga i le ali’i Inisinia tua, toeititi leai se Fale Inisinia e le o tutu ai ni meatotino a le malo. kovana i luma o le Kapeneta i le vaiaso na te’a nei. ta’avale a le malo pe ta’i 4, 5 poo le sili atu fo’i, ae o ni “Tusa lava pe le tele ni ta’avale na fa’atau i le taimi Na fa’aigoa e le tofa i le tootoo ia Lolo Matalasi isi o nei ta’avale na tutu mai ai lava i nei nofoaga talu o la tatou nofoaiga, o lo tatou tiute le tatau lea ona Moliga lea ituaiga amioga, “o mea sa masani mai ai mai le tausaga e 2010 poo tua atu fo’i. fa’amaopoopo ta’avale uma a le malo ina ia mautinoa lava le atunu’u a o laiti”, lea lava ua o o mai i aso nei “O le mea mata’utia na ou maitauina i la’u asiasiga e umi tausaga o aoga pea e tautua ai le atunu’u”, o le o lo o fa’aauau pea ona faia, ma ua tatau ona taofi a lea lea, o le tele o ta’avale a le malo o loo tutu i ni isi o Fale saunoaga lea a le ali’i kovana. faiga le manuia.

While I love her, I don’t think what she’s doing is right. This affair has been going on for years. I tried broaching the subject with her, but she said it’s her business and unless I’m helping to pay her bills, I don’t have the right to give my opinion. It’s frustrating because she’s driving all over the state with this man. She has two younger daughters at home and she’s rarely home with them. Our entire family dislikes her lover, but she insists on bringing him around “so we can get to know him.” I don’t want to judge her, but it’s hard sometimes. Am I wrong for trying to give her my two cents, or should I mind my own business? -- DISAPPOINTED IN CALIFORNIA DEAR DISAPPOINTED: You have already given your mother your two cents and she has dis- counted it. It should be apparent to you by now that she has no intention of ending this relationship, regardless of your disapproval. Rather than mind your own business, because you want to do some- thing helpful, be as loving and supportive of your younger sisters as you can. From your description of your mother’s behavior, they need love and attention from an adult they are not receiving from her. DEAR ABBY: I was divorced 23 years ago. Before I started dating again, I got a hairpiece and have worn one ever since. Some people are aware that I wear a hairpiece, including my current wife of 20 years. It does make me look a lot younger. I will be turning 55 this year. I’d like to stop wearing the hairpiece and shave my head instead because I have only a fringe of my own hair left. How should I go about it without getting 50,000 questions from friends and family, and what would be a good answer when I’m asked? -- HAIR TODAY, GONE TOMORROW DEAR H.T.G.T.: Removing your hairpiece will be a statement in itself. Afterward, do not be sur- prised if you receive compliments about your new look. Should anyone ask why you decided to do it, tell the truth. Many men with receding hairlines shave their heads and look terrifi c. DEAR ABBY: My son died two months ago. He was 51. It happened on my daughter’s birthday. She says that her birthdays have now stopped.Next year will be a milestone for her as she will be turning 50. How in the world do we celebrate her 50th birthday when we will be thinking about the one-year anniversary of her brother’s death? Some friends suggested we have her birthday celebra- tion a few days early, which I feel is not right. Please help. -- CAROLE IN ARIZONA DEAR CAROLE: I’m sorry for the loss of your son. From now on, your daughter’s birthday will likely always be bittersweet for her as well as you. That’s why I think she should take your friends’ sugges- tion and separate the two events, if possible. A small family get-together around the anniversary date of your son’s death might be more appropriate for everyone, at least this time around. samoa news, Wednesday, August 16, 2017 Page B15 Page B16 samoa news, Wednesday, August 16, 2017
