In the first half, Walter Pati scored for Tafuna 14 minutes into the game, and the goal came after the Warriors domi- nated the ball and territory. After that, the momentum started to shift slowly to Faga’itua, and it culminated in a score by Kitiona on a shot from inside the goalie’s six-yard box. That score came with only a minute to spare in the first half, and tying the game at 1-1. With darkness looming, both coaches were looking at a pen- alty shootout to determine a winner, but Kitiona’s late-game heroics proved the difference maker for the Vikings. A Faga’itua player made a perfect throw-in that went over the head of two defenders, and Kitiona himself. The defenders were caught flatfooted, allowing the Viking’s hero to chase after the ball on a one-v-one situation with Tafuna’s goalie. Kitiona headed the bouncing ball over the grasp of the Warrior’s goal- keeper, and into the back of the net for the win.

Because it’s portrayed as throwing players under the bus. Being disloyal to a player. They don’t know the relationship with the player.

But I want our players to know that I am involved in everything they’re involved with on a day-to-day basis.” On being on the hot seat this season. — “If you have a 4-8 season and you follow it up with another bad season at Notre Dame that to me would say that you don’t know how to fix it.

That confidence wasn’t lost on Beathard. “That means a lot,” he said. “It means a lot to me that they believe in me and trust me like that. I love what Coach Sha- nahan does.” Beathard, the grandson of Super Bowl-winning execu- tive Bobby Beathard, threw for 4,738 yards in two seasons as starter at Iowa. He had 34 touch- down passes and 15 intercep- tions during those two seasons, helping lead the Hawkeyes to a 12-0 regular season and Rose Bowl berth in 2015 and an 8-5 record last year. He showed his toughness by playing through a sports hernia injury for almost all of 2015, a trait he learned watching players like Rodney Harrison and Junior Seau when Bobby Beathard was general manager in San Diego. “I wanted to be as much like those guys as I could,” he said. “Those guys are as tough as it comes.” That earned him the respect of his teammate in college — and NFL coaches like Shanahan. Tight end George Kittle, a teammate at Iowa and a fellow 49ers draft pick, said the num- bers don’t begin to describe Beathard’s impact. “He basically willed us to 20 wins in two years,” Kittle said. “That’s pretty impressive.

DEAR ABBY: I divorced my narcissistic husband after our children were raised. Over the years, I have tried to have a relationship with all of my children and their families. When I asked one of them for a three-day weekend with her children, she texted me saying they all had a lot going on. Then she added, “Maybe next year.” I may not BE here next year! I know she may never read this, but it doesn’t matter to me if it will help someone who does read it. I have decided to change my will. If I’m not worth my children’s time, they don’t deserve my money. Your thoughts? -- WORTHLESS UP NORTH DEAR WORTHLESS: Could it be possible that your daughter and her family are actually busy? Not knowing how you raised your children, it’s hard to render an opinion, but from your reaction, you appear to have a troubled relationship with this daughter. Rather than disinherit her, try to find out what motivated her to text what she did so fences can be mended. If that’s not possible, then you have every right to reallocate your assets as you wish.
DEAR ABBY: I have a huge problem with low self-esteem. For most of my life I was ridiculed, teased and bullied, not only by my classmates and co-workers, but also by my own family. It started when I was very young and continued well into my early 30s. (I am 35 now.) Because of this, I find it incredibly difficult to date anyone. I always seem to find it easier to talk down about myself than to make myself happy. Please help me, Abby. I’m at a loss about what to do. -- SELF-ESTEEM ISSUES IN OHIO DEAR ISSUES: I’m glad you wrote. The seeds of low self-esteem were planted when you were so young you didn’t understand what was being done was a form of abuse. Because it continued for so long, you should seek professional help to overcome it. It is important that you get it from a licensed therapist. Your physician or your insurance company can refer you to qualified people. Please don’t wait.
DEAR ABBY: Prior to meeting me, my husband was in a long-term relationship with a woman, “Karen,” who was also a close friend of his sisters. Their relationship and the friendships ended due to Karen’s behavior. Years passed, and then my husband met me. Now, 10 years later, the sisters have decided to befriend Karen again. This would normally not be an issue, but Karen is invited to all family parties and weddings. It is very uncomfortable for my hus- band and me, as we feel we don’t have the option to skip these events. I have tried to quietly object, but I’m being painted as “immature.” Please help. -- UNCOMFORTABLE IN ILLINOIS DEAR UNCOMFORTABLE: If you and your husband prefer not to socialize regularly with Karen, you certainly don’t have to. However, your discomfort with her does not entitle you to insist your sisters-in-law exclude her from all of their parties. Attend the ones you must, make the best of them, and send your regrets for the rest. samoa news, Friday, May 05, 2017 Page B15 Page B16 samoa news, Friday, May 05, 2017
