No problem. Ryan Goins hit a two-run homer and Justin Smoak added a two-run single as the Blue Jays beat the team that eliminated them from last year’s AL Championship Series. Former Blue Jays slugger Edwin Encarnacion, who signed a $60 million, three-year contract with Cleveland last winter, received a warm wel- come in his return to Toronto. Fans cheered his name when the lineups were announced before the game, then roared in approval at a video tribute prior to the first pitch. “It looked like he was touched,” Indians manager said. “I thought it was nice all the way around.” Encarnacion got a standing ovation before his first at-bat, when he lined a first-pitch single off Stroman’s left foot. Encarnacion went 2 for 3 with a walk. Pillar made the defensive play of the game — perhaps the season — in the sixth, diving on the warning track in center to catch a deep drive by Jose Ramirez and strand runners at second and third. “Unbelievable,” Goins said. “One of the best catches I’ve ever seen him make.” Francona called it “a game- changing play.” “That was one of the better plays I’ve seen in a long time,” Francona said. “That’s hard, to dive going back, and that’s what he did.” Perhaps no one was more grateful than Stroman (3-2), who shared a celebratory jump with Pillar as the Blue Jays left the field. “Give that guy a Gold Glove,” Stroman said. “I think Page B4 samoa news, Tuesday May 09, 2017 Orioles hit 3 HRs in 1st inning and beat Nationals 6-4 (AP) — The said. went deep Kevin Gausman (2-3) early and often to beat a team allowed two runs over seven that knows all too well about innings.

Once upon a time, there was an old man who lived with his wife and their son in an impoverished tumbledown hut. The strange thing was, the old man was very wealthy. The trouble was, he was a miser. He chose to live this way because he did not want to spend any of his money. The old man’s wife and son were as skinny as straw because he would not spend his gold -- not even for his family’s food. But even misers get hungry, and as time passed, the old man became so hungry that he grew ill. After a few days, he died and left behind his fortune. The night after he died, the man’s son, Finnur, dreamed that a stranger had appeared before him. The stranger explained that half his father’s wealth was stolen. “You must give it back to the poor,” the stranger said. “The other half you must throw into the sea. But watch care- fully as the money begins to sink.” When Finnur woke, he was very upset. He did not want to give up his father’s riches. He had hoped that he and his mother could at long last live in comfort now that his father had died. But Finnur was honest and generous, and so he sought out his father’s victims and rewarded them with half his fortune. Then he walked out to a jetty that jutted far into the sea. From there, he flung the rest of the fortune. Within a moment, almost all the money was drifting on the wind or sinking into the sea. But Finnur watched “Of course,” the old woman said, the cat in his arms, he departed. “They are called rats, and we are help- closely and saw one scrap of paper “but please, come in.

Dear Abby by Abigail Van Buren WOMAN WONDERS IF OPPOSITES CAN MOVE BEYOND ATTRACTION DEAR ABBY: I have been in a two-year relationship with a man who is loving and intelligent. We have talked about marriage since the beginning. I have traditional values, while he doesn’t believe the institution of marriage is necessary. This would be a second marriage for both of us. Our children are grown, so having kids doesn’t factor into this decision. He says he’s willing to marry me because he knows how important marriage is to me. I was raised in the church, and living together not only makes me uncomfortable, but is looked down upon by my family. For a while he wanted to wait for a few of his financial issues to be worked out. They have been, but he doesn’t seem ready to move forward. Another issue is that while we are compatible in most ways, we are polar opposites when it comes to politics and religion. It bothers me, but he says we don’t have to agree on everything -- that if we did, life would be boring. I feel that to have a happy relationship, a couple’s essential values and morals should be similar. He never wants to discuss political issues, and it makes things difficult and awkward. I know he doesn’t feel the same as I do, but he doesn’t want to start an argument or discussion. We never really fight, but sometimes I’d like to be able to talk about what is going on in the world. I’m wondering if a relationship with so many differences can survive. He does make me happy, and we have a very passionate, loving relationship. -- OPPOSITES ATTRACT IN WASHINGTON DEAR OPPOSITES ATTRACT: Opposites often attract, that’s true. And, depending upon the people involved, it can lead to successful marriages. However, couples in a solid relationship need to be able to communicate honestly with each other, and your gentleman friend appears not to be capable of doing it fully, which is not a good sign. If you plan on taking this relationship to the next level, I recommend the two of you have premarital counseling. Your church may offer it. Or, if he would prefer, consult a licensed marriage and family counselor. ** ** ** DEAR ABBY: My daughter is 3. She has reached the point where she notices and comments upon others’ appearance. Generally, her comments are of the “that lady has a big bottom!” variety, spoken loudly and within earshot. We are working on the concepts of manners and tact, in addition to learning that people come in all shapes, sizes, colors, etc. In the meantime, however, have you any suggestions for how to address the subjects of her com- ments? I’ve offered some version of “I’m sorry, we’re still working on our manners,” but it seems to imply that I’m teaching her to make her hurtful comments in a quieter voice. -- EMBARRASSED IN KENTUCKY DEAR EMBARRASSED: You are overthinking this. Children sometimes say the darndest things. The way you’re handling it is just fine. I hardly think anyone will be wounded for life because of any- thing a 3-year-old utters.
