Deja vu, you know?” Riley said Johnson didn’t seek his counsel on what life is like as a team president before taking the Lakers job. Riley said Johnson already knew the answer to anything he would ask, simply from being around his former coach so many times in recent years. The news wasn’t entirely easy for Riley to digest, since he also holds now-former gen- eral manager Mitch Kupchak in high regard. Kupchak, who played for Riley, was let go as part of the front-office sweepout by the Lakers this past week. But he sounded completely confident in what Johnson will accomplish. “There couldn’t be a better person and worker, I think, to be the sort of face and also to spearhead,” Riley said. “He’ll get the job done out there.”
WARRIORS SCHEDULE When Golden State hits the road for a long trip, the road rarely hits back. The Warriors haven’t had a losing record on any trip of four games or more since November 2013, a span of 14 trips. That might get tested in the next few days, part of a stretch that Warriors coach Steve Kerr C M called “insane.” Y K Golden State’s next eight days are busy, to say the least. The Warriors are at Philadel- phia on Monday and Wash- ington on Tuesday, then visit Chicago on Thursday and end this trip with a back-to-back at New York and Atlanta next Sunday and Monday. From there, it’s a cross- country flight home for a March 8 game against Boston — then it’s back to the road for a back- to-back at Minnesota and San Antonio on March 10 and 11. And here’s a note that might play a role in the race for No. 1 out West: Both of Golden State’s games at San Antonio this season are on the second night of road back-to-backs for the Warriors. samoa news, Monday, February 27, 2017 Page B9 Molia se LeLe tama’ita’i faigaluega a le LaliLali

Dear Abby by Abigail Van Buren NEW MOM RETURNING TO WORK WANTS TO FIND RIGHT DAY CARE
DEAR ABBY: I am a new mom to a sweet baby boy. I am (or was) very career-oriented and never in a million years thought I would want to be a stay-at-home mom. I will have to return to work shortly, and I’m really struggling. I have a hard time putting my little one in day care, but I don’t have a choice. I have no idea where to begin, how to select the right day care or what questions to ask. Any assis- tance would be greatly appreciated. -- NEW MOM IN CALIFORNIA DEAR NEW MOM: Start by talking to your friends and family, asking if they know of a day care that’s good, then make sure that any facility you’re considering is licensed. Spend a little time there to see how the caregivers interact with the children. Go to babycenter.com and search on “daycare.” You will find a section on day care centers that will give you the information you need. You should also check with your state’s department of social services to be sure no complaints have been filed. I wish you luck in your search. ••••••••••••••••••••••••• DEAR ABBY: Over the years the people closest to me (immediate family, friends and a few ex- boyfriends) have given me every reason not to trust anyone much. About a year ago I found the courage to date again and met a man who gives me every reason to trust him to the fullest. The problem is, because of my past, I’m having problems doing it. How do I move past my issues and give the relationship I’m in a fair chance before I destroy it? -- GUN-SHY IN MAINE DEAR GUN-SHY: Considering your history, it makes sense that you are afraid of being hurt or taken advantage of. However, not all people are alike. Allow the relationship more time to develop. Don’t be afraid to talk things out with him rather than react by jumping to conclusions and/or making accusations. Listen to what he says and watch what he does. If the two don’t match, regard it as a red flag. However, if they do match, then count your blessings because you may have finally found a winner. ••••••••••••••••••••••••• DEAR ABBY: For years I’ve gone to a neighborhood bar every Friday night for a few hours during cocktail hour. I have recently started using oxygen due to COPD from smoking. My doctor says I can do anything I feel I’m up to. Well, I’m up to going out to the bar like I used to do. Trouble is, I’m self-conscious about the carrier. It doesn’t bother me to go out to stores, etc., but this does. Should I stay home, bored out of my mind, or get on with the life I used to have? -- WANTS TO GET ON WITH LIFE DEAR WANTS: Your doctor has said you can do what you want. I see nothing to be gained by sitting home alone and becoming depressed. My only concern is that the bar you frequent may be smoky and be problematic for your already-damaged lungs. If the bar is smoke-free, go. But if it isn’t, then I’m suggesting you find one that is. samoa news, Monday, February 27, 2017 Page B15 Page B16 samoa news, Monday, February 27, 2017 THANK YOU!
