Published: 1/30/18, 2/6/18 & 2/13/18 Seoul: North Korea cancels pre-Olympic joint cultural event SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea has cancelled one of the key joint coopera- tion projects with South Korea planned for next month’s Winter Olympics, offi cials said, further proving the delicate nature of ties between the rivals split for seven decades. North Korea on Monday night sent a message saying it won’t hold a joint cultural event at the North’s Dia- mond Mountain on Feb. 4 to mark the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, according to Seoul’s Unifi ca- tion Ministry. The ministry cited North Korea as saying it has no other option but to cancel the project because of South Korean media reports that it says defamed its “sincere” measures for the Olympics. The North also accused South Korean media of picking a fi ght over an unspeci- fi ed domestic festival in North Korea, according to the ministry statement. The statement said South Korea considers the North’s decision “very regrettable.” The North didn’t say which media reports were at issue. But some reports had criticized the North’s plan to stage a major event to mark the 70th anniversary of the founding of its military on Feb. 8, just one day before the Olympics’ opening ceremony. South Korean offi - cials have said the North plans a massive military parade on the anniversary. samoa news, Tuesday, January 30, 2018 Page B5 AUTO NATION Pistons fi nalizing deal to NU’UULI: (684) 699-7168 • FAX: (684) 699-7175 Car Tires NEW ARRIVALS Windshield Washer Fluid starting at $109 acquire Griffi n Battery points, 7.9 rebounds and 5.4 $9.99 assists in 33 games this season, starting at $89 Bluetooth Headphone but the Clippers have been $5.95 plagued by injuries and were ninth in the West standings as of Monday night.

DEAR ABBY: My 25-year-old niece still lives at home. She works full time and attends college online. She’s a hard worker who doesn’t do drugs or engage in risky behavior. I pay her a bonus for every A she earns, and I also pay for her health insurance. While I gladly pay the college bonuses, I have misgivings about continuing to pay for her health insurance, even though I can afford it. She doesn’t make much money at her job, but she goes out to restaurants and bars often, attends concerts and takes trips out of state three or four times a year. When I was her age, I also went to college, worked a low-paying job and lived with my mother. Although I went out with friends often, I never wasted money on those other things -- especially vacations. Should I continue paying her health insurance for her? I don’t know if I’m being judgmental or enabling irresponsible behavior. -- PROTECTIVE IN HOUSTON DEAR PROTECTIVE: You are obviously a generous person, but yes, you are being judgmental. Your niece is working, studying and living a clean and healthy life. You had a social life when you were your niece’s age; you should not begrudge her having hers. Going to restaurants, bars and concerts is normal for a young woman her age. However, if you prefer not to subsidize the vacations because you feel they are excessive, discuss your feelings with her before deciding what to do. DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have lived like nomads for the last few years. We have bought, sold and moved many times for all sorts of silly reasons. Our 5-year-old daughter fi nally started school, yet we don’t feel at home here. We now realize buying and selling may not be for us, so we are renting, but we still aren’t happy. We moved here to be close to my oldest and dearest friend, whose kids are now grown, and to my sister, who hardly talks to us or sees us. My husband’s sister and her husband’s family love us and treat us well. They have suggested we should move by them. They have kids our daughter’s age. The only issue is possibly not fi nding a good home or school. Private school could be an option. Would another move be bad? Should we make a fi nal move before our daughter gets vested in school and friends? It would put us within walking distance to several families we spend a lot of time with and who love us very much. We are afraid of judgment from everyone. Please help us sort it out. -- HOPEFUL NOMADS IN ILLINOIS DEAR NOMADS: Forget about the judgments. You will survive them. The older your daughter becomes, the more diffi cult moving away from the people she knows will be for her. If you are going to move to an environment more compatible for you, your husband and your daughter, the time to do it is now, so her education and social relationships will not be as disrupted as they would be when she is older.
