(AP) — Golden State Warriors guard Patrick McCaw has been released from a hospital fol- lowing a terrifying fall to the floor during Saturday’s game at Sacramento. The team also said Sunday that preliminary tests showed McCaw has no structural damage or problems with his nervous system after the freak injury. Golden State announced that X-rays, a CT scan and an MRI “were all clear.” McCaw was able to leave UC Davis Med- ical Center. He is scheduled to be re-examined by a specialist on Thursday and his injury — aside from anything related to the impact of the fall — will be listed as a bruised lumbar spine. “Just a huge relief,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “Last Golden State Warriors guard Patrick McCaw is taken off the court on a stretcher after falling hard to the floor late in the third night was really terrifying.

He married an acquaintance who is 30 years younger at the courthouse with no friends or family in attendance. He told this woman beforehand that there was a large widow’s pension he’d paid into for decades that he wanted to give to her by marrying her. She claimed to be in an “unhappy” marriage at the time, and promptly got a divorce. Well, she and her now-ex have “suddenly started getting along just great,” so she decided to continue to live with her ex after her marriage to Dad. Despite agreeing to these terms and because the woman teased him before their marriage, Dad is angry that she still won’t have sex with him. Also upsetting is that when they are out socially, his new wife still introduces her ex as her “husband” and Dad as their “friend.” Now we learn, despite assurances during discussions with an attorney prior to the marriage that she would never exercise her rights as a spouse to any other funds or property, she’s asking my dad for a monthly allowance so she can retire, since she has no savings. Abby, do we have any recourse in this situation? Do you think we are right to call my father’s marriage fraudulent, and would we be considered accomplices by not reporting it to any authorities before his death? -- STEPDAUGHTER IN REVOLT DEAR STEPDAUGHTER: You are correct that the “marriage” was fraudulent, and you certainly do have recourse. Your father’s lawyer should be consulted immediately to discuss an annulment of this bogus arrangement. Because your father’s judgment is so poor, go with him to ensure that no details are left out. Frankly, I think the woman may be guilty of elder abuse, and your father may need a conservator. DEAR ABBY: I’m in seventh grade. Until recently, I was my usual happy, bubbly self. I saw school as a place to make friends and have more freedom than I did in elementary school. I was always happy and social and made friends easily. As the months have passed, it seems like, as I look around, everything annoys me. I can’t explain why but I have stopped talking to all of my friends for long periods of time. All these terrible emotions build up. I am angry, sad, frustrated. Now everything that has built up inside me comes out at the worst times. I cry a lot and I feel no one understands why. This may seem like a normal middle-school breakdown that goes away over days, but it’s not. People see me crying and think, “Oh no, she’s crying for no reason again” or “Why is she crying? What is wrong?” but the thing is I don’t know what’s wrong with me. At odd moments when I’m alone with my thoughts, these feelings come back, stronger and stronger each time. I can’t stop them. Why am I like this? -- ALMOST-TEEN IN TURMOIL DEAR ALMOST-TEEN: That’s a very good question, and one you should ask your parents, because they know you better than I do. The lows you are experiencing may result from the fact that you are maturing and the hormones in your body are changing. However, because you are concerned enough about what’s going on to write to me, you may need to be examined by a physician. If you need help beyond that, the doctor can recommend a referral. I’m glad you wrote. It shows you are an intelligent young lady who recognizes she has a problem and wants to deal with it. samoa news, Tuesday, April 3, 2018 Page B15 Page B16 samoa news, Tuesday, April 3, 2018

C M PROCLAMATION Y K A Proclamation Declaring April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month

WHEREAS, the American Samoa Alliance against Domestic & Sexual Violence, also known as “The Alliance”, calls attention to April 2018 as Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). Crimes of sexual violence in American Samoa are witnessed in our homes, villages, churches, and heavily reported in the media; and WHEREAS, the purpose of SAAM is to raise public awareness about sexual violence and educate communities on how to prevent it; and WHEREAS, rape, sexual assault, and sexual harassment endangers our community. A study done at the American Samoa Community College in 2016 revealed that 25% of students had experienced sexual assault of some form, either rape, attempted rape, molestation or incest, and 46% percent of those stated they kept it to themselves; and WHEREAS, child sexual abuse prevention must be a priority as one in six boys and one in four girls will experience sexual assault before the age of 18; and WHEREAS, the theme of this year’s Sexual Assault Awareness Month campaign is “Embrace Your Voice”. The Alliance will host activities and a vigil for the community on how to use their words to stop violence before it happens by promoting safety, respect, and equality; and WHEREAS, we recognize our words are important, and whether you speak out against victim blaming, or helping someone better understand these issues, your voice is powerful and necessary in this conversation; and WHEREAS, we ask each individual to embrace your voice and show your support for survivors in our community. Stand up to victim blaming, shut down rape jokes, correct harmful misconceptions, promote everyday consent, and practice healthy communication with kids. NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved that I, Lolo Matalasi Moliga, Governor of American Samoa, do hereby proclaim the month of April 2018 as “Sexual Assault Awareness Month”, and join the American Samoa Alliance against Domestic & Sexual Violence organization and our community in taking action to prevent sexual violence. April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and each day of the year is an opportunity to create change for the future. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my signature on this 26th day of March 2018, in the year of the Lord, two thousand and eighteen.
