(AP Photo/Gene Puskar) Published: 3/16, 3/23/2017 said in a news release at the time of the incident that Seferian- Jenkins was driving between 75 and 80 mph on Interstate 275 when his vehicle cut in front of a trooper’s cruiser and weaved back and forth. He was charged with DUI and violation of an ignition interlock device restriction from an arrest in Washington in 2013 while the tight end was playing at the University of Washington. Seferian-Jenkins refused a breath test at the Hillsborough County Jail. A video posted by TMZ showed dash cam footage from the trooper’s cruiser of the arrest, during which Seferian-Jenkins repeat- edly told the officer he had to use the bathroom. Seferian-Jenkins pleaded no contest last month to a reduced charge of reckless driving. He had originally pleaded not guilty to a DUI charge. Seferian-Jenkins is allowed to participate in all offseason and preseason practices and games, per NFL rules. The 2014 second-round draft pick finished with 13 catches for 154 yards and a touchdown in nine games with the Buccaneers and Jets last season. He had 21 receptions in each of his first two NFL sea- sons and hasn’t lived up to his lofty draft status. Injuries have been an issue for Seferian- Jenkins, who dealt with ankle and hamstring ailments after joining New York. Seferian-Jenkins started two games for the Jets and appears to be the front-runner to top the team’s depth chart at the posi- tion. New York also has Eric Tomlinson, Braedon Bowman and Jason Vander Laan on the roster. NOTES: The Jets announced that they had free agent fullback Zach Line in for a visit. Line has spent the past four seasons with the Minne- sota Vikings. Page B6 samoa news, Thursday, March 16, 2017 All charges dismissed against ex-New York Jet Darrelle Revis

The four-time All-Star made 15 of his 21 field goal attempts in addition to his six 3-pointers. “Things came easy because of the offensive flow,” George said. “Also, playing a team for the fourth time, I knew how they were going to guard me and I tried to take advantage of it.” The Hornets would make one last attempt at a comeback, opening the fourth quarter with an 8-2 run that would pull them within 10 points. But Indiana answered back with a run of its own, using a 14-2 spurt to go ahead by 22. Indiana’s largest lead of the game was 25 in the fourth quarter. Wednesday night’s loss to Indiana was Charlotte’s third straight and its fourth in its pre- vious five games. Indiana (35- 33) is trying to maintain its hold on the Eastern Conference’s sixth seed, while the Hornets (29-39) sit four games out of the final playoff spot. “You could see it right from the beginning of the game (George) had a look in his eye.

Dear Abby by Abigail Van Buren DAD’S DUMPSTER-DIVING HABIT CAUSES HIS FAMILY CONCERN DEAR ABBY: I have an issue with my father and don’t know where to turn. Dad is in his early 80s and -- aside from poor eyesight -- he’s in good health. I’m concerned because he has developed an unusual habit. He likes to look through the dumpsters behind the grocery store. Initially he told me it was to get old produce for compost in his garden. But I have learned that he eats some of the things he finds. I have tried telling him this is dangerous. He could cut himself digging through the trash or get food poisoning. He refuses to listen and insists that what he is doing is safe. (He is NOT forced to do this out of economic necessity. He has enough money to buy groceries.) The situation has become critical because he is now planning to cook something he found in the dumpster for a family gathering. I told him not to do it. If he does prepare food from the trash, I told him he must let people know where it came from, so they can make an informed decision about whether to eat it. Abby, please help. -- GROSSED OUT DEAR GROSSED OUT: If you can’t convince your father to disclose to relatives that the food he’s serving may have come from a dumpster, YOU should alert them to that possibility. P.S. A worldwide trend I heard about recently is something called “freeganism.” (The term is derived from a cross between “free” and “vegan.”) Freegans “rescue” food from behind markets to share among themselves to combat food waste, and in Paris, France, there’s even a restaurant that serves food procured this way for a reduced fee. Caveat emptor: People who consume this food should be aware that the food may be past its nutri- tional peak, and they may risk a food-borne illness if it wasn’t stored properly. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• DEAR ABBY: My 9-year-old daughter has several friends whom we love and who are good bud- dies for her. However, the rules in their homes are different from those at ours. One friend in particular, “Sarah,” eats a lot of junk food and watches more TV than we allow. When my daughter asks why she can’t have chips and ice cream after school, or why we watch movies only on weekends, I remind her that good food and exercise make her healthy, and with less TV she does better in school. I’m not interested in critiquing Sarah or her family, who are lovely people we really like. However, I do want to make the connection between unhealthy lifestyle choices and possible consequences because this is a subject we’ll keep revisiting as my daughter grows up. I have been trying to say things like, “Everyone makes their own decisions. This is why we do it this way,” but at 9, my daughter sees things as pretty black or white. If our way is right, then their way must be wrong. I’m totally failing at subtlety. Is there a better approach that I could take to talking about this without invoking comparisons? -- LIFESTYLE CHOICES IN SOUTH DAKOTA DEAR LIFESTYLE CHOICES: Do not attempt to debate this with your 9-year-old. If your daughter argues with you about your parenting style, tell her that different families have different standards and that you are doing what you think is right for yours. Period. If she needs more of an explanation, then fall back on the message you have been sending her, and in time she will understand. samoa news, Thursday, March 16, 2017 Page B15 Page B16 samoa news, Thursday, March 16, 2017
