Recently, however, he was transferred to Craig Hos- pital in Englewood, Colorado for further rehabilitation. “On behalf of the University of Hawaii, we wish to extend our appreciation to the College Football Assistance Fund for their generosity and support of Kalepo,” Athletics Director David Matlin said. “This gift will make a big difference in assisting the Naotala family in Kalepo’s road to recovery.” Naotala’s medical costs will continue rising, meaning fund- raising efforts must continue. Those able to assist can make donations at www.CFCFund. org, which will be put in a restricted fund for Kalepo and his family. “As unfortunate of an incident as it was for Kalepo, the outpouring of support has been amazing,” head coach Nick Rolovich said. “With the help of the College Football Assistance Fund and many C M others who have generously Y K supported the Naotala family, it will make their journey a little easier.” STATEMENT FROM THE NAOTALA FAMILY “Words can’t express how blessed we’ve been in the midst of this trying time for our family.

We’d like to thank the Col- lege Football Assistance Fund (CFAF) for their support and generous donation in allowing our family to focus on Kalepo, and his recovery and rehabilita- tion.

(AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar) Semenya: ‘No time for non- sense’ after bronze medal in 1,500 LONDON (AP) — As always, Caster Semenya is focused on racing, not regula- tions. And she has some big goals, too. The South African plans to be around for a while, and maybe dominate the 1,500 meters the way she has the 800. After falling over the line to earn bronze in the 1,500 on Monday at the world champi- onships, Semenya was fl ooded with questions about a long- running dispute over whether females with excessive testos- terone should be allowed to compete. In 2011, the IAAF instituted restrictions on ath- letes with hyperandrogenism, but a ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport over- turned that. The governing body is appealing, with a deci- sion possible next year. Asked about it during the medalists’ news conference, Semenya said: “I have no time for nonsense. I’m an athlete.” “For me, it’s their own deci- sions,” she said. “Like I said before, my focus is more on getting healthy and competing. I really don’t have time for non- sense.” In the race, Semenya moved from fi fth to third over the fi nal 100 meters thanks to her signature fi nishing kick — the one that turned her into an Olympic champion in the 800. Up for a new challenge, she’s trying her hand at the 1,500 — and is still learning the nuances of going four laps instead of two. In this one, she allowed too big of gap and couldn’t catch winner Faith Kipyegon of Kenya or silver-medalist Jenny. Page B6 samoa news, Tuesday , August 8, 2017

Over the past several months it has gotten back to me that one of the trainers, “Bob,” has been talking negatively about me to some of the other members. My boyfriend works out with another trainer there, and during his workout, I approached him and his trainer and expressed my anger about what Bob was doing. I said I was fed up and that I wanted to confront him.My boyfriend told me to keep my mouth shut and say nothing. He said I shouldn’t take it personally, that Bob is just being a hater. He also said the person who told me shouldn’t have. I disagree. I don’t think it matters how it got back to me -- it did! Last week, while his regular trainer was away, my boyfriend trained with Bob! I feel it was disloyal, but he disagrees. He thinks I should just let it go. What do you think? -- GYM DILEMMA DEAR GYM DILEMMA: Because the bad-mouthing has happened more than once, talk to the manager of the gym about what’s going on. Bob may not like you, but that doesn’t give him the right to make the gym an unpleasant place for clients to visit. If your boyfriend were loyal, he would have told Bob to knock it off. And he would not have worked out with him when his regular trainer was away; he would have chosen someone else. DEAR ABBY: My sister-in-law lives in another state, so she often mails my daughter’s gifts to us after she buys the items online. Then she expects me to wrap them. The icing on the cake? She’s now saying I need to add bows to these gifts, but she doesn’t send any money for the wrapping paper or bows. I think this is very rude. My daughter thinks her aunt takes the time to purchase these gifts, when she’s only pressing a button and that is it. With everyone shopping online more and more, is this a new trend, to have the parents wrap gifts instead of the person giving them? -- ONLINE GIFT GIVING DEAR ONLINE: It’s only a trend if you decide to let it become one. Feeling as you do, it’s time you had a discussion with your sister-in-law concerning how you feel about this arrangement and what you expect from her. DEAR ABBY: My wife of 55 years passed away fi ve months ago and I am lonely. How long should I wait before establishing a relationship with another woman? A certain lady and I go to church together, so we are well acquainted. I never thought about being with her until my wife died. She and my wife were friendly acquaintances. What is the right time to wait? Six months? A year? I never thought I could be lonely. Well, think again! -- READY FOR THE FUTURE DEAR READY: There’s no timetable for grieving. If you feel you are ready for companionship, all you need to do is pick up the phone and call the lady you have in mind. To do that is not disrespectful to your late wife. It’s a tribute to the happiness you experienced being part of a couple. samoa news, Tuesday , August 8, 2017 Page B15 Page B16 samoa news, Tuesday, August 7, 2017

One day his father the merchant asked, and Malik forgot play. Once again, the people gathered from that day on, Malik was known called Malik to his side. “We are going all about the peas.

Malik stopped drumming and Suddenly, he stopped. “I’ve my son, is how to be a good man.” for the cows and the sheep and the garden.” “Of course!” Malik said. “I will be the perfect man of the house!” For the first week, Malik was a perfect son. He milked the cows, herded the sheep, helped his mother with the cooking, cleaning and pre- paring of their meals. At the end of the week, Malik’s mother said, “Here are five coins to go to market to buy us some peas for supper.” Malik had never before been to the market on his own, and he had never been the one to hold the money. As he ran toward town, he felt proud, strong and brave. When he reached the market, even it seemed brighter and shinier than he remembered. The booths looked bigger than usual, the fruits and vegetables looked fresher, the people seemed to be smiling more broadly, and their clothes were more colorful. Every- thing smelled sweeter, and even the sounds seemed different. That’s when Malik heard a sound he had never heard before. It rose above the voices of the merchants selling their wares; it was deeper and more resonant, more compelling. “Bong, ke-bong, ke-bong, bong, bong,” came the sound, and Malik felt he had to dance. He walked C M toward the merchant selling peas, but Y K he couldn’t resist. That sound was luring him forward, and at long last he came to the source of that sound. A sea of people stood in his way, and he could not see what was making that sound, but all those people were swaying their hips, clapping their hands and dancing, and Malik, too, began to dance. “Bong, ke-bong, ke- bong, bong, bong ...” Malik pushed forward, trying to see what was making that sound. At long last, he dodged his way through the dancers, and he saw it: A tall, skinny man beating his hands upon a tall, skinny drum: “Bong, ke-bong, bong, bong.” Malik felt his hands begin to twitch. He had to play that drum, and he moved closer until the man was smiling down at him, laughing, looking at the boy’s twitching fingers. “You want to play
