SETION B VISIT SAOA A NEWS ONLINE @ SAOANEWS.O TUESDA, OTOBER 3, 2017 LASSIFIEDS ARTOONS ALOHA BRIEFS & ORE Sharks send Wildcats home with losses in both divisions by T. Gasu Samoa News Sports orrespondent The Samoana Sharks, led by head coach Pati Pati, secured their first victory in the varsity division this season, following a 21-12 victory over the Wildcats, in a game that wasn t easy for Samoana to win, as Nu uuli put up quite the fight throughout the match. On the other hand, Samoana s JV squad is looking unstoppable and more powerful going into the second round of competition. Their only loss is from a disqualification during the season opener against Leone when the Sharks failed to provide the required Physical Testing documents from the Department of Health a procedure that all teams must follow. In addition to JV Samoana s threatening air attack, there is the intensifying rhythm of their defensive unit, as the current boys in blue were all part of the AFS Bears football team that won an undefeated championship title two years ago. Today, that same defense has regrouped but this time, at the high school level, and they are wreaking havoc on the gridiron, with asaichi Aviu and coore leading the way for Samoana s Big D. They also have Paul Fano, a former star player of the AFS hargers. overage of ASHSAA high school football is sponsored by ongresswoman Aumua Amata. JUNIOR VARSIT Samoana 32, Nu uuli 8 Although their defense played a huge factor in their win against Nu uuli last Friday evening, the real talk is about Jr. Tanielu s pair of 80-plus yard quarterback keeps for touchdowns. At just 8:25 into the opening quarter of the game, Samoana crossed the goal line with the first touchdown of the game; a third down reception for the Sharks inside Wildcats territory, as Nu uuli sent the blitz. Tanielu made them pay when he fired a bullet through the middle to the numbers of John Ugaitafa for a 10-yard touchdown reception. The twopoint conversion in the hands of Paul Fano was good enough to get them an early eight-point lead. Not too long after that, after Nu uuli pinned Samoana deep in their own territory on a long punt, Jr. Tanielu turned his boosters on in a third and long situation, and turned up an 84-yard touchdown reception on a quarterback keep. The extra point conversion was an inside hand-off to Fano again to extend the Sharks lead to 16 points. 9:15 into the second quarter of play, Samoana s second down situation from their own 20-yard line, Tanielu not able to find an open receiver kept the ball and stormed towards the sidelines, bounced back towards midfield evading defenders and was gone with another Samoana touchdown: an 80-yard reception, his second quarterback keep for six. The two-point conversion in the hands of Fano again was good with Fano scoring his third extra point conversion in a row. It wasn t until the second half when the Wildcats finally figured out a way to get around the Sharks bruising defensive unit, as they continuously played the option game, giving them an opportunity inside Samoana territory, where the (ontinued on page B4)

(AP) The Redskins and hiefs stood for a moment of silence before the national anthem, and flags flew at half-staff over Arrowhead Stadium, to honor victims of the Las Vegas shooting before onday night s game between Washington and ansas ity. embers of the Redskins remained standing on their sideline, arms locked in unity, as the ansas ity Symphony performed the anthem. Everybody on the hiefs sideline also remained standing except for cornerback arcus Peters and linebacker Ukeme Eligwe, who sat stoically on the bench. hiefs linebacker Justin Houston knelt in prayer before standing for the rest of the rendition. Dozens of players and teams took to social media earlier in the day to express condolences to those affected by the tragedy. The hiefs joined in the outpouring, tweeting that Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and all those affected by the tragedy in Las Vegas. The deadliest shooting in modern U.S. history Sunday night left at least 59 concertgoers dead and more than 500 injured. It also caused ESPN, which broadcasts onday night games, to reverse its plans and show the national anthem on television before the game. ESPN shows the anthem on rare occasions, such as the season s first onday night game, which fell on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. But after it aired the anthem before last week s owboys- ardinals game following league-wide protests among players, spurred on by the critical comments of President DBAS requests proposals for financial audits and the related single audits for a period of three years, beginning with the audit of fiscal year 2017 through fiscal year 2019. Fiscal and calendar years are coincident at DBAS. DOUENT Requests for proposal packet outlining requirements will be available for pick up at DBAS on Friday August 18, 2017 or emailing charmaine@dbas.as for information regarding the RFP. It can also be accessed through the DBAS website: www. dbas.as (click public notice) The Request for Proposals (RFP) describes the specifications for the services to be provided in sufficient details to permit competition and allow the interested party to properly respond to the RFP. This RFP is issued under Title 28, hapter 1, of the American Samoa ode Annotated. DBAS invites the submission of proposals to include pricing and other details as indicated in the specifications. Attachments will be provided as an aid in presenting a comprehensive proposal consistent with the requirements of DBAS. DBAS will select a contractor who best meets the needs of DBAS. The factors for selection will include, but not be limited to the following: understanding of the requirements of the financial and single auditors; verifiable ability to perform well; good reputation; flexibility, including ability to respond quickly to needs of a small client in a remote location and throughout the year; and reasonability of costs. The proposals will be reviewed by a committee consisting of representatives from DBAS management and board. The committee may request interviews with potential contractors after reviewing the proposals before the final selection is made. Submission: Proposals must be received by DBAS no later than 2:00pm local time on October 30, 2017.

The electricity inside Arrowhead Stadium was evident even during warmups, when the hiefs Terrance itchell and Redskins cornerback Josh Norman were among those involved in a brief scuffle at midfield. Three members of the Army s special operations parachute demonstration team, the Black Daggers, dropped into the stadium about 30 minutes before kickoff, while All-Star catcher Salvador Perez of the ansas ity Royals banged the ceremonial drum in the end zone a few minutes later. But it was the moment of silence that brought everything into perspective. Authorities were still searching for a motive behind the shooting at a country music concert in Las Vegas, where a crowd of 22,000 was watching Jason Aldean perform. The gunman, identified as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, killed himself before officers stormed his hotel room at the andalay Bay. The big screens at each end of Arrowhead Stadium displayed a black-and-white picture of the Las Vegas skyline, and the simple words: Pray for Las Vegas. When the anthem played, the Redskins continued their practice of locking arms that they started last week against Oakland. But this time, rather than some taking a knee, they all stood at attention. The Redskins said in a statement they are proud of the players, coaches and fans of the Washington Redskins for all that they have done to improve the lives of others in neighborhoods all across our region. We are also grateful for the sacrifices made by the brave men and women of our armed forces that have provided us the freedom to play football. any members of the hiefs also took a knee before last week s game against the hargers, including tight end Travis elce and wide receiver hris onley, both of whom stood onday night. It s never really been about the military of veterans, onley said this earlier week. Guys are continuing to have a dialogue and discussion, and that s the beautiful thing about a locker room, and what we want to take out there, is that people may not agree. They can talk about things. And ultimately we can talk about things as brothers, and we support each other. Asked if there was any kind of show planned for onday night, he replied: Oh, there s definitely going to be a show. The ansas ity hiefs are playing the Washington Redskins.

[photo; TG] Turnovers have pushed Lions to encouraging start ALLEN PAR, ich. (AP) The Detroit Lions are at the top of the NFL in turnover margin, and safety iles illebrew figures the defensive players can share the credit. Everyone doing their job, illebrew said onday. There s enough plays to go around. Through four games, the Lions have forced 11 turnovers and lost only two, and that may be the biggest reason they re off to such a promising start. Detroit beat innesota 14-7 on Sunday, recovering three fumbles by the Vikings in the second half. The Lions (3-1) won on the road Sunday despite a rough game offensively. Down 7-3 at halftime, they recovered a fumble near midfield early in the third quarter, and a field goal cut the lead to one. On the Vikings next play from scrimmage, Dalvin ook fumbled, giving Detroit the ball at the innesota 29. That was a short enough field for the Lions to take advantage of, and a touchdown gave them the lead for good. The Vikings final chance expired late in the fourth quarter, when another fumble around midfield was recovered by Detroit. The Lions had only 63 yards of offense in the second half and still won. ou have to be able to win at a number of different ways, coach Jim aldwell said. Sometimes it s maybe an offensive juggernaut and your special teams are clicking, or maybe it s your defense and your special teams, or maybe it s just your special teams unit has done a great job in the game. So far, the Lions have shown they can force turnovers in different ways. They have seven interceptions and have recovered four fumbles by their opponents. Detroit forced four turnovers in its season-opening win over Arizona, intercepting arson Palmer three times. Even in their only loss, to Atlanta in Week 3, the Lions intercepted att Ryan three times to keep that game close. illebrew says it s a team effort, no matter which player ultimately comes up with the ball. Turnovers, I ve said it before, that s a direct result of excellent defensive line pressure, illebrew said. They re a blast to watch. If you get extra time, just watch the defensive line. They are hungry and it s beneficial to the whole defense. One concern for Detroit is that all these turnovers may be covering up some problems elsewhere. The Lions can t assume they ll keep giving their offense the ball in opposing territory all season. It s not a given, aldwell said. We certainly think our guys have worked at it, we try to point those things out, how practice obviously makes a difference, but we ve practiced them in years past as well, and hadn t gotten nearly as many. But I do think that we got guys that are closing in on the ball a lot faster, guys are in better position when balls are loose.

Price, 71, coached UTEP from 2004-12 and took the iners to three bowl games. From 1989-2002, he was coach at Washington State, where he had three 10-win seasons and the led the ougars to the 1998 Rose Bowl. UTEP fired ugler on Sunday, two weeks after offensive coordinator Brent Pease was let go. We ve lost two coaches, and while we have two fine coordinators who are capable of doing the job, I just felt like it was important to bring in somebody with head coaching experience that is familiar with El Paso and our program, said longtime athletic director Bob Stull, who announced in August he is retiring but is staying on until a successor is named. Price said he surprised and flattered to be asked by Stull to serve as interim coach. I am not interviewing for the future job, and I m not going to be the future head coach. I m going to manage the program and provide leadership for the rest of the year, Price said. Before landing at UTEP, Price became Alabama coach in 2003 but never coached a game for the rimson Tide. Sharks send Wildcats ontinued from page B1 Wildcats played a desperate third and goal situation, with Daniel aea sneaking the ball in behind his offensive linemen for their first touchdown of the game. The two-point conversion was a reverse hand off to (#81) and brought them back to trail the Sharks 8-24. Late in the final quarter of the game, as the Wildcats were desperately holding on, Tanielu and his offense were already in rhythm, and couldn t be stopped. Samoana s third down on Nu uuli s 15-yard line and Tanielu scrambled for his life after not finding an open receiver. On his way past the line of scrimmage Tanielu fumbled the ball, luckily he was able to pick it up while stumbling towards the end zone to score his third touchdown of the game. The two-point conversion in the hands of Fano again resulted in a 32-8 victory for the Sharks, their 3rd win of the season. VARSIT DIVISION Nu uuli, 12 Samoana, 21 The Sharks were stunned in the opening quarter of the game, when Ziggy Faletoi and Nu uuli s offensive unit came out with an explosive running game, a strategy that put them in the lead for the first time this season. 1:22 remaining in the opening quarter and Faletoi sends Joseph auga up the middle with a counter hand-off play that auga turned up for six; a 32-yard touchdown reception that put Nu uuli in the lead. The extra point conversion hand-off to Jerry Isaako was plugged up immediately by Samoana s Solomona Seiuli behind the line of scrimmage. Nu uuli s middle linebacker, Branson Pualau was back in action after an injury against the Warriors last week. Pualau was able to lead Nu uuli s defense in shutting out the Sharks throughout the first half of the game, as they led by six points throughout the opening half of play. It wasn t until the third quarter that Samoana found Nu uuli s weakness in the backfield. An air attack was needed to evade the Wildcats unstoppable defensive pressure. 6:09 into the third and Anthony Feala turns to fire a long one to oses ichael Samia for Samoana s first touchdown of the game. The field goal conversion by Elliot Lelei was good enough to bring them up to take the lead by a point. Just when Samoana thought they had things rolling, auga and the Wildcats offense turned up the heat. 1:33 remaining in the third quarter and Faletoi sends Joseph auga up the middle with the delay hand-off that auga turned up for six; a 65-yard reception for auga s second touchdown of the game which took Nu uuli back up 12-7. It wasn t until the eighth minute of the final quarter of play, that Samoana finally recuperated and started to get their option game intact. With David ikaele and Louis alala Jr. plowing through defenders in the running game; and the pass game kept up for the Sharks. Samoana s second down from Nu uuli s 45-yard line, and Feala looked far to fire another long bomber to Samia to spot Samoana a threatening first down situation on Nu uuli s 5-yard line. From there, Feala opted to give the hand off to ikaele who ran over defenders on his way to crossing the goal line for his first touchdown of the game, as they came back to take the lead 14-12 after a field goal conversion by Elliot Lelei. Nearing the end of the match, Samoana was hot and firing all cylinders without hesitation. 2:11 remaining in the ball game, and Anthony Feala finds Zephaniah Pati on the post route to the end zone for Pati s first touchdown catch of the game, a 25-yard reception that extended Samoana s lead to 20-12. The field goal conversion by Elliot Lelei sealed the 21-12 victory, with Lelei kicking his fourth successful field goal of the match.

Dear Abby b by Abigail Van Buren ILLIONAIRE BOFRIEND PROVES STING WITH AIRLINE REWARDS DEAR ABB: I am in a long-distance relationship with a man who lives halfway across the country. Because he s very wealthy, he arranges for all the airfare. I am a single mother and I have limited finances. Bruce owns a successful business and, through his business, racks up millions of credit card points. He never pays out of pocket for any vacation expenses -- hotels, car, airfare, cruises, etc. Because I have been flying so often to see him, I have been bumped several times from my flights and received travel credits on the airlines, which I was excited to get because now I have the ability to fly with my children somewhere. The problem is, Bruce insists I use the vouchers only to see him since they were obtained on his points. I argued that they were my vouchers for giving up my seats. He says, yes, the seats HE bought. Getting airfare is absolutely no skin off his nose -- he has millions of dollars and millions of points! Am I out of line here? -- BUPED IN ANSAS DEAR BUPED: I don t think so. However, you are getting an insight into Bruce -- who appears to be unwilling to subsidize any travel that includes your children. If you haven t already noticed, that should be a big red flag if you re considering a future with this millionaire. DEAR ABB: y three best friends over the last four years recently decided to start a business together. They said I was more than welcome to join them, but financially I wasn t able to swing it. I work part-time, so I have been helping them when I can. When we get together for dinner once a month, most of their conversation focuses on their business. But recently they discussed a shopping trip they took together. They went on a day I could have gone, but I was not invited. Should I take this -- and other similar incidents -- as a hint that our friendship has run its course? -- FEELING LEFT OUT DEAR FEELING LEFT OUT: Talking about the shopping trip in front of you was insensitive. However, you may not have been invited because your friends were afraid you might be embarrassed it you could not participate in the shopping. ou mentioned that their business arrangement is recent. They may be discussing business because that s what is on their minds. Don t write them off or withdraw just yet. ou can always do that. Wait to see how things play out. DEAR ABB: Help! I m a 67-year-old man being relentlessly chased by a 68-year-old woman. I have told her I want to date other women and will be moving out of the country at the end of the year. Despite this, she is constantly trying to maneuver me into an exclusive relationship, probably ending in living together. I don t want to hurt her, but I m at a loss as to how to get her to back off. -- HAPPIL UNOITTED DEAR UNOITTED: Here s how. Tell her you can t handle the pressure she s putting on you and end the relationship NOW.
