Yet the only number Ben Roethlisberger seemed concerned about after helping the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Indianapolis Colts 51-34 on Sunday was two. After spending the first seven weeks alternating wins and losses, the Steelers have won consecutive games for the first time this year. And just like that, Pittsburgh (5-3) is in the mix in the packed AFC North with a showdown against rival Baltimore next week. “This is a big turning point for us if you will, 5-3 sounds a lot better than 4-4,” Roethlisberger said. “It puts us back in the thick of some AFC stuff.” With a bullet. The Steelers raced to an early 35-10 lead, scoring touchdowns on their first four possessions and mixed in a pick-six against Andrew Luck. Still, they needed an uncharacteristic mistake by Luck and some aggressive playcalling by coach Mike Tomlin to avoid a collapse. The Colts trailed 42-34 midway through the fourth quarter when they recovered a fumble at the Pittsburgh 5. Any chance of another memorable comeback disappeared when Luck tripped over the foot of center Jonotthan Harrison and flung the ball from his backside while sitting on the goal line. Officials called him for intentional grounding in the end zone. The safety pushed the Steelers’ lead to 10 and Roethlisberger’s sixth touchdown pass of the day on the ensuing possession capped his 100th victory as a starter. “This was offense, defense and special teams, coaches,” Roethlisberger said. “This was everybody and why does it have to stop here? Why can’t we keep doing this?” Replicating the greatest performance of his 11-year career might be tough. Roethlisberger’s passing yardage tied for the fourth-most in NFL history. He became the first player ever to have two games with 500 yards in the air and set a team record with his half-dozen scoring tosses. “Ben is Ben,” wide receiver Antonio Brown said. “He never surprises me. It’s a great day at the office.” And not so much for the Colts (5-3), who saw their five-game winning streak end in spectacular fashion. “We didn’t do much of anything to give ourselves a chance,” Indianapolis coach Chuck Pagano said. Not with Roethlisberger at the top of his game. Here are some other takeaways from Pittsburgh’s most impressive win of the season: WIDE OPEN OFFENSE: While Brown led the way as usual with 10 receptions for 133 yards and two scores, Roethlisberger spread it around. Nine players caught at least one pass, including rookie Martavis Bryant. Buried on the inactive list for the first six weeks, Bryant now has three touchdowns in two games after hauling in 5-yard and 2-yard scores in the first half. LOTS OF LUCK: The third-year quarterback passed for 400 yards and three touchdowns, extending his streak of games with at least 300 yards passing to six, a new club record. Donte Moncrief caught seven passes for 113 yards and a score and T.Y. Hilton grabbed six passes for 155 yards and a touchdown. Still, he’ll think about the pick-six he threw to Pittsburgh’s William Gay and the ill-fated pass from his backside that will stick with him. “Just a bonehead play by me,” Luck said. BACK TO EARTH: The Colts’ defense came in rolling after shutting out Cincinnati and limiting the Bengals to 135 yards. The Steelers topped that total by the end of the first quarter as Indianapolis struggled to generate any pass rush and Pittsburgh receivers ran wide open through the Colts’ secondary. “We’ve shown everybody what we can do so the expectations are high,” safety Mike Adams said. “So to take a step back like this is tough.” STAYING AGGRESSIVE: Tomlin and offensive coordinator Todd Haley have taken an aggressive tack in recent weeks searching for a spark. They found it on four-and-1 at the Indianapolis 11 with just over 5 minutes to go. Rather than kick a field goal, the offense stayed on the field and Roethlisberger found Miller in the back of the end zone for the clincher. “We are not going to take our foot off the gas,” Tomlin said. HURTING: Indianapolis lost cornerback Vontae Davis (knee) and linebacker Erik Walden (hip flexor). They will be reevaluated on Monday. The Steelers didn’t sustain any significant injuries, though tackle Marcus Gilbert missed the game with a concussion and nose tackle Steve McLendon missed his second straight contest with a shoulder injury.

Bengals Beat Ravens 27-24 Andy Dalton made up for his two second-half turnovers by scoring on a 1-yard sneak with 57 seconds left on Sunday, rallying the Cincinnati Bengals to a 27-24 victory over the Baltimore Ravens that tightened the AFC North race. The Bengals (4-2-1) wasted an 11-point lead as Dalton’s fumble and interception helped the Ravens (5-3) pull ahead 24-20 with 3:59 left. That’s when Dalton pulled it out against the NFL’s stingiest defense. He threw a 53-yard pass to Mohamed Sanu on third-and-10 — safety Terrence Brooks got turned around — and took it the final yard on fourth down, completing a 10-play, 80-yard drive. The Ravens appeared to regain the lead when Steve Smith Sr. caught a pass and went 80 yards to the end zone with 32 seconds left, but the receiver was called for pushing off to get open. LIONS 22, FALCONS 21 LONDON (AP) — Matt Prater kicked a 48-yard field goal on the last play of the game Sunday, lifting the Lions after trailing by 21 points. Prater capped a second straight late winning drive for the Lions (6-2), who also rallied to beat the Saints last week. It was the first field goal the Lions made from 40-49 yards all season.

Matt Ryan led the Falcons (2-6) with 228 yards passing and two touchdowns, but clock management problems, a penalty and a dropped pass doomed the Falcons at the end. The blown halftime lead tied the biggest in Atlanta history. CARDINALS 24, EAGLES 20 GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Carson Palmer lofted a 75-yard touchdown pass to rookie John Brown with 1:21 to play to give Arizona a stunning victory in a matchup of two of the NFL’s four one-loss teams entering this week. The Cardinals (6-1) had a goal-line stand that forced the Eagles (5-2) to settle for a 20-yard field goal that put Philadelphia up 20-17 with 1:56 left. Then on thirdand-5, Palmer — who also had an 80-yard TD pass to Larry Fitzgerald — heaved the ball deep, where the speedy Brown gathered it in and crossed the goal line just as he was being tackled. The Eagles drove to the Arizona 16. On the last play, Jordan Matthews caught a pass from Nick Foles in the end zone but landed out of bounds. SEAHAWKS 13, PANTHERS 9 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Russell Wilson threw a 23-yard touchdown pass to Luke Willson with 47 seconds left. It’s the third straight year Wilson has brought the Seahawks (4-3) back from a second-half deficit to beat the Panthers on the road. In the previous two seasons, Wilson threw second-half TD passes to Jermaine Kearse and Golden Tate in tight defensive games. Carolina’s defense, which had allowed at least 37 points in four of its previous five games, held the Seahawks in check before Wilson led a nine-play, 80-yard drive for the only touchdown. Wilson finished 20 of 32 for 199 yards with one interception and one touchdown. Cam Newton was 12 of 27 for 121 yards with an interception and a fumble for the Panthers (3-4-1). SAINTS 44, PACKERS 23 NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Drew Brees completed 27 of 32 passes for 311 yards and three touchdowns, and the Saints ended the Packers’ fourgame winning streak. Rookie receiver Brandin Cooks had a 50-yard touchdown catch and a 4-yard scoring run, and tight end Jimmy Graham also caught a touchdown pass to help the Saints (3-4) pull even in victories with Carolina (3-4-1). That sets up a showdown to decide first place in the NFC South on Thursday night. Aaron Rodgers, intercepted only once in Green Bay’s first seven games, was picked off twice on deflected and sacked three times. He still passed for 418 yards, including a 70-yard touchdown pass to Randall Cobb, but it was not nearly enough to prevent the Packers (5-3) from falling a game behind NFC North leader Detroit. PATRIOTS 51, BEARS 23 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Tom Brady threw five scoring passes and the streaking Patriots crammed three touchdowns into the last two minutes of the first half. New England (6-2) scored on all five of its possessions in the half — and one of Chicago’s — on its way to its fourth straight win. The Bears (3-5) fell behind 45-7 early in the second half and lost for the fourth time in five games. In one of the best statistical games of his brilliant career, Brady completed 30 of 35 passes for 354 yards. He threw three scoring passes to Rob Gronkowski and one each to Tim Wright and Brandon LaFell. Defensive end Rob Ninkovich scored with 55 seconds left in the first half on a 15-yard return of Jay Cutler’s fumble. VIKINGS 19, BUCCANEERS 13, OT TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Anthony Barr forced a fumble on the first play of overtime and returned it 27 yards to score. The stunning end came just 17 seconds after the Vikings (3-5) extended the game on Blair Walsh’s 38-yard field goal on the final play of regulation. Teddy Bridgewater threw for 241 yards, one TD and no interceptions to help Minnesota stop a three-game skid. Mike Glennon threw a 7-yard scoring pass to Austin Seferian-Jenkins to give Tampa Bay (1-6) a 13-10 lead with 2:02 remaining. But the Bucs’ porous defense couldn’t stop Bridgewater from putting together a nine-play, 61-yard march to get the game into OT. Glennon’s pass to SeferianJenkins gained 10 yards before Barr stripped the ball from the rookie tight end and took it up the left sideline to score. CHIEFS 34, RAMS 7 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jamaal Charles ran for two touchdowns, Knile Davis returned a kick 99 yards for another score and the Chiefs trounced their cross-state rival. Cairo Santos added a pair of field goals for Kansas City (4-3), including a career-best 53-yarder. Alex Smith was 24 of 28 for 226 yards, while Davis capped a run of 34 unanswered points with a short touchdown run late in the fourth quarter. Justin Houston had three of the Chiefs’ seven sacks. The banged-up Rams (2-5) lost their sixth straight to Kansas City dating to Sept. 25, 1994, when they were still in Los Angeles. Austin Davis threw for 160 yards with a touchdown and a pick.

(AP) — Rookie Blake Bortles had two interceptions returned for touchdowns, costly mistakes that helped the Dolphins win. Louis Delmas (81 yards) and Brent Grimes (22 yards) scored on the turnovers for the Dolphins (4-3), who won consecutive games for the first time this season. Ryan Tannehill’s 3-yard pass to Rishard Matthews made it 24-6 late in the third quarter and gave the Dolphins a comfortable cushion in a game they could have easily trailed by double digits. The Jaguars (1-7) dominated the first half, but trailed 10-3 at the break because of miscues. Bortles was the culprit, continuing a trend that started when © 2014he took over the starting job last month. Bortles had three turnovers Sunday, giving him six in the last two weeks and 13 in six games. Four of those have been interceptions returned for touchdowns. BILLS 43, JETS 23 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Kyle Orton threw four touchdown passes and the Bills forced six turnovers, three each by Geno Smith and Michael Vick. Orton won for the third time in four games since replacing EJ Manuel as the starting quarterback for the Bills (5-3), tossing TD passes to Robert Woods, Lee Smith, Scott Chandler and Sammy Watkins against the listless Jets (1-7). Stephon Gilmore, Preston Brown, Aaron Williams and Da’Norris Searcy had interceptions for the Bills. The Jets have lost seven straight for the first time since 2005, in Herm Edwards’ final season as coach. Geno Smith interceptions on three consecutive possessions in the first quarter and was pulled in favor of Vick, who was picked off once and lost two fumbles. Continued from page B2 BROWNS 23, RAIDERS 13 CLEVELAND (AP) — Brian Hoyer threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Andrew Hawkins early in the fourth quarter and the Browns avoided a second straight embarrassing loss. Hoyer’s TD to Hawkins put the Browns (4-3) ahead 16-6, shortly after Cleveland’s defense came to the rescue. Safety Donte Whitner forced a fumble late in the third quarter with a huge hit on Oakland running back Darren McFadden as the Raiders (0-7) were driving deep into Cleveland territory. Cleveland lost at Jacksonville last week, giving the Jaguars their first win. According to STATS, no team in NFL history has lost consecutive games to winless teams in Week 7 or later. It was hardly a perfect performance, but the Browns, who were held to 39 yards rushing and converted only 2 of 12 third downs, will take it. TEXANS 30, TITANS 16 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Arian Foster ran for 151 yards and two touchdowns and also caught a pass for a score in the franchise’s 200th game. The Texans (4-4) also snapped a threegame skid as Foster topped 100 yards rushing in his fourth straight game. J.J. Watt had two sacks and forced a fumble as the Texans beat the team they replaced in Houston for the fourth time in five games. Texans linebacker Jadeveon Clowney played for the first time since hurting his knee in the season opener. Clowney finished with one tackle. Rookie Zach Mettenberger turned over the ball twice in his first start, and he also threw for 299 yards and two touchdowns. The Titans (2-6) go into their bye having lost two straight.

Goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa was killed around 8 p.m. after two gunmen entered a house in Vosloorus township near Johannesburg while an accomplice of theirs waited outside. The 27-yearold Meyiwa was shot in the upper body, police spokesman Brig. Neville Malila said Monday. Tumelo Waka Madlala, a friend of Meyiwa’s who said he was at the house during the attempted robbery, said the goalkeeper was shot while trying to stop the intruders, who had demanded cellphones and money from people inside the home. “As they were running away we tried to stop them and that is when they shot him at point blank range,” Madlala told The Associated Press. The house belonged to Meyiwa’s girlfriend Kelly Khumalo, a South African singer and celebrity, witnesses said. There were seven people in the house before the intruders entered, according to police. No one else was hurt. South Africa’s police force offered a reward of nearly $23,000 for information leading to arrests in the death of the captain of the country’s most popular national sports team. Meyiwa also played for the Orlando Pirates, one of South Africa’s biggest clubs. National soccer team coach Ephraim Mashaba wiped away tears at a news conference in Johannesburg as he spoke about Meyiwa, who had recently been made South Africa captain and led the team in four African Cup of Nations qualifiers this year. He hadn’t conceded a goal in the four games. “Most of the time, these things come when you least expect,” coach Mashaba said, tears running down his cheeks. “We’re going to miss Senzo a lot ... never mind his saving goals.” South African police announced late Sunday on their Twitter account that Meyiwa had been shot and killed, adding it was breaking protocol to announce his death soon after the shooting. Police also called for calm, saying “upset” people had gathered at the house and at the hospital where Meyiwa was confirmed dead. Police said he was shot after an “altercation” with the suspects and were treating the incident as an attempted robbery and had opened a murder case. South Africa has a high rate of violent crime, an issue that was raised during the recent trial of Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius, who claimed he shot and killed his girlfriend by accident in the pre-dawn hours of Feb. 14, 2013 after mistaking her for a dangerous intruder in his home. Orlando Pirates chairman Irvin Khoza called on football fans to help find the people responsible for killing Meyiwa. He said the club and Meyiwa’s teammates were “devastated” and were sobbing and crying when they gathered for training on Monday morning. “Senzo was a good man,” Khoza said. “24 hours cannot go past without knowing who killed Senzo ... We don’t want to speculate, we want to know who killed Senzo.” South African President Jacob Zuma also released a statement saying “words cannot express the nation’s shock at this loss.” “The law enforcement authorities must leave no stone unturned in finding his killers and bring them to justice,” Zuma said. Dean Furman, one of Meyiwa’s national teammates, wrote on Twitter: “Beyond devastated at the loss of our captain & friend Senzo Meyiwa. Thoughts & prayers are with his family & friends at this terrible time.” Meyiwa led the South Africa team in its last game, a 0-0 draw with Republic of Congo on Oct. 15 that kept it top of its group and on course to qualify for next year’s continental championship. He played for Orlando Pirates on Saturday in a 4-1 win over Ajax Cape Town in a cup competition. South Africa’s Premier Soccer League postponed this weekend’s derby game between Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs, the country’s two biggest clubs, out of respect for Meyiwa. Meyiwa’s killing was the second death to hit South African sport in three days after former 800-meter world champion and Olympic silver medalist Mbulaeni Mulaudzi was killed in a car crash on Friday. samoa news, Monday, October 27, 2014 Page B7 Veterans In Politics International United States Congress have agreed to wholly endorse and support Aumua Amata 2014 candidate for US Congress Representing American Samoa Steve Sanson – President Karen Steelmon – Auxiliary Director Jason Brooks - Nevada President October 22, 2014 Date The mission of Veterans In Politics is to educate, organize, and awaken our veterans and their families to select support and intelligently vote for those candidates whom would help create a better world, to protect ourselves from our own government(s) in a culture of corruption, and to be the political voice for those in other groups who do not have one.

Chen] Lee-Anne Pace wins Blue Bay LPGA HAINAN ISLAND, China (AP) — South Africa’s LeeAnne Pace won the rainshortened Blue Bay LPGA on Monday for her first LPGA Tour title and second worldwide victory in nine days. Four strokes ahead with five holes left when play was suspended Sunday because of darkness, Pace finished off a 5-under 67 for a three-stroke victory over Germany’s Caroline Masson. The 33-year-old Pace won the South African Women’s Open last week for her ninth Ladies European Tour victory. She’s the second South African-born champion in LPGA Tour history, joining 15-time winner Sally Little. The victory was her third in China, following the LET’s Sanya Ladies Open in 2010 & 2013. Pace made a 6-foot birdie putt on the par-5 18th to finish at 16-under 200 at Jian Lake Blue Bay. Masson birdied the final three holes for a 67. Michelle Wie and Jessica Korda tied for third at 11 under. Wie finished with a 70. She tied for fifth last week in South Korea in her first start since withdrawing from the Evian Championship in September after reinjuring her right hand. Korda, tied for the second-round lead with Pace, closed with a 72. Rain delayed play for nearly four hours Sunday with the leaders halfway through the round, leading to the Monday finish in the tournament cut from 72 to 54 holes after play was washed out Friday. The start Monday also was delayed by showers. The tournament was the fourth stop on the six-event Asian Swing. The LPGA Taiwan Championship is next week, followed by the Mizuno Classic in Japan. Royals head home trailing 3-2 in World Series C M Y K C M Y K SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — This is not the first time the Kansas City Royals have been in trouble this season. A .500 team after 100 games, the Royals turned it on down the stretch to earn their first playoff berth in 29 years. Down four runs in the eighth inning of the AL wildcard game, Kansas City rallied to force extra innings and then overcame another deficit in the 12th before beating the Oakland Athletics. Now, after being blanked 5-0 by San Francisco Giants ace Madison Bumgarner on Sunday night, the Royals find themselves on the brink of elimination again as they head home trailing 3-2 in the World Series. “We know we can do it,” first baseman Eric Hosmer said. “We’re a confident group. But we can’t do anything without winning Game 6. We’re excited to get back home where we feed off the fans and that energy.” The Royals have history on their side. Eight of the past 10 teams that headed home trailing 3-2 in the Series won it all. Kansas City is one of the teams that did it, rallying from a 3-1 deficit to beat St. Louis for the franchise’s only championship in 1985. One other factor in the Royals’ favor is that Bumgarner won’t be able to start again. The left-hander won two of the first five games, including a brilliant four-hitter Sunday that left Kansas City searching for answers. “He throws three, four pitches that are all plus and commands all of them well,” third baseman Mike Moustakas said. “Just when you think you figure something out, he does the exact opposite and messes with you. That’s how he is, that’s how he goes.” The Royals’ stay in San Francisco got off to a splendid start when they won 3-2 in Game 3 to take the lead in the Series and then went ahead 4-1 early in Game 4. That all unraveled quickly. They have been outscored 15-0 in the past 14 innings as the bats have gone silent and a once-dominant bullpen has shown some vulnerabilities. But Kansas City’s confidence has not waned. “I think the character in our clubhouse is at an alltime high,” said starter James Shields, who allowed two runs in six innings to take the loss in Game 5. “That’s what’s going to get us through the next two games. We’ve been here before late in the season when we had to get some wins late in September and we got it done. It’s no different.” In fact, the task is much less daunting than the one the Royals faced against Oakland, when they trailed Jon Lester 7-3 in the eighth inning. They scored three runs in the eighth, tied it with another in the ninth and then scored two in the 12th to win 9-8. That started a run of 10 postseason wins in 11 games that was brought to a sudden halt the past two nights in San Francisco. The Royals are hoping they can turn things around starting Tuesday night, when rookie Yordano Ventura pitches against Jake Peavy. A win would force a seventh game, with Jeremy Guthrie starting against Tim Hudson. Kansas City’s two wins in the Series came when those pitchers faced each other the first time. samoa news, Monday, October 27, 2014 Page B9 A fairly new organization, the American Samoa Handball Association was all smiles this past Saturday when they joined the rest of the territory in celebrating the International Day of the Girl [photo: B.

Page B10 samoa news, Monday, October 27, 2014 Kona Motorsport Park project picks up speed KAILUA-KONA, Hawaii (AP) — Mauka from the Kekaha Kai State Park entrance on Queen Kaahumanu Highway is land the Hawaii Racing Association believes is best suited for a motorsport park. Since 1994, this nonprofit, which claims 3,400 members, has worked toward making this proposed facility a reality in West Hawaii, including downsizing the planned layout from 600 acres to 250 acres today. Its backers say it will be a safe, legal and family-friendly place to partake in motorsport activities and driver training, and the grounds also could be used for concerts, carnivals, fairs and swap meets. The Kona Motorsport Park is a means to help boost the island’s economy, said Paul Maddox, Hawaii Racing Association president. Its critics have cited concerns about noise, lighting and potential negative effects on property values. Their criticism, time and time again, proves one person’s dream is another’s nightmare. In January, Hawaii Racing Association sent its members a questionnaire, which was used to determine the park’s desired features. An improving economy and continuing development growth in West Hawaii, as well as support expressed by Mayor Billy Kenoi and his administration, prompted the association to push for the project again, Maddox said. More parks and recreation facilities and opportunities are needed on the leeward side, he added. This isn’t the first time county officials have backed the project. Former mayor Harry Kim and former Kona councilman Curtis Tyler III were also proponents, Maddox said. An archive search found Tyler co-sponsored a resolution, passed by the council, supporting the construction of a race park in West Hawaii as long as it was in an area that didn’t impact existing or future development. The association’s chronology notes Kim pledged in 2005 county support to see the project through and the County Council adopted in 1999 a resolution supporting facilities for motorsports on the island. The current plan is to build the Kona Motorsport Park in three phases and turn it over to the county to be maintained as a public park, much like the Hilo dragstrip complex, Maddox said. Phase one includes club-built courses and trails for motorcycles and ATVs, motocross tracks for adults and keiki, off-road climbing and areas for radio controlled cars, mountain biking and bicycle motocross. Phase two includes a 20-acre multiuse area for concerts, car shows, fairs and other events, as well as courses for drifting, autocross and a driving school. Phase three has a quarter-mile dragstrip for racing, a professional go-kart track, and a 2-mile winding road course. This dream facility is estimated to cost at least $36 million, Maddox said. Earlier this year, Hawaii Racing Association sent approximately 1,600 letters about the project to residents, businesses and organizations within 3 miles of the proposed site, which is state land. The association received 25 letters in support of the project and 11 letters against it, Maddox said. Wednesday, Maddox said the proposed motorsport venue will be nothing like raceway parks on the mainland or the ones people are familiar with on television. He also acknowledged that sound is “the main concern and big gorilla in the room,” which is why the association is paying for a nearly $20,000 sound survey to be done now. After receiving a $10,000 deposit for a sound survey, Oahu’s D.L. Adams Associates engineers took sound samples at the Hilo drag races and motocross, as well as ambient sound levels at the proposed motorsport park location and surrounding areas. With computer modeling, they will simulate the sound of the Hilo races over the proposed 250-acre motorsport park lava terrain and up to 3 miles away. Besides revealing how the sound travels at that location, they will also share ways on how sound can be mitigated, if necessary, Maddox said. Having worked on numerous federal, state and county projects in Hawaii, these engineers are very familiar with lava and its ability to absorb sound, he added. Sound survey results will be made public on the association’s website and will indicate whether or not the facility is practical, Maddox said. “If it fails, and there’s nothing that can be done to appease those upcountry with concerns, then we’ll abandoned the project in that location,” he added. The area mauka of Kekaha Kai State Beach Park has been deemed the ideal site for the Kona Motorsport Park since 1998, when the mayor’s office, via the state Department of Land and Natural Resources, suggested it as a possibility. Lava from Hawaii volcano makes steady advance Officials say molten lava from a Hawaii volcano has been flowing steadily in an area where residents have been warned they might have to evacuate their homes. Dozens of residents in the flow path have been told to complete all necessary preparations by Tuesday for a possible evacuation. The timeline could change, based on the flow rate. The Red Cross said it was opening a shelter to aide any evacuees. Authorities on Sunday said lava flow on the Big Island of Hawaii had advanced hundreds of yards since Saturday morning and was moving at the rate of about 10 to 15 yards an hour, consistent with its advancement in recent days. Kilauea volcano has been erupting continuously since 1983. Most lava from this eruption has flowed south. But the lava has flowed to the northeast over the past two years. The current flow that has been threatening Pahoa began in June. It’s been moving toward town in fits and starts for weeks, speeding up and then slowing down. The flow front passed through a predominantly Buddhist cemetery, covering grave sites in the mostly rural region of Puna, and was roughly a half-mile from Pahoa Village Road, the main street of Pahoa. Darryl Oliveira, director of civil defense for Hawaii County, told reporters during a late Sunday morning teleconference that the nearest home was at least 300 yards from the flow front. He planned to get better coordinates during a flight later in the day. Residents in the nearest home said they could see the flow front from their balcony and were prepared to evacuate when the time came, Oliveira said. Oliveira estimated there were at least 50 to 60 structures, including homes and businesses, in the area most likely to be impacted. Authorities went door-to-door, notifying residents Saturday of the need to be ready to evacuate. The vast majority of residents contacted had identified places where they could go, with “less than a handful” saying they may need to go to a shelter, he said. As the lava moved through the cemetery, Oliveira said a monument was visible, protruding through the molten mass. Janet Babb, a geologist and spokeswoman for the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, said methane explosions also have been going off. She said decomposing vegetation produces methane gas that can travel subsurface beyond the lava front in different directions, accumulating in pockets that can ignite. She said it was a bit unnerving to hear all the blasts on Saturday. One passed near where she and others were standing. “At the time that it happened, it was such a rumble I thought it was thunder and that we were about to be struck by lightning,” she said. Election officials prepare for lava flow threat HONOLULU (AP) — Officials are hoping to avoid disruptions in next month’s elections from an advancing lava flow in a mostly rural region on the Big Island of Hawaii. In August, Tropical Storm Iselle kept some voters in the Puna region from during the polls primary election, and there was subsequent confusion about how they could cast their ballots. Now, a lava flow threatens to isolate some voters ahead of the Nov. 4 general election. Hawaii County clerk Stewart Maeda told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser (http://bit. ly/1DgokP4) the county would wait for an assessment of the lava flow Monday before publicly announcing any revised election plans. “We don’t want to create confusion, but we want to give notice as early as possible if the potential appears that Highway 130 will be impacted by Election Day,” he said. Preparations already have been made. In September, voters in three Puna precincts received absentee ballot applications in case they had to flee, and a special early voting walkin site opened last week at Nanawale Estates Community Center in Pahoa. “Everything they can do to get people to vote now is good, and I think they’ve worked hard to do that,” said David Tarnas, chairman of Hawaii County Democrats, who was critical of elections officials after the storm. He said he commended elections officials for their efforts. State Sen. Russell Ruderman, D-Puna, said if the lava hits Highway 130 by Election Day, voters may still be able to reach their precincts or consolidated precincts from emergency access roads. “I don’t think we’re going to have people isolated, physically unable to vote like we did during Iselle,” he said. “But it’s going to be tremendously inconvenient. And, once again, it will result in a differential on whether you can vote, and how easily you can vote, based on where your precinct is.” Ruderman, who called for the firing of the state’s chief election officer after Iselle, would have preferred an all-mail election for the Puna precincts in November. He is frustrated with preparations thus far. “My opinion of the Office of Elections’ responsiveness is something you couldn’t print,” he said. Guam crafter named master carver HAGATNA, Guam (AP) — A woman who has created and carved cultural art for more than 22 years on Tuesday was honored with the title “Sainan Minehalom ManlasgueAdotnon I Tatåotao,” or Master Carver-Body Ornamentation. The Guam Council on the Arts and Humanities Agency on Oct. 21 gave Julie “Jill” Quichocho Benavente the title during a surprise ceremony at the Saggan Kotturan Chamorro in Tumon. The title of Guam Master was created under local law to recognize master practitioners who preserve the island’s history and cultural traditions. Benavente carves fine jewelry from local materials such as giant clam, spondylus, stone, cow bone, wild boar tusks, deer horn and more. Benavente believed yesterday’s ceremony was being held for the upcoming Festival of the Pacific Arts, which Guam is hosting in 2016. Holding back tears, she accepted the award and thanked everyone who made it possible. After the ceremony she said the title is an honor, but it won’t change what she does every day. She said the focus now is to get ready for the festival in 2016. Benavente said it is important for other young Chamorros to find someone to learn from so that the culture can continue to live on. As a traditional Chamorro jewelry artist, Benavente gradually established herself in the male-dominated art form in the 1990s, according to a biography from CAHA. She had a difficult time being accepted, which helped her develop her own processes and style as an artist. She started doing basic latte design, the iconic symbols of the Chamorro people, and then gradually designed unique pieces. Her signature piece is the “Hima Gualafon,” or full moon, necklace worn by many women active in the cultural perpetuation movement. Her work has been showcased at numerous exhibits and events and she has been a steadfast participant and advocate of Chamorro cultural renaissance. samoa news, Monday, October 27, 2014 Page B11 LIMA FESOASOANI QUICK FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS PO Box 308 Pago Pago, AS 96799 Tel: (684) 699-3848 or 633-3848 Fax: (684) 699-3849 or 633-3849 E-mail: [email protected] The following account holders are encouraged to visit or contact our Collection Representative, Masi Manila at 699-3848 or at our Tafuna Office regarding your delinquent account.

ByWalls Rob Lee Happy Birthday: Let your imagination run wild. Creativity coupled with excellent timing will help you gain ground this year. Don’t let the changes going on around you deter your plans. It’s important to follow your gut feeling and build the future that will bring you the greatest satisfaction. Don’t let anyone bully or manipulate you to take on responsibilities that don’t belong to you. Your numbers are 3, 13, 19, 21, 23, 35, 48. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take control and do your thing. You’ve got what it takes to dazzle your peers and superiors. Let your intelligence and cooperative attitude shine through, and your desire to advance will come to fruition. ✸✸✸✸✸ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Moneymaking ventures will pay off if you act fast, but don’t go over budget. Keep your deals simple and interesting. A career opportunity will lead to good fortune. Use your charm and know-how to promote a skill you have to offer. ✸✸✸ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Focus on happiness and self-improvement. Expand your interests and make your surroundings conducive to pursuing your goals. Share personal thoughts and make plans that will enforce greater incentives. Don’t mix business with pleasure. ✸✸✸ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Networking will pay off, so don’t sit at home when you should be mingling. Love is in the stars, and discussing plans with someone you think is special will help you build a relationship based on goals you share. ✸✸✸ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Stick to your plans and use intelligence when dealing with family or your lover. Taking in lighthearted entertainment or engaging in an activity that will challenge you physically or take you to an unfamiliar destination will broaden your horizons. ✸✸✸✸✸ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Invest in your skills, your home and your future. Don’t be too eager to make a decision or give in to someone else’s plans. Stay on course and use your experience to fine-tune your next move. Keep your emotions well hidden. ✸✸ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Speak from the heart and listen to the suggestions offered, but don’t act in haste. You have time to mull over the information you gather and shouldn’t feel pressured by anyone giving you an ultimatum. A past experience will prove to be a lifesaver. ✸✸✸✸ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are on the right track, so don’t let anyone convince you otherwise. Keep your dreams intact and your vision clear. Taking a route that is unusual or unorthodox will end up being in your best interest. ✸✸✸ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You need a pick-me-up. Renovate, redecorate or take a day trip that will help lift your spirits. Emotional matters can sway either way depending on the company you keep. Make plans to have fun with someone who makes you smile. ✸✸✸ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You will face opposition concerning matters that deal with educational, financial, legal or medical institutions. Ask for any promise in writing. A lastminute change must be handled cautiously. Don’t be afraid to pull out of a deal if it doesn’t feel right. ✸✸✸ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Think before you act. Someone will try to goad you into doing something by not giving you enough time to consider the pros and cons. Believe in your abilities and opt to go it alone if you feel uncomfortable. ✸✸✸✸ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You will come in to money or find a way to raise your income if you are patient and pay attention to the circumstances. Love is in the stars, and a promise made will lead to greater happiness. ✸✸ Birthday Baby: You are engaging, intense and imaginative. You are strong-willed and unpredictable. Dear Abby by Abigail Van Buren HAUNTED-HOUSE DECOR CAUSES FRIGHT FOR NEIGHBORHOOD KIDS DEAR ABBY: We have a neighbor who “decorates” his yard for Halloween in the worst way imaginable. Every year it becomes more macabre. He has “bodies” hanging from tree limbs, gravestones with RIP on dirt mounds and other unbelievable atrocities. He thinks it’s funny. It is despicable and it scares the children who must walk past his yard. When we ask him not to put such deplorable items in our neighborhood, he doesn’t take it seriously. I’m thinking about taking up a collection and bribing him not to put his growing, vulgar display up this year. What can we do? -- SPOOKED IN TOPEKA DEAR SPOOKED: What you’re describing is a feature of Halloween that many children enjoy. However, you can’t “protect” your children forever. When they’re old enough to understand, explain to them that this is all done in the spirit of fun, and it’s not real or dangerous. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • DEAR ABBY: When my husband and I were 18, we decided to have each other’s initials tattooed on our ring fingers. His tattoo included the initial that one day became my last name. It’s been 10 years and our marriage is still solid and beautiful. I have worked hard at a nursing career, but I feel self-conscious about my tattoo, although I now wear rings as well. I still like my tattoo, but I don’t want people judging me because of it. My husband says I’ll only hurt myself if I remove something I love having. Do I express my love the way I wish or succumb to nasty stares from patients? -- INKED FOR LOVE DEAR INKED FOR LOVE: I agree with your husband. You are entitled to express your love any way you wish. Many professional people sport tattoos that are far more flamboyant than the one you have. If you catch a patient staring, smile and share the story behind it. I think it is sweet and rather charming. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • DEAR ABBY: I am friends with two women who dislike each other. Neither one has family, so I usually invite them over for holiday dinners. Over the past 10 years they have tolerated each other and been cordial. But this summer they had a big row, and the divide is even wider. I love them both, but how do I now handle Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, knowing how they feel about each other? Should I extend the usual invitation and hope for the best? Or should I not invite either of them to avoid the possible conflict? I will not take sides. I think both of them are being petty and childish, but I also don’t know what to do. My family is quite large, and these two have always blended in nicely. -- IN THE MIDDLE DEAR IN THE MIDDLE: Because you feel that having them together in the same room would cause tension for you, my advice is to have them over on alternate holidays. samoa news, Monday, October 27, 2014 Page B15 Page B16 samoa news, Monday, October 27, 2014 C M Y K C M Y K
