TODAY
DEAR ABBY
Today is Monday, June 21, the
172nd day of 2021. There are
193 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On June 21, 1964, civil rights
workers Michael H. Schwerner,
Andrew Goodman and James E.
Chaney were slain in Philadelphia,
Mississippi; their bodies were
found buried in an earthen dam
six weeks later. (Forty-one years
later on this date, in 2005, Edgar
Ray Killen, an 80-year-old former
Ku Klux Klansman, was found
guilty of manslaughter; he was
sentenced to 60 years in prison,
where he died in January 2018.)
In 1788, the United States Con-
stitution went into effect as New
Hampshire became the ninth
state to ratify it.
In 1942, German forces led by
Generaloberst (Colonel General)
Erwin Rommel captured the Lib-
yan city of Tobruk during World
War II. (Rommel was promoted
to the rank of Field Marshal; To-
bruk was retaken by the Allies in
November 1942.)
In 1954, the American Cancer
Society presented a study to the
American Medical Association
meeting in San Francisco which
found that men who regularly
smoked cigarettes died at a
considerably higher rate than
non-smokers.
In 1963, Cardinal Giovanni Bat-
tista Montini was chosen during
a conclave of his fellow cardinals
to succeed the late Pope John
XXIII; the new pope took the
name Paul VI.
In 1977, Menachem Begin of the
Likud bloc became Israel’s sixth
prime minister.
In 1982, a jury in Washington,
D.C., found John Hinckley Jr. not
guilty by reason of insanity in
the shootings of President Ron-
ald Reagan and three others.
In 1989, a sharply divided Su-
preme Court ruled that burning
the American flag as a form of
political protest was protected
by the First Amendment.
In 1997, the WNBA made its
debut as the New York Liberty
defeated the host Los Angeles
Sparks 67-57.
In 2002, one of the worst wild-
fires in Arizona history grew to
128,000 acres, forcing thousands
of homeowners near the com-
munity of Show Low to flee.
In 2010, Faisal Shahzad, a Paki-
stan-born U.S. citizen, pleaded
guilty to charges of plotting a
failed car bombing in New York’s
Times Square. (Shahzad was lat-
er sentenced to life in prison.)
Ten years ago: The Food and
Drug Administration announced
that cigarette packs in the U.S.
would have to carry macabre
images that included rotting
teeth and gums, diseased lungs
and a sewn-up corpse of a smok-
er as part of a graphic campaign
aimed at discouraging Amer-
icans from lighting up. Amid
street protests, Greek Prime
Minister George Papandreou
survived a confidence vote.
Five years ago: North Korea
fired two suspected powerful
new Musudan midrange ballistic
missiles, according to U.S. and
South Korean military officials.
One year ago: An initially
peaceful protest in Portland,
Oregon, against racial injustice
turned violent, as police used
flash-bang grenades to disperse
demonstrators throwing bot-
tles, cans and rocks at sheriff’s
deputies. Spectators in Raleigh,
North Carolina, cheered as work
crews finished the job started
by protesters and removed a
Confederate statue from atop a
75-foot monument.

Dear Abby: I think you
missed an important con-
sideration in your March 25
advice to the widower who
had had prostate surgery and
was afraid to tell a prospec-
tive girlfriend he couldn’t
have sex.
My husband and I are in
our 60s and he has a similar
condition. But we have be-
come creative, and our sex
life is better than it was when
we were younger. Penetration
is not the only way to share
sexual intimacy. In fact, it’s
overrated.
The only limitation on
lifelong sexual satisfaction is
your own imagination and in-
ventiveness. Yes, “Going For-
ward in Virginia” may want
to settle for a sexless compan-
ionship with his new love, but
he sure doesn’t have to.
— Know in West Virginia
Dear Knows: Many readers
wrote to me expressing your
sentiments. Others shared
possible medical solutions for
dealing with impotence. De-
spite the intimate nature of
the topic, they were generous
in offering support to “Going
Forward.” Read on:
Dear Abby: “Going For-
ward” should consult a urol-
ogist about his condition.
Specifically, he should ask the
urologist if a prescription for
Tri-Mix would be appropriate.
It’s a compound of three com-
ponents that enables an indi-
vidual with ED resulting from
a prostatectomy to engage in
normal sexual relations. It’s de-
livered via a self-administered
injection. The urologist will in-
struct “GF” how to do it.
I had a prostatectomy 12
years ago and experienced
ED as a result. I have been
using Tri-Mix since then,
and I’m happy to say I have
continued to enjoy a normal
physical relationship with my
wife.
— Tom in Florida
Dear Abby: An inflatable
implant may be the answer
for “Going Forward.” If he
is in generally good health,
he may be a good candidate
for this procedure, which is
not considered major sur-
gery and is covered by some
insurance policies, including
Medicare. The implant is the
greatest thing since sliced
bread. My wife and I know
because I have one. There is
some pain during recovery,
but it is SO worth it. “Go-
ing Forward” should have a
conversation with his doctor,
who should have already told
him about this option.
— Testifying in South Carolina
Dear Abby: I have a friend
who insists on bringing food
whenever I invite her over
for an event (birthday party,
Thanksgiving, etc.). It doesn’t
matter what she cooks, Abby,
it’s always awful. Everyone
tries whatever it is she made,
but then spits it out. I don’t
want to hurt her feelings,
but I don’t want her to bring
anything ever again that isn’t
store-bought. How can I tell
her tactfully?
— Repulsed in Virginia
Dear Repulsed: Tell your
generous friend that you ap-
preciate the thought behind
what she has been doing, but
when you invite guests over
YOUR MENU IS ALREADY
SET. She is the kind of “help-
ful” guest who should be
“commissioned” to bring a
store-bought beverage, din-
ner rolls or napkins.

Oregon triple-homicide suspect
turns himself in 5 states away
Associated Press
A man sought in the kill-
ings of his father and two other
people in North Bend forced
a woman to drive him more
than 2,000 miles from Oregon
to Wisconsin, where he surren-
dered to police, authorities said
Sunday.
Oen Evan Nicholson ap-
proached Laura Johnson, 34, af-
ter she returned to her parking
spot during a her lunch break
on Friday in Springfield and
forced her to drive him in her
car, police said. Authorities were
notified Sunday morning that
Nicholson had surrendered to
police peacefully in Milwaukee
but did not release details about
how he gave himself up.
Johnson was not hurt and
was returning to Oregon,
Springfield Police said in a
statement.
“He approached her in her
vehicle with a gun,” Johnson’s
father, Dennis Johnson, said.
“They said she was forced to
drive 33 hours to where they’re
at. She was able to talk him
into turning himself in.”
Nicholson is suspected
of killing his father, Charles
Simms Nicholson, whose body
was found in a trailer in an RV
campground of The Mill Ca-
sino in the coastal city of North
Bend, about 110 miles south-
west of Springfield, on Friday.
While driving his father’s
pickup, Nicholson is suspected
of hitting and killing Anthony
Oyster, 74, at the campground
and critically injuring his wife,
Linda Oyster, 73, Coos County
District Attorney R. Paul Fra-
sier said.
Shortly after, Nicholson is
also suspected of shooting and
killing resident Jennifer L. Da-
vidson, 47, at a marijuana dis-
pensary in North Bend, Frasier
Coos County District Attorney’s Office
Law enforcement officials suspect this man killed three people in
North Bend on Friday.
said.
The pickup was found Fri-
day crashed and burned about
30 miles west of Springfield.
A witness reported an armed
man got out and ran into the
woods, prompting a unsuc-
cessful search, police said.
Nicholson was charged
with first-degree murder in
the deaths of his father, Oyster
and Davidson as well as sec-
ond-degree attempted murder,
first-degree assault and failing
to help a person injured in a
traffic accident, Frasier said.
Nicholson will appear in
court in Milwaukee in the
coming days before returning
to Oregon to face the charges,
Fraiser said. It was not clear if
Nicholson has a lawyer who
could speak on his behalf.
Nicholson was previously
a resident of California but is
believed to have been living in
the North Bend area since at
least October, Frasier said.
