Start building that nest egg early

BY STEPHANIE GROVES
DHI Media Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS - When people are in their
20s, retirement is one of the last things on
their minds; however, its a smart financial
move for people to begin investing as soon
as they finish college to take advantage of
the benefits of compounding interest year
after year.
According to CNN Money, if a 25-yearold starts setting aside $1,000 a year about
$19 a week and places it in a retirement
account earning 8 percent a year for 10 years,

the total investment will have grown to nearly
$169,000 by the time they reach 65 and are
ready to retire.
If a 35-year-old starts investing $1,000
a year at 8 percent until they reached 65,
the result is close to $125,000. So, even
though three times as much money was
invested, it yielded $44,000 less than if
their saving would have begun 10 years
earlier.
Retail Lending Manager and Vice
President of First Federal Bank Elaine Evans
said people frequently ask how much money
2 arrested in
Venedocia
drug search
they should save for retirement.

Generally speaking, as much as possible, she said. People need to build a fund
that they can draw on for much of their retirement income. Believe it or not, this may be
possible if they start early and make smart
choices.
Evans said people should contribute as
much as they can to tax-advantaged savings
vehicles including 401(k)s, IRAs and annuities.
Its good to round out a retirement portfolio with other investments such as stocks,
bonds and mutual funds, Evans said. As
people are planning and saving, they should

keep in mind they may have 30 or more
years of retirement to fund. People probably need an even bigger nest egg than they
think.
Before investing in a mutual fund, investors should carefully consider its investment
objectives, risks, fees and expenses, which
are contained in the prospectus available from
the fund. They should carefully review the
prospectus, including the discussion of fund
classes and fees and how they apply.

The Dog who saved me by Susan Wilson
Boston police officer Cooper Harrison never thought hed
go back to his hometown, Harmony Farms. But when his
faithful K-9 partner Argos is killed in the line
of duty, Cooper, caught in a spiral of trauma
and grief, has nowhere else to turn. Jobless and
on the verge of divorce, he accepts an offer for
the position of dog officer in Harmony Farms,
leaving the life he spent 20 years building
behind. He finds himself back where he started.
Where his father was once known as the town
drunk and his brother outgrew juvenile delinquency to become a drug dealer. Where he grew
up as one of those Harrisons, Cooper does his
job with deliberate detachment, refusing to get
emotionally invested in another dog the way he
had with Argosuntil he finds himself rescuing a
wounded and gun-shy yellow lab gone feral.
Cooper never thought hed find himself going
back in order to move forward, and yet Harmony Farms is the
one place where Cooper must learn to forgive and, only then,
heal, all with the help of a yellow dog.
The Blue and the Grey: A Grand & Batchelor Victorian
mystery by M.J. Trow
April, 1865. Having been an eye witness to the assassination of President Lincoln, Matthew Grand, a former captain
of the 3rd Cavalry of the Potomac, has come to London on an
undercover assignment to hunt down the last of the assassins
co-conspirators. Ambitious young journalist Jim Batchelor
has been charged with writing a feature article on the visiting
American, with the aim of getting the inside story on the
assassination. Both men are distracted from their missions
by the discovery of a body behind the Haymarket Theatre
in Londons Soho district. Its the latest in a series of grisly
garrotings by a killer known as the Haymarket Strangler. As
Grand and Batchelor team up to pursue their investigations
through the dark underbelly of Victorian London, it becomes
clear that there may be a disturbing connection between the
assassination
of Abraham Lincoln and the Haymarket

Washingtons Circle: the creation of the president by
David Heidler
In 1789, as George Washington became the first president
of the United States, the world was all but certain that the
American experiment in liberty and representative government would founder. More than a few Americans feared
that the world was right. In Washingtons Circle, we see
how Washington and his trusted advisers, close friends, and
devoted family defied the doomsayers to lay the foundation
for an enduring constitutional republic. This is a fresh look
at an aloof man whose service in the Revolutionary War had
already earned him the acclaim of fellow citizens. Washington
was easy to revere, if difficult to know. Washingtons character is revealed through his relationship with his inner circle,
showing how this unlikely group created the office of the
presidency. Here is a story of cooperation, confrontation,
triumph, and disappointment, as the president,
Congress, and the courts sorted out the limits
of executive power, quarreled over funding the
government, coped with domestic strife, and
faced a world at war while trying to keep their
country at peace. Even more, it is a story of
remarkable people striving for extraordinary
achievements.

Betty Bunny loves Easter by Michael Kaplan
No bunny does an Easter egg hunt quite like Betty Bunny!
For fans of Ladybug Girl and Fancy Nancy, check out the lovable handful from the creator of Disneys T.V. series Dog with
a Blog. Yes, Betty Bunny loves Easter. She loves it so much
that she just knows when she grows up, she will be the Easter
Bunny. So it comes as quite a shock when she learns that her
brothers and sister have been helping her in the egg hunt every
year. Determined to find eggs on her own, this time, Betty
Bunny also finds out a thing or two about the satisfaction of
accomplishment. Going it alone, Betty Bunny strikes again in
the latest in her series, a funny Easter tale of independence.

The Promise Of Easter
It is no coincidence that the celebration of Easter takes place each year in early
spring, commemorating the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. For
Easter is a celebration of rebirth, and what better time to celebrate this than when
the earth is springing back into life. The new life of spring reminds us that this
world is eternally productive and creative. The apparent lifelessness of winter is
only an illusion. Sleeping just beneath the surface, is life and more life, awaiting
Gods gentle touch to reawaken it. In the same way, Easter reminds us that the
death of our bodies is an illusion. Beneath it is life and more life. The Bible tells
us that God so loved the world that He gave us His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. We will one day shed
our bodies, as the trees shed their leaves and snakes shed their skins, and we will
be reborn into life everlasting.And I give them eternal life, and they shall never
perish neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
New K.J.V. John 10:28
Our local churches invite you to join them for their activities and services.

Frank the Tank, stenographer

central: Welcome to Wisconsin
Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS Frank the Tank
takes credit for Captain America.
Nigel Burgundy is not at the Final
Four this year for Wisconsin. But his
alter ego, forward Nigel Hayes, is
and hes brought with him a newfound obsession for stenography.
Welcome to fun-loving
Wisconsin, which has a cast of
characters that sounds as if it
is straight out of a Will Ferrell
movie.
But once coach Bo Ryan
whistles practice into session, its
all business for the Badgers.
Believe me, when they get on the
practice court, theyre looking at film,
theyre playing in the games, Ryan
said before practice Thursday. They
understand what competition is about.
The chemistry has developed over
two seasons into one of the best teams
in the country. Wisconsin has returned
to the national semifinals with largely
the same roster, led by player of the
year candidate Frank Kaminsky.
Once shy before the cameras,
Kaminsky has blossomed, somewhat
reluctantly, into a media darling for a
deadpan delivery and the way he pokes

fun at himself.
Its a good thing that Kaminsky has
gotten more comfortable in front of the
cameras this year given all the attention
that he has received for his inside-out play.
Personally, I like doing the fun
stuff, Kaminsky said this week
at a news conference in Madison.
Sitting up here in front of you
guys gets boring, so whenever
we get out and get an opportunity
to do something thats fun and
there is something that we actually get out of it, its a lot of fun!
The student section serenaded
Kaminsky with Frank the Tank
chants, a mantra that the 7-footer has
embraced.
It sounds simple but Ryan encourages his team to enjoy the moment; to
have fun; and to be themselves.
And needling each other, too.
Kaminsky assigned guard Josh
Gasser the nickname of Captain
America. The fifth-year senior dives
for loose balls, takes charges and generally plays as if hes wearing a suit of
armor.
If Kaminsky is the lead jokester,
Hayes is his sophomore apprentice.
Hayes was the sixth man a year ago.

He walked around the locker room
during NCAA Tournament media availabilities with a camera and microphone
to conduct his own mock interviews as
Nigel Burgundy. That name was play
off the mustachioed, bumbling reporter that Ferrell played in the comedy
Anchorman.
Now Hayes is a starter, part of
the versatile, inside-out trio that also
includes Sam Dekker. Hes always been
funny, teammates and coaches say. Its
just now that people are noticing it
more as hes playing a bigger role on
the team.
Hayes had one of the most viral
moments of the tournament for of
all things a fledgling interest in
transcription. To keep one stenographer
at the news conference on alert, Hayes
started an answer to one question with
the words cattywampus, onomatopoeia and antidisestablishmentarianism.
The big-word buzz apparently generated interest in stenographer classes
at a Madison-area school and cattywampus T-shirts are selling out.

Bengals sign backup QB Josh Johnson

Associated Press
CINCINNATI The
Bengals signed quarterback
Josh Johnson on Thursday to
compete with AJ McCarron
next season to be Andy
Daltons primary backup.
Johnson was Daltons
backup in 2013, when he
appeared in two games but
didnt throw a pass. He
signed with San Francisco
last season and was inactive
for each game. He left the
49ers as an unrestricted free
agent.
Jason Campbell was
Daltons backup last season
and became an unrestricted free agent. McCarron, a
fifth-round draft pick, missed
most of last season with a
sore passing shoulder but was
throwing without problem at

the end of the year.
Johnson was Tampa
Bays fifth-round pick in
2008. He has also played for
Cleveland.
Free agent LB
Paysinger signs with
Dolphins
MIAMI Free
agent
linebacker
Spencer Paysinger
signed Thursday with
the Miami Dolphins,
bolstering a position
thinned by offseason
departures.
Paysinger is a 4-year veteran with 14 career starts,
all for the New York Giants
in 2011-14, and he was their
unofficial captain on special
teams.
This
offseason
the
Dolphins have lost linebackers Philip Wheeler, Dannell

Ellerbe and Jason Trusnik,
all of whom started games
last year.
Paysinger was undrafted out of Oregon,
where he was
a teammate of
Dolphins defensive
end Dion Jordan.
Jordan, the third
overall pick in the
2013 draft, has
struggled in his first
two NFL seasons.
Bowles says Jets hope to
add another QB to mix
NEW YORK The New
York Jets quarterback competition this summer will
include Geno Smith, Ryan
Fitzpatrick, Matt Simms
and perhaps someone else
not yet on the roster.

Coach Todd Bowles says
during a conference call
with season-ticket holders
Thursday that the teams three
current quarterbacks will be
in the competition and we
hope to add somebody else to
compete with them.
Smith has been the Jets
starter the last two seasons
and Fitzpatrick was acquired
from Houston last month to
add a veteran presence but
wont be fully healthy until
training camp after breaking
a leg last season.
Bowles didnt specify
whether the Jets want to add
a quarterback from the draft
or free agency but the team
holds the No. 6 pick and
Oregons Marcus Mariota
could be available.
Reds rotation is focal point as they try to bounce back

By JOE KAY
Associated Press
CINCINNATI The rotation was
Cincinnatis strength in an otherwise
disappointing season last year. Its the
Reds biggest question as they try to
move forward.
Theyre not sure what theyre getting beyond 20-game-winner Johnny
Cueto and Mike Leake, the only two
holdovers who are healthy enough to
pitch as the season begins. Theyve got
some veteran retreads and unproven
young starters trying to hold it together.
The rotation could be a work in
progress well into the season.
I know what the regular lineup
looks like, second-year manager Bryan
Price said. The biggest challenge is the
bullpen and deciding roles and finalizing the last two starting pitchers.
The Reds created two openings by
trading Mat Latos and Alfredo Simon
in the offseason. Homer Bailey hasnt
fully recovered from surgery on his
forearm and wont be ready until at
least mid-April.
Cincinnati is counting on Anthony
DeSclafani, who was acquired from

Miami in the trade for Latos, to fill one
of the spots. The rest of the rotation
was under construction late in spring
training, a sign of how much things had
changed from a year ago.
We feel we have a competitive
team, Price said. This isnt a
rebuilt situation. So we have to
feel as confident as we can 1-5
in our rotation.
The Reds lost 86 games last
season in large part because of a
subpar offense and a bullpen that
finished as one of the NLs worst. Theyve
tried to fix those two problems in the offseason through trades and free agency.
Now, a lot of it is on the starters to
make it hold together during a special
season in Cincinnati, which will host the
All-Star Game. Some things to watch:
CUETOS CONTRACT
Cueto is entering the final year on
his deal. The Reds have talked to him
about an extension but nothing was
imminent as spring training wound
down. If Cueto doesnt have an extension by midseason, the Reds would be
in the position of considering a trade
offer rather than letting him leave as a

free agent after the season.
VOTTOS LEG
First baseman Joey Votto didnt play
after July 5 because of strained muscles
above his left knee. The 2010 National
League MVP felt good in spring training. The Reds struggled to score
runs last season despite playing
in hitter-friendly Great American
Ball Park. If Votto is back to
form, the offense will get a huge
boost. The question is whether
he can make it through the season without getting hurt again.
NEEDING RELIEF
The bullpen was one of the biggest
problems in the second half of the season, contributing to the Reds collapse.
They were only 1 1/2 games out in the
NL Central at the All-Star break but went
25-42 the rest of the way. The bullpen
was 1-17 after the break. Closer Aroldis
Chapman was dependable but the middle of the bullpen was a huge problem.
The Reds added Burke Badenhop and
Kevin Gregg to try to help and moved
left-hander Tony Cingrani into a relief
role during spring training.
Indians confident theyll contend and maybe more

By TOM WITHERS
Associated Press
CLEVELAND While their AL Central rivals jockeyed
during the offseason, one trying to outdo the other to improve
their chances of winning a World Series title, the Indians
watched.
That was the plan.
No, they didnt make any blockbuster trades, sign a
big-name, big-ticket free agent or overhaul their roster
with new faces. The Indians, who somehow stayed in
contention last season until the waning days of September,
didnt feel the need to make radical changes. It wasnt
necessary.
The pieces are in place for Cleveland to have a special
2015 season.
The team knows it, said second baseman Jason
Kipnis. We got two winning seasons in a row. We had an
85-win season when we had about three guys playing good.
The possibilities are there, the potential is there. That whole
last year we never had more than a 7-game winning streak,
never really got hot.
We got the same corps. Same group of guys. We kind
of want another chance at this again and were getting
another chance.
The Indians return virtually the same team that went 85-77
last season, finishing third behind division champion Detroit
and wild-card winner Kansas City, which ended a postseason
drought dating to 1985, won the pennant and pushed San
Francisco to seven games in the World Series.

Watching the Royals inspired the Indians. And as he
prepares for his third season in Cleveland, manager Terry
Francona senses a different drive in his players.
Theyre hungry.
Our veteran guys are trying to get better, he said. Our
younger guys are excited to prove what they can do. I didnt
see anybody just kind of go home and want to kind of keep
the status quo. Were all excited about that.
Francona said theyre upping expectations both on
performance and results.
Theyre kind of at a stage where theyre embracing
trying to see if we can go up against some of these
teams and, not only maybe hold our own, but maybe
do a little more than that, Francona said.
Theres no denying Franconas magical touch. The
man who helped end Bostons supposed baseball curse,
who got the Indians to the postseason in 2013, has an uncanny ability to convince players buy in to his program and get
them to believe they can overcome any obstacles: injuries,
payroll, low expectations, the Tigers lineup.
This spring, Francona didnt have to sell the Indians, who havent won a World Series since 1948, on the idea they can compete.
They already know that. Now its a matter of taking the next step.
When guys believe they can do it, then they start to do it,
then you see the confidence take over and guys take off, and
you can accomplish a lot, he added. Thats part of the fun
of the season, to see how good you can get. Id rather enjoy,
as much as we can, the journey.
When free throws turn foul:

Spartans shaky from the line
Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS If the Final Four comes down to free
throws, Tom Izzo may want to cover his eyes.
Michigan State made it this far in spite of its poor foul
shooting,but despite his best efforts, the Spartans coach has
had a hard time helping his players improve at the line.
We begged them, we threatened them, we prayed with
them, Izzo said. We did everything.
Michigan State enters Saturday nights national semifinal
against Duke shooting 63.2 percent on free throws and to win
the national title, the Spartans will have to buck
a pretty conclusive trend. Only one team in the
last four decades has won the NCAA Tournament
while being this bad at foul shots.
Right now, the best news for Michigan State
might be that its next opponent has issues of its
own. Jahlil Okafor, Dukes leading scorer, shoots
only 51 percent at the line so that game may be decided by
which struggling free throw shooters produce under pressure.
Michigan State is hoping to repeat Connecticuts feat from
last year by winning the national title as a No. 7 seed but
theres at least one obvious difference between the teams. The
2014 Huskies finished fourth in the nation in free throw percentage, shooting 78 percent for the season and 88 percent in
the NCAA Tournament.
The Spartans have been nowhere near that reliable. Branden
Dawson and Gavin Schilling are both under 50 percent this
season. Tum Tum Nairn is shooting 52 percent from the line
and Matt Costello is at 67 percent. During one home loss to
Illinois, Michigan State made only 7 of 18 free throws.
At times, it felt like nothing good could come of a Michigan
State foul shot. On March 7, the Spartans were leading Indiana
with less than a second remaining, so Izzo wanted Marvin
Clark to intentionally miss a free throw. Naturally, the ball
went in that time and an exasperated Izzo slumped to his knees
and leaned against the scorers table. Michigan State did hold
on to win that game.
Duke is shooting 69.5 percent from the line, a figure that
would be higher if Okafor werent attempting more free throws
than anybody else on the team. The freshmans foul shooting is
one of his few weaknesses.
Helping a player like that improve is tricky because free
throw problems can be both mental and physical.
There will be some good foul shooters at the Final Four.
Several of them play for Wisconsin, which ranks 11th in the
country at 76.4 percent. Unbeaten Kentucky is shooting a solid
72.5 percent, in stark contrast to some of coach John Caliparis
previous teams.
The worst free throw-shooting team to win a title over the
last 40 years was Connecticut in 2004, according to STATS.
The Huskies shot 62.3 percent that year. The 10 national champions since have all shot at least 69 percent.
Michigan State is well below that mark, so the Spartans
will either have to withstand a few more missed free throws
or shoot them better for the next two games. They did make
some important free throws down the stretch in a Sweet 16 win
over Oklahoma and they went 15 of 20 against Louisville in
the regional final.
With the matchup against Duke looming, Izzo recalled
some wise words about foul shots from his coaching mentor.
Jud Heathcote once told me, If you get the right guys to
the line, youll shoot better, Izzo added. I dont think we
have that opportunity or option all the time. Its not something
were worried about. We are what we are and well go from
there.
Winslows versatility key in Dukes return to Final
Four: Justise Winslow is ready to do everything if thats
what it takes to help Duke win a national championship.
Dont put it past him, either. Hes spent the past four NCAA
Tournament games proving he can.
The 6-6, 225-pound forward scores. He rebounds. He can
chase guards along the perimeter or play as an undersized
4-man wrestling against bigger players inside.
On a team led by a potential No. 1 overall NBA draft pick
in freshman big man Okafor, Winslow has been at his irreplaceable best in March a big reason why the Blue Devils
are back in the Final Four for the 12th time under Hall of Fame
coach Mike Krzyzewski with a roster of just eight scholarship
players.
I mean, its March, Winslow said this week. Its now or
never. Im preparing better than ever for the games. Im just
really focused and locked in and really excited to play.
This is a case where the numbers say plenty about
Winslows impact for the Blue Devils (33-4) heading into
Saturdays national semifinal against Michigan State, yet not
nearly enough about his value.
An every-game starter, Winslow ranks in the top three on
the team in nine different stat categories on the season with his
ability to score, rebound, distribute and get to the line.
Hes been even better in the tournament, both at filling statsheets and masking holes on a roster thinned by the dismissal
of Rasheed Sulaimon in January. Sulaimon was let go for
unable to consistently live up to team standards.

Michael Brantley homers,

Indians beat Reds 4-3
By GARY SCHATZ
Associated Press
GOODYEAR, Ariz.
Michael Brantley hit his first
home run of the spring and
the Cleveland Indians beat
Cincinnati 4-3 Thursday as
the Reds wrapped up camp.
Brantley had two hits,
including a 2-run homer off
Pedro Villarreal in the seventh inning.
Brantley is going to be
good regardless, manager
Terry Francona said. There
is so little swing-and-miss.
When he sees a ball he likes,
hes going to hit it.
Cincinnatis Mike Leake
gave up a solo homer to Ryan
Rohlinger that broke a tie in
the fifth inning. Rohlinger,
who was told last week that
he would not make the team,
hit his third home run of the
spring.
Leake allowed seven
hits and a pair of runs in six
innings.
Zach McAllister went

6 1/3 innings, the longest
stint for any Indians pitcher
this spring. He gave up one
earned run and nine hits. Jay
Bruce had a sacrifice fly.
Reds regulars and coaches
left in the sixth inning for
a flight to Montreal, where
theyll play exhibition games
against Toronto on Friday and
Saturday. Then the Reds head
to Cincinnati for their season
opener on Monday afternoon
against Pittsburgh.
TRAINING ROOM
Indians: INF Zach Walters,
who has a right abdominal

Status quo: Playoff committee

keeps weekly rankings
By RALPH D. RUSSO
Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS The College
Football Playoff selection committee
liked the way the first season went so
much, it will recommend the status quo
for year two.
The committee plans to release its
first weekly rankings of the 2015 season
on Nov. 3.
Committee chairman Jeff Long said
Thursday the panel will recommend to
the conference commissioners that there
should be no changes to the rankings
routine. Following the ninth week of the
regular season, the 13-member panel
will meet in person in the Dallas area
and the rankings will come out each
Tuesday.
Generally, we think last year went
very well and we were very pleased
with the reaction from fans across the
country. Our goal, really, is to build
upon that success, said Long, who is
the athletic director at Arkansas.
The college football season starts a
week later this season so there will be
six weeks of rankings instead of seven.
The final rankings used to determine the
four teams participating in the College

Football Playoff will be released Dec. 6.
The important thing is that were
staying consistent and ranking teams
after nine weeks of the season, Long said.
The conference commissioners are expected to
approve the recommendations
later this month.
The some of the commissioners spoke publicly about the possibility of paring back the number of
rankings or possibly taking a different
approach to how the teams were ranked.
Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany suggested possibly grouping similar teams
into tiers, instead of giving each team a
specific ranking.
Long said there was some discussion
about tweaking the way teams were
ranked but ultimately they are sticking
with what they felt worked well last
season.
There was also some talk about cutting back on the once-a-week travel for
committee members.
There were discussions about it but
I think we came out feeling strongly that
face-to-face meetings are very import-
ant, Long added. We think thats a

true strength of our rankings system,
being in the room all together as committee members to discuss it.
The
committee
picked
Alabama, Florida State, Oregon
and Ohio State to play in the
first College Football Playoff
last season. The fourth-seeded
Buckeyes beat Oregon in the
national championship game in
Arlington, Texas.
This seasons championship game
will be played Jan. 11 in Glendale,
Arizona.
The committee met Thursday for
the first time with its newest members. Texas Tech athletic director Kirby
Hocutt is replacing Oliver Luck, who
left West Virginia to take a job at the
NCAA, and former Vanderbilt coach
Bobby Johnson is replacing Archie
Manning, who stepped down earlier
this month.
Southern California athletic director
Pat Haden skipped the meeting because
of Indianas new religious objections
law that some critics believe could lead
to discrimination against gays and lesbians. Haden has a gay son.
Larson cleared to race at Texas after fainting

Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C.
Kyle Larson said dehydration
was to blame for him fainting
during an autograph session
an episode that led to two
nights in the hospital and
forced him to miss the race at
Martinsville Speedway.
Larson on Thursday was
medically cleared to return to
competition beginning next
weekend at Texas Motor
Speedway. NASCAR does
not race this week.
The 22-year old fainted Saturday at Martinsville
and was taken that night by
helicopter to a hospital in
Charlotte, North Carolina, for
testing. Although Larson said
he felt fine from the moment
he came to, he was hospitalized until late Monday as
doctors performed multiple
tests on last years rookie of
the year.
It was just kind of a
weird morning just because
I was almost late to practice,
so I just rushed myself that
morning and didnt take very
good care of myself throughout the day and just ended up
dehydrating myself, Larson
said in a conference call
Thursday. Just got to do a
better job of taking care of
myself and that should never
happen again.
Larson, who became a
first-time father in December,
said he had made it to the
end of the autograph session
without any issues, began
feeling lightheaded as he
talked to the last fan remaining, tried to lean forward to

feel better, then passed out.
Larson said doctors at
the Virginia hospital he first
went to believed he fainted
from dehydration but was
still sent to Charlotte for a
more complete look at his
health.
He
recalled
some frustration
as tests dragged on
and kept him out
of Sundays race,
battling nerves a few times
in what he said was his first
trip to the hospital of his life.
Even so, he never once worried his career was in danger.
Larson is considered to
be one of NASCARs next
superstars and his talent level
has been praised by series
champions Jeff Gordon and
Tony Stewart long before he
ever made it to the Sprint
Cup Series.
Chip Ganassi Racing said
Larson had been through a
thorough review by doctors and would be back in the
No. 42 Chevrolet next week.
Larson, who has never
had a serious injury or illness
sideline him from a racing
career that began when he
was a child in California,
added he wasnt even sure
what hed been tested for but
was certain he wont have
any issues going forward.
RCR appeals penalty against Newmans
team for tire bleeding:
Richard Childress Racing
has appealed the penalties
NASCAR levied against

Ryan Newmans team for
allegedly manipulating tires.
NASCAR this week
announced tires taken from
Newman after the March 22
race in California failed an
independent inspection and
had been altered to intentionally release air pressure
during the race.
Crew chief
Luke Lambert
was
fined
$125,000 and
suspended for the next six
races. The suspension also
includes the All-Star race
in May. Lambert was also
placed on probation through
the end of the year.
Tire technician James
Bender and engineer Philip
Surgen also were suspended
six races and placed on probation through Dec. 31.
Newman and car owner
Childress were docked 75
points each.
No date for the appeal
was set Thursday.
NASCAR said RCR
requested to have all the
penalties deferred while
the appeal takes place. The
sanctioning body granted the
deferral for the suspensions
and fines but did not reinstate
the points for Newman and
Childress.
NASCAR added the
points would be reinstated if
RCR wins the appeal.
Texas, Bristol and
Michigan to make safety
modifications: Three more
race tracks have announced
safety modifications that

were determined necessary
following Kyle Buschs serious accident at Daytona.
Busch broke his right
leg and left foot when he
crashed into a concrete wall
at Daytona in February. It
has spurred industry-wide
inspections to see if the walls
at most tracks have enough
protection to prevent an injury.
Texas Motor Speedway
has added 250 feet of tire
barriers in preparation for
NASCARs visit next week.
Bristol Motor Speedway
will add 600 feet of SAFER
barrier to the front and backstretch outside walls before
the race on April 19.
Michigan International
Speedway will add the
steel-and-foam
energy
reducing barriers to pit-in
and pit-out walls and tire
packs will be installed at
the angled wall inside Turn
1 before NASCARs visit
in June.

adds
de
Silvestro to Indianapolis
500 lineup
PHILADELPHIA
With a race car parked on

a city sidewalk, Simona de
Silvestro shared tales of her
ride from European karting all the way to a date in
Indianapolis.
I started when I was 6,
she told a group of local
Philadelphia students. Its
funny, when I look at pictures now, my helmet was
way too big.
Spartans
(Continued from page 6)
Winslow is averaging 14 points, 9.5
rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.8 blocks and
1.5 steals. Hes also shooting 51
percent from the floor, 58 percent (7 for 12) from the 3-point
arc and 82 percent (9 for 11)
from the line.
Every one of those numbers
tops his season average.
Winslows fit-any-lineup
skills allowed Krzyzewski to
juggle his starting lineup in February a
few weeks after Sulaimons departure,
moving Winslow from the wing to the 4
over junior Amile Jefferson and starting
guard Matt Jones.
That has coincided with some of
Dukes best play this season, with
Winslow creating matchup problems by
stressing defenses with his outside shot
along with his ability to snatch down a

rebound and start the break.
Senior Quinn Cook has gone up
against Winslow in practices. It isnt
fun.
Hes so strong, so its
hard to even get the ball
when hes denying, Cook
said. Hes strong, fast and
he knows that. He uses it
against us, especially against
the smaller guys. Im glad
hes on my team because I
would hate to go against him in a real
game.
But Krzyzewski sees another reason
for Winslows strong late-season play,
rooted in lessons learned during a rough
stretch in January.
Battling a shoulder injury, Winslow
scored a combined 12 points on 4-for-19
shooting in back-to-back losses at North
Carolina State then a shockingly lopsided loss to Miami in Dukes famously

hostile Cameron Indoor Stadium.
His play suffered more as he suffered
a cracked rib, the lowest moment coming when he went scoreless in 10 minutes against St. Johns on Jan. 25 the
win that gave Krzyzewski his 1,000th
career victory.
Ever since, Krzyzewski added,
Winslow has been an athlete and competitor who is becoming an exceptional basketball player.
He learned to play not at 100 percent, where he went on the court and
was not fighting an injury but still
competing. We take for granted that all
these kids know all those things and
they dont. Sometimes thats the first
time youre injured and how you handle it. But hes become an outstanding
player.
Wisconsin
Lyles coming up big on both ends for
No. 1 Kentucky in NCAA: First came the
leg injury that delayed Trey Lyles inclusion
in Kentuckys platoon system until the fall.
A midseason bout of strep throat followed,
sidelining him for three games.
The impressive performances between
those absences are why coach John Calipari
says the 6-10 Lyles is the X-factor for the
top-ranked Wildcats.
Several players have worn that label this
season for Kentucky (38-0). But it particularly fits Lyles because his athleticism makes
him difficult to defend or beat, creating another matchup problem for opponents already
struggling to contain Wildcats 7-footer Willie
Cauley-Stein and 6-11 Karl-Anthony Towns.
Im just going out there and doing what
he (Calipari) asks me to do, said Lyles, who
has no problem with the X-factor label. He
tells me all the time to just execute and play

hard.
Lyles has been playing some of his best
basketball in the NCAA Tournament,
averaging 11.1 points and 7.3 rebounds.
He is a threat that Wisconsin must neutralize in Saturdays Final Four rematch
in Indianapolis, Lyles hometown. The
winner will face whoever advances in
the Michigan State-Duke matchup in
the other semifinal game.
Kentuckys frontcourt is a challenge for
most teams and Lyles versatility further
complicates things. His quickness allows
him to play inside and on the perimeter. His
11-point, 11-rebound effort in a 64-51, roundof-32 victory over Cincinnati included a dunk
and a spin move for a basket that helped the
Wildcats retain momentum against the physical Bearcats.
Hes playing small forward but can
slide over to power forward, or even center
The Herald 7
Ko ties Sorenstams record of

29 straight rounds under par
Associated Press
RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. Lydia Ko was in trouble.
Trying to tie Annika Sorenstams LPGA Tour record for consecutive rounds under par, the 17-year-old New Zealander was
even par with three holes left and stuck behind five large trees
to the left of the seventh fairway.
It was a pretty nasty place to be, Ko said.
To escape, she needed to a hit a big, low hook.
She did, with the ball scampering onto the green and stopping pin-high 25 feet to the right.
I said, Im going to try to hit the biggest hook, Ko
recalled. It would have probably looked really bad, that swing
on camera, but it ended up being OK. I had to hit it low
enough and had to hit a slinging hook, so I didnt end up in
the bunker.
She 2-putted for par, then hit a 6-iron to 18 inches on
the 158-yard, par-3 eighth to set up the birdie she needed to
get under par. She closed with a par on the par-5 ninth for a
1-under 71 to match Sorenstams record of 29 straight rounds
under par.
Playing partner Lexi Thompson thought her young friend
was in trouble on No. 7.
It was an incredible shot, Thompson said. I didnt know
she had that kind of shot because she was on an upslope. I
didnt know she could keep it under the trees.
The top-ranked Ko started the streak in the first round of
her victory last year in the season-ending CME Group Tour
Championship. Her worldwide streak is 32, counting her three
rounds this year in her victory in the Ladies European Tours
New Zealand Womens Open.
Sorenstam set the LPGA Tour mark in 2004.
Also the Womens Australian Open winner in February the
week before her New Zealand victory, Ko was a stroke behind
leaders Charley Hull, Na Yeon Choi and Austin Ernst halfway
through the first round in the first major championship of the
season.
Second-ranked Inbee Park and No. 3 Stacy Lewis played in
the afternoon. Lewis won the 2011 tournament, and Park took
the 2013 title.
Opening in strong morning wind at tree-lined Mission
Hills, Ko made a 14-foot birdie putt on her first hole and got
to 2 under with an 8-footer on No. 12. She bogeyed the par-4
13th, hitting into the front right bunker and leaving herself a
25-foot par putt.
After Thompson hit into the water in front of the green on
the 133-yard 14th with the wind gusting to 25-30 mph, Ko hit
pin-high to the right and made the 15-footer for birdie.
Ko bogeyed three of the next four holes to make the turn
at 1 over.
Playing into a right-to-left crosswind on the par-4 15th, she
drove into the front of the left fairway bunker. A half-foot from
the lip of the bunker, she chipped 30 yards to the fairway and
hit her 6-iron third to 35 feet.
On the par-4 16th, she drove to the left, with the ball stopping in rough on the front edge of a bunker. Her fairway wood
with the ball below her feet ended up short of the green in the
left rough and she hit her third to 20 feet.
She was fortunate to drop only one shot on the par-5 18th.
After going from the right rough to left and sending her third
through the green, Ko hit a flop shot that ticked a palm tree and
stopped in the fringe. Her downhill putt raced 15 feet past but
she holed the comebacker.
Ko got back to even par on the par-5 second, hitting a chip
to a foot. She also chipped to a foot on the par-3 fifth after
missing the green to the left.
She was too busy scrambling to worry about the record.
When youre in that position, a record was the last thing I
was thinking about, Ko added.
Thompson, the defending champion, had a 72.
Michelle Wie, second last year, had a double bogey on No.
18 in a 73.
Piercy shoots 63, hold 1-stroke lead at Houston Open
HOUSTON Scott Piercy tied a tournament record with
a nearly flawless 9-under-par 63 Thursday to take a 1-stroke
lead after the first round of the Houston Open.
Alex Cejka, playing in one of the afternoon groups, made
four birdies on his back nine the courses front nine to
finish with a 64, one stroke behind Piercy.

is turnover-making.

hard worker will be scrutinized if you decide to rest on
your laurels. Remain diligent

Al-Shabab militants kill Archives

147 at university in Kenya
GARISSA, Kenya (AP)

Al-Shabab gunmen rampaged through
a university in northeastern Kenya at
dawn Thursday, killing 147 people in
the groups deadliest attack in the East
African country. Four militants were
slain by security forces to end the siege
just after dusk.
The masked attackers strapped
with explosives and armed with AK-47s
singled out non-Muslim students at
Garissa University College and then
gunned them down without mercy, survivors said. Others ran for their lives
with bullets whistling through the air.

Amid the massacre, the men took
dozens of hostages in a dormitory as
they battled troops and police before the
operation ended after about 13 hours,
witnesses said.
When gunfire from the Kenyan security forces struck the attackers, the militants exploded like bombs, Interior
Minister Joseph Nkaissery said, adding
that the shrapnel wounded some of the
officers.
Al-Shabab spokesman Ali Mohamud
Rage said fighters from the Somalia-
based extremist group were responsible.

The al-Qaida-linked group has been
blamed for a series of attacks in Kenya,
including the siege at the Westgate Mall
in Nairobi in 2013 that killed 67 people,
as well as other violence in the north.
The group has vowed to retaliate against
Kenya for sending troops to Somalia
in 2011 to fight the militants staging
cross-border attacks.
Most of the 147 dead were students,
but two security guards, one policeman
and one soldier also were killed in the
attack, Nkaissery said.

A parallel process played
out at the Indiana Capitol as
the House and Senate passed
changes to a law signed last
week by GOP Gov. Mike
Pence, who quickly approved
the revisions.
Over the past week, this
law has become a subject of
great misunderstanding and
controversy across our state
and nation, Pence said in a
statement. However we got
here, we are where we are,
and it is important that our
state take action to address
the concerns that have been

some may not need to save as much as

Personal factors will enter the picture, also.

Evans said. Conversely, an individual

An individuals projected expenses
