massac’s childers surpasses 600 strikeouts for 26-0-1...

In a season of lasts, Lone Oak’s tennis teams pulled off a surpris-ing fi rst.

All four of today’s regional fi -nals — boys and girls, singles and doubles — are Lone Oak vs. Lone Oak affairs.

Amazingly enough, given how the Purple Flash has dominated the regional landscape for much of the past three decades, that had never happened until the conclu-sion of Wednesday’s semifi nals at the Lone Oak Tennis Center.

“We’ve done it on the girls side a lot,” Lone Oak coach Larry He-fl in said, “but there was always someone that snuck in there, es-pecially in boys. Paducah Tilgh-man has had a few and there have been some (individual) players that made it to the fi nals.”

To achieve the clean sweep, Lone Oak did need to pull off a trio of mild upsets. In all three cases, Flash teams that were seed-ed third knocked off No. 2 seeds from crosstown rival Tilghman.

Freshman Logan McKinney might have made the biggest waves, knocking off Brock Sigler 6-3, 6-0 in boys singles.

“We felt like we had a good matchup because of their playing styles,” Hefl in said. “Logan tends to hit a lot of what we call ‘dipping shots,’ and the way Brock charges

the net, Logan can make some pretty tough shots for him.”

McKinney wasn’t providing any kind of that analysis, but he knows it was a big win.

“I really didn’t know what to

expect,” McKinney said. “I’m a freshman and he’s a senior, so I had never played him before (in age-group competition in the

Chicago Cubs’ Luis Valbuena slides safely into home past the tag of St. Louis Cardi-nals catcher Yadier Molina after a double by Anthony Rizzo in Wednesday’s game in Chicago. The Cardinals’ 5-4 victory finished off a six-game road trip with a 5-1 record.

CHICAGO — Starting pitching. Veteran hitters. Dependable relievers. The St. Lou-is Cardinals have it all, so all this success on the road is no accident.

Carlos Beltran and Jon Jay drove in two runs apiece, and the Cardinals capped an impressive trip with a 5-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday.

Beltran also had three hits as St. Louis won for the seventh time in eight games and improved to a major league-best 14-7 on the road. The Cardinals went 5-1 on a six-game swing to Milwaukee and Chica-go, with the lone loss Tuesday in their fi rst game of the season against the last-place Cubs.

“We’ve been an opportunistic team,”

manager Mike Matheny said. “We make the most of the opportunities that we’re getting, even though they’re not that many right now. And then they’re resilient, they just keep coming back.”

The Cardinals trailed 4-3 before Beltran singled in Matt Carpenter in the seventh, and Jay drove in Yadier Molina with a tie-breaking single against Michael Bowden (1-2) in the eighth. Each rally featured a costly mistake by the Cubs, with Carpenter moving to third on an error by right fi elder Nate Schierholtz and Molina advancing to second on a wild pitch.

Jay also had a sacrifi ce fl y in the fourth inning and hit .500 (10 for 20) with a hom-er and eight RBIs on the trip. The center

St. Mary’s Wes Averill concentrates as he returns the ball to his Lone Oak opponent during a singles match at the First Regional Tennis Semifinals at the Lone Oak Tennis Center.


Lone Oak’s Preston O’Donnelly prepares to return a serve to a St. Mary opponent during a singles match at the First Regional Tennis Semifinals at the Lone Oak Tennis Center.

SMITHLAND —With Lone Oak’s batting order back in top form Wednesday, Kelsee Hen-son took advantage of her op-portunities.

Henson, a sophomore, was 2-for-4 and recorded two RBI to help the Lady Flash to a 4-0 win over No. 20 state-ranked Livingston Central. It was the fi rst time this season the Lady Cardinals failed to score.

“Kelsee’s leading us in RBI, there’s no doubt,” Lone Oak coach David Scheer said, “and at one time before Keely got hurt, she was really on fi re be-cause Keely and Jac were get-ting on in front of her all the time.”

Keely Barnes made her fi rst varsity start since having gall-bladder surgery two weeks ago and responded by going 2-for-4 in the No. 2 spot behind lead-

off batter Jacqueline Roof. In the third inning, Henson’s single brought in Barnes for

the Lady Flash, ranked fourth in the latest state coaches poll, to go up 1-0.

“Jacqueline always puts it in play,” Henson said, “and Keely can get on by bunting, slapping, you never know what she’s going to do and it tricks the defense.”

Maybe more than simply hitting the ball, Scheer felt that the Flash’s aggressive baserun-ning led them to the win, and helped force Livingston into four uncharacteristic errors.

“The base running is what made them throw the ball around,” Scheer explained. “We were up 1-0 and when you start putting pressure on a team, and a good team that normally doesn’t make mis-takes, it gets them a little frus-trated and we have to take ad-

vantage of that, which we did.”Lone Oak’s second run in the

top of the fourth inning came after a successful hotbox situa-tion started by Madeline Woo-ten on her way to second base with a runner on third, paving the way for Henson’s second RBI.

Defensively, the Flash were sound. Pitcher Jenny Chap-man struck out eight batters and walked two while giving up Livingston’s only two hits to catcher Hailee Lampley, who was 2-for-3 for the Cardinals.

“Their pitcher is hard to hit and if we could have kept it to a one-run ballgame there late, we would have had a chance,” Livingston coach Stan Head said, “but down three or four to good pitchers and good de-fenses like they’ve got, it’s just hard to score.”

A planned game between the teams was canceled earlier

this season, but was resched-uled in short notice on Tues-day. Both coaches were hop-ing to see quality competition to make up for rainouts and before their respective district and regional tournaments roll around.

“They’ve got a good chance to come out of the Second Region if they play good, and we’ve got a good chance to come out of the First Region,” Scheer said. “It was good for both of us.”

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Toronto Blue Jays pitcher J.A. Happ was released Wednesday from a Florida hos-pital, just a day after he was hit on the head by a line drive, and hopes for a quick return to the mound.

Bayfront Medical Center said in a statement that Happ was discharged after being upgraded from fair to good condition. Happ was taken there after being struck on the left side of the head by a ball off the bat of Desmond Jennings during Tuesday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays.

“I’m in good spirits,” Happ said in a statement re-leased by the hospital. “I definitely appreciate the sup-port of the baseball community. It’s been overwhelm-ing, the messages and kind words I’ve been getting.”

SAN FRANCISCO — Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Halladay will have arthroscopic surgery to repair a bone spur in his right shoulder.

The two-time Cy Young Award winner made the an-nouncement before the Phillies played the San Fran-cisco Giants on Wednesday.

He says “I have a good chance to come back and pitch this year, hopefully be a lot more effective.”

On the 15-day disabled list because of inflamma-tion in his throwing shoulder, Halladay met with Dr. Lewis Yocum in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

The 35-year-old right-hander is 2-4 with an 8.65 ERA in seven starts this season after missing nearly two months last year because of a strained back muscle.

DENVER — In keeping with the theme of selfless-ness that the Denver Nuggets demonstrated this sea-son, George Karl is sharing the credit for winning the league’s Coach of the Year award.

Karl thanked everyone from his middle school coach who got him into the game to his good friend, the late Rick Majerus, in an emotional news confer-ence at the Pepsi Center.

He credited the Nuggets players, assistant coach-es, scouts, trainers, front office, ownership and sup-port staff after winning the Red Auerbach trophy for the first time in his quarter century as an NBA head coach.

Said Karl: “What I hope is everybody understands this is not about me, it’s about a lot of people and a lot of people in my past and I am proud to have that trophy.”

At Metropolis, Ill., Mas-sac County pitcher Kay-lee Childers recorded her 600th career strikeout and then some in a 12-0 four-inning win over Pope County on Wednesday.

Childers joined fellow seniors Courtney Copley and Lakken Jones on Se-nior Day and struck out eight batters to end the day with 607 strikeouts. She gave up no hits, but hit one batter and walked two. Childers also dominated offensively, recording two triples, including one for two RBI in the eight-run fourth inning to go 2-for-3. Jessie Douglas, Jessi Stun-son and Jordyn Smith also recorded two hits apiece.

1 — Lone Oak forced a tie with Paducah Tilgh-man for the Second Re-gion top seed by pounding Reidland on Wednesday. Bryce Wright and Sam Goode each had two hits and drove in three runs for the Flash. Sam Guill had the only hit and the only RBI for the Greyhounds.

Lone Oak and Tilghman each fi nished at 5-1 in the district. The fi rst tie break-er is head-to-head games, which they split.

fi elder has been playing so well that Matheny decided to move him up to sixth in the lineup, pushing strug-gling David Freese down one. The lineup switch also provided more protection for Molina, who responded with two hits.

“I’m just trying to keep it simple up there,” Jay said. “Trying to hit the ball hard, and I’ve been able to get some pitches over the plate that I’ve been able to drive.”

Anthony Rizzo had three hits and Schierholtz ripped a two-run double for Chi-cago, trying for its second three-game winning streak this season. Instead, the Cubs fi nished a 4-6 home-stand.

“We just can’t seem to shut anybody down in the sixth, seventh inning,” manager Dale Sveum said. “We’re getting two strikes on people, we just can’t

make a pitch when we have to.”

Chicago had 11 hits but grounded into four double plays, one in every inning from the fi fth to the eighth. The last one was particular-ly heartbreaking, with the potential tying run on third.

Four Cardinals relievers combined for 3 2/3 innings of two-hit ball after Jake Westbrook had his worst start this season. Seth Ma-ness (2-0) got fi ve outs to get the win and Edward Mujica worked the ninth for his ninth save in nine op-portunities.

“The afternoon game on a picturesque spring day in Chicago attracted 26,354 to Wrigley Field, and fans were treated to a little bit of everything. There were a couple of adventures on the basepaths, a rarely seen 4-2-3 groundout and a bunch of singles — just three of 22 hits were for ex-tra bases.

summer). I’m just really happy to beat him.”

Hefl in wouldn’t rule out the possibility that the win could give McKinney a chance at a seed in next week’s state tournament as part of the group that is designated as Nos. 9-16 seeds.

“I would have to look back on some of the scores of matches he’s played this season against some of the teams we’ve played in the state,” Hefl in said. “Brock doesn’t necessarily have a lot of info out there state-wide, either, so I’m not sure how this win will affect it.”

McKinney’s emergence as a solid singles player also sends signals that the Flash will be tough in the team competition this weekend. In the state format, teams play three singles matches and two doubles matches. Matt Townsend, gener-ally rated as Lone Oak’s top player, was academi-cally ineligible to play in the regional tournament but should be cleared to play in the team sectional tourna-ment in Owensboro on Sat-urday.

The other two regional “upsets” were in doubles. Freshmen Tommy Hagan and Landon Davis beat the Tornado’s Zack Hertter and Parker Rowton in dou-bles, and the girls doubles squad of Courtney Dallas and Makensie Ellerman knocked off Grace Kappock and Katie Paxton 6-3, 7-6 in perhaps the best match of the day.

Otherwise, the seed-ings held form, with eighth grader Michelle McKamey poised to win her third con-secutive singles crown. Hef-lin thinks a win over Abbie Mather of Louisville As-sumption earlier this spring could put her in position to

claim a “top-four seed,” He-fl in said.

“People know Michelle and how good she is,” He-fl in said, “but that’s a win that people notice and re-member.”

Lone Oak closes shop in the coming weeks as part of the pending McCracken County consolidation with streaks that will last for-ever. The boys have won 11 consecutive regional titles, while the girls’ streak ends at 26 straight crowns. And with so much young talent, expect that success to carry over to the new McCracken program.

McKinney, who will trade purple and gold for the new school’s colors of crimson and white, expects business as usual.

“I don’t think it will change much, but we’ll have more depth,” said McKin-ney, who doesn’t expect a change at the top, either -- Hefl in will certainly be appointed as the program’s coach later this month. “I see (Hefl in) coaching until he’s on his deathbed. He’s always going to do that.”

OKLAHOMA CITY — Tony Allen thought it might have been out of desperation that he ended up guarding Kevin Durant in crunch time.

Whatever it was, it worked out perfectly for the Mem-phis Grizzlies.

Mike Conley scored 26 points and fueled a late

Memphis run while Allen was harassing Durant, and the Grizzlies beat the Okla-homa City Thunder 99-93 on Tuesday night to tie the Western Conference semifi -nals at one.

Conley hit a 3-pointer from the left wing with 1:58 left to put the Grizzlies ahead, and Allen made it stick with his defense on the

three-time scoring cham-pion who had made back-to-back baskets in the fi nal minute to put Oklahoma City on top in Game 1.

This time, Durant missed his fi nal three shots and fell to the fl oor while commit-ting a turnover against Al-len as Memphis reeled off 10 straight points to claim home-court advantage in

the series.Game 3 is Saturday in

Memphis.“He’s a prolifi c scorer.

He’s the best scorer in the league, but the thing I can do out there is probably just cause havoc out there the best that I can,” Allen said.

After Conley’s go-ahead 3, Allen went fl ying to try and block a 3-point response by

Durant. It forced Durant to hesitate before he missed a shot, and Conley was able to tack on an 18-foot jumper for a 94-90 Memphis lead with 1:04 to play.

A double-team forced Du-rant to give the ball up on the next possession, but the Thunder got another chance after rebounding Reggie Jackson’s missed 3-pointer.

Durant then went to back in from the left wing against Allen, who pulled away and allowed Durant to fall down. Allen tipped the ball to Marc Gasol for another stop.

Another defensive whiz, Tayshaun Prince, got the pri-mary assignment guarding Durant, along with Quincy Pondexter. But it was Allen who got the key stops.

MIAMI — So much for that notion of the Miami Heat being in trouble.

Sure, they’ve lost home-court advantage in these Eastern Conference semifi nals. But an absolute domination of the Chi-cago Bulls on Wednesday night made the reigning NBA cham-pions look like the clear-cut team to beat in this title race once again.

Ray Allen scored 21 points in only 19 minutes, LeBron James fi nished with 19 points and nine assists, and the Heat led by as

many as 46 points on the way to a 115-78 victory on Wednes-day night in Game 2 of their se-ries, now knotted at one game apiece.

It was the largest margin of victory in Heat postseason his-tory, topping a 35-point win over Orlando on April 24, 1997.

Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson were ejected in the fourth quar-ter for Chicago, and the league will almost certainly review some of the things said and done in a game that was close for the fi rst 20 minutes before turning into an embarrassment for the Bulls and an embarrass-

ment of riches for the Heat. The Bulls were called for six player technicals, the most by any team in a playoff game since Boston had that many against Indiana in 2005.

The Heat had three techni-cals assessed, a season-high for them.

Game 3 is Friday in Chicago.Norris Cole scored 18 points

for Miami, which got 15 from Dwyane Wade and 13 from Chris Bosh. The Heat led 42-38 with 3:42 left in the fi rst half, before going on an absurd 62-20 run.

Yes, 62-20.

It was that one-sided. Miami shot 60 percent to Chicago’s 36, outrebounded the Bulls 41-28, and enjoyed a huge 28-7 edge in points off turnovers.

The only stat that Chicago dominated: Technicals.

For much of the fi rst half, it was everything one would ex-pect from a Bulls-Heat game, especially after Chicago took Game 1 on Monday night. It was physical and still close late in the second, quarter before the Heat ended the half on a 13-3 run. Miami outscored the Bulls 30-15 in the third, stretch-ing the lead out to 31 points.

Spotlight on DendreonDendreon’s first-quarter earnings should provide insight into how its sales of prostate cancer therapy Provenge are faring.

The biotech company, due to report its latest financial results today, has said that Provenge is being used more often in community oncology and urology practices. That helped increase sales of Provenge in the fourth quarter. Did the trend continue in Dendreon’s latest quarter?

Dish updateDish Network is trying to branch into wireless services as the growth in satellite TV viewing has dissipated.

That prompted the satellite-TV company last month to launch an unsolicited bid for wireless carrier Sprint Nextel, which has already agreed to sell itself to the Japa-nese company Softbank. Investors will be listening today for an update on the takeover bid, as well as the latest subscriber figures for Dish, when the company reports its latest quarterly results.

Restocking rebound?The Commerce Department reports March figures for stock-piles at the wholesale level today.

U.S. wholesalers cut their restocking in February by the most in 17 months. The decline was the first in eight months and the biggest since Septem-ber 2011, with farm products and gasoline leading the drop. Agricultural stockpiles have fallen in recent months because of a drought in the Midwest.

Corporate America continues to reward shareholders by raising dividends.

April was a particularly strong month. Three companies increased their annual dividend payments by a total of more than $1 billion: Apple ($1.5 billion), Exxon Mobil ($1.08 billion) and Wells Fargo ($1.05 billion). All told, 44 companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index announced increases last month, up from 30 in April 2012.

The latest dividend hikes have pushed total expected payments to $307 billion this year. That would be a record for the S&P 500 and a 7

percent increase over last year. Dividend payments hit a low in mid-2009 in

the wake of the financial crisis. The current payment level marks a 63 percent climb from that bottom, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. Senior Index Analyst Howard Silverblatt says cash payments could set a record this month.

One factor that’s helped fuel these increases is the amount of cash on corporate balance sheets. S&P 500 companies had a record $1.09 trillion at the end of the fourth quarter. Many companies are returning money to shareholders because their executives are reluctant to invest in expansion or to significantly add to payroll until there are clearer signs of a lasting economic recovery.

14 of the 30 stocks in the Dow have increased their

dividends this year.

NEW YORK — There’s no business like small busi-ness.

Mix the high stakes of running a small business with a dash of family drama and throw in a camera crew and you get hit reality tele-vision shows such as “Pawn Stars,” ‘‘Welcome to Sweetie Pie’s” and “Duck Dynasty.”

Turning small business owners into stars has be-come a winning formula for television producers, but some businesses fea-tured in them are cashing in, too. Sales explode af-ter just a few episodes air, transforming these nearly unknown small businesses into household names. In addition to earning a salary from starring in the shows, some small business own-ers are benefi ting fi nancial-ly from opening gift shops that sell souvenirs or get-ting involved in other ven-tures that spawn from their new-found fame.

Sales at Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas are fi ve times higher than they were before “Pawn Stars” fi rst aired in 2009. More people are pouring into the St. Louis restau-rant featured in “Welcome to Sweetie Pie’s” to eat its jumbo-sized fried chicken wings and six-cheese maca-roni and cheese. And Duck Commander, seen in “Duck Dynasty,” is having trouble controlling the crowds in

front of its headquarters in the small city of West Mon-roe, La.

“Sometimes it’s hard get-ting from the truck to the front door,” says Willie Robertson, who owns Duck Commander with his father and stars in the A&E series with his extended family.

It’s a big change for a company that sells duck calls out of a part-brick, part-cinder block ware-house on a dry, dead-end country road. Duck hunt-ers use the whistles, which mimic duck sounds, to at-

tract their prey.Since “Duck Dynasty” be-

gan airing in March 2012, Robertson fi nds at least 70 people waiting in front of the warehouse every morn-ing asking for autographs and photos. Neighbors have complained about the mobs and the police have been called.

Despite the trouble, the show has been good for the family business. Sales of the company’s duck calls, which range from $20 to $175, have skyrocketed. In 2011, the company sold

60,000 duck calls. In 2012, the year the show began airing, the company sold 300,000. “We saw a big difference as the Nielsen ratings went up,” says Rob-ertson.

Their income from do-ing the show may be going up along with the ratings. “Duck Dynasty” is the most watched documentary-style reality series on TV right now, according to Nielsen, which provides informa-tion and insight into what consumers watch and buy.

Reality TV stars: Small businessBY JOSEPH PISANI

Chef Jim Hollywood works in the kitchen at Sweetie Pie’s in St. Louis in June 2007. Turning small business owners into stars has become a winning formula for television producers, but some businesses featured in them are cashing in, too. Sales explode after just a few episodes air, transforming these nearly unknown small businesses into household names.

MINNEAPOLIS — Delta Air Lines will start paying a quarterly dividend and buy back some of its shares — investor-friendly moves common in other industries but rare for airlines.

For years, the industry re-pelled long-term investors with high debt, losses, labor strife, bankruptcies, and roller-coaster stock prices. Now, airline bosses are ea-ger to show that those days are over and their compa-nies are good investments.

“Airlines used to be boom and bust companies, ex-tremely risky. More airlines went out of business than earned a profi t,” said S&P Capital IQ analyst Jim Cor-ridore. “I think what Delta

did today is they made a huge statement that, at least for them, it’s a differ-ent story.”

Delta said Wednesday that the dividend and stock buyback will return $1 bil-lion to shareholders. The airline has posted a profi t for three straight years, while trimming its debt by $5 billion.

CEO Richard Anderson said Delta’s fi nancial plan “furthers our commitment to becoming the airline of choice for our employees, customers and sharehold-ers.”

Other airline CEOs have also spoken of measuring their company’s success by its return to shareholders.

“We are running United like a real business, for

long-term success,” said Jeff Smisek, CEO of United Continental Holdings Inc., on an April 25 investor con-ference call. But United has been losing money, and has had to give raises to em-ployees and spend money fi xing technology issues as it works through its 2010 merger with Continental. United said in a statement Wednesday that it is work-ing to achieve its goals for fi nancial returns “and will look to opportunities in the future” for other ways to spend its money.

US Airways Group Inc. is profi table, but has been fo-cused on its own proposed merger with American.

Of the large U.S. airlines, only Southwest Airlines Co. pays a dividend — one

penny per share per quar-ter. Southwest’s stability and consistent profi ts have helped it attract institution-al investors such as pen-sions, which have avoided other airlines because of their volatility.

J.P.Morgan analyst Ja-mie Baker wrote in a note to clients that Delta’s divi-dend and share repurchase should win over more insti-tutional investors, making its shareholder base more like Southwest’s. The moves should also boost Delta’s shares, Baker said.

He thinks United will fol-low Delta in a year or two, and the merged American sometime after that.

“We expect other man-agements will follow, or will have to answer to their

owners as to why not,” he wrote.

Delta will pay a quarter-ly dividend of 6 cents per share on Sept. 10 to people who own the stock on Aug. 9. The yield, a measure of how much a company pays out in dividends relative to its stock price, would be 1.3 percent, based on Wednes-day’s closing price.

The airline also plans to buy back $500 million of its stock by mid-2016. Buy-backs have the effect of re-turning cash to sharehold-ers because their shares then represent a bigger slice of the company and its prof-its.

Several companies have announced new or ex-panded share repurchases this year. Companies in

the Standard & Poor’s 500 index authorized $208 billion in buybacks in the fi rst quarter, and in April, Apple’s board authorized a $50 billion buyback, the largest ever.

Delta last paid a dividend in 2003. Airlines then were reeling from a slow econo-my, travel worries because of wars in Iraq and Afghani-stan, and high costs left over from better times.

Delta’s trip through bank-ruptcy court from 2005 to 2007 wiped out its share-holders. United, US Air-ways, and Northwest also went through bankruptcies in the 2000s. American Air-lines is in bankruptcy pro-tection now, and plans to emerge as part of its merger with US Airways. —AP

HOUSTON — Convicted ex-Enron Corp. CEO Jef-frey Skilling’s more than 24-year prison sentence for his role in the once mighty energy giant’s col-lapse could be reduced by as many as 10 years if a federal judge approves an agreement reached Wednesday between prosecutors and defense attorneys.

Under the agreement, which Justice Depart-ment offi cials say includes a previous court-ordered reduction of as much as nine years, Skilling’s orig-inal sentence will be re-duced to somewhere be-tween 14 and 17.5 years.

The agreement still has to be approved by U.S. District Judge Sim Lake, who is set to hold a June 21 hearing in Houston to make the fi nal decision on the length of Skilling’s sentence.

Daniel Petrocelli, Skill-ing’s attorney, says the agreement “brings cer-tainty and fi nality to a long, painful process.”

Justice Department spokesman Peter Carr said the agreement will allow victims of Enron’s collapse to fi nally receive more than $40 million in restitution. The ongoing status of the case has so

far prevented the govern-ment from distributing Skilling’s seized assets to victims, according to the agreement.

Skilling was convicted in 2006 on 19 counts of conspiracy, securities fraud, insider trading and lying to auditors for his role in the downfall of Houston-based Enron. The company collapsed into bankruptcy in 2001 under the weight of years of illicit business deals and accounting tricks.

Skilling has been in prison since December 2006 and is serving his sentence in a low security facility outside of Denver.

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld his convictions in 2009 but vacated his more than 24-year prison term and ordered that he be resen-tenced, saying a sentenc-ing guideline was improp-erly applied, resulting in a longer prison term.

The appeals court called for Skilling’s sentence to be reduced to somewhere between 15.6 years to 19.5 years.

Prosecutors agreed to a further reduction as part of their efforts to distrib-ute the $40 million in res-titution and resolve a case that’s been investigated and prosecuted for more than 10 years. —AP
