Thompson was competing for a spot in a crowded Los Angeles outfi eld that includes Chris Taylor, Yasiel Puig, Matt Kemp, Joc Pederson and Andrew Toles. Out of minor league options, he was designated for assignment Tuesday by the defending NL cham- pions to make room on the 40-man roster for right-hander Cory Mazzoni, who was claimed off waivers from the Chicago Cubs. The Dodgers have seven days to trade, release or send Thompson outright to the minors — fi rst exposing him to waivers. Thompson, who turned 27 this month, is likely to draw interest from other teams.“It was a tough, tough decision,” manager Dave Roberts said. “Trayce does a lot of things well. Just where our roster is and the opportunity, or lack thereof, (it) wasn’t going to happen. Being out of options, we had a tough decision to make. Also with Trayce, he’s a guy that needs to go out there and play. When he had his success with us here, it was in a two-month spurt where he got to play a lot on a nightly basis. We didn’t see that for him right now.”In 20 games this spring, Thompson batted .255 with one home run and two RBIs. He made a splash with the Dodgers in 2016, when he hit 13 home runs in 80 games. Roberts was asked what Pederson and Toles did to beat out Thompson.“Joc’s got a longer track record and has performed at a higher level for longer. That’s part of it. With Andrew, his ability to not have to play every day, more simple swing mechanic-wise. For one of those guys to not be in there every day, I think Andrew has a better chance than Trayce,” Roberts said. Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (0) goes to the basket against New Orleans Pelicans Thompson was informed of the decision before Roberts arrived forward Nikola Mirotic (3) in the rst half of an NBA basketball game in New Orleans, Tuesday, at Dodger Stadium for Tuesday night’s exhibition game against the Los Angeles Angels, and then Roberts called him.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Ivan Rakitic scored on a pen- alty kick in the second half, lifting depleted Croatia to a 1-0 win over Mexico on Tuesday night. The penalty was called after Mexico defender Miguel Layun, a halftime substitute, kicked Croatia’s Tin Jedvaj on the upper thigh in the 61st minute in the corner of the box. Rakitic’s penalty kick, low and to the left, just beat goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa. It was the first goal given up by Mexico in 350 minutes, including games against Poland, Bosnia and Iceland. Mexico suffered a setback in the first half when defender Nestor Araujo was taken to a hospital after sustaining a left knee injury in the 14th minute. Before the game, Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio criti- cized Croatia’s decision to release six of its top players: Luka Modric (Real Madrid), Mario Mandzukic (Juventus), Ivan Perisic (Inter Milan), Marcelo Brozovic (Inter Milan), Danijel Subasic (Monaco) and Nikola Kalinic (AC Milan). Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane had requested Modric return to the club, while the other players suffered bruises or minor injuries during Croatia’s 2-0 loss to Peru on Friday in Miami. Their absence left Croatia at far less than full strength and deprived Mexico of a tougher test in the last game before its final World Cup roster is announced.

(AP) — A water park company co-owner accused of rushing the world’s tallest waterslide into service and a designer accused of shoWednesday, March 28, 2018 planning were charged Tuesday in the decapitation of a 10-year-old boy on the ride in 2016. With the latest charges, three men connected with Texas-based Schlitterbahn Waterparks and Resorts and its park in Kansas City, Kansas, have been indicted by a Kansas grand jury, along with the park and the construction company that built the ride. Caleb Schwab died on the 17-story ride when the raft he was riding went airborne and hit an overhead loop. The Kansas attorney general’s office said Schlitterbahn co- owner Jeffrey Henry, 62, and designer John Schooley were charged with reckless second-degree murder, along with Henry & Sons Construction Co., which is described as the private construc- tion company of Schlitterbahn. Second-degree murder carries a sentence of 9 years to 41 years in prison. They also were charged with 17 other felonies, including aggravated battery and aggravated endangerment of a child counts tied to injuries other riders sustained on the giant slide, called Verruckt, which is German for “insane.” The indictment accuses Henry of making a “spur of the moment” decision to build the ride, and that he and Schooley lacked technical or engineering expertise in amusement park rides. Henry was ordered held in a Texas jail without bond Tuesday, pending extradition to Kansas. The attorney general’s office said Schooley is not in custody. Schooley didn’t have a listed phone number and no one answered the phone at Henry & Sons Con- struction Co. Eric B Terry, who represented the company in an earlier unrelated case, didn’t immediately return a phone or email message. The same grand jury last week indicted the Kansas City park and Tyler Austin Miles, its former operations manager, on 20 felony charges. The charges include a single count of involun- Tausala Lalelei o le Pase ka, Matauaina Toomalatai, i le Pasi ka Fest 2018 i Aukilani i Niu Sila tary manslaughter in Schwab’s death.

Then they got stagnant. It nearly cost them. They blew a 16-point, first-half lead and rallied from five down on a slew of 3s in the fourth to beat the Milwaukee Bucks 105-98 on Tuesday night and boost their playoff hopes. Tobias Harris scored 19 points, DeAndre Jordan had 12 points and 16 rebounds, and Lou Williams added 16 points off the bench. The Clippers hit six 3-pointers in the fourth, when they launched a 13-0 run to go back in front 96-88. They made 3-pointers on four straight possessions — by four different players — for a 105-96 lead. “Those really hurt,” Bucks coach Joe Prunty said. Los Angeles trails Minnesota by 1 ½ games for the eighth and final Western Conference berth with eight games to play. “We’re focused right now as much as I’ve ever seen,” said Austin Rivers, who scored 10 of his 13 points in the fourth. “We look at each game like it’s the last game. We don’t have too much room for error.” Milos Teodosic got their 3-point run going in the first quarter, when he made four of the Clippers’ seven 3-pointers. He left the game just before halftime after tweaking his left foot, which has Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams (23) dunks above Milwaukee Bucks guard Brandon been bothered by plantar fasciitis this season.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been married for a few months and are expecting our fi rst child. His father passed away about a year ago. His parents had been married 33 years when he died. A few weeks ago, we told my mother-in-law we were expecting our fi rst child. After a joyous moment and some conversation later about children, she brought up my husband’s half-brother, someone I didn’t know existed! My husband then said, “I thought we weren’t supposed to talk about him.” She told him my father-in-law had reached out to the half-brother before his death to make amends (she’d had no knowledge they were in contact), but while she was cleaning out his wallet she found a picture of him. Abby, I’m confused now about how to discuss this with my husband because I would love to know more details about his half-brother. I don’t know how old he is, or what happened (i.e., infi delity). Evidently, he lives close to us. We might have met before. My husband nor anyone in his family men- tioned this person, ever! Should I just leave it alone, or should I probe some more to see if I can get more information? -- PERPLEXED IN INDIANA DEAR PERPLEXED: It appears the existence of this half-sibling is the skeleton in your husband’s family closet. If I were you, I’d be careful about rattling it. Ask your husband if he’s willing to share what he knows. If he is interested in pursuing more information, offer to help him. But unless he is, I do not advise starting to dig. P.S. Because the father reached out to make amends, the half-brother may try to contact his sib- lings. But don’t count on it. DEAR ABBY: I have been married for four months. My husband and I love each other very much. Although he has asked me multiple times for sex, we have only made love twice. My problem is, sex doesn’t interest me. In fact, the thought of it terrifi es me. I hate saying no because I know it hurts him, but I’m always scared that I won’t enjoy it. Or that if I do say yes, I’ll feel like it’s a chore just to make him happy. I know that’s the wrong mindset to have going into it. I have apologized almost every time I turn him down. He always says I don’t need to be sorry and we’ll only do it when I’m comfortable, but I’m scared I might not ever be comfortable with it. Plus I have doubts that I’ve ever had an orgasm. How should I approach this? -- SCARED NEWLYWED DEAR SCARED: If you had experienced an orgasm, I assure you that you would not have forgotten the experience. You need to have at least two honest conversations -- the fi rst with your husband, the second with your gynecologist. Your problem may be physical, emotional or a combination of the two. A licensed psychologist can help you fi gure out the reason for your feelings and resolve them, or refer you and your husband to a sex therapist. The only thing you should NOT do is wait any longer to deal with this. samoa news, Wednesday, March 28, 2018 Page B15 Page B16 samoa news, Wednesday, March 28, 2018 Sewage leak spills onto fi eld during game at Dodger Stadium By JILL PAINTER LOPEZ, mess pooling near the Dodgers’ Associated Press dugout in foul territory as the LOS ANGELES (AP) grounds crew spread a drying — Spring training came to a agent and worked to clean up. repulsive end Tuesday night at “I’m not going to tell you Dodger Stadium. what it really was,” Dodgers C M The exhibition fi nale between outfi elder Andrew Toles said.

Umpire crew chief Gerry Davis announced the delay as offi cials tried to determine if it was a stadium or city issue. “Apparently, there was a pipe backup on two different levels of the stadium,” Dodgers president and CEO Stan Kasten said after the game. “We don’t know exactly where the backup was, or what caused it. It had something to do with a main pipe here, as well as main pipe outside the stadium.” Kasten was unsure if the Dodgers would refund fans, but said offi cials would discuss the situation on Wednesday. Because the losing team had at least fi ve chances to bat, the fi nal score and statistics will count as an offi cial game in spring training records. Matt Kemp homered in the fourth to give the Dodgers a 4-3 lead. “You can always say you’ve seen everything, but we haven’t seen something like that,” Angels manager Mike Sci- oscia said. “It’s unfortunate.
