BARK WORSE
THAN HIS BANG
MOUNTAIN HOME, Ark.
(AP) — An Arkansas veterinarian has kept a dog from
going out with a bang after
the animal ate 23 live rifle
rounds.
The Baxter Bulletin reports
that 4-year-old Belgian
Malinois, Benno, had surgery
last week to remove the .308
caliber ammunition from his
stomach.
Owner Larry Brassfield
says Benno has eaten socks,
magnets and marbles but he
didn't expect the animal
would bother a bag of bullets
by his bed. Brassfield and his
wife realized Benno needed
medical attention after the pet
vomited up four rounds.
The vet removed 17 rounds
from Benno's stomach but left
two in his esophagus, which
the dog was allowed to discharge on his own. Brassfield
says he won't leave ammo
lying around anymore.

PAWTUCKET – Arti and Shekhar
Mehta would love to see Main Street
thrive, and as the owners of Artee
Fabrics & Home, they believe their
business and their building — located at 228 Main St. — can be a catalyst in the revitalization of the city's
downtown area.
The fabric store and the soon-tobe occupied property above the shop
were visited on Friday morning by
Gov. Gina Raimondo, Mayor Donald
R. Grebien, and other city officials
as part of a discussion on
Raimondo's jobs plan.
Shekhar Mehta said that Artee
Fabrics has been in the space on
Main Street since 2009. They rehabilitated a building that was “not in
good condition … bringing it back to
life,” doing so during the bleakest
periods of the recession, noting “we
took the chance.”
Shekhar Mehta said he hoped to
see Artee Fabrics become “the seed”
that brings life to the entire downtown area.
“We're hoping to get more activity, more positive things. If there's
100 more people, that's 100 more
opportunities,” Shekhar Mehta said.
“It's for everybody.”
Arti Mehta explained that the plan
is to “get all of Main Street up,” noting that it takes cooperation between
the businesses and city and state
officials to make it happen.
“Where there's a will, there's a
way,” she said, later adding, “To
make something work, you need to
have two hands shaking each other.
One hand can't do all the work.”
Arti Mehta said their property –
which houses Artee Fabrics & Home
on the first floor and this summer
will house a yoga studio on the second floor and nursing teaching faciliSee TOUR, Page A2
PAWTUCKET – Reports
late Friday indicated that the
16-month-old boy who was
struck by a vehicle driven
by his father earlier this
week has died.
Police detectives interviewed the father of the boy
– identified by Pawtucket
Police as Maxwell Teixeira
Det. Sgt. Paul Brandley said
on Wednesday. They reported in a statement that “at
this time, it (the incident)
appears to be a tragic accident.”
However, police noted
the investigation was ongoing.
At about 2:20 p.m.
Tuesday, police and fire personnel responded to 829
Main St. for a report of a
toddler struck by a vehicle.
Officers and rescue personnel arriving at the scene
found the boy seriously
injured, but details about his
injuries were not released.
The infant was accidentally struck by his father as
he went to move the vehicle, police later said, adding
that family members and
other witnesses say the
boy's father was backing out
of the driveway and didn't
see the child who may have
been playing with a toy.
The boy was transported
to Hasbro Children's
Hospital in critical condition.
Officers located video
footage, which was
reviewed by detectives, captured on a nearby surveillance camera. The video
footage supports the
accounts relayed to detectives, police said.

CENTRAL FALLS – A city man
on Wednesday was found guilty of
two counts of first-degree sexual
assault stemming from an incident in
2014 in which he sexually assaulted
a woman he believed at the time to
be his biological daughter, the
Attorney General's Office said.
A Providence County Superior
Court jury also found the man –
Ernest Sabourin, 75, with a last
known address on Earle Street in
Central Falls – guilty of one count of
second-degree sexual assault and two

counts of simple assault.
During the course of the trial, the
state proved that on April 5, 2014
and into the morning of April 6,
2014, Sabourin sexually assaulted a
23-year-old woman, who at the time
he believed to be his biological
daughter, the AG's office said.
On April 5, the woman went to a
party with relatives where she consumed “a significant amount of alcohol,” the AG's office said. Partygoers
transported her to Sabourin's home,
where she passed out on the couch.

Danny Domenic Folco, 33,

Police investigated a complaint of a couple having sex in

Obama pitches trade at Nike
with jobs, labor rights at issue
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP)
— President Barack
Obama's case for international trade agreements is
built on three main arguments: The right trade deal
can create jobs at home,
counter China's economic
influence abroad and raise
labor and environmental
standards by U.S. trading
partners.
A visit to Nike headquarters on Friday allows
Obama to address at least
two of the three.
The giant athletic apparel
company is pledging to create 10,000 jobs in the
United States over 10 years
with its manufacturing partners if Congress gives
Obama "fast-track" trade
negotiating authority that
ultimately leads to the 12country Trans-Pacific free
commerce agreement.
The company says a
Trans-Pacific trade deal
would allow it to benefit
from lower tariffs on shoes
and speed up company
investments in footwear
manufacturing in the U.S.
But the 10,000 jobs
would be a small fraction of
the overseas workforce Nike
relies for manufacturing. Of
Nike's slightly more than 1
million factory contract
workers, more than 9 out of
10 are in Asia, with the
largest number in low-wage
Vietnam.
Nike, with such massive
outsourcing of manufacturing, also provides Obama
with an opportunity to talk
about labor standards he
seeks to enforce with trade
partners, particularly
Vietnam where the U.S.
concedes that worker-rights
protections fall short of
international standards. Of
the 11 countries the U.S. is
negotiating with in the
Trans-Pacific talks, seven
have manufacturers that
contract with Nike for shoes
or apparel.
Still, Obama's visit to
Oregon has created a backlash. Nike represents what
many liberal groups and
labor unions criticize about
trade deals: the potential for
shifting U.S. jobs to other
countries with cheap labor
and few worker protections.
What's more, Nike has had
to overcome a bad image
over its foreign contractors.
Outside a Democratic
Party fundraiser Thursday
night, more than 200 protesters greeted the president's arrival with chants of:
"Hey, hey, ho, ho, fast track
has got to go." Under the
authority Obama wants,
Congress could accept or
reject a trade agreement, but
not amend it.
Two decades ago, Nike
came under heavy criticism
for its use of foreign sweatshops, including numerous
reports of child labor, low
wages and poor working
conditions. Under intense
public pressure, Nike
improved conditions and
eventually wages climbed,
minimum-age requirements
were put in place and Nike
increased training and monitoring at the factories.
"We've made significant
improvements and driven
positive change for workers
in contract factories that
make Nike product," Nike
spokesman Greg Rossiter
said in a statement to The
Associated Press.
Despite the advances and
Nike's image makeover,
labor issues have continued
to plague its contracted
manufacturers. An
Associated Press investigation in 2011 found that
workers making Nikeowned Converse sneakers in
Indonesia said supervisors
abused them physically and
verbally. And in its latest
report on "sustainable business performance" Nike
found that one-third of its
contract manufacturers in
2013 did not meet its minimum standards — an
improvement over 2011
when half of the manufacturers fell short. Most of the
problems were over hours
and wages.
"Nike fully supports the
inclusion of strong labor
provisions because we
believe they will drive higher industry standards and
create economic growth that
benefits everyone," Nike's
Rossiter said.
But a Government
Accountability Office report
last year found that while
some Latin American countries under current free-trade
agreements have taken steps
to strengthen labor rights,
enforcement was limited
and monitoring of labor
standards in those countries
by U.S. agencies was inconsistent.
Rep. Earl Blumenauer, a
Democrat who represents
Portland and is supporting
Obama's trade agenda, is
pushing for an enforcement
trust fund to improve oversight.
"I agree enforcement is a
problem," Blumenauer said.
"I'm not through trying to
make it better."
Justice Dept. launches its own
investigation of Baltimore police
WASHINGTON (AP) —
The Justice Department
waded anew Friday into
fraught, big city police-community relations, with new
Attorney General Loretta
Lynch declaring the subject
"one of the most challenging
issues of our time." She
announced a wide-ranging
investigation into Baltimore's
police.
The federal civil rights
investigation, which city officials sought following the
death last month of a man in
police custody, will search
for discriminatory policing
practices and examine allegations that Baltimore officers too often use excessive
force and make unconstitutional searches and arrests.
The investigation is to
build upon the government's
voluntary and collaborative
review of the Baltimore
police that began last year.
Since then, the death of 25year-old Freddie Gray and
the days of rioting that followed exposed a "serious
erosion of public trust,"
Lynch said, and showed that
community concerns about
the police were more pervasive than initially understood
and that a broader investigation was warranted.
"It was clear to a number
of people looking at this situation that the community's
rather frayed trust — to use
an understatement — was
even worse and has, in
effect, been severed in terms
of the relationship with the
police department," Lynch
said.
The announcement indicated that Lynch, who was
sworn in last week as the
successor to Eric Holder, is
likely to keep the Justice
Department engaged in a
national dialogue about race
relations and law enforcement. That issue consumed
the final year of Holder's
tenure and flared most vividly last summer following the
shooting death of an
unarmed black 18-year-old
by a Ferguson, Missouri,
police officer.
The federal department
has undertaken dozens of
other city police investigations, including more than 20
during Holder's tenure. If

they find systemic civil
rights violations, the investigations typically result in
court-enforceable agreements
between the federal government and the local community that serve as blueprints for
change and are overseen by
an independent monitor. The
Justice Department has the
option of suing a police
department that is unwilling
to make changes.
In some cases, such as in
Ferguson — where Justice
found sweeping patterns of
racial discrimination — the
federal government has initiated the process on its own;
in others, including in
Cleveland and Albuquerque,
New Mexico, city officials
made the request.
A separate Justice
Department review of
Baltimore police policies, by
the Community Oriented
Police Services office, will
continue but its findings will
be folded into the new civil
rights investigation
announced on Friday, Lynch
said.
Lynch visited Baltimore
earlier this week to meet
with city and community
leaders as well as Gray's
family.
"We're talking about generations, not only of mistrust,
but generations of communities that feel very separated
from government overall,"
she said on Friday. "So
you're talking about situations where there's a flashpoint occurrence that coalesces years of frustration
and anger. That's what I
think you saw in Baltimore."

Raimondo, Grebien, and the myriad officials toured the first two floors of the
building Friday afternoon. After the tour,
Raimondo said she felt it was “extremely
important” to have businesses and owners
who are invested in their community and
the revitalization of a downtown area.
“Rhode Island needs an economic comeback, and everybody has a role to play, and
that includes our local businesses,”
Raimondo said. “They need also to step up
and be part of the comeback and we're so
lucky to have businesses like Artee and
others that say 'We want to invest. We want
to invest in Pawtucket. We want to invest
in Rhode Island'.”
“And then our job – my job and the
mayor's job – is to make Rhode Island a
place that is easy to do business and not
expensive to do business so that they do
want to invest,” the governor added.
Raimondo said she has proposed a comprehensive jobs plan to the local General
Assembly, which could help along the
process of revitalizing economies across
the Ocean State.
The plan “includes programs around
training people, programs to jump start real
estate development, getting rid of regulations that are burdensome, making it easier
to get permits … So we have to make it
easier and cheaper to do business in Rhode
Island. If we do that, then businesses will
want to expand here and add jobs here,”
Raimondo added.

Arti Mehta later said she would much
rather try to rehabilitate an older building
in a downtown area than move into a
brand-new building at a state-of-the-art
shopping plaza.
“It's easy to destroy old buildings and
build new ones … this gives a lot of character … you have to put in the effort,” Arti
Mehta said.
The property on Main Street is in an
ideal location, Arti Mehta said, offering
“beautiful architecture.”
While in Pawtucket Friday, Raimondo
also briefly discussed the proposal that
would move the Pawtucket Red Sox to a
new riverfront ballpark in Providence.
“As I've said, I would love it if the
PawSox could stay in Rhode Island, but at
what price is the question. And my job is to
protect the taxpayers, and I'm trying to go
slow and be thoughtful to make sure the
taxpayers get a good deal,” the governor
said.
Raimondo also said that she and Grebien
discussed what the future could hold for
McCoy Stadium if and when the team does
depart from Pawtucket.
“We talked a little bit about it.
Obviously, as the mayor of Pawtucket, he
cares deeply about this and he hasn't totally
given up. He wants to continue to talk to
the owners about the possibility of them
staying here, but he's also thinking about it
the right way, which is if they won't stay
here, then what's the highest and best use
of McCoy, and I think that's the right way
to think about it,” Raimondo said.

Brown called the Los

• Governor, Senate
President open new state
pier at Fort Adams
Gov. Gina M. Raimondo
and President of the Senate
M. Teresa Paiva Weed (DDist. 13, Newport,
Jamestown), along with
Department of
Environmental Management
Director Janet Coit, officially
opened the new public pier at
Fort Adams State Park in
Newport. Construction on
the pier began in April 2014
to improve public access to
Narragansett Bay. The 240foot-long pier — with seven
rows of floating docks and a
public pump-out station —
was funded through the
state’s annual capital
improvement program. The
new North Pier is one of several capital improvements at
Fort Adams, and the opening
of the pier coincided with the
arrival of the Volvo Ocean
Race yachts, their crews and
race enthusiasts. The Volvo
teams are expected to stay in
Newport until mid-May, and
then head out on the next leg
of the race that began last
October.
• Legislation enacting

2015-S 876) to enact the
terms proposed in a potential
settlement of unions’ lawsuit
over the state’s 2011 changes
to the state employee pension
system. The settlement,
which would provide small
cost-of-living increases and
changes to retirement-age
requirements, must be
approved by the General
Assembly to take effect.

PROVIDENCE – With
the General Assembly in
the middle of its work on a
new state budget, a few
topics, such as what to do
with the state heath care
exchange set up under the
federal Affordable Care
Act, remain to be decided.
The state heath care
exchange is one of the articles in Gov. Gina M.
Raimondo’s proposed
budget that faces changes
from the General Assembly
before the budget process
closes.
Federal operational support for the state exchange
is winding down in the current budget and the state
would have to appropriate
a sum of money as a new
budget line item to keep
the exchange a state operation. The alternative is for
the state to modify the current system and rely on the
federally-operated
exchange as the source for
individual and small group
coverage now managed by
the state exchange,
HealthSource RI.
House Speaker Nicholas
A. Mattiello pointed to the
health exchange as a potential budget concern while
discussing the status of the
House’s budget work this
week.
Mattiello said the House
will be looking at certain
aspects of the governor’s
budget articles for potential
change as the budget work
continues.
Mattiello noted he has
already promised to restore
busing services and books
for Rhode Island private
and parochial schools that
were cut by the governor,
and also plans to reverse a
new state tax on second
homes, valued at over $1
million.
The House leadership
will also be taking a close
look at Raimondo’s proposed job creation plan
under Article 29, Mattiello
noted.
“I’ve always said I
applaud the governor and I
agree with her on incentives for job creation,”
Mattiello said. “And the
governor and myself will
ultimately be on the same
page regarding that, but I
think we need more controls and a little refining
and tweaking of the provisions in that article and that
is an ongoing discussion.”

pawtuckettimes.com
Mattiello added that he
plans to continue working
with the governor and
Senate President M. Teresa
Paiva Weed to “make a
good proposal that much
better.”
As for HealthSource RI,
Mattiello said from his
view “the state system has
to be competitive in cost
with the federal system or
even less expensive than
the federal system.”
“So I have to be convinced that it would
become competitive and
that it will remain competitive for the long term in
order for it to remain a
state agency, and I’m not
convinced right now,”
Mattiello said.
It may be that the current system will have to
transition to the federal
system,” Mattiello said.
Under Raimondo’s
budget proposal, a new
state “assessment” on
health care premiums for
small employers and individuals would generate an
expected $11.8 million, of
which $6.2 million would
go to covering the costs of
running HealthSource RI in
2015 along with expiring
federal support. The new
funding would replace the
federal assistance that had
been in place to get the
program up and running.
The state expected the following year’s operating
costs for HealthSource RI
to again total $11.8 million.
The state program currently serves 30,001 individuals and another 10,000
customers under the small
group market. Individual
plans obtained by participants would be charged a
4.7 percent assessment

under the proposed budget
changes. and group market
plans just under 1 percent.
Paiva Weed said
Thursday that the health
exchange currently exists
through an executive order
and she does not believe
that setup provides enough
oversight in running the
exchange.
And while the exchange
would be state-funded for
the first time in the coming
budget, Paiva Weed said
the method of generating
that revenue may need
more work.
“I am concerned about
the assessments in that program and I think we should
look at alternative funding
methods,” she said.
“I believe in the state
exchange if the program is
structured to provide the
legislature with the necessary oversight,” she said.
State Sen. Joshua Miller
(D-Dist. 20, Cranston),
chairman of the Senate
Committee on Health and
Human Services, said the
question before the General
Assembly this year may be
how it can fund the most
“accessible and user friendly’ method of providing
affordable health care to
Rhode Islanders seeking
such coverage.
“I think the most effective exchange for Rhode
Island is not necessarily the
least expensive model,” he
said. And while some have
pointed to transitioning to
the federal program as a
way to lower the cost of
the coverage provided,
Miller said the federal system also has the potential
“to be as expensive or
more expensive that the
state exchange.”

THE TIMES — Saturday, May 9, 2015
Everyone should
stop judging poor moms
About 30 percent of low-income parents
can't afford to change their children's diapers frequently enough, according to a Yale
University study. My organization,
National Diaper Bank Network, helps distribute diapers to those families in need.
But in the course of doing this work, we
sometimes encounter people who are
appalled by our effort: One man called me
screaming that impoverished moms should
"just use newspaper!" to diaper their
infants. In letters and phone calls, others
have accused us of encouraging mothers to
keep "breeding." (Barnyard animals breed,
mind you. Women have babies.) Our critics
believe the women who come to us are bad
mothers who should not have had children
in the first place. (We rarely get criticism
of fathers, as if women become pregnant
all by themselves.) They find the fact that
we are helping these mothers offensive.
It's not just diapers. The tendency to
brand low-income moms as "bad" extends
to how they feed their children (no candy!)
and entertain them (no swimming!). But
these perspectives make me wonder: What
makes a mother bad?
I'm a middle-class mom who has absentmindedly sent my kids to school without
lunch and missed deadlines for permission
slips. And, like low-income parents who
struggle to pay for diapers, there are
aspects of motherhood that I wasn't prepared for, either. I had a child with a chronic illness, and we had her on ineffective
treatment for a long time. Most would
agree that making sure your child gets
proper medical care is fundamental to
being a good parent, but it took years
before we got her the care she needed.
And yet, no one has ever accused me of
being a bad mother. Money covered my
many shortcomings. Those late permission
slips could be faxed in because I had a
landline and a fax machine, and because I
was fortunate enough to send my kids to an
adequately staffed school that had the time
to help out busy parents. And because we
could afford it, my husband and I went to
specialist after specialist until we found the
best care for our daughter. In many small
ways every day, middle-class resources
eased the pressures of raising three kids.
I'm proud of the people my kids grew up to
be, but while some of that is a result of
them being inherently terrific human
beings who were loved and supported, it
also comes from simply having enough
money and resources to keep our busy
lives running relatively smoothly.
Contrast that with the moms who rely
on diaper banks to keep their babies clean,
dry and healthy. Most child-care centers
require a family to provide a supply of disposable diapers. Families who can't afford
them can't get child care, which means the
parents can't work. And so parents are
branded as lazy and unmotivated, and are
accused of exploiting the system. Kids
from low-income homes miss school
because their parents can't afford detergent
to clean their uniforms, or because they
need to babysit younger siblings while
their parents apply for jobs. If you don't
send your kids to school, it doesn't necessarily mean you're a bad parent — it often
means you have only bad options.
America is big on the idea of pulling
yourself up by your bootstraps. But raising
a family on a low-wage job can leave you
strapless. Diapers for one infant cost an
average of $18 a week, or $936 a year. For
GUEST COMMENTARY
By Joanne Samuel Goldblum
parents with minimum-wage jobs, making
$15,080 a year, diapers alone eat up about
six percent of their paychecks. Meanwhile,
public support has provided less and less
help, even as diapers and other child-care
prices have risen. Some forms of federal
assistance have not kept pace with inflation, according to the Center on Budget
and Policy Priorities. The nonpartisan
research institute, in a review of the
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
program (established by the 1996 welfare
reform law), wrote, "The amount of cash
assistance provided to families has eroded
in almost every state, leaving families
without sufficient funds to meet their most
basic needs."
When families cannot meet their most
basic needs, kids show up to school looking "neglected," because they aren't wearing the proper clothes for the weather.
Parents miss school appointments because
they can't afford bus fare. And babies go an
entire day or longer without a diaper
change because families need to make their
diapers last. Child-care providers even
have developed a phrase — "Monday
morning rash" — to describe how babies
from low-income families sometimes
arrive after a weekend of infrequent diaper
changes. These problems are not evidence
of bad parenting but of bad public policy.
None of this, of course, satisfies those
who say that people should not have kids
they cannot afford. They don't acknowledge that poverty often comes after the
children are already born. I am struck by
how often I encounter families who were
financially stable before a catastrophic illness hit. (Medical costs are the most common cause of bankruptcy in the United
States.) My organization also talks with
families who have been brought down by
long-term layoffs and with women who
were pulled into poverty when they left
abusive relationships. Everybody has a
story, and passing judgment based only on
what you see a parent buying at the grocery store or picking up at a diaper bank is
never a good idea.
On Mother's Day, many moms do not
get taken out to brunch or presented with
potted plants. For them, Mother's Day is
just like any other day — a struggle to get
by. There is one gift we can collectively
give them, though: We can stop judging.
We can throw away the good mother/bad
mother distinction. We can recognize that
most mothers genuinely want to do what is
best for their children. It is simply much
easier for some of us than for others.

As others see it: Terrorism
The following editorial appeared in
Friday's Washington Post:
There is no doubt that Kenya merits
U.S. support as a frontline state in the war
against terror. But some of Nairobi's rhetorical and policy responses to that challenge
could stifle civil society and inflame the
conditions that fuel radicalization.
Last month, members of the Somali
Islamist terror group al-Shabab conducted
a horrific attack at a university in Garissa,
gunning down nearly 150 people, including
142 students. The terrorists sought out
young Christians to be murdered. The massacre came some two years after alShabab's rampage at the Westgate shopping
mall in Nairobi, which left 67 dead.
Garissa was the worst terror attack in the
country since the 1998 bombing of the
U.S. Embassy in Nairobi.
The gruesome Garissa attack refocused
the world's attention on the murderous
exploits of al-Shabab — and on the difficult challenges Kenya faces in combating
the group. A long, porous border with
Somalia is one such challenge. The nation
deserves Western backing to meet the
threat. But it's important that Kenya not
react in ways that aggravate the danger.
Kenya's deputy president, William Ruto,
called upon the United Nations in April to
close the Dadaab refugee camp near the
border with Somalia. Dadaab, which was
set up in 1991 after Somalia's political collapse, is home to more than 400,000
Somalis and is the largest refugee camp in
the world. Ruto gave the U.N. High
Commissioner for Refugees 90 days to
close the camp before Kenya forcibly relocates it.
Such rhetoric serves only to alienate and
further marginalize Kenya's Somali population, exacerbating the divisions, both religious and ethnic, that al-Shabab exploits.
In a visit to Kenya this week, Secretary of
State John F. Kerry rightly said the solution
lies in solving Somalia's problems, not in
closing the camp. The United States
pledged $45 million in additional funding
to assist UNHCR refugee programs in
Kenya. On Wednesday, Kenyan President
Uhuru Kenyatta backtracked on the threat
to close the camp, saying that Kenya "has
been and will continue fulfilling its international obligations."
The United States should focus concern
on Kenya's tightening control over civil
society and media under the pretext of
fighting terrorism. In December, Kenya's
government deregistered more than 500
nongovernmental organizations, freezing
bank accounts and canceling foreign work
permits.
Restrictive laws have impeded the
media's ability to report on the government's security tactics. NGOs and journalists that criticize Kenya's counterterror
strategy risk reprisals. Kenyan police
forces and their anti-terror unit have been
accused of committing serious human
rights abuses with impunity, including
extrajudicial killings and violent raids on
Somali-Kenyan communities.
Mr. Kerry's visit to Kenya and surprise
trip to Somalia, along with President
Obama's planned visit to his father's homeland in July, signal an increased engagement with the region. The engagement is
welcome, but it must include a clear message that respect for human rights and civil
society is essential to an effective counterterrorism strategy.
Populism could divide the
Grand Old Party
If Republicans are baffled by Hillary
Clinton’s persistent lead in the polls despite
months of bad publicity, they need only
examine the tensions on display in their
party over the past few days.
It would be hard to conceive of a worse
stretch for Clinton than a
period that began with
scrutiny of her use of a
private email server
while she was secretary
of state and moved to
saturation coverage of
the Clinton Foundation’s
fundraising. Let’s stipulate first that her trustworthiness has taken a
E.J. Dionne
hit. In addition, it should
always be said that polls
this early are not predictive of next year’s
election and that Clinton’s nearly universal
name recognition helps her numbers.
Nonetheless, there was the Wall Street
Journal/NBC News poll released Monday,
showing Clinton ahead of both Jeb Bush
and Marco Rubio by six points, Scott
Walker by 10 and Rand Paul by three.
The New York Times/CBS News poll,
released a day later, showed what the GOP
is up against: Only 29 percent of Americans
had a favorable view of the Republican
Party, while 43 percent had a positive view
of the Democrats.
The survey also documented a steady but
little-noticed trend: Americans are becoming less conservative. In the fall of 2010,
the Times/CBS poll found, there were twice
as many self-described conservatives as liberals: 19 percent of Americans called themselves liberal, 38 percent called themselves
conservative. In the latest poll, liberals
stood at 25 percent, conservatives at 33 percent. In less than five years, a 19-point margin has shrunk to eight points.
Republicans and conservatives have a
brand problem. Their presidential campaign
will only aggravate it as candidates are
forced to double-down on an ideology that
is in danger of decline. Moreover, the next
year is likely to intensify deep stresses
inside their coalition. Mike Huckabee gleefully highlighted these frictions when he
announced his presidential candidacy, and
Clinton moved quickly to exploit them.
If Democrats have a problem with white
working-class voters, Huckabee brought
home how Republicans have challenges of
their own. While the GOP’s candidates fall
all over themselves to cater to ultra-rich
donors whose taxes the Republican hopefuls promise to cut, the party’s rank-and-file
have reason to wonder what’s in all this for
them. This is a real predicament for a party
whose money base is privileged but whose
loyalists are not. In a Washington Post/ABC
News survey in late March, 37 percent of
registered voters who identified themselves
as Republican earned less than $50,000 a
year. Another 34 percent earned between
$50,000 and $100,000 a year.
Huckabee spoke directly to these voters
on Tuesday. “I grew up blue-collar, not
blue-blood,” he declared. “I never have
been and won’t be the favorite candidate of
those in the Washington-to-Wall Street corridor of power.” His campaign, he added,
“will be funded and fueled not by billionaires but by working people across
America.”
It made you wonder: Is there an
Elizabeth Warren wing of the Republican
Party?
The big-money groups, starting with
Club for Growth Action, went to work
immediately to knock Huckabee aside.
Raising the class contradictions inside the
GOP coalition — as both Rick Santorum
and Newt Gingrich did with Mitt Romney
— is the last thing the party’s billionaire
caucus wants.
Republicans typically try to keep their
working-class voters onside by appealing to
them on social issues and immigration.
That’s why Clinton’s sideswipe at the
Republican field on the immigration issue
was a sophisticated form of wedge politics.
“Not a single Republican candidate,
announced or potential, is clearly and consistently supporting a path to citizenship”
for illegal immigrants, she said Tuesday in a
speech in Las Vegas. “Not one.”
Her goal was to put pressure especially
on Rubio and Bush. They hope to shore up
the GOP share among Latino voters, who
went 71 percent for President Obama in
2012. But both are in a box because, while
57 percent of all Americans favored a path
to citizenship in the latest Times/CBS poll,
only 38 percent of Republicans did. It’s no
wonder that their respective trumpets on the
immigration question have given a decidedly uncertain sound.
Republicans hope that if they can just stir
up enough doubts about Clinton, one of
their candidates will make it through in
2016. Perhaps this can work. But their antiClinton focus will do little to resolve the
underlying weaknesses of an ideology and a
party that, even against a 67-year-old
Democrat, do not look like the wave of the
future.

Marcia Brown;
children’s book
illustrator
NEW YORK (AP) —
Marcia Brown, a celebrated
author and illustrator of children's books and three-time
Caldecott Medal winner
whose work ranged from the
bold strokes of “Once a
Mouse” to the more abstract
and lyrical sketches of
“Cinderella,” has died.
Brown died April 28 of
congestive heart failure at her
home in Laguna Hills,
California, publisher Simon
& Schuster announced
Friday. She was 96.
Brown won the Caldecott,
the highest honor for children's picture books, for
“Cinderella,” “Once a
Mouse” and “Shadow.” She
was a National Book Award
nominee in 1983 for
“Shadow” and in 1992
received a Laura Ingalls
Wilder Award for lifetime
achievement.
She is survived by her editor and longtime companion
Janet Loranger.
A native of Rochester,
New York, she had dreamed
of being an artist since childhood, but decided at first that
teaching was a safer choice.
She majored in English at the
New York State College for
Teachers (now the University
of Albany) and taught high
school English for three
years, continuing to paint
during the summer. She later
studied art at the New School
for Social Research and
absorbed the narratives of
children's books while working at the New York Public
Library.

THE TIMES A5
WASHINGTON, D.C. —
Marjorie R. Townsend, an electrical
engineer who became the first
woman to manage a U.S. spacecraft
launch, died April 4 at a hospital.
She was 85.
A spokeswoman for the D.C.
Medical Examiner’s Office said the
cause of death has not been determined.
In 1959, Townsend was one of
the first female engineers to join
NASA. In the next decade, she
became the first female spacecraft
project manager at NASA’s
Goddard Space Flight Center in
Greenbelt, Maryland.
From the mid-1960s to 1975, she
managed the agency’s small astronomy satellite program, where she
was responsible for the design, construction, testing and orbital operations of NASA’s first astronomical
spacecrafts.
Most notably, she oversaw the
development and launch of Uhuru,
the world’s first X-ray astronomy
satellite. The space instrument,
launched in 1970 in Kenya, was
used to detect, survey and map
celestial X-ray sources and gamma
ray emissions. It was the first U.S.
spacecraft to be launched by another
country (Italy) in a foreign location

Physics project manager Henry

(the coast of Kenya).
According to the American
Association for the Advancement of
Science, the findings from the
Uhuru launch “quadrupled the number of X-ray sources known at the
time.”
"It was a really important
moment in the history of astronomy,” Josh Grindlay, a professor of
practical astronomy at Harvard
University, told the science association. The data collected from Uhuru
helped revolutionize the field of
high-energy astronomy and astrophysics, which examines the universe in terms of wavelengths and
examines high-energy phenomenon
such as black holes.
Townsend served as the program
manager for NASA’s applications
explorer missions program before
retiring in 1980. For her contributions, she received the agency’s
Exceptional Service Medal and
Outstanding Leadership Medal.
Marjorie Trees Rhodes was born
on March 12, 1930, in Washington.
Her father was an engineer and
inventor. She enrolled in college at
age 15 and, in 1951, became the
first woman to receive an engineering degree from George Washington
University.
“The thought seems to lurk in
people’s minds that women go into
a man’s field to catch a husband. In
fact, there was a wager on the line
when I went to school that I would
get married and never graduate,”
she told The Washington Post in
1957. “That gentleman had to pay”
up.
Early on, she was a physical science aide at what is now the
National Institute of Standards and
Technology. and worked on sonar
signal-processing mechanisms for
anti-submarine warfare at the Naval
Research Laboratory.
She moved to NASA’s Goddard
Flight Center in 1959 and helped
develop the first successful weather
satellites, including TIROS-1 and
the Nimbus satellite series.
After her retirement, she worked
with Washington-area government
contractors. She was director of
space systems engineering at BDM
International, and then vice president for space systems development
for Space America until her second
retirement in 1996.
She was named a Knight of the
Italian Republic Order for her contributions to U.S.-Italian space
efforts in 1972. She was also chairman of a local chapter of the
American Institute of Aeronautics
and Astronautics, past president of
the Washington Academy of
Sciences, and a fellow of the
Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers.
Her husband of 53 years, Charles
Townsend, died in 2001. Survivors
include four sons, Charles “Chet”
Townsend Jr. of Fort Denaud,
Florida., John Townsend of Ellicott
City, Maryland, and Lewis
Townsend and Richard Townsend,
both of Potomac, Maryland.; 11
grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren.
Guy Carawan; promoted ‘We Shall Overcome’ as civil rights anthem
By EMILY LANGER
The Washington Post
The tempo marking for
“We Shall Overcome” reads
“moderately slow with
determination.” Slowly but
with determination — and
with help from folk musician Guy Carawan — is how
that song was transformed
from age-old spiritual to
labor protest music to the
anthem of the civil rights
movement.
Carawan, who died May
2 at 87, served for decades
as a leader of what is now
the Highlander Research and
Education Center in New
Market, Tennessee, a gathering place for social-justice
activists whose visitors over
the years included Rosa
Parks and the Rev. Martin
Luther King Jr.
Often traveling with a
bulky recorder, Carawan
spent much of his life collecting and preserving folk
songs so that they would not
be lost in the rush of time.
“We Shall Overcome,” with
its promise of deliverance
over struggle, was only one
of those numbers. But few, if
any, others matched its
enduring resonance.
Accounts of the song’s
history trace its origins to
"I’ll Be All Right Someday,"
a spiritual sung by slaves in
the American South. With
modifications by Charles
Albert Tindley, a minister
whose life spanned the end
of the 19th century and the
beginning of the 20th, the
song grew in popularity as
the church hymn “I’ll
Overcome Someday.”
In later years, labor
activists — most prominently a group of striking cigar
factory workers in
Charleston, South Carolina,
in the mid-1940s — adopted
the song for their cause.
They were credited with
evoking solidarity by changing the singular “I” to the
plural “we,” proclaiming,
“We will overcome, and we
will win our rights someday.”
Labor workers were said
to have taught the song to
Zilphia Horton, the musician
and social-justice activist
who preceded Carawan as
music director of the
Highlander Folk School, as
it was then known.
She was credited with
singing it for Pete Seeger,
the folk troubadour who
popularized tunes such as “If
I Had a Hammer” and “This
Land Is Your Land,” along
with “We Shall Overcome.”
In his version of the song,
Seeger preferred the verb
“shall” instead of “will,” he
said, because it “opens up
the mouth better.”
A turning point in the
song’s history came in 1950,
when Seeger recalled that he
taught it to Carawan.
Carawan joined the
Highlander center later that
decade and sang it for civilrights activists who met
there. They, in turn, sang it
at protests and in prison.
In 1960, Carawan performed it in Raleigh, North
Carolina, at the founding of
the Student Nonviolent
Coordinating Committee, an
organization that would help
fuel the civil rights movement for years.
“Playing music at these
kinds of situations, it wasn’t
just another form of entertainment,” he once told the
Chicago Tribune, which
reported that he had been
jailed four times. “It was
sustenance for people going
through hard times.”
The protesters, Carawan
said, enlivened the song with
their own touches.
“They said to me, in a
nice way, ‘Put that guitar
down, boy,’ ” he told the Los
Angeles Times in 2003.
“They had a way of singing
with a Motown beat. They
started singing with a triplet
rhythm . . . an insistent beat;
it was real powerful and just
caught on that way.”
In March 1965, President
Lyndon Johnson used the
song’s words in a speech
calling for legislation that
became the Voting Rights
Act of 1965. Three years
later, King cited its chorus
— “Deep in my heart, I do
believe, we shall overcome”

Tech support scam revisits RI
PROVIDENCE — Thanks to a heads-up
from a savvy consumer who recognized it as
a scam, Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin
is warning Rhode Islanders about a resurgence of the “tech support scam.”
In this recent twist on a persistent scam,
consumers have been receiving unsolicited
phone calls from individuals claiming to be
from technical support of a virus protection
software company. The scam then works
like this: the caller claims the consumer’s
computer virus protection software is outdated or that their computer has “corrupt files”
and needs to be fixed. The caller convinces
the consumer to provide remote access to
their computer and walks them through a
series of steps to allegedly correct the computer issue; however, the scam artist is actually installing malware or other software to
allow them to remotely control the consumer’s computer. The scam artist then tries
to charge the consumer an exorbitant fee to
“fix” the computer.
In some cases, the caller even gave consumers a legitimate-looking number to call
back that was associated with a company
called “PC Technozone Services.” Claiming
the technical problem was fixed, the scam
artist sent an agreement contract that asked
for credit card information. When the con-
sumer questioned the payment, the caller
locked the consumer’s computer and refused
to unlock it unless payment was made.
Kilmartin suggests the following tips to
protect from these telephone tech support
scams:
• Do not purchase any unsolicited software or services. If you’re concerned about
your computer, call your security software
company directly and ask for help.
• Never provide your credit card or financial information to someone who calls and
claims to be from tech support.
• Ask if there is a fee or subscription
associated with the “service.” If there is,
hang up.
• Never give control of your computer to
a third party unless you can confirm that it is
a legitimate representative of a computer
support team with whom you are already a
customer.
• Never give your password on the
phone. No legitimate organization will call
you and ask for your password.
• Do not rely on caller ID to authenticate
a caller, as criminals may “spoof” caller ID
numbers. They may appear to be calling
from a legitimate company or a local number, when they’re not even in the same country as you.

Teen fears she will regret
not choosing another path
DEAR ABBY:
I have been dating
“Brandon” for three years.
I’m 19, going to a four-year
college and I’m planning to
move in with him. I enjoy his
company and can see myself
with him in the future, but I
wish I hadn’t met him so
young. I wish I could have
experienced more — other
people and situations. I’m
afraid I’m falling into a trap
where it is more convenient
to stay with Brandon.
I don’t want to feel confined, but I also don’t want
to break up with him and
find it was the worst decision
of my life. We have discussed
it. He said he will understand
if I want to leave, but I’m
afraid it might destroy him.
I enjoy being around
Brandon, but I don’t want to
stay if it means missing half
my life. He isn’t the most
attractive guy compared to
others, so maybe that’s where
all this is coming from. More
attractive guys talk to me,
and I assume they would
treat me as well as Brandon
does. Maybe that’s what has
got me thinking. Some
advice, please?
— NOT SURE
IN NORTH CAROLINA
DEAR NOT SURE:
Feeling as ambivalent as you
do, do not move in with
Brandon. To do so would be
cheating both of you.
Because someone seems
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
more physically attractive
than your boyfriend does not
guarantee the person would
treat you as well — or better
— than Brandon does.
However, this is a lesson you
may need to experience firsthand.
It could also be a growth
experience for Brandon to
date others. He has already
told you he will understand if
you leave, so he may be emotionally stronger than you
give him credit for. This does
not mean you won’t eventually wind up together, but it
may make you both more
appreciative of the special
relationship you share
because you will have something to compare it to.
DEAR ABBY:
I am a 13-year-old girl who

ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Come up with good reasons to
believe in yourself, because
there’s much you can do when
you have the confidence to dive
in. Good qualities, skills, accomplishments — add them to your
list.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Expect a minor glitch as two of
your responsibilities conflict. You
don’t have to choose between
them, but you will need to find
someone to help cover one of
them.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Get out and talk to people you
don’t know. A stranger looking at
your life from the outside can see
wonderful aspects that you are
currently missing due to your
inside, and overly familiar, position.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
It’s good to be prepared, though
over-planning leads to proceedings that are forced and stiff.
Trust your natural spontaneity.
Tonight, people will feel brighter
for having stepped into your
sphere of influence.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Make
sure everyone is taken care of,
especially the low-profile types. If
one cog in the wheel breaks,
everything comes to a grinding
halt. Most “cogs” you encounter
today can be fortified with a little
attention and good humor.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Open-minded people will try
most things once. Adventurers
will try them twice just to make
sure nothing was missed or mistaken about the first time around.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Stay in sync with your team.
Quick calls will keep you up to
date. You’ll have to be the one to
control the conversations and
keep them short, because everyone wants your attention.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Jokes are telling. Listen to what
your loved ones say in jest and
what they laugh at in conversation, and you’ll get valuable
insights. It’s the kernel of truth
that makes things funny.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). The small kindness you
extend will have an unforeseen
larger benefit. The inconvenience
you run into will also work in
your favor. The good fortune of
the day is a karmic payoff.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Plans change, appointments
get canceled, the financial bottom line isn’t what you thought it
would be. Your decision not to
let any of this bother you earns
you “cool” status in someone’s
book.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Make a checklist of what you
want, not because you’re likely to
get everything on it, but because
becoming clear about your needs,
wants and priorities is a key step
in the manifestation of your
desire.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Your creative work gets the focus
today. There is a difference
between being an artist and a
craftsman, but one is not better
than the other. Do you desire
most to express yourself or to
master your craft?
would like to fix my relationship with my mom. I love her
dearly, but sometimes it is
difficult to spend time with
her. We have different tastes
in music, clothes and what is
fun. I know she notices the
distance between us and
would like to spend more
time together, but the things
she suggests we do don’t
appeal to me.
Dad and I are close, which
is probably because he’s
more like a kid. We have similar likes, and he isn’t as overprotective as Mom is. We’re
more like friends than father
and daughter.
I really want to be closer
to Mom, but I don’t know
how to do it so we’ll both be
satisfied. Is this a normal
teen thing?
— MAKING AN EFFORT
DEAR MAKING AN
EFFORT: Yes, I think so.
However, I’m pleased that
you want to build a closer
relationship with your mother
because, at your age, it’s
important. Being a mother
these days isn’t easy, especially if being the disciplinarian
and drawing the line is a role
that was “assigned” to her by
an overly permissive father
who prefers to be more of a
pal than a parent.
You and your mother need
to compromise regarding the
things you do when you’re
spending time together. Part
of the time, try the things she

North Smithfield knocks off Broncos, 11-6
By JON BAKER
[email protected]
NORTH SMITHFIELD –
There were two differing agendas on display before and during
a non-league clash between
Burrillville and North Smithfield
highs on Friday afternoon.
For Broncos’ skipper Peter
Berthelette, whose squad is in
the midst of its own Division III
playoff run, he wanted to expose
usual substitutes to varsity play,
get them used to the action they
don’t see from the bench or
while representing their JV
squads.
Northmen veteran coach Jon
Leddy had a different take. He
desperately wanted his starters
to exhibit more passion and
intensity, especially after his
contingent had suffered a tough,
7-6, eight-inning defeat at
Scituate the day before.
Despite a rather ugly affair,
one in which the two clubs made
15 physical errors between them
(and many more of the mental
variety), both believed they
achieved their pre-game goals
during North Smithfield’s 11-6
triumph.
“We wanted to see what the
younger kids and those who
don’t play much could do,”
Berthelette said after the loss,
one that dropped Burrillville to
5-6 overall (it already was 5-5 in
league action). “These kids have
[email protected]
At Lincoln High School, officials want to
continue playing Rhode Island interscholastic
girls’ hockey despite recently learning that
their co-op partner Cumberland will drop the
sport.
If the Lions are to keep playing, they’ll
need a new partner, as they lack the numbers
to field a team on their own.
One potential candidate is Mount St.
Charles Academy, a program that bears a
proud history in the sport but has seen declining participants in recent years.
Given their geogrpahical proximity, a cooperative arrangement between Lincoln and
Mount makes a lot of sense. Officials from
both schools have engaged in what have been
described as preliminary talks.

patiently waiting their turn,
they’ve been working hard in
practice and deserve to play.
“We didn’t have much on the
line; we wanted to see what they
could do in the field, and we (as
a coaching staff) did,” he said.
“We have some issues, especial-
ly on the defensive side. We
made quite a few errors, but we
also made our fair share of good
plays. Now we know the things
we need to work on.”
Leddy explained prior to the
first pitch that he had installed
all of his usual starters because
“we need a confidence-booster.”
After the game, he – like
Berthelette – wasn’t thrilled with
the five miscues his Northmen
made, but couldn’t complain
about the verdict.

Tigers pounce on Raiders
11-0, to take 2nd annual
McGee/Scanlon clash
By BRENDAN McGAIR
[email protected]
PAWTUCKET – The final score
was not important – the true reason
why the Tolman and Shea baseball
programs gathered at Slater Park’s
McConnon Field on Friday night
became abundantly clear immediately after the Tigers hung an 11-0
mercy-rule triumph over their
crosstown rival. Standing near home
plate, Tolman athletic director Frank
Laliberte said a few words that paid
homage to two longtime pillars of
Pawtucket athletes.
Facing Laliberte were Ray
McGee and John Scanlon, the men
of the hour if you will. McGee
might be retired from his AD post at
Shea and Scanlon likewise at
Tolman, but there are plenty of individuals in each camp that have prioritized the importance of making
sure that everyone in the city
remembers the contributions that
each one made.
Friday marked the second annual
McGee/Scanlon baseball game. It’s
a tradition that will remain a

John Farrell
TORONTO (AP) — Boston
Red Sox manager John Farrell
says he will handle the duties of
pitching coach for at least two
days after the firing of Juan
Nieves.
Farrell said the team could
announce a replacement on
Saturday.
The Red Sox fired Nieves on
Thursday during an off-day.
They went into Friday night’s
game at Toronto with a 4.86
ERA, the worst in the AL.
Farrell said the Red Sox are
“working through some logistics” with their new hire, and
said they “hope to have an
announcement sometime later
tomorrow.”
Farrell, a right-hander, went
36-46 in an eight-year big
league career with Cleveland,
the Angels and Detroit. He was
Boston’s pitching coach from
2007 to 2010 before leaving to
take over as manager of the
Blue Jays.
He returned to the Red Sox
as their manager in 2013.
College Baseball
Bulldogs stun Knights with wild ninth-inning rally
SMITHFIELD – Sophomore Cole
Fabio (Mahwah, N.J.) capped an
improbable ninth-inning comeback by
scoring on a throwing error after hitting a game-tying two-run triple to give
the Bryant University baseball team a
dramatic 8-7 victory over Fairleigh
Dickinson in the opening game of a
four-game weekend series on Friday
afternoon at Conaty Park.
Trailing 7-4 entering the bottom of
the ninth, the Bulldogs (21-20, 12-5
NEC) scored four runs with two outs
to defeat the Knights (17-20, 8-9) for
the 10th straight game. It marked the
second time in three games Bryant has
rallied with two outs in its final at-bat.
Junior Dan Cellucci (Sudbury,
Mass.) opened the ninth with a walk
and sophomore Brandon Bingel
(Peabody, Mass.) worked a full-count
walk two batters later to give the
Bulldogs a pair of runners. A fly ball to
center put runners on the corners with
two outs and senior John Mullen
(Walpole, Mass.) followed with an RBI
single up the middle to make it a tworun game.
Fabio then stepped to the plate and
laced the first pitch from FDU closer
Eric Snyder down the right field line
and into the corner. Cellucci scored
easily and pinch-runner Jacob Marotta
(Bridgewater, Mass.) raced all the way
around from first to score the tying
run, sliding in just ahead of the relay
throw. The relay throw home, however,
bounced away from the catcher and
Fabio never stopped running, chugging
home from third and sliding just ahead
of the tag to win the game.
The late rally erased an outstanding
performance from the Knights over the
first eight and a half innings. FDU
used an infield error in the first inning
to score three unearned runs and take
control of the game. Two walks coupled with the error led to an RBI
infield single from Joel Roman and a
two-out, two-run bloop single from
John Giakas.
FDU extended its lead with three
more runs in the fifth inning, chasing
Bryant starter Kyle Wilcox (Sandy
Hook, Conn.). Dylan Sprague opened
the inning with a bloop to right-center
that bounced out of the glove of a diving Jordan Mountford (Guelph, Ont.).
After a walk and a sac bunt put runners
on second and third, a wild pitch
brought home a run and Roman
knocked home another with a single.
Bobby Romano's two-out RBI single up the middle scored the third run
and knocked Wilcox from the game.
The Bulldogs began to chip away in
the bottom of the fifth. Sophomore
Joseph Paparelli (Preston, Conn.)
slashed a double to left-center and then
came around to score as junior Buck
McCarthy (Saugus, Mass.) followed
with a double into right-center.
In the sixth, Bingel was hit by a
pitch and junior Robby Rinn
(Warwick) singled through the right
side to put runners on the corners with
no outs. FDU starter Joe Flack retired
the next two batters but junior AJ
Zarozny (Shrewsbury, Mass.) knocked
a single through the right side to score
a run. Paparelli and McCarthy then
worked back-to-back walks to force in
a run and make it 6-3.
Cellucci nearly tied the game right
there but FDU right fielder Shane
Siebler raced in to make a diving catch
and end the inning.
Bryant pulled within two with a run
in the seventh. With one out, Bingel
launched a first-pitch fastball over the
left field wall for his league-leading
seventh home run of the season.
In search of his seventh-straight
win, Wilcox allowed six runs (three
earned) on six hits over 4.2 innings. He
walked four and struck out four.
Freshman Justin Snyder (Georgetown,
Mass.) came on in relief of Wilcox and
was a big reason the Bulldogs were
able to comeback. He allowed just two
hits over 2.2 scoreless innings of relief,
handing the ball to junior James Davitt
(Wallingford, Conn.) with one out and
a man on third in the eighth. Davitt got
a strikeout and a fly ball to strand the
runner and allowed an unearned run in
the ninth. He earned his third win of
the year thanks to the Bryant rally.

THE TIMES C3
NBA
Playoffs are number-crunch time
TIM REYNOLDS
AP Basketball Writer
A look inside the numbers of
the NBA playoffs as the conference semifinals head into a pivotal
weekend.
3 FOR ALL: More 3-pointers are
being shot in playoff games than
ever.
By a lot. By a whole lot.
Entering Friday, the average
NBA game in these playoffs has
featured 50 free-throw attempts —
thanks, Hack-a-Everybody — and
a staggering 49 tries from 3-point
range. That's a pace well above the
44.7 attempts from 3-point range
during last year's playoffs, and is
also way ahead of any regular-season clip in league history.
It's been clear that this is easily
basketball's most three-happy era
since the arc was added, but consider that just three years ago the
average playoff game had 47 freethrow tries and 35 shots from long
range.
Now, the numbers are basically
even.
Atlanta is averaging 32 attempts
from 3-point range per game in
these playoffs. Of the eight teams
left, the only one that isn't at times
totally reliant on that particular
shot is Memphis, which averaged
about 13 attempts from distance in
its first seven playoff games.
And all that shooting from deep
partially explains this ...

Blake Griffin has been the unquestioned star of the NBA playoffs this year,
leading all players in total points, rebounds and assists.
CLANK: That's the sound everyone's hearing a lot of so far in
these playoffs.
Going into Friday, the league
was shooting at about 44 percent in
the postseason — on pace for only
the 40th-best single-playoff effort
in NBA history.
But that's not all on the 3-pointer, where teams have been connecting on about 35 percent of
their tries. Foul shooting has been
downright putrid as well.
Across the league, teams have
hit 73.5 percent of their shots from
the foul line in the playoffs, a number that is obviously watered down
by all the intentional hacking of
primarily DeAndre Jordan and
Dwight Howard. That's on pace for
just the 47th-best playoff season
from the line leaguewide.
There is some good news for
the lovers of offense, however.
Despite all those misses, playoff
games haven't had this many points
(202.5 per game entering Friday)
since 1992.
BREAKOUT BLAKE: Your early
front-runner for NBA Finals MVP
(provided he gets there, of course)
might very well be Blake Griffin
of the Los Angeles Clippers.
Here's all he's done in these
playoffs, going into Friday's play:
— He's the NBA playoff leader
in total points (229), rebounds
(129) and assists (69). Yes, the
Clippers had the benefit of playing
more games than anyone else so
far in the playoffs, but for Griffin
to have more assists than anyone in
the early going is unexpected, to
say the least.
— He has three triple-doubles.
The rest of the league has zero so
Injured point guards
leave major impact
in East, West semis
TERESA M. WALKER
AP Sports Writer
MEMPHIS, Tenn. —
John Wall hopes to test his
broken left hand and wrist by
trying to dribble a basketball.
“You have to be able to
dribble,” the Wizards’ AllStar guard said Friday. “It’s
basically taping my hand
behind my back and saying
dribble with one hand. It’s
not happening in this league.
It’s just something I have to
deal with. It’s frustrating. It’s
tough.”
Injuries continue to have a
major impact on the conference semifinals with
Washington replacing
Memphis as the team waiting
to see if its point guard can
or should try to play with
broken bones.
Sure, Mike Conley played
eight days after surgery to
repair broken bones in his
left cheek, but the Grizzlies’
guard missed three games
until swelling eased enough
in his face to wear a mask.
Even the Clippers’ Chris Paul
took off a couple games to
rest his strained left hamstring.
Memphis was able to
close out Portland without
Conley, and he returned in
time to help the Grizzlies
split with the Warriors in the
first two games in the
Western Conference semifinals. The Clippers split both
games Paul sat out in
Houston, giving him time to
rest up for Game 3.
Wall is averaging 17.6
points and 12.6 assists this
postseason. With five nondisplaced fractures, Wall
could hurt his hand and wrist
even worse by playing so
he’s not sure if he will be
able to play Game 3 on
Saturday no matter how
tough it might be sitting out.
“This series has to go on,”
Wall said. “This is a great
opportunity for these guys to
step up, play a key role and
win some games.”
A look at the two games:
Warriors at Grizzlies, tied
1-1, 8 p.m., EDT, ESPN
Golden State faces its first
true test after sweeping New
Orleans and easily winning
the opener against the
Grizzlies. Conley’s return
allowed the Grizzlies to take
home-court advantage with
them back to Memphis, and
masks already were waiting
for fans to turn up the volume Saturday night in appreciation of the guard’s gutty
performance Tuesday night.
Playing on the road has
been pretty easy for the
Warriors who posted not
only the NBA’s best record
overall in the regular season
but were the league’s best
away from home.
“For us, this is some of
the first adversity that we’ve
faced,” Warriors guard Klay
Thompson said. “We’ve got
a couple options: we can
hang our heads or we can go
in there and fight in
Memphis. We’re the best
road team in the NBA for a
reason. We can go in there
and win if we play hard
enough, and that’s what we
far in these playoffs.
— Nine games, nine doubledoubles. He's the only player with
one in every postseason game thus
far. And keep in mind, no one had
more than nine of those in the
entirety of the 2014 playoffs.
HOME-COURT ADVANTAGE: Or
more specifically, what home-court
advantage?
Home teams are 29-20 going
into Friday's games, and everyone
who had home court for Games 1
and 2 of the conference semifinals
no longer has the home-court edge
going into Game 3 of their respective series.
All of them are knotted at a
game apiece.
LEBRON 7K: LeBron James of
the Cleveland Cavaliers is closing
in on yet another longevity milestone, that being 7,000 minutes in
NBA playoff games.
He's at 6,966 heading into Game
3 of Cleveland's series with
Chicago on Friday night. He'll
become the 12th player in league
history to log that many playoff
minutes, and he's going to climb
the league's assist charts as well.
James goes into Game 3 with
1,059 playoff assists, tied with San
Antonio's Tony Parker for No. 6
all-time. Chances are, James will
be No. 4 on that list before too
much time has passed in Game 3;
Steve Nash is No. 5 on the playoff
assist list with 1,061, and Larry
Bird is No. 4 at 1,062.

expect to do.”
Conley was testing a new
mask after practice Friday,
hopefully one with holes to
protect against fogging.
Having three days between
games has helped him recover, and Conley even has been
able to run and lift weights.
He’s even getting the feeling
back in parts of his face now.
“That’s a good thing,”
Conley said.
Hawks at Wizards, tied 11, 5 p.m. EDT, ESPN
The Wizards are preparing
to play without Wall against
the East’s No. 1 seed after
grabbing home-court advantage by winning the series
opener with their point guard
on the floor. Bradley Beal,
who took over at the point in
Game 2, is averaging only 4
assists this postseason.
Beal said he thinks he
tried to do too much in that
game, trying to compensate
for Wall’s absence. He said
the key for him is simply creating opportunities for shots
and rebound.
“I got to rely on my teammates and act like John is
there when he’s not there,”
Beal said.
Wall’s advice is for Beal
to be aggressive but smart if
double-teamed.
“Trust the guys are going
to make shots,” Wall said.
“Kick it out to them. That’s
something you have to build.
He hasn’t been in that situation too many times. Mostly
he was the guy being aggressive and I have to find guys.
Atlanta guard Kyle
Korver was with Chicago
when the Bulls lost Derrick
Rose to a torn ACL.
“We were all bummed,
but you know what, you still
have to play,” Korver said.
“We got beat four games in a
row, and I’m not saying
that’s going to happen here.
We have a lot of respect for
them and still think it’s going
to be a tough series.”
KANSAS CITY, Kan. —
Joey Logano will start at
Kansas Speedway right where
he left off.
The winner of last fall’s
Chase race drove his No. 22
Ford to a fast lap of 192.397
mph in the final qualifying
round Friday, easily topping
Kasey Kahne and Brad
Keselowski to earn the pole
for the Sprint Cup race
Saturday night.
“Last year it took us pretty
much all year to win one
pole,” said Logano, who has
only finished outside of the
top 10 twice this year. “It’s
pretty special to be able to
figure out these third sessions
and still have a lot of speed in
our cars.”
Logano was fast from the
moment his team unloaded
his car Friday, turning the second-quickest lap behind point
leader Kevin Harvick during
the early practice session.
Logano was third on the
speed chart during the afternoon session behind Erik
Jones and Jeff Gordon.
It was the fourth pole of
the year for Logano, but his
first at Kansas Speedway.
“The line I ran here in the
fall may not work this time.
Just trying to figure out
what’s the fastest for your
race car, and you never have
two race cars the same,”
Logano said. “You have to be
able to adapt to what’s new
and have an open mind.
Kahne posted a lap of
191.911 mph. He was followed by Keselowski, Martin
Truex Jr. and local boy Carl
Edwards, who was posted the
final lap of the last qualifying
segment.
“We’ve been really good,
spent a lot of time in race
trims, trying to get our car to
turn at the corner, make that
work,” Kahne said. “Our final
run was the best run of the
day, so I’m happy with the
car, the speed of the car, the
engine and the guys for making it better.”
Harvick qualified sixth,
followed by Greg Biffle, Kurt
Busch, Jamie McMurray and
Kyle Larson.
Jones also made the final
round of qualifying in his first
attempt in the No. 18, which
he’s driving this week while
Kyle Busch recovers from
injuries sustained in a wreck
at Daytona.
The 18-year-old Truck
Series star made his Sprint
Cup debut in relief of Denny
Hamlin at Bristol, but Jones
will be making his first Cup
start from the 12th position on
Saturday night.
“Not a bad ending there to
qualifying,” he said.

Pawtucket athletic staple as
long as Theo Murray and
Dino Campopiano remain the
baseball coaches at Tolman
and Shea, respectively.
“It’s a great thing for the
city and the two teams,” said
Campopiano. “John and Ray
are just wonderful men. I’ve
said this a million times: Ray
has been a second dad to me
over the years and John is a
great person.
“My friendship with Theo
goes back many years now
and it’s just a great thing for
us to do together,” added
Campopiano. “Even though
we’re not in the same league,
it’s still a great thing for us to
do together.”
The inaugural
McGee/Scanlon game was a
league contest that took place
inside McCoy Stadium and
was captured by the Tigers, 97. Both coaches made sure to
set their schedules accordingly
after the Raiders were reassigned to the Division III
ranks.
“We’re allowed two nonleague games a year so this is
going to be set no matter
what,” said Murray. “Dino
and I don’t even have to call
each other. We know to leave
one game open.”
The turnout was mightily
impressive and spoke volumes
about just how revered that
McGee and Scanlon were in
the community they served for
many years.
“It was a playoff-type
atmosphere as far as the
crowd,” said Murray.
Campopiano is also the
football coach at Shea, meaning he appreciates the significance behind an intra-city
contest as much as anyone.
He was asked if he envisions
the McGee/Scanlon baseball
game someday rising to the
level of the annual
Thanksgiving clash between
the Raiders and Tigers.
“I hope that someday it
does,” said Campopiano.
“The kids are getting into it
and are beginning to understand the significance behind
it.”
As for the action on the
field, Tolman jumped out to a
4-0 lead in the first inning
behind a bases-clearing double by senior Nate Gagnon.
He added a two-run double in
the second. Leadoff batter
Steve Otis finished with two
hits and two runs while Corey
Moral smacked two doubled
and scored twice.
Murray gave the pitching
nod to Kyle Depatie, a freshman who held the Raiders to
two hits while striking out
five.
“I wanted him to have this
experience and get a sense of
what could be in store come
the playoffs,” said Murray.
“He did great.”

Na, Kelly share lead at Players
DOUG FERGUSON
AP Golf Writer
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. —
Jerry Kelly and Kevin Na headed into
the weekend at The Players
Championship with another chance at
winning the PGA Tour’s biggest and
richest event.
Thanks to a clutch putt by Tiger
Woods rarely seen of late, he made the
cut on the number and gets to keep
playing.
Na, the 54-hole leader three years
ago until he faded under intense scrutiny of serious swing issues, settled
down after a wild start for a 3-under
69. He shared the lead with Kelly, a
48-year-old from Wisconsin who has
even stronger memories of the TPC
Sawgrass.
Kelly had a two-shot lead over
Woods in 2001 going into a final
round that took two days to complete
because of storms. Woods went on to
win, and two weeks later he completed
his grand sweep of the majors at
Augusta National.
Fourteen years later, Kelly and
Woods are in different roles.
“I figured I would have another
chance at this golf course,” Kelly said.
“I didn’t think it would be that long,
but it’s just strange. This whole career
has gone by in the blink of an eye.”
Kelly and Na were at 8-under 136,
two shots clear of Rickie Fowler (69),
Chris Kirk (68), David Hearn (71) and
Branden Grace (67).
Not much is left from all that star
power on both ends of the draw at the
start of the week.
Rory McIlroy held up his end. He
had a 71 and was only four shots back
going into the weekend. The other two
guys in his group, Masters champion
Jordan Spieth and Jason Day of
Australia, won’t be around for the last
36 holes.
Spieth spent too
much time trying to
save par and finished with a meaningless bogey for a
72 to miss by three
shots. Day started
the second round
tied with McIlroy
Kevin Na
and had two 7s on
his card within four
holes. He closed
with a double bogey
for an 81.
Phil Mickelson,
who played in the
group ahead of
Woods, had two 6s
and a 7 on his way
to a 76 to miss the
Jerry Kelly
cut for the third
straight year.
“I was thinking to myself as I was
walking around, ‘I can’t believe I’ve
actually won here,’ you know?”
Mickelson said.
Woods, in his first start since he
showed a remarkable short-game
recovery at the Masters, hovered
around the cut line most of the day
until he got to the par-5 ninth for his
last hole. He choked up for a soft
pitching wedge to 10 feet, made the
birdie and showed the kind of emotion
he once reserved for big shots and big
moments.
That gave him a 71 for even-par
144, making the cut on the number.
Given the nature of the Stadium
Course, and the quality of the field,
making the cut on the number means
he was only eight shots out of the lead.
“I feel like I’m playing well enough
to get myself up there,” Woods said. “I
just need one good round and narrow
up that gap between myself and the
lead, and I feel like I can do that.”
Na was a different player in 2012.
He was vilified for his slow play,
which he attributed to having the yips
with his swing. He simply couldn’t
take the club back, and there times that
when he did, he would purposely
swing over the ball so he could start
over. It was difficult to watch. It was
even harder on Na.
But he has battled through it and
came into The Players at No. 22 in the
world ranking.
“I think I’m mentally tougher
because I had gone through that, and
I’m a lot more happier,” Na said.
Such is the nature of the TPC
Sawgrass that no one ever felt safe.
Defending champion Martin
Kaymer made two quick birdies and
was one shot out of the lead. When he
finished the back nine, he was in danger of missing the cut after a tee shot
into the water on the 18th and a double bogey. Kaymer slowed his swing,
hit some fairways and recovered with
three birdies for a 72.
Fowler was poised to close in on
the lead until his approach on the par-5
16th drifted too far right and went into
the water for a bogey. Fowler bounced
back with a birdie on the island green
at the par-3 17th, and he had a 3-foot
birdie attempt that fooled him on the
18th.
Even so, he was two shots behind
and brings a little extra motivation
with him. In a magazine survey of
players, in which they didn’t have to
give their names, Fowler and Ian
Poulter tied with 24 percent of the
vote for the most overrated on tour.
Fowler has won twice worldwide and
is No. 13 in the world, mainly on the
strength of his four top-5 finishes in
the majors last year.
“If there’s a time where I need
something to kind of give me a kick in
the butt, then I can think of that and it
will put me in the right frame of mind
to go out there and take care of business,” Fowler said.

Lightning look to close out Canadiens in Montreal

of the series.
“We get as much pressure
as we can on him and go to
the net, score some goals,
shoot a lot of pucks at him
and it will pay off eventually,” center Tomas Plekanec
said.
Tampa Bay coach Jon
Cooper lifted Bishop after
David Desharnais’ shot
skipped off the goaltender’s
glove and into the net for the
5-7 forward’s first goal of the
playoffs. Bishop finished
with 11 saves.
The Lightning still have a
commanding 3-1 lead in the
series, but a couple of the
games could have gone
either way. They won 2-1 in
double-overtime in Game 1,
and grabbed another 2-1 victory on Tyler Johnson’s goal
with 1.1 seconds remaining
Wednesday night.

Canelo, Kirkland promise action in Houston
AP Sports Writer
Although Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s showdown with Manny Pacquiao last week probably didn’t convert many new fans to boxing,
the sport has much more to offer after that
unsatisfying meeting between its two biggest
stars.
Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and James Kirkland
get the first chance to put on a show.
The crowd-pleasing punchers both return
from lengthy ring absences for a 154-pound
meeting Saturday night at Houston’s Minute
Maid Park, where 40,000 eager fans and an
HBO audience will watch the Mexican champion and his Texan challenger.
“The fans want to go see action, and these
are the kind of fights where the people will
leave happy,” Alvarez said through a translator.
The 24-year-old Alvarez (44-1-1, 31 KOs)
already is among the biggest stars in boxing
for his skills and fearless style, and his return
from a 10-month break pits him against one of
the biggest sluggers in the sport. The matchup
appears to be tailor-made for entertainment,
and neither fighter has avoided those expectations during the week after Mayweather’s
defensive dominance of an injured Pacquiao.
“This is one of the opportunities I’ve been
wanting,” Kirkland said. “This is a fight that I
know the fans want to see, a fight that I’m
truly prepared for.”
Canelo hasn’t fought since winning an
awkward decision over Erislandy Lara in July.
An ankle injury sidelined him in the winter,
but Alvarez kept training in his new home in
San Diego until he inked a meeting with
Kirkland, whose legal troubles and training
upheaval have overshadowed his once-promising career.

CONGRATULATIONS CLASS OF 2015!!!
The Tampa Bay Lightning
are 5 for 5 this year in
Montreal. Now they need
one more road win against
the Canadiens.
The Lightning had a
chance to sweep the
Canadiens on Thursday
night, but goaltender Ben
Bishop was pulled in the second period of Montreal’s 6-2
victory. Now the secondround series is headed back
to Canada for Game 5 on
Saturday night (NBCSN, 7
p.m. EDT).
Tampa Bay has won each
of its five games in Montreal
in 2015, outscoring the
Canadiens 18-8 in Bell
Centre. It scored eight of the
11 goals in the first two
games of the series at
Montreal.
“We’ve had some success
in their building and we
played well there in the regular season, too,” Lightning
forward Ryan Callahan said
Friday. “I think we’re comfortable going in there.”
Montreal had six different
goal scorers in its first win in
nine games this season
against Tampa Bay. It had
struggled to score against the
6-foot-7 Bishop, who
stopped 100 of 104 shots
through the first three games

“We have a tough week coming
up,” Berthelette said. “We have
Hope on Tuesday and Thursday, and
it’s 5-6. We also have Davies on
Wednesday. If we win two out of
three, we’ll be in pretty good shape
(to claim a post-season bid), and – if
we sweep – we’ll be in great shape.
“Hope, Mount Hope and us are
all bunched together, but Division
III is serving a great purpose,” he
said. “A lot of teams are still in the
running, and it’s been very competitive baseball.”
For the victors, senior Brad
Shatraw finished 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored;
classmate Nick Cicerone 2-for-3
with a walk, stolen base and two
runs; junior Riley Boucher 1-for-5
with a run and three robbed bags;
fellow 11th-grader Josh Labonte 2for-4 with a pair of RBI and a run;
senior Ian Pascoe 1-for-3 with a sacrifice fly and two RBI; and senior
Eric Ethier 2-for-4 with a run.
Ethier also gained the win, as the
righthander scattered five hits and a
walk while fanning a pair through
the initial four frames. He yielded
two wild offerings and five runs, but
only two were earned.
After the Broncos stranded sophomore Sam Hetu at third in the top
of the first, North Smithfield rallied
for three in the bottom half.
Sophomore lefty Mike Keable
struck Shatraw with a pitch, then
took third on Boucher’s perfect hitand-run hit before scoring when
Hetu’s toss to second couldn’t keep
Cicerone from stealing.
Labonte followed with an RBI
single to plate Boucher, and Ian
Pascoe’s sacrifice fly to center
pushed in Cicerone.
Burrillville, however, immediately responded with a trio in the second to knot it. Duquette ripped a
one-out double down the right-field
line and scored on senior Nick
Keans’ first-pitch single off of shortstop Cicerone’s glove. Classmate
Tyler Savastano then reached on a
fielder’s choice, and junior Mark
Stead did the same.
Savastano hustled across on
Dearden’s hit to center, but Stead
scored as well, that after first baseman Matt Ethier’s relay throw to the
plate sailed past the backstop.
The Northmen more or less
broke it open with six in the back
half while sending 10 to the plate.
Senior Andrew Matulaitis singled to
center and stole second before junior
Matt Barrette (0-for-2, two walks,
stolen base) walked. That’s when
the hosts got lucky.
Shatraw rapped a ground double
off first base to knock in
Mandeville, and Barrette scored

after Boucher beat out an infield
miscue. Cicerone then struck out but
reached first on Hetu’s mental error,
and robbed second.
Boucher raced in on Labonte’s
single up the middle, and Cicerone
scored after he stole third, but
Hetu’s toss flew into left field.
Pascoe’s hit to left-center plated
Labonte, and the Northmen held a
9-3 advantage.
Burrillville sliced into that in the
third, Hetu reaching and scoring on
two consecutive errors, and senior
Justin Deschamps did the same
when Keans delivered a grounderturned-infield miscue.
Berthelette’s bunch tacked on
another run in the fourth in more
conventional style; Stead walked,
stole second and sprinted home on
Hetu’s one-out single to make it 9-6,
but that would be the closest the
Broncos would come on this day.
North Smithfield posted two
more in the fourth, courtesy of backto-back hits by brothers Matt and
Eric Ethier. Both came around when
Matulaitis gained first on an infield
error. Deschamps came on to shut
the door.
Sophomore righty Trevor Pascoe
pitched brilliantly in relief, allowing
just a BHS hit and whiffing two
over the final three innings. He also
retired the last seven in order.
For Burrillville, Keable lasted
just two frames, yielding seven hits,
nine runs (three earned) and a pair
of “freebies” with a strikeout.
Neither Deschamps or junior Slade
Sylvestre allowed a run in the last 2
1/3 innings.
“We knew North Smithfield
could hit with authority, so we had
to make the plays behind the pitchers, and we didn’t,” Berthelette said.
“That’s OK, though. We’re looking
forward to next week.”
Said Leddy: “I can live a little
with some physical errors, but it’s
more the mental breakdowns we’re
committing that I have the issue
with. We had 11 hits, and we have
been hitting it well, no doubt. That’s
the one relative constant, but we’ve
had some fundamental breakdowns
in the field, and I think it’s all
between the kids’ ears.
“We’re not executing easy
plays,” he said, “and it’s the veteran
guy that we need to step up. There’s
a fine line between strictly a physical error and one that occurs due to
a mental lapse. We have to play
cleaner.
“We’re 4-6 in II-North (5-6 overall), and we’re in the thick of it. We
were playing Burrillville, which is a
D-III team but one that easily could
be here in D-II. The guys may have
thought this was a team we should
beat, but there are no gimmes in
baseball. We have a lot of games
left, so there’s still hope to turn it
around.”

Hockey
MSC athletic director, “We
are certainly open to those
discussions.”
Lincoln joined the girls’
hockey ranks as a solo operation in 2011. The arrangement
with Cumberland took effect
in 2012-13, with Lincoln
serving as the base school,
and lasted for three seasons.
The 2014-15 campaign
almost didn’t happen due to a
delay in Lincoln’s receiving
payment from Cumberland
for its portion of the team’s
expenses.
With Cumberland dropping out next year, Lincoln is
left with just two returning
players, but wants to continue
the program.
“We want these ladies to
have an opportunity to play
on another team,” said
Fortunato. “We want to reach
out to another school.”
Mount isn’t in quite the
same straits, but they could
certainly use a participation
infusion. At the start of last
season, head coach Tony
DiLorenzo counted 16 players. That’s up from the 11
young ladies he had in each
of the previous two campaigns.
Mount won just four regular-season games last season,
though they did get hot at the
right time and swept their
semifinal-round playoff series
against Lincoln/Cumberland,
before falling in the DeCosta
Division finals to Warwick
Co-op in a series that went
three games.
“Our numbers have been
hovering on the low end and
we’ve struggled to compete
against teams that have twice
the number of players,” said
Lawrence. “We’re always
looking to do something that
would enhance our program.”
If this marriage between
the Mounties and Lions heads
to the altar, MSC would probably be the host school. Both
sides have until Aug. 1 to
work out something before
presenting a plan to the RIIL’s
Principals’ Committee on
Athletics.

“We’re optimistic that we
can create another co-op team
with another school,” said
Lincoln Superintendent
Georgia Fortunato. “We were
so delighted when we were
able to create this program
just a few years back and it
would be a shame if we lost
it.”

Think pink & orange
THE TIMES — Saturday, May 9, 2015
Pairing of pink and orange can bring cheer and a modern look to any room.
By ELIZABETH MAYHEW
Special to The Washington Post
Lately, I have been obsessed with
a particular color combination: pink
and orange. The origin of my color
romance could come from several
subliminal sources: the Dunkin'
Donuts that I pass every morning on
my way to work, my local liquor
store's newly installed Veuve
Clicquot Rosé window display,
Anjelica Huston's incredibly chic
pale pink suit and orange Hermes
bag in a scene in "The Royal
Tenenbaums" (which I just
rewatched on a Wes Anderson
binge) or the jacket designs of several books (and rooms!) by the legendary 1960s British decorator
David Hicks who I recently rediscovered after organizing a bookcase.
Whatever the inspiration, the fact
remains: The perky color duo is a
panacea for this past winter.
Pink and orange are a happy, likable combination, at least to me. To
understand the root of my sudden
obsession, I contacted Bevil
Conway, an artist and associate professor of neuroscience at Wellesley
College who studies how color is
processed in the brain. Conway,
while skeptical of claims that any
color — or combination of colors —
has universal appeal, says that
"color is powerful, and it has special
access to the parts of our brain that
care about what other people think
and how we feel." He explains that
color preferences are largely tied to
our associations with those colors.
Thus my current craving for pink
and orange has more to do with the
things and experiences that I associate the colors with (doughnuts +
champagne = happiness) than to the
colors themselves.
One would need to go far back in
time to trace the origin of this merry
color — way before Dunkin's 1976
pink-and-orange logo makeover. The
pairing of the two colors has a long
history in both indigenous South
American and Mexican cultures;
why those cultures would have chosen the pairing is a larger question,
but there are two attributes that
make these two colors stand out.
Pink and orange are similar; they
sit near each other on the color
wheel, so when paired together they
can appear aggressive and, to some,
even jarring. Conway explains that
when two very similar things are put
in front of us, our visual systems are
wired to enhance the differences
between them, which makes for a
more dynamic visual experience.
Pink and orange also cover a
wide spectrum of shades. This adds
to the versatility of the color combo.
Take, for example, the pink that
Dunkin' Donuts uses vs. the one that
Veuve Clicquot does; Dunkin's is
bolder and more vibrant, while the
champagne company's is paler and
more sophisticated.
Both of these factors need to be
taken into consideration if you
choose to use these two colors for
your interior. When I recently
pitched my pink-and-orange scheme
to 8-year-old Roan Roth and her
mother, Meg, I was careful to consider not only the shades of colors,
but also the amount of color I would
use. My goal was to make the room
fun and lively but not so vibrant that
little Roan couldn't concentrate on
her homework. I borrowed my
palette more from Veuve Clicquot
than from Dunkin' and covered only
one wall in a pale pink (Benjamin
Moore's Ballet Slippers), and then
— inspired by German-born
American artist Josef Albers —
painted a cube in shades of orange
over it (Benjamin Moore's Butterfly
Wings, Tangerine Fusion and
Habanero). The rest of the room I
kept white — white slipcovered bed,
Add planters to spruce up a deck
Home decorating budgets
are often quickly spent on
the interior, with nary a
penny left for decks, patios
and back yards.
"People sometimes neglect the outdoors," says
Dahlia Mahmood, a
Virginia- and Californiabased interior designer. "But
the outdoors is just as
important and essential."
One often-overlooked
piece worth investing in is a
pot or planter. Debra
Prinzing, a garden expert
based in Seattle and author
of the book "Slow Flowers,"
says that when shopping for
planters, think big.
"When the sky is your
ceiling, you can go really
big," she says. "It's not like
an indoor container, like a
vase." She recommends
finding planters with mouths
no smaller than 30 inches in
diameter, because "the larger
scale is so dramatic." (But a
word to the wise: Large pots
can be expensive to ship, so
if that's turning out to be an
obstacle, check out a local
nursery, home-improvement
store or even pottery studio.)
The one decision to be
more conservative with is
color. "If you want pops of
color, do that in your plantings and the flowers that
you choose," Mahmood
says. "Keep your planters
timeless." Once the pot is
obtained, Prinzing has a few
more practical pointers:
If the pot doesn't have
enough drainage holes, drill
a few more. The kind of
drill bit you need will
depend on the material of
the pot (for instance, a
masonry bit for a ceramic
pot).
— Invest in organic potting soil.
— Make sure to check
about proper care; pots
made of certain materials
might need to be taken
inside during the winter.
Got all that? Now check
out some of our favorite
planters:
— "Window-box
planters are more popular
on the West Coast,"
Mahmood says. "On the
East Coast, I see more
hanging planters." For window boxes, Mahmood recommends the California
garden store Hooks &
Lattice. For a hanging
planter design that lets the
plants shine, there's the minimal Zinc Sphere Hanging
Basket ($38-$148,
www.shopterrain.com).
— Prinzing recommends
checking with the seller
about ideal weather conditions for planters before
buying. The ceramic Case
Study Planter with Walnut
Stand, for example, should
be taken indoors during
winter to prevent freezing
and cracking ($149-$189,
www.roomandboard.com).
Terra cotta also should be
brought inside before the
first frost.
white flokati rug — with the exception of a strong color-blocked fabric
shade (Christopher Farr's Untitled)
and an orange leather chair and
ottoman to anchor and balance the
room.
Although neither Roan nor her
mother had any idea that the room
was inspired by doughnuts and
champagne, Roan likened lying in
her bed to sitting at the beach and
watching the sun go down.
Conway would appreciate her
assessment. He points out, "Pink
and orange are ancient colors that
we have lived with for a long time;
after all, they are the colors of a sunset."
— A pot's style should
complement the house and
garden. Mahmood says that
concrete and cast stone are
good for traditional styles,
terra cotta for a more earthy
feel. Plow and Hearth's
Colorful Steel Garden
Trolley Planter would fit
nicely on a patio with a
modern style ($200,
www.plowhearth.com).
— The Dolga Hover Dish
is sold by Vancouver company Pot Inc., one of
Prinzing's favorite sources
for great containers ($95,
www.potinc.ca). Some of
her other favorite retailers:
Flora Grubb Gardens in San
Francisco, Potted in Los

Coat of arms carries a rich history for parishes, families
I have always been fascinated
when looking at someone’s coat of
arms. The image is supposed to be a
short biography composed of symbols. Kings have had coats of arms,
countries have had coats of arms,
and bishops have had coast of arms.
In the case of Roman Catholic bishops, the coat of arms of the bishop
are placed alongside the diocese’s
coat of arms. For instance, in the
Diocese of Providence, Bishop
Tobin’s coat of arms features what is
called on the Dexter (which means
right side, but to the person viewing
the coat of arms it would be the left
side), where we see three Moline
crosses (two above one). These are
the symbols of the Diocese of
Providence as well as the symbol of
the trinity. A Moline cross ends in
the shape of an anchor. The anchor,
of course, is the symbol of hope as
well as the symbol of the state of
Rhode Island.
Speaking of Rhode Island, the
Episcopal Church
follows in the
same direction.
The coat of arms
bears a large
anchor and features the corpus
of Christ impaled
on a cross as part
of the anchor.
REV. EDWARD
Getting back to
ST-GODARD
the Diocese of
Providence, the
coat of arms is on a bed of silver
and blue symbolizing the Atlantic
Ocean, which englobes the state.
There are many symbols that are
used to tell the story of the person
honored in the coat of arms. For
instance, a lion symbolizes courage,
whereas a lamb symbolizes gentleness and a dove symbolizes peace.
A crown symbolizes royalty, whereas a crosier symbolizes pastoral
authority. An arm symbolizes an
industrious person, whereas a leg
symbolizes stability. A snake symbolizes wisdom, and a heart stands
for charity.
In the sanctuary of our church of
the Holy Family, we have the coat
of arms of Bishop Harkins on one
side, since he was the bishop of the
diocese at that time. On the other
side we have the coat of arms of St.
Pius X, since he was the pope at the
time. Under the coat of arms we
usually find a motto of the person.
For instance Bishop Gelineau chose
the words of St. Paul, “Rejoice in
Hope,” in his motto to symbolize
both the need for the virtue of hope
and to honor our state. His successor, Bishop Robert Mulvee, chose
the words “As one who serves” for
his Episcopal motto. Bishop Thomas
Tobin chose “Strong, loving, wise”.
If you would permit me to be a
bit personal, I would like to say a
few words about my made-up coat
of arms. Certainly, I’m not important enough to have an official coat
of arms. But I did have a wonderful
friend named Betty Bertini, the wife
of Dr. Armand Bertini of Pawtucket.
She was excellent at needlepoint
work. She offered to make me a
coat of arms based on her knowl-
edge of me. At the time I was chairman of Anglican-Catholic relations,
and so she incorporated the coat of
arms of the Vatican as well as that
of the Episcopal Church. Since I am
a priest, she stitched a gold chalice
in the center of a red cross. At the
bottom of the image she stitched a
crown with the letter “E” symbolizing St. Edward, King of England.
On the other side of the cross she
stitched a crosier ending in a “G”
symbolizing St. Godard, who was
the Archbishop of Rouen in France.
As a motto Betty stitched what I
thought were the two most important qualities of life “Veritas et
armor,” which means truth and love.
Rev. Edward G. St-Godard is a
weekly faith columnist for The Call
and Times.
Think yourself healthful, joyful and victorious, then go make it so
“It isn’t what you have or
who you are or where you
are or what you are doing
that makes you happy or
unhappy. It is what you think
about it.” Dale Carnegie.
It was a chilly, overcast
afternoon. Storm clouds
gathered in the west, and a
mother and her grown
daughter were walking on
the beach along the shoreline.
As they walked further, a
blustery wind began sweeping over the ocean. The
waves rose higher and higher, crashing on the sandy
beach.
After some time, the
mother stopped. She looked
at the waves before her.
Then, she asked her daughter, “Does the choppy ocean
remind you of anything?”
Contemplating the question for a moment, the
daughter answered, “It
reminds me of my mind.
Sometimes, I have rushing
and negative thoughts.”
Speaking very slowly and
carefully, the mother
responded, “Thoughts of all
kinds can come and go
incessantly. Our thoughts can
be quite restless, agitating
the mind similar to the
ocean’s waves.” Nodding in
agreement, the daughter lift-
m
ed her eyes toward her mother and asked, “But how do
we calm the waves of our
mind?”
Affectionately, the wise
mother replied, “You learn to
control the wind, by first
controlling your thoughts.
Thereafter, the ocean of your
mind can become calm. Your
life will follow your
thoughts, and your thoughts
and attitude will affect all
aspects of your future.”
With each step they took
alongside the water’s edge,
the daughter listened intently,
as the mother gave her an
example, “Your thoughts are
like a magnet. So, if you
complain, more situations
may come to you with which
to find fault. If you mull over
past problems, you may be
bringing more difficulties
into your present life. And if
you think you can’t realize a
dream, surely you won’t.
Unconstructive thoughts can
to lead to negative feelings,
which may prompt destructive behavior. This will prevent you from achieving
your goals, your Godinspired destiny and living a
joy-filled life.”
Together, the mother and
daughter gazed out into the
vast ocean. And the mother
tenderly put her arm around
her daughter’s shoulder and
whispered, “I love you, and I
want you to be happy.”
The daughter smiled. And
she uttered, “I love you, too,
mom.”
Next, the mother encouraged, “God intends for you
to do amazing things. He has
given you a generous heart
and extraordinary gifts, and
He has wonderful plans for
you. There will always be
challenges in one form or
another. But you can choose
the thoughts you think
regarding each circumstance
and, thus, determine the outcome.”
With that, the wind subsided a bit. The daughter
bent down and picked up a
seashell. Kneeling on the
beach, she drew a line in the
sand with the edge of the
shell and declared, “Negative
thoughts are not going to
hold me captive anymore.
Today is a new day, and I am
going to fill my mind with
optimistic, hopeful, uplifting
thoughts of love, faith and
gratitude, for I want to
become all that God intends
for me to be.” With that, the
mother and daughter left the
beach that day thinking
about the bright side of life.
Like this daughter, I wonder, how much more could
we accomplish if we banished unconstructive
thoughts, feelings of inadequacy, or a limited mindset.
Your thoughts create realities. For as you think, you
will become. What you focus
upon the most can appear in
your life. Hence, just by
thinking yourself joyful,
healthy and victorious, you
can help to make it so.

are where
you are
today

thoughts

Allen
A new
You
There is great potential,
courage and strength within
you. So continually look at
all of the positive aspects of
your life and send forth kind
thoughts onto others. Use
positive words in your inner
dialogues. If an unconstruc-
tive thought comes into your
mind, imagine you are putting that negativity on a conveyor belt. Let it go by.
Then, make a conscious
effort to choose to think on
thankfulness, focusing on the
good you intend to manifest.
When you wake up each
morning, dwell on your top
five blessings. Write them on
a sheet of paper and thank
God for each one. And
throughout the day ponder
on thoughts such as:
• “Something wonderful is
going to happen.”
• “I’m strong and in perfect health.”
• “I will accomplish my
goals.
• “God is on my side.”
• “There are abundant
blessings to come.”
Always be optimistic
about your future. Expect
that your dreams will come
true. If you expect little, you
will not be motivated enough
to even put forth the effort
and try. But the joyful expectation of success will cause
you to work harder and more
fully enjoy your life.
Scripture says, “According
to your faith, it will be done
unto you.” (Matthew 9:29)
Thus, see the possibilities.
Visualize only favorable and
beneficial situations. And
believe you can overcome
any obstacle. God has built
into you greater capacities
than you realize. I once read
about a young mountain
climber whose career was
abruptly brought to a halt
when his right foot had to be
amputated. After being fitted
with an artificial limb, he
went back to scaling heights
he had never yet achieved.
When asked how he managed it, he simply said,
“When your mind is focused
on the positive, nothing can
stop you.”
So turn your mind to positive ways and focus on the
good things for which you
aspire. Smile more. As, very
soon, the right opportunities,
the right people and the right
circumstances will unfold
before you. And your life
will be so rewarding and
blessed. For God is saying to
you today what the mother
at the beach said to her
daughter, “I love you, and I
want you to be happy.”
There is a bright future
ahead, and you’ll live a better than imagined life.
