JUST LION
AROUND
SAN DIEGO (AP) — A
surprising stowaway startled a
man out on his boat in San
Diego: A sea lion pup who
decided to crash in a bunk,
waking the owner with his
snoring.
Michael Duffy, 48, said he
was on his 41-foot Kettenburg
boat "Elixir" at the San Diego
Yacht Club when he awoke at
2:30 a.m. Sunday to sneezing
and snoring.
He thought it might be a
friend, crashing from a night
out, but couldn't find anyone.
Once it got light a few hours
later, however, he heard it
again.
That's when Duffy saw a
35-pound sea lion pup on
another bunk, curled up like a
dog on top of his board
shorts.
"It was a tiny little guy,
and I was kind of shocked,
but he was basically asleep,"
Duffy said.

SWING AND A MISS
Expert: Original PawSox stadium
plan ‘outrageously unacceptable’
By JONATHAN BISSONNETTE
[email protected]
PAWTUCKET – A professor from
the College of the Holy Cross on
Wednesday addressed the economic
impact of investing in baseball stadiums, noting that he believes the original proposal from the Pawtucket
Red Sox' ownership group that
would move the team to a brand-new
riverfront ballpark in Providence was
“completely and outrageously unacceptable.”
Victor Matheson, a nationally-recognized sports economist, addressed
a standing-room only crowd which
included city and state officials in
the theater at the Blackstone Valley
Tourism Council Visitors' Center.
“I would say that there's probably
going to be a stadium in Providence,
because it sounds like the owners
really want something nice and shiny
and new, but I suspect the subsidy
will be way, way less. I both suspect
and hope that the subsidy will be
way, way less than the original
offer,” Matheson said. “There's no
right number, except for zero is certainly acceptable.”
Matheson said that
while he believed
the proposed
ballpark would
be “fantastic …
for the owners
to spend their
money on,” he
wondered if it
was worth taxpayer
money.
The team's ownership group originally planned to ask the legislature
to authorize the state to lease the
ballpark for 30 years for an annual
rental of approximately $5 million,
with a sublease from the team to the
state for $1 million. The net $4 million annual rent would then have
been reduced by $2.4 million in new
tax revenue.
The owners would have “carte
blanche” to spend their money to fit
their needs, but Matheson said “I
shouldn't expect someone else's cred-
it card to renovate my house.”
“The basic idea here is if they had
just asked for a property tax exemption and a sweetheart lease deal on
the property, I don't think anyone
would be going crazy about this,” he
said.
Matheson said that economists
who look at cities where franchises
have recently departed or recently
arrived do not find “huge economic
impacts” when teams come or go.
A spokeswoman for the
Providence ballpark project has said
that it would cost $65 million to
bring McCoy Stadium to league
standards, with various repairs
including a new field, entryway,
parking, site improvements, suite
upgrades, terrace grass seating, new
parking lots, and administration
offices; among other renovations.
Matheson said he would “almost
certainly” be against investing $65
million into renovating McCoy
Stadium, noting that he would rather
see $80 million in downtown
Providence than $65 million at
McCoy.
“The reason for that is $65 million here is unlikely to be transformative because the neighborhood is

Proposed budget could Police arrest two
mean tax hike for CF
teens in stolen car
By JONATHAN BISSONNETTE
[email protected]
CENTRAL FALLS – Mayor
James A. Diossa on Wednesday
introduced to the City Council a proposed $18.1 million budget for the
2015-16 fiscal year, which includes a
3.9 percent increase in the tax levy.
The budget proposal is $1.2 million less than the $19.3 million budget called for in the six-year financial
projection and thus it is in material
conformity with the Fourth Amended
Debt Adjustment Plan ordered by the
bankruptcy court, Diossa said.
The budget also represents an
increase of $800,000 over the current
spending plan. Diossa said that while
much of the increase is in contractual
obligations, other expenses provide
“important investments” for the city.
Diossa's budget calls for a proposal to increase the required pension
contribution 50 percent over what the
bankruptcy plan requires, which he
said doubles down on the commitment to reduce unfunded liabilities in
the pension and OPEB plans.
The budget proposal also calls for
additional investments in city infrastructure, the revival of the Central

PAWTUCKET – Two
teenage males were arrested on
numerous charges after police
stopped a stolen motor vehicle
at Sayles and Pawtucket
avenues Tuesday night.
The driver of the silver
Honda Accord was a 17-yearold from Central Falls. Police
aren’t releasing his identity
because he’s a minor, but
Detective Sgt. Paul Brandley
said he was charged with pos-
session of a stolen motor vehicle, receiving stolen goods and
driving without a license.
He was ordered detained at
the Rhode Island Training
School following an appearance
before a Family Court magistrate, Brandley said.
The passenger was identified
as Aaron Dias, 19, of
Pawtucket. He was arraigned in
District Court Wednesday on
charges of possessing a prohibited weapon, a knife, and
receiving stolen goods.

7 dead, some missing in train crash
Amtrak engineer lawyers up
By GEOFF MULVIHILL
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA —
The engineer at the controls of an Amtrak train
that hurtled off the tracks
while rounding a sharp
curve refused to talk to
police Wednesday as the
death toll climbed to seven
with the discovery of
another body in the wreckage, authorities said.
More than 200 people
were injured in the derailment that plunged screaming passengers into darkness and chaos Tuesday
night.
Investigators recovered
the locomotive's data
recorder and said they
expected it to yield crucial
information, including how
fast the train was going
when it jumped the tracks
in an old industrial neighborhood not far from the
Delaware River shortly
after 9 p.m.
The engineer, who has
not been identified,
declined to provide a statement to authorities and left
a meeting with an attorney,
Philadelphia police said.
Mayor Michael Nutter
said some people remained
unaccounted for, though he
cautioned that some passengers listed on the

mangled. Hospitals treated
more than 200 people for
injuries that included burns
and broken bones. At least
10 were hospitalized in critical condition.
The accident closed the
nation's busiest rail corridor
between New York and
Washington — snarling the
morning commute and forcing thousands of travelers to
find some other way to
reach their destination — as
federal investigators arrived
to begin examining the
twisted wreckage, the tracks
and the signals.
Amtrak inspected the
stretch of track on Tuesday,
just hours before the accident, and found no defects,
according to the Federal
Railroad Administration. In
addition to the data recorder,
the train had a video camera
in its front end that could
yield clues to what happened, Sumwalt said.
Passenger Jillian
Jorgensen, 27, was seated in
the quiet car — the second
passenger car — and said
the train was going "fast
enough for me to be worried" when it began to lurch
to the right.
The train derailed, the
lights went out and
Jorgensen was thrown from
her seat. She said she "flew
across the train" and landed
under some seats that had
apparently broken loose
from the floor.
Jorgensen, a reporter for
The New York Observer
who lives in Jersey City,
New Jersey, said she wriggled free as fellow passengers screamed. She saw one
man lying still, his face covered in blood, and a woman
with a broken leg.
She climbed out an emergency exit window, and a
firefighter helped her down
a ladder to safety.
"It was terrifying and
awful, and as it was happening it just did not feel like
the kind of thing you could
walk away from, so I feel
very lucky," Jorgensen said
in an email to the AP. "The
scene in the car I was in was
total disarray, and people
were clearly in a great deal
of pain."
Award-winning AP video
software architect Jim
Gaines was among those
killed. Gaines, a 48-year-old
father of two who joined the
news agency in 1998, had
attended meetings in
Washington and was returning home to Plainsboro, New
Jersey.
Also killed was Justin
Zemser, a 20-year-old Naval
Academy midshipman from
New York City, according to
Navy Secretary Ray Mabus.
All seven train cars,
including the engine, were in
"various stages of disarray,"
Nutter said. He said there
were cars that were "completely overturned, on their
side, ripped apart."
An AP manager, Paul
Cheung, was on the train and
said he was watching a video
on his laptop when "the train
started to decelerate, like
someone had slammed the
brake."
"Then suddenly you could
see everything starting to
shake," he said. "You could
see people's stuff flying over
me."
Cheung said another passenger urged him to escape
from the back of his car,
which he did. He said he
saw passengers trying to get
out through the windows of
cars tipped on their sides.
"The front of the train is
really mangled," he said.
"It's a complete wreck. The
whole thing is like a pile of
metal."
Another passenger, Daniel
Wetrin, was among more
than a dozen people taken to
a nearby elementary school.
"I think the fact that I
walked off kind of made it
even more surreal because a
lot of people didn't walk
off," he said. "I walked off
as if, like, I was in a movie.
There were people standing
around, people with bloody
faces.
There were people, chairs,
tables mangled about in the
compartment ... power
cables all buckled down as
you stepped off the train."
Several people, including
one man complaining of
neck pain, were rolled away
on stretchers. Others wobbled as they walked away or
were put on buses. An elderly woman was given oxygen.
The area where the wreck
happened is known as
Frankford Junction, situated
in a neighborhood of warehouses, industrial buildings
and homes.
It is not far from the site
of the 1943 derailment of the
Congressional Limited, from
Washington to New York,
which killed 79 people.
Amtrak carries 11.6 million passengers a year along
its busy Northeast Corridor,
which runs between
Washington and Boston.
The mayor, citing the
mangled tracks and downed
wires, said: "There's no circumstance under which there
would be any Amtrak service this week through
Philadelphia."
with the 70 year old victim,
Donald Gibson, who was
working that evening as a
driver for a private tour bus
company.
When Gibson turned his
bus on Tollgate Road, he
witnessed Waters assaulting
a woman on the side of the
road. Gibson stopped the
bus and beeped the horn in
an attempt to get Waters to
stop. When Waters failed to
respond, Gibson parked and
exited the bus and verbally
told him to stop.
Waters did not respond
again and continued to
assault the woman. Gibson
approached Waters and
physically pulled him off the
woman.
Waters and Gibson both
fell to the ground. Waters
then got up and struck
Gibson once in the face with
a closed fist. Gibson suffered a nasal fracture and
two black eyes.
Waters fled the scene
prior to officer's arrival. The
woman involved in the incident did not suffer any
injuries and declined to
press charges. An arrest warrant was issued for Waters,
who was apprehended on
Dec. 19, 2013.
"Mr. Gibson put himself
in harm's way to help a
complete stranger in need
when many people would
have looked the other way
in the same situation. His
actions were brave and I
hope encourage others to do
what they can to help others
in need," said Attorney
General Peter Kilmartin.
Special Assistant
Attorney General Timothy
Healy prosecuted the case.
dance, with the cache of
older stadiums being the history involved.
There is “remarkable
agreement” among economists, finding that spectator
sports result in little or no
measurable economic benefits on their host cities, he
said.
Matheson added that he
believed that surges in attendance at new ballparks do
exist, but added that he felt
it was a “novelty effect,”
which does not seem to last
very long. He said that new
Triple-A stadiums raise
attendance by 2,200 people
per game in the first year,
but by year 10, that increase
is down to 250 per game.
“A new stadium would
fill 10,000 for several years
without being under serious
question, but that is likely to
trail off after a decade,” he
said.
Matheson also noted that
the total attendance for
PawSox home games in
2014 – around 540,000 –
was similar to the average
16-screen Regal Cinemas
Megaplex movie theater,
which drew around 478,000
in 2014. He noted that few,
if any, are clamoring for
public funds to finance
movie theaters.
Matheson noted that ballparks surrounded by restaurants and bars, in which
patrons grab a drink or a bite
to eat before the game and
then again after attending the
game are seen as “the exception to the rule rather than
what we see typically happening in these developments.”
He cited the recentlydemolished Hubert H.
Humphrey Metrodome in
downtown Minneapolis, a
stadium that had a 30-year
life and 100 million attendees, with one sports bar in
walking distance.
“It's easy to build the stadium, it's hard to build the
neighborhood,” he said.
If the PawSox were to
altogether leave Rhode
Island, the state would lose
about $12 million of economic activity, Matheson
surmised. However, he
believed that restaurants,
movie theaters, minor league
hockey, and college athletics
would “roughly” make up
that figure.
“People have entertainment dollars and entertainment dollars that aren't spent
here would go elsewhere,”
he said.
Patti Doyle, spokeswoman for the Providence
ballpark project, said that
she did not have a specific
reaction to people's opinions
and respects Matheson's
point of view.
What matters to the ownership group is to come up
with a partnership that works
for Rhode Islanders and the
owners, she said, adding that
while the group's initial proposal was not well received,
they are “working diligently”
to come up with another
approach.
She also said that when
looking at Triple-A ballparks
around the country and the
relationships that teams have
with their host cities, the
PawSox proposal would not
be “all that dissimilar” and
could be “more generous”
than other public-private
partnerships.

owners are mindful and
respectful of McCoy and its
memories, the ballpark is “in
need of a complete refurbishment,” and the stadium
still has limited offerings in
the way of public transportation, ease of access, restaurants and bars, and a walkable fan experience.
“Ownership absolutely
treasures and knows McCoy
holds a tender place in a lot
of our hearts,” Doyle said,
adding that the “reality is
that you have to look at what
the players and fans are
deserving of.”
She also said that while
the owners are mindful of
trends within the industry,
there is “an allure and
magic” to the Red Sox that –
combined with an urban
ballpark – could deliver “a
uniquely Rhode Island positive fan experience at a new
downtown location.”
Bob Billington, president
of the Blackstone Valley
Tourism Council, said that
for several months, he has
been “wrestling with the
thought” of the PawSox
leaving the city. He said it is
“painful to think about” losing the team and the “asset”
that McCoy Stadium is,
bringing thousands to the
city.
He said Wednesday's
presentation was the “best
thing to do to learn, for our
own edification,” and that it
would “help us understand”
the impact of investing in
ballparks.
tax increase was “very
tough to understand.” For a
home valued at $100,000,
this would represent an
approximate increase of
$83 in the 2015-16 fiscal
year.
The bankruptcy plan
requires in the 2016-17 fiscal year that the city begin
repayment of the receivership's bills and legal fees in
the amount of $600,000
annually until about $3.2
million has been repaid to
the state.
Diossa said that his
administration - along with
the City Council, and the
city's legislative delegation
– are “fighting hard” to
address this, noting that he
is hopeful that their efforts
can result in legislative
action to prevent “a doubledose of a bitter pill that we
have barely survived.”
If the legislation is successful and the bill is
waived, Diossa said he is
confident that the city's
budget choices could result
in significantly lower tax
increases, with a goal of no
increase.
No reductions in services
or layoffs to city employees
are proposed in the mayor's
budget.
With Diossa presenting
his budget proposal
Wednesday night, the next
step is to schedule workshops in which department
directors will have the
opportunity to address what
is included in the budget.

LINCOLN – After the
overwhelming success of
this week's consumer
"shred-a-thon" in Lincoln,
Attorney General Peter F.
Kilmartin has scheduled
another shredding event
at the Lincoln Senior
Center to ensure that all
Northern Rhode Islanders
are able to take advantage of this free and easy
way to prevent identity
theft.
The shred-a-thon will
take place on Tuesday,
May 19 from noon until 2
p.m. at the Lincoln Senior
Center, located at 150
Jenckes Hill Road.
The shred-a-thon is
free and open to the public. All consumers are
invited to drop off up to
two "banker boxes" of
confidential documents
for shredding.
"We are thrilled that so
many Rhode Islanders
have gotten the message
that shredding confidential documents is one of
the easiest ways to fight
ID theft,” Kilmartin said
in a statement announcing
the new shredding event.
“The event at the
Lincoln Senior Center
was by far our most popular shredding event to
date, and we quickly
reached capacity.
Although we have multiple other shredding events
scheduled for the week,
we want to make sure that
everyone is accommodated," Kilmartin.
“Along with our partner, Doc Shredding Corp.,
we will return to Lincoln
so that all those interested
can take advantage of this
free event.”
In prior years, Attorney
General Kilmartin's
shred-a-thons were held
during National
Consumer Protection
Week in March. However,
this year due to the
extreme inclement weather, the shred-a-thons are
being held during the
week of May 11-16,
2015.
Holding the shred-athons after Tax Season
also gives consumers the
opportunity to dispose of
unneeded financial documents.
The U.S. Department
of Justice has estimated
that approximately 16.6
million people nationwide
experience identity theft
each year. Shredding documents that contain personal information is one
of the best ways to protect against identity theft.
Recognizing the
increased demand on food
banks across the state, the
Attorney General is asking participants to once
again consider bringing a
non-perishable food item
for the Rhode Island
Community Food Bank.

evening fishing at Evans Park on Old River Road in Lincoln. Bosko said he liked to “just getaway
after work, relax and unwind,” while making a few casts for the bass and other fish in the small
pond. Nickerson said she likes to fish, too, but usually not from the shore. “We do a lot of fishing
from the kayak,” she said of the couple's use of small boats for fishing trips. Evans Park is
named in the memory of David Paul Evans, a member of Lincoln High School’s first graduating
class in 1966 and the first town resident killed in the Republic of Vietnam on April 19, 1970.
Lincoln voters say ‘yes’ to budget
Open space purchase passes

LINCOLN – Town voters approved an
overall spending plan of $78,579,351 for
Fiscal 2016 Monday night while also allowing a Town Council resolution for the acquisition of a parcel of open space land abutting
the Handy Pond Conservation Area.
The approval of the open space purchase
with a combination of a $400,000
Department of Environmental Management
grant and $600,000 in available funds in
town accounts came under a nearly split vote
of 94-93, according to Town Solicitor

Arrest leads to temple teacher’s firing
Education Director charged following child porn sweep
By RUSS OLIVO
[email protected]
EAST PROVIDENCE – The director of
education for a Hebrew worship center in
Barrington has been terminated from his
position following his arrest for possession
and transfer of child pornography.
“Temple Habonim is shocked and saddened to be informed by the Rhode Island
State Police that our Temple Education
Director, Gary Kabler, was arrested on
Tuesday morning,” Temple Habonim said in
a statement signed by Rabbi Andrew Klein
and Lisa Shea, president of the board of
trustees.
The temple leaders said Kabler was fired
as soon as they were informed of his arrest.
“Protecting our community is our first
priority, and toward that end an immediate
No Trespass Order has been issued against
Gary Kabler,” they said. “He is not allowed
to enter or be near the premises.
Kabler’s arrest was “painful news” for the
congregation, they said.
Kabler, 51, of 244 Beacon Park Drive,
was one of 11 Rhode Island residents arrested on child pornography charges by the state
police Tuesday after a three-month investigation.

The open space purchase was approved
while the meeting had 187 residents present,
more than the required quorum of 100.
Although not included in the Budget
Board’s recommended articles for the warrant, DeSisto said the Council’s resolution
allowed the residents present to consider the
land acquisition and express their views for
and against. The purchase was decided by a

THE TIMES — Thursday, May 14, 2015
Tourism should fit with
Raimondo’s marketing effort
In 1986, Rhode Island Legislators designated regional tourism agencies to represent the state. They also created a special
lodging tax with the intent to grow tourism
using community-based, tourism development strategies. When the state stepped
away from its charge to oversee a statewide tourism program, the regional tourism
districts increased their efforts to ensure
Rhode Island's tourism economy grew.
Our success is documented.
The Blackstone Valley's tourism growth
has been 33 percent over the last decade,
according to Commerce RI. Funds
received from lodging taxes are leveraged
three-fold each year. For 30 years, the
Blackstone Valley Tourism Council has
practiced grassroots tourism development
and marketing. With calls for regionalization to better leverage city's resources, it’s
questionable why Gov. Gina Raimondo
does not support regional tourism as viable.
The Blackstone Valley Tourism Council
supports the governor's proposal to get
back into tourism promotion to make
Rhode Island a premiere destination.
Currently, 21 percent of funds generated
from the Blackstone Valley’s lodging tax
are sent to the state’s General Fund, another 7 percent are used to support the tourism
programs in Providence, which has three
tourism agencies working for it.
We strongly oppose Raimondo's
approach to take 47 percent of our funds
from the Blackstone Valley, the funds generated by guests staying in our Valley
hotels. Our post-industrial communities,
equaling two-fifths of the state’s population, will not be adequately served or marketed if the Governor’s proposal is supported by the General Assembly.
Redirecting these funds halts the steady
momentum we have gained as a region.
The Raimondo budget proposal would cut
approximately $190,000 from Blackstone
Valley Tourism Council's budget, disabling
the development and promotion of our nine
communities, three of them being the poorest in our state.
The slashing of the Council's funds this
year, with the certain possibility of the
same amount next year, would kill tourism
in Blackstone Valley. Reassigning hotel-tax
revenue from the RI General Fund back
into tourism would provide $3.5 million for
a state-wide campaign. This would eliminate the need to un-fund the tourism districts.
The governor's proposal would be equitable if each tourism district were asked to
support a campaign based on the amount of
the hotel-tax revenues allocated by the
state. However, according to the Secretary
of Commerce, "Providence and Newport
will be unharmed" with the new funding
formula. Providence will gain $100,000 at
the expense of the Blackstone Valley communities.
Blackstone Valley Tourism Council's
efforts created the nation's 402nd National
Park. Visitors throughout this Valley will
hear the stories of America’s industrialization and the immigrants who came to
achieve their American dream. This is not
the time for the state to decrease support of
the Blackstone Valley. It’s time to invest
more.
Our work has been recognized internationally. The United Nations World
Tourism Organization presented us with the
Ulysses Prize for Innovation in Public
Policy and Governance, recognizing our
GUEST COMMENTARY
By Robert D. Billington
work in sustainable tourism development.
We are the only US agency to achieve this
status. The Council also received the
Tourism for Tomorrow Award for
Destination Management by the World
Travel and Tourism Council. No other
American agency has received this recognition.
Our agency supports two Visitor
Centers, one in Pawtucket along Interstate
95, and one in Lincoln along Interstate
295. We operate two educational boats on
the Blackstone River. We launched the
Pawtucket Arts Festival, one of the state’s
largest Art Festivals. We produce The
Polar Express Train Ride, which last year
brought 15,000 people to Main Street,
Woonsocket. Our robust public relations
and marketing campaign promotes every
attraction and event in the Blackstone
Valley.
The Tourism Council is the advocate for
construction of the Blackstone River
Bikeway. We have constructed a public
campground for Central Falls and created
the Chocolate Mill Overlook at the location
of the earliest chocolate mill in North
America. We founded the Blackstone River
Watershed Council, the RI Music Hall of
Fame, and State Society of RI. On the
international level we have promotional
relationships with Japan, Taiwan, China
and England which bring foreign visitors to
Rhode Island.
It is erroneous to believe that a statewide marketing campaign can be easily
traded for the work done in our nine communities to create "reasons for people to
travel." A state campaign cannot replace,
but it can enhance, the work that is needed
to make the Blackstone Valley "tourismready" and an even higher revenue-producing region for our state.
If Rhode Island is going to have an
identity, it should reflect the values of heritage, independence, and diversity upon
which our state was founded. This is what
makes Rhode Island great.
That is what will bring visitors to our
state. The economic injustice of this proposal is blatant. Blackstone Valley
deserves to grow economically and the
governor's proposal should be rejected.

As others see it: Middle class debt
The following editorial appears on
Bloomberg View:
Of all the burdens weighing on the
American middle class, one has grown
immensely in recent years: debt. Absent
reform, it presents one of the gravest
threats to the prosperity of the typical family.
For much of the past century, easier
access to credit benefited most Americans.
It helped them buy what many see as the
necessities of a middle-class life -- a home,
a car, an education. Those assets, in turn,
gave them the stability and earning power
they needed to build wealth. Regular mortgage payments acted as a form of saving,
making home ownership almost synonymous with financial security.
More recently, though, borrowing has
taken on a very different character. During
the housing boom of the early 2000s, it
became a way to bet on house prices, or to
turn home equity into the spending money
needed to compensate for stagnant
incomes. After the housing bust, the
excesses shifted into other areas, such as
auto loans designed to end in repossession,
and student loans that leave graduates too
indebted to move out of their parents'
home.
As of 2013, the average debt of middleclass families — those that fall within the
middle three-fifths of the population by
earnings — amounted to an estimated 122
percent of annual income, according to the
Federal Reserve. That's down a bit from
before the 2008 crisis, but still nearly double the level of 1989.
It's hard to say exactly how much debt is
too much, but research and the lasting
repercussions of the subprime mortgage
crisis suggest the U.S. is pushing the limit.
When consumers — and the financial institutions that provide them with credit —
borrow too much against their assets, a
market slump can easily leave them owing
more than they own. The consequence is
banking crises and long, slow recoveries as
people try to rebuild their wealth instead of
spending.
This financial fragility undermines the
long-term growth in jobs and incomes
that's needed to support a prosperous middle class.
What to do? First, stop subsidizing debt.
Believe it or not, the government actually
encourages excessive borrowing at taxpayer expense. The income-tax deduction for
interest paid on mortgage debt, for example, costs an estimated$75 billion a year.
The so-called too-big-to-fail subsidy — the
break on borrowing costs that the largest
banks enjoy because creditors assume the
government will bail them out — costs
tens of billions more. Reducing such handouts will be politically difficult, but must
be done to improve incentives and make
the financial system more resilient.

Jeb Bush’s eloquent
defense of Christianity
It is nearly axiomatic that presidential
contests tend to shine a harsh light on conservative Christians — inasmuch as they are
viewed as the Republican Party’s base and
are, therefore, deemed fair game.
Of course, religious folks come in a variety of stripes, checks and polka dots. Many
are Democrats. But it is
the members of the
Christian right — evangelicals and Catholics, especially — who are treated
every four years to the
sneers of lefties, academics, proud atheists (allow
me to quote myself:
“There’s no dogma like no
dogma”) and certain but
Kathleen Parker
not all media.
Fortunately for Western
civilization, Christianity has survived worse
insults. Lately, conservative Christians in
the country that codified freedom of religion
have been placed on the defensive. Often
viewed as obstructionists to progress, a secular world wonders: What’s wrong with
those people? Why can’t they just get with
the program?
Why can’t the Little Sisters of the Poor
suck it up and sign off on the Affordable
Care Act’s demand that their insurance policy include contraception funding? Ditto
Hobby Lobby, the family-owned craft business that prevailed in its Supreme Court
fight to not fund insurance covering contraception that destroys embryos.
Hobby Lobby detractors argued that the
company was trying to impose its religious
beliefs on others. In fact, the family was
resisting the government’s insistence that
they render those beliefs unto Caesar. (The
Supreme Court granted the Little Sisters an
injunction pending their appeal in the 10th
Circuit that protects them from enforcement.)
These issues, I’ll admit, can seem arcane
and are tiresome at times. But I’m convinced, as Alan Dershowitz and Ken Starr
agreed during a debate last year on these
two cases, that the state should always go to
extra lengths to protect religious liberty
whenever possible.
If only more Democrats and Republicans
were as agreeable.
Recent history and more recent comments by the likeliest presidential candidates
make it clear, however, that Democrats and
Republicans will take very different
approaches in future state/religion entanglements.
If Hillary Clinton becomes president, she
has more or less promised that the state’s
interests will crush the individual’s as necessary to advance women’s rights. Giving a
fiery speech last month at Tina Brown’s
“Women in the World Summit,” Clinton
plainly said: “Deep-seated cultural codes,
religious beliefs and structural biases have
to be changed” so that women can have
unfettered access to “reproductive health
care and safe childbirth.”
One would like to imagine that Clinton
was speaking only about primitive cultures
where children are forced into marriage and
childbearing, or where genital cutting is
common. But we know that she also meant
religious conservatives closer to home
whose beliefs get in the way. She explicitly
criticized Hobby Lobby for not paying for
its employees’ contraception.
By contrast, Jeb Bush, who will become
the GOP nominee if Republicans are smart,
assumed a much different tone and direction
in his recent commencement address at
Liberty University.
“How strange, in our own time, to hear
Christianity spoken of as some sort of backward and oppressive force,” he said. “It’s a
depressing fact that when some people think
of Christianity and of Judeo-Christian values, they think of something static, narrow
and outdated. ... I cannot think of any more
subversive moral idea ever loosed on the
world than ‘the last shall be first, and the
first last.’”
He also spoke of what our world would
have been like without the “unalloyed compassion, such genuine love, such thorough
altruism,” as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
described Christianity.
It would be defined, Bush said, by
“power without restraint, conflict without
reconciliation, oppression without deliverance, corruption without reformation,
tragedy without renewal.”
In a culture more attuned to the grits-’n’gravy style of a Mike Huckabee, it is rare to
hear Christianity discussed in such elevated
terms. Indeed, Huckabee can be expected to
go after Bush as a blue-blooded elite who
can’t relate to everyday Americans. Well,
yee-haw, one can hardly wait. But I suspect
that even conservative Southern Christians,
who can absorb more than one-syllable
words, might appreciate hearing their beliefs
so eloquently described as by Bush.
To be fair, Clinton likely would have
reframed her comments — and maybe even
her beliefs and accent — had she been
speaking to a Christian audience. But her
spoken words can’t be deleted and her
thinking is clear: Religious beliefs have to
be changed.
Or else what, pray tell?

The Call/Joseph B. Nadeau
Rep. Teresa A. Tanzi (D-Dist.34, Narragansett, South Kingstown) was looking for support
from her House peers on Tuesday while showing a display related to her bill H-5655 that
would prohibit those convicted of domestic abuse from possessing firearms. The bill and
its companion, Senate bill S 0505 by Sen. Cynthia A. Coyne, have been heard in committee but not yet considered by either full body. “I think it depends on how much our leadership hears from their constituents in the state,” Tanzi said. The Representative said the
silouettes on display represented four residents of South County, India Quinn, Tammy
Chan, Donald Costa and Michele Prescott, who all died in domestic violence incidents.
Lawsuit: Pedophile New England
priest transferred to New Mexico
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A
Roman Catholic priest who was repeatedly sent for counseling decades ago over
claims he raped boys and stole parish
money was kept in ministry then sent to
New Mexico where he molested a boy,
according to a lawsuit.
Brad Hall, a lawyer for the boy, now
58, said in the lawsuit that leaders of the
priest's Massachusetts-based religious
order had sought permission from a
Vatican office to bar the priest from any
public ministry, including celebrating
Mass, but Vatican officials instructed the
order to instead provide more treatment
for the accused cleric.
The Rev. George Weisenborn was sent
in 1966 to a Servants of the Paraclete
facility in Jemez Springs, New Mexico,
and later hired as a full-time priest by the
Archdiocese of Santa Fe, which assigned
him to a parish where he abused the
plaintiff multiple times, according to the
lawsuit.
Weisenborn died in 1991.
The suit, filed April 29 in Albuquerque
District Court, names the Archdiocese of
Santa Fe, St. Francis Xavier in
Albuquerque and the now closed Servants
of the Paraclete as defendants. It seeks the
disclosure of more documents related to
Weisenborn and other cases.
THE TIMES
Weisenborn was sent to the Servants of
Paraclete facility, known as Via Coeli, in
1964 after being detained three times in
Washington, D.C., for having sex with
boys, according to court documents
obtained from the Congregation of the
Sacred Heart.
The Servants of the Paraclete opened
Via Coeli in 1947 to treat priests with
alcohol and emotional problems. But
almost immediately, the center began
receiving priests who had sexually abused
children.
The Congregation of the Sacred Heart
wrote Vatican officials after Weisenborn
spent a year at the New Mexico treatment
facility and said after "great sums of
money spent" for his treatment and "great
hardships," the order was "entirely incapable of receiving Rev. Father
Weisenborn among themselves ever
again..."
Weisenborn requested that he be transferred to the New Mexico treatment center to help other priests with their problems, according a letter written by
Weisenborn in 1966 and submitted in the
lawsuit as evidence.
The Archdiocese of Santa Fe later
hired Weisenborn and assigned him to
parishes in Albuquerque and other parts
of the state.
would expect and want from
the Financial Town
Meeting,” he said. “It was a
good debate, a lively discussion and a good decision,”
he added.
The approved budget
includes $19,589,871 for
municipal operations, an
increase of $515,523 over
current spending, and a
school budget of
$52,092,668, an increase of
$982,153 or 1.9 percent over
current spending. Both figures were recommended by
the Budget Board.
The budget as approved is
expected to result in approximately a 1 percent increase
in the town tax levy but as a
result of town growth, no
increase in the tax rate.
Town Administrator T.
Joseph Almond said the open
space land approved for purchase is a 50-acre parcel
owned by the Jergensen
Family off Albion Road that
abuts the town’s 271-acre
Handy Pond Preserve off
Old River Road.
The town meeting action
authorizes the town to proceed with negotiations on
the purchase after setting
aside the funding needed to
match an already approved
state Open Space grant
award of $400,000. The
town would be able to use
$400,000 in prior open
space funding and another
$200,000 in gaming revenues from Twin River to
move forward on a purchase.
If the sale were to be
negotiated for a final price of
$600,000, $300,000 of the
state grant funding and
$300,000 of town funding
would be combined to complete the purchase, he noted.
“There would be no use
of tax money and this would
have no impact on the tax
rate,” Almond said of the
proposed open space purchase.
In other action by the
Town Meeting, Almond said
A5
all 15 of the Budget Boardrecommended capital resolutions were approved, including a proposal to add another
$550,000 to the high
school’s Ferguson Field
improvement project. The
town awarded $1.5 million
in capital reserve funds for
the proposed improvements
last year and the additional
funding will allow the school
department to proceed with
the project—installation artificial turf, a new scoreboard,
track, press box and bleachers for 500 people, he said.
A total of $175,000 was
set aside to add 50 parking
spaces at the Senior Center,
and another $16,000 to be
combined with a $99,000
Champlin Grant received by
the Public Library to repave
its parking lot. Almond said
the Library was also awarded $179,000 in reserve funding to install a new roof on
the original portion of the
recently expanded building.
Town voters also
approved the spending of
$52,500 in reserve funding
for the installation of new
LED lighting at Town Hall
that is expected to save the
Town $1,000 in electricity
costs on an annual basis, and
another $66,000 to install
new computer terminals in
local police cruisers.
The voters also approved
a resolution awarding
$239,000 for repairs to the
dam at Butterfly Pond and
$200,000 for a pedestrian
walkway over the dam under
another reserve funded capital improvement project,
Almond noted.
“I feel really good about
the Town Meeting’s action,”
Almond said of this year’s
financial work by the voters.
Like last year, Almond
said the town will be taking
on a list of capital improvement projects making use of
gaming and reserve funds
that will avoid any impact
from those projects on the
town’s tax rate.
“This budget allows us to
do all that and not increase
taxes,” he said
Historic home near Brown University to get makeover
PROVIDENCE (AP) — An historic
home near the Brown University campus
is set to get a makeover this summer.
The school announced Wednesday that
Bannister House, built in 1854, will be
fully renovated and returned to its original
wood exterior. The home will be sold to a
Brown faculty or staff member after renovations are complete through the Brownto-Brown program. The school says it has
successfully renovated and sold 12 homes
through this program.
Celebrated African American painter
Edward Mitchell Bannister and his wife,
Christiana, rented the home from 1884 to
1899. The home's namesakes were its
most famous residents.
The house was remodeled in 1930,
when its original wood shingles were
replaced with brick. The school says the
home has been vacant and in disrepair for
two decades.
Ed Fouhy, Boston newsman and promoter of Civic Journalism, dies at 80
BOSTON — Ed Fouhy, a
television news executive
who won five Emmy
Awards, worked at all three
major broadcast networks
and produced two presidential debates during a 35-year
career in Washington, died
on Wednesday in Chatham,
Mass. He was 80.
The cause was cancer, his
daughter, Beth, said.
He joined the “CBS
Morning News” in 1966 as a
field producer covering the
civil rights movement and
later served as bureau chief
on the West Coast and in
Saigon during the Vietnam
War. He was the Washington
producer for the “CBS
Evening News With Walter
Cronkite” from 1969 to
1974, when President
Richard M. Nixon stunned
the nation with his historic
visit to China, fended off
congressional challenges
after Watergate and finally
resigned.
Mr. Fouhy later served as
Washington bureau chief
and vice president for news
at CBS, as a producer and
deputy Washington bureau
chief at NBC News and as
Washington bureau chief
and vice president for news
at ABC, before returning to
NBC in 1985 to start the
newsmagazine program
“American Almanac.”
After his network career,
the Commission on
Presidential Debates recruited him to produce the two
debates between Michael S.
Dukakis and George H. W.
Bush in 1988 and the three
among Bill Clinton, Mr.
Bush and Ross Perot four
years later. He was also the
founding director of the Pew
Center for Civic Journalism
and the executive director of
the Pew Center on the
States, as well as the
founder of Stateline.org, an
online news service.
Edward Michael Fouhy
was born in Boston on Nov.
30, 1934, and grew up in
nearby Milton.
His father, Joseph, was a
payroll clerk at a shipyard.
His mother, the former Mary
Herlihy, was a medical secretary.
He graduated from the
University of Massachusetts
Amherst, where he began
his journalism career filing
sports articles for The
Boston Globe. While earning a master’s degree from
Boston University, he
switched to broadcasting
and became news director of
WBZ-TV.
Besides his daughter, he
is survived by his wife, the
former Barbara Mahoney;
his son, Mark; one grandson; and his sister, Nan.

THE TIMES A7
No words can heal the pain
family endures after a rape
DEAR ABBY:
What do you say when
someone has been raped?
I have a friend whose
granddaughter was brutally
raped and left for dead. I have
asked a few questions about
how she is doing and receive
only cursory answers in
response.
I know this incident has
caused great sadness within
this family. What do I say?
What do I do? I am at a loss
for words, and don't know
how to help. Any advice you
can offer would be greatly
appreciated.
— STYMIED IN ARIZONA
DEAR STYMIED: You
have shown your concern by
asking. It should be clear to
you that your friend is not
comfortable discussing the
family tragedy in detail.
Now drop the subject,
because sometimes being at a
loss for words is a GOOD
thing. When your friend is
comfortable talking about it,
he/she will do it without
prompting.
DEAR ABBY:
I recently took two days off
from work to stay home with a
cold. When I returned to
work, a co-worker started commenting on how I might be
contagious. Then during our
lunch break, she commented
that she didn't want me to sit
next to her “because she didn’t
want to get sick.” I told her
there were plenty of other
seats if she preferred to sit
elsewhere, and sarcastically
thanked her for making me
feel “welcomed.”
She continues to bring it up
and is now pushing everyone
to use hand sanitizer and sanitize their work areas. I’m
offended. I think it's rude. A
couple of co-workers are now
sick with similar symptoms. Is
she being rude, or am I oversensitive? And how should I
respond?

tions about the stories.
The teachers, on the other
hand, were a disappointment.
They dressed the way I dress
when I work in the yard —
jeans and T-shirts. What an
unprofessional image they presented to these youngsters!
They missed a wonderful
opportunity to be a positive
example of women in the
workforce by displaying a total
disregard for their appearance
or the impact they have on
young minds.
— SAD TO SEE IN NEVADA
DEAR SAD: I, too, remember when teachers dressed
more formally in the classroom. But that was then and
this is now. On the bright side,
one would hope that teachers
gain the respect and affection
of their students less on how
Horoscope
A - Cox B - Uxbridge, Millville Comcast
C - Blackstone, Franklin Comcast D - Bellingham Comcast
By HOLIDAY MATHIS
TAURUS (April 20-May
20). Strategy will be better than
impulse. Plan your attack, and
at least three people around
you will support you. Earth
signs will be especially helpful -that's Virgo, Capricorn or a fellow Taurus.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
First you'll ask without much
luck in the way of a response. "I
don't know" will quickly change
to "I know" when you ask a different question. Prod if you
must to get to the root of your
problem.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Many sales techniques hinge on
the belief that the things that are
most desirable are in limited
supply. Think twice when you're
urged to "buy now because there
are only three left." There are
many more than three left.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You
have a talent for levity and an
instinct for fun -- lead with laughter today. There is no need to be
self-conscious and overly concerned about what others think.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
People who feel pressured are
likely to act out of fear, and the
result will lead to regret. How
can you take the pressure off?
How can you make it fun?
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You value honesty, but do be
gentle, because the people
around you are more sensitive
than usual. Much will be accomplished with a compassionate
tone of voice.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
You seek the kind of understanding that can only come
from putting yourself in another
person's position. You don't
mind walking a mile in another
person's moccasins as long as
that person's shoe size is similar
to yours.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You approach the day
as if it were an experiment, and
your curious, playful mindset
will keep you from getting frustrated. Whether it goes right or
wrong, you learn.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). On the subject of personal
and emotional space, everyone
has a certain comfort zone. You
need a bigger buffer than usual
today, and you'll favor those
who understand and respect
your boundaries.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You may be building an
event up to be much bigger than
it needs to be. Try hard, but
don't worry if it doesn't work
out. There will be more and better opportunities in your future.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Small issues can escalate quickly. If you run into a problem,
meet with the others involved
straight away and face-to-face for
speedy resolution. Lose old baggage. It's not relevant to you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
You are open to unusual, original and novel ideas, so open, in
fact, that sometimes you miss
the obvious success key. That's
why it helps to have a very pragmatic friend in your mix.

LINCOLN – The Traveling Theatre presents ‘No Strings Attached,’ featuring the
Youth of Central Elementary School.
The performances will be held at Lincoln
High School (135 Old River Road, Lincoln)
on Friday, May 29 at 7 p.m. and Saturday,
May 30 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $6 for general

‘No Strings Attached’ – by Mary
Donnelly and George L.O. Strid; a musical
adaptation of the adventures of Pinocchio,
everyone’s favorite knothead gets an
extreme makeover in this hip and hilarious
adaptation of the classic tale of a talking
puppet who gets into all kinds of trouble
before learning what it truly means to be
human. This adaptation puts a fresh and
contemporary spin on the scenes and characters from the original classic with lots of
slapstick humor, clever wordplay and a wide
range of musical styles including hip-hop,
gypsy swing, bluegrass and good ol’ rock
’n’ roll. The performance is co-directed by
Ben Stanfield and Kelly McCabe.

Special to The Times
PAWTUCKET – No matter
what else the Austrian-born last
queen of France might have
done or said, she became iconic
for her alleged put-down of
starving peasants: “Let them eat
cake.”
But maybe there is more to
her than just a haughty attitude,
and that’s what playwright
David Adjmi explores in “Marie
Antoinette,” now in a polished
production at the Sandra
Feinstein Gamm Theatre.
In his play, Adjmi speculates
that Marie’s problem wasn’t
shallowness so much as her
youth – married off at age 14 to
an equally young Louis XVI –
and lack of education, the norm
for girls at the time. Both mistakenly led her to believe her
only roles as queen were to bear
a successor to the throne and to
act as an ornament for the country.
We know how that works out
for Marie. While the play follows historical events, however,
it’s not a history lesson. It is a
theatrical story about an infamous personality, told with
drama and loads of satirical
humor.
Maybe Marie didn’t enjoy her
life of luxury. Adjmi’s heroine
admits to her ladies in waiting,
“I feel so hemmed in,” and says
of the opulence of Versailles,
“All those mirrors, those gilded
things. I’m done.”
This Marie often speaks like a
Valley Girl, which brings the
18th-century tale into the 21st,
along with some inevitable parallels with the current economic
climate.
The Gamm’s production is
impeccably acted throughout,
but it really is Marie’s show, and
actor Madeleine Lambert is

wonderful. She’s charming and
guileless at one moment, imperious and demanding at the next,
as when she impatiently knocks
away a servant’s hand or
screams in frustration at her
feckless husband. It’s easy to
believe this is what the real
Marie was like, right to the sympathy Lambert engenders at the
end.
Other characters are there
basically to reveal something
about Marie – and for laughs.
Jed Hancock Brainerd plays
Louis XVI as an incapable child,
more interested in taking apart
clocks than ruling. As clueless as
she is, Marie comes across as the
brains of the operation.
Casey Seymour Kim and
Amanda Ruggiero are Marie’s
sycophantic female companions
whose courtly manners are
humorously exaggerated, and
Tony Estrella plays Marie’s
lover, Axel Ferson, who had a
hand in misguiding the queen
about her responsibilities. A
handful of additional characters
– including a poetry-writing,

Polignac, while Madeleine

Marie Antoinette. At left, Lambert
delivers a soliloquy as Antoinette.
prophecy-making sheep who visits Marie like one of Scrooge’s
ghosts – move the story along.
Alec Thibodeau is appropriately
weird as the sheep.
A set that literally sparkles
with light-reflecting materials
and the bright lighting itself suggest, with minimal fuss, the glitter and ornamentation of Marie’s
life at Versailles. Marilyn
Salvatore’s costumes add to that
setting – and the satire: Marie
and her entourage wear gowns
and wigs as was the 18th century style, but at The Gamm,
those wigs are the ultimate in
“big hair” and dyed neon bright.
When Marie’s position falls, so
does her haute couture as she is
transformed on stage with a
stained robe and shorn hair.
Director Rachel Walshe handles Adjmi’s century-straddling
production with clarity, bringing
a sense of history as well as
contemporary humor to the
show. Adjmi has invented an
interesting take on Marie
Antoinette, and Walshe turns it
into a vivid production.
Performances of “Marie
Antoinette” continue through
May 31 at The Gamm Theatre,
172 Exchange St. Tickets are
$41 and $49; call (401) 7234266 or order online at

a great afternoon. In addition to a picking up
a book or two, kids can enjoy storytelling,
crafts and face painting.”
This event is made possible with the support of the Woonsocket Rotary.
Founded in 1998 by Elizabeth M.
Dennigan as a way to collect and distribute
gently used books to day care and community centers, ‘Books Are Wings’ has grown
into a into a non-profit organization. Today
it offers book parties at local libraries,
schools and parks, giving children the
opportunity to experience the joy of reading

CRANSTON – Despite a dominant
showing from Smithfield, several area athletes successfully turned in noteworthy performances at the Girls’ Northern Division
Championships, held Wednesday at
Cranston West High.
Smithfield ran away with the team title
as the Sentinels’ 197 points was 52 more
than runner-up Cumberland. Woonsocket
came in fourth place (44) followed by
Mount St. Charles (26), Lincoln (23.5) and
Burrillville (13).
As usual, Cumberland junior Meaghan
Scullin left her imprint all over the meet.
Scullin racked up first-place finishes in the
400-meter run, the triple jump and the high
jump. She placed second in the long jump.
Scullin was the only Northern Division
competitor to post a sub-one-minute finish
in the 400 (59.70).
Several of Scullin’s Clipper teammates
also shined. Senior Nichole Barger topped

PROVIDENCE –
Following what became a
sound 9-4 Division I crossover
beating by La Salle Academy
on Wednesday afternoon,
Tolman High head coach
Craig Giarrusso was naturally
disgruntled by the verdict and
how it came about, but also
took it for what it was.
He seemed remarkably
calm – for him – as he
explained his club’s continued
defensive woes, but also indicated there was time to
rebound.
“We knew coming in La
Salle was going to hit, and
they did; that’s because it’s a
very good team,” said
Giarrusso, whose Tigers fell to
9-3 overall and 9-2 in
Division I-North. “We played
great defense for three
innings, but finished with four
errors, and that’s been a telltale sign of our season, like,
‘How many errors are we
going to make?’
“If we don’t tighten up our
defense, we’re certainly not
going to go very far in the
state tournament,” he added.
“Still, we’ve got seven games
left, and a lot can happen.
We’re still in good shape to
win I-North, but – with this –
we lost the opportunity to be
the top seed in the playoffs.
“Somebody’s going to have
to help us, because North
Kingstown only has one loss
in I-South. Somebody’s got to
beat them.”
The last team to do so:
Tolman earlier this spring.
The Rams took advantage
of junior Ann-Marie
Mitchell’s phenomenal performance at the plate (4-for-4,
three RBI, two runs scored) to
improve to 9-3 overall and 9-2
in I-Central.
Other key offensive contributors included senior
Brenna DuPerry (2-for-4, double, RBI, two runs); classmate
Kendall Jackson (1-for-4,
homer); junior Ainsley Burns
(1-for-3, RBI); sophomore
Gabby Conca (1-for-2); and

Rodriguez to the rescue?
PawSox lefty could
be called to shore
up Fenway rotation
By BRENDAN McGAIR
[email protected]
PAWTUCKET – Given the
news that the Red Sox are placing Justin Masterson on the disabled list coupled with the fact
that it’s far too early in the season for teams to talk trade, much
of the discussion about potential
reinforcements has focused on
those currently inhabiting the
PawSox’ clubhouse.
At the top everyone’s wish
list is Eduardo Rodriguez, a talented but not quite completely
polished left-hander. Rodriguez
pitched to mixed results at best
Wednesday at McCoy Stadium,
allowing three runs (two earned)
in five innings as Pawtucket fell
to Indianapolis, 6-0.
“If they call me, I’m ready.
You always have to be ready,”
said Rodriguez, who has a 2.86
ERA through six starts.
There’s a lot to like about
Rodriguez, who against the
Indians featured a fastball that
sat between 92-94 miles per
hour and topped out at 95. He
produced seven swings-andmisses along with five strikeouts
and just one walk.
“It’s a live fastball,” said
PawSox manager Kevin Boles.
“There’s definitely some swing
and miss potential there.”
Rodriguez has now allowed
eight runs (seven earned) over
his last two starts, spanning 10
innings. That’s a sharp contrast
from the two runs he permitted
over 13 frames between his
April 25 and May 2 mound
assignments.
“I wouldn’t read too much
into that,” said Boles. “I thought
his stuff played up pretty well
today. His delivery got out of
sync a little bit in his last outing
but I definitely we saw some
improvements today.”
The only true ringing hit that
the Indians mustered against
Rodriguez came with two down

Eduardo Rodriguez could be on the radar for a Boston call-up if he continues his
solid pitching for the PawSox.
OAKLAND, Calif. —
Somehow, Wade Miley
pulled off escape acts all
afternoon.
“Houdini,” the Red Sox
starter said with a smile.
Miley dueled with
Athletics ace Sonny Gray
and worked out of jams to
end a three-start skid thanks
to some sparkling defense,
and the Boston beat Oakland
2-0 Wednesday to take two
of three in the series.
Miley knew he had little
margin opposing a guy like
Gray.
Facing the A’s for the first
time in his five-year career,
Miley (2-4) allowed the leadoff batter to reach in four of
his first six innings. The lefthander won for the first time
since April 21 at Tampa Bay,
allowing four walks and five
hits in 6 2-3 innings.
“He was outstanding,”
manager John Farrell said.
“He was resilient with three
innings they were getting a
number of guys in scoring
position with less than two
outs. He never gave in.”
Gray (4-1) struck out nine
and didn’t walk a batter for
the first time all season. But

in the second inning when Gorkys
Hernandez smoked a shot into the leftcenter field gap. An ill-advised dive by
PawSox center fielder Rusey Castillo –
the same player who missed time with a
shoulder injury earlier this season –
resulted in a triple for Hernandez.
Perhaps what is holding Rodriguez
back from being a can’t-miss option for
Boston’s rotation is that his off-speed
pitches are still in the process of being
refined. Boles spoke earlier in the week
about the need for Rodriguez to create
more separation between his fastball and
changeup. On Wednesday, the skipper
counted a handful of examples of
Rodriguez’ ability to subtract velocity
between the two aforementioned pitches.
The first few innings saw Rodriguez
go to great lengths to establish his slider,
a pitch that a year was “terrible” in his
estimation.
“Way important,” said Rodriguez
when asked about the importance of the
slider emerging as a third pitch in his
repertoire. “Last year I threw fastballs
and changeups. Now I can throw backdoor sliders.”
PawSox catcher Matt Spring says the
slider for Rodriguez “is really developing.” Spring noted that he successfully
navigated the pitch in and out of the
strike zone against right-handed hitters –
the Indians had just one lefty in the starting lineup.
Red Sox

the A’s dropped to 1-11 in the daytime
with their seventh loss in eight games.
Daniel Nava hit an RBI bloop single in the second to snap an 0-for-20
slide and drive in the first run. The
Red Sox won on the road for just the
fourth time in their last 11 away from
Fenway Park.
“It doesn’t matter how it falls, as
long as it falls,” Nava said.
Thursday, May 14, 2015
“He’s doing a lot better job of not
throwing with his body and that’s
allowed (the slider) to turn into a quality
pitch,” said Spring.
steps but then you have to make sure
you get back if you’re not going to go.”
Castillo did collect a hit and a stolen
base.
It was a day of adventures for
Castillo, most of them of the no-so
memorable variety.
The outfielder left the game in the
third inning after tweaking his left ankle
on an awkward slide during a steal of
second base. Boles said Castillo was
removed for precautionary reasons –
Castillo did walk off the field under own
power.
“He came in afterwards and said he
was ready to go,” said Boles about
Castillo, no doubt encouraging news
considering Castillo’s injury history.
“Given the history and the slide, it
seemed a scary thing. We wanted to err
on the side of caution.”
Castillo departed McCoy Stadium
with neither a noticeable limp or with a
bandage on his ankle.
Besides the defensive misplay that
led to the Indians’ first run of the day,
Castillo got erased off the base paths
after attempting to score on a sacrifice
fly in the first inning. He hesitated on a
shallow fly ball to left field and paid the
price as he was tagged out before he
could return to the third-base bag.
“He decided to do a fake break but I
think he got off just a little too aggressive. (Indianapolis) redirected and they
made a nice play,” said Boles. “You
make a read and take a couple of hard
EXTRA BASES: The PawSox are
now hitting a league-worst .235. They
produced 12 baserunners against the
Indians but bounced into four double
plays. Pawtucket is now hitting .213 in
its last 24 games. … Humberto Quintero
told a reporter that he felt fine after getting hit in the helmet with a pitch on
Tuesday night. Given the magnitude of
what was a scary situation coupled with
Wednesday’s day game, Quintero was
held out of the starting lineup. “I think
he got pretty lucky,” said Boles. … The
paid attendance for Wednesday’s businessman’s special was 4,676. Students
made up a vast majority of the crowd
with many of them arriving two hours
before first pitch and departing McCoy
long before the final out was recorded.
… Speaking of attendance, the PawSox
entered Wednesday averaging 5,015
paying customers through 15 openings.
That equates to 10th-best in the 14-team
International League. … Reliever Noe
Ramirez was placed on the disabled list
right before gametime with a right forearm strain. … Brian Johnson (3-2, 3.03)
will get the nod when Pawtucket opens
a four-game series against Columbus on
Thursday night.
Boston added an unearned run on
shortstop Marcus Semien’s wild throw
to first in the eighth. Oakland has
made errors in 11 straight games and a
majors-high 36 in all.
Koji Uehara pitched the ninth for
his seventh save. Boston won this
series without big contributions from
the middle of the batting order. Nos.
3-4-5 hitters David Ortiz, Hanley
Ramirez and Pablo Sandoval went a
combined 5 for 36.
Sandoval hit a winning home run in
the 11th inning Monday night but
wrapped up his Bay Area return 1 for
12 and was booed whenever he
stepped in the batter’s box. He
received his World Series ring from
Giants manager Bruce Bochy on
Sunday night.
Ortiz went 2 for 13 this series and
is 3 of 20 on the trip. Ramirez singled
in the second and ninth for his only
hits in a 2-for-11 Oakland stop.
He is beginning to feel right at the
plate again after missing three games
last week with a sprained left shoulder.

each for the victors. Joe Nield was the
only one of Omer Landry’s boys to
have more than one hit.

drilled two doubles and a single, good
for six RBI, and Ray McConaghy
added a two-bagger for the winners.
Lance Shaw’s second inning single was

Cumberland’s Nichole Barger, above, won the

Soullier, right, captured both hurdling events
at the Northern Division Championships on
Wednesday at Cranston West.

Continued from page B1
the field in the 800 (2:27.50)
and the 1,500 (5:00.10).
Heading to URI in the fall to
run track and cross country,
Barger was also part of the
winning 4x400-meter relay.
Cumberland junior
Madison Soullier ruled both
hurdle events, winning the
100 by exactly a full second
while her time in the 300 was
more than two seconds better
than her closest rival. Like
Barger, Soullier was also on
the 4x400.
Cumberland junior Amy
Tolman
Continued from page B1
junior Gabby Gallone (1-for4, two runs).
The righty Conca also
earned the triumph in relief,
yielding five hits and a run
(earned) while whiffing one
in 2 1/3 frames.
Sophomore righthander
Hannah Caliri accepted the
loss, despite not feeling well
since Tuesday afternoon. She
went 3 2/3, allowing seven
hits, six runs (three earned)
with a two “freebies” and a
strikeout.
Caliri had opened the
game with three straight outs,
but Jackson led the second
with a walloped dinger over
the center-field fence.
Mitchell immediately ripped
an opposite-field hit to right,
took second on Swanholm’s
sacrifice bunt and scored on
Ainsley Burns’ ground single
to center to gain a 2-0 lead.
La Salle added another in
the third after DuPerry
whacked a double down the
left-field stripe, tagged to
third on Jackson’s foul out
and scored on Mitchell’s hit
up the middle.
Swanholm, the senior
starter in the circle, had
retired nine of 10 through the
first three frames, but the
Tigers roared back to knot it
at 3-3 in the fourth. With one
out, senior Cristin Chiaverini
delivered a single to center,
classmate Megan
Klemanchuck (2-for-3) roped
another to left and both
moved up on a wild pitch.
Chiaverini scored on junior
Kaitlyn Clement’s sacrifice
fly, and after Caliri was hit by
a pitch, classmate Kaylee
Moline-Vaz hammered a
ground single to left. On the
hit, Klemanchuck scored with
ease, but outfielder Jess
Howkins over threw home
plate, allowing Caliri to scamper to third.
Hope Caliri then knocked
a grounder to third, one that
went for an infield miscue,
and her sister scored to enact
the tie.
The Tigers nevertheless
stranded a pair in scoring
position. That would come
back to haunt them.
The Rams didn’t take long
to answer with three of their
own in the fourth. Senior
Ariana Wells drew a one-out
walk, and courtesy runner
Allie Forand moved to second
on Burns’ groundout. Gallone
followed with a hit to left,
and Moretti crushed a liner to
right.
It had appeared sophomore
Jessica Potter had a beat on it,
Laverty won the 3,000 by
nearly three minutes and also
came in second in the 1,500.
Woonsocket’s top performer was Quinn Harlan.
The speedy sophomore took
home gold honors in the 100and 200-meter dashes. Harlan
also placed third in the long
jump.
Villa Novan senior Tara
Rochefort earned secondplace finishes in the discus
and the hammer. Lincoln
sophomore Samantha
Andrews was the only person
to break 100 feet in the discus
as her throw of 108 feet, 10
inches was more than good
but it clipped off her glove,
and the two-base error plated
both Forand and Gallone.
DuPerry’s single to left
pushed across Moretti for the
6-3 advantage.
Larson opened the top of
the fifth with a stroked hit to
left and hustled to third on
Wilson’s opposite-field single
down the right-field line.
Larson, though, tried to score
on it, and was thrown out at
the plate as Wilson galloped
into second. She eventually
scored on Klemanchuck’s hit
up the middle to cut it to 6-4.
The hosts had another
opportunity to extend the lead
in the back half, after
Mitchell singled and Conca
reached on sophomore pitcher
Megan Salzillo’s throwing
miscue. Immediately after,
Howkins drilled a grounder to
third, but Clement stepped on
the bag, then threw to first to
pull off the twin-killing.
Wells then walked, and
Burns whistled a sinking
drive to the left-center hole,
but Hope Caliri made a spectacular diving snag to end the
possible flurry.
It looked as if Tolman
would manufacture one of its
own in the sixth, but only
controversy ensued. Salzillo
beat out an infield hit, and
took second after Hope Caliri
reached on an outfield
dropped fly.
Junior Emily Truesdale
then lofted a bunt to Conca in
the circle, one she dropped,
but Conca recovered and
enough to collect top honors.

threw out Salzillo at third.
Giarrusso quickly argued that
the call should’ve fallen
under the “infield fly rule,” as
the Tigers had runners at first
and second, but that went for
naught.
Larson later singled to load
the bags, but Wilson popped
out to second to end it.
“The home-plate ump
called for the infield fly rule,
but the base umpire didn’t
hear him – and didn’t think it
merited the infield fly,”
Giarrusso sighed. “They said
that was one of irreversible
calls according to the rule
book, meaning – instead of
having runners at second and
third – we had to go back to
having Hope at second and
Emily at first.
“The next kid (Larson) singled, but we got nothing out
of it,” he added. “We
could’ve had at least two
more.”
The Rams managed three
more in the bottom of the
sixth on Mitchell’s two-run
single, and she came in when
Howkins reached on a
dropped fly in left.
“I don’t feel like we got
robbed,” Giarrusso said afterward. “Like I said, La Salle’s
a really good team. We have
to do a better job in the field.”

Mount’s Seaver earns
300th coaching victory
WOONSOCKET – Mount
St. Charles Academy head
coach Tom Seaver hit a
once-in-a-lifetime milestone
on Wednesday with win
number 300 of his varsity
baseball coaching career, as
the Mounties easily handled
North Smithfield 10-1.
Seaver has coached the
varsity at Mount for 23
years, the better part of his
36 years as a high school
baseball coach.
“If you hang around long
enough and get some great
players, then good things
happen,” he said of the milestone.
And his players this year
have been as successful as
any in recent years, as they
earned their 12th win on the
season, powered by a superb
mound outing by Alex
Lataille, who threw six
innings, giving up just one
run and four hits, with two
walks and three strikeouts.
The Mountie offense was
on their game as well, with
15 hits on the day. Leading
the attack were Kevin
Valentine, with three hits,
including a double and three
runs, and Lataille, who went
3-for-4 with a triple, two
runs and two RBI.
John Montani went 2-for3 with a triple and an RBI,
while Tate Laquerre was 2for-3 with a double, run
scored and an RBI.
The Mounties will look to
bring Seaver win number
301 when they play at
Scituate next Tuesday. North
Smithfield fell to 4-7 on the
season.

RICHARD ROSENBLATT
AP Racing Writer
BALTIMORE (AP) —
Bob Baffert can only hope the
finish of the Preakness Stakes
turns out better than the postposition draw.
The trainer watched in disbelief Wednesday as his
Kentucky Derby winner
American Pharoah drew the
dreaded No. 1 post position
for Saturday's second leg of
the Triple Crown. A moment
later, his other entry,
Dortmund, was saddled with
the No. 2 post.
A 1-2 punch he could do
without after American
Pharoah was made the 4-5
morning-line favorite and
Dortmund the 7-2 second
choice in an eight-horse field.
It's the smallest field for the 1
3/16-mile Preakness since
2000, when Red Bullet upset
Derby winner Fusaichi
Pegasus.
"I can't believe I drew the
1-2 of all draws," a somewhat
disappointed Baffert said, noting that if American Pharoah
is the best horse, "we're going
to find out.
"It's the luck of the draw. I
don't love it, but it will be
easy to watch."
Justin Zayat, the son of
American Pharoah owner
Ahmed Zayat and general
manager of Zayat Stables,
chimed in on Twitter: "The
champ will just have to work
for it from the rail. I have
faith in AP."
Baffert has never liked the
No. 1 post, and history backs
him up. The last horse to win
the Preakness from the inside
post was Tabasco Cat in
1994; the last to win it from
the No. 2 post was Snow
Chief in 1986.
Baffert has 10 wins in
Triple Crown races, and none
started from the rail. Two
weeks ago at the Derby draw,
Baffert clapped his hands to
his mouth after waiting until
near the end of the draw
before avoiding the No. 1 post
for American Pharoah and
having him draw No. 18.
Dortmund wound up with the
No. 8 post.
"It's kind of a different
vibe here," Baffert said, referring to a field less than half
the size of the 18-horse Derby
and a track that tends to be

TRANSACTIONS
Derby winner American Pharoah
has dreaded rail for Preakness
quicker than Churchill
Downs. "But unless they redraw it, we'll have to live with
it."
If American Pharoah wins,
it would set up Baffert for an
unprecedented fourth Triple
Crown try. The last Triple
Crown winner was Affirmed
in 1978.
Derby runner-up Firing
Line was the third choice at
4-1, followed by Divining
Rod (12-1), Danzig Moon
(15-1), Mr. Z (20-1),
Bodhisattva (20-1) and Tale
of Verve (30-1).
"We've got options from
out there," Firing Line's trainer Simon Callaghan said. "It's
perfect. We're happy."
The first three Derby finishers arrived at Pimlico Race
Course about 2 1/2 hours
before the post-position draw.
After Baffert walked his horses around the stakes barn,
they settled down in stalls 29
and 30. Traditionally, the
Derby winner is housed in
stall No. 40.
Baffert had his reasons for
the switch.
"There's a crowd at the end
there," he said of the stall
where media tend to gather
and the horse can be clearly
viewed. "The noise sort of
gets to them a little bit, so I'm
just trying to keep him and
Dortmund together."
He said the horses shipped
well from Louisville,
Kentucky.
"He was revved up,"
Baffert said of American
Pharoah. "His motor I can just
feel, shut down. He's a very
intelligent horse. This was
just a routine walk, a new
place and he settled in well."
American Pharoah, to be
ridden again by Victor
Espinoza, comes into the
Preakness with five impressive wins in a row, two last
year to be voted 2-year-old

Tolman shuts out
Narragansett
PAWTUCKET –
Tolman’s pitching and
defense led them to their
second straight shutout victory on Wednesday, as they
defeated Narragansett 7-0 at
home.
Tigers starter Peter
Microulis went seven
innings, scattering six hits,
walked three and struck out
one. Head coach Theo
Murray praised his team’s
glovework in keeping the
Mariners off the scoreboard,
especially the left side of his
infield – senior shortstop
Steve Otis and freshman
Kyle Depatie, who manned
the hot corner.
“The defense today was
fantastic,” said Murray.
“Peter is a contact pitcher
who gets ground balls and
we made all the plays
today.”
Tolman was also effective
at the plate, led by Ricky
Bourdeau’s three hits, two
RBI and one run scored.
Depatie also notched three
hits and drove in one. Also
hitting safely twice were
Otis amd Jeremy Medina.
Medina also scored twice
and drove in a run.
The Tigers improved to
10-3 in league play, one
game behind second-place
Mount St. Charles in the loss
column. On Friday they’ll
face Mt. Pleasant at Slater
Park.

New app going through sea trials
Live-streaming app
Periscope tested at
Volvo Ocean Race
JIMMY GOLEN
AP Sports Writer
NEWPORT — A baseball
game lasts a few hours, and a
golf tournament can run a long
weekend. But sailors in the
Volvo Ocean Race are at sea for
nine months, enough time for
entire technologies to come and
go.
So when Amory Ross heard
about Periscope, a live-streaming app that didn’t exist when
he left Spain in October, he was
eager to give it a try.
“That’s part of the fun,”
Ross, an onboard reporter for
Team Alvimedica, said at Fort
Adams State Park here for the
only United States port in the
four-ocean, 38,739 nautical mile
race. “Sailing is always looking
for new platforms. In a lot of
ways, it’s a tough sport to relate
to. And a cellphone camera is as
good a bridge as you can find.”
In the town where Bob Dylan
went electric, tradition and technology are coming together
again.
Periscope, which allows
users to livestream video, was
introduced to many sports fans
when it was used to pirate
broadcasts of this month’s fight
between Floyd Mayweather and
Manny Pacquiao. But the Volvo
Ocean Race is embracing the
app, which was launched by
Twitter in March.
Each boat already has a
reporter embedded with the
crew, and to his usual routine of
blogging and Tweeting and
posting photos and video on the
team’s website Ross can now
add Periscope.
“I have all these different
tools to use at my disposal,”
Ross said. “Video, audio, it
sheds a whole new component
of the sailing that would be hard
to show otherwise.”
Photo by Stefan Coppers / Team Brunel / Volvo Ocean Race via Getty Images
Team Brunel is pictured during Leg 6 of the Volvo Ocean Race from
Itajai to Newport. Each boat crew has a reporter on board to write
blog entries, take photos and post them to the Web. Teams are also
now using the new Periscope app to post live video.
Named for the device that
helped submarines extend their
range of vision, Periscope will
have the reverse effect for the
Volvo Ocean Race. Ross will
use an iPhone to livestream
Saturday’s in-port race, showing
followers what’s happening on
the boat during the competition.
Unlike the long stretches of
sailing between continents, the
in-port race in Narragansett Bay
— like a sprint in the middle of
the around-the-world marathon
— lends itself to live video
because there is constant action.
Jonno Turner, the Volvo Ocean
Race’s digital project manager,
said Periscope will also followers to chat with the crew.
“It’s an amazing dynamic,”
he said. “You are actually interacting with the sports star during the event.
Alex Trickett, who works in
sports partnerships at Twitter,
said Periscope will “bring fans
closer to the action than ever
before, officially live streaming
a high-profile race from one of
the competing boats. This brings
a unique perspective and live
content that only they can
offer.”
Ross, who also served as an
onboard reporter in the last race,
in 2011-12, knew that he would
have to adjust during the race to
being away from his family and
friends — along with the usual
comforts of living on land. But
last time, he started using
Instagram midway through the
race.
“The race before that, it was
probably more like Twitter and
hashtags,” Ross said. “This race
always has some sort of a tie-in
with social media. We’re always
producing something.”
If the live-stream of
Saturday’s in-port race goes
well, Turner said, the use of
Periscope could expand before
this edition of the race ends in
Gothenbug, Sweden, in June.
And who knows what the hot
app will be for the next edition,
three years from now?
“The technology’s going to
come so far between now and
then,” Turner said.
