The new vehicles, which were purchased with authorization from the City Council and Mayor Donald R. Grebien's office, will feature four-wheel drive capability, enabling the department to be “better suited to handle challenging weather conditions” during the winter months, officials said. The 16 vehicles – 13 marked and three unmarked fully-equipped sports-utility vehicles – were put into effect Thursday, with some already on the road as of Thursday afternoon. The vehicles were purchased for $8,232 per vehicle per year over a five-year period, according to Communications and Constituent Services Officer Rico Vota. Under the combined debt service, there is a lease-interest in principal, which includes police, fire, public works, and information technology. Within that, there is an itemized section for vehicles, Vota said. The vehicles also include rearview cameras, which will assist officers in detecting people and objects while backing up. Additionally, the vehicles will be more fuel efficient than the Crown Victoria Police Interceptor vehicles that they are replacing, which will provide savings on fuel costs and leave less of an environmental footprint. “Enabling our patrol officers to react quicker, more safely, and more efficiently when responding to calls is a win for Pawtucket’s residents and the department,” Police Chief Paul King said in a See VEHICLES, Page A2 SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — Massachusetts police executing a search warrant at a drug suspect's home say they found a gun inside a hollowed-out Bible on his nightstand. Police say an officer involved in Wednesday night's raid in Springfield opened the Bible and found the pages had been cut out to make room for a 9mm Smith & Wesson semi-automatic handgun and a clip containing 10 rounds of ammunition. Police say they also found cocaine packaged for sale, scales, cash and other drug paraphernalia in Jimmie James' apartment. James is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday on several charges, including improper storage of a firearm. It was not immediately clear if James has a lawyer.

Kilmartin described as one of “contemplation and celebration,” the city acknowledged the heroic actions of members of its Police Department, while remembering those who were killed in the line of duty. The department's annual awards and memorial ceremony at the Pawtucket Veterans Memorial Amphitheater next to City Hall Thursday morning brought together city and state leaders and numerous police officials to commemorate those whose performances warranted recognition, while also respecting the memory of the seven members of the Pawtucket Police Department who have died in the line of duty over the last 109 years. Kilmartin said the day was one of contemplation for those who gave their lives, but also said the day warranted a celebration “for all the good work that happens,” among the city's Police Department. The officers were being “honored with awards they so richly deserve,” Kilmartin said. Mayor Donald R. Grebien thanked the officers who “dutifully go to work to keep us safe every day.” Although being a police officer is often a thankless job with no shortage of criticism, Grebien said the day was important to recognize those who sacrifice themselves and exhibit bravery on a daily basis, by “putting their lives in jeopardy to protect us.” It is “not an easy time in the nation's history” for police officers, the mayor said, noting that it appears that it becomes “more and more challenging” each day for officers in the line of duty. It is easy to lose focus on the positives when you hear all the negatives, Grebien added. Public Safety Director Antonio J. Pires said that based on recent statistics, a police officer in the United States gives their life approximately every 58 hours on average. “Somewhere in the country, a flag is at half-mast,” Pires added. Grebien also said that he believed the Pawtucket Police Department is “truly the most professional police department in Rhode Island.” Merit awards were presented to four officers who performed in an “exceptional manner in an extremely dangerous situation,” police officials said. The officers were Michael R. Costigan, John S. Donley, William M. Figura Jr., and Paul M. Trout. Commendation awards were distributed to 11 officers who “exhibitSee OFFICERS, Page A2 WASHINGTON — The deadly Amtrak derailment near Philadelphia appears to be yet another accident that didn't have to happen. It could have been avoided if a long-sought safety technology had been installed on its tracks and trains, according to information gathered by accident investigators. On Thursday, Amtrak President Joseph Boardman said the nation's passenger railroad will finish installing the technology, called positive train control, throughout its busy Northeast Corridor by the end of the year. Seven years ago, Congress gave Amtrak and freight and commuter railroads until the end of this year to install the technology, on their trains and tracks. But few railroads are expected to meet the deadline. Now lawmakers are proposing to give railroads another five to seven years to get the task done. The technology uses GPS, wireless radio and computers to monitor train position. It can automatiSee TRAIN, Page A2 Chafee not fundraising for White House bid By MICHELLE R. SMITH and JENNIFER McDERMOTT The Associated Press PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee plans to announce his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination in a few weeks, but he's not actively raising money or putting together the infrastructure required to pay for a credible White House bid. In the month since Chafee said he was forming a campaign exploratory committee, he's made trips to the early primary states of New Hampshire and South Carolina, made calls to activists in the first cau- cus state of Iowa and done several rounds of interviews with reporters. But a dozen longtime Chafee friends, former staffers and donors told The Associated Press they've either yet to hear from him, or that when they did, he did not discuss fundraising or talk with them about how he would raise the money needed to wage a viable campaign. "I was surprised not to have heard from either him or someone in his circle working on this potential campaign. I've known him for a very long while," said Bill Vareika, a gallery owner from Newport who has been a major supporter of Chafee's in the past and whose son was Chafee's speechwriter. In the meantime, Vareika said, the Chafee campaign of the front-runner in the Democratic race, Hillary Rodham Clinton, has called to ask for his support. "I love Linc. I wish him well," Vareika said. "He must have a strategy in mind. He needs support beyond Rhode Island to take on that campaign." In an interview Thursday, Chafee described his early approach to his "very, very likely" campaign as "just wearing down the shoe leather." He said he still needs to figure out how to comply with federal campaign finance regulations, record any donations he does receive via his website and find someone to serve as his campaign's treasurer. "The time will come, but it's not now," Chafee said of his plans to fundraise. "Perhaps after I announce."

Train cally brake to prevent derailments due to excessive speed, collisions with other trains, trains entering track where maintenance is being done or going the wrong way because of a switching mistake. It’s all aimed at preventing human error, which is responsible for about 40 percent of train accidents. A preliminary review of the Amtrak train’s event data recorder, or “black box,” shows it was traveling at 106 mph in an 80 mph zone just before it entered a curve where the speed limit is 50 mph, National Transportation Safety Board member Robert Sumwalt said. The train’s engineer applied maximum braking power seconds before the crash, but it was too late. “We feel that had such a system been installed in this section of track, this accident would not have occurred,” Sumwalt told reporters. At least eight people were killed and about 200 injured in the derailment.

Chafee surprised many when he announced plans to explore a run. He said he’s driven by his belief the next president should not be someone who supported the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and he has criticized Clinton for her vote as a member of the Senate to authorize the war. Then a Republican, Chafee was the lone GOP senator to vote against the invasion. He lost his bid for reelection in 2006, ran for governor in 2010 with no party backing and later joined the Democratic Party. He decided against seeking a second term, avoiding an expensive 2013 derailment in New York on the Sunday morning after Thanksgiving. A MetroNorth commuter train derailed in the Bronx, killing four and injuring dozens of others. The train’s engineer had fallen asleep and failed to slow the train from 82 mph to the maximum authorized speed of 30 mph as it entered a curve. An NTSB investigation concluded that crash would also have been prevented by positive train control. Not counting Tuesday’s derailment, the NTSB has investigated 29 passenger and freight train accidents that officials say could have been prevented by positive train control since 2004. Sixty-eight people died and more than 1,100 were injured in those crashes. The board has been urging installation of the technology, or its precursors, for 45 years. In 2008, a month after a commuter train and a freight train collided in Chatsworth, California, killing 25 people, Congress passed a law requiring that positive train control be installed by Dec. 31, 2015. But railroads have and the department “over and above their basic assignment,” officials said. The 20 who received the awards were Daniel R. Ashworth, James R. Baino, Julianne Borsari, Mario A.

Chafee has a well-known distaste for fundraising and has relied on family money to wage successful campaigns in the past. In Chafee's 2010 run for governor, he loaned himself $1.6 million while raising just over $900,000 from donors. Chafee likes to tell the story of former Wisconsin Sen. William Proxmire, who refused to take donations in his later terms in office and spent just $145 on his re-election campaign in 1982, which he won with 64 percent of the vote. But Proxmire was a longtime, popular senator seeking re-election to statewide office, not a former gover- long complained that complications will prevent them from meeting that deadline. In March, the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee approved a bill that would give railroads until 2020 to install the technology, and another two years after that if they need more time. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, which opposed the bill, complained at the time that some of its provisions would make it virtually impossible for federal regulators to ever force freight railroads to implement the technology. The bill’s key sponsors — Sens. John Thune, R-S.D., Roy Blunt, R-Mo., Bill Nelson, D-Fla., and Claire McCaskill, D-Mo. — have each received more than $100,000 in contributions to their campaigns and political committees from the rail industry over the course of their careers in Congress, according to the political money-tracking website OpenSecrets.org. Several of the senators said in statements or through their aides that reports by government agencies show Emmanuel E. Mejia, Tyler Shea, Alexander R. Smith, and Ariel Vega; detectives Linda BachandDoucet, Jeffrey A. Cook, Raymond J. Doran, Richard A. Laforest Jr., Donti T. Rosciti, and David Silva; and Det. Capt. John S. Seebeck.

The cost of running a successful bid in 2016 is widely expected to top $1 billion. Sam Reid, who directed Chafee’s Washington office when he was governor and who has held several fundraisers for him in the past, said he saw Chafee in Washington two weeks ago and the topic of fundraising never came up. “We spoke about policy, we spoke about what he would hope to do as president if he were to announce his run, we spoke about the other candidates who have announced from both parties,” Reid said. railroads need more time. One of the hurdles is getting all the railroads to agree on systems that will work on everyone’s tracks despite differing policies and operations. Such interoperability is necessary because freight railroads frequently operate on each other’s tracks. Commuter railroads and Amtrak also often operate on freight rail tracks. Amtrak has been one of the more aggressive railroads in installing the technology. Three years ago, Amtrak announced it expected to finish installing positive train control throughout the Northeast Corridor by the end of 2012. So far, the system is in operation from Boston to New Haven, Connecticut; from New Brunswick to Trenton in New Jersey, and from Perryville, Maryland, to Washington. It has also been installed on some routes in the Midwest. Amtrak officials declined to explain why the system hadn’t been installed on the Philadelphia tracks where the derailment took place. Amtrak has spent $110.7 million since 2008 to install PTC. “For decades we have seen preventable derailments and collisions occur,” said former NTSB Chairman Deborah A.P. Hersman. “If we do not implement technology such as PTC to prevent these events, we will continue to see them for the foreseeable future.” Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., a commerce committee member who voted against the bill, blamed the Federal Railroad Administration in part for not leaning hard enough on railroads over the past seven years to get the job done. “There is more evidence than ever that it is irresponsible and reprehensible to grant so long an extension,” Blumenthal said. One of the obstacles is the cost to industry of implementing positive train control, estimated in the billions of dollars. A Republican-controlled House panel approved deep spending cuts to Amtrak’s budget on Wednesday just hours after the Philadelphia accident. An attempt by Democratic lawmakers to boost Amtrak spending by $1 billion was rebuffed.

Crossroads Massachusetts LLC, in a brief letter released by state regulators Thursday, does not cite a reason from dropping its application. No one from Crossroads was present at a meeting of the state Gaming Commission, and a representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Commission Chairman Stephen Crosby said he wasn’t surprised by the plan’s demise. Commission members in recent months have expressed doubts about the viability of the project as its leadership team changed and it scrambled to assemble financing. “Nothing surprises me in this business. We never know who is in or out until the last minute,” he said. With Somerset officially out of the competition, attention now shifts to New Bedford and Brockton. Brockton voters on Tuesday narrowly approved a casino referendum calling for a $650 million resort developed by Mass Gaming and Entertainment, a subsidiary of Rush Street Gaming, a Chicago-based company that operates casinos in Pennsylvania and other states. On Thursday, the gaming commission allowed the New Bedford casino proposal to move forward in the competition. After warning the applicant about continued delays, the commission voted to deem their initial application “substantially complete,” on the condition that they submit the last of their required financial details in two weeks. “We’re really just down to the final economic terms,” promised Scott Butera, a former Foxwoods CEO who is now a partner with KG Urban Enterprises, the New York-based firm that wants to build a $650 million Foxwoods resort on the site of a former NStar power plant. “Our patience is not unlimited,” said Crosby. “Word to the wise: this has got to get moving quickly.” Crosby said the commission hopes to award the license by the end of 2015. And, in a related development, an Indian tribe seeking federal approval to build a resort casino in Taunton, a city also in the state’s southeast, said the gaming commission violated state law by allowing slot parlors to offer electronic versions of table games like blackjack and roulette. The Mashpee Wampanoag, in a letter to state Attorney General Maura Healey’s office released Thursday, said state law limits slot parlors to 1,250 machines and no casino table games. But the state Gaming Commission approved a regulation last year allowing for up to 1,500 “gaming positions” on 1,250 gambling machines. Healey’s office said it's reviewing the complaint. Crosby and other commission members defended their actions, saying the now-disputed regulation clarified ambiguity in the state law and was approved after a “rigorous” public hearing process in which no one objected. The complaint comes as Plainridge Park Casino, a slot parlor in nearby Plainville, is slated to open June 24 with 1,250 slot machines, of which about a dozen are multi-user electronic table games.

Now this obscure material, which is lightweight, strong and can handle extreme temperatures, is being built into the bellies of jet engines and promises to save billions of gallons of fuel in the coming decades by reducing weight and allowing engines to run hotter.

In the future it is expected to be used in power plants and other equip’'s a dream material,:” says Luthra, who has spent most of his career dreaming about it. The material is a type of ceramic that is hard and can handle high heat, like the ceramics people have been making for 25,000 years. But this ceramic is a complex composite that is also very light, and tough like a metal. No one wants the aircraft engine that is holding them 35,000 feet above the earth to shatter like a vase. Success came only at the end of a tortured path of fluctuating research funding and disappointments that at times shook Luthra’s hopes. “There were times where I wasn’t sure it was going to work,” Luthra admits. “But I guess I was too stubborn. I thought it was the right path.” GE is one of the few big companies that continue to operate large industrial labs that house thousands of scientists who work on basic research and long-shot projects that, sometimes, result in inventions like Luthra’s. The Department of Energy helped with some early funding, hoping the materials could be used in power plants. NASA wanted to use them in supersonic aircraft. The U.S. military hoped they could be used in a new fighter jet. None of the efforts fully panned out, but they helped advance the research far enough for GE's Aviation division to fund more research and development, and to finally commercialize it. The metal “super-alloys” that now line the hottest parts of jet engines are heavy, about 70 percent as dense as lead. And engineers can’t increase combustion temperatures because the alloys would melt. Already, today’s engines employ elaborate cooling mechanisms that divert air for cooling that otherwise would be used to power the plane. Ceramic matrix composites can withstand temperatures 20 percent higher than these metals, and they are one-third the weight. “For what it does, nothing can compare to it,” says Gregory Morscher, a ceramic composites expert and mechanical engineering professor at the University of Akron. The theoretical qualities of these ceramic composites have long been well known, but Luthra wanted to make them a reality, and put them to use. LOCAL Friday, May 15, 2015 THE TIMES A3 Pawtucket crews kept busy with pair of fires One blamed on smoking; no injuries reported By JONATHAN BISSONNETTE [email protected] PAWTUCKET – Local firefighters had busy mornings on Wednesday and Thursday, as they were tasked with extinguishing blazes on Warren and Vivian avenues on consecutive days. Fire personnel responded to a blaze at a three-story multi-family woodframe home at 67 Warren Ave. that left 13 people temporarily without a home, Fire Marshal Capt. Robert Thurber said. Around 6 a.m. Wednesday, firefighters responded to the twoalarm blaze. The fire was deemed under control within 45 minutes, but the home suffered smoke and water damage throughout, with fire damage to the first-floor bathroom, kitchen, and hallway, extending to a second-floor hallway. The cause of the fire is undetermined and it originated in a firstfloor bathroom ceiling, Thurber said. Occupants from the first and third floors were home at the time of the fire, but had self-evacuated by the time firefighters arrived on scene. No injuries were reported. The property is temporarily uninhabitable, and the home’s 13 tenants were placed at an area hotel by the American Red Cross. Thirty-one firefighters from Pawtucket battled the blaze, while personnel from East Providence, Providence, and North Providence backfilled the stations. Additionally, the Canteen was on scene. The property will not have to be demolished. Although the damage is “extensive,” Thurber said “it’s all repairable.” Just after 8 a.m. Thursday morning, firefighters responded to a fire at 43 Vivian Ave., Thurber said. The house did not have working smoke detectors. Two people were sleeping inside the 1½-story single-family home and had to be awoken by firefighters, Thurber said, adding that they were the only two people home, as the other three residents had already left that morning. Twenty firefighters from Pawtucket battled the one-alarm blaze, which was deemed under control within 40 minutes. The Canteen was on scene. The cause of the fire is believed to be from a man who was smoking on a front porch and discarded his cigarette, Thurber said. The fire “spread rapidly” because of “combustible” material on the porch, including a rag, sweater, and towel, he added, noting that the cause was “completely accidental.” The entire front of the house was burned, and windows broke during the fire. Although the interior of the house was filled with smoke, there was no fire damage inside, and the house is habitable, Thurber said. Follow Jonathan Bissonnette on Twitter @J_Bissonnette Senate decides Burying Beetle would make a ‘fab’ state insect By JOSEPH B. NADEAU [email protected] PROVIDENCE — Rhode Islanders could soon have an insect added to their list of state emblems thanks to the work of a group of Newport students, and what an insect it is — the black and orange Burying Beetle. The Senate on Wednesday voted approval of a bill, S0448, submitted by Sen. V. Susan Sosnowski (D-Dist. 37, South Kingstown, Newport), giving the Burying Beetle standing as a state emblem, and sent the measure on to consideration by the House. “Rhode Island is only one of four states that do not have a state insect,” Sosnowski said while noting the bill’s recommendation for passage by the Senate Committee on Special Legislation and Veterans Affairs and asking for approval by the full body. The senator noted that approval the bill would be an important lesson in the workings of government for the third-grade students from St. Michael’s Country Day School in Newport who supported the designation. The beetle, Nicrophorus Germanicus by its scientific name, is worthy of recognition given its endangered status and rarity, and its connec- tion to Rhode Island is also noteworthy, as the St. Michael’s students had pointed out at committee hearings on the Burying Beetle bills pending in the Senate and the House. The Burying Beetle is found only in the wild on Block Island in Rhode Island at the moment, and also at the Roger Williams Park Zoo where an effort is under way to introduce it elsewhere. Only five other states east of the Mississippi River can claim a homestead for the bug, according to the students. The beetle’s common behavior in reproducing and surviving as a species is somewhat shocking, even while unique and interesting. Its traits, in fact, could be an inspiration for a science fiction monster movie if someone was willing to commit the creativity and a CGI technology. As part of its mating preparations, the Burying Beetle secures the corpse or portion of a corpse of a small bird or rodent and proceeds to dig under it to start the process of “burying” the decaying portions of the animal or bird. Skin and feathers are removed and the flesh covered with a preservative secretion. The mating process results in the eggs of offspring being laid in carcass before it is covered over to await their hatching. When the eggs do hatch, the young larvae have a meal, or host, waiting for them, a trait well known in a certain science fiction movie series. Sosnowski used a different description of that process while encouraging her colleagues to approve the bill on Wednesday. “So it’s a recycling insect,” Sosnowski said while pointing to the environmental cleanup aspects of Rhode Island’s special insect. The Burying Beetle bill was approved by all 37 senators present for Wednesday’s session. The House version of the bill, H-0693 introduced by Rep. Lauren Carson (DDist. 75, Newport), and House consideration is still pending. Bill to toughen murder sentencing advances in House vote Would lengthen time served before parole eligibility hearing By JOSEPH B. NADEAU [email protected] PROVIDENCE – Alfred A. Brissette Jr. won parole after serving just 13 years of his 35-year prison term for his role in the murder of Jeannette Descoteaux in Burrillville in 1999, and sparked legislation now moving forward in the General Assembly to never allow that to happen again. The House of Representatives on Thursday approved a bill filed by Rep. Patricia A. Serpa (D-Dist. 27, West Warwick, Coventry) that will require those convicted of first- and second-degree murder and not sentenced to life in prison to serve at least half of their sentence before becoming eligible for parole. A person convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison would have to serve a minimum of 25 years before becoming eligible for parole under the legislation. The Senate has already approved a similar bill, S-0132A, filed by Sen. Leonidas P. Raptakis (D-Dist. 33, Coventry, East Greenwich, West Greenwich). The House and the Senate must now approve the other body’s bill to forward the law on to Gov. Gina M. Raimondo. Brissette and fellow Woonsocket native, Marc Girard, were convicted in brutal killing of Descoteaux and both sent to ACI. Brissette was given a 60-year sentence with 35 years to serve, and Girard a life sentence plus 10 years to serve. The early release of Brissette drew a public outcry and criticism of the state’s parole system from the Rhode Island Brotherhood of Correctional Officers, several legislators and other groups. Girard remains in prison on his sentence. During the House discussion of Serpa’s bill on Thursday, Reps. Edith A. Ajello, J. Aaron Regunberg and Joseph S. Almeida, all Providence Democrats, voiced opposition to the bill while pointing to the need for flexibility in deciding when an inmate should be released and also the fiscal savings that result when rehabilitated prisoners are released from prison. Brissette, Ajello offered, “has been out of jail now almost 18 months and we have not heard anything. It looks to me that in this case the parole board got it right.” Other members of the House strongly disagreed with that view. Serpa listed other cases where inmates serving sentences for murder were released after serving many years of their sentence and then killed again. “I think we have a duty to protect society,” Serpa said. Rep. Brian Newberry (R-Dist. 48, North Smithfield, Burrillville), House Minority Leader, said he has supported the scaling back of sentences for non-violent offenses to help lower state prison costs but drew the line on violent offenders. Newberry said he also had been shocked to learn Brissette was “getting out of prison” after serving less than half of his sentence and was supportive of the bill to close that option. “This bill doesn’t go far enough,” Newberry said. “We have a lot of people in prison serving time for violent crime, this bill doesn’t go far enough.” Rep. Cale Keable (D-Dist. 47, Burrillville, Glocester), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said he also supported passage of the bill. “I felt it was a good bill and it made perfect sense to have someone convicted of first and second degree murder to serve at least half of their sentence,” Keable said. After the vote, House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello said given the support in the House, with just three representatives opposed, and the prior vote of approval in the Senate, “I would say it looks like this legislation is going to move forward.” The next step would be passage of the companion bills and then transmittal to the governor, who would then have to make her own decision on the legislation, he said. Senate Finance Committee hears working group’s Medicaid plan PROVIDENCE — Senate leaders on Thursday discussed the importance of shifting to a more effective and cost-efficient Medicaid system, such as the proposal that has been developed by Gov. Gina Raimondo and the Reinvent Medicaid Working Group. Senate Health and Human Services Committee Chairman Joshua Miller (DDist. 28, Cranston, Warwick) and Sen. Louis P. DiPalma (D-Dist. 12, Little Compton, Middletown, Newport, Tiverton) were members of the Reinvent Medicaid Working Group that developed the plan, which was heard before the Senate Finance Committee. Immediately following the Revenue Estimating Conference last Friday, Senate President M. Teresa Paiva Weed (D-Dist. 13, Jamestown, Newport) said her priorities for increased revenues include adequately funding the transition to new Medicaid models of care. “I am very grateful to Senators Miller and DiPalma for their service to the working group,” said Paiva Weed. “They brought important expertise and perspective. I appreciate the analysis of Chairman Da Ponte and the Finance Committee, and I thank every senator for their commitment to getting Medicaid right.” She continued, “It is critical that we support community-based investments to meet the Senate’s goal of improved services while restructuring for a sustainable budget. The members of the Senate have proposed a variety of initiatives that need to be considered as we undertake this process.” She noted that investments can be made that ensure quality care and produce savings. “We need to be able to retain qualified workers in very difficult but rewarding and necessary fields,” she said. “Reducing turnover in nursing homes means better care and fewer costly hospital stays. Long term caregivers and developmental disability providers should be paid more than minimum wage. At the same time, we can save funds through initiatives such as emergency room diversion and integra- Paiva Weed honored by Women’s Fund PROVIDENCE — The Women’s Fund of Rhode Island has selected President of the Senate M. Teresa Paiva Weed as this year’s recipient of the Susan L. Farmer Award, in honor of “her pioneering roles in government leadership and her support for Rhode Island’s groundbreaking Temporary Caregivers Insurance program.” The award was to be presented to Paiva Weed by Gov. Gina M. Raimondo at a ceremony to be held Thursday night at the Lincoln School in Providence. In announcing this year’s award recipient, Jenn Steinfeld, Executive Director of the Women’s Fund, called President Paiva Weed “an unsung leader for women across the state.” “Her commitment to women’s economic security is unwavering, and she understands how important public policy is to ensuring that women are able to fully participate in the workforce and in government,” said Steinfeld. “She was a champion for paid family leave, and her skillful stewardship of Temporary Caregiver Insurance has placed Rhode Island at the vanguard of family friendly workplace policies.” Join tion of behavioral care and primary care,” she added. Miller has championed efforts to change the way health care services are reimbursed. “The transformation toward reimbursement based on value rather than volume is one that will lead to better health outcomes while reducing health care costs,” said Miller. “A perfect example of this is the integration of behavioral health and primary care, which brings about better results at lower costs.” DiPalma, a member of the Senate Finance Committee, also expressed support for changing the way business is being done today. “The Finance Committee will look carefully at the assumptions that are being made in this amended budget article, but we know that we need to do things differently.

Bush (to put it mildly), but on immigration reform, his heart was in the right place. Back in 2004, Bush began to push for a guestworker program that would have given legitimacy to millions of undocumented immigrants, who otherwise would have been forced to remain huddled in the shadows. The program wouldn't have been as good as a path to citizenship, or an amnesty like the one Ronald Reagan enacted in 1986. But it would have been a good start. Unfortunately, it never happened. Instead of being defeated by Democrats, Bush was thwarted by his own party. Grass-roots conservatives, led by former Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo and talkradio hosts, took up arms against the program. Bush was defeated, and immigration reform was delayed. Now we're witnessing a similar moment, only this time it's the Democrats' turn. President Barack Obama has been stymied so far in his attempt to get so-called fasttrack trade authority, which would be extremely helpful in passing the TransPacific Partnership (TPP), a trade deal among a dozen Pacific Rim countries. The charge is being led by Elizabeth Warren, the U.S. senator from Massachusetts who has emerged as the leader of the populist wing of the Democratic Party. I admire Warren a lot for the work she has done on financial reform, including the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. I have no doubt that her heart is in the right place -- she wants to protect low-income American workers from the inequality that can result from trade expansion. But in the case of the TPP, I believe Warren and the populist Democrats are misguided. Like Tancredo and the conservatives who defeated Bush's immigration plan a decade ago, Warren and the anti-TPP movement are doing more harm than good. The populist Democrats are worried that trade deals will ship U.S. jobs overseas. In a speech to the Roosevelt Institute think tank, Warren declared: "Over and over, America's workers have taken the brunt of bad trade deals...We can't keep pushing through trade deals that benefit multinational companies at the expense of workers...Working people cannot be forced to give up more and more as they get squeezed harder and harder." This sentiment is understandable, because American workers have been squeezed for decades, and trade -- or, more generally, globalization -- has been a big part of that. Labor's share of income has drifted down to historic lows, and evidence indicates that globalization was the main culprit. But there are two big reasons why the TPP is different. First, past deals to liberalize trade -such as the entry of China into the World Trade Organization in 2000 -- were focused on trade with developing countries. These countries, including China, have a lot of labor and not much capital in the form of roads, buildings and machines. When we open up trade with them, the global supply of labor becomes more abundant, and hence less valuable -- American workers end up competing with overseas workers who can do half the job for a tenth of the price. This is known as factor price GUEST COMMENTARY By Noah Smith equalization. It tends to drive wages down, killing good blue-collar jobs in areas such as manufacturing that can be easily outsourced. The TPP is different. It's mostly about trade with Japan and South Korea. These are rich countries, with tons of capital and very high labor costs. In fact, Japan's labor costs are so high that Japanese auto manufacturers now build a lot of factories in the U.S. American workers are not going to lose out to the Japanese and South Koreans. Yes, TPP does include a few poor countries, such as Indonesia. But compared with China, those countries are small potatoes. Very few manufacturing jobs will be lost to low- productivity Indonesia that haven't already been lost to medium- productivity China. The second reason TPP isn't like past trade deals is the intellectual property protection. These provisions have had libertarians up in arms -- Rand Paul, for example, has joined the TPP opposition. Democrats who don't like the direction libertarians have taken our country since 1980 should think twice before getting on the bandwagon with their old adversaries on economic issues. There is one type of activity that is very hard for U.S. companies to send offshore: innovation. But when Asian countries can just ignore U.S. patents, innovation becomes less profitable. Stronger international IP protection will help U.S. companies export more, which makes them hire more American workers, which increases the amount that those workers spend on the local economy. Yes, there are many problems with the U.S.'s intellectual property laws. But international harmonization of IP wouldn't exacerbate these problems. So Elizabeth Warren and the populist Democrats have good intentions, but they're attacking the wrong enemy. Globalization was a Pandora's box in 2000, when it was all about China. But we already opened Pandora's box. The monsters have already escaped, and the Democratic populists are 15 years too late. Now all they're doing is increasing the odds of scuttling a useful deal.

For more columns from Bloomberg View, visit http://www.bloomberg.com/view As others see it: Amtrak The following editorial appears on Bloomberg View: An "absolute, disastrous mess" is how Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter described Tuesday's Amtrak derailment in which eight passengers were killed and more than 200 injured. And though it will be some time before its causes and consequences are fully assessed, one point is already clear, and one question already imperative: Technology exists to prevent speeding trains. Why wasn't Amtrak using it? Federal investigators say the train was cruising at 106 mph on a curve with a speed limit of 50 mph, and the engineer applied the emergency brakes too late. For years, regulators have prodded the railroad industry to adopt something called positive train control, a communications system in which a train's speed and location can be monitored and its brakes automatically applied when it exceeds certain speed limits or comes too close to other trains. After a deadly crash in 2008 in which a train operator blew through a red light while sending text messages, Congress required that the system be put in place by the end of 2015 for routes that carry passenger traffic or dangerous materials. Yet with the deadline quickly approaching, Amtrak still doesn't have this system on all parts of its busiest route -- the Northeast Corridor, which carries roughly a third of all its passengers -- and it was unavailable on the stretch of track where the accident occurred Tuesday. Far cheaper and more ubiquitous technology that simply detects excessive speeding also seems to have failed. There's no small hypocrisy here. Amtrak -- with federal oversight and roughly $1 billion annually in public funding -- has failed to fully implement positive train control even while Congress has forced freight-rail companies across the country to do so on their own dime (or billions of dimes, as it were). In Congress, meanwhile, a House committee on Wednesday rejected a proposal to spend $825 million to help railroad companies pay for the required upgrades. Even by congressional standards, that defies reason. Politics aside, the sooner this system can be put in place across the entire Northeast Corridor, the better. In the longer term, the goal should be to move U.S. passenger rail toward full automation. Technology exists to safely operate trains with little or no human intervention: Around the world, more than 30 urban metro systems do so. It would of course be more difficult for a major national railroad system. And the idea enrages unions and unsettles many passengers. But as more and more of everyday life is automated, the public should grow more comfortable with the idea -- especially if preventable disasters like this one continue.

Something is stirring in the religious world Will we regard poverty as a haunting national problem, or will the focus groups continue to tell politicians of all stripes to talk only about the middle class because mentioning the poor is politically toxic? Might the condition of low-income Americans galvanize religious people to see alleviating poverty and righting social injustice as moral issues? The habit in political writing when discussing “moral issues” is to refer only to abortion or gay marriage. But E.J. Dionne what implicates morality more than the way we, as a society and as individuals, treat those who are cut off from the ladders of advancement and the treasures of prosperity? And can we find a way of thinking constructively about the role of family breakup in setting back the life chances of poor kids while still recognizing that family life itself is being battered by rising economic inequality, the loss of well-paying blue-collar jobs, racism and mass incarceration? These are some of the questions I am left with after moderating a discussion about poverty at Georgetown University this week. For all the obvious journalistic reasons, it’s not my habit to write about events in which I participate. But this particular panel was a bit different from the usual policy talkfest. It included Robert Putnam, the author of “Our Kids” — a book that should focus our energies on the growing opportunity gap between lower-income and better-off children — and Arthur Brooks, the president of the American Enterprise Institute, who has been urging his fellow conservatives to “declare peace on the safety net.” It also happened to include the president of the United States. Others can judge more objectively how the discussion went. What’s obvious is that presidents don’t usually do panels and that the spirit of this one broke from so much of what we’ve grown accustomed to, in its civility and even good humor. Yet I was also reminded how far we have to go before we achieve anything close to consensus about what is to be done to liberate the least among us. The fact that it took place at all is a tribute to religious leaders (particularly the Catholics and evangelical Christians involved in organizing the Poverty Summit, as the event sponsoring the panel was called) who are trying to push the alleviation of poverty to the top of the faithful’s agenda. Something is stirring in the religious world. Pope Francis certainly has something to do with this, but there’s also the tug of history. Religious groups were long at the forefront of our nation’s movements for civil rights and economic justice. People of faith are reassuming their rightful place in these struggles. President Obama clearly wants to push that trend along. He acknowledged that he might be “self-interested” in this: He is closest to religious Christians on social justice questions and furthest away on abortion and same-sex marriage. But he insisted that religious Americans have a “transformative voice” that could alter the nation’s trajectory on poverty. He also mentioned that social justice concerns have “incredible appeal, including to young people.” The panel took place on a day when the Pew Research Center issued a report showing a remarkable decline of religious affiliation. Among the youngest millennials (those 25 and under), 36 percent are now religiously unaffiliated. A broader religious agenda might bring some of them back. Yet the session also highlighted the political and intellectual barriers to action. Brooks offered moving words urging his fellow conservatives to treat the poor as “brothers and sisters,” not as “liabilities to manage.” Obama welcomed Brooks’s witness, but noted the reluctance of so many conservatives to spend new public money to open up opportunity for the needy. “There’s been a very specific ideological push not to make those investments,” he said. The family issue remains neuralgic. Obama spoke powerfully about being “a black man who grew up without a father” and “the cost that I paid for that.” But his words can’t settle the ongoing and often divisive argument over whether family difficulties should be seen primarily as a cause of poverty or as the effect of poverty itself. That the right answer is complicated doesn’t make things any easier. Still, this doesn’t take away from the small miracle that the concerns of the poor briefly slipped into a political discussion usually focused far more on the doings of billionaire donors. Americans with low incomes can’t get much nourishment from words, and sentiments don’t create jobs. But for a moment, they weren’t invisible. Read more from E.J.

" Donald Neff, 84; author, Middle East expert Foreign correspondent for Time; specialized in Arab-Israeli issues By ADAM BERNSTEIN The Washington Post Donald Neff, a journalist and author who covered international news from Vietnam to Israel for Time and wrote acclaimed books about political and military strife in the Middle East, died May 10 at a nursing center in York, Pennsylvania. He was 84. The cause was coronary heart disease and diabetes, said his companion, Janet McMahon, managing editor of the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. After joining Time in 1965, Neff spent nearly two years as a Saigon correspondent and later was bureau chief in Houston (where he covered the Apollo moon landing), Los Angeles, Jerusalem and New York before leaving the magazine in 1979. He was one of the first journalists to report on the Jonestown massacre in 1978 when more than 900 members of a religious commune in Guyana died of mass cyanide poisoning. The next year, he chronicled the 1979 nuclear accident at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania. Soon afterward, Neff settled in Washington and worked briefly as an editor for the old Washington Star newspaper before embarking as a career as an author and freelance writer. His books included a trilogy about the Arab-Israeli conflicts of 1956, 1967 and 1973: “Warriors at Suez: Eisenhower Takes America into the Middle East” (1981), “Warriors for Jerusalem: The Six Days That Changed the Middle East” (1984) and “Warriors Against Israel” (1988). Reviewers praised the volumes for combining narrative thrust with compelling insights on Middle East tensions. Writing about “Warriors Against Israel” in a Washington Post review, Archibald B. Roosevelt, a grandson of President Theodore Roosevelt and former high-level CIA official with expertise in the Middle East, called the book “not only a well-documented and authoritative account, but a riveting exposé of how Henry Kissinger nudged the United States from its position as umpire in the contest to one of strong alliance with Israel.” Roosevelt said that he “was impressed by the originality of Neff’s presentation and surprised by his devastating conclusions, assembled from facts previously known to most of us only piecemeal. It is not only a good read, but essential background for serious students of developments in the Middle East today.” fundamental divide within the Democratic Party. It also has turned the tables in Congress, where Democrats once delighted in watching Republicans struggle with their conservative tea party faction. Now it's Republicans who are amused and making the most of a Democratic split. “You've got the energy of the Elizabeth Warren faction kind of driving the agenda” for Democrats, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Wednesday on CNBC. “I want to compliment the president — the way he took on the base, he took on Elizabeth Warren, he took on the labor unions.” Obama’s request for negotiating authority was back on track Thursday after an embarrassing procedural loss Tuesday, when only one Democrat voted Republicans side with president WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Barack Obama huffed that Elizabeth Warren, the Massachusetts senator and established liberal star, was a “politician like everybody else,” he revealed a rift that predates the current hostilities between the two Democrats over trade. Though occasional allies, Warren has been aggravating the Obama administration since her pre-Senate days when she chaired an oversight panel charged with being a watchdog over the massive federal bank bailout. But the dispute over Obama’s efforts to get trade negotiating authority from Congress and complete a 12-nation Pacific rim trade deal goes to the heart of a with the president on a motion to begin debate on trade, even though about a dozen support his overall goal. Democrats have long been suspicious of trade deals, blaming them for job losses and lax enforcement. Warren and her allies have dug further, building on those concerns to make a case that Obama is negotiating an agreement that is secret from the public, places U.S. sovereignty at risk, and could roll back U.S. financial regulations. “She’s absolutely wrong,” Obama said in an interview with Yahoo! that aired over the weekend. “Elizabeth is a politician like everybody else and she has a voice that she wants to get out there.” That remark prompted Sen. Sherrod Brown, an Ohio Democrat who has been among Warren’s top BOSTON (AP) — Parishioners of the St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Church must end their 11-year protest vigil and vacate the shuttered Roman Catholic church, a Massachusetts judge ruled Thursday. But the Friends of St. Frances, the group that has been occupying the Scituate church day and night since 2004, say they’re not going anywhere. They intend to ask the state court to stay the ruling pending an appeal. “As of today, nothing changes,” Jon Rogers, one of the organizers, declared late Thursday. “From Day One, we made a promise that we would exhaust every appeal that was available to us, and that includes the U.S. Supreme Court, if necessary.” The Archdiocese of Boston, which had sued to evict the group, urged protesters to end the vigil and respect the judge’s ruling, which it called “clear and thoughtful.” In a statement, it invited the protesters to “participate and join in the fullness of parish life.” & " ' % ( " ! & %! $ ))* +, , % "" & -" $ - " -" # . ," - "" $ + "" % " + / !& 0 1& ! 2+" & 2 , $$ , . -" 3+ " "" % , 2 " - "- , 4!!+"&-& ‘Baby Shacks’ back on Federal Hill PROVIDENCE (AP) — A former New England mob boss is back on Federal Hill after spending more than four years in prison for extorting payments in Providence strip clubs. A Bureau of Prisons spokesman says Luigi “Baby Shacks” Manocchio checked into a halfway house on Tuesday after leaving a low-security prison in North Carolina. He is now living in his old apartment on Atwells Avenue on home confinement. The 87-year-old Manocchio pleaded guilty in 2012 to charges that he helped shake down strip clubs for protection money. He was sentenced to five and a half years in prison. Steven O’Donnell, head of the Rhode Island State Police, says the former boss of the Patriarca crime family is well known among law enforcement.

Mitch Stewart, a former senior adviser to Obama’s presidential campaigns and now a consultant for a protrade advocacy group, predicted the Obama-Warren relationship can survive the disagreement. This dispute, however, comes at an awkward time for Hillary Rodham Clinton, who as Obama’s secretary of State once called the Trans-Pacific negotiations the “gold standard” for fair trade. Now, as a presidential candidate who feels the pressure of Warren’s national prominence, she is sounding more skeptical, and her lack of endorsement has been conspicuous. A former Harvard professor, Warren burst onto the Washington scene after the 2008 financial crisis as a vigorous advocate for consumer financial protections. In his ruling, Norfolk County Superior Court Judge Edward Leibensperger declared the former parishioners were “unlawfully and intentionally” trespassing on the church and said they would be barred from the property effective May 29. The ruling followed a one-day bench trial earlier this month in which lawyers for the archdiocese argued the group was trespassing on church-owned property. Lawyers for the Friends of St. Frances argued that the group had a right to occupy the space and that church law must be considered in the case. Leibensperger disputed that notion. “The right to control access to one’s property invokes no ecclesiastic issue,” he wrote in his 16-page ruling. “An owner of a property has clear and unequivocal interest, supported by property law, to prevent uninvited and unsupervised persons from being inside the building.” Rogers, the protest organizer, called the ruling and the abbreviated trial “incredibly disappointing.” allies on the trade issue, to rebuke the president for being “disrespectful.” “I think that the president has made this more personal than he needed to,” Brown said. Obama on Thursday sought to defuse the tension between the two, noting that his domestic agenda is virtually the same as hers and that of other liberals, except for trade. “The issue with respect to myself and Elizabeth has never been personal,” he said during a news conference at the presidential retreat at Camp David, Maryland. “There are a whole bunch of some of my best friends in the Senate as well as in the House, some of my earliest supporters, who disagree with me on this.” While the Obama-Warren spat highlights the deep Democratic split over trade, Judges orders parishioners to end occupation of closed Boston church Donald Lloyd Neff was born Oct. 15, 1930, in York, Pennsylvania.

He now wants to meet up with the person. Turns out, it was a woman. I’m not usually a jealous person, but it’s all he ever talks about every single minute of the day. He wants to meet her two hours from where we live. I am fine with it, but I’m tired of hearing how “great” she is. What can I do to keep the peace in my house? — WIFE OF A TRANSPLANT DEAR WIFE: Because of your husband’s donor, you are a wife and not a widow. A step in the right direction would be to regard her as the person who saved your husband's life at a point when you could have lost him. Of course he thinks she is “great.” Not everyone is willing to be tested to see if it’s possible to BE a bone marrow donor. I think she is great, too. Please calm down. With the passage of time, your husband will not feel the need to speak about her as often. DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend booked a cruise with his ex-wife to cele- DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips DEAR WAITING: When parents separate, most children hope and pray they will find a way to get back together. If your boyfriend and his ex are sure that isn't going to happen, then it really isn't right to bunk together and get their son's hopes up only to be disappointed when the ship returns to shore. That this man acts like your feelings are irrelevant and isn't always truthful are huge red flags and do not bode well for your future if you continue with him. I don't know how much time you have invested, but if more of the same is what's in store, you'd be better off to cut your losses and bail. brate their son’s eighth birthday. They plan to share the same cabin. He has mentioned at least twice in the past that she wants him back, but now he denies having said it. I didn’t expect him to pay for my ticket (I can afford it), but an invite would have been nice. I have included him in my children’s celebrations and have stood by him through difficult times. I have yet to meet the ex, so there’s no animosity between us. When I suggested separate cabins would be appropriate and affordable considering they had booked a suite, and two regular cabins are about half the price, he flat-out told me I’m not invited. He says this isn’t about “us” but about his son, whom I get Horoscope ^ WGBH A B C D 2 2 2 2 $ WBZ 4 % WCVB 5 & WLNE 6 _ WHDH 7 * WJAR 10 10 , WPRI 12 9 WFXT 6 9 D WSBE 8 15 9 9 F WSBK 8 14 14 L WGBX 21 21 16 16 X WLVI 9 12 12 11 ¥ WBPX μ WPXQ 6:30 PBS NewsHour (N) Å WBZ News CBS Evening 4 4 (N) Å News/Pelley NewsCenter 5 ABC World 5 5 at 6:00 (N) News ABC6 News at ABC World 6pm (N) News 7 News at 6PM NBC Nightly 7 7 (N) News (N) NBC 10 News at NBC Nightly 10 6pm (N) News (N) 12 News at 6 CBS Evening News/Pelley Fox 25 News at 6 (N) Å 13 13 < WLWC ∞ WNAC 6 PM 20 15 15 7 CABLE Modern Fam- Modern Family Å ily Å World News Nightly BusiAmerica ness Report Two and a Half Two and a Half Men Men Curious George Curious George Å Å The Middle The Middle “The Test” “Christmas” Entertainment Eyewitness Tonight (N) News Cold Case An unkown killer commits a shocking act.

You've had enough attention through the years that you don't long to be noticed. In fact, you often prefer to go under the radar. It's the good that you do anonymously that will mean the most to you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Choose your help carefully. The person who can't be bothered with details is likely to get many things wrong, while the person who is too detail-oriented may never get to the big picture. CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you think you can do it, you probably can. The real question to ask yourself is: Will it be worth the effort it takes? In other words, do you want it enough? LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). No one likes to be kept waiting around. The most important virtue of the day will be promptness. It's a way of paying respect and showing your organizational skills, too. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). What irritates you about another person is a window into your own psyche. Turn this irritation back on yourself, and you'll come to a new understanding. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People go to great lengths to avoid boredom, when in fact boredom is an incredibly useful emotion. It's what spurs people to learn new skills. Agree to go through the boredom, and let it lead you to improvement. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You'll create something out of the pieces you've collected along the way. The way you assemble things is so fresh, it makes it seem like everything old is new again. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Like-minded friends are the cosmic gift of the day. Being able to speak your thoughts (and be understood) will feel so good that you'll wonder how you were able to stay quiet for so long. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your experience puts you in a special category, and people will be very interested in what you think — but not in everything you think. Better to filter yourself too strictly than to say too much. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It will take a team effort to pull off today's tasks, and your team will only be as strong as its weakest link. Use a forthright approach to find out whom you can count on. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may set out on a solo mission, but you won't be alone. Your politeness and consideration will win you the support of those around you. Each problem you solve will help you solve the next one. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Second chances abound, and so do third and fourth chances. Tests can be retaken, mail can be resent, relationships can start fresh. So why not ease up on yourself? along with. I love this man and feel this isn’t just about trust, although he has been less than truthful lately. I don’t want to have to wonder what happened in that cabin when their son was asleep or at the kids’ club or when they had a bit too much to drink. Am I unreasonable in thinking sharing such close quarters with an ex is inappropriate? Should I jump ship from this relationship? He clearly could care less about my feelings. — WAITING AT THE DOCK 6:30 7 PM FRIDAY EVENING MAY 15, 2015 7:30 Greater BosBasic Black (N) ton Å Wheel of For- Jeopardy! tune (N) (N) Å Inside Edition Chronicle Å (N) Å The Insider Inside Edition (N) Å (N) Å Access HolExtra (N) Å lywood (N) NBC 10 News at Extra (N) Å 7pm (N) Wheel of For- Jeopardy! tune (N) (N) Å Dish Nation TMZ (N) Å (N) Å The Big Bang The Big Bang Theory Å Theory Å A Lively Experi- Are You Being ment Served?

The purchase and sale agreement signed Wday was the result of a year-long effort by Memorial Hospital President and COO Edward Schottland, BVCHC Executive Director Raymond Lavoie, Dr. Michael Fine (formerly director of the state Department of Health), and Central Falls Mayor James Diossa. The site is a 19,000-square-foot, three-story medical building that will (almost) triple BVCHC’s primary care and mental health services space in Central Falls and will enable the non-profit health provider to add dental care for its patients. In addition, Memorial will lease back space for its ambulatory and urgent care units, diagnostic imaging service, and physical and occupational medicine program. The sale is part of an over-arching plan to create a neighborhood health station on the property where residents can find care for their physical and mental health needs, wellness programs that could include a pool and gym, and lectures about various health care topics. “The long-term vision for the building will be to create a place where 90 percent of the health and wellness needs of the community can be met,” says Lavoie. “This building has huge advantages because it’s centrally located and has ample parking. Phase one of the vision will address primary care needs and later phases will add ancillary support services.” “Memorial Hospital is committed to providing access to quality health care and wellness programs in the community and this visionary move exemplifies that commitment,” says Schottland. “This announcement is great news for the City of Central Falls and our partners at BVCHC and Memorial Hospital,” said Central Falls Mayor, James Diossa. The development and investment in the city by our community partners has been overwhelming and exciting. I’m looking forward to continued work with Ray Lavoie, Ed Schottland, and Dr. Fine to bring a neighborhood health station to our community.” The sale of 1000 Broad St. will close in September, for a purchase price of $720,000. BVCHC plans to invest $5 million in renovating the facility to meet its short and long-term needs. The new dental suite of offices, made possible with a generous grant from Delta Dental of Rhode Island, will be known as The Delta Dental Clinic at Blackstone Valley Community Health Care.

Mary Lee Partington, PAF Artistic Director SPORTS Blackstone Valley Pic of the Day Sponsor THE TIMES, Friday, May 15, 2015 — B1 Baseball MASON ACE’N: Palmieri pitches Lions past Middletown Sophomore Kyle Sheehan also stars in 8-0 Lincoln win By JON BAKER [email protected] LINCOLN – As always, Lincoln High senior Mason Palmieri delivered. The overpowering, 6-foot-5, 220-pound righty, whose next athletic and academic stop will be at Bryant University on scholarship come August, fired a premier two-hitter with five walks and eight through 5 1/3 innings as the Lions coasted to an easy 8-0 Division I-A conquest of Middletown at Chet Nichols Memorial Field on Thursday afternoon. The quintet of walk – in addition to a hit batsman – irritated Palmieri, who felt he was being squeezed, but he gained some revenge at the plate, going 2-for-4 with a triple, RBI and two runs scored. “It’s nice to play from out in front; that’s not usually our M.O.,” said skipper Andy Hallam, referring to Lincoln’s taking of a commanding 7-0 cushion after two. “We usually have to rely on our great pitchers to get us through, and Mason did that. “He threw whatever he wanted, when he wanted, and did a great job as always,” he continued. “Mason has been such a leader for us, and he showed his supreme character for us here. This was a reminder of just how talented he really is.” While Palmieri starred, there were others who played pivotal roles in the victory, one that pushed the Lions to 14-1 overall and 12-1 in I-A action. Sophomore Connor Sheehan not only finished 3-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored, but also made a minimum of three Lincoln High senior Mason Palmieri delivered another sterling performance on Thursday against Middletown, throwing 5.1 shutout innings, allowing only two hits and striking out five. He also slugged a triple and a single, scoring two runs and driving in one in the 8-0 Lions win. File photo See LIONS, page B4 Commentary American Legion Baseball Could Sauveur have saved this Red Sox staff? Former PawSox pitching coach was passed over baseball coach at North Smithfield High School. Girard said they share many of the same theories and philosophies on the game and the Legion program. After tryouts, it’s just a few short weeks to the season opener, slated for June 16. The five-week season includes about 26 games for the senior division and 18 games for the junior division. Following the regular season, playoffs last into early August, or longer for the team that wins the PAWTUCKET – The door swing wide open when the Red Sox cut ties with Juan Nieves has officially closed after they settled on new pitching coach Carl Willis. It got me thinking about Rich Sauveur, the former PawSox pitching coach who resigned last season following a successful seven-year stint with the Triple-A ballclub. Had Sauveur still been with Pawtucket, might he have finally received the big-league summons that proved elusive during his PawSox tenure? Alas, we’ll never know the answer. One thing we can glean from Boston’s decision to go outside the organization to replace Nieves is that Ben Cherington and John Farrell believe Bob Kipper and Ralph Treuel are more valuable in their current roles as Pawtucket’s pitching coach and Red Sox minor-league pitching coordinator, BRENDAN respectively. McGAIR The Red Sox could have gone outSports side the ranks even if Sauveur was still Writer overseeing the PawSox staff, and no one would have blinked an eye. The likely reasoning would have been Sauveur’s lack of big-league coaching experience coupled with the front office’s desire to have him continue building upon the working relationship with Brian Johnson, Eddie Rodriguez and Henry Owens. Then again, such upheaval might not have been a detriment considering Kipper already had established a foundation with the three left-handers before this season. If Sauveur did get the call to join Boston, surely the next move would been elevating Kipper from the Double-A ranks. Here’s why Sauveur would have been a strong option to replace Nieves. For starters, he’s been around long enough that he can probably recite the Red Sox’ See LEGION, page B3 See SAUVEUR, page B3 Left photo by Ernest A.

THEY’RE ON DECK New leaders of Woonsocket’s Fairmount Post 85 hope to maintain winning tradition By SETH BROMLEY [email protected] WOONSOCKET – When local ballplayers try out the next two weekends for the Woonsocket-based Navigant Fairmont Post 85 American Legion Baseball team, they’ll become participants in one of the oldest traditions in youth sports. The national institution of American Legion Baseball will celebrate its 90th anniversary this season, making it one of the most venerable organizations in ama- teur sports in the U.S. For Navigant Post 85, that tradition has been upheld locally for many years through the stewardship of longtime co-managers Jim Gauthier and Buster Perreault – the duo led Navigant to back-to-back state Legion championships in 2012 and 2013. This season they’ll be passing the baton to new leadership, program director Steve Girard and senior team manager Tom Forbes. They’ll officially start their season together at the helm during team tryouts this Sunday, from noon to 3 p.m. at Renaud Field. A second round of tryouts is slated for Sunday, May 24, also from noon to 3 p.m. at Renuad. A former president and treasurer of East Woonsocket Little League, Girard’s role with the program will be chiefly administrative – his role also encompasses the junior division program, Tasca Buick/GMC Post 85 team. Girard will also be involved as an assistant coach. Forbes has extensive high school coaching experience, most notably as an assistant NFL Brady appeals suspension on deflated balls; Pats rebut NFL HOWARD ULMAN and JIMMY GOLEN AP Sports Writers FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady appealed the four-game suspension he was handed for his role in using deflated footballs during the AFC championship game, and the players union urged Commissioner Roger Goodell to appoint a neutral arbitrator to hear the case. The expected appeal was filed by the NFL Players Association on Thursday about an hour before a 5 p.m. Eastern deadline. The league’s collective bargaining agreement stipulates that it will be decided by Goodell or a person he designates. But the players union said in a news release that “given the NFL’s history of inconsistency and arbitrary decisions in disciplinary matters, it is only fair that a neutral arbitrator hear this appeal.” The union did not detail the basis for the appeal. But in a 20,000-word rebuttal posted online by the Patriots’ lawyers earlier Thursday, the team disputed the conclusions on matters of science, logic and law. Attorney Daniel Goldberg’s response claims the league’s conclusions are “at best, incomplete, incorrect and lack context,” claiming as one example that the “deflator” nickname used by a ballboy and cited in the discipline was about weight loss, not footballs. Goldberg represented the team and was present during all of interviews of team personnel. Patriots spokesman Stacey James confirmed that the site wellsreportcontext.com was genuine and “approved/supported by the team.” The NFL suspended the quarterback for four games on Monday, also fining the defending Super Bowl champions $1 million and taking away two draft picks. Brady’s appeal only deals with the suspension and must be heard within 10 days. The team has not said if it will appeal its penalties, which include a firstround draft pick next year and a fourth-rounder in 2017, before a May 21 deadline. See BRADY, page B2 Patriots quarterback Tom Brady isn’t too happy about his fourgame suspension from the NFL, and on Thursday the NFL Players Association announced his intention to appeal.

Call 767-8545 Friday, May 15, 2015 College Baseball Bryant takes game 1, earns share of fourth-straight NEC title SMITHFIELD – Junior Kyle Wilcox (Sandy Hook, Conn.) allowed just one over eight solid innings and the Bryant University baseball team claimed at least a share of its fourth-straight Northeast Conference Regular-Season title with a 4-1 victory over Wagner on Thursday afternoon at Richmond County Bank Ballpark. The Bulldogs (25-21, 16-5 NEC) now lead the Seahawks (25-20-1, 13-8) by three games and need one more win to secure the league title outright. Thursday's much anticipated opener featured two of the top prospects in the NEC in Wilcox and Wagner starter Nolan Long. Wilcox won the battle, allowing just one run, four hits, one walk while striking out three over eight innings to earn his seventh win of the year. Long allowed just two hits but walked five and allowed four runs (two earned) in 5.1 innings. Junior Buck McCarthy (Saugus, Mass.) gave the Black and Gold the early edge on Thursday. He got ahead 2-1 before launching a solo home run well over the left field wall with one out in the second. It was his fourth home run of the year. Wagner responded with a run in the bottom of the second. Nick Dini singled to open the inning and a walk and a throwing error loaded the bases with one out. Sean Mazzio then tied the game with an infield single to deep short. Wilcox buckled down to strikeout the next batter before inducing a Brady The NFL says: Texts in which locker room attendant Jim McNally refers to himself as “the deflator” are an indication that he was taking air out of footballs after they were inspected by the referees. His texts with equipment assistant John Jastremski also include a reference to a providing him with a needle. The team says: McNally used the term “deflator” refer to his desire to lose weight, as in the text, “deflate and give somebody that jacket.” And the needle was necessary because McNally was sometimes responsible for getting an inflation needle to referees for pregame testing. THE SCIENCE: The NFL says: The footballs provided by the Patriots lost more air pressure between the pregame test and halftime than could be explained by non-nefarious reasons. The team says: The league cherrypicked readings from two different gauges to create the biggest gap between pregame and halftime measurements. That overshadowed a difference in air pressure in some of the balls that could be explained by atmospheric conditions. Continued from page B1 League-appointed investigator Ted Wells claims that Brady was “at least generally aware” of plans by two team employees to prepare the balls to his liking, below the league-mandated minimum of 12.5 pounds per square inch. But the team’s rebuttal presented its own science that would explain the loss of pressure in a more innocuous way. “The most fundamental issue in this matter is: DOES SCIENCE EXPLAIN THE LOSS OF PSI IN THE PATRIOTS FOOTBALLS?” Goldberg wrote before concluding, also in all capital letters, that it does. The rebuttal also alludes to other incidents of ball-tampering that were not dealt with as harshly. And it says increased communication between Brady and the ballboys after the scandal broke were just normal expressions of concern, rather than evidence of the quarterback’s guilt. Here are some more of the claims and counter-claims in the Wells report and the Patriots’ rebuttal: THE DEFLATOR ground ball to third to end the threat. The Black and Gold then took advantage of two Wagner errors to score three runs in the decisive sixth inning. Sophomore Cole Fabio (Mahwah, N.J.) bunted back to the pitcher to start the sixth but Long threw the ball away. He then hit senior John Mullen (Walpole, Mass.) and AJ Zarozny (Shrewsbury, Mass.) advanced both with a sac bunt. The Seahawks then intentionally walked McCarthy to load the bases for Mickey Gasper (Merrimack, N.H.). Long induced a ground ball to short but the throw was wide at second, allowing two runs to score. Junior Dan Cellucci (Sudbury, Mass.) capped the inning with an RBI ground out. WHO IS “HE”? The NFL says: It’s Brady. A text message from Jastremski to McNally says: “Talked to him last night. He actually brought you up and said you must have a lot of stress trying to get them done.” The Patriots say: It is a leap of logic to conclude that the stress was related to football deflation. They refer, Goldberg wrote, to “Mr. Jastremski’s friend, as the investigators were told, and the conversation involved issues relating to Mr. McNally’s stress relating to reselling family tickets.” COOPERATION The NFL says: Brady obstructed the investigation by refusing to turn over his cellphone records. The team refused to make McNally available for a follow-up interview. Failure to cooperate in a league investigation is considered conduct detrimental to the league, and it opens the team and player up to severe penalties. The team says: The league already had access to Brady’s texts and calls with McNally and Jastremski through their phones. Also, if Wells’ investigators failed to ask all the questions the first time, it’s their fault.

SPORTS Friday, May 15, 2015 THE TIMES B3 Legion Continued from page B1 Rhode Island title and moves on the Northeast Regional. For aspiring young ballplayers, there’s no purer way to experience the thrills and the demands of the national pastime. “We have a highly-competitive brand of baseball that will get players ready to take the next step in their game,” said Girard. He said the condensed schedule and rigorous competition is great for preparing players to next the next step in their interscholastic careers, whether that’s for players just starting their high school careers, high school seniors looking to sharpen their skills before going to college. “We’ve got some good, solid coaching, we’re cheaper than the AAU travel teams, and we have some very competitive players you’re playing against,” Girard said. The Post 85 Navigant team draws in players from the city of Woonsocket, plus North Smithfield, Burrillville and students of Mount St. Charles Academy. Numerous Navigant players have gone on to college careers in recent years, including Brandon Rainville, Kory Lawrence, Tyler Geffert and Andreas Brackett, who were all teammates on the 2013 state title squad. Girard thinks re-creating that success is well within reach. Girard said. At least until the rosters are set and the teams can start practicing, Girard’s biggest focus will be on fundraising and securing local business sponsors to further relieve the cost burden for players. He said his main sponsors, Navigant Credit Union and Tasca Buick/GMC, have both been great partners for the program. Gauthier and Perreault will also still remain strong influences on the program as it transitions. “Buster and Jim have been a great part of the program for a very long time. They’re still going to be there to help guide me through,” Girard said. His hope is that he can carry their success forward a long time into the future. “I want to be involved for a long time – hopefully as long as Buster and Jim.” Photo by Ernest A. Brown Navigant Fairmount Post 85 team members Sam Hunt, Kyle Girard, Alex Denoylle, Derek Degnan and Caden Unwin, from left, take part in a car wash to benefit the team on Saturday. “We’ve got great ballplayers in the city of Woonsocket,” he said. “I really think we can get back to that.” Another distinction of American Legion ball is the use of wooden bats. The state’s Legion organizers made Rhode Island one of first states to make the switch, mandating a return to lumber back in 2011. Numerous states have since followed suit. “It give gives kids an opportunity to learn to hit in a different way. It’s a great brand of baseball,” one, but maybe if I could have gotten an interview here or there, at least I knew they were thinking about me,” said Sauveur, who as of this writing has yet to find another occupation in pro ball. Hindsight is believed to always be 20/20.

Still, it’s hard to imagine that the stars could have aligned any better for a longtime minor-league pitching coach to at long last move to the frontlines of the entire organization. Of course all of this hearsay talk is contingent upon Sauveur electing to return for an eighth season with Pawtucket. What could have been, indeed. Follow Brendan McGair on Twitter @BWMcGair03 File photo Former PawSox pitching coach Rich Sauveur left the organization after he learned he wouldn’t be considered for the major league pitching coach position. Sauveur Continued from page B1 pitching philosophy with his eyes closed. He knows what the expectations entail, something that could take an inseason addition such as Willis a turn or two through the starting rotation. Sauveur also has a history with Clay Buchholz and Justin Masterson from their time together in Pawtucket. Whether helping Masterson come back from injury, or helping Buchholz return to his previous success, the presence of a familiar voice (Sauveur) would figure to help more than hurt. Besides Buchholz and Masterson, the recent pitching roster includes the following that Sauveur had experience working with: Matt Barnes, Steven Wright, Junichi Tazawa, Craig Breslow and Tommy Layne. Since he would have spent time around Rick Porcello, Wade Miley and Joe Kelly during spring training, it’s conceivable that Sauveur would have had a significant leg up when setting foot in Boston’s clubhouse as opposed to Willis, who is starting completely from scratch. Perhaps Blake Swihart’s adjustment to big-league life would have been simplified had the promising catcher picked up where he left off with Sauveur. Forming a game plan that’s tailored around that day’s Red Sox starting pitcher was an area that Swihart was probably just getting the hang of when Nieves was let go. Now the 23-year-old has to begin anew with Willis and learn the new boss’s preferences and expectations with regards to calling a game. By bringing Sauveur into the fold – even if it was just on an interim basis with Boston revisiting the situation after the season – it stands to reason that his familiarity with the pitchers alone would have resulted in a relatively smooth transition. Along those lines, Sauveur dealt with Farrell quite a bit during the three seasons (2008-10) they overlapped as pitching coaches in the Red Sox system, with Farrell during that time serving as primary caretaker of the Boston staff. In an interview that took place a few weeks after Pawtucket won the 2014 Governors’ Cup, Sauveur stated, “it does pain me a little bit to walk away without finishing my dream in the Red Sox organization.” He also stated that he never once was afforded so much as “a token interview” whenever a pitching-coach vacancy at the Boston ranks arose. “You can’t please every- READER’S REWARDS GET YOUR NAME IN THE HAT Enter to win 4 tickets to: Pawtucket Red Sox 2015 General Admission Ticket Vouchers Twenty 4-packs of vouchers will be awarded.

Senior Ethan Guevremont and junior Mitch McCoy responded with straight-set singles wins before their teammates swept the doubles portion. They key verdict came at No. 1, when the freshman-senior tandem of Matt Dubois and Dan Bowen eked out a harrowing 6-2, 4-6, 6-4 win over Alex Donadio and Jake Hammarstrom. The Mounties improved to 14-1 in league action. Mount St. Charles 5, Classical 2 Singles: Austen Clark (Cl) def. Mike Doody, 6-1, 6-2; Colin Gui (Cl) def.

Their doubles’ counterparts – Santiago Durango-Austin Gillis at the top spot, Jiaqi Yang-Jason Li at the second – secured straight-set decisions to complete the sweep. Lions Continued from page B1 sterling plays at shortstop to help keep Palmieri’s shutout intact. Junior Trevor Marques went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and two runs; senior Jason Doris 2-for-3 with two runs; classmate Jake Petrin 0-for-3 with a RBI and a run; fellow 12th-grader Ryan Havunen 1-for-4 with a RBI and run; and freshman Steve Andrews 0-for-1 with a RBI. The lone hit to enter the outfield for the Islanders (68 league) came off the bat of senior Mark Loyola with two out in the top of the second. Palmieri yielded just an infield single to senior catcher Liam O’Regan to open the fourth, and that was a story in itself. LHS jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the back half of the first, and it immediately didn’t bode well for senior righthander Jake Francis. Havunen reached on a botched grounder at third, then took second when Doris walked. Palmieri’s hit to left juiced the bags, and Marques’ groundout to second plated Havunen. Petrin followed with another groundout to short, but Doris scored, and – following a walk to Andrews – Sheehan roped a single down the left-field stripe to plate Palmieri. All told, the hosts sent nine to the plate. Following Loyola’s meaningless two-bagger in the second, the Lions rallied for a quartet in the bottom half, beginning with Doris’ fielder’s choice. Palmieri then pummeled an opposite-field triple to right, and Marques’ double to left scored him. The latter scooted to third on Francis’ lone wild delivery, the same pitch in which he walked Petrin. With runners at the corners, Petrin robbed second, and Andrews’ sacrifice fly to center plated Marques from third. Petrin later came around on Sheehan’s opposite-field hit to right. It appeared the Lions would notch another in the third after senior No. 9 batter Nate Taylor reached on an infield hit, but Havunen lined to rightfielder Mike Garvey, who promptly threw out Taylor at first for one of three Middletown double Friday, May 15, 2015 The Saints, who closed the league campaign at 10-3, also received singles wins from Myles Lefebvre and Ethan Mendes.

Doris followed with a double to the left-center gap, though Palmieri lined to left to end the threat. The Isles didn’t quit, however. O’Regan opened the fourth with that infield hit, one in which he beat Sheehan’s spectacular stopand-throw to first by a halfstep, and Palmieri walked Garvey. MHS senior Connor Meehan’s fly to center allowed O’Regan to tag to third, but Palmieri fanned Tim Powell. Loyola walked to load the bases, yet Palmieri’s breaker caught senior Chase Sinatra napping in the box. That strikeout closed the inning. Middletown loaded the bags again in the fifth courtesy of an error and two walks, but Palmieri forced Meehan to ground to second for the final out. LHS tacked on its final run in the back half after Sheehan reached on an infield hit, moved to third on junior Nate Donovan’s opposite-field single to right and scored on Havunen’s RBI groundout. Marques replaced Palmieri with one out in the sixth and finished without yielding a hit, though he had a walk, and whiffed four. Lincoln now has five tilts remaining, though one seems to be of utmost importance. It will host league-leading and unbeaten Hendricken at 7 p.m., next Thursday. “You have to give credit to Trevor,” Hallam stated later. “He usually gets recognized for his bat, but he can pitch, too. People have asked me why I don’t start him in the rotation, and it’s simple” If I can have him on the hill two or three times a week as opposed to one, who wouldn’t? He works really hard, and he’s very coachable. “As for Sheehan, we’ve worked with him the last week and a half; Coach (Dale) O’Dell and his son Ryan went over some footwork with him in certain situations, and he’s been spectacular at short,” he added. “If you can get help from the O’Dells, you take it, and it’s shown with Connor.” More SPORTS, Page B7 TODAY 2 p.m. 8 p.m. MLB — Pittsburgh at Chicago Cubs MLB — Regional coverage, Detroit at St. Louis or Cleveland at Texas 10:10 p.m. NESN, WEEI (103.7 FM) — Boston at Seattle MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL 7:05 p.m. WHJJ (920 AM) — Columbus at Pawtucket NBA BASKETBALL 7 p.m. ESPN — Playoffs, conference semifinals, game 6, Atlanta at Washington 9:30 p.m. ESPN — Playoffs, conference semifinals, game 6, Golden State at Memphis New York Tampa Bay Toronto Boston Baltimore Central Division W Kansas City Detroit Minnesota Chicago Cleveland West Division W Houston Los Angeles Seattle Texas Oakland W 21 19 17 16 15 L 14 16 18 18 17 W L 22 21 19 14 12 L Pct 13 14 16 17 21 W L 21 17 15 15 13 L Pct 13 17 18 20 23 East Division GB WCGB L10 — — 5-5 2 — 6-4 4 2 5-5 4½ 2½ 4-6 4½ 2½ 4-6 Central Division Pct WCGB GB WCGB L10 GB L10 Str .629 — — 6-4 .600 1 — 5-5 .543 3 — 6-4 .452 6 3 6-4 .364 9 6 4-6 West Division Pct WCGB GB WCGB L10 GB L10 Str .618 — — 4-6 .500 4 1½ 6-4 .455 5½ 3 5-5 .429 6½ 4 6-4 .361 9 6½ 2-8 Pct .600 .543 .486 .471 .469 Str L-2 W-2 L-1 W-1 W-1 Home 9-7 11-11 9-7 7-9 8-5 Away 12-7 8-5 8-11 9-9 7-12 Str Home Home Away W-1 11-5 W-1 11-8 L-1 12-5 W-2 10-5 L-1 6-12 Away 11-8 10-6 7-11 4-12 6-9 Str Home Home Away W-1 9-9 W-3 10-9 L-1 9-8 L-1 5-11 L-1 5-11 Away 12-4 7-8 6-10 10-9 8-12 ::: NATIONAL LEAGUE East Division W L W New York 20 Washington 19 Miami 16 Atlanta 15 Philadelphia 13 Central Division W W L St. Louis 24 Chicago 19 Cincinnati 17 Pittsburgh 17 Milwaukee 12 West Division W W L Los Angeles 22 San Diego 18 San Francisco 17 Arizona 15 Colorado 11 NATIONAL LEAGUE Pct L 15 16 19 19 23 L Pct 10 15 17 18 23 L Pct 11 17 17 18 19 East Division GB L10 Pct WCGB GB WCGB .571 — — .543 1 — .457 4 3 .441 4½ 3½ .361 7½ 6½ Central Division Pct WCGB GB WCGB GB L10 .706 — — .559 5 — .500 7 1½ .486 7½ 2 .343 12½ 7 West Division Pct GB WCGB GB WCGB L10 .667 — — .514 5 1 .500 5½ 1½ .455 7 3 .367 9½ 5½ Str L10 4-6 8-2 4-6 4-6 4-6 Home Away Str Home L-4 13-3 W-1 10-6 W-1 8-7 L-2 8-8 W-2 9-10 Away 7-12 9-10 8-12 7-11 4-13 L10 Str 6-4 6-4 5-5 5-5 5-5 Str Home Home Away W-1 14-3 W-4 11-7 W-2 8-6 L-2 9-7 L-2 8-15 Away 10-7 8-8 9-11 8-11 4-8 L10 Str Home Str Home Away 7-3 L-1 15-3 5-5 W-1 9-7 6-4 L-1 11-9 5-5 L-1 9-12 0-10 L-11 4-9 Away 7-8 9-10 6-8 6-6 7-10 MLB SCHEDULE AMERICAN LEAGUE Wednesday’s Games Boston 2, Oakland 0 Cleveland 2, St. Louis 0 Baltimore 6, Toronto 1 Minnesota 6, Detroit 2 Tampa Bay 3, N.Y.

SPORTS Friday, May 15, 2015 THE TIMES B7 Baseball Softball Clippers crush Barrington, 13-3 Tolman snares 2-1 pitcher’s duel over La Salle Academy CUMBERLAND – Cumberland High erupted for seven runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to break open a tight game and collect a 13-3 Division I-B blowout victory over Barrington at Tucker Field on Thursday. Senior Jax Domante helped that late surge, going 2-for-3 with a two-run homer in that final frame, four RBI and a run scored. Classmate Kyle Opiekun also went 2-for-3, but with a “mere” double, triple, two RBI and two runs. Senior righthander Ryan O’Neill earned the win after scattering seven hits and a walk while whiffing a trio, but also helped his own cause at the plate. He finished 2-for-3 with an RBI and run. “We hit the ball well again (Thursday) for the second straight day,” said head coach Andy Tuetken, whose Clippers improved to 8-4 in league action.

Parks pitches Saints past West Burrillville blows away Hope CRANSTON – Righty Hayden Parks yielded just four hits and three walks while fanning a half-dozen in a complete-game outing, handing Cranston West High a 6-2 Division I-A verdict over pesky St. Raphael on Thursday. Nick San Antonio clubbed a two-run double in the Falcons’ three-run third, but the Saints (1-13 league) sliced that deficit to 3-2 with Dylan Beauclair’s two-run dinger in the fourth. Cranston West, with help from Sam Franco (two hits, RBI, run), tacked on three more in the bottom half to seal it. Junior righthander Nate Vigeant went six full, allowing eight hits and five walks with two strikeouts for SRA. PROVIDENCE – Junior Mark Stead allowed just two hits and whiffed a pair in a superb complete-game performance to propel Burrillville High to a 13-1 mercy-rule bushwhacking of Hope in a Division III showdown on Thursday. The Broncos manufactured 11 hits in all, but also took advantage of the Blue Wave’s exorbitant six miscues in the field. They had led, 8-1, entering the top of the fifth, though gathered five runs to ice the tilt. Stead’s lone mistake came in the fourth, when he allowed Yendel Geronimo to blast a solo tater. With the win, Burrillville not only claimed its third straight, but also moved to 8-5, virtually assuring itself of a playoff spot.

NBA Top-seeded Warriors, Hawks try to advance AP Sports Writer Warriors at Grizzlies, Warriors lead 3-2, 9:30 p.m., ESPN The Golden State Warriors and Atlanta Hawks have regained control of their respective series, doing their best to restore order in the NBA playoffs. Though things can turn quickly in these series, and the league could easily fall right back into postseason chaos. That's exactly what the upset-minded Wizards and Grizzlies have in mind. Monday morning when the week started, the Hawks and Warriors both were down 2-1 in their series. Now a combined four wins and five days later, they head into road contests Friday night just one win away from the conference finals. The Warriors are looking to close out a second playoff series in the same postseason for the first time since winning the 1975 NBA title, and their confidence is high coming off a pair of impressive routs of the Memphis Grizzlies. A look at the two games: The Warriors have started knocking down 3s again with 14 in each of the past two games. They also figured out how to smother one of the league's best inside scoring teams, holding Memphis to 37 of 98 shooting in the paint in that span. All that poor shooting means neither Grizzlies forward Zach Randolph nor center Marc Gasol are getting to the free throw line. Randolph has attempted only three free throws the last two games combined, and Gasol is just 7 of 8. Worse, Gasol is 15 of 41 with both men taking too many shots too far away from the basket. Gasol said the Grizzlies have to get position closer to the basket quicker and beat the Warriors to their preferred position. They also need someone to knock down some perimeter shots to force Golden State to back somebody out defensively. "We'll give it everything we have, and hopefully it will work out for us," Gasol said. "We're going to try to exe- TERESA M. WALKER cute a little better, hold the ball as long as we have to." Hawks at Wizards, Hawks lead 3-2, 7 p.m., ESPN Veteran Paul Pierce has hit some timely 3s for Washington, and he nearly had his second game-winner in this series before Al Horford's rebound and putback gave Atlanta an 82-81 win in Game 5. Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said they have to be better defending Pierce. "The defense and activity and reactions to each other need to be better," Budenholzer said. "Probably the ones that were defended with multiple defenders, multiple contests, he's made. Still, we've got to be better." The Hawks also need more from Kyle Korver who is scoring just eight points a game in this series. He is 14 of 40 shooting (35 percent) and a little worse outside the arc (12 of 35). Korver credits the Wizards for sticking with him defensively. Wall is expected to play his second straight game Friday night even with the five fractures in his left hand.

Sophomore righty Megan Salzillo allowed five hits and a walk with four strikeouts for the Tigers (10-3 overall, 10-3 league), while CHS freshman southpaw Jocelyn Bodington yielded six hits and four walks with seven strikeouts. The Clippers (7-5) had gained the 1-0 cushion in the second when Emily Anderson singled to left, moved to second on Kat Kent’s hit and – with two down – scored on sophomore Kate Calabro’s single. Tolman eventually tied it up in the sixth after senior Megan Klemanchuck singled and took third on Kaitlyn Clement’s hit. When Clement chose to move up to second on that throw to third, Klemanchuck broke for home. It added the clincher in the top of the seventh when Emily Truesdale roped a hit to left, then took second on Sophie Marchese’s sacrifice bunt. Senior Leiandra Wilson punched a grounder to short, but umpires called Truesdale out for runner’s interference. Wilson then robbed second, and classmate Cristin Chiaverini’s single up the middle plated her. Tolman 000 001 1 - 2 – 6 – 0 Cumberland 010 000 0 - 1-5- 0 Megan Salzillo and Megan Klemanchuck.

Emily Larson produced three hits, one a three-run dinger, four RBI and three runs scored for the Northmen (6-7 overall, 6-5 league). Fellow senior Katie McMullin scattered just five hits and fanned the same amount to gain the win. The Chieftains fell to 3-9 in II-North.

Smithfield tops Lincoln SMITHFIELD – The redhot Ally Beaton finished 4for-4 with a trio of doubles, a triple and four RBI to rally Smithfield High past Lincoln, 8-6, in a Division I-North showdown on Thursday. The Lions (8-5 league) had held a 2-1 advantage after the first inning, but that’s when Beaton began her offensive surge. With the Sentinels up, 8-2, following a two-run fifth, gritty Lincoln manufactured a furious comeback with four runs in the top of the sixth, but it fell short. Bella DiOrio allowed all 13 of Smithfield’s hits, though fanned three. Meghan Long earned the victory after yielding six hits and striking out seven.

Nunez was a force both from the circle and at the plate. Nunez threw a complete-game 2-hit shutout, striking out seven. She also pounded out three hits, including a double, and drove in four runs. Woonsocket’s Tayla Sevigny was another offensive catalyst, going 3-for-3 with a double and two runs. The Novans are now 7-5, and they’ll be off until next Wednesday, when they travel to Burrillville to complete the home-and-home set.
