WOONSOCKET – A man who
was hospitalized after fighting with
his roommate outside a Fairmount
bar on Friday died at Rhode Island
Hospital two days later, the police
disclosed Tuesday.
Police spokeswoman Detective
Jamie Paone declined to identify
“We’re really not going to get
into too many specifics because it’s
an ongoing investigation and we’re
still trying to piece everything
together,” said Paone.
Amy Kempe, spokeswoman for
Attorney General Peter Kilmartin,
said Klemanchuck allegedly
punched his roommate at least once
during an incident that took place
outside the bar, which police identified as Charlie’s, located at 158
First Ave.
Despite his arrest, Klemanchuck
remains free pending an initial
appearance in court. Kempe said
Klemanchuck was arraigned at
police headquarters before a justice
of the peace following his arrest.
The justice of the peace released
Klemanchuck on $20,000 personal
recognizance until his court hearing.

The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Tens of thousands of immigrants who are in the
U.S. illegally but don't have serious
criminal records could be shielded
from deportation under a policy
change being weighed by Homeland
Security Secretary Jeh Johnson.
The change, if adopted following
a review ordered by President
Barack Obama, could limit removals
of people who have little or no criminal record but have committed
repeat immigration violations such
as re-entering the country illegally
after having been deported, or fail-
ing to comply with a deportation
order.
The possible move, confirmed by
two people with knowledge of the
review, would fall short of the
sweeping changes sought by
activists. They want Obama to
expand a two-year-old program that
grants work permits to certain immigrants brought here illegally as children to include other groups, such as
the parents of any children born in
the U.S.
John Sandweg, who until
February served as acting director of
U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement, said he had promoted
the policy change for immigrants
without serious criminal records
before his departure and said it was
being weighed by Johnson. An
immigration advocate who has discussed the review with the administration also confirmed the change
was under consideration. The advocate spoke on condition of anonymity because the proceedings are confidential.
"Any report of specific considerations at this time would be premature," Clark Stevens, a spokesman
for the Homeland Security
Department, said Monday. Stevens
said Johnson "has undergone a very

change, saying that environmental concerns are also economic ones.
The Providence mayor's
seven-point environmental
blueprint calls for the state to
get 40 percent of its electricity
from renewable sources by
2030 and adopts a target for
reducing carbon emissions. It
also seeks to expand municipal energy efficiency programs; improve access to
affordable, locally grown
food; and extend the life of
the Central Landfill by reducing waste.
The first-term Democrat
also wants to enact an organic
waste master plan that would
make composting mandatory
for some businesses.
"Protecting our environment and sustaining our natural resources is as much a
quality of life issue as an economic imperative," Taveras
said after planting shrubs outside a business at an Earth
Day event held by
Groundwork Providence and
the Environmental Justice
League of Rhode Island.
He said the state must prepare now for the effects of climate change, including rising
sea levels, flooding and
coastal erosion.
"Global warming is real
and it has real consequences,
and we're seeing that here in
Rhode Island," Taveras said.

The approach outlined by
Sandweg and the immigration advocate would change
the existing priority categories that now include
immigrants who have reentered the country after
having been deported previously, and those who are
fugitives from immigration
proceedings. Such people
would be taken off the priority list.
The remaining priority
categories focus on recent
border-crossers and immigrants who pose a danger to
national security or public

convicted of crimes. Some
of those categories might

many administrative steps
as we could," Obama said
last week at a news conference. "We're going to
review it one more time to
see if there's more that we
can do."
For now, administration
officials appear focused on
more limited, near-term
steps that could still make a
difference for the immigrant
population, according to
lawmakers and activists
who've met with administration officials.
Adjusting the department's priorities for deportation is one such approach.
Depending on how it's done,
it could have a significant
impact by providing new
guidance to ICE agents on
the front lines. Activists
want more wholesale
changes; some say ICE
agents don't always follow
the priorities set by the
administration.
At the same time, Obama
would likely face GOP
wrath for taking even the
smallest steps toward providing relief to people in
this country illegally.
Republicans already accuse
Obama's administration of
subverting the law through
previous moves to give
"prosecutorial discretion" to
immigration agents.

The potential changes
come as Johnson proceeds
with a review ordered by
Obama on how to make
deportation policy more
humane. With comprehensive immigration legislation
stalled in the Republican-led
House after passing the
Senate last year, Obama has
come under intense election-year pressure to stem
deportations, which have
neared 2 million on his
watch, and allow more of
the 11.5 million immigrants
living here illegally to stay.
Many activists want
sweeping action by Obama
to give legal certainty and
work permits to millions
more immigrants, like he
did for those who arrived
illegally as children and
attended school or served in
the military.
It's not clear whether the
administration ultimately

Electrical fire damages Lincoln home
Blaze confined
to garage area,
upstairs bedroom
By JOSEPH B. NADEAU
[email protected]
LINCOLN – A fire
believed to have started
from an electrical problem
with a spare refrigerator
caused heavy damage to an
attached garage and a bedroom above it at 6
Winterberry Road Tuesday
evening.
The owners of the home,
Joaquin Galvao and his wife,
Aquilina, and their children
Driston, 18, and Briany, 14,
had just arrived home from
visiting friends, but all got
out safely after the 7:13 p.m.
fire was discovered, according to fire officials.
Vincenzo Nassi, 12, of
the adjoining Princess Pine
Road, and Brett Bessette, 12,
of Angell Road, had been
playing basketball when
they saw smoke coming
from the home down the
road. Fire engines were roaring down the street as they
went to see what was happening, and they were able
to watch the firefighting
effort by the Lime Rock Fire
Department and other town
fire departments to save the
home.
“At first I just saw the
smoke, and then they cut a
hole in the roof and fire shot
out,” Nassi said.
“Everyone got out OK
and no one was hurt,”
Bessette said. The boys said
they knew members of the
family living in the home.
“They were fighting it
from the inside and also had
a truck spraying water into
the roof,” Nassi said.
Lime Rock Assistant Fire
Chief Arthur Jacques said
the call came in as a refrigerator fire in the garage.
“The homeowner tried to put
it out but it got away from
him and it went into the attic
of the garage,” Jacques said.
The spare bedroom above
the garage was also
involved, Jacques said.
The combined effort to
fight the fire from the
ground level and from the
roof area kept the blaze from
entering the main home at
the property, according to
Jacques.
“The house has smoke
and water damage and but
no fire damage,” he said.
The garage’s roof was
reported to have collapsed
into the lower level, and that
section of the home will
require extensive repairs.
Lime Rock Fire Chief
Frank M. Sylvester credited
the responding firefighters
with a great job at scene.
“They did a fantastic job.
When no one gets hurt in a
fire, they’ve done what they
are supposed to do,” he said.
As firefighters mopped up
at the scene Tuesday night,
Galvao said he was thankful
everyone got out ok.
His wife had spotted the
smoke first and when he
went into the garage to see
what the problem was,
Galvao said he initially
thought he could unplug the
refrigerator. “But the flames
started coming out and it got
too hot so I got out of
there,” he said. The family
was not going to be able to
stay in their home until
repairs were made, and
Galvao said he didn’t know
if they would go to a motel
initially or stay with family
members.
Sylvester said the fire
department would help the
family make arrangements
for a temporary stay somewhere if necessary. “We are
here to help them in anyway
we can,” he said.

Lincoln Budget Board’s work for FY 15 is finally complete
$74.7 million plan
goes to voters May 12
By JOSEPH B. NADEAU
[email protected]
LINCOLN – The Budget
Board has completed its work on
the proposed fiscal 2015 town
budget, and it will now be up to
local voters attending the May 12
Financial Town Meeting to set the
town’s spending plan for the coming year.
The voters will consider a
spending plan of approximately
$74.7 million, including school
and municipal spending, as well
as several major capital improvement projects as part of the town
meeting’s budget action.
Finance Director John F. Ward
said on Tuesday that the town
meeting’s budget book now being
prepared will include Budget
Board capital spending recommendations for a proposed addi-

• Large selecon of vehicles
• Friendly customer service
• Convenient extended hours
tion to Police Headquarters at
Town Hall and the planned
improvements at the high school’s
Ferguson Field football field and
track.
The police headquarters addition would draw $3.3 million
from the town’s capital reserves,
and the high school athletic field
improvements, including the
installation of artificial turf,
would tally $1.5 million, according to Ward.
The budget recommendation
overall includes $51,037,479 for
schools, less than the School
Department’s request of $52.2
million but $79,335 more than the
sum Town Administration T.
Joseph Almond projected in his
budget proposal, according to
Ward. Municipal spending would
be approximately $19 million.
The school budget number, to
be acted on only as a line item
total by local voters, includes a
$921,219 increase in state aid to
schools that has been projected in
Gov. Lincoln Chafee’s budget
plan.
Overall, the town’s proposed
budget would result in a 1.1 percent increase in the town’s tax
levy, and depending on the values
set under the related property
assessments, an estimated 7-cent
increase in local taxes depending
on the impact of new growth in
the community.
“That’s all based on estimated
values for assessed property, but
we are not finished with the estimates for tangibles,” Ward noted.
Given the rate of new development in the community over the
past year, Ward said the actual
impact on the town’s tax rate is
not likely to be known until after
the budget is finalized by the voters on May. 12.
“The budget has been prepared
on the conservative side, but it
does include a lot of capital projects,” Ward said while noting the
improvements to police headquarters and the high school’s athletic
fields. The capital items also
include a number of smaller proj-

eral development projects under
way for the past year are bound to
help with local revenues.
“It’s the busiest we’ve been for
quite a while,” Pierce said of the
projects under construction or
nearing completion.
A new office suite project has
been moving forward quickly this
spring at 640 George Washington
Highway, and Pierce said the
town will also see new revenues
from the Panera Bread location,
the new Massage Envy business,
and other commercial developments or renovations at the
Lincoln Mall and its neighboring
Route 116 commercial district.
There are even plans for further renovations in the office
space areas of the Twin River
Casino, he noted.
“I think it’s good news for the
local economy and it appears that
people are finally releasing some
of the money they have been
holding onto for improvements to
their homes or upgrading to a
new home,” he said.

ects at local parks or town properties, such as the proposed relocation of the Hot Potato school to
Chase Farm with the help of
matching grants.
Considering the town’s spending plan and capital resolutions,
local voters will be limited by
local bylaws on how much they
may change the proposed budget.
A group of voters could file a
request to adjust a spending resolution, Ward noted, but would still
be required to remain within state
budget rules, such as the 4 percent cap on increasing the property tax levy in any given year and
the town’s restrictions on increasing a budget line item by 10 percent or a maximum change of
$80,000 in any one line item such
as the school budget.
The town does expect to see
its revenues increased to a degree
by recent development in both the
commercial sector and in residential homes, and Roger Pierce,

THE CALL — Wednesday, April 23, 2014
Join the club
It is unbelievable to me that I have just
passed my year anniversary as a columnist
for The Call.
It was a dream come true for me when
Publisher (as well as fellow Rotarian and
now friend), Mary Lynn Bosiak,
approached me about
drafting something
about the great
things happening at
Rotary.
It continuously
surprises me — and
tickles me, I must
admit — when
someone tells me
they have read one
of my weekly pieces.
When they say they
have enjoyed it?
That is even better!
Best of all, though, is when folks contact
me because they are moved into action by
something I wrote. They want to purchase
tickets to an event, make a donation to a
raffle, or to learn more about Rotary.
That’s right, I have been inviting you to
join me at a Rotary meeting for over a year
now.
For those of you who keep reading, but
haven’t taken me up on my offer yet, why
not? Is it because you would rather ease
From
The Rotary
your way into Rotary more gently? If that
is the case, then I have the event for you!
On Thursday, May 8th at 6 PM at River
Falls we will be hosting a meet and greet
event in partnership with the Blackstone
Valley Independent Business Alliance (you
may know them as the “Buy Local” folks
from around the region).
It is a casual opportunity to learn more
about how our two organizations are working together to make Burrillville, North
Smithfield, and Woonsocket better places
to work, shop, play and live.
As a business organization committed to
improving our community through community service and high standards in our
business practices, Woonsocket Rotary
embraces the Buy Local message of the
Blackstone Valley Independent Business
Alliance.
Come for a snack and a drink. Meet up
with some of your colleagues and friends.
Learn about membership in our two organizations. You will not regret it.
Tickets for the event are $10 for the
hors d’oevres reception with a cash bar. To
reserve yours, contact the Woonsocket
Rotary Treasurer, Suzanne Joyal at 401568-3332.
Kristen Allen is a member of the
Woonsocket Rotary.
Letters to the Editor
Stop complaining, find a solution
Except for the textile boom several
years ago I don't recall a tremendous influx
of people to our fair city. It suffers from
the same geographical pains as any other
city. So what can we do to change the
conditions? Is there a recipe for city rescue? I'd like to see it. There is no rapid
remedy. But, there IS hope!
I was appalled when I heard residents
criticizing the new Mayor Lisa BaldelliHunt. Jeepers! Give her a chance! She
fell in to a hornet's nest created by several
officials way before her. There is no quick
antidote for something that has taken years
to ferment.
Why am I writing this? I am not a
Woonsocket resident but I was born and
raised there when the city was clean and
people took pride in their properties.
Everyone worked. They had very little low
income but folks had high self-esteem and
wouldn't accept a handout.
The “projects” as we call them were
created to help people to get ahead in their
struggles and when times got better they
were to move on.
But I guess the system was too user
friendly and comfortable and now I see
fourth and fifth generations in the same
system. That was NOT the intent! Less we
forget to mention all of the neglected children that came into the world just so the
mothers could collect more money. I feel
sorry for these kids as they will fall into
the same hand-out programs.
Obviously I don't speak of all of the
children: we still do have many good families who do not take advantage of the system.
Yes, I sell real estate here in the city and
I still feel that Woonsocket has a lot going
for it.
However, it saddens me to see the city
in such a state. But I have faith that it will
get better. I listen to the local talk shows
and disagree with some comments about
no one wanting to buy in the city. I have
sold many homes in Woonsocket to people
from out of town and within the city who
see the merit in Woonsocket. We still have
a government grant to help those with low
incomes to become homeowners and enjoy
the American Dream.
However, other Realtors like me agree
that if the Homestead Act is removed we
will not be able to sell a dog house here.
I still remember a slogan used by an old
friend and city businessman, Oscar
Rotatori who always said, “I believe in
Woonsocket.” I was just a kid myself
when I would see this in his ads or hear
him on the radio. Funny how some things
stick in your mind. We need folks like him
who still believe!
But before you point any fingers at our
leaders turn your hand around 180 degrees
and maybe that is who you should be
pointing the finger at.
Don't waste time and energy complaining. Turn that energy into a positive and
help correct the errors of those who came
before Mayor Baldelli-Hunt. Let's help her
to get this city cleaned up and back to
being a lady again.
Got a complaint? Then come up with a
cure!

The time for change is now
My name is Matt Fecteau and I am
challenging Congressman David Cicilline
for the Democratic nomination of the 1st
District of Rhode Island. Unlike my opponent, I am not a millionaire, nor a career
politician, nor have an affluent network to
call on. I am an average American fed up
with the political stagnation in Washington
D.C.
While I still consider myself an ordinary
American, I have been put in some
extraordinary circumstances. I served eight
years on active duty in the U.S. Army as
an officer with two tours in Iraq. I have
led soldiers in war, managed multiple million dollar budgets, and traveled to some
of the most unforgiving places in the
world. I would stack my experience
against my opponent’s any day of the
week. I decided to run because I am upset
with the inaction in Congress. More than
ever, we deserve a new fresh prospective
and new leadership.
I have been going door to door lately
and hearing about your concerns. This isn’t
complicated, you want jobs and the truth
is, right now, there are none.
Rhode Island’s unemployment rate is
the highest in the country. Your Congress
is not working for you and you are fed up.
I see our community slowly withering
away with each passing day while hearing
the empty rhetoric about bipartisanship and
“jobs, jobs, jobs.”
Unfortunately, empty rhetoric does not
pay the bills. My opponent’s signature
Make it in America Block Grant Program
has zero bipartisan support, making the
chances of it becoming law similar to that
of Taylor Swift returning any of my phone
calls.
As a veteran, while deployed all you
want to do is go home and then, when you
finally arrive back home, it hits you like a
ton of bricks, “What the hell happened?”
We need to find solutions now.
I want to represent you in Congress
because regular people should have a voice
in Washington. We know how to create
jobs. We see the dilapidated roads, bridges,
and waterways. Let’s hire people to fix,
renovate, and expand our infrastructure.
This would go a long way to both providing people quality jobs and invest in our
country’s future.
This struggle will be tough. I do wish I
had a little more money, an affluent network, or a prominent name, but I do not.
In this country I love so dearly, it should
not matter.
During this campaign, I may put my
foot in my mouth at times, and may make
my share of mistakes, but I am an average
American thrust into some extraordinary
circumstances and although things are a little tougher for us, I believe in this country
more than ever. The time for change is
now.

Why Democrats are
playing the race card
After years of mostly hedging any suggestion that racism has anything to do with
President Barack Obama's ferocious opposition, there's a new racial etiquette in town.
Top Democrats are slipping off the kid
gloves.
"To a significant extent, the Republican
base does have elements that are animated
by racism," said Rep. Steve Israel, chairman
of the Democratic
Congressional Campaign
Committee, during CNN's
"State of the Union" program. "That's unfortunate."
Asked by host Candy
Crowley as to whether he
thought his "Republican
colleagues in Congress are
racist," the New York
Democrat replied, "Not all Clarence Page
of them. No. Of course
not."
"Not all of them?" Gee, Congressman,
care to name names?
Israel's comment was particularly notable
because it came only a few days after an
even more prominent Democrat, House
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, of
California, said pretty much the same thing
about the Grand Old Party's position on
immigration.
"I think race has something to do with
the fact that they are not bringing up an
immigration bill," she said at a news conference. "I've heard them say to the Irish, 'If it
was you, it would be easy.'"
She didn't say who she heard talking to
which "Irish," but she sounded like an oldschool wheeler-dealer in the sort of ethnictribal politics that have produced big
turnouts for generations of urban
Democrats.
That's partly because she was responding
to a question about Attorney General Eric
Holder's earlier remarks in a speech at the
Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network
convention.
Without specifically mentioning race,
Holder heatedly suggested that the "unwarranted, ugly and divisive adversity" that he
received from Republicans during a House
Judiciary Committee oversight hearing a
day earlier was because of, well, you know
what distinguishes Obama from his predecessors, right?
"What attorney general has ever had to
deal with that kind of treatment?" he said.
"What president has ever had to deal with
that kind of treatment?"
Holder didn't mention race because he
didn't have to. As an African-American
speaking to a group that conservatives love
like they love an Ebola virus, his remarks
sounded like a black-oriented version of
what liberals would call a racially coded
"dog whistle" if it had come from rightwing whites.
What's going on? Why, after years of
accusing Republicans of unfairly accusing
Democrats of playing the race card, do top
Democrats seem suddenly to be throwing all
caution to the wind? Why? Three theories
come to mind:
Theory one: Anger. A lot of it is pent up
among Democrats after a half-dozen years
of playing nice to help their Big Guy in the
White House. Now it's getting near closing
time for Team Obama (Holder may even be
leaving this year), and Dems feel more freedom to say what they really think.
Theory two: Fear. As midterm elections
approach, what better way to rev up their
liberal and heavily nonwhite base than to
highlight differences with conservatives
over issues of racial and gender equality. A
common theme connects congressional
Democrats alleging racism and Obama's
promotions of pay equity and warnings
about conservative rollbacks in the Voting
Rights Act.
Theory three: Shameless self-promotion.
Since July 2012, Major Garrett, CBS News'
chief White House reporter, has been reporting in National Journal on "stray voltage," a
strategy of generating controversy on purpose, simply "for the sake of milking it."
Such was the case, Garrett offers, when
the White House claims that the median
wages of working women in America are 77
percent of median wages earned by men
were challenged by critics on the left and
right. No problem. Under the "stray voltage"
strategy, Obama's message will be remembered long after statistics are forgotten.
Indeed, the same can be said of the return
of race to center stage among top
Democrats, generating familiar countercharges of "race baiting" and "playing the
race card" from Republicans.
Sure, those of us who care about serious
issues and nuanced politics should bristle at
crude appeals to racial passions by either
side. But as long as it turns out votes, the
politics of rage is not going away soon,
color-coded or not.

David Ead, 72;
star witness in
Cianci corruption trial
PROVIDENCE (AP) —
A star witness in the corruption trial of former
Providence Mayor Buddy
Cianci has died.
David Ead died Saturday,
according to the PontarelliMarino Funeral Home. It
did not disclose the cause of
death.
He was 72.
Ead was the former vice
chairman of the Board of
Tax Assessment Review.
He spent a week on the
stand during the 2002 trial
portraying Providence City
Hall as a place where favors
were regularly handed out
for bribes.
He himself admitted to
taking bribes to lower tax
bills, and was sentenced to a
year of home confinement.
Prosecutors said at the
time that Ead’s cooperation
was essential to making a
case against members of the
Cianci administration.
Cianci was convicted of
racketeering conspiracy.

Midst a soft and scented prayer
Anne-Marie saw God standing there.
O the glory of such a sight
the life, the world, all the might.
She raised her eyes and Anne-Marie

to open the doors to eternity.
Though, Anne-Marie’s smile is
gone forever
And her hand we cannot touch
We still have so many memories
Of the one we loved so much
Anne-Marie’s memory is our keepsake
with which we’ll never part.
God has her in His keeping

THE CALL A7
Married couple’s sex life
is all about the numbers
DEAR ABBY:
I have been married to a
wonderful man for 30 years.
Our marriage may not be perfect, but it’s quite good.
My dilemma is this: My
husband keeps track of every
time we have sex and has a
personal goal of 100 times a
year. In 2013, he informed me
that we’d had sex only 76
times, and that was not adequate for him. He was quite
upset about it.
Do you think tracking your
sex life is normal, and what do
you think about a couple married for 30-plus years having
sex 76 times in a year? Is that
normal? Also, keep in mind
that he travels for business
and is gone about 60 days a
year.
— PRESSURED
DEAR
PRESSURED:
Your husband sounds like a
college student who is striving
to get 100 notches on his belt.
Rather than obsess about the
number of times you have had
sex, the quality of the experience should be more important. Fifty GREAT times a
year would be better than 100
so-so times, one would think.
And no, I do not think your
husband’s preoccupation is
“normal” — whatever normal
is these days.
*
DEAR ABBY:
After six years of unsuccessful fertility work, my husband and I were forced to give
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
up. Last summer his sister
offered to be a surrogate for
us, and we’ll use a donor egg
since I have none. We have
told only a few people.
We’re having an embryo
transfer next week and
thought we’d wait until after
the
first
trimester
to
“announce.” But what is the
proper way to do it when it’s
not actually I who is expecting? And is there etiquette for
having a baby shower in this
situation?
We’re excited and proud of
this opportunity, but it takes a
lot of explaining for people to
understand and not be judgmental. This is the closest
we’ll ever get to experiencing
pregnancy, and I want to
enjoy it to the fullest.

My 18-year-old granddaughter is seeing a 30-yearold man. What can I say to let
her know he is way too old for
her? I don’t want her to hate
me.
— LOVING GRANDMA
IN FLORIDA
DEAR LOVING GRANDMA: I don’t think that telling
your granddaughter the man
is too old for her would be a
good idea because it would
imply that she is too young,
and no 18-year-old wants to
hear that. Tell her instead that
you think she would have a lot
more in common with someone closer to her age. This is
particularly true if she is still
in high school.

Dear Abby is written by
Abigail Van Buren, also known

DEAR ABBY:
A - Cox B - Uxbridge, Millville Comcast
C - Blackstone, Franklin Comcast D - Bellingham Comcast
By HOLIDAY MATHIS
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Good stories need conflict, and
heroes need an enemy. As you’re
a lover and not a fighter, you’ll
be more comfortable with an
impersonal enemy like weather,
the elements or the evils of society at large.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
You’ll live simply and freely following these rules: 1. Don’t
acquire what you don’t need. 2.
Purge possessions periodically. 3.
Have a place for things, and keep
things in their place.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
You’ve heard hundreds of times
that life isn’t fair, but today will
bring evidence to the contrary.
Your favorite kind of justice will
be dealt — and that’s poetic justice!
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Each of your projects has a
beginning, a middle and an end,
though not necessarily in that
order. Today you’ll start and stop
in odd places, but like a cleverly
edited movie, it all works out
before the credits roll.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll
meet someone who likes what
you like. It’s a significant connection for many reasons, not the
least of which is that your shared
common interest is relatively
rare.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Ideally, you strive to unselfconsciously make connections and
remain considerate of the feelings of others. When you’re not
this way, you haven’t failed — it’s
all part of a learning process.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Touch base physically if possible.
The exchange of ideas and information will go smoothly and will
be far more helpful in face-toface encounters. No matter how
hard you try to give, you’ll be on
the receiving end.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Meetings and forums are part of
the action. You realize how hard
it is for the person in charge, and
so you give full attention and
empathy to that person, who
may in turn lean on you for support.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Trying to get through
to a certain emotionally distant
person is like grasping at wind.
Instead, get comfortable with
yourself, and the contentment
you feel will warm everyone
around you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Your participation in groups
may be minimal, but in a short
amount of time, you’ll still manage to inspire others to take
action. You won’t have to tell
anyone what to do. You’ll do it
yourself and make it look cool.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Socializing is a game, and in
this game, status is both a choice
and a strategy. There are many
benefits to adopting both the
high and low status positions, so
choose carefully.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You’ll get the chance to demonstrate your knowledge and
expertise. Seize the chance only
if you really feel ready. Being
ready will entail knowing the
order in which you’ll do things
and having at least some of it
memorized.
Congratulations on your pregnancy. Because it takes
explaining, I recommend you
share the happy news with
your family and close friends
by telling them in person.
That way, you can answer any
questions they may have
directly. When you want “the
world” to know, you may
decide to send a mass email
or post photos on the
Internet.
As to having a baby shower
— because this is a happy
event you are celebrating and
you will need things for the
baby, I’m sure a friend will
want to host one for you. Be
sure to include your sister-inlaw if she would like to attend.

Six-run rally lifts Rochester past PawSox
Snyder homers twice, De La Rosa spins six solid innings in 7-5 loss
By JON BAKER
[email protected]
PAWTUCKET — On a Tuesday night when Brandon Snyder
crushed two dingers and righthander Rubby De La Rosa assembled a
mound masterpiece, the Pawtucket Red Sox’ bullpen collapsed.
The result: An emotionally-draining – not to mention truly sad – 7-5
loss to the Rochester Red Wings before a bummed crowd of 3,070 at
McCoy Stadium.
De La Rosa had been hurling a gem, yielding only three hits, an
earned run and a walk while fanning seven.
He seemed destined to push his record to 2-0 after offering 89 pitches, 53 for strikes in his six-inning stint. But the Red Wings exploded
for six runs in the top of the seventh while sending 12 to the plate and
improved to 10-8 on their International League-North campaign.
Pawtucket fell to 11-9, though remained in first place.
In that fateful frame, manager Kevin Boles chose to replace De La
Rosa with fellow righty Dalier Hinojosa, and the Red Wings took little
time in creating their surge.

Rehabbing Victorino’s ‘excited
about getting back onto field’
By JON BAKER
[email protected]
PAWTUCKET — For Shane Victorino, it’s been a long, arduous road back to regaining his
strength and conditioning after being sidelined on March 29 with a right hamstring strain, that suffered in Boston’s final spring training game in Fort Myers.
Victorino, though, remained confident he would enjoy a return to the Red Sox in the near
future, as this was his third game back on an injury rehab assignment.
He expressed that confidence after taking batting practice at McCoy Stadium prior to the
Pawtucket Red Sox’ tilt against Rochester on Tuesday afternoon.
“I’m feeling good at this point,” grinned Victorino, who had drawn the start in right and the No.
2 spot in the batting order. “How soon will I get back? It’s still up in the air. We’ll see how
(Tuesday night) goes. I know I’m going to play nine innings.
See VICTORINO, page B3
Boston Red Sox right fielder Shane Victorino jogs off the field after the top of the first inning of his
rehab game with the Pawtucket Red Sox on Tuesday night at McCoy Stadium. Victorino played
seven innings in the field and went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts.

Boston Marathon
‘Marathon’ Meb becomes
‘beacon’ of Beacon Street
BOSTON (AP) — Meb Keflezighi
fled the East African nation of Eritrea as a
12-year-old boy, coming to the United
States to escape war and poverty. Tatyana
McFadden was 6 and sickly when an
American woman adopted her from a
Russian orphanage.
They are now U.S. citizens, and
Boston Marathon champions.
"Don't they really capture what the
American dream is all about?" Boston
Athletic Association president Joann
Flaminio said on Tuesday. "It's about
coming to this country to make a better
life for themselves. And, boy, what a better life they made."
Ever since the bombs exploded at the
marathon finish line last year there has
been a nationwide rally of support for the
city and its signature sporting event, and a
call to return to the streets to reclaim the
freedom that was threatened by the attacks.
But the prospect of an American running down Boylston Street to break the
tape this Patriots' Day was seen as the ultimate expression of resilience.
"Everybody talked about how this was
very necessary," Keflezighi said on
Tuesday at the traditional day-after news
conference that was canceled last year.
"To do it in Boston after what happened
last year, I couldn't ask for any better.
"America gave me the opportunity;
America needed somebody," he said.
"And I rose to the occasion."
No American runner had won the
Boston Marathon since 1985, when Lisa
Larsen-Weidenbach took the women's title
two years after Greg Meyer earned the
men's. (The U.S. has had better luck in the
wheelchair division, which McFadden
won for the second straight time.)
The three decades of domination by
the Kenyan and Ethiopian runners has
been distressing in U.S. distance-running
circles, but the drought became a national
concern after last year's bombing.
Since then, there has been much talk
about what an American victory would
mean in this year's race, and Shalane Flanagan — three-time Olympian from nearby
Marblehead — vowed to win it for her
battered hometown.
See MEB, page B4
DETROIT (AP) — Tuukka Rask finished with a
23-save shutout to give the Boston Bruins a 3-0 win
over the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night for a 2-1
playoff series lead.
Dougie Hamilton and Jordan Caron scored in the
first period, and Patrice Bergeron added an empty-net
goal late in the game. The Presidents' Trophy-winning
Bruins are ahead for the first time in the openinground series. And, it seems like a commanding lead
the way Boston has played the past two games.
Detroit has to win Game 4 on Thursday night to
avoid facing elimination when the series shifts back to
Boston.
Jimmy Howard made 31 saves for the Red Wings,
who needed him to make what appeared to be a routine stop midway through the first period on the first
goal. He couldn't.
Hamilton's wrist shot from the top of the right circle beat Howard's glove on a power play after Detroit
had too many men on the ice.
The Red Wings didn't have enough players in position to stop the second goal. After a poorly timed line
change, Caron was all alone in front of the net and
scored off a rebound.
Detroit had a 5-on-3 power play for 35 seconds
midway through the second period and could not take
advantage.
The Red Wings had perhaps their best chance early
in the third period, but Rask made a sprawling stop to
get his glove on Justin Abdelkader's shot. Detroit did
not have many other opportunities against Rask, who
ended up with his fourth career playoff shutout.
Detroit had a power play midway through the third
period and got only one shot to Rask, whose teammates prevented the puck from getting to him by putting their bodies and sticks in the way all night.
Detroit pulled Howard but failed to dump the puck
deep into the Boston end. Bergeron made a long shot
into an empty net with 1:59 left to make it 3-0.
Since the Red Wings won Game 1 on Pavel
Datsyuk's goal late in the third period, they have been
outscored 7-1.
Detroit did not have one of its top forwards, Daniel
Alfredsson, because of a back ailment and is still without two key players, captain Henrik Zetterberg and
defenseman Jonathan Ericsson, because of injuries.
Even with all three of those players, Boston simply
might be too tough to beat.
The defending Eastern Conference and 2011 Stanley Cup champions are big, strong, fast and talented.
Boston proved that during the regular season, leading
the NHL with 117 points, and has shown how dominant it can be after losing the closely contested Game 1.

Cumberland, Lincoln suffer one-run losses
PROVIDENCE — Five errors helped lead to four unearned
runs and a difficult loss for Cumberland to swallow on Tuesday
afternoon, as the Clippers dropped a 6-5 verdict to La Salle
Academy at the Rams’ complex.
Senior pitcher Juliet Nelson tossed a six-hitter than included two
strikeouts and no walks for the Clippers, who slipped to 5-2, but
remain in third place in the Division I standings behind unbeaten
North Kingstown and Smithfield.
The Rams (3-2) broke a 3-3 tie with three runs in the bottom of
the fifth inning. The Clippers responded with two runs in the sixth,
but were unable to score the equalizer.
Taylor Fay had two doubles and two runs batted in to lead the
Clippers offensively. Nelson added two hits, one of them a runscoring double, and Haley Bouley collected a two-run single.

Red Wings score six times in seventh to down PawSox, 7-5
Continued from page B1
Wilkin Ramirez stung a triple off
the wall in right-center, and Brad
Nelson walked before the former
raced home on a wild pitch and the
latter took second on the same.
Chris Rahl then hammered a double to right to plate Nelson, and Eric
Farris reached on Snyder’s fielding
miscue at first. Delbinson Romero’s
hit to right scored Rahl, but Shane
Victorino’s bobble in right allowed
both he and Farris to move up.
Lefty Rich Hill took Hinojosa’s
spot on the rubber, and he issued a
freebie to Dan Rohlfing to load the
bases, though he whiffed Danny
Santana for the initial out. He walked
James Beresford to plate Farris to tie it
at 5-5, and Chris Parmelee knocked in
pinch-runner Doug Bernier with the
go-ahead run.
When Rohlfing raced in on
Nelson’s infield hit, the Wings had
erased a 5-1 deficit.
Boles nevertheless didn’t dwell on
any negatives but one real positive –
De La Rosa’s improvement.
“He’s had some very good outings,
and this was right (up) there,” Boles
stated afterward. “He had a good mix,
he pitched down in the zone, held
together the running game; he has
weapons, and he’s throwing more
strikes. You could see with the hitters,
he was keeping them off-balance.
“To be able to make those adjustments is great,” he added. “He mixes
in the slider and curve; he was outstanding (Tuesday).”
In what may be rehabbing Shane
Victorino’s final tilt with the PawSox,
he finished 0-for-4 with three strikeouts, a groundout to short and an error
during his eight frames in right field.
He did, however, drill a couple of
long foul balls.
When asked if he could be called
up to the Red Sox soon, Boles
explained, “He’s going to be evaluated
in Boston and see what the decide
…Usually timing is the last thing to
come, but he was tested out there in
right. To see him react the way he did
was good. The hitting, he’ll figure that
out, but he was tested out there. That’s
a positive.”
Boles opted to pull Victorino in the
top of the eighth, but that was because
the turf had become slick with the
late-evening rains.
“We erred on he side of caution,”
he said.
Hinojosa faced only five batters
and yielded three hits, five runs (four
earned) and a walk without a whiff; he
offered 18 pitches, half for strikes.
And Hill gave up two hits, an
unearned run and two bases-on-balls
while striking out three in one full
frame.
Yovan Pino (3-0) earned the win
after hurling the final four frames; he
gave up three hits, two runs and a
Victorino continues rehab stint
Continued from page B1
“This is my third game (with Pawtucket), and
– overall – my body parts are OK,” he added.
“I’m excited about getting back onto the field.
I’ve had a little soreness, but it’s good soreness;
it comes from being more active. I think I’m getting closer.”
In his first start with the PawSox, against
Buffalo in Saturday’s twinbill opener, he went 0for-3, but he did finish 1-for-4 Monday night as
the starting right fielder.
The 33-year-old Victorino hit .250 (7-for-28)
in spring training while being brought along ever
so carefully on a conditioning program. On that
fateful March 29 day, however, he sustained a
Grade 1 strain to the aforementioned hamstring
while legging out a double on a wet field at
JetBlue Park.
Following that strain, he was saddled with a
severe bout of the flu that caused him to lose 12
pounds.
Ironically, Victorino had rehabbed with
Pawtucket last June 6 for a left hamstring strain
and played in just one contest. The good news:
He went 2-fofr-4 with a solo blast against
Charlotte. His only other visits to McCoy came
as a member of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red
Barons back in 2005.
That season, he closed with a .310 batting
average with 18 homers and 70 RBI while earning International League MVP accolades.
“Shane has looked good,” offered manager
Kevin Boles. “He’s had no hesitation, no problems, after having played. He’s just got to get
through (Tuesday night). I don’t when he’ll be
called up; we’ll see what Boston says
(Wednesday).”
In his initial at-bat on Tuesday, on a 3-2 pitch,
he bashed a shot just outside the left field foul
pole, and – on the next offering – struck out on
an iffy call by home plate ump Brian
DeBrauwere.
Third baseman Will Middlebrooks also is on
an injury rehab outing (right calf strain) with the
PawSox, but was not in the starting lineup
Tuesday. Boles indicated the 25-year-old “felt
fine” after gaining the start Monday night, and
was visiting with Boston’s medical staff.
“Again, that’s Boston decision,” Boles stated.
The Red Sox placed him on the disabled list
on April 6 (retro to April 5) for the injury. In
four games with the parent club (all at third), he
had battled .231 with a double, dinger and an
RBI.
He had suffered the calf issue while running
before that April 5 game against Milwaukee.
Still, the plan is for Middlebrooks to play tonight
and Thursday afternoon at McCoy.
Boles also explained that Pawtucket had
transferred infielder Carlos Rivero to Double-A
Portland and added fellow infielder Ryan
Roberts following his redesignation for assignment by Boston on April 18.
That’s when the Red Sox recalled infielder
Brock Holt from Pawtucket.
Boles noted Roberts will play a variety of
positions while with the PawSox, including one
or two outfield positions.

walk with nine strikeouts.
Hinojosa (0-1) took the loss, and
Hill was issued his lone blown save.
While De La Rosa cruised through
his first two frames, courtesy of four
straight whiffs while striking out the
side in the second, Pawtucket gave
him a cushion in the back half.
Snyder led off the frame, crushing
a 2-0 fastball just over the fence and
onto the left-center field berm to
record his third bomb of the season.
Southpaw starter Logan Darnell
then fanned Christian Vazquez, but
Garin Cecchini singled to center, then
stole second before hustling to third
on a fielding miscue by second baseman James Beresford.
It was ruled on the play that backstop Rohlfing’s throw had caromed
off Beresford’s left shoulder, and
Cecchini trotted in on designated hitter
Dan Butler’s sacrifice fly to right.
The ensuing batter, Mike McCoy,
then walked, and Darnell balked him
to second before he got No. 9 hitter
Heiker Meneses to flail at strike 3.
The Red Wings immediately sliced
the deficit in half in the third when
Farris led off with a hard hit up the
middle, took second when De La
Rosa hit Romero, reached third on
Rohlfing’s 5-4 fielder’s choice and
scored on Santana’s “seeing-eye”
grounder down the left-field line.
It looked as if the Sox would put
together a semblance of a rally in the
fourth; that’s when Vazquez drilled a
one-out gapper to left-center, but
Farris sprinted to his right and made a
spectacular diving catch.
Darnell struck out Cecchini to end
the inning.
Rochester threatened again in the
fifth when Farris knocked a one-out
hit to right, robbed second and took
third when catcher Vazquez threw low
to the bag, but De La Rosa whiffed
both Romero and Rohlfing to avert
any further damage.

By The Associated Press
April 23
1903 — The New York Highlanders, later renamed Yankees, win their first game as a major
league team, 7-2 over the Washington Senators.
1946 — Ed Head of the Brooklyn Dodgers pitches a no-hitter against the Boston Braves 5-0 at
Ebbets Field.
1950 — The Minneapolis Lakers become the first team to win back-to-back NBA championships by defeating the Syracuse Nationals 110-95 in Game 6 of the finals. George Mikan
leads the Lakers with 40 points in a game marred by three fights, four Minneapolis players
fouling out, and Nats coach Al Cervi being ejected for complaining too vociferously about a
call.
1954 — The NBA adopts the 24-second shot clock.
1969 — Jerry West scores 53 points to lead the Los Angeles Lakers over Boston 120-118 in
the opening game of the NBA Finals.
1993 — The Dallas Mavericks avoid matching the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers as the worst
team in NBA history, beating Minnesota 103-100 for their 10th triumph of the season.
1996 — An NHL single-game record crowd of 28,183 watches the Philadelphia Flyers beat the
Tampa Bay Lightning 4-1. Tampa Bay set the previous single-game mark of 27,227 in its first
regular-season game in the Devil Rays' baseball stadium.
1999 — Fernando Tatis hits two grand slams in one inning to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a
12-5 win over Los Angeles. Tatis becomes the first player in major league history to hit two
grand slams in one inning and sets the record with eight RBIs in an inning.

Ellsbury returns
to Boston, helps
Yankees top Sox
BOSTON (AP) — Jacoby Ellsbury doubled, tripled, drove in
two runs and made a sliding catch in his return to Fenway Park,
helping the New York Yankees and Masahiro Tanaka beat the
Boston Red Sox 9-3 on Tuesday night.
Ellsbury received a mixed reception in his first game as a visitor
after seven seasons with the Red Sox before signing a $153 million,
seven-year contract with the Yankees.
Tanaka (3-0) allowed two runs on seven hits in 7 1-3 innings
with seven strikeouts and no walks. His 35 strikeouts in his first four
major league starts set a team record and he's walked just two batters
in 29 1-3 innings.
Jon Lester (2-3) struggled after four outstanding outings, allowing
seven runs in 4 2-3 innings.
The Red Sox scored their runs in the fourth inning on back-toback home runs by David Ortiz and Mike Napoli.
Meb on win: ‘America
needed somebody and
I rose to the occasion’
Continued from page B1
But the victory went not to the local favorite, nor to Ryan Hall,
who ran the fastest marathon ever by an American on this course
in 2011. Instead, the cathartic win came from a San Diego resident
who studied the Boston course by talking to four-time winner Bill
Rodgers and reading the memoir of the man known as "Boston
Billy."
Ernst Van Dyk of South Africa won the men's wheelchair
event, and then McFadden rolled down Boylston Street all alone to
guarantee that the "Star-Spangled Banner" would be heard in
Copley Square a year after terrorist bombs killed three and wounded more than 260 others.
McFadden, who turned 25 on race day, was born with spina
bifida and had no wheelchair as a child, so she learned to walk on
her hands. Her mother, Deborah McFadden, was the commissioner of disabilities for the U.S. Health Department and visited the
orphanage where Tatyana had been sent.
"I was 6 years old and extremely sick, with a short life
expectancy, and my mom gave me the opportunity," said
McFadden, who moved to Baltimore and eventually went to the
University of Illinois, the home of eight-time Boston wheelchair
champion Jean Driscoll. "For me, it was extremely important to
get involved in sports. It was a way for me to get better."
After receiving her trophy, McFadden gave the winner's olive
wreath — gold-plated for the first time this year, as a gesture of
support from Greece — to Carlos Arredondo, the cowboy-hatted
hero who helped the wounded at the finish line last year.
Flanagan ran a personal best and finished seventh as Kenya's
Rita Jeptoo earned her second straight women's win — and third
overall — and a chance to celebrate the victory she couldn't in
2013.
Minutes later, Keflezighi pumped his fist and crossed himself as
he ran down Boylston street to chants of "U.S.A.!" Two U.S. flags
were raised above the victory stand for the two American victories,
and the "Star-Spangled Banner" echoed over Boylston Street not
once, but twice.
"America really did want it," said McFadden, who raced in a
shirt honoring Martin Richard, honor the 8-year-old boy killed in
the explosions.
Keflezighi, who wrote the names of the four killed in the bombing and manhunt on his bib, said that everywhere he went in
Boston people came up to him and thanked him. President Barack
Obama sent his congratulations on Twitter, and a call was being
arranged so the two could talk on Tuesday.
Keflezighi's eyes widened with excitement as he thought about
talking with the president. "I'm going to say thank you for the
opportunity that the land of the U.S. has given me," he said.
At almost 39, Keflezighi is the oldest Boston Marathon winner
since 1931, and the victory caps an already-distinguished career. A
four-time NCAA champion, he took the silver medal in the Athens
Olympics in 2004 and won the New York race in 2009.
But even as the world acknowledged his place as one of history's great distance runners, his New York victory was met with
skepticism from internet commenters and even some members of
the media who said the former Eritrean "wasn't American enough."
Flaminio scoffed at the idea.
"You are a beacon of what it means to be an American," she
told him on Tuesday. "It was the right person for the right time."

Southwick’s Zoo
plans after-hours
May 17 event
MENDON —
Southwick’s Zoo recently
opened for the season, and
is now offering a visit the
zoo when it is less crowded.
On Saturday, May 17,
members of EARTH
Limited, an environmentally-conscious nonprofit
located inside Southwick’s
Zoo, will have the opportunity to visit the zoo at no
cost from 6 to 8 p.m.
Friends of members may
also attend for a fee of $15
for adults or $10 for kids.
Each year, members of
EARTH Limited are treated
to a number of benefits
simply for being a member.
This event gives visitors
the unique experience of
being among fellow members who are committed to
helping animals and their
environment.
Another advantage of an
after-hours zoo trip is that
some of the animals are
more active in the evening.
For example, lions sleep
about 17 to 20 hours a day
and are nocturnal, so you
have a better chance of
seeing them on the prowl
after hours.
“EARTH Limited operates inside Southwick’s
Zoo, but it’s a separate,
nonprofit organization that
works to educate the community about environmental issues. Our members are
some of the biggest contributors to EARTH, so we
like to give back to them,”
said Betsey Brewer, executive director of EARTH
Ltd.
Becoming a member of
EARTH comes with a number of benefits. Along with
the special members-only
events, members of
EARTH also receive
unlimited visits to
Southwick’s Zoo for the
year, access to behind-thescenes tours, discounts on
Wild Adventure Summer
Programs for kids, 10 percent off in the Purple
Peacock Gift Shop, and
more.
The Welcome Back
event will be held at
Southwick’s Zoo, 2
Southwick St. Visit

more about becoming a
member.

on flooding mitigation
LINCOLN — U.S. Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., will
speak at the 2014 Rhode Island Flood Mitigation
Association (RIFMA) conference at Amica
Conference Center, 100 Amica Way, at noon.
The event will focus on how flood mitigation
efforts can be, and have been, implemented to protect
life, property and the environment during a disaster
and increase resilience afterwards.
RIFMA’s 2014 conference will provide a venue for
professionals involved in floodplain management and
flood hazard mitigation to gather, discuss best practices, share ideas, and learn from colleagues’ experiences. This year’s theme of “Making Mitigation
Matter” was selected due to recent efforts to reduce
future losses through implementation of mitigation
actions throughout the region. New England has
experienced multiple major weather events in recent
years, and many states have begun implementing
long-term measures that reduce, minimize, or eliminate potential damages to public and private infrastructure from natural hazards.
