gelidis began the speaking program by
praising Whipps Lee and emphasizing
how important it is that people get out
and vote in November. “We’re all here
tonight because we know Susie is doing
a great job and needs to be re-elected,”
said Evangelidis, “but it is vital that none
of us take this victory for granted and that
we all pledge to do everything we can to
get out the vote for her in November”
Baker then took the microphone and
treasurer in Bernardston

Suhoski.
Trump says America in crisis
— and that he’ll fix it ‘fast’
By JULIE PACE and
ROBERT FURLOW
Associated Press
CLEVELAND (AP) —
Declaring America in crisis,
Donald Trump pledged to
cheering Republicans and
still-skeptical voters Thursday night that as president
he will restore the safety
they fear they’re losing,
strictly curb immigration
and save the nation from
Hillary Clinton’s record of
“death, destruction, terrorism and weakness.”

businessman declared the
nation’s problems too staggering to be fixed within the
confines of traditional politics.
“I have joined the political arena so that the powerful can no longer beat up on
people that cannot defend
themselves,” Trump said.

businessman’s acceptance
of the Republican nomination caps his improbable takeover of the GOP, a

Athol buys out MEC lien
for Main Street property
ATHOL — The selectboard recently made a policy decision to buy out the
Montachusett Enterprise
Corporation’s
receivership lien of $12,363.22 on a
property at 1768 Main St.
That decision has been
implemented, said Town
Manager Shaun Suhoski
on Thursday. “One argument made was that keeping MEC financially stable
would allow the continuation of receivership action
and additional reimbursements,” he said.
The MEC has invested
more into the property
than it could recoup down
the road, it was noted at a
recent selectboard meeting. The property is in the
process of being taken by
the town for back taxes
owed.
Regarding other MEC
investments
in
town,
Suhoski said the town has
already received an additional reimbursement of
HomeCorps grant funds
through the MEC. “This
time in the amount of
$32,470.39, as the bank
holding the mortgage at 41
Lewis St. has paid off the
receiver’s lien and reacquired control of the now THUMBS UP — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, center, gives

Erving Center benefits from Niedzwiedz’s generosity
ERVING — The folks
at the Erving Senior Community Center had quite a
surprise a week ago. Bernie Niedzwiedz delivered
a five by three foot custom
designed base with casters
and a glorious fairy garden
built into the display that
was something to be seen.
All finely detailed right
down to the paint color to
coordinate with the interior
trim.
Senior center director
Paula Betters was surprised
to see it waiting on a Monday morning at the front
door. “I thought how did he
ever get this here by himself? I guess that remains
a mystery,” said Betters.
“The detail of the three
themes he created. Nome’s,
pixies and fairies was something to be viewed. I knew
this project was happening,
but, not to the extent and
detail that I was now seeing
for the first time. It took
him months to build. Who
knows what the cost of the
project totaled. The hours
on the internet searching
for just the right component. The days he shopped
and the many places he
went for supplies and who
knows what else.”
Betters said that Niedzwiedz has worked all his life
as a pharmacist. He retired
knowing his mother Stella
needed care. He was there
for her always. When she
became too ill to remain
at home, Stella went into a
nursing home. That did not
stop his dedication to his
mother. He went to see her
three times a day making
sure she was eating and well
taken care of. Stella passed
away and it was a difficult
time. Not only was it a void
but he had much more time
on his hands. Niedzwiedz
CREATIVE DONATION — Bernie Niedzwiedz, lifetime Erving resident, recent- has always lived in Erving

MWCC receives $573,600 in grants
Diabetes
program
at YMCA
GARDNER — On Thursday, Congressman Jim McGovern (MA-02) announced
that the U.S. Department
of Education will award two
grants totaling $573,600 to
Mount Wachusett Community College through its Talent
Search Program. The program
supports efforts on campuses in
Massachusetts and across the
country to help students from
disadvantaged backgrounds to
succeed in higher education. “Every student deserves
access to a strong education
and the bright future it brings.
These grants will provide a
critical boost to the great work
Mount Wachusett Community
College is doing to help more
students succeed and reach
their full potential,” McGovern said. “Where you grow up
should never limit your ability to go to college and pursue
your dreams. These grants will

ATHOL — The next session of the Diabetes Prevention Program will begin
the last week of August at
the Athol Area YMCA.
The program is open
to individuals who have
been diagnosed with prediabetes or who are at risk
to develop Type 2 diabetes.
The goals of the program
are to reduce body weight
by five to seven percent and
increase physical activity
to 150 minutes a week over
the year-long course.
The YMCA started offering this program in March
2015. To date, there have
been three rounds of sessions offered. Participants
reported feeling better, having more energy, sleeping
better, able to climb stairs
without getting short of
breath, having more confidence in making healthy
choices. The average weight
loss for the groups is about
five percent. Many participants have lost up to
13 percent of their body
weight.
The program is open
to people who are at least
18 years of age, are overweight (body mass index
of 25 or more), and have a
diagnosis of pre-diabetes
confirmed by blood test or
have a qualifying risk score
(based on age, family history, gestational diabetes
history). Participants can
refer themselves or be referred by their medical provider.
Participants do not have
to be a member of the
YMCA to take part in the
program. The Y offers financial scholarships and
grant funding to those who
qualify.

healthy living director,

Millard F. Estey Jr.
OCALA, Fla. — Millard F.
Estey Jr., 93, formally of Erving, Mass., passed
away this past Sunday, July 17, in Ocala, Fla.
He was born in Orange, son of the late Chloe
(Steady) and Millard F. Estey Sr. His dad built the Orange Airport, and later managed it where young Millard
learned to fly, getting his pilot’s license at 16.
MILLARD F. ESTEY JR.
He graduated from Orange High School and
earned an aircraft mechanic’s license and qualified as a
commercial flight instructor.
He later worked at the Westfield Mass., and the Concord, N.H., airports, keeping
the flight line of 12 trainer
planes ready for the Army
Air Corps cadets learning to
fly.
Enlisting into the Army
Air Corps in 1942, Millard
went to radar school and
received a radio mechanic’s
rating. While on leave from
Boca Raton Field in Florida,
he came home and married
Christina M. Pelletier from
Erving. They were married
68 years until her passing in
2013. He returned to Boca
Raton until he was shipped
over to the Pacific Theater
and on to Japan. He returned home a sergeant and
was discharged in 1946.
Millard went to work at
the Leominster Airport, then
Rodney Hunt in Orange,
where he became a welder,
passing several ASME and
AWS welder certifications.
He retired from Hunt after
39 years in 1985. Living in Erving for many
years, he belonged to St.
Blanche’s Church, was a
member of the Men’s Club
and Building Committee,
and was a Communicant
Server and a Church Council member. He served on
the Franklin County Technical School Feasibility Study
Committee. He was also a
member of the Jump Town
Twirlers Square Dance Club
and past member of the
American Legion Post 172 in
Orange.
Millard and his wife spent
many years camping in their
travel trailer. A true craftsman and always willing to
help, he welded on many
trailer hitches and snow
plows, along with other welding projects at home in Erving. He and Christina moved
to Ocala in 1987. Keeping
busy, he worked on crafts
and built several radio-controlled model airplanes for
hobby shops around Ocala.
There are several in the air
that he built. He loved to talk
airplanes, always with an eye
to the sky. Millard is survived by his
two daughters, Gail Dymerski (Joe) in Ocala, and Lola
Smith (Jim) of Viera, Fla.;
grandchildren Deric (Tami)
and David (Luci) Dymerski,
Angela (Billy) Grimes and
Alyssa (Christopher) Smith;
two
great-grandchildren,
Joshua and Jacob Dymerski;
and several nieces and nephews.
Preceding Millard besides
his wife were his brother
Vaughn and sisters Illene,
Beatrice, Inez and Frances.
Burial will be at the Erving
Cemetery at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, those
who wish may make contributions to a charity of their
choice.

Meditation class to begin July 25
ORANGE — With the arrival of the heat of summer
we can feel overwhelmed
with outdoor chores, making arrangements for children, vacation time, work
and other responsibilities.
Finding ways to ground ourselves with love and compassion will be the focus of
a new four-week course in
mediation beginning Monday, July 25. It will be offered at the White Elephant
Yoga Studio, 19 East Main
St. and will meet from 6:30
- 8 p.m. on the following
dates: July 25, Aug. 1, 15
and 22. There will be a basic introduction for those who are
new and ongoing instruction
for those familiar with the
practice. Each class includes
instruction/guidance, meditation and discussion. Both
formal meditation practice
and its integration in everyday life are emphasized.
Attendees will also explore
what this practice, ancient
insights and modern neuroscience can teach about
achieving calm and compassion in the face of difficult
emotions and situations.
Meditation
cultivates
mindfulness — a quality of
mind that allows us to live
in the present moment with
understanding and compassion. By developing the ability to quiet the mind through
this practice we can learn to
open our hearts to whatever
we encounter with a sense of
balance and acceptance.
While participation in
the entire course is recommended, drop-ins are welcome. The cost is $40 for
the course and $12/class
drop-in.

Don’t ground Boeing-Iran airplane deal
I
n the wake of the Iran nuclear nonproliferation treaty agreed to last
year, Boeing has reached a historic
deal to provide passenger airplanes
to Iranian national carrier Iran Air to
update its aging commercial fleet, but
many in Congress — mostly, but not
entirely, Republicans — are trying to
scuttle the transaction. This would
represent a large setback for a major
U.S. business, and all the jobs it would
create here, but would be even more
damaging to long-term foreign relations and the prospect of peace.
In exchange for Iran’s adherence to
reductions and limitations on its nuclear activities and infrastructure under a
deal, some economic sanctions have
been eased. This opened the door — if
only a crack — to increased economic
ties between the two countries, though
trade with the U.S. is still generally
prohibited and Iran is still banned
from using the dollar and accessing the
U.S. financial system.
The Boeing deal, worth up to $25 billion, would include the sale of 80 passenger airplanes of various models for
$17.6 billion, plus the lease of an additional 29 Boeing 737s. But the House
Financial Services Committee recently
passed three measures designed to
block it. European rival Airbus has
already reached a $27 billion deal
with Iran for 118 aircraft. Should the
Boeing deal be scuttled, that business
would presumably be given to Airbus
or other international businesses.
Iran has upheld its end of the bargain
so far, having gotten rid of two-thirds
of its installed centrifuge capacity and
reduced its stockpile of low enriched
uranium by 98 percent.
In the spirit of breeding trust, it is
time for the U.S. to uphold its end
of the deal. It is time to live up to the
noble ideal of free trade — especially
with nations such as Iran with which
tensions are high and we have strong
disagreements. The voluntary cooperation and shared prosperity through
increased jobs and economic growth
that will develop will enrich the lives of
people in both nations, while making
armed conflict between their governments more costly.
Commerce is the tie that binds.
When goods do not cross borders,
armies will, as the saying goes.
It is a sad irony, perhaps intentionally so, that noninterventionists who
see it as unwise and immoral to go to
war on the most dubious relation to
national security or the most base jingoism and xenophobia are branded as
“isolationists,” while those who rarely
see a conflict anywhere in the world
that they don’t think could be solved
with military aggression or economic
sanctions are the ones promoting policies of political and economic isolationism.
“I have often said that the neocons’
greatest fear is for peace to break
out,” former U.S. congressman and
presidential candidate Ron Paul wrote
shortly after the Iran nuclear deal went
into effect in January. “Let’s hope that
this new opening with Iran will allow
many other productive Americans to
grow wealthy through trade and business ties. Let’s hope many new productive jobs will be created on both
sides. Peace is prosperous!”

US, allies say they’re at key
moment in fight against IS
By BRADLEY KLAPPER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) —
The United States and its
anti-Islamic State coalition
allies said Thursday they’ve
reached a key moment in
their campaign to defeat
the extremist group, despite
several months of limited
ground gains and major terrorist attacks.
After two days of talks in
Washington, a joint statement cited steady progress
by Iraqi forces and Syrian
opposition militias as they
edge closer to Mosul, the
Islamic State’s headquarters
in Iraq, and Raqqa, its Syrian base of operations.
But the 30 countries that
sent top diplomats and defense officials also learned
of only limited territorial
advances.
“Our coalition and our
partners on the ground
have driven Daesh out of
nearly half the territory it
once occupied in Iraq and
20 percent in Syria,” Secretary of State John Kerry
told participants, using an
alternate acronym for the
group. Those numbers are
barely better than they were
in January.
Kerry cited other markers of success, such as the
recapture of Iraqi cities
including Ramadi and Fallujah. Airstrikes have killed
Islamic State leaders and
disrupted the group’s military operations, he said.
Security
has
tightened
along the Syria-Turkey border. Coalition attacks have
eliminated Islamic State oil
facilities, tanker trucks and
cash storage sites. And this
month, Iraqi forces seized
an air base 40 miles south of
Mosul, another step toward
retaking that city.
For all its battlefield
struggles, however, the extremist group or its sympathizers have pulled off a
series of deadly attacks in
the Middle East, Europe
and Asia. These include last
week’s truck attack during
Bastille Day in Nice, France,
that killed 84 people.
“The world is going to
look back and say Daesh
made zero difference beyond the cruel suffering
it caused,” Kerry said at a
news conference afterward.
Thursday’s discussions at
the State Department followed a pair of meetings
Wednesday.
At Joint Base Andrews in
Maryland, Defense Secretary Ash Carter and other
officials accelerated plans
for reconstruction after the
battles are over. At the State
Department, Kerry and foreign ministers pledged more
than $2.1 billion for Iraq as
it captures more territory
from the Islamic State, helping with everything from demining to long-term development assistance.
Kerry to Turkey: Send Gulen evidence, not allegations
WASHINGTON (AP)
— Secretary of State John
Kerry is calling on Turkey
to provide hard evidence
that a U.S.-based cleric
was behind a foiled coup
attempt last weekend if it
wants him extradited.
Kerry said Wednesday
that he made clear in several phone calls with Turkey’s foreign minister in
recent days that mere allegations of wrongdoing
against Fethullah Gulen
would not meet U.S. extradition requirements.
“With respect to Mr.
Gulen, we have consistently said to our friends
in Turkey and allies in
Turkey that we need evidence,” Kerry told reporters at the State Department. “We have a very
strict set of requirements
that have to be met for an
extradition to take place.”
Turkey submitted a dossier of documents about
Gulen, who lives in exile
in Pennsylvania, to the
Justice Department on
Tuesday. Kerry said he
had not yet seen the documents and other U.S. officials have not yet said
whether they constitute
a formal extradition request.
However, Kerry said he
had told Turkish Foreign
Minister Mevlut Cavosoglu in several phone calls:
“Please don’t send us allegations, send us evidence.
We need to have evidence
which we can then make a
judgment about.”
Separately,
Defense
Secretary Ash Carter said
his counterpart, Defense
Minister Fikri Isik, assured him in a phone call
on Tuesday that the coup
and its aftermath would
not affect Turkey’s support for the fight against
the Islamic State group.
In the days since the
coup failed, Turkey has
intensified a sweeping
crackdown on the media,
the military, the courts
and the education system
following an attempted
coup, targeting tens of
thousands of teachers and
other state employees believed to have links with
Gulen for dismissal. The
purge has raised concerns
about basic freedoms and
the effectiveness of key
institutions.
Kerry said the U.S. was
watching those developments with caution but
reiterated Washington’s
support for the elected
government.
Obama to host Mexican
president Pena Nieto
By DARLENE SUPERVILLE
Associated Press
“I think it’s fair to say that
almost anything that President
Obama did on Friday would

to the agenda that’s being put
forward by the other side,”
said White House press secretary Josh Earnest. “But in this
case, it’s been a while since the
president has hosted the president of Mexico here at the
White House.”
Pena Nieto’s only other
White House visit came in
January 2015.
In announcing his presidential campaign last summer,
Trump pledged to build a border wall between the U.S. and
Mexico and make Mexico pay
for it. He also said Mexican
immigrants “have lots of problems” and when they come
to the U.S. “they’re bringing
drugs. They’re bringing crime.
They’re rapists. And some, I
assume, are good people.”
Pena Nieto has said his government will work with whoever succeeds Obama in January. Former Obama Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton is expected to become the Democratic nominee for president
when her party convenes next
week in Philadelphia.
But Pena Nieto has also criticized Trump’s tone, telling a

Men sentenced to 2 years in prison in
Pokemon Championships weapons case
BOSTON (AP) — Two
men who made online
threats against the Pokemon World Championships
and took guns and ammunition to the event last August
pleaded guilty on Thursday
and were each sentenced to
two years in prison.
James Stumbo, of Boone,
Iowa, and Kevin Norton, of
Ames, Iowa, were arrested
while trying to register for
the Boston event. Authorities subsequently found
an AR-15 rifle, a 12-gauge
shotgun and nearly 300
rounds of ammunition in
their car.
Stumbo, 28, and Norton, 19, changed their pleas
from not guilty to guilty in
Suffolk Superior Court in
Boston on Thursday. They
were also given two years of
probation and were ordered
to undergo mental health
evaluations and possess no
weapons once their prison
terms are completed.
The men initially faced
a total of five weapons
charges, but that was reduced to four, two charges
each. Prosecutors said they
agreed to dismiss the fifth
charge, unlawful possession
of a high-capacity feeding
device, because both the
men’s weapons were unloaded and the ammunition
for them was secured.
Authorities said the men
posted online statements
and images that could have
been construed as threats of
gun violence and then drove
25 hours to Boston for the
video and card game competition.
In one post, Stumbo displayed an AR-15 rifle and a
shotgun on his car’s trunk
with the message: “Kevin
Norton and I are ready
for worlds Boston here we
come.”
That and other statements were made during an
online chat in which other
participants, not Stumbo or
Norton, referred to “Columbine pt 2,” ‘‘another
Boston massacre” and the
“Boston bombing,” prosecutors say.
The men’s lawyers have
argued the online remarks
were idle chatter.
Stumbo and Norton have
been in custody since their

New Jersey woman, 113, oldest American
PITTSTOWN, N.J. (AP)
— A 113-year-old New Jersey woman is the new holder
of the title of oldest American.
Adele Dunlap became the
country’s oldest person earlier this month following the
death of Goldie Michelson,
of Worcester, Massachusetts, The Record newspaper reported.
She also is the 10th oldest person in the world,
according to the Los Angeles-based
Gerontology
Research Group, which
tracks supercentenarians,
people 110 or older.
Dunlap lives at the Country Arch Care Center in
Pittstown, where she first
arrived at age 99 ½. Asked
how it feels to be the oldest American, she told the
newspaper: “I don’t feel any
different.” Asked what it
means to be an American,
she said: “Well, I’ve never
been anything else.”
Dunlap taught school before marrying and settling
down to raise the couple’s
three children.
Her husband worked for
an insurance company and
died in 1963.
She doesn’t give an explanation for her longevity, and
her 86-year-old son, Earl,
is also at a loss to credit
any particular thing for his
mother’s long life.
“It’s hard to say,” Earl
be restored.”
As he moves into the general election campaign, he’s
sticking to the controversial
proposals of his primary
campaign, including building a wall along the entire
U.S.-Mexico border and
suspending
immigration
from nations “compromised
by terrorism.”
But in a nod to a broader
swath of Americans, he said
young people in predominantly black cities “have as
much of a right to live out
their dreams as any other
child in America.” He also
vowed to protect gays and
lesbians from violence and
oppression, a pledge that
was greeted with applause
from the crowd.
“As a Republican, it is so
nice to hear you cheering
for what I just said,” he responded.
Trump was introduced by
his daughter Ivanka, who
announced a childcare policy proposal that the campaign had not mentioned
before.
“As president, my father
will change the labor laws
that were put in place at a
time when women weren’t
a significant portion of the
workplace, and he will focus
on making quality childcare
affordable and accessible
for all,” she said.
Trump took the stage in
Cleveland facing a daunting
array of challenges, many
of his own making. Though
he vanquished 16 primary
rivals, he’s viewed with unprecedented negativity by
the broader electorate, and
is struggling in particular
with younger voters and minorities, groups GOP leaders know they need for the
party to grow.
The first three days of
this week’s convention bordered on chaos, starting
with a plagiarism charge
involving his wife Melania
Trump’s speech and moving
on to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s
dramatic refusal to endorse
him from the convention
stage.
Then, Trump sparked

Troy students uncover ancient past
TROY, Ala. (AP) — Students from Alabama’s Troy
University recently participated in an archaeological
expedition that has shed new
light on the origins of the
Philistines, a race of people
described in the Bible.
The dig uncovered what is
believed to have been a Philistine cemetery in the area
of Ashkelon, a site near Tel
Aviv in modern-day Israel.
The Bible describes the Philistines as the enemy of the
ancient Israelites. Researchers believe the discovery
could reveal more information about the Philistines
and their origins.
Ashleigh Williams, of
Enterprise, Alabama, was
among the Troy students participating in the expedition.
Williams said Troy students
who had attended previous
digs at the site convinced her
to make the trip.
general election united in
opposition to Clinton but
still divided over Trump.
Underscoring his unorthodox candidacy, Trump doubled down on the hard-line
immigration policies that
fired up conservatives in
the primary but broke with
many in his party by promising protections for gays and
lesbians.
His address on the closing night of the convention
marked his highest-profile
opportunity yet to heal Republican divisions and show
voters he’s prepared for the
presidency. Ever the showman, he fed off the energy
of the crowd, stepping back
to soak in applause and
joining the delegates as they
chanted, “U-S-A.”
As the crowd, fiercely
opposed to Clinton, broke
out in its oft-used refrain
of “Lock her up,” he waved
them off, and instead declared, “Let’s defeat her in
November.” Yet he also accused her of “terrible, terrible crimes” and said her
greatest achievement may
have been avoiding prison
for her use of a private
email and personal server as
secretary of state.
The more than hourlong speech was strikingly
dark for a celebratory event
and almost entirely lacking
in specific policy details.
Trump shouted throughout
as he read off a teleprompter, showing few flashes of
humor or even a smile.
He accused Clinton,
his far-more-experienced
Democratic rival, of utterly
lacking the good judgment
to serve in the White House
and as the military’s commander in chief.
“This is the legacy of Hillary Clinton: death, destruction, terrorism and weakness,” he said. “But Hillary
Clinton’s legacy does not
have to be America’s legacy.”
In a direct appeal to
Americans shaken by a summer of violence at home and
around the world, Trump
promised that if he takes office in January, “safety will
“I had to wait almost three
years before I was able to go
on this expedition, and when
I was finally given the opportunity to go, Ashkelon became a life changing experience for me that I will always
cherish,” she said.
Williams said putting together a skeleton in the field
was one of the most memorable experiences she had on
the trip.
“It occurred to me in that
moment that I was uncovering a once living person that
had family, friends, a home,
and a story that was buried
by time,” she said.
Williams, 20, is an anthropology major who intends to
pursue forensic anthropology as a career.
In addition to the archaeological work, Williams said
she also enjoyed interacting with the residents of the
area.
“The people were very
friendly, and patient with
us,” she said. “They spoke
to us in English, making the
transaction easier. Restaurants had menus that were in
English and Hebrew, so the
language barrier was not that
difficult.”
Clayton Johnson, also of
Enterprise, participated in
the expedition too. Johnson said he’s participated in
digs in America, but there’s
something different about
participating in one in a
place like Ashkelon.
“There’s something different about a 3,000 year old
site as opposed to something
that’s only 300 years old,” he
said.
Johnson said expeditions
provide a critical trial by fire
for anthropology students.
“It can either solidify your
commitment or change your
mind,” he said.

Oval Office readiness by
suggesting in the midst of
the convention that the U.S.
might not defend America’s
NATO partners with him as
president. The remarks, in
an interview published online Wednesday by The New
York Times, deviate from
decades of American doctrine and seem to reject the
67-year-old alliance’s bedrock principle of collective
defense.
Trump reinforced his position from the convention
stage, saying the United
States has been “picking up
the cost” of NATO’s defenses for too long. He also disavowed America’s foreign
policy posture under both
Democratic and Republican presidents, criticizing
“fifteen years of wars in the
Middle East” and declaring
that “Americanism, not globalism, will be our credo.”
“As long as we are led by
politicians who will not put
‘America First,’ then we can
be assured that other nations will not treat America
with respect,” he said.
He had promised to describe “major, major” tax
cuts. But his economic proposals Thursday night were
vague, centering on unspecified plans to create millions of jobs. He promised
a “simplified” tax system for
the middle class and businesses, fewer regulations
and renegotiation of trade
deals that he says have put
working class Americans at
a disadvantage.
Top Clinton aide John
Podesta panned Trump for
offering little more than
“prejudice and paranoia”
and promised she would
offer a more positive vision
for America when she accepts the party’s nomination
at its convention next week
in Philadelphia.

of naming a running mate

me to give so much back to

she said. “I love the work I

Red Sox pound out 17 hits in 13-2 defeat of Twins
Pedroia leads offensive barrage with
5 hits; Betts, JBJ, Ortiz homer in win
By DOUG ALDEN
Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — July just
keeps getting better in Boston.
The Red Sox continued their
midsummer surge with another
offensive barrage, getting 17 hits
and routing the Minnesota Twins
13-2 on Thursday night.
After closing out June by losing
four of five, the Red Sox are 12-3
in July and standing alone atop
the AL East.
“The month of July has been
a very good offensive month as
we’ve kind of gotten past that
stretch in June,” manager John
Farrell said. “Just great to see that
number of quality at-bats.”
Mookie Betts homered on the
first pitch Boston faced and the
Red Sox added home runs by
Jackie Bradley Jr. and David Ortiz. Boston has won three straight
and nine of 10.
The Red Sox managed to outdo
their 16-hit total from an 11-7 win
against San Francisco on Wednesday night and finished with at least
15 hits for the 15th time this season.
Betts, Ortiz and Xander Bogaerts had three hits apiece and
Dustin Pedroia went 5 for 5 with
two doubles as Boston climbed to
a season-best 15 games above .500
(54-39).
Steven Wright (12-5) tied his
career high with nine strikeouts
and held Minnesota to four hits
in eight innings. He had just set
down the Twins in order in the top
of the first when Betts gave Boston a 1-0 lead by driving the first
pitch he saw from Tyler Duffey out
to left-center for his 19th homer.
“Wrighty had a quick inning and
I figured we might as well ride that
momentum going into our first atbat,” Betts said. “We were ready
to play. Today it was our turn, but
tomorrow it could be the opposite.”
Maybe, but not lately in Boston. The Red Sox have won seven
straight at home.
The Twins didn’t reach base
against Boston’s knuckleballer
until the fifth inning and finished
with five hits.
“My goal is just to go as deep as
I can until they tell me I’m done.
Today I was lucky enough to go
eight,” Wright said. “It makes it
easy when the guys score 11 runs
or 12 runs, but today was an allaround good day.”
Wright allowed four hits and
Minnesota added a ground-rule
double by pinch-hitter Eduardo
Escobar in the ninth off reliever
Clay Buchholz. The former starter
came on to finish the game after
Ortiz had capped off Boston’s outburst with a two-run homer in the
bottom of the eighth.
“It got ugly,” Twins manager
Paul Molitor said. “We’ve haven’t
had a game like that in a while.”
Boston was up 3-0 after getting
four hits against Duffey (5-7) in
the first. Betts started it with the
homer and Pedroia, Bogaerts and
Ortiz followed with consecutive
singles.
“They’re a pretty aggressive
team. They’re confident,” Duffey
said. “When they’re in a groove
like that, if you don’t make them
uncomfortable they can lean on
some stuff.”
Betts hit the first pitch Duffey
threw out to left, then led off the
third with a single as Boston added

PLYMOUTH, Mass. (AP) —
Former New England Patriots star
Aaron Hernandez has a new legal
team to defend him in the 2012
slayings of two men outside a Boston nightclub.
A judge Thursday allowed Hernandez’s previous attorneys to
withdraw and transfer the case to
new attorneys. His new team includes Florida attorney Jose Baez,
who successfully defended Casey
Anthony in her 2011 trial in the
death of her daughter.
Hernandez already is serving
a life sentence in the 2013 killing
of semi-pro football player Odin
Lloyd. He also is accused of gunning down Daniel de Abreu and
Safiro Furtado after one of the
men accidentally spilled a drink
on him. He has pleaded not guilty.
He was indicted in Suffolk

Plymouth County, where Judge
Jeffrey Locke is assigned.
Maine hockey group has new investor
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A
group that wants to bring a new
minor league hockey team to Portland says it has found an investor
who will bankroll most or all of the
deal.
The Portland Press Herald reports the unnamed investor might
put up all of the $750,000 needed
to buy a team. Former Portland
Regional Chamber of Commerce
head Godfrey Wood is leading the
effort to bring a team to Maine.
Wood says he will meet with the
investor next week to hammer out
details, such as whether the investor would be the sole owner or
majority owner.
Wood played a key role in bringing the Portland Pirates to the city
in 1993. The Pirates announced in
May that the club had been sold
and was moving to Springfield,
Massachusetts for 2016-17.

says a misdemeanor assault-andbattery charge from a confrontation near the Michigan State campus could be resolved before the
U.S. basketball team competes in
the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
James Heos tells the Lansing State Journal (http://on.lsj.
com/2afT4KC ) that Green appeared during a closed-door pretrial conference Thursday in East
Lansing District Court via Face-
Time. The U.S. team starts play in
Rio on Aug. 6.
Heos said a plea agreement is a
possibility and that he’s “still accumulating witness’ statements”
and “trying to get to the bottom of
this.”
Green is a former Michigan
State standout. He’s accused of
striking ex-Spartan football player
Jermaine Edmondson on July 10
near campus.
Edmondson received a release
to transfer from the school.

Camp a balancing act as Pats
prepare for life without Brady
By KYLE HIGHTOWER
AP Sports Writer
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP)
— In many ways, the New England
Patriots enter their 2016 training
camp as close as they’ve been in
19 months to ridding themselves
of the cloud that has trailed them
since the “Deflategate” saga began.
They got a respite last season
after Tom Brady was allowed to
play when his appeal of a fourgame suspension handed down by
the league for his involvement in
a scheme to underinflate footballs
during the 2015 AFC championship game was overturned.
The NFL challenged that ruling, and the league’s punishment
was reinstated by an appeals court
in April. That same court denied
Brady’s petition for a rehearing of
its decision July 13, and Brady —
who will turn 39 on Aug. 3 — finally decided to end his legal fight
by announcing he would accept his
suspension.
It means the Patriots will open
camp July 27 knowing the cornerstone of their franchise won’t be
available for the first quarter of the
season. But it will allow them to
use the unfavorable outcome to get
a meaningful evaluation of Brady
understudy Jimmy Garoppolo.
The 24-year-old has Brady’s 100watt smile and similarly entered
the NFL with an underrated college resume. But he has completed
just 20 passes as a backup the past
two years — hardly the sample size
the Patriots need to know whether
he can be Brady’s replacement
long term.
So what Garoppolo shows in
camp, and during his upcoming
four-game audition, will go a long
way toward dictating that.
“Obviously experience always
helps, but to be honest it really
doesn’t change much for me,”
Garoppolo said last month when
asked if having gone through uncertainly last season surrounding
Brady helped prepare him for this
offseason. “Whether it happened
last year or didn’t happen, I’m pretty much going about it the same
way, so just enjoying the process
right now.”
Toss in preseason questions
about New England’s running
game as starter Dion Lewis works
his way back from knee surgery, the
offensive line’s ability to bounce
back following its own injuryplagued season, plus the addition
of free agents like tight end Martellus Bennett, and it adds to the intrigue for a franchise that has made
it to at least the AFC title game in
each of the last five seasons.
Here are some other things to
watch for during Patriots training
camp:
ROOKIE WATCH: New England
already has a solid core at cornerback in Logan Ryan and Malcolm
Butler. But the addition of rookie
and former Alabama standout
Cyrus Jones is huge in two key areas. Jones proved he had the skillset of a cover cornerback during his
final college season, but look for
Bill Belichick to take a long look at
him on special teams. Jones shined
as a punt returner in 2015, returning four for touchdowns on just 42
attempts.
TWEAKING THE O-LINE: One of the
lasting images of the Patriots’ AFC
title game loss was Brady repeatedly having to pick himself up after enduring a barrage of Broncos’

MLB: Dodgers snap Strasburg’s streak
WASHINGTON (AP) — Justin
Turner homered twice and drove
in five runs and the Los Angeles
Dodgers ended Stephen Strasburg’s undefeated streak by beating the Washington Nationals 6-3
on Thursday.
Turner hit his 16th and 17th
home runs, a two-run shot off
Strasburg in the first and a threerun shot off the right-hander in
the third, to set a career high.
Howie Kendrick extended his
hitting streak to 13 games, and
Adrian Gonzalez also drove in a
run for the Dodgers. They beat
the Nationals for the fifth time in
six games this season.
Strasburg (13-1) lost for the first
time since Sept. 9, ending a run of
16 consecutive winning decisions.
Making it through the sixth, he
allowed a season-high six earned
runs and seven hits — all in the
first three innings — and struck
out 10.
Before Strasburg could settle
down, the Dodgers crushed the
ball against him, including a double off the left-field wall from
Gonzalez and Turner’s two home
runs. At one point Strasburg
struck out seven of nine Los Angeles batters and allowed just one
base runner after the third.
Left-hander Adam Liberatore
(2-0) got the win by pitching a
scoreless eighth. Kenley Jansen
finished for his 28th save.
ORIOLES 4, YANKEES 1
NEW YORK (AP) — Chris
Tillman tied for the major league
lead with his 14th victory, pitching
four-hit ball for seven innings and
helping depleted Baltimore avert
a four-game sweep at Yankee Stadium.
The Orioles had lost four
straight overall, costing them their
lead in the AL East.
Baltimore slugger Chris Davis,
shortstop Manny Machado and
manager Buck Showalter returned
from a stomach bug that’s hit the
clubhouse. But Orioles center
fielder Adam Jones didn’t play
because of back spasms, catcher
Matt Wieters missed his third consecutive game after being hit by a
pitch in the foot and rookie out-
fielder Joey Rickard sat out with
an injured thumb.
Tillman (14-2) matched White
Sox ace Chris Sale for the most
victories in the majors. Tillman
gave up three hits and two walks
to the first eight batters, capped
by Starlin Castro’s RBI single. The
tall right-hander then set down 16
of his final 17 hitters.
Brad Brach pitched the eighth
and Zach Britton closed for his
30th save in as many chances.
CC Sabathia (5-8) lost on his
36th birthday.
CARDINALS 6, PADRES 5
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Aledmys
Diaz’s walk-off single in the ninth
inning gave St. Louis a comeback
victory over San Diego.
St. Louis scored four runs — the
last three on Stephen Piscotty’s
homer — to tie it in the eighth and
went on to its first four-game series sweep at home since beating
Colorado on Sept. 30-Oct. 3, 2010.
Tommy Pham led off the ninth
with a double off reliever Carlos
Villanueva (1-1). With the bases
loaded and one out, Diaz ripped
a 3-2 pitch to left for the winner.
Yangervis Solarte homered in
the eighth inning to extend the Padres’ franchise-record home run
streak to 19 consecutive games.
The streak is the longest in the
National League since Milwaukee
hit home runs in 20 consecutive
games in July 2008.
PIRATES 5, BREWERS 3
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Francisco Liriano took another step
toward putting his season-long
control issues behind him, striking
out 13 in Pittsburgh’s victory over
Milwaukee.
Liriano (6-9) gave up three
runs and four hits in 6 2/3 innings
and didn’t issue a walk for just
the second time in 19 starts. The
left-hander entered the game having issued a major league-high 62
walks.
Mark Melancon worked the
ninth for his 28th save.
Matt Joyce hit a three-run homer off Matt Garza (1-4) in the first
inning and finished with four RBIs
after being a last-second substitution in the outfield when Starling
Marte was diagnosed with flu-like
symptoms shortly before the first
pitch.
Jonathan Villar homored for
the Brewers.
ROCKIES 7, BRAVES 3
DENVER (AP) — Carlos Gonzalez hit a three-run homer to
break a scoreless tie in the sixth inning, Chad Bettis threw efficiently
into the seventh and Colorado
topped Atlanta,
Gonzalez lined a 97 mph fastball from Mike Foltynewicz (3-4)
over the fence in right-center. It
was Gonzalez’s 20th homer of the
season.
Bettis (8-6) allowed one run
over 6 2-3 innings. He was cruising
through Atlanta’s lineup until hitting a bump in the seventh when
he gave up an RBI double to A.J.
Pierzynski.
Trailing 7-1 in the ninth, the
Braves scored twice before the
Rockies brought in closer Carlos
Estevez with two outs. He got Jace
Peterson to roll out to end the
game and earn his seventh save.
MARLINS 9, PHILLIES 3
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Tom
Koehler pitched eight strong innings, Ichiro Suzuki moved within
four hits of 3,000 for his career
and Miami pounded out 16 hits
against Philadelphia.
Christian Yelich homered, and
the Marlins won three of four over
the Phillies to cap a seven-game
road trip at 5-2. Miami moved 1
1/2 games ahead of idle New York
for the second NL wild-card spot.
Koehler (7-8) rebounded from
a month-long slump with arguably
his best outing of the season. He
gave up two hits and only one of
his three runs allowed was earned
while striking out five and walking
one.
Ryan Howard and Freddy Galvis homered for Philadelphia.
Jerad Eickhoff (6-11) was the
loser.

first NFL training camp with
lengthy football pedigree
that includes seven members
of his family that played football in the Big Ten, with four
going on to NFL careers.
GRONK GETS SOME COMPANY: New England has leaned
on Rob Gronkowski over
games to lead the Rays to a
victory over the Athletics.
He followed up a fivehit game in Colorado on
Wednesday by hitting a solo
homer in the second against
Sonny Gray (4-9) and then
adding a leadoff single in
the big fifth inning that gave
Tampa Bay the lead for
good.
Beckham, who started
the streak with a single in
his final at-bat Monday,
was finally retired when he
popped out to end the sixth

damage. His eight hits in
eight at-bats — he walked in
his other plate appearance

at times taken its toll on the
freewheeling tight end. The
Patriots got him some company by trading for eight-year
veteran Martellus Bennett.
Bennett said he’s adapting
to New England, but hasn’t
lost the big personality he’s
become known for in various
NFL locker rooms. “Dr. Seuss said no one can be youer

PEDROIA PERFECT
Pedroia entered Thursday
without a four-hit game so
far this season, then went 5
for 5 with three singles and
two doubles.
“The thing that you love
is when he hits the ball into
right field, right-center field.
He did it a couple times to-
night,” Farrell said. “That’s
when his swing is, I think,
most pure. He might argue
that. He takes pride in being
able to turn on some pitches
and pulling the ball.”
ONE FOR THE SKIPPER
The win was Boston’s
300th under Farrell, who
managed the Red Sox to the
2013 World Series title in his
first season at the helm.
“It means I’ve been fortunate to be in a position
with a lot of good players
and work with a lot of really
quality people,” Farrell said.

Twins: OF Bryon Buxton

Johnson, List share Canadian Open lead
OAKVILLE,
Ontario
(AP) — Dustin Johnson
made a 10-foot eagle putt on
the par-5 18th hole Thursday
for a 6-under 66 and a share
of the Canadian Open lead
with Luke List.
“My game feels good,”
Johnson said. “I’ve got a lot
of confidence in it. I feel like
I’m swinging really well. I felt
like I rolled the ball really
nicely with the putter today.
I’m definitely driving the ball
nicely. I’ve got a lot of confidence in the driver. I feel like
I can hit it in the fairway.”
The U.S. Open champion
set up the eagle with a 364yard drive and 150-yard approach. In windy conditions
at sun-baked Glen Abbey,
he also had seven birdies and
drove into the water on the
par-4 14th en route to a double bogey.
“I drove it in the fairway
a bunch. That was definitely
very helpful,” Johnson said.
“The conditions were tough.
The wind was blowing pretty
hard. I felt like I played really well. I just made one bad
swing on 14, just didn’t quite
commit to the shot I was hit-
ting. Then I got a little unlucky for it to go in the water
there. But other than that, I
thought I played really, really
nicely all day long.”
He played the three backnine par-5 holes in 4 under.
“I like this golf course,”
said Johnson, ranked second
in the world. “I think it sets
up well for me. I like it off the
tee. The conditions are really
tough right now. The greens
are really firm, but they are
rolling really nicely. So if you
get some good looks at it, you
can hole some putts.”
List birdied all four par
5s in a round he closed with
seven pars.
“I was happy with that,”
List said, “With my length, I
tried to get it in play off the
tee and have a smart iron into
the par 5s. If I can play them 4
under every day all week, that
would be great. ... The rough
is down this year, which
makes for if you’re hitting
your driver relatively straight,
you can take advantage of
it and get some wedges out
there.”
Canadian amateur Jared
du Toit was a stroke back
along with former Arizona
State teammate Jon Rahm,
Chesson Hadley and Kelly
Kraft. Coming off his junior
season for the Sun Devils, du
Toit holed out with an 8-iron
for eagle on the par-4 17th
and birdied 18.
“I was pretty disappointed
with myself for not birdieing
16 and followed it up with a
very poor drive on 17,” said
du Toit, from Kimberley,
British Columbia. “But then
had a good number. Caddie
gave me a good yardage. Just
had to hit a good one shot.
Came out just how I wanted.
I didn’t even know it went in.”
He was popular with the
home fans.
“Well, it’s the first time I’ve
had to sign autographs after
rounds,” du Toit said. “That
was awesome. Definitely a
lot of fun. It’s definitely in the
top three kind of rounds I’ve
played my career, just kind
of feeling-wise and atmosphere.”

LONDON (AP) — Fortyfive more athletes, including
23 medalists from the 2008
Beijing Games, have been
caught for doping after retesting of samples from the
last two Olympics, the IOC
said Friday.
The new cases bring to 98
the total number of athletes
who have failed tests so far in
the reanalysis of their stored
samples from Beijing and the
2012 Olympics in London.
Using “the very latest scientific analysis methods,”
the latest round of retests
produced 30 “provisional”
positive findings from Beijing
and 15 confirmed positives
from London, the IOC reported.
No names were given.
The International Olympic Committee stores doping
samples for 10 years so they
can be retested when new
methods become available,
meaning drug cheats who escaped detection at the time
can be caught years later.
The retesting program has
targeted athletes who were
in contention to compete at
the upcoming Olympics in
Rio de Janeiro, but has also
been widened to cover many
medalists.
“All athletes found to
have infringed the anti-
doping rules will be banned
from competing” at the Rio
Games, the IOC said.
The announcement comes
at a time when the IOC is
weighing whether to ban
Russia from the Rio Olympics over allegations of systematic and state-run doping.
On Thursday, the Court
of Arbitration for Sport upheld an IAAF ban on Russia’s track and field athletes
from the games. The IOC executive board is scheduled to
hold a meeting Sunday amid
calls by anti-doping bodies to
exclude Russia entirely from
Rio.
The IOC said the previous first wave of retests had
found 30 positive cases from
Beijing and 23 from London.
The Russian Olympic Committee has said 22 of those
cases involved Russian athletes, including medalists.
A total of 1,243 samples
have been retested so far in
the first two waves of the reanalysis program.
The 30 new positive cases
from Beijing involved athletes from four sports and
eight countries.
The 15 athletes caught in
the new London tests represent two sports and nine
countries. The IOC did not
say whether any were medalists.
A third and fourth round
of retesting will continue
throughout and after the Rio
Games, the IOC said.
“The new reanalysis once
again shows the commitment of the IOC in the fight
against doping,” IOC President Thomas Bach said in a
statement.
The IOC said it was informing the national Olympic
committees and international sports federations affected
by the latest positives, clearing the way for disciplinary
proceedings to begin against
the athletes.
The IOC said it could not
provide more details, including the names of the athletes,
“for legal reasons.”
“This will follow in due
course,” it said.
So far, only one athlete has
been formally disqualified by
the IOC in the retesting program.
Last week, Ukrainian
weightlifter Yulia Kalina was
stripped of her bronze medal
from the London Olympics after her sample came
back positive for the steroid
turinabol.
The IOC reported in May
that it had found 31 positives
from Beijing. It said Friday
that the backup “B’’ samples
in two cases did not confirm
the original finding, while an
additional positive case was
confirmed later.
Holly Holm set to return in UFC Chicago
CHICAGO (AP) — Holly
Holm was the unforgettable
champ for four months.
Her shocking knock out of
Ronda Rousey in Melbourne
at UFC 193 instantly changed
the dynamics of women’s
mixed martial arts.
The 34-year old from Albuquerque, New Mexico,
put the face of the UFC into
hiding, but Holm’s reign as
champ was short-lived when
she was put to sleep by Miesha Tate’s rear naked choke
at UFC 196.
Just over eight months after shocking the MMA world,
Holm (10-1) is attempting
to make another run for the
women’s bantamweight belt
as she headlines UFC Chicago in a five-round fight
against Valentina Shevchenko (12-2) on Saturday night.
Holm, a former welterweight boxing champ, can
possibly put herself in contention to fight now champ
Amanda Nunes, who dismantled Tate earlier in the month
at UFC 200.
But Holm knows how easily she can be pushed back
from the spotlight with a poor
showing against Shevchenko.
“If I don’t win here, then
what opportunities are going to be there, I don’t know.
So I need to make sure I get
through this weekend and do
a good showing this weekend
first,” said Hohm.
Of course, a shot at the belt
will most likely depend on
when or if Rousey will fight
again.

Hardy works out for Jags
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
(AP) — The Jacksonville
Jaguars worked out polarizing defensive end Greg
Hardy on Thursday.
A team spokesman confirmed the workout but did
not indicate whether the
Jags planned on signing the
former Dallas and Carolina
standout.
Hardy had a tumultuous
season in Dallas, one that
started with a four-game
suspension related to his
domestic violence case in
North Carolina and included several disruptions that
included a physical con-
frontation with an assistant
coach.
Working out Hardy shows
the Jaguars are still looking
for pass-rushing help after
failing to land Olivier Vernon and Robert Ayers in
free agency. Vernon signed
with the New York Giants,
and Ayers ended up in Tampa Bay.
Jacksonville parted ways
with Chris Clemons and Andre Branch, leaving a host
of unproven youngsters in
the rotation at defensive
end. Expected starter Dante
Fowler is coming off reconstructive knee surgery.
J.J. Watt has back surgery
HOUSTON (AP) — A
person familiar with J.J.
Watt’s condition said the
Houston Texans’ star defensive end has had back surgery and will begin training
camp on the physically unable to perform list.
The person spoke to The
Associated Press on Thursday night on condition of
anonymity because the team
hasn’t confirmed the surgery or Watts’ roster status.
Watt, the NFL sacks leader last season with 17 1/2,
will miss the start of training
camp, but is expected to be
ready for the season opener.
He has never missed a regular-season game.
The 27-year-old Watt
played last season with a
herniated disk and spent
most of the offseason recovering after having surgery to
repair a groin injury in January.
Last season, Watt helped
the Texans to their first playoff berth since 2012 and
won his second straight Defensive Player of the Year
Award.
The surgery was first
reported by the Houston
Chronicle and ESPN.

Officers responded to a report of an accident just
before 4 p.m. Thursday. Police say the Billerica boy
was struck by a car driven by a 35-year-old Chelmsford
woman on Boston Road.
The boy was taken to a local hospital with serious injuries. He wasn’t immediately identified.
Police say the woman wasn’t injured and remained at
the scene. They’re investigating whether the vehicle ran
a red light. No charges have been filed.
Protective custody rules extended to ODs

Still-low mortgage rates ushering new refi wave
By ALEX VEIGA
and JOSH BOAK,
AP Business Writers
The last time Mark McCollam refinanced the loan on his
three-bedroom house in Los
Angeles, he figured mortgage
rates would only head higher
from there. He was wrong.
Not that he’s complaining.
The aerospace engineer
recently refinanced again,
lowering his mortgage rate
by 1 percentage point to 3.5
percent. That’s about $300 a
month he plans to put toward
school and other costs for his
two young kids, and into savings.
“It just gives us a little bit of
a cushion,” said McCollam,
43. “Once we knew we could
get the 3.5, that was our green
light.”
Mortgage interest rates
have remained low for so
long, lenders and borrowers
alike have been expecting
rates would only creep higher.
Instead, they’ve tested record
lows. Since Britain’s vote
last month to exit the European Union rattled financial
markets, average long-term
mortgage rates have dipped
tantalizingly close to their alltime low of 3.31 percent set in
November 2012.
That’s prompting a flurry
of purchases and refinancings
as consumers like McCollam
rush to take advantage. Mortgage borrowing has jumped
to the highest level in three
years, according to quarterly
data provided by the Mortgage Bankers Association.
Refinancing
applications
have posted big increases this
month.
Ultra-low rates can mean
big savings, but there’s a catch:
First, you have to qualify. Bad
credit and insufficient home
equity remain hurdles to refinancing. The dip in rates
may not be worthwhile for
homeowners whose mortgage
rates are already low. And for
would-be buyers, low rates
don’t overcome the struggle
to come up with a down payment.
NEAR NEW LOWS
Long-term mortgage rates
have been running below the
two-decade average of 6 percent since 2009. Since last fall,
they’ve averaged below 4 percent.
The so-called “Brexit” vote
on June 23 added to investors’ anxieties about a possible worldwide recession and
stubbornly low inflation. They
typically respond by buying
more U.S. bonds, a traditional
safe haven. Higher bond prices mean lower bond yields.
That’s good news for borrowers, because mortgage rates
tend to follow the trajectory

of the yield on 10-year U.S.
Treasury bonds. The yield was
1.56 percent on Wednesday,
up from the record low of 1.32
percent reached on July 6, according to Tradeweb.
The average rate on a 30year, fixed mortgage was 3.45
percent this week, according
to mortgage giant Freddie
Mac. A year ago, it was 4.09
percent.
ALL ABOARD
THE REFI TRAIN
The prospect of a more affordable mortgage is prompting many borrowers to lock
in lower rates. “We’re seeing
huge activity right now,” said
Mat Ishbia, president and
chief executive of United
Wholesale Mortgage, a national lender.
Zillow’s online mortgage
hub has also seen a surge in
traffic. “Even though it’s not
that significant a drop in rates,
that pretty small drop has
driven a tremendous uptick
in refinance activity,” Lantz
said.
Mortgage originations totaled $510 billion in the AprilJune quarter, the highest
since 2013 when rates were
last near the current averages, according to the MBA.
Slightly more than half of that
went for loans to buy a home,
the best performance since
the middle of 2007. Refinance
loans of $235 billion was the
highest since the third quarter
of 2013. Refinancing applications slipped 1 percent last
week after spiking 11 percent
and nearly 21 percent the previous two weeks.
The MBA now projects
that the dollar amount of
mortgage originations will
climb nearly 7 percent this
year from 2015.
LOCK IN NOW OR WAIT?
Home loan rates are likely
to remain low this summer,
said Sean Becketti, Freddie
Mac’s chief economist, but
probably not much lower than
they are now.
Most loan officers at New
American Funding have told
borrowers take advantage of
rates now, given that they are
so close to the all-time low,
said Jason Obradovich, executive vice president of capital
markets at the Tustin, California-based mortgage lender.
“Generally we ask them to
lock if they are happy with
the rate and are ready to proceed,” Obradovich said.
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts police officers will
soon have the authority to place into protective custody a
person who’s believed to be in the throes of a drug overdose, even without their consent.
Supporters of the change recently adopted by the Democratic-controlled Legislature and Republican Gov. Charlie
Baker view it as another tool in combatting an opioid addiction scourge that claimed more than 2,500 lives in the last
two years alone.
An individual who is involuntarily placed into protective
custody would not be considered under arrest and must be
brought to a hospital or other medical facility for treatment
as soon as possible. Police would be authorized to use reasonable force to accomplish this, if warranted.
Man charged with murder of woman
WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) — A Worcester man has
pleaded not guilty after being charged with murder in the
death of a woman whose body was found in a burning car
last year.
The Worcester District Attorney’s office says 39-year-old
Donovan Goparian was ordered held without bail following
his arraignment Thursday in Central District Court.
Prosecutors say the victim, 35-year-old Marie Martin of
Webster, was shot to death. Her body was found Nov. 4 in
the burning car on Swan Avenue in Worcester.
Goparian had previously been charged with witness intimidation in connection with the investigation of Martin’s
death.
Lawmakers to approve pay equity bill
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts lawmakers are preparing to take a final vote on a bill aimed at ensuring pay equity
between men and women in the workplace.
Pay variations could still exist under the bill based on factors like seniority or systems that measures earnings based
on production or sales.
The bill also bars employers from asking prospective
workers to provide a salary history, though salary information could be offered voluntarily.
Massachusetts would be the first state to adopt such a provision.
The measure would also let employees discuss their current pay with co-workers without facing repercussions.
2 convicted of misbranding devices
BOSTON (AP) — Two former executives of a California-based medical device company have been convicted in a Massachusetts court of distributing adulterated and misbranded medical devices.
U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz said Wednesday that
47-year-old William Facteau, of Altherton, California,
and 49-year-old Patrick Fabian, of Lake Elmo, Minnesota, were convicted by a jury after a six-week trial of
10 counts of introducing adulterated and misbranded
medical devices into interstate commerce.
Facteau was the chief executive officer and Fabian
the vice president of sales at Acclarent, Inc., based in
Menlo Park.
Amherst settles police conduct lawsuit
AMHERST, Mass. (AP) — The town of Amherst
has agreed to pay $5,500 to settle a lawsuit filed by a
longtime activist with a penchant for legal action who
alleged he was roughed up by officers in 2012.
The Daily Hampshire Gazette reports that Richard
Maximus Strahan’s lawsuit alleged he was the victim
of assault and battery, slander and false arrest during a
November 2012 incident near a pharmacy.
The 64-year-old man says he was beat up by police
officers while being served a trespass notice. He says
he agreed to settle the lawsuit after Amherst police decided to no longer issue trespass notices on behalf of
businesses.
Cooked urine leads to evacuation
AMHERST, Mass. (AP) — The strong smell caused by a
man cooking urine has prompted the evacuation of an apartment building in Massachusetts.
Police responded to the Amherst apartment complex
Wednesday afternoon after the manager found several unmarked glass containers containing liquids in an apartment.
Fire officials say the manager had received a complaint of
a pungent odor.
Assistant Fire Chief Lindsay Stromgren says the smell
came from urine and possibly other chemicals. She says it’s
unclear what the man was trying to produce. He was identified, but hasn’t been criminally charged. A private cleanup
company now has the chemicals.
Search for
Flight 370
suspended
PUTRAJAYA, Malaysia
(AP) — The more than twoyear-long hunt for Malaysia
Airlines Flight 370 will be
suspended once the current
search area in the Indian
Ocean has been completely
scoured, the three countries
conducting the operation
announced Friday, possibly
ending all hopes of solving
aviation’s greatest mystery.
Some families of the lost
plane’s 239 passengers and
crew were angry over the decision to stop what is already
the most expensive search in
aviation history, having cost
180 million Australian dollars ($135 million). Others
continued to hold out hope.
“In the absence of new
evidence, Malaysia, Australia and China have collectively decided to suspend
the search upon completion
of the 120,000-square-kilometer (46,300-square-mile)
search area,” Malaysian
Transport Minister Liow
Tiong Lai said after a meeting with his Australian and
Chinese counterparts.
There are fewer than
10,000 square kilometers
(3,900 square miles) left to
be searched. In a statement
read by Liow, the ministers
acknowledged that “the likelihood of finding the aircraft
is fading.”
The ministers said the
search could be revived, but
only if new evidence emerges.
“Should credible new information emerge which can
be used to identify the specific location of the aircraft,
consideration will be given
in determining next steps,”
their joint statement said.
As Liow and the other two
ministers were addressing
the news conference, representatives of the passengers’
families stood outside the
building holding placards
calling on authorities to keep
trying. “Find the plane, ease
our pain,” read one.
“We don’t want the suspension to be just a way to let everyone calm down and slowly
forget about it,” said Grace
Subathirai Nathan, a Malaysian whose mother, Anne
Daisy, was on the flight. “We
want them to be doing something in the interim to look
for new information.”
Prison time for
guitar attack
FALL RIVER, Mass.
(AP) — A Fall River man
who smashed a guitar over
his girlfriend’s head so hard
that pieces become embedded in her been sentenced
to up to four years in prison.
Casey Miller was also
sentenced Thursday to two
years of probation following
his prison term.
Prosecutors say the couple went out drinking in
February and when they got
home the 34-year-old Miller
became “belligerent and
violent.”
Prosecutors say he started
destroying items in their
apartment, struck the victim
with the guitar, and punched
her in the face.
The woman was taken to
the hospital where she received staples in her head.
Miller’s attorney sought
probation without prison
time, but Bristol District Attorney Thomas Quinn said
time behind bars was appropriate because of the “barbaric” nature of the attack.

Peace and the Pisces Moon Peace and quiet can bring as
much pleasure as the strongest temptations and delights.
However, given the current circumstances, peace and quiet are
hard to come by and will take a concerted effort to obtain —
well worth the planning and work. The Pisces moon suggests
you carve out a tranquil moment then give your all to protect it.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). “Do you know what I mean?” they
ask. You do, but that doesn’t necessarily equate to agreement.
The fact that they want validation from you says something.
You’ve a strong presence now. They want your respect.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). What you did in the past is its own
kind of ghost, haunting you at the oddest times. Just remember that ghosts, having no body, are illusory and able to distort
themselves.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Someone who took a road you
didn’t will give you a glimpse into your parallel life, and you’ll
gain insight as to what it might have been like to live, love
or work in a different direction. You’ll let this inform your next
decision.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). There’s something so great about
doing it your way, even if the results themselves don’t exactly
turn out the way you intended (or even close). It’s just interesting to know what the unadulterated, uncompromised version
is.
KAYAK TRIP — Multi-lingual students from the Athol-Royalston Middle
School and Royalston Community School recently kayaked in the newly protected Eagle Reserve in Royalston. They saw beaver, dragonflies, carnivorous
plants, and an eagle swooping into its nest while being harried by smaller
birds. Submitted photo
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When everyone wants you to show up
somewhere, it’s a testament to your stellar company and their
deep affection for you. It also has something to do with the
way the financial end of these occasions is likely to shake out.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Sometimes you just have to bite
the bullet and blurt out what’s on your mind, but this is not one
of those times. If you feel nervous and wordless on the subject,
wait it out. Nothing needs to be said just yet.
Today In History
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Is “almost” ever enough? “Nearly
there” isn’t there, to be sure, but it’s not nowhere, either. Stand
where you landed for a while and consider your options. This
valiant but failed effort isn’t the last step you’ll take.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Remember when you took the
popular route and were sorely disappointed in the views?
That’s what’s at your creative core today, driving your unusual
and oh-so-satisfying choices.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Just as the bitterness of coffee makes the flavor so compelling, a harsh take on a situation
that’s gotten sickeningly sweet will provide intellectual and comedic interest today.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). What flies for entertainment
on a stage might be considered an overly bold and inappropriate response in real life. You’re good at reading your “room,”
though, and will perform accordingly.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Growth is often associated with
pain, but currently you are in a relatively pleasurable growth
period. Sure, there are moments of uncertainty, and it’s not
the most comfortable process in the world... but it’s not half
bad, either.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Foiled? Go again. Never end the
story with the hero (you) in a position that doesn’t have the
audience (you) cheering. Who’s to say tomorrow’s play won’t
be a game changer? Keep trying.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 23). Straightaway, your solar return
inspires a decision that will shape all that follows. The experience you gain through the rapid-fire exercise of August will put
you in a new position by September. January brings versatile
partnership. It will be lucky to travel with this person or go
into a short-term investment or business situation. Scorpio and
Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 35, 20, 16 and 45.

Today’s Highlight in History:
On July 22, 1916, 10
people were killed when
a suitcase bomb went off
during San Francisco’s Preparedness Day parade, an
event sponsored by the local Chamber of Commerce
in anticipation of America’s
entry into World War I.
Two anti-war labor radicals,
Thomas Mooney and Warren K. Billings, were accused of the bombing and
imprisoned; they were released in 1939 amid doubts
about their guilt.
On this date:
In 1587, an English colony fated to vanish under
mysterious circumstances
was established on Roanoke
Island off North Carolina.
In 1796, Cleveland, Ohio,

Hotel in Jerusalem, killing
91 people.
In 1957, Walter “Fred”
Morrison applied for a patent for a “flying toy” which
became known as the Frisbee.
In 1963, Sonny Liston
knocked out Floyd Patterson in the first round of
their rematch in Las Vegas
to retain the world heavyweight title.
In 1975, the U.S. House
of Representatives joined
the Senate in voting to restore the American citizenship of Confederate Gen.
Robert E. Lee. (President
Gerald R. Ford signed the
measure on August 5.)
In 1986, for the first time
in a half-century, the House
of Representatives impeached a federal official;
Judge Harry E. Claiborne
was later convicted by the
Senate of tax evasion and
bringing disrepute on the
federal courts.
In 1991, police in Milwaukee arrested Jeffrey Dahmer, who later confessed to
murdering 17 men and boys
(Dahmer ended up being
beaten to death by a fellow
prison inmate).
In 1995, Susan Smith was
convicted by a jury in Union,
South Carolina, of first-degree murder for drowning
her two sons. (She was later
sentenced to life in prison,
and will not be eligible for
parole until 2024.)
Ten years ago: Israeli
tanks, bulldozers and armored personnel carriers
knocked down a fence and
barreled over the Lebanese
border as forces seized the
village of Maroun al-Ras
from the Hezbollah guerrilla group.
Five years ago: Anders
Breivik, a self-described
“militant nationalist,” massacred 69 people at a Norwegian island youth retreat
after detonating a bomb
in nearby Oslo that killed
eight others in the nation’s
worst violence since World
War II. A jury in Cleveland
convicted Anthony Sowell
of killing 11 poor, drugaddicted women whose
remains were found in his
home and backyard; Sowell was later sentenced to
death (his case is being appealed). President Barack
Obama formally signed off
on ending the ban on gays
serving openly in the military. Former Democratic
National Chairman Charles
T. Manatt, 75, died in Richmond, Virginia.
One year ago: A Soyuz
space capsule blasted off
for the International Space
Station, docking with the
orbiting outpost nearly six
hours later. Prosecutors in
Colorado urged the death
penalty for Aurora movie theater shooter James
Holmes, saying he deliberately and cruelly killed 12
people (Holmes ended up
being sentenced to life in
prison when the jury could
not unanimously agree on
execution). A federal grand
jury indictment charged
Dylann Roof, the young
man accused of killing nine
black church members in
Charleston, South Carolina,
with 33 counts including
hate crimes that made him
eligible for the death pen-
alty.

NEW YORK (AP) — Roger Ailes built the Fox News
Channel into a ratings juggernaut, one that successfully presented a conservative alternative to mainstream news and
garnered a large new audience
in the Age of Trump.
But you don’t have to look
too far down the road to see
big challenges that have nothing to do with Ailes’ untimely
departure.
While Fox has been the toprated U.S. cable-news channel
for 14 years, overall cable news
audiences have been shrinking
outside of presidential elections. More than half of Fox’s
viewers are over 65, says data
tracker Nielsen, compared to
just 15 percent of Americans
as a whole. They’re also more
conservative than the general
public, at a time when younger
generations are trending more
liberal, according to Pew. And
it’s lagging in the digital efforts that many analysts consider key to attracting young
people.
TV remains the dominant
news source, but smartphoneaddicted younger people are
spending less time with it.
Some 84 percent of 18-to-29year-olds get news from social
media like Facebook, and increasingly on their phones, according to Pew Research Center. Research firm eMarketer
has predicted that digital ad
spending will surpass TV ad
spending in the U.S. next year
for the first time.
“Fox News has been far
more of a TV-centric business
than a web or mobile business, if you compare it even
to CNN,” said BTIG analyst
Rich Greenfield. He pointed
out as one example CNN’s
spot on Snapchat’s Discover
page, which spools up video
and quick-read articles from
media companies. Snapchat,
a messaging app, is a blockbuster hit with young adults
and teenagers.
And even if they were
watching TV, the young people advertisers identify more
as Democrats than Republicans by a 54-30 margin, according to a GenForward poll.

Old lobster spared the pot, will retire
BOOTHBAY HARBOR, Maine (AP) — It’s not
common for senior citizens to move from Florida to
Maine, but Larry the Lobster’s life depends on it.
The decades old, 15-pound lobster has been spared
from the kettles of a Sunrise, Florida, restaurant and
will head to the Maine State Aquarium for retirement.
WPLG-TV reports a rescue group stepped forward
to save the venerable crustacean. It’s estimated to be
between 60 and 110 years old.
Maine Department of Marine Resources spokesman Jeff Nichols says the lobster will be quarantined
to protect other marine life. The aquarium will assess
its health, but has no plans beyond that.
Animal welfare group People For The Ethical
Treatment of Animals is pushing for the lobster to
be released into the wild so it can live out its “golden
years at sea.”
Man on NY’s Most Wanted list caught
LOWELL, Mass. (AP) — A man on New York’s
Most Wanted list who authorities say had been living in Massachusetts for years under an assumed
name has been arrested for allegedly assaulting his
girlfriend.
Jonathan Gonzalez, who was going by the name
Jose Colon in Lowell, was held without bail at his
arraignment Wednesday on charges of being a fugitive from justice, violating a restraining order, failing to register as a sex offender and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
Prosecutors say New York authorities have a warrant for Gonzalez’s arrest for probation violations
on sex abuse and drug convictions.
The alleged victim told The Sun she had no idea
her now ex-boyfriend’s real name was Gonzalez.
Defense attorney Christopher Spring acknowledged Gonzalez’s “history” but noted he suffers
from mental health issues.
Police investigate shooting of sheep
LEOMINSTER, Mass. (AP) — Police are investigating the shooting death of a sheep at a former
landfill in Massachusetts.
The Sentinel & Enterprise reports the Scottish
blackface was found dead Monday afternoon at
Leominster’s former landfill, where sheep from
nearby Kalon Farm graze on grass.
Chief Michael Goldman says the female sheep
was killed by a gunshot wound to the neck.
Sheep from Kalon Farm are placed at the fencedin landfill to help control the grass there.
Keith Kopley, who owns the farm, says employees check on the sheep every three days. He says
the dead sheep was discovered by an employee who
was making sure the herd of about 100 had enough
water.
Mayor Dean Mazzarella says he was “horrified”
to learn of the shooting.
The incident remains under investigation.
Boston duck boat driver cited
BOSTON (AP) — Police say the driver of a duck
boat that struck and injured a woman crossing a
Boston street this month has been cited.
Police initially said after the July 10 crash that the
57-year-old woman walking in the city’s Back Bay
was crossing the street against the signal.
Police Lt. Michael McCarthy tells The Boston
Globe that the 54-year-old driver was issued a citation for failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk.
A lawyer for the woman says although the duck
boat had a green light, his client also had a walk
signal and there is a sign warning vehicles to yield.
A Boston Duck Tours spokeswoman says the
company has not seen the citation and the driver is
on vacation, but they understand it.

do.
Can you advise, please?

Nevada ending discrimination
of prison inmates with HIV
By SCOTT SONNER
Associated Press
RENO, Nev. (AP) — Nevada’s Department of Corrections is changing a series of
policies and practices that the
U.S. Justice Department says
illegally discriminate against
prison inmates with HIV by
housing them separately and
denying access to work assignments that can speed their
release.
The Justice Department
concluded last month the
state was violating inmates’
civil rights under the policies
based largely on outdated and
unfounded fears about the
transmission of the virus that
causes AIDS.
State Corrections Director
James Dzurenda announced
late Wednesday that inmates
with HIV no longer will be
segregated from the general
prison population.
He also said they will be
provided the same opportunities as others to win assignments to work camps where
they can earn credits faster to
shorten their sentences.
Other changes include new
protections intended to keep
inmates’ HIV status confidential, and new training for
inmates and prison workers
alike about how HIV is transmitted.
HIV, the human immunodeficiency virus, causes AIDS.
But it cannot be transmitted
through ordinary activities
such as shaking hands or sharing drinking glasses, according
to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Lawyers for the American
Civil Liberties Union of Nevada who had complained
to the Justice Department
about the policies said they
were impressed with the quick
response by Dzurenda, who
became the new corrections
director in April.
“We are thrilled,” said Amy
Rose, the group’s legal director in Las Vegas. “It appears
they took the recommendations from the Justice Department very seriously and took
immediate corrective action,”
she told The Associated Press.
“This is good news for inmates
who are currently suffering
under the previous policy.”
Dzurenda said he has submitted a bill draft request to
the Nevada Legislature to formalize some of the changes
in state laws and regulations,
and that additional changes
may be forthcoming.
Justice Department lawyers
warned Nevada’s attorney
general in a letter June 20 the
state was violating the Americans with Disabilities Act.
They said some inmates
have been discriminated
against — and in some cases
threatened and harassed — as
a result of the “medically unnecessary” segregation policy
that stigmatizes those with
HIV.
The
federal
agency
launched an ADA compliance review after receiving
complaints from the ACLU
and wo inmates at the High
Desert State Prison in Indian
Springs.
Under the new policies only
limited medical personnel will
have access to the identities
of HIV positive inmates and
that prison housing classification forms are being revised
to eliminate the medical code
typically associated with HIV
status, Dzurenda said.
Therapist says police shot
him with his hands raised
NORTH MIAMI, Fla.
(AP) — A black therapist who
was trying to calm an autistic
man in the middle of the street
says he was shot by police even
though he had his hands in the
air and repeatedly told them
that no one was armed.
The moments before the
shooting were recorded on
cellphone video and show
Charles Kinsey lying on the
ground with his arms raised,
talking to his patient and police throughout the standoff
with officers, who appeared to
have them surrounded.
“As long as I’ve got my
hands up, they’re not going
to shoot me. This is what I’m
thinking. They’re not going to
shoot me,” he told WSVN-TV
from his hospital bed, where
he was recovering from a gunshot wound to his leg. “Wow,
was I wrong.”
The shooting comes amid
weeks of violence involving police. Five officers were
killed in Dallas two weeks ago
and three law enforcement
officers were gunned down
Sunday in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Before those shootings,
a black man, Alton Sterling,
37, was fatally shot during a
scuffle with two white officers
at a convenience store.
In Minnesota, 32-year-old
Philando Castile, who was
also black, was shot to death
during a traffic stop. Cellphone videos captured Sterling’s killing and aftermath of
Castile’s shooting, prompting
nationwide protests over the
treatment of blacks by police.
At a news conference
Thursday, North Miami Police Chief Gary Eugene said
the investigation had been
turned over to the Florida
Department of Law Enforcement and the local state attorney.
He called it a “very sensitive
matter” and promised a transparent investigation, but he refused to identify the officer or
answer reporters’ questions.
Eugene, a Haitian-American
with 30 years of South Florida
police experience, just became
chief last week.
