ORANGE — The Massachusetts Fire Service
Commission on April 19
granted accreditation to
Orange Fire Department
Chief James R. Young Jr.,
who has demonstrated the
required fire service experience, education, and
certifications for accreditation.
The MFSC is a gubernatorial appointed board
that has established a process for uniform credentialing for the level of fire
chief. Everett Fire Chief
David Butler, who serves
as chair of the commission
says, “The program establishes requirements based
on education, training
and experience in areas
relevant to serving as fire
chief. It establishes benchmarks for training in fire
and emergency service
management so that chiefs
may be better prepared to
serve their department
and their community.” The applicant’s documentation is reviewed by
a subcommittee of the
MFSC to determine if the
individual has attained a
minimum level of credits
for education, training,
and experience.
State Fire Marshal Peter

BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker
is pushing legislation aimed
at limiting how much sick
time state workers can save
up.
Baker said in a statement
Wednesday that the goal of
his bill is to avoid exorbitant
payouts to retiring workers
who have used little or no
sick time while employed.
Baker said sick time is a
benefit meant to give workers a way to deal with health
and family issues, not a retirement bonus.
The bill would cap the

CHECK PRESENTED — Dexter Park School presented to the KEVS Foundation a check for $5,000, the fundraising total of last week’s school walk-athon, and the school subsequently received an automated external defibrillator
(AED). The foundation was launched in memory of Kevin J. Major, who died of
sudden cardiac arrest in 2011, and targets SCA in children and young adults.
The four top student fundraisers, who each raised $100, presented the check
along with third grade teacher Johnna Hebert, who pursued an AED unit for
Dexter Park after one was used to save her husband’s life from an episode of
SCA. Left-to-right — Dakota Walker (grade 5); Alivia Melanson (grade 5); Cassidy Boutell (grade 4); Susan Canning, KEVS founder and mother of Kevin Major; Hebert; Robert Watkins (grade 6).

ATHOL — A teacher from
the Athol-Royalston Regional
School District, Beth Gospodarek, is among a group of 72
kindergarten through Grade
12 teachers selected from
around the nation to gather in
Old Deerfield this summer to
study in depth one of the the
pivotal events in early American history — the Feb. 29,

on the frontier outpost village
of Deerfield.
The workshop is titled “Living on the Edge of Empire”

ORANGE — The fundraising exploits of Dexter Park
School students will be applied to help curb instances of
sudden cardiac arrest (SCA),
and the school’s receipt of an
automated external defibrillator (AED) positions trained
personnel to intervene should
the need arise.
Students raised just over
$5,000 in pledges leading up
to the May 16 school-wide
walk-a-thon, held in support
of the KEVS Foundation,
which targets SCA in children
and young adults. At a school
assembly Wednesday, a check
in that amount was presented
to KEVS Foundation founder Susan Canning, who in
turn donated the AED unit.
Canning’s 19-year-old son,
Kevin J. Major, in 2011 suffered a fatal episode of SCA,
brought on by an undiagnosed case of Hypertrophic
Cardiomyopathy (HCM), or
an abnormally large heart
muscle. The KEVS website

The conference committee report sets
new time limits for state agencies and
municipalities to comply with requests for
public records. It also caps the amount
of money that can be charged for these
documents, including copying and labor
costs.
“This marks the first significant updating of the state’s public records law in over
40 years,” said Whipps Lee. “I’m proud to
support these changes, which I believe
will help to promote more openness and
transparency in state and local government. My office has received many calls
and emails regarding access to public records. This was an easy vote to take.”
The bill requires cities, towns and state
agencies to designate a Records Access
Officer (RAO) to oversee all requests
for public documents. RAOs will be required to produce documents within 10
business days, but agencies can extend
this time frame to 15 business days and
municipalities to 25 business days, as long
as they provide the requester with written
notification detailing the specific reasons

(www.deerfield-ma.org).
The workshop is one of 22
highly-competitive National
Endowment for the Humanities Landmarks of American
History and Culture Workshops being offered across the
nation this summer.
The National Endowment
for the Humanities is a federal
agency that each year supports summer study opportunities so teachers can work
with experts in the humanities
discipline at or near sites important to American history
and culture, such as presidential residences or libraries; Colonial-era settlement; major
battlefields; historic districts;
parks and preserves; sites of
key economic, social, political
and Constitutional developments; and places associated
with major writers, artists and
musicians.
The “Living on the Edge of
Empire” workshop is led by
prominent historians of early
American history, Native
American culture and early
African-Americans. Scholars
include Dr. Kevin Sweeney,
Dr. Marge Bruchac, Dr. John
Demos and Dr. Joanne Melish, as well as members of the
Old Deerfield Village Historic
Landmark District Museum
staff.
Each workshop day will include a highly-distinguished
scholar; central questions;
readings; small group sessions; work with material resources; site visits; and classroom integration strategies.
In addition to lectures and
discussions with scholars, the
Orange
tween the ages of 15 and 34
die annually from SCA, with
HCM the leading cause of
death.
To preserve Kevin’s memory, the foundation organizes
free youth heart screenings,
educates on the importance
of CPR and AED training,
and provides resources for
defibrillator programs.
Third grade teacher Johnna Hebert sought to obtain
an AED unit for Dexter Park
after one was used to revive
her husband, who collapsed
of SCA while watching the
couple’s son play ice hockey
at Amelia Park in Westfield.
Following her husband’s discharge from a four-day stay in
the hospital, Hebert learned
that this same AED machine
was the first to be donated
by the KEVS Foundation, as
Kevin had also played hockey
at Amelia Park.
As the recipient of an AED
unit, Dexter Park was urged

activities include field excursions to another museum of
the period and to Peskeomskut, the site of a major battle
in King Philip’s War. Evening
programs will include firstperson presentations, period
food, music and dance.
These workshops include
professional
development
points and $1,200 stipends
to assist with covering the
costs of attending (housing,
meals, transportation, etc.).
Landmark Workshops offer
two sessions. Each weeklong
session is limited to 36 participants. There was a competitive application process
which included close review
of teachers’ qualifications and
their plans to implement what
they will learn in their classrooms.
“We were looking for a diverse group of educators for
our programs,” said Lynne
Manning, Landmark Workshops project director. “We
received teacher applications
from all parts of the country.
Participating teachers will
have an enriching personal
experience as they share perspectives and teaching techniques with their colleagues
from around the nation.”
“Teachers will find many
ways to engage their own
students in American history
by studying the 1704 raid on
Deerfield,” said Tim Neumann, executive director of
the PVMA. “The bucolic New
England town of Deerfield...
of today was, for one brief,
three-hour span in the early
18th century, the main stage
of violent clashing between
European colonial empires,
diverse Native American nations, and personal visions and
ambitions.”
“If one were to find oneself back in time early in the
morning of Feb. 29, 1704, one
would be met by the flicker of
flames and smell of smoke and
gun powder; one’s ears would
be awash in the cacophony of
French, English and Native
American voices mixed with
battle sounds and cries of despair and triumph,” Neumann
added. “French, English, Indians, Africans; men, women,
children; soldiers, ministers,
farmers and traders...how did
each of these people come to
be here on this fateful day?
What motivated their actions?
How would this battle change
their lives and their nations?”
Neumann also noted, “The
1704 attack on the English colonial town of Deerfield...is a
military saga, a family story, a
case study on colonialism — a
multi-cultural glimpse of early
American history. The attack
on Deerfield was an event
rooted in cultural and religious conflicts, personal and
family retribution, genocidal
expansion, trade and kinship
ties. The attack on Deerfield
had a profound legacy which
would influence the English
colonies up to the opening of
the American Revolution, and
continues to influence America to this day.”

to acquaint the school community with SCA in youth,
and encouraged to help sponsor future screenings and
donations, Hebert said. She
said Title I reading teacher
Courtney Imbriglio came up
with the idea to hold a walka-thon.
Principal Chris Dodge
praised the readiness of students to rally behind such
a worthy cause, saying they
“brought energy and compassion to the walk-a-thon,”
and “knew they were doing a
good thing for someone.”
Dodge said his message
to students stressed that, “If
everyone does a little, it will
make a big difference.” Four
students received special
recognition during the check
presentation for raising $100,
and Dodge said individual
classroom totals reached as
high as $500 in several cases.
On the enthusiastic response to the walk-a-thon,
Hebert said, “I had no idea
how well the children actually did, and I was blown
away when I heard the final
count. My husband and I are
so touched by the effort and
support from the students
and families.”
Canning dispelled the commonly held belief that circulatory system disorders are
largely limited to older individuals, telling students that
occurrences of SCA in children, though less frequent,
elevate the importance of
learning and applying emergency preparedness skills.
“We used to think that
heart conditions happened to
folks that were a little bit older; periodically, they do happen to kids,” Canning said.
“That’s why it’s so important
that if you see someone col-
lapse, you know the lifesaving skills,” including how to
call 911, as well as locating a
CPR-trained adult. She encouraged students to pursue
training in CPR when they
reach the appropriate age.
Students also asked questions relating to Kevin’s life
and interests, and were told
he played several sports, and
was particularly passionate about hockey; took part
in theater productions, and
once fulfilled a lifelong dream
of swimming with dolphins.
Dexter Park contributions
to the KEVS Foundation and
last week’s North Quabbin
Food-a-thon have combined
to surpass last year’s charitable donations, Dodge noted
during the assembly.
Dodge said the AED will
be housed in the school,
where it will “hopefully never
be used,” and potentially lent
for use at community events.

S
Sanders fans make noise in O.C.
houts of “Bernie! Bernie!” punctuated Sen. Bernie Sanders’ rally
Sunday at the Irvine Meadows Amphitheater, then again Monday at Lincoln
Park in Los Angeles and the Santa
Monica High School football field.
The “Feel the Bern” movement shifts
today to the Anaheim Convention
Center at 10 a.m., the Riverside Municipal Auditorium at 2 p.m. and the
National Orange Show Events Center
in San Bernardino at 7 p.m.
Democratic rival Hillary Clinton just
isn’t generating this much enthusiasm.
The only other candidate attracting huge crowds is Donald Trump,
who faces no challengers for the Republican Party nomination. His rally
Wednesday at noon at the Anaheim
Convention Center is expected to
draw not only supporters, but protesters like those who disrupted his April
28 Costa Mesa rally, leading to 17 arrests.
Significantly, Sen. Sanders, a selfdescribed democratic socialist, is garnering support not only in California’s
more liberal areas, but also in the more
conservative and Republican precincts
in Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties. His supporters also
remain largely passionate and upbeat,
even though his path to the nomination at July’s Democratic Convention
in Philadelphia is nearly impossible.
Only if he wins big in California on
June 7, then convinces many of the
“superdelegates” already pledged to
Mrs. Clinton to switch, can he hope to
get the nomination.
The Sanders candidacy, as with that
of Mr. Trump, reflects the dominant
theme this election season: Voters
in both parties are restless and want
a major change from the status quo.
With his slogan “A Future to Believe
In” on placards tacked to the front of
his podium and held up by the audience standing behind him at Irvine
Meadows, the Vermont senator exclaimed, “It is true that billionaires
and super PACs are buying elections.
The truth is that if we do not allow the
Donald Trumps of the world to divide
us up, there is nothing that we cannot
accomplish.”
But, as has Mr. Trump, Mr. Sanders
also criticized Mrs. Clinton’s hawkish
foreign policy: “Instead of rebuilding
the infrastructure of Afghanistan, we
are going to build the infrastructure
of our cities.” Certainly, California’s
worst-maintained-in-the-nation roads
and highways could benefit from such
a shift.
“We have a shot to win this thing,
and we are going to fight to win it,”
Mr. Sanders said. That persistence
spells trouble for Democrats trying
to rally the party around Mrs. Clinton, who in recent polls was running
even with Mr. Trump. He, meanwhile,
mostly has quieted the “Never Trump”
movement in the GOP, although much
could change by the Nov. 8 election.
As this primary election season has
starkly revealed, the next president
will confront seemingly insoluble national and international problems
troubling a deeply divided country.

Japan urges G-7 to avert economic crisis
ISE, Japan (AP) — Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo
Abe is urging fellow leaders
of the Group of Seven advanced economies to avert
another global crisis by acting to rescue the faltering
global recovery.
Abe and his counterparts
got down to business Thursday after strolling through
the grounds of Ise (Ee-say)
Shrine, a tranquil, densely
forested landmark that is
considered the holiest site
in Japan’s indigenous Shinto religion, and then joining
a group of children in a tree
planting ceremony.
After the first few sessions
of summit meetings, U.S.
President Barack Obama
backed Abe’s call.
“We’ve all got a lot of
work to do and we agreed to
continue to focus on making sure that each country,
based on its particular needs
and capacities, is taking
steps to accelerate growth,”
Obama said.
He said it was crucial not
just to put people back to
work but also raise wages
and maintain the momentum of the recovery.
During the talks, Abe
compared the current global
economic situation to conditions just before the 2008 financial crisis.
A G-7 summit held in
northern Japan paid little
attention to the trouble that
was brewing, Abe said.
Reporters were shown
charts Abe had on hand to
illustrate the severity of the
recent slump in commodity prices and the economic
slowdown in China.
“We learned a lesson that
we failed to respond properly because we did not have
a firm recognition of the
risks,” Abe told reporters.
“This time, we had a thorough discussion and recognized the major risks facing
the global economy.”
The G-7 gathering dovetails in many ways with
Abe’s long-term diplomatic, political and economic
agenda. A dramatic statement about global economic
risks and a strong show of
support for public spending
to help spur growth could
help Abe justify extra stimulus and possibly provide
political cover for postponing an unpopular but badly
needed increase in Japan’s
sales tax next April.
The leaders were expected to turn their attention
to trade, politics and diplomacy, and to climate change
and energy during talks later Thursday.
Little-known extremist chosen to lead Afghan Taliban
KABUL,
Afghanistan
(AP) — A little-known extremist cleric was chosen
Wednesday to be the new
leader of the Afghan Taliban, just days after a U.S.
drone strike killed his predecessor.
But within
hours of the
Taliban’s
announcement
that
the group’s
council
of
leaders had
Mullah
unanimousHaibatullah
ly selected
Akhundzada
Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada, opposition to him emerged
— a sign that rifts within
the insurgency could widen
and possibly drive the Taliban further from peace talks
with the government of Afghanistan.
The Taliban called on all
Muslims to support Akhundzada as a matter of
religious obligation and declared three days of official
mourning for Mullah Mohammed Akhtar Mansour,
who was slain Saturday by a
U.S. drone in Pakistan.
The announcement came
as a suicide bomber struck a
minibus carrying court em-
ployees in Kabul, killing at
least 11 people, an official
said. The Taliban promptly
claimed responsibility for
the attack.
Afghan government officials took the opportunity
of Akhundzada’s ascension
to again offer direct negotiations aimed at ending the
Taliban’s 15-year insurgency. Both Kabul and Washington considered Mansour
to be an obstacle to the
peace process.
The office of President
Ashraf Ghani said the latest
developments brought the
Taliban “yet another opportunity to end and renounce
violence, lay down their
arms, and resume a normal
and peaceful life.”
Deputy
presidential
spokesman Zafar Hashemi
said if the Taliban decide
against joining the peace
process, “they will face the
fate of their leadership.”
Hours after the Taliban’s
statement on their new leader was made to the media,
the head of a main dissident
faction that broke away last
year to protest Mansour’s
elevation said the group
would not accept Akhundzada either.
The breakaway faction,
led by Mullah Mohammad
Rasool, did not appear to
object so much to Akhundzada as to the closed and
undemocratic manner of
the selection process by the
council, which is believed to
have met in Pakistan. Rasool’s splinter group is based
in western Afghanistan near
the border with Iran, and
has fought fierce battles in
the south with Mansour loyalists.
Rasool’s deputy, Mullah
Abdul Manan Niazi, said
the faction would not accept
Akhundzada’s leadership
for the same reason they
rejected Mansour: He was
elected by a small clique of
Pakistan-based insiders with
little input from the rankand-file or field commanders in Afghanistan.
“For us, the issue with
Mullah Akhtar Mansour
and this Haibatullah is the
same,” Niazi said. “We were
not against Mullah Akhtar
Mansour but the way he
was selected, and yet again
they sit together and choose
one another. ... We will not
accept him as a new leader
until and unless all religious
scholars and tribal elders sit
together and appoint a new
leader.”
Report traces arc of Clinton
server and agency failures
By STEPHEN BRAUN,
JACK GILLUM and CHAD DAY
Associated Press
WASHINGTON
(AP)
— Eight days before Hillary
Clinton took office as secretary of state in January 2009,
an aide to former President
Bill Clinton quietly registered
a new internet address for
the couple. That trivial but
deliberate online purchase
is the earliest known hint of
the private email system that
now plagues the presumptive
Democratic nominee’s presidential campaign.
Buried in a footnote in a
government watchdog’s report released Wednesday, the
reference to the registration of
clintonemail.com was an early
step toward building what became the private homebrew
email system that has attracted an FBI investigation and
raised questions about Clinton’s judgment while serving
as the nation’s top diplomat.
The State Department inspector general’s release of
the 83-page report provides
new insights into the server:
Who knew about it, its vulnerabilities and the bureaucratic
mismanagement that allowed
the secret system to operate outside normal channels
throughout Clinton’s tenure.
The findings — more than
a year in the making — also
show how the use of private
emails by Clinton and other
top aides caused internal
headaches for the few State
Department officials who
knew of its existence and
for an agency that has long
struggled to comply with federal cybersecurity and record-
keeping requirements.
It would take six years after
that simple domain registration in 2009 for Clinton to
publicly acknowledge the existence of her private homebrew server, which The Associated Press first traced back
to her home in Chappaqua,
New York, in March 2015.
Much of what is known about
the system and why she used
it remains clouded by the lack
of documentary evidence and
Clinton’s own reluctance to
discuss the sensitive topic.
Over time, through media
accounts and now details in
the inspector general’s report,
a clearer picture has emerged
of Clinton’s email system and
its use: A basement computer,
running Microsoft server software, directly connected to
the internet to handle communications between Clinton
and her aides. But it is still
not clear how well her system
was secured at the time, especially in light of new hacking
attempts disclosed by the inspector general’s report.
In the first months of Clinton’s tenure, only her most
trusted
political-appointee
aides used or were clued into
the existence of her server, according to the report. Outside
that privileged circle, other senior officials scattered across
the department had “some
awareness” of her use of private emails to communicate
internally — often because
her emails to them originated from a rotating cluster of
private clintonemail.com addresses. Some State Department officials learned as early
as March 2009 that Clinton

Mom objects when kids are
made to pay for roughhousing
DEAR ABBY: We visit
my in-laws two or three
times a year. During our
most recent visit, my kids
(ages 12 and 14) were
roughhousing with their
cousins and accidentally
slammed a door, which resulted in a broken frame.
Their grandpa had asked
them to stop, which they
apparently didn’t do.
Now, three months later, my in-laws are visiting
us, and my mother-in-law
is having the kids pay for
the frame. When I spoke
up and let her know I
thought this was inappropriate, she became
very upset and said, “Kids
these days don’t have any
consequences,” and this is
what she and the kids had
agreed should happen. I
emphasized in front of the
kids how important it is to
listen, to be accountable
for your actions and to see
what they could’ve done
to make it up to her.
I’m just not comfortable
with her still holding onto
this and expecting them
to pay for the frame. It
seems to me that a conversation about respect
and listening is plenty appropriate but, after that,
shouldn’t my mother-inlaw have gracefully let
it go? These kids, by the
way, get excellent school
reports, play instruments
and sports, and are considered by most people to
be great kids.
Was I wrong to express
my opinion that having
the kids pay her is inappropriate? If it wasn’t,
then maybe we shouldn’t
visit at her home, since
it’s filled with breakable
valuables. I am very frustrated by my controlling
mother-in-law. — UPSET
IN MORRO BAY
DEAR UPSET: Your
“great
kids”
ignored
their grandfather when
he asked them to quit
roughhousing, and the result was significant property damage. If they had
agreed with their grandmother that there would
be restitution — I assume the same was true of
their cousins — you were
wrong to interfere. That
you would do this in the
presence of your kids was
a mistake.
I agree with your mother-in-law that one of the
problems in our society today is the lack of accountability or consequences
when people do something
wrong. I applaud her for
sticking to her guns, and
you owe her an apology.

was using a private server in
the basement of her family’s
home.
Clinton declined to be interviewed for the inspector
general report — despite
Clinton saying as recently as
this month that she was happy
to “talk to anybody, anytime”
about the matter and would
encourage her staff to do the
same. Three former senior
aides, Huma Abedin, Cheryl
Mills and Jake Sullivan, also
declined. A fourth former
top aide, Thomas Nides, did
not reply to the inspector
general’s requests. Abedin
and Sullivan are now Clinton
campaign aides and Nides,
currently vice chairman of the
Morgan Stanley financial services firm, is a major Clinton
fundraiser.
In late 2010, two State
Department staff members
raised concerns about Clinton’s private email account in
meetings with John A. Bentel,
then director of the Office of
Information Resources Management, the agency’s computer services unit. Bentel,
who is identified only by title
in the report, also declined to
be interviewed during the inspector general’s review.
In one meeting with Bentel,
a staff member worried that
messages sent or received using the private server could
contain documents that needed to be preserved under federal regulations.
Bentel told the staff member that State Department
legal staff had “reviewed
and approved” the server—
though the inspector general’s
review found no evidence such
a review had ever occurred. In
that meeting and another that
Bentel had with a different
staff member who raised concerns, Bentel directed the staff
members to “never to speak
of the secretary’s personal
email system again.”
Clinton’s campaign has
long insisted her system was
well-protected. The AP reported last year that the server’s security configuration
could have allowed users to
control it remotely, a practice
that computer security experts
widely say is vulnerable to
hackers. And in January 2011,
according to the inspector
general report, a Bill Clinton
aide wrote to Abedin that he
had to shut down the system
because Clinton’s server had
been targeted by outsiders.

Judge clears way for
removal of monument
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP)
— A judge cleared the
way Wednesday for the
removal of a 120-year-old
monument to Confederate
soldiers that sits near the
University of Louisville.
A group of residents and
the Sons of Confederate
Veterans opposed removing the 1895 stone obelisk
and won a temporary restraining order a few days
after Louisville Mayor
Greg Fischer announced
last month that it would be
removed.
Jefferson Circuit Judge
Judith McDonald-Burkman listened on Wednesday to several hours of
testimony from the monument’s supporters, who argued that the city does not
own it and that it could be
damaged or crumble if it is
removed.
Burkman lifted the temporary restraining order
that barred the city from
removing the monument.
She concluded at the end
of the hearing that the
only piece of evidence that
pointed to the ownership
of the statue was a 1954
document in which the city
granted a right of way to
the state for maintenance
of the adjacent roadways.
“The only proof the
court has today of ownership of this monument is
that it belongs to the city,”
Burkman said at the hearing’s end. She also denied
a motion for a temporary
injunction that would have
blocked the removal.
Burkman asked that the
city not take any action
until she issues a written
ruling at a later date.
The hearing included
testimony from former
congressional candidate
Everett Corley and monu-
ment experts who said
they feared the monument
would be damaged when it
is taken down.
Corley testified that he
is a descendant of a Kentucky soldier who fought
in the Civil war and as a
former University of Louisville student, the monument was part of his college experience.
“This monument could
have been here for the
next 200 years and no
harm would have been
done to anyone,” said Corley, who finished second
in the recent Republican
primary for Louisville’s
3rd District congressional
seat.
Jefferson County Attorney Mike O’Connell said
the complaint filed by the
monument’s
supporters
was “false and misleading” because it failed to
back up its claims that it
had historical protections.
“They failed you, they
misled you and it was
all lies,” O’Connell told
Burkman during a closing
statement to the morethan-four-hour hearing.
Mayor
Fischer
and
University of Louisville
President James Ramsey
have pledged to relocate
the monument to “an appropriate historical venue
in the near future.” Until
then, it would be put in
storage.
The statue was gifted to
the city by the Kentucky
Woman’s Monument Association in 1895, according to a release from the
University of Louisville.
It includes three bronze
statues of Confederate
soldiers and an inscription
that says it is a “tribute to
the rank and file of the
armies of the South.”

Derek Porter’s WPI junior year included 8 weeks in Australia
Derek Porter of Athol,
who will soon be back at
Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) to pursue
his studies, joined me for
breakfast at Johnson’s Farm
in Orange recently to talk
about his recent eight-week
trip to Australia.
As part of his junior year
at WPI, one of America’s
most prestigious technical
colleges, Derek traveled to
the land “down under” with
21 classmates to undertake
an Interactive Qualifying
Project (IQP). This opportunity is offered by the
college to help students become “more well-rounded,”
Derek explained. IQP programs, which take place in
many countries around the
globe, are designed to be
“human-based rather than
technically oriented,” he
said. Completion of an IQP
project in the U.S. or abroad
is required to graduate.
His
project
involved
about seven weeks of team
work, with three classmates, under the auspices
of Metropolitan Fire and
Emergency Services Board
(called MFB) of the city of
Melbourne (population 4.3
million). He worked alongside trained firefighters and
human service workers to
review methods of reducing
residential risk. Focusing on
“community resilience and
emergency management,”
the students ended up writing a 110-page report on
coping with various potential dangers, including city
residents who might end up
causing fires because of dementia, hoarding or other
issues.
One of the “coolest experiences,” Derek said, was
staying overnight in a fire
station and traveling on fire
engines, fully suited up to
respond to fires (but only

Coffey, Eva Childers and Julia Bushell.
they used daily to report to
work) and buses. Among the
places they enjoyed were the
88-story high Eureka SkyDeck, St. Kilda beach, the
Great Ocean Road (where
they viewed the Twelve
Apostles up close), and a
war memorial called the
Shrine of Remembrance.
He also learned bouldering,
a kind of rock-climbing, at
the Lactic Factory and the
Burnley Bouldering Wall.
Beyond Melbourne, travel
expenses were out-of-pocket, including airplane trips
to some of the island continent’s tourist attractions
during weekend getaways.
While Derek is proud of
the serious work his group
did, his enjoyment of the
sightseeing was palpable.
They ventured due north
to tropical Cairns, a flight
of more than three hours.
Derek and his companions stayed in a youth hostel and went snorkeling at
the famed Great Barrier
Reef. They also visited the
Cape Tribulation area with
its wilderness and undeveloped rain forest region. It
included some beach time
and a boat ride on a river
with crocodiles visible on
the banks.
Next, the students flew
south to the island of Tasmania, where they hiked
up Mount Wellington, elevation 4,163 feet above sea
level. At the end of their
project work, Derek enjoyed the continent’s largest
city, Sydney, including more
bouldering at a gym called
Nine Degrees.
When Derek came back
to Athol to the home of his
mother, Athol Daily News
editor Deborrah Porter, he
pleased her with some cooking skills he learned while an
apartment dweller in Melbourne. In an email to me,
Deb added, “I was surprised
to come home one day last
week to the washing machine humming and piles of
clean laundry on the couch
– folded, no less. He was a
responsible, mature man

as an observer). He experienced the excitement of
hearing the sounds of an
alarm, suiting up quickly in
full protective gear, sliding
down a pole and getting into
the so-called “fifth seat” at
the rear of the truck. That
night there was one false
alarm and two trash bin
fires, but no major conflagrations.
Derek praised the “incredibly welcoming” attitude of the Australians,
especially his MFB supervisors Julie Harris and Rob
Purcell.
Apartment dwellings were
provided to the students,
compliments of the MFB.
He learned early on that
Melbourne locals call their
city “Mel-bin” not “Melborn.” The students were
provided with free passes
for public transportation including trains, trams (which

Clowns beg City Council not to ban animal shows
PITTSBURGH
(AP)
— A public hearing on a
proposed wild-animal entertainment ban that would
keep circuses and similar
shows out of the city ended
up being a circus of sorts,
complete with clowns who
begged the City Council
not to enact the measure.
Syria Shrine clowns held
signs outside the CityCounty Building that said,
“We love our animals,” and
“Councilman Kraus makes
clowns cry!”
That referred to Democratic Councilman Bruce
Kraus, whose bill was supported by animal rights activists at Tuesday’s public
hearing. Animal Defender
International, based in Los
Angeles, said more than 30
U.S. municipalities have
similar laws.
Supporters of the bill
contend that animals don’t
jump through fiery hoops
because they enjoy it.
“They perform out of
fear of what will happen
to them if they don’t,” said
Brian Bonsteel, founder
of Humane Action Pittsburgh, an animal rights
group that helped draft the
legislation.
City Council President
Darlene Harris said she’ll
vote against the bill and
believes circus animals are
motivated to perform by
the good relationships they
have with their trainers.
“I have never seen any
animal do a trick for a person who abuses and beats
them. Never,” Harris said.
“If I hit my dog, do you
think she would sit up and
roll over and dance for
me?”
The bill is modeled on a
similar San Francisco law
that prohibits the performance of wild or exotic
animals for public entertainment or amusement.
Lions, tigers, bears, camels, elephants, monkeys
and other animals would
be banned from performing at circuses or similar
shows.
The National Aviary,
the Pittsburgh Zoo &
PPG Aquarium and other
educational and humane
groups would be exempt
from the ban, though the
zoo’s leader criticized the
measure.
“None of the speakers
in favor of this ordinance
have any experience or expertise in actually working
with wild exotic animals,”
said Dr. Barbara Baker,
the zoo’s president and
CEO.
this opportunity. I am happier still that he came back
in one piece!”
Derek’s father, Jim Porter, also resides in Athol.
Derek is employed for the
next few months as a maintenance man at the L.S.
Starrett Co., but when the
fall semester starts at WPI,
he’ll return to college life
with his fraternity brothers
at Tau Kappa Epsilon and to
his studies, concentrating on
“propulsion systems” such
as “jet engines and the machinery within them.”
Also, he’ll no doubt be
recounting tales of his Australian adventure for quite
some time.

Bradley, Bogaerts extend hitting
streaks; Sox beat Rockies 10-3
By KYLE HIGHTOWER
AP Sports Writer
BOSTON (AP) — Jackie Bradley Jr. swears he isn’t thinking
about his current hitting streak.
Around Fenway Park, he’d be the
only one.
Bradley had two hits to extend
his major league-best streak to 29
games, Xander Bogaerts homered
to extend his hitting streak to 18
games and the Boston Red Sox
beat the Colorado Rockies 10-3 on
their last seven — all on the road.
After a slow start, the Red Sox
got back into the recent offensive
groove that has propelled them
this season.
Bogaerts led off the fourth with
his home run to get Boston on the
board. Later, Bradley lined Bettis’
first pitch of his at-bat through the
left side of the infield to extend his
streak.
Shaw followed with an RBI single, and Swihart kept things going
HIT STREAK — Boston Red Sox’s Jackie Bradley Jr. during a
baseball game against the Colorado Rockies in Boston, Wednesday. Bradley’s hit streak reached 29 games on Wednesday.

Wednesday night for their fourth
straight win.
Travis Shaw added three RBIs
and Blake Swihart had a pair
of triples as Boston moved to a
season-best 12 games over .500.
The Red Sox have scored eight or
more runs 10 times in their last 14
home games.
“I don’t think about it, until I’m
reminded about it,” said Bradley,
who tied Johnny Damon for the
fourth-longest streak in club history. “If it ends tomorrow, today
— it doesn’t matter. I just want to
continue to keep swinging the bat
well and keep winning.”
Steven Wright (4-4) had another
solid outing, giving up three runs,
two earned. He has now given up
three runs or fewer in eight of his
nine starts.
Chad Bettis (4-3) held the Red
Sox scoreless through three innings but was responsible for seven runs over the next two innings
and was pulled.
“I just thought location got away
from him in the fourth and the
fifth,” manager Walt Weiss said.
The Rockies have lost six of
later with his two-run triple to put
Boston up 4-2. The Red Sox added
three more in the fifth.
“Another strong performance
by our guys,” manager John Farrell said.
The offense helped erase what
was at times a tough night for
catcher Ryan Hanigan trying to
corral the Wright’s knuckleballs.
Hanigan allowed four passed balls,
and Wright had three wild pitches.
A passed ball and wild pitch in
the second inning helped set up an
RBI groundout by Mark Reynolds
that put the Rockies up 1-0.
Hanigan nearly tied it in the
third with an apparent home run
to right field, but a review ruled it
foul. He exited an inning later and
was replaced by Christian Vasquez
due to illness.
Dustin Pedroia was replaced in
the fifth by Marco Hernandez for
precautionary reasons after experiencing right hamstring tightness while running to second on a
double.
Bogaerts got treatment for a cut
to his thumb after tagging a runner
out in the eighth.
Pedroia said he was stretched
after he left and expects to play
Thursday.
“Unless I get benched,” he said.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
Prior to the game, the Red Sox
honored about 30 members for
the 30th anniversary of the 1986
American League Championship team, which came within one
strike of winning the Word Series
that year. Players in attendance
included Wade Boggs, Roger Clemens and Bill Buckner. There was
also a moment of silence for Dave
Henderson, who died in December of a heart attack at age 57. His
widow, Nancy, threw out the first
pitch.
BULLPEN WORK
Weiss said LHP Jorge De La
Rosa, who made his first start after
spending almost a month on the
disabled list with a left groin strain
Tuesday, will head to the bullpen
after struggling in a short outing.
Weiss said LHP Chris Rusin would
take his place in the rotation and
that either he or RHP Eddie Butler would start Saturday or Sunday.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Rockies: Colorado reinstated
RHP Jason Motte from the 15day disabled list (right shoulder
strain) and placed left-handed
pitcher Boone Logan on the 15day disabled list with left shoulder
inflammation, retroactive to May
18.
Red Sox: Farrell said that utility player Brock Holt (seven-day
concussion DL) went through “a
battery of tests” over the past two
days and was scheduled to travel
back to Boston on Wednesday.
He will begin general conditioning
on Thursday. ... Farrell said LHP
Eduardo Rodriguez (right patella
subluxation) came out of his rehab
start at Triple-A Pawtucket “in
pretty good shape.”
UP NEXT
RHP Clay Buchholz (2-4, 5.92
ERA) will make his first career
start against Colorado on Thursday. He is 2-0 with a 2.03 ERA in
three career starts against the NL
West. RHP Jon Gray (1-2, 6.75)
will be making his seventh start
of the season and first career start
against Boston. In his three road
starts this season, he is 0-2 with a
6.06 ERA.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP)
— The New England Patriots
joined the latest “Deflategate”
appeal to support Tom Brady on
Wednesday, taking sides with their
star quarterback in court for the
first time in his fight against the
NFL and Commissioner Roger
Goodell.
In an eight-page friend of the
court brief filed with the 2nd U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals , the Patriots said they “stand to lose their
All-Pro quarterback for 25 percent
of the upcoming regular season
based on a severely flawed process.” They also tried to raise the
stakes in an effort to persuade the
entire circuit to overrule the 2-1
decision that reinstated Brady’s
four-game suspension last month.
“The impact of the majority
opinion is not limited to professional football,” the brief said.
“It threatens to undermine vital
principles governing arbitration of
collective bargaining agreements
throughout the national economy.”
The Patriots have never wavered in their defense of Brady
as he fights the penalty for being
“at least generally aware” of an illegal scheme to deflate footballs.
But having failed to earn his freedom with a public relations blitz or
through backroom dealings within
the league office, the team finally
joined the court case that threatens to stretch into its third NFL
season.
Though not surprising from a
football perspective — after all,
Brady did lead New England to
four Super Bowl titles — the decision by Patriots owner Robert
Kraft to take sides in court against
Goodell is a further step toward
fracturing his once-solid relationship with the commissioner.
Other owners have fought the
league in court — most famously
the Raiders’ Al Davis — but Kraft
had been one of the most reliably
loyal soldiers in the commissioner’s camp. The Patriots have also
maintained a website designed to
point out the flaws in the league’s
case against Brady.
Kerr: Warriors on brink but
ready to rally against OKC
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Steve
Kerr gave his Golden State players
a much-needed mental day off with
time to rest their weary bodies, and
he got back to work trying to figure
out how to save the season against a
powerful Thunder team that shows
no signs of slowing down.
Back to the basics, back to doing
the little things that got the Warriors this far.
After a record 73 wins in the regular season, the Warriors are on the
brink as they go into Game 5 of the
Western Conference finals Thursday night in Oakland trailing the
Thunder 3-1 after a second straight
lopsided loss in Oklahoma City.
No denying it’s a daunting task
for the defending champs — especially given that MVP Stephen Curry is a far cry from being completely
healthy.
“Well, it’s a sense of reality staring us in the face. We’re down 3-1,”
Kerr said Wednesday. “Momentum
can shift quickly in the playoffs.
We’ve seen that the last couple
years. Let’s take care of business at
home, get some momentum back
and we’ve got a chance.”
All season long, the Warriors have
taken the best efforts from every
opponent. The just haven’t shown
the vulnerabilities that appeared
the past two games in Oklahoma
City, where Golden State lost backto-back games for the first time during its record-setting season.
The flight home was hardly fun
following Tuesday’s 118-94 defeat.
“It was not festive. It was quiet,”

Frontier softball earns 7-3 victory over Athol
SOUTH DEERFIELD — The
Athol High School softball team
dropped a 7-3 decision to Frontier
on Wednesday.
A six-run second inning was all
the support Red Hawks’ pitcher
Emma Weslowski needed as she
scattered just three hits while recording three strikeouts on the
day.
Sarah Meunier tallied three hits
and drove in a run to lead Frontier. Kelsey Jarvis added two hits
and an RBI. Athol’s Jessica Soucie was saddled with the loss. She issued seven walks and nine hits on the day,
striking out five.
Kayla Robideau singled and
drove in two in the loss. Brej Geise
and Amber Mahony also hit safely. Shelby Roussel drove in a run.
Athol (7-12) hosts Pioneer on
Friday for a 5 p.m. start.
The Red Hawks won the junior
varsity contest 4-1.
Shelby Mailloux, Haley Bigwood and Hannah Lajoie hit safely for the Raiders. Bigwood racked
up eight strikeouts in the circle.
The NFL declined a request for
comment in response to the filing.
Brady was suspended last May
for four games for what Goodell
said was a scheme to use improperly inflated footballs in that January’s AFC championship game.
New England defeated the Indianapolis Colts 45-7 before going on
to win the Super Bowl.
The suspension was overturned
by a federal judge on the eve of
the 2015 regular season, but a
circuit court panel ruled 2-1 last
month that Goodell acted within
the rights granted to him by the
collective bargaining agreement.
Brady has appealed to the full
2nd Circuit for a re-hearing —
called “en banc” — and the Patriots’ brief was in support of
that appeal. Less than 1 percent
of en banc appeals are granted;
if Brady’s request is rejected, his
only chance of avoiding a suspension would be to appeal to the
U.S. Supreme Court, where the
odds of obtaining a hearing are
even slimmer.
The Patriots also were penalized
by Goodell: a $1 million fine and
the loss of two draft picks. At the
time, Kraft accepted the punishment, saying he was just one member of a group and had to consider
what was best for the league.
But Kraft’s attitude soured
when Goodell, hearing Brady’s
appeal personally, refused to reduce the quarterback’s penalty. A
federal judge vacated the suspension, but he was overruled by the
2nd Circuit panel.
The document filed Wednesday repeated that the Patriots
“strongly believe” nobody tampered with footballs during the
AFC title game. The team said the
2nd Circuit panel “endorsed the
outcome of a highly manipulated
and fundamentally unfair process
designed and used by the Commissioner to reach and justify a
predetermined outcome.”
“It renders meaningless the
vital protections afforded by a
bargained-for right to appeal and
to obtain and present pertinent
evidence,” the team argued. “Its
impacts will be felt far beyond the
NFL.”
BUCKLAND — The Mahar
softball team ended its season
with a 16-4 loss to Mohawk on
Wednesday. The Senators (6-14) were leading 4-2 in this contest before the
Warriors erupted for a 10-run bottom of the second. Hope Lively
had three hits and a pair of RBI in
the win. Ashley Walker and Alicia
Johnston added two hits and three
RBI each. Briana Benz and Ashley Reynolds had two RBI apiece
for the victors.
Lani deDiego and Hannah Britt
led the Mahar offense with two
hits each. Hannah Paul, Alexis
McClure, Sophie Smith and Joslyn
O’Brien had one RBI each.
Emily Page struck out four and
walked three in the five-inning
game. Smith walked three in four
innings for Mahar.
Kerr said.
The Warriors shot 41 percent and
committed 21 turnovers that led
to 18 Thunder points. Curry was
6 for 20 and missed eight of his 10
3-point attempts to score 19 points,
sparking further talk that he’s far
from full strength. The unanimous
MVP has dealt with ankle, knee
and elbow injuries this postseason
alone.
Kerr isn’t about to put a percentage on his superstar’s health.
“I don’t do that. If he were struggling with anything, I would know,”
Kerr said. “Nobody has said anything about Steph being 70 percent
to me. Our training staff, relatives,
friends, sources with knowledge of
our team’s thinking, nobody has
told me he’s 70 percent.”
Golden State will likely need a big
night from Curry to get back in this.
Only nine teams in NBA history
have rallied from being down 3-1
to win a postseason series, yet Kerr
was quick to note, “I’m guessing
most of them weren’t the defending
champs.”
With the season on the line, firstyear Oklahoma City coach Billy
Donovan expects the Warriors to
bring their best while back in front
of their home fans.
“Again, we have great respect for
Golden State. We know how good
of a team they are. You’ve got to get
to a place after each game — what
happened in the game, what do we
need to get better, what do we do
well, what are some changes or adjustments we need to make — and
then you’ve got to move into the
next one,” Donovan said.

LeBron, Love power Cavaliers
to 116-78 romp over Raptors
By TOM WITHERS
AP Sports Writer
CLEVELAND (AP) —
Back home, the Cavaliers
were not hospitable. Just
rude.
They roughed up the visiting Raptors again.
LeBron James scored 23
points then sat the fourth
quarter, Kevin Love scored
25, and Cleveland unleashed
tenacious defense on Toronto
to regain control of the Eastern Conference finals with a
116-78 rout of the Raptors in
Game 5 on Wednesday night.
On their court in front of
20,000-plus screaming, towelwaving fans following two
straight losses in Canada, the
Cavs opened a 34-point lead
in the first half, pushed it to
43 in the second half and took
a 3-2 series lead.
They can clinch their second straight conference title
and trip to the NBA Finals
with a win in Game 6 on Friday night in Toronto.
“We gotta come out from
the beginning and that starts
with the Big 3,” James said,
referring to himself, Love
and Kyrie Irving, who added
23 points. “We’ll be much
better.”
It’s hard to imagine the
Cavs being more in sync.
They clicked at both ends in
Game 5, handing the Raptors a beating that could linger into the offseason. After
coming in with momentum
and confidence, Toronto’s
players left Quicken Loans
Arena shaken and one loss
from having their deepest
playoff run stopped.
“They kicked our butts,
bottom line,” Raptors coach
Dwane Casey said. “That’s
been all three ballgames.”
James had eight assists
and six rebounds in 31 minutes before checking out late
in the third quarter with the
Cavs up 37. He spent the
fourth quarter resting on the
bench while Cleveland’s re-
serves finished the romp.
At halftime, James, Irving
and Love had outscored the
Raptors 43-34. Cleveland has
won its three games in the series by a combined 88 points,
and won its last four over Toronto at home by 110.
“They are a different
team here,” Casey said. “We
came in here with a chance
to do something special and
we didn’t get it done. They
pushed us around and took
what they wanted.”
DeMar DeRozan scored
14 and Kyle Lowry 13 for
the Raptors, who were overwhelmed from the start. Bismack Biyombo had just four
rebounds after getting 40 the
past two games. The only
positive for Toronto was center Jonas Valanciunas, who
returned after missing eight
straight games with a sprained
right ankle. He scored nine
points in 18 minutes.
Playing defense as if every
possession was the game’s
last, Cleveland held Toronto
to 34 points in the opening
half while building a 31-point
halftime lead — the largest
in conference finals history.
Since their expansion arrival
in 1993, the Raptors had never been down by 30 before in
any game — regular or postseason — at halftime but they
have rarely seen a defense
like this either.
The Cavs were all over the
court, swarming and stifling
DeRozan and Lowry, who
combined for 67 points in
Game 4.
A courtside doctor might
have stopped this one in the
first half.
Love found his shooting
touch after it went missing
during the lost weekend in
Toronto, where he went just 5
of 23 and was benched for the
fourth quarter of Game 4. He
finished 8 of 10 from the field,
a confidence-boosting performance that should temporarily quiet his critics.

minutes into the game to set
the tone and Marleau had
two assists in the third period
that set off chants of “We
Want The Cup! We Want
The Cup!”
“We’re just enjoying the
ride right now,” Marleau
said. “We’ve had some really
good teams over the years.”
Despite making the playoffs 16 times in 18 seasons
and winning the second-most
games in the NHL since the
start of the 2003-04 season,
the Sharks have been known
for their soul-crushing playoff disappointments.
They won just three games
in three previous trips to
the conference final, were
knocked out twice in four
seasons by a No. 8 seed and
most notably blew a 3-0 series lead to lose in the first
round to Los Angeles in
2014.
The impact of that loss
lasted for a while as San
Jose missed the playoffs entirely last season. But led by
first-year coach Peter DeBoer and bolstered by some
key acquisitions by general
manager Doug Wilson, the
Sharks recovered this year
and are now only four wins
from a championship.
Game 1 of the Stanley
Cup final will be Monday
night. The Sharks will either host Tampa Bay or visit
Pittsburgh, depending on
which team wins Game 7 of
the Eastern Conference final
Thursday night.
“It’s a great moment for
those guys who have put
in a lot of work but we still
have another series to go,”
Couture said. “We still have
four more wins to try to get.
It’s another step. This is the
third one now. We’re ready
for that next challenge.”
With the loss, the Blues’
postseason woes continue
as the franchise still seeks its
first championship and first
trip to the Cup final since
1970. Coach Ken Hitchcock’s second goalie change
of the series did not work as
Brian Elliott allowed four
goals on 26 shots in his return to the net.
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) —
Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau and the rest of the San
Jose Sharks gathered around
the Campbell Bowl for a celebratory picture after winning the Western Conference final.
In that moment, all those
past playoff disappointments
and collapses were forgotten.
It will take four more wins to
put to rest those questions
about if they had the fortitude to win it all.
Captain Joe Pavelski
scored an early goal, Joel
Ward added two more and
the Sharks advanced to their
first Stanley Cup final in
franchise history by beating
the St. Louis Blues 5-2 on
Wednesday night in Game 6
of the Western Conference
final.
“It’s a pretty cool feeling,” Thornton said. “Obviously it’s our first time. It
was pretty neat to get this
done at home. The fans here
have waited so long, 25 years.
We’ve waited 18 years or so.
So it’s a great feeling.”
Joonas Donskoi also
scored, Logan Couture had
an empty-netter and Martin Jones made 24 saves as
a Sharks team notorious for
postseason letdowns will
play for the championship

MLB: Cubs edge Cardinals for 9-8 win
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jake
Arrieta remained unbeaten
on the season despite allowing as many as four runs for
the first time in nearly a year
and the Chicago Cubs beat
the St. Louis Cardinals 9-8 on
Wednesday.
Arrieta (9-0) joined the
White Sox’s Chris Sale as the
only nine-game winners in the
majors.
Arrieta allowed four runs in
a regular-season game for the
first time since June 16, 2015.
He became the first Cub
to win his first nine decisions
since Kenny Holtzman in
1967 and it is the best start
to a season for the franchise
since Jim McCormick went
16-0 in 1886.
Kris Bryant hit a three-run
homer and Jason Heyward
and Ben Zobrist each drove
in two for the Cubs.

NEW YORK (AP) — Russell Martin hit his first two
home runs of the season,
Michael Saunders also went
deep and Toronto finally
broke out its big bats, halting
New York’s six-game winning
streak.
Marco Estrada (2-2) took
a two-hitter into the seventh
inning and the last-place Blue
Jays won for the fourth time
in six games following an 0-5
slide.
Ivan Nova (3-2) threw well
again but lost for the first time
in four starts since moving
from the bullpen to the rotation.
ASTROS 4, ORIOLES 3
HOUSTON (AP) — Evan
Gattis hit a two-run homer
and Luis Valbuena had a tiebreaking solo shot in the sixth
inning that gave Houston a
win.
Baltimore tied the score
3-3 with a two-run sixth, and
Valbuena homered for the
second straight day with an
opposite-field drive, two-out
to left-center field off Tyler
Wilson (2-3).
Houston starter Collin
McHugh yielded three runs
and eight hits while fanning
a season-high 10 in 5 1/3 innings.

WASHINGTON (AP) —
Steven Matz pitched a career-
high eight innings to win his
seventh consecutive start for
the New York Mets.
Matz (7-1) has a 1.13 ERA
over his winning streak, not
allowing a run in four of those
starts.
David Wright hit his sixth
homer of the season in the
first and Rene Rivera singled
in a run in the seventh to help
New York take the decider of
a three-game set.
DODGERS 3, REDS 1
LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Joc Pederson hit a go-ahead,
two-run single with two outs
in the fourth inning and Scott
Kazmir struck out 12, lifting
Los Angeles over Cincinnati
to complete a three-game
sweep.
The Dodgers have won
four in a row overall and nine
straight against the Reds, who
extended their season-high
skid to 10 games.
Kazmir (4-3) allowed one
run and four hits in six innings. He struck out 12 for
the third time in his career
and first since Sept. 6, 2012,
against the Mets, and walked
two.
Kenley Janson retired the
side in the ninth for his 14th
save in 16 chances after blowing his previous two opportunities.
PIRATES 5, DIAMONDBACKS 4
PITTSBURGH
(AP)
— David Freese hit a long
two-run home run to cap a
four-run fifth inning, Sean
Rodriguez also homered and
Pittsburgh rallied.
Freese hit a 451-foot blast
into the Pirates’ bullpen in
center field off Rubby De La
Rosa (4-5) to put the Pirates
ahead 5-4. They trailed 4-1
coming into the fifth but then
Gregory Polanco hit an RBI
double and Starling Marte
drove in a run with a groundout.

Boy brings pellet gun to school
BROCKTON, Mass. (AP) — A 10-year-old Brockton
boy is facing criminal charges after police say he brought a
loaded pellet gun to school and pointed it at another student.
The Enterprise reports that the boy was charged Monday
with carrying a dangerous weapon on school grounds and assault with a dangerous weapon.
Investigators say he told them he borrowed the pellet gun
from a friend because he wanted to look cool. Police say
when another student at Davis Elementary School called the
boy a curse word on May 4 he pointed the gun at him but
didn’t fire it.
The gun was seized and authorities initially didn’t file
charges because he was punished by the school. The boy was
later charged because the dispute between the students continued.

Azerbaijan frees journalist
BAKU, Azerbaijan (AP)
— A prominent, awardwinning Azerbaijani journalist was released on probation Wednesday following
a storm of international
protests about her imprisonment, which has been widely
seen as an attempt to silence
a critical voice.
Khadija Ismayilova has
been praised by human
rights and free-speech organizations around the world,
who call her conviction and
her 7 ½-year prison sentence
retribution for her reports
on alleged corruption involving President Ilham Aliyev
and his family in the oil-rich
former Soviet republic.
She vowed to continue her
investigative reporting and
to seek a full acquittal as she
walked free Wednesday.

LANCASTER, Pa. (AP) — Officials at a county jail in
Pennsylvania say they mistakenly kept an inmate locked up
17 months too long.
The Lancaster County commissioners tell LNP the inmate
doesn’t want to be identified. But they say the inmate was
supposed to be released in November 2014, but wasn’t released until last month.
The commissioners didn’t immediately make clear when
or how the error was discovered, but officials say they know
how it happened.
Officials say new charges against another inmate with the
same name were mistakenly duplicated and put in both inmates’ files.
Warden Cheryl Steberger issued a statement saying officials wanted to publicly acknowledge the mistake and apologize.
The jail is making changes including reviewing the records
of all inmates with the same last name.
2 charged with sex trafficking
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Two Boston men are facing federal charges of trafficking a minor for prostitution
in Rhode Island, after another man told police that one of
them was trying to extort him for having sex with the girl.
The U.S. attorney’s office in Providence says 25-year-old
Kedwin Vargas and 30-year-old Rene Anthony Laureano,
both of Roxbury, have been ordered detained.
Their lawyers did not immediately return emails seeking
comment.
According to an FBI agent’s affidavit, a cooperating witness who lives in Rhode Island and Massachusetts reported
in March that someone was trying to extort him.
Authorities say their investigation showed that man was
Vargas, and that he and Laureano were trafficking the girl.
The girl told investigators she was under 17 when she had
sex with the man.
NOAA loses $450K camera
NEW BEDFORD, Mass. (AP) — Researchers on a vessel chartered by the federal government have lost a $450,000
underwater camera, delaying surveys important to the scallop industry.
A spokeswoman for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says the vessel was conducting scallop surveys about 75 miles southeast of Delaware Bay when
it lost the equipment.
She says a cable towing the camera likely got snagged on a
shipwreck in the area.
The Standard Times reports the cost of building a replacement camera would be about the same as the camera’s value.
The surveys affect catch limits for scallops, which brought
in more than $400 million in 2014. Catch limits help determine the availability and price of the mollusks.
NOAA says it will likely be able to complete most of the
surveys.
Club elects 1st female president
BOSTON (AP) — The 108-year-old Harvard Club of
Boston has elected its first female president, and she says
her election is the beginning of many changes for the alumni
group.
Karen Van Winkle was elected Monday. She tells The
Boston Globe her priority during her three-year term is to
make the club more welcoming to women and families. That
includes upgrading the women’s locker room, designing kidfriendly programs and maybe even offering child care.
About three-quarters of the club’s roughly 5,000 members
are men, yet half the university’s students are women.
The 58-year-old Van Winkle also wants to offer membership to more non-Harvard alumni. The club accepts anyone
with a Harvard degree and offers associate memberships to
graduates of some other colleges.
Annual dues for the club are as high as $2,700.http://www.

Boston woman denies killing toddler
BOSTON (AP) — A Boston woman charged with beating her 3-year-old stepson so severely that he died days later
has been held without bail.
Maria Buie (BYOO’-ee) pleaded not guilty Wednesday
in Suffolk Superior Court to second-degree murder in the
death of Kenai Whyte.
Prosecutors say the 23-year-old Buie was the boy’s sole
caregiver when he was found unresponsive in his home in the
city’s Roxbury neighborhood the night of Jan. 31. He died of
his injuries on Feb. 2. Prosecutors say he suffered a fractured
vertebra, retinal bleeding, bruising, scratches and a laceration to his penis.
An autopsy concluded he died from blunt force trauma to
the head and neck.

Swedish court upholds arrest
warrant for Julian Assange
HELSINKI (AP) — A
Swedish court on Wednesday rejected a request to
overturn the arrest warrant
of WikiLeaks founder Julian
Assange because there were
no new circumstances to consider.
The Stockholm District
Court said it made the decision because Assange is still
wanted for questioning in a
case of suspected rape and
that “there is still a risk that he
will depart or in some other
way evade prosecution or penalty.”
The court said it saw no
reason to hold another detention hearing saying he would
remain “detained in absentia.”
Thomas Olsson, Assange’s
lawyer in Sweden, says he
would appeal the decision
because “the passivity of the
prosecutor had delayed the
investigation in an unacceptable” way.
“The prosecutor ought to
have arranged for an interview
with Mr. Assange at a far earlier stage and she hasn’t presented any reasons for not arranging an interview,” he told
The Associated Press.
Assange, who has been
holed up in the Ecuadorean
Embassy in London since
2012, is wanted for questioning
by Swedish police over rape allegations stemming from his
visit to the country in 2010.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Instead of going where the people
look, talk and think like you, diversify! The problem that’s been
baffling you will be easy for someone else to solve.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your team will get you at your best.
Your high energy will be vital to the success of a group. Your best
trick for keeping yourself up isn’t a trick at all: You start when
you’re wide-awake, and you quit before you get tired.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Let go of some of the finer details,
because they are holding you back from maximum production.
Sometimes it’s done when it’s done, but most times it’s done when
the time’s up.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Anything keeping you from your goal could
be called an “enemy.” Love your “enemy” by figuring out what
makes it work as an obstacle and then disabling that capability.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your body knows what your mind

Asian stocks are mixed amid
concerns oil rally unsustainable
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Asian stock
markets were mixed Thursday amid worries about a U.S.
rate hike and that a rally in oil
Today In History
In 1941, the American
Flag House, where Betsy
Ross once lived, was donated to the city of Philadelphia.
In
1954,
explosions
rocked the aircraft carrier USS Bennington off
Rhode Island, killing 103
sailors. (The initial blast
was blamed on leaking catapult fluid ignited by the
flames of a jet.)
In 1960, U.N. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge
accused the Soviets during
a meeting of the Security
Council of hiding a microphone inside a wood carving of the Great Seal of
the United States that had
been presented to the U.S.
Embassy in Moscow.
In 1969, the Apollo 10
astronauts returned to
Earth after a successful
eight-day dress rehearsal
for the first manned moon
landing.
In 1971, Don McLean
recorded his song “American Pie” at The Record
Plant in New York City (it
was released the following
November by United Artists Records).
In 1972, President Richard M. Nixon and Soviet
leader Leonid Brezhnev
signed the Anti-Ballistic
Missile Treaty in Moscow.
(The U.S. withdrew from
the treaty in 2002.)
In 1981, 14 people were
killed when a Marine jet
crashed onto the flight
deck of the aircraft carrier
USS Nimitz off Florida.
In 1991, a Lauda Air
Boeing 767 crashed in
Thailand, killing all 223
people aboard.
Ten years ago: Air Force
Gen. Michael Hayden won
confirmation to be the
20th CIA director in a 7815 Senate vote.
Five years ago: Congress passed a four-year
extension of post-Sept. 11
powers contained in the
Patriot Act to search records and conduct roving
wiretaps in pursuit of terrorists; President Barack
Obama, in France, signed
the measure using an autopen machine minutes
before the provisions were
set to expire at midnight.
Ratko Mladic, the brutal
Bosnian Serb general suspected of leading the massacre of 8,000 Muslim men
and boys, was arrested
after a 16-year manhunt.
(Mladic was extradited to
face trial in The Hague,
Netherlands.)
One year ago: Challenging Hillary Rodham Clinton from the left, Vermont
Sen. Bernie Sanders formally kicked off his Democratic presidential bid in
3821
Burlington, Vermont, with
a pitch to liberals to join
him in a “political revolution” to transform the nation’s economy and politics.

prices may not be sustainable.
KEEPING SCORE: Japan’s Nikkei 225 index was up
0.3 percent to 16,811.88, but
China’s Shanghai Composite
lost 0.8 percent to 2,791.52,
and Hong Kong’s Hang
Seng index fell 0.4 percent to
20,285.90. Australia’s S& P/
ASX 200 dipped 0.2 percent
to 5,363.60. Stocks in Taiwan
and South Korea were also
down.
OIL RALLY: Benchmark
U.S. crude rose another 1.9
percent to $49.56 a barrel in
New York after the U.S. government reported a largerthan-expected drop in fuel
stockpiles last week. Oil prices
have surged sharply since earlier this year, sparking fears
prices may not be sustained.
It also raised anticipation of
a hike in U.S. interest rates as
the Federal Reserve has said
it wants to keep raising rates if
the economy is strong enough.
ANALYST’S
QUOTE:
“The remarkable over 80 percent rally in oil since earlier
this year may have been overdone, as the underlying macro
conditions have not change
proportionally. This suggested that speculative trades
have driven up the price these
months, and may not be sustainable,” said Bernard Aw, a
market analyst with IG in Singapore.

Moments from the National Spelling Bee
OXON HILL, Md. (AP)
— The 284 kids competing in this year’s Scripps
National Spelling Bee got
their first opportunity to approach the microphone on
Wednesday — and to hear
the dreaded bell that signals
an incorrect spelling. At the
end of Wednesday’s onstage
rounds, the field was cut to
45 spellers for Thursday’s
finals.
Here are some highlights from the preliminary
rounds, which featured
more difficult words than
in past years — a trend that
will continue into the finals.
Scripps changed the rules to
make the bee more difficult
after the competition ended in a tie for two straight
years.
———
BATTING LEADOFF
Speller No. 1 this year
was Erin Howard, which
meant all eyes — and extra pressure — were on her
when the bee began. Scripps
showed it meant business
by launching the bee with
“abecedarius,” which she
got right. She also spelled
“tulipomania” correctly to
open the second onstage
round.
Erin, 11, knew there was
a chance she’d be batting
leadoff because she’s from
Huntsville, Alabama, and
the spellers are organized in
alphabetical order by state.
“I was hoping they would
mess up and put Alaska
first,” Erin said. “But no!
Had to do it right!”
She didn’t have time to
settle her nerves before she
was asked to approach the
microphone.
“It’s kind of abrupt,” said
Erin, who was among the
finalists. “Oh, it’s my turn!
OK!”
———
YOUNGEST SPELLER
Six-year-old Akash Vukoti
of San Angelo, Texas, was 1
½ when his uncle asked him
to spell the word “spoon”
during a trip to his parents’
native India. He got it right.
A year later, his parents
drove six hours from Cleveland to northern Virginia so
he could compete in his first
spelling bee — while still in
diapers.
On Wednesday, Akash
bounded up to the National Spelling Bee stage and
reached well above his head
to try to bend down the microphone. At one point, he
tried to unscrew it.
His word was “inviscate,”
and when it became clear
the kid would get it right,
a wry smile broke across
the face of veteran speller
Jairam Hathwar, sitting
nearby. Akash briefly put
his hands over his ears when
the crowd broke out into applause.
In the afternoon, Akash
got a standing ovation after
he was eliminated on “bacteriolytic,” which he missed
by a single letter.
Akash, who has also
appeared on “Little Big
Shots” with Steve Harvey
and dreams of becoming an
actor, said he knew every
word during the first onstage round.
“All of those words came
from the list that everybody
studied,” he said.
His other passion: corporate logos.
“You can show me any
logo and I can tell you what
company it is,” Akash said.
Akash’s mother, Kala
Vukoti, a former engineer,
home-schools him. His father, Krishna, is a pharmacist.
“He needs to be homeschooled,” Krishna said.
“He’s very advanced. He’s
like five, six, seven grades
higher” than his peers.
———
AFRICA’S HOPE
Spellers from Ghana, Jamaica, and South Korea
were among the 45 finalists. The last international
winner of the bee was JodyAnne Maxwell of Jamaica in
1998.
While Jamaica has produced dozens of strong
spellers, the performance
of Afua Ansah of Ghana
caught observers by surprise. She had the secondhighest score on the written
test, missing a perfect score
by just one point.
“It was easier than I
thought,” said Afua, 14.
While many spellers say
the pressure is off once they
make it to the final day of
the bee, Afua said she’s under more stress now. Her
goal is to make the top 10.
“A heavy weight on my
shoulders,” she said. “I want
to prove that I can actually
make it.”
Afua isn’t sure what career she wants to pursue
— neurosurgeon, lawyer
and accountant are all possibilities. The only African
speller in the bee, she wore
a jacket with a kente pattern as a symbol of national
pride.
The best part of the bee,
she said, has been bonding
with her spellers, “and to be
able to share our anxieties.”
———
I
MUST
HAVE
SPELLED A THOUSAND
TIMES
For years, spellers have
come up with clever greetings for pronouncer Jacques
Bailly. This year, the goal
for many was to stump him
by saying hello in a foreign
language he didn’t know.
But 10-year-old J.J. Chen
of Bethesda, Maryland,
took Adele as his inspiration for the drollest greeting
of the day.
“Hello,” J.J. said.
“Hello,” Bailly said.
“It’s me,” J.J. deadpanned.
Later, J.J. said he came
up with the idea when he
was bored onstage waiting
for his turn to spell. The
first round was dull, he said,
because he’d memorized all
the words on the list.
“In the morning, I counted the number of times I
clapped,” he said. “This
afternoon, since they were
surprise words, it was more
interesting.”
J.J.’s parents, James and
Yuesha Chen, said their son
showed a gift for language
at an early age and could
spell “transportation” at
age 3.
“At daycare, (when) his
friends had trouble reading
things, they went to J.J.,”
James said.
J.J. made the finals, the
youngest speller to do so.
———
DING! DING! DING!
Last year, only four spellers got words wrong during the first onstage round.
The words used during that
round came from a list that
spellers were able to study
for months while preparing
for their regional bees.
This year, spellers only
got the opening-round list
about 50 days in advance,
and the bell rang for 33
spellers. Among the words
that were misspelled: chanoyu, scarlatina, tilleul,
preterition, quadrumanous
and octateuch.
“This year, we upped
the challenge,” said Paige
Kimble, the bee’s executive
director.
In the afternoon, it got
even tougher. The bell rang
for 80 spellers. But as Kimble predicted, many of the
words sounded easier to the
adults in the audience. The
afternoon round illustrated the difference between
spellers who memorize
words and those who have
a deeper understanding of
roots and language patterns.
“costly and divisive ballot initiative.”
Backers of the ballot question say it aims to remedy the
state’s hospital pricing system, which they say unfairly provides excessive payments to a few wealthy academic medical centers while driving down wages and increasing costs at
community hospitals.
The proposal must be approved by lawmakers and signed
by Baker.
Shipwreck uncovered in Boston
BOSTON (AP) — A shipwreck from 1800s has been uncovered during construction in the city’s Seaport District.
City archaeologist Joe Bagley told WBZ-TV (http://cbsloc.
al/1WTYkrj) it’s the first time a shipwreck has been found in
this section of Boston.
Bagley says it appears the vessel was carrying lime, which
was used for masonry and construction. It also appears to be
partially burnt.
The ship was uncovered last week during construction of a
building on Seaport Boulevard.
The construction company, Skanska, is meeting with city
officials to discuss the discovery. Several archaeologists are
inspecting the site.
Lawsuit: Cubans
should stay in US
MIAMI (AP) — A group
of migrants who fled Cuba
in a homemade boat and
climbed onto a lighthouse
off the Florida Keys want
to be allowed to stay in the
United States.
Under the “wet foot, dry
foot” policy, Cubans who
reach U.S. territory are
generally allowed to remain in this country, while
those intercepted at sea
usually go back.
The question put to a
federal judge in Miami
is whether the American
Shoal lighthouse counts
as U.S. territory, even
though it is about seven
miles from dry land.
There’s some precedent
here: In 2006, a judge
ruled that part of the old
Seven Mile Bridge in
the Keys qualifies, even
though it is no longer connected to land.
The 21 migrants remain
aboard a Coast Guard cutter.
Clergy members detained after protest DOD opening
BOSTON (AP) — Officials say about 14 religious leaders representing several different faiths were arrested while
protesting a forthcoming gas pipeline in Boston’s West Roxbury neighborhood.
The Boston Globe reports the protesting clergy members
were taken into custody Wednesday for blocking construction on the West Roxbury Lateral pipeline on Grove Street.
Demonstration organizer Anne Bancroft says she and her
fellow religious leaders were arrested for singing songs and
praying while they sat on the ledge of a hole set to house the
16-inch steel pipe.
Among those arrested include clergy from the Christian,
Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu and Unitarian Universalism faiths.
Bancroft says she and the other protesters weren’t formally booked, but they’ll receive a court summons in the
mail.
UMass to divest from fossil fuel holdings
BOSTON (AP) — The University of Massachusetts system says it will eliminate direct investments in fossil fuels
from its endowment.
A board that oversees the $770 million endowment voted
unanimously in support of the decision on Wednesday, a
month after students called for divestment during protests
at the Amherst campus.
UMass President Marty Meehan said in a statement that
the change reflects the university’s commitment to take on
environmental challenges.
The system already agreed to cut direct investments in
coal last year in response to a petition from a student group.
Direct holdings refer to investments made directly by the
endowment’s managers, rather than by hedge funds or other
pooled funds where universities often invest.
The decision makes UMass one of the first public universities in the U.S. to divest from fossil fuels.
new office in
Cambridge
BOSTON (AP) — The Department of Defense is hoping
to tap into the East Coast’s
cutting-edge technology by
opening a new office in Cambridge.
Defense Secretary Ash
Carter said in a statement
Tuesday the new office will
create a hub for collaboration
between the Defense Department and innovative companies to identify and develop
pioneering technologies and
business practices.
Carter says the office,
known as a Defense Innovation Unit Experimental, or
DIUx, will complement the
work of a similar unit established last summer in Silicon
Valley.
Republican Gov. Charlie
Baker says the decision to locate the office in Massachusetts reflects what he calls the
state’s competitive climate
and dedication to academic
and industrial innovation.
Massachusetts is already
home to six military installations with $13 billion in economic activity.
Man gets 18-25 years in home invasion Student injured
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A Springfield man has
been sentenced to serve up to 25 years behind bars for beating a 92-year-old man during a home invasion.
Patrick Donovan was sentenced on Tuesday in Springfield
after pleading guilty to more than a dozen charges, including home invasion, armed burglary, and armed assault with
intent to rob a person over 60.
The sentence includes a decade of probation.
Prosecutors say the victim was attacked in November 2014
in his kitchen and suffered a fractured jaw, a concussion and
injuries to the larynx. Donovan also threatened the victim’s
82-year-old wife.
Defense lawyer Nicholas Horgan had asked for a 10-year
sentence, saying Donovan had multiple drug addictions at
the time.
Donovan apologized in court saying he wishes he “could
take it back.”
Funeral services set for officer
CHARLTON, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts community is paying its final respects to a police officer
who was fatally shot during a traffic stop.
A wake for Auburn Officer Ronald Tarentino Jr. is
scheduled for Thursday at St. Joseph Catholic Church
in Charlton.
A funeral Mass is planned for Friday morning at St.
Joseph, followed by burial at Greenville Baptist Church
Cemetery in Tarentino’s hometown of Leicester.
The 42-year-old was shot in the back during a traffic
stop early Sunday morning by a man with a long criminal history. The suspect was later killed during an exchange of gunfire with police.
Tarentino was the son of a longtime Medford officer
and an avid outdoorsman. He’s survived by his wife and
three sons.
from fight
TOWNSEND,
Mass.
(AP) — Police say a 16-yearold student is facing charges
stemming from a fight at a
Massachusetts high school
that left a fellow student
with serious injuries.
Police say the fight happened Tuesday morning at
North Middlesex Regional
High School in Townsend.
The altercation apparently
began following a dispute.
Authorities say one of the
teens entered an administrative office, told school
officials about the fight, and
began slipping in and out of
consciousness. He was hospitalized with serious head
injuries.
The other teen has turned
himself into police and
faces a charge of assault
and battery with intent to
do serious bodily injury.
He’s scheduled to be arraigned in juvenile court on
Wednesday.
Police aren’t identifying
the students at this time.
District Superintendent
Joan Landers called the
situation “deeply unfortunate.”
