Andrews seeks to regain
Second Franklin State
Representative seat
ORANGE — Denise
Andrews
(D-Orange)
is running to secure the
Second Franklin District
State
Representative
seat, an office she previously held from 2011 to
2015.
“Serving as your representative and helping
individuals, families and
our communities solve
problems and make
progress was a job I
Denise Andrews
loved. I would be honored to be elected and to again have the privilege of
serving this wonderful district,” Andrews said.
In her two terms in office Andrews led efforts to
secure funds for the district’s veterans and senior citizens, partnered with local developers to bring Market
Basket to exit 18 in Athol, promoted efforts to expand
Wal-Mart in Orange, worked tirelessly to advance regional tourism, and secured state funding to support
the library and elementary school in Athol.
She also worked hard to secure support and funding for Heywood Hospitals’ investments in upgrading
the Athol Hospital Emergency Room and in opening
the Quabbin Retreat Center in Petersham, both vital
investments in advancing excellent health care in the
region.
“Ensuring that our area has good jobs will continue
to be my top priority,” Andrews explained. “Additionally, we also have serious work to do to stop the addiction that plagues our district and the state, to increase
our economic prospects and to enhance our communication infrastructure. I love this area and know our
strengths as well as the opportunities we can access
with the right representation advocating for us.”
“I will be in your corner and I will continue to build
effective partnerships across the region and the commonwealth to improve the quality of life for you, our
families and our communities. I am asking for your renewed support and your vote on Nov. 8.”

SPRINGFIELD, Mass.
(AP) — Springfield police

The two men were tailed
by police through several
cities where they allegedly
made drops to street-level
dealers. They were arrested
in a gas station parking lot.
Investigators then executed a search warrant on an
apartment where arrested
the woman and found the
heroin, as well as cocaine
and marijuana, more than
$11,000 in cash, a loaded
gun and drug weighing and
packaging paraphernalia.

Athol-Royalston school district, ATA
reach collective bargaining agreement
3.5 pct. in raises over 3-year contract approved
By KEITH KENT
ADN Correspondent
ATHOL — Acting Superintendent
Dr. Steve Meyer along with immediate past Athol Teachers Association
President Keith Williams announced
the district has nearly completed all
contract negotiations with its individual unions, and is in the final stages of
approval and proofreading.
The new contract with the teachers,
custodians and others in the district is
for three years, starting on July 1. The
contract for teachers has a 1 percent
increase in the first year, a 1 percent
guaranteed increase in the second
year, and 1.5 percent in the third year.
There is also a clause for an increase if
the number of students who choice out
goes down.
Meyer said, “Everything has been
agreed upon.” Williams added, “All
the bargaining in these contracts have
been ratified unanimously such as by
the association, and the school committee voted on it also, so yes we are
good to go.”
In his first contract negotiation,
Meyer said, “I felt it went extremely
well and that both negotiation committees gave both Williams and myself
the ability to meet in between sessions
and clarify issues and craft some language so that when it came back to the
sessions it was much easier and there
was a much better understanding of

Center
BOSTON — State Sen.
Anne M. Gobi (D-Spencer)
and State Rep. Susannah
M. Whipps Lee (R-Athol)
have announced a $145,000
grant awarded to the Athol
Community
Elementary
School for after school and
summer programming at
the Athol Area YMCA.
“The Town of Athol and
YMCA continue to offer a
variety of learning experiences to our youth,” said
Gobi. “Learning does not
end with a bell or school
year; it continues. This
grant will allow educational
opportunities throughout
the summer and outside of
normal school hours.”
“Many families are at
a disadvantage when it
comes to accessing learning opportunities outside
of school, and this grant is a
chance to bridge that gap,”
said Whipps Lee. “This out
what we were trying to do. I really do
believe that both the teachers association and the school committee understand the sense of urgency we have
now. We were able to clean up some
language and reexamine a few things,
and just try to make sure that with the
positions we were going to have an effective teaching staff which also means
they need to feel respected. I feel we
were able to negotiate that through
salary and other areas.”
Williams, who has negotiated nearly
every union contract with the district
going back 30 years, said, “I would
say this contract negotiation was the

Three textbooks were
considered, but they went
with “Horticulture Today”
by Jodi Songer-Riedel and
Elizabeth Driscoll (G-W
Publisher). It will be used
in grades 9 to 12 in several courses throughout the
horticultural program.
Three textbooks were
also considered for the
chemistry program, but
they chose “Basic Chemistry” 5th edition Timber-
lake. It will be used in college preparatory chemistry
only.
Assistant business manager Ann-Marie Geyster
said that the books should
arrive before June 30 and
since the order hasn’t come
in yet, she doesn’t know the
price.
Erickson said that “Horticulture Today” will be
cheaper than the other textbooks that they considered.
He commented on why the
books are needed. “‘Horticulture Today’ has better
alignment with Massachusetts Frameworks for Horticulture, better content,
and historical facts of the
green industry, and it has
a lab book as a supporting
resource.”
He explained that the
chemistry book has had
to be rebound multiple

a decade — for elementary,
middle and high school.
Erik Erickson, director
of curriculum instruction
and assessment, went before the school committee
to discuss the current state
of the textbooks. With the
new horticulture program
heading into its second
year, students need to have
that curriculum available as
a resource, he said.
For the chemistry classes,
it wasn’t because of a new
curriculum installed but
rather due to outdated material that new books were
requested, he said.
“The book is about 15
years old,” Erickson said.

ATHOL — Two motor
vehicle accidents were reported to police over the
last day.
At 5:33 p.m., Thursday, a
vehicle operated by Anna
Dillon, of Franklin Street,
struck a tree on Partridgeville Road. No injuries
resulted; no citations were
issued.
Today, at 3:12 p.m., a vehicle operated by Matthew
D. Flint, of 270 East Rd.,
Orange, was in an accident
on North Orange Road. No

ATHOL — Athol’s oldest church, First Church,
Unitarian, will return to
its former home, now the
Athol Historical Society,
for a worship service at
10 a.m. Sunday, June 19.
Church historian Chris
Coyle will lead the service
and present a sermon titled
Religious Beginnings in
Massachusetts.
Athol’s 4th meetinghouse, now the Athol
Historical Society, was
constructed in 1827-1828.
Athol’s 3rd meetinghouse,
built in 1773 on the land of
the present uptown common, was by the 1820s no
longer adequate for the
town’s needs. It was neither architecturally pleasing nor functional. However, nothing could spur
the town into action until
July 2, 1827, when a former
citizen forced the issue by
burning the structure to
the ground. Colonel Samuel Sweetzer, a prominent
landowner and cattleman,
donated an acre of land at
1307 Main St. as the site
for a new meetinghouse.
On Dec. 3, 1828, some
1,200 people attended
dedication and celebration
exercises.
A second floor was added to the building in 1847
to serve as a town hall. In
1922, the First Church and
Second Unitarian Church
merged to become the
Unattended
death under
investigation
ATHOL — Police are investigating the unattended
death of a male subject at a
Sanders Street location that
was reported at 2:52 p.m.,
Thursday.
Lt. Kevin Heath said this
morning the cause is not believed to be suspicious. As
per protocol, the medical
examiner’s office and the
State Police Crime Prevention and Control unit were
notified.
Further information, including the age of the subject, was unavailable prior
to press time today.
First Church, Unitarian
and would worship in the
structure built at 478 Main
St. in 1915. The ownership
of the old meetinghouse
was transferred fully to
the town of Athol at that
time. Most town functions
were moved to the Athol
Memorial Building after it
was completed in 1924, yet
the town maintained ownership of the old meetinghouse. The Athol Women’s
Club rented the former
church hall for many years.
The Athol Historical Society was formed in 1953
by a small group of historic-minded citizens. Four
years later, in 1957, the
fledgling organization was
successful in obtaining the
old building from the town
for $1 to use as a museum
and for other historic purposes.
Sunday’s service is open
to the public. All are welcome to attend.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass.

life. Awards are considered
based on their benefit to
the community, the qualifications of the individuals
and organizations involved,
community interest and the
population served. These
surveys are a way to ensure
that the public’s interests
are being served.
OCC Input Surveys are
available at the Orange Innovation Center (2nd floor),
the Quabbin Harvest Food

STATE OF WATER SUPPLY
CONSERVATION NOW IN EFFECT
Effective immediately (June 17, 2016), the Orange Water Department (OWD) is implementing a State of Water Supply Conservation for users of the Orange public water supply. Dry weather
conditions have triggered the need for this water use restriction. According to the Mass. Department of Environmental Protection (DEP),
the restriction is necessary to protect stream flow for aquatic life and
ensure a sustainable water supply.
An immediate ban on non-essential outdoor water uses is required. The
water uses banned include:
• Irrigation of lawns and watering of gardens, flowers and ornamental plants (except by means of a hand held hose between the
hours of 5 PM – 9 AM).
• Washing of vehicles, other than by commercial car wash.
• Washing of exterior building surfaces, parking lots, driveways
or sidewalks, except as needed to apply paints, preservatives,
stucco, pavement or cement.
DEP requires that water restrictions be implemented when stream flow
in the Millers River drops below 186 cubic feet per second (83,477 gallons per minute) for a 3-day period. The restriction can be lifted when
stream flow rises above that level for 7 consecutive days. OWD will
notify the public when the restriction is lifted.
Any person found violating these water restrictions is subject to the fines
established in Section 9 of the Town’s Water Use Restriction Bylaw. These
fines are $50 for the first violation and $100 for the second and subsequent
violations. Each day of violation shall be considered a separate offense.

shown at Wendell Library
WENDELL — The
film “Transcendence” will
be shown at the Wendell
Free Library on Saturday,
July 2, at 7:30 p.m.
A scientist’s drive for artificial intelligence takes
on dangerous implications when his consciousness is uploaded into one
such program. Dr. Will
Caster (Johnny Depp) is
the foremost researcher
in the field of Artificial
Intelligence, working to
create a sentient machine
that combines the collective intelligence of everything ever known with the
full range of human emotions. His highly controversial
experiments have made
him famous, but they have
also made him the prime
target of anti-technology
extremists who will do
whatever it takes to stop
him. There will be a short,
half-hour film at 7 p.m.,
an episode of “Flash Gordon and the Brain Machine.”
This is the next in the
monthly series of science
fiction/fantasy and hor-
ror/monster movies at
the Wendell Free Library,
located in the center
of Wendell. Admission is
free.
For more information
about the library, visit
www.wendellfreelibrary.
org or call 978-544-3559.
Following are upcoming
movies in the series, all of
which begin with a halfhour TV or movie serial,

presentation at 7:30:
• Aug. 6 — “Dracula’s
Daughter” (1936) starring Otto Kruger, Gloria
Holden and Marguerite
Churchill.
• Sept. 3 — “Back to
the Future” starring Michael J. Fox, Christopher

Don’t gouge the poor for
missed doctor’s appointments
punitive measure that would fine
Medicaid patients who miss doctor’s
appointments is unnecessarily harsh and
deserves to be vetoed by Gov. Jay Nixon,
who has it under review.
There are better and less mean-spirited
ways to achieve the worthy goals of trying to get patients to take more control
of their health care, and helping doctors
avoid the time and money lost to missed
appointments.
The bill, SB 608, would allow Medicaid
providers to bill a missed appointment fee
when MO HealthNet patients miss or fail
to cancel 24 hours in advance. The measure was sponsored by Sen. David Sater,
R-Cassville. The Senate’s two doctors,
Rob Schaaf, R-St. Joseph, and Bob Onder,
R-Lake Saint Louis, voted in favor.
This measure has all the hallmarks of
being politically motivated and callously
dismissive of the financial conditions poor
people must endure. It does nothing but
punish already struggling low-income patients and make life easier for doctors.
Health care experts say it is also unlikely to
win federal approval even if Nixon signs it.
The fees in the bill are $5 for the first
missed appointment, $10 for the second
and $20 for the third. Small amounts but
enough of a financial obstacle to discourage people from seeing their doctors altogether.
That’s the dangerous part of the bill.
People who live in poverty already have
lower life expectancies than those with
middle or higher incomes. Erecting barriers to getting health care can only increase
the gap.
The bill would also drive up costs for
people with private or employer-paid
medical insurance plans because the additional expense of caring for a sicker population would be passed on to them.
There are easier and better ways to
discourage people from missing doctor’s
appointments, including reminders by
phone, text or email or flexible scheduling
systems that can accommodate potential
no-shows.
Patients often have honest reasons for
missing appointments and not calling to
cancel. Low-income patients often have
unreliable cars or live in areas with inferior public transportation. They might
not know until they start out, and the car
breaks down or a bus doesn’t arrive, that
they won’t make their appointment.
There are legitimate debates about
whether Americans are entitled to health
care, about the quality of care they receive,
and how care is paid for. But there should
be no debate on the morality of gouging a
poor person for a few dollars.
Doctors themselves often aren’t punctual. An appointment goes long or they
get an emergency call. Empathetic doctors
understand that similar delays happen to
their patients. While patients might not
confront life-and-death issues, they are
probably juggling complicated schedules
and difficult circumstances.
Warn chronic no-shows that they will be
blocked from future service. Encourage
them with reminders about appointments.
But don’t hit them in the wallet.

VIOLENCE MUST STOP
Editor, Daily News
The terrorist attack /
mass shooting / hate crime
in Orlando has brought
to the surface a conflation
of issues that are crucial for
our safety as well as our national identity. Who do we
want to be as a nation, as a
people? In a big sense how
we confront the issues of
gun violence, religious violence, and homophobia will
answer that question of who
we are.
As a minister based in the
progressive Jesus-tradition,
my following of the non-sectarian, unaffiliated Jewish
rabbi named Jesus, moves
how I confront the issues
of gun violence, religious
violence, and inclusion or
exclusion of the other. So
I quickly go through these
issues asking the question,
“what would Jesus do?”
1.) Gun Violence
If a gun was available
to Jesus, would he have
used it? I think the answer
is pretty clear, he would
have not. In the run-up to
the central narrative of the
Christian story, that of the
crucifixion, Jesus’ key disciple, Peter, famously drew a
sword and was about to use
it. One gospel says Peter did
use it, striking the ear of a
soldier there to arrest Jesus.

A long life lived well is
inspiration for others
DEAR ABBY: I read
your column and I feel for
the people who have problems. I have no worries. Although my life has been far
from perfect and no bed of
roses, here I am at 95 with
no serious physical, spiritual, emotional, family or
economic problems.
I grew up during the Depression, had wonderful
parents, worked my way
through college, and was
married to a loving woman
for 67 years. I have four successful children and their
spouses and several industrious grandchildren. I also
have met a terrific widow
who shares the current daily
obstacles.
Service in the Navy during
WWII and Korea seemed at
the time to limit my future
career, but in retrospect
were experiences I cherish.
Science has been good to
me. My knee replacement
still permits tennis, three
stents keep me alive, vertebra shots eliminate severe
pain and I have had a couple
of other minor corrections.
Yes, I know, Abby — I am
the luckiest person alive. —
FRANK IN ATLANTA
DEAR FRANK: I agree.
And I can’t help but wonder
if part of your luck has to do
with your attitude when you
were faced with problems
that others would consider
to be adversities. We can all
learn from your example.
******
DEAR ABBY: I know I
have an issue with alcohol.
I have read about local AA
groups, but they don’t seem
right for me because I’m an
atheist. When I went to my
doctor, along with my supportive husband, she had no
suggestions to offer. I know
I need help beyond what
friends and family can pro-
vide. Do you have any ideas
for me? — TAKING THE
STEP IN PENNSYLVANIA
DEAR TAKING THE
STEP: I certainly do, because there are secular alternatives to AA.
SMART Recovery offers a
four-point program aimed
at motivation to abstain,
coping with cravings, managing negative emotions
and finding a life balance.
It has face-to-face support
groups worldwide, as well as
daily online meetings. Like
AA, lifetime abstinence is
the goal, and meetings and
help are free of charge. Unlike AA, lifetime abstinence
need not require lifetime
attendance at meetings.
For more information, visit
smartrecovery.org.
Another group, Women
for Sobriety, may be of interest to you because it is
non-theistic and aims to
empower women and minorities. The website, womenforsobriety.org, does not
list its meetings (for reasons of privacy), so in order to find a group, you will
have to make contact within
the site.
Last, Secular Organizations for Sobriety (aka Save
Our Selves) is sometimes
described as a 12-step program minus the religious
overtones. To find a list of
meetings, visit sossobriety.

Today’s Highlight in History:
On June 17, 1775, the Revolutionary War Battle of Bunker Hill resulted in a costly
victory for the British, who
suffered heavy losses.
On this date:
In 1789, during the French
Revolution, the Third Estate
declared itself a national assembly, and undertook to

rebuked Peter, saying “put
the sword away… those who
live by the sword shall die by
the sword.”
The story of Jesus’ arrest is very telling. When
Jesus had the greatest right
to bear arms, when he was
unjustly being arrested by a
foreign power, he did not,
and in fact rebuked their
use. Jesus was calling for
nonviolent transformation,
a spiritual-political transformation (Jesus did not
separate the two.) In fact,
because of this non-violence, the traditional Christian story tells us, the world
was offered redemption.
2.) Religious Violence
How we see and define
God matters. The God of
violent, religious fundamentalists is not really God
at all. The God of fundamentalism in any form is
not the God of Jesus or of
true prophets before or after Jesus. God is defined by
love and compassion, and
vice versa. “God is Love,” to
use an often used but utterly
true phrase. If God is Love
and loving, present parent,
then exclusion, judgment,
and violence based in exclusion and judgment comes
from something other than
God. This is true for Muslims and those of other
faiths. Violence in the name
of religion, a word which
is believed to literally mean
“to reconnect,” is an oxymoron of the most dangerous
kind.
3.) Homophobia
We must be clear. Religious violence is not simply
confined to physical violence. There is spiritual
violence as well. And one
commits spiritual violence
in condemning and demonizing a person based on who
they are. One commits spiritual violence in degrading
and denigrating those who
are LGBTQ, as well as those
who are Muslim or who
come — or whose parents
come — from somewhere
else. One commits spiritual
violence in passing laws that
unfairly target those simply
being who they are and desiring to love who they love.
Violence begins when we
ignore or dismiss the shared
humanity of another, the
innate dignity in another,
the child of God status true
in all of us, no matter who
we are or the faith or nonfaith we espouse. We see
this violence in the Orlando
shooter. We see this violence in the physical abuse
of our LGBTQ brothers/sisters. And we see as well the
seeds of violence in the exclusion and “otherizing” of
our LGBTQ brothers/sisters.
This must stop!

CIA director: US hasn’t been
able to curb IS global reach
By DEB RIECHMANN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) —
The U.S. battle against the
Islamic State has not yet
curbed the group’s global reach and as pressure
mounts on the extremists in
Iraq and Syria, they are expected to plot more attacks
on the West and incite violence by lone wolves, CIA
Director John Brennan told
Congress on Thursday.
In a rare open hearing,
Brennan gave the Senate intelligence committee an update on the threat from Islamic extremists and shared
his views on a myriad of other topics, including encryption, Russia and Syria.
Brennan said IS has
worked to build an apparatus to direct and inspire attacks against its foreign enemies, as in the recent attacks
in Paris and Brussels — ones
the CIA believes were directed by the top IS leaders.
“ISIL has a large cadre
of Western fighters who
could potentially serve as
operatives for attacks in the
West,” Brennan said, using
a different acronym for the
group.
“Furthermore, as we have
seen in Orlando, San Bernardino and elsewhere, ISIL
is attempting to inspire attacks by sympathizers who
have no direct links to the
group.”
Brennan said the CIA has
not been able to uncover any
direct link between the Orlando shooter and a foreign
terrorist organization.
He said the U.S.-led coalition has killed IS leaders,
forced the group to surrender large swaths of territory
in Iraq and Syria and that
fewer fighters are traveling
to Syria and others have defected.
While the group’s ability to raise money has been
thwarted, it still generates
at least tens of millions of
dollars every month, mostly
from taxation and sales of
crude oil on black markets
in Syria and Iraq.
“Unfortunately, despite
all our progress against ISIL
on the battlefield and in
the financial realm, our efforts have not reduced the
group’s terrorism capability
and global reach,” he said.
He said IS is slowly cultivating its branches into an
interconnected global network and that the number of
IS fighters now far exceeds
what al-Qaida had at its
peak.
The CIA estimates there
are 18,000 to 22,000 IS fighters in Syria and Iraq — down
from about 33,000 last year.
The branch in Libya, with
between 5,000 and 8,000
fighters, is the most advanced and most dangerous,
but IS is trying to increase its
influence in Africa, Brennan
said.

most collaborative and cooperative one
that I have ever participated in. Both sides
worked on the issues at hand, and there really weren’t that many, so within just a few
sessions we were both on the same page.”
Concession, longer days
Meyer said, “The teachers really did
make some concessions by allowing us to
lengthen the school day at both the elementary and high school level to add more time
on learning.” The overall time of the length
of day will be increased by five minutes per
day at the elementary school, and six minutes per day at the high school, with the
middle school staying the same as a similar
situation is already in process there.
Adding over a week of classroom time “We have kind of worked some things in
there to shorten lunch and recess a little bit
at the elementary level so the student time
on learning should actually increase 15 minutes a day which comes out to an increase
of 45 hours of learning over the school year
or an additional seven days per week. The
language in the contract gives us the ability to do everything if it all works out, but
does not totally lock us into everything if
it doesn’t, which can be based on possible
student redesign grants and other possibilities,” Meyer said.
Increase in teaching staff An increase in teaching staff will be in effect during the 2016-2017 school year, with
a decrease of a few paraprofessionals according to Meyer, which he referred to as
a balancing act.
Unanimous voting
Both Meyer and Williams confirmed every collective bargaining group, the ATA
and nurses, the maintenance personnel, administrative assistants and secretaries, and
paraprofessionals all voted unanimously
to accept their contracts. Williams added,
“We represent all the bargaining groups,
but they each have their own separate contracts, except for food services who represent themselves.” There are about 135 people who are either teachers or other various
professionals who fall under the teachers’
contract. Superintendent expresses respect Meyer said, “I would be in complete remiss if did not say that I have read about
and did hear from other staff about the
contentious relationship that used to exist
between the administration and the union
leadership. I have only been in Athol for

since I have been here and long before. No
matter what position I was in, high school
principal, assistant superintendent, or whatever, he as always been great to work with
as the president. He really understood what
we were trying to do, and had a great way of
balancing things when it came to what was

remiss if I did not acknowledge that the
cultural change that took place in this district started with Superintendent [Anthony]
Polito. For many of those years it was very
contentious. But we both realized that if we
wanted to move forward and improve student achievement that we needed to work
together collaboratively and cooperatively.
In the past contract Tony and I worked together on this, and I built a great relationship with Tony, from what was for many
years, very bad, but he will leave this district,

Bid to bar illegal immigrants from military
WASHINGTON (AP) —
The Republican-led House
on Thursday narrowly defeated an attempt to bar
young immigrants living in
the country illegally to enlist
in the armed forces, as opponents tied the measure to
Donald Trump’s presidential
campaign.
Lawmakers voted 211-210
to reject an amendment by
Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., to
the annual defense spending
bill. He said he wanted to
close what he called a “backdoor amnesty program” created by President Barack
Obama without approval
from Congress.
Rep. Ruben Gallego, DAriz., linked Gosar’s amendment to Trump’s characterizations of immigrants and
the candidate’s proposals to
deport those illegally in the
United States. Trump also
wants to build a wall along
the Mexican border.
“I am glad to see that
some Republicans are rejecting the tired, anti-immigrant policies promoted by
the likes of Donald Trump,”
Gallego, a former Marine
who served in Iraq, said.
The potential recruits
were brought to the U.S. illegally as children. They are
protected from deportation
under the Obama administration’s Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals program,
or DACA. They also receive
temporary work permits, re-
newable every two years as
long as they meet certain requirements. Federal officials
have said the program is not
a pathway to permanent residency or citizenship.
The Pentagon announced
nearly two years ago that
DACA beneficiaries would
be allowed to enlist in a trial
program that had been open
only to legal immigrants who
had unique language, medical and cultural skills.
Gallego said weeks ago
the House Armed Services Committee approved a
compromise that affirmed
the secretary of defense’s
authority to allow any immigrant to enlist, including
DACA beneficiaries, if it’s
determined to be in the national interest.
Gosar said the Pentagon
told him that 141 DACA immigrants have used that path
to join the military. But the
program was never supposed
“to be utilized for the benefit
of illegal aliens,” according
to Gosar, who said they can
be granted citizenship if they
are deployed to a combat
zone for at least one day. He
said his amendment would
have returned the program
to its original intent.
“The president has relentlessly amended immigration
law by executive fiat and executive edict. And this is another time,” said Rep. Steve
King, R-Iowa, a frequent
critic of the Obama admin-
istration’s immigration policies who supported Gosar’s
proposal.
A separate but similar
amendment to Gosar’s by
King would have blocked
the Pentagon from using any
money to enlist DACA beneficiaries. It failed on a vote
of 214-207.
Gallego also opposed
King’s amendment. “Your
patriotism is more important
than your papers,” he said.
Following the votes on the
immigration amendments,
the House decisively passed
the $575.7 billion defense
spending bill, 282-138.
The White House threatened Tuesday to veto the bill,
which maintains a ban on
moving prisoners held at the
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, detention facility to the United
States. It also denies the use
of any money for the construction or modification of
a facility in the U.S. to replace the prison at Guantanamo.
The prohibition, which
has been included in prior
defense bills, has prevented
Obama from fulfilling a
campaign pledge to shutter
the facility.

Cavs down Warriors, force Game 7
By TOM WITHERS
AP Sports Writer
CLEVELAND (AP) — From
the edge of elimination to the
brink of history.
LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers have pushed the
NBA Finals to their limit. Game 7
is necessary.
James scored 41 points, delivering another magnificent performance with no margin for error,
Kyrie Irving added 23 and the
Cavs sent the finals packing for
California by beating the rattled
Golden State Warriors 115-101 on
Thursday night to even this unpredictable series and force a decisive
finale.
Cleveland saved its season for
the second time in four days and
will head back to Oakland’s Oracle Arena for Sunday’s climactic
game with a chance to become
the first team to overcome a 3-1
deficit in the NBA Finals, and give
this title-starved city its first major
sports championship since Dec.
27, 1964.
“One more game left,” James
said. “I’ll play it anywhere.”
James added 11 assists, eight rebounds and again outplayed twotime MVP Stephen Curry, who
fouled out and was ejected in the
fourth quarter.
The Warriors never imagined
being in this spot. The defending
champions, who powered their
way to a record 73 wins in the regular season, won the first two games
by 48 combined points. But Curry
and Co. have lost their touch, their
poise and are in danger of seeing
their historic season — and a second title — vanish.
Curry got tossed with 4:22 left
after he was called for his sixth
personal foul, cursed several times
at an official and fired his mouthpiece into the front row, striking a fan. Curry finished with 30
points, Klay Thompson had 25
and Draymond Green, back from
a one-game suspension, had 10 rebounds.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr felt
the officiating was biased against
Curry, who had never been tossed
before.
“He gets six fouls called on him,
three of them were absolutely ridiculous,” Kerr said. “As the MVP
of the league, we’re talking about
these touch fouls in the NBA
Finals. I’m happy he threw his
mouthpiece.”
Curry walked off the floor smiling before making the long walk to
the locker room.
“I didn’t think I fouled either
Kyrie or LeBron,” said Curry, recounting fouls No. 5 and 6. “It was
obviously frustrating fouling out
in the fourth quarter of a clinching
game and not being out there with
my teammates. So it got the best
of me, but I’ll be all right for the
next game.”
On Wednesday, James called
Game 7, “the two best words
ever.”
He’ll live them once more,
thanks to a spell-binding effort
— the two-time champion had a
hand in 27 consecutive points and
35 of 36 during a stretch in the second half — and put away the Warriors after they trimmed a 24-point
deficit to seven in the final period.
James scored 17 in the fourth before checking out to a thunderous
ovation in the final minutes as
Cleveland fans chanted, “Cavs in
7!” and “See you Sunday!”
“It’s LeBron being LeBron,”
Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said. “He’s
one of the greatest of all-time.
Our back was against the wall and
he took it upon himself, him and
Kyrie, they put us on their backs.
They’ve got us to where we wanted to be — and that’s Game 7.”
James is one win from cementing his legacy by ending Cleveland’s 52-year sports championship drought and winning his third
title, the one the kid from Akron
came home to win.
In typical Cleveland fashion,
there were some heart palpitations in the fourth. The Cavs were
up 70-46 in the third, and when
J.R. Smith blindly dropped a
lob pass to a trailing James for a
NBA Finals Page 7
BOSTON (AP) — Eduardo Rodriguez is having trouble finding
his way out of a recent slump.
The Boston Red Sox starter had
his latest underwhelming outing
and it cost them a chance to earn
their first series win this season
over an American League East
rival they expect to see down the
road.
Rodriguez lasted just 4 1/3 innings and gave up eight hits and
five runs in his fourth start of the
season as the Baltimore Orioles
beat Boston 5-1 on Thursday
night.
Over his last three starts Rodriguez (1-2) has pitched 14 2/3 innings, while giving up 18 hits, 14
runs and nine walks.
“Just missing spots a lot of
times,” Rodriguez said of his effort Thursday. “Tried to go to the
outside corner and just pitch right
in the middle with a fastball and
with the changeup. That’s what
happened I think.”
Manager John Farrell said he
thinks Rodriguez had the tools,
but said small shortcomings
against Baltimore’s lineup were
costly.
“It comes down to just the consistent execution. There were a
number of at-bats where he’d get
ahead in counts and would misfire

AP Sports Writer
SEATTLE (AP) — Another
benchmark for the United States.
Another huge goal for Clint
Dempsey.
As unlikely as it seemed a few
weeks ago, the U.S. is in the semifinals of the Copa America.
Dempsey scored for the third
straight game and set up Gyasi
Zardes for a tap-in goal, boosting
the United States into the Copa
America semifinals with a wild 2-1
win over Ecuador on Thursday
night.
“Clint is special,” U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. “He showed
that tonight. He showed that the
last couple of weeks. He showed
that throughout his entire career.”
Playing before a boisterous and
almost completely partisan home
crowd of 47,322 in the soccer-mad
Pacific Northwest, the U.S. won a
knockout game against a nation
outside its region for only the second time other than in the CONCACAF Gold Cup. It will play Argentina or Venezuela on Tuesday
in Houston.
And the Americans did it on
the back of Dempsey, their fiery
33-year-old striker whose place on
the U.S. team was debated early
this year. Dempsey’s 52nd international goal, five behind Landon
Donovan’s American record, put
the U.S. ahead in the 22nd minute. Zardes guided Dempsey’s
cross into the net in the 65th for
his sixth goal and a 2-0 lead.
“I’ve been blessed that I was
able to step up and, hopefully, I
can keep going,” Dempsey said. “I
thought we played well. I thought
we created some good chances in
front of goal. We were unlucky not
to score more.”
Michael Arroyo scored for Ecuador in the 74th minute, making for a tense ending, and Enner
Valencia missed a pair of great
chances moments later on a pair
of headers.
It was a chippy game that became costly for the U.S. American
midfielder Jermaine Jones was
shown a red card during a 52ndminute confrontation that also
saw Ecuador winger Antonio Valencia sent off after a second yel-
low card for a harsh tackle on Alejandro Bedoya along the sideline .
U.S. players immediately rushed
in to the scrum after Valencia’s
tackle, and Jones raised an arm at
Arroyo. Colombian referee Wilmar Roldan immediately showed
a red card to Jones.
Klinsmann was irate at the red
card, blaming the decision on
fourth official Wilton Sampaio on
the sideline.
“It was an absolute joke,” Klinsmann said.
Jones will be suspended for the
semifinal along with Bedoya and
Bobby Wood, who both got their
second yellow cards of the tournament.
Ecuador coach Gustavo Quinteros also appeared to be sent off in
the 90th minute.
The only previous knockout
win for the U.S. over a non-CONCACAF team was against Spain
in the 2009 Confederations Cup
semifinal. The only other U.S. appearance in the Copa semifinals
was in 1995, when it advanced to
the final four by beating Mexico,
then was eliminated by Brazil.

BASEBALL CHAMPIONS — The Rotary captured the Chuck Stone Little League Major
Baseball championship with a 9-7 victory over the VFW on Thursday. Team members are, left

on the plate to give a guy a chance
to put a ball in play,” Farrell said.
“Then he’d get behind in a count,
he found himself in some hitter
counts that ended being squared
up.”
Baltimore’s Tyler Wilson allowed three hits over eight innings, while Adam Jones added a
home run and three RBIs.
The Orioles scored three runs in
the first four innings, then added
two in fifth.
Wilson (3-5) was strong throughout striking out six. Pitching on an
extra day of rest, he held Boston to
one hit through six innings.
“He was down today, those two
or three inches are huge,” Orioles
manager Buck Showalter said.
Wilson had endured his own issues entering Thursday, allowing
10 runs over his previous 9 2/3 innings. That changed against Boston, thanks to some solid defense
that took away hits and denied the
Red Sox baserunners.
Meanwhile, the Orioles offense feasted on Rodriguez’s early
struggles on the mound.
Walks got Rodriguez in trouble
during each of his previous two
starts, and he was again hurt by an
early one Thursday.
After striking out three batters
in the first two innings, Rodriguez
OAKMONT, Pa. (AP) — Even a
rain-soaked Oakmont didn’t keep
the U.S. Open from delivering its
usual dose of frustration.
Just not the kind anyone expected.
Defending champion Jordan
Spieth, who had spent five days
preparing on the firm and fiery
greens of Oakmont, posed over a
wedge into the 17th that landed behind the hole, spun back and kept
rolling until it trickled down a slope
into the bunker.
“You’ve got to be KIDDING
me! How is that in the bunker?”
Spieth said before slinging his club
toward the bag.
Masters champion Danny Willett sat in a cabin behind the seventh tee for more than an hour as
his group waited out the first of
three rain delays. When the weather cleared, players were sent back
onto the course without having a
chance to warm up again.
“You’re in a U.S. Open, they
don’t give you a chance to even hit
a few balls,” Willett said, and he
wasn’t alone in that observation.
Most frustrating of all?
Only nine players finished the
first round, and 78 players didn’t
even tee off. Play was to resume at
7:30 a.m. Friday.
It was the worst rain delay in a
U.S. Open since no one finished
the opening round at Bethpage
Black in 2009 in a tournament that
ended on a Monday.
The first round was suspended for
third and final time just as 28-yearold qualifier Andrew Landry was
finishing up a dream round in his
U.S. Open debut. Coming off two
straight bogeys, Landry drilled his
approach to about 10 feet on the
par-4 ninth when the horn sounded
as a violent storm approached. He
was at 3-under par.
“I was trying to get it in,” Landry
said. “But it’s hard when you’ve got
a couple of 60-footers out here.
And it’s the U.S. Open. So you’ve
just got to be patient with it.”
He wasn’t the only player to make
a quick impression in his first U.S.
Open. On the short list of players
who finished was Scottie Scheffler,
who just finished his sophomore
year at Texas and opened with a 69.
“I feel pretty good. It hasn’t really sunk in yet,” he said. “There’s
definitely some scores out there to
be shot. We’re used to playing short
to all these pins, and now we’ve got
to worry about controlling our spin.
And you’ve really, really got to be
on the fairway to attack these pins
again.”
Willett, Rory McIlroy and Rickie
Fowler could not get off the course
soon enough. They played in the
same group and were a combined
14 over through 13 holes. Fowler
has missed the cut in three of his
last five events.
It was evident immediately how
much the rain affected the course.
Denny McCarthy, the first to hit a
shot in the 116th U.S. Open, struck
what he thought was a good approach to No. 1. The fairway slopes
sharply downhill to a green that
runs away from players, and the
typical play is to land it some 25
yards short and let it run onto the
green and, hopefully, have it stay
there. His shot stopped short of the
green.
But while the greens were soft,
they still were quick as ever.
Starting on No. 10, Bryon DeChambeau had a 40-foot birdie at-

an IndyCar race pulled out of
Boston before it even began.

organizers cancelled it in April.
The race ran into public opposition and a wavering commitment

the building began thinking about where they might
spend Father’s Day.
The Warriors, though,
weren’t done. On the same
floor where they won their
title exactly one year ago,
Thompson made a pair of
3-pointers as Golden State,
playing without injured center Andrew Bogut, used a
25-10 run to pull within 8071 entering the final 12 minutes.
But James, as he did while
winning two titles in Miami,
made sure those belonged
to him and extended Cleveland’s dream season.
For the Warriors, a golden
year is suddenly stained.
“The playoffs haven’t
been easy,” Curry said.
“But we’ve given ourselves
a chance with Game 7 at
home.”
BIG GAME JAMES
James has scored 41 points
in the past two games, continuing a trend of bailing his
team out in its darkest hour.
He’s now 9-8 in elimination
games.
“He’s a fantastic player,
brilliant player,” said Kerr,
who played with Michael
Jordan.

anything major. “We feel

situation. This is probably a
one-day thing,” he said.
Orioles: RHP Darren
O’Day, who went on the 15day DL on June 3 with right
hamstring biceps tendinitis,
said there is still no timetable for his return. “Part of
my delivery is bending over,
stretching the hamstring.
Before I get on the mound,
I want to make sure it’s fully
healed, so it won’t happen
again,” O’Day said.
He said a short rehab assignment is possible, but
that the decision would be
made by the coaching staff.
“There’s no timetable,”
he said. “I’m antsy to get
back, get going, but it’s just
a matter of doing it once
and doing it right instead of
reinjuring it.”

Carson Smith in December.
RHP Mike Wright (3-3,

a three-game home series
against the Blue Jays on Friday. He gave up four runs in
five innings and received a
no-decision in Baltimore’s
11-6 loss at Toronto on June
11.

tempt that didn’t stop until it
was some 35 feet beyond the
hole.
Two holes later, Spieth
hit a wedge that checked up
about 10 feet short of the
hole and then trickled a few
inches toward the cup. And
it didn’t stop. Turn by turn,
the ball kept moving until
it settled 2 feet away. Even
then, Spieth gave the putt
great care and rolled in it.
“It’s nice to know if I miss
it, I’m chipping,” Spieth said
walking off the green.
There was still enough
excitement, with Lee Westwood holing out with a wedge
on the 14th hole, Danny Lee
holing out from the fairway
on No. 6 and McCarthy getting it on the act with a holeout from the 11th fairway.
Lee was at 2 under through
13 holes, along with Bubba
Watson, who made only two
pars in his opening holes.
Watson has never played the
U.S. Open very well, except
at Oakmont. He tied for fifth
in 2007.
Westwood, Kevin Streelman and Harris English were
at 1 under on various parts of
the course.
DeChambeau, who won
the U.S. Amateur last year
and had to qualify for the
Open because he turned pro,
was among the early leaders
until two holes set him back.
His shot out of deep
rough in the 18th fairway
squirted low and left and
into a bunker, and his third
shot banged off the grandstand, leading to double bogey. On his next shot at No.
1, he pushed right and into
the bushes. Then, he hit a
provisional shot into deep
rough on the left. DeChambeau was spared by finding
his ball. It was unplayable,
so he was allowed to go back
to the tee. He hit the fairway
and limited the damage to a
double bogey.
DeChambeau had to get
out of the Church Pew bunkers for his final shot of the
day, and he rode quietly in
a cart across the bridge over
the Pennsylvania Turnpike
and back toward the clubhouse, the end of a long day.
The longest day of all belonged to the likes of Jason
Day, Phil Mickelson and the
other half of the field that
didn’t even play. And they
faced an even longer day
Friday that for some could
mean 36 holes at Oakmont.
MINNEAPOLIS
(AP)
— CC Sabathia has pitched
this season as if he turned
back time about five years.
He’s been the best hope
for the New York Yankees
to climb back into contention.
Didi Gregorius hit a tiebreaking three-run homer in
the seventh inning, Sabathia
had another strong start
and the Yankees stopped a
four-game losing streak with
a 4-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Thursday
night.
Sabathia (5-4) needed
116 pitches to complete six
innings, struggling with his
fastball command, but he
struck out seven and retired
the last five batters he faced.
“I’ve got some experience being able to calm
down and be able to make a
pitch when I need to,” said
Sabathia, who lowered his
ERA to 2.20. His career best
is 2.70, in the 2008 season
split between Cleveland and
Milwaukee.
Former Yankees shortstop Eduardo Nunez’s twoout RBI single in the fourth
gave the Twins the lead, ending the scoreless streak for
Sabathia at 15 innings. But
the burly 35-year-old struck
out Robbie Grossman to
strand two of the nine runners the Twins left on base
against him, justifying manager Joe Girardi’s decision
to send him out for the sixth
after Sabathia lobbied for it.
“Baserunners are going to
happen,” Girardi said. “It’s
the pitches that you make
when baserunners are on
that are the most important.”
Aroldis Chapman pitched
the ninth for his 12th save in
13 attempts after scoreless
innings by Dellin Betances
and Andrew Miller.
Fernando Abad relieved
Twins starter Kyle Gibson
(0-5) with one out in the seventh to face the left-handed
Gregorius, after an infield
single and a walk to start the
inning. Abad, who had yet
to allow a homer all season
and took a 0.79 ERA into
the game, threw a first-pitch
fastball to Gregorius that
landed in the seats in right
field.
“It’s a dangerous part of
the game when you’re po-
tentially facing their bullpen
here with a lead in the last
three innings,” Twins manager Paul Molitor said. “We
just couldn’t make a pitch to
try to keep the game even.”
Sabathia hasn’t given up
more than three runs in
any of his 11 turns. Nor has
he surrendered more than
two runs in any appearance
since April. Over the previous three seasons, spanning
69 starts, Sabathia had a
4.81 ERA.
Gibson faced the minimum 15 batters through
five innings, but the first
four Yankees reached to
start the sixth, with Jacoby
Ellsbury’s RBI single tying
the game. Carlos Beltran
grounded into a double play
to end that inning, but more
trouble loomed for Gibson
in the seventh.
“CC has been strong all
year,” Gibson said. “It’s
a tough matchup for any
team. He was on tonight.”
GREGORIUS GETTING IT
Gregorius is 6 for 11 with
seven RBIs in his last three
games. Lefties are batting
just .125 (4 for 32) against
Abad, but Gregorius is hitting a team-high .368 (21 for
57) against left-handers.
“The second half of the
season last year, that’s when
I kind of figured out everything hitting-wise,” Gregorius said.
Gregorius batted just .247
against lefties last year, his
first with the Yankees following the retirement of
Derek Jeter.
“To see him relax and go
out and be able to have fun
playing the game, I think has
made a huge difference,”
Sabathia said, raving about
the 26-year-old’s play.
PRAISE FOR NUNEZ
Nunez, who played parts
of four seasons for the Yankees before being traded
to the Twins in 2014, left
plenty of admirers with his
original team despite never
becoming more than a parttimer. Nunez has flourished
this year, entering the game
sixth in the league in batting
average and third in steals.

COMPOSERS AND CONDUCTOR — Shown are composers and the conductor for Quabbin Valley Pro Musica’s June 26 performance of “Elijah.”

Quabbin Valley Pro Musica to sing ‘Elijah’
in concert June 26 at Meetinghouse
NEW SALEM — Felix
Mendelssohn’s robust oratorio “Elijah” will be the centerpiece of Quabbin Valley
Pro Musica’s summer concert
beginning at 3 p.m. Sunday,
June 26, in the 1794 Meetinghouse.
Charles Heffernan, professor emeritus of music at
UMass, Amherst, will conduct the 41-member chorus,
which will also sing debut
compositions by Carolyn
Brown Senier of Orange and
Allison Pollitt of Athol. Pollitt
will conduct her own composition. Judy Johnson will accompany the chorus.
Baritone John Salvi of
Shrewsbury will take the role
of Elijah in the condensed,
hour-long rendition that
the chorus will offer in two
parts. Senier’s “Prayer to
Saint Francis” will open part
1 of the concert, and Pollitt’s
“Commit My Spirit” will
open part 2.
“‘Elijah’ is a rich oratorio
full of musical adventure and
the familiar drama of biblical contrast,” Dr. Heffernan
said. The conductor himself
sometimes sang the role of
Elijah and other solos from
the oratorio during his earlier
career as a concert soloist.
Choristers include, from
Amherst, Connie Gillen
and Senier, soprano; Nancy
Gregg, alto; John Nelson,
tenor and Bill Gillen, bass;
from Athol, Allison Pollitt,
soprano; Marcia Gagliardi,
Janet Haley, and Deborrah
Porter, alto and Harry Haldt,
Paul Maier, and Bill Oldach,
bass.
Also, from Greenfield,
Paul Shallers, bass; from
Keene, N.H., Betty Forrest
and Louise Slayton, soprano;
Jackie Cleary, alto and Bill
Cleary, bass; from Leverett,
Mara Bright, alto and Jim
Perkins, bass; from New Salem, Jennifer Gray, Linda
Overing, and Cathy Tyng,
soprano; Jo-Anne Chapin,

GOLETA, Calif. (AP) —
Fueled by hot and dry weather, wildfires threatened homes
in California and other Western states as crews struggled
to corral flames that have
scorched miles of brush and
timber.
About 140 homes and
ranches were considered at
risk in California, where a
1,400-acre fire was tearing
through coastal canyons west
of Santa Barbara, scorching
an area that hadn’t burned in
60 years.
The chaparral was “very
dry, very dead-on-the-ground
fuel for the fire,” said Gina
DePinto,
communications
manager for Santa Barbara
County.
About 800 firefighters
struggled to reach the narrow,
brush-choked coastal canyons
to attack the flames. A fleet of
aircraft had better luck Thursday but nightfall brought a rise
in gusty, erratic “sundowner”
winds that had pushed the
blaze Wednesday night.
Fire official said early Friday that the blaze had calmed
a bit after surging Thursday
night.
For a second night, a freeway, U.S. 101, was closed in
the area.
Hundreds of people were
forced from campgrounds after the fire erupted Wednesday.
Charlie and Elizabeth Hatten spent the night at a shelter
after a park ranger woke them
as they camped at El Capitan
State Beach.
“The flames looked so close.
You couldn’t see the moon
anymore,” Charlie Hatten told
the Los Angeles Times.
The campgrounds remained closed but fire officials
said nobody remained at the
shelters Thursday.
In central New Mexico,
a blaze that began Tuesday,
spread across 16,000 acres by
Thursday night, forcing evacuations and burning several
buildings along the way. The
fire blackened 25 square miles
and blanketed Albuquerque,
the state’s largest city, in a
thick haze.
The fire was expected to
continue moving east and
northeast and posed an imminent threat to the small community of Chilili, the Tajique
area, and the Ponderosa Pine
residential area, according to
U.S. Forest Service officials.
New Mexico Gov. Susana
Martinez took to the air in a
National Guard helicopter on
Thursday to look over the devastation, according to a report
in the Albuquerque Journal.
“This is a serious fire,” Martinez said later during a news
conference and an Estancia
school, where the command
center for the firefighters is located. “We want to make sure
New Mexicans understand
that.”

Gator attack brings back childhood
horror for one Florida paramedic
By MICHAEL WARREN
Associated Press
Jason Kershanick was just
9 when he saw a huge alligator leap out of a lake and kill
his 4-year-old playmate in
their Florida neighborhood.
Now a 37-year-old paramedic firefighter, he remembers the gruesome attack
“like it was yesterday.” It hits
him hard every time a gator
kills someone else.
After an alligator snatched
a 2-year-old boy at a Walt Disney World resort this week,
Kershanick’s wife asked if he
wanted to talk. “I really don’t
want to relive it,” he told her.
He was just steps away
when a bull gator more than
10 feet long surged toward
Erin Lynn Glover as she
splashed through ankle-deep
water in Englewood, Florida.
It was June 1988, and kids at
the time didn’t worry much
about gators, even though the
town stood at the edge of the
Everglades.
As a child, he described
his friend’s last moments to
an Associated Press reporter. Game officers killed the
beast hours later, her body
still in its jaws.
He suspects few of the
tourists at Disney World realize the mortal danger that can
lurk wherever there’s freshwater in Florida.
“We never thought about
alligators either. When I was
younger, we went to those
lakes all the time,” Kershanick recalled. But “just
because you don’t see them
doesn’t mean they aren’t
there.”
Fatal attacks are rare, despite a gator population that
surpasses 1 million in the nation’s third-most populous
state. The death of Nebraska toddler Lane Graves on
Tuesday increases the tally to
24 since 1973, according to
the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission.
Alligators usually avoid humans unless someone feeds
them.
After Erin’s death, “I remember people said they
were pretty sure that they had
seen that alligator before and
that people were feeding it.
Whenever that happens,
that’s what brings them closer
to shore. If that’s happening,
that’s the real danger,” Kershanick said.

Teen receives more than 10,000 cards
BANGOR, Maine (AP) — A Massachusetts woman’s plea for people to send cards to her autistic cousin
has resulted in a flood of more than 10,000 greetings
from strangers.
Rebecca Guildford, of Oxford, posted a picture to
Facebook of her cousin, 18-year-old Hallee Sorenson
of Bangor, Maine, sitting alone in a bowling alley last
year for a birthday party that she said no one attended.
Guildford posted on Facebook asking for people to
make Sorenson’s 19th birthday memorable by sending her cards. The post was shared more than 200,000
times. Guildford says the response has been uplifting
and overwhelming.
Sorenson turns 19 next month. Her family is planning
a private gathering.
Officials investigating warehouse fire
NORWOOD, Mass. (AP) — State and local officials
are investigating the cause of a large fire that destroyed
a warehouse in Norwood that had been vacant for several decades.
The blaze ripped through the warehouse Thursday
morning. No injuries were reported.
Officials with the state fire marshal’s office say they
believe someone started the fire, but it’s not clear
whether it was intentional or an accident. Authorities
say homeless people may have been in the building.
A $5,000 reward is being offered for information that
helps investigators determine how the fire began.
Great white shark returns to Cape
CHATHAM, Mass. (AP) — A great white shark called
“Scratchy” has returned to ocean waters off Cape Cod.
The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy says the
13-foot-long male shark was detected near Monomoy
Island in Chatham last weekend and on Thursday morning by devices that read electronic tracking tags. Scratchy
was tagged last year.
It was the first detection of a great white shark off
Cape Cod this year. The first shark detection last year
was July 13.
Scratchy got its name for all the scratches from seals
it has.
The state Division of Marine Fisheries says researchers have tagged 80 white sharks off Cape Cod since 2009.
Bill mandating sneakers advances
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A provision to require
the military to provide American-made sneakers to personnel upon arrival at basic training has survived an attempt by a South Carolina lawmaker to remove it.
The House approved the defense spending bill on
Thursday after the provision survived a late challenge led
by South Carolina Rep. Mark Sanford, a Republican. Supporters led by Republican Rep. Bruce Poliquin of Maine
and Democratic Rep. Niki Tsongas of Massachusetts prevailed.
The provision applies the Berry Amendment to athletic
shoes. That amendment requires the defense department
to give preference to home-grown products.
The provision benefits New Balance, which employs
900 people at three Maine factories.
Both the House and Senate have included the provision
in their National Defense Authorization Act proposals,
but the Senate has yet to approve the defense funding bill.

PHILADELPHIA (AP)
— Philadelphia became
the first major American
city with a soda tax on
Thursday despite a multimillion-dollar campaign
by the beverage industry
to block it.
The City Council gave
final approval to a 1.5
cent-per-ounce tax on
sugary and diet beverages.
The tax is set to take effect Jan. 1.
Only Berkeley, California, has a similar law.
Soda tax proposals have
failed in more than 30 cities and states in recent
years, including twice in
Philadelphia. Such plans
are typically criticized
as disproportionately affecting the poor, who are
more likely to consume
sugary drinks.
Democratic Mayor Jim
Kenney sold the council
on the idea with a plan to
spend most of the estimated $90 million in new tax
revenue next year to pay
for prekindergarten, community schools and recreation centers.
“Thanks to the tireless
advocacy of educators,
parents, rec center volunteers and so many others, Philadelphia made a
historic investment in our
neighborhoods and in our
education system today,”
he said.
The tax, which passed
13-4, was a hard-fought
win for the city. The soda
industry spent millions
of dollars in advertising
against it, arguing it will
be costly to consumers.
The plan also attracted
national attention and
dollars, with former New
York
Mayor
Michael
Bloomberg and Texas billionaires John and Laura
Arnold, advocates for
less consumption of sugary drinks, funding ads in
support.
The American Beverage Association called the
soda tax “discriminatory
and highly unpopular.”
“The tax passed today
is a regressive tax that unfairly singles out beverages, including low- and nocalorie choices,” it said a
statement.
The association and
beverage bottling businessman Harold Honickman promised to fight the
tax in court, with Honickman saying the tax would
mean sales will go down
and jobs will be lost. He
said he could file a lawsuit
as soon as this weekend.
Teamsters Local 830
secretary-treasurer Daniel Grace agreed a legal
battle is ahead.
Many
communities
where soda tax proposals
have failed sought it as
a way to discourage consumers from buying sugary beverages for health
reasons.
The case could certainly
be made for a healthier
Philadelphia, where more
than 68 percent of adults
and 41 percent of children
are overweight or obese.
But Kenney focused on
public interest over public
health.
He said last week that
Americans generally reject other people telling
them what’s healthy for
them, so his administration tried to stay away
from that. He said any
health benefits coming
from the tax are a bonus.
Though the tax won’t
start getting collected until 2017, it will be included
in the fiscal budget that
starts July 1.
The tax will be levied on
distributors. If they pass
it entirely on to consumers, the cost of a 12-ounce
can of soda would go up
18 cents. A six-pack of
16-ounce bottles would
go up $1.44. Those extra
charges would be much
higher than the regular
sales taxes imposed on
soda by many states and
some other cities.
Some of the money
raised by the tax will go
to pay for city employee
benefits and pet projects
of council members and
to boost municipal budget
reserves.
Groups of pre-K students clustered outside
City Hall on Thursday
doing geyser experiments
with soda and Mentos,
and they gathered in the
hallway near chambers
with headbands reading
“Pre-K rocks!”
The No Philly Grocery
Tax group had a big display
on the plaza with stacks of
drinks and graphs showing how much consumers
will have to pay.
Body recovered after boat collision
COLCHESTER, Vt. (AP)
— The body of a missing
boater has been recovered
from Lake Champlain following a boat collision in Vermont.
Rescue crews found the
body of 60-year-old Rodney
Dion of Milton, Vermont,
on Thursday morning, after two power boats collided
Wednesday evening in Colchester.
One of the boats sank; the
other sustained heavy damage. Officials say a total of six
people were aboard the boats
at the time. Local respond-
ers rescued five and brought
them to shore. Police say one
person was injured and taken
to the hospital.
Rescue crews used sonar
and divers in their search for
Dion’s body. A Coast Guard
helicopter also was used.
The investigation into what
caused the collision is ongoing.

Viacom CEO’s tenure may be
up soon after board shake-up
LOS ANGELES (AP)
— Viacom CEO Philippe
Dauman may not have
much time left at the entertainment conglomerate.
National
Amusements,
the
theater
company
through which Sumner Redstone controls both Viacom
and CBS, said Thursday that
it has replaced Dauman and
four other directors on Viacom’s 11-member board.
The shake-up comes as
lawyers battle over whether
Redstone, 93, is mentally
competent to run the multibillion-dollar New Yorkbased media companies
Viacom Inc. and CBS Corp.
Frederic Salerno, the lead
independent director who
was among those ousted,
said in a statement the move
was “brazen and demonstrably invalid.” He pinned it on
Redstone’s daughter, Shari.
Salerno contends she is manipulating her father in a bid
to control his empire upon
his death.
National
Amusements
filed papers with a Delaware court to reaffirm the
move, to which Salerno immediately responded with
filings of his own. National
Amusements asked the
court to keep the current
board — including the ousted directors — temporarily
in place and prohibit it from
taking any unusual actions
until a final judgment.
The company also hinted
that Dauman’s CEO job
was on the line, although
he keeps it for now. National Amusements said it
will be up to the new board
to “take whatever steps it
deems appropriate” to ensure “strong, independent
and effective leadership.”
Dauman, the third highest-paid CEO in America
last year, has been criticized
by analysts and investors
alike for failing to keep up
with changes wrought by the
internet on Viacom’s TV
networks like Comedy Cen-
tral, MTV and Nickelodeon.
Viacom shares jumped
nearly 7 percent Thursday,
but are still down 49 percent
from their all-time highest
close of $88.90 in March
2014.
Among the new directors are Buzzfeed Chairman Kenneth Lerer; former
Discovery Communications
CEO Judith McHale; former DreamWorks SKG coCOO Ronald Nelson and
former Sony Entertainment
President Nicole Seligman. Along with Dauman,
George Abrams and Salerno, board members Blythe
McGarvie and William
Schwartz were removed.
SpringOwl Asset Management LLC, a small minority
shareholder that slammed
Viacom management in a
January presentation, said
in a statement “the board
has been significantly upgraded,” and it continued
to press for Dauman’s removal.

Stocks stage comeback late
day to end 5 days of losses
NEW YORK (AP) —
Stocks in the U.S. staged a late
afternoon rally to close moderately higher on Thursday, ending a five-day losing streak.
The Dow Jones industrial
average rose 92.93 points, or
0.5 percent, to 17,733.10. It
had been down more than 100
points earlier in the day. The
Standard & Poor’s 500 index
rose 6.49 points, or 0.3 percent,
to 2,077.99 and the Nasdaq
composite rose 9.98 points, or
0.2 percent, to 4,844.91.
Investors continued to focus on next week’s vote on
whether Britain would remain
a member of the European
Union. Overseas, Japanese
stocks plunged 3 percent after
the Bank of Japan decided not
to increase its economic stimu-
lus efforts.
Traders are bracing for a
tight race in the British vote on
June 23 on whether to leave
the EU. The Bank of England,
which kept its rates on hold as
well on Thursday, said a vote
to leave would likely result in
the pound dropping sharply. It
would also hurt spending and
investment.
“This is going to be a big
event. Up until a few weeks
ago, the markets were pricing
in a probability of the U.K.
leaving the EU at around
20 percent. Now the chance
is roughly 42 percent,” said
Richard Turnill, BlackRock’s
global chief investment strategist. “We are going to see significant volatility ahead of the
U.K. referendum.”

Dear PC Doctor:
I have an iPhone and

of Siri asking me what I

Siri voice and the program
can’t hear me. What’s happening? I have sound for
phone calls, music, etc.
Thanks.
Willa
Dear Willa:
Other iPhone users have
reported having similar
problems. Here’s something that sounds silly, but
that many people have had
success with. Turn Siri off.
Then, turn Siri on again.
It’s just like the old ‘unplug and count 30 seconds,
then plug back in.’
To turn Siri off, go to
Settings, and choose General. Choose Siri, and slide
it to off (so that no green
shows). Turn off your
phone. Give it a minute,
then turn the phone and
Siri back on.
If that doesn’t work, try
cleaning your iPhone’s
microphone with a can of
compressed air.
Until next time...happy
computing!
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) —
After days of turmoil in a city
that’s supposed to be a happy
paradise for tourists, residents
paused with the president and
vice president to mourn victims of the horrific massacre
at a gay nightclub.
Friends and relatives of
Kimberly “KJ” Morris, a
bouncer at Pulse Orlando,
gathered under a cemetery
awning to say goodbye to
the woman, one of 49 people
killed after Omar Mateen
began shooting into the pulsating, dancing crowd early
Sunday.
Jessica Frazier, 29, of Orlando was among the mourners at Morris’ funeral, held as
other shooting victims were
being cremated.
“She was always very positive, no matter what was going on,” Frazier said.
Elsewhere,
President
Barack Obama and Vice
President Joe Biden knelt to
place white flowers at a memorial to victims. They also
met privately with survivors
and victims’ families, the club
owner and staff, with Obama
telling them he was inspired
by their courage and felt their
pain.
“Our hearts are broken,
too,” the president said.
Awaiting the presidential
motorcade as temperatures
soared into the 90s, Breasia
Johnson reflected somberly
on friend Cory Connell, 21,
who died in the attack.
“I can’t believe he’s gone,”
she said.
The massacre was the
bloodiest event amid days of
horror in Orlando, which is
more accustomed to throngs
of out-of-town visitors than
tragedy. A 2-year-old Nebraska boy was attacked by
an alligator and killed at Walt
Disney World on Tuesday,
and 22-year-old Christina
Grimmie, a one-time contestant on NBC’s “The Voice,”
was shot dead days earlier
while signing autographs after a show by a man who then
killed himself.
In nearby Apopka, dozens
of people gathered Thursday
evening at a candlelight vigil
for victim Eddie Justice, who
texted his mother as he was
trapped in the Pulse bathroom.
Alison Moore, 53, saw Justice’s birth, and news of his
death hit her hard.
“It’s like a part of my heart
was missing. He and his sister
were my heart, and when he
died it took my heart away,”
she said.
Cindy Wilson, 48, said
Justice’s story, told through
his final text messages to his
mother, resonated.
“To see the text messages
he left for his mother — as
a mother, I don’t think I
could’ve handled that. It’s just
total devastation,” she said.
The rampage began at 2
a.m. and ended three hours
later with Mateen, an American-born Muslim described
as a club regular by other patrons, being killed by a police
SWAT team.
Mateen’s motive isn’t clear,
but a letter from the chairman of the Senate Homeland
Security Committee, Republican Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, said Mateen wrote
that “real muslims will never
accept the filthy ways of the
west” on Facebook. He also
pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, his ex-wife said
he was mentally ill and his father suggested that gays had
angered him.
The FBI said it is still gathering evidence at Pulse and
analyzing cellphone location
data to piece together Mateen’s activities leading up to
the massacre.
The owner of a gun shop
in Jensen Beach, a few miles
from the gunman’s hometown in Fort Pierce, told
reporters Mateen came in
roughly five weeks before the
nightclub shootings asking to
buy body armor and about
1,000 rounds of ammunition.
ST. ALBANS, Vt. (AP)
— A day after a former aide
acknowledged changing her
story about alleged sexual assaults committed by a Vermont lawmaker, a prosecutor
dismissed charges that could
have brought the politician
two life sentences.
It was a stunning conclusion
to suspended Sen. Norman
McAllister’s trial.
“Based on some information that came to light last evening that I’ve shared with the
defense and with the court, the
state is in the position to have
to dismiss,” Deputy State’s
Attorney Diane Wheeler told
Judge Robert Mello.
Mello then dismissed the
charges and said the court
would inform jurors their
services would no longer be
needed.
McAllister, who has pleaded not guilty in the case, still
faces a second trial on sex offenses involving two other
women. He declined to comment Thursday.
His first trial began Wednesday with the 21-year-old woman, who also worked at McAllister’s farm in Franklin and
later at the Statehouse, telling
jurors of repeated forced intercourse and oral sex at the
hands of the senator.
During his cross-examination, defense lawyer David
Williams got the woman to
acknowledge numerous instances in which she told strikingly different stories in her
initial interviews with police,
her later sworn statements in
pre-trial depositions and her
testimony to the jury.
In a frequently annoyed
tone, she answered “Correct,”
and “Yeah,” as Williams asked
her questions like, “You told
two spectacularly different stories, correct?”
Wheeler would not say what
new information had come to
light Wednesday evening to
cause her to drop the charges.
“I don’t want anything to affect any future trials,” she said.
Defense lawyer Brooks
McArthur said there was no
new revelation, merely a review by lawyers of the day’s
testimony.
“When they listened to her
testimony yesterday, reviewed
that testimony overnight, they
realized that they were going
to have a very difficult time
meeting their burden,” McArthur said.
The Associated Press generally doesn’t name people
who say they were sexually assaulted.
The 64-year-old lawmaker
from Franklin County has
maintained his innocence
since his arrest outside the
Statehouse in Montpelier on
May 7, 2015, a week before
the end of last year’s legislative
session.
McAllister was charged with
six counts. At the request of
the defense team, the court
last month agreed to hear the
charges in two separate trials.
Four charges — one of felony
sexual assault and three of
misdemeanor prohibited acts
— are expected to be tried in
the fall.
Wheeler asked the court to
schedule a hearing in about 30
days about the second trial so
lawyers can address scheduling and any other issues. One
of the two alleged victims in
that case has since died, and
McArthur said the defense
also would challenge the credibility of witnesses in that trial.
Two sex assault charges against Vermont
lawmaker are dismissed by prosecutor

Sagittarius Lunar Spirit The windup to Father’s Day happens under
the adventurous Sagittarius moon, calling up an expansive feeling
and a brave spirit of adventure. What’s over there? That’s the curious
call of this moon that has people looking for the greener grass on
the other side of the pasture. Whether or not it’s actually better “over
there” remains to be known. It’s a gamble. ARIES (March 21-April 19). You want important things, but you want
frivolous things, too, and those are the things that may take precedence, because you’re fun like that. As you indulge in the lighter side
of life, big issues are being resolved.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). People around you have money to
spend, and you’re just the one to tell them where to spend it. You
have ideas that will create a win-win for everyone. And your ability to
sell those ideas is particularly strong now.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Theoretical information excites your intellect, but how can you actually apply it to your life? You want change,
you want improvement and you want hands-on training. Bottom line:
You need a teacher who’s done this before.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll do more because you know
there’s more that needs doing. Also, you’ll hold out for the best, and
when you finally get to taste the thing you want, it will be wonderful.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If all you had to do was amuse yourself, how
would you get that done today? Something will happen to change the
game and make you think about your life a little differently.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re willing to push things a little further
than you were, because you sense that a relationship won’t grow until
after the shake-up. Ten percent more honesty will bring the healing.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s time you claimed what you’re good at,
because the others are not going to do you any favors in this regard.
You’re going to have to point the way. Maybe it’s arrogance, or maybe
just marketing.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your heart sends warm wishes and
welcoming affection. Your head is going to need a little longer to get
around to all these changes. Go gentle. It will all happen in good time.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Those who follow the crowd will
end up in crowded places. You’re a leader in this regard, so mostly
you’ll have the crowd rallying behind you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Cherish the people in your life who
make you more courageous because they feed you hope, paint you a
pretty picture of the future and help you feel good about all that you’re
bringing into the battle.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Perhaps you feel slightly reckless, but
paradoxically, this is just the kind of swagger that lets you take hold
of what’s really yours in this world and use it to the full advantage.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Losses can be blessings, pains can be
sources of great strength and the opposition is, of course, the best
reason to improve and become masterful. You’ll find yourself grateful.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 18). Do you have the feeling that destiny
is on your side? She is. Next month brings a lift and a bump to the
right career track. Your personal life is exciting in August because
new friends keep things fresh. September shows you lifestyle improvements. November settles a legal issue. Sagittarius and Aquarius
adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 28, 14, 33 and 19.

Murder suspect caught in Leominster
LEOMINSTER, Mass.
(AP) — The U.S. Marshals Service says it has
captured a Puerto Rico
murder suspect in Massachusetts.
Marshals and state police arrested 21-year-old
Ramon
Torres-Vazquez
without incident at a
Leominster
hotel
on
Thursday morning.
Authorities say he faces
charges including first-degree murder in connection
with a killing in Coamo,
Puerto Rico, in October
2014.
Marshals say he obtained a fake Massachusetts driver’s license and
was living under an alias.
He was tracked to the hotel after investigators in
Puerto Rico forwarded a
tip to the U.S. Marshals
Service office in Worcester.
He will be arraigned as
a fugitive from justice in
Massachusetts before being returned to Puerto
Rico. It was not clear if he
had a lawyer.

FILING IN — About 112 students graduated from Narragansett Middle School
on Monday. Photo by Tara Vocino
‘Gansett Class of ‘20 on to high school
By TARA VOCINO
Correspondent
TEMPLETON — After an
emotional tribute to the Orlando, Fla. shooting victims,
112 students moved on to high
school during an eighth grade
celebration at Narragansett
Middle School in the Safka auditorium on Monday.
Principal Dr. Peter J. Cushing addressed the crowd.
“Around the world, the enemies of the United States and
our allies for freedom, liberty
and justice have sworn pledges
against our beliefs. In the past
48 hours, a person who had
taken such a pledge committed an atrocity against our
citizenry. I ask the audience to
mark a moment of silence for
those individuals murdered in
the pursuit of hate and intolerance.”
The Narragansett Symphonic Winds played the National Anthem and recited
the Pledge of Allegiance. For
many parents, that tribute
stood out long after the celebration was over.
Eighty-one students will remain in the building, simply
cross the halls, and attend Narragansett High School. Thirtyone students will attend Montachusett Regional Vocational
Technical High School, Cushing said after the celebration.
Cushing recognized special
guests, including high school
vice principal Tom Miller,
outgoing principal John Jasinski, incoming principal Mandy
Vasil and incoming principal
John Vancelette.
Interim
superintendent
Dr. Steve Hemman encouraged students to participate in
school activities and to learn
time management skills.

encouraged students to treat
each other with kindness and
respect and to do the right
thing when no one is watching.
Next, Cushing introduced
student scholar leader Taniel Hood, a cross country and
track member. Hood will attend the high school next year,
and she hopes to turn her love
of animals to a career as a
veterinarian. Hood reflected
on her favorite memories, including a Washington, D.C.
field trip, spending time with
classmates, and having teachers who became mentors. She
congratulated her fellow graduates on whatever their next
step is, and she offered some
advice along the way.
“For those of you going to
Monty Tech or another school
next year, I wish you the best
of luck, and I will miss you,”
Hood said. “Also, try your best,
and always stay positive. For
those of you staying at Narragansett, I look forward to
spending another four years
with you and making more
memories, too.”
Cushing then introduced a
second student scholar leader,
Damian Comeau, an AllAmerican Pop Warner Scholar
who ranks in the top two percent of more than 400,000
students. His theme was “one
more,” explaining that those
two words represent 14 years
of trying harder, practicing
more, and his dedication to being the best.
Comeau said “one more”
represents him asking his father to play “one more” of
1-1 basketball game, “and
one more” late night studying
session with his mother. “She
encouraged me to practice my
vocabulary words ‘one more’
time,” he said. “Or to look
over my Odyssey notes ‘one
more’ time before the test. I
wouldn’t have done as well if I
didn’t study ‘one more’ time.”
His advice was wherever his
fellow students end up, just try
“one more” time.
Jennifer Degnan, Hood’s
mother, explained that the
scholar leader is an all-around
good student award. “She
does get As and Bs, but she’s
also friendly with everyone
— always willing to help out.
She’s good in athletics, and
her attendance is good.” Degnan said Hood joked that she
couldn’t sit up front since she
Young-adult
fiction writer
Duncan dies
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) —
Lois Duncan, a prolific writer
of suspense novels for young
adults who also chronicled
her decades-long inquiry into
the unsolved homicide of her
own daughter, has died. She
was 82.
Albuquerque-based private investigator Pat Caristo
said Thursday that Duncan
had died at her home near
Sarasota, Florida. Duncan’s
husband announced on Facebook that she had collapsed
in their kitchen on Wednesday.
Duncan was best known
for suspense novels for young
adult readers as well as children’s books that were among
nearly 50 published titles. Her
thriller “I Know What You
Did Last Summer” and kids
adventure “Hotel for Dogs”
were turned into movies.
Duncan moved to Albuquerque in 1962 and taught
magazine writing at the University of New Mexico.
didn’t want to see her cry. “I’m
one happy mom,” she said.
Hood said after she graduated that she’s proud and excited that she and others made
it through middle school.
Degnan said it was awesome to see professional and
informal school portraits from
5th to 8th grade during a slide
show presentation. “That’s a
side of them that we don’t get
to see,” Degnan said.
Damian’s mother, Tiffany,
said what stood out to her was
the tribute at the start of the
celebration. “That moment
moved me to tears,” Comeau
said. “That shows that Narragansett prides themselves on
being Americans and teaching
kids how to be patriotic. They
instill and reinforce what we
try to do at home.”
Comeau said that Narragansett does an amazing job
of making the children feel
special and not just routine
graduates.
After the celebration, Damian said that middle school took
a lot of hard work and that he’s
glad that it’s over, moving onto
high school.
Across the cafeteria, Rich
Marion, whose son, Hunter,
graduated, appreciated Damian’s theme of “one more.”
“He did a good job pulling it
all together and making a solid
point, especially at his age,”
Marion said. “I liked hearing
Taniel’s story of the school
friendships that she’s built over
the years.”
Like Comeau, Marion said
the school made the graduates
feel good about themselves.
“They recognized the students
for their achievements,” Marion said.
Teacher James Hannula
closed the ceremony by calling
Narragansett “the best kept
secret in Central Massachusetts.” “You’re surrounded by
good people, great teachers
and great leadership,” Hannula said. “Look to the right and
look to the left. They may go
to school elsewhere, but I challenge everyone to be the best
person you can be every single
day.”’
He joked that these students may be buying him coffee down the road. “Make me
proud,” Hannula said.
BALTIMORE (AP) — A
trial will move ahead on all
charges against a Baltimore
police officer charged in the
death of a black prisoner
whose neck was broken in a
police transport van, but the
judge said Thursday he has
questions about the most serious charge at the center of
the state’s case.
Judge Barry Williams said
the charge of second-degree
“depraved heart” murder
was “a closer call” than the
others. Yet after Officer
Caesar Goodson’s attorneys
moved to dismiss all charges, he declined.
Goodson’s
attorneys
made the request after prosecutors rested their case
Wednesday.
Defense attorney Andrew
Graham contended Thursday that prosecutors had
failed to prove Goodson,
the van driver, gave 25-yearold Freddie Gray a “rough
ride” as Gray was handcuffed and shackled on the
floor. Graham noted that
one of the state’s key witnesses, an expert on police
policy, couldn’t say for sure
whether he saw evidence of
a rough ride — police lingo
for putting a prisoner in a
police wagon without a seatbelt and driving so erratically that he or she is thrown
around.
The state “hasn’t introduced any proof at all,”
Graham told the judge.
But prosecutors cited
Goodson’s failure to get
Gray medical attention and
to seatbelt him in the van,
despite multiple opportunities at several stops.
“It’s at least five times,
your honor,” Michael Schatzow, chief deputy state’s attorney said, referring to the
number of times Gray could
have been seat-belted.
Goodson, 46, also faces
manslaughter, assault, misconduct in office and reckless endangerment charges.
His attorneys will now
move forward with his defense on the sixth day of the
trial.
On Wednesday, Williams
ruled prosecutors violated
discovery rules when they
failed to give the defense
a detective’s notes that indicate an assistant medical
examiner at one point considered Gray’s death might
have been an accident. That
could contradict earlier testimony from Dr. Carol Allen, who determined Gray’s
death was a homicide and
not an accident.
The
discovery
violation comes after Williams
asked prosecutors to review
their files for evidence they
hadn’t disclosed to the defense. The judge had found
prosecutors violated discovery rules about information
concerning a witness in an
earlier case.

Inmate indicted Globe calls for assault weapons bans
BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Globe has made an imon threat to kill passioned
plea for a federal assault weapons ban with a
special four-page opinion section wrapped around the daily
Pres. Obama
newspaper.
BOSTON (AP) — A Massachusetts state prison inmate
has been indicted on a federal
charge of threatening to kill
President Barack Obama.
The Boston Globe reports that 31-year-old Alex
Hernandez was indicted on
Thursday. He’s scheduled to
be arraigned Tuesday in Boston. His public defender says
he will plead not guilty.
Federal agents launched
an investigation March 2015
after Hernandez, an inmate
at Old Colony Correctional
Center in Bridgewater, allegedly told another inmate
he wanted to kill the president in a “lone-wolf style attack.” Hernandez allegedly
said he wanted to “become a
mujahedeen,” or holy warrior,
and get false travel documents
to flee the country after the attack.
Authorities say Hernandez
had images in his prison cell of
late al-Qaida chief Osama bin
Laden and Islamic State militants holding assault weapons. St. Mary’s Parish Center

much larger outline of life-size exit wound caused by a bullet

The editorial says “A sensible, mature society recognizes
that extreme, destructive positions in the name of constitutional absolutism is just another form of fundamentalism,”
and criticized the National Rifle Association for its “blinkered fanaticism.”
Boston fugitive caught in No. Carolina
BOSTON (AP) — A former Massachusetts man has been
arrested in North Carolina after being a fugitive from child
rape charges for more than two decades.
John Joseph Hartin was wanted for allegedly sexually
abusing two boys he befriended in the Boston area in 1993.
Hartin fled after being charged with five counts of child rape.
In 2012, the FBI ran a multi-state media campaign and offered a reward of up to $25,000 in the case.
The FBI and Boston police said Thursday that they learned
Hartin was living in Walkertown, North Carolina, under the
assumed name of Jay Matthew Carter. The 46-year-old Hartin was arrested at his home Wednesday.
Authorities are seeking Hartin’s extradition from North
Carolina. It’s not clear if he has a lawyer who could respond
to the allegations.
Aspiring journalist wins scholarship
LENOX, Mass. (AP) — A Lenox Memorial High School
graduate who plans to pursue a career in journalism so she
can “stand against global human rights violations,” has been
named the 2016 recipient of the Daniel Pearl Berkshire
Scholarship.
Sydney Claire King, a member of the National Honor Society, has been accepted to McGill University in Montreal to
study political science and communications.
The $1,000 scholarship is named for the former chief of
the Wall Street Journal’s South Asia bureau who was kidnapped and murdered in Pakistan in January 2002 while researching a story on Islamic extremism.
It was established by The Berkshire Eagle and the defunct
North Adams Transcript, the Massachusetts newspapers
where Pearl launched his journalism career.

Sen. McCain says Obama ‘directly
responsible’ for Orlando shooting
By ERICA WERNER
AP Congressional Correspondent
WASHINGTON
(AP)
— Republican Sen. John
McCain said Thursday that
President Barack Obama is
“directly responsible” for the
mass shooting in Orlando,
Florida, because of the rise of
the Islamic State group on the
president’s watch. But he later
issued a statement saying that
he “misspoke.”
“I did not mean to imply
that the president was personally responsible. I was referring to President Obama’s
national security decisions,
not the president himself,”
McCain said in his statement,
issued as his initial comments
were drawing heated criticism
from Democrats.
McCain, who lost to Obama
in the 2008 presidential election, spoke to reporters in
the Capitol Thursday while
Obama was in Orlando visiting with the families of those
killed in Sunday’s attack and
some of the survivors.
“Barack Obama is directly
responsible for it, because
when he pulled everybody
out of Iraq, al-Qaida went to
Syria, became ISIS, and ISIS
is what it is today thanks to
Barack Obama’s failures, utter failures, by pulling everybody out of Iraq,” a visibly angry McCain said as the Senate
debated a spending bill.
“So the responsibility for
it lies with President Barack
Obama and his failed policies,” McCain said.
The gunman, Omar Mateen, killed 49 people and
injured more than 50 in the
attack at a gay nightclub. The
29-year-old Muslim born in
New York made calls during
the attack saying he was a supporter of the Islamic State.
But he also spoke about an
Obama’s decision to completely withdraw U.S. troops
from Iraq in 2011 led to the
rise of ISIL. I and others have
long warned that the failure
of the president’s policy to
deny ISIL safe haven would
allow the terrorist organization to inspire, plan, direct or
conduct attacks on the United
States and Europe as they
have done in Paris, Brussels,
San Bernardino and now Orlando.”
Democrats quickly pounced
on McCain’s criticism.
Adam Jentleson, a spokesJohn McCain,
man for Senate Minority
Barack Obama
Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.,
said McCain’s “unhinged
Trump also has suggested that comments are just the latest
Obama himself might sympa- proof that Senate Republicans are puppets of Donald
thize with radical elements.
Democrats
criticized Trump.”
Trump and some Republicans
tried to distance themselves
from his remarks.
McCain is seeking a sixth
Senate term from Arizona
SPRINGFIELD,
Mass.
and is locked in a tight race.
He has a Republican primary (AP) — Jury selection in the
