ORANGE — Jason
Sullivan-Flynn, new children’s librarian at Wheeler
Memorial Library, saw a
unique opportunity in Orange to service the community through an array of
enrichment programming.
Two months into his
tenure,
Sullivan-Flynn
has worked to perfect
the two weekly children’s
programs, ensuring their
alignment with community needs by supplementing his own observations
with input from town and
school officials, and the
family-support
agency
Valuing Our Children.
“The more you learn about
the community, the better
you can craft programs to
meet the needs of the community,” he said, adding,
“The library doesn’t operate in a vacuum.”
The former youth services coordinator at Levi Heywood Memorial Library in
Gardner, Sullivan-Flynn

Me Storytime,” and “Rise

Police in the central Massachusetts town are now

Athol-Royalston Regional School District
welcomes Leander back into the fold
By KEITH KENT
ADN Correspondent
ATHOL — In what former Royalston Community
School Principal Michael
Leander has called a dream
come true, the Athol Royalston Regional School District is pleased to announce
that not only is Leander
returning to the district,
but has been chosen from a
competitive field of highly
qualified candidates to become the inaugural principal of the Athol Community
Elementary School (ACES).
Leander returns from a
two-year absence, after accepting the position of principal at the North Brookfield Elementary School.
Previously teaching and
coaching in the ARRSD
for 15 years, Leander made
it no secret where his heart
was truly located when in his
closing remarks to the Athol
Daily News upon his departure included, “If the right
situation arises, I would return to the district without
a second thought” and “Go
Red Raiders!”
Repeatedly calling this
development a “dream
come true” Leander will
lead the new $43 million elementary school, scheduled
to be completed in June,
and opened in August. It
will have a capacity of up to
550 students. Leander stated, “This is
a wonderful opportunity to
re-join the Athol-Royalston
team as we continue to
move the district forward.
I am excited to be back in
a community where spent I

so much of my career, and I
am really looking forward to
the opening of a brand new
school!”
Acting
Superintendent
Steven Meyer said, “We are
very fortunate to have Mr.
Leander joining us as we
open a brand new school.
His commitment to the students, his positive energy,
and his ability to effectively
use technology make him
the perfect leader for this
state-of-the-art facility.”
ARRSC Chair Nancy
Melbourne said, “I am very
happy to have Michael Leander back in the district.
He worked very hard on
the Turnaround Plan. He
worked very hard with the
schools to get everything implemented and I think it will
be a very nice fit between
both he and the families he
has already touched.”
Commenting on this new
chapter in his career, Leander said, “Even just talking
to the Athol Daily News
about this is really driving
it home for me. This is so
emotionally powerful for

JB Modern Print opened

In addition to screen

business also does heat

added, “Most of the customers do the screen printing
because it’s ‘in the fabric’
and doesn’t come out.”

WORKS IN PASTEL — Spending time in rural Egypt a number of years ago, Laurie
Neely of Orange fell in love with the people and animals as they carried out their daily
tasks. The five on exhibit at the Athol Public Library are the first of what will become
a larger series of Egyptian scenes. In painting animals, especially portraits of beloved
pets, Neely strives to capture the “animation” in their eyes and poses. “When my subjects come alive to me...peering back at me from the paper...I know I’m on the right
track. I honestly fall in love with every one I paint.” This exhibit will be on view in the
conference room of the APL through March 29, and is free and open to the public.

Orange census forms were
mailed to all residents of the
town in January. Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter
51, Section 4 requires that
the name, date of birth, occupation, nationality (if not
a U.S. citizen), current address and address on Jan.
1, 2016, be obtained for all
residents. Failure to respond to the
census shall result in removal from the active voter list

HIV diminished, but it’s not gone
W
hile the Zika virus is fading
from the headlines, another
threat is still quietly lurking, right
here.
HIV, the human immunodeficiency
virus, causes AIDS, which has been
linked to more than 600,000 deaths
in America since it first bloomed in
the 1980s.
Neither HIV nor AIDS have gone
away; more than 12,000 Americans
died of AIDS-related causes in 2012.
Now, however, HIV is not a sentence to a lingering, wasting death.
With proper drugs — rather expensive drugs, mind you — people carrying the HIV virus can lead healthy
lives for decades without developing
AIDS.
The key, of course, is knowing
that you’re a carrier, so you can be
treated. Therein lies a paradox. The
populations most likely to carry HIV
— intravenous drug users and those
engaging in unprotected, hazardous
sex — are not the most likely to look
after their health. Many don’t have
health insurance.
This is not a faraway problem.
Health officials estimate that nearly
600 New Hanover County residents
have HIV or AIDS, putting us in the
top 10 counties in the state. (Brunswick and Pender counties trail, with a
total of slightly more than 200 cases.)
Fortunately, New Hanover County
health officials have been carrying
out an aggressive program to screen
people in homeless shelters, rehab
centers and other facilities. Jail inmates — a population especially at
risk — are being encouraged to take
the test with incentives as cheap and
simple as new socks or T-shirts.
Good on the New Hanover County
Health Department. Their supervisors — and the county commissioners who fund them — must not allow
these efforts to ebb.
We’ve already seen this year how
a bipartisan coalition, trying to save
money, gutted the state’s mosquitocontrol programs — just as mosquito-borne Zika popped up on the public’s radar. The General Assembly
will be reconvening soon; fixing this
will be a worthwhile chore.
AIDS, meanwhile, flutters in the
background like a ghost.
New HIV cases still pop up in
county, as many as 10 a year. That’s
not many, but right now, we’re seeing a disturbing upsurge in heroin
use. With a new epidemic of addiction, and less use of condoms as the
AIDS scare fades, we could again see
an epidemic like the one that took so
many lives in the 1980s.
It’s folly to say that the people who
catch this virus deserve it. Germs
have no morality. Those with HIV
can infect innocent people: spouses,
fiances, children.
We have to keep testing, and we
have to keep funding a strong clinical
response. Too much is at stake.

EPA faults state
in Flint crisis
By MATTHEW DALY

Dad is disturbed by his ex’s
revolving door relationships
DEAR ABBY: I was
in a six-year relationship
with a woman. We shared
a home and have a child
together, whom I support.
She has primary custody,
and I provide financial
support and exercise my
visitations regularly.
We broke up six months
ago and she immediately
moved a man into the
house. Since they split up,
she has done this again
with a new person.
I have moved on and
am content being single
and focusing on my career and parenting my son
when he’s with me. Where
I struggle is when these
new men want to meet
me. I don’t feel obligated
to shake their hands, be
polite and friendly or be a
supportive, smiling face.
I’m disturbed by the
speed she moves into
other relationships. I feel
like it sets a bad example
for my son regardless of
how “nice” these men
are. There is no record
of abuse, and I do believe
my ex is a good mother,
just maybe lonely and very
dependent on having companionship.
I understand life goes on
and people move on, but
at what point is this unhealthy? Am I wrong for
not wanting to be friends
with my ex and her new
“guy friend” whenever she
decides she should be accompanied for custody exchange? I refuse to speak
to or acknowledge these
men. I am not confrontational, but I literally have
nothing to say. Any advice
how to handle this moving forward? — FAKING
SMILES
DEAR
FAKING
SMILES: I subscribe to
the philosophy that one
can never have enough
friends. You don’t have to
approve of your ex’s boyfriends, but it is in your
child’s best interest to
maintain a relationship
that approximates cordiality. It won’t hurt you to
shake hands and be on a
first-name basis with the
men who occupy space in
your son’s life even temporarily. When we can’t
change something, sometimes we have to accept
it — and that’s what you
would be wise to do.
******
DEAR ABBY: I’m sure
there are many others who
would like to know this:
I’m trying to downsize. I
have a World Book Encyclopedia set from the ‘70s,
plus yearbooks I’d like to
find a home for. My kids
are gone and living on
their own, and the books
haven’t been opened in
years. I refuse to throw
them in the recycling bin.
Any ideas? — JOY IN
NEW YORK
DEAR JOY: I did a
quick search online to see
what other people might
be doing with their old
encyclopedias. A solution
popped up that might help
you: Immigrants who are
learning English as a second language may be able
to use them if you offer
them in a yard sale. A high
school in your area might
also be able to use them.

WASHINGTON (AP)
— Michigan Gov. Rick
Snyder
on
Thursday
blamed career bureaucrats in Washington and
his own state for the Flint
water-contamination crisis, while the head of the
federal
Environmental
Protection Agency faulted
him and other state officials.
At a contentious congressional hearing, the
Republican governor repeatedly apologized for
his role in the crisis, which
occurred when state officials switched Flint’s water
supply to the Flint River
two years ago to save money in the predominantly
African-American city of
100,000 north of Detroit.
“Not a day or night
goes by that this tragedy
doesn’t weigh on my mind
— the questions I should
have asked, the answers I
should have demanded,”
Snyder said.
EPA
Administrator
Gina McCarthy, for her
part, faulted state officials, noting that the impoverished city was under
state management when
the city’s water supply was
switched in April 2014.
State officials did not
require that the river water be treated for corrosion, and lead from aging
pipes and fixtures leached
into Flint homes and businesses. About 8,000 children under the age of 6
were potentially exposed
to lead, and elevated lead
levels have been found in
at least 221 children and
104 adults in Flint. Lead
contamination has been
linked to learning disabilities and other problems.
“The crisis we’re seeing
was the result of a stateappointed
emergency
manager deciding that the
city would stop purchasing treated drinking water
and instead switch to an
untreated source to save
money,” McCarthy said.
“The state of Michigan
approved that decision.”
Obama admin using unpopular
raids to curb border crossings
By ALICIA A. CALDWELL
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) —
The Obama administration is
openly stepping up efforts to
find and deport immigrants
who were part of the 2014
surge of illegal crossings by
unaccompanied children and
families.
The politically fraught endeavor is a follow-through on a
nearly 2-year-old warning that
those immigrants who don’t
win permission to stay in the
United States would be sent
packing. It comes at a time
when Republican presidential
candidates are pushing for
tougher immigration action.
Homeland Security officials
have kept a wary eye on the
border since more than 68,000
unaccompanied children and
roughly as many people traveling as families were caught
crossing the border illegally
in 2014. The effort to step up
enforcement against families
and young immigrants started
in the midst of a new flood of
such immigrants.
Previous efforts to curb illegal crossings seemed to work
initially, as the number of
children and families crossing
illegally dropped about 40 percent between 2014 and 2015.
But that number started to rise
again late last summer. At the
same time, the immigration
court system faced a backlog
of more than 474,000 cases of
unaccompanied child immigrants.
Now the Obama administration is touting its efforts
to find and deport families as
well as those unaccompanied
children who are now adults
who have been ordered home.
Homeland Security Secretary
Jeh Johnson has highlighted
his department’s deportation
efforts.
One of those unaccompanied children-turned-adults
targeted by Immigration
and Customs Enforcement
is 19-year-old Wildin David
Guillen Acosta. He said he
came to the United States
from Honduras by bus, car and
on foot after a gang member
threatened to kill him.
“I wouldn’t go out at night.
He’d call me and say, ‘I’m going to kill you, I’m going to kill
you,’ “ Acosta said in Spanish.
“I told my mother and she
told me to come to the United
States.”
Acosta, speaking from an
immigration jail in rural Georgia, said he was afraid to go
home.
“I’m scared. I don’t want to
go back. There’s a lot of violence, a lot of death,” Acosta
said. “They’ll kill you for a telephone. How is this possible?”
His mother, Dilsia Acosta,
said her son came to the U.S.
in June 2014 at the peak of a
wave of immigrant children.
His father, Hector Guillen,
came to the United States illegally in 2005 and his mother
followed in 2013. Wildin Acosta was arrested in January after
a judge ruled that he should be
deported.
Wildin Acosta, who had
been going to school and
working since arriving in North
Carolina, said now he hopes to
win asylum. But the odds are
against him because he has a
pending deportation order.
EFFORTS INCREASED — In this photo taken
March 2, Hector Guillen is seen in Durham, N.C.

Immigration advocates have
rallied around Wildin Acosta
and others and are pressing
the administration to reverse
course.
But U.S. Immigrations and
Customs Enforcement isn’t
backing down.
Since October, more than
800 immigrants who arrived as
unaccompanied children have
been sent home, according to
ICE statistics. Other formerly
unaccompanied child immigrants with pending deportation orders have been detained
in preparation for deportation.
ICE’s head of enforcement
operations, Tom Homan, told
Congress in February that his
agents are aggressively pursuing unaccompanied formerchild immigrants and families.
“We have sent out thousands of leads on (unaccompanied children) who have final
orders issued by the immigration courts, some in absentia,
some in person, and we are
out looking for those leads,”
Homan told lawmakers. “I
have 129 (fugitive operations)
teams out there every day.”
About 10,000 unaccompanied children have been ordered out of the country since
July 2014, but roughly 87 percent of those orders were issued in absentia, according to
Justice Department figures.
In early January, DHS
started targeting families who
had lost their bid to stay in
the United States, and ICE
announced the arrests of 121
people — more than half of
whom have been sent home
so far.
Connecticut casino study
fails to clear legislative panel
HARTFORD,
Conn.
(AP) — Connecticut lawmakers are not going to pursue a state study of a proposed third casino.
A motion to refer the bill
from the Commerce Committee to the Finance Revenue and Bonding Committee failed Thursday by a vote
of 11-7. That vote means the
study will not move forward.
Leaders of the Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan
tribes had urged lawmakers
to defeat the bill, predicting
it could delay their plans to
Johnson said the arrests
should come as no surprise
since he announced in late
2014 that new border crossers
were an enforcement priority.
“We do not have, and cannot have, an open border so
we have to have enforcement
at the border,” Johnson told
open a casino in northern
Connecticut to compete
with a planned $950 million casino in Springfield,
Massachusetts. The tribes
are still reviewing potential
sites.

co-chairman, was the bill’s
chief proponent. He argued
the proposed study would
not affect the tribes’ plans,
but rather help lawmakers
make an informed decision
on whether to ultimately approve the casino.
The Associated Press. “Are enforcement actions against families pleasant? No, of course
not. In a very personal way, I
recognize that.”
Nonetheless, he added, “We
have to enforce the law.”
The arrests have angered
immigration advocates and
Democrats who argue it is
dangerous to send families
and young immigrants back to
dangerous and impoverished
Central American countries.
And the efforts come at a
complicated time for Democratic presidential candidates
Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders, who are both vying for the Hispanic vote.
Clinton and Sanders have
both denounced the January
arrests of families and promised to be more lenient in enforcing immigration laws than
President Barack Obama.
Kevin Appleby, director of
international migration policy
for the Center for Migration
Studies, said the administration is “caught in a difficult
spot.”

was able to come back for
the honor society last year
for the 8th grade, and I told
the kids that all you have to
do is ask me, and I will be
there for you. Even though
I was around for things, I
still felt I was missing out
on helping our district to
get to where it needed to
be.” Asked what he would like
to tell the parents and students of the district, he said,
“I want them to know that
once I step foot in there on
July 1, their children become
the center of my world. I do
everything for every kid no
matter what time it is. Once
they are entrusted to me I
hold that responsibility very
highly. No matter if they are
25 or 26 and they are getting married, or if they are
22 and going through some
difficulty, they will always be
dear to me and I will always
be there to help them out.
I love the community and
I can’t wait to be part of it
again and Athol just means
so much to me. I struggle to
put into words the feeling I
have for what the community has done for me. The
parents, the children, the
teachers, to be a part of that
for the 15 years I was there
is just nothing short of incredible.”
In closing Leander said,
“This is an incredibly powerful feeling. I just can’t
wait, this is exactly what I
want to be doing. These are
the exact children I want
to be working with, and it
doesn’t get any better in life
than being able to do exactly what you want to do.
To open a brand new school
in the place where you truly
want to be is a dream come
true. We are going to have
fun every single day, and I
want the parents and their
children to be proud they
are coming to our school.”
Life and the hands which
can be dealt from it are often compared by many to a
game of cards and knowing
how to play them right. For
Leander his dream has come
true as those cards have now
come up all ACES. Funding
the town’s capital needs and
not to determine the funding
sources.
Commenting Thursday on
the total of recommended
requests exceeding the funding available, excluding the
transfers, Suhoski said, in
part, “The role of the CPC
is to make recommendations
they deem in the best interest
of the community and I think
they did an excellent job balancing many requests for
funds.”
Suhoski added, “The
town’s financial policies adopted in October 2014 established — for the first time
— a written minimum target
for funding capital requests,
namely, an amount equal to
two percent of the prior year
general operating budget. In
reality, the town would benefit from substantially more
capital investment and it remains a goal to build the capital program over the coming
years. “For FY17, the $308,528
is roughly $35,000 above the
minimum target which is proposed to come from free
cash...At this time, we anticipate that roughly $14,000
in unexpended capital funds
[from previous years] will
help cover the shortfall. It
may be possible to allocate
additional free cash towards
capital to cover the remaining $21,000 in approved
items, but, we are still in contract negotiations with four
unions, still awaiting House
and Senate versions of the
state budget and aid projections, awaiting more information on potential retirement
payouts, and reviewing sev-

ized his list of performers,
Sullivan-Flynn continues to
iron out the program’s finer
aspects, including “how kids
will log reading, how to incentivize reading, and how
crafts and activities will run
in addition to the larger program.”
With the start of summer,
volunteers will also begin
tending to the library’s vegetable and flower garden. Sullivan-Flynn said this marks
the first time he has worked
at a library with a garden, and
he plans to take full advantage of the resource.
Sullivan-Flynn said he has
consulted with Deb Habib of
Seeds of Solidarity and Diane Salcedo, a former library
employee and the owner of
Maple Valley Farm. He anticipates donations of plants
and seeds, with the goal of
preparing the garden for use
by the community.
Sullivan-Flynn also hopes
to offer a variety of gardenthemed programs, which
could include crafts, planting
projects and puppet shows.
“I think the garden can be
wildly successful,” he said.

children’s programs at the

“It’s imperative in Orange
to perform as much outreach
as possible,” he said.
Sullivan-Flynn has simultaneously expanded programming for children up to age
12, including a recent “Adopt
A Stuffed Pet” workshop
over February vacation, and
seven sessions for assembling
friendship bracelets to be
held during April vacation.
In addition, young readers
who successfully complete
the “Find Flora the Frog”
scavenger hunt and then
check out one book can claim
a prize.
The scheduling of these
programs is in keeping with
Sullivan-Flynn’s broader goal
of cementing the library as “a
regular destination for recreation and education” within
the community.
Sullivan-Flynn came to appreciate the value of library
programming in cognitive
development while serving
as stay-at-home parent to his
two young children, now 8
and 10. Regular visits to the
library coincided with Sullivan Flynn completing online
coursework for his master of
library science from Central
Connecticut State University.
Prior to earning his master
of library science, SullivanFlynn trained as a teacher at
UMass Amherst, and earned
a master of arts at Tufts University.
Now more acquainted to
his position and the community, Sullivan-Flynn said he
has shifted focus to the planning of the library’s annual
summer reading program,
this year themed “On Your
Mark, Get Set, Go Read.”
The program includes a
significant cultural component, with a full slate of performers entertaining children
and their families outside the
library throughout the summer.

Water-based ink can also

Items that can be printed

And that means everything
from T-shirts to long-sleeved
shirts to hooded sweatshirts,
jackets, hats, blankets and
bikinis. Referring to the latter, he said, “I’ve done a lot
of bikinis in Florida, too!”
Those bikinis, Barnicle
noted, were primarily promotional items handed out
at drinking establishments.

in the Children’s Room,
these early literacy programs

from birth to age 5, he said.
The Tuesday Rise and
Romp Storytime for 2- to
5-year-olds takes place in a
condensed 45-minute time
frame from 10:30 to 11:15,
consisting of an immersive
reading of a picture book,
songs, fingerplays and dances, before concluding with a
craft.
Examples of teaching vehicles are the Hokey-Pokey
dance, “Itsy Bitsy Spider” fingerplay, and “Car-Car” song
by Peter, Paul and Mary, Sullivan-Flynn said. The rhythmic use of shakers with bells
and egg-shaped rattles helps
to amplify children’s attentiveness and fosters activelistening skills, he said.
Participants may choose
to create a rendering of the
model craft provided by
Sullivan-Flynn, or to exercise
their artistic license, which he
said, “is better than having a
driver’s license.”
The Baby and Me Storytime, held every Monday
from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., offers initial exposure to literacy instruction, and encourages socialization between
parent and child. During this
lap-sit storytime, birth age to
36-month-old children sing
songs, engage in rhyming and
bouncing, and participate in
finger plays to develop fine
motor skills, with sufficient
time allotted at the end for
free play.
Both programs have seen
a recent spike in attendance,
Sullivan-Flynn said.

Zags advance with defeat of Seton Hall
By EDDIE PELLS
AP National Writer
DENVER (AP) — Two losses
in the span of three games can
send the world off its axis at Gonzaga.
That was February. This is
March.
Not only did the Zags make
their 18th straight NCAA Tournament, they’re moving on, thanks
to a pullaway 68-52 victory over
Seton Hall on Thursday night
that looked every bit as good as
anything this program’s done.
This victory came thanks to a
21-point, 16-rebound effort from
Domantas Sabonis and a shutdown defensive effort on Seton
Hall’s Isaiah Whitehead. It marks
the eighth straight time Gonzaga
has won its first game of March
Madness.
“This group of guys, as well as
the guys before them, have just
done an unbelievable job of making streaks that just seemed impossible when you look back at
them,” coach Mark Few said.
In the bracket, this one goes
down as an upset. Gonzaga (27-7)
was an 11 seed, while Seton Hall
(25-9) was a 6. Vegas knew bet-
Kentucky routs
Stony Brook 85-57,
gets Indiana next
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) —
Maybe John Calipari was onto
something when he suggested
Kentucky was under-seeded.
Jamal Murray led five players
in double figures with 19 points
and the fourth-seeded Wildcats,
behind an NCAA Tournamentrecord 15 blocked shots, routed
Stony Brook 85-57 on Thursday
night to set up a showdown with
rival Indiana in the second round
on Saturday.
Isaiah Briscoe scored 13 and
added 11 rebounds for the Wildcats (27-8), who haven’t faced the
Hoosiers since beating them in the
Sweet 16 in 2012. Indiana is seeded fifth this time around, making
for an opening-week meeting for
the two blue-blood programs.
“It’s kind of unfortunate that
this game is being played this
early. It should be a round or two
later. But it is what it is and we’ll
have to play,” Calipari said.
Kentucky opened the second
half on a 20-6 run and was ahead
53-25 with 14 minutes to go. The
Wildcats hit 13 of their first 16
shots after the break.
Jameel Warney had 23 points
and 15 rebounds for Stony Brook
(26-7), which was making its first
NCAA Tournament appearance.
The Seawolves, who shot 47.6 percent entering the game, was just
20 of 76 from the field and played
like a team not used to the big
stage.
“You can do all the drills and
try to go around them. But they’re
just so big and athletic,” Stony
Brook guard Rayshaun McGrew
said.
Stony Brook opened the game
with an epic stretch of bad shooting, hitting just three baskets in 27
tries with 14 straight misses at one
point. That allowed the somewhat
disjointed Wildcats to pull things
together and take a 33-19 lead
into halftime.
Having survived some rough
moments with the lead in hand,
Kentucky finally started playing
like the team that won a share of
the Southeastern Conference title
yet again.
Murray, who went a ghastly 1 of
9 in the first half, scored 15 points
in 10 minutes to help the Wildcats
coast to a win that ensures a fresh
shot at Indiana, which cruised past
Chattanooga 99-74 earlier Thursday.
ter; the Zags opened the week as
a 1-point favorite.
Favored or not, Gonzaga was
no sure thing to make the tournament until it won the West
Coast Conference tournament
last week. It looked particularly
bleak after a Feb. 20 loss at home
St. Mary’s. It was Gonzaga’s second 1-2 stretch in the span of five
weeks, and it marked the Zags’
seventh defeat of the season. At
that point, they were a bubble
team, at best.
They haven’t lost since and,
suddenly, this looks like the sort
of Gonzaga team hoops fans —
and everyone else — have come
to know during March.
“They’re a good basketball
team. You know, a really good
basketball team,” Seton Hall
coach Kevin Willard said.
The team’s leading scorer, Kyle
Wiltjer, had an off shooting night
— 5 for 14 — and finished with
13 points.
But the Bulldogs are more than
one player.
They started relying on Sabonis more when their premier
big man, Przemek Karnowski,
went out with a back injury in
December. On Thursday, Sabonis took over early and never let
up. He was a force in the post,
but also stepped outside for a
few mid-range jumpers. Nobody
could beat him on the glass. This
marked his 21st double-double of
the season.
“He was much more physical
than he looked on film,” Willard said. “He battled in there. I
thought he did a really good job
of being physical on the rebounding aspect. That’s what I was really impressed with him about.”
Gonzaga guards Josh Perkins
and Eric McClellan, maligned for
a large part of this season, helped
put the hammer down on Whitehead, who had scored 130 points
over his last five games — 70 of
those in the three wins that gave
Seton Hall its first Big East tournament title since 1993.
Whitehead’s numbers on this
night: 10 points on 4-for-24
shooting, including 0 for 10 from
3-point range.
“I think the common theme
was just making it tough (on
him),” Wiljter said.
Whitehead insisted it wasn’t all
Gonzaga.
“I’ve faced some of the toughest defensive groups in the country, playing in the Big East,”
Whitehead said. “This is probably
my worst shooting performance
but I think it was just more missing shots. I had some good looks,
just was an off night.”
It came on the worst night
possible for the Pirates — and
wrapped up a day in which seven
of 16 higher-seeded teams won,
including two 11s and two 12s.
TIP INS
Gonzaga: Perkins finished with
seven points, seven assists and
three steals. ... Sabonis also had
four assists and a steal.
Seton Hall: Derrick Gordon
became the first player to play in
the tournament for three different programs. Western Kentucky
and UMass were the others. Gordon finished with 10 points. ...
Forward Ismael Sanogo suffered
a dislocated right shoulder with
4:22 left. He went to the locker
room and didn’t return, but Willard said he should be fine.

Providence beats USC 70-69
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) —
Providence expected Southern
California to focus on stopping
either the Big East’s player
of the year, or perhaps that
league’s top scorer.
Not Rodney Bullock.
So with a critical inbounds
pass in the final seconds, the
Friars slipped Bullock under the
bucket and he hit the shot that
kept them in the NCAA Tournament.
Bullock’s layup with 1.5 seconds left helped Providence
beat USC 70-69 on Thursday
night in the first round.
The reason Bullock was so
open was because Big East player of the year Kris Dunn and top
scorer Ben Bentil drew so much
of the Trojans’ attention.
“Kris is a focal point, Ben’s
a focal point and you take advantage of what the defense
gives you,” Providence coach
Ed Cooley said. “On this stage,
to end the game like that, that’s
that one shining moment.”
Bentil scored 19 points and
Bullock finished with 16 points
and 10 rebounds to help the
ninth-seeded Friars (24-10)
earn their first win in the tournament since 1997. They will
face top-seeded North Carolina
(29-6) on Saturday in the second
round of the East Regional.
Jordan McLaughlin had 15
points for eighth-seeded Southern California (21-13), which
missed the front ends of two
one-and-ones in the final minute.
“We just looked very immature at the end,” guard Julian
Jacobs said. “We had the game
in our hands, and we just let it
fall right through.
Jacobs’ missed free throw with
11.6 seconds set up Providence’s
last chance. Dunn missed a
jumper with about 5 seconds
left and the rebound went out of
bounds to the Friars.
Drew Edwards then inbounded the ball to Bullock and he
banked in the go-ahead layup.
“I was supposed to curl off of
Kris, and both of the defenders
went with Kris,” Bullock said. “I
was wide open under the bas-
ket.”
Jacobs took the inbounds pass
for USC and let it fly from midcourt but failed to draw iron.
Dunn finished with 16 points
despite persistent foul trouble. He hit a 3-pointer over
McLaughlin that tied it at 68
with about 90 seconds to play.
Nikola Jovanovic had 14
points for the Trojans. Bennie
Boatwright finished with 11 and
hit a free throw with 58.7 seconds left that gave Southern Cal
a 69-68 lead.
After the teams traded misses
on the three possessions that
followed, the Trojans’ Elijah
Stewart missed the front end
of a one-and-one with 27.6 seconds to play before Providence
wound up giving the ball right
back to USC.
Kyron Cartwright finished
with 10 points for the Friars,
who went one-and-done in the
tournament in each of the last
two years. Their previous victory came during their God
Shammgod-led run to the Elite
Eight in 1997.
LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Martellus Bennett is looking forward to
catching passes from Tom Brady and
teaming with another talented tight
end in All-Pro Rob Gronkowski.
He could hardly wait to learn the
Patriot Way, too, after New England acquired him from the Chicago
Bears.
“It’s something that you’ve got to
be in house to learn,” Bennett said.
“I don’t think I’m going to learn too
much more until I can get in and figure out how things operate once we
start to get into the flow of things.
Right now, it’s just the offseason.
The only thing I saw is the beautiful
building.”
The Patriots acquired Bennett
along with Chicago’s sixth-round
pick in this year’s draft in exchange
for the Patriots’ fourth-rounder in
the deal announced on Thursday.
He said he would leave it to his
agent and the team when he was
asked about pursuing a new contract
with the Patriots.
Bennett had spent time at Disneyland with his family in recent
days and was training in California.
He was prepared to get traded but
wasn’t sure when or where.
“Flow where the wind blows, try to
be a dandelion,” he said.
The 29-year-old Bennett has spent
eight seasons in the NFL, the past
three in Chicago. He made the Pro
Bowl in 2014 and has 3,586 yards
with 23 touchdowns in his career.
He goes from a rebuilding team to
a perennial championship contender led by coach Bill Belichick and
Brady. He also joins Gronkowski in
what could be the NFL’s most productive tight end tandem, and the
Patriots will be banking on all that to
help keep him in line after he rubbed
the Bears the wrong way.
A free spirit who describes himself
as a “black unicorn” and writes children’s books, Bennett missed voluntary offseason workouts a year ago
because he wanted a contract extension even though he had two seasons
remaining on his contract.
That forced him to play catch-up
trying to learn a new offense under
coordinator Adam Gase, who left
after the season to become the Miami Dolphins’ head coach. It didn’t
exactly endear him to new coach
John Fox and general manager Ryan
Pace.
But if the relationship had soured,
Bennett wasn’t saying.
“I don’t know,” he said. “You have
to ask them. I feel like Fox and those
guys, I talked to them and we were
cool. Time for change. I don’t take it
personal. I’m all about the future so
I’m a progressive person.”
When asked if the Bears decided
he no longer fit in, he responded: “I
don’t know. You’ve got to ask them.”
Pace mentioned that the Bears
received a higher draft pick in the
trade and wished Bennett “nothing
but the best.”
Bennett made the Pro Bowl in 2014
with 90 receptions for 916 yards and
six touchdowns. But his production
slipped last season and he started to
question his role as Chicago began
to feature tight end Zach Miller.
Bennett caught 53 passes for 439
yards over 11 games before going on
injured reserve with a rib injury.
The Patriots are the fourth team
for Bennett, who spent four years in
Dallas and one with the New York
Giants.
The trade was announced after the
Bears retained a pair of tight ends
on Monday, agreeing to a two-year
contract with Miller and a one-year
deal with Rob Housler.
“I thought I played very well
in Chicago,” Bennett said. “I put
up great numbers, did some great
things, made my first Pro Bowl
there. Statistically I thought it was
a great job. We had a coaching
change, organizational change. The
guys I came in to play for changed.
So it was just another change.”
Ravens Walker seriously
injured in dirt bike crash
MIAMI (AP) — Baltimore Ravens
cornerback Tray Walker is in critical
condition after police say he was involved in a dirt bike crash in Miami.
Miami-Dade Police say Walker
was riding a Honda dirt bike with
no lights and wearing dark clothing
when he collided with a Ford Escape
at about 8 p.m. Thursday.
The Ravens say Walker is at Jackson Memorial Hospital. Police are
investigating.
Walker was selected in the fourth
round of the 2015 NFL draft. He
played in eight games last season,
mostly on special teams.
In a statement, Ravens coach John
Harbaugh said, “This is devastating
news. Our prayers and hopes are
with Tray and his family tonight.”
A native of Miami, Walker attended Miami Northwestern High School
before playing in college at Texas
Southern.

Wichita State swarms Arizona 65-55
PROVIDENCE,
R.I.
(AP) — It didn’t take long
for Wichita State to send a
message to Arizona that the
Wildcats were in for a long
night.
After Wichita State’s
Fred VanVleet and Ron
Baker dived to the floor for
a loose ball at Arizona’s end
in the first minute of their
NCAA Tournament game
Thursday night, Wildcats
coach Sean Miller called a
timeout.
It was evident from the
outset that Wichita State’s
in-your-face defense was
going to be a huge factor
again.
“That was kind of a statement from the go that we
were going to start the game
playing hard,” Baker said.
The Shockers’ senior
duo of VanVleet and Baker combined for 29 points
and Wichita State’s swarming defense did the rest in
a 65-55 first-round victory.
Arizona entered the game
averaging 81.2 points.
“Big-time effort, big-time
game plan,” said VanVleet,
who finished with 16 points
and five steals. “Obviously,
I was able to have some success early.”
Wichita State (26-8) will
play Miami (26-7), the third
seed in the South Region,
on Saturday.
The Shockers forced 19
turnovers they converted
into 22 points and snared
nine steals. And Arizona’s
big three of Ryan Anderson, Gabe York, and Allonzo Trier, each averaging
15 points, combined for
just 28.
The Shockers didn’t
flinch at Arizona 7-footer
Kaleb Tarczewski, limiting
him to three shots. They
were used to coping with
big guys, using terrific team
defense in the post to beat a
Vanderbilt team with three
7-footers by 20 points in a
First Four game in Dayton,
Ohio on Tuesday night.
“We tried to deny them
(Arizona’s big men) the
ball as much as we could,”
Shockers coach Gregg Marshall said. “Our post players
did a great job.”
Baker and VanVleet, who
were part of the Shockers’ 2013 Final Four team,
led the way against Vandy,
combining for a triple double (28 points, 12 rebounds,
and 10 assists).
FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP)
— The Boston Red Sox
overcame a rough outing by
left-hander Henry Owens to
beat the Baltimore Orioles
9-5 on Thursday.
Owens, who is competing
for a spot in Boston’s starting rotation, lasted just 2 2-3
innings in his fourth appearance this spring. He gave up
three runs on four hits and
two walks with four strikeouts and two hit batters.
Baltimore right-hander
Vance Worley went 3 1-3
innings, giving up six runs,
four earned, on eight hits
with no walks, one strikeout
and one home run.
“Pretty good,” Orioles
manager Buck Showalter
said of Worley’s outing. “He
got a little tired at the end.
We’re trying to stretch him
and get him some pitches
and innings under his belt. .
He elevated very few pitches. One of them was a home
run. The rest of them were
down pretty good.”
Baltimore opened the
scoring in the second when
Dariel Alvarez led off with
triple and scored on Paul
Janish’s sacrifice fly.
Sam Travis put the Red
Sox ahead in the bottom of
the inning with a three-run
homer, his second of the
spring. Travis had two hits
and four RBIs in the game
and is batting .591, going 13
for 22 with 13 RBIs in 14
games.
“He doesn’t seem to
change despite who he might
be facing or the setting,”
Red Sox manager John Farrell said. “He’s a strong hitter. Good bat speed. Demonstrates, obviously, some
big power here today. .Exciting young player.”
One of the hits Owens allowed was a three-run home
run to Christian Walker, his
fourth homer of the spring,
with no outs in the third inning.
“Christian’s had a solid
spring,” Showalter said.
“I’m getting to see a lot of
things that guys told me
about, managers, farm directors. So it’s good to see.”
The Red Sox scored
three runs in the fourth on
four singles and an error by
Walker at first base.
STARTING TIME
In his last two outings,
Owens has gone a combined
5 1-3 innings, giving up
seven runs. He faced seven
batters in the third inning
on Thursday, recording two
outs.
“Third inning I felt like
there were some mishaps
with my mechanics,” he
said. “I was thinking about
it too much on the mound.
A few conversations in the
dugout, Hanigan saw it. So
just work on that tomorrow
and continue to work on it
every single day.”
TRAINER’S ROOM
Red Sox: IF Marco Hernandez left the game with
a left shoulder subluxation
and is day to day. Manager
John Farrell said LHP Eduardo Rodriguez, who suffered a subluxation of his
right knee on Feb. 27, will
not be ready for opening
day. He is expected to throw
bullpen sessions on Friday
and Monday. LHP Brian
Johnson, a candidate for the
rotation, remains sidelined
with a left big toe sprain.
UP NEXT
Red Sox: Boston has
split-squad games on Friday. Right-hander Rick
Porcello will start when the
Red Sox host the Twins and
right-hander Tyler Duffey.
Left-hander Roenis Elias
will start in Port Charlotte
against the Rays.

NCAA Tournament Capsules: No. 12 Yale knocks out No. 5 Baylor 79-75
One 12 seed got its first
NCAA Tournament win in
program history, another
staged a huge comeback then
hung on for a double-overtime
victory and two 11 seeds also
pulled upsets. In total, seven
lower-seeded teams won in
the tourney’s first 16 games,
but of course, the No. 1 seeds
have so far assured themselves
a spot in the second round.
Not bad for the opening day
at the NCAA Tournament.

YALE 79, BAYLOR 75
PROVIDENCE, R.I. —

Justin Sears added 18
points. Brandon Sherrod finished with 10.
The Bulldogs led by as many

point. But a late turnover by
the Bears helped Yale secure
the victory.
Yale will play No. 4 seed
Duke on Saturday.
DUKE 93, UNC WILMINGTON 85
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP)
— Marshall Plumlee ditched
the mask guarding his broken
nose and responded by scoring
a career-high 23 points to lead
defending national champion
Duke past UNC Wilmington.
Plumlee had 10 of his points
and two blocks as the Blue
Devils stepped up the defensive pressure early in the second half to build a lead after
trailing at the break.
Duke (24-10), seeded
fourth in the West, will next
play Yale or Baylor. UNCW
(25-8), seeded 13th, was in it
until the closing moments after Plumlee and Matt Jones
fouled out.

LITTLE ROCK 85,
PURDUE 83, 2OT
DENVER (AP) — Little
Rock is advancing thanks to
an out-of-nowhere comeback

an arcing shot off glass over an
outstretched defender.
The 6-foot-1 senior finished
with 31 points, including six in
the second overtime.
VIRGINIA 81, HAMPTON 45
Anthony Gill scored 19 points
and Virginia beat Hampton
81-45.
London Perrantes had 12

They shot 55 percent, hit

run late in the first half before
coach Tony Bennett collapsed
and was taken to the locker
room a few seconds early.
IOWA STATE 94, IONA 81
DENVER (AP) — Monte
Morris showed no lingering
effects of his right shoulder
injury, scoring 20 points and
dishing out eight assists in
Iowa State’s win over Iona.
Georges Niang’s 28 points
led the No. 3 seed Cyclones
(22-11), who saw all five of

Purdue or Arkansas-Little
Rock on Saturday at the Pepsi
Center.

Kelan Martin scored all 11
of his points in the final 8 1/2
minutes, including consecutive 3-pointers to break a tie
game, to help Butler beat
Texas Tech.
Kellen Dunham scored 23
points to lead the Bulldogs
(22-10), including a critical
3 of his own with 2:26 left as
the Midwest Region’s No. 9
seed finally pulled away in the
final minutes. Butler shot 52
percent after halftime, using
some NCAA Tournament experience to rally from an early
eight-point deficit and finally
push ahead midway through
the second half.

DENVER (AP) — Sophomore 7-footer Jakob Poeltl
scored 16 points and pulled

the South Region, jumped
ahead by 20 by halftime and
cruised to its 10th straight
win in an NCAA Tournament
opener.
CONNECTICUT 74, COLORADO 67
— Rodney Purvis, Daniel
Hamilton and a stifling defense carried Connecticut
back from an 11-point firsthalf deficit, giving the Huskies
enough for a victory over Col-
orado that kept coach Kevin
Ollie unbeaten in the NCAA
Tournament.
Purvis scored 15 of his 19
points after halftime, Daniel Hamilton had 17 points
and 10 rebounds and the No.
9 seed Huskies (25-10) advanced to the second round of

Photos of
Cobain gun
released
SEATTLE (AP) — Police in Seattle have released photos of the shotgun Nirvana frontman
Kurt Cobain used to kill
himself more than two decades ago.
Seattle police cold case
Detective Mike Ciesynski
is shown holding Cobain’s
gun at different angles in
five photos posted to the
police department’s website Wednesday.
The photos were taken
in June 2015, added to the
city of Seattle’s computer
system March 3 and since
then have been added to
the investigative file, according to police.
It’s unclear why they
took the photos last year or
why they’re releasing them
to the public at this time.
A message left with Seattle police wasn’t immediately returned.
Cobain’s body was found
in Seattle on April 8, 1994.
An investigation determined that days earlier
Cobain had gone into the
greenhouse of his large
home and taken a massive dose of heroin. He
then shot himself with a
20-gauge shotgun. His
death was ruled a suicide.
On the 20th anniversary
of Cobain’s death in 2014,
Ciesynski reviewed the
case files and said he found
no new information to
change the police conclusion that Cobain took his
own life. He did find four
rolls of undeveloped film
from the suicide scene.
After releasing two of
the images in 2014, police
released 34 additional photos taken at the scene due
to numerous public disclosure requests for the images.
Cobain, who was 27 when
he died, helped popularize the Pacific Northwest’s
heavy, muddy “grunge”
rock, along with bands like
Pearl Jam, Soundgarden,
Alice in Chains and Mudhoney.

Keeping what’s ours: Mutualfund costs at lowest in decades
By STAN CHOE

SEALING THE WINDOWS — During a recent tour of the construction progression of the new Athol Community Elementary School (ACES), workers
could be seen high up in the air sealing some of the windows on the second
floor. The building, which is on budget and on time to open this summer, will
soon be bustling with the sounds of up to 550 children who will be looking out
those same classroom windows.
NEW YORK (AP) — It
hasn’t been this cheap to invest
in mutual funds for decades,
possibly ever.
Expenses dropped again last
year for both stock and bond
funds, and they’re at their lowest levels since at least 1996,
as a percentage of their total
assets, according to the Investment Company Institute.
That’s how far back the trade
group’s records go, and funds
have been getting steadily
cheaper to own since then.
“It’s a bit like Olympic records,” says Sean Collins, senior director of industry and
financial analysis at the group.
“Every four years, for whatever reason, records seem to fall.
And you think: At some point,
this has got to stop, right? And
so far, we haven’t seen it.”
It’s heartening because low
expenses mean investors are
keeping more of their savings.
And researchers have found
that, in investing, unlike elsewhere in life, you get what
you don’t pay for. Lower-cost
funds tend to perform better
than higher-cost rivals. That’s
because higher-cost funds
have to perform that much
better to deliver the same after-cost returns, which is what
investors care about and see in
their quarterly statements.
Even though minimizing
costs is such a key part of investing, investors don’t always
notice them. No bill comes due
each year. Instead, fund companies directly take out how
much they need for managers’
salaries, record-keeping costs
and other operating expenses
from the fund’s assets.
To see how much a fund is
taking out, check what the industry calls its expense ratio.
This figure calculates what
percentage of the fund’s assets is going to cover annual
costs, and funds regularly give
updates on theirs on their websites. Stock funds had an average expense ratio of 0.68 per-
cent last year, down from 0.70
percent a year before and 1.04
percent in 1996.
That means a person with
$1,000 invested had $6.80 taken out to cover fees last year,
versus $7 in 2014 and $10.40
two decades ago.
That may not sound like
much, but the savings get proportionally bigger as nest eggs
grow. For workers with an
average-sized 401(k), which
Fidelity Investments recently
pegged at $87,900, they could
be paying $316 less in expenses each year than they would
have in 1996. Plus, long-term
investors will see the value of
those savings grow through
compound interest.
A fund’s expense ratio
doesn’t include the cover
charge that some funds require to enter, something the
industry calls a “load” payment. The ICI’s numbers also
don’t include expenses for
exchange-traded funds, which
are becoming ever more popular in part because their fees
are often lower than those of
traditional mutual funds.
The ICI’s numbers give
greater weight to the largest
funds, so a big reason for the
drop in expenses has been the
extraordinary growth for index
funds in recent years. Money
has been pouring into these
funds, which are some of the
cheapest to own because they
don’t hire teams of analysts to
pick stocks. Instead of trying to
beat the Standard & Poor’s 500
or another index, these funds
automatically buy stocks in the
index in an effort to match it.
Stock index funds had an
average expense ratio of 0.11
percent last year, versus 0.84
percent for their actively managed rivals. Investors plugged
nearly $413 billion into index
mutual funds and ETFs last
year, according to Morningstar. They pulled nearly $207
billion out of actively managed
funds over the same time.
Even when investors are
opting for funds run by stock
pickers, they’re overwhelmingly focusing on the lowestcost ones. Last year, 57 percent
of all the money invested in
actively managed stock funds
was held in the cheapest 10
percent of them.
Keeping expenses low is
even more important with
bond funds than stock funds,
because returns are lower and
expenses can quickly erode
them. Bond-fund expense ratios fell to an average of 0.54
percent last year from 0.57
percent a year before and 0.84
percent in 1996.
One big reason is many investors pulled money from
beleaguered high-yield bond
funds last year, which tend to
have higher-than-average expenses. These funds invest in
“junk bonds” that offer higher
yields but are issued by companies considered at greater risk
of defaulting.
The outlier in the downward
trend for expenses lies in what
the industry calls “alternative
funds.” These funds, described
sometimes as “hedge funds
for the masses,” use more
complicated trading strategies
than traditional funds. Some
sell stocks short, for example,
which are investments that
profit when a stock falls. Marketers of these funds argue
the higher fees required by
the more complex trading is
worth it for investors looking
for steady returns despite the
market’s direction.
Many of these funds are
also relatively new, and when
funds have low assets, they’re
not able to spread their costs
over as many dollars, which
pushes up expense ratios. That
math shows why the last time
expense ratios rose broadly
for stock mutual funds was in
2009, when the Great Recession drained funds of much of
their assets.
That’s why it may not be until the next recession that trend
of falling fees across mutual
funds turns. In the meantime,
keep pocketing those savings.
Kerry determines IS group committing genocide
SPOTTED! — The weekend edition of the Athol
Daily News was available for perusal in the comfortable customer waiting area at the Workers’
Credit Union in Orange recently. We thank our
friends at WCU for their continued support of the
local newspaper, serving the North Quabbin area
since 1934.
Police fatally shoot 2 suspects
HOUSTON (AP) — Police fired at five suspected
robbers Thursday night outside a Houston furniture
store, killing two and injuring two other members of
the group, which was being
monitored by a tactical team
investigating other robberies
earlier in the day.
John Cannon, a police
spokesman, five police officers fired their weapons but
none was injured.
One of the two injured suspects was taken to the hospital with an undisclosed injury.
Another sustained a superficial shoulder wound and was
treated by paramedics at the
scene. He and a suspect who
wasn’t injured were taken
into custody, Cannon said.
“Officers discharged their
weapons either because the
suspects pointed weapons
at them or they were fearful
suspects were running toward
other businesses, which had
citizens in them,” Cannon
told The Associated Press.
Two guns belonging to the
suspects were recovered at
the scene, and Cannon said
officers continued to search
the area but didn’t believe
there are other suspects.
Taj Ali, the owner of Affordable Furniture where
the robbery took place, told
the Houston Chronicle that
an employee who was inside
during the holdup said the
gunmen were wearing masks.
She said one pointed a gun
and asked if the store had a
safe.
“She didn’t have the key
and we don’t keep any money
in it,” Ali said. “Then, one of
them hollered, ‘Let’s go,’ and
that was the end of the story.”

WASHINGTON
(AP)
— The Obama administration on Thursday formally
concluded the Islamic State
group is committing genocide against Christians and
other minorities in Iraq and
Syria, a declaration long
sought by Congress and human rights organizations but
likely to change little in the
conflict against the extremists.
The determination, for
which Congress had set a
Thursday deadline, does not
obligate the United States to
take additional action against
IS militants and does not prejudge any potential prosecution against its members.
Officials said the U.S. has
already intensified its fight
against IS and had effectively recognized the situation as a genocide more than
a year ago when it agreed to
increase the number of refugees, notably from Syria, that
America accepts.
A day after the State Department said the administration would miss the
deadline because it needed
more evidence, Kerry said
Thursday that he had completed his review after all and
determined that Christians,
Yazidis and Shiite groups
are victims of genocide and
crimes against humanity by
the Islamic State. The House
earlier this week unanimously passed a nonbinding resolution condemning IS atrocities as genocide.
Kerry outlined a litany of
atrocities that he said the militants had committed against
people and religious sites, as
well as threats to eradicate
what it terms apostates and
infidels. Using the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State
group, he said, “Daesh is
genocidal by self-proclamation, by ideology, and by actions — in what it says, what
it believes and what it does.”
However, he added that he
was “neither judge nor prosecutor nor jury with respect
to the allegations” and said
any potential criminal charges must result from an independent international investigation. Kerry said the U.S.
would continue to support
efforts to collect evidence
and document atrocities.
While his determination
does not carry such legal
weight, Kerry said he hoped
that groups he cited as being
victimized would take some
comfort in the fact that the
“the United States recognizes and confirms the despicable nature of the crimes
committed against them.”
Lawmakers and others
who have advocated for the
finding had sharply criticized
the State Department’s initial disclosure Wednesday
that the deadline would be
missed. U.S. officials said
Kerry concluded his review
just hours after that announcement and the criticism had not affected his
decision.
On Thursday, Rep. Jeff
Fortenberry, the author of
the House bill, commended
Kerry’s decision.
“The United States has
now spoken with clarity and
moral authority,” Fortenberry, R-Neb., said in a statement. “I sincerely hope that
the genocide designation will
raise international consciousness, end the scandal of silence and create the preconditions for the protection and
reintegration of these ancient
faith communities into their
ancestral homelands.”
Today In History
By The Associated Press
JOURNEY HOME FROM WAR — Neil MGuirk,
regional director of veteran services, and Pastor
Beverly Prestwood-Taylor of the Athol Congregational Church conclude their final planning
for an upcoming veteran workshop. The two-day
workshop on April 5 and 6 is designed for veterans, their family members, friends, pastors and
civic groups to strengthen community knowledge
and resources about the trauma veterans face and
the path of healing. It will be held from 9 a.m. to
5 p.m. at the church, at 1225 Chestnut St. Presenters of this comprehensive workshop have had
extensive experience in understanding trauma
and how best to support the healing. There is no
charge for veterans, and there is a fee for others.
Registration should be made by contacting the
church at 978-249-6202 or www.atholcongregationchurchurchucc.org. The workshop is sponsored by
the North Quabbin Veterans Outreach, Brookfield
Institute and STAR (Strategies for Trauma Awareness and Resilience). Submitted photo
Authorities: Lawsuit against
Uber by shooting suspect bogus
KALAMAZOO, Mich.
(AP) — A lawsuit against
Uber filed in the name of a
driver accused of gunning
down six people in between
stops to pick up fares is a
hoax, authorities said Thursday.
Kalamazoo County Undersheriff Paul Matyas said
he saw reports Wednesday
about a 1½-page handwritten lawsuit by Jason Dalton
seeking $10 million from the
ride-hailing service and became suspicious because the
envelope it reportedly was
mailed in had a Philadelphia
postmark.
An investigator spoke
with Dalton, who is jailed,
and he denied filing the lawsuit, Matyas said. Dalton
also said he didn’t autho-
rize anyone to file a lawsuit
on his behalf and he didn’t
know who would have done
so.
The sheriff’s department
compared the writing in
the lawsuit with a sample of
Dalton’s writing and it didn’t
match, Matyas said. It also
wasn’t in an envelope typically used by jail inmates, he
said.
The lawsuit was listed in
federal electronic records as
being filed by Dalton in U.S.
District Court in Detroit and
was given a case number.
Asked whether his department was trying to find out
who is responsible for the
hoax, Matyas said his office
referred the matter to the
FBI, since the lawsuit was
filed in federal court.

SATURDAY, MARCH 19, 2016
Spring Equinox It’s out with the old as the sun waves goodbye to the Pisces realm and bursts into the fiery sign of new
birth. The Aries ram is the animal of spring, the symbol of
fresh hope, purity and potential. Is your mind starting to fill
with ideas about what you’d like to see out of the new season? There’s a buzzing sense of possibility in the air.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Humor is magic. If you don’t have
enough laughter in your life, you don’t have enough magic.
The funny people you know are golden treasures, and you
will treat them as such because you’re an emotional genius.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Social graces are so much more
important than they seem. Reach out to that shy person. It’s
not that big of a deal for you, but it will be huge in the other
person’s lens.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Go ahead and orient yourself to
your own needs. This isn’t the least bit selfish, you know. It’s
actually smart, and you’re doing someone else a favor by
providing for yourself.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you didn’t make the kind of
impression you wanted to make on someone, you’ll get a
second chance. So think about it this time — exactly what
are you going for?
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The talkers will annoy you. It’s because this isn’t your nature. You can’t see the point in talking a good game. In fact, you prefer not to talk at all as you
get down to whatever it is you need to do to produce your
deliverables.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The other person clearly isn’t
asking what can be done to help you out. Maybe it’s because
you’re so self-sufficient. Anyway, if you want help, you’re going to have to ask directly for exactly what you need.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have the best ideas, and perhaps you’ll have more of these ideas than others know what
to do with. Keep track. Write things down and you can figure
out your presentation later.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Have you gotten away from the
basics? Food, water, rest, warmth — and, of course, love.
Check each box. You’ll be surprised how much better things
go when you are, for instance, properly hydrated.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Stress isn’t attractive or
interesting to others. That’s why you never lead with how
“stressed out” you are, even if it happens to be true. Being
fun is harder than being anxious, but you make the effort and
get the payoff, too.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Don’t accept the pressure
someone is putting on you. For the pressure to be real, you
both have to agree to it. Don’t agree and it goes away. It’s
really as simple as that.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The one who says sorry is
actually testing the waters. Listen between the lines. Is this
an apology or a way to find out where the boundaries are?
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Romance, for all its beauty,
also has the effect of threatening your comfort zone. You’re
grappling with this in your mind, trying to figure out how far
you’re willing to stray from the pleasantness you’re used to.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 19). You don’t have to take
physical risks to prove that you’re brave. Yours is a different sort of courage. You’re willing to let someone know you.
You’re willing to be vulnerable, and to be bad at things for
the sake of your own learning and development. Passionate love and popularity are part of your cosmic birthday gift.
Capricorn and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are:
40, 16, 27, 38 and 44.

STUDENT DANCING — Dance teacher Anna Hendricks engages kindergarten and first grade children in dance at the Village School in Royalston.
School photo
Dance Week held at the Village School
ROYALSTON — This
March the Village School
in Royalston hosted dancer
Anna Hendricks for a whole
week as an artist in residence.
Hendricks has been teaching
creative dance to children for
15 years, both in the Boston
area, and, for the past seven
years, at her Franklin County
studio, Great Falls Creative
Movement. Hendricks uses
a concept-based approach to
teaching creative dance, allowing for students of all bodytypes and levels of physical and
artistic experience to explore
and enjoy dancing. The students participated in
daily, sometimes twice daily,
dance classes. Each class fo-
cused on a different concept:
self-space and group space,
pathway, speed, rhythm, body
shapes, weight, and relationships. Children explored these
concepts as they relate to locomotor movements (roll, walk,
gallop, leap, hop, etc.) and
non-locomotor movements,
(such as bend, fall, push,
freeze, shake, wiggle, stretch,
lunge, etc.). Older children
took their explorations and
used them to choreograph
short dances. Children rose to
the challenge of moving in new
ways — both alone and with
each other.
The Village School plans
on using many of the dance
techniques and routines in the
classrooms daily, and hopes to
bring Hendricks back to work
with the children again.
Hendricks’ weeklong residency was made possible
by a STAR Residency grant
awarded by the Mass. Cultural
Council.
More information about
Hendricks and other events
and classes hosted by Great
Falls Creative Movement is
available at www.greatfallscreativemovement.com. Interested parents are invited to visit
the Village School anytime
and observe the mixed-age
classes and the unique curriculum in action. Email the

Gay groups included in St. Pat’s parade
NEW YORK (AP) — The
nation’s largest St. Patrick’s
Day parade kicked off Thursday in New York City, and for
the first time in decades, gay
activists are not decrying it as
an exercise in exclusion.
The first of roughly 200,000
marchers began striding up
Fifth Avenue just after 11
a.m. in a procession of throbbing pipes and drums, smiling dignitaries and waving
flags.
As always, it was a celebration of Irish heritage, but this
year’s parade also stands to
close a long chapter of controversy. A year after a limited easing of the parade’s
prohibition on gay groups,
organizers now have opened
the lineup more broadly to
include activists who protested the ban for years.
“I never thought I’d see
the day when I could march
up Fifth Avenue in the St.
Patrick’s Day Parade with
my husband,” said Brendan
Fay, chairman of the Lavender and Green Alliance, as
the parade began. “When we
started in 1991, after getting
arrested so many times for
protesting the parade, wow,
what a moment this is.”
Besides marking firsts,
this year’s parade also looks
back, honoring the centennial of Ireland’s Easter Rising against British rule. It is
also being broadcast live in
Ireland and the United Kingdom for the first time.
The grand marshal of the
parade is former U.S. Sen.
George Mitchell of Maine,
who negotiated the Northern
Ireland peace accord.
Organizers aim to invoke
“the lessons of sacrifice and
heroism, of love and tolerance, embodied in the Irish
spirit,” parade board chairman John Lahey said when
the plans were announced.
New York’s parade traces
its history to 1762.
For years, organizers said
gay people could participate but couldn’t carry signs
or buttons celebrating their
sexual identities. Organizers said they didn’t want to
divert focus from honoring
Irish heritage.
Irish gay advocates sued
in the early 1990s, but judges
said the parade organizers
had a First Amendment right
to choose participants in
their event.
Over the years, activists
protested along the route,
and some politicians boycotted. The pressure grew
in 2014, when Mayor Bill
de Blasio refused to march,
and Guinness and Heineken
withdrew their sponsorships.
Gay activists who have
been protesting the parade
for 25 years said they were
thrilled to be included in
Thursday’s celebration.
“This is a massive victory,”
said Irish-American Emmaia
Gelman, 41, who was repeatedly arrested at parade protests and met her longtime
partner at one.
The sponsorships resumed
when parade organizers
opened a door to gay groups
last year, allowing a contingent from parade sponsor
NBCUniversal. But critics
saw the gesture as tokenism.
Meanwhile, Boston’s St.
Patrick’s Day parade ended
a ban on gay groups that
organizers had successfully defended at the Supreme Court. In the ensuing months, gay marriage
became legal throughout the
U.S. and Ireland.
Against that backdrop,
New York St. Patrick’s Day
Parade organizers said they’d
add a second gay group this

Needed For All Areas!!
year to the parade ranks: the
Lavender & Green Alliance,
which had long protested the
gay-group ban.
Some longtime parade
participants have balked at
the arrival of gay delegations.
“It’s contemptible,” said
Bill Donohue of the Catholic
League, who stopped marching last year.
CLARKSBURG,
Calif.
(AP) — Atop a dirt levee his
great-grandfather built in the
1800s to hold back California’s mightiest river, Northern
California farmer Russell van
Loben Sels looks out over the
site of a new water project, one
that would be the state’s most
ambitious in a half-century.
Promoted by Gov. Jerry
Brown, the $15.7 billion project would run giant twin pipes,
each four stories high, underground for 35 miles and eventually pull thousands of gallons
of water a second from the
stretch along the Sacramento
River where van Loben Sels
farms to cities and farms to the
south.
In what all agree will be the
decisive year for the project,
Brown’s plan — which is facing obstacles to environmental
approval in the SacramentoSan Joaquin River Delta and
mounting uncertainty over the
financing — is splitting farmers
and political leaders.
In the delta, a land of treelined river banks, pear orchards and Gold Rush-era
Victorian homes, signs saying, “Stop the Tunnels,” hang
on farm gates and shop walls.
People fear the tunnels would
let the state take too much water from the delta.
“I do resent the fact they
look at the delta as being sort
of expendable to protect their
farms,” van Loben Sels said,
driving a narrow river road that
would be replaced by widened
highways and massive water
intakes. “It’s just the destruction of the delta.”
In the arid part of California
that encompasses Los Angeles
and the country’s most productive agricultural region,
the San Joaquin Valley, farmers and water managers facing
drought, climate change and
growth see water becoming
scarcer. They hope the tunnels
can bring them more.
“We’re barely trying to hold
our own,” said Michael Stearns, walking the bare dirt of
2,700 acres, almost half of the
nearly 10-square mile farm he
has fallowed owing to water
cuts amid the driest four-year
stretch in California’s history.
Much of the idle land where
tomatoes and cotton normally
grow is equipped with waterefficient drip irrigation. Stearns, the general manager of the
farm, said he may next have to
take out the farm’s main money-makers — wine grapes and
pistachios.
“That’s why the security of
the water is just so critical,” he
said.
Questions over the environmental impact and financing are driving the debate on
the tunnels — a construction
feat that would rival or dwarf
most tunnel projects of recent
decades, including the tunnel
beneath the English Channel
and Boston’s Big Dig.
“Nobody’s told me they’re
ready to write me a check to
build their share of the project,” said Mark Cowin, director of the state Department
of Water Resources. “A lot of
it comes down to trust on both
sides of the table.”
A labyrinth of waterways,
fields and islands, the delta
stretches inland 75 miles from
San Francisco Bay at the confluence of big rivers that start
high in Northern California
mountains. It is the heart of
the state’s water system, feeding two-thirds of the state’s
residents, 3 million acres of
farmland, and wildlife.
In the 1960s, under thenGov. Pat Brown — the current
governor’s father — California
and the federal government reengineered the delta to pump
water from the southern end
to farms and communities as
distant as San Diego.
But the pumps altered the
delta’s flow, pulling migrating
fish off course. Once-bountiful
stocks of Delta smelt, Chinook salmon and other native
species have plummeted. At
least 35 native fish, plants and
animal species there are now
listed under federal and state
endangered-species acts.

This year and last, authorities cut water deliveries from
the delta to save enough for
endangered fish. The cuts angered farmers and others, yet
still failed to keep water plentiful and cool enough for the
fish, causing record declines.
Brown’s plan adds water intakes and tunnels just north of
the delta, away from the smelt
habitat. And officials say the
project would almost halve the
time that the damaging pumps
in the southern delta would
run.
The delta re-do would come
at a steep price. And in interviews, just one of the five key
water agencies potentially
footing the cost expressed
readiness to pay its share.
For the urban Metropolitan
Water District of Southern
California, a long-term, more
reliable water source for its
19 million customers would
make the investment worthwhile, if other water districts go
along, general manager Jeffrey
Kightlinger said.
“I think it’s time to essentially call the question — are
we going to do this or not?” he
said.
Districts serving mainly
farmers, however, expressed
skepticism the tunnels make
sense financially.
“We want the project to
work,” said Johnny Amaral,
deputy general manager of
San Joaquin Valley’s Westlands Water District, the nation’s largest irrigation district
and a major player behind the
tunnels. “But in order for us
to continue, it has to result in
more water and reliability.”
Jason Peltier, head of the
San Luis & Delta-Mendota
Water Authority, said, “Nobody is willing to declare it a
dead project,” given the broad
desire for something that improves the current system.

Natural gas line explosions
bring new safety proposal
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP)
— U.S. officials moved
Thursday to strengthen
safety rules for the nation’s
300,000-mile network of natural gas transmission pipelines in response to numerous fiery accidents, including
a 2010 California explosion
that killed eight people and
injured more than 50.
The Department of Transportation proposal would
expand inspection and repair rules to include lines in
some rural areas and newly
installed lines in burgeoning
gas drilling fields.
Pressure-testing for leaks
would be required on older
lines that were previously
exempt, such as the Pacific
Gas and Electric Company
pipe constructed in 1956
that broke and torched a
residential neighborhood in
San Bruno, California, six
years ago.
But the government is
sidestepping for now action
on emergency valves that
can automatically shut down
ruptured gas lines. That issue was highlighted by San
Bruno, where a 30-inchdiameter pipeline buried
beneath a suburban street
continued spewing gas for
95 minutes after it broke,
burning 38 homes, before a
utility worker manually shut
it down.
The Associated Press has
reported on the potential
benefits of automatic valves,
and safety regulators have
urged making them mandatory. But the gas industry has
resisted, in part due to their
potential high cost.
In the past two decades,
the government has recorded more than 2,000 accidents on gas transmission
lines across the U.S., resulting in 46 deaths, 181 injuries
and $1.8 billion in damages.
The AP obtained details
on Thursday’s proposal in
advance of its public release.
Transportation Secretary
Anthony Foxx said it represents “commonsense measures” that are needed to
handle a dramatic increase
in domestic natural gas production in recent years.
They would bring under
federal regulation for the
first time roughly 11,000
miles of “gathering lines”
that transport fuel directly
from the wellhead to storage
areas, officials said.
“The significant growth
in the nation’s production,
usage and commercialization of natural gas is placing
unprecedented demands on
the nation’s pipeline system,” Foxx said in a statement provided to the AP.
The rules would extend
pressure-testing to include
lines built before 1970, a
step the National Transportation Safety Board has long
recommended.
Some companies already
have been testing older
lines voluntarily, said Marie
Therese Dominguez, administrator for the Transportation Department’s Pipeline
and Hazardous Materials
Safety Administration. But
Dominguez said the agency
has identified 7,400 miles of
pipe that have never been
assessed for problems.
3 arrested, heroin seized in Holyoke
HOLYOKE, Mass. (AP) — Police have seized a large
amount of heroin and arrested three people following a
raid on a Holyoke apartment.
Authorities say two young children, ages 3 and 6,
were in the apartment at the time.
A task force consisting of state police, Hampden
County sheriff’s deputies, Springfield, Holyoke and
Chicopee police, made the bust Wednesday.
Undercover officers arranged to buy 1,200 bags of
heroin in the apartment’s parking lot. They arrested
one man but a second escaped in a vehicle after ramming a police vehicle several times.
Police then executed a search warrant on the apartment and found an additional 1,150 bags of heroin.
They arrested two women in the apartment and said
they would issue a criminal complaint against a third
woman who was caring for the children.
Boston man held without bail
BROCKTON, Mass. (AP) — A Boston man charged
with killing a New Jersey woman whose body was found
burning near railroad tracks in Massachusetts has been
held without bail.
Fernando Owens pleaded not guilty Thursday to
murder and kidnapping in connection with the death of
29-year-old Ashley Bortner.
Bortner’s burning and bound body was found near
tracks in Bridgewater, south of Boston on Nov. 3.
Owens fled to the Dominican Republic, but was captured last week.
Prosecutors say the 43-year-old Owens thought Bortner was involved in the shooting death of his son, and
when she went to his home to persuade him otherwise,
he killed her. Prosecutors do not think Bortner was involved in the death. Relatives say Bortner was dating
Owens’ son.
Owens’ attorney says his client “has absolutely denied” involvement Bortner’s death.
Man pleads guilty to embezzlement
FRAMINGHAM, Mass. (AP) — A former volunteer
treasurer of a Framingham youth soccer league has
pleaded guilty to stealing more than $175,000 from the
program.
Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan’s office
says 43-year-old Scott Vermilya was sentenced Thursday in Woburn to two years in prison. The Framingham
man pleaded guilty to charges including larceny and fiduciary embezzlement.
Vermilya oversaw condominium associations for
ReMax/Destiny real estate in 2012. Authorities determined Vermilya shifted funds in bank accounts to
compensate for shortages, sometimes taking money for
himself.
Ryan’s office says Vermilya became the volunteer
treasurer of the Framingham United Soccer Club in
2014 where he used the position to write checks from
the association to cover the missing funds in the Cambridge company’s accounts.
Authorities say he used the club’s debit card for personal expenses.
GE rejects river cleanup proposal
PITTSFIELD, Mass. (AP) — General Electric has issued a final rejection of the Environmental Protection
Agency’s $613 million proposal to clean chemicals from
a western Massachusetts river.
The Berkshire Eagle reports GE Vice President for
Global Operations Ann Klee said in the rejection letter
posted Wednesday that the company’s position is “clear
and unchanged.”
The EPA had proposed cleaning PCBs, or polychlorinated biphenyls, from more than 400 acres along a 10.5mile stretch of the Housatonic River in Pittsfield and
Lenox. It includes dredging and trucking contaminated
soil and sediment to an out-of-state facility.
Klee says GE will implement a “common sense” solution to cleaning the river.
The next step is for the EPA to issue a final cleanup
order. If GE rejects the decision, the case goes to the
EPA’s Environmental Appeals Board.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — It
sounds like a pitch for a farfetched movie: “Cast Away,”
but with a dog instead of
Tom Hanks. Only this sea
tale is true.
A California fisherman’s
beloved German shepherd
fell overboard and was presumed drowned. More than
a month later, she was found.
The 1 ½-year-old dog
named Luna was spotted this
week on San Clemente Island, a Navy-owned training
base 70 miles off San Diego.
The blue-eyed pup disappeared Feb. 10 as Nick
Haworth, a commercial
fisherman from San Diego,
worked on a boat 2 miles
from the island.
“They were pulling in their
traps, and one minute Luna
was there, and the next minute she was gone,” said Sandy DeMunnik, spokeswoman for Naval Base Coronado.
“They looked everywhere
for her. They couldn’t see
her. The water was dark, and
she’s dark.”
Haworth notified Navy
personnel.
“He insisted that he was 90
percent sure that she made
it to shore because she was
such a strong swimmer,” DeMunnik said.
Haworth searched the
waters for about two days
and Navy staff searched the
island for about a week but
found no sign of Luna.
She was presumed lost at
sea. Until Tuesday, that is,
when staff arriving for work
at the island’s Naval Auxiliary Landing Field spotted something unusual — a
dog sitting by the side of
the road. Domestic animals
aren’t allowed on the island
for environmental reasons.
It was Luna.

Founder of the Western
Attorney: Appeal ‘frivolous’
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP)
— The attorney for a Montana teacher serving 10
years in prison in a notorious student rape case said
Thursday her client’s appeal
of his sentence lacks merit,
an unusual move that could
end the defendant’s chances
for a reduced term.
Assistant Appellate Defender Eileen Larkin filed
a request with the state Supreme Court to let her drop
the case of Stacey Dean
Rambold, a former Billings
Senior High School teacher
who raped a 14-year-old student. The girl later committed suicide.
The request marks yet
another unexpected turn in
a case that’s dragged on for
almost a decade.
Rambold likely will get a
chance to respond to Larkin’s bid to drop the case,
Supreme Court Clerk Ed
Smith said.
“After that, generally
speaking, the court will issue
an order dismissing the case
as totally frivolous,” Smith
said.
Rambold was 47 in 2007
when he raped freshman
Cherice Moralez, a student
in his business class.
Moralez killed herself
while charges against Rambold were pending, weakening the prosecution’s case
and leading a state judge to
sentence Rambold initially
to just one month in prison.
The state Supreme Court
overturned that sentence as
too lenient in 2014.
State District Judge G.
Todd Baugh was later cen-
sured and suspended for 31
days over his handling of
the case. Baugh, the son of
legendary Washington Redskins quarterback Samuel
“Slinging Sammy” Baugh,
had suggested Moralez
shared some of the blame
for her rape.
Under Montana law, children younger than 16 cannot consent to sexual intercourse.
But the judge said Moralez appeared “older than
her chronological age” and
“was probably as much in
control of the situation as
the defendant.” Rambold’s
attorneys also suggested
Moralez bore some responsibility, citing interviews of
the girl conducted by law
enforcement prior to her
death. Those videos have
never been publicly released.

‘Weedman’
heading back to
court
TRENTON, N.J. (AP)
— After battling the legal
system on two coasts and
spending time in and out of
prison, New Jersey’s loudest champion of marijuana
went legit last year when
he opened up a restaurant
across from city hall in this
state’s capital city.
Now, he’s headed back to
court.
Ed
Forchion,
better
known as NJ Weedman, said
Wednesday that Trenton
police infringed on his religious rights after shutting
down the cannabis temple
attached to his restaurant for
operating too late at night
last weekend.
He has filed an injunction in federal court to keep
his temple open after 11
p.m. That’s when many of
his 600 congregants gather,
some to smoke marijuana
on a property that includes
a large white cross festooned
with ornamental marijuana
leaves.
Police cleared out his “cannabis church” early Saturday
because of a city ordinance
that limits a business’s hours.
“I call it a midnight mass,”
Forchion said. “I grew up in
the Baptist church and have
been to plenty of midnight
services and midnight revivals. I should have the same
rights as the Shiloh Baptist
Church.”
