Nipmuks gifted portion of land from Earthlands
By ASHLEY ARSENEAU
ADN Staff Reporter
PETERSHAM — After
hundreds of years the Nipmuk tribe has regained a
portion of their former land
from Earthlands that will
now be known as Nipmuk
Meadow and will be used
for teachings by the Nipmuks. Larry Buell, Earthlands
founder and senior advisor,
said 2.5 acres of land is being given to the Nipmuks.
Fred Freeman and Andrea
Smith of the Nipmuk Cultural Preservation, Inc.,
attended and took part in
a ceremony Wednesday
night to celebrate the land
transfer and implant the
new northstone into the
Earthlands medicine circle.
Earthlands is comprised of
500 acres within Petersham.
A follow-up parcel of Earthlands’ acreage will be given
to the Nipmuks as well. “It’s going to be a place
where they can do teachings,” Buell said describing
what will be the new cultural
education site. Teachings
will be offered to native and
non-native people as part
of Earthlands’ upcoming
University of the Wild that
is under development with
multiple higher education
institutes including Clark
University in Worcester.
Buell said University of the
Wild will allow students to
come to Earthlands for a
16-month self-guided program. Also attending the ceremony were about 30 people with connections to
Earthlands or the area. The
ceremony began with all in
attendance being smudged
before walking into the circle. Smudging is a practice
in which herbs are used to
bless those taking part in a
ceremony and ward off negative energy. Once all were
in the circle Buell passed
around a Conch shell and
asked each person to explain what brought them
to Earthlands for the night.
Many had spent time at
Earthlands and were there
to pay their respects to the
land. People came from as
far away as Hawaii to see
the occasion. According to Buell the
Nipmuks first began their
exodus of the Petersham
area, which they referred to
as Nichewaug, in the 1730s
when it was legal for settlers
to kill Nipmuks. Many left
the area for upstate New
York or Canada.
Freeman
said,

Police: Liquid found at stand-off ‘non-hazardous’
By BRIAN GELINAS
ADN Staff Reporter
ATHOL — The investigation following an overnight
stand-off early Thursday
morning continued yesterday afternoon at the site of
the incident at 65 Chester
St.
Athol Police Lt. Kevin
Heath said that as result of
firearms believed to be in
the home a search warrant
was executed. Recovered
were several firearms and
a large amount of ammunition. In addition, two sealed
barrels, which were found to
contain an unknown liquid,
and items resembling pipe
bombs were discovered. As
a result, the fire department
was called to the scene,
along with members of the
State Police Bomb Squad
and a hazardous materials
team.

Heath.

natural gas suppliers and recover through the tariffs some
of the costs associated with
pipeline construction.
The utilities argued that
without those financial assurances, pipeline companies
would not assume the risks involved with new construction.
The Conservation Law
Foundation filed suit against
the tariffs, arguing they ran
afoul of a 1997 state law that
restructured the electricity
market in Massachusetts to
separate companies that generate electricity from those
that distribute it to consumers.
The high court agreed.
“The department’s interpretation of the statute as permitting electric distribution
companies to shift the entire
risk of the investment to the
ratepayers is unreasonable, as
it is precisely this type of shift
that the Legislature sought

BOSTON (AP) — Electric utilities cannot pass on
to their Massachusetts ratepayers the costs of financing
new natural gas pipelines, the
state’s highest court ruled on
Wednesday.
The unanimous decision
from the Supreme Judicial
Court was cheered by environmental groups, which
dubbed the proposed tariffs
a “pipeline tax.” It was a setback, however, for Republican Gov. Charlie Baker’s
administration, which had
viewed the financing mechanism as a means of increasing
natural gas capacity and stabilizing electricity prices. Natural gas is the state’s leading
source of energy for generating electricity.
The Department of Public
Utilities approved a rule last
year that would authorize
electricity distribution companies such as Eversource
and National Grid to enter
into long-term contracts with

ATHOL — The Tool Town Live 2016 concert series continues with featured artist Hillary Chase on Saturday, Aug. 20, at the uptown
common, near 1500 Main St. The concert is
from 7 to 9 p.m., and free for all ages.
Chase is a prolific songwriter who has been
performing in and around western Massachusetts since the age of 10. A native of Orange,
she graduated from Bennington College in
2014.
Chase’s music has been described as soul/
folk. She mixes complex imagery with poetic
lyrics and structures that range from very simple to intricate and sometimes unexpected.
She writes songs of love and change, soulsearching and travel, usually with an autobiographical feel. “I hope I can provoke peace and love. I want
to write from the voices of other people whose
stories have never been told,” says Chase. She has shared the stage with the likes of
Jonathan Edwards, Tom Rush and singer
“I hope I can provoke
peace and love.”
-Hillary Chase
Christine Ohlman of the Saturday Night Live
band, to name a few.
Chase will be accompanied onstage at Tool
Town Live by John Miller of Greenfield.
Equally adept on guitar and bass, Miller is a
talented vocalist and multi-instrumentalist
who has performed since childhood. He has
collaborated with and backed up a myriad of
independent musicians in both studio and live
settings throughout New England.

goals through small, workable steps. Workshops are
highly supportive, informative, social and fun. Caregivers and family members are
also welcome to attend this
six-session program.

Investigation
opened into
Dudley cemetery
BOSTON (AP) — Prosecutors have opened an
investigation into whether
federal civil rights laws were
violated by a central Massachusetts town when officials
there rejected plans for a
Muslim cemetery.
U.S. Attorney Carmen
Ortiz said Thursday the investigation will determine
whether the town of Dudley
violated the right to religious exercise by the Islamic
Society of Greater Worcester. The Islamic group wants
to use 55 acres of farmland
in Dudley for a Muslim
cemetery, but town officials
rejected the plan, citing traffic and environmental concerns.
A lawyer for the group
has suggested that antiMuslim bias played a role in
the town’s decision to deny
needed permits for the cemetery.
Red Cross offers free installation of smoke
detectors and one carbon monixide detector
AREA — The American
Red Cross in Massachusetts
has announced that under
their national Home Fire
Campaign they are now installing free smoke detectors and a carbon monoxide
detector in homes in central
Massachusetts. Residents can have up
to three smoke detectors
and one carbon monoxide
detector installed in their
home. These free alarms
and detectors are donated
through the Red Cross and
must be installed by Red
Cross volunteers. There is
no cost to the homeowner/
resident.
Homes and apartments
without
smoke
alarms
should have smoke detec-
tors installed and this program can provide them
without cost. The Red Cross
installs photoelectric smoke
alarms in compliance with
Massachusetts regulations. Smoke alarms wear out
over time and smoke detectors older than 10 years old
should be replaced. Older
smoke detectors might
work when the test button is
pushed but may not rapidly
detect smoke. The Red Cross will only
replace
battery-powered
alarms. They do not replace
hard-wired smoke detectors.
The goal of this campaign
is to reduce deaths and injuries from home fires by 25
percent by October 2019.
While the installation is being done, a Red Cross volunteer will provide the resident with home fire safety
prevention and response
information designed to
improve the safety of the
home and the residents.
Call the Red Cross Home
Fire Campaign Hotline at
800-746-3511 to request
free smoke detectors.
The Red Cross of Central Massachusetts is located at 2000 Century Dr.,
Worcester, and responds to
all communities in central
Massachusetts. When a resident is displaced by a fire,
the Red Cross will respond
and provide assistance and
resources needed to recover
from the fire. Orange Cultural Council accepting online apps

DEA’s pot designation is very
definition of ‘Reefer Madness’
rug Enforcement Administration
officials must be smoking something if they actually believe that heroin
and marijuana deserve to be listed in the
same category as controlled substances
posing extreme dangers to public health.
The two aren’t even in the same drug
universe.
For years, the DEA has designated
marijuana, along with heroin, ecstasy,
LSD and peyote, as Schedule I controlled substances. “Schedule I drugs are
considered the most dangerous class of
drugs with a high potential for abuse and
potentially severe psychological and/or
physical dependence,” the DEA says.
That not only ignores reality and
makes almost no scientific sense, but in
effect ties the hands of researchers looking for ways to expand the legitimate
medicinal uses of marijuana. But last
week the DEA reaffirmed marijuana’s
Schedule I classification, though it made
it easier for research facilities to get permission to grow and study it.
Consider what the DEA classifies as
Schedule II drugs less threatening than
pot: the opioid drug fentanyl, which was
behind the death of rock star Prince; cocaine; methamphetamine; and oxycodone -- uniformly decried by U.S. officials
as contributing to the nation’s opioid
and heroin addiction epidemic.
The National Institute on Drug Abuse
reports that in 2014, 4.176 million people
in the U.S. “abused” marijuana. About
3 percent, or 138,000, sought treatment
for dependency. That same year, the
National Institutes of Health stated that
215 million Americans older than 18 reported having drunk alcohol, 16.3 mil-
lion of whom acknowledged having alcohol use disorder. Despite an addiction
rate far higher than marijuana, alcohol
gets a pass under the DEA’s standards.
Medicinal or recreational marijuana
use is legal in 25 states. Alcohol and
marijuana are the two most popular
recreational intoxicants. The only difference is that any use of marijuana is labeled 100 percent of the time as “abuse”
by the DEA, just like shooting up heroin. There’s less science than superstition
in this.
Exactly a century ago, this newspaper
feverishly argued that prohibition of alcohol was a bad idea, driven as it was by
one religious segment of society determined to impose its standards on the rest
of Americans. We lost that argument.
Today, it’s hard to tell what is driving
opposition to rational marijuana laws,
but the DEA’s arbitrary Schedule I classification helps make rational debate
difficult. Because federal law still bans
marijuana use, it supersedes laws in
states such as Colorado where pot can
be sold in stores.
Money from pot sales cannot be deposited because Colorado banks can’t
risk running afoul of federal law. In
states such as California, where medicinal use is allowed, some doctors hand
out prescriptions like grocery store coupons.
Meanwhile, Mexican drug cartels engage in daily bloodbaths for control of
marijuana smuggling routes into the
U.S. We wonder, then, exactly whose interests is the DEA serving?

Man can’t muster the energy
to join digital dating world
DEAR ABBY: I am 32
years old and divorced my
wife two years ago. Although I tried dating for a
bit, it was a brave new world
of online apps and profiles.
It wasn’t for me, and I became discouraged.
A year has gone by and
female friends are telling
me I need to get back out
and date. I find the whole
endeavor depressing and
prefer to spend my time
elsewhere and single. They
say my decision to stay single is emotionally driven
and I “deserve love.”
My argument against dating is that I wasn’t a good
husband and I have no interest in devoting the time
or energy to date in the
scary and confusing world
of the web. Can you settle
this dispute so that we can
stop the back-and-forth arguments? — DIVORCED
AND DATELESS
DEAR DIVORCED AND
DATELESS: I agree that
opening yourself up to
strangers can be scary. If
you are not interested in
meeting women on the internet, I won’t force you,
even though that’s how
many — although not all
— relationships start these
days.
Because that’s not your
cup of tea, there are other
ways to meet nice women,
among them getting out
and participating in activities you enjoy or volunteering for a cause you
believe in. Of course, that
necessitates being open to
having a relationship with
someone and believing you
deserve one. From the tone
of your letter, I’m not sure
you’re there yet. Not having been a good husband
the first time is no excuse if
you have learned from your
mistakes.
******
DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend and I have been dating for two years. He is in
grad school. I failed out
of community college. My
lack of education stresses
me out emotionally. I love
him very much, and I see
a future with him. But the
idea of an architect and a
community college dropout makes my heart ache.
He deserves someone more
on his intellectual level. He
is originally from another
state and this is one of the
reasons why I haven’t met
his family.
I have thought about trying to get a degree to become a certified nursing
assistant, but again there
would be a gap in our professional levels. I’m afraid
that when he does introduce me to his family they
will convince him he’s better off without me. Part of
me believes it’s true.
Please give me advice
about what to do. I don’t
want to lose him, but at the
same time, I want him to be
happy. — UNEQUAL IN
WISCONSIN
DEAR UNEQUAL: I can’t
help but wonder if you have
ever spoken with someone
who does career counseling. Some universities and
community colleges have
extension divisions that offer it. Part of the counseling involves aptitude testing, which could help you
determine what you would
be good at.
Being a nursing assistant is a respectable career
that involves responsibility and people skills. If you
feel drawn to it, then that’s
what you should pursue,
and you should not feel embarrassed or have a need to
apologize for it.

ATLANTA (AP) — Environmental groups have
filed a federal lawsuit to
stop a 516-mile-long natural
gas pipeline that would run
through three Southeastern
states.
Groups including the Sierra Club filed the lawsuit
Wednesday in the 11th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals in
Atlanta.
The suit against the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers
comes less than a week after
the $3.2-billion Sabal Trail
project received final federal
approvals, including permits
to discharge dredged materials into wetlands and other
water bodies.
The project is a joint effort by Spectra Energy, Duke
Energy and Florida Power &
Light. The pipeline will carry
natural gas from Alabama,
through Georgia, into Florida.
We welcome your opinions!

Kirby spoke a day after
The Wall Street Journal reported new details of the
crisscrossing planes on that
day. U.S. officials wouldn’t
let Iran bring the cash home
from a Geneva airport until a Swiss Air Force plane
carrying three of the freed
Americans departed from
Tehran, the paper reported.
The fourth American left on
a commercial flight.
Earlier this month, after
the revelation the U.S. delivered the money in pallets
of cash, the administration
flatly denied any connection
between the payment and
the prisoners.
“Reports of link between
prisoner release & payment to Iran are completely
false,” Kirby tweeted at the
time.
The money comes from an
account used by the Iranian
government to buy American military equipment in
the days of the U.S.-backed
shah. The equipment was
never delivered after the
shah’s government was
overthrown in 1979 and revolutionaries took American
hostages at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. The two sides
have wrangled over that account and numerous other
financial claims ever since.
Obama has said his negotiators secured the U.S. a
good deal on a busy diplomatic weekend that also included finalizing the sevennation nuclear accord. But
he and other officials have
consistently denied any linkages.
“We actually had diplomatic negotiations and
conversations with Iran for
the first time in several decades,” Obama said Aug. 5,
meaning “our ability to clear
accounts on a number of
different issues at the same
time converged.”
“This wasn’t some nefarious deal,” he said.
The agreement was the
return of the $400 million,
plus an additional $1.3 billion in interest, terms that
Obama described as favorable compared to what
might have been expected
from a tribunal set up in
The Hague to rule on pending deals between the two
countries. U.S. officials have
said they expected an imminent ruling on the claim and
settled with Tehran instead.
Some Iranian officials immediately linked the payment to the release of four
Americans, including Washington Post reporter Jason
Rezaian, who had been held
in Iranian prisons.
Another of the prisoners,
pastor Saeed Abedini, also
had linked the two events.
He said that as the prisoners
waited for hours at an airport to leave Iran, a senior
Iranian intelligence official
informed them their departure depended on the plane
with the cash. U.S. officials
had pinned the delays on
difficulties finding Rezaian’s
wife and mother, and ensuring they could depart Iran
with him.

School
for the proposal at a meeting earlier this year.
Chairman Kirk Moschetti
and member John Buckley
voted in favor of the new
school.
Planning Board members
were present, but they didn’t
speak in public session.
Executive Managing Director Jonathan Winikur,
of Colliers International,
said they had an unexpected event last Tuesday when
presenting the site review
permit before the Planning
Board.
He explained that they
met with the Zoning Board
of Appeals in April about
the height exceeding the
zoning regulations by a couple of feet, protected by the
Dover Amendment.
The Planning Board expressed traffic concerns
during the July 26 meeting,
where they made a clear
request to hear from town
parties. The police and fire
chiefs both were in support
of the traffic pattern, and
the highway department
had a similar sentiment, he
said.
Winikur said they’re surprised for numerous reasons
that it is the outcome, but it
is.
He said they’ve committed $23 million.
“There’s no other site
option,”
Winikur
said.
“There’s no chance at starting over again, like I’ve
heard some people vocalize
or seen online.”
He explained they’ve
spent $3 million to date, and
they’ll be charged $1.1 million per year in legal fees for
any delay.
Supplies and equipment
were previously removed
during the summer to the
middle school to prepare for
demolition in the fall.
Haley Brooks said if the
project doesn’t continue, it’s
in essence suing the town.
“The kids have already
moved,” she said. “The
funding will come from the
town. It’s shocking to me.”
That means the Planning
Board has the option to appeal it in court, which could
take a year. Or another option is to request that the
Planning Board reopen a
public hearing after notifying abutters, which could
take a month.
The Planning Board will
meet with Town Counsel on
Tuesday, Aug. 23, at 6 p.m.
in the kiva to discuss whether the board can legally vote
it down, and how the town
should proceed.
Residents discussed their
concerns.
Vernon Street resident
Christie Schwinger said it’s
already a done deal.
“I might be in the minority here, but I’ve heard all
these concerns before,”
Schwinger said. “The majority of the town voted for it.
LEGAL NOTICE

From Page 1
And now we’re going to lose
a school for our kids? We
spent $3 million finding a
spot for this school.”
Schwinger said she understands people need to express their concerns, but it’s
not going to change the fact
that it’s already been passed
at Town Meeting.
“It is what it is,” Schwinger said. “I don’t want to
spend another million and
five years later still have no
school.”
She asked how residents
could get the word out after
indicating there were few
people in attendance.
“Does the town know
it was voted against?”
Schwinger asked. “What
should we do? Should we
stand outside and hold
signs?”
Board of Selectmen Vice
Chairman Diane Haley
Brooks, who also serves on
the building committee,
said stories were published
in The Gardner News, and
she spent the following day
on the phone and email contacting people.
Resident Jo Ellen Parker
said the issue has to do with
the road design.
“There are 11 intersections in town,” Parker said.
“The location might be a
small box, but it’s not the
school itself. Does the state
say it’s the best spot?”
Winikur said the police,
fire, and highway department collectively made the
decision.
However, Parker said
Templeton doesn’t have
much parking, and she
asked what would people do
if there were a social event
or a fire in the current location?
“I understand there’s
added parking on the side,
and drop-offs, but this affects the whole town, not
just the school,” Parker said.
“It’s unfortunate if we have
to spend more money. It’s
a town issue, not a building
committee issue.”
Resident Margo Bombard
was also concerned about
the one-way traffic pattern.
“I don’t care for the way
the roads are going at all,”
Bombard said. “I have a circular driveway, and the elderly van will have a tough
time getting to it. I’ll also
no longer be able to see the
kids playing up and down
the street downtown.”
Winikur said the police,
fire and highway department devised the one-way
traffic pattern based on
their studies.
Voters approved the total
$47.6 million school project
at a special town meeting
in March, and $22.7 million of that was promised by
the Massachusetts School
Building Authority. Templeton was to pay the remaining $24.8 million.

to preclude through the restructuring act,” the justices
declared.
David Ismay, CLF’s lead attorney in the lawsuit, said the
ruling makes clear that residential electricity customers
cannot be forced to shoulder
costs for private gas pipelines.
“Today our highest court
affirmed Massachusetts’ commitment to an open energy
future by rejecting the Baker
Administration’s attempt to
subsidize the dying fossil fuel
industry,” said Ismay, in a
statement.
ENGIE, a company that
operates a liquefied natural
gas terminal in Everett, Massachusetts, also sued to block
the tariffs.
The Department of Public
Utilities planned to suspend
hearings on agreements Eversource and National Grid
had reached with Spectra Energy for its proposed Access
Northeast pipeline while the
agency reviews the high court
decision, administration officials said. No tariffs had yet
been imposed by the state.
“Massachusetts has some
of the highest electricity rates
in the nation and without additional gas capacities and a
diverse energy portfolio, the
trends will continue to rise
overtime,” said Peter Lorenz,
a spokesman for the state Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs. He said the
DPU respects the high court’s
decision.
National Grid, in a statement, called the ruling a “disappointing setback,” but said
it would continue exploring
options for moving forward
with the Spectra pipeline.
The company said the project
would make the New England electricity grid more reliable and eventually save its
customers more than $1 billion a year.
Democratic Attorney General Maura Healey, whose office generally represents state
agencies in lawsuits, instead
filed a brief on behalf of the
plaintiffs opposing the tariffs.
The Supreme Judicial
Court’s decision “makes clear
that if pipeline developers
want to build new projects
in this state, they will need
to find a source of financing
other than electric ratepayers’
wallets,” said Healey.
The state Senate voted
earlier this year to clarify in
state law that utilities could
not pass pipeline construction
costs on to ratepayers, but
the provision was dropped
from the final version of a bill
signed last week by Baker that
seeks to boost the state’s reliance on hydropower, offshore
wind and other renewable energy sources.

Heath said residents, who
were displaced during the

there was no threat to public safety.

(AP) — The nephew of hiphop artist and reality TV
star Benzino has been convicted in connection with
Benzino’s shooting during a
funeral procession in Massachusetts.
Gai Scott was found guilty
Thursday of assault and
battery with a dangerous
weapon, but was cleared of
armed assault with intent to
murder. His sentencing is
scheduled for Aug. 26.
Benzino, whose real name
is Raymond Scott, suffered
non-life-threatening wounds
to his shoulder and back in
the March 2014 shooting.
Authorities say both men
were in moving vehicles
on the way to a Plymouth

through this event we mark
the first time since the early 1700’s that the Nipmuk
people have had a collective
community presence in the

After tracing the history
of the land Buell said, the
Earthlands land came into
the ownership of “proprietors” in the 1700s when
they traded two bushels of
snap beans to the Nipmuks
for use of the lands and then
proclaimed the land as their
property. The proprietors
were early English settlers
of the area. Buell said the
Nipmuks did not consider
land to be something to be
owned and sold then making it easy for the settlers to
come in and force them out. The donation of the land
and idea for the educational center was was an
idea of David “Tall Pine”
White and Buell since 2009.
White is a Nipmuk language
language keeper and member of the Chaubunagunga-
maug Nipmuk Indian Council of Dudley. Buell said
White, who works directly
with Nipmuk youth, is “concerned about the modern
societal influences that draw
the youth away from family,
culture, and clan. To have a
place out of the hu​stle and
bustle ​of today’s world will
open-up whole new ways of
preserving culture and guiding all members of the tribe
to a life of balance​and community purpose​.”
Those from Earthlands,
the Nipmuk community,
the town of Petersham and
those from the Quabbin region have shown support for
the project Buell said. Buell said he and Freeman were pleased with the

it in 4-3 loss to Tigers
By NOAH TRISTER
AP Baseball Writer
DETROIT (AP) — Clay Buchholz pitched well enough to give
the road-weary Red Sox a chance
to win.
The Boston bullpen couldn’t finish the job.
Brad Ziegler walked Andrew Romine with the bases loaded to cap a
three-run eighth inning for Detroit,
and the Tigers held on for a 4-3 win
Thursday, snapping Boston’s sixgame winning streak.
The Red Sox won at Baltimore
on Wednesday night, and manager
John Farrell said they arrived at
their hotel around 4 a.m. Thursday
— about nine hours before the first
pitch. David Ortiz and Dustin Pedroia were out of the starting lineup.
“I thought we brought great energy considering the circumstances
coming into this ballgame,” Farrell
said. “We fought hard.”
Boston played in its fourth city
in five days. The team was home
at Fenway Park on Sunday, had a
makeup game Monday in Cleveland, then went to a two-game series
in Baltimore.
Buchholz and Detroit’s Matt
Boyd each allowed a run in six innings, leaving the game in the hands
of the relievers.
“I felt good. I went with out of the
stretch the whole start, less moving
parts for me, just things I’ve been
working on,” Buchholz said. “I feel
like that keeps me over the rubber
a little bit longer and enables me to
command a little bit better.”
The Red Sox scored twice in the
eighth to go up 3-1, but the Tigers
rallied. Miguel Cabrera’s run-scoring single made it 3-2 and gave him
1,000 RBIs for his Detroit tenure
— and 1,523 overall in a career that
started in 2003 with the Marlins.
“Playing eight, nine years here, it
made me proud, because you don’t
see that too often right now because
all the trades, the situation around
baseball,” Cabrera said. “It’s hard to
play with one team for a long time.”
Ziegler came on and allowed a tying single to Victor Martinez. J.D.
Martinez walked to load the bases
with nobody out, but a grounder
and a strikeout left the bases still
loaded.
Romine then drew a walk to put
Detroit ahead.
Boston threatened in the ninth
against Francisco Rodriguez. Ortiz’s
pinch-hit single put men on first and
second with one out, and Xander
Bogaerts moved the runners over
with a groundout. Mookie Betts hit
a line drive, but second baseman
Ian Kinsler was well positioned and
needed to move only slightly to his
right to make the catch for the final
out.
Rodriguez got his 34th save in 37
chances.
Justin Wilson (3-4) won in relief.
Junichi Tazawa (2-2) failed to retire
a batter in the eighth.
Sandy Leon homered for Boston.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit a sacrifice fly for Detroit in the second,
and Leon tied it in the fourth with a
leadoff homer.
Hanley Ramirez hit an RBI single
for Boston in the eighth, and Betts
scored on a wild pitch.
WILD INNING
Detroit’s first run came after a
crucial reversal in the second. Casey
McGehee of the Tigers was initially called out when center fielder
Jackie Bradley Jr. made a diving attempt on his flyball in right-center.
Replays clearly showed that Bradley
hadn’t caught the ball, and after a
review, umpires awarded McGehee
first base and put J.D. Martinez on
third.
Boston third base coach Brian
Butterfield was then ejected while
Saltalamacchia batted.
“I think Mr. Butterfield was arguing out on balls and strikes with
(plate umpire Scott Barry), and he
warned him a couple times and he
didn’t pay any attention to the warnings,” said crew chief Jerry Layne,
who was umpiring first. “Whether
he wanted to go or not, he didn’t
pay any attention to what was going
to happen if he continued, and he
was ejected.”
TRAINER’S ROOM

bullpen session by Saturday.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP)
— Tom Brady sat out his second
straight preseason game, while the
guy that will replace him at the start
of the regular season continued to
make progress.
Brady did not go through pregame warmups Thursday night and
never made it to the field for the
New England Patriots’ 23-22 win
over the Chicago Bears. He had
been expected to make his debut
after missing last week’s game to attend memorial services for a family
member.
Jimmy Garoppolo will start the
first four games of the regular season while Brady serves his “Deflategate” suspension, and he made the
most of the extra playing time.
Asked about a report that Brady
accidently cut his hand pregame,
coach Bill Belichick said it was his
call to only play Garoppolo and
rookie Jacoby Brissett.
“I made the decision for him not
to play tonight,” Belichick said.
Garoppolo threaded a 16-yard
touchdown pass in the back of the
end zone to A.J. Derby late in the
first half for his first TD pass of the
preseason. He played the entire first
half and one series in the second
half, finishing 16 of 21 for 181 yards.
Jay Cutler and Chicago’s offense
started the game with a lot more pep
following an anemic effort in the
opener last week.
The Bears gained 78 yards of offense in the first half of their 22-0
loss to Denver last week. Chicago
gained 59 yards in its first drive
Thursday and surpassed last week’s
total in its second possession.
Cutler played three series, completing 8 of 12 passes for 83 yards.
Jeremy Langford also had a nice
game, rushing eight times for 55
yards and a touchdown.
The Patriots are away for their final two preseason games, so Thursday marked Brady’s last opportunity
to play in Foxborough until at least
Oct. 16. His four-game suspension
ends Oct. 3, but New England plays
at Cleveland on Oct. 9 in what is expected to be Brady’s regular-season
debut.
GOING FOR TWO — New England Patriots quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (10) signals to teammates during the second half
of a preseason NFL football game against the Chicago Bears
Thursday, in Foxborough, Mass.
ROOKIE WATCH
Bears: DL Jonathan Bullard, a
third-round pick out of Florida, and
Georgia first-rounder LB Leonard
Floyd got together to corral Brissett
for a sack late in the third quarter.
Patriots CB Cyrus Jones continues to make a case for playing time
in an already stacked New England
secondary. He came away with
his second turnover in two weeks,
this time stepping in front of Bears
backup quarterback Brian Hoyer’s
first pass for an interception in the
second quarter. He had a fumble recovery last week.
POSITION BATTLES
Bears: Though he never got a
clean hit on a Patriots quarterback,
Floyd did force some quick throws,
and was one of the few positives for
Chicago’s reserves. ...TE Rob Housler showed off some speed with a
52-yard catch and run in the fourth
quarter.
Patriots: Tight end A.J. Derby may
have put some distance between
himself, Bear Pascoe and Clay Harbor in the competition for the third
tight end spot. Derby was all over
the field, catching six passes for 71
yards and a touchdown. WR Chris
Hogan, an offseason free agent pickup, took off his noncontact jersey
AP Photo/Charles Krupa
this week during practice and had a
solid debut for the Patriots. He had
four catches for 53 yards.
INJURY UPDATE
Bears: CB Jacoby Glenn started in
place of Kyle Fuller (sore knee), but
left in the third quarter with a concussion. TE Zach Miller and WR
Eddie Royal both sat out Thursday’s
game as they recover from concussions.
Patriots: WR Julian Edelman was
held out as he continues to take it
easy after having a minor procedure
this spring on his surgically repaired
left foot. TE Rob Gronkowski, also
sat out for the second consecutive
game after leaving the first practice
of the week early with an undisclosed issue. WR Malcolm Mitchell
(left elbow) was also out.
QUOTABLE
Bears: Coach John Fox on the offense’s effort this week: “We were
disappointed in our performance
last week. That was pretty well documented. And so guys get challenged.
And they responded.”
Patriots: Belichick, on Garoppolo having to adjust after the decision not to play Brady: “Sometimes
things happen and they change. On
offense quarterbacks refer to that as
an audible.”

Steelers’ Harrison willing to talk PEDs with NFL
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James
Harrison is willing to meet with the
NFL to discuss an alleged link to
performance-enhancing drugs —
but only five days after a deadline
the league has imposed while threatening him and three other players
with indefinite suspensions.
NFL Players Association attorney
Heather McPhee sent a letter to the
NFL on Thursday, accusing it of trying to “bully and publicly shame”
Harrison without offering evidence
beyond a brief mention in television
interview last year that was recanted
by the accuser.
“When it came down to it, (if) I
got the suspension, the bigger outcome wasn’t really worth it,” Harrison said after the Steelers’ 17-0
home exhibition loss to Philadelphia
on Thursday night. “I wouldn’t be
on the team, it would hurt the team,
it would hurt my teammates and
coaches, so it was easier to do the
interview.”
Green Bay’s Clay Matthews and
Julius Peppers, and free-agent Mike
Neal also were threatened with suspensions. It was not immediately
known if a similar meeting was being
proposed by the union.
“I’m just glad the process is moving forward,” Green Bay coach Mike
McCarthy said after the Packers’
20-12 home victory over Oakland
on Thursday night. “As already has
been stated, as an organization, we
support Clay and Julius. And we’re
looking to get this resolved as soon
as possible.”
The league’s deadline for cooperation from the four players is Aug.
25. McPhee’s letter says Harrison
would meet with the NFL at 5 p.m.
on Aug. 30 at the team’s facility, and
would only discuss the portion of
the Al-Jazeera interview that mentioned the 14-year veteran.
In the report, Charlie Sly, who
worked as an intern at an anti-aging clinic, made claims of PED use
against several athletes, including
the four linebackers. Sly later recanted his claims.
“Is the NFL aware of any credible
evidence — other than the recanted
remarks by one individual shown
by Al-Jazeera — that indicates that
there is any validity to the remarks
about Mr. Harrison?” McPhee
wrote to Adolpho Birch, the NFL’s
senior vice president for labor policy
and league affairs.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy
said the league has yet to respond to
the letter.
Retired quarterback Peyton Manning also was cited in the report, but
the NFL cleared him after a separate
investigation in which the former Indianapolis and Denver star granted
interviews and provided all records
sought by league investigators.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Former NFL star Darren Sharper was
sentenced Thursday to more than 18
years in prison for drugging women
in order to rape them — double the
sentence recommended by prosecutors.
One of Sharper’s victims — the
only one to speak at his sentencing
hearing — rebuffed his display of
contrition.

The former New Orleans Saints
safety, jailed since February 2014,
apologized and appeared chastened
by his fall from grace.
“I would like to apologize a thousand times,” the 40-year-old Sharper said. Later, he said, looking down
and sighing, “I’m still trying to figure out why I made some of these
choices.”
His voice quivered and choked
with emotion when he apologized to
his parents.
U.S. District Judge Jane Triche
Milazzo, in sentencing Sharper, told
him she couldn’t understand how he
did what he did, since he was college
educated and obviously had grown
up “in one of the most loving households.”
“We can never ignore the damage
you inflicted on those women and
society at large,” she said.
Sharper had pleaded guilty in federal court in New Orleans to drugging three women so he could rape
them. He also has pleaded guilty or
no contest in state courts in Louisiana, Arizona, California and Nevada to charges arising from allegations of drugging and raping women.

Ashton Eaton ties Olympic record,
but Usain Bolt steals the show again
By GERALD IMRAY
AP Sports Writer
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP)
— Ashton Eaton retained
his title as the best all-around
athlete in the world by tying
the decathlon Olympic record in Rio de Janeiro — but
within minutes, track and
field’s ultimate superstar took
back the center stage again.
What more could the now
two-time Olympic champion
Eaton do Thursday night
to get just a little sliver of
the limelight that beams so
brightly on Usain Bolt?
Not much. But the evergracious Eaton is OK with
that.
“I had the pleasure of being in the same era as Usain
Bolt,” Eaton said. “I mean,
the guy’s last name is Bolt.
He’s the fastest man ever.
You can’t write a story like
that.”
You can try.
For his own impressive tale,
the American made it backto-back Olympic and world
titles in the decathlon, an
event Eaton has ruled since
he rebounded from silver at
the worlds in 2011 to claim
the next four major gold medals available. From throwing,
to jumping, to running, Eaton
can do it all.
But then Bolt — a Jamaican who just deals in speed
— roared around the bend at
the Olympic Stadium to win
the 200 meters in 19.78 seconds, completing act two of
his three-part quest for gold
and history in Rio.
Maybe there was some
comfort for Eaton — and
loads of other athletes looking for some attention — with
Bolt’s suggestion afterward
that he’s nearly done.
“On the straight, my body
didn’t respond. I’m getting
old,” said Bolt, who was trying to break his own world
record of 19.19.
Friday’s 4x100-meter relay final is all that’s left now
between Bolt and an historic
three golds at three straight
Olympics. Concentrating on
not messing that up for Bolt,
a Jamaica team led by Asafa
Powell got into the final in
an important moment for
the big man’s legacy. They
finished second in their heat
behind Japan.

Olympics at the Olympic stadium in Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil, Thursday.

“There was some pressure to make it to the finals,”
Powell said, relieved he didn’t
have to deliver any bad news
as Bolt prepared for the 200
final.
Wednesday produced an
“awesome hour” for the U.S.
track team, according to Tianna Bartoletta. By Thursday
night, that had evolved into a
pretty great 24 hours.
Alongside Eaton’s triumph, Ryan Crouser led an
American one-two in the shot
put, also setting a new Olympic record of 22.52 meters to
win his first major title from
world champion Joe Kovacs.
Dalilah Muhammad kept
the U.S. total ticking on with
gold in the women’s 400-meter hurdles and Ashley Spencer added a bronze, with
another American 1-2 only
just thwarted by Denmark’s
Sara Slott Petersen. Kerron
Clement also won his first individual Olympic gold in the
400-meter hurdles.
“We are making history out
here,” Muhammad said of
the U.S. team’s gold rush.
The crowd at a near-full
Olympic Stadium was constantly reminded of that, as
a series of medal ceremonies
started with the words: “O say
can you see...”
With three days remaining,
the United States was up to
24 medals in track and field,
eight of them gold. The U.S.
won 29 medals, including
nine golds, in London.
For a few short moments,
the U.S. women’s 4x100 relay team was a little like Bolt:
They were the only ones everyone was looking at. The
team was running alone on
the track, seeking to qualify
after successfully protesting
that they were bumped in
qualifiers.

blocks in lane 2 for the team’s

No. 1 US women fall in 5 sets
in volleyball semis to Serbia
By JANIE McCAULEY
AP Sports Writer
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP)
— Leaning over, hands on
her knees and cheering at every chance, injured U.S. star
Foluke Akinradewo could
only watch. The top-ranked
Americans had fought back
to force a fifth set against
Serbia before falling short —
short of the gold-medal goal
that had driven her and others back to the national team
for one more Olympic cycle.
Serbia’s players cried in triumph after the biggest win in
their program’s history. They
reached the Rio de Janeiro
championship, guaranteeing
the country’s first women’s
volleyball medal after a 2025, 25-17, 25-21, 16-25, 15-13
victory.
Serbia plays Saturday night
against China, a four-set winner over the Netherlands.
China needed six set points
to take the opening frame on
the way to a hard-fought 2725, 23-25, 29-27, 25-23.
The American coaches
were scouting the thriller.
“Right now, this loss is
deeply disappointing. It cuts
deep. It’s very painful, and
that’s OK,” U.S. coach Karch
Kiraly said. “When you care
that much, it’s going to. We’re
going to process that some,
we get some time to grieve.
We signed up to do difficult
things with USA and we’re
going to come back harder
the next 48 hours to fight for
the bronze medal.”
Akinradewo’s teammates
took over after she was sidelined by an apparent left knee
injury late in the opening set
after beginning the match
brilliantly. She tried to give it
a go, but the leg didn’t let her.
Akinradewo will undergo
tests to determine whether
she might play Saturday.
“It was tough when Foluke
went down. I think we were a
little distracted there for a sec-
ond because we care so much
for her,” captain Christa Dietzen said, briefly becoming
emotional. “Obviously we
wanted to turn this around,
for her, for everybody that’s
part of this program. We have
a chance in the next 48 hours
to do so.”
Akinradewo stood next
to Kiraly during timeouts,
shaking her head and yelling,
“Come on!”
Kiraly switched his lineup
in her absence, then switched
it again. Serbia kept pounding, digging out balls, leaping
for blocks and serving with
precision.
only — after they fumbled
the baton in their original
qualifier. With just the clock
and the crowd for company,
the Americans took the baton around in 41.77 seconds
to reach the final.
“Our coach said before
we went out there, ‘It’s just
like practice, just the whole
world will be watching,’” said
English Gardner, who ran the
third leg.
Eaton finished with 8,893
points, digging deep through
the final lap of the last event,
the 1,500 meters, to cross the
line third, incredibly matching exactly the Olympic record after 10 events over two
days.
“How can’t there be one
stinking point in there somewhere?” Eaton said.
Eaton had briefly darted
away from the decathlon to
congratulate Clement as his
teammate knelt exhausted
in the midday sun after winning the hurdles, an indicator
of the good feelings surging
through the U.S. track team
right now.
Croatia’s Sara Kolak won
the women’s javelin, another
first-time Olympic champion
like Crouser.
And South Africa’s Caster
Semenya, the favorite for
the women’s 800-meter title,
qualified fastest for the final as she breezed to victory
in her semifinal in 1 minute,
58.15 seconds. Semenya,
another compelling story at
these games but for different
reasons to Bolt, will run in the
800 final on Saturday.
By then, Bolt says he will be
done at the Olympics forever.
“I’ve worked all my career,
all my life, for this moment,”
Bolt said. “So hopefully people can read about me as the
greatest.”

2 US swimmers leave Rio after
robbery scandal; 3rd pays fine
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP)
— Two American Olympic swimmers were on their
way home Friday after being
pulled off a plane a day earlier to testify about an alleged
robbery at the Rio Olympics
that Brazilian police said was
made up. The lawyer for a
third U.S. swimmer said he
would make a $10,800 payment and leave Brazil later in
the day.
The drama surrounding
the alleged robbery of American swimmers — and their
ever-changing descriptions of
it — has shocked and deeply
angered Brazilians, who said
it cast a false negative shadow
on their city and their Olympics. The story has also dominated Olympic headlines,
overshadowing the worthy
accomplishments of athletes
who had trained for years just
to get to Rio and set records
during their performances at
these Olympics.
The rapid-fire developments early Friday came
hours after police announced
that Ryan Lochte and three
of his teammates had not
been held at gunpoint after a night of partying, as he
claimed. Instead, Brazilian
police said the men, while
intoxicated, vandalized a gas
station bathroom and were
questioned by armed guards
before they paid for the damage and left.
The saga was an enormous
embarrassment for the U.S.
Olympic team, which had
otherwise dominated the
games. It also deeply wounded a country eager to prove it
could host the first games in
Latin America despite concerns it could not keep athletes and spectators safe from
rampant street crime.
“No robbery was committed against these athletes.
They were not victims of the
crimes they claimed,” Civil
Police Chief Fernando Veloso told a news conference.
As two of the swimmers,
Gunnar Bentz and Jack Conger, were whisked through
airport security and onto
a plane home Thursday
night, their attorney insisted
they had nothing to do with
Lochte’s story. Lochte himself left the country earlier
this week.
Bentz and Conger were
heard only as witnesses.

US beats France 86-67, advances to women’s final
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP)
— It’s rare to see the U.S.
women’s basketball team
struggle during the Olympics.
Then again, they’ve had Sue
Bird running the show for
over a decade.
With the starting point
guard sidelined with a knee
injury, the Americans were
out of sorts for a half before
finally getting it together to
pull away from France in an
86-67 win in the semifinals
Thursday night. Now they’re
back in the Olympic final
once again, one victory away
from a sixth consecutive gold
medal.
U.S. coach Geno Auriemma made it a point, however,
after the game to stress that
unforeseen
developments
like Bird’s injury makes it a
little bit harder than just who
the U.S. will beat next and
“when’s the gold medal ceremony.”
“It’s not like that,” Auriemma said, “and our players really found out today that
without Sue it’s certainly not
going to be like that. There’s
a big difference in our team
the way we played today and
the way we played the other
six games.”
Bird’s status for Saturday’s
final versus Spain is unclear.
The US and Spain played in
the preliminary round and the
U.S. won that one by 40. The
Americans also beat Spain in
the 2014 world championship
by 13.
“It’s going to be the same
old dance,” Diana Taurasi
said. “They have world class
players. ... This is going to
be a great game between
great teams and great players
alike.”
Taurasi scored 18 points
and Maya Moore added 15
against France in what was
the closest game of the Olympics for the Americans. It was
a rematch of the 2012 London
Games gold medal contest.
The U.S. won that one by 36
points, but had a much harder
time in this one without Bird.
The point guard sprained
her right knee capsule in the
quarterfinals and has been
listed as day-to-day. She had
started every game for the
U.S. the past three Olympics
and been a calming influence
on offense for the Americans.
Brid said she plans to practice
Friday.

3 arrested in heroin patrol
KEENE, N.H. — Three
New Hampshire residents
were arrested on warrants
Wednesday during an enhanced criminal patrol targeting individuals involved
in heroin sales.
Glen Goodwin, 24, of
Fitzwilliam, is charged with
one count of sale of a controlled drug, a felony offense, for an incident occurring on July 11. The court
complaint is as follows: “…
the defendant did unlawfully and knowingly sell a
quantity of a controlled
drug, to wit; heroin, to a
subject cooperating with the
New Hampshire Drug Task
Force for the sum of $200 in
US currency.” Goodwin was released on
$10,000 personal recognizance bail and is scheduled
to be arraigned before the
Cheshire Superior Court on
Sept. 1. Jonathan R. Poanessa, 20,
of Swanzey, is also charged
with one count of sale of a
controlled drug for an incident occurring in May of
2016. The court complaint
alleges: “…the defendant
did knowingly sell a controlled drug to another, to
wit, a quantity of cocaine,
for $100.”
Poanessa is currently on
probation for a 2014 drug
offense. He was held without bail, and will be arraigned before the Cheshire
Superior Court on a day to
be determined.
Dakota A. Keller, 25, of
Keene, is charged with a
probation violation relating to a willful concealment
charge from March of 2015.
Keller was held in lieu of
$1,500 cash bail, and will
be arraigned before the 8th
Circuit Keene Court on
Sept. 18.
All three warrants were
issued by the 8th Circuit
Keene Court.
The investigation was conducted by the Keene Police
Department, New Hampshire State Police, Cheshire
County Sheriff’s Office and
the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Drug Task
Force.
The cases remain under
investigation. Anyone who
has further information is
encouraged to call Keene
Police at 603-357-9820, and
ask to speak to Det. Don
Lundin or Det. Jen Ramey.

LOWELL, Mass. (AP) — A teaching assistant and
basketball coach at a Massachusetts middle school has
been acquitted of charges that threw a Rubik’s Cube at
a student.
A judge Wednesday said there was no evidence that
Matthew Fraser intentionally threw the Rubik’s Cube at
the 14-year-old boy and entered a not guilty verdict to a
charge of assault with a dangerous weapon.
The Sun reports that witnesses testified that the paraprofessional at Lowell’s Sullivan Middle School argued
with the student in January the day after he felt the teen’s
unsportsmanlike behavior cost the school a basketball
game.
Witnesses say Fraser “spiked” the puzzle into the floor,
but the student was already far down the hallway and it
did not hit him.
Fraser’s attorney says his client wants to get back to
work.
Ex-Uber driver held without bail
MALDEN, Mass. (AP) — A former Massachusetts
Uber driver charged with raping a teenage passenger in
a parking lot last month was ordered held without bail
following a dangerousness hearing.
The Boston Globe reports 34-year-old Darnell Booth
was denied bail Thursday following the hearing in Malden District Court.
Prosecutors say Booth was giving the 16-year-old Everett girl a ride to summer school on July 5 when he
parked in a vacant lot and raped her. The alleged assault occurred about a week after Booth initially met
the victim through Uber.
San Francisco-based Uber has said Booth wasn’t
driving for the company at the time.
Booth pleaded not guilty to rape charges last week.
His attorney says Booth “adamantly asserts” his innocence.

Authorities probe death of 15-month-old
WOBURN, Mass. (AP) — The Middlesex District
Attorney’s Office and Woburn police are investigating the death of a 15-month-old boy.
Officials say the toddler, who had been hospitalized since Monday, died Thursday night at Boston
Children’s Hospital.
Officials say the matter is now being referred to
the medical examiner’s office.
No additional information was immediately available.
The investigation is ongoing.
Motorist runs down 3 tourists
BOSTON (AP) — Three pedestrians on a guided
walking tour of Boston’s Freedom Trail were injured
after a motorist barreled into the group while they
were crossing the street.
Police were dispatched to the scene near Washington and School streets just before noon Thursday following reports of the collision. The tour group had
been crossing School Street when a silver MercedesBenz sedan struck two women and a child.
Witnesses immediately rushed to the aid of the victims. Approximately 10 people worked together to lift
the vehicle off of one of the women, who was pinned
underneath.
Police say the victims were all hospitalized for injuries not considered to be life-threatening.
The driver remained at the scene and was not
charged as of Thursday afternoon. An investigation is
ongoing.

Man spoke
with IS while
planning attack
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)
— A federal indictment alleges that a North Carolina
man accused of plotting a terror attack in the U.S. communicated with a member of the
Islamic State as he developed
his plans.
The indictment filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in
Charlotte said Justin Nojan
Sullivan spoke with Junaid
Hussain in June 2015 via social media about making a
video of a terrorist attack in
the U.S. to be used by IS.
The original indictment
unsealed in February accused
Sullivan of killing his neighbor
and stealing his money so he
could buy an assault rifle to
carry out an IS-inspired shooting at a concert or club. The
indictment said Sullivan offered an undercover FBI employee money to kill his parents, who he believed would
interfere with his plans.
In the initial indictment,
Sullivan was accused of planning to use an assault rifle and
silencer to carry out an attack
at a concert, bar or club, which
he believed would kill as many
as 1,000 people.
A grand jury in Burke
County also indicted Sullivan in February on a murder
charge in the death of 74-yearold John Bailey Clark, who
lived a few doors down from
him, said District Attorney
David Learner.
In December 2014, he used
a .22-caliber rifle stolen from
his father’s gun cabinet to
shoot Clark in the head, the
federal indictment said. A
news release said forensic testing shows the rifle was used to
kill Clark.
Federal authorities said
they began investigating Sullivan after his father called 911
in April 2015 saying his son
was destroying religious items
in their home in Morganton.
He was arrested at the family’s home without incident on
June 19, and later told investigators that he planned to carry
out an attack in the coming
days when his parents were
expected to be out of town,
investigators have said.

Dear PC Doctor:
Prior to the July 29 deadline, I tried to install Windows
10 on my computer. It said my
computer was compatible with
Windows 10. The “installer” is
on my desktop — but progress
is stalled at 99 percent. My computer still works fine; it’s just still
running Windows 7. Has this
happened to anyone else? Will
I be able to get Windows 10?
Thank you.
Yvette
Dear Yvette:
It must have happened to
lots of people, because Microsoft has a web page dedicated
to this problem! According to
the site, upgrading to Windows
10 should have taken your
computer about 90 minutes.
In your case, it does sound like
some days have passed without
result. Microsoft recommends
giving it at least a whole day.
Other experienced computer
users suggest upgrading to
Windows 10 manually. First,
back up everything that’s important onto some separate
back up device, (flash drive,
external hard drive, etc.), also,
unplug anything you have
connected to your computer
(printer, scanner, etc.) Then reboot your computer. Once your
computer restarts, you can try
visiting the Microsoft site and
downloading the Media Creation Tool for Windows 10. A
basic internet search should get
you there. Download the tool
and follow each of the prompts
as it appears on screen.
If after trying this your computer has still not installed
Windows 10, it might be a
larger issue. You could call in
professionals or, if Windows
7 is running fine and you are
happy, you could use your computer as it is, without Windows
10.
I hope this helps!
Until next time... happy computing!

Season of the Leo Sun It’s a fashion crime to wear unseasonable
colors, but it’s an actual crime to do other things out of season,
such as drinking beer while young or hunting animals at the wrong
time of year. These last days of the Leo sun represent a playful
cosmic moment. It would be a crime not to savor the recess time.
Responsibility is so next season! ARIES (March 21-April 19). You don’t need a problem to push
you to be your best. Improvement is in your nature. In fact, the only
problem in sight today is that you’ve already improved to such a
high level that you’re not sure where to go next.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re not going to switch jobs today
or tomorrow but you can see a dot on that employment horizon,
growing as it nears you. Change is coming. Question: If money
were no issue, where do you think you might like to fit in?
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Is the moment lush with silence, or is it
awkward with the tension of not knowing what to say? Well, luckily you don’t have to be the judge. Time will hand down the truest
verdict. Until then, shrug it off.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Excitement bubbles up from new developments in your personal life. It’s too soon to predict how this
relationship will grow, but decide to have a good time no matter
what and it will all work in your favor.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Fearlessness is artless and boring. Your
fear is beautiful! Claim it. Then use it with grace. Like a gymnast,
thrust your heart over the bar and the rest of you will follow.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re trying to relate to the other person, not outdo the other person. With this in mind, you’ll probably
hold back a few of your stories. Anyway, you’ll learn more and love
better through listening than you will through talking.
WIYAKA REUNION PLANNED — A reunion for females who have attended
Camp Wiyaka since 1921 to the present day will be held on Saturday, Sept.
10, at the camp located at 100 Sandy Pond Rd., Richmond, N.H. Registration
will take place from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. During that time attendees will be
able to view old camp photographs and share memories while reuniting with
old friends. A potluck lunch will take place at noon, all are asked to bring a
dish. Crafts and games will also take place. Juice and cookies will be served
around 3:30 in the afternoon. A weiner roast will happen at 5 o’clock, followed
by a campfire at 7 o’clock. Left to right — Robin (Rousselle) Gleason, Chante
(Eseleman) Jillson, Patricia (Murphy) Pierson, Michelle (Savoy) Kennedy,
Joanne (Woessner) Cole, Gail (Maroni) Pease, Elaine (Woessner) Heath, Jean
(Woessner) Fountain, Victoria Varno. Submitted photo
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The ones who are trying to help you will
wind up doing just that — after they put you through some paces.
No, this exchange won’t be so straightforward. The roads will wind
and cross. Be patient.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Remember when you concerned
yourself with being very, very good? You’d be hard pressed to say
if it made a positive difference. Anyway, tonight, a little bit of wickedness is the spice that lights up the whole dinner.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It takes quite a lot of energy
to control the scene, and the planning will just drag on and on.
Another way is to leave the others on their own and see what they
come up with.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You enjoy a spritz of kookiness
now and then, and you’ll get a whole luxurious spoonful of it with
the interesting cast of characters who surround you today.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Anticipation is a certain brand of
joy. What comes before the exciting part will be the real exciting
part. Of course, there is no anticipation without that future event.
Set it up if you haven’t already.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You feel that the one who wronged
you still hasn’t been adequately punished. It’s a seductive problem, but truly, to focus your energy there would only rob you of this
beautiful weekend.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 20). You’re still deciding who to be.
Your flexible, curious and experimental mindset keeps you creating. Many find you mysterious and attractive. You’ll be swept into
one adventure after the other and rarely will you have to foot the
bill. Taurus and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 40,
24, 1 and 16.

Thompson returns antlers
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A
young Hunter S. Thompson went to Idaho to write
about Ernest Hemingway
and decided to take a piece
of his hero home with him
— a set of trophy elk antlers.
More than half a century
later, the gonzo journalist’s
wife returned the antlers
to Hemingway’s house in
the mountain town of Ketchum.
“One of the stories that
has often been told over
the years is the story of
Hunter S. Thompson taking the antlers,” said Jenny
Emery Davidson of Ketchum Community Library.
“These are two great literary figures who came together over the item of the
antlers.”
Davidson was there on
Aug. 5 when Thompson’s
widow, Anita Thompson,
gave back the antlers she
says her husband regretted
taking. Hemingway’s house
is owned by The Nature
Conservancy, which has an
agreement with the library
to help catalog and preserve items in the residence
where the author took his
own life.
In 1964, Hunter Thompson, then 27, came to Ketchum when he was still a
conventional
journalist.
He had not yet developed
his signature style, dubbed
gonzo journalism, that involved inserting himself,
often outrageously, into
his reporting and that propelled him into a largerthan-life figure.

By The Associated Press
Today is Friday, Aug. 19,
the 232nd day of 2016. There
are 134 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Aug. 19, 1991, Soviet
hard-liners stunned the world
by announcing that President
Mikhail S. Gorbachev had
been removed from power.
(The coup attempt collapsed
two days later.)

“Old Ironsides.”
In 1814, during the War of
1812, British forces landed at
Benedict, Maryland, with the
objective of capturing Washington D.C.
In 1934, a plebiscite in Germany approved the vesting of
sole executive power in Adolf
Hitler.
In 1942, during World War
II, about 6,000 Canadian and
British soldiers launched a
disastrous raid against the
Germans at Dieppe, France,
suffering more than 50-percent casualties.
In 1964, The Beatles
opened their first full-fledged
U.S. tour as they performed
at San Francisco’s Cow Palace.
In 1976, President Gerald
R. Ford won the Republican presidential nomination

killed by a Jewish driver from
the ultra-Orthodox Lubavitch
community; three hours
later, a gang of blacks fatally
stabbed Yankel Rosenbaum,
a rabbinical student.
Ten years ago: Israeli commandos raided a Hezbollah
stronghold deep in Lebanon. (Israel said the raid was
launched to stop arms smuggling from Iran and Syria to
the militant Shiite fighters;
Lebanon called the operation a “flagrant violation” of
a U.N. truce.)
Five years ago: Three men
— Damien Echols, Jason
Baldwin and Jesse Misskelley
— who’d spent nearly two decades in prison for the nightmarish slayings of three Cub
Scouts in Arkansas, went free
after they agreed to a legal
maneuver allowing them to
maintain their innocence
while acknowledging prosecutors had enough evidence
against them. Danell Leyva
beat two-time defending
champion Jonathan Horton
for his first title at the U.S.
gymnastics championships in
St. Paul, Minnesota.
One year ago: Longtime
Subway pitchman Jared Fogle agreed in federal court in
Indianapolis to plead guilty
to allegations that he’d paid
for sex acts with minors and
received child pornography.
(Fogle pleaded guilty in Nov.
2015 to one count each of distributing and receiving child
porn and traveling to engage
in illicit sexual conduct with a
child, and was sentenced to
more than 15 years in prison.)

Thought for Today: “Don’t
worry about people stealing
your ideas. If your ideas are
any good, you’ll have to ram
them down people’s throats.”
— Howard H. Aiken, American computer pioneer (19001973).
BEIJING (AP) — The
Chinese government is holding chief editors of news
websites personally liable for
content, months after several
portals posted material that
was seen as embarrassing to
President Xi Jinping.
State media reported
Thursday that the new rules
placed responsibility squarely
on head editors, saying news
sites must monitor their content 24 hours a day to ensure
“correct orientation, factual
accuracy and appropriate
sourcing.” The new rules
were discussed at a meeting
in Beijing this week convened
by the government’s Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) and involving 60
media executives and industry scholars, according to the
official Xinhua News Agency.
The rules reflect the Xi
administration’s efforts to
ratchet up control over Chinese media and cyberspace,
which has touched both traditional state propaganda outlets and private sector media
companies.
Although efforts by Chinese internet censors to
purge sensational rumors,
unwanted political content
and pornography are nothing
new, a series of high-profile
gaffes in recent months have
intensified scrutiny of news
portals, which are seen by the
majority of the 700 million
Chinese internet users.
Tencent, one of China’s
most popular websites, fired
its top editor after a July headline mistakenly said Xi delivered a “furious” — instead of
“important” — speech commemorating a Communist
Party anniversary. The two
words are similar in the Chinese spelling system.

BOSTON (AP) — Police have arrested an 18-yearold Massachusetts man after he was allegedly found
sleeping with a loaded gun tucked under his arm in the
playground area of a Boston elementary school.
Rodney Cooper was arrested Tuesday morning and
charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm on school property and several other
weapons offenses.
Officers were dispatched to Oliver Wendell Holmes
Elementary School just before 6 a.m. following reports
of an unconscious male who appeared to have a gun
next to him.
After arriving on the scene, officers quickly removed
the gun before waking Cooper up. The Dorchester man
was taken into custody following a brief struggle.
Police say Cooper could not produce a license to
carry.
It’s unclear if Cooper has an attorney who could comment.

EEO
SEATTLE (AP) — Paleontologists with
Seattle’s Burke Museum have unearthed
the bones of a Tyrannosaurus rex that lived
more than 66 million years ago, including a
rare nearly complete 4-foot long skull.
The remarkable discovery includes the
dinosaur’s vertebrae, ribs, hips and lower
jaw bones, and represents about 20 percent
of the meat-eating predator.
Several dozen scientists, volunteers, students and others worked over the summer
to excavate the bones in the Hell Creek
Formation in Montana, a site well known
for fossil finds.
The team later encased the massive
skull in a protective plaster cast, lifted the
2,500-pound load onto a flatbed truck with
the help of local Montana ranchers and
drove it to Seattle. The skull was unloaded
at the Burke Museum Thursday.
The plaster-covered skull will be on display to the public for several weeks starting
Saturday. Over the next year, paleontologists will painstakingly work on removing
the rock around the skull.
Scientists estimate the dinosaur is 85
percent the size of the largest T. rex discovered and, based on the size of its skull,
lived about 15 years. They believe this T.
rex roamed the earth in the late Cretaceous
period.
There are only 14 other nearly complete
T. rex skulls that have been found, the museum said.

DALTON, N.H. (AP) — A 72-year-old Massachusetts man has drowned while trying to swim from a raft
to shore in a New Hampshire lake.
The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department
says Edward Schofield, of Auburndale, Massachusetts,
started struggling and went underwater Thursday afternoon in Forest Lake in Dalton.
Officials say a family member tried to help, but was
unable to reach him in time. Other people in the area
also tried to save the man, but were unsuccessful.
Emergency responders recovered Schofield’s body a
short time later. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officials say he and his wife had been staying at a
friend’s house on the lake at the time of the incident.
Wind farm construction finished
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Construction on the
nation’s first offshore wind farm has finished.
Deepwater Wind built a five-turbine wind farm off
Block Island, Rhode Island.
Deepwater Wind CEO Jeffrey Grybowski tweeted
a photo of the five turbines on Thursday. He says the
wind farm is now fully constructed.
The final blade for the fifth turbine was installed
Thursday.
The wind farm is expected to be operational this fall
after testing is complete. The $300 million project is expected to power about 17,000 homes.
Developers, federal regulators and industry experts
say the opening will pave the way for many more wind
farms that eventually will provide power for many more
Americans.
Grybowski says the wind farm’s opening will be a
“momentous occasion.”

Uber to use
autonomous cars
DETROIT (AP) — Ridehailing service Uber says it
will start hauling passengers
with self-driving cars on the
streets of Pittsburgh in next
several weeks.
The company says the autonomous Ford Fusions will
have human backup drivers
but will transport passengers just like normal Uber
vehicles.
Uber has a self-driving research lab in Pittsburgh and
is working on autonomous
technology.
Also Thursday, Uber and
Volvo announced a $300
million deal for Volvo to
provide SUVs to Uber for
autonomous vehicle research. Eventually the Volvo
SUVs will be part of the selfdriving fleet in Pittsburgh.
Naked Trump
statues pop up
NEW YORK (AP) — It’s
Donald Trump like you’ve
never seen him before.
Life-size naked statues of
the Republican presidential
nominee greeted passers-by
in New York, San Francisco,
Los Angeles, Seattle and
Cleveland on Thursday. They
are the brainchild of an activist collective called INDECLINE, which has spoken out
against Trump before.
In a statement, the collective said the hope is that
Trump, the former host of
“The Apprentice” reality TV
series, “is never installed in
the most powerful political
and military position in the
world.”
The statues were created by
an artist in Cleveland. They
are of a stern-faced Trump
with his hands folded over a
bulging belly. Some parts of
male genitalia are visible while
others seemingly are missing.
