ORANGE — The 40th Yankee
Engine-uity Show hosted by the Central Mass Steam, Gas & Machinery
Association (CMSGMA) took place
this Saturday and Sunday at the Orange Airport. Not the heat nor the
sun could keep regulars and newcomers away from getting together
once again to show off their tractors,
engines and cars to the hundreds of
attendees. “There’s been a lot of changes over
the years but we’re still here,” said
Grover Ballou, CMSGMA treasurer.
Ballou said one of the newer exhibits, in recent years, is the CMSGMA
project Cagney miniature train that
they hope to restore. The locomotive and cars that the club already has
were set up for people to see. There
was a special donation bucket for
people to donate solely to that proj- WINNER — Ian Nutter took first place in his division of the kids

Supreme Court strikes
down Texas abortion
clinic regulations
By MARK SHERMAN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON
(AP)
— The Supreme Court has
struck down Texas’ widely replicated regulation
of abortion clinics in the
court’s biggest abortion case
in nearly a quarter century.
The justices voted 5-3
Monday in favor of Texas
clinics that protested the
regulations as a thinly veiled
attempt to make it harder
for women to get an abortion in the nation’s second-
most populous state.
Justice Stephen Breyer’s
majority opinion for the
court held that the regulations are medically unnecessary and unconstitutionally
limit a woman’s right to an
abortion.
Texas had argued that its
2013 law and subsequent
regulations were needed
to protect women’s health.
The rules required doctors
who perform abortions to
have admitting privileges at
nearby hospitals and forced

PROVIDENCE,
R.I.
(AP) — A bumper crop
of caterpillars that’s been
munching through leaves
around southern New England is now being blamed for
heightened risk of wildfire.
Rhode Island environmental officials say high
temperatures
and
dry
weather conditions mean
residents should use extra
caution near forested areas
that have been defoliated
due to the high number of
gypsy moth
caterpillars this

charcoal is cold before being discarded and reminding
smokers to use ashtrays. It
also says dirt bikes and ATVs

The gypsy moth is also
blamed for an outbreak of

Jon Bon Jovi surprises cancerstricken fan with guitar, kiss
TOMS RIVER, N.J. (AP)
— A New Jersey woman
battling lung cancer has received an unforgettable surprise from one of the state’s
most famous rockers, Jon
Bon Jovi.
Rosie Skripkunis says her

Skripkunis later told her
mother that Bon Jovi’s Toms
River restaurant, JBJ Soul
Kitchen, had invited them
over for a free meal.
While at the restaurant on

$8.47M in Workforce
Training Grants awarded
NORTH BROOKFIELD
— The Baker-Polito administration on Friday announced
more than $8.47 million in
Workforce Training Grant
funds were awarded to 101
companies, which will enable
the businesses to train current
or newly hired workers.
Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito announced the grants at Vibram
USA, a global leader in the
design and manufacturing
of high performance shoe
soles, outdoor products, and
FiveFingers athletic shoes.
Among the companies receiving grants are:
• Eye & Lasik Center,
Greenfield — $61,590 to train
10 workers, with two additional jobs expected by 2018.
• Valley Steel Stamp Inc.,
Greenfield — $123,120 to
train 27 workers, with 27 additional jobs expected by 2018.
“We know that a skilled
workforce is key to driving
economic growth in the Commonwealth,” Gov. Charlie
Baker said. “Companies constantly tell us they need more
skilled workers and these
grants enable businesses large
and small to provide those
training opportunities inhouse.”
More than 6,200 individuals
will receive training at their
workplace. The Workforce
Training Fund is an important
tool in assisting Massachusetts
businesses in becoming more
competitive by investing in
the skills of their workers. The
Workforce Training Fund is
also a vital resource to thousands of Massachusetts workers who wish to advance their
skills to achieve promotional
opportunities and higher
wages.
The Workforce Training
Fund provides grants up to
$250,000 to companies of any
size in Massachusetts to pay
for workforce training over
a two-year period. Grants
are awarded to projects that
will upgrade workers’ skills,
increase productivity, and
enhance the competitiveness
of Massachusetts businesses.
Grants are matched dollarfor-dollar by the award recipients.
The Workforce Training
Fund is a program of the Executive Office of Labor and
Workforce Development. The
program is administered by
Commonwealth Corporation,
a quasi-public state agency
that fosters partnerships between industry, education and
workforce organizations to
strengthen skills for youth and
adults in order to help them
thrive in the state’s economy.
The Executive Office of
Labor and Workforce Development and Commonwealth
Corporation hope to encourage businesses to address
workforce training needs
through the Workforce Training Fund. The fund awards
more than $1 million each
month, on a rolling basis
throughout the year. Interested parties are encouraged to

The Cancer of our Homegrown
Terrorism in U.S.
resident Obama said there is no
evidence to suggest that the terrorist attack on a gay nightclub in Orlando is part of a larger terrorist plot.
Omar Mateen, the president said, is “an
example of homegrown extremism.”
That’s not supposed to elicit a sigh of
relief. It simply highlights the evolving and complex nature of the terrorist threat the world faces. Ultimately,
it doesn’t matter whether a mass murderer carries out direct orders from an
organization, or whether he sympathizes with a cause and acts in its name. A
group such as ISIS is more than happy
to take credit for inspiring free agents
to do its bloodletting.
It does, however, point to the difficulties in identifying and stopping these
threats before they are actualized.
For the last two decades, most of the
United States’ anti-terrorism efforts
have been focused on threats from outside the country. The 9/11 hijackers,
for instance, were all foreign nationals,
and the plot was conceived by al-Qaida
leadership ensconced overseas.
But Mateen — and before him, the
husband involved in the 2015 San Bernardino, Calif., attack — were threats
that emerged from within. Syed Rizwan
Farook was an American-born U.S. cit-
izen of Pakistani descent who, according to federal investigators, became
radicalized even before he traveled to
Saudi Arabia and met and married his
wife, Tashfeen Malik, a native of Pakistan who later became an American citizen. They reportedly expressed a commitment to jihadism and martyrdom in
private messages to each other.
Mateen was born in New York to
parents who were immigrants from
Afghanistan. We’re still learning more
about his background, but each new
revelation shows a troubled person.
It’s not as if the potential motivations
behind the Orlando attack are mutually
exclusive; one can be mentally unstable,
homophobic and seduced by jihadist
propaganda all at the same time. But
the different factors make for a harder
puzzle to piece together.
Europe has been struggling with a
similar problem, with several attacks
in recent years carried out by terrorists
born on the continent. They aren’t invaders. They are cancers. If only there
were diagnostic tools as reliable at spotting potential terrorists as there are at
finding tumors.
Obama loses reliable partner,
faces uncertainty after Brexit
By JOSH LEDERMAN and
KATHLEEN HENNESSEY
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) —
For the first 7½ years of his
presidency, Barack Obama
could rely on the United
Kingdom to back him up at
nearly every turn, knowing
British leaders had both the
global clout and shared perspective to be powerful U.S.
partners.
He enters his final months
in office with that sense of
certainty shattered by the
U.K.’s decision to leave the
European Union and the resignation of Prime Minister
David Cameron, one of his
closest collaborators on the
world stage.

Report: It’s harder to know
who’s paying for political ads

Keep your dogs on leashes to
avoid fights and attacks
DEAR ABBY: Please
remind your readers that
it’s important to keep
their dogs on a leash for
their pets’ protection as
well as the protection of
those around them. In my
community, leash laws are
rarely enforced, and it’s
common to see dogs running loose in city parks.
The result is an increase in
dogfights and unwelcome
contact with people. Coyote attacks are also common here in the West, and
small dogs are often the
victims.
If other dog owners
kept their dogs leashed,
I wouldn’t have to worry
about them bounding up to
mine and the ensuing dogfight that follows when my
dogs interpret that behavior as a threat. Remember,
just because you think your
dog is friendly, that doesn’t
mean all the other dogs
are. If people would just
keep their dogs leashed,
it would avert a myriad of
problems for the dogs and
their owners. — MARGE
IN PHOENIX
DEAR MARGE: I’m glad
you wrote. Unless dog owners are in an area where it
is designated their animals
can run loose — such as an
off-leash dog park — their
pets should be leashed for
their own safety as well as
that of others. Off-leash
dog parks (and beaches)
provide a place for pets
to exercise and socialize
while also encouraging
compliance with leash and
“scoop” laws.
Pet owners must remember that coyotes are intelligent and highly adaptable.
While they mostly do their
hunting at night, they have
also been known to “grab
a snack” during the day if
they happen to be hungry
— to the dismay of owners
of small pets. And when I
say “grab,” I’m being literal. It has happened in
an instant in front of the
owner.

DEAR ABBY: I’m moving in a few weeks and
have asked my girlfriend
of two years to move in
with me. She’s considering it, but I suspect she’s
unsure about it because I
am pretty messy at times
— underwear tossed on
the floor, plates piling up
in the kitchen every other
day, etc.
I know if I could get my
act together she would
happily move in, which is
something I really want.
Can you please give me
some tips on becoming
better at cleaning? I would
hate for her to move in
and feel like my maid, or
worse, not move in at all.
— READY TO COHABIT
DEAR READY: Your
problem may be less that
you’re messy than that
you’re a procrastinator.
These are some basics:
Buy a large wicker basket
and keep it in a corner of
your bedroom or closet.
When the underwear and
socks come off, toss them
into the basket instead of
on the floor. When you remove your pants and shirt,
instead of throwing them
over a chair, hang them up.
After you’re finished eating, either put your plate,
silverware, etc., into the
dishwasher, or hand-wash
them immediately and put
them where they belong.
Try it for a week, and you’ll
be amazed at how tidy your
place will be.

It’s getting harder to
know who is funding political advertising at the state
level as more money becomes anonymous or is filtered from one political action committee to another,
a new study finds.
In 2014, the last year in
which statewide elections
were widespread across
the country, only 29 cents
of every $1 of independent
political spending could be
tracked easily to its original
individual donor, according to the Brennan Center
for Justice at the New York
University School of Law.
The center found that dark
money and what it calls
“gray” money are rising
even faster in state elections
than in federal races.
In places where the costs
of elections can be cheaper
because word is distributed
by direct mail rather than
television ads, the spending
can have a larger impact.
“Dark money can outspend all,” said Larry Norden, deputy director of the
Brennan Center’s program
on democracy.
Dark money comes from
nonprofit advocacy groups
that spend on political purposes but are not subject to
campaign finance disclosures. Its rise is one of the
effects of the U.S. Supreme
Court’s 2010 Citizens United ruling, which removed
caps on how much corporations, unions and interest groups can spend on
advocacy communications
that do not specifically call
for the election or defeat of
candidates.
That category of spending grew from less than
$600,000 in 2006 to nearly
$22 million in 2014 in the
states the study evaluated.
Despite that rise, the
majority of state political
spending overall remains
from traditional channels
where most large contributions must be disclosed:
candidates’ official committees and party organizations.
One election with heavy
dark money spending was
the 2014 Arizona race for
two seats on the Public Utilities Commission, which
was in the throes of a debate
over solar power policy.
More than $3 million in
dark money poured into
that race through social
welfare nonprofit groups
that in turn donated to
PACs that made independent expenditures. That was
up from just $3,000 in total
outside spending in a similar race in 2008 — and all
the money at that time was
linked to specific donors.
Some of the 2014 money
came from the Arizona
Public Service Company,
the state’s biggest utility,
but the company has not
disclosed how much. There
has been litigation since
then over whether the public has a right to know how
much the company funded.
A utility spokeswoman did
not return a call.
That election is a prime
reason Arizona fast became
a hub of dark money. In
2006, there was just $35,000
involved in state races. In
2014, it was over $10 million.
The Brennan study was
limited to California, the
most populous state, along
with Arizona and four others: Alaska, Colorado,
Maine and Massachusetts.
They were among only nine
that had statewide elections
in the study years of 2006,
2010 and 2014 and collected
enough data on political
spending by outside groups
to do the analysis. The authors said they did not have
enough time to delve into
all nine states, so they chose
the first six alphabetically.
James Bopp Jr., a conservative Indiana lawyer
who has pushed for political
contributions to be equated
with speech, says the Brennan analysis is misleading.
Many states require advocacy groups to report individual donors who specify
that their contributions be
used for political purposes.
Donors who make general
gifts, he said, don’t determine whether it will be used
in political ads.
“It would be unfair to attribute that spending to any
of your donors,” Bopp said.
The Brennan authors said
they were surprised not by
the growth of dark money
but rather by what they
called gray money.
side the EU.
Yet before the vote,
Obama had warned in no
uncertain terms of the consequences for Britain leaving
the EU. He put the U.K. on
notice it would become a low
priority on trade while pushing back on the isolationist
and anti-immigrant sentiments that have taken root in
the U.S. and elsewhere and
now seem to be tearing at
Europe’s seams.
His vice president, Joe
Biden, was blunter, conceding that Britain’s exit,
or Brexit, was “not how we
would have preferred it to
be.”
The incongruence between
Obama’s comments before
and after the vote reflected
the difficult spot Obama
finds himself in. With U.S.
and global markets reeling,
Obama wants to avoid the
perception that U.K. relations will suffer. At the same
time, downplaying the significance of the exit could
undermine his calls for Europe remaining integrated
under the EU banner, just as
other European nations start
demanding their own votes
about whether to leave.
White House officials said
they expect no immediate
changes to the myriad areas
where the two countries are
working together, including
the British military’s involvement in the U.S.-led coalition fighting the Islamic State
group. After all, Britain’s
withdrawal from the EU
could take years.
Still, there’s far less assurance that Britain and other
European countries will reflexively take the U.S. side as
new and evolving challenges
inevitably pop up.
“We instinctively turn
to Europe for everything,
and we’re going to turn and
they’re just not going to be in
a place to promote U.S. interests,” said Heather Conley, a
Europe analyst at the Center
for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.
“The concern is that this is
going to be so all-consuming
that they’re not going to be
able to take very difficult
steps that are not popular.”
Defining the new, postEU relationship between the
U.K. and the U.S. will largely
fall to the countries’ next
leaders. Cameron’s resignation may not come until October, three months before
the end of Obama’s term.
Though British voters
haven’t picked a replacement, an early favorite is
former London Mayor Boris Johnson, a forceful voice
for leaving the EU who once
suggested that Obama had
an “ancestral dislike of the
British Empire” due to his
Kenyan roots. American voters in November will likely be
choosing between Democrat
Hillary Clinton, who largely
embraces Obama’s worldview, and Republican Donald Trump, who cheered Britain’s decision and predicted
other European countries
would follow suite.
In the meantime, Britain’s
departure could alter the dynamics on nearly every issue
where the U.S. promotes its
interests overseas.
Though the U.K. will remain in NATO, the disarray
in the EU raises the possibility of less unity on issues like
Russia. With Britain’s support, Obama has been pushing to maintain sanctions
on Moscow over its actions
in Ukraine, but consensus
has been hard to maintain
as countries like Germany
and Italy, which trade heavily with Russia, lobby to lift
them.
Britain’s record as a reliable partner isn’t unblemished. Obama has said Cameron’s failure to persuade
Parliament to approve airstrikes against Syria’s government was a wake-up call
that heavily influenced his
decision to call off his own
planned strikes in 2013. The
White House was also frustrated that after leading the
call for a NATO intervention
in Libya in 2011, the U.K.
seemed to lose focus as Libya
descended into chaos.
Obama has maintained
that the Transatlantic Trade
and Investment Partnership,
a free trade deal being negotiated with the EU, should be
wrapped up by the end of the
year, though that was doubtful even before the vote. Now
the negotiations appear moribund.
Trade experts said the EU
would be too consumed with
figuring out its new economic
situation to pursue a sweeping new treaty. U.S. Trade
Representative Michael Froman argued Friday the deal is
still worthwhile, but he pointedly acknowledged the U.S.
was “evaluating the impact
of the United Kingdom’s decision” on the talks. Obama
had warned before the vote
that if Britain pulled out,
it would go to the “back of
the queue” for a one-on-one
trade deal with the U.S.

got big plans in the next few
years to get the train going,”
said Ballou.
The club put on their first
show in June of 1976 in New
Salem but it was moved the
next year to the airport and
has been there ever since.
With hundreds of people
attending, the front portion
of the airport seemed rather
small with the many exhibits
of the show and the attached
flea market off to the side. As in most years there was
a featured engine and tractor. This year the highlighted tractor was the Massey
Harris while the Sandwich
Engine was the engine of
choice. A Sattley engine was
also raffled off. Letting the younger generation get involved, the kids
tractor pull was also held
again. Small pedal tractors
were hooked up to a weight
rated for the age of the child
participating. The kids pedaled as hard as they could to
see just how far they could
pedal their weight. Kids and
toddlers all put on a good
show and enjoyed the chance
to get involved. Among the many exhibits,
spectators could see over a
century of pieces from tractors to engines, cars and even

One standout was a trailer
featuring equipment from
the Pacific Pumper Company owned by Jim Critser
of Rindge, N.H. The company had contracts with both
the Navy in World War II
and the National Forest service. Critser said, “These
pumps were used on board
to fight fires and were known
as ‘handy billys’.” The National Forest service used the
pumps to fight forest fires.
The company operated from
the 1930s to ‘60s, Critser said. While the show is put on by
CMSGMA members, it attracts visitors from near and
far to show off their toys and
enjoy each others’ company. Joe Lenahan, of Oxford,

bands for assisting whenever

to representatives from the
Worcester County Sheriff’s
Office in attendance for
all that office does for the
COA. “They come up and
cook for us every year in
the summer, and provide a
wealth of information to seniors,” said Savoy.
Other organizations represented were Quabbin
Valley Health Care, Life
Path (formerly the Franklin
County Home Care Corporation), and the Friends of
the Athol Council on Aging. Among the local and
state officials in attendance
were Town Manager Shaun
Suhoski; selectmen Lee
Chauvette, Anthony Brighenti, Stephen Raymond and
Alan Dodge; North Quabbin Chamber of Commerce
Executive Director Mark
Wright; State Rep. Susannah Whipps Lee (R-Athol);
and State Sen. Anne Gobi
(D-Spencer).
“Everyone deserves a
round of applause,” said Savoy.
“To all the volunteers, I
say ‘thank you, thank you,
thank you,” said Gobi. “If
it’s not the volunteers doing the work, it doesn’t get
done.”
“It’s a better community
because of each and every
one of you,” said Whipps
Lee.
In making his remarks,
Chauvette said, “We could
not do what we do in the
community without each
and every one of you.”
Chauvette added that
volunteers will be needed
as well when the new Athol
Community
Elementary
School opens in the fall.
Also a member of the school
committee, he noted a bus
trip will be coordinated before that opening to bring
seniors to the school for a
tour of the facility.
Wright also invited attendees to consider volunteering
time with the Chamber of
Commerce and noted that,
in his opinion, the volunteerism he has seen in other
communities does not compare to that which he has
witnessed in Athol and the
North Quabbin area. “I’m
a big fan of volunteerism...
It’s really the lifeblood that
separates the communities
of the North Quabbin from
many other communities,”
he said.
“Community is about people...This group of people in
this room — the volunteers
— make Athol a source of
pride,” said Suhoski.
“The important thing is to
thank the volunteers,” said
Carol Dubour, president
of the non-profit Friends
group. She added that, to
date, the Friends, through
their volunteer efforts, have
raised over $300,000 to assist the COA with the outfitting of the senior center and
with providing services and
programs.
Wrapping up the event
was Wellness Coach Pat
Roix, who led volunteers
in a brief wellness exercise
and offered tips on staying
healthy, mobile and optimistic. “My hope is that every one of you will be able
to continue the wonderful
work that you do,” she said.
“To that, you have to take
care of your bodies.”

to continue the uncertainty.
Questions remain about
exactly how the exit would
happen. German Chancellor
Angela Merkel said she understands Britain may need
“a certain amount of time
to analyze things” before invoking Article 50 of the EU
treaty, which will trigger the
process for leaving. Prime
Minister David Cameron
has said he will resign and
his successor, to be chosen
by the fall, should be the one
to navigate that process.
Merkel wouldn’t comment
on whether it’s acceptable
for London to wait until October, but said that a “longterm suspension” of the
question wouldn’t be in either side’s economic interest.
In the first direct reflection
of the uncertainty hitting
business confidence, a leading business group said 20
percent of its members plan
to move some of their operations outside of the U.K. The
Institute of Directors said
Monday that a survey of its
1,000 members showed that
three out of four believe that
Britain’s exit from the EU,
known as Brexit, will be bad
for business.
The pound hit a new
31-year record low, dropping another 3.5 percent to
$1.3199. Stock markets also
declined across Europe.
UK Treasury chief appeals for calm
LONDON (AP) — Britain’s Treasury chief sought
Monday to ease concerns
about the vote to leave the
European Union, saying the
economy is as strong as it
could be to face the uncertainty — even as a survey
showed many companies are
looking to move business out
of the country.
In his first public appearance since Thursday’s referendum, George Osborne
stressed that Britain’s economy is in a far better position
than it was at the start of the
2008 financial crisis.
“It will not be plain sailing
in the days ahead,” he said.
“But let me be clear. You
should not underestimate
our resolve. We were prepared for the unexpected.”
The leaders of Germany,
Italy and France will be huddling in Berlin to discuss the
vote, trying to hone a common message that negotiations need to get underway
quickly on the exit so as not

Breyer wrote that “the

benefits for women, poses a
substantial obstacle to women seeking abortions and

right to do so.”

Flood-ravaged WVa bracing for rain
By JOHN RABY and
DAVE MORRISON
Associated Press
ANSTED, W.Va. (AP)
— National Guard teams
removed debris Monday as
authorities in West Virginia
prepared for another round
of storms in the rain-soaked
state where floodwaters have
killed at least 25 people in
the past week.
West Virginia Emergency Management Agency
spokesman Tim Rock said
“everybody’s just keeping
an eye on the sky” as search
and rescue teams continue
to check whether everyone is
accounted for.
More heavy rains are forecast later in the day. More
than 20 counties, most in
the southern part of the
state, are under a flash flood
watch. The National Weather Service warned downpours were possible in many
areas already ravaged by
flooding, including Kanawha
and Nicholas counties. The
forecast also included hardest-hit Greenbrier county,
where 17 people have died
and floodwaters have yet to
recede.
Teams from the Federal
Emergency
Management
Agency are taking stock of
the damage and National
Guard crews are removing
debris, he said.
Rock said recovery teams
plan to work as much as possible but may pull back if
storms intensify.
As the next round of
storms arrive, many residents are still trying to come
to grips with ruined property
and where they’ll live next.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin
chief of staff Chris Stadelman says authorities still believe there are people missing in Greenbrier County.
On Sunday, dozens of
residents from floodedout Rainelle remained at a
shelter more than 25 miles
away at the Ansted Baptist
Church, where singing from
inside mixed with the bustle
of activity outside.
The church’s gymnasium
has been converted to a
shelter. The church also is a
drop-off point for donated
goods as well as a makeshift
kennel for dog owners.
For now, it’s home for
Jerry Reynolds, his wife, Janice, and his brother, Marcus
Reynolds.
Janice Reynolds said she
drove back to Rainelle on
Saturday to survey the damage. She said her home was
destroyed, a vehicle was lost
in the floodwaters and the
community “smelled like
death.”
Jerry Reynolds says the
flood was “the worst thing
I’ve ever seen.” But as he sat
in his car at the shelter, he
declared that “we’re survivors. We’ll make it.”
Marcus Reynolds even
found a bit of humor amid
the sorrow.
“While we’re at it, would
you be interested in any
oceanfront property?” he
said. “I understand there’s
some available.”

National feasts on
CSLL in 15-1 rout
By JOSH TALBOT
ADN Sports Editor
LEOMINSTER — Leominster National was announced as
the defending two-time District 3
champions prior to Sunday’s Major Baseball pool play opener with
Chuck Stone Little League. After
a 15-1 dismantling of the local
boys, National looks like the early
favorite again this summer.
After a scoreless first inning,
National took advantage of some
sloppy Chuck Stone defense en
route to a nine-run second. The
Athol boys committed five errors
in the frame and were also undone
by a pair of fielder’s choice that
saw defenders unsure of where to
throw the ball. National had just
three hits in the frame.
Jake Richard singled to start
the second before CSLL pitcher
Jaden Softic induced a comebacker off the bat of AJ Colarusso and
turned to fire to second. A breakdown in communication between
the middle infielders ultimately
resulted in Softic’s throw being
off the mark. After a popout,
Softic induced a grounder to the
left side which resulted in uncertainty and all runners being safe.
Another grounder followed, but
was mishandled and gave National a 1-0 lead. Softic hit a bout of
wildness from there as he issued
a bases-loaded walk to Aaron
Forgues made it 2-0. A wild pitch
and passed ball followed during
Nick Garcia’s at-bat as the deficit
reached 4-0. After Garcia walked,
Evan McCarthy bounced a single
into center field, scoring Forgues
for a 5-0 lead. A walk to Brendan
Arsenault loaded the bases and a
grounder by Richard was mishandled and allowed a pair of runs to
score to give National a 7-0 lead.
Softic rebounded to strikeout Colarusso for the second out, but
Chris Pompei smacked a two-run
double to cap the nine-run inning.
McCarthy was dominant on the
hill for National as he struck out
all seven batters he faced before
leaving after 35 pitches. Garcia
entered in relief and sandwiched
a pair of strikeouts around a Beau
Manning single.
National got into the Chuck
Stone bullpen in the bottom of the
third and Arsenault, Richard and
Pompei all smacked home runs
in the inning. Forgues added an
RBI single in the frame as the lead
reached 15-0.
With one-out in the top of the
fourth, Chuck Stone’s Dilan Fountain popped a solo home run to
make it 15-1. It was too little, too
late for an Athol team that struck
out 12 times in four innings. Manning’s single and Fountain’s home
run were the only two balls Athol
put in play.
Chuck Stone hosts Winchendon
on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. Winchendon was shutout by Quabbin 7-0
on Sunday.
Former Bruins star Ray Bourque ‘in
unfamiliar territory’ following arrest
ANDOVER, Mass. (AP) —
Former Boston Bruins star Ray
Bourque, who’s facing a drunken driving charge, says he accepts the responsibility for his
actions.
Bourque was charged Friday
night with operating under the
influence of alcohol and following too closely. He posted bail
and was released.
“For the first time in my life,
I find myself in unfamiliar territory,” Bourque said in a statement released Sunday. “I am not
happy about the situation I put
myself into.”
Andover Police Chief Patrick Keefe said the 55-year-old
Bourque was arrested about
11:30 p.m. after his Mercedes-
Benz rear-ended a minivan in a
construction zone in the city. No
injuries were reported.
“I am a very proud person
that accepts the responsibility of
my actions and have always accepted being in the media eye,”
Bourque said. “I have used this
popularity to try and positively
impact as many lives as possible.
I am happy that no one was hurt
in the accident and thank everyone who has reached out in support of my family and me.”
Bourque is to be arraigned in
Lawrence District Court. Police
haven’t provided a date.
According to The Boston
Globe, Bourque currently owns

Durant, Anthony lead US Olympic team
NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S.
has selected its 12-player roster,
led by Kevin Durant and Carmelo
Anthony, that will try to win the
Americans’ third straight Olympic
basketball gold medal.
Durant and Anthony are the
only players with Olympic experience after a number of stars, including LeBron James, decided to
skip Rio.
Also chosen Monday for the
team were: Golden State’s Klay
Thompson, Draymond Green
and Harrison Barnes; Toronto’s
Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan; Cleveland’s Kyrie Irving; Indiana’s Paul George; Chicago’s
Jimmy Butler; Sacramento’s DeMarcus Cousins and the Clippers’
DeAndre Jordan.
Irving was the MVP of the 2014
Basketball World Cup on a U.S.
team that included Thompson,
Cousins and DeRozan and easily
won gold.
The Americans should roll into
Rio as the favorites. Yet they won’t
look as imposing as expected after the withdrawals of NBA MVP
Stephen Curry and All-Stars such
as Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul
and James Harden.
So the Americans will look to
Anthony, who becomes the first
U.S. men’s basketball player to
appear in four Olympics, and Durant, who set a U.S. record by averaging 19.5 points in London.
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski
will coach the Americans for the
third and final time, tying Henry
Iba’s team record, and be assisted
by Syracuse’s Jim Boeheim, Minnesota Timberwolves coach Tom
Thibodeau and former Oklahoma
City assistant Monty Williams.

still a learning process, but it’s getting better.”
Prince Fielder hit a two-run
homer for the Rangers, who are
11-0-1 in series since getting swept
at Oakland in mid-May. Texas improved to 8-1 in deciding games
this season.
Perez (7-4) was working on a
shutout before Bryce Brentz hit a
solo drive with two out in the sixth
for his first major league homer.
Perez matched the longest winning streak of his career, from
2013, despite throwing more balls
than strikes into the fifth inning.
“Sometimes with the first pitch,
trying to throw a strike and sometimes to push the ball there,” said
Perez, who improved to 6-1 in Arlington. “And I can’t do that anymore. Sometimes you’re trying to
push the ball and you miss. You
miss close, but you miss.”
Shin-Soo Choo, Ian Desmond,
Nomar Mazara and Adrian Beltre
opened Texas’ three-run first with
four straight singles. The last two

with Rougned Odor’s blooper to

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) —
Clay Buchholz allowed the first six
Texas batters to reach in his second start since a brief demotion to
the bullpen, and walked a seasonhigh five.
The right-hander and Boston
manager John Farrell still saw
some positives in a 6-2 loss to the
Rangers on Sunday.
The Rangers scored three runs
after four straight singles to start
the game, and Prince Fielder
homered not long before BuchRed Sox Page 7
holz’s exit in the sixth. In between,
the two-time All-Star didn’t allow
a runner to reach second base and
faced the minimum in a four-inning stretch.
“In the first inning, it wasn’t really a whole lot of balls that were
hit hard, they were just hit where
we weren’t,” Buchholz said. “That
was basically the difference.”
Texas left-hander Martin Perez
won his sixth straight decision
with six solid innings and helped
the Rangers to yet another series
victory despite a bout with control
issues that had his manager questioning his body language on the
mound.
“The thing that I like is that he

then they don’t say a damned word.
(So) I and listened to people say

I’ve felt like if we got things right,
that it was still there.”
Anyone who has followed his
career knows that Stewart is best
when he’s in a bad mood, and
Smoke was ornery all weekend in
the picturesque wine country.
He complained about young
drivers, snarked that NASCAR will
be without any tough guys once he
retires and grumbled he has no fun
driving a Cup car anymore.
Well, he sure had fun on Sunday.
The 45-year-old took the lead on
fuel strategy during a caution with
24 laps to go, and had to hold on
after another yellow flag stalled
the race. The final restart came
SONOMA, Calif. (AP) — For
at least one weekend, Smoke was
back.
Tony Stewart returned to victory
lane for the first time in three years
in vintage fashion — refusing to let
Denny Hamlin steal a win at Sonoma Raceway away from him on
the final lap Sunday.
Now he’s probably got a shot to
run for a fourth NASCAR championship in his final season before
retirement.
NASCAR Page 7
Stewart, mired in an 84-race losing streak dating to 2013, finally
won to stop a slide of poor performances, injuries and personal
turmoil that has tarnished the end
of his career. He missed the first
eight races of this season, his last
as a NASCAR driver, with a back
injury suffered in an off-road vehicle accident one week before the
season opened.
It meant Stewart would have to
win a race and crack the top 30
in points to have one last shot at
glory before he stepped out of the
No. 14 Chevrolet for good. It was
a long shot considered the way he
has run the last three years, but
those who know Stewart knew not
to count him out.

Chile wins Copa; Messi says he’s quitting
By RONALD BLUM
AP Sports Writer
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
(AP) — Lionel Messi put his penalty kick over the crossbar, grabbed
his shirt, clenched his teeth and
covered his face with both hands.
A few minutes later he walked
off the field, a dazed, pained look
on his bearded face. The greatest
player of his generation, perhaps
soccer’s best ever, he was still without a title on Argentina’s national
team — one he says may never
come.
“The national team is over for
me,” he told the Argentine network TyC Sports after Chile beat
the Albiceleste on Sunday night for
the Copa America title. “It’s been
four finals. It’s not meant for me. I
tried. It was the thing I wanted the
most, but I couldn’t get it, so I think
it’s over.”
Chile beat Argentina in the final
for the second straight year, 4-2 in
the shootout following a 0-0 tie that
ended an expanded 16-nation Copa
in the United States to mark the
championship’s 100th anniversary.
Messi, five-time FIFA Player of
the Year, winner of four Champions League titles and eight Spanish La Liga crowns with Barcelona,
was crushed. Much of his nation
had counted on him and the topranked Albiceleste to bring home
the nation’s first major championship since 1993.
Playing two days after his 29th
birthday, Messi lost a final for the
third year in a row and the fourth
time overall with Argentina. There
was also the 2007 Copa final against
Brazil, when he was still a wunderkind, and then an extra-time loss to
Germany in the 2014 World Cup.
Considered alongside Brazil’s
Pele and Argentina’s Diego Maradona as the sport’s greatest, Messi
won the titles at the under-20 and
Olympic (under-23) levels for Argentina. But in the minds of many
he needs a championship with the
senior national team to solidify his
place in history.
“Messi’s numbers are unparalleled and I think they’ll remain
that way forever, because it’s impossible for a football player to do
what Messi has done,” said Chile
coach Juan Antonio Pizzi, who is
from Argentina. “My generation
can’t compare him to Maradona
— that’s for my generation, because of what Maradona did for
Argentine soccer. But I think the

Injured Lochte loses at US Olympic swim trials
By PAUL NEWBERRY
AP National Writer
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Ryan
Lochte powered out to a big lead
in the event he won four years ago
at the London Olympics, his powerful arms churning through the
water, looking very much like a
lock for another trip to the games.
Actually, he was trying to hide
the pain.
By the end, it was apparent to
everyone.
In a stunner on the very first
night of the U.S. swimming trials, an ailing Lochte was denied a
chance to defend his Olympic title
in the 400-meter individual medley, finishing third Sunday behind
a pair of college teammates who
raced right by him on the closing
laps.
“I went out there and did my
best,” Lochte said. “It wasn’t
enough.”
Lochte appeared to be swimming in molasses on the breaststroke and freestyle legs, allowing
Chase Kalisz and Jay Litherland
to claim the two spots on the U.S.
team for Rio.
Actually, the 11-time Olympic
medalist was hindered by a groin
injury sustained in the morning
preliminaries.
“I thought about ... scratching,”
Lochte said. “But, I mean, it’s
the Olympic trials. If I had a broken leg, I’d still go out there and
swim.”
Lochte is entered in five more
events in Omaha, giving the
31-year-old plenty of chances to
make his fourth Olympic team.
But the groin injury raises doubts
about how effective he’ll be in any
of those races.
“I’m going to keep working on it
day in and day out, and hopefully
it gets better,” said Lochte, who
might get a cortisone shot to help
deal with the pain.
He tried to compensate for his
injury by going out faster than usual on the butterfly and backstroke
legs, giving him a two body-length
lead at the midway point.
That wasn’t nearly enough.
With his legs of little use on the
breaststroke, Lochte ceded the
lead to Kalisz. Then it was Lith-

with 14 laps remaining —
the same number as Stewart’s car — and he held off
a trio of Toyota drivers for
his third career victory at Sonoma.
Hamlin made it interesting by pouncing on a Stewart mistake to snatch the
lead away from Stewart in
the seventh turn of the final
lap. Stewart grabbed it back
in tricky Turn 11, where he
dove to the inside of Hamlin
and as the two raced side-byside, Stewart pushed Hamlin
toward the wall.
Stewart got past Hamlin
and charged to the checkered flag with the entire side
of his car crumpled and his
tires slightly smoking from
the contact with Hamlin.
“I made mistakes the last
two laps, I had just a little
bit too much rear brake for
Turn 7, and wheel-hopped it
two laps in a row,” Stewart
said. “I felt a nudge when I
got down there and he knew
where it was and he did the
right thing doing it there, but
if I could get to him, he knew
what was coming.”
It was Stewart’s 49th career Cup win and eighth on
a road course, one shy of
Jeff Gordon’s record. Gordon, who retired at the end
of last year, made his way to
victory lane from the broadcast booth to congratulate
his longtime rival.
Dozens of drivers then
pumped their fists out their
window to salute Stewart
on his victory lap while his
father, Nelson, wiped away
tears. Crew members lined
the wall to slap his hand, and
teammates Kevin Harvick
and Kurt Busch were among
the drivers to rush to speak
to Stewart while he was still
inside his car.
So did Hamlin, a former
teammate of Stewart’s who
has become somewhat of
a protector to his one-time
mentor. As leader of the
Driver Council, Hamlin got
from Page 6
the council to split the cost
of a $35,000 fine Stewart received this year for criticizing NASCAR.
“He told me he was proud
of me, he knows what it
means,” an exhausted and
emotional Stewart said in
victory lane. After chugging
a Coca-Cola, he slumped to
the ground and sat alongside
his car.
“We were teammates for
a long time and we respect
each other a lot.”
Hamlin,
meanwhile,
didn’t indicate he gave the
win to Stewart but chalked
it up to his own mistake to
allow Stewart to snatch the
lead away from him.
“Looking in the rearview more than looking out
front,” Hamlin said. “I just
slid up a little bit in the middle and allowed him to get
inside me. I knew he was going to put me in the wall. All
is fair in love and war.”
Hamlin finished second in
a Toyota and was followed
by Joey Logano in a Ford,
pole-sitter Carl Edwards
and Martin Truex Jr. as Toyota drivers took three of the
top-five spots.
Harvick was sixth, Kyle
Busch seventh, while Ryan
Newman, Kasey Kahne and
Kurt Busch rounded out the
top 10.
Other Notes of Interest
from Sunday’s race:
ALL HAIL SMOKE: The reception for Stewart by his
peers was similar to the reaction the late Dale Earnhardt
received when Earnhardt finally won the Daytona 500.
As drivers decompressed
after their own day, many offered words about Stewart’s
win.
“To have three cars in the
Chase, to have Tony’s confidence up, to have him battle
Denny Hamlin like that this
is the best way for a champion like him to go out,” teammate Kurt Busch said. “He
deserves this now.”
Red Sox from Page 6
Choo had three hits and
scored twice, the second
time on another RBI single
from Beltre.
Buchholz (3-8) walked
two in the first inning and
allowed seven hits and five
runs — four earned — in
5 1/3 innings, falling to 1-6
against Texas.
“There was a stretch
where we’ve seen in a number of his starts where he
was very good, but there’s
an inning inside of it that’s
the one you can point to,”
Farrell said.
The Rangers, who have
the best record in the American League at 49-27, won
a three-game series for the
seventh time after dropping
the opener.
ONE MORE TIME
David Ortiz pinch-hit with
two runners on in the eighth
inning of the retiring slugger’s final regular-season
game in Texas. It prompted
a move to lefty reliever Jake
Diekman and a standing
ovation from the crowd, including plenty of Rangers
fans.
Ortiz pulled a run-scoring
single through the shift in
right before Travis Shaw
flied out. Former closer
Shawn Tolleson pitched a
scoreless ninth for a Texas
bullpen that surrendered
four runs with two outs in
the ninth of an 8-7 loss in
the opener.

Red Sox: Utility player
Brock Holt is getting close
to a return after missing 34
games with a concussion,
but the plan is for a cautious
approach when he does get
back. “To say that once he
comes back, he’s good to
go five to six times a week,
I think that might be a little
aggressive right now,” Farrell said before the game.

BET Awards full of Prince tributes, political moments
By MESFIN FEKADU
AP Music Writer
The BET Awards — or
“The Prince Tribute Show”
— featured emotional and
energetic
performances
from Sheila E., Stevie Wonder and Jennifer Hudson
honoring the Purple One,
along with political statements on issues ranging
from racial injustice to the
U.S. presidential election.
Sheila E., jamming on the
drums and guitar, singing
and dancing without shoes,
closed the three-hour-plus
show at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles with
“Let’s Work,” ‘‘A Love Bizarre,” ‘‘The Glamorous
Life,” ‘‘America” and more.
She was joined by “Purple
Rain” actor Jerome Benton
and Prince’s ex-wife, Mayte
Garcia, who danced alongside the background dancers throughout the set. They
ended by raising a purple
guitar in the air as the audience cheered them on.
Hudson, rocking a whitehooded blazer, and Wonder,
clad in a purple suit, sang
“Purple Rain” — a month
after the piano-playing icon
performed the song with
Madonna at the Billboard
Music Awards, which BET
dissed on Twitter. This time,
Hudson was a vocal powerhouse, delivering screeching
vocals while Wonder played
piano and Tori Kelly was on
guitar while a photo montage of Prince appeared on
the purple-lit stage.
Janelle Monae was animated and funky as she
danced skillfully and ran
through Prince tunes, including “Kiss,” ‘‘Delirious”
and “I Would Die 4 U.”
Bilal was sensual and passionate during “The Beautiful Ones,” even lying on
the floor while singing near
the end of the performance.
The Roots backed Bilal, and
the band was also behind
Erykah Badu as she performed “The Ballad of Dorothy Parker,” singing softly
as she grooved in place.
After singing an original
song, Maxwell went into
“Nothing Compares 2 U,”
changing some of the lyrics
while honoring Prince.
Though the BET Awards
were heavy on honoring the
icon who died on April 21,
the show went from Prince
to political throughout the
night.
“Grey’s Anatomy” actor
Jesse Williams, who earned
the humanitarian award
for his efforts as an activist, gave a fiery, nearly sixminute speech that brought
the audience to its feet and
earned a rousing applause.
“We’re done watching
and waiting while this invention called whiteness uses
and abuses us, burying black
people out of sight and out
of mind while extracting our
culture, our dollars, our entertainment like oil, black
gold, ghettoizing and demeaning our creations then
stealing them; gentrifying
our genius and trying us on
like costumes before discarding our bodies,” he said
onstage.
Williams was introduced
by BET CEO Debra Lee,
who spoke about gun violence and brought up the
recent Orlando shooting at
the Pulse nightclub.
“We all need to take
stance against gun violence.
You can make a difference,”

to Prince at the BET Awards at the Microsoft Theater on Sunday, June 26, 2016, in Los Angeles. Photo by Matt Sayles/Invision/AP
Lee said onstage. “Use your
voice and vote.”
When “Empire” star
Taraji P. Henson won best
actress, she encouraged the
audience to vote against
presumptive
Republican
presidential nominee Donald Trump.
“I’m really not political
but it’s serious out here, and
for those who thing that,
you know, ‘Oh he’s not going to win’ — think again.
So we really need to pull together and turn this country
around,” she said.
Co-host Tracee Ellis Ross
said she was supporting Hillary Clinton and reminded
viewers several times to “get
yourself registered!” Clinton has a past with BET: She
appeared at BET’s “Black
Girls Rock!” event in April
and told the audience “my
life has been changed by
strong black women leaders.”
The BET Awards wasn’t
all serious, though. Beyonce
kicked off the show with a
surprise performance featuring Kendrick Lamar and
multiple background dancers of her song “Freedom,”
dancing in a pool of water
to the song’s heavy beat. At
one point, Lamar and Beyoncé kicked the water and
danced in sync, drawing a
heavy applause from the au-
dience.
Beyonce won video of the
year and the fan-voted viewers’ choice award for her hit,
“Formation.” Her mother,
Tina, accepted the awards
and said Beyonce had to
quickly leave the show after
her performance for a concert in London.
“I want to thank, first of
all, her husband and her
daughter,” Tina said onstage.
Alicia Keys slowed things
down with a performance
of “In Common”; Fat Joe,
Remy Ma and French Montana were energetic during “All the Way Up”; and
Desiigner was excited as he
rapped “Panda” onstage and
in the middle of the aisles,
as most of the audience nodded and sang along.
Beyoncé’s mentees, the
duo Chloe x Halle, earned
a standing ovation after
they sang impressively and
played instruments.
Rising newcomer Bryson
Tiller also performed. In
a surprise win, the singer
won best male R&
B/pop artist, besting Chris
Brown, The Weeknd, Tyrese
and Jeremih. Tiller also won
best new artist.
“Thank God, thank my
mommy, thank my granny.
This is my first award ever,”
Tiller said, who was also
nominated for video of the
year.
Drake, who didn’t attend
the show though he was the
top contender with nine
nominations, won best male
hip hop artist and best group
with rapper-singer-producer
Future.
Samuel L. Jackson received the lifetime achievement award and was introduced by Spike Lee. Jackson
ended his speech by offering
praise to Williams, calling
him “the closest thing I’ve
heard to a 1960s activist.”
“That brother is right and
he’s true, and when you
hear what he said, make
sure you vote and you take
eight more people with you
to vote, OK?” Jackson said.
“Don’t get tricked like they
got tricked in London!”
Prince wasn’t the only
icon honored Sunday —
Muhammad Ali was remembered by his daughter
and Jamie Foxx.
“To me and my eight sisters and brothers, he was
just dad,” Laila Ali said onstage. “My father also once
said, ‘If people loved each
other as much as they loved
me, it would be a better
world.’”
Foxx said Ali “stood up
at a time when no one was
standing up. So it’s definitely more than boxing, more
than entertainment.”
Ali died June 3 after a
long battle with Parkinson’s
disease.

70th anniversary of B-17
crash on Mt. Tom on July 9
HOLYOKE — The 70th
anniversary of the B-17
crash on Mt. Tom is scheduled for Saturday, July
9. Transportation up to the
memorial site will start at
8:30 a.m., with the program
to begin at 10. On July 9, 1946, a converted B-17 “Flying Fortress”
bomber carrying 25 servicemen left Goose Bay, Labrador, with a destination of
Long Island, N.Y., with an
intermediate stop at Westover Field in Chicopee. At approximately 10:20
p.m., the plane was circling
the area of Westover, where
four soldiers were scheduled to end their journey.
The aircraft approached the
mountain from the south,
and then without warning,
the plane swerved into a
rock outcropping, killing all
25 young men on board.
On July 9, 1996, a memorial was dedicated at
the crash site to honor the
young men lost in the crash.
The gate at the Mt. Tom
Reservation will be opened
for the event and the Civil
Air Patrol will be there to
direct folks to the parking
area and transportation up
the mountain. For additional information, contact Bob

N.H. library is at the privacy forefront
LEBANON, N.H. (AP)
— A small library in New
Hampshire sits at the forefront of global efforts to
promote privacy and fight
government surveillance —
to the consternation of law
enforcement.
The Kilton Public Library
in Lebanon, a city of 13,000,
last year became the nation’s first library to use Tor,
software that masks the location and identity of internet users, in a pilot project
initiated by the Cambridge,
Massachusetts-based
Library Freedom Project.
Users the world over can
— and do — have their
searches randomly routed
through the library.
Computers that have Tor
loaded on them bounce internet searches through a
random pathway, or series
of relays, of other comput-
MEMORIAL — Shown is the memorial on Mt. Tom
in Holyoke, where a 1946 crash killed all 25 servicemen on board a B-17 “Flying Fortress.”
Project, a nonprofit started
in 2004 to promote the use
of Tor worldwide. “They are
a great natural ally.”
There are about 7,200
relays and 1,000 exit relays
worldwide, with more being
added steadily, Steele said.
The Tor Project is funded
largely by the U.S. State Department and other federal
agencies, yet the Department of Homeland Security
bristles at its use by civilians
because it can be used to
mask criminal activity.
Local police, at the behest of Homeland Security’s
Boston bureau, asked the
Kilton library last July to
stop using Tor. Its use was
suspended until the library
board voted unanimously at
a standing-room-only meeting in September to maintain the Tor relay.
“Kilton’s really committed as a library to the values
of intellectual privacy,” Macrina said. “In New Hampshire, there’s a lot of activism fighting surveillance. It’s
the ‘Live Free or Die’ place,
and they really mean it.”
Homeland Security agent
Gregory Squire, who initiated the crackdown at the
Kilton library, said he was
not able to comment on Tor
or last year’s investigation.
Since 1938, the American
Library Association has had
an ethics code about protecting patrons’ confidentiality. During the Cold War,
librarians fought efforts by
federal officials in 1953 to
track and regulate patrons’
reading habits by drafting
the Freedom To Read statement.
They opposed efforts by
federal investigators in the
1970s to obtain records of
patrons seeking information
about explosives, and the
ALA was targeted by Attorney General John Ashcroft
for its “baseless hysteria”
over the Patriot Act.
BOSTON (AP) — Boston’s famed Old North Church
is the latest site of an archaeological survey designed to
get a better sense of daily life going back to the city’s
colonial past.
The City of Boston’s Archaeology Program is leading
the two-week survey, which continues through Friday.
The dig is exploring the buildings’ backyards and
privies, or outhouses, which can be critical to discovering historical artifacts.
The church’s steeple played a pivotal role in the
American Revolution when lanterns were hung to signal the approach of the British, giving rise to the phrase:
“One if by land, and two if by sea.”
More than 40,000 artifacts dating back 300 years were
recovered during a 2013 survey near the church.
Anniversary of Baby Doe’s discovery
BOSTON (AP) — Police in Massachusetts are asking
residents to reflect on the death of a 2-year-old girl who
was dubbed Baby Doe after her body washed up on a
Boston Harbor island a year ago.
State troopers are making the request as Saturday
marks the anniversary of the discovery of Bella Bond.
The girl was known for months as Baby Doe after her
body was found in a trash bag by a dog walker and detectives sought her identity.
A composite image of the girl was shared by millions
on social media before she was identified in September.
Police say the case has touched the agency.
Bella’s mother’s boyfriend, Michael McCarthy, is
charged with her murder. Her mother, Rachelle Bond,
is charged with being an accessory. Both have pleaded
not guilty.
N.Y. man arrested with fireworks
STURBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — A New York man was

State police say they stopped a vehicle driven by
Ralph Green, of New Rochelle, just before 8 p.m. Friday on Interstate 84 in Sturbridge.
Police say the 38-year-old Green has a suspended license and was driving a leased vehicle he wasn’t authorized to drive.
A search of the vehicle turned up 86 different fireworks in the trunk and $4,700 in cash.

Mars Retrograde Ending This is the last day of the Mars retrograde and an ideal time to touch back on the projects you feel
have been stalled, thwarted or abandoned. What’s in there that’s
worth picking up again? Fresh momentum is about to set in. Be
like the surfer: ready to hop onto your board when the next wave
comes in. ARIES (March 21-April 19). As for this recent baffling twist, don’t
try to figure it all out just yet. At the very least, it will be more fun
not to know right away. And if you never find out at all — well, the
mystery is something delicious. Milk it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s a day for physical daring and endeavoring to act before thinking about whether you should. The
result might be a performance of stunning grace, but there are
other risks you’d be wise to consider as well.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s some excitement, and it will
enhance your experience of the day as long as you remain slightly
detached. The drama will be fun if you take a step back and refuse
to be overly serious about it.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll probably have to alter your
plan in order to accommodate weird circumstances in the morning. Your flexible attitude will contribute greatly to your success.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Everything is aligned. You say what you
want, and then you do it. Your purpose is unencumbered by doubt
or obstacle. Your focus is narrow and laser-sharp. Go!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When you distance yourself from the
forces that would rob you of your peace, you’re not running away:
You’re protecting and fortifying yourself so that you can bring the
best “you” to life.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Small-scale trials, tests and transformations are getting you ready for the bigger changes life will surely
bring. Think of this afternoon’s test as a drill for the real deal.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Beware of those who would benefit
from you thinking that the solution to the problem can be bought
in a product. If this could really be bottled, it would be the most
popular product sold on earth.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The thing you used to do for fun
may now seem quite the opposite, but that’s the very nature of fun:
Novelty, newness, risk and reward are all a part of the equation. It’s
time to search for new fun now.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Success is rather simple for you
today. Do what you say you’ll do. This is made even easier if you
don’t say you’ll do anything, freeing yourself up completely for a
change.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Everyone has a heart, but not everyone leads with it like you do today. You’ll wind up at a magical
destination, all because you followed your heart’s dictates.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you’re not careful, your tangents
will go off on tangents until you are so far from the main road (conversationally, geographically, creatively or otherwise) that it’ll take
a major transportation upgrade just to get back.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 28). Your cosmic gift is a deep sense
of belonging. The person who understands you does this so fully
and with so much love that you feel more like yourself than you’ve
ever been. July and August see you renewing contracts and bringing your home into the future, too. There’s travel to look forward to
in September. Capricorn and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 7, 3, 40, 19 and 25.

Bulger items fetch $100K
BOSTON (AP) — A ratshaped pencil holder and a
sterling silver “psycho killer”
skull ring were among the
belongings of gangster James
“Whitey” Bulger that pulled
in more than $100,000 at
a court-ordered auction to
raise money for his victims.
Hundreds of items belonging to Bulger and his longtime
girlfriend, Catherine Greig,
were up for bid at Saturday’s
auction in Bulger’s South
Boston hometown. The proceeds, totaling $109,295, will
be split among the families of
Bulger’s victims, including 20
people killed by Bulger and
his gang and several extortion
victims.
Bulger’s
coveted
ratshaped pencil holder, a nod
to the gangster’s longtime status as an FBI informant, sold
for $3,600, according to The
Boston Globe. The skull ring,
one of the auction’s prized
items, brought in $5,200. The
gangster’s gold and diamond
Claddagh ring, appraised at
$10,000 to $15,000, fetched
the highest price of the auction: $23,000.
Some said they came to the
auction at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center for the local history, while
others said they wanted to
support the victims and their
families.
South Boston attorney
Richard Lane, a close friend
of Greig’s twin sister, Margaret McCusker, paid $110 for
framed photographs of Bulger and Greig’s beloved pets.
Lane said he would give the
photos to McCusker to “keep
them in the family.”
Today is Monday, June 27,
the 179th day of 2016. There
are 187 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On June 27, 1966, the
Gothic soap opera “Dark
Shadows,” having to do with
mysterious and supernatural goings-on in Collinsport,
Maine, premiered on ABCTV.
On this date:
In 1787, English historian
Edward Gibbon completed
work on his six-volume work,
“The History of the Decline
and Fall of the Roman Empire.”
In 1844, Mormon leader
Joseph Smith and his brother,
Hyrum, were killed by a mob
in Carthage, Illinois.
In 1864, Confederate forces
repelled a frontal assault by
Union troops in the Civil War
Battle of Kennesaw Mountain
in Georgia.
In 1905, the Industrial
Workers of the World was
founded in Chicago.
In 1922, the first Newberry
Medal, recognizing excellence in children’s literature,
was awarded to “The Story of
Mankind” by Hendrik Willem
van Loon.
In 1944, during World War
II, American forces liberated
the French port of Cherbourg
from the Germans.
In 1957, more than 500
people were killed when
Hurricane Audrey slammed
through coastal Louisiana and
Texas.
In 1963, President John F.
Kennedy spent the first full
day of a visit to Ireland, the
land of his ancestors, stopping
by the County Wexford home
of his great-grandfather, Patrick Kennedy, who’d emigrated to America in 1848.
In 1974, President Richard
Nixon opened an official visit
to the Soviet Union.
In 1986, the International
Court of Justice at The Hague
ruled the United States had
broken international law and
violated the sovereignty of Nicaragua by aiding the contras.
(The U.S. had already said
it would not consider itself
bound by the World Court decision.)
In 1990, NASA announced
that a flaw in the orbiting
Hubble Space Telescope was
preventing the instrument
from achieving optimum focus. (The problem was traced
to a mirror that had not been
ground to exact specifications;
corrective optics were later installed to fix the problem.)
In 1991, Supreme Court
Justice Thurgood Marshall,
the first black jurist to sit on
the nation’s highest court, announced his retirement. (His
departure led to the contentious nomination of Clarence
Thomas to succeed him.)

Ten years ago: A constitutional amendment to ban desecration of the American flag

later sentenced to 14 years in
prison.) International judges
ordered the arrest of Libya’s
Moammar Gadhafi for murdering civilians. Venus and
Serena Williams were eliminated in the fourth round of
Wimbledon, the first time in
five years that neither sister
advanced to the quarterfinals

in Beverly Hills, California.
One year ago: The Episcopal Church elected its first
African-American presiding

Controversial plans for Wal-Mart
PITTSFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A developer has scheduled an informal community meeting to discuss its controversial plans for a Wal-Mart Supercenter in Pittsfield.
The Berkshire Eagle reports that Waterstone Retail
Development’s open house is scheduled for Tuesday
evening at the Hotel on North.
Waterstone has proposed building a 190,000-squarefoot building that would house a Wal-Mart on a 16.5acre parcel in the Stanley Business Park.
The $30 million project, known as Woodlawn Crossing, has been presented by the developers as the first
step in a mixed-use development that would eventually
feature medical offices and space for retail, light manufacturing and research.
The plan has received mixed reviews. Many people
favor the plan, but others worry about the impact on
locally owned businesses.
Two previous plans for a Wal-Mart at the site failed.
Bicyclist finds body in state forest
LOWELL, Mass. (AP) — Authorities say a body was
found on a state forest trail in Lowell over the weekend.
Crews were called to the Lowell-Dracut-Tyngsboro
State Forest around 4:30 p.m. Saturday when a bicyclist
reported finding an unresponsive man on the off-road
path. He was pronounced dead at the scene. His identity wasn’t released.
Middlesex District Attorney’s office spokesperson
Elizabeth Vlock says the death is not considered suspicious.
Authorities are investigating.
Dolphin stuck in mud rescued
FREETOWN, Mass. (AP) — Officials say a dolphin
was rescued from the Assonet River in Massachusetts
after it got stuck in the mud in a nearby cove.
Freetown animal control officer Linda Podielsky says
staff from Inland Fisheries and Wildlife helped the dolphin on Saturday. Police helped animal control cradle,
lift and pull the animal from Shepard’s Cove and into
a trailer.
Police say the dolphin was beached for 8 to 10 hours
on Friday after getting stuck in the cove during low tide.
It eventually freed itself and swam away.
Inland Fisheries and Wildlife took custody of the dolphin after it was rescued on Saturday. It was taken to a
laboratory where biologists will assess its condition and
determine if it needs any medical treatment.
Shooting probed as homicide
HOLYOKE, Mass. (AP) — Police are investigating
the weekend shooting death of woman in Holyoke as
a homicide.
Hampden County District Attorney Spokesman Jim
Leydon confirmed the woman’s death on Sunday. She
had been listed in critical condition at Baystate Medical
Center.
The woman was shot in the torso outside a housing
complex at around 11:30 p.m. Saturday.

Tinseltown Talks
By Nick Thomas
A chat with Ed Asner
Don’t expect Ed Asner’s
name to fade from casting
lists any time soon. With a
variety of current and upcoming projects, 86-yearold Asner remains as busy
and versatile as ever.
It’s a trend that follows a
lifetime of dedication to his
craft, playing bishops, doctors, judges, cops, cowboys,
professors, villains, and
hundreds more film, television, and stage characters
as well as voice roles.
“When I came out to Hollywood in 1961, I was determined not to be typecast,”
said Asner from his office
in Los Angeles. “My agent
and I worked assiduously
ever since to make sure that
never happened.”
Nevertheless, Asner is
still widely recognized as
Lou Grant, the TV news director and newspaper editor, respectively, on “The
Mary Tyler Moore Show”
and its spinoff series “Lou
Grant.” In fact, five of his
seven Primetime Emmys
were awarded for the character.
Yet he modestly brushes aside any reference to
his hefty collection of the
iconic gold-plated figures
that feature a woman with
pointed wings holding an
atom (representing the arts
and sciences).
“They’re
distributed
throughout the house,” Asner said of his statuettes.
“Those prongs are really
sharp. I just have to be sure
I don’t sit on one.”
Before arriving in Hollywood from his native Kansas City, young Ed found
one of his first television
jobs in the New York anthology drama series, “Studio One.” In 1957, he appeared in the episode “The
Night America Trembled,”
a recreation of the reputed
panic caused to some listeners by the Orson Welles’
1938 radio broadcast of
H.G. Wells’ “War of the
Worlds.”
“Imagine being in the
studio with Welles for those
broadcasts,” noted Asner of
Welles’ “Mercury Theatre
on the Air” radio dramas.
“I’ve heard he would stay in
bed and roll out just in time
to make it to the studio so
his voice would be as deep
as he could get it.”
The 60s brought movie
roles alongside the likes of
Boris Karloff, John Wayne,
and Elvis Presley. Asner
worked with Elvis twice, in
1962’s “Kid Galahad” and
“Change of Habit,” in 1969,
the latter starring Mary Tyler Moore who would soon
rocket to fame in her own
show with Asner.
“I actually never saw
Mary on the film because
we had different scenes. I
fleetingly watched her on
the Dick Van Dyke Show,
but never thought she
would turn into the talented powerhouse that she
became.”
After
working
with
Moore on her comedy series, Asner took the lead
in his own show in 1977 – a
rare network move to spinoff a 1-hour drama series
from a half-hour comedy.
But “Lou Grant” eventually found an audience
and good ratings during its
5-season run. The first season was released on DVD
in May and the second season is due for release this
summer.
“I didn’t base the character on any particular
journalist,” noted Asner. “I
looked to my older brothers
for their largeness and for
their teasing and doubting
qualities. For the hour show
that dealt with more serious
issues, I began to look more
into myself for inspiration.”
When the series was suddenly canceled in 1982, Asner believed it was due to
his political views and activism, including a statement
he made as the Screen Actors Guild president regarding U.S. policy in Central America at the time.
And despite his left-leaning
philosophy, he even managed to rankle liberal Hollywood.
“Even the liberal producers and directors were
loath to employ me for a
while because I could affect
50% of their audience and
alienate some sponsors,” he
said.
Today Asner still speaks
out on social issues of concern and has numerous film
and TV projects lined up
for the coming year. And
he continues to perform his
one-man show, “A Man and
His Prostate.”
“I’ve had wonderful audience reception,” he said.
“I’m doing several nights in
Chicago in September and
more next year in New York
and Florida.”
When asked to sum up
his career, Asner offered
a one-word description,
“eclectic,” adding “I was
always happy with the variety of roles I was able to
garner. But I’m not through
yet.”

Court clears
TV vet
DETROIT (AP) — A
Boston terrier named Mr.
Pigglesworth is as frisky as
ever — and the Michigan
veterinarian who saved the
dog’s life on a reality TV
show has been cleared of
misconduct.
The Michigan appeals
court on Friday overturned
a $500 fine and probation
for Jan Pol, who has a popular show on Nat Geo Wild
called “The Incredible Dr.
Pol.”
In a 3-0 decision, the
court seemed incredulous
that Pol was in hot water
for saving a dog that was
struck by a car. The Mount
Pleasant-area vet in 2011
removed Mr. Pigglesworth’s
badly damaged eye, stitched
lacerations in his mouth and
determined that the pelvis
would heal without much
treatment.
“The dog lived. What did
I do wrong?” Pol, 73, told
The Associated Press.
But a Kentucky veterinarian who saw the TV show
about two years later in
2013 filed a complaint with
the state of Michigan. Regulators investigated and said
Pol didn’t wear a mask or
provide IV therapy and other comforts while treating
Mr. Pigglesworth.
In response, Pol said he
had sanitized his hands. He
said the dog, 2 years old at
the time, was properly sedated during surgery and
recovered in a warm kennel.
Nonetheless, a disciplinary panel at the Michigan
Board of Veterinary Medicine last year accepted the
findings of hearing officer
Shawn Downey and ordered
penalties. That result was
swept away by the appeals
court, which said the decision was “arbitrary and capricious.”
“Mr. Pigglesworth came
through with flying colors
and went home the next
day,” the court said. “So far
as we are aware, he continues to bring great joy to his
owners and terror to the local squirrels. ... This case is
curious. A dog’s life is saved,
yet the veterinarian faces
sanctions.”
Pol said he feels “elated”
after the ruling. He said he
took Mr. Pigglesworth to
the disciplinary hearing in
2015.
“We showed that he’s
a happy and healthy dog.
That made no difference,”
he said.
The owners, Mable and
Loyd Frisbie, said Pol
charged only $250 to save
the dog.
“He’s doing great,” Mable
Frisbie said of Mr. Pigglesworth. “We never had any
complaints.”
Day,’ ‘The Shallows’ surprises
By JAKE COYLE
AP Film Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — The
“Finding Dory” tidal wave
overwhelmed the sputtering
sequel “Independence Day:
Resurgence,” as the alien-invasion redux was drowned out
by the popular Pixar release in
North American theaters.
In its second week, “Finding Dory” easily remained on
top with an estimated $73.2
million, according to studio
estimates Sunday. That far
surpassed the $41.6 million
opening of “Resurgence,”
which debuted well off the
pace of its 1996 original. The
first “Independence Day”
opened with $50.2 million, or
about $77 million in inflationadjusted dollars.
Of the week’s other debuts,
the Blake Lively shark thriller
“The Shallows” rode a wave
of good reviews to a betterthan-expected $16.7 million
for Sony. Matthew McConaughey’s Civil War drama
“Free State of Jones,” however, disappointed with just $7.7
million for the upstart studio
STX Entertainment.
In a weekend full of ups and
downs, the opening of “Independence Day” was the most
closely watched debut. Long
pegged as one of 20th Century
Fox’s tentpoles of the season,
it had once been expected to
be one of the summer’s biggest films.
A proud popcorn movie, directed, like the first “Independence Day,” by Roland Emmerich, “Resurgence” brought
back much of the original cast
with the significant exception
of Will Smith. Without him,
the sequel doesn’t appear
likely to match the $817.4 million global haul of the original.
Chris Aronson, head of
distribution for Fox, acknowledged the result was “on the
lower side of our prognostications.”
‘‘Resurgence,”
however, took in $102 million
abroad, where it — ironically,
for a movie named after the
United States’ declaration of
independence — is doing bet-
ter business.
“We always expected international to carry the baton,”
Aronson said.
Fox, perhaps smarting from
the critical reaction to its recent release “X-Men: Apocalypse,” took the unusual move
of not screening the film for
critics before release. Such an
approach comes with its own
risks, too — even bad reviews
can be good publicity — but
Aronson maintained the strategy didn’t hurt the film’s release.
“Independence Day: Resurgence,” which cost $165
million to produce, is yet another sequel to struggle this
summer, joining the likes of
“Alice Through the Looking
Glass” and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the
Shadows.”
Along with the smaller horror film “The Conjuring 2”
($86.9 million in three weeks
for Warner Bros.), the acclaimed “Finding Dory” has
been the major exception.
After setting a record opening
weekend for Pixar last weekend, the film’s cumulative domestic total is already a whopping $286.5 million.
“We talk about sequel-itis,
which may or may not be an
actual affliction, but certainly
of these many sequels released this summer and this
year, the winners have been
the rarity,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst
for comScore. “There’s definitely been a pushback from
audiences for many of the
sequels, including ‘Independence Day.’”
With the lucrative July 4th
holiday weekend coming up,
theaters were jammed with
nearly every genre. The comedy option, “Central Intelligence,” starring Dwayne
Johnson and Kevin Hart, held
strongly in its second week,
earning $18.4 million.
In the crowded field, some
gambles didn’t pay off. For
Gary Ross’ “Free State of
Jones,” in which McConaughey plays a Confederate deserter who led a revolt
A Take on
A Movie
By Ashley Arseneau
‘Trumbo’
The Black List and the
Communist investigation of
the mid 20th century was a
dark time for the Hollywood
film industry and America as
a whole. Many actors, film
workers and screenwriters
were investigated by Congress and not allowed to be
hired for work, ruining their
lives. ‘Trumbo,’ released in
2015, depicts the real life
events surrounding communist screenwriter Dalton
Trumbo during the era of the
black list that barred those
identified communists from
working. Trumbo, played by Bryan
Cranston (Breaking Bad,
Malcolm in the Middle), in
the late 1940s has just been
signed to a record breaking
three-year deal with MGM
studios for a large amount
of money and is one of the
best writers in Hollywood.
He is also a registered Communist. Trumbo has no intentions to apologize for his
ideals or switch sides to protect himself. Even when he
is subpoenaed to testify in
front of Congress. Refusing
to admit or deny anything, he
is sent to prison for contempt
along with nine of his fellow
screenwriters dubbed as the
Hollywood 10. Once he is released, Trumbo is not immediately accepted back onto studio lots
as a writer, forcing him to
write scripts under various
fake names for studios that
care more about the quantity of scripts he brings them
than the quality. He has so
much work he has to bring in
the rest of the Hollywood 10
to keep up with the demands
and still works around the
clock writing stupid movies. Trumbo even makes his
wife and kids work for him
delivering scripts so as not to
cause suspicion, and answering the phone being careful
not to divulge his true identity. This puts a great deal of
stress on the entire family as
it did many of the families of
those who were blacklisted
during that time. This movie brought new
light to what seemed to be
a pointless crusade that
went on for many years in
America. The actors did a
pretty fair job portraying the
real life people who were involved in the Cold War investigations of Communists and
the struggles of those who
were persecuted for having
ideals different than the government’s. Having seen Cranston on
‘Malcolm in the Middle’ as
the goofy, pushover dad,
it was weird to see him in
such a serious role. While
this movie was not the most
entertaining movie, it seems
like an important story. It
was meant to be serious and

— Famed defense attorney
F. Lee Bailey, whose legion
of high-profile cases includes
the O.J. Simpson murder
trial, has filed for bankruptcy
in Maine in an effort to discharge an IRS debt of more
than $5 million.
Debts to the IRS aren’t
normally discharged in bankruptcy proceedings, but the
83-year-old Bailey said Friday
that they can be if one abides
by certain conditions, such as
filing and paying his taxes on
time since the original taxes
and penalties were assessed.

attempted a curiously wide
release for Nicolas Winding

Garbus
makes a
music video
LOS ANGELES (AP) —
What does it take to get an
Oscar-nominated documentarian to direct a music video?
A call from Glenn Close.
That’s how Liz Garbus, director of “What Happened,
Miss Simone?” came to make
the video for “Ghost Story,”
which is being released Friday
in association with Close’s
mental health advocacy organization, Bring Change 2
Mind .
“Ghost Story” is by
16-year-old Whitney Woerz
, who wrote the song to help
a friend overcome depression and thoughts of suicide.
The six-minute video features
teenagers sharing their experiences with depression, anxiety and other mental-health
conditions.
Garbus described the piece
as a hybrid between documentary and music video.
“We storyboarded it out
and went into a very long and
intense casting process,” said
Garbus, whose other recent
credits include “Nothing Left
Unsaid: Gloria Vanderbilt
& Anderson Cooper” and
“Love, Marilyn.”
She sent out an open casting call for young people willing to open up about mental
illness in a music video.
“There were a thousand
kids who wanted to talk,
who’d had experiences with
depression or anxiety or
OCD or bipolar or other disorders,” Garbus said. “And
often times ... the parents
were the ones who wouldn’t
let them come forward. What
it pointed to was a generational divide in how comfortable we feel in talking about
mental health issues.”
Close established Bring
Change 2 Mind in 2010 to
help develop an end to the
stigma around mental illness.
Garbus said she was inspired by the bravery of the
“heroes” who shared their
stories and by the experience
of trying something new behind the camera.

Hospital, nurses’ union reach agreement
BOSTON (AP) — Brigham and Women’s Hospital has
agreed on a contract with more than 3,000 nurses, avoiding
a one-day strike.
The nurses’ union announced the tentative agreement on
Saturday. The union said the strike would have been the
first strike by nurses in Boston in three decades.
A union representative calls the settlement a “huge victory,” crediting the 3,300 nurses who “stood together.”
Brigham and Women’s Health Care President Betsy Nabel says hospital officials are “extremely pleased” the strike
notice was rescinded.
Warehouse fire smoke seen miles away
BOSTON (AP) — Boston fire officials say a blaze
broke out at a warehouse in Hyde Park sending up thick
black smoke that could be seen miles away.
The fire department says on its Twitter page that
the fire broke out about 5:40 p.m. Saturday at Hyde
Park Masonry and Landscape Supplies. Because of the
smoke, some apartment houses nearby were evacuated.
No serious injuries were reported.
Fire officials say they aren’t sure what materials are
burning but believe tanks of hazardous gases are inside the building. They expected to be working the fire
through the night.
Oldest warship to mark 40th anniversary
BOSTON (AP) — The USS Constitution Museum is
planning to celebrate its 40th anniversary, just in time for
the Fourth of July holiday.
The celebration, called “A 40 Year Journey,” is scheduled
for Thursday in the Navy Yard of Boston’s Charlestown
neighborhood. Festivities will include a ribbon-cutting for
“Forest to Frigate,” the museum’s new, interactive exhibit
exploring President George Washington’s decision to create a navy to protect the growing American merchant fleet.
The exhibit traces the journey of the USS Constitution,
known as “Old Ironsides,” from the forest where her timber
grew to her launch as a fully formed frigate.
Built in 1797, the Constitution is the world’s oldest commissioned warship still afloat.
Fishermen’s Tribute Monument
NEW BEDFORD, Mass. (AP) — A statue depicting a
fishing family will be installed on the New Bedford waterfront as a tribute to generations of commercial fishermen
and their families.
A celebration of the Fishermen’s Tribute Monument will
be held Thursday in Tonneson Park. A committee raised
money for more than a decade to pay for the monument.
The bronze statue depicts a mother standing near her fisherman husband, who is down on one knee, with the couple’s
daughter in his lap and his hand on the shoulder of their son,
who holds a crew cap.
The sculpture by New Bedford artist Erik Durant is full of
symbolism recognizable to fishing families.

New Hampshire woman drops defamation suit against Cosby
SPRINGFIELD,
Mass.
(AP) — A 72-year-old New
Hampshire woman who says
Bill Cosby raped her in 1965
has withdrawn her civil defamation lawsuit against the comedian after a federal judge
had allowed the case to move
forward.
Kristina Ruehli’s lawyer
told The Associated Press on
Friday that her client had decided not to pursue the case
because the legal landscape
has changed since she first
filed suit in November. Cosby
now faces criminal prosecution in Pennsylvania and similar civil actions are in play in
Massachusetts and elsewhere
by dozens of other accusers.
“Ms. Ruehli is 72 and her
husband just celebrated his
79th birthday,” Megan Deluhery, Ruehli’s lawyer, said.
“She will watch the pending cases proceed in solidarity with other survivors, those
known and unknown, while
returning her focus, if she can,
on her daily life and trying to
put behind her all the pain this
ordeal has caused her.”
Rafting
deaths in
Alaska
ANCHORAGE, Alaska
(AP) — The recent deaths of
two women during a rafting
excursion illustrate not only
how unpredictably dangerous Alaska’s wilderness can
be, but also how limited resources are in the nation’s
largest state.
The women’s families are
questioning why it took so
long for help to arrive, but
one official notes the nearest
rescuers had to travel hundreds of miles and deal with
all the logistics that go with
it. In Alaska, the harsh reality is that people are literally
on their own when they veer
away from the limited road
system of the state, which is
more than two-and-a-half
times the size of Texas but
with a population equal to
the metro area of Baton
Rouge, Louisiana.
“Unfortunately, we do not
have rescue assets within
close proximity of every region in our state, and sometimes capability, proper resources, and timeliness in
response to an incident is
not immediately available,”
Alaska National Guard
spokeswoman Lt. Col. Candis Olmstead said in an email
to The Associated Press.
An average number of recreational backcountry deaths
or rescues involving out-ofstate visitors in recent years
was not immediately available.
Alaska National Guard officials say the response mission to the rafters involved
military aircraft from as far
away as Anchorage — a trip
of nearly 600 miles, the same
distance between Chicago
and Atlanta. Officials also
point to unforeseen complications, including time lost
after a rescue crew member’s medical emergency
that forced responders to
turn around.
Cosby spokesman Andrew
Wyatt responded that the comedian hopes more lawsuits
are dropped or dismissed and
that Cosby looks forward to
fighting the rest before a jury
in court.
Wyatt also noted Ruehli’s
is the second defamation
case against his client to be
dismissed this year. In January, former teen actress Renita Hill’s civil suit was dismissed by a federal judge in
Pittsburgh who ruled that the
Cosby camp’s comments were
protected by the First Amendment.
“For those in the media
who accepted every allegation raised without question
or evaluation, they need to answer the well-known question
with respect to Mr. Cosby,
‘Which office do I go to get my
reputation back?’,” Wyatt said
in a statement.
Deluhery countered that
Ruehli’s dismissal, unlike
Hill’s, was voluntary and had
“nothing to do” with the merits of the case.
Ruehli filed a notice to voluntarily dismiss the suit without prejudice, meaning she
could refile it. It came after
a judge in Springfield, near
where Cosby has a home, rejected the comedian’s bid to
dismiss the case Thursday.
Like other alleged victims seeking civil judgments
against Cosby, Ruehli argued
that Cosby falsely accused her
of lying and tarnished her reputation when she came for-
ward in 2014 to say he raped
her.
Ruehli, who lives in Windham, near the Massachusetts
state line, had said in her lawsuit that she met Cosby while
working as a secretary at a Los
Angeles talent agency when
she was 22 years old.
She said Cosby invited
her and others to a party at
his home. Ruehli, who was
named Donna Czapla at the
time, says she took two drinks
from Cosby and passed out,
only to wake up naked and in
Cosby’s bed. She says Cosby
was trying to force her to give
him oral sex.
