PAWTUCKET – Elevenyear-old Zach Ansell hails from
Los Angeles.
Thirteen-year-old Noah
Kalus resides in New Platz, a
small village in upstate New
York, situated approximately
midway between Albany and
New York City.
While the two boys’ hometowns could not be more different, what united the pair and
brought them to Pawtucket this
weekend was their love of
Scrabble, as the duo teamed
together as “The East West
Word Wizards” at the North
American School Scrabble
Championship, held at the
Hasbro headquarters.
The Wizards were among
56 teams of 118 fourththrough eighth-grade students
from across the United States
and Canada who converged
together this weekend in an
effort to spell success via the
famous lettered tiles.
The 13th annual championship was hosted by Hasbro

Special to The Times
SOUTH KINGSTOWN — More than 15,000 parents, friends, and supporters gathered to celebrate
University of Rhode Island’s 129th commencement
on Saturday and Sunday.
Reading the ceremony’s dedication was Qutaiba
Albluwi, URI chaplain of the Muslim Community
Center of Kingston, who is also a Ph.D student in the
Department of Computer Science.
“Dear graduates, today is a day of celebration and
gratitude,” he said. “We proudly honor your achievement; we sincerely pray for the continuity of your
success and we wish you further and bright accomplishment.”
The university conferred degrees on 3,204 undergraduate and 668 graduate students. About 60 percent
of the undergraduate and 65 percent of the graduate
degrees were awarded to students who were from
Rhode Island.
URI President David M. Dooley welcomed the
audience and reflected on the social, political, and
ethnic heterogeneity represented by the class of 2015.
“Watching our students march today, and yesterday, I could not help but notice the striking diversity
represented by our graduates,” he said. “They come
from all across America, from many nations of the
world, from many social/economic backgrounds,
races, ethnicities, orientations, and political persuasions. Indeed the entire University of Rhode Island
reflects the marvelous diversity of our national and
world.”
“Together we make up a community, a community
that comes together today to celebrate our mutual
achievements and to share our joy with each other,”
he added.
The class of 2015 had 26 international undergradu-

WACO, Texas —
Authorities say the nine
people killed in a shootout
at a Central Texas restaurant were all members of
rival biker gangs that had
gathered there for a meeting.
Waco police Sgt. W.
Patrick Swanton says 18
other gang members were
taken to hospitals Sunday
for injuries suffered in the
violence at a Twin Peaks
restaurant shortly after
noon.
Swanton says the gangs
had arranged to meet to discuss differences when a
fistfight began and quickly
escalated to include knives
and firearms. He says there
were “hundreds” of gang
members and a small number of other patrons in the
restaurant.
Swanton says as many as
five rival gangs attended the
gathering.
He says past tensions
among the groups have
focused on turf and recruitment efforts.
Authorities were investigating the scene and questioning witnesses Sunday
evening.

Scrabble
or NASPA. Teams competed in
seven rounds of tournament play
and were ranked based on their
win-loss record and cumulative
point spread. The top two teams
then met Sunday afternoon in the
finals, with a chance to win the
coveted champion’s trophy and a
$10,000 prize.
Kalus said that his affection for
Scrabble came from his family,
who would frequently play the
board game as part of their game
nights.
“I really got into it and I got
good at it. I started doing some
tournaments and I’m here now,” he
said excitedly from the Hasbro
headquarters Saturday morning.
The 2015 championship represented his fourth trip to the national
tournament.
Ansell said that he was the first
person in his family to “really
enjoy” the popular board game. He
said he read ‘Word Freak,’ a 2001
non-fiction narrative about competitive Scrabble, and that is what got
him into the game.
From there, Ansell joined a
local Scrabble club, then started
playing in tournaments. This week-

Graduate students were

Dooley also recognized
federal officials on the dais,
including U.S. Sen. Jack
Reed and U.S. Reps. David
Cicilline and James
Langevin, as well as the
URI Board of Trustees.
Student speaker Matthew
Quainoo delivered a strong
message of encouragement
to his classmates.
Graduating in two years at
age 19, Quainoo began earning college credits by taking
advanced placement classes
in high school and will pursue his master’s degree in
end was his second trip to the
national championship.
“I really feel that I think it’s
better the second time, because
then you know what to expect and
how to handle it,” Ansell said.
Kalus said the game helps to
build his vocabulary, while at the
same time affording him the
opportunity to meet new people
and make new friends.
“It’s almost a bonding opportunity,” he said of playing
Scrabble.
Ansell said that the game helps
with language and math skills, as
adding scores and learning probabilities can go a long way for a
player.
John Chew, co-president of
NASPA, said that there is something about crabble that “brings a
passion” in those who play.
“For us, we’re looking at our
future here. As soon as they graduate out of the school program, they
are going to be competing at an
adult level … for us, it’s a lifelong
calling,” Chew said.
“Each game is different,” Chew
later noted. “Scrabble has been
likened to creating a crossword
puzzle, the outcome is different
each time and is something beautiful to look at in the end. There’s a

Princeton Theological
Seminary in Princeton, N.J.
“To my fellow students, I
congratulate you. You are
like luminous stars in the
universe scintillating with
the light of hope for our
human family,” he said. “Do
not fear the daunting darkness of our world, for you
are the light that will dispel
the darkness with the radiance of integrity and justice.”
The commencement
included the conferring of
five honorary doctorates to
individuals who had made
unique contributions to the
university, the people of the
State of Rhode Island and
the nation. Since 1941, URI
has awarded 451 honorary
degrees, which are the highest awards bestowed by the
university.
This year’s honorary
degree recipients included:
Shirley Cherry, a former
Portsmouth High School
teacher/librarian and former
tour director for the Dexter
Parsonage, the former home
of Dr. Martin Luther King
Jr. in Montgomery,
lot to learn about playing the
game.”
Chew said he felt that Scrabble
offers the right balance between
skill and luck — that there is
enough luck involved that a person
can feel they drew the wrong tiles
if they lose, but there’s enough
skill involved for a winner to feel
good about themselves and the
way they played the game.
“The more you study the
game, the more words you learn,
the luckier you end up being,” he
noted. “It’s one of those rare situations in life where you can make
yourself lucky by improving your
skills.”
Although many students in
fourththrough eighth-grade today
are finding entertainment online or
through video games, Chew thinks
there is still room in the future for
a classic board game like Scrabble.
“It’s definitely a challenge, and
I was less optimistic about that a
few years ago than I am now. I
think that some of the novelty is
wearing off on online interaction,
even among kids and even among
teenagers,” Chew said. “Because if
you can get kids to play each other
at a board game face to face, they
realize that there’s something there
in the direct personal interaction

Schnelle, a longtime board
member of the URI
International Engineering
Program, an international
diplomat and former
German Consul General in
Boston; and, Angus C. F.
Taylor, president and CEO
of Hexagon Metrology, and
a distinguished global leader
and advocate for dual-language immersion programs.
Receiving a posthumous
honorary degree was Leo F.
DiMaio Jr., director emeritus of URI’s Talent
Development Program,
which helps disadvantaged
Rhode Island students at
URI. His granddaughter,
Angelica M. DiMaio, URI
class of 2015, accepted the
award on her grandfather’s
behalf.
Also receiving an honorary degree was Cranston
native Rudolph E. Tanzi,
who holds the Joseph P. and
Rose. F. Kennedy Endowed
Chair in Neurology at
Harvard Medical School. In
1980 he helped find the
gene for Huntington’s disease and hopes to find a
cure for Alzheimer’s disease
that’s missing online.”
“When you’re playing somebody online, you don’t know who
you’re playing, you don’t know if
they’re old or young, or if they are
looking up all of the words in the
dictionary before they play them,”
Chew said, adding that in a faceto-face game, “you come to the
table only with what you brought
in your brains.”
One subject upon which the
teammates disagreed is how they
prefer to play. Kalus said he enjoys
face-to-face competition.
“If you’re online, a lot of people cheat and it's kind of annoying,” he said. “Also, when you're
online, you don’t see each other. I
find it a lot more enjoyable in real
life.”
However, his fellow Wizard
begged to differ.
“I actually prefer the online
version,” Ansell said. “You don’t
have to set anything up, you can
play even if there’s no one in your
country playing. You can still play
people without having to go on an
airplane.”
Chew also said that he felt the
competitive aspects involved in the
game were something that those
playing on Saturday welcomed.
“Over the last 10 to 20 years, I
by 2020. Time magazine
listed him on the 2015 “100
Most Influential People in
the World,” and he had been
named one of the “Top 20
Translational Scientists in
the World.”
Tanzi was also the commencement speaker and
began by acknowledging his
Rhode Island roots.
“Believe me, growing up,
I had more of my share of
coffee milk and stuffies,” he
laughed. “ Although I am
now a professor at Mass
General Hospital and
Harvard Medical School, I
can proudly say, ‘Once a
Rhode Islander, always a
Rhode Islander!’”
Life will be easier after
college, Tanzi said, but it
was important to make good
choices.
“Your choices create your
experiences and your experiences create who you are!”
he said. “So, my first piece
of advice: Always take the
time to make good choices.”
He emphasized serving
others as the key to happiness and success.
“Training and preparation
combined with the intention
think in the school systems in
North America, there’s been a
movement away from competitive
activities as being too difficult for
children’s psyches to tolerate, and
that pendulum is definitely swinging back,” he said. “Kids really
want to know who is better than
whom at everything from football
to chess to Scrabble.”
The popular board game teaches a variety of useful skills, he
said, from expanding your vocabulary — which leads to becoming
more articulate and iterate — to
quickening one’s arithmetic skills.
Additionally, in School Scrabble
— in which teams of two square
off - you learn the virtues of cooperation and supporting your teammate.
Chris Cree, co-president of
NASPA, agreed.
“It's never-ending mathematical equations. We find that the best
players tend to be both mathematical and musical, the right-left
brain, the creative aspect, and the
spatial sense of the board allows
for creativity, to see two or three
moves ahead,” Cree said. “It’s just
the best of all worlds to me.”

to serve others will always
allow you to make the right
choices,” he said.
“Ironically, whether in your
family, your community, a
sports team, or your workplace, you best serve yourself when you focus on
serving others.”
“Replace that desire for
recognition with the passion
for service to others, and
your potential for success
and happiness will have no
limits,” he added.
In closing, Dooley talked
about the meaning behind
words “rights, privileges,
and responsibilities,” which
are part of the conferring of
academic degrees.
“The first word in our
incantation — “rights” —
has perhaps the most obvious meaning. You have the
right to assert that you have
been awarded a degree from
University of Rhode Island,
to display that degree, and
to claim the legacy of this
distinguished university,” he
said.
“With that comes the
“privilege” of joining in a
new way community of
which you may, or may not,
have been previously a
part,” he continued. “It is a
distinguished community,
composed of many diverse
individuals of high achievement, of big vision, of bold
purpose — over 100,000
strong.”
“By joining that community, you accept the “responsibilities” as well as the
“privileges” of belonging,”
he said. “The foremost
responsibilities are to honor
those who belong with you,
to work to make our community stronger, and to
bring it honor.”
Closing the ceremony,
Dooley thanked the audience for all everyone had
already done to “make this
world a better place for all.”
“As we leave this ceremony today, let us commit
to one another, as the community of the University of
Rhode Island, to seek the
truth, to pursue what is
noble and right, to celebrate
whatever we see or find that
is pure, or lovely, or
admirable, to always strive
for excellence and always to
offer praise when it is
earned,” he said.
Singing girls leave road warriors in weekend box office dust
‘Pitch Perfect 2’ tops
‘Mad Max: Fury Road’
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The
ladies of “Pitch Perfect 2” hit all
the right notes opening weekend,
amassing a $70.3 million debut,
according to Rentrak estimates
Sunday.
The Elizabeth Banks-directed
sequel to the 2012 sleeper hit and
video-on-demand phenomenon
cost Universal Pictures only $29
million to produce and was
expected to open in the $50 million range. The first film, for comparison, grossed only $65 million
domestically across its entire run.
“It’s aca-awesome,” said
Universal Pictures’ President of
Domestic Distribution Nick
Carpou, using one of the catchphrases of the film about a cappella singing. “We knew that the film
would be a success, but there’s
something that happens when
movies grow in their success
beyond a range that’s easily predictable. When that happens, the
sky’s the limit.”
Audiences for the musical comedy starring Anna Kendrick and
Rebel Wilson were 75 percent
female and 62 percent under the
age of 25, according to Universal.
Carpou attributed some of the
massive success to savvy positioning and the widespread appeal of
the popular music and the charismatic, diverse cast. He noted that
ads during the NBA playoffs and a
Super Bowl spot helped to grow
the film’s audience base.
George Miller’s critically
acclaimed “Mad Max: Fury Road”
landed a distant second in its
debut weekend with a solid and
expected $44.4 million from 3,702
locations. The high-octane, postapocalyptic film cost a reported
$150 million to make and stars
Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy.
Although it cost significantly
more than “Pitch Perfect 2” to
produce and didn’t come close to

matching its opening, “Mad Max:
Fury Road” still had a promising
and successful first weekend in
theaters — especially considering
the fact that it is R-rated.
“We’re very excited about the
opening,” Warner Bros. President
of Domestic Distribution Dan
Fellman said. “We’re going to
have some long legs and some
great success on this movie.”
The film, which also played in
IMAX and 3D, is one of the best
reviewed in the studio’s history.
Fellman said that many of the
showings ended with applause,
only adding to the hope that word
of mouth will contribute to a
lengthy and successful run.
Audiences for the film were 70
percent male and 46 percent under
the age of 35, according to Warner
Bros.
For Rentrak’s Senior Media
Analyst Paul Dergarabedian, the
weekend is an undisputed success
for both studios.
“Mad Max: Fury Road” also
made $65 million internationally,
bringing its worldwide total to
$109.4 million.
“Each film absolutely found its
target audience,” Dergarabedian
said. “They were running on parallel tracks, and both exceeded
expectations by not cannibalizing
each other. It was the perfect
release strategy for two very different, high-profile films ... it really paid off handsomely.”
Holdovers “Avengers: Age of
Ultron,” “Hot Pursuit” and
“Furious 7” claimed the rest of the
spots in the top five.
After opening in China six days
ago, the “Avengers” sequel
brought in $185 million internationally in its fourth weekend. The
film has now grossed $1.1 billion
globally.

Presidential hopefuls agree: Iraq was a mistake
WASHINGTON (AP) — A dozen
years later, American politics has
reached a rough consensus about the
Iraq War: It was a mistake.
Politicians hoping to be president
rarely run ahead of public opinion. So
it’s a revealing moment when the major
contenders for president in both parties
find it best to say that 4,491 Americans
and countless Iraqis lost their lives in a
war that shouldn’t have been waged.
Many people have been saying that
for years, of course. Polls show most of
the public have judged the war a failure
by now. Over time, more and more
GOP politicians have allowed that the
absence of weapons of mass destruction
in Iraq undermined Republican
President George W. Bush's rationale
for the 2003 invasion.
It hasn’t been an easy evolution for
those such as Democratic presidential
candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton, who
voted for the war in 2002 while serving
in Congress. That vote, and her refusal
to fully disavow it, cost her during her
2008 primary loss to Barack Obama,
who wasn’t in the Senate in 2002 but
had opposed the war.
In her memoir last year, Clinton
wrote that she had voted based on the
information available at the time, but “I
got it wrong. Plain and simple.”
What might seem a hard truth for a
nation to acknowledge has become the
safest thing for an American politician
to say — even Bush’s brother.
The fact that Jeb Bush, a likely candidate for the Republican nomination in
2016, was pressured this past week into
rejecting, in hindsight, his brother’s war
“is an indication that the received wisdom, that which we work from right
now, is that this was a mistake,” said
Evan Cornog, a historian and dean of
the Hofstra University school of communication.
Or, as Rick Santorum, another potential Republican candidate, put it:
“Everybody accepts that now.”
Santorum didn’t always see the war
that way. He voted for the invasion as a
senator and continued to support it for
years. Last week, he mocked Jeb Bush’s
reluctance to give what now seems the
obvious answer when he was initially
asked to reconsider the war in light of
what’s known today. “I don’t know how
that was a hard question,” Santorum
said.
It’s an easier question for presidential hopefuls who aren’t bound by family ties or their own congressional vote
for the war, who have the luxury of
judging it in hindsight, knowing full
well the terrible price Americans paid
and the continuing bloodshed in Iraq
today.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Texas
Sen. Ted Cruz weren’t in Congress in
2002 and so didn’t have to make a realtime decision with imperfect knowledge. Neither was New Jersey Gov.
Chris Christie or Ohio Gov. John
Kasich, who served an earlier stint in
Congress.
All these Republicans said last week
that, in hindsight, they would not have
invaded Iraq with what’s now known
about the faulty intelligence that wrongly indicated Saddam Hussein had stockpiled weapons of mass destruction.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, in an
interview Sunday on CBS’ “Face the
Nation,” summed up that sentiment:
“Knowing what we know now, I think
it’s safe for many of us, myself included, to say, we probably wouldn't have
taken” that approach.
Rubio, in a long exchange on “Fox
News Sunday,” tried to navigate the
Iraq shoals once again, making a glasshalf-full case that while the war was
based on mistaken intelligence, the
world still is better off with Saddam
gone.

student on the National
Spanish Examinations is very
prestigious,” said Kevin
Cessna-Buscemi, National
Director of the Exams,
“because the exams are the
largest of their kind in the
United States with over
157,000 students participating in 2015.”
The National Spanish
Examinations are administered each year in grades 6
through 12, and are spon-
sored by the American
Association of Teachers of
Spanish and Portuguese.
Students of French at
Lincoln High School also
participated in the National
French Contest for the third
year in a row.
Margaret Tarmey received
national and state honorable
mention and Aidan
Mazagonwalla received state
honorable mention. In all,
90,913 students from across
the United States participated
in the Contest in 2015.
The Applied Learning students also enjoyed a week of
celebrating different cultures
during their own World
Language Week April 27May 1.
Students viewed the true
story of Colombian immigrants and their struggle for
survival on the streets of New
York in the critically
acclaimed film “Entre Nos.”
There was also a day of competition in the area of international trivia.
Nationally recognized
Latin dance instructor Jeff
Allen taught lessons on the
Dominican style of dance
known as Bachata. And
Providence’s own Le
Creperie donated delicious
crepes to the dance participants as well.
To test the students’ ability
Join
to think and build creatively,
an edible monument contest
was held. Students constructed Il Duomo from Florence,
Chichen Itza from Mexico,
Big Ben from England, the
Great Wall of China, and the
Leaning Tower of Pisa out of
such materials as marshmallow Fluff, sugar wafers, gum
drops and pretzel sticks.
Finally, the Transition
Program run by Mrs. Patricia
Kilsey catered an international themed luncheon for students and faculty that was
very well attended.
It was a wonderful week
of learning about and appreciating other cultures of the
world.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN

Woonsocket won first place
in the fifth annual ‘Eighth
Grade Gandhi Essay
Contest’ sponsored by the
Center for Nonviolence &
Peace Studies at the
University of Rhode Island.
Winning eighth grade
essayists and community
service activists were recognized during a recent
award ceremony held in the
URI Multicultural Center.
The essays offered personal reflections on a quote
from Gandhi the famed
Indian nonviolent activist.
Students were asked to
explain what the quote, “if
we are to teach real peace
in this world, and if we are
to carry on a real war
against war, we shall have
to begin with the children,”
means to them.
The contest received 159
entries from eighth graders
at 15 public and private
schools. While 22 of the
top 159 essayists were recognized, the top three were
presented with cash prizes.
Jessica Rogers from
Burrillville Middle School,
and George Saban Jr., from
Dr. Edward A. Ricci
Middle School in North
Providence were awarded
with second place. Third
place was awarded to
Atticus Duncan of
Narragansett Pier Middle

In addition, the Gandhi
Compassionate and Selfless
Service award was presented to four eighth graders
who, in the last year, exemplified admirable youthful
idealism through compassionate activities that benefited their school and community members. Students
were nominated by their
teachers and counselors for
their service to others in
their schools and communities and their excellent
character.
Hailey Chapman from
Tiverton Middle School,
Patrick Him from Gilbert

America’s next Mideast war
likely to emerge from Syria
Jeb Bush has spent the week debating
with himself over whether he would have
started the war his brother launched on Iraq.
When he figures it out, hopefully, our
would-be president will focus in on the campaign to drag us into yet another Mideast
war — this time to bring down Bashar
Assad’s regime in Syria.
While few would mourn the passing of
the Assad dynasty, there is a problem: If
Assad falls, a slaughter of
Christians will follow and
the battle for control of
Damascus will be between
the Syrian branch of alQaida, the Nusra Front, and
the crazed terrorists of the
Islamic State.
Victory for either would
be a disaster for America.
Where is the evidence of
an unholy alliance to bring
this about?
Pat Buchanan
Turkey, which turned a
blind eye to ISIS volunteers
slipping into Syria, has aided the Nusra
Front in setting up its own capital in Idlib,
near the Turkish border, to rival the ISIS
capital of Raqqa.
In the fall of Idlib, said Bashar Assad,
“the main factor was the huge support that
came through Turkey; logistic support, and
military support, and of course financial support that came through Saudi Arabia and
Qatar.”
Why would Turks, Saudis and Qataris
collude with Sunni jihadists?
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
detests Assad. The Saudis and Gulf Arabs
are terrified of Shiite Iran and see any ally
of Tehran, such as Assad, as their mortal
enemy.
This also explains the seven weeks of
savage Saudi bombing of the Houthi rebels,
who dumped over a U.S.-Saudi puppet in the
Yemeni capital Sanaa, then seized the second and third cities of Taiz and Aden.
But while the Houthis bear no love for
us, they have been fighting al-Qaida in the
Arabian Peninsula. Thus, the Saudi bombing
has given AQAP, the most dangerous terrorist foe we face, freedom to create sanctuaries
and liberate hundreds of fellow terrorists
from prison.
The Israelis seem to be in on the game
as well. While they have taken in rebels
wounded on the Golan Heights and returned
them to their units, there are reports of Israel
aiding the Nusra Front with intelligence and
even air strikes.
This week, an Israeli official bluntly
warned that Hezbollah has amassed 100,000
short-range rockets capable of striking
northern Israel, thousands of which could hit
Tel Aviv. The rockets are said to be hidden
in Shiite villages in southern Lebanon.
Israel is preparing, writes The New York
Times’ Isabel Kershner, “for what it sees as
an almost inevitable next battle with
Hezbollah.”
As Hezbollah has been the most effective fighting ally of Assad, an Israeli war on
Hezbollah could help bring Assad down.
But, again, who rises if Assad falls? And
who else, besides Christians and Alawites,
starts digging their graves?
As one might expect, Sen. Lindsey
Graham is all in. Late in April, he declared,
“Assad has to go. ... We’re going to have to
send some of our soldiers back into the
Middle East.”
Graham is willing to commit 10,000 U.S.
ground troops.
“I would integrate our forces within a
regional army. There is no other way to
defend this nation than some of us being on
the ground over there doing the fighting.”
Wednesday, The Washington Post laid
out the game plan for war on Syria. While
we cannot create a NATO with kings, emirs,
sheiks, and sultans, says the Post,
“[T]here is a way that Mr. Obama could
serve both the U.S. interests and those of the
Gulf allies: by attacking the Middle East’s
most toxic, and destabilizing force, the
Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria. Syria’s dictatorship is Iran’s closest ally in the region,
and its barbarity opened the way for the rise
of the Islamic State. Recently, it has suffered
battlefield reverses, in part because of
increased Gulf aid to rebel forces.
“If Mr. Obama were to ... create safe
zones in northern and southern Syria for the
rebels, the balance could be tipped against
Damascus and Tehran — and U.S. allies
would have tangible reason to recommit to
U.S. leadership.”
Consider what is being recommended
here.
The Post wants Obama to bomb a Syrian
nation that has not attacked us, without congressional authorization — to aid rebels
whose most effective fighters are al-Qaida
and ISIS terrorists.
And we’re to fight this war — to nullify
ultra-rich but unhappy Gulf Arabs?
Obama must also “do more about
Iranian aggression,” says the Post.
But against whom is Iran committing
aggression?
In Syria, Iran is backing a regime we
recognized until a few years ago, that is
under attack by terrorist rebels we detest. In
Iraq, Iran is backing the government we support, against ISIS rebels we detest.
Bottom line: A U.S. attack on Syria is
being pushed by the War Party to propel us
into a confrontation with Iran, and thereby
torpedo any U.S. nuclear deal with Iran.
Cui bono? For whose benefit?
Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of the
new book “The Greatest Comeback: How
Richard Nixon Rose From Defeat to Create
the New Majority.”
Wisconsin GOP peeping into
welfare recipients’ grocery bags
Republicans may like to rail against big
government. But here in Wisconsin —
where conservative lawmakers just introduced a bill to dramatically restrict what
people can buy with their own food stamps
— Republicans want to cook up a new
kind of nanny state.
This isn’t a new idea altogether.
Recipients of the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
already can’t buy prepared foods or booze
with their benefits. More recently, some
conservative politicians and policy wonks
have suggested restricting food stamp
recipients from using government aid to
buy soda or junk food.
But now, Wisconsin Republicans want
to bar people from using their food stamps
to buy shrimp, lobster, and other shellfish,
and require them to use at least two-thirds
of their SNAP benefits on items found on
a specific and arbitrary list of products.
If the bill were to pass, bulk dry beans
— a very affordable and nutritious choice
— would be out, but canned beans would
be in. That is, unless they’re green beans,
in which case they’re off limits. Fruit juice
is allowed, as long as it’s not organic.
Canned tomatoes are in, but spaghetti
sauce is out.
The Food Research and Action Center
says the proposal would create a “grocery
nanny state.”
As a former food stamp recipient
myself, I can’t even imagine what a trip to
the grocery store would be like — or how
humiliating it would be to check out and
discover that half of my purchases weren’t
allowed. Imagine holding up an entire line
of shoppers as a clerk goes through your
groceries, sorting them into “yes” and “no”
piles.
And with only $70 to feed an adult
woman for a month, how much lobster do
the Republicans think I would’ve been
buying anyway?
Like the rest of our fraying social safety
net, food stamps are intended to help
Americans out when we’re down on our
luck. To qualify, you have to be incredibly
Who had the worst week in DC?
This past week, likely GOP presidential contender Jeb Bush swung and
missed on the question of whether he
would have authorized the use of force
against Iraq in 2003, knowing what we
know now.
Then he swung and missed again.
And again.
It started Monday, when Bush told Fox
News’s Megyn Kelly that he definitely
would have approved the war. “So
would’ve Hillary Clinton,” he said. And
“almost everybody who was confronted
with the intelligence they got.”
The problem? He misheard the question. Kelly didn’t ask what he would have
done then. She asked what his decision
would be “knowing what we know now.”
Of course, these things happen. So
Bush called into conservative radio host
Sean Hannity’s show Tuesday to clarify
his position on the deeply unpopular war.
Except, not. “I don’t know what that
decision would have been, that’s a hypothetical,” Bush said when asked the

poor — so poor that nobody would be
tempted to avoid work to obtain public
assistance.
My $70 per month for food was definitely helpful. But when I was that poor, I
had a hard time paying for gas, rent, utilities, and everything else in my life. I was
eager to earn more money and get off food
stamps — and I did after a few months.
If you want to see what an average food
stamp recipient looks like, look in the mirror. Anyone can fall on hard times. Every
single person I’ve met who’s fallen that
low has worked their tails off to get back
on their feet.
Being poor is stressful enough without
being kicked while you’re down. The last
thing food stamp recipients need is a handful of rich politicians telling them what
they can and can’t eat.

GUEST COMMENTARY
“knowing what we know now” question.
Okay, okay. Everybody misses a hanging curveball once in a while. So, on
Wednesday, Bush surely took care of
business on the question, right? Nope!
“Going back in time and talking about
hypothetical, ‘what would have happened, what could have happened,’ I
think does a disservice” to the men and
women who served in Iraq, Bush said at a
Nevada town hall.
Finally, on Thursday, in Tempe, Ariz.,
Bush found the right answer. “If we’re all
supposed to answer hypothetical questions: Knowing what we now know, what
would you have done? I would not have
engaged. I would not have gone into
Iraq.”
Good! That only took four days and
four different answers.

OBITUARIES/REGION
Leading Israeli settler
figure Levinger, 80
HEBRON, West Bank
(AP) — Rabbi Moshe
Levinger, a leading figure in
Israel's settler movement,
was laid to rest Sunday in the
West Bank city of Hebron,
where he helped establish a
controversial Jewish community after Israel captured the
territory from Jordan in the
1967 Mideast war.
Thousands attended his
funeral outside Hebron's
holiest site, known to Jews as
the Tomb of the Patriarchs
and to Muslims as the
Ibrahimi Mosque. Relatives
said Levinger died Saturday
after an illness.
Levinger led the first settlers to Hebron, where Jews
lived for centuries until
dozens were massacred in
Arab riots in 1929. Tensions
still run high in Hebron,
where about 800 settlers now
live in heavily guarded areas
amid 180,000 Palestinians.
The rabbi left Jerusalem
on Passover eve in 1968
along with several dozen followers and checked into the
Park Hotel posing as Swiss
tourists. The next day,
Levinger declared their true
identity and announced their
intention to re-establish
Hebron's Jewish community.
Levinger was charged
with assault on several occasions. In 1990, he served 3
months of a five-month term
for killing an Arab shopkeeper after he was attacked by a
crowd of Palestinians throwing rocks.
Levinger was seen as a
pioneering leader of the
movement to build settlements in areas that Israel
captured in 1967, which have
deep religious and historical
significance for many devout
Jews.
Elisabeth Bing, pioneer
of Lamaze births, 100
NEW YORK (AP) —
When Elisabeth Bing became
interested in childbirth techniques in the 1950s, women
were often heavily medicated, dads were generally
nowhere near the delivery
room and expectant parents
had far less information than
many do today.
Bing, the Lamaze
International co-founder who
popularized what was known
as natural childbirth and
helped change how women
and doctors approached the
delivery room, died Friday at
100 in her New York apartment, the organization said
Saturday. The cause of her
death wasn’t immediately
known.
Trained as a physical therapist, Bing taught breathing
and relaxation techniques to
generations of expectant
mothers, wrote several books
about birth and pregnancy
and encouraged women —
and men — to be more prepared, active and inquisitive
participants in the arrival of
their babies.
“I was certainly considered a radical,” she wrote in
Lamaze’s magazine in 1990.
By then, she noted, childbirth
education had become common: “This so-called fad has
been proven not to be a fad.”
Born July 8, 1914, in
Berlin, Bing fled Nazi
Germany with her family for
England, where she got her
physical therapy training.
Working with new mothers
got her thinking about delivery practices, an interest she
brought with her to the
United States in 1949.
She learned about ideas
advanced by some doctors,
including French obstetrician
Dr. Fernand Lamaze, for
using breathing and mental
preparation to manage labor
pain without medication. She
and the late Marjorie Karmel
established what is now
Lamaze International in 1960

“Life is full of successes
and disappointments. When
we are young we tend to
"cry” when the material
things we want don't immediately come our way.
Forget the disappointments
and concentrate on your
successes. Nobody will
hand you what you think
you deserve. (Only) hard
work, dedication to your
craft and sensitivity to the
feelings of others will bring
the rewards to you that are
truly deserved.”

“As an old saying goes
... ‘One Man's Junk is
Another Man's Treasure’
continues to hold true with
the test of time. One of my

following inspirational
verse (though the author is
unknown): ‘Life is not
measured by the number of
breaths we take, but by the
number of moments that
take our breath away.’

Police arrest man
accused of threats
against Obama
MANSFIELD, Mass. (AP)
— A Massachusetts man has
been arrested by police and
the U.S Secret Service after
they said he made death
threats against President
Barack Obama.
Mansfield police and
Secret Service agents Friday
went to the West Village
apartments on West Street to
speak with the man who they
say made threats to kill the
president.
He refused to cooperate
and would not leave his
apartment.
A SWAT team and negotiator were brought in and the
man eventually left his apartment and was taken into custody.
Police say a search of his
apartment did not find anything that appeared to be a
public safety hazard. The
man was taken to the hospital
to be evaluated.
URI establishes fund
with bequest from
late professor
S. KINGSTOWN (AP) —
The University of Rhode
Island has established a fund
to support students in its
Graduate School of
Oceanography thanks to an
endowment from a late professor. The school says the
Napora Fund for Biological
Oceanography was created
with a $255,000 bequest
from former professor emeritus Theodore Napora.
The South Kingston resident died in February 2014.
The university says it recently received his bequest. The
fund will support research
and activities of students in
the graduate program.
School officials say
Napora was instrumental in
developing the program.
East Coast shark now a Twitter star
BOSTON (AP) — They're gonna need a
bigger Twitter.
An organization studying great white
sharks is enjoying some welcome attention
after one of the creatures they've been monitoring started gaining a loyal social media
following. @MaryLeeShark is the fake
Twitter handle for a very real, nearly 3,500pound great white whose movements can be
tracked online and in real time.
She's drawn over 44,000 followers with
playful updates and witty replies as real life
shark cruises up and down the East Coast.
"Oh heyyyyy.... you're right by my house,
come by for a nightcap?" invited one recent
Twitter commenter as she popped up off the
coast of Long Island, New York.
"I would settle for an ice bag to put on my
aching Twitter fin. -:()" Mary Lee replied.
"What do you do during Shark Week?"
another recent commenter asked. "Swim. Eat.
Tweet. Etc. Exhausting. -;()," Mary Lee
responded.
The shark, which was tagged off the coast
of Cape Cod, is among hundreds of sharks
that OCEARCH, a Utah-based organization,
has tagged and tracked since 2007.
The fake Twitter handle isn't affiliated
with OCEARCH. But OCEARCH expedition
leader Chris Fischer, who named Mary Lee
after his mother, says the organization appreciates the attention the maritime missives
have generated.
"They're really clever, they really like
sharks and they're on mission, so we're just
kind of rolling with it," he said from the orga-
nization's latest expedition in Australia.
OCEARCH has even jumped on the bandwagon, launching "official" Twitter handles
for two other sharks it's monitoring off the
East Coast. @Shark_Katharine and
@RockStarLydia both have sizable followings of their own. The person behind the
@MaryLeeShark account did surface when
The Associated Press sent a Twitter message.
The account's operator identified themselves only as a daily newspaper reporter living on the East Coast and expressed pleasant
surprise at the attention — and OCEARCH's
support.
"The recent explosion of followers has
been a lot of fun, but also like a second job. I
do everything manually - no robo tweets," the
account owner wrote. "The best part is that
(@MaryLeeShark) plays a role in helping to
replace fear with facts by retweeting and
commenting on @OCEARCH tweets. I (try)
to be respectful of the important work
OCEARCH does and have fun at the same
time."
OCEARCH's multi-year project uses GPS
trackers affixed to the shark's dorsal fin to
post real time data on dozens of great whites
across the globe — Mary Lee was hanging
out near Ocean City, Maryland on Sunday,
for example — with the goal of better understanding the shark's life cycle and encouraging conservation of the endangered ocean
predators.
Shark researchers say the work is important because there's still a lot unknown about
the behavior of mature white sharks.

AMUSEMENTS
THE TIMES A7
Not everyone’s on the guest
list for sister’s big wedding
DEAR ABBY:
My only sister, “Carolyn,”
is getting married in two
months. I’m ecstatic for her.
She and her girlfriend turned
50 this year, and this is the
happiest I have ever seen her.
They are perfect together.
Carolyn asked me to be her
maid of honor and I gladly
accepted. I am also decorating
for her small wedding and
reception.
When I received my wedding invitation last week, I was
shocked and saddened. It was
addressed to me and my kids
only. My significant other,
“Greg” (the kids’ father), and
I were married for 22 years
and divorced three years ago.
We have had some tough
times but did reconcile. Even
though we are divorced, we
stayed together and never split
households.
I have no idea how to tell
Greg. I asked Carolyn if
excluding Greg had been an
oversight, and she said she
would just prefer that he not
be there. I can respect that,
and I don't want to cause any
drama or take anything away
from her day.
Does this seem appropriate?
My feelings are hurt, and I
could have used Greg’s help
with things. How do I tell him
he's not invited?
— IN A WEDDING
QUANDARY
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
DEAR QUANDARY: Tell
Greg the same way you told
me. And after you do, don’t be
surprised that the relationship
Greg has with Carolyn and
her wife will be more distant
than it has been.
It's possible that when you
and Greg divorced, she developed a dislike for him that didn't abate after you reconciled,
and it's sad that she chose this
occasion to display it.
Personally, I think her choice
is one she’ll regret in the
future, but neither you nor I
can change it.
DEAR MULTI-TASKER:
If you arrive home with low
energy, put on some walking
shoes and go for a walk/jog or
do some other form of exercise. When you return home,
your mind will be alert. Then,
have a piece of fruit with some
cheese or a boiled egg. This
should hold you until dinner.
Water is healthy, and you
should be able to drink it in
unlimited amounts.
After you have had your
snack, get your homework out
of the way. If you do, there
should be an hour or so in the
DEAR ABBY:
I’m a high school student,
but it's not easy for me.
Studying is hard at home
because I just want to goof off
after a long day at school. My
grades are OK, but I'm wor-
Horoscope
A - Cox B - Uxbridge, Millville Comcast
C - Blackstone, Franklin Comcast D - Bellingham Comcast
By HOLIDAY MATHIS
TAURUS (April 20-May
20). Your ambition is to leave
the world a better place than it
was before you got here, and
you're doing quite a job of that
these days. It's the small ways
that matter most.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Your loving friends will advertise your business, praise your
character and generally support
what you do — as long as you
ask them to. Don't be afraid to
request some help!
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
The question is: How are you
going to get perspective on the
situation? It's not always easy
to rise above things. A funny
friend will help. Call up the
funniest person you know.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Lifting the gloom for another
person is the fastest way to banish your own. Furthermore, if
you're having trouble connecting with a loved one, sharing in
acts of charity will be bonding.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You'll be in charge again. To be
the kind leader, don't tell them
how you want them to do it.
Just tell them that you want
them to do it. Then sit back and
watch all the surprises unfold.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Everything may seem to ride on
one instant. It doesn't. It rides
on a thousand prior instants
and a thousand instants after.
So shake off the pressure of the
moment and start building up
your practice "instants."
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Asking questions won't
help unless those questions are
very good. Being smart won't
be enough. Keep learning until
you're not only smart, but also
wise.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). People will surprise
you with their ingenuity. You
will surprise them with even
more and different ideas.
Together you can create something that will help not only
you, but also the generations to
come.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Saying what you want to
say and then feeling bad about
it is a pattern you'd like to stop.
And yet, there's such a release
that comes with saying what
you want to say. Maybe you
should just drop the part about
feeling bad.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Stay relaxed. Be flexible.
When you feel yourself getting
tense, take the broad view.
When you are comfortable with
yourself, you'll never be alone.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). What's absolutely necessary can seem altogether impossible. How are you going to pull
this one off? It starts with one
phone call and leads to another.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
In some ways, it feels like
you're still discovering who you
are and what you do. You'll get
a feeling in your gut that you're
ready for more, and you're
pointed in the right direction,
too.
ried that if this continues they
will slip.
Then there’s my eating
habits and fitness. My school
lunch period starts late in the
day, so it’s hard to stay satisfied from breakfast. When I
get home, I’m still hungry and
eat whatever's around, not usually healthy. And sitting all day
at school doesn’t help my fitness. Recently, I decided to
have only a cup of water or
soda until dinner, but I’m not
sure that’s healthy. Exercising
at home doesn’t happen
because I’m either goofing off
or doing homework.
Finally, there’s my sleep
habits. I go to bed at 8 or 9,
but I have to wake up at 5 the
next morning. How can I have
good grades, be fit and be rested while having fun, too?

Amtrak to restore full Northeast Corridor service today
PHILADELPHIA (AP)
— Amtrak's Northeast
Corridor trains will resume
service Monday in "complete compliance" with federal safety orders following
last week's deadly derailment, officials announced
Sunday.
Company president
Joseph Boardman said
Amtrak staff and crew have
been working "around the
clock" to restore service
along the route between
Washington and Boston following Tuesday night's crash
that killed eight people and
injured more than 200 others.
"Our infrastructure
repairs have been made with
the utmost care and emphasis on infrastructure integrity
including complete compliance with Federal Railroad
Administration directives,"
Boardman said in a statement Sunday.
Federal regulators on
Saturday ordered Amtrak to
expand use of a speed-control system long in effect for
southbound trains near the
crash site to northbound
trains in the same area. The
agency also ordered the
company to examine all
curves along the Northeast

Corridor and determine if
more can be done to
improve safety, and to
increase speed limit signs
along the route.
Service along the corridor
will resume with departures
from New York City at 5:30
a.m. Monday and
Philadelphia at 5:53 a.m.
Monday, and all Acela
Express, Northeast Regional
and other services will
resume for the first time
since the accident, the company said.
Investigators with the
National Transportation
Safety Board, meanwhile,
have focused on the acceleration of the train as it
approached the curve, finally
reaching 106 mph as it
entered the 50-mph stretch
north of central Philadelphia,
and only managing to slow
down slightly before the
crash.
"The only way that an
operable train can accelerate
would be if the engineer
pushed the throttle forward.
And ... the event recorder
does record throttle movement. We will be looking at
that to see if that corresponds to the increase in the
speed of the train," board
member Robert Sumwalt
told CNN's "State of the
Union."
The Amtrak engineer,
who was among those
injured in the crash, has told
authorities that he does not
recall anything in the few
minutes before it happened.
Investigators have also
been looking into reports
that the windshield of the
train may have been struck
by some sort of object, but
Sumwalt said on CBS's
"Face the Nation" program
on Sunday that he wanted to
"downplay" the idea that
damage to the windshield
might have come from
someone firing a shot at the
train.
"I've seen the fracture
pattern; it looks like something about the size of a
grapefruit, if you will, and it
did not even penetrate the
entire windshield," Sumwalt
said.
Officials said an assistant
conductor on the derailed
train said she heard the
Amtrak engineer talking
with a regional train engineer and both said their
trains had been hit by
objects. But Sumwalt said
the regional train engineer
recalls no such conversation,
and investigators had listened to the dispatch tape
and heard no communications from the Amtrak engineer to the dispatch center to
say that something had
struck the train.
Storm system pushes east after drenching Plains
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A powerful
storm system stretched from Texas to
Minnesota on Sunday, bringing heavy rains,
flash flooding and the possibility of more
severe weather.
Scattered severe storms developed
Sunday afternoon and evening in eastern
Minnesota, western Wisconsin and parts of
Missouri, Illinois and Arkansas.
Rain-soaked Texas saw flash flood warnings, high-water rescues and motorists
stranded on roads overwhelmed by torrential
rains. A river in northwest Oklahoma threatened to top its banks and affected crops, oil
wells and rural roads, while 2 to 3 inches of
rain fell in three hours in parts of Arkansas,
prompting a flash flood warning.
"We've gotten a lot of rain in a short
time," Oklahoma Department of Emergency
Management spokeswoman Keli Cain said.
"The ground is saturated, so every time we
get another big soaking, the rain causes more
flash flooding."
The storm system is the result of a cold
front extending from the north central Plains
into the southern Plains that pushed up
behind warm, moist air, according to Bill
Bunting, chief of operations for the National
Weather Service Storm Prediction Center in
Norman, Oklahoma.
"It's a very strong upper level disturbance," Bunting said, noting it stretched at
one point nearly to the U.S. border with
Mexico. "It's as extensive an area as we've
seen this year."
The Dallas-Fort Worth area received
between 3 to 5 inches of rain overnight,
according to National Weather Service senior
meteorologist Eric Martello, and total rainfall is running about 5 inches above normal
for this time of year. In Johnson County,
which WFAA reported received 5 to 8 inches
of rain overnight, people had to be rescued
from their homes. San Antonio and Austin
also saw flooding Sunday.
The National Weather Service said tornadoes touched down near Elmer and Tipton in
southwest Oklahoma on Sunday, with state
emergency officials say the most significant
damage was to homes, businesses and power
lines. One also touched down Saturday east
of Kansas City, Missouri.
A storm in Lyon County, Kansas, was
strong enough to push railcars off the tracks
on Saturday, and the National Weather
Service said a tornado. Trees, farm buildings
and empty railcars were toppled in central
Iowa early Sunday morning.

Mounties, Wizards take field in fight against ALS
Third annual fundraiser game honors
memories of coaches’ loved ones
By JON BAKER
[email protected]
WEST WARWICK –
Mount St. Charles head coach
Tom Seaver readily admitted
his mind at times drifted to
more important issues while
facing West Warwick High in
a non-league affair at
McCarthy Field on Saturday
night.
For the third consecutive
year, Seaver and Wizards’
coach Rich Grenier had
assembled the contest to raise
money and awareness in the
fight against Amyotrophic
Lateral Sclerosis, or ALS.
Seaver lost his brother,
Paul, to Lou Gehrig’s Disease
on Feb. 5, 2013, at the tender
age of 52. The wife of
Grenier’s long-time assistant,
John Mottola, died of ALS
last July 5.
“ALS is a degenerative
disease that slowly shuts
down a human’s upper- and
lower-body’s motor neurons,
and it remains one of the
most debilitating and devastating illnesses one can suffer,” Grenier said. “We couldn’t be more proud to host this
game.”
The Mounties captured the
game, 8-3, but that was trivial
compared to the ultimate goal
–Grenier announced afterward that the fans had raised
well over $300 and Seaver
flashed him a thumbs-up
from across the diamond.
“This game was all about
the meaning of the lives of
Lori Mottola and Paul
‘Wally’ Seaver, my brother,”
Seaver said somberly. “ALS
was and is utmost in our
minds and hearts.
Secondarily, we wanted to
play a good game, and I
thought we did.”

COVENTRY — Saturday
was supposed to be a rest day
for Coventry pitcher Sophia
Gervasio after the senior struggled to throw strikes in her last
two starts.
But after Cumberland’s first
four hitters of the game produced hits against junior starter
Maxine Colvin, Gervasio was
forced into action.
The senior only allowed
three runs and didn’t walk a
batter until the seventh inning,
while Coventry’s potent
offense went to work overcoming a five-running deficit.
Alyssa Derrick, Brooke
Keresztessy and Carly Furtado
all scored a pair of runs, while
freshman Jess DaBreo drove in
two runs and scored a run in an
8-6 Division I crossover victory.“
“I think I pitched very well
compared to the way I was
pitching,” Gervasio said.

PAWTUCKET – To date the PawSox have
been the recipients of pretty good pitching and
consistent defense.
The third component, however, has been
missing for the vast majority of the season.
It was another day of struggles with the bats
on Sunday as Pawtucket managed just six base
hits in a lackluster 4-1 loss to Columbus, who
won the last three games of the four-game set.
The lone run the PawSox managed came on a
solo home run by newcomer Luis Jimenez.
The round tripper was the 102nd of
Jimenez’ nine-year minor-league career. The
PawSox are the third team that the 27-year-old
has suited up for this season. He was on
Milwaukee’s opening day roster before getting
designated for assignment and claimed by the
Red Sox. Jimenez appeared in one game for
Boston before being outrighted to Pawtucket
last Friday after clearing waivers.
PawSox manager Kevin Boles plans to play
Jimenez mainly at third base with the DH spot
also a possibility. Jimenez was a victim of a

Clippers
Continued from page B1
“My mentality was completely different and on Friday [Coventry coach
Chris Daigneault] gave me a nice, little pep talk and he told me I needed
to focus because I was out of it.”
“I wouldn’t expect us to get 10runned because we can come back
and hit, but I don’t know what happened early in the game,” Daigneault
said. “Max went out there and they
hit her and they are good hitters. I’m
really proud of Soph because she
went in there, shut them down and
gave up one run the rest of the way.”
Cumberland (7-6 Division I-North)
has now lost back-to-back close
games to two of the elite teams in the
state. The Clippers dropped a 2-1
decision Friday to I-North leading
Tolman, while Kat Calabro’s two
RBIs and a run scored weren’t
enough for the Clippers to take down
the Oakers.
Coventry (10-3 Division I-South)
is in prime position to be the No. 4
seed. The Oakers sit one game in the
loss column ahead of Smithfield for
fourth and the Oakers own the
tiebreaker thanks to an early-season
victory over last season’s beaten
finalist.
“It is ridiculous what we’re doing
right now because we were down 5nothing in this game and the other
day we were down 5-3 to Mount,”
Daigneault said. “We have to try and
find a way to stay up. Unless a mira-
cle happens, fourth is the best we’re
going to do and this was one of the
teams that was chasing us.”
The turning point in the game
came in the bottom of the fifth inning
when freshman lefty Jocelyn
Boddington replaced Sydney
Provencal in the circle. Boddington,
who has been superb this season,
gave up a single to junior Kaitlin
Mattera and then walked Derrick,
Keresztessy and Furtado before coach
Marty Crowley reentered the sophomore.
DaBreo cut the deficit to just one
when she walked to score Derrick and
the Oakers took their first lead of the
contest when Marisa Fascio hit a tworun single down the left-field line.
Lauren Giampietro extended the lead
with a sacrifice fly to plate DaBreo.
“That inning got us back in the
game,” Daigneault said. “We did get
four walks, but we also had some hits
in that inning. We have a lot of
patience at the plate, but when Jess
came up I told her to hammer the first
pitch she saw, but she hit it foul.”
Gervasio, who hadn’t thrown
seven innings in game this month,
had no trouble setting down the
Clippers in the sixth after she was
handed the two-run lead. The seventh
proved to be different because No. 9
hitter Kailey Brodeur singled. Sam
Jalbert delivered her second hit of the
game and the bases were loaded with
two outs when Provencal walked.
Gervasio then forced catcher Emily
Anderson to fly out to Giampietro to
finish the contest.
“I needed some confidence and I
needed it really bad,” Gervasio said.
“Now, I’ve got it. I think I’m good
now. I knew we could come back
because I knew we had the bats to
score some runs.”
Coventry needed to come back
because the Clippers were simply
rampant in the opening inning. Leadoff hitter Taylor Fay, who scored
twice, started the game with a single.
Jalbert, Madison Leite and Provencal
all singled before Colvin was
replaced by Gervasio.
Calabro and Katie Kent both delivered two-run singles to put the
Clippers up 5-0 before the Oakers had
an at-bat against Provencal.
“To be honest, I was scared when I
came in the game because I thought
Max was going to do great,” Gervasio
said. “I was ready to just support her,
but you know what happened.”
Derrick tripled and scored in the
first, but Coventry’s comeback didn’t
begin in earnest until the fourth when
DaBreo scored Keresztessy with a
sacrifice fly and Fascio singled in
Furtado. Fay scored a run in the top
of the fifth, but the Oakers countered
with five in their half of the inning to
win for the seventh time in the last
eight games.

three hits, struck out nine and did not
issue a walk as Saint Raphael Academy

the first round of Eastern Division play
tied for first place with a 5-2 record. In
the sixth frame, Chick Vaslet led off with
a triple, Tom Grasso followed immediately with a similar three-base blow and
then with two out Ron Inzer, SRA’s big

Aguilar hit a bouncer that deflected
off the third-base bag and into left

“Like the (offensive) approach

athletic over there,” said Boles
about Jimenez. “You at his numbers
and his history and there’s some
impact in his bat. He showed it
(Sunday) and we’re very excited to
have him here.”
The addition of Jimenez can help

“It’s not about luck. It’s about
‘we need to do a better job, plain

that we’re capable more with our
offensive approach. The guys, they
give their best every day, but we’re
going to need to make sure we stay
focused on what we’re doing and
get a little more consistent.”
Rusney Castillo made his sixth

Seaver’s younger brother
Paul (a 1977 Milford High
grad) served as the head varsity basketball coach for
Franklin High, JV coach at
Wellesley High and as the
coach of the Metrowest travel hoop program.
As for Lori, who graduated from West Warwick in
1975, she was an avid fan of
her husband’s baseball teams
and adored watching her son
David play ball for the
town’s Cal Ripken and Babe
Ruth league squads, not to
mention the Wizards’ freshman state championship
team.
“With Paul’s passing and
Lori having been diagnosed,
we created a partnership
three years ago to play it;
we’re just trying to make the
public more aware of the disease, and that it can affect
anybody at any time,” Seaver
said. “It was a big story with
the ‘Ice Bucket Challenge,’
where politicians, sports
teams owners and pro and
collegiate athletes have ice
water poured on them.
“This was all about honoring and memorializing Lori
and Paul.”
Coaches and players all
wore the No. 4 on their jerseys in honor of Gehrig, the
New York Yankee great.
They also chose to send to
the plate all 15 of their players; that way, all could play a
role.
With 100 fans in attendance, Grenier announced:
“There are a lot of people
who don’t like talking about
ALS, but we don’t mind at
West Warwick and Mount St.
Charles because people from
both schools have been

or talk to Tom Seaver about
his brother, you can see the
emotion in his eyes, you can
hear it in his voice.
“You can say the same
thing about John Mottola and
his son David,” he continued.
“Did you know May is ALS
Awareness Month? Nobody
knows that. We may not
think about it getting better,
but it is; we’re taking baby
steps, and hopefully, they’ll
turn into bigger steps toward
finding a cure.”
As for the game itself,
senior captain Justin
D’Abrosca paced the offense,
going 2-for-2 with a triple
and four RBI.
Other crucial plate contributions came from classmates and fellow captains
Tate Laquerre (2-for-3, stolen

situated in the No. 2 spot in
Pawtucket’s lineup.
To Boles, Castillo can be placed
anywhere among the first three
spots in the batting order.
“I think there’s some variety that
can be obtained there. He can do a
little bit of everything. He can run,
he’s an impact bat and is another
guy who can play the short game,”
said Boles. “It depends on what we

pitchers, including senior
lefty Andrew Uttermann, and
righties Abruzzi, Valentine,
Rudek and sophomore Alex
Hale, who closed. The fivesome combined to yield just
six hits and four walks while
striking out six.
Abruzzi landed the win
after yielding a hit and a
walk with a strikeout in the
third. Junior Matt Hopper
took the loss, as he surrendered four hits, two runs (one
earned) and two walks in the
third and fourth innings.
After scoring twice in the
second to grab a 3-1 lead,
Mount gained complete control with a four-run fifth
inning, but the flurry started
so innocently. The leadoff
Valentine reached on an
infield error, moved to second on a wild pitch and third
on a passed ball before
reliever Ray Zincone manufactured two quick outs.
Laquerre’s hit to left plated Valentine, and Sanchioni
beat out a Baltimore-chop to
second. Zincone then struck
senior captain Mike Dixon
with a pitch to load the bases,
and D’Abrosca crushed a
bases-clearing triple to the
right-center gap.
“It was a fastball up, and I
just went with it,” D’Abrosca
said. “Coming off the bat, it
felt good, and I saw it was
going to the gap, so I just
shot out of the box. I kind of
how it fits.”
Castillo finished 1-for-4 with two
strikeouts and two stolen bases. His
single came on a 1-2 pitch in the
first inning.
An overtaxed Pawtucket bullpen
received a much-needed fresh arm
Sunday as lefty reliever Robby
Scott was summoned from DoubleA Portland. Not surprisingly, Boles
had a feeling I could go for
three (bases). I was just glad
we got more runs in.”
West Warwick answered
with a pair in the fifth to slice
the deficit to 7-3. With one
out, Tom Doran laced a badhop single into left, and –
after Rudek had fanned Mike
Pellerin – Brogan Guilmette
walked. Ernie Wright then
knocked a grounder to third,
the throw airmailed to first,
and that allowed Doran to
scamper home and Guilmette
to third.
The latter scored on a wild
pitch.
The Mounties tacked on
another in the seventh when
Abruzzi reached on an infield
hit, took second on
Valentine’s single to right,
tagged to third on John
Montani’s fly to center and
scored on Lataille’s infield
roller.
The visitors had snared a
1-0 lead in the second when
Cannata drew a one-out
walk off of Tyler Boisclair,
moved to second on a wild
pitch and scored on Rudek’s
ground single to center. The
Mounties later loaded the
bases, but squandered the
opportunity when Lataille
struck out.
West Warwick tied it in
the back half after Charlie
Tashjian singled, took third
on Hopper’s two-out hit to
left and scored on a throwing miscue.
The Mounties immediately responded with a pair in
the top of the third. Laquerre
blooped a single to right,
then robbed second before
Sanchioni sprinted to first on
an infield grounder.
Laquerre raced in on an
ensuing error, and
D’Abrosca’s single to left
pushed Sanchioni across.
MSC didn’t need long to
ice it, though it was easy to
tell Seaver was thinking
about his beloved Paul.
“He was the best coach I
ever knew, and also the best
brother anyone could ever
have,” he said. “He had a
passion for life, and for
turned to Scott after Keith Couch
was removed from the game. Couch
battled through command issues
early on – he missed the strike zone
on six straight pitches in the first
inning and repeated the same in the
second – but was able to turn in five
innings of one-run ball.
Scott pitched a scoreless sixth
and eighth innings as part of a
three-inning stint. It was the seventh
where he ran into trouble as tworun home run by Jerry Sands highlighted a three-run uprising by the
Clippers. Scott stuck out two and
walked one as part of his 45-pitch,
27-strike outing.
“I thought he did an admirable
job,” said Boles about Scott, now in
his third stint this season with
Pawtucket.
The PawSox nearly found themselves caught short in the bullpen
as a result of playing a 13-inning
affair on Friday and 14 more
innings on Saturday. On Friday, it
was Matt Spring warming up in the
bullpen. A night later, it was
Humberto Quintero’s turn to get
loose.
With Quintero in the lineup
Sunday, Boles joked that it would
revert back to Spring in the event
that the PawSox and Clippers
engaged in yet another lengthy tussle.
Apparently the infield shift is
not just limited to the major-league
level.
A recent visit by Indianapolis
saw the PawSox adjust their infield
defense whenever left-hander
Hunter Morris was in the box. In a
scene reminiscent of whenever
David Ortiz is up, Pawtucket strategically placed three infielders to the
right of the second-base bag.
“We’ve done quite a bit of that.
We’ve done the 3-1 shifts and
you’ll see we’ll make the adjustment with one strike in case there’s
a guy who can bunt. They do it up
at the major-league level and
you’re starting to see it more and
more throughout this league,” said
Boles. “These guys have to be
acclimated to them once they get
called up to the big leagues.”
EXTRA BASES: Getting Scott
on the PawSox roster was possible
after infielder/outfielder Sean
Coyle landed on the disabled list
with left elbow inflammation. …
Pawtucket now heads out for a
seven-game road trip that will first
take the locals to Indianapolis for
four games followed by three in
Louisville. Eduardo Rodriguez (32, 2.86) gets the nod Monday night
followed by Brian Johnson on
Tuesday and Henry Owens on
Wednesday. … Columbus now
owns the best record in the league
(22-15) while the PawSox stand at
21-17.

Seaver interrupted himself to tell his players to set

The skipper bolted and ran

mischievous trio caught up

contents over his shoulders.
“That was Cannata,

STEVE REED
CHARLOTTE, N.C. —
Rory McIlroy was more
methodical than electrifying
Sunday.
It was still effective.
Always in control, the topranked McIlroy became the
first two-time winner in the
Wells Fargo Championship
with a seven-shot victory
over Webb Simpson and
Patrick Rodgers.
McIlory closed with a 3under 69 to finish at 21-under
267, shattering the tournament record by five strokes.
He entered the day with a
four-stroke lead over
Simpson after a course-record
61 on Saturday.
“Everything is firing on all
cylinders for me,” McIlroy
said.
McIlroy also won Match
Play Championship to wo
weeks ago in San Francisco
and has 11 PGA Tour titles.
He has six top-10 finishes in
his last eight PGA Tour starts.
McIlroy also won at Quail
Hollow in in 2010 for his first
PGA Tour title, shooting 15
under. Anthony Kim set the
previous tournament record
of 16 under in 2008.
“The golf course just sets
up really well for me,”
McIlroy said.
Phil Mickelson called
McIlroy’s performance this
week “impressive.”
Rodgers, playing on a
sponsor exemption, was the
only player to mount a serious
challenge, getting within three
shots after a birdie at No. 15.
He played the final two holes
in 3-over and finished with a
68. Simpson shot a 72.
McIlroy got off to a shaky
start with a three-putt bogey
on No. 2 — his first in 167
holes — but quickly pulled it
together. He didn’t have
another bogey until the 17th
hole, when he had built a
seven-stroke lead and outcome was already decided.
Simpson failed to capitalize on McIlroy’s early mistake, shooting 37 on the front
nine that included a double
bogey on the par-3 sixth
when he three-putted from 8
feet. That dropped the
Charlotte resident six shots
back and he was never in
contention again.
“He’s our best player right
now and I wish more than
anything I could have shot a
couple under on the front to
make it more exciting,”
Simpson said. “Just didn’t
have it today.”
McIlroy reached 20 under
on No. 12 when he knocked
his approach shot from 132
yards to 2 feet of the cup for
a tap-in birdie and it looked
as if he might coast the rest
of the way.
But Rodgers, who earned
his first top-25 finish on the
PGA Tour, made it interesting
when he played a seven-hole
stretch in 6-under par,
sparked by an eagle on the
par-5 10th hole. But McIlroy
didn’t flinch when Rodgers
drained a 15-foot putt on No.
15 to pull within three shots
of the lead.
Instead, McIlroy countered
by rolling in a birdie putt on
his own on No. 14, moving to
21 under and regaining a
four-shot cushion.
McIlroy then put an exclamation point on the win by
drilling his approach shot
from 145 yards to 3 feet on
No. 16 for his tournamentrecord 27th birdie.
“I had a goal to go out
there and birdie the par 5s
and the two drivable par 4s
and I knew if I made six
birdies there was pretty much
no chance that anybody could
catch me,” McIlroy said.
“With my length and the way
I’m driving it, it’s a big
advantage around here and it
showed this week.”
Rodgers ran out of gas on
No. 17 when he dunked his
tee shot in the water on the
pesky par-3 17th hole and
took a double bogey to fall
seven shots back. Still, it was
a solid finish for Rodgers,
who earned an automatic
berth in The Colonial next
week by virtue of his top-10
finish.
“It has given me a lot of
confidence moving forward,”
Rodgers said.
Mickelson finished in a
three-way tie for fourth place
at 12 under with Gary
Woodland and Robert Streb.

Yankees limp out of Kansas
City after 6-0 loss to Royals
DAVE SKRETTA
AP Sports Writer
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —
The Bronx Bombers sure
haven’t lived up to their old
moniker lately.
Edinson Volquez baffled
New York with three-hit ball
for seven innings Sunday,
and relievers Wade Davis
and Jason Frasor wiggled out
of jams the final two frames,
preserving the Kansas City
Royals’ 6-0 victory and the
first shutout of the Yankees
this season.
Not that New York’s been
lighting up any scoreboards.
The Yankees have managed just 11 runs over their
last six games, and five of
those came in Saturday
night’s win that ended a season-worst four-game losing
streak.
“We just haven’t swung
the bats well,” said first baseman Mark Teixeira, who
went 0 for 2 on Sunday
before leaving with a bruised
big toe. “It was just a bad
week for us.”
Chris Capuano (0-1) made
his season debut after rehabbing a quad strain that he
sustained in spring training.
The veteran left-hander gave
up four runs on four hits and
two walks, and left New
York in a big hole when he
was pulled four batters into
the third inning.
“It’s certainly not the outing I wanted for my first outing,” Capuano said. “I wanted to try to give the team a
little boost heading into the
off day, but there were a lot
of good things that happened
the first three innings to build
on for next time.”
Meanwhile, Volquez (3-3)
was cruising right along. He
struck out five without issuing a walk, and never
allowed a leadoff man on
base. Just one runner reached
second on him all afternoon.
“He was fantastic. He had
all kinds of movement and
action on his fastball,”
Royals manager Ned Yost
said.

May 18
1920 — Man o’ War, ridden by Clarence

1931 — Fifteen-year-old Eddie Arcaro rides
his first race, finishing sixth, at Bainbridge
Park, Ohio.
1957 — Bold Ruler, ridden by Eddie Arcaro,
wins the Preakness Stakes by two lengths
over Iron Liege. It’s the sixth and last time
Arcaro wins the Preakness.
1968 — Forward Pass wins the Preakness
Stakes by six lengths to give Calumet Farm a
record seven wins in by an owner in the race.
Judy Johnson becomes the first female trainer
to saddle a horse for the Preakness. Her
horse, Sir Beau, finishes seventh in the field
of 10.
1971 — The Montreal Canadiens beat the
Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 in the seventh game
to win the Stanley Cup.

Stakes. Tank’s Prospect wins the race and
Cooksey’s mount, Tajawa, finishes sixth in the
field of 11.
1990 — Edmonton’s Jari Kurri becomes the
leading goal scorer in Stanley Cup history
when he scores his 90th postseason goal in
the first period of Game 2 of the finals against
Boston. Kurri adds two more goals as the
Oilers beat the Bruins 7-2.
1996 — Louis Quatorze carries Pat Day to the
jockey’s third straight Preakness Stakes victory. Louis Quatorze, 16th in the Kentucky

the race record set by Tank’s Prospect in
1985.
1997 — Chris Johnson makes an 8-foot par

2002 — War Emblem, ridden by Victor
Espinoza, holds off fast-closing long shot

Red Sox bats scuffle in
5-0 loss at Mariners
Rockets complete comeback from 3-1
deficit, advance to conference finals
CURTIS CRABTREE
Associated Press
SEATTLE — The Red Sox could not
solve James Paxton, leaving Boston with
a four-game split against the Seattle
Mariners.
Paxton stretched his scoreless streak to
a career-best 20 innings in a 5-0 win
Sunday as Boston finished a 5-5 trip.
“We had some good at-bats,” Dustin
Pedroia said. “We hit the ball hard. We
just didn’t get hits or didn’t put it all
together.”
Paxton (2-2) allowed five hits in eight
innings, struck out two and walked two,
and Carson Smith pitched a perfect ninth.
Steven Wright (1-1), staring in place of
an injured Justin Masterson, gave up just
three runs — two earned — and five hits
in five innings.
Boston put runners in scoring position
just twice. Brad Miller snagged a hard hit
groundball at shortstop from Pedroia to
strand Blake Swihart at third base in the
third inning. Swihart hit an inning-ending
grounder with runners at second and third
in the seventh inning as Paxton worked
out of a jam.
“He threw a lot of strikes, came right
after us with the good fastball,” Red Sox
manager John Farrell said. “We had a
couple opportunities but the two-out hit
wasn’t there.”
Boston batted .201 on the trip and
scored 23 runs.
“We’re not hitting right now,” Hanley
Ramirez said. “We’ve got to start hitting.”
Consecutive singles from Seager and
Logan Morrison put runners on the corners with no outs in the second inning.
Seager scored from third on a passed ball
off Swihart’s mask that went to the backstop, and Mike Zunino hit a two-out RBI
single beyond the outstretched glove of
Pedroia at shortstop.
Miller homered just inside the right
field foul pole in the fifth for a 3-0 lead,
his fourth home run in five games and
third in the last two days.
“It stayed up a little bit more than I
KRISTIE RIEKEN
wanted it to,” Wright said. “... He’s just a
good hitter, kept his hands back and was
able to wrap it around the pole.”
Wright needed to make the start after
Masterson landed on the disabled list
with right shoulder tendonitis on
Thursday. Farrell felt Wright did enough
to keep them in the ball game.
“I thought he threw a number of good
knuckleballs,” Farrell said. “Miller, who
the last couple of days has kind of caught
fire, gets a knuckleball up in the strike
zone for a home run, but five innings,
three runs keeps the game in check and it
didn’t get away from him.”
After Nelson Cruz walked in the
eighth, Seager homered on the first pitch
from Craig Breslow.
PEDROIA ON-BASE
Pedroia extended his on-base streak to
22 consecutive games, the fifth-longest
streak of his career, with a walk in the
first inning. Pedroia is hitting .280 with
seven runs scored, two doubles, a home
run, six RBIs and 14 walks over that
span.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Red Sox: Masterson threw on flat
ground before Sunday’s game. Farrell
said the inflammation in Masterson’s
right shoulder has lessened and he hopes
to get Masterson back on the mound by
midweek for some bullpen sessions
before a rehab assignment.
Mariners: CF Austin Jackson went 2
for 4 for Triple-A Tacoma as he began a
rehab stint Saturday night. Jackson has
been on the disabled list since May 4
with a right ankle sprain. Jackson is
expected to play the field for Tacoma for
the first time on Sunday.
UP NEXT
Red Sox: LHP Wade Miley (2-4, 5.60
ERA) will make his second-career start
against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday.
Miley lost his only decision against Texas
despite allowing one run and three hits in
7 2/3 innings while with Arizona on June
13, 2012.
Mariners: RHP Taijuan Walker (1-4,
7.22 ERA) has held opponents to three
runs or fewer in four of his last five starts.

AP Sports Writer
HOUSTON — The Houston
Rockets are heading to the
Western Conference finals for
the first time in 18 years after
overcoming a 3-1 series deficit
to eliminate the Los Angeles
Clippers.
“It’s the ultimate confidence-booster,” James Harden
said. “There’s only a handful of
teams that’s done that. We
fought back. We fought three
really hard games and came
away with it.”
Harden scored 31 points,
Dwight Howard had 16 points
and 15 rebounds and the
Rockets never trailed in a 113100 victory over the Clippers
on Sunday, sending them to the
conference finals for the first
time since 1997.
It’s the ninth time in NBA
history that a team has overcome a 3-1 series deficit to win
a playoff series.
The Rockets overcame a 19point third-quarter deficit in
Game 6 on Thursday night to
stay alive. No such heroics
were needed Sunday when they
were up by 17 after three and
Howard opened the fourth
quarter with a 3-point play to
push it to 88-68.
“When you’re down 19 on
the road, it’s easy to give in
and just say, ‘Maybe next
year,’” Harden said. “But I
think the injuries throughout
the entire year kind of made us
fight through adversity no matter what. We always find a way
to fight, and another case was
being down 3-1.”
Blake Griffin scored five
points in a 9-0 run to cut the
lead to eight points with less
than 2 1/2 minutes remaining.
Harden made a pair of free
throws after that, but a dunk by
DeAndre Jordan got the
Clippers within eight again.
This time, Trevor Ariza hit a 3
from the corner to secure the
victory.
Howard was nervous until
Ariza hit the final 3 and worried the Clippers might be the
ones to orchestrate an unlikely
comeback this time.
“Please, we can’t let them
pull an us on us,” Howard said
he was thinking during their
late run.
Griffin had 27 points and
Chris Paul had 26 points and
10 assists.
The Western Conference
finals begin Tuesday night at
Golden State.
Ariza finished with 22
points and made six 3-pointers.
Every fan in the arena was
given a red shirt emblazoned
with the words “Clutch City”
in yellow letters, bringing
back the moniker of the 1994
and ‘95 teams that won backto-back titles. These Rockets
lived up to the nickname, winning their third straight game
to become the first team to
win a playoff series after trailing 3-1 since the Phoenix Suns
did it in 2006 against the
Lakers.
After taking a two-game
lead after four games the
Clippers looked destined to be
heading to the conference
finals for the first time in franchise history. But they failed in
all three chances to put
Houston away and are now left
to ponder their collapse as they
head home early yet again.
“It’s disappointing,” Griffin
said. “We were close, but close
doesn’t really count. Almost
doesn’t count. We were up 3-1
and didn’t put them away. We
can’t look at anybody but ourselves.”
Los Angeles never led, but
tied it twice in the first 4 minutes. The Clippers insisted
Saturday that they’d gotten
over Thursday’s loss, but
looked listless early in this one
as Houston built the lead.

Volvo Ocean Race teams depart Newport for 7th leg
NEWPORT (AP) — The six
sailing teams in the Volvo
Ocean Race have departed
Newport heading for Lisbon,
Portugal.
The boats in the around-theworld race set out Sunday
afternoon in light 10-knot
winds for the seventh leg of
the global race. The teams
arrived in Newport over a
week ago from Itajai, Brazil.
The Spanish boat MAPFRE
led the race fleet out of
Newport after winning the inport race Saturday on
Narragansett Bay. Abu Dhabi
Ocean Racing holds a six-point
lead overall ahead of Chinese
boat Dongfeng Race Team.
Newport was the only North
American stopover on this
year's race, which ends in June
in Goteborg, Sweden.
