BUS MONITOR<br />

SUSPENDED<br />

PROVIDENCE (AP) —<br />

Officials in Providence say<br />

they've suspended a school<br />

bus monitor after a 5-year-old<br />

girl was dropped off with no<br />

one waiting for her after the<br />

first day of school and she<br />

roamed <strong>city</strong> streets for more<br />

than an hour.<br />

Antonia Dwyer tells<br />

WJAR-TV her daughter was<br />

supposed to be taken by a van<br />

to day care after attending<br />

Harry Kizirian Elementary<br />

School on Wednesday.<br />

Instead, she got on a bus and<br />

was dropped off alone on a<br />

busy thoroughfare.<br />

CARVER — King Richard’s<br />

Faire will be returning to the area<br />

today. Now in its 32nd season, the<br />

renaissance fair takes place on 80<br />

acres of wooded property at 235<br />

Main St., in this small Massachusetts<br />

community.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Faire features games of<br />

chance and skill, performances, roving<br />

entertainers, music, competitions,<br />

a zoo, and plenty of old-world<br />

food and drinks spread across its<br />

suspended Thursday by the<br />

Board of Medical Licensure<br />

and Discipline.<br />

A “pattern of fatal opiate<br />

overdoses in patients” under<br />

the care of Dr. Fathalla<br />

Mashali prompted the board<br />

to conduct the investigation<br />

that led to his suspension,<br />

according to papers released<br />

by the board.<br />

spacious site. Spit-roasted turkey<br />

legs, buttery ears of corn, boules<br />

filled with chowder and stew,<br />

ringlets of fries, champagne, wine<br />

and brew are some of the more popular<br />

offerings. <strong>The</strong>re are also glutenfree<br />

and vegetarian foods available.<br />

Hundreds of shows and entertainers<br />

will be performing every day at<br />

the Faire with shows ranging from<br />

minstrels and acrobats to jousting<br />

knights and fire-eaters. Rides will<br />

also be available for the younger set<br />

and competitions for adults in the<br />

Gaming Glen. Visitors can watch a<br />

Mashali maintains an<br />

office at 6 Blackstone Valley<br />

Place and has staff privileges<br />

at Landmark Medical Center<br />

in <strong>Woonsocket</strong>. His specialty<br />

is anesthesiology.<br />

Because the deaths<br />

involved painkilling opioid<br />

or other controlled substances,<br />

health officials hired<br />

an outside pain management<br />

physician to review the<br />

records in the deaths of six<br />

patients under Mashali’s<br />

care, referred to as Patients<br />

A through F in the suspension<br />

case, the reviewer said<br />

Mashali had overprescribed<br />

painkilling narcotics to his<br />

patients despite clear indications<br />

that they were abusing<br />

drugs, including cocaine.<br />

One of the most glaring<br />

examples of the Mashali’s<br />

allegedly substandard care<br />

involved Patient A, the<br />

reviewer said. Despite evidence<br />

that the woman was<br />

suffering from cachexia, a<br />

type of physical wasting usually<br />

due to illness, he continued<br />

to prescribe her high<br />

doses of Valium, a tranquilizer,<br />

with Adderall, a stimulant<br />

often prescribed for<br />

attention deficit problems.<br />

“Of all the questionable<br />

behaviors demonstrated by<br />

(Mashali) in the care of this<br />

patient, the most egregious is<br />

his continuing to prescribe<br />

huge doses of stimulants to a<br />

patient without a verified<br />

diagnosis, without monitoring<br />

her blood pressure or<br />

vital signs, apparently without<br />

even looking at her to<br />

see that she was cachectic,”<br />

hope to build<br />

on success<br />

WOONSOCKET – <strong>The</strong><br />

<strong>city</strong>’s Main Street business<br />

district was largely back to<br />

normal routines on Friday<br />

and someone would have to<br />

have been at the big Block<br />

Party celebrating the 125th<br />

Anniversary of the <strong>city</strong>’s<br />

incorporation Thursday<br />

evening to know just how<br />

big a change that was.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 12 stages where<br />

bands and performing acts<br />

entertained a sea of local<br />

and out-of-town people<br />

flowing like a tide from<br />

Market Square to<br />

Monument square were dissembled<br />

and all the booths<br />

and temporary facilities of<br />

the <strong>city</strong>’s one-night birthday<br />

party extravaganza taken<br />

away.<br />

Only the Arch of<br />

Triumph created by local<br />

artist Ron Deziel and the<br />

125th Anniversary organizing<br />

committee remained as<br />

a reminder of just how big<br />

the Block Party <strong>bash</strong> had<br />

roared on Main Street.<br />

But even the Arch was<br />

becoming a curiosity to people<br />

walking through the area<br />

who had not been present<br />

Thursday night.<br />

is,” a woman found walking<br />

WASHINGTON —<br />

President Barack Obama is<br />

poised to become the first<br />

U.S. leader in three decades<br />

to attack a foreign nation<br />

without mustering broad<br />

international support or acting<br />

in direct defense of<br />

Americans.<br />

Not since 1983, when<br />

President Ronald Reagan<br />

ordered an invasion of the<br />

Caribbean island of Grenada,<br />

has the U.S. been so alone in<br />

pursing major lethal military<br />

action beyond a few attacks<br />

Scant foreign support<br />

It's a policy turnabout for<br />

Obama, a Democrat who<br />

U.S. military intervention<br />

and, as a candidate, said the<br />

president "does not have<br />

Bash<br />

on Main Street with her two small children<br />

said Friday afternoon when asked about the<br />

large scaffolding covered with panels of art<br />

depicting scenes of <strong>Woonsocket</strong> history. “I<br />

didn’t really take a good look at it,” the<br />

woman said before moving on with her kids.<br />

Ashley Pelletier, 25, of Smithfield, said she<br />

also did not attend the Anniversary celebration<br />

Thursday but knew the Arch was made for the<br />

event and had watched it being put together as<br />

she came to the <strong>city</strong> each day.<br />

“It <strong>looks</strong> pretty neat,” Pelletier said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> arch is expected to remain at the junction<br />

of Main and Blackstone streets for at least<br />

another week and for those who had attended<br />

the Block Party, it might be a fitting tribute to<br />

all the work that went into planning it.<br />

Ronnie Chaplin, 56, a 1975 graduate of the<br />

high school, can see the arch from the window<br />

of his apartment on Main Street and said it<br />

shows how much work went into the putting<br />

on the one-day <strong>city</strong> celebration.<br />

“I thought it was very well planned and<br />

very well orchestrated and fun for everyone<br />

involved,” Chaplin said. “It gave a good representation<br />

of the <strong>city</strong> what we are all about<br />

and what we should be all about,” Chaplin, a<br />

patient advocate.<br />

<strong>The</strong> gathering of <strong>city</strong> residents Thursday<br />

night showed the strength of the <strong>city</strong>’s diversity,<br />

its ability to bring together a mix of different<br />

cultures and different ethnic groups,”<br />

Chaplin said.<br />

That was an improvement over the days he<br />

when he was a young black teenager growing<br />

up in the <strong>city</strong> and you belonged to one group<br />

and someone else belonged to another, he<br />

said.<br />

Chaplin’s late mother, Mary (Dandy)<br />

Chaplin Watson, had also been aware of the<br />

difference in the <strong>city</strong> in those days and 50<br />

years ago this week had joined other black<br />

representatives of Rhode Island in the March<br />

on Washington, D.C. where the Rev. Dr.<br />

Martin Luther King gave his “I Have a<br />

Dream” speech on his belief that everyone in<br />

the nation would someday enjoy freedom and<br />

equality.<br />

“She was from <strong>Woonsocket</strong> and you know<br />

that March was really all about getting to<br />

where we are today,” Chaplin said. <strong>The</strong> <strong>city</strong><br />

was a different place back then, and in some<br />

ways, with all the businesses open on Main<br />

Street and the opportunity for jobs, it was better<br />

off than it is today with its economic crisis<br />

, he said.<br />

But in other ways, the <strong>city</strong>’s has improved<br />

from where it used to be, and that change has<br />

come in a world that is even more competitive<br />

and economically challenging, according to<br />

Chaplin.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Arch could be viewed a symbol of the<br />

<strong>city</strong> moving <strong>forward</strong>, Chaplin said, for that<br />

reason he hopes it remains a bit longer.<br />

“At night, it is all lit up and it is really a<br />

Faire<br />

at multiple birds of prey, wolves,<br />

and many different types of felines<br />

such as Bengal tigers, snow leopards,<br />

and ligers to name a few.<br />

Many contests and special<br />

events will be held over the course<br />

of the fair such as a “Beard and<br />

pretty thing and I think they should make it as<br />

some type of permanent gateway into the<br />

<strong>city</strong>,” Chaplin said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Arch may not get that permanent status<br />

just yet, but Albert G. Beauparlant, basking a<br />

bit on Friday in the success of the Block<br />

Party, said it will remain on display a while<br />

longer due to the interest in the structure.<br />

Mayor Leo T. Fontaine has also received a<br />

letter from a couple who would like to be<br />

married under the Arch and there was plenty<br />

of additional talk about “what do we do with<br />

the Arch,” on Friday, Beauparlant said. “Some<br />

people want to keep it up until Autumnfest,”<br />

Beauparlant said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> fountain that had flowed from the top<br />

of the scaffolding structure was taken down as<br />

part of Friday’s clean up work and the<br />

Blackstone Street blend under it reopened to<br />

traffic. Beauparlant said he plans to tighten up<br />

all the art panels for the next few days of display<br />

and is already working on holding a thank<br />

you cook out for all the volunteers and supporters<br />

of the block party next to it next week.<br />

What was making him feel best on Friday<br />

was the knowledge everything had gone well<br />

on Thursday with very few glitches. <strong>The</strong> police<br />

department, which had put on 20 additional<br />

patrol members to provide security for the<br />

event both in the large crowd on Main Street,<br />

made only one arrest during the event, according<br />

to Police Department Det. Jamie Paone. A<br />

<strong>city</strong> man was arrested during the evening after<br />

he jumped into the pool located at the bottom<br />

of the Arch’s waterfall and initially refused to<br />

Moustache Contest” with awards<br />

for longest beard, most creative<br />

beard, and most renaissance beard.<br />

A “Game of Thrones” day where<br />

fans of the books or the show can<br />

compete for prizes in a trivia competition<br />

will also be held.<br />

However, it is the daily joust on<br />

the “Tournament Field” that is by<br />

far the most popular of the many<br />

Faire events as knights on horseback<br />

compete in the medieval competition.<br />

Many Faire visitors attend the<br />

event in medieval costume, or costumes<br />

are available to rent inside<br />

the Faire, but sneakers, boots or<br />

sturdy footwear is recommended.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Faire runs from Aug. 31 to<br />

Oct. 20. on Saturdays and Sundays<br />

get out.<br />

<strong>The</strong> man subsequently got into a scuffle<br />

with responding patrol officers and was<br />

charged with disorderly conduct and simple<br />

assault, according to Paone. Autumnfest will<br />

typically have several disorderly conduct or<br />

refusing to move incidents when it is underway,<br />

and as a result Paone said the<br />

Anniversary <strong>bash</strong> could be viewed as having<br />

gone very well with all the people that showed<br />

up at Main Street for the late afternoon and<br />

nighttime celebration.<br />

Beauparlant said his best memory of this<br />

year’s Block Party’s came as the event closed<br />

after 11 p.m. and he and his wife took a golf<br />

cart ride up and down the venue’s course. <strong>The</strong><br />

couple’s daughter Ashley had been born after<br />

the <strong>city</strong> held its 100th Anniversary Block Party<br />

in 1988 and Beauparlant said that made the<br />

ride 25 years later one that would be hard to<br />

forget as the couple talked about the past 25<br />

years. “People were coming up to us saying<br />

thank you Mr. Beauparlant for coming back to<br />

make this possible and that was really a memorable<br />

moment,” he said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> people who came to the event were the<br />

real stars in Beauparlant’s mind because of<br />

how they took pride in their <strong>city</strong> and were<br />

respectful of each other as the celebration took<br />

place. “It was amazing how clean the street<br />

was because everyone used the trash bins that<br />

had been put out,” he said. Some estimates,<br />

including those from the police department,<br />

projected as many as 32,000 people visited the<br />

half mile stretch at some point during the<br />

from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. as well as<br />

Monday, Sept. 2 and Monday, Oct.<br />

14. No pets are allowed on the<br />

Faire grounds. Guns are prohibited<br />

and “weapons” worn as part of a<br />

costume are subject to certain<br />

rules.<br />

Tickets can be purchased online<br />

or at the gate. Only cash is accepted<br />

at the ticket gate. Admission is<br />

block party’s run from 4 p.m. to 11. <strong>The</strong><br />

biggest potential threat to the smooth operation<br />

of the event was averted just before the bands<br />

started playing and the <strong>city</strong>’s Building<br />

Inspector Leo Cote and the electrical inspector<br />

discovered the power generators brought into<br />

supply electri<strong>city</strong> to the stages needed to be<br />

switch from a three-phase construction setting<br />

to a single-phase for the event. <strong>The</strong> needed<br />

changes were made in time as a result of the<br />

inspectors help, he said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> success of the event for Main Street<br />

businesses, especially the restaurants such as<br />

Chan’s, Vintage, Ciro’s, New York Lunch,<br />

Tandoori, the Cakery and others in the food<br />

court near Domino’s who all ran outdoor services,<br />

could prompt the <strong>city</strong> to put on a smaller<br />

size Block Party again next year, he noted.<br />

“I am optimistic that there is a 90 percent<br />

chance a smaller block party will be held on<br />

Main Street next year,” he said. Beauparlant<br />

himself hopes to be busy with other projects<br />

such as his work with the <strong>city</strong>’s new<br />

Redevelopment Agency to bring new businesses<br />

and opportunities for employment into<br />

<strong>Woonsocket</strong>. “I want to work on a road map<br />

for the <strong>city</strong> to move <strong>forward</strong>,” he said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> event Beauparlant, his co-chair Linda<br />

Plays and all of the members of the<br />

Anniversary Committee, its volunteers and<br />

major sponsors created is not likely to be forgotten<br />

quickly as Estelle Turgeon offered<br />

Friday when found looking up at the Arch over<br />

Main Street. “I was here and it was wonderful,”<br />

she said. “Kudos to everyone who<br />

worked on this. It’s just too bad that we don’t<br />

have more of them.” Her late parents had operated<br />

Wilfred’s Seafood in the <strong>city</strong> for many<br />

years and would have been impressed by how<br />

so many people worked together to make the<br />

celebration a success.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y would have been flabbergasted by<br />

all of this and it would have reminded them<br />

when Main Street was the <strong>city</strong>’s main business<br />

district,” she said. “It was just a nice gathering<br />

for everyone who came down to Main Street,”<br />

she said.<br />

Dan Peloquin, a local architect and volunteer<br />

at the Stadium <strong>The</strong>atre next to the Arch<br />

also had high praise for the Block Party.<br />

“Everything went smoothly and everyone<br />

seemed to be enjoying themselves,” he said.<br />

“We didn’t see anything we didn’t want to see<br />

and everyone seemed to want to have a good<br />

time, from young to old,” he said. <strong>The</strong> celebration<br />

also was important for Main Street in<br />

that it called plenty of attention to the businesses<br />

that are still here, from River Falls,<br />

Vintage and Ye Olde English at Market<br />

Square to Chan’s and Ciro’s and the small but<br />

growing cluster of businesses near the<br />

Stadium.<br />

“Anybody who came down here Thursday<br />

night I think was impressed with what they<br />

found despite all of the financial concerns we<br />

have experienced over the last several years.<br />

“It was a night for music, entertainment and<br />

meeting old friends,” he said.<br />

degree of medical certainty<br />

that the medical care provided<br />

by (Mashali) was substantially<br />

below the standard of<br />

care. His prescribing practices<br />

were dangerous.”<br />

Patient B, another female,<br />

had violated her narcotic<br />

contract with Mashali, which<br />

means she was using too<br />

much of a prescribed drug or<br />

that there was evidence of<br />

non-prescribed substances in<br />

her system. Nevertheless,<br />

Mashali prescribed her a<br />

month’s worth of opioid<br />

medication at a time.<br />

Patient D, a male, died in<br />

the spring of 2011, about<br />

four months after Mashali<br />

accepted him as a patient,<br />

with three different kinds of<br />

opiates in his system, oxycodone,<br />

oxymorphone, morphine,<br />

plus alprazolam, a<br />

tranquilizer. Mashali was<br />

prescribing him drugs even<br />

though his initial toxicology<br />

screen came back positive<br />

for amphetamines and<br />

cocaine, the reviewer said.<br />

“It seems unlikely that any<br />

pain clinician (or any clinician<br />

of any specialty) would<br />

prescribe opioids for a<br />

patient on the same day that<br />

a tox screen came back positive<br />

for both amphetamine<br />

and cocaine,” the reviewer<br />

concluded. “<strong>The</strong> judgment<br />

here is quite poor, and<br />

despite (Mashali’s) assertion<br />

that he would monitor the<br />

patient at bi-weekly intervals,<br />

the patient was not seen<br />

again for four weeks.”<br />

Another of Mashali’s<br />

patients – Patient E, a female<br />

– initially came to him for<br />

Suboxone, a drug used to<br />

wean addicts off heroin. She<br />

died in the fall of 2012 with<br />

a cocktail of opioids and<br />

sedatives in her system,<br />

including methadone;<br />

diphenhydramine, a sedative;<br />

oxycodone; carisprodal, a<br />

muscle relaxer; bupropion,<br />

an antidepressant; and<br />

promethazine, a sedative.<br />

<strong>The</strong> reviewer excoriated<br />

Mashali for giving the<br />

patient four times the supply<br />

of Suboxone than the normal<br />

protocol, and continuing the<br />

regimen despite positive<br />

screens for methadone,<br />

which hadn’t been prescribed<br />

to her, as well as the street<br />

drug Ecstasy. <strong>The</strong> review<br />

said, “In my opinion, this<br />

standard of care would place<br />

any patient at risk.”<br />

Patient F, also a female,<br />

died in 2011 with ethyl<br />

alcohol, the painkiller fentanyl<br />

and other drugs in her<br />

system. <strong>The</strong> reviewer said<br />

the case was “particularly<br />

disturbing” because the<br />

woman had a long history<br />

of opioid, cocaine and alcohol<br />

abuse. Despite Mashali’s<br />

awareness of her history of<br />

abuse and repeated stints in<br />

rehab, “he continued to give<br />

increased doses of opioids<br />

often for a month’s worth of<br />

pills at a time.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> disciplinary board, an<br />

arm of the state Department<br />

of Health, suspended both<br />

Mashali’s license to practice<br />

and his controlled substances<br />

registration, calling him “an<br />

immediate threat to the<br />

health, welfare and safety of<br />

the public.” Mashali, who<br />

has retained a lawyer,<br />

according to health officials,<br />

is entitled to an administrative<br />

hearing within 10 days<br />

to seek the repeal or amendment<br />

of the order.<br />

<strong>The</strong> disciplinary panel<br />

instructed Mashali to make<br />

arrangements for the continued<br />

care of his patients with<br />

a properly licensed physician.<br />

gathering danger argument to<br />

be able to go so aggressively,"<br />

Brower said Friday.<br />

Obama is expected to<br />

launch what officials have<br />

described as a limited strike —<br />

probably with Tomahawk<br />

cruise missiles — against<br />

Assad's forces.<br />

Two days after the suspected<br />

chemicals weapons attack<br />

in Damascus suburbs, Obama<br />

told CNN, "If the U.S. goes in<br />

and attacks another country<br />

without a U.N. mandate and<br />

without clear evidence that can<br />

be presented, then there are<br />

questions in terms of whether<br />

international law supports it;<br />

do we have the coalition to<br />

make it work?" He said:<br />

"Those are considerations that<br />

we have to take into account."<br />

Lawmakers briefed on the<br />

plans have indicated an attack<br />

is all but certain. And Obama<br />

advisers said the president was<br />

prepared to strike unilaterally,<br />

though France has said it is<br />

ready to commit forces to an<br />

operation in Syria because the<br />

use of chemical weapons cannot<br />

go unpunished.<br />

<strong>The</strong> U.S. does not have<br />

United Nations support to<br />

strike Syria, and U.N.<br />

Secretary-General Ban Kimoon<br />

has urged restraint.<br />

"Diplomacy should be given a<br />

chance and peace given a<br />

chance," he said Thursday.<br />

Expected support from<br />

Britain, a key ally, evaporated<br />

as Parliament rejected a vote<br />

Thursday endorsing military<br />

action in Syria. And diplomats<br />

with the 22-nation Arab<br />

League said the organization<br />

does not support military<br />

action without U.N. consent,<br />

an action that Russia would<br />

almost certainly block. <strong>The</strong><br />

diplomats spoke anonymously<br />

because of rules preventing<br />

them from being identified.<br />

Both Republican George<br />

H.W. Bush and Democrat Bill<br />

Clinton had U.N. approval for<br />

nearly all of their attacks on<br />

Iraq years earlier. In the 2003<br />

invasion, which was ordered<br />

by Republican George W.<br />

Bush, 48 nations supported<br />

the military campaign as a<br />

coalition. Four nations — the<br />

U.S., Britain, Australia and<br />

Poland — participated in the<br />

invasion.

State Treasurer Gina<br />

Raimondo talks at the Leon<br />

Mathieu Center.<br />

PAWTUCKET — On<br />

riday, General Treasurer<br />

ina Raimondo visited the<br />

eon Mathieu Senior<br />

enter to share some tips in<br />

ow to avoid becoming a<br />

ictim of financial scams.<br />

<strong>The</strong> visit was part of<br />

aimondo's “Smart Money<br />

our,” which she recently<br />

xtended to include some<br />

armer's markets and senior<br />

enters throughout Rhode<br />

sland. In addition to giving<br />

dvice on how to avoid<br />

ome of the more popular<br />

oney scams, Raimondo<br />

poke of how to find<br />

nclaimed property and the<br />

mportance of personal<br />

inancial management.<br />

<strong>The</strong> treasurer urged senors<br />

to be aware of fees on<br />

heir bank accounts, such as<br />

verdraft fees. “Always<br />

ead the fine print,” she<br />

arned.<br />

Raimondo also urged the<br />

eniors to sign petitions to<br />

an so-called “pay-day”<br />

ending businesses.<br />

“We need to get the<br />

eneral Assembly to pass a<br />

aw against this,” she said,<br />

romising to address this<br />

atter in the next session of<br />

he General Assembly. “I'm<br />

ot going away,” she said.<br />

As she does at each of<br />

he stops, Raimondo<br />

rought along a staff memer<br />

with a laptop computer<br />

ho was ready to help peole<br />

locate their lost or abanoned<br />

property for free.<br />

uri3<br />

ng the last fiscal year,<br />

he said the Treasury<br />

eturned more than $8 million<br />

to more than 8,000<br />

Rhode Islanders from<br />

sources such as forgotten<br />

bank accounts, stocks and<br />

dividends, and life insurance<br />

claims.<br />

Raimondo also told the<br />

audience of about 25 seniors<br />

expertise are available to<br />

speak one-on-one with seniors,<br />

by request, to help<br />

them better manage their<br />

personal finances.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>se volunteers are<br />

partnering with my office to<br />

help people. It's free and<br />

confidential. <strong>The</strong>y will sit<br />

down with you and show<br />

you how you can improve<br />

your credit, build a budget<br />

and manage debt,”<br />

Raimondo said.<br />

Raimondo gave the<br />

example of a woman whose<br />

husband had recently died<br />

and left her in good financial<br />

shape, except that she<br />

did not know how to manage<br />

her money. A financial<br />

coach “showed this woman<br />

how she could re-finance<br />

her mortgage and save<br />

about $300 a month,” she<br />

said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> volunteers,<br />

Raimondo said, can provide<br />

valuable knowledge in all<br />

aspects of money management,<br />

including re-financing<br />

of a mortgage. “<strong>The</strong>y<br />

talk about economic development.<br />

This is economic<br />

development...helping one<br />

person out of debt at a<br />

time.”<br />

Kristen Rojas, a vice<br />

president with Pawtucket<br />

Credit Union, was one of<br />

these volunteers, and spoke<br />

of the various ways in<br />

which seniors can become<br />

better educated about taking<br />

care of their own money<br />

and financial future. She<br />

answered questions about<br />

reverse mortgages, cautioning<br />

the seniors to beware of<br />

“anything that <strong>looks</strong> too<br />

good to be true...it probably<br />

is.”<br />

THE CALL — Saturday, August 31, 2013<br />

For a moment,<br />

it was enough<br />

For a little while on Wednesday, it was<br />

enough.<br />

It was enough to hear civil rights hero<br />

John Lewis insist that this America is better<br />

than the one where his blood spilled for<br />

justice.<br />

"Sometimes I hear people<br />

saying nothing has<br />

changed," he said, "but for<br />

someone to grow up the<br />

way I grew up, in the cotton<br />

fields of Alabama, to<br />

now be serving in the<br />

United States Congress<br />

makes me want to tell<br />

them, 'Come and walk in Connie Schultz<br />

my shoes.'"<br />

It was enough to watch the family of<br />

Martin Luther King Jr. gather around the<br />

bell that once hung in the 16th Street<br />

Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala. Less<br />

than three weeks after King's "I Have a<br />

Dream" speech, three girls died in a bombing<br />

at that church.<br />

"A Negro mother wept in the street<br />

Sunday morning in front of a Baptist<br />

Church in Birmingham," Atlanta<br />

Constitution Editor Eugene Patterson wrote<br />

in a column the next day. "In her hand she<br />

held a shoe, one shoe, from the foot of her<br />

dead child.<br />

We hold that shoe with her. Every one<br />

of us in the white South holds that small<br />

shoe in his hand."<br />

At 3 p.m., the King family rang that<br />

bell, and it was enough.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n the first African-American president<br />

of the United States stood in the very<br />

spot where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered<br />

his "I Have a Dream" speech. For a<br />

few minutes, it was enough to see him<br />

standing there. To hear his gratitude for the<br />

sacrifices that bore the fruit of his victory.<br />

To listen to him as he listed the kinds of<br />

Americans who refuse to give up on their<br />

country, on their fellow citizens.<br />

"That tireless teacher who gets to class<br />

early and stays late and dips into her own<br />

pocket to buy supplies because she believes<br />

that every child is her charge — she's<br />

marching," he said.<br />

"That successful businessman who doesn't<br />

have to but pays his workers a fair wage<br />

and then offers a shot to a man, maybe an<br />

ex-con, who's down on his luck — he's<br />

marching.<br />

"<strong>The</strong> mother who pours her love into her<br />

daughter so that she grows up with the confidence<br />

to walk through the same doors as<br />

anybody's son — she's marching.<br />

"<strong>The</strong> father who realizes the most<br />

important job he'll ever have is raising his<br />

boy right, even if he didn't have a father,<br />

especially if he didn't have a father at home<br />

— he's marching.<br />

"<strong>The</strong> battle-scarred veterans who devote<br />

themselves not only to helping their fellow<br />

warriors stand again and walk again and<br />

run again but to keep serving their country<br />

when they come home — they are marching.<br />

"Everyone who realizes what those glorious<br />

patriots knew on that day, that change<br />

does not come from Washington but to<br />

Washington, that change has always been<br />

built on our willingness, we the people, to<br />

take on the mantle of citizenship -- you are<br />

marching."<br />

I am an impatient patriot, loving my<br />

country but always wanting more than the<br />

current state of affairs. Often, desperately, I<br />

draw comfort from the late Rev. William<br />

Sloane Coffin's words: "<strong>The</strong>re are three<br />

kinds of patriots, two bad, one good. <strong>The</strong><br />

bad ones are the uncritical lovers and the<br />

loveless critics.<br />

Good patriots carry on a lover's quarrel<br />

with their country, a reflection of God's<br />

lover's quarrel with all the world."<br />

For hours before the president walked<br />

onto the steps of the Lincoln Memorial,<br />

one famous American after another walked<br />

to the microphone and, for the most part,<br />

gave a version of the same speech.<br />

I watched the steady stream of speakers<br />

and thought about how easy it is to feel<br />

ordinary and ineffective these days in our<br />

culture of celebrity.<br />

If you weren't invited to be onstage, if<br />

you didn't have the schedule or the money<br />

to travel to Washington this week, was it<br />

harder to think you, too, can make a difference?<br />

"Not everybody can be famous," Martin<br />

Luther King Jr. said, "but everybody can be<br />

great because greatness is determined by<br />

service." I've listened at least a hundred<br />

times to someone else deliver that quotation,<br />

and every time, I hear it a bit differently.<br />

What is service? What is the definition<br />

of greatness?<br />

On Wednesday, millions of regular<br />

Americans paused to ask such questions, of<br />

their country and themselves.<br />

For every person who felt the push to<br />

As others see it: Veterans benefits<br />

Notable Quotables<br />

<strong>The</strong> Record Journal of Meriden<br />

(Conn.):<br />

<strong>The</strong> U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs<br />

should extend full federal benefits to<br />

retired military personnel with same-sex<br />

spouses.<br />

Continued refusal to do so is irrational.<br />

Resistance conflicts with recently established<br />

precedents. Last July, U.S. Supreme<br />

Court judges altered portions of the<br />

Defense of Marriage Act that prevented<br />

gay couples from receiving federal benefits<br />

available to people in opposite-sex marriages.<br />

Consequently, the Department of<br />

Defense on Aug. 14 expanded such rights<br />

to all uniformed service members, regardless<br />

of sex of significant others.<br />

America's social tide is turning in favor<br />

of greater equality for the gay population.<br />

By remaining intractable against this modern<br />

wave of civil rights, the VA appears<br />

intolerant. For men and women who served<br />

their country, this is an unwarranted, reprehensible<br />

insult.<br />

If department officials extend full benefits<br />

to veterans in same-sex marriages, the<br />

move, besides being logical, will deservedly<br />

acknowledge the efforts and sacrifices of<br />

all who spent time in our nation's service.<br />

And it's more than a matter of principle.<br />

Gay partners denied their federal rights can<br />

face difficult monetary and health care hurdles.<br />

Bills for medicine or hospital procedures<br />

— covered for people in oppositegender<br />

marriages — can become expensive<br />

burdens on household budgets.<br />

Paying for benefits which should be federally<br />

provided is an extra level of stress<br />

not experienced by heterosexual couples.<br />

Americans, especially veterans, should not<br />

have to choose between payment and pain<br />

because employers discriminate against<br />

certain sexualities.<br />

Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal<br />

and others have correctly called on the VA<br />

to end its policy of prejudice.<br />

VA Secretary Eric Shinseki wrote in<br />

response to the senator that his agency will<br />

continue to recognize only different-gender<br />

couples until the Department of Defense or<br />

president mandates otherwise.<br />

Postponement until higher powers dictate<br />

direction is evasion of responsibility.<br />

However, if VA officials are gutlessly<br />

passing on accountability to President<br />

Obama or the Department of Defense, then<br />

either of those offices should order immediate<br />

change. Otherwise, an egregious<br />

injustice persists against a particular subset<br />

of veterans.<br />

As aptly argued 18-year Navy veteran<br />

Carmen Cardona in an Aug. 16 AP news<br />

story, ongoing bias is offensive on several<br />

levels: "... the principle, the freedom ... We<br />

are veterans. We deserve it whether we are<br />

gay or heterosexual."<br />

"<strong>The</strong> majority of the families are very ready for this. It's time for<br />

something really beautiful to be there."<br />

— Gina Russo, the president of <strong>The</strong> Station Fire memorial foundation about building<br />

a permanent memorial on the site of the blaze that killed 100 people.<br />

"It’s the right thing to do. <strong>The</strong>re’s been so much negativity and this is a<br />

chance for the residents of this to <strong>city</strong> to come together, even if it’s only for<br />

one night."<br />

— Cathy Gagnon, a Park View Manor resident in <strong>Woonsocket</strong> speaking about<br />

Thursday night’s Block Party.<br />

"No boots on the ground.”<br />

— President Barack Obama speaking about a possible strike against Syria after<br />

the Assad regime launches a chemical weapons attack that killed more than 1,400.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Call</strong>/<strong>The</strong> Times/<strong>The</strong> AP<br />

Obama and MLK,<br />

a tale of two leaders<br />

A speech at the Lincoln Memorial, on<br />

the 50th anniversary of perhaps the greatest<br />

American speech since Lincoln breathed<br />

his last, is a speechwriter’s nightmare. It is<br />

comparable to crafting Memorial Day<br />

remarks for delivery at Gettysburg, or coming<br />

up with a new angle for a speech at<br />

Pointe du Hoc. <strong>The</strong> historical stage is<br />

already fully occupied. It is like lighting a<br />

bonfire on the surface of<br />

the sun.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Rev. Martin<br />

Luther King’s “I have a<br />

dream” speech was not<br />

only an example of<br />

skilled rhetoric; it was<br />

also a moment of culmination.<br />

It was the culmination<br />

of a literary form:<br />

Michael Gerson<br />

African American<br />

preaching — practiced<br />

by four generations of<br />

the King family — with its weaving of the<br />

King James cadences, folk spirituals and<br />

patriotic texts. It was the culmination of<br />

America’s defining historical struggle: a<br />

century of African American demands for<br />

the fulfillment of national promises made<br />

at emancipation, betrayed during<br />

Reconstruction and mocked by segregation.<br />

And it was the culmination of a distinctly<br />

American type of leadership: the revolutionary<br />

conservative. <strong>The</strong> speech managed<br />

to be both radical and reassuring —<br />

demanding freedom now, precisely because<br />

our founding ideals admitted no other<br />

course.<br />

This fulfillment of craft, history and<br />

leadership seemed less like a speech than a<br />

birth, or, more precisely, the kind of national<br />

rebirth that also took place at<br />

Gettysburg. Both Lincoln and King demonstrated<br />

the most remarkable power of rhetoric:<br />

the power of trauma given meaning.<br />

Both summarized and summoned forces<br />

beyond themselves. Georg Friedrich Hegel<br />

talked of a “world spirit” that mediates universal<br />

ideals through the instrument of<br />

great men. King and his contemporaries<br />

saw a different spirit at work. Before his<br />

Lincoln Memorial speech, an aide told<br />

King, “Look, Martin, let the Lord lead you.<br />

You go on and do what the Spirit say do.”<br />

During President Obama’s Lincoln<br />

Memorial speech, he affirmed that “no one<br />

can match King’s brilliance.” And the president<br />

wisely did not try. But his speech<br />

showed signs of serious craft. Obama paid<br />

homage to King’s cadences — “Because<br />

they kept marching ...” — without straining<br />

to compete with them. He found a way to<br />

mention his own historical role — “and,<br />

yes, eventually the White House changed”<br />

— without sounding messianic. And he<br />

subtly downplayed comparisons to King by<br />

Don’t miss UPS & DOWNS<br />

on Sunday’s Opinion page<br />

drawing attention to the movement that<br />

produced the March on Washington —<br />

“men and women without rank or wealth or<br />

title or fame” who would “liberate us all.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> most instructive contrast is not<br />

between two speeches separated by half a<br />

century but between two leaders. In 1963,<br />

King was introduced by A. Philip<br />

Randolph as “the moral leader of the<br />

nation.” Obama is a successful but polarizing<br />

Democratic politician. King sought to<br />

focus and sharpen ethical choices; Obama<br />

takes pride in seeing moral complexities.<br />

King set out a millennial vision of equality<br />

and national healing; Obama talks of health<br />

reform, the minimum wage and helping the<br />

middle class.<br />

This shift in leadership is, itself, a kind<br />

of historical fulfillment. No president can<br />

be a millenarian moralist in the same way a<br />

preacher can. <strong>The</strong> nation would quickly<br />

grow tired of trumpet calls and church<br />

bells. With great power come mundane<br />

responsibilities.<br />

But Obama’s speech showed some of his<br />

signature weaknesses in the discharge of<br />

those responsibilities. His tone was inclusive<br />

and gracious — until he considered his<br />

political opponents. <strong>The</strong>y marshal “an army<br />

of lobbyists and opinion makers” to undermine<br />

the interests of working families.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y tell us that greed is “good,” and<br />

“compassion ineffective,” and that those<br />

without jobs or health care have “only<br />

themselves to blame.” What possessed the<br />

president, in the midst of a fine speech, to<br />

employ language appropriate to the<br />

Democratic National Convention?<br />

However accurate or inaccurate you regard<br />

these charges, it is not a good sign when<br />

polarization seeps into ceremonial celebrations.<br />

Another weakness was also on display.<br />

President Obama is correct in his diagnosis<br />

of the economic challenge that lies beyond<br />

legal equality: “Upward mobility has<br />

become harder.”<br />

And he is correct in identifying the<br />

drags on mobility — failed education, broken<br />

families and the structural problems<br />

caused by technology and globalization.<br />

But his time in office so far will hardly be<br />

remembered as a period of innovation in<br />

encouraging opportunity and the creation<br />

of social capital. <strong>The</strong> president can blame<br />

Republican obstruction. But that does not<br />

explain the general absence of creative policy.<br />

As the president said, we have traveled<br />

far since the March on Washington, only to<br />

arrive at different challenges. But our politics<br />

seems unequal to them on every side.<br />

Pirates ahoy!<br />

On Tuesday, Aug. 13, the Blackstone Library held an event for children called<br />

‘Party Like a Pirate.’ About 40 children wore their best pirate gear and were<br />

invited to make a treasure map, get a pirate tattoo or scar, walk the plank, dig<br />

for treasure and more.<br />

Left, Gabby Asante and Joey Donovan, both of Blackstone, dig for treasure.<br />

Above left, 3-year-old Arlen McDonald receives a pirate tattoo.<br />

Saturday, August 31, 2013<br />

Water cooler in dining room<br />

is no reason to boil over<br />

DEAR ABBY<br />

Jeanne Phillips<br />

DEAR ABBY:<br />

I’m 15 and my brother is<br />

19. He still lives at home and<br />

recently acquired a water<br />

cooler — the kind you see in<br />

doctors’ offices. He has it sitting<br />

in the dining room and,<br />

frankly, I hate it! It’s unsightly<br />

and unnecessary.<br />

My parents allow it to stay<br />

there. <strong>The</strong>y have never cared<br />

much about how their house<br />

<strong>looks</strong>. I do most of the cleaning.<br />

Is there any way I can<br />

convince them to remove the<br />

water cooler? It’s not the<br />

kind you see in home magazines.<br />

— WANTS A NORMAL<br />

HOUSE<br />

DEAR WANTS A NOR-<br />

MAL HOUSE: Ideally, a<br />

water cooler would be placed<br />

in a kitchen. However, if<br />

there isn’t room for it in your<br />

parents’ kitchen, and meals<br />

are shared in the dining<br />

room, that’s the logical place<br />

for it. I can’t see why the<br />

water cooler would embarrass<br />

you. Most people’s<br />

homes don’t resemble the layouts<br />

you see in magazines.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y are an “ideal” folks aim<br />

for until reality compels them<br />

to organize their living space<br />

in a way that conforms to<br />

their needs and budgets,<br />

rather than their desires.<br />

DEAR ABBY:<br />

I have been dating my<br />

boyfriend for three years. We<br />

get along well, but he has the<br />

most annoying habit of gnawing<br />

his fingernails. It is constant,<br />

and he hardly has any<br />

left. I find it repulsive and<br />

embarrassing when we’re out<br />

in public.<br />

I have asked him repeatedly<br />

to stop. He says he has<br />

done it all his life and I<br />

should stop nagging. If it<br />

were the other way around<br />

and I knew something I did<br />

bothered him, I’d try my best<br />

not to do it because I loved<br />

him. I know most people<br />

have habits, and this is more<br />

of an addiction. What can I<br />

say to make him stop?<br />

— BITING OFF TOO<br />

MUCH IN S. CAROLINA<br />

DEAR BITING: Nail-biting<br />

is typically related to<br />

stress and anxiety. <strong>The</strong>re are<br />

ways to stop, and he should<br />

talk about it with his doctor.<br />

Beyond suggesting that he<br />

make an appointment, nothing<br />

you can say will “make”<br />

your boyfriend change his<br />

behavior. Because you find<br />

the habit repulsive and<br />

embarrassing, the question<br />

it’s time to ask yourself is<br />

whether it’s a deal-breaker,<br />

and no one can answer that<br />

but you.<br />

DEAR ABBY:<br />

I am 20 years old and have<br />

been in a relationship since I<br />

was 15. I never had a childhood.<br />

At 14 I became an<br />

adult and never got to experience<br />

any teenage freedom. I<br />

realize now that I’m not<br />

ready to settle down with anyone,<br />

but I know he is. I am<br />

unhappy, but I’m afraid of<br />

hurting him.<br />

I am the type of person<br />

who would hurt myself before<br />

I hurt anyone else. I think<br />

I’m ready to experience life<br />

as a separate individual, but I<br />

don’t know how to tell him.<br />

He always said this would<br />

happen, but I denied it. Now<br />

I realize he was right. I don’t<br />

know how to start the conversation.<br />

Please help me.<br />

— NOT READY TO SET-<br />

TLE DOWN<br />

DEAR NOT READY: You<br />

are the type of person who<br />

would hurt yourself before<br />

you hurt anyone else? While<br />

that is altruistic to the max, it<br />

is a dangerous way to live<br />

your life. In a case like this,<br />

better HE should cry for a<br />

short time than YOU should<br />

cry for the next decade or so.<br />

A way to start the conversation<br />

would be to say: “We<br />

need to talk, and I need to be<br />

honest with you. You were<br />

right when you said this<br />

wouldn’t last — and I was<br />

immature and inexperienced<br />

when I said you were wrong.”<br />

Horoscope<br />

By HOLIDAY MATHIS<br />

ARIES (March 21-April 19).<br />

You’ll generously volunteer your<br />

compassion and support to victims<br />

of inner turmoil. How do<br />

you spot them? Easily. It’s readily<br />

apparent in the disarray surrounding<br />

them.<br />

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).<br />

Nothing you do in relationships<br />

is a waste of time if you are paying<br />

attention. However the relationship<br />

develops (or doesn’t),<br />

you are learning and growing<br />

wiser with each interaction.<br />

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).<br />

People tend to fight the hardest<br />

about trivial things and will<br />

spend a great deal of time on<br />

matters of little or no consequence.<br />

This quirk of human<br />

nature will be well represented<br />

in today’s focus on minor issues.<br />

CANCER (June 22-July 22).<br />

<strong>The</strong>re’s no point in torturing<br />

yourself with thoughts about<br />

your past mistakes. Let them go<br />

— all of them. Every living person<br />

on the planet is a work in<br />

progress. Ease up on yourself.<br />

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).<br />

You’ll start a conversation, keep<br />

it going strong until its natural<br />

conclusion and leave a positive<br />

impression. This is no small task<br />

considering how many people<br />

around you are having communication<br />

problems lately.<br />

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).<br />

One thing that keeps you strong<br />

is that you regularly lift what’s<br />

heavy. This is true figuratively,<br />

too. In the middle of the act, you<br />

may wonder why you took on<br />

such a heavy load. But when it’s<br />

over, you’re better for it.<br />

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).<br />

Your mission to spread joy will<br />

go very well today. And if you<br />

didn’t realize that was the mission<br />

you were on, you’ll see it in<br />

the smiling eyes of your many<br />

fans.<br />

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).<br />

Maybe the losses of the past<br />

weren’t really losses at all.<br />

Maybe they were what you had<br />

to let go of to embrace the current<br />

you. A change in your historical<br />

perspective will change<br />

everything.<br />

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-<br />

Dec. 21). A mess is really just a<br />

pile of potential building material<br />

for your next project. Whether<br />

the resources are physical or<br />

psychic, you’ll spend most of the<br />

day organizing them well.<br />

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.<br />

19). Instead of pondering your<br />

last incarnation or dreaming<br />

about who you’ll be in the<br />

future, give your full attention<br />

and care to the magnificent<br />

being staring back at you in the<br />

mirror.<br />

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.<br />

18). If you want to prove a point,<br />

you’ll find the evidence you<br />

need to prove it — whether or<br />

not the point is correct. Before<br />

you go to any trouble, make sure<br />

your stance is worth getting<br />

behind.<br />

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).<br />

Relationships cannot mature<br />

unless the people in them do.<br />

Since you can’t mature for your<br />

partner, just know that any work<br />

you do to become more loving<br />

or to increase your understanding<br />

of the world will help things.<br />

THE CALL, Saturday, August 31, 2013 — C1<br />

Placing an ‘additional tool in tool<br />

box’ only benefits minor leaguers<br />

DiSarcina discusses value of playing multiple positions<br />

By BRENDAN McGAIR<br />

bmcgair@pawtuckettimes.com<br />

PAWTUCKET — It was a warm late June night and first<br />

itch at McCoy Stadium was still several hours away. Up in<br />

he press box, a number of baseball scouts had gathered for<br />

ome friendly chatter that ranged from strengths and weakesses<br />

of particular players to each one’s travel log of minoreague<br />

ballparks.<br />

Curious about the lineups, one scout turned his head left to<br />

here they were posted in a plastic case on the wall. He<br />

hought his eyes were playing tricks on him, the result of seeng<br />

‘RF’ next to Jackie Bradley Jr.’s name, not the customary<br />

CF’ that came to define the prospect.<br />

<strong>The</strong> scout produced a look on his face that could have been<br />

urmised with a cartoon bubble featuring some tweaking to<br />

ince Lombardi’s famous “What the (heck’s) going on here?”<br />

ideline rant. Why was Bradley, a center fielder by trade, linng<br />

up at a different outfield position? Wouldn’t the 23-yearld<br />

– and all minor-league position players for that matter – be<br />

etter suited to concentrate on one defensive spot rather than<br />

taring into the batter’s box from what could be described as a<br />

oreign vantage point?<br />

in 3 1/3-inning rehab start<br />

— See page C3<br />

According to one American League scout, the practice of<br />

introducing players to a different defensive side of baseball<br />

life while in the minors dates stems from a conundrum the<br />

Minnesota Twins ran into when Denard Span came on the<br />

scene in 2008. In the Twins’ farm system was where Span had<br />

made his bones as a center fielder.<br />

Already buoyed by a Gold Glove center fielder in Torii<br />

Hunter, Minnesota sent Span out to right field for his first big<br />

league game. Keep in mind that Span’s debut came with the<br />

Metrodome’s white roof hanging over his head.<br />

“(Minnesota manager Ron) Gardenhire asked Span if he<br />

had ever played right field. He said no. All of a sudden it’s<br />

PGA Tour<br />

Mickelson’s star power shines brightest in Norton, Mass.<br />

Phil Mickelson<br />

Lefty grabs share of first-round lead of Deutsche Bank Championship<br />

NORTON, Mass. (AP) — Phil Mickelson keeps saying how<br />

much he loves playing with Tiger Woods. He shot 63 at the Deutsche<br />

Bank Championship to prove it.<br />

In a feature grouping of the top three players in the world ranking,<br />

Mickelson turned in the star performance Friday morning with a 28<br />

that allowed him to consider — but only briefly — another shot at 59.<br />

By the end of the day, when he played a risky shot from deep in<br />

the trees on his final hole to salvage bogey, he was happy to have a<br />

share of the lead. Mickelson was tied with Brian Davis, who made a<br />

25-foot birdie putt on the last hole to join him at 8-under 63.<br />

"What Phil did today was pretty impressive," Woods said after a<br />

68 that only seemed worse considering the company he kept.<br />

Masters champion Adam Scott, rounding out the 1-2-3 pairing,<br />

struggled to a 73 and joked later that he rolled out of the wrong side<br />

of the bed. "I wish could have gotten in their jet stream," Scott said.<br />

Mickelson did everything right.<br />

He started his round on the TPC Boston by making birdie putts of<br />

20 feet on No. 10 and 30 feet on No. 11. He ended the front nine with<br />

five straight birdies, only the second nine-hole score of 28 on the<br />

PGA Tour this year. And even after a bogey from the bunker on No.<br />

1, he hit a 6-iron from 213 yards that settled just more than a foot<br />

Staff reports<br />

SMITHFIELD — Forget the 10-minute drive to the<br />

High Ridge courts in Lincoln. Mount St. Charles only<br />

had to walk across Logee Street and step onto its brand<br />

new six-court complex for its Injury Fund Tennis<br />

Challenge.<br />

Joined by the teams from La Salle Academy, the<br />

Prout School, and the Wheeler School, as well as a large<br />

gathering of fans and alumni, the Mounties, head coach<br />

Marissa Pitrone-Marsh, and athletic director and former<br />

coach Richard Lawrence conducted a small ceremony<br />

opening the courts on a sun-drenched Friday afternoon.<br />

<strong>The</strong> highlight of the ceremony was the proceeds from<br />

the event’s t-shirt drive, which saw each player purchase<br />

a t-shirt for $10 and the proceeds go toward the Brain<br />

Injury Association and the Boston Acquired Brain Injury<br />

Support Group.<br />

<strong>The</strong> event also celebrated the recovery of Michael<br />

Bardellini, who was involved in a serious automobile<br />

accident in Henderson, Nev. and recovered from brain<br />

surgery. Bardellini was on hand to thank the players for<br />

their contributions and give a motivational speech during<br />

the ceremony.<br />

Bardellini, a fitness trainer, has a motivational clothing<br />

line called ‘B Fit Forever’, and the logo was on the t-<br />

shirt that the players purchased.<br />

Each team played a doubleheader, with the opening<br />

4:15 p.m. matches pitting Mount against Prout and La<br />

Salle facing Wheeler, and the nightcap featuring Mount<br />

taking on La Salle and Wheeler playing Prout.<br />

Each match consisted of four singles matches and<br />

two doubles matches, and each player and doubles team<br />

played just one four-game set.<br />

Each player also brought a food item to share with<br />

their teammates and the players from other teams at a<br />

small picnic located on the portion of the school’s upper<br />

field that is used for baseball games.<br />

away for eagle on the next hole. That put him at 8 under for his round<br />

with seven holes to play.<br />

"It was a good start," Mickelson said. "I got off to a great front<br />

nine and somewhat stalled on the back. But after shooting 7 under the<br />

first nine, it was going to be a good round as long as I didn't mess it<br />

up."<br />

He tried. Mickelson ended his brilliant round with two words:<br />

"Oh, no." He hit a snap-hook off the ninth tee, so far right that it<br />

missed the fairway by some 40 yards and went so deep in the woods<br />

that fans could barely see Mickelson ducking and weaving through<br />

the branches to find his ball.<br />

He decided against a one-shot penalty drop out of the lateral hazard,<br />

fearing the slope would roll the ball too close to the branches and<br />

restrict his swing.<br />

"Just give me an 8- or a 9-iron," he told his caddie, Jim "Bones"<br />

Mackay. He was ready to hack away when his caddie reminded him<br />

the gallery was still in the way. Choking well up the grip, flattening<br />

the swing to avoid limbs, Mickelson chopped it out to the rough and<br />

still had 210 yards left. He knocked that one on the green and twoputted<br />

for his bogey and a 63.<br />

Playing multiple positions adds value<br />

Continued from page C1<br />

like ‘I’ve got to get this guy in the lineup,’”<br />

the scout shared. “Granted the kid was athletic<br />

enough to do it, but after that, it seemed<br />

to me that everybody was a utility guy.”<br />

Pawtucket manager Gary DiSarcina<br />

experienced his own Denard Span moment<br />

on June 6,1990. <strong>After</strong> logging 12 straight<br />

games at shortstop, the Angels re-positioned<br />

DiSarcina at second base so that<br />

Dick Schofield could return to his natural<br />

position after beginning the season on the<br />

disabled list.<br />

“I was overwhelmed and numb,”<br />

recalled Disarcina, who was exclusively a<br />

shortstop in the Angels’ farm system. “Our<br />

position coach had me out at second base<br />

teaching me how to turn a double play in<br />

Kansas City in the big leagues, and I’m<br />

thinking, ‘Oh my God.’”<br />

***<br />

A couple of years after Span’s horizons<br />

were broadened out of necessity, the same<br />

scout was in Syracuse for an eight-game<br />

stretch. Just one player on the home team –<br />

Justin Maxwell – played the same outfield<br />

position all eight games.<br />

When you observe numerous players<br />

getting shuffled around the diamond over<br />

the course of pretty significant sample size,<br />

the more it becomes clearer that the days of<br />

pegging a guy strictly as a shortstop or a<br />

center fielder are in the rear view mirror.<br />

Along the same waive length, the placing<br />

of an “additional tool in the tool box” –<br />

a phase DiSarcina has used on multiple<br />

occasions this season – has become a staple<br />

of the minor-league culture. <strong>The</strong> scout<br />

noted that even the lower levels have<br />

become just as sophisticated in handing an<br />

outfielder a first baseman’s mitt, for example,<br />

as the Triple-A ranks, though that’s not<br />

to say you can’t teach a player new tricks<br />

just because he stands one level away from<br />

the majors.<br />

Bradley is far from the only PawSox<br />

position player to see time someplace other<br />

than his customary spot this season. Jose<br />

Iglesias and Xander Bogaerts are gifted<br />

shortstops by trade, yet such technicalities<br />

didn’t prevent the Red Sox from sliding<br />

either one over to third base. Longtime outfielder<br />

Alex Hassan has played 10 games at<br />

first base.<br />

To DiSarcina, having a player add a<br />

position to his portfolio at the minor league<br />

level contains one obvious merit – it helps<br />

to eliminate the kind of on-the-job training<br />

that himself and Span were forced to<br />

endure upon reaching the top of professional<br />

baseball’s pyramid.<br />

“I don’t want these guys to have that feeling,”<br />

DiSarcina said. “It’s not fair. I didn’t<br />

like it as a player, and I don’t want them to<br />

have that feeling. And I was playing in<br />

California on a second-tier team. <strong>The</strong>se guys<br />

are playing in Boston in a big market with<br />

everyone watching. And first impressions<br />

mean everything, so get all those firsts taken<br />

care of here. Make all your mistakes here.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> same scout who told about Span’s<br />

“Welcome to <strong>The</strong> Show” moment backed<br />

DiSarcina’s thoughts when he said, “(<strong>The</strong><br />

majors) isn’t the place to learn.”<br />

***<br />

From the player’s perspective, not being<br />

pigeonholed as a one-dimensional defender<br />

is a distinguishable trait that can only<br />

increase one’s worth to those entrusted with<br />

the responsibility of forming a balanced<br />

major-league roster.<br />

“To be able to play all three (outfield)<br />

spots is good because they’re able to move<br />

you around depending on what they want<br />

to do with you,” said Bradley, who has<br />

played seven games in right field and four<br />

in left field for Pawtucket this season.<br />

Speaking about his own personal dealings,<br />

Bradley expressed that manning the<br />

corner outfield positions has proven advantageous.<br />

“You definitely see things from a different<br />

perspective and you have to act accordingly<br />

with certain plays,” he noted. “You’re<br />

not going to make the same throws from<br />

left field to home plate that you would from<br />

center field or right. Communicating your<br />

role when you’re on the corners also<br />

changes. You’re no longer the head honcho<br />

like you are in center, so you have to have a<br />

little giving.<br />

“If you’re willing to make the adjustments,<br />

it can be fun,” Bradley continued.<br />

“Center field is where I’m in my comfort<br />

zone and at first it kind of works hand and<br />

hand with offense at first. Sometimes you<br />

may not feel like you’re at your best<br />

because you’re not in your spot. <strong>After</strong> an atbat<br />

you’re thinking about going to a position<br />

that you’re not quite as used to, but all<br />

you can focus on is to keep working and<br />

improving every single day.”<br />

Not to mention continue to take steps<br />

that will enable up-and-coming players to<br />

avoid the same fish-out-of-water moment<br />

that Span and DiSarcina were forced to<br />

confront.<br />

NBA<br />

Odom is arrested for DUI in Los Angeles<br />

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Basketball<br />

star Lamar Odom was arrested for allegedly<br />

driving under the influence early Friday<br />

after a California Highway Patrol officer<br />

saw his white Mercedes-Benz traveling<br />

erratically on a San Fernando Valley<br />

Freeway.<br />

<strong>The</strong> husband of reality TV star Khloe<br />

Kardashian was stopped shortly before 4<br />

a.m. and was arrested after a field sobriety<br />

test<br />

Ṫhe CHP said Odom's car was<br />

observed traveling in a "serpentine manner"<br />

before he pulled off the freeway.<br />

MLS<br />

"Mr. Odom showed objective signs of<br />

intoxication and was unable to perform<br />

field sobriety tests," the CHP said in a<br />

report. Authorities said he later declined to<br />

take a chemical test.<br />

Odom, 33, was booked for investigation<br />

of driving under the influence of alcohol or<br />

drugs and jailed on $15,000 bail.<br />

He was released Friday morning after<br />

posting bail.<br />

A message for his agent, Jeff Schwartz,<br />

wasn't immediately returned.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 6-foot-10-inch <strong>forward</strong> has played<br />

for the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers,<br />

the Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks.<br />

Odom broke into the NBA with the<br />

Clippers in 1999, playing for them for four<br />

seasons before spending the 2003-04 season<br />

with the Heat.<br />

He had his best years during his six seasons<br />

with the Lakers, beginning in 2004-<br />

05. <strong>The</strong> team won NBA championships in<br />

2010 and 2011 and Odom won the NBA's<br />

sixth man award in 2011.<br />

<strong>After</strong> spending the 2012 season with the<br />

Dallas Mavericks, he returned to the<br />

Clippers last year. He became a free agent<br />

at the end of the season.<br />

Revolution battles Toronto FC to 1-1 draw<br />

TORONTO (AP) — Andrew<br />

Wiedeman scored the tying goal off a<br />

scramble late in the first half to help<br />

Toronto FC to a 1-1 draw against the New<br />

England Revolution on Friday night.<br />

Wiedeman flicked home the equalizer<br />

past helpless goalkeeper Matt Reis, leaving<br />

New England (10-9-7) winless in seven<br />

trips to Toronto. <strong>The</strong> Revs, unbeaten in<br />

three straight matches, earned a point to<br />

move into the fifth and final playoff spot in<br />

the Eastern Conference.<br />

It was the second straight 1-1 draw for<br />

Toronto (4-12-10), which is winless in its<br />

last four matches overall.<br />

Toronto captain Steven Caldwell<br />

appeared to have won it in the 88th minute<br />

when his header off a free kick slipped<br />

inside the far post, but referee Fotis Bazakos<br />

ruled he committed a foul on the play.<br />

That was one of few scoring chances by<br />

either side in a largely uneventful second<br />

half.<br />

Diego Fagundez quickly gave the<br />

Revolution a 1-0 lead in the second minute.<br />

Kelyn Rowe, who came in with three<br />

goals in his last two matches, gained possession<br />

of the ball just inside Toronto's half<br />

and made a nice run to the top of the<br />

penalty area, where he walked around<br />

defender Doneil Henry and thumped a shot<br />

off the back of Richard Eckersley. He collected<br />

his own rebound and slid a pass<br />

across the penalty area to a wide open<br />

Fagundez, who tapped it into the net for<br />

his team-leading ninth goal.<br />

International League<br />

By BRENDAN McGAIR<br />

bmcgair@pawtuckettimes.com<br />

PAWTUCKET – Clay Buchholz classified<br />

is 3.1-inning stint at McCoy Stadium on<br />

riday as a step <strong>forward</strong>.<br />

“Tonight, I was much more impressed with<br />

he velo<strong>city</strong> that I was able to sustain over the<br />

eriod I was out there and being able to throw all<br />

y pitches with the same effort level and arm<br />

ngle,” said Buchholz after scattering seven hits<br />

nd allowing one run against Syracuse. “That<br />

as basically the final hump I had to get over as<br />

ar as not having a second thought in the back of<br />

y head. It was about getting my release point<br />

own on all my pitches.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> fact that none of Buchholz’s pitches<br />

esulted in any sort of discomfort is reason to<br />

elieve that the All-Star pitcher is no longer<br />

ealing with the neck-related maladies that<br />

ransformed a Cy Young-caliber campaign into<br />

ne he hopes that he’s able to salvage. Buchholz<br />

ed all of Major League Baseball with a 1.71<br />

RA and was tied for first in wins (nine) when<br />

e landed on the disabled list on June 18<br />

retroactive to June 9).<br />

“(Working) out of the stretch is my the only<br />

ncomfortable spot right now. I don’t feel real<br />

NFL<br />

balanced in the stretch,” Buchholz said in<br />

response to a reporter asking about the deliberate<br />

pace he featured at times Friday night. “It’s<br />

something that I’m trying to get a comfort level<br />

with since most of my rehab appearances have<br />

been out of the stretch.”<br />

Asked if he needed a third rehab start,<br />

Buchholz nodded his head in the affirmative.<br />

<strong>The</strong> venue for next Wednesday’s appearance<br />

will depend on the playoff schedule of Boston’s<br />

minor-league affiliates. Another factor to take<br />

under advisement is that Buchholz and his wife<br />

Lindsay are expecting the couple’s second child<br />

sometime next week.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> next time out, I can amp up the pitch<br />

count to 75-80 and hopefully that gets me<br />

through five innings,” said Buchholz, who is<br />

targeting Sept. 10 in Tampa Bay as his return<br />

date to the Red Sox. “I need one more. If I didn’t<br />

have one more, I would be thrown to<br />

Detroit. You don’t need to go out there and second-guess<br />

the command of your pitches when<br />

you face a lineup like that. I want to make sure<br />

that I’m physically ready to go into that start [at<br />

Tropicana Field].”<br />

<strong>The</strong> right-hander was scheduled to throw 50-<br />

55 pitches Friday; he was removed after throwing<br />

52 pitches and 34 strikes. Had Buchholz not<br />

SPORTS THE CALL C3<br />

Henry’s hit helps PawSox clinch division title<br />

By BRENDAN McGAIR<br />

bmcgair@pawtuckettimes.com<br />

PAWTUCKET – It was about 11 a.m. Friday when Gary<br />

iSarcina received a text message from Justin Henry, a player who<br />

ccording to the PawSox skipper, “has had a rough year. He was a<br />

300 hitter in Toledo last year, but he’s one of the best teammates<br />

ut there.”<br />

Henry had a simple request. His mother was in town and was<br />

ondering if it was possible for DiSarcina to include him in the<br />

ineup for that night’s game against Syracuse.<br />

“I had made the lineup out, but as I’ve told the guys from the<br />

ery beginning of the year, whether we’re home or on the road, if<br />

ou’re family or parents are in town, we’ll get you in,” was the<br />

romise DiSarcina has managed to keep. “Justin’s mom has been in<br />

own the past four days.”<br />

With a special set of eyes looking on, Henry played the role of<br />

ero as Pawtucket is heading to the Governors’ Cup playoffs for the<br />

hird straight season, a franchise first. Henry’s two-out single in the<br />

bottom of ninth plated speedster Quintin Berry with the North<br />

Division-clinching run as the PawSox gave the 11,017 fans an additional<br />

reason to cheer following a thrilling 2-1 walk-off win over the<br />

Chiefs.<br />

<strong>The</strong> division title is the seventh in PawSox history and the second<br />

in three seasons. <strong>The</strong> defending Governors’ Cup champions<br />

will open the 2013 playoffs on the road next Wednesday at either<br />

Norfolk or Rochester. <strong>The</strong> first two games of the best-of-five opening<br />

round will take place in the other team’s ballpark before the<br />

locals return home next Friday for Game 3.<br />

If needed, Game 4 will take place next Saturday and Game 5 a<br />

week from this coming Sunday.<br />

As he enjoyed a cigar in his office, DiSarcina reflected on<br />

Henry’s contribution. <strong>The</strong> utility player took a .209 average into<br />

Friday’s action.<br />

“Great team win,” he stated. “When Justin got that hit, I was<br />

thinking, ‘This is what it’s all about.’A true professional and a great<br />

teammate.”<br />

Berry helped set the stage for Henry’s heroics with a walk and a<br />

Buchholz takes ‘step <strong>forward</strong>’ in rehab start, works 3-plus innings<br />

thrown 23 pitches in the first inning, it’s conceivable<br />

that he could have remained out there<br />

for more than the 10 outs he ended up recording<br />

Ḃuchholz ended up falling behind 1-0 against<br />

four of the five Syracuse batters he faced in the<br />

top of the first. He began the outing with a<br />

seven-pitch confrontation with Eury Perez, who<br />

singled through the left side. A stolen base and a<br />

throwing error by catcher Ryan Lavarnway<br />

enabled Perez to advance to third.<br />

<strong>The</strong> second hitter for the Chiefs, Jeff<br />

Kobernus, scraped the third-base chalk for an<br />

infield to create a first-and-third scenario for<br />

Buchholz and the PawSox. Danny Espinosa then<br />

turned on a 91 mph offering to produce a run.<br />

A 6-4-3 double play helped make life a little<br />

easier for Buchholz, who ended the first by getting<br />

Will Rhymes to pop up to shortstop Brock<br />

Holt. Buchholz’s fastball topped out at 94 mph<br />

in the first, which was also represented the highest<br />

reading of his outing.<br />

<strong>The</strong> first two Chiefs went down in order in<br />

the second inning before Jimmy Van Ostrand<br />

singled. He ended the frame with his first strikeout<br />

that came on what appeared to be an 87<br />

mph cutter. Buchholz finished with two punchouts<br />

and zero walks.<br />

stolen base. With the count 1-1, Henry laced a single to center that<br />

ended the contest and set in motion a jubilant scene of enthusiastic<br />

PawSox ballplayers and coaching members.<br />

<strong>The</strong> win goes to Anthony Ranaudo, who made his first-ever<br />

relief appearance as a professional following 59 consecutive starts.<br />

Following Clay Buchholz, Jose De La Torre and Alex Wilson,<br />

Ranaudo tossed four hitless innings with five strikeouts and one<br />

walk.<br />

“He struggled with his fastball up in the zone in the beginning of<br />

his outing, but he settled down and absolutely pitched his heart out,”<br />

said DiSarcina.<br />

Speaking of Wilson, the right-hander tossed a scoreless fifth<br />

inning, throwing eight of his 10 pitches for strikes. It was Wilson’s<br />

first appearance on the mound since Aug. 9. Another rehabber,<br />

Brandon Snyder, played seven innings at third base and 1-for-3.<br />

Prior to the game, the PawSox that closer Anthony Carter was<br />

chosen as the team’s Most Valuable Pitcher and that catcher Dan<br />

Butler had distinguished himself enough to win Team MVP honors.<br />

Follow Brendan McGair on Twitter @BWMcGair03<br />

Perez began the third inning in the same<br />

fashion that he began the first, with a base hit.<br />

With one down, Espinosa lined a shot into the<br />

right-field corner that Bryce Brentz bobbled.<br />

<strong>The</strong> miscue left Buchholz to deal with a secondand-third<br />

jam with one out.<br />

A hard liner to second base produced the second<br />

out. Rhymes then watched a 91 mph offering<br />

zip by for strike three.<br />

Buchholz started the fourth with a one-pitch<br />

out. He then allowed a loud double to No. 7 hitter<br />

Chris Rahl on a pitch that “was supposed to<br />

be a front door cutter and I just pulled it middle.<br />

Kid got some good wood on it.”<br />

<strong>After</strong> flying from Los Angeles to New York<br />

last weekend to pitch against New York-Penn<br />

League competition, Buchholz admitted that<br />

Friday felt like a normal day from a preparation<br />

standpoint – one that saw him clear a mental<br />

hurdle.<br />

“I felt good for a number of days a couple of<br />

weeks ago and felt like it was time to get off the<br />

mound. I actually re-injured myself doing that,”<br />

Buchholz said. “This is the hardest I’ve tried to<br />

throw throughout this whole process, which is a<br />

good thing for me.”<br />

Patriots hand out pink slips to tight ends Ballard, Fells<br />

FOXBORO, Mass. (AP) — <strong>The</strong> New England<br />

atriots released veteran tight ends Jake Ballard<br />

nd Daniel Fells in the first batch of final cuts.<br />

Now comes the really hard part.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Patriots released 10 players on Friday and<br />

ust reduce their roster by 12 more to get down<br />

o the NFL regular-season limit of 53 by<br />

aturday.<br />

Tim Tebow could be in jeopardy despite a<br />

ecent performance in the Patriots' 28-20 win<br />

ver the New York Giants in the exhibition finale<br />

hursday. <strong>The</strong> third-string quarterback completed<br />

of 11 passes for 91 yards with two touchdowns<br />

nd one interception. He also was sacked four<br />

imes but got poor protection on some of them.<br />

"It's not just one game (that matters)," coach<br />

ill Belichick said about the player evaluation<br />

rocess, "although every game is important. But<br />

he body of work, the camp, the rate of improveent,<br />

the ability to do the things that players are<br />

oing to be asked to do at their respective posiions<br />

(also matters)."<br />

Belichick spoke before the cuts were<br />

nnounced and gave no indication of which playrs<br />

he might let go.<br />

<strong>The</strong> cuts of Ballard and Fells indicate that Rob<br />

ronkowski could be ready to play sooner than<br />

xpected after missing all four exhibition games<br />

ollowing back surgery. He's one of three tight<br />

nds still on the roster.<br />

Tebow, who is one of three quarterbacks, playng<br />

behind Tom Brady and Ryan Mallett, was<br />

asked after Thursday's game if he felt that performance<br />

improved his chances of making the<br />

team. He said, "I'm not sure. I don't make those<br />

decisions."<br />

That decision will depend on whether<br />

Belichick feels it would help the Patriots more to<br />

have greater depth at another position than by<br />

carrying a third quarterback, something he's done<br />

just once in the past four seasons.<br />

"I don't think it's good planning or good insurance<br />

for your team to go light at a position and<br />

then have no idea where your depth at that position<br />

is going to be," he said. "It may be on the<br />

roster. It may not be on the roster. But, at least,<br />

you want to have some idea where you're headed<br />

if you need it."<br />

That depth could come from players on the<br />

practice squad, the physically unable to perform<br />

list or free agents who aren't on any team,<br />

Belichick said.<br />

"I think whenever you put a roster together you<br />

look at it and say, 'OK, we're a little heavy here<br />

and we're a little light here,' relative to where your<br />

team has been in the past, or maybe relative to<br />

what the norm is around the league," he said.<br />

"But you do it because you feel you have a higher<br />

quality player at a certain position, or you just<br />

lack the overall depth at another position. That's<br />

going to happen somewhere on your roster every<br />

year."<br />

<strong>The</strong> Patriots released three other veterans —<br />

defensive end Marcus Benard, wide receiver<br />

Johnathan Haggerty and linebacker Mike Rivera<br />

— first-year offensive lineman Luke Patterson<br />

and four rookie free agents — fullback Ben<br />

&<br />

Bartho-lomew, defensive linemen Gilbert Pena<br />

and Scott Vallone and offensive lineman Matt<br />

Stankiewitch.<br />

Red Sox defeat<br />

White Sox, 4-3<br />

BOSTON (AP) — Ryan Dempster returned from his suspension<br />

for hitting Alex Rodriguez and pitched into the seventh inning, leading<br />

the Boston Red Sox over the Chicago White Sox 4-3 Friday night<br />

for their fifth win in six games .<br />

David Ortiz snapped an 0-for-23 slump with a two-run single for<br />

the AL East leaders.<br />

Dempster (7-9), penalized five games for plunking A-Rod on<br />

Aug. 18, held Chicago hitless through the first four innings. He<br />

allowed three runs and five hits in 6 1-3 innings.<br />

Koji Uehara struck out two in the ninth for his 15th save in 18<br />

opportunities. He worked 1 1-3 innings in his 20th straight scoreless<br />

appearance.<br />

Players share<br />

mixed emotions<br />

on settlement<br />

Boyd: NFL is playing ‘pocket<br />

change’ for concussion suits<br />

NEW YORK (AP) — Those hundreds of millions of dollars<br />

the NFL is ready to pay former players sound great, until<br />

you stretch it out over 20 years and divide it among thousands<br />

of people.<br />

Which is why some former players and others think the<br />

league is getting off cheap in its tentative settlement with<br />

victims of concussion-related brain injuries.<br />

<strong>The</strong> deal announced Thursday to settle 4,500 or so claims<br />

is awaiting approval by a federal judge in Philadelphia.<br />

"$765 million?" asked former Minnesota Viking Brent<br />

Boyd, one of the original plaintiffs in the lawsuit. "<strong>The</strong><br />

breakdown is $1.2 million over 20 years per team. What is<br />

that, a third of the average salary? <strong>The</strong>re is no penalty there.<br />

It's pocket change."<br />

Former players union president and Pro Bowl center<br />

Kevin Mawae complained that the NFL does not have to<br />

admit culpability.<br />

"<strong>The</strong> unfortunate thing is that the general fan, they see<br />

$765 million and they think it's a windfall for the players. It's<br />

great for ... the guys that would fall in the category of needing<br />

immediate help," Mawae said. "But it's $700 million<br />

worth of hush money that they will never have to be<br />

accountable for."<br />

Others former players didn't seem as concerned about the<br />

amount of money, preferring to focus on the timing of the<br />

settlement. <strong>The</strong>y said that getting medical coverage now for<br />

their peers — or themselves — who suffer from a variety of<br />

brain ailments and other health problems is essential.<br />

"Those people who need help now, really need the help<br />

the most and need it right now and not five years from now,<br />

will get the help," said former fullback Kevin Turner, who<br />

suffers from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's<br />

disease, and was one of the lead plaintiffs. "That is key."<br />

"It is hard to put a dollar figure on ALS or Parkinson's or<br />

dementia and all these things. But if you ask me, I think it is<br />

fair."<br />

<strong>The</strong> lawsuits accused the NFL of concealing the longterm<br />

dangers of concussions while glorifying spectacular hits<br />

on the field.<br />

<strong>The</strong> settlement calls for payouts of up to $5 million for<br />

players suffering from Alzheimer's disease; up to $4 million<br />

for those who died of brain injuries known as chronic traumatic<br />

encephalopathy, or CTE; and up to $3 million for players<br />

suffering from dementia. <strong>The</strong> NFL will also pay for medical<br />

exams and devote $10 million toward medical research.<br />

<strong>The</strong> payments will hardly be a burden to the 32 NFL<br />

teams. <strong>The</strong> league generates close to $10 billion a year in revenue,<br />

and that is certain to rise when new TV contracts are<br />

negotiated in the near future.<br />

Andrew Zimbalist, a sports economist at Smith College in<br />

Northampton, Mass., estimated the settlement will cost the<br />

NFL $45 million a year, or 0.4 percent of current revenue.<br />

"<strong>The</strong> attorneys were under some pressure to deliver a concrete<br />

gain for those players suffering from these diseases,"<br />

Zimbalist said. If not for the settlement, "it's likely the NFL<br />

would litigate for many years before any settlement would<br />

come."<br />

He added: "It is a positive settlement for the former players,<br />

even though it could have been higher."<br />

Or as Hall of Fame linebacker Harry Carson put it, the<br />

NFL "has the resources to sort of stretch things out for years<br />

and years and years. <strong>The</strong> players don't have years and years<br />

and years."<br />

"When I look at the number of players who have had neurological<br />

issues and have passed on," added Carson, who<br />

was not a plaintiff, "I think now of the guys who are just<br />

starting to experience neurological issues. <strong>The</strong>y are going to<br />

be handled more humanely."<br />

It's also a positive public relations move for the NFL just<br />

a week before the season kicks off. <strong>The</strong> last thing the league<br />

wanted was for concussions to remain a front-page story<br />

while games were being played.<br />

Commissioner Roger Goodell can now point to the settlement<br />

and the league's player-safety initiatives as proof that<br />

pro football is dealing forcefully with the issue.<br />

"PR-wise, it allows the league and the players association<br />

and medical experts and the U.S. Army and Harvard to show<br />

how they are coming up with solutions for the future rather<br />

than addressing omissions of the past," said Marc Ganis,<br />

president of SportsCorp, a Chicago-based sports consulting<br />

firm that does business with the league and several teams.<br />

But some former players wonder if their future will be<br />

any brighter as they try to deal with brain disease.<br />

Boyd said he foresees a "bureaucratic nightmare of red<br />

tape" in attempts to get approved for coverage and then<br />

receive treatment. He said he has been diagnosed with earlyonset<br />

dementia and has signs of Alzheimer's disease.<br />

"When I testified before Congress, I spoke of how the<br />

NFL's plan to cover disabilities was to delay, deny, hope they<br />

die," Boyd said.<br />

NFL<br />

ATLANTA (AP) — <strong>The</strong> Atlanta<br />

Falcons waived Brian Banks, the linebacker<br />

who was attempting to make a late<br />

start to his NFL career after spending five<br />

years in prison on a conviction that was<br />

later overturned.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 28-year-old Banks spent five years<br />

in prison and five years on probation following<br />

his conviction of rape and kidnapping<br />

charges a decade ago. <strong>The</strong> woman<br />

who made the charge when Banks was 16<br />

later recanted her accusation.<br />

<strong>The</strong> conviction was overturned by a<br />

California court last year.<br />

Banks had two tackles, including one<br />

for a loss, in the Falcons' 20-16 preseason<br />

loss to Jacksonville on Thursday night. He<br />

was listed as the third-string middle linebacker<br />

and faced an uphill battle to make<br />

the team.<br />

"Brian is a guy that has not played football<br />

in 10 years," Falcons coach Mike<br />

Smith said after Thursday night's game.<br />

"He has really matured and progressed as a<br />

football player since we've had him on our<br />

roster."<br />

WASHINGTON (AP) —<br />

So much for perfect harmony.<br />

Even on a night when the<br />

news is good, Robert Griffin<br />

III and Mike Shanahan can't<br />

sing the same song.<br />

Minutes after the<br />

Washington Redskins quarterback<br />

tweeted to the world that<br />

he was "Cleared for Takeoff"<br />

in his return from major knee<br />

surgery, the coach kept him sitting<br />

on the runway for a least a<br />

few more days, declining to<br />

name Griffin as the Week 1<br />

starter.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is agreement on one<br />

very important matter. On<br />

Thursday night, when the<br />

Redskins were in Florida to<br />

play the Tampa Bay<br />

Buccaneers, Griffin was<br />

cleared to play after being<br />

examined yet again by Dr.<br />

James Andrews, a remarkable<br />

development that comes less<br />

than eight months after he<br />

repaired Griffin's right knee in<br />

January.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n it gets murky. Griffin<br />

celebrated the news by tweeting:<br />

"Operation<br />

Patience....Complete. Cleared.<br />

To God Be <strong>The</strong> Glory."<br />

''Operation Patience" was the<br />

catchphrase Griffin used to<br />

help deal with the frustration<br />

he felt when he was limited in<br />

practice by Shanahan during<br />

training camp and not allowed<br />

to play in preseason games.<br />

Griffin also tweeted a link to a<br />

photo of himself saluting while<br />

wearing his Redskins uniform,<br />

with the caption "Cleared for<br />

Takeoff."<br />

Shanahan held his<br />

postgame news conference and<br />

announced that Andrews did<br />

indeed clear Griffin to play,<br />

but: "<strong>The</strong>re's a couple concerns<br />

that he has. I'll talk to Robert<br />

over the weekend and I'll let<br />

you guys know on Monday."<br />

Shanahan declined to identify<br />

the "concerns" the doctor<br />

supposedly has. Asked directly<br />

whether Griffin would start<br />

against the Philadelphia Eagles<br />

on Sept. 9, Shanahan wouldn't<br />

SPORTS THE CALL C5<br />

Banks, Leinart highlight Friday’s cuts<br />

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis<br />

wants to host the Super Bowl in 2018 after<br />

winning praise for its handling of the<br />

NFL's showcase event in 2012.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>city</strong> notified the NFL of its intentions<br />

Friday ahead of a news conference at<br />

which Gov. Mike Pence, Indianapolis<br />

Mayor Greg Ballard, Indianapolis Colts<br />

owner Jim Irsay and civic leaders made the<br />

decision public at Lucas Oil Stadium, site<br />

of the 2012 Super Bowl.<br />

Banks signed with the Falcons in<br />

March. He said Thursday he faced a different<br />

challenge than most players competing<br />

for roster spots as he tried to make up for<br />

his lost decade.<br />

"My learning curve is definitely different<br />

from a lot of the guys here," Banks<br />

said. "I was learning a lot of the one-onone<br />

basic things of football as well as the<br />

intermediate things of football and meshing<br />

them all together at once in a small<br />

period of time. It was definitely challenging,<br />

but I've enjoyed myself the whole<br />

time."<br />

Banks had tryouts with Kansas City,<br />

San Diego and San Francisco and attended<br />

minicamp with Seattle last year before<br />

spending the 2012 season with Las Vegas<br />

of the United Football League.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Buffalo Bills also released quarterback<br />

Matt Leinart, who joined the Bills on<br />

Sunday as an injury replacement. <strong>The</strong> former<br />

first-round pick struggled in his only<br />

game with the Bills on Thursday night<br />

against Detroit, completing 3 of 10 passes<br />

for 11 yards and two interceptions.<br />

Indianapolis won broad praise for that<br />

effort, drawing hundreds of thousands of<br />

football fans to the <strong>city</strong> amid concerns<br />

about hosting the game and its many festivities<br />

in a "cold weather" location.<br />

Ballard said Friday the 2012 game is still<br />

having benefits for the <strong>city</strong>.<br />

"We are the gold standard on how<br />

Super Bowls are run," Irsay said Friday.<br />

Former Colts player Jeff Saturday<br />

echoed that sentiment, saying that friends<br />

give an answer.<br />

"I'll share that with you on<br />

Monday which direction we're<br />

going," he said.<br />

On the surface, it didn't<br />

make sense. If a doctor has<br />

"concerns," then why clear the<br />

player to play? Andrews himself<br />

seemed to distance himself<br />

from Shanahan's comments on<br />

Friday with a text message to<br />

the Washington Post: "None of<br />

it is true. No concerns."<br />

Nevertheless, the episode<br />

fits the Griffin-Shanahan pattern<br />

that has dominated the<br />

Redskins' world on a weekly<br />

basis since the start of training<br />

camp. Griffin makes a statement;<br />

Shanahan says not-sofast.<br />

It comes off as a power<br />

play between hard-nosed<br />

coach and telegenic franchise<br />

player, with the coach ultimately<br />

reminding everyone<br />

who's in charge.<br />

If there are unspecified<br />

"concerns," they could include<br />

<strong>The</strong> move was the latest setback for<br />

Leinart, a former Heisman Trophy winner.<br />

Leinart has been unable to establish himself<br />

in the NFL following a standout college<br />

career at Southern California. He has<br />

had stints with four different teams over<br />

the past eight years.<br />

Left tackle Max Starks also reached the<br />

end of the road Friday, at least with the San<br />

Diego Chargers.<br />

<strong>After</strong> playing what he called "probably<br />

one of my worst games in my entire<br />

career," Starks was among 11 players cut<br />

by the Chargers.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 10-year veteran allowed three sacks<br />

in a 41-6 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in<br />

Thursday night's exhibition finale.<br />

Starks, who won two Super Bowl rings<br />

with the Pittsburgh Steelers, had already<br />

lost the battle with King Dunlap to protect<br />

quarterback Philip Rivers' blind side,<br />

although rookie coach Mike McCoy hadn't<br />

made it official.<br />

McCoy said Friday that Starks "struggled<br />

a little bit, I think. That's all part of the<br />

business. We're moving <strong>forward</strong>."<br />

Indy announces plans to seek 2018 Super Bowl<br />

on the New York Giants and New England<br />

Patriots, the teams that played in the 2012<br />

game, raved about their experience in the<br />

<strong>city</strong>.<br />

"<strong>The</strong> excitement they had in their voices<br />

really encouraged me that our <strong>city</strong> was<br />

doing it right," Saturday said.<br />

"It doesn't get better than we did it in<br />

Indianapolis" in 2012, he added. "I look<br />

<strong>forward</strong> to 2018 beating the one we did<br />

before."<br />

Redskins’ RG3 is cleared, but the drama goes on<br />

another reminder to Griffin to<br />

protect himself better. <strong>The</strong><br />

multi-threat quarterback missed<br />

all or part of four games last<br />

year due to injuries, and he's<br />

promised this year to do a better<br />

job avoiding contact when<br />

he's running with the ball.<br />

Or the whole thing could<br />

just be a standard coach's ploy<br />

to keep the opposition off balance,<br />

although that would<br />

hardly seem effective in this<br />

game.<br />

NHL<br />

Contract extension leaves Bruins’ Chiarelli ‘appreciative’<br />

By <strong>The</strong> Associated Press<br />

Boston Bruins general manager Peter<br />

Chiarelli has a new contract.<br />

<strong>The</strong> job is the same as it used to<br />

be.<br />

"Our challenges are now at a level<br />

that we compete for the Stanley Cup and we want<br />

to compete for the Stanley Cup every year,"<br />

Chiarelli said Friday. "And it's my mandate, my<br />

charge to do that. ... I am very appreciative to be<br />

here for five more years at least and I look <strong>forward</strong><br />

to this coming season and seasons after."<br />

<strong>The</strong> Bruins signed Chiarelli to a four-year contract<br />

extension on Thursday that would keep him in<br />

Boston through the 2017-18 season. Charlie Jacobs,<br />

the son of owner Jeremy Jacobs, recalled the negotiations<br />

with Chiarelli to bring the then-assistant<br />

GM in Ottawa to Boston in 2006 and said, "We've<br />

come a long way."<br />

"This was a rather easy negotiation," Jacobs<br />

said. "I think it spells a lot about the stability of our<br />

franchise and where we've come from."<br />

Chiarelli, 49, will enter his eighth season with<br />

Boston when training camp opens next month. <strong>The</strong><br />

Bruins have qualified for the playoffs in six of his<br />

first seven years, compiling a 50-35 postseason<br />

Tennis<br />

record while winning the Stanley Cup in 2011 and<br />

returning to the Finals this season.<br />

In all, Boston is 291-187-62 under Chiarelli.<br />

"He's done a fantastic job as a GM since he's<br />

been here and certainly deserves the extension,"<br />

Bruins president Cam Neely said at a news conference<br />

on Friday. "One of the things we talked about<br />

here being the Boston Bruins is, not just making the<br />

postseason but competing for Stanley Cups. We've<br />

been to the Finals twice."<br />

Jacobs said the real vote of confidence came this<br />

summer, when the team signed <strong>forward</strong> Patrice<br />

Bergeron to an eight-year, $52 million contract<br />

extension and gave goaltender Tuukka Rask an<br />

eight-year deal worth about $56 million.<br />

"We committed over $100 million in a matter<br />

of about a week just this summer to two players,"<br />

Jacobs said. "I think that that speaks volumes about<br />

the amount of trust we place in not only Peter but<br />

his hockey operations department and their projections<br />

about how these player personnel will deliver<br />

for us in the future."<br />

Asked what he is proudest of as the Bruins GM,<br />

Chiarelli said it was hiring coach Claude Julien in<br />

2007 and sticking with him -- including 2010, after<br />

the team blew a 3-0 lead in the playoffs against<br />

Philadelphia. Julien's job seemed in jeopardy again<br />

the next year when the Bruins fell behind Montreal<br />

0-2 in the first round of the playoffs.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y went on to win it all.<br />

"He came off of being fired twice and there<br />

were a lot of questions about him," Chiarelli said.<br />

"So, obviously, I knew what he was like -- receptive<br />

to things so he could evolve with the rest of us."<br />

Now they'll have a few more years to work<br />

together to bring the Cup back to Boston. Julien<br />

was signed to an extension of undisclosed length<br />

last summer.<br />

"Stability is really important and significant<br />

when you are delivering these messages," Chiarelli<br />

said, adding that there has to be turnover as well to<br />

guard against complacency. "So there is stability,<br />

there's strong leadership but you have to keep<br />

everybody on their toes, especially in this cap<br />

world.<br />

"So you can be stable and proactive and that is<br />

what I like to think we do as a group."<br />

Also on Friday, the Bruins said their rookie<br />

training camp will start next week and announced<br />

the roster. Among those invited are two goaltenders<br />

who could compete for a backup spot: Malcolm<br />

Subban, the brother of Montreal defenseman P.K.<br />

Subban, and Adam Morrison. Also invited is former<br />

Boston College star Tommy Cross.<br />

Djokovic, Murray pull out second-round victories at U.S. Open<br />

NEW YORK (AP) — Novak Djokovic and<br />

ndy Murray have met in three of the last four<br />

rand Slam finals, though if they play in the<br />

.S. Open this year, it will be in the semis.<br />

Each took a step <strong>forward</strong> Friday, shaky at<br />

oments and sensational in others, in secondound<br />

victories. <strong>The</strong> top-seeded Djokovic<br />

aced two early set points, while defending<br />

hampion Murray had to go four sets.<br />

Leonardo Mayer, ranked 81st, ran Murray<br />

ll over the court, but the third-seeded Brit<br />

xcels at chasing down shots. Murray won the<br />

ast five games for a 7-5, 6-1, 3-6, 6-1 victory.<br />

"He's a big hitter of the ball. I had to defend<br />

lot," Murray said in an on-court interview. "I<br />

hink he played some really, really good tennis.<br />

t made for an entertaining match."<br />

<strong>After</strong> pulling out the first set in a tiebreaker,<br />

jokovic needed less than an hour to close out<br />

is victory. <strong>The</strong> 2011 champion beat 87thanked<br />

Benjamin Becker of Germany 7-6 (2),<br />

-2, 6-2.<br />

Becker had a chance to serve for the first set<br />

gainst Djokovic at 5-4. But he wasted the first<br />

et point with a forehand into the net and the<br />

econd when a backhand sailed wide.<br />

"Becker is a quality opponent and he should<br />

ave won the first set," Djokovic said. "I was<br />

ortunate enough to come back and win the<br />

irst set, and after that, I was much more comortable<br />

on the court."<br />

Djokovic was playing in Arthur Ashe<br />

Stadium, where the wind often swirls to players'<br />

frustration.<br />

"You need to have this adjustment, footwork,<br />

steps, in order to get on the ball,"<br />

Djokovic said. "I didn't have that in the first<br />

set. I was still trying to find my way from<br />

baseline, and the other side he was serving<br />

well. ... <strong>After</strong> I played a good tiebreak, everything<br />

kind of settled. I started to serve better,<br />

started to step into the court, which is important."<br />

Murray was in Louis Armstrong Stadium, a<br />

place that had bedeviled him in the past. Last<br />

year, he was pushed to four tough sets in the<br />

third round and quarterfinals there.<br />

Another Grand Slam winner, Li Na, also<br />

showed some championship form on Ashe.<br />

This time, her opponent, Laura Robson, looked<br />

very much like a teenager.<br />

<strong>The</strong> fifth-seeded Li avenged her third-round<br />

upset loss to the young Brit at last year's U.S.<br />

Open, winning in straight sets at the same<br />

stage at Flushing Meadows.<br />

Li, the 2011 French Open champ, rallied<br />

from down a break in the second set for a 6-2,<br />

7-5 victory.<br />

Li was nervous after she noticed that her<br />

draw was a repeat from last year. A pep talk<br />

from coach Carlos Rodriguez eased her anxiety.<br />

"<strong>After</strong> the talk I was feeling much, much<br />

better," she said. "Because before I never try to<br />

share the feeling with the team."<br />

Australian Open semifinalist Sloane<br />

Stephens, seeded 15th, beat fellow American<br />

Jamie Hampton 6-1, 6-3. Hampton, at No. 23,<br />

was seeded at a Grand Slam tournament for<br />

the first time in her career.<br />

Stephens' next opponent could be defending<br />

champ Serena Williams, who faces Yaroslava<br />

Shvedova in the nightcap at Ashe. It would be<br />

a rematch of their Australian Open quarterfinal,<br />

won by the young American.<br />

Third-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska, No. 9-<br />

seeded Angelique Kerber and No. 9 Jelena<br />

Jankovic all advanced in straight sets.<br />

Wimbledon runner-up Sabine Lisicki, seeded<br />

16th, won't be making a run at Flushing<br />

Meadows after she was eliminated in straight<br />

sets by Ekaterina Makarova. <strong>The</strong> 24th-seeded<br />

Russian won 6-4, 7-5.<br />

A year ago, Robson's upset of Li was the<br />

biggest victory of her breakthrough run.<br />

Meanwhile, it was the third straight frustrating<br />

U.S. Open loss for the Chinese star.<br />

Robson was ranked 89th coming into last<br />

year's tournament. She had never advanced<br />

past the second round at a Grand Slam event<br />

or defeated a top-10 opponent.<br />

That all changed when she upset major<br />

champions Kim Clijsters and Li back-to-back<br />

to make the fourth round. Now 19, Robson<br />

was seeded 30th at Flushing Meadows and<br />

coming off a fourth-round run at Wimbledon.<br />

Li had 34 unforced errors in their match a<br />

year ago, and she lamented then that the free<br />

points lifted the teen's confidence. This time,<br />

Robson never had much of an opening.<br />

"She served very well today and I thought<br />

she was returning really deep," Robson said.<br />

"You know, there wasn't a lot I could do in<br />

some points."<br />

Li surprised herself with 11 aces Friday —<br />

including one on a second serve on match<br />

point — and won all nine points when she<br />

went to the net. She's back in the fourth round<br />

at the U.S. Open for the first time since 2009.<br />

Her run over, Robson now must face an<br />

unfortunate reality for many teens: getting her<br />

wisdom teeth out.<br />

"All the other girls in the locker room are<br />

telling me their horror stories: 'Oh, yeah, I<br />

pulled my gauze out and it was just blood,'"<br />

Robson said. "So that's not too nice."<br />

Fifth-seeded Tomas Berdych beat Denis<br />

Kudla of the U.S. 7-6 (3), 7-6 (3), 6-3.<br />

American Tim Smyczek, ranked 109th,<br />

reached the third round at a Grand Slam tournament<br />

for the first time. He edged 73rdranked<br />

Alex Bogomolov Jr. in five sets, needing<br />

nearly four hours to win 3-6, 7-6 (6), 2-6,<br />

6-4, 6-4.<br />

Mickelson, Davis grab early lead<br />

at Deutsche Bank Championship<br />

Continued from page C1<br />

Kevin Stadler birdied his last four holes for a<br />

64.<br />

Sergio Garcia, Hunter Mahan and Roberto<br />

Castro were in the group at 65. Garcia tends to<br />

skip the Deutsche Bank, but he is No. 55 in the<br />

FedEx Cup, no guarantee of being among the<br />

top 70 who advance to the third playoff event<br />

outside Chicago. Instead, the Spaniard is playing<br />

his fifth straight week.<br />

Rory McIlroy opened with a 70, which he<br />

said was the worst score he could have shot.<br />

It was at the Deutsche Bank Championship<br />

in 2007 when Mickelson first got over the mental<br />

hurdle of playing with Woods, his longtime<br />

nemesis. He said swing coach Butch Harmon,<br />

who formerly worked with Woods, gave him a<br />

few tips about playing with the world's No. 1<br />

player that relaxed Mickelson.<br />

In the 15 rounds they have played together<br />

since, Mickelson has a 9-5-1 advantage in posting<br />

the lower score. He has shot the better score<br />

all five times in the final round, three of those<br />

leading to wins.<br />

Mickelson had said Woods "brings out the<br />

best in me" on Thursday after his pro-am<br />

round. When asked about that again after his<br />

63, Lefty smiled and said, "<strong>After</strong> today, it's hard<br />

to think any differently."<br />

Woods referred to the course as "gettable,"<br />

the same description he gave of Muirfield when<br />

Mickelson shot 66 on the final day to win the<br />

British Open, considered one of the great closing<br />

rounds in a major. That was the case,<br />

though. <strong>The</strong> TPC Boston was soft enough —<br />

and the fairways wide enough — to allow some<br />

low numbers.<br />

Woods said his back felt fine, and there were<br />

no outward indications he was in any pain. <strong>The</strong><br />

only thing that hurt was not hitting enough<br />

shots close for birdie chances, and missing a<br />

few at the end. Woods had a 6-foot birdie putt<br />

on the seventh and a downhill birdie putt from<br />

about 12 feet on his last hole, missing both of<br />

them.<br />

"<strong>The</strong> back is good," Woods said.<br />

"Unfortunately, I didn't give myself a whole lot<br />

of <strong>looks</strong>."<br />

Even though the majors are over, and<br />

Mickelson added a big one at the British Open,<br />

the next month is a great chance for him. For<br />

all his greatness over the last two decades — 42<br />

career wins on the PGA Tour, five majors and a<br />

spot in the Hall of Fame — he came along at<br />

the wrong time. Mickelson has never been<br />

player of the year, No. 1 in the world or tops on<br />

the PGA Tour money list. And he hasn't won<br />

the FedEx Cup, now in its seventh year.<br />

This might be his best chance. Mickelson<br />

feels great, though at 43 he was reminded he<br />

wasn't getting any younger when he went home<br />

to San Diego last week to take his oldest<br />

daughter to high school.<br />

With two wins — one a major — and a runner-up<br />

in the U.S. Open, another win at a<br />

FedEx Cup playoff event might be enough to<br />

get voted PGA Tour player of the year. Woods<br />

has five wins, all of them strong, but failed to<br />

win a major.<br />

"If I finish off with one or two wins this<br />

year, and win the FedEx Cup, I think that<br />

would be enough to get the player of the year,"<br />

he said. "My game clicked again last week, and<br />

I feel like these next three weeks I'm going to<br />

play very well. I can just feel it. You can just<br />

tell sometimes. <strong>The</strong> game feels sharp. And<br />

mentally, I have a lot of energy and I'm able to<br />

focus clearly. And that's usually when you play<br />

well."<br />

in the U.S. have<br />

increased 700 percent since<br />

1950. And all sides would<br />

agree that these calamities are<br />

deeply affecting people and<br />

businesses across North<br />

America.<br />

One of the industries inexorably<br />

tied to this decadeslong<br />

trend is insurance, which<br />

is entrusted with financially<br />

protecting consumers from<br />

the after-effects of wicked<br />

weather and natural catastrophes.<br />

While disasters can't be<br />

prevented, people and businesses<br />

can certainly be prepared<br />

in terms of their insurance<br />

coverage, according to<br />

Doug Menges, chief claims<br />

officer for Mercury Insurance<br />

Group, which provides homeowners<br />

and/or auto insurance<br />

in regularly ravaged states,<br />

such as California, Florida,<br />

Arizona, New Jersey,<br />

Oklahoma and Texas.<br />

"All of the weather-related<br />

chaos over the last few years<br />

has caused many policyholders<br />

to re-evaluate their insurance<br />

coverage and purchase<br />

lower deductibles. <strong>The</strong>y're<br />

willing to pay more to protect<br />

their belongings," says<br />

Menges. "In lieu of being<br />

price sensitive, many consumers<br />

are becoming more<br />

and more coverage sensitive.<br />

"No matter the level of<br />

coverage, though, it's incumbent<br />

upon everybody to be<br />

prepared ... before disaster<br />

strikes. <strong>The</strong>re are some simple<br />

precautions everyone<br />

should be aware of that could<br />

help you weather the storm."<br />

Menges offers these<br />

"before and after" insurance<br />

tips:<br />

* Know what is covered<br />

and not covered. Review<br />

home and auto policies with<br />

an insurance agent who's<br />

familiar with local severe<br />

weather conditions before<br />

tragedy strikes.<br />

* Catalog property.<br />

Document belongings by taking<br />

photos or video of your<br />

home and possessions, store<br />

them in a secure place (like a<br />

password-protected portable<br />

hard drive or online storage<br />

site) and place backup copies<br />

in an off-site location. "This<br />

will expedite your claims<br />

process," says Menges.<br />

* Develop an evacuation<br />

plan. This should be part of a<br />

more comprehensive family<br />

emergency strategy that<br />

incorporates out-of-town<br />

contacts, emergency phone<br />

numbers, Social Security<br />

numbers, community evacuation<br />

meeting sites,<br />

doctor/pharmacist contacts,<br />

and homeowners/rental insurance<br />

policy numbers and<br />

phone numbers that can be<br />

printed on wallet-sized cards<br />

or stored in a smartphone.<br />

* Contact your insurer<br />

immediately to report an<br />

auto or home loss. Do not<br />

remove any debris or damaged<br />

property that may be<br />

related to your claim.<br />

Menges says smart policyholders<br />

should be ready to<br />

provide all pertinent information,<br />

including a policy<br />

number, as well as date and<br />

time of the loss.<br />

* Prepare a detailed<br />

inventory of destroyed or<br />

damaged property. Provide<br />

photos or videos of your<br />

home and possessions to<br />

your claims adjuster. Keep<br />

records and receipts for<br />

additional living expenses<br />

that were incurred if you<br />

were forced to leave your<br />

home and provide copies to<br />

your adjuster.<br />

(BPT) — Chances are you've thought about<br />

adding a splash of color to the exterior of your<br />

home, and you're not the only one. Many people<br />

have the same idea, but they don't act because<br />

they're worried they will choose poorly. Selecting<br />

the wrong color for your home's exterior isn't<br />

only costly, it's embarrassing as well.<br />

"Many homeowners are afraid to add color to<br />

their home's exterior because they don't want to<br />

make a mistake," says Sensational Color's Kate<br />

Smith, Color Marketing Group (CMG), a career<br />

color trend forecaster. "Especially when people<br />

look at the style of their homes, they can become<br />

confused by what colors will enhance their exteriors."<br />

One common mistake homeowners make<br />

when seeking to add color to their home's exterior<br />

is they fail to identify a full color palette. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

set out to choose that perfect color for their home<br />

without thinking about how it will interact with<br />

the newly-installed window frames or new roof.<br />

Smith says the selection of your main color<br />

should take into account the colors of fixed features<br />

related to your home, such as the brick,<br />

stone or stucco found on your foundation, porch<br />

or walkway. Selecting color options for the trim,<br />

shutters and the front door should only come<br />

after the main color has been selected.<br />

All of this may sound daunting, but Smith<br />

says the key is to follow the process. If you're<br />

ready to take the opportunity and make your<br />

home the most envied on the block, a new, 36-<br />

page free ebook, titled "FRESH Color Schemes<br />

(BPT) — <strong>The</strong><br />

Environmental Protection<br />

Agency has named indoor<br />

air quality as one of the top<br />

five environmental risks to<br />

public health citing research<br />

that indoor air may be up to<br />

100 times more polluted<br />

than the air outside. With<br />

Americans spending 90 percent<br />

of their time indoors,<br />

purifying indoor air is paramount<br />

to keeping families<br />

healthy - especially those<br />

with family members suffering<br />

from asthma and allergies.<br />

"Poor indoor air quality<br />

has been linked to a host of<br />

health issues such as<br />

headaches, dry eyes, nasal<br />

congestion, nausea, fatigue,<br />

heart disease and chronic<br />

respiratory disease," says<br />

Chris Chase, product marketing<br />

manager at Aprilaire.<br />

"For individuals that suffer<br />

from asthma or allergies, air<br />

particles such as pollen, dust<br />

and dust mites are known<br />

triggers for asthma attacks<br />

and allergic reactions."<br />

More than 25 million<br />

Americans have been diagnosed<br />

with asthma and 50<br />

million suffer from allergies.<br />

Dust alone is comprised of<br />

dead insects, dust mites,<br />

mold spores, pollen, dander,<br />

skin flakes and other particulates<br />

that can be harmful to<br />

health. Controlling indoor<br />

air quality can provide relief<br />

for asthma and allergy sufferers<br />

and protect your family<br />

from getting sick. You can<br />

improve indoor air quality<br />

with two simple steps:<br />

* Prevent irritants from<br />

measures to make sure dust,<br />

dirt and other pollutants are<br />

prevented from entering the<br />

house. Simple activities like<br />

removing shoes before<br />

high pollen days and not<br />

Energize your home’s<br />

for Your Home Exterior," can help.<br />

In this free guide, author Smith advocates for<br />

taking a "top down" approach to adding eyepleasing<br />

color palettes to the home exterior. She<br />

says people who are interested in making a color<br />

change to their exterior should start with the roof<br />

color and work their way down, taking into<br />

allowing smoking indoors<br />

help keep dirt and other irritants<br />

from entering the<br />

household.<br />

* Install a whole-home<br />

whole-home air purification<br />

system is installed as part of<br />

<strong>The</strong> ebook includes specific tips for home<br />

styles including: ranch, colonial, bungalow,<br />

Victorian, Spanish mission, European and new<br />

American homes. Smith provides several color<br />

combinations for each home style as well as tips<br />

for making the homes complement their neighborhoods.<br />

"One of the hottest trends in the marketplace<br />

right now is to 'shake up' home exteriors with<br />

color," says Smith. "This tutorial provides guidance<br />

on understanding the home's exterior features<br />

and playing off them with color accents."<br />

Smith created the guide in collaboration with<br />

several building manufacturers including:<br />

DaVinci Roofscapes, Fypon, Simonton Windows<br />

and <strong>The</strong>rma-Tru. You can access the ebook<br />

through these company web sites or through<br />

Smith's website sensationalcolor.com.<br />

"No homeowner should feel locked into blah<br />

or standard colors on their home's exterior," says<br />

Smith. "A shake or slate polymer roof can have<br />

an appealing blend of colors, such as browns and<br />

autumn tones. Low-maintenance vinyl window<br />

frames and grids come in pine green, chocolate<br />

and even brick red to add pizzazz to the home.<br />

And, homeowners can create a welcoming front<br />

entrance by painting a fiberglass door a striking<br />

accent color. Tie that all together with painted<br />

urethane trim pieces that add the 'icing on the<br />

cake' for the home and you can really make a<br />

home more appealing with coordinated colors."<br />

D2 THE CALL FAITH<br />

Saturday, August 31, 2013<br />

St. Simeon Stylites: A different kind of saint<br />

God has called all of us to<br />

ecome saints. <strong>The</strong>re are many<br />

ifferent kinds of saints. Many<br />

ooks have been written about the<br />

ives of saints and their different<br />

tyles.<br />

<strong>The</strong> lives of saints are very<br />

nteresting and can be an example<br />

or us who are on the way to holiess.<br />

One important fact, however,<br />

s that we are not called to be caron<br />

copies of any saint but rather<br />

od calls each one of us to fully<br />

ctualize the person He created us<br />

o be. We can have favorite saints,<br />

or example I particularly like St.<br />

eresa of Avila and Mother<br />

lizabeth Seton. But I am called to<br />

e the fulfillment of what God creted<br />

Edward St-Godard to be.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re have been saints who<br />

were popes, saints who were nuns,<br />

saints who gave up their lives for<br />

Christ, saints who inspired us, and<br />

even saints who were a bit strange.<br />

Such is the saint we celebrate<br />

tomorrow, Sunday, Sept.1.<br />

Saint Simeon Stylites is honored<br />

in the Greek Orthodox and<br />

Russian Orthodox Churches.<br />

Tomorrow, by the way, happens to<br />

be the beginning of the Orthodox<br />

Liturgical Year. It is also the Feast<br />

day of Simeon and his mother<br />

Martha.<br />

Simeon, whose father was a<br />

shepherd in the area between Syria<br />

and Cilicia, was born in 390AD<br />

and died in 459. He became a hermit<br />

and spent most of his life on<br />

REV. EDWARD<br />

ST-GODARD<br />

top of stone pillars,<br />

strange as it<br />

may seem.<br />

Simeon was<br />

the object of<br />

great veneration<br />

during his lifetime.<br />

Previous to<br />

his pillar life he<br />

had lived in a<br />

monastery where<br />

he was dismissed<br />

because<br />

of his excessive penances. He<br />

went to another monastery where<br />

he refused to eat during Lent and<br />

was unconscious by the time<br />

Easter arrived.<br />

As a third resort he lived as a<br />

hermit on the top of a mountain<br />

where he chained himself to a rock<br />

until ordered to break the chain by<br />

the Syrian Patriarch.<br />

Thus far, I think you would<br />

agree that Simeon had a strange<br />

lifestyle, but it would get worse.<br />

Out of curiosity so many people<br />

came to visit him that he decided<br />

the best way to get solitude was to<br />

live on the top of a pillar. He was<br />

somewhat reasonable in his choice<br />

of the first pillar, which was nine<br />

feet tall and six feet wide. He<br />

lived there for a period of four<br />

years, but people still came.<br />

Pillar number two, would be 18<br />

feet tall and he lived there for<br />

three years. <strong>The</strong> third pillar was<br />

thirty-three feet tall and he lived<br />

there for 10 years.<br />

By then the people had gotten<br />

used to his ways and helped him<br />

to build his final pillar, which was<br />

60 feet tall, and there he spent the<br />

rest of his life.<br />

Certainly, his lifestyle was<br />

strange. However, he drew not<br />

only Christians but people of all<br />

backgrounds to listen to his sermons,<br />

which were given twice<br />

each day.<br />

His homilies were very practical.<br />

He spoke about different types<br />

of prayer, the need for justice in<br />

society, and the theology of Jesus<br />

Christ. <strong>After</strong> his death he was<br />

buried in Antioch.<br />

Even though he is honored by<br />

the Orthodox, his feast day is not<br />

on the Catholic calendar.<br />

Do what you can and God will do the rest<br />

It was early afternoon at the beach<br />

nd my youngest daughter was shoeess<br />

in the sand, as she ran to the<br />

djoining playground. "Ouch, the<br />

and is hot, mommy," she said. I was<br />

ight next to her wearing flip-flops<br />

nd immediately, I picked her up and<br />

ropped her up on my hip. As I was<br />

arrying my daughter to the swings, I<br />

ound myself leaning to one side.<br />

When we got to the playground, I<br />

laced her on the tire swing and<br />

egan to push her back and forth. My<br />

aughter's golden-brown curly hair<br />

wayed in the breeze, and I recalled a<br />

arrative I once heard. It was about a<br />

ountry minister who continually<br />

rayed, "Lord, prop us up on our<br />

eaning side." <strong>After</strong> hearing him utter<br />

hat prayer countless times, a memer<br />

of his congregation decided to<br />

sk him about it.<br />

One day after their Sunday servics,<br />

the two exchanged greetings.<br />

Minister, why do you pray Lord,<br />

rop us up on our leaning side?" the<br />

ember questioned. <strong>The</strong>re was<br />

ilence for a moment, and the miniser<br />

replied, "Well, I have a barn in<br />

he back of my house." He pointed<br />

ut into the distance. "It has been<br />

here a long time. It has withstood<br />

dverse weather. It has gone through<br />

lot of storms. Yet, it is still standng."<br />

Interested, the congregation memer<br />

listened carefully, as the minister<br />

A new<br />

You<br />

CATHERINE<br />

GALASSO-VIGORITO<br />

explained, "But<br />

one day, I noticed<br />

the barn was leaning<br />

to one side. I<br />

got some poles<br />

and propped it up<br />

on its leaning side,<br />

so it wouldn't fall.<br />

Looking at that<br />

shelter, I started to<br />

think about how<br />

much I was like<br />

that barn. I have<br />

been around for a<br />

long time. I've<br />

withstood difficulties.<br />

I have<br />

endured hard times and many of<br />

life's storms. Nevertheless, I'm still<br />

standing, too. So, when I find myself<br />

leaning to one side, I pray and ask<br />

the Lord to prop me up on my leaning<br />

side so I can stand strong again."<br />

What are you leaning toward<br />

today? God has given you dreams<br />

and goals for your future. He has<br />

placed wonderful aspirations in your<br />

heart.<br />

But challenges may have pushed<br />

you down. Now, is your mind filled<br />

with doubts? Are you leaning toward<br />

thoughts of 'I'm not good enough' or<br />

'I can't'?<br />

I read that when Michelangelo<br />

was commissioned to paint the ceiling<br />

of the Sistine Chapel, he was<br />

leaning toward despondency.<br />

Since he was a sculptor by trade,<br />

he didn't think he had the experience<br />

to paint frescos and felt taking on<br />

the endeavor would set him up for<br />

ridicule. Yet, the artist was devoted<br />

to God; and with steadfast faith, he<br />

put aside thoughts of hopelessness<br />

and began the project.<br />

Michelangelo's masterpiece is one<br />

of the greatest painted works in history.<br />

So replace, 'I can't' thoughts<br />

with 'I can' and persevere. You can<br />

fulfill your highest potential.<br />

Have you made mistakes? Are<br />

you leaning toward defeat? Og<br />

Mandino became addicted to drinking<br />

and was unable to hold a job to<br />

support his young family. Finally,<br />

his wife had had enough, and she<br />

took their child and left him.<br />

Mandino was jobless, homeless and<br />

spent numerous drunken nights in<br />

gutters.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n, one cold morning, Mandino<br />

was leaning toward suicide. To stay<br />

warm, he entered a public library<br />

and began reading and searching,<br />

asking himself, "Is it too late for<br />

me?"<br />

Motivational books and the Bible<br />

inspired him so much that he was<br />

determined to heal past hurts and<br />

turn his life around. And he did.<br />

Mandino remarried, had a loving<br />

family, and found tremendous career<br />

success authoring 17 books, giving<br />

speeches all over the world, and positively<br />

influencing and motivating<br />

millions to achieve success and happiness.<br />

God's mercy is new every morning.<br />

Thus, you can begin again.<br />

Perhaps you're convinced you<br />

don't have the talents, resources or<br />

the right background to succeed. Are<br />

you leaning toward just settling for<br />

less than what you really desire?<br />

Raised by a hardworking, single<br />

mother, young Ben struggled in<br />

school, was made fun of by his<br />

classmates, and leaned toward wrath.<br />

However, his mother taught him to<br />

have faith in God and to believe in<br />

himself.<br />

She shared the values needed to<br />

succeed and encouraged him to read<br />

books, as a method for obtaining<br />

knowledge. Ben then was determined<br />

not to allow his circumstances<br />

to weigh him down or to see himself<br />

as a victim.<br />

He followed his dream <strong>forward</strong>,<br />

and Dr. Ben Carson became a worldrenowned<br />

neurosurgeon serving<br />

humanity. "Do your best and let God<br />

do the rest," he said.<br />

No matter how many times you<br />

may have been pushed down, don't<br />

quit. Pick yourself up and try again.<br />

This is not the time to stop trying. In<br />

fact, it's the time to try harder. For<br />

success is in your future.<br />

Teen guilty of murdering Georgia baby in stroller<br />

KATE BRUMBAC<br />

Associated Press<br />

MARIETTA, Ga. — An 18-<br />

ear-old man was convicted of murer<br />

in the shooting of a baby who<br />

as riding in a stroller alongside his<br />

om in a town in coastal Georgia<br />

espite the defense's attempt to cast<br />

uilt upon several others, including<br />

he child's parents.<br />

Jurors deliberated about two<br />

ours before finding De'Marquise<br />

lkins guilty of 11 counts, including<br />

wo counts of felony murder and<br />

ne count of malice murder in the<br />

arch 21 killing of 13-month-old<br />

ntonio Santiago in Brunswick. <strong>The</strong><br />

an's mother, Karimah Elkins, was<br />

n trial alongside him and was<br />

ound guilty of tampering with evience<br />

but acquitted of lying to<br />

olice.<br />

De'Marquise Elkins faces life in<br />

prison when he is sentenced at a<br />

later date. At the time of the shooting<br />

he was 17, too young to face the<br />

death penalty under Georgia law.<br />

His lead defense attorney, public<br />

defender Kevin Gough, vowed to<br />

appeal the verdict. A judge denied<br />

his request for the teen to be out on<br />

bond during the appeal.<br />

"Marky Elkins and his family are<br />

confident that he will receive another<br />

trial in which he will be able to<br />

present fully his defense," Gough<br />

said. "Mr. Elkins will eventually be<br />

exonerated."<br />

Karimah Elkins' attorney, Wrix<br />

McIlvaine, said he would talk to his<br />

client and that they would likely<br />

appeal.<br />

Sherry West testified that she was<br />

walking home from the post office<br />

with her son the morning of the<br />

killing. A gunman demanding her<br />

purse, shot her in the leg and shot<br />

her baby in the face after she told<br />

him she had no money, she said.<br />

Prosecutors, who declined comment<br />

after the verdict, said during<br />

two-week trial that De'Marquise<br />

Elkins and an accomplice, 15-yearold<br />

Dominique Lang, are the ones<br />

who stopped West. Prosecutors say<br />

the older teen pointed a small .22-<br />

caliber revolver at West and<br />

demanded money. When West<br />

refused several times to turn over<br />

the money, Elkins fired a warning<br />

shot, shot the woman in the leg and<br />

the baby between the eyes, prosecutors<br />

said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> killing in the port <strong>city</strong> of<br />

Brunswick drew national attention,<br />

and the trial was moved to the<br />

Atlanta suburb of Marietta owing to<br />

extensive publi<strong>city</strong> locally.<br />

Prosecutors have said information<br />

from Elkins' mother and sister<br />

led investigators to a pond where<br />

they found the revolver. Elkins' sister<br />

also was charged with evidence<br />

tampering.<br />

Lang, who was a key prosecution<br />

witness in Elkins' trial, is set to go to<br />

trial at a later date.<br />

West told <strong>The</strong> Associated Press<br />

that she didn't want to say too much<br />

following the verdict because there<br />

are still other trials pending in the<br />

case and she will be a witness and<br />

she will testify at Elkins' sentencing.<br />

"I knew why I was there and I<br />

knew that I didn't have my baby<br />

anymore," she said. "In the beginning<br />

I was in shock. Now things are<br />

kind of really setting in. But I'm<br />

hanging in there."<br />

West spent hours on the stand<br />

during the trial and was grilled by<br />

the defense on her personal and<br />

medical history.<br />

"I was a little nervous up on the<br />

stand and just being asked so many<br />

personal questions by the defense<br />

attorney," she said in a telephone<br />

interview. "It was embarrassing."<br />

<strong>The</strong> defense tried throughout the<br />

trial to prove that the investigation<br />

was flawed and that police refused<br />

to consider other leads or investigate<br />

further once they had Elkins in<br />

custody the day after the killing<br />

"<strong>The</strong>y finished their case in 25<br />

hours. Everything else they did after<br />

that they just sugarcoated,"<br />

Lockwood said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> prosecution's witnesses —<br />

many with criminal histories and<br />

some drug users — lied repeatedly<br />

and changed their stories throughout<br />

the investigation, Lockwood<br />

said.<br />
