RI Treasurer<br />

gives money<br />

tips to seniors<br />

By DONNA KENNY KIRWAN<br />

dirwan@pawtuckettimes.com<br />

PAWTUCKET — On Friday,<br />

General Treasurer Gina Raimondo visited<br />

the Leon Mathieu Senior Center to<br />

share some tips in how to avoid becoming<br />

a victim <strong>of</strong> financial scams.<br />

<strong>The</strong> visit was part <strong>of</strong> Raimondo's<br />

“Smart Money Tour,” which she<br />

recently extended to include some<br />

farmer's markets and senior centers<br />

throughout Rhode Island. In addition to<br />

giving advice on how to avoid some <strong>of</strong><br />

the more popular money scams,<br />

Raimondo spoke <strong>of</strong> how to find<br />

unclaimed property and the importance<br />

<strong>of</strong> personal financial management.<br />

<strong>The</strong> treasurer urged seniors to be<br />

aware <strong>of</strong> fees on their bank accounts,<br />

such as overdraft fees. “Always read<br />

the fine print,” she warned.<br />

Raimondo also urged the seniors to<br />

sign petitions to ban so-called “payday”<br />

lending businesses.<br />

“We need to get the General Assembly<br />

to pass a law against this,” she said,<br />

promising to address this matter in the<br />

next session <strong>of</strong> the General Assembly.<br />

“I'm not going away,” she said.<br />

Anesthesiologist accused <strong>of</strong><br />

overprescribing painkillers<br />

LINCOLN – “Reckless,”<br />

“dangerous” and “substantially<br />

below the standard <strong>of</strong> care” are<br />

some <strong>of</strong> the terms health <strong>of</strong>ficials<br />

are using to describe the<br />

prescribing practices <strong>of</strong> a local<br />

<strong>doctor</strong> whose medical license<br />

was <strong>suspended</strong> Thursday by the<br />

Board <strong>of</strong> Medical Licensure and<br />

Discipline.<br />

A “<strong>pattern</strong> <strong>of</strong> fatal opiate<br />

overdoses in patients” under the<br />

care <strong>of</strong> Dr. Fathalla Mashali<br />

prompted the board to conduct<br />

the investigation that led to his<br />

suspension, according to papers<br />

released by the board.<br />

His specialty is anesthesiology.<br />

Because the <strong>deaths</strong> involved<br />

hired an outside pain management<br />

physician to review the<br />

records in the <strong>deaths</strong> <strong>of</strong> six<br />

patients under Mashali’s care,<br />

referred to as Patients A through<br />

F in the suspension order. In<br />

more than one case, the reviewer<br />

said Mashali had overprescribed<br />

painkilling narcotics to his<br />

patients despite clear indications<br />

that they were abusing drugs,<br />

including cocaine.<br />

support for US<br />

strikes on Syria<br />

LARA JAKES<br />

AP National Security Writer<br />

WASHINGTON — President Barack<br />

Obama is poised to become the first U.S.<br />

leader in three decades to attack a foreign<br />

nation without mustering broad international<br />

support or acting in direct defense <strong>of</strong><br />

Americans.<br />

Not since 1983, when President Ronald<br />

Reagan ordered an invasion <strong>of</strong> the Caribbean<br />

island <strong>of</strong> Grenada, has the U.S. been so alone<br />

in pursing major lethal military action beyond<br />

a few attacks responding to strikes or threats<br />

against its citizens.<br />

It's a policy turnabout for Obama, a<br />

Democrat who took <strong>of</strong>fice promising to limit<br />

U.S. military intervention and, as a candidate,<br />

said the president "does not have power under<br />

the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a<br />

military attack in a situation that does not<br />

involve stopping an actual or imminent threat<br />

to the nation."<br />

But over the last year Obama has warned<br />

“Of all the questionable<br />

behaviors demonstrated by<br />

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

his continuing to prescribe<br />

reviewer said. “In the course<br />

<strong>of</strong> forty days...a total <strong>of</strong> 312<br />

Adderall 30 mg pills were<br />

prescribed.<br />

“In my opinion, it can be<br />

stated with a reasonable<br />

degree <strong>of</strong> medical certainty<br />

that the medical care provided<br />

by (Mashali) was substantially<br />

below the standard <strong>of</strong><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 <strong>of</strong> a prescribed drug or<br />

that there was evidence <strong>of</strong><br />

non-prescribed substances in<br />

her system. Nevertheless,<br />

Mashali prescribed her a<br />

month’s worth <strong>of</strong> opioid<br />

medication at a time.<br />

Syrian President Bashar<br />

Assad that his government's<br />

use <strong>of</strong> chemical weapons in<br />

its two-year civil war would<br />

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

the spring <strong>of</strong> 2011, about<br />

four months <strong>after</strong> Mashali<br />

accepted him as a patient,<br />

with three different kinds <strong>of</strong><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<br />

any pain clinician (or any<br />

clinician <strong>of</strong> any specialty)<br />

would 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 />

with financial expertise are<br />

available to speak one-onone<br />

with seniors, by request,<br />

to help them better manage<br />

their personal finances.<br />

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

partnering with my <strong>of</strong>fice to<br />

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

<strong>The</strong>y will sit down<br />

with you and show you how<br />

you can improve your credit,<br />

build a budget and manage<br />

exploitation <strong>of</strong> that power as<br />

commander in chief — you<br />

have to make a very, very<br />

strong case for the clear and<br />

gathering danger argument to<br />

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

Brower said Friday.<br />

Obama is expected to<br />

launch what <strong>of</strong>ficials have<br />

described as a limited strike<br />

— probably with Tomahawk<br />

cruise missiles — against<br />

Assad's forces.<br />

Two days <strong>after</strong> the suspected<br />

chemicals weapons<br />

attack in Damascus suburbs,<br />

Obama told CNN, "If the<br />

U.S. goes in and attacks<br />

another country without a<br />

U.N. mandate and without<br />

clear evidence that can be<br />

presented, then there are<br />

questions in terms <strong>of</strong> whether<br />

international law supports it;<br />

do we have the coalition to<br />

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

"Those are considerations<br />

that we have to take into<br />

account."<br />

Lawmakers briefed on the<br />

plans have indicated an<br />

attack is all but certain. And<br />

Obama advisers said the<br />

president was prepared to<br />

strike unilaterally, though<br />

France has said it is ready to<br />

commit forces to an operation<br />

in Syria because the use<br />

<strong>of</strong> 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<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 <strong>of</strong> Mashali’s<br />

patients – Patient E, a female<br />

– initially came to him for<br />

Suboxone, a drug used to<br />

wean addicts <strong>of</strong>f heroin. She<br />

died in the fall <strong>of</strong> 2012 with<br />

a cocktail <strong>of</strong> 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 />

debt,” Raimondo said.<br />

Raimondo gave the example<br />

<strong>of</strong> a woman whose husband<br />

had recently died and<br />

left her in good financial<br />

shape, except that she did not<br />

know how to manage her<br />

money. A financial coach<br />

“showed this woman how<br />

she could re-finance her<br />

mortgage and save about<br />

$300 a month,” she said.<br />

a 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<br />

vote Thursday endorsing military<br />

action in Syria. And<br />

diplomats with the 22-nation<br />

Arab League said the organization<br />

does not support military<br />

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

an action that Russia<br />

would almost certainly block.<br />

<strong>The</strong> diplomats spoke anonymously<br />

because <strong>of</strong> rules preventing<br />

them from being<br />

identified.<br />

"Presidents always need to<br />

be prepared to go at it alone,"<br />

said Rudy deLeon, who was<br />

a senior Defense Department<br />

<strong>of</strong>ficial in the Clinton administration.<br />

"<strong>The</strong> uninhibited use <strong>of</strong><br />

the chemical weapons is out<br />

there, and that's a real problem,"<br />

said deLeon, now senior<br />

vice president <strong>of</strong> security<br />

and international policy at<br />

the liberal-leaning Center for<br />

American Progress in<br />

Washington. "It can't be<br />

ignored, and it certainly creates<br />

a dilemma. I think<br />

(Obama) had to make the<br />

red-line comment, and so<br />

Syria has acted in a very irresponsible<br />

way."<br />

<strong>The</strong> nearly nine-year war<br />

in Iraq that began in 2003,<br />

which Obama termed "dumb"<br />

because it was based on false<br />

intelligence, has encouraged<br />

global skittishness about<br />

Western military intervention<br />

in the Mideast. "<strong>The</strong>re's no<br />

doubt that the intelligence on<br />

Iraq is still on everybody's<br />

mind," deLeon said.<br />

Both Republican George<br />

H.W. Bush and Democrat<br />

Bill Clinton had U.N.<br />

approval for nearly all <strong>of</strong><br />

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

said, can provide valuable<br />

knowledge in all aspects <strong>of</strong><br />

money management, including<br />

re-financing <strong>of</strong> a mortgage.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y talk about economic<br />

development. This is<br />

economic development...helping<br />

one person out <strong>of</strong> debt at<br />

a time.”<br />

Kristen Rojas, a vice president<br />

with <strong>Pawtucket</strong> Credit<br />

their attacks on Iraq years<br />

earlier. Even 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 />

so-called coalition <strong>of</strong> the<br />

willing. Four nations — the<br />

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

Poland — participated in the<br />

invasion.<br />

<strong>The</strong> U.S. has relied on<br />

NATO at least three times to<br />

give it broad foreign support<br />

for military missions: in<br />

bombarding Bosnia in 1994<br />

and 1995, attacking Kosovo<br />

with airstrikes in 1999 and<br />

invading Afghanistan in<br />

2001.<br />

Only a few times has the<br />

U.S. acted unilaterally —<br />

and only then to respond to<br />

attacks or direct threats<br />

against Americans.<br />

In 1986, Reagan joined<br />

ordered airstrikes on Libya to<br />

punish then-leader Moammar<br />

Gadhafi for the bombing <strong>of</strong> a<br />

Berlin dance club that killed<br />

two U.S soldiers and wounded<br />

79 other Americans.<br />

Three years later, George<br />

H.W. Bush invaded Panama<br />

<strong>after</strong> dictator Manuel<br />

Noriega declared war on the<br />

U.S. when his drug-trafficking<br />

regime was slapped with<br />

crippling American sanctions.<br />

<strong>The</strong> invasion began<br />

four days <strong>after</strong> a U.S. Marine<br />

was killed in a shooting in<br />

Panama City.<br />

Clinton ordered a missile<br />

strike against Iraq in 1993 as<br />

payback for an assassination<br />

against the elder Bush. And in<br />

1998, Clinton attacked al-<br />

Qaida bases in Sudan and<br />

Afghanistan to retaliate against<br />

U.S. Embassy bombings in<br />

Kenya and Tanzania that killed<br />

more than 200 people.<br />

review said, “In my opinion,<br />

this standard <strong>of</strong> care would<br />

place any patient at risk.”<br />

Patient F, also a female,<br />

died in 2011 with ethyl alcohol,<br />

the painkiller fentanyl and<br />

other drugs in her system. <strong>The</strong><br />

reviewer said the case was<br />

“particularly disturbing”<br />

because the woman had a long<br />

history <strong>of</strong> opioid, cocaine and<br />

alcohol abuse. Despite<br />

Mashali’s awareness <strong>of</strong> her<br />

history <strong>of</strong> abuse and repeated<br />

stints in rehab, “he continued<br />

to give increased doses <strong>of</strong> opioids<br />

<strong>of</strong>ten for a month’s worth<br />

<strong>of</strong> pills at a time.”<br />

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

arm <strong>of</strong> the state Department<br />

<strong>of</strong> Health, <strong>suspended</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong><br />

the public.” Mashali, who<br />

has retained a lawyer,<br />

according to health <strong>of</strong>ficials,<br />

is entitled to an administrative<br />

hearing within 10 days<br />

to seek the repeal or amendment<br />

<strong>of</strong> the order.<br />

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

instructed Mashali to make<br />

arrangements for the continued<br />

care <strong>of</strong> his patients with<br />

a properly licensed physician.<br />

Union, was one <strong>of</strong> these volunteers,<br />

Obama approved the 2011<br />

raid that killed Osama bin<br />

Laden, who had been considered<br />

a threat potentially<br />

going back to the 1996<br />

bombing <strong>of</strong> the Khobar<br />

Towers in Saudi Arabia that<br />

killed 19 U.S. troops living<br />

there. Additionally, the U.S.<br />

has launched hundreds <strong>of</strong><br />

deadly drone strikes on suspected<br />

al-Qaida havens,<br />

mostly in Pakistan,<br />

Afghanistan and Yemen during<br />

the presidencies <strong>of</strong><br />

Obama and George W. Bush.<br />

All other major U.S. military<br />

attacks since the 1983<br />

Grenada invasion have been<br />

sanctioned by the United<br />

Nations. That includes the<br />

2011 missile strikes that<br />

Obama ordered against Libya<br />

as part <strong>of</strong> a coalition to protect<br />

that nation's citizens by<br />

enforcing a no-fly zone<br />

against Gadhafi forces.<br />

Even the Grenada invasion<br />

had some international<br />

support. Six Caribbean island<br />

countries asked for U.S.<br />

intervention, which the<br />

Reagan administration said<br />

was legal under the charter<br />

<strong>of</strong> the Organization <strong>of</strong><br />

American States. But the<br />

invasion was roundly criticized<br />

by Britain, Canada and<br />

the U.N.<br />

Making the case Friday for<br />

the strikes, Secretary <strong>of</strong> State<br />

John Kerry noted that Turkey,<br />

France and Australia have<br />

condemned the suspected<br />

chemical attacks and said "we<br />

are not alone in our will to do<br />

something about it and to act."<br />

"As previous storms in<br />

history have gathered, when<br />

unspeakable crimes were<br />

within our power to stop<br />

them, we have been warned<br />

against the temptations <strong>of</strong><br />

looking the other way,"<br />

Kerry said. "History is full <strong>of</strong><br />

leaders who have warned<br />

against inaction, indifference<br />

and especially against silence<br />

when it mattered most."<br />

He added: "It matters here<br />

if nothing is done. It matters<br />

if the world speaks out in<br />

condemnation and then nothing<br />

happens."<br />

Some lawmakers in<br />

Obama's party hedged in<br />

supporting an attack with little<br />

foreign backup.<br />

"<strong>The</strong> impact <strong>of</strong> such a<br />

strike would be weakened if<br />

it does not have the participation<br />

and support <strong>of</strong> a large<br />

number <strong>of</strong> nations, including<br />

Arab nations," Senate Armed<br />

Services chairman Carl<br />

Levin, a Democrat, said.<br />

After bash, city looks forward<br />

Organizers<br />

hope to build<br />

on success<br />

By JOSEPH B. NADEAU<br />

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

ity’s Main Street business<br />

istrict was largely back to<br />

ormal routines on Friday<br />

nd someone would have to<br />

ave been at the big Block<br />

arty celebrating the 125th<br />

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

ncorporation Thursday<br />

vening to know just how big<br />

change that was.<br />

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

ands and performing acts<br />

ntertained a sea <strong>of</strong> local and<br />

ut-<strong>of</strong>-town people flowing<br />

ike a tide from Market<br />

quare to Monument square<br />

ere dissembled and all the<br />

ooths and temporary faciliies<br />

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

irthday party extravaganza<br />

aken away.<br />

Only the Arch <strong>of</strong> Triumph<br />

reated by local artist Ron<br />

eziel and the 125th<br />

nniversary organizing comittee<br />

remained as a<br />

eminder <strong>of</strong> just how big the<br />

lock Party bash had roared<br />

n Main Street.<br />

But even the Arch was<br />

ecoming a curiosity to peole<br />

walking through the area<br />

ho had not been present<br />

hursday night.<br />

“I don’t know what it is,”<br />

woman found walking<br />

n Main Street with her two<br />

mall children said Friday<br />

fternoon when asked about<br />

he large scaffolding covered<br />

ith panels <strong>of</strong> art depicting<br />

cenes <strong>of</strong> Woonsocket histoy.<br />

“I didn’t really take a<br />

ood look at it,” the woman<br />

aid before moving on with<br />

er kids.<br />

Ashley Pelletier, 25, <strong>of</strong><br />

mithfield, said she also did<br />

ot attend the Anniversary<br />

elebration Thursday but<br />

new the Arch was made for<br />

he event and had watched it<br />

in front, from left, enjoy the music with others in front <strong>of</strong> the main stage as Ray Arruda entertains<br />

during the Main Street Block Party Thursday night.<br />

being put together as she<br />

came to the city each day.<br />

“It looks pretty neat,”<br />

Pelletier said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> arch is expected to<br />

remain at the junction <strong>of</strong><br />

Main and Blackstone streets<br />

for at least another week and<br />

for those who had attended<br />

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

fitting tribute to all the work<br />

that went into planning it.<br />

Ronnie Chaplin, 56, a<br />

1975 graduate <strong>of</strong> the high<br />

school, can see the arch from<br />

the window <strong>of</strong> his apartment<br />

on Main Street and said it<br />

shows how much work went<br />

into the putting on the oneday<br />

city celebration.<br />

“I thought it was very well<br />

planned and very well<br />

orchestrated and fun for<br />

everyone involved,” Chaplin<br />

said. “It gave a good representation<br />

<strong>of</strong> the city what we<br />

are all about and what we<br />

should be all about,” Chaplin,<br />

a patient advocate.<br />

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

Thursday night showed<br />

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

diversity, its ability to bring<br />

together a mix <strong>of</strong> different<br />

cultures and different ethnic<br />

groups,” Chaplin said.<br />

That was an improvement<br />

over the days he when he<br />

was a young black teenager<br />

growing up in the city and<br />

you belonged to one group<br />

and someone else belonged<br />

to another, he said.<br />

Chaplin’s late mother,<br />

Mary (Dandy) Chaplin<br />

Watson, had also been aware<br />

<strong>of</strong> the difference in the city in<br />

those days and 50 years ago<br />

this week had joined other<br />

black representatives <strong>of</strong><br />

Rhode Island in the March<br />

on Washington, D.C. where<br />

the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther<br />

King gave his “I Have a<br />

Dream” speech on his belief<br />

that everyone in the nation<br />

would someday enjoy freedom<br />

and equality.<br />

“She was from<br />

Woonsocket and you know<br />

that March was really all<br />

about getting to where we are<br />

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

was a different place back<br />

then, and in some ways, with<br />

all the businesses open on<br />

Main Street and the opportunity<br />

for jobs, it was better <strong>of</strong>f<br />

than it is today with its economic<br />

crisis , he said.<br />

But in other ways, the<br />

city’s has improved from<br />

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

change has come in a world<br />

that is even more competitive<br />

and economically challenging,<br />

according to Chaplin.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Arch could be viewed<br />

a symbol <strong>of</strong> the city moving<br />

forward, Chaplin said, for<br />

that reason he hopes it<br />

remains a bit longer.<br />

“At night, it is all lit up<br />

and it is really a pretty thing<br />

and I think they should make<br />

it as some type <strong>of</strong> permanent<br />

gateway into the city,”<br />

Chaplin said.<br />

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

permanent status just yet, but<br />

Albert G. Beauparlant, basking<br />

a bit on Friday in the success<br />

<strong>of</strong> the Block Party, said<br />

it will remain on display a<br />

while longer due to the interest<br />

in the structure.<br />

Mayor Leo T. Fontaine<br />

has also received a letter<br />

from a couple who would<br />

like to be married under the<br />

Arch and there was plenty <strong>of</strong><br />

additional talk about “what<br />

do we do with the Arch,” on<br />

Friday, Beauparlant said.<br />

“Some people want to keep it<br />

up until Autumnfest,”<br />

Beauparlant said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> fountain that had<br />

flowed from the top <strong>of</strong> the<br />

scaffolding structure was<br />

taken down as part <strong>of</strong><br />

Friday’s clean up work and<br />

the Blackstone Street blend<br />

under it reopened to traffic.<br />

Beauparlant said he plans to<br />

tighten up all the art panels<br />

for the next few days <strong>of</strong> display<br />

and is already working<br />

on holding a thank you cook<br />

out for all the volunteers and<br />

supporters <strong>of</strong> the block party<br />

next to it next week.<br />

What was making him feel<br />

best on Friday was the<br />

knowledge everything had<br />

gone well on Thursday with<br />

very few glitches. <strong>The</strong> police<br />

department, which had put on<br />

20 additional patrol members<br />

to provide security for the<br />

event both in the large crowd<br />

on Main Street, made only<br />

one arrest during the event,<br />

according to Police<br />

Department Det. Jamie<br />

Paone. A city man was arrested<br />

during the evening <strong>after</strong> he<br />

jumped into the pool located<br />

at the bottom <strong>of</strong> the Arch’s<br />

waterfall and initially refused<br />

to get out.<br />

<strong>The</strong> man subsequently got<br />

into a scuffle with responding<br />

patrol <strong>of</strong>ficers and was<br />

charged with disorderly conduct<br />

and simple assault,<br />

according to Paone.<br />

Autumnfest will typically<br />

have several disorderly conduct<br />

or refusing to move incidents<br />

when it is underway,<br />

and as a result Paone said the<br />

Anniversary bash could be<br />

viewed as having gone very<br />

well with all the people that<br />

showed up at Main Street for<br />

the late <strong>after</strong>noon and nighttime<br />

celebration.<br />

Beauparlant said his best<br />

memory <strong>of</strong> this year’s Block<br />

Party’s came as the event<br />

closed <strong>after</strong> 11 p.m. and he<br />

and his wife took a golf cart<br />

ride up and down the venue’s<br />

course. <strong>The</strong> couple’s daughter<br />

Ashley had been born <strong>after</strong><br />

the city held its 100th<br />

Anniversary Block Party in<br />

1988 and Beauparlant said<br />

that made the ride 25 years<br />

later one that would be hard<br />

to forget as the couple talked<br />

about the past 25 years.<br />

“People were coming up to us<br />

saying thank you Mr.<br />

Beauparlant for coming back<br />

to make this possible and that<br />

was really a memorable<br />

moment,” he said.<br />

THE TIMES — 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong><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 <strong>after</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> her<br />

dead child.<br />

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

<strong>of</strong> 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 />

<strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> his victory.<br />

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

Letter to the Editor<br />

Fire chief deserves to be honored<br />

Throughout this spacious and beautiful<br />

nation, there are many buildings, bridges<br />

and monuments honoring the name(s) <strong>of</strong><br />

people who have dedicated their lives for<br />

the good and welfare <strong>of</strong> mankind.<br />

On the other hand, either through politics,<br />

family relations, donations, etc., there<br />

are venues named in honor <strong>of</strong> people less<br />

deserving <strong>of</strong> such honor.<br />

Here in the Blackstone Valley, many<br />

people both past and present have quietly<br />

dedicated their lives for good causes.<br />

Perhaps there are not enough buildings yet<br />

built to recognize these wonderful people.<br />

In Central Falls, the name <strong>of</strong> Rene<br />

Coutu, the beloved Fire Chief <strong>of</strong> our city<br />

for 25 years, comes to mind as a person so<br />

deserving to have his name placed in memory.<br />

Rene's brother firefighters believed in<br />

his leadership, as did the residents <strong>of</strong><br />

Central Falls. He was well respected by his<br />

"<strong>The</strong> father who realizes the most<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 <strong>of</strong> citizenship -- you are<br />

marching."<br />

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

country but always wanting more than the<br />

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

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

Sloane C<strong>of</strong>fin's words: "<strong>The</strong>re are three<br />

kinds <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> God's<br />

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

For hours before the president walked<br />

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

one famous American <strong>after</strong> another walked<br />

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

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

I watched the steady stream <strong>of</strong> speakers<br />

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

ordinary and ineffective these days in our<br />

culture <strong>of</strong> 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 />

<strong>of</strong> greatness?<br />

On Wednesday, millions <strong>of</strong> regular<br />

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

their country and themselves.<br />

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

get back into the march, it was enough.<br />

most <strong>of</strong> all, well liked by all who<br />

knew him.<br />

Rene exemplifies the true meaning <strong>of</strong><br />

dedication towards the well being <strong>of</strong> others.<br />

His name truly deserves to be honored<br />

and a venue named in his memory. A small<br />

park at the corner <strong>of</strong> Lewis and Hunt<br />

streets in our city will be that perfect place<br />

in the very near future. With much hope<br />

and effort, it will become a reality on<br />

a tale <strong>of</strong> two leaders<br />

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

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

American speech since <strong>Lincoln</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong><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 <strong>of</strong><br />

skilled rhetoric; it was<br />

also a moment <strong>of</strong> culmination.<br />

It was the culmination<br />

<strong>of</strong> a literary form:<br />

Michael Gerson<br />

African American<br />

preaching — practiced<br />

by four generations <strong>of</strong><br />

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

King James cadences, folk spirituals and<br />

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

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

century <strong>of</strong> African American demands for<br />

the fulfillment <strong>of</strong> national promises made<br />

at emancipation, betrayed during<br />

Reconstruction and mocked by segregation.<br />

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

American type <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> craft, history and<br />

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

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

rebirth that also took place at<br />

Gettysburg. Both <strong>Lincoln</strong> and King demonstrated<br />

the most remarkable power <strong>of</strong> rhetoric:<br />

the power <strong>of</strong> trauma given meaning.<br />

Both summarized and summoned forces<br />

beyond themselves. Georg Friedrich Hegel<br />

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

ideals through the instrument <strong>of</strong><br />

great men. King and his contemporaries<br />

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

<strong>Lincoln</strong> 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 <strong>Lincoln</strong><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 <strong>of</strong> 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 />

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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> equality<br />

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

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

middle class.<br />

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

<strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> trumpet calls and church<br />

bells. With great power come mundane<br />

responsibilities.<br />

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

signature weaknesses in the discharge <strong>of</strong><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 />

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

the interests <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 />

<strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong>fice so far will hardly be<br />

remembered as a period <strong>of</strong> innovation in<br />

encouraging opportunity and the creation<br />

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

Republican obstruction. But that does not<br />

explain the general absence <strong>of</strong> 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 />

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 />

<strong>doctor</strong>s’ <strong>of</strong>fices. 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 />

looks. I do most <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 />

<strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>doctor</strong>.<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 <strong>of</strong><br />

hurting him.<br />

I am the type <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 />

<strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> time on<br />

matters <strong>of</strong> little or no consequence.<br />

This quirk <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> your many<br />

fans.<br />

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

Maybe the losses <strong>of</strong> the past<br />

weren’t really losses at all.<br />

Maybe they were what you had<br />

to let go <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> potential building material<br />

for your next project. Whether<br />

the resources are physical or<br />

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

day organizing them well.<br />

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

19). Instead <strong>of</strong> 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 />

<strong>of</strong> the world will help things.<br />

Placing an ‘additional tool in tool<br />

DiSarcina discusses value <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> baseball scouts had gathered for<br />

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

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

— See page C3<br />

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

introducing players to a different defensive side <strong>of</strong> 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 ro<strong>of</strong> hanging over his head.<br />

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

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

PGA Tour<br />

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

Phil Mickelson<br />

Lefty grabs share <strong>of</strong> first-round lead <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>after</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> the wrong side<br />

<strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong><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 <strong>of</strong> 28 on the<br />

PGA Tour this year. And even <strong>after</strong> 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 />

CENTRAL FALLS — Tolman High head coach<br />

Jack Coutu chose not to play senior goalie and quadcaptain<br />

Adam Ghazal long before the start <strong>of</strong> the Tigers'<br />

R.I. Injury Fund “game” against archrival Shea on<br />

Friday night.<br />

He did so as a precaution, not to mention a safety<br />

measure.<br />

“I was worried about the field,” Coutu indicated <strong>of</strong><br />

the uneven, dusty Macomber Stadium surface minutes<br />

before the scrimmage, one designed to raise money for<br />

the Rhode Island Interscholastic League for injury/insurance<br />

reasons and also give squads statewide an opportunity<br />

to face live competition.<br />

“This games means nothing; Adam is still coming <strong>of</strong>f<br />

an ACL injury, one he tore in a play<strong>of</strong>f game against<br />

South Kingstown last year,” he added. “As long as he's<br />

ready to play SK in the season opener (on Friday, Sept.<br />

6), that's all I care about. He's a premier goalie.”<br />

Despite a 1-0 loss to the Raiders, Coutu liked what he<br />

saw from his crew, which should battle usual Division I<br />

stalwarts Central Falls, Barrington, Portsmouth, North<br />

Kingstown and Shea for the top few spots and a play<strong>of</strong>f<br />

berth once the campaign begins.<br />

“I was just hoping to see improvement from our<br />

scrimmage against Moses Brown on Tuesday,” Coutu<br />

stated <strong>after</strong> the tilt, the first <strong>of</strong> a “twinbill” (Central Falls<br />

edged Providence Country Day, 2-1, in the nightcap).<br />

“We're trying to get better each and every day. <strong>The</strong> good<br />

news was I didn't see the same mistakes I had against<br />

(the Quakers).<br />

“I thought (senior quad-captains) Sebastian Estrada<br />

and Ibrahima Maie played great in the midfield, which<br />

is a new position for both <strong>of</strong> them,” he continued. “I was<br />

See INJURY FUND, page C2<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 <strong>of</strong>f to a great front<br />

nine and somewhat stalled on the back. But <strong>after</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong>f 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>after</strong> that, it seemed<br />

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

<strong>Pawtucket</strong> manager Gary DiSarcina<br />

experienced his own Denard Span moment<br />

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

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

DiSarcina at second base so that<br />

Dick Sch<strong>of</strong>ield could return to his natural<br />

position <strong>after</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> years <strong>after</strong> Span’s horizons<br />

were broadened out <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> pretty significant sample size,<br />

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

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

a phase DiSarcina has used on multiple<br />

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

<strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> on-the-job training<br />

that himself and Span were forced to<br />

endure upon reaching the top <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essional<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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>Pawtucket</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> works hand and<br />

hand with <strong>of</strong>fense at first. Sometimes you<br />

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

because you’re not in your spot. After 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-<strong>of</strong>-water moment<br />

that Span and DiSarcina were forced to<br />

confront.<br />

Injury Fund matches draw local teams to C.F.’s Macomber Stadium<br />

very impressed with them, and the team as a whole played well.<br />

We lost five starters from last year, and – in soccer – that's a lot.<br />

We'll see how the kids do as the season progresses.<br />

“Our goal is to make the play<strong>of</strong>fs, as always. We need to<br />

improve from game to game, and also practice to practice. Overall,<br />

I'm pleased.”<br />

In Injury Fund contests, regardless <strong>of</strong> the foes or the sites, each<br />

team plays 20-minute halves; the idea is to prepare all for the rigors<br />

<strong>of</strong> competitive action.<br />

On this night, the Tigers held the Raiders at bay until the 18th<br />

minute; that's when sophomore defender Sergio Lopes drilled a<br />

high, 35-yard liner over the head <strong>of</strong> junior Andres Cordoba and<br />

under the crossbar for the game's lone tally.<br />

It seemed Tolman would even the score approximately seven<br />

minutes into the final half <strong>after</strong> Maie ripped a right corner kick at<br />

Shea junior keeper Alex Andrade, but the ball rolled through the<br />

box. Two hustling Tigers failed to place a foot on it.<br />

Cordoba, by the way, faced eight shots and closed with seven<br />

saves. Andrade finished with a pair.<br />

“We lost two defensive starters last year to graduation, and<br />

we're trying to replace them, so I'm expecting a lot from (seniors)<br />

Kyle Martins and Calle,” Coutu noted. “I'm hoping to see big<br />

things from both <strong>of</strong> them.”<br />

As for veteran Shea mentor Pierre Ridore, he wanted to see<br />

progress from his squad – and did.<br />

“I wanted us to move the ball well, not to hold it and wait for a<br />

defender to get on them, and for our players to find the open<br />

spaces,” he said. “I told them beforehand to move the ball, have<br />

some fun and try to build some chemistry.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> first 20 minutes (one in which the Raiders outshot their<br />

rivals, 6-1) weren't that great,” he added. “We didn't seem in sync,<br />

but as we relaxed and calmed down, we moved the ball more<br />

strongly … I would say our center midfielders (seniors Edson<br />

Ferrer and Michael Lopes) definitely got better. I thought they built<br />

some chemistry, especially since this is their first year there. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

played defense last year.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y're starting to learn how to play that position, and it<br />

showed as the game progressed.”<br />

Last season, Ridore's bunch dropped a decision to upset-minded<br />

Cumberland in the Division I quarterfinals, and he'd desperately<br />

like to see his team make a deeper run.<br />

“If we keep playing together and learning how to play as a<br />

team, not individually, I believe we can go far,” Ridore indicated.<br />

“It all depends on how hard they're willing to work. <strong>The</strong>y're doing<br />

that now, so if that attitude and worth ethic continues, we should be<br />

alright.”<br />

***<br />

In the Warriors' tilt against PCD, they outshot the Knights, 13-3;<br />

they nevertheless faced a 1-0 halftime deficit. With about seven<br />

minutes left in that initial stanza, senior Tom Horvatt whacked a<br />

low shot at junior Sergio Riveria, who allowed it to squire through<br />

his legs.<br />

On the positive side, CF dominated the second session with<br />

eight shots, and two found the back <strong>of</strong> the net.<br />

With 12:50 left in regulation, senior quad-captain Alexi Flores<br />

delivered a superb pass from the left at fellow captain Jean<br />

Urquiza, but Tucker Wray dove to his right and poked it outside<br />

the left post.<br />

Just 10 seconds later, junior striker Keller Pina evened the score<br />

when his poke deflected <strong>of</strong>f a Knight.<br />

Classmate Kember Garcia assisted on the tally.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Warriors claimed the lead for good about 60 ticks later,<br />

when Urquiza roped a feed from Flores past Wray (six saves).<br />

“I wanted to see the kids move the ball, counter-attack, position<br />

themselves well and attack the net, but there wasn't much <strong>of</strong> that in<br />

the first half,” CF head coach Carl Africo mentioned. “I told the<br />

kids at the break they had to shoot more. <strong>The</strong>y were looking for the<br />

pretty goal instead <strong>of</strong> putting it on net.<br />

“When they scored (<strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong> Riveria), that was just a keeper<br />

error,” he added. “It went five-hole … I also wanted to see how our<br />

kids played this field. This is the first time this year we've been on<br />

it, and it doesn't have the same width as we're used to. It's only at<br />

about 60 yards, and I like to play on a 120 (yard) by 80 (yard) field<br />

to utilize our quickness.<br />

He claimed the reason for the slight shortening was because <strong>of</strong><br />

the baseball mound closest to the east goal, the same side in which<br />

the Warriors opened the game.<br />

“Once we switched sides, we were able to open it more, play<br />

more to our style,” he stated. “I thought every one <strong>of</strong> our kids<br />

played well. If there's one thing I can say, most years – at the<br />

Division I open meeting – coaches will say that CF lost too many<br />

seniors, and would be down. In years past, we usually go about 14<br />

deep in terms <strong>of</strong> quality players, with the rest being functional subs.<br />

“This year, I have at least 17,” he continued. “I have a group <strong>of</strong><br />

four strikers, and I could start any two and be happy with the result.<br />

<strong>The</strong> same goes for our seven midfielders. I could play any four,<br />

and know I'd see solid play.”<br />

He nevertheless admitted one weakness could be in net. Both<br />

senior Jonathan Ortiz (one save in final half) and junior Riveria<br />

(two) have some experience, but not as much as Africo would<br />

like.<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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> eyes looking on, Henry played the role <strong>of</strong><br />

ero as <strong>Pawtucket</strong> is heading to the Governors’ Cup play<strong>of</strong>fs for the<br />

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

bottom <strong>of</strong> 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-<strong>of</strong>f 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 play<strong>of</strong>fs on the road next Wednesday at either<br />

Norfolk or Rochester. <strong>The</strong> first two games <strong>of</strong> the best-<strong>of</strong>-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 <strong>of</strong>fice, 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 pr<strong>of</strong>essional and a great<br />

teammate.”<br />

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

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

said DiSarcina.<br />

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

inning, throwing eight <strong>of</strong> 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 />

Buchholz takes ‘step forward’ in rehab start<br />

By BRENDAN McGAIR<br />

bmcgair@pawtuckettimes.com<br />

PAWTUCKET – Clay<br />

uchholz classified his 3.1-<br />

nning stint at McCoy Stadium<br />

n Friday as a step forward.<br />

“Tonight, I was much more<br />

mpressed with the velocity that<br />

was able to sustain over the<br />

eriod I was out there and being<br />

ble to throw all my pitches<br />

ith the same effort level and<br />

rm angle,” said Buchholz <strong>after</strong><br />

cattering seven hits and allowng<br />

one run against Syracuse.<br />

That was basically the final<br />

ump I had to get over as far as<br />

ot having a second thought in<br />

he back <strong>of</strong> my head. It was<br />

bout getting my release point<br />

own on all my pitches.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> fact that none <strong>of</strong><br />

uchholz’s pitches resulted in<br />

ny sort <strong>of</strong> discomfort is reason<br />

o believe that the All-Star<br />

itcher is no longer dealing<br />

ith the neck-related maladies<br />

hat transformed a Cy Youngaliber<br />

campaign into one he<br />

opes that he’s able to salvage.<br />

uchholz led all <strong>of</strong> Major<br />

eague Baseball with a 1.71<br />

RA and was tied for first in<br />

ins (nine) when he landed on<br />

he disabled list on June 18<br />

retroactive to June 9).<br />

“(Working) out <strong>of</strong> the stretch<br />

s my the only uncomfortable<br />

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

alanced in the stretch,”<br />

uchholz said in response to a<br />

eporter asking about the delibrate<br />

pace he featured at times<br />

Friday night. “It’s something<br />

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

level with since most <strong>of</strong> my<br />

rehab appearances have been<br />

out <strong>of</strong> the stretch.”<br />

Asked if he needed a third<br />

rehab start, Buchholz nodded<br />

his head in the affirmative. <strong>The</strong><br />

venue for next Wednesday’s<br />

appearance will depend on the<br />

play<strong>of</strong>f schedule <strong>of</strong> Boston’s<br />

minor-league affiliates. Another<br />

factor to take under advisement<br />

is that Buchholz and his wife<br />

Lindsay are expecting the couple’s<br />

second child sometime<br />

next week.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> next time out, I can<br />

amp up the pitch count to 75-<br />

80 and hopefully that gets me<br />

through five innings,” said<br />

Buchholz, who is targeting<br />

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

return date to the Red Sox. “I<br />

need one more. If I didn’t have<br />

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

Detroit. You don’t need to go<br />

out there and second-guess the<br />

command <strong>of</strong> your pitches when<br />

you face a lineup like that. I<br />

want to make sure that I’m<br />

physically ready to go into that<br />

start [at Tropicana Field].”<br />

<strong>The</strong> right-hander was scheduled<br />

to throw 50-55 pitches<br />

Friday; he was removed <strong>after</strong><br />

throwing 52 pitches and 34<br />

strikes. Had Buchholz not<br />

thrown 23 pitches in the first<br />

inning, it’s conceivable that he<br />

could have remained out there<br />

for more than the 10 outs he<br />

ended up recording.<br />

Buchholz ended up falling<br />

behind 1-0 against four <strong>of</strong> the<br />

five Syracuse batters he faced<br />

in the top <strong>of</strong> the first. He began<br />

the outing with a seven-pitch<br />

confrontation with Eury Perez,<br />

who singled through the left<br />

side. A stolen base and a throwing<br />

error by catcher Ryan<br />

Lavarnway enabled Perez to<br />

advance to third.<br />

<strong>The</strong> second hitter for the<br />

Chiefs, Jeff Kobernus, scraped<br />

the third-base chalk for an<br />

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

scenario for Buchholz and the<br />

PawSox. Danny Espinosa then<br />

turned on a 91 mph <strong>of</strong>fering to<br />

produce a run.<br />

A 6-4-3 double play helped<br />

make life a little easier for<br />

Buchholz, who ended the first<br />

by getting Will Rhymes to pop<br />

up to shortstop Brock Holt.<br />

Buchholz’s fastball topped out<br />

at 94 mph in the first, which<br />

was also represented the highest<br />

reading <strong>of</strong> his outing.<br />

<strong>The</strong> first two Chiefs went<br />

down in order in the second<br />

inning before Jimmy Van<br />

Ostrand singled. He ended the<br />

frame with his first strikeout<br />

that came on what appeared to<br />

be an 87 mph cutter. Buchholz<br />

finished with two punchouts<br />

and zero walks.<br />

Perez began the third inning<br />

in the same fashion that he<br />

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

With one down, Espinosa lined<br />

a shot into the right-field corner<br />

that Bryce Brentz bobbled. <strong>The</strong><br />

miscue left Buchholz to deal<br />

with a second-and-third jam<br />

with one out.<br />

A hard liner to second base<br />

produced the second out.<br />

Rhymes then watched a 91<br />

mph <strong>of</strong>fering zip by for strike<br />

three.<br />

Buchholz started the fourth<br />

with a one-pitch out. He then<br />

allowed a loud double to No. 7<br />

hitter Chris Rahl on a pitch that<br />

“was supposed to be a front<br />

door cutter and I just pulled it<br />

middle. Kid got some good<br />

wood on it.”<br />

After flying from Los<br />

Angeles to New York last<br />

weekend to pitch against New<br />

York-Penn League competition,<br />

Buchholz admitted that<br />

Friday felt like a normal day<br />

from a preparation standpoint –<br />

one that saw him clear a mental<br />

hurdle.<br />

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

days a couple <strong>of</strong> weeks ago<br />

and felt like it was time to get<br />

<strong>of</strong>f the mound. I actually reinjured<br />

myself doing that,”<br />

Buchholz said. “This is the<br />

hardest I’ve tried to throw<br />

throughout this whole process,<br />

which is a good thing for me.”<br />

Patriots hand<br />

out pink slips<br />

to tight ends<br />

Ballard, Fells<br />

Eight others are released;<br />

Tebow remains with team<br />

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

released veteran tight ends Jake Ballard and Daniel Fells in the<br />

first batch <strong>of</strong> final cuts.<br />

Now comes the really hard part.<br />

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

their roster by 12 more to get down to the NFL regular-season<br />

limit <strong>of</strong> 53 by Saturday.<br />

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

in the Patriots' 28-20 win over the New York Giants in the<br />

exhibition finale Thursday. <strong>The</strong> third-string quarterback completed<br />

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

one interception. He also was sacked four times but got poor<br />

protection on some <strong>of</strong> them.<br />

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

said about the player evaluation process, "although every game<br />

is important. But the body <strong>of</strong> work, the camp, the rate <strong>of</strong><br />

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

to be asked to do at their respective positions (also matters)."<br />

Belichick spoke before the cuts were announced and gave<br />

no indication <strong>of</strong> which players he might let go.<br />

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

could be ready to play sooner than expected <strong>after</strong> missing all<br />

four exhibition games following back surgery. He's one <strong>of</strong><br />

three tight ends still on the roster.<br />

Tebow, who is one <strong>of</strong> three quarterbacks, playing behind<br />

Tom Brady and Ryan Mallett, was asked <strong>after</strong> Thursday's game<br />

if he felt that performance improved his chances <strong>of</strong> making the<br />

team. He said, "I'm not sure. I don't make those decisions."<br />

That decision will depend on whether Belichick feels it<br />

would help the Patriots more to have greater depth at another<br />

position than by carrying a third quarterback, something he's<br />

done just once in the past four seasons.<br />

"I don't think it's good planning or good insurance for your<br />

team to go light at a position and then have no idea where your<br />

depth at that position is going to be," he said. "It may be on the<br />

roster. It may not be on the roster. But, at least, you want to<br />

have some idea where you're headed if you need it."<br />

That depth could come from players on the practice squad,<br />

the physically unable to perform list or free agents who aren't<br />

on any team, Belichick said.<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 <strong>of</strong> millions <strong>of</strong> 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 />

<strong>of</strong> people.<br />

Which is why some former players and others think the<br />

league is getting <strong>of</strong>f cheap in its tentative settlement with<br />

victims <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> needing<br />

immediate help," Mawae said. "But it's $700 million<br />

worth <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> money, preferring to focus on the timing <strong>of</strong> the<br />

settlement. <strong>The</strong>y said that getting medical coverage now for<br />

their peers — or themselves — who suffer from a variety <strong>of</strong><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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> concealing the longterm<br />

dangers <strong>of</strong> concussions while glorifying spectacular hits<br />

on the field.<br />

<strong>The</strong> settlement calls for payouts <strong>of</strong> up to $5 million for<br />

players suffering from Alzheimer's disease; up to $4 million<br />

for those who died <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> Fame linebacker Harry Carson put it, the<br />

NFL "has the resources to sort <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> players who have had neurological<br />

issues and have passed on," added Carson, who<br />

was not a plaintiff, "I think now <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong>f. <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 pro<strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> the past," said Marc Ganis,<br />

president <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> Alzheimer's disease.<br />

"When I testified before Congress, I spoke <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>after</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>after</strong> 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 <strong>after</strong> the<br />

Washington Redskins quarterback<br />

tweeted to the world that<br />

he was "Cleared for Take<strong>of</strong>f"<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 <strong>after</strong> being<br />

examined yet again by Dr.<br />

James Andrews, a remarkable<br />

development that comes less<br />

than eight months <strong>after</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> himself saluting while<br />

wearing his Redskins uniform,<br />

with the caption "Cleared for<br />

Take<strong>of</strong>f."<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 <strong>doctor</strong><br />

supposedly has. Asked directly<br />

whether Griffin would start<br />

against the Philadelphia Eagles<br />

on Sept. 9, Shanahan wouldn't<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 <strong>of</strong> the guys here," Banks<br />

said. "I was learning a lot <strong>of</strong> the one-onone<br />

basic things <strong>of</strong> football as well as the<br />

intermediate things <strong>of</strong> football and meshing<br />

them all together at once in a small<br />

period <strong>of</strong> 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 />

<strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 10 passes<br />

for 11 yards and two interceptions.<br />

First<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 <strong>doctor</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong><br />

it is true. No concerns."<br />

Nevertheless, the episode<br />

fits the Griffin-Shanahan <strong>pattern</strong><br />

that has dominated the<br />

Redskins' world on a weekly<br />

basis since the start <strong>of</strong> training<br />

camp. Griffin makes a statement;<br />

Shanahan says not-s<strong>of</strong>ast.<br />

It comes <strong>of</strong>f 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 />

another reminder to Griffin to<br />

protect himself better. <strong>The</strong><br />

multi-threat quarterback<br />

missed all or part <strong>of</strong> four<br />

games last year due to injuries,<br />

and he's promised this year to<br />

do a better job avoiding contact<br />

when he's running with the<br />

ball<br />

Ȯr the whole thing could<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 <strong>of</strong> the road Friday, at least with the San<br />

Diego Chargers.<br />

After playing what he called "probably<br />

one <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong>ficial.<br />

McCoy said Friday that Starks "struggled<br />

a little bit, I think. That's all part <strong>of</strong> the<br />

business. We're moving forward."<br />

Indy announces plans to seek 2018 Super Bowl<br />

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis<br />

wants to host the Super Bowl in 2018 <strong>after</strong><br />

winning praise for its handling <strong>of</strong> the<br />

NFL's showcase event in 2012.<br />

<strong>The</strong> city notified the NFL <strong>of</strong> its intentions<br />

Friday ahead <strong>of</strong> 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 />

<strong>of</strong> the 2012 Super Bowl.<br />

Indianapolis won broad praise for that<br />

effort, drawing hundreds <strong>of</strong> thousands <strong>of</strong><br />

football fans to the city 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 city.<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 />

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 />

city.<br />

"<strong>The</strong> excitement they had in their voices<br />

really encouraged me that our city 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 />

forward to 2018 beating the one we did<br />

before."<br />

Redskins’ RG3 is cleared, but the drama goes on<br />

just be a standard coach's ploy<br />

to keep the opposition <strong>of</strong>f balance,<br />

although that would<br />

hardly seem effective in this<br />

game. <strong>The</strong> Eagles no doubt<br />

have been preparing to face the<br />

unconventional RG3, so it<br />

would hardly be a coach's<br />

headache if they suddenly<br />

learned they were instead facing<br />

conventional backup Kirk<br />

Cousins.<br />

None <strong>of</strong> the latest back-andforth<br />

has altered the convention<br />

wisdom: Everyone who<br />

has seen Griffin practice agrees<br />

that he looks good and will be<br />

under center against the<br />

Eagles.<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 forward<br />

to this coming season and seasons <strong>after</strong>."<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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 play<strong>of</strong>fs in six <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> confidence came this<br />

summer, when the team signed forward 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 />

<strong>of</strong> about a week just this summer to two players,"<br />

Jacobs said. "I think that that speaks volumes about<br />

the amount <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> as the Bruins GM,<br />

Chiarelli said it was hiring coach Claude Julien in<br />

2007 and sticking with him -- including 2010, <strong>after</strong><br />

the team blew a 3-0 lead in the play<strong>of</strong>fs 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 <strong>of</strong> the play<strong>of</strong>fs.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y went on to win it all.<br />

"He came <strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong> being fired twice and there<br />

were a lot <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 forward 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 />

After 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>after</strong> that, I was much more comortable<br />

on the court."<br />

Djokovic was playing in Arthur Ashe<br />

Stadium, where the wind <strong>of</strong>ten 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. ... After I played a good tiebreak, everything<br />

kind <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>after</strong> she noticed that her<br />

draw was a repeat from last year. A pep talk<br />

from coach Carlos Rodriguez eased her anxiety.<br />

"After 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>after</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> Li was the<br />

biggest victory <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong>f 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 />

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 <strong>of</strong> being among the<br />

top 70 who advance to the third play<strong>of</strong>f 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> those<br />

leading to wins.<br />

Mickelson had said Woods "brings out the<br />

best in me" on Thursday <strong>after</strong> his pro-am<br />

round. When asked about that again <strong>after</strong> his<br />

63, Lefty smiled and said, "After today, it's hard<br />

to think any differently."<br />

Woods referred to the course as "gettable,"<br />

the same description he gave <strong>of</strong> Muirfield when<br />

Mickelson shot 66 on the final day to win the<br />

British Open, considered one <strong>of</strong> the great closing<br />

rounds in a major. That was the case,<br />

though. <strong>The</strong> TPC Boston was s<strong>of</strong>t 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 <strong>of</strong><br />

them.<br />

"<strong>The</strong> back is good," Woods said.<br />

"Unfortunately, I didn't give myself a whole lot<br />

<strong>of</strong> looks."<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 <strong>of</strong> Fame — he came along at<br />

the wrong time. Mickelson has never been<br />

player <strong>of</strong> 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 play<strong>of</strong>f event might be enough to<br />

get voted PGA Tour player <strong>of</strong> the year. Woods<br />

has five wins, all <strong>of</strong> them strong, but failed to<br />

win a major.<br />

"If I finish <strong>of</strong>f with one or two wins this<br />

year, and win the FedEx Cup, I think that<br />

would be enough to get the player <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> energy and I'm able to<br />

focus clearly. And that's usually when you play<br />

well."<br />

(BPT) — Chances are you've thought about<br />

adding a splash <strong>of</strong> color to the exterior <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 ro<strong>of</strong>.<br />

Smith says the selection <strong>of</strong> your main color<br />

should take into account the colors <strong>of</strong> 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 />

<strong>after</strong> the main color has been selected.<br />

All <strong>of</strong> this may sound daunting, but Smith<br />

says the key is to follow the process. If you're<br />

Agency has named indoor<br />

air quality as one <strong>of</strong> 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 />

<strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong><br />

health issues such as<br />

headaches, dry eyes, nasal<br />

"For individuals that suffer<br />

triggers for asthma attacks<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 ro<strong>of</strong><br />

color and work their way down, taking into<br />

D<br />

Bright idea exterior with vibrant colors<br />

account the siding, window frames, front entry<br />

door and trim.<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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong>f them with color accents."<br />

Smith created the guide in collaboration with<br />

several building manufacturers including:<br />

DaVinci Ro<strong>of</strong>scapes, 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 ro<strong>of</strong> can have<br />

an appealing blend <strong>of</strong> 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 />

micron in size and are 40<br />

times more efficient than a<br />

standard furnace filter. Each<br />

time the air system runs, the<br />

whole-home air purification<br />

system removes dust, dust<br />

mites, pet dander, mold<br />

spores, pollen, viruses,<br />

fungi, mold and other dangerous<br />

substances from the<br />

air throughout the entire<br />

home, rather than just the air<br />

in the immediate vicinity<br />

like a portable air cleaner.<br />

Other important considerations<br />

include maintaining<br />

humidity levels as well as<br />

proper ventilation; especially<br />

if your home is newer or<br />

<strong>The</strong>se area houses <strong>of</strong> worship invite<br />

you to join them soon. It could be<br />

the start <strong>of</strong> a beautiful relationship.<br />

It was early <strong>after</strong>noon at<br />

the beach and my youngest<br />

daughter was shoeless in the<br />

sand, as she ran to the adjoining<br />

playground. "Ouch, the<br />

sand is hot, mommy," she<br />

said. I was right next to her<br />

wearing flip-flops and immediately,<br />

I picked her up and<br />

propped her up on my hip. As<br />

I was carrying my daughter<br />

to the swings, I found myself<br />

leaning to one side.<br />

When we got to the playground,<br />

I placed her on the<br />

tire swing and began to push<br />

her back and forth. My<br />

daughter's golden-brown<br />

curly hair swayed in the<br />

breeze, and I recalled a narrative<br />

I once heard. It was<br />

about a country minister who<br />

continually prayed, "Lord,<br />

prop us up on our leaning<br />

side." After hearing him utter<br />

that prayer countless times, a<br />

member <strong>of</strong> his congregation<br />

decided to ask him about it.<br />

One day <strong>after</strong> their Sunday<br />

services, the two exchanged<br />

greetings. "Minister, why do<br />

you pray Lord, prop us up on<br />

our leaning side?" the member<br />

questioned. <strong>The</strong>re was<br />

silence for a moment, and the<br />

minister replied, "Well, I<br />

have a barn in the back <strong>of</strong> my<br />

house." He pointed out into<br />

the distance. "It has been<br />

there a long time. It has withstood<br />

adverse weather. It has<br />

gone through a lot <strong>of</strong> storms.<br />

Yet, it is still standing."<br />

Interested, the congregation<br />

member listened carefully,<br />

as the minister explained,<br />

"But one day, I noticed the<br />

barn was leaning to one side.<br />

I got some poles and propped<br />

it up on its leaning side, so it<br />

wouldn't fall. Looking at that<br />

shelter, I started to think<br />

about how much I was like<br />

that barn. I have been around<br />

for a long time. I've withstood<br />

difficulties. I have<br />

endured hard times and many<br />

<strong>of</strong> life's storms. Nevertheless,<br />

I'm still standing, too. So,<br />

when I find myself leaning to<br />

one side, I pray and ask the<br />

Lord to prop me up on my<br />

leaning<br />

side so I<br />

can stand<br />

strong<br />

again."<br />

What<br />

are you<br />

leaning<br />

toward<br />

today?<br />

God has<br />

given you<br />

dreams<br />

and goals<br />

for your<br />

future. He<br />

has placed<br />

wonderful aspirations in your<br />

heart.<br />

But challenges may have<br />

pushed you down. Now, is<br />

your mind filled with doubts?<br />

Are you leaning toward<br />

thoughts <strong>of</strong> 'I'm not good<br />

enough' or 'I can't'?<br />

I read that when<br />

Michelangelo was commissioned<br />

to paint the ceiling <strong>of</strong><br />

the Sistine Chapel, he was<br />

leaning toward despondency.<br />

Since he was a sculptor by<br />

trade, he didn't think he had<br />

the experience to paint frescos<br />

and felt taking on the<br />

endeavor would set him up<br />

for ridicule. Yet, the artist<br />

was devoted to God; and<br />

with steadfast faith, he put<br />

aside thoughts <strong>of</strong> hopelessness<br />

and began the project.<br />

Michelangelo's masterpiece<br />

is one <strong>of</strong> the greatest<br />

painted works in history. So<br />

replace, 'I can't' thoughts with<br />

'I can' and persevere. You can<br />

fulfill your highest potential.<br />

Have you made mistakes?<br />

Are you leaning toward<br />

defeat? Og Mandino became<br />

addicted to drinking and was<br />

unable to hold a job to support<br />

his young family.<br />

Finally, his wife had had<br />

enough, and she took their<br />

child and left him. Mandino<br />

was jobless, homeless and<br />

spent numerous drunken<br />

nights in gutters.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n, one cold morning,<br />

Mandino was leaning toward<br />

suicide. To stay warm, he<br />

entered a public library and<br />

began reading and searching,<br />

asking himself, "Is it too late<br />

for me?"<br />

Motivational books and<br />

the Bible inspired him so<br />

much that he was determined<br />

to heal past hurts and turn his<br />

life around. And he did.<br />

Mandino remarried, had a<br />

loving family, and found<br />

tremendous career success<br />

authoring 17 books, giving<br />

speeches all over the world,<br />

and positively influencing<br />

and motivating millions to<br />

achieve success and happiness.<br />

God's mercy is new every<br />

morning. Thus, you can<br />

begin again.<br />

Perhaps you're convinced<br />

you don't have the talents,<br />

resources or the right background<br />

to succeed. Are you<br />

leaning toward just settling<br />

for less than what you really<br />

desire?<br />

Raised by a hardworking,<br />

single mother, young Ben<br />

struggled in school, was<br />

made fun <strong>of</strong> by his classmates,<br />

and leaned toward<br />

wrath. However, his mother<br />

taught him to have faith in<br />

God and to believe in himself.<br />

She shared the values<br />

needed to succeed and<br />

encouraged him to read<br />

books, as a method for<br />

obtaining knowledge. Ben<br />

then was determined not to<br />

allow his circumstances to<br />

weigh him down or to see<br />

himself as a victim.<br />

He followed his dream<br />

forward, and Dr. Ben Carson<br />

became a world-renowned<br />

neurosurgeon serving humanity.<br />

"Do your best and let<br />

God do the rest," he said.<br />

No matter how many<br />

times you may have been<br />

pushed down, don't quit. Pick<br />

yourself up and try again.<br />

This is not the time to stop<br />

trying. In fact, it's the time to<br />

try harder. For success is in<br />

your future.<br />

Teen guilty <strong>of</strong> murdering Georgia baby in stroller<br />

KATE BRUMBAC<br />

Associated Press<br />

MARIETTA, Ga. — An 18-<br />

ear-old man was convicted <strong>of</strong> murer<br />

in the shooting <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 11 counts, including<br />

wo counts <strong>of</strong> felony murder and<br />

ne count <strong>of</strong> malice murder in the<br />

arch 21 killing <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> tampering with evience<br />

but acquitted <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong>fice<br />

with her son the morning <strong>of</strong> the<br />

killing. A gunman demanding her<br />

purse, shot her in the leg and shot<br />

her baby in the face <strong>after</strong> she told<br />

him she had no money, she said.<br />

Prosecutors, who declined comment<br />

<strong>after</strong> 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 city <strong>of</strong><br />

Brunswick drew national attention,<br />

and the trial was moved to the<br />

Atlanta suburb <strong>of</strong> Marietta owing to<br />

extensive publicity 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 <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>after</strong> the killing<br />

"<strong>The</strong>y finished their case in 25<br />

hours. Everything else they did <strong>after</strong><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 />
