GiovannaDonoyan for records pertainingto the sick leave pooldating back to 1996, accordingto papers released by theattorney general’s office thisweek.Donoyan satisfactorilycomplied with the request forall the records on hand aftershe was hired in September2011, prosecutors said. WhenBoss followed up with a secondrequest for the balanceof the information, however,Donoyan asked for an extensionof 20 days, which wouldhave brought the legal deadlineto Jan. 15. Prosecutorssaid Donoyan did notrespond to Boss until March7.In an affidavit provided tostate prosecutors, Donoyanblamed “a confluence ofevents” for the unintentionallapse, including personnelshortages caused by“extreme financial distresswithin the school system.”Among other things,Donoyan said a longtimesecretary for her predecessorhad recently resigned, theoffice lacked “any semblanceof an orderly filing system”and a state-appointed budgetcommission had effectivelyassumed operational controlof the Woonsocket EducationIncorporated 1891Ribbons were cut at two placesinside the building, one to honorthe late teacher and student at RIC,John “Tash” Tashjian and the otherfor donors Jack and ReginaPartridge.Construction of the completedphase started in April, 2012.

Throughout the war years,local movie houses supplied war-wearycitizens with much-needed entertainment.The city hosted six theaters: the Park andthe Stadium at Monument Square, theBijou on lower Main Street, the Olympiaand the Rialto in the Market Square areaand the Laurier in the Social district.Movies not only boasted patriotismand morale, but they also were instrumentalin raising millions of dollars in warbonds. Theatergoers were constantlyreminded on newsreels and by screenactors that there was "a war on."The same movie houses were also usedfor bond rallies which included live stageacts. One such rally was held at theStadium Theater on June 13, 1944. Billedas the Fifth War Loan, the spectacleincluded a local war hero, Captain John T.Godfrey and Woonsocket's young EileenFarrell, who music critics claimed was onthe verge of "a brilliant operatic career."The most impressive of these bond rallieswas that of September 9, 1943. This"Salute to Our Heros" dinner wassponsored by the local theater managerBenjamin Greenburg.Those seeking an evening, or even anafternoon, at the movies had their choiceof six movie theaters in 1950. Most ofthese had matinees as well as eveningperformances, and all featured twomovies- the double feature.Competition for customers, plus thebeginnings of competition by television,led theater owners to add inducements totheir movie billings. At the Olympia,viewers could play "Honey" for cashprizes, while the Park featured SilverDollar Nights.At the Laurier, management offeredchina and silverware as gifts. Those whosought family entertainment could travelto the Rhode Island Auditorium inProvidence to enjoy the Ice Capades for aprize ranging from $1.25 to $3.80.Source: cinema treasures/Woonsocket ACentennial HistoryWoonsocketWith little opposition, the City Councilgranted a second hand license to a nationalcompany requesting to do business inWoonsocket.Councilmen Dan Gendron and RobertMoreau strongly supported the proposal.Sims Metal Management’s NorthAmerican Division is located in 23 statesand employs more than 3,500 nationwide.The Sims Metal Management websitesays the company "maintains thestrongest commitment to the environment,sustainability and the health of the communitiesin which we do business.We take seriously our efforts to be agood community and environmental partner."Officials told the council they planto buy scrap metal for recycling purposesand transfer the metal to its Field PointDrive location at the port of Providencefor shipment.

It is the state'sthird-longest bike path, stretching 11.6miles from Woonsocket's River's EdgePark to Cumberland. The path will somedayconnect Providence to theMassachusetts border through a series ofon-road and off-road segments. TheRhode Island Department ofTransportation requires the host city to"concur" with the planned route of "segment"of the bikepath. With little opposition,the council encouraged the state tomove forward. The bike path will continuefrom Davison Avenue across HamletAvenue, running in front of the middleschools to a bridge (to be constructed forbikes and walkers only) across theBlackstone River to an exit in back of theLibrary. The rest of route travels alongthe river bank, using part of the bypass,then cutting in between VintageRestaurant and Hanora Apartments acrossto the municipal parking lot over to RiverStreet. The rest of the route follows RiverStreet into Blackstone.

Two years ago,he said that SyrianPresident Bashar al-Assadmust go. Last year, hedrew the now-infamous“red line” on chemicalweapons use.Finally, after chemicalweapons were used oncivilians, most likely byKathleen Parkerthe Assad regime, Obamacalled for military action.Then, after deployingSecretary of State John Kerry to make thecase, he suddenly decided to pass the decisionto Congress. (Note to Kerry: GoogleObama and “under the bus.”)Now we’re stuck with a -near-certainmilitary strike that could have disastrousrepercussions — all on account of a fewpresidential words carelessly uttered. It’s allabout our credibility, they say.What does this mean, exactly? Merriam-Webster defines credibility as “the quality orpower of inspiring belief.” Applied here, itmeans that when you draw a line in thesand, you have to be willing to fight whenthat line is crossed.Apparently, the defining atrocity for theObama administration is the use of chemicalweapons. Pentagon spokesman GeorgeLittle says using chemical weapons “violatesbasic standards of human dignity.”Unlike, say, shooting protesters in thepublic square.Or chopping off limbs with machetes,systematic rape, enslavement, sex traffickingand on down the list of atrocities we’vewitnessed without feeling compelled torespond. We may have turned a blind eye,but at least our credibility remained intact.Why? Primarily, one supposes, becauseour president didn’t draw a line. If yourmind has wandered to the playground,where little boys get in fights over tauntsand fragile pride, welcome to the sandbox.What say we all brush off our britches andthink this one through?Arguments favoring an attack includethat Assad’s willingness to use chemicalweapons poses a threat to our allies and thatother radical actors might become emboldenedif the United States fails to act. Finally,terrorists might get their hands on Syria’schemical weapons and use them against us.Letters to the editor policyThe newspaper welcomes letters to the editor and guest commentaries.Letters should be no longer than 500 words and should be typed.Letters must include the writer’s name, hometown and a phone number.WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU:BY MAIL:Send letters to the editor to:Editor/The Call, 75 Main St.,Woonsocket, R.I. 02895Send area event listings to:Events/The Call, 75 Main St.,Woonsocket, R.I. 02895BY EMAIL:Send letters to the editor to:editor@woonsocketcall.comAll true, though the terrorist threat seemsmore plausible if Assad is ousted.Otherwise, except for the method of killing,not much has changed in the two years sincethe Arab Spring became a bloody winter inSyria and elsewhere. Recall, too, that wedidn’t intervene in 1988 when SaddamHussein used chemical weapons to slaughter3,000 to 5,000 Kurds. Do we really wish wehad? Where does one draw the line on interventionsto save innocents at the hands oftheir own countrymen? Whose civil war isoff-limits?Would that Obama’s foreign policy wereclear enough to provide answers.More at the heart of the current debate iswhether a limited missile strike would makeany difference. The near-unanimous opinionis not really. From the porches and stoops ofAmerica’s heartland to the marbled floors ofthe Capitol, the consensus is that a limitedstrike would merely aggravate matters andpotentially lead to a catastrophic clash withglobal ramifications. How would that workfor our credibility?A strike of greater proportions reminds usof Colin Powell’s better moment: You breakit, you own it.That Barack Obama hesitates seems theleast of our concerns. He has created problemsto be sure, speaking loudly and carryinga twig (as a reader wrote me, to givecredit where due). His “foreign policy”seems to be more afterthought (or politicalcynicism) than strategy.Even so, lawmakers, including JohnBoehner, Eric Cantor and Nancy Pelosi, arelining up to support the president’s plan formissile strikes. Let’s hope that whatever theoutcome, our best efforts have been directedby an abundance of caution rather than aprideful attachment to credibility. This is notto say that credibility isn’t important, but themeasure of one’s credibility isn’t onlywhether a nation is willing to stand itsground. It is also whether a nation is willingto be wise.The United States still carries the biggeststick. We are still the bravest, most compassionate,most generous nation in the historyof mankind. When our allies need us, ourcredibility is beyond reproach. We alwaysact decisively when the stakes are clear. Theworld knows this. It is our exceptional history,not a single, transitory man, that inspiresbelief.And sometimes, it is helpful to note, acoiled snake is more effective than one thatreflexively strikes.Kathleen Parker is a syndicated columnistfor The Washington Post.Send area event listings to:notices@woonsocketcall.comBY TELEPHONE:Call the newsroom:401-767-8550401-767-8562ONLINE:Twitter: @WoonsocketCallFacebook: Woonsocket CallWebsite: woonsocketcall.com

(AP) — Only experiencedmariners need apply.Mystic Seaport is looking for the firstcaptain in more than 90 years for the historicwhaling ship, the Charles W. Morgan. TheConnecticut maritime museum has beenrestoring the 172-year-old wooden ship,preparing it to sail across New England nextsummer.The Day of New London reports that seaportofficials said job candidates must beexperienced mariners and also be comfortablewith the public because of the mediaattention and crowds the ship will attractduring its three-month trip.“They have to be absolutely qualified tomanage this artifact, which has national andinternational importance,” said DanaHewson, the museum’s vice president forWatercraft Preservation and Programs.“They also have to embrace the role of thepublic nature of this endeavor.”Applicants must have a 500-ton NearCoastal Master license and 10 years of commandexperience on traditional sailing vesselswith extensive knowledge in square-rigsailing. The job could require the captain towork with the media, passengers and governorsof the states the ship is visiting.Qualifications limit the size of the pool ofcandidates, Hewson said.“It’s a relatively small world, so it’s certainlybeen known in the field that we’d bedoing this,” he said.The Morgan’s last voyage ended in 1921and is the world’s only surviving woodenwhaling ship.The ship, which was launched by MysticSeaport in July, will visit ports in Boston,New Bedford, New London, Newport andProvincetown next year. Organizers and scientistssay one of its most important destinationswill be Stellwagen Bank off Boston,which had been a hunting ground for whalesand is now a refuge.The Morgan will sail with a mission toraise public awareness of the importance ofprotecting the oceans and its species and ofwhale watching as a sustainable business.Hewson said the museum hopes toannounce the new captain in the next two orthree months. The captain will be involvedin the fitting out of the ship next spring andthe job will end once the voyage is completedin August 2014.Mystic Seaport did not disclose the salary.Court hears Pledge of Allegiance challengeWoman charged afterpolice find pot duringfire investigationEAST PROVIDENCE –The process of extinguishingTuesday’s fire at the WarrenAvenue Liquor Mart has led totrouble for a tenant over alarge quantity of marijuanaallegedly discovered inside herthird floor apartment.According to Police Sgt.Diogo Mello, head of the viceunit, when firefighters were inthe process of knocking downthe blaze in the building at thecorner of Warren Avenue andLyon Avenue, they discoveredmarijuana “grow rooms” in thesecond and third floor apartmentsand the basement.Police obtained a search warrantand allegedly foundnumerous marijuana plantsand marijuana in both the secondand third floor apartments.The tenants of both apartmentseach told police theywere licensed medical marijuanacaregivers and took careof patients living elsewhere,police said. The third floor tenanthad one off-site patient andthe second floor tenant caredfor two, police said.Under the state’s new medicalmarijuana law, a licensedcaregiver is allowed to have upto 12 marijuana plants and 2.5oz. of useable marijuana onthe premises, said Mello.However, inside the third floorapartment of 22-year-oldShanika Hodge, police recoveredabout 4.4 pounds of marijuanafrom various glass containersand a bucket, saidMello.JAY LINDSAYAssociated PressBOSTON (AP) — Six Roman Catholicclerics and a choir director were namedpublicly as alleged abusers for the first timeby a prominent lawyer for clergy sex abusevictims.Attorney Mitchell Garabedian releasedthe names of the five priests, one nun andthe choir director on Wednesday.Each of the alleged victims is a client ofGarabedian's and all their cases were settledwithin the last year for amounts rangingfrom the high five figures to the low sixfigures, he said.Garabedian periodically releases newnames publicly, and is highly critical ofCatholic church officials for what he says istheir refusal to consistently do so.He said the public disclosures are neededto help victims heal and also as a matterof public safety, if the alleged abuser is stillalive.Garabedian said it is also a reminderthat, despite decreased media coverage, theclergy sex abuse crisis is ongoing."I don't expect it to ever end,"Garabedian said.The crisis broke nationally in 2002 afterThe Boston Globe wrote a series of storiesrevealing that church officials in Boston“There is no religious bias in thestatute,” said Geoffrey Bok, an attorneyfor the school district.Eric Rassbach, deputy general counselfor The Becket Fund for ReligiousLiberty, told the justices that the phrase“under God” has a long history as anexpression of a “political philosophy”and is not a religious declaration.“It’s always been used to limit first thepower of the king and now the power ofgovernment,” Rassbach said after thehearing. “It’s not a religious statement ...no one is getting up there and saying aprayer when they say the Pledge ofAllegiance.”Last year, a Massachusetts judgefound that the words “under God” in thepledge did not violate state law or theschool’s anti-discrimination policy. JudgeS. Jane Haggerty found that including“under God” in a voluntary patrioticexercise does not “convert the exerciseinto a prayer.” The family appealed theruling.The case stems from a lawsuit filed bythe couple in 2010. Their name was notdisclosed.Niose said the family is seeking a rulingthat declares unconstitutional the currentdaily classroom recitation of thepledge.The original pledge was adopted byCongress in 1942 and did not contain thewords “under God.” The phrase wasadded in 1954.The justices peppered Niose withquestions about how far the ban on thepledge should extend, noting that thepledge is recited at sporting events andother gatherings. Chief Justice RoderickIreland noted that there are other referencesto God made in public places,including at state courthouses wherecourt officers include “God save theCommonwealth of Massachusetts” in adaily recitation.Niose said those references are “ceremonial”and not recited on a daily basisby children for their 13 years in publicschool.The court did not immediately rule.Decisions typically are published severalmonths after oral arguments.Any ruling by the court would applyonly to Massachusetts because the languageof the Pledge of Allegiance is setby federal law.Mass. lawyer releases new list of alleged abusersshifted pedophile priests between parisheswithout disclosing their alleged crimes.At least four of the seven previouslyunnamed people on Garabedian's list aredeceased. All four worked in the BostonArchdiocese during the alleged abuse,which occurred between 1963 and 1985.The Rev. Alan Caparella, a Franciscan,worked at St. Leonard's of Port MauriceParish in Boston. Brother Paul White, aCapuchin, worked at St. Lawrence Friary inMilton. The Rev. Joseph Maffei, of theSalesians of Don Bosco, worked at SacredHeart Retreat House in Ipswich. W. EmmittO'Brien was children's choir director at St.John Chrysostom Church in West Roxbury.Terry Donilon, a spokesman for theBoston Archdiocese, referred questionsabout the other priests to their religiousorders, which he said would have handledany claims. The orders either didn't commentor didn't know anything about thepriests.Donilon said the archdiocese remainsdedicated to restoring trust and "implementingour significant policies and practicesfor the protection of children."He did not answer a question aboutO'Brien, who was a layman.White's alleged victim said Whiteabused her in the late 1960s when she wasabout 9 and he was living in Milton.May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be (never known to fail)adored, glorified, loved andOh most beautiful flower of Mt.preserved throughout the world, Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendour ofnow and forever.

B2 THE CALL AMUSEMENTSThursday, September 5, 2013Single mom rips older workersfor staying on the job too longDEAR ABBY: I amappalled at older workers whohang onto their jobs so theycan live lavish lifestyles, whileyoung workers trying to supportfamilies are left with lackof advancement or even laidoff because they don’t havetenure.I am a single mom, andwhen my sons are out of collegeI plan to take a lessstressful job (and thus lesspay), so a younger person canhave my job to support a family.I am so tired of the MEME ME attitude of our societynow. In the past, there wasmore of a sense of socialresponsibility. Now it’s everyman for himself and hangeveryone else!— DISGUSTED INCOLUMBUS, OHIODEAR DISGUSTED:While your altruism is laudable,please try to be less judgmental.Many older peoplework longer these days not tolive lavish lifestyles, but to survive.Unless you have a crystalball that enables you to seewhat seniors have in the bank,it’s presumptuous to say someoneshould retire. Many seniorsare unprepared financiallyto do so through no fault oftheir own. And while you maythink now that you’ll take areduction in pay when yoursons are out of college, itremains to be seen if that willbe feasible for you when thetime comes.******DEAR ABBY: My cousinDEAR ABBYJeanne Phillipsdied a short time ago at a veryyoung age and in an unnaturaland devastating way. As soonas people outside the familystarted finding out, theybegan asking what happened.Many of these questions wereposted on my relatives’Facebook pages.Is it just me or isn’t that avery insensitive thing to do?It’s not just that they are askingquestions of a grievingfamily who lost their son onlyhours before, but that they didit through Facebook.— MOURNING IN THEMIDWESTDEAR MOURNING:Please accept my sympathyfor your family’s tragic loss.We live in an age in whichrespect for privacy has nearlydisappeared, and folks routinelybare intimate and sensitivedetails about their liveson the Internet. Of coursequestions like the ones yourrelatives are being asked aretasteless — whether in personor via electronic media. If aperson wishes to convey thiskind of information, it is usuallydone VOLUNTARILY,and certainly not when feelingsare raw.******DEAR ABBY: Too oftenwe hear horrifying stories inthe news about prescriptiondrug addiction and overdoses.I’d like to offer hope toaddicts who are still using.There IS life after drugs.For 10 years I was addicted topain pills. My poor mothertried everything. She offeredme trips or help in buying anew car if I would just go torehab. I refused because I wasn’tready. I finally hit rock bottomand went into rehab whenI realized my daughter waspulling away from me. I hadbeen spending our rent moneyon pills I’d buy on the streets.After I was sober for a fewdays, I realized I liked the feeling.After the sixth day, I was“me” again, and I loved it. Ihave been sober for two yearsand am now entering schoolto become a patient tech. It’sexciting because I will be helpingothers.

(AP) — Rob Gronkowski is making steadyprogress from his forearm and back operations.Now he just has to get back into football condition.The star tight end isn't saying if he expects to play in NewEngland's opener Sunday at Buffalo, but he's noticeably skinnierafter cutting back on his usual workouts while recovering."I'm just rehabbing everything," Gronkowski said Wednesday. "Iwant to have my whole body strong and just have got to keep ongrinding and keep on working on all aspects in order to get back."Gronkowski had back surgery June 18, about a month after thefourth operation on the left forearm he broke last Nov. 18 against theIndianapolis Colts. He had surgery, missed five games, then returnedfor the regular-season finale. But he rebroke the forearm on Jan. 13in the AFC divisional round when the Patriots beat the HoustonTexans 41-28.He's had three forearm surgeriessince then, and said he hasn'thad any setbacks.On Wednesday, he participatedon a limited basis in practice."Do I expect to play onSunday," he asked. "I'm preparingevery single day to the max ofmy ability, preparing every day to(do) the best I can. And when mynumber's called, that's when I'llplay."I can't tell you when that willbe."He still isn't at full strength."It's not just the forearm andback, obviously," he said. "Whenyou're taking off a little like that,you've got to get conditionedagain. You've got to get strongerthroughout your whole body,Rob Gronkowskiyour legs, your upper body, yourarms. So that's all in play, too.You just can't jump out there just because your arm's ready."Being sidelined "was difficult," Gronkowski said. "That doesn'tmatter anymore. It's irrelevant now. The only thing relevant is movingforward every day."He practiced in full pads on Monday for the first time since hisback surgery. How did he look a couple of days later?"Another couple days," coach Bill Belichick said. "We're trying tokeep stringing them together, trying to keep heading in the rightdirection, just trying to keep taking it day by day."There may be no rush to get Gronkowski back since the Patriots'first two games are against AFC East opponents who they shouldbeat, the Bills and the New York Jets. Their third game is on Sept. 22at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.When Gronkowski had back surgery, it was reported that therecovery period for a player to return to a game was about 12 weeks.Sunday's opener is just two days before that."It doesn't matter what that says," Gronkowski said. "It just mattershow your body feels, how the rehab program's going and howyou're progressing every day. So you just look forward to every day."Quarterback Tom Brady had experience playing withoutGronkowski last season."For his first couple of years of his career, he didn't miss anythingand then he missed some games last year," Brady said, "Then wekind of went into, 'OK, this is what we're doing without Gronk.' Andthat's the situation we've been in all spring and summer."It's like he hasn't even been a part of the team. I mean, he's beena part of the team, doing what he needs to do to get ready, but interms of what our offense was doing, the other guys have to step inand do the job that we're asking them to do."Those guys are free-agent rookie Zach Sudfeld, and veteransSee GRONKOWSKI, page C6Girls’ tennisRough start: Moses Brown spoilsMSC’s debut on new home courtsBy ERIC BENEVIDESebenevides@pawtuckettimes.comWOONSOCKET — Moses Brown did everything it possiblycould to steal the show from its host on Wednesday in thevery first regular-season match at Mount St. Charles’ sparklingnew courts across Logee Street.The Quakers made history by netting the facility’s first singlesvictory. Minutes later, they also came away with the firstdoubles triumph.And an hour and a half later, they wrapped up their eventfulafternoon by busing back to Providence with a 6-1 verdict overthe Mounties.The Division I-B loss was a difficult start to the season forthe Mounties and head coach Marissa Pitrone-Marsh, who aseason ago, went 9-3 during the regular season and reached theDivision I championship match for the ninth time in 11 years,where they lost to unbeaten two-time champion La Salle.“I lost five seniors (from that team),” she admitted. “I lostmy three top singles players and my No. 1 doubles (team). Thisis a rebuilding year, but I think as the season goes on, we’re justgoing to get better and better. Every year, you can’t count usout. The progression of our players getting better, I know it’sgoing to happen.”Liz Kinsella, Moses Brown’s two-time All-State senior,picked up the historic first victory in No. 1 singles by notchinga 6-0, 6-1 victory over senior tri-captain Julie Marcinak.And immediately after Kinsella and Marcinak stepped offtheir court, the Quakers’ No. 1 doubles tandem of Racie Moranand Taylor Thiesen finished its match with an equally impressive6-0, 6-2 win over Meaghan Dubois and Sam Bacon.Blackstone Valley Sports photos by ERNEST A. BROWNMount St. Charles Academy’s top two singles players, senior tri-captain Julie Marciniak (left) and sophomore Kate Foley (right),played well in losing causes on Wednesday afternoon in the Mounties’ 6-1 defeat to Moses Brown on the school’s new courtson Logee Street.Shortly later, the visitors clinched the match. Annie DaSilvadefeated Kate Foley in No. 2 singles, 6-4, 6-0, and the No. 2doubles team of Margot Creamer and Maddie Gorgi downedthe Mounties’ team of Jen Lapine and Jess Morelle, 6-2, 6-2.“It’s our first home match on these courts, so I know theyfelt a little bit of pressure, a little stress,” said Pitrone-Marsh,who was missing her No. 4 singles player, Kylie Finnerty, to aninjury and was forced to juggle her doubles teams. “The firstmatch of the season is always stressful enough, so maybe theygot the shakes and the jitters.”The Mounties picked up their victory in No. 3 singles, asJulia Martin secured a hard-fought 6-3, 6-4 win over Leah Falk,and the No. 3 doubles team of Caroline Cardosa and TrishaBhatin nearly produced another victory, but they dropped aclose 6-3, 3-6, 10-8 decision to the squad of Lauren Gunastiand Allison Rao.Also playing well in a losing cause was Katelyn Gagnon inNo. 4 singles, as the senior tri-captain, who moved up from No.1 doubles, suffered a 7-6 (9-7), 6-2 defeat to Singne Brown.While Moses Brown figures to be awfully tough this year,Pitrone-Marsh knows that the Quakers aren’t the only team tokeep an eye on in what promises to be an ultra competitiveDivision I.“I know East Greenwich is going to be a force to be reckonedwith,” she reported. “They have some really strong players.And La Salle, as always, has such a deep team that I know theywill be in the running. It’s going to be an interesting season.”The Mounties will visit La Salle on Monday in a 4 p.m.match and then host South Kingstown on Wednesday afternoon.Both matches are crossover contests.Follow Eric Benevides on Twitter @EricBen24

Girardi plansto talk retirement with RiveraNEW YORK (AP) — Yankees manager Joe Girardi sayshe'll talk to Mariano Rivera in the offseason about whether theNew York Yankees closer definitely wants to retire.Girardi told ESPNNewYork.com on Tuesday that he thoughtRivera could still be a very effective closer next year.Girardi said he'll advise baseball's career saves leader to takea month or two this winter to make sure he wants to walk awayfrom the game even though he's stayed healthy all year.The 43-year-old Rivera announced his plans to retire duringspring training and has been on something of a farewell touraround the majors all season. He insisted he's made his decision."I told you guys already. I don't know why we're talkingabout this," he said.Girardi was asked about his comments after Rivera earnedhis 40th save in New York's 6-4 victory over the Chicago WhiteSox. The manager said he's not lobbying Rivera to return, hewould simply be offering the perspective of a former playerwho retired at 39 because of aches and pains.Girardi said he knows it's difficult for an older player toattempt a comeback after hanging up his spikes, so he thinks itGirls’ tennisNorthmen blank Novans in openerWOONSOCKET – The North Smithfield High singlesquartet of Hailey Raskob, Jessica Blakemore, Gabby Lafondand Caitlyn Murray dropped only four games between them enroute to an easy 7-0 Division III win over Woonsocket at theAylsworth Avenue courts on Wednesday.Both Lafond and Murray took their matches at 6-0, 6-0 forthe Northmen.***North Smithfield 7, Woonsocket 0Singles: Hailey Raskob (NS) def.

hursday, September 5, 2013GolfTwenty-year-old player landsspot on Presidents Cup teamSpieth becomes youngest American to earn berthBy The Associated PressJordan Spieth started the season without statuson any tour. He ends it by going to the PresidentsCup.Fred Couples used his captain's picksWednesday on the 20-year-old Spieth andWebb Simpson to fill out his 12-man team, makingSpieth the youngest American to play in the PresidentsCup since it began in 1994."I'm just super stoked," Spieth said.Nick Price used his picks on a pair of rookies —Brendon de Jonge of Zimbabwe and Marc Leishmanof Australia — as the International team tries to winfor only the second time. The matches are Oct. 3-6 atMuirfield Village in Dublin, Ohio.Spieth was just starting his sophomore year atTexas a year ago when he decided to turn pro at theend of 2012, even though he failed to get out of thesecond stage of PGA Tour qualifying and was not amember of any tour. He played well enough to earnspecial temporary status on the PGA Tour, won theJohn Deere Classic in July and lost in a playoff lastmonth at the Wyndham Championship.He is assured of being the first player since TigerWoods in 1996 to start a season without status andreach the Tour Championship.Couples left out young players his last two times ascaptain — Dustin Johnson in 2009, Keegan Bradley in2011, even though Bradley had won the PGAChampionship for his second win as a rookie. Thecaptain said he had help from his team "and probablyall of the United States" in taking Spieth.Couples said not taking Bradley in 2011 "wore onme a little bit," especially after watching Bradley playwell at the Ryder Cup a year later."I'm going with the young guy and our whole teamis excited," Couples said. "We have a great team, butto pick Jordan I think was the right move."By taking the rookie, Couples left Jim Furyk off anAmerican team for the first time since the 1997 RyderCup, ending a streak of 15 straight teams. Couplessaid it was such a tough decision that he did not callFuryk, and left him a text message late Tuesday night.Furyk didn't mind the delivery — "All you're lookingfor is contact," he said — and while he was disappointed,he said Couples was in a tough spot."Everyone is going to argue what the right call is,"Furyk said. "He had so many good players ... he wasn'tgoing to make a bad choice."Couples also said he would consider Johnson, whohasn't won since the Tournament of Championship inJanuary at Kapalua.Simpson was inside the top 10 who qualified formost of the two-year process until the final hole, whenZach Johnson made a 25-foot birdie putt at the TPCBoston to move into the 10th spot by what amountedto $5,715 in PGA Tour earnings. Couples had saidMonday night he was leaning toward Simpson.Furyk narrowly made the Presidents Cup last timeand then went 5-0 at Royal Melbourne. He also is apast champion at the Memorial, played at MuirfieldVillage."The whole thing was not fun," Couples said. "Iknow all the stats. But at the same time, Jordandeserves to be on the team and Webb Simpson is aclass act, great player. As Nick Price says, you get twopicks and those are who we are going with."Price, on the other hand, leaned on history atMuirfield Village in guiding his picks. He said TimClark does not have a long history playing theMemorial, and that de Jonge and Leishman were bettersuited for Muirfield Village."We can debate amongst the three guys from hereuntil eternity as to what you think and who you feelwould be best," Price said. "But I had to make thedecision yesterday, and I really think that out of thethree guys, Brendon and Marc would probably end upplaying Muirfield better than Tim does."The picks meant that Price will have six rookies onhis team, though it's not like experience has helped theInternational side in the past. The Presidents Cup hasbecome a lopsided event, with Americans holding a 7-1-1 advantage. They have won the last four times, andthe last three matches have not been particularly close.Besides, the Americans had six rookies a year agoand won handily in Melbourne."It's going to be a tough job for us to win the cup,but I think we have got a really strong team rightnow," Price said.Thirteen-year-old lands criticism on European TourCRANS-SUR-SIERRE, Switzerland (AP) — Theuropean Tour's oldest champion has criticized theppearance of the tour's youngest competitor in theuropean Masters.Miguel Angel Jimenez, who was 48 when he wonast year's Hong Kong Open, was introduced on therans-sur-Sierre practice range on Wednesday to Yeo-cheng, who was 12 in May when he played in hisome China Open.CyclingJimenez, the 2010 European Masters winner, was atodds with a sponsor's decision to give Ye an invitationto compete this week."It is nice to see that golf is interesting no matterwhat the age but for me, a 13-year-old competingagainst professionals is a little a bit too young," he said."People want to start things too early and a 13-year-oldshould be playing alongside other 13-year-olds and notplayers averaging 33 years of age.SPORTS THE CALL C3Track and fieldBolt plans to retireafter Rio OlympicsBRUSSELS (AP) — Usain Bolt plans to retire after the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.Bolt said Wednesday he wants to win more gold in Rio, set another world record inthe 200 meters next year, and perhaps win a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games."So far, (it) is after the Olympics in Rio," Bolt said of his retirement plans. "I think ifI am in great shape, I'll go there and do what I have to do. I think it will be a good timeto retire on top."Winning another three golds inMoscow last month made himthe most decorated athlete inworld championship history witheight gold and two silvers. He hassix gold medals from theOlympics."If I want to be among thegreats of (Muhammad) Ali andPele and all these guys, I have tocontinue dominating until Iretire," Bolt said ahead of his finalrace this season in the 100 atFriday's Van Damme Memorial.Bolt won the 100, 200 and4x100 relay at the 2008 BeijingOlympics and at last year'sLondon Games. He won thesame triple at the 2009 worldsbefore repeating that feat inMoscow last month.At 27, Bolt has the experienceto know that a lax season midwaybetween Olympics can hurt him.In 2010, a soft entry into the yearand subsequent injury cost himalmost a full season."I kind of didn't do much inthe offseason and then got injuredand had to start from scratch. Sothis season, I will not make thatmistake again," Bolt said.Like 2010, next season has nomajor championships, but Bolt isthinking of new goals for 2014.He already owns the 100 and200 world records and shares the4x100 with his Jamaican teammates.He acknowledges the 100record of 9.58 seconds will beextremely tough to better, but hehopes to improve on the 19.19 heran in the 200 in Berlin four yearsago."I have learned, I have masteredthe art of running the turn," Bolt said of the 200. "So if I can stay injury free andUsain Boltbe in good shape, then it is possible for me to definitely go after the world record."As a Jamaican, Bolt can compete in the Commonwealth Games, too, something hehas yet to do. Next year, the event will be held in Glasgow, Scotland."I have never been to Commonwealths and so it is always good to add to your collectionof gold medals," Bolt said.Judge orders Armstrong to answer doping questionsAUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A Texas judge isushing Lance Armstrong closer to his firstworn testimony on details of his performancenhancingdrug use, ordering the cyclist tonswer questions about who knew what andhen about his doping, including possibly hisx-wife and his attorneys.Nebraska-based Acceptance Insuranceolding is seeking the information in its lawsuito recover $3 million in bonuses it paidrmstrong from 1999 to 2001. A judge previuslyrefused to dismiss the case.Acceptance is trying to prove a yearslongonspiracy and cover-up by Armstrong to comitfraud. It wants to know when several ofrmstrong's personal and business associates —ncluding ex-wife Kristin Armstrong, team offiials,the cyclist's lawyers and Internationalycling Union President Pat McQuaid — firstearned of his doping.Armstrong's attorneys objected to thoseemands in court documents, arguing the forercyclist already has acknowledged cheatingnd that Acceptance is engaged in a "harassing,alicious ... fishing expedition" intended tomake a spectacle of Armstrong's doping."Travis County District Judge Tim Sulak lasteek ordered Armstrong to provide documentsnd written answers to a series of questions byhe end of September. The case has been set forrial in April 2014.The questions seek information dating to1995 and ask Armstrong to detail who was paidfor delivered performance-enhancing drugs,who determined what amount to use and administeredthem, and who was aware of his druguse. Acceptance specifically asks for informationon when and how Armstrong's closestfriends, advisers, ex-wife and business partnerslearned of his doping.After more than a decade of denials,Armstrong told Oprah Winfrey in a Januaryinterview that he doped to win the Tour deFrance seven times, titles that have now beenstripped away. But the admission lacked detailsand he has refused to provide sworn testimonyto a the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, even when itwas presented as his only chance to lift his lifetimeban from sport.Mark Kincaid, an attorney for Acceptance,declined to comment, but previously said hewould push to depose Armstrong under oath.Armstrong attorney Tim Herman did notrespond to a request for comment.Armstrong's lawyers said information aboutex-wife Kristin Armstrong and the attorneys isexempt from disclosure under spouse and attorney-clientprivilege. Acceptance argues there areno protections for spouses and lawyers whomay be aware of fraud.The judge ordered Armstrong to answer thequestions. He can claim spouse or attorneyclientprivilege, but if he does, Acceptancewould be allowed to challenge whether theinformation should be withheld and ask thejudge to decide.The USADA report on Armstrong includedwitness statements from at least three formerteammates who said Kristin Armstrong participatedin or at least knew about doping on theteams and knew team code names for the bloodboosterEPO kept in her refrigerator. Postal riderJonathan Vaughters testified that she handed riderscortisone pills wrapped in foil.Acceptance also wants Armstrong to revealany payments made to cover up doping.The insurer's list of names includesMcQuaid, who is fighting to keep his job ashead of cycling's international governing body.McQuaid and predecessor Hein Verbruggenhave been accused of ignoring the doping culturein the sport and accepting money fromArmstrong in exchange for turning a blind eyeREADER’S REWARDSGET YOUR NAME IN THE HATEnter to win 2 tickets to:to his team's doping practices. Both have deniedany wrongdoing, and McQuaid has said he was"fooled" by Armstrong.The Acceptance lawsuit is just one of severalpending against Armstrong.Federal prosecutors have joined a whistleblowerlawsuit that seeks to recover more than$30 million in sponsorship money paid toArmstrong by the U.S. Postal Service. SCAPromotions, a Dallas-based insurance company,has sued for $12 million it paid him in performancebonuses.And in California, a federal judge is consideringa class-action lawsuit against Armstrongby readers of his book "It's Not About the Bike"that claims fraud and false advertising.Armstrong recently settled with the Britishnewspaper The Sunday Times, which sued himto recover damages from a previous libel case.Have you lost your beloved pet?Pet Death Notices will publishon our Pet Page every Monday.Pay tributeto your loved one.Sample, actual sizeHarley2002-2013We will never forget thegreatest dog ever.Love and miss you, Harley.Christina, Victor and AvaBevilacquaSubmit photo and death notice for only $20Mail to: The Call, 75 Main St., Woonsocket, RI 02895Or e-mail klevesque@woonsocketcall.comENTRY FORM: New England’s Got TalentName:________________________________________________Street Address:__________________________________________City:_______________________________________State:______Phone Number:_________________________________________Must be 18 years old to enter.The Call - Reader’s Rewards75 Main St., Woon., RI 02895Please mail or drop off entry form to:ORSat., September 28 @ 7:00p.m.6 Pairs of tickets will be awarded.(Ticket value: $21.00)Entries must be received byThursday, September 19, 2013 atnoon.

While Pennettawas laid up after her operation last September,they spoke on the phone and sent text messagesback and forth."She went through some ugly times," saidVinci, who lost in last year's U.S. Open quarterfinalsto yet another Italian, her current doublespartner Sara Errani."But Flavia is strong-headed. She's stubborn,"Vinci continued, rapping a wooden table with herright fist. "She's someone who, when she wantssomething, she wants it all costs, which is theright way to be."Back in 2009, Pennetta was the first womanfrom Italy to be ranked in the top 10. But she wasoff the tour from August 2012 until February2013, and dropped down as far as 166th after hercomeback began with a 3-7 record.Her ranking was still too low last month to getdirectly into the U.S. Open's main draw, butanother player's withdrawal put Pennetta in theSPORTS ON THE AIRTODAYMAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL7 p.m. — Boston at N.Y.

It's what I hoped for at the start ofthis year, to be honest. It didn't happen as easily oras quickly as I'd hoped," she said.

Thursday, September 5, 2013NFLSPORTS THE CALL C5Bills’ rookie QB gets start against PatriotsFlorida State product was only quarterback taken in first round of this year’s draftORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Once Bills quarterback EJanuel practiced Sunday for the first time in two weeks, coachoug Marrone had an inkling the rookie first-round draft pickight be ready to open the season.On Wednesday, Marrone was convinced, announcing Manuelad fully recovered from a left knee injury and will start against theew England Patriots on Sunday."He's 110 percent. He looks good out there," Marrone said folowingpractice. "And that's what we're going to go with."That's a relief for Marrone. He was expressing uncertainty aboutanuel's status since the quarterback was hurt scrambling during a0-16 preseason win over Minnesota Aug. 16."Obviously, being a Catholic, there were a lot of prayers tohat," Marrone said. "I mean, honestly, you go home and say 'Gosh,hope he's healthy,' but you really don't know."Manuel was far more confident he would be ready, especiallyfter taking part in individual drills on Sunday in his first practiceince having what the team called a "minor procedure" Aug. 18."I felt I would be good to go a few days ago as far as my knee,"anuel said. "I know mentally, if I had the chance to go out andlay, I'd be ready for it."Manuel showed little sign of a limp despite wearing a smallrace during practice."I haven't had any hesitation," Manuel said, noting he hasn'tetermined whether he'll wear the brace on Sunday. "It feels fine. Iteels strong, so I can do all my normal movements."He opened practice as he had done in training camp. Taking thesnap, Manuel dumped a short pass over the middle to C.J. Spiller,and then took off running without a sign of a hitch toward the endzone with the rest of the starting offense.Manuel also spent another half-hour throwing passes followingpractice.His return is the first bit of positive news for the retooled androokie-laden Bills, who have been stung by a series of setbacksover the past week.Starting cornerback Stephon Gilmore will miss the first monthwith a broken left wrist. Starting safety Jairus Byrd's status isuncertain because of a foot injury and after he missed most of theoffseason before signing his franchise tender two weeks ago.Kicker became an issue after rookie Dustin Hopkins hurt hisright groin in practice Monday. Marrone called the injury minor,but ruled Hopkins out from playing Sunday. Dan Carpenter will fillin after the fifth-year player signed Tuesday.Quarterback has been the Bills' most pressing need over the pasttwo weeks.Had Manuel not been ready, the Bills would've been forced tostart undrafted rookie Jeff Tuel, the only other quarterback on theiractive roster. Buffalo was placed in this position after veteran freeagentaddition Kevin Kolb sustained a season-ending concussion.The Bills scrambled to add quarterbacks by signing free-agentveteran Matt Leinart and acquiring Thaddeus Lewis in a trade withDetroit. Leinart was cut on Friday, a day after he struggled in a preseasonloss to the Lions. Lewis was also cut, but has since beensigned to Buffalo's practice squad.Manuel now gets his opportunity to be the opening-day starter,just as the Bills had envisioned in April, when they selected himwith the 16th pick in the NFL draft. The Florida State product wasthe first and only quarterback taken in the first round.He arrived in Buffalo with the expectation of filling a positionthat's been unsettled since Hall of Famer Jim Kelly retired followingthe 1996 season.Marrone isn't lowering his expectations with Manuel set tomake his NFL debut, and against an AFC East rival that has won18 of the past 19 games against Buffalo."I'd be lying if I'm sitting here saying, 'I don't expect him to dogreat things,'" Marrone said. "We expect not just EJ, but all of ourplayers that are out there to perform at a very, very high level."Manuel is a strong-armed and mobile player, who best fitsMarrone's up-tempo approach to offense.In two preseason games, Manuel was inconsistent, but showedencouraging signs of developing as a starter. He went a combined26 of 33 for 199 yards passing, with two touchdowns and no interceptions.Center Eric Wood was excited about Manuel's return, andbelieves the rookie will be ready Sunday."I don't think it'll be too big for him," Wood said, noting Manuelhad a 25-6 record, including four Bowl victories, at Florida State."He's got a good head on his shoulders."Concussion deal may not be end of league’s legal battleBy The Associated PressThe NFL's concussion settlementmay not have settled anything.On Wednesday, two formerSuper Bowl champions — TroyAikman and John Lynch, now FoxSports broadcasters — contended the league hasmore work to do.Aikman wants the NFL to divulge moredetails about what it knew regarding the longtermimpact of repeated blows to the head, andwhen it knew it. Lynch said he expects evenmore litigation after the league tentativelyagreed last week to pay out $765 million to agroup of former players."What I'm happy about is that there are playersthat need it (the money) and need it now,and they're going to be taken care of," Lynchsaid. "But I think the notion that this is donenow and we can move on is not really the reality.A new lawsuit was filed today, and from talkingwith Scott (Fujita) I think there are more tocome."It wasn't immediately clear which lawsuitJets tab Smith quarterbackfor opener vs. BuccaneersFormer Patriot receiver Moss joins Fox SportsLynch was referring to, though one was filedSunday in New Orleans. Former NFL playersJimmy Williams, Rich Mauti, Jimmy Keyes andNolan Franz claim the league hid informationabout the dangers of brain injury.While neither Lynch nor Aikman were partof the original lawsuit, both know a thing or twoabout concussions.Lynch was one of the league's hardest hittingsafeties in Tampa Bay and Denver from 1993through 2007. Though Lynch has said he wasnever officially diagnosed with a concussion, hetold a Tampa columnist in 2011 that there weretimes he was "woozy" and asked a teammate totake his spot closer to the line of scrimmagewhile he recovered.Aikman won three Super Bowls with theCowboys during the 1990s, but his 12-yearcareer ended prematurely in part because ofrepeated concussions.Today, Lynch and Aikman say they feel"great" and have shown no symptoms of longtermdamage.In fact, Aikman said he recently was tested inDallas. Doctors, Aikman said, told him Tuesdaythat the tests were all clear.While Aikman believes the settlement willhelp the former players with the most immediateneed, he called the settlement a "win" for theNFL."It's a lot of money, but I think in terms ofwhat could have been paid, it's not that much,"Aikman said. "I think probably in the bigscheme of things, it's a real positive. These guyswill be able to benefit some and some moneywill be put into research, which will help. Theone thing I'm disappointed about is that the NFLdidn't have to acknowledge what they knewabout (the long-term impact) and when theyknew about it. I think full disclosure would havebeen the best way to go, but that's not going tohappen now."If Lynch is right, perhaps the league will beforced into divulging more details.Until then, the two will continue callinggames on Fox Sports, where they have a newteammate in Randy Moss. The former receiverhas rarely held his tongue, which is exactlywhat Fox executives wanted."He's being himself," Fox Sports executiveproducer John Entz said. "He's being very naturaland organic, which is what we love abouthim."Moss acknowledged that he hasn't settled ona style, and he may show a certain penchant forteams he played with during his career. Whenasked to pick which NFC North team hethought would pose the biggest challenge toGreen Bay's reign, he first said he was "biased"before blurting out the expected: The MinnesotaVikings.And like the eccentric receiver who startedhis career in Minnesota, Moss didn't mincewords, noting the two most important positionsin football are quarterback and running back."I'm just excited to have something differentin my life and something that I do know aboutis football," he said. "There's not too manythings I do know about, but I do know football."FLORHAM PARK, N.J.AP) — Geno Smith is the newace of the franchise for theew York Jets.Well, at least for the openingame of the season.Beyond that, we'll see.The rookie quarterback willtart for the Jets in the opener atome Sunday against theampa Bay Buccaneers. Theeam finally confirmedednesday what had beenxpected since Mark Sancheznjured his right shoulder in areseason game against theiants on Aug. 24."They'll try to rattle myage," Smith said of theuccaneers. "I expect thoseuys to come out fired up andhey want to make a statement.hey've got a rookie quarterackand they'll want to hit mend get me off my game, but Ixpect those things. And I lookorward to it."But, will Greg Schiano's deensebe able to unnerve him?"No," Smith said with aonfident smile.Smith, who had an up-andownpreseason, was the team'second-round draft pick out ofest Virginia after he was proectedby many to be selectedarly in the opening round.fter Smith threw three intereptionsand took a safety inhree-plus quarters against theiants, it was widely assumedanchez had won the job. Butex Ryan chose to put Sanchezn the game in the fourth quarer— and he suffered thenjury that could sideline himeveral weeks."We realize that a rookieuarterback and all that, that'sertainly a challenge," Ryanaid. "I think our guys areeady to rally behind Geno, andhe big thing we've told Genos, 'You just have to be part ofhe solution.'"Despite announcing Smiths the starter for this week,yan wouldn't commit to hims the long-term guy underenter. It was an approach thatas echoed by both owneroody Johnson and generalanager John Idzik."We'll always put the bestlayer we can on the field onSunday, and that will continue,"Johnson said. "The competition'songoing."With Smith stepping intothe starter's role, it makesSanchez's status with the teamunclear. Ryan has still neverdeclared a winner to the competition— and he might notever do so. If Smith can besolid during Sanchez's absence,he could make it hard for Ryanto pull him. And, by never sayingwhether Smith or Sanchezhad won the job, Ryan wouldnever technically have benchedthe anointed starter.While many look at themove as the team moving forwardwith a new quarterback,Idzik was asked if, when&PresentNew England’s Largesthealthy, Sanchez has a chanceto be the Jets' starter again."Yes, of course he does,"Idzik said.The Jets also have the inexperiencedMatt Simms, whohad a terrific preseason, andrecently signed journeymanBrady Quinn. But withSanchez not ready to playSunday, the choice for Ryan,Idzik and offensive coordinatorMarty Mornhinweg was easyfor this week."We'll go through some upsand downs, I guarantee youthat," Mornhinweg told theteam's website.

(AP) —There's something about JarrodParker's presence on themound that is bringing out thebest in the Oakland Athletics.Especially against YuDarvish and the TexasRangers.Parker got plenty of homerunhelp to pitch his way intoOakland's record book, and thesurging A's pulled into a tieatop the AL West with Texasby overpowering the Rangers11-4 on Wednesday."I'm just trying to stay inthe moment," Parker said.Parker (11-6) allowed tworuns in six innings to extendhis unbeaten streak to 18straight starts, eclipsing CatfishHunter's Oakland mark setfrom June 2-Sept. 3, 1973.Parker struck out four andwalked none.The 24-year-old has wonhis last nine decisions, themost by an A's pitcher sinceDan Haren won 10 in a row in2007. He hasn't lost since May22 at Texas."He goes out there andshuts teams down," right fielderBrandon Moss said. "Heputs the ball in play and doesn'twalk anybody. When hegets in trouble, he finds a wayto dig deep and get himself outof it. That's what aces do."Moss, Daric Barton andCoco Crisp each hit two-runhomers, and Josh Donaldsonadded a three-run drive forOakland. The A's handedDarvish (12-7) a loss in consecutivestarts for the first timeall season.Darvish gave up five runs— matching a season high —and tied a career-worst with sixwalks in five-plus innings. Heis 1-5 with a 4.82 ERA againstOakland.Darvish also made a pointedgesture that appeared to signalcatcher A.J. Pierzynski togo back behind the plate duringa mound visit by pitchingcoach Mike Maddux.Pierzynski downplayed theincident."He had a command issue. Iwent out there to calm himdown. I wasn't paying attention,"Pierzynski said.A's opening day starterBrett Anderson, working hisway back from a stress fracturein his right foot, allowed tworuns in three innings for hissecond save. Manager BobMelvin said he's trying tostretch out Anderson's appearancesto give the team theoption of inserting him backinto the rotation.A year after the A's completeda three-game sweepover the Rangers to win theBoys’ soccerdivision on the final day, theAL West race is again shapingup as a tight one. Oakland haswon eight of its last 10 to setup what should be a scintillatingSeptember. The teams playthree more times in Texas fromSept. 13-16."It should be fun,"Donaldson said.The Rangers, just as theydid a year ago, wilted in theirfinal regular season game atthe Oakland Coliseum.Darvish struggled with hiscommand from the start,bouncing balls in front of theplate and piling up his pitchcount. By the second, he hadalready matched a season highwith four walks and hadthrown 42 pitches.Moss sent his 26th homerun of the season over the wallin right in the first, and Crispdrove in the first of his fourRBIs in the second with a sacrificefly.Leonys Martin hit an RBIdouble and Craig Gentry singledhim home in the third toslice Oakland's lead to 3-2, butthe Rangers blew their bestchance to rally in the fifth.Shortstop Jed Lowrie bobbledJim Adduci's grounderand Martin's sacrifice buntmoved both runners into scoringposition.

D2 THE CALL ENTERTAINMENTThursday, September 5, 2013Harper joins ‘Dancing With the Stars’ competitionALICIA RANCILIOAssociated PressNEW YORK (AP) — Busy canerpatient Valerie Harper leads alass of 12 amateur hoofers in thepcoming 17th season of "Dancingith the Stars."The cast was revealedednesday on ABC's "Goodorning America." For a show thatas reached an increasingly olderudience, ABC added an injectionf youth with reality stars NicoleSnooki" Polizzi of "Jersey Shore"nd Ozzy's kid Jack Osbourne.Harper has defied odds with herurvival since being diagnosed earierthis year with brain cancer. Sheecently filmed a movie role andoined a Nick at Nite reunion ofThe Mary Tyler Moore" cast.A brain scan last month showedmprovement for the 74-year-oldormer sitcom star, whose doctorsay her cancer is getting close toemission. She will have her nextcan in October.In an interview with TheAssociated Press, Harper said thatso far, she's not taking any precautionswhen she's rehearsing."He (pro partner TristanMacManus) says, 'Do you want toget water?' Which is great becauseI don't drink enough water but(that's) not to do with the cancer ...(it's) not an impediment to dancingand I just try to stay healthy andcontinue to lose weight so I lookhalfway decent in the costumes,"she said with a laugh.Harper said of her decision tojoin the show: "There's a (Lee AnnWomack) country song (with thelyrics) 'when you get the choiceyou sit it out or dance/ I hope youdance.'"Other contestants on the newseason of "Dancing," which premieresSept. 16, are Bill Nye, the"Science Guy"; "Pretty Little Liars"actor Brant Daugherty; former NFLwide receiver Keyshawn Johnson;singer-actress Christina Milian;actress Elizabeth Berkley; "HighSchool Musical" actor Corbin Bleu;"Glee" actress Amber Riley; countrycomic Bill Engvall; and "Kingof Queens" actress Leah Remini.The celebrities and their propartners, minus Remini and dancerTony Dovolani, all made the trek toNew York to promote the show'sreturn.Although still a ratings winnerfor ABC in its 16th season, thecelebrity dancing contest has seenits overall audience decline andgrow older, an issue for networksthat get higher commercial ad ratesfor younger viewers."Dancing" will now air once aweek on Mondays rather thanMondays and Tuesdays."One day a week is fine withme! I need more time to rehearse,"said Milian."You get all the action in onenight. It's all killer, no filler," saidher partner, Mark Ballas.And with younger contestantslike Bleu, Daugherty and Riley, theshow might skew to a more youthfuldemo.There are changes behind thescenes, too. There are new professionaldancers, plucked from theshow's troupe. Contestants arestarting off with a four-hourrehearsal limit per day that willhopefully cut down on injuries andfatigue.The pros were mixed on whetherthey liked the time constraint andsaid it could change as the seasongoes on and they have to do morethan one dance per show."Now that we have a restrictedtime, I feel like we're gonna getmore done," said Derek Hough."That I don't like," said KarinaSmirnoff. "Four hours is tough.""Every single time that last hour(of rehearsal) ends up coming upwith both of us going, 'Oh no. It'snot there yet,'" said her partnerBleu.Smirnoff said she believes as theseason progresses, the rehearsalsmight get longer.The one thing the audience likelywon't see is twerking, a dancethat's been in the spotlight thanks toMiley Cyrus' performance at theMTV Video Music Awards.Survivor of BostonMarathon attackshas book dealNEW YORK (AP) — A manwho lost both legs in the BostonMarathon bombings but managedto help identify the perpetrators isworking on a memoir.Jeff Bauman has a deal withGrand Central Publishing for"Stronger," scheduled to come outin April, one year after the attacksthat killed three and injured manyothers.
