But she said the roommate, Alan Klemanchuck, 58, of Woonsocket, presently faces charges of domestic felony assault. The case is now under review for a possible upgrade of the charges to murder, depending on the results of an autopsy, which Paone said was performed yesterday by the state medical examiner. [email protected] WAKE UP CALL NAVY VET GETS MEDALS WOONSOCKET – A man who was hospitalized after fighting with his roommate outside a Fairmount bar on Friday died at Rhode Island Hospital two days later, the police disclosed Tuesday. Police spokeswoman Detective Jamie Paone declined to identify “We’re really not going to get into too many specifics because it’s an ongoing investigation and we’re still trying to piece everything together,” said Paone. Amy Kempe, spokeswoman for Attorney General Peter Kilmartin, said Klemanchuck allegedly punched his roommate at least once during an incident that took place outside the bar, which police identified as Charlie’s, located at 158 First Ave. Despite his arrest, Klemanchuck remains free pending an initial appearance in court. Kempe said Klemanchuck was arraigned at police headquarters before a justice of the peace following his arrest. The justice of the peace released Klemanchuck on $20,000 personal recognizance until his court hearing.

The change, if adopted following a review ordered by President Barack Obama, could limit removals of people who have little or no criminal record but have committed repeat immigration violations such as re-entering the country illegally after having been deported, or fail- ing to comply with a deportation order. The possible move, confirmed by two people with knowledge of the review, would fall short of the sweeping changes sought by activists. They want Obama to expand a two-year-old program that grants work permits to certain immigrants brought here illegally as children to include other groups, such as the parents of any children born in the U.S. John Sandweg, who until February served as acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said he had promoted the policy change for immigrants without serious criminal records before his departure and said it was being weighed by Johnson. An immigration advocate who has discussed the review with the administration also confirmed the change was under consideration. The advocate spoke on condition of anonymity because the proceedings are confidential. "Any report of specific considerations at this time would be premature," Clark Stevens, a spokesman for the Homeland Security Department, said Monday. Stevens said Johnson "has undergone a very See IMMIGRATION, Page A2 PROVIDENCE — Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Angel Taveras on Tuesday unveiled a plan that calls for reducing Rhode Island's use of fossil fuels and preparing for the effects of climate Taveras change, saying that environmental concerns are also economic ones. The Providence mayor's seven-point environmental blueprint calls for the state to get 40 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030 and adopts a target for reducing carbon emissions. It also seeks to expand municipal energy efficiency programs; improve access to affordable, locally grown food; and extend the life of the Central Landfill by reducing waste. The first-term Democrat also wants to enact an organic waste master plan that would make composting mandatory for some businesses. "Protecting our environment and sustaining our natural resources is as much a quality of life issue as an economic imperative," Taveras said after planting shrubs outside a business at an Earth Day event held by Groundwork Providence and the Environmental Justice League of Rhode Island. He said the state must prepare now for the effects of climate change, including rising sea levels, flooding and coastal erosion. "Global warming is real and it has real consequences, and we're seeing that here in Rhode Island," Taveras said.

The approach outlined by Sandweg and the immigration advocate would change the existing priority categories that now include immigrants who have reentered the country after having been deported previously, and those who are fugitives from immigration proceedings. Such people would be taken off the priority list. The remaining priority categories focus on recent border-crossers and immigrants who pose a danger to national security or public safety or who have been convicted of crimes. Some of those categories might also be refined or changed, and others could be added. "The time had come to focus ICE's efforts exclusively on public safety and national security," Sandweg said in explaining why he pushed for the change.

"We're going to review it one more time to see if there's more that we can do." For now, administration officials appear focused on more limited, near-term steps that could still make a difference for the immigrant population, according to lawmakers and activists who've met with administration officials. Adjusting the department's priorities for deportation is one such approach. Depending on how it's done, it could have a significant impact by providing new guidance to ICE agents on the front lines. Activists want more wholesale changes; some say ICE agents don't always follow the priorities set by the administration. At the same time, Obama would likely face GOP wrath for taking even the smallest steps toward providing relief to people in this country illegally. Republicans already accuse Obama's administration of subverting the law through previous moves to give "prosecutorial discretion" to immigration agents.

The potential changes come as Johnson proceeds with a review ordered by Obama on how to make deportation policy more humane. With comprehensive immigration legislation stalled in the Republican-led House after passing the Senate last year, Obama has come under intense election-year pressure to stem deportations, which have neared 2 million on his watch, and allow more of the 11.5 million immigrants living here illegally to stay. Many activists want sweeping action by Obama to give legal certainty and work permits to millions more immigrants, like he did for those who arrived illegally as children and attended school or served in the military. It's not clear whether the administration ultimately will take such steps. Obama has said repeatedly his options are limited without action by Congress.

The participating businesses contribute a portion of the bill for each meal served to the fundraiser, usually 25 percent, and benefit from the increased business from customers coming into to support the fundraiser, according to Hug. “We hope it is good for the restaurants and it is good for AIDS Project Rhode Island, he said. In all, approximately 30 businesses around Rhode Island will be participating in the fundraiser on Thursday ranging from fullfledged restaurants, pubs and even a food truck this year. “We have volunteers who reach out to the restaurant community in January to see if they want to participate,” Hug said. Everything comes together in time for Thursday’s national fundraiser and people have a good time enjoying great meals in the process, according to Hug.

The benefit also drew praise from Thomas Bertrand, AIDS Project Rhode Island executive director, who noted that “HIV/AIDS is a threat that touches too many lives in Rhode Island and across the nation, a threat that is easily preventable.” The fundraiser participants will be raising money for the organization’s work also raising awareness at the same time, Bertrand noted.

LOCAL Wednesday, April 23, 2014 THE CALL A3 Electrical fire damages Lincoln home Blaze confined to garage area, upstairs bedroom By JOSEPH B. NADEAU [email protected] LINCOLN – A fire believed to have started from an electrical problem with a spare refrigerator caused heavy damage to an attached garage and a bedroom above it at 6 Winterberry Road Tuesday evening. The owners of the home, Joaquin Galvao and his wife, Aquilina, and their children Driston, 18, and Briany, 14, had just arrived home from visiting friends, but all got out safely after the 7:13 p.m. fire was discovered, according to fire officials. Vincenzo Nassi, 12, of the adjoining Princess Pine Road, and Brett Bessette, 12, of Angell Road, had been playing basketball when they saw smoke coming from the home down the road. Fire engines were roaring down the street as they went to see what was happening, and they were able to watch the firefighting effort by the Lime Rock Fire Department and other town fire departments to save the home. “At first I just saw the smoke, and then they cut a hole in the roof and fire shot out,” Nassi said. “Everyone got out OK and no one was hurt,” Bessette said. The boys said they knew members of the family living in the home. “They were fighting it from the inside and also had a truck spraying water into the roof,” Nassi said. Lime Rock Assistant Fire Chief Arthur Jacques said the call came in as a refrigerator fire in the garage. “The homeowner tried to put it out but it got away from him and it went into the attic of the garage,” Jacques said. The spare bedroom above the garage was also involved, Jacques said. The combined effort to fight the fire from the ground level and from the roof area kept the blaze from entering the main home at the property, according to Jacques. “The house has smoke and water damage and but no fire damage,” he said. The garage’s roof was reported to have collapsed into the lower level, and that section of the home will require extensive repairs. Lime Rock Fire Chief Frank M. Sylvester credited the responding firefighters with a great job at scene. “They did a fantastic job. When no one gets hurt in a fire, they’ve done what they are supposed to do,” he said. As firefighters mopped up at the scene Tuesday night, Galvao said he was thankful everyone got out ok. His wife had spotted the smoke first and when he went into the garage to see what the problem was, Galvao said he initially thought he could unplug the refrigerator. “But the flames started coming out and it got too hot so I got out of there,” he said. The family was not going to be able to stay in their home until repairs were made, and Galvao said he didn’t know if they would go to a motel initially or stay with family members. Sylvester said the fire department would help the family make arrangements for a temporary stay somewhere if necessary. “We are here to help them in anyway we can,” he said. Call Photo/Joseph B.

NADEAU [email protected] LINCOLN – The Budget Board has completed its work on the proposed fiscal 2015 town budget, and it will now be up to local voters attending the May 12 Financial Town Meeting to set the town’s spending plan for the coming year. The voters will consider a spending plan of approximately $74.7 million, including school and municipal spending, as well as several major capital improvement projects as part of the town meeting’s budget action. Finance Director John F. Ward said on Tuesday that the town meeting’s budget book now being prepared will include Budget Board capital spending recommendations for a proposed addi- IMPERIAL RENTAL • Large selec on of vehicles • Friendly customer service • Convenient extended hours tion to Police Headquarters at Town Hall and the planned improvements at the high school’s Ferguson Field football field and track. The police headquarters addition would draw $3.3 million from the town’s capital reserves, and the high school athletic field improvements, including the installation of artificial turf, would tally $1.5 million, according to Ward. The budget recommendation overall includes $51,037,479 for schools, less than the School Department’s request of $52.2 million but $79,335 more than the sum Town Administration T. Joseph Almond projected in his budget proposal, according to Ward. Municipal spending would be approximately $19 million. The school budget number, to be acted on only as a line item total by local voters, includes a $921,219 increase in state aid to schools that has been projected in Gov.

Overall, the town’s proposed budget would result in a 1.1 percent increase in the town’s tax levy, and depending on the values set under the related property assessments, an estimated 7-cent increase in local taxes depending on the impact of new growth in the community. “That’s all based on estimated values for assessed property, but we are not finished with the estimates for tangibles,” Ward noted. Given the rate of new development in the community over the past year, Ward said the actual impact on the town’s tax rate is not likely to be known until after the budget is finalized by the voters on May. 12. “The budget has been prepared on the conservative side, but it does include a lot of capital projects,” Ward said while noting the improvements to police headquarters and the high school’s athletic fields.

A new office suite project has been moving forward quickly this spring at 640 George Washington Highway, and Pierce said the town will also see new revenues from the Panera Bread location, the new Massage Envy business, and other commercial developments or renovations at the Lincoln Mall and its neighboring Route 116 commercial district. There are even plans for further renovations in the office space areas of the Twin River Casino, he noted. “I think it’s good news for the local economy and it appears that people are finally releasing some of the money they have been holding onto for improvements to their homes or upgrading to a new home,” he said.

It continuously surprises me — and tickles me, I must admit — when someone tells me they have read one of my weekly pieces. When they say they have enjoyed it? That is even better! Best of all, though, is when folks contact me because they are moved into action by something I wrote. They want to purchase tickets to an event, make a donation to a raffle, or to learn more about Rotary. That’s right, I have been inviting you to join me at a Rotary meeting for over a year now. For those of you who keep reading, but haven’t taken me up on my offer yet, why not? Is it because you would rather ease From The Rotary your way into Rotary more gently? If that is the case, then I have the event for you! On Thursday, May 8th at 6 PM at River Falls we will be hosting a meet and greet event in partnership with the Blackstone Valley Independent Business Alliance (you may know them as the “Buy Local” folks from around the region). It is a casual opportunity to learn more about how our two organizations are working together to make Burrillville, North Smithfield, and Woonsocket better places to work, shop, play and live. As a business organization committed to improving our community through community service and high standards in our business practices, Woonsocket Rotary embraces the Buy Local message of the Blackstone Valley Independent Business Alliance. Come for a snack and a drink. Meet up with some of your colleagues and friends. Learn about membership in our two organizations. You will not regret it. Tickets for the event are $10 for the hors d’oevres reception with a cash bar. To reserve yours, contact the Woonsocket Rotary Treasurer, Suzanne Joyal at 401568-3332. Kristen Allen is a member of the Woonsocket Rotary. Letters to the Editor Stop complaining, find a solution Except for the textile boom several years ago I don't recall a tremendous influx of people to our fair city. It suffers from the same geographical pains as any other city. So what can we do to change the conditions? Is there a recipe for city rescue? I'd like to see it. There is no rapid remedy. But, there IS hope! I was appalled when I heard residents criticizing the new Mayor Lisa BaldelliHunt. Jeepers! Give her a chance! She fell in to a hornet's nest created by several officials way before her. There is no quick antidote for something that has taken years to ferment. Why am I writing this? I am not a Woonsocket resident but I was born and raised there when the city was clean and people took pride in their properties. Everyone worked. They had very little low income but folks had high self-esteem and wouldn't accept a handout. The “projects” as we call them were created to help people to get ahead in their struggles and when times got better they were to move on. But I guess the system was too user friendly and comfortable and now I see fourth and fifth generations in the same system. That was NOT the intent! Less we forget to mention all of the neglected children that came into the world just so the mothers could collect more money. I feel sorry for these kids as they will fall into the same hand-out programs. Obviously I don't speak of all of the children: we still do have many good families who do not take advantage of the system. Yes, I sell real estate here in the city and I still feel that Woonsocket has a lot going for it. However, it saddens me to see the city in such a state. But I have faith that it will get better. I listen to the local talk shows and disagree with some comments about no one wanting to buy in the city. I have sold many homes in Woonsocket to people from out of town and within the city who see the merit in Woonsocket. We still have a government grant to help those with low incomes to become homeowners and enjoy the American Dream. However, other Realtors like me agree that if the Homestead Act is removed we will not be able to sell a dog house here. I still remember a slogan used by an old friend and city businessman, Oscar Rotatori who always said, “I believe in Woonsocket.” I was just a kid myself when I would see this in his ads or hear him on the radio. Funny how some things stick in your mind. We need folks like him who still believe! But before you point any fingers at our leaders turn your hand around 180 degrees and maybe that is who you should be pointing the finger at. Don't waste time and energy complaining. Turn that energy into a positive and help correct the errors of those who came before Mayor Baldelli-Hunt. Let's help her to get this city cleaned up and back to being a lady again. Got a complaint? Then come up with a cure! Rita Benoit, North Smithfield, RI The time for change is now My name is Matt Fecteau and I am challenging Congressman David Cicilline for the Democratic nomination of the 1st District of Rhode Island. Unlike my opponent, I am not a millionaire, nor a career politician, nor have an affluent network to call on. I am an average American fed up with the political stagnation in Washington D.C. While I still consider myself an ordinary American, I have been put in some extraordinary circumstances. I served eight years on active duty in the U.S. Army as an officer with two tours in Iraq. I have led soldiers in war, managed multiple million dollar budgets, and traveled to some of the most unforgiving places in the world. I would stack my experience against my opponent’s any day of the week. I decided to run because I am upset with the inaction in Congress. More than ever, we deserve a new fresh prospective and new leadership. I have been going door to door lately and hearing about your concerns. This isn’t complicated, you want jobs and the truth is, right now, there are none. Rhode Island’s unemployment rate is the highest in the country. Your Congress is not working for you and you are fed up. I see our community slowly withering away with each passing day while hearing the empty rhetoric about bipartisanship and “jobs, jobs, jobs.” Unfortunately, empty rhetoric does not pay the bills. My opponent’s signature Make it in America Block Grant Program has zero bipartisan support, making the chances of it becoming law similar to that of Taylor Swift returning any of my phone calls. As a veteran, while deployed all you want to do is go home and then, when you finally arrive back home, it hits you like a ton of bricks, “What the hell happened?” We need to find solutions now. I want to represent you in Congress because regular people should have a voice in Washington. We know how to create jobs. We see the dilapidated roads, bridges, and waterways. Let’s hire people to fix, renovate, and expand our infrastructure. This would go a long way to both providing people quality jobs and invest in our country’s future. This struggle will be tough. I do wish I had a little more money, an affluent network, or a prominent name, but I do not. In this country I love so dearly, it should not matter. During this campaign, I may put my foot in my mouth at times, and may make my share of mistakes, but I am an average American thrust into some extraordinary circumstances and although things are a little tougher for us, I believe in this country more than ever. The time for change is now. If interested, please call me at 401-2250541, [email protected] or [email protected] and check out our website: MattforRI.com. Matt Fecteau Pawtucket, RI Why Democrats are playing the race card After years of mostly hedging any suggestion that racism has anything to do with President Barack Obama's ferocious opposition, there's a new racial etiquette in town. Top Democrats are slipping off the kid gloves. "To a significant extent, the Republican base does have elements that are animated by racism," said Rep. Steve Israel, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, during CNN's "State of the Union" program. "That's unfortunate." Asked by host Candy Crowley as to whether he thought his "Republican colleagues in Congress are racist," the New York Democrat replied, "Not all Clarence Page of them. No. Of course not." "Not all of them?" Gee, Congressman, care to name names? Israel's comment was particularly notable because it came only a few days after an even more prominent Democrat, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, of California, said pretty much the same thing about the Grand Old Party's position on immigration. "I think race has something to do with the fact that they are not bringing up an immigration bill," she said at a news conference. "I've heard them say to the Irish, 'If it was you, it would be easy.'" She didn't say who she heard talking to which "Irish," but she sounded like an oldschool wheeler-dealer in the sort of ethnictribal politics that have produced big turnouts for generations of urban Democrats. That's partly because she was responding to a question about Attorney General Eric Holder's earlier remarks in a speech at the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network convention. Without specifically mentioning race, Holder heatedly suggested that the "unwarranted, ugly and divisive adversity" that he received from Republicans during a House Judiciary Committee oversight hearing a day earlier was because of, well, you know what distinguishes Obama from his predecessors, right? "What attorney general has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment?" he said. "What president has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment?" Holder didn't mention race because he didn't have to. As an African-American speaking to a group that conservatives love like they love an Ebola virus, his remarks sounded like a black-oriented version of what liberals would call a racially coded "dog whistle" if it had come from rightwing whites. What's going on? Why, after years of accusing Republicans of unfairly accusing Democrats of playing the race card, do top Democrats seem suddenly to be throwing all caution to the wind? Why? Three theories come to mind: Theory one: Anger. A lot of it is pent up among Democrats after a half-dozen years of playing nice to help their Big Guy in the White House. Now it's getting near closing time for Team Obama (Holder may even be leaving this year), and Dems feel more freedom to say what they really think. Theory two: Fear. As midterm elections approach, what better way to rev up their liberal and heavily nonwhite base than to highlight differences with conservatives over issues of racial and gender equality. A common theme connects congressional Democrats alleging racism and Obama's promotions of pay equity and warnings about conservative rollbacks in the Voting Rights Act. Theory three: Shameless self-promotion. Since July 2012, Major Garrett, CBS News' chief White House reporter, has been reporting in National Journal on "stray voltage," a strategy of generating controversy on purpose, simply "for the sake of milking it." Such was the case, Garrett offers, when the White House claims that the median wages of working women in America are 77 percent of median wages earned by men were challenged by critics on the left and right. No problem. Under the "stray voltage" strategy, Obama's message will be remembered long after statistics are forgotten. Indeed, the same can be said of the return of race to center stage among top Democrats, generating familiar countercharges of "race baiting" and "playing the race card" from Republicans. Sure, those of us who care about serious issues and nuanced politics should bristle at crude appeals to racial passions by either side. But as long as it turns out votes, the politics of rage is not going away soon, color-coded or not. Clarence Page, a member of the Tribune Editorial Board, blogs at chicagotribune.com/pagespage.

David Ead, 72; star witness in Cianci corruption trial PROVIDENCE (AP) — A star witness in the corruption trial of former Providence Mayor Buddy Cianci has died. David Ead died Saturday, according to the PontarelliMarino Funeral Home. It did not disclose the cause of death. He was 72. Ead was the former vice chairman of the Board of Tax Assessment Review. He spent a week on the stand during the 2002 trial portraying Providence City Hall as a place where favors were regularly handed out for bribes. He himself admitted to taking bribes to lower tax bills, and was sentenced to a year of home confinement. Prosecutors said at the time that Ead’s cooperation was essential to making a case against members of the Cianci administration. Cianci was convicted of racketeering conspiracy.

Our marriage may not be perfect, but it’s quite good. My dilemma is this: My husband keeps track of every time we have sex and has a personal goal of 100 times a year. In 2013, he informed me that we’d had sex only 76 times, and that was not adequate for him. He was quite upset about it. Do you think tracking your sex life is normal, and what do you think about a couple married for 30-plus years having sex 76 times in a year? Is that normal? Also, keep in mind that he travels for business and is gone about 60 days a year. — PRESSURED DEAR PRESSURED: Your husband sounds like a college student who is striving to get 100 notches on his belt. Rather than obsess about the number of times you have had sex, the quality of the experience should be more important. Fifty GREAT times a year would be better than 100 so-so times, one would think. And no, I do not think your husband’s preoccupation is “normal” — whatever normal is these days. * DEAR ABBY: After six years of unsuccessful fertility work, my husband and I were forced to give DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips up. Last summer his sister offered to be a surrogate for us, and we’ll use a donor egg since I have none. We have told only a few people. We’re having an embryo transfer next week and thought we’d wait until after the first trimester to “announce.” But what is the proper way to do it when it’s not actually I who is expecting? And is there etiquette for having a baby shower in this situation? We’re excited and proud of this opportunity, but it takes a lot of explaining for people to understand and not be judgmental. This is the closest we’ll ever get to experiencing pregnancy, and I want to enjoy it to the fullest. — MODERN MOM-TO-BE IN WASHINGTON DEAR MOM-TO-BE: Horoscope ^ WGBH A B C D 2 2 2 2 $ WBZ 4 4 4 % WCVB 5 5 5 & WLNE 6 _ WHDH 7 * WJAR 10 10 10 , WPRI 12 9 WFXT 7 7 6 13 13 < WLWC 9 D WSBE 8 15 9 9 F WSBK 8 14 14 L WGBX 21 21 16 16 X WLVI 9 12 12 ∞ WNAC 11 ¥ WBPX μ WPXQ 20 15 15 7 CABLE 6 PM My 18-year-old granddaughter is seeing a 30-yearold man. What can I say to let her know he is way too old for her? I don’t want her to hate me. — LOVING GRANDMA IN FLORIDA DEAR LOVING GRANDMA: I don’t think that telling your granddaughter the man is too old for her would be a good idea because it would imply that she is too young, and no 18-year-old wants to hear that. Tell her instead that you think she would have a lot more in common with someone closer to her age. This is particularly true if she is still in high school.

DEAR ABBY: A - Cox B - Uxbridge, Millville Comcast C - Blackstone, Franklin Comcast D - Bellingham Comcast By HOLIDAY MATHIS ARIES (March 21-April 19). Good stories need conflict, and heroes need an enemy. As you’re a lover and not a fighter, you’ll be more comfortable with an impersonal enemy like weather, the elements or the evils of society at large. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll live simply and freely following these rules: 1. Don’t acquire what you don’t need. 2. Purge possessions periodically. 3. Have a place for things, and keep things in their place. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ve heard hundreds of times that life isn’t fair, but today will bring evidence to the contrary. Your favorite kind of justice will be dealt — and that’s poetic justice! CANCER (June 22-July 22). Each of your projects has a beginning, a middle and an end, though not necessarily in that order. Today you’ll start and stop in odd places, but like a cleverly edited movie, it all works out before the credits roll. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll meet someone who likes what you like. It’s a significant connection for many reasons, not the least of which is that your shared common interest is relatively rare. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Ideally, you strive to unselfconsciously make connections and remain considerate of the feelings of others. When you’re not this way, you haven’t failed — it’s all part of a learning process. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Touch base physically if possible. The exchange of ideas and information will go smoothly and will be far more helpful in face-toface encounters. No matter how hard you try to give, you’ll be on the receiving end. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Meetings and forums are part of the action. You realize how hard it is for the person in charge, and so you give full attention and empathy to that person, who may in turn lean on you for support. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Trying to get through to a certain emotionally distant person is like grasping at wind. Instead, get comfortable with yourself, and the contentment you feel will warm everyone around you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your participation in groups may be minimal, but in a short amount of time, you’ll still manage to inspire others to take action. You won’t have to tell anyone what to do. You’ll do it yourself and make it look cool. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Socializing is a game, and in this game, status is both a choice and a strategy. There are many benefits to adopting both the high and low status positions, so choose carefully. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll get the chance to demonstrate your knowledge and expertise. Seize the chance only if you really feel ready. Being ready will entail knowing the order in which you’ll do things and having at least some of it memorized. Congratulations on your pregnancy. Because it takes explaining, I recommend you share the happy news with your family and close friends by telling them in person. That way, you can answer any questions they may have directly. When you want “the world” to know, you may decide to send a mass email or post photos on the Internet. As to having a baby shower — because this is a happy event you are celebrating and you will need things for the baby, I’m sure a friend will want to host one for you. Be sure to include your sister-inlaw if she would like to attend. 7:30 8 PM 8:30 9 PM 9:30 10 PM 10:30 11 PM 11:30 NOVA Social lives of smart ani- Your Inner Fish Beneficial traits Charlie Rose (N) Å from primates.

International League Six-run rally lifts Rochester past PawSox Snyder homers twice, De La Rosa spins six solid innings in 7-5 loss By JON BAKER [email protected] PAWTUCKET — On a Tuesday night when Brandon Snyder crushed two dingers and righthander Rubby De La Rosa assembled a mound masterpiece, the Pawtucket Red Sox’ bullpen collapsed. The result: An emotionally-draining – not to mention truly sad – 7-5 loss to the Rochester Red Wings before a bummed crowd of 3,070 at McCoy Stadium. De La Rosa had been hurling a gem, yielding only three hits, an earned run and a walk while fanning seven. He seemed destined to push his record to 2-0 after offering 89 pitches, 53 for strikes in his six-inning stint. But the Red Wings exploded for six runs in the top of the seventh while sending 12 to the plate and improved to 10-8 on their International League-North campaign. Pawtucket fell to 11-9, though remained in first place. In that fateful frame, manager Kevin Boles chose to replace De La Rosa with fellow righty Dalier Hinojosa, and the Red Wings took little time in creating their surge. See RED WINGS, page B3 Rehabbing Victorino’s �excited about getting back onto field’ By JON BAKER [email protected] PAWTUCKET — For Shane Victorino, it’s been a long, arduous road back to regaining his strength and conditioning after being sidelined on March 29 with a right hamstring strain, that suffered in Boston’s final spring training game in Fort Myers. Victorino, though, remained confident he would enjoy a return to the Red Sox in the near future, as this was his third game back on an injury rehab assignment. He expressed that confidence after taking batting practice at McCoy Stadium prior to the Pawtucket Red Sox’ tilt against Rochester on Tuesday afternoon. “I’m feeling good at this point,” grinned Victorino, who had drawn the start in right and the No. 2 spot in the batting order. “How soon will I get back? It’s still up in the air. We’ll see how (Tuesday night) goes. I know I’m going to play nine innings. See VICTORINO, page B3 Boston Red Sox right fielder Shane Victorino jogs off the field after the top of the first inning of his rehab game with the Pawtucket Red Sox on Tuesday night at McCoy Stadium.

BROWN Blackstone Valley Sports photo Boston Marathon �Marathon’ Meb becomes �beacon’ of Beacon Street BOSTON (AP) — Meb Keflezighi fled the East African nation of Eritrea as a 12-year-old boy, coming to the United States to escape war and poverty. Tatyana McFadden was 6 and sickly when an American woman adopted her from a Russian orphanage. They are now U.S. citizens, and Boston Marathon champions. "Don't they really capture what the American dream is all about?" Boston Athletic Association president Joann Flaminio said on Tuesday. "It's about coming to this country to make a better life for themselves. And, boy, what a better life they made." Ever since the bombs exploded at the marathon finish line last year there has been a nationwide rally of support for the city and its signature sporting event, and a call to return to the streets to reclaim the freedom that was threatened by the attacks. But the prospect of an American running down Boylston Street to break the tape this Patriots' Day was seen as the ultimate expression of resilience. "Everybody talked about how this was very necessary," Keflezighi said on Tuesday at the traditional day-after news conference that was canceled last year. "To do it in Boston after what happened last year, I couldn't ask for any better. "America gave me the opportunity; America needed somebody," he said. "And I rose to the occasion." No American runner had won the Boston Marathon since 1985, when Lisa Larsen-Weidenbach took the women's title two years after Greg Meyer earned the men's. (The U.S. has had better luck in the wheelchair division, which McFadden won for the second straight time.) The three decades of domination by the Kenyan and Ethiopian runners has been distressing in U.S. distance-running circles, but the drought became a national concern after last year's bombing. Since then, there has been much talk about what an American victory would mean in this year's race, and Shalane Flanagan — three-time Olympian from nearby Marblehead — vowed to win it for her battered hometown. See MEB, page B4 DETROIT (AP) — Tuukka Rask finished with a 23-save shutout to give the Boston Bruins a 3-0 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night for a 2-1 playoff series lead. Dougie Hamilton and Jordan Caron scored in the first period, and Patrice Bergeron added an empty-net goal late in the game. The Presidents' Trophy-winning Bruins are ahead for the first time in the openinground series. And, it seems like a commanding lead the way Boston has played the past two games. Detroit has to win Game 4 on Thursday night to avoid facing elimination when the series shifts back to Boston. Jimmy Howard made 31 saves for the Red Wings, who needed him to make what appeared to be a routine stop midway through the first period on the first goal. He couldn't. Hamilton's wrist shot from the top of the right circle beat Howard's glove on a power play after Detroit had too many men on the ice. The Red Wings didn't have enough players in position to stop the second goal. After a poorly timed line change, Caron was all alone in front of the net and scored off a rebound. Detroit had a 5-on-3 power play for 35 seconds midway through the second period and could not take advantage. The Red Wings had perhaps their best chance early in the third period, but Rask made a sprawling stop to get his glove on Justin Abdelkader's shot. Detroit did not have many other opportunities against Rask, who ended up with his fourth career playoff shutout. Detroit had a power play midway through the third period and got only one shot to Rask, whose teammates prevented the puck from getting to him by putting their bodies and sticks in the way all night. Detroit pulled Howard but failed to dump the puck deep into the Boston end. Bergeron made a long shot into an empty net with 1:59 left to make it 3-0. Since the Red Wings won Game 1 on Pavel Datsyuk's goal late in the third period, they have been outscored 7-1. Detroit did not have one of its top forwards, Daniel Alfredsson, because of a back ailment and is still without two key players, captain Henrik Zetterberg and defenseman Jonathan Ericsson, because of injuries. Even with all three of those players, Boston simply might be too tough to beat. The defending Eastern Conference and 2011 Stanley Cup champions are big, strong, fast and talented. Boston proved that during the regular season, leading the NHL with 117 points, and has shown how dominant it can be after losing the closely contested Game 1. Notes: Boston had D Matt Bartkowski in the lineup after the flu led to him missing both games in Boston. He replaced Andrej Meszaros, who appeared to be a healthy scratch. ... Hamilton, drafted No. 9 overall three years ago, scored his first playoff goal and Caron, a first-round pick in 2009, had his first postseason point. ...

SPORTS Wednesday, April 23, 2014 THE CALL B3 Red Wings score six times in seventh to down PawSox, 7-5 Continued from page B1 Wilkin Ramirez stung a triple off the wall in right-center, and Brad Nelson walked before the former raced home on a wild pitch and the latter took second on the same. Chris Rahl then hammered a double to right to plate Nelson, and Eric Farris reached on Snyder’s fielding miscue at first. Delbinson Romero’s hit to right scored Rahl, but Shane Victorino’s bobble in right allowed both he and Farris to move up. Lefty Rich Hill took Hinojosa’s spot on the rubber, and he issued a freebie to Dan Rohlfing to load the bases, though he whiffed Danny Santana for the initial out. He walked James Beresford to plate Farris to tie it at 5-5, and Chris Parmelee knocked in pinch-runner Doug Bernier with the go-ahead run. When Rohlfing raced in on Nelson’s infield hit, the Wings had erased a 5-1 deficit. Boles nevertheless didn’t dwell on any negatives but one real positive – De La Rosa’s improvement. “He’s had some very good outings, and this was right (up) there,” Boles stated afterward. “He had a good mix, he pitched down in the zone, held together the running game; he has weapons, and he’s throwing more strikes. You could see with the hitters, he was keeping them off-balance. “To be able to make those adjustments is great,” he added. “He mixes in the slider and curve; he was outstanding (Tuesday).” In what may be rehabbing Shane Victorino’s final tilt with the PawSox, he finished 0-for-4 with three strikeouts, a groundout to short and an error during his eight frames in right field. He did, however, drill a couple of long foul balls. When asked if he could be called up to the Red Sox soon, Boles explained, “He’s going to be evaluated in Boston and see what the decide …Usually timing is the last thing to come, but he was tested out there in right. To see him react the way he did was good. The hitting, he’ll figure that out, but he was tested out there. That’s a positive.” Boles opted to pull Victorino in the top of the eighth, but that was because the turf had become slick with the late-evening rains. “We erred on he side of caution,” he said. Hinojosa faced only five batters and yielded three hits, five runs (four earned) and a walk without a whiff; he offered 18 pitches, half for strikes. And Hill gave up two hits, an unearned run and two bases-on-balls while striking out three in one full frame. Yovan Pino (3-0) earned the win after hurling the final four frames; he gave up three hits, two runs and a Victorino continues rehab stint Continued from page B1 “This is my third game (with Pawtucket), and – overall – my body parts are OK,” he added. “I’m excited about getting back onto the field. I’ve had a little soreness, but it’s good soreness; it comes from being more active. I think I’m getting closer.” In his first start with the PawSox, against Buffalo in Saturday’s twinbill opener, he went 0for-3, but he did finish 1-for-4 Monday night as the starting right fielder. The 33-year-old Victorino hit .250 (7-for-28) in spring training while being brought along ever so carefully on a conditioning program. On that fateful March 29 day, however, he sustained a Grade 1 strain to the aforementioned hamstring while legging out a double on a wet field at JetBlue Park. Following that strain, he was saddled with a severe bout of the flu that caused him to lose 12 pounds. Ironically, Victorino had rehabbed with Pawtucket last June 6 for a left hamstring strain and played in just one contest. The good news: He went 2-fofr-4 with a solo blast against Charlotte. His only other visits to McCoy came as a member of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons back in 2005. That season, he closed with a .310 batting average with 18 homers and 70 RBI while earning International League MVP accolades. “Shane has looked good,” offered manager Kevin Boles. “He’s had no hesitation, no problems, after having played. He’s just got to get through (Tuesday night). I don’t when he’ll be called up; we’ll see what Boston says (Wednesday).” In his initial at-bat on Tuesday, on a 3-2 pitch, he bashed a shot just outside the left field foul pole, and – on the next offering – struck out on an iffy call by home plate ump Brian DeBrauwere. Third baseman Will Middlebrooks also is on an injury rehab outing (right calf strain) with the PawSox, but was not in the starting lineup Tuesday. Boles indicated the 25-year-old “felt fine” after gaining the start Monday night, and was visiting with Boston’s medical staff. “Again, that’s Boston decision,” Boles stated. The Red Sox placed him on the disabled list on April 6 (retro to April 5) for the injury. In four games with the parent club (all at third), he had battled .231 with a double, dinger and an RBI. He had suffered the calf issue while running before that April 5 game against Milwaukee. Still, the plan is for Middlebrooks to play tonight and Thursday afternoon at McCoy. Boles also explained that Pawtucket had transferred infielder Carlos Rivero to Double-A Portland and added fellow infielder Ryan Roberts following his redesignation for assignment by Boston on April 18. That’s when the Red Sox recalled infielder Brock Holt from Pawtucket. Boles noted Roberts will play a variety of positions while with the PawSox, including one or two outfield positions. *** EXTRA BASES: Probable pitching matchups for the remainder of this four-game set against the Red Wings begin tonight at 6:15 p.m. with righthander Allen Webster (1-1, 3.60 ERA) facing fellow righthander Alex Meyer (0-0, 5.14). For Thursday’s 12:05 p.m. matinee, righty Anthony Ranaudo (1-1, 4.35) will battle southpaw Kris Johnson (1-2, 3.94), while it seems assured that Matt Barnes, who has yet to pitch this season because of right shoulder tenderness, will make his first start of the season against righty Trevor May (1-0, 2.93) at 6:15 p.m., Friday. PawSox officials have something special in store for fans on Friday night – Boston brass will bring their three World Series championship trophies to the ballyard for all to see. Gates will open at 4:45 p.m., and all PawSox ticket holders will be able to peruse the trophies and have their photos taken with three of the most coveted pieces of hardware in Red Sox lore. After the contest, fans may take in yet another spectacular PawSox Fireworks Display.

Hinojosa (0-1) took the loss, and Hill was issued his lone blown save. While De La Rosa cruised through his first two frames, courtesy of four straight whiffs while striking out the side in the second, Pawtucket gave him a cushion in the back half. Snyder led off the frame, crushing a 2-0 fastball just over the fence and onto the left-center field berm to record his third bomb of the season. Southpaw starter Logan Darnell then fanned Christian Vazquez, but Garin Cecchini singled to center, then stole second before hustling to third on a fielding miscue by second baseman James Beresford. It was ruled on the play that backstop Rohlfing’s throw had caromed off Beresford’s left shoulder, and Cecchini trotted in on designated hitter Dan Butler’s sacrifice fly to right. The ensuing batter, Mike McCoy, then walked, and Darnell balked him to second before he got No. 9 hitter Heiker Meneses to flail at strike 3. The Red Wings immediately sliced the deficit in half in the third when Farris led off with a hard hit up the middle, took second when De La Rosa hit Romero, reached third on Rohlfing’s 5-4 fielder’s choice and scored on Santana’s “seeing-eye” grounder down the left-field line. It looked as if the Sox would put together a semblance of a rally in the fourth; that’s when Vazquez drilled a one-out gapper to left-center, but Farris sprinted to his right and made a spectacular diving catch. Darnell struck out Cecchini to end the inning. Rochester threatened again in the fifth when Farris knocked a one-out hit to right, robbed second and took third when catcher Vazquez threw low to the bag, but De La Rosa whiffed both Romero and Rohlfing to avert any further damage.

Wednesday, April 23, 2014 MLB Ellsbury returns to Boston, helps Yankees top Sox BOSTON (AP) — Jacoby Ellsbury doubled, tripled, drove in two runs and made a sliding catch in his return to Fenway Park, helping the New York Yankees and Masahiro Tanaka beat the Boston Red Sox 9-3 on Tuesday night. Ellsbury received a mixed reception in his first game as a visitor after seven seasons with the Red Sox before signing a $153 million, seven-year contract with the Yankees. Tanaka (3-0) allowed two runs on seven hits in 7 1-3 innings with seven strikeouts and no walks. His 35 strikeouts in his first four major league starts set a team record and he's walked just two batters in 29 1-3 innings. Jon Lester (2-3) struggled after four outstanding outings, allowing seven runs in 4 2-3 innings. The Red Sox scored their runs in the fourth inning on back-toback home runs by David Ortiz and Mike Napoli. Meb on win: �America needed somebody and I rose to the occasion’ Continued from page B1 But the victory went not to the local favorite, nor to Ryan Hall, who ran the fastest marathon ever by an American on this course in 2011. Instead, the cathartic win came from a San Diego resident who studied the Boston course by talking to four-time winner Bill Rodgers and reading the memoir of the man known as "Boston Billy." Ernst Van Dyk of South Africa won the men's wheelchair event, and then McFadden rolled down Boylston Street all alone to guarantee that the "Star-Spangled Banner" would be heard in Copley Square a year after terrorist bombs killed three and wounded more than 260 others. McFadden, who turned 25 on race day, was born with spina bifida and had no wheelchair as a child, so she learned to walk on her hands. Her mother, Deborah McFadden, was the commissioner of disabilities for the U.S. Health Department and visited the orphanage where Tatyana had been sent. "I was 6 years old and extremely sick, with a short life expectancy, and my mom gave me the opportunity," said McFadden, who moved to Baltimore and eventually went to the University of Illinois, the home of eight-time Boston wheelchair champion Jean Driscoll. "For me, it was extremely important to get involved in sports. It was a way for me to get better." After receiving her trophy, McFadden gave the winner's olive wreath — gold-plated for the first time this year, as a gesture of support from Greece — to Carlos Arredondo, the cowboy-hatted hero who helped the wounded at the finish line last year. Flanagan ran a personal best and finished seventh as Kenya's Rita Jeptoo earned her second straight women's win — and third overall — and a chance to celebrate the victory she couldn't in 2013. Minutes later, Keflezighi pumped his fist and crossed himself as he ran down Boylston street to chants of "U.S.A.!" Two U.S. flags were raised above the victory stand for the two American victories, and the "Star-Spangled Banner" echoed over Boylston Street not once, but twice. "America really did want it," said McFadden, who raced in a shirt honoring Martin Richard, honor the 8-year-old boy killed in the explosions. Keflezighi, who wrote the names of the four killed in the bombing and manhunt on his bib, said that everywhere he went in Boston people came up to him and thanked him. President Barack Obama sent his congratulations on Twitter, and a call was being arranged so the two could talk on Tuesday. Keflezighi's eyes widened with excitement as he thought about talking with the president. "I'm going to say thank you for the opportunity that the land of the U.S. has given me," he said. At almost 39, Keflezighi is the oldest Boston Marathon winner since 1931, and the victory caps an already-distinguished career. A four-time NCAA champion, he took the silver medal in the Athens Olympics in 2004 and won the New York race in 2009. But even as the world acknowledged his place as one of history's great distance runners, his New York victory was met with skepticism from internet commenters and even some members of the media who said the former Eritrean "wasn't American enough." Flaminio scoffed at the idea. "You are a beacon of what it means to be an American," she told him on Tuesday. "It was the right person for the right time."

Southwick’s Zoo plans after-hours May 17 event MENDON — Southwick’s Zoo recently opened for the season, and is now offering a visit the zoo when it is less crowded. On Saturday, May 17, members of EARTH Limited, an environmentally-conscious nonprofit located inside Southwick’s Zoo, will have the opportunity to visit the zoo at no cost from 6 to 8 p.m. Friends of members may also attend for a fee of $15 for adults or $10 for kids. Each year, members of EARTH Limited are treated to a number of benefits simply for being a member. This event gives visitors the unique experience of being among fellow members who are committed to helping animals and their environment. Another advantage of an after-hours zoo trip is that some of the animals are more active in the evening. For example, lions sleep about 17 to 20 hours a day and are nocturnal, so you have a better chance of seeing them on the prowl after hours. “EARTH Limited operates inside Southwick’s Zoo, but it’s a separate, nonprofit organization that works to educate the community about environmental issues. Our members are some of the biggest contributors to EARTH, so we like to give back to them,” said Betsey Brewer, executive director of EARTH Ltd. Becoming a member of EARTH comes with a number of benefits. Along with the special members-only events, members of EARTH also receive unlimited visits to Southwick’s Zoo for the year, access to behind-thescenes tours, discounts on Wild Adventure Summer Programs for kids, 10 percent off in the Purple Peacock Gift Shop, and more. The Welcome Back event will be held at Southwick’s Zoo, 2 Southwick St. Visit http://earthltd.org/ to learn more about becoming a member.

Jack Reed, D-R.I., will speak at the 2014 Rhode Island Flood Mitigation Association (RIFMA) conference at Amica Conference Center, 100 Amica Way, at noon. The event will focus on how flood mitigation efforts can be, and have been, implemented to protect life, property and the environment during a disaster and increase resilience afterwards. RIFMA’s 2014 conference will provide a venue for professionals involved in floodplain management and flood hazard mitigation to gather, discuss best practices, share ideas, and learn from colleagues’ experiences. This year’s theme of “Making Mitigation Matter” was selected due to recent efforts to reduce future losses through implementation of mitigation actions throughout the region. New England has experienced multiple major weather events in recent years, and many states have begun implementing long-term measures that reduce, minimize, or eliminate potential damages to public and private infrastructure from natural hazards.
