Saugus bus crash injures six
SAUGUS — Six people were injured after an SUV and MBTA bus collided on Essex Street Sunday afternoon.
Police responded to the crash shortly before 4 p.m. and learned a Route 429 MBTA bus traveling toward Lynn in the area of 190 Essex St. near Felton Street was struck head-on by a Ford SUV driven by a 37-year-old woman, Transit Police said.
The woman driving the Ford was tak-en to a local hospital with serious inju-ries. The four passengers of the MBTA bus and the driver were taken to a lo-cal hospital with minor injuries, police said.
Police said the driver of the Ford was initially traveling in the opposite lane, but may have struck a parked vehicle, causing her to veer into the MBTA bus lane and strike it head-on.
Transit Police are investigating the cause and circumstances of the accident.
Girlssee stars at High Rock
By Gayla Cawley ITEM STAFF
LYNN — Girl Scouts with an interest in STEM education or careers will be given a chance to reach for the stars on Friday night at High Rock Tower and Observatory.
Current Girl Scouts or those aspiring to join in grades K-5 are invited to a Star Party at High Rock Tower from 8 to 10 p.m.
They will look at the stars through the large telescopes on the roof in the Observatory, make their own constellation, take a tour, and learn from an astronomer, according to Kerrie Constant, se-nior director of program for Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts.
“Girls will be exploring the night sky and forming a deeper appreciation for astronomy,” Constant said.
Constant said the event is through a partnership with the Girl Scouts of the USA, NASA Science Mis-sion Directorate, and the SETI Institute.
Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts was one of 11 Girl Scout Councils na-tionwide — there are 113 councils — chosen to take part in the “Reaching for the Stars: NASA Science for Girl Scouts” initiative, which is in the pilot phase and is meant to engage girls in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) learn-ing and expose them to ca-reers in the field, Constant said.
Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts has girls from grades K-12 piloting the activities for the new space science badges that are going to be launched. The Reaching for the Stars program launched in Jan-uary for the pilot and the new space science badges will be available to girls in grades K-5 in the fall and 6-12 next spring.
Constant said one of the goals for the Star Party, which is a criterion of the Reaching for the Stars pro-gram, is to attract girls to join the Girl Scouts. Girls can come from all over — typically, similar events

SWAMPSCOTT — Some par-ents are beginning to feel the effects of school budget cuts, which includes a student shuffle between the district’s three ele-mentary schools.
Cuts that have garnered the most attention for FY19 are the elimination of one classroom per grades K-3, which would also cut those teacher positions. But to target support for larger class sizes, one of those teacher posi-tions would be restored for a net reduction of three teachers.
Next year, elementary class-
es would go from eight classes per grades K-3 to seven. All of the classroom reductions are at Stanley Elementary School.
According to Superintendent Pamela Angelakis, 41 students are being moved from Stanley Elementary School, with some being reassigned to Hadley Ele-mentary School and some shift-ing to Clarke Elementary School. Fourteen students are moving from Hadley to Clarke and six will be moving from Clarke to Stanley for programming. Those students being moved are in current grades K-2.

MARBLEHEAD — There aren’t many places left for locals to munch on Marblehead’s iconic Joe Frogger Cookies, but The Muffin Shop on Washing-ton Street is still keeping the tradition going.
“They’re the best thing since Rice Krispies,” Ira Rosenberg said while grabbing breakfast at the shop.
The shop will often make between 50 to 100 of the molasses cookies, mostly only around holidays or special occasions, owner
Louise Capasso said.“We go through tons
of them when we make them,” she said. “They go fast.”
The cookies were in-vented in Marblehead by a woman known as Aunt Crese in the 18th centu-ry. Her husband, a sailor known as Old Black Joe Brown, would often take the cookies, which last very long before going bad, on his voyages.
The name Joe Frogger comes partly from Joe Brown’s name and the fact that around the time of

NAHANT — Johnson Elementary School stu-dents will learn how to make the world their playground this spring.
Volunteers are using the natural elements behind the school to cre-ate a forest playground using dirt, wood, rocks, and the landscape to fos-ter imaginative learning and playing.
Using the natural land-scape, a slide and a cave will be built into a hill, and logs will be half-bur-ied to create barriers, seating, and even tables.
“We don’t take away sharp pencils because they can poke somebody, we say don’t poke some-body,” said Principal Kevin Andrews. “This allows kids to use sticks, play with rocks, move logs around. We’re bury-ing some logs halfway in a circle and they can be used for teatime or stage acting. It opens a lot of opportunities.”
Encouraging the chil-dren to create their own play space out of nature promotes social and emo-tional growth, said An-drews. He envisions young

MASSACHUSETTS BRIEFS
Keating sees nuke waste bill making plant closing safer
PLYMOUTH (AP) — Massachusetts congress-man William Keating says a nuclear waste bill that passed the U.S. House includes important provisions for the soon-to-be-closed Pilgrim nuclear plant in Plymouth.
Keating, a Democrat, says the bill prioritiz-es removal of spent fuel from older nuclear facilities and those like Pilgrim that are being decommissioned.
The plant’s shutdown is scheduled for May 2019.
Keating says speedier removal of nuclear waste from the site will help make the decommission-ing process safer.
The bill approved Thursday directs the U.S. Energy Department to revive efforts to open a mothballed nuclear waste dump at Yucca Mountain in Nevada, while also moving forward with plans for a temporary storage site in New Mexi-co or Texas.
But Senate passage of the bill is far from as-sured as both of Nevada’s senators oppose it.
College’s � nal class of graduates hold
own commencement
BOSTON (AP) — The last class of a college has graduated in a bittersweet ceremony in Boston.
The senior class of Newton-based Mount Ida College graduated Satur-day in a commencement ceremony that did not include college president Barry Brown and the school’s board of trustees.
The Boston Globe reports students asked they not attend follow-ing the of� cials’ sudden announcement in April that the school would close following the spring semester. The senior class took over control of the ceremony and planned it themselves.
Plans by the University of Massachusetts-Am-herst to purchase the assets of the college are coming under scrutiny.
The State Senate Post Audit and Oversight Committee has scheduled a hearing at the State-house for Wednesday at noon to discuss the deal.
Poor People’s Campaign planned for Statehouse steps
BOSTON (AP) — A ral-ly meant to highlight the challenges facing the poor in the United States is being planned for Massa-chusetts.
The Massachusetts Poor People’s Campaign kicks off at 2 p.m. Monday on the Statehouse steps. Organizers are calling for what they describe as a sweeping overhaul of the nation’s voting rights laws and policies to ad-dress poverty, ecological devastation and the war economy.
The rally is one of 30 planned across the coun-try.
Leaders of the campaign — including poor and disenfranchised people, clergy and advocates — hope to engage in 40 days of nonviolent action and voter mobilization.
At the conclusion of the 40 days, on June 23, orga-nizers in Massachusetts and other states hope to
join together for a mass mobilization at the U.S. Capitol in Washington.
State seeks public input on school accountability system
MALDEN (AP) — Mas-sachusetts education of� cials are seeking input on a new accountability system to judge school performance.
The Board of Elementa-ry and Secondary Edu-cation is inviting public feedback at a Monday meeting to be held at the panel’s Malden headquar-ters.
Massachusetts is re-vamping its system for evaluating public schools in response to federal regulations approved in 2015.
The new system will still weigh test scores but adds other measures including the share of students taking advanced classes and those that are chronically absent.
It will also focus on boosting the performance of each school’s lowest performing students along with the school as a whole.
No vote will be taken at the Monday meeting. The state’s education commis-sioner said he will ask the board to approve the sys-tem at its June meeting.
Lead Boston Marathon bombing prosecutor joins
private � rm
BOSTON (AP) — A for-mer top federal prosecu-tor in Massachusetts who led the case against the Boston Marathon bomb-er has gone into private practice.
William Weinreb, a 20-year-veteran of the U.S. attorney’s of� ce in Boston, has joined Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan as a partner.
Weinreb was named acting U.S. attorney when Carmen Ortiz stepped down from the post shortly before Republican President Donald Trump took of� ce. He served in the role until now-U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling was sworn in December.
Weinreb was the lead prosecutor in the case against Dzhokhar Tsar-naev, who was sentenced to death for the deadly Boston Marathon bomb-ings.
Bills would prohibit public schools from ‘meal shaming’
BOSTON (AP) — Law-makers are considering proposals that would prohibit Massachusetts school districts from denying hot lunches to children who don’t have money to pay for them or whose parents have fallen
behind on meal plan installments.
Critics call the practice “meal shaming” because of the embarrassment it can bring to students. It would become illegal under bills � led by state Sen. Cynthia Creem and state Rep. Andres Vargas that will be heard Tues-day by the Education Committee.
A recent study by the Massachusetts Law Reform Institute found many schools have pol-icies that instruct cafe-teria workers to toss out hot meals and substitute cold cheese sandwiches for students who have exceeded their meal accounts.
Some schools bar students from extracur-ricular activities if their parents have school meal debt.
Seals rescued in New Hampshire set for release on Cape Cod
SANDWICH (AP) — Two young gray seals res-cued from a New Hamp-shire beach in March after violent storms are being released back to the wild this weekend.
The Newburyport Daily News reports that Saco and Pemigewasset — named after rivers in New England — are scheduled for release Sunday in Sandwich.
Saco was found strand-ed in Seabrook, N.H., on March 5. Pemigewasset was rescued March 20, less than a mile away.
Both were malnour-ished, dehydrated and suffering from infections and parasites.
They were brought to the National Marine Life Center on Cape Cod for rehabilitation and have made a full recovery.
They were also taught to eat � sh, because both had only recently stopped nursing.
The release Sunday at 5:30 p.m. on Scusset Beach is open to the public.
CAMBRIDGE (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is sched-uled to speak at a gather-ing of tech entrepreneurs at MIT.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology of� cials say Trudeau will visit cam-pus Friday to headline the annual meeting of the school’s Solve initiative.
The project connects tech entrepreneurs with lead-ers in government, busi-ness and academia to tack-le world problems.
MIT says it will be Trudeau’s � rst visit to Cambridge since he was elected prime minister in 2015.
Other speakers include Eric Schmidt, the former chairman of Google’s par-ent company, and Ursula Burns, the former CEO of the Xerox company.
The event requires a tick-et but will be livestreamed on Solve’s website.
Trudeau’s trip to the U.S. also will include a stop at New York Univer-sity, where he’s scheduled to give the commencement speech Wednesday.

LOS ANGELES — “Avengers: Infinity War” is still ruling the box of-fice in its third weekend in theaters, easily beating out the mom-themed fare.
The Walt Disney Stu-dios on Sunday estimates that “Infinity War” has added $61.8 million from North American theaters bringing its total domestic earnings to $547.8 million. Globally the film has now grossed over $1.6 billion— $200 million of which was from its massive opening in China this weekend. It’s now the fifth highest grossing film of all time worldwide.
The superhero block-buster overpowered new-comers like the Melissa McCarthy comedy “Life of the Party” and the Gabri-elle Union thriller “Break-ing In,” both of which were strategically timed
to debut on Mother’s Day weekend. Both films drew overwhelmingly female au-diences, too.
In a distant second, “Life of the Party” earned an
estimated $18.5 million, which is a few million short of some of McCa-rthy’s other comedy col-laborations with husband Ben Falcone like “Tammy”
and “The Boss.” It also got similarly mixed reviews from critics. The Warner Bros. release stars McCa-rthy as a woman who de-cides to go back to college with her daughter.
The studio is “thrilled” with the results.
“It’s escapist movie palace fare,” said Jeff Goldstein, Warner Bros.’ president of domestic distribution.
The modestly budgeted “Breaking In” took third place with $16.5 million, over-performing most in-dustry expectations de-spite lackluster reviews. The film stars Union as a mom who has to fight to save her kids from a group of home invaders.
“It’s an edge-of-the-seat thriller that you may not always associate with Mother’s Day, but it worked extraordinarily well,” said Jim Orr, Universal’s presi-dent of domestic theatrical distribution.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — With demonstrators standing outside his con-cert protesting his pres-ence, R. Kelly summoned his passionate fans to car-ry him through what has been a difficult week.
Interspersing references to God with his suggestive lyrics and salty language, Kelly stirred up a crowd inside the Greensboro Col-iseum on Friday to buoy him as he encountered longstanding allegations of mistreatment of women and an effort to get colise-um officials to cancel the concert.
“Sometimes, some storms ain’t gonna stop,” Kelly told the audience during his nearly one-hour performance. “As long as my fans are calling for me, I’m gonna be on that stage, singing these songs.”
Well after his perfor-mance, however, the storms that started before he ar-rived continued to roil.
Women’s groups had urged the Greensboro Col-iseum to cancel, days after Kelly was disinvited from a concert in Chicago. Spo-tify announced it would no longer stream his music in its curated playlists.
Although it didn’t an-nounce the move, Apple’s music-streaming service also has stopped promot-ing Kelly’s music on some
of the featured playlists that it shows its 40 million subscribers. Like Spotify, Apple Music still carries an extensive selection of Kelly’s songs in its library.
Apple declined to fur-ther comment Saturday.
Pandora also declined to discuss how it is now treating Kelly’s music in its curated playlists, but said it has decided not to promote “artists with cer-tain demonstrable behav-ioral, ethical or criminal issues. We approach each of these scenarios on a case-by-case basis.”
But before the latest moves, Kelly took the stage, inviting some audi-ence members to join him. Stage hands also passed out t-shirts that read “Turn Up R. Kelly.”
“I’ve been through a lot of (expletive)” this week, he said. He thanked his fans, “for y’all to fight for me all these years.”
Kelly said he was ap-proached backstage to tone down his songs and lan-guage because there were families in attendance.
“Let me ask y’all some-thing,” he said to the crowd. “Can I do my show tonight?”
Kelly then launched into his sexually suggestive repertoire. At one point, he rubbed a fan’s cell phone between his legs. He persuaded another to wipe his face, tongue and crotch with a towel.

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Stevie Wonder has called out Kanye West for saying slavery is a choice, calling the idea “foolishness” and likening it to Holocaust denial.
Wonder brought up West without prompting during an interview Thursday af-ter a show at a West Holly-wood club.
“There’s been a lot of talk about what was said by Kanye,” Wonder said. “I want people to understand that the truth is the truth and a lie is a lie.
“We all know that slav-ery was not a choice,” he went on. “So I just think that people need to un-derstand that if you know your history, if you know the truth, you know that’s just foolishness.”
Wonder said saying slav-ery is a choice is like saying the Holocaust is not real.
West made the remarks
May 1 in an interview with TMZ.
“When you hear about slavery for 400 years, for 400 years, that sounds like choice,” West said.
He defended his state-ments and did not back down from them on Twitter after widespread criticism.
An email to his represen-tatives seeking a response to Wonder’s comments was not immediately returned.
Wonder spoke softly, not angrily, and said he also felt sympathy for West, especially over the rapper losing his mother, who died after having cosmetic sur-gery procedures in 2007.
“You know he lost his mother, the horrible thing that happened,” Wonder said. “I don’t know if he had a chance to really mourn about all that.”

LAS VEGAS — The black letters contrast sharply with the gradua-tion cap’s red fabric. They spell: “Vuela tan alto como puedas sin olvidar de donde vienes.”
“Fly as high as you can without forgetting where you come from.”
That’s the message that Brenda Romero, who crossed the border from Mexico with her mother when she was 2, wants to spread as she gradu-ates Saturday from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Her decorat-ed mortarboard is part of an emerging trend in which students are push-ing against the formality of graduation ceremonies and choosing to stand out in a sea of monochro-matic caps and gowns by expressing joy, angst or, increasingly, political opinions.
Photos shared on social media show mortarboards
adorned with expressions of gratitude toward family members and hope for the future, with phrases like “The best is yet to come” and “On to my new dream.”
Plenty also highlight the cost of higher education. “This hat was $95,990,” one cap reads. Another states: “Game of Loans. Interest is coming.”
And caps proclaiming that “Nevertheless, she persisted” abound.
The informal practice, which is not necessarily encouraged by institu-tions, has been around for years and is used by students to express their individuality. But over the past couple of years, it has taken a more political tone, said Sheila Bock, a folklorist and professor at UNLV.
“That desire of wanting to make aspects of one’s self visible that are other-
wise invisible has always been there,” said Bock, who is researching how and why students deco-rate their mortarboards.
“But within the last cou-ple of years, those types of assertions — particularly as they relate to citizen-ship, places of origin, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation — have taken more significance as they move into this mode of public display.”

WASHINGTON — Re-newed tensions between the U.S. and Cuba aren’t stopping the John F. Ken-nedy Center for the Per-forming Arts from shining a spotlight on the island’s rich cultural heritage during what’s being billed as the largest Cuban arts festival ever held in the United States.
“Artes de Cuba: From the Island to the World,” which began this past week and runs through May 20, showcases the work of more than 400 Cuban and
Cuban-American artists across more than 50 events. The program includes the salsa band Los Van Van and other musicians, visu-al artists, movies, theater companies and ballerina Alicia Alonso and the Bal-let Nacional de Cuba.
“Cuba is a cultural power-house, and to present such a diverse slate of Cuban and Cuban-American artists all in a two-week span is un-precedented,” said Deborah F. Rutter, president of the Kennedy Center.
The festival is not with-out controversy.
It has come under fire from Cuban-American
lawmakers, including GOP Reps. Carlos Cur-belo, Mario Diaz-Balart and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida, as well as Rep. Albio Sires, D-N.J. They wrote to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in April urg-ing him to consider the ad-visability of allowing “so many pro-Castro regime Cuban nationals” to enter the United States.
Cuban fashion designer Celia Ledon, 32, who is showing 10 pieces in the festival, said the festival is not political, but rather “an eclectic representation of what the Cuban culture is about.”

We may never know pre-cisely why Jennifer Hart drove off a cliff in Northern California, killing herself, her partner and six chil-dren they had adopted out of the foster care system. We do know this culminat-ed many years in which the children suffered severe abuse and neglect — and that despite investigations in multiple states, no child welfare agency intervened.
This tragedy could be written off as an isolated incident to be mourned. But the story also reflects the dangers of our foster care system’s obsession with adoption. The system sprints towards finalizing an adoption, then presumes success, hoists its trophy and takes its victory lap.
Every year, approximate-ly 50,000 children in fos-ter care are adopted after it’s been determined that they cannot go home. A 1997 federal law called the Adoption and Safe Families Act forces states to push for quick adoption, regard-less of whether another ar-rangement may make more sense. For instance, perma-nent guardianship with a relative or foster parent or subsidized custody might be viable options for providing children with stable homes. But under this federal law, those options can be consid-ered only after a state child welfare agency has defini-tively ruled out the possibil-ity of an adoption.
The federal government enforces this in two ways. First, it can deprive states of millions of dollars in fed-eral child welfare funding. Second, it can award per-formance bonuses to state child welfare agencies based on the number of adop-tions they finalize, and how quickly they do so. Talk to child welfare professionals and they will describe the immense pressures they face to get children in foster care adopted.
Certainly, adoption is a good outcome for some chil-
dren in foster care. Yet, we know too little to conclude that adoptions make sense for all of them. A child may want to have a continuing relationship a birth parent, even if that parent can-not care for them. Others may need ongoing support from state agencies, such as therapy, tutoring or spe-cialized medical care, to ad-dress serious emotional or behavioral needs.
The U.S. has done little research to support this adoption-over-all approach. For example, we don’t know how frequently children re-enter foster care after being taken away from adoptive parents, nor how often such families are investigated over suspected abuse or ne-glect. This type of informa-tion is well within the grasp of state child welfare agen-cies, but the federal govern-ment doesn’t require them to report it.
Though we know these things happen, no nation-al study has ever identi-fied the number of adop-tions from foster care that fall apart, nor the num-ber of adoptive parents who, unable to manage their children’s behaviors, place children in informal arrangements in other homes. (There have been small, local studies, but they vary widely in their estimates.) The Depart-ment of Health and Human Services simply concedes that it can’t figure it out be-cause after an adoption is finalized, records are closed and names or Social Social Security numbers may be changed. In other words, a family’s privacy rights after an adoption is preventing our foster care system from knowing whether these ar-rangements actually work.
And yet advocates who rep-resent families in the child welfare system can share countless stories of adopted children who later reentered foster care. For example, a former client of mine was ad-opted out of the Texas foster
care system by a family in Michigan. Just months later, her adoptive father claimed that the adoption agency lied about the girl’s mental health issues, decided he couldn’t control her poor be-havior, and handed her over to another family who prom-ised that they could take care of her. Instead, she was physically and sexually tor-tured, as were other children in the home. Years later, the child welfare system inter-vened and placed her back in foster care.
Like the Hart children, my client’s story will never be captured by federal data and the foster care system won’t learn from her expe-rience. Rather, the prevail-ing narrative will continue to equate adoption with success.
If the Hart tragedy offers us a lesson, it is that the federal government must reexamine how much pres-sure it puts on states to get children in foster care ad-opted quickly.
The Department of Health and Human Services could start by requiring state child welfare agencies to annually report how many child protective services in-vestigations involve adop-tive parents. It should also fund comprehensive studies into the number of foster care adoptions that are dis-solved or disrupted.
Unless such research proves that adoption truly is best for all kids in foster care, federal law shouldn’t give states a financial bounty to pursue adop-tions, nor should it force child welfare agencies to rule out adoptions before trying other options.
Would these changes have saved the Hart children? Probably not. But perhaps in the wake of their deaths, our foster care system can begin to exercise restraint and craft custody solutions that serve each unique child in its care.

Trump gambles on different path
to rein in IranWith everything Donald Trump has said about the
nuclear deal with Iran, from his earliest days as can-didate to the White House, his decision this week to end United States participation should come as no surprise.
Unlike many issues, on this he has been consistent. The president has said the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, otherwise known as the Iran deal, shorted U.S. interests, lacked transparency and only delayed Iran’s development of a nuclear weapon. Recent changes among his top advisers may have accelerated Trump’s timeline, but this is where he was headed.
What the nation confronts today is whether the ulti-mate destination is one the president’s team can reach.
Trump’s action will reinstate economic sanctions against Iran, pledge new ones and increase the risk of confrontation with an Iranian regime that has shown little interest in peaceful cooperation.
For now, this splits the U.S. and its major Europe-an allies and exacerbates tensions with China and Russia, who also joined the 2015 Iran deal. This is no insignificant issue, especially when the U.S. forces trade partners to choose between Iran — and sanc-tions — and the lucrative American market.
France, Germany and the United Kingdom wanted to avoid that but failed to sway Trump at the 11th hour. They now say they intend to negotiate with Iran to salvage what’s left of the deal.
Nevertheless, U.S. sanctions are a daunting ham-mer. They hobbled Iran’s economy, for instance, and it has not recovered, despite the regime receiving much of the deal’s financial benefit upfront. Unrest is rampant among Iranian citizens apparently less enamored with ballistic missile testing and funding terrorism than the people running their country.
That key regional allies Israel and Saudi Ara-bia back Trump’s decision should indicate a possi-ble opening to reshape the international landscape against the direction the Iranian regime demands.
The gamble for Trump is significant. He was able to withdraw U.S. participation because his predecessor, Barack Obama, chose not to seek congressional trea-ty approval. If the Iranian regime rushes back into enrichment activities, the resulting international cri-sis could lead to military action no one should want.
Managing this pivotal situation will demand clear-eyed strategic thinking and precise, steady execution. Neither has yet proven to be a strength of the Trump administration, but this is the road he has chosen.
The above story was originally published in The Dallas Morning News.
President Donald Trump proba-bly wouldn’t appreciate the com-parison, but his nominee to head the CIA seemed to be channeling Barack Obama in some of her tes-timony at her Senate confirmation hearings.
As expected, Acting CIA Director Gina Haspel, a career intelligence officer and a veteran of the agen-cy’s clandestine service, was ques-tioned about her role in the “en-hanced interrogation” of suspected terrorists after 9/11.
Haspel reportedly supervised a “black site” in Thailand during the interrogation of Abd al Rahim al Nashiri, a Saudi suspected of in-volvement in the 2000 bombing of the U.S. destroyer Cole. According to the Senate Intelligence Com-mittee, Nashiri was waterboarded at least three times.
Haspel promised the same com-mittee Wednesday that “under my leadership CIA will not restart … a detention and interrogation pro-
gram” such as the one the CIA pur-sued during the George W. Bush administration. She noted that “the law provides that no individu-al in U.S. custody may be subjected to any interrogation technique or approach that is not authorized by and listed in the Army Field Manu-al” — a stricture that rules out wa-terboarding and other “enhanced” interrogation methods.
Haspel also said that “I would not allow CIA to undertake activity that I thought was immoral — even if it was technically legal.” But, in a riv-eting back-and-forth, she resisted an attempt by California’s Sen. Kamala Harris to get her to condemn what the agency did in the past.
Harris: “It’s a yes or no answer. Do you believe the previous inter-rogation techniques were immor-al? I’m not asking, ‘Do you believe they were legal?’ I’m asking ‘Do you believe they were immoral?”
Haspel: “Senator, I believe that CIA did extraordinary work to
prevent another attack on this country given the legal tools that we were authorized to use.”
Harris: “Please answer yes or no. Do you believe in hindsight that those techniques were immoral?”
Haspel: “Senator, what I believe sitting here today is that I support the higher moral standard we have decided to hold ourselves to.”
Listening to this exchange, it was hard not to be reminded of a much-criticized statement by Obama. Asked about a possible investigation of the excesses of the Bush administration’s war on ter-ror, Obama said that while clear acts of wrongdoing should be pun-ished, “I’m more interested in look-ing forward than I am in looking backwards.”
As part of that forward-looking policy, Obama banned waterboard-ing by executive order, ordered the closing of secret CIA prisons abroad and promised to shut down the prison at Guantanamo Bay.
(Congress had other ideas.) But Obama avoided actions that would have held his predecessor account-able for migrating to what former Vice President Dick Cheney once called the “dark side.”
The “look forward, not backward” policy was an exercise in pragmatic politics on Obama’s part, but it also amounted to a sort of amnesty for extreme, even immoral measures taken in the post-9/11 panic.
The problem for Haspel is that senators inclined to extend such a dispensation to her for her role in those frightening times must con-tend with the fact that she would be serving a president who looks back at those days and appar-ently likes what he sees. “I would bring back waterboarding,” Trump said during the campaign, “and I’d bring back a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding.”
Fairly or not, Haspel has to bear the weight of those words as well as her own actions.

PAHOA, Hawaii — A new fissure emitting steam and lava spatter spurred Hawaii officials to call for more evacuations on Sunday as residents braced for an expected eruption from the Kilauea volcano.
The Hawaii County Civ-il Defense issued an alert that an 18th fissure was discovered along a road west of a major highway on the Big Island. Resi-dents on that road were being told to evacuate,
and two nearby commu-nity centers were serving as shelters for people and pets.
Popping, exploding and sloshing sounds could be heard from the fissure as far as 1,500 yards away.
The fissures, ground de-formation and abundant volcanic gases indicate eruptions on the eastern flank of Kilauea are likely to continue.
The latest opening came the morning after two other fissures opened on Saturday. Most of the lava outbreaks have occurred
in and around the Leilani Estates neighborhood, where molten rock has burst through the ground, destroying more than two dozen homes and result-ing in evacuation orders for nearly 2,000 people.
The U.S. Geological Sur-vey reported that the 17th fissure, which opened Saturday night, was spat-tering but no flow had formed. The 16th fissure had spilled lava into an open field earlier in the day.
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reported the
fissures opened just east of the Puna Geothermal Venture energy conver-sion plant, where steam and hot liquid are brought up through underground wells and the steam feeds a turbine generator to produce electricity. Plant workers last week as a pre-caution removed 50,000 gallons of a flammable gas stored at the site.
Geologists warn that Kilauea’s summit could have an explosive steam eruption that would hurl rocks and ash miles into the sky.

NEW ORLEANS — One used to deal drugs on the streets of New Orleans. Another grew up in Chica-go with two drug-addicted parents. A third survived the tough streets of New York and Washington, D.C., where he once stared down the barrel of a gun.
All three young black men became board-certi-fied doctors.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Pierre Johnson, Maxime Mad-here and Joe Semien Jr. said they knew the odds were stacked against them when they entered Xavier University of Lou-isiana in 1998 with hopes of becoming doctors.
Their early lives, college struggles, and victories are chronicled in “Pulse of Perseverance: Three Black Doctors on Their Journey to Success.” They said they wrote the book to show Af-
rican-American boys that athletes and entertainers aren’t the only examples of black achievement and success.
“Young boys need to know it’s not a game in these streets. They need to know that we are completely mar-ginalized as people of color when we mess up. They also need to know you don’t have to rap or shoot a ball to get out of their circumstances,” said Madhere, an anesthesi-ologist in Baton Rouge.
Semien, Johnson and Madhere each set a goal early on to become a doc-tor. Semien, an obstetri-cian/gynecologist from New Orleans who prac-tices in Lake Charles, de-scribes in the book how he became intrigued by a sixth-grade anatomy class. Madhere discovered his love for medicine after volunteering at a hospi-tal. Johnson said he “just knew” he wanted to heal people after dealing with his parents.
Against the odds: 3 black doctors detail journey to success

SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea said Sat-urday that it will disman-tle its nuclear test site in less than two weeks, in a dramatic event that would set up leader Kim Jong Un’s summit with Presi-dent Donald Trump next month. Trump welcomed the “gracious gesture.”
In a statement carried by state media, North Korea’s Foreign Ministry said all of the tunnels at the country’s northeastern testing ground will be de-stroyed by explosion, and observation and research facilities and ground-based guard units will also be removed.
Kim had already re-vealed plans to shut the test site by the end of May during his summit with South Korean President Moon Jae-in last month. Analysts say that while the closure of the site is important, it doesn’t rep-resent a material step toward full denucleariza-tion.
“A ceremony for disman-tling the nuclear test ground is now scheduled between May 23 and 25,” depend-ing on weather, the Foreign Ministry’s statement said, adding that journalists from the United States, South Korea, China, Russia and Britain will be invited to witness the dismantling.
The ministry said the North will continue to “promote close contacts and dialogue with the neighboring countries and the international society so as to safeguard peace and stability on the Kore-an Peninsula and over the globe.”
Trump, in a tweet Satur-day, thanked North Korea for its plan to dismantle the nuclear test site, call-ing it “a very smart and gracious gesture!”
Following the Moon-Kim meeting, Moon’s office said Kim was willing to disclose the process to internation-al experts, but the North’s statement Saturday didn’t address allowing experts on the site.
South Korea had no im-
mediate response to the statement.
The North’s announce-ment comes days after Washington announced that the historic summit between Kim and Trump will be held June 12 in Singapore.
South Korea has said Kim has genuine interest in dealing away his nucle-ar weapons in return for economic benefits. How-ever, there are lingering doubts about whether Kim would ever agree to fully relinquish the weapons he probably views as his only guarantee of survival.
North Korea has invited the outside world to wit-ness the dismantling of its nuclear facilities before. In June 2008, international broadcasters were allowed to show the demolishing of a cooling tower at the Nyongbyon reactor site, a year after the North reached an agreement with the U.S. and four oth-er nations to disable its nuclear facilities in return for an aid package worth about $400 million.

HOUSTON (AP) — A Texas woman who killed her cheating husband by running him down with her car in a jealous rage has been released from prison.
Sixty-year-old Clara Harris left prison Friday after serving 15 years of a 20-year sentence in the 2002 killing of her ortho-dontist husband, David Harris, in the parking lot of a suburban Houston ho-tel.
Harris hired a private investigator after becom-ing suspicious of her hus-
band, who was tracked to the hotel where he was found with his reception-ist-turned-mistress.
Clara Harris fought with the woman before strik-ing her husband with her Mercedes-Benz and re-peatedly running over his body. The couple's teenage daughter was in the car at the time.
Harris was convicted of murder in 2003.
The case drew wide-spread attention and led to a made-for-television movie.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Eric Greitens was a busy man in spring 2015.
He was launching a gu-bernatorial campaign by calling donors to a veterans’ charity he founded. He was promoting his new book “Resilience” with the help of a university-administered
grant. And he was initiating an extramarital affair.
Three years later, Greit-ens’ ambitious spring has grown into a mountain of troubles towering over Mis-souri government and poli-tics that has overshadowed the annual legislative ses-sion and altered the narra-tive of a pivotal U.S. Senate race.
Greitens gets his first chance at vindication — or a prison sentence — when
Missouri governor’s troubles trace to action in spring 2015
he goes to trial this week on a felony invasion of privacy indictment alleging he took and transmitted a noncon-sensual photo of a woman after binding her hands, blindfolding her and remov-ing her clothes in the base-ment of his St. Louis home on March 21, 2015.
The first-term Repub-lican governor, who had presidential aspirations, has acknowledged having an “entirely consensual re-lationship” with his former hairdresser a year before his 2016 election. But he has denied criminal wrong-doing while portraying him-self as the victim of a “polit-ical witch hunt” — a phrase that has resonated with some of his supporters.
Regardless of the outcome of this week’s trial, Missouri lawmakers are to convene Friday evening for a his-toric 30-day special session
to consider whether to im-peach Greitens in an at-tempt to remove him from office.
And regardless of the out-come of any impeachment proceeding, Greitens faces another trial at a yet-to-be-determined date on a felony charge of tampering with computer data. That charge alleges Greitens disclosed a donor list of The Mission Continues to his political fundraiser in April 2015 without the permission of the St. Louis-based veter-ans’ charity.
Greitens initially denied working off the charity’s donor list when The Associ-ated Press first reported in October 2016 that his cam-paign had obtained it. But the governor subsequently acknowledged doing so, and his attorney has suggested Greitens was entitled to use it.

PARIS — A knife-wield-ing assailant killed a 29-year-old man and in-jured four others in a lively neighborhood near Paris’ famed Opera Gar-nier before he was killed by police Saturday night. The Islamic State group claimed the attacker as one of its “soldiers.”
Counterterrorism au-thorities took charge of the investigation, and Presi-dent Emmanuel Macron vowed that France would not bow to extremists de-spite being the target of multiple deadly attacks in recent years.
Paris police officers evac-uated people from some buildings in the Right Bank neighborhood after the attack, which hap-pened on rue Monsigny at about 9 p.m. Bar patrons and opera-goers described surprise and confusion in
the immediate area.Beyond the police cor-
don, however, crowds still filled nearby cafes and the city’s night life resumed its normal pace soon after the attack.
The unidentified attack-er targeted five people and then fled, according to Paris police and a wit-ness. A 29-year-old man was killed, and four others were injured. When police officers arrived minutes later, he threatened them and was shot to death, ac-cording to police union of-ficial Yvan Assioma.
Authorities are working to identify the assailant and anyone who might have helped him, Interior Minister Gerard Collomb told reporters Sunday.
Prosecutor Francois Mo-lins said counterterrorism authorities are leading the investigation on po-tential charges of murder and attempted murder in connection with terrorist motives.

Kevin Farren, a Lewis Road resident, said he was notified that his 6-year-old son was reassigned from Stanley to Hadley.
“My wife and I were very, very taken aback and sur-prised and saddened by that, primarily due to our proximity to the Stanley School,” Farren said. “It never occurred to us we would be a candidate to be reassigned due to our proximity.”
Farren said his son is a walker — his wife timed the distance last week and found that it was a 2 min-ute and 37 second walk to school for him. They live approximately 650 feet from the school, he said.
One day, unprompted, Farren said his son men-tioned that he loves walk-ing to school because he gets his exercise and it’s also a fun time with his mother.
Farren said they ap-pealed the decision to Swampscott Public Schools, but if the reas-signment were to stick, his son would no longer be able to walk to school. From his home, it would be a 20 to 25 minute walk to Hadley and about a 2-mile car ride.
Farren said as a mid-dle school teacher, he encounters students who love coming to school, but also has students who loathe it. Often, he said that perspective can trace back to a positive or negative experience at the elementary level. So much of student success depends on attitude, he said.
“I am very concerned for my son and for lots of kids who are going to be uprooted from where they began their elemen-tary careers after only one year — that we are creating a negative expe-rience like this,” Farren said.
“From speaking to peo-ple around town, it is causing people to feel like they’re pitted against one another as to why one student gets to stay in a particular school and another student has to move.”
Angelakis said there were some families who volunteered for the reas-signments.
School officials also made the determination of what students would move based on program-ming, distance from home to school not to ex-ceed 1.8 miles, keeping siblings together in the same school, minimiz-ing the number of tran-sitions for children and moves by neighborhood if possible. Parental re-quests were also consid-ered, Angelakis said.
Angelakis said the re-assignments are meant to reduce hallway learn-ing, or create appropriate learning spaces, and cre-ate safer overall learning environments in the event of an emergency.
In the budget pro-cess, Angelakis said the amount of teaching and learning that is occurring in the elementary school hallways is a major is-sue, which is neither ac-ceptable nor appropriate for the district’s students and teachers. She said the budget proposal is about equity — equity for the district’s students, teach-ers and equity in learning space.
School officials have said the elementary class-room reductions are based on an effort to address the major space issues at all three of the district’s ele-mentary schools that can’t wait for a new building.
The school district has been accepted into the Massachusetts School Building Authority for replacement of Hadley El-ementary School — state-ments of interest have also been submitted for Clarke and Stanley — and officials are vying for a consolidated K-5 elemen-tary school to replace the town’s three elementary schools.
Town Meeting mem-bers will be asked later this month to approve the town budget and a $750,000 feasibility study for the proposed school.

Motherhood is nothing if not a roller coaster of emo-tions, and a new book on the topic captures the wild ride perfectly.
“Amateur Hour: Motherhood in Essays and Swear Words” by Kimberly Harrington careens from the hilarious to the poignant, eliciting nods of recognition, fists of outrage and many moments of bemusement and reflection.
Harrington, a regular contributor to the humor site McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, writes movingly about the grief of miscarriage and the gift of doting grand-parents. She writes passionately about the sanctity of parental leave and the inhumanity of work intruding on the foundational early months of a family. She writes hysterically and authentically about what wedding vows would sound like if we wrote them based on actual experience.
Her essay outlining the job description for “Mother” starts with a fitting summary: “This position manages to be of the utmost importance and yet somehow also the least visible and/or respected in the entire organi-zation. You will enjoy a whole bunch of superficial at-tention and lip service from culture, advertisers, and politicians but will never receive a credible follow-up in the form of a concrete plan for advancement, support, benefits, or retirement. Please note: although you will coordinate, plan, and do almost everything, you should expect to crash face-first into bed every night feeling like you’ve accomplished basically nothing. Welcome!”
Not all of the essays land, as is to be expected with any collection of writings, but if the pitch-perfect book title strikes a chord with you, most of the essays will, too. It’s a balm knowing you’re not the only one on the roller coaster.

LYNN — As the wave of 1960s nostalgia crested about 10 years ago, the “Seventies Preservation Society” came into existence.
You saw it advertised on commercials, you saw the same kind of compilation albums as there were during the sixties retro era, and there’s even a website devoted to it.
And while sixties devotees still pack venues for the “Happy Together” tour with the Turtles, as well as other revival acts, they all had nothing on the Tavares/New Stylistics concert that filled City Hall Saturday night in a local meeting of the “Seventies Preservation Society.”
It was a lively crowd indeed, and a lot of them walked in with their boogie shoes on, and with outfits to match. Best outfit of the night was a guy who walked into the balcony section resplendent in white — counterpointed with bright red shoes. This crowd came to dance — and dance they did.
There were actually three acts Saturday. The first one, Vinyl Groove, a five-member group using recorded mu-sic as backing, sang a collection of popular disco hits from the height of the era, sounding remarkably simi-lar to the groups that made the tunes famous, such as Odyssey on “Native New Yorker.” It was a nice warmup for what was to come, but at the same time, the canned music was a turnoff. It wasn’t mixed well, and the per-cussion was almost oppressive (that ever-pulsating bass drum-fueled feature of disco was always a bit annoying to me anyway).
The “New Stylistics” (as opposed to simply “The Sty-listics,” who still exist) feature original member Russell Thompkins Jr., who, at 67, still has the sweet pipes. He and his two cohorts — Jonathan Buckson and Raymond Johnson — came out in blazing red dinner jackets. And while Thompkins serenaded the near sold-out audience at the auditorium with the sweet sounds of “Betcha By Golly Wow” and “You Are My Everything,” Johnson and Buckson, both former members of the orig-inal band, performed the smooth dance steps reminis-cent of The Temptations.
However, it was Buckson who took over the low, mel-low beginning of “You Make Me Feel Brand New,” a wonderful song that transcends eras and genres (ditto “Betcha By Golly Wow, by the way).
The “New Stylistics” came backed with a horn section (and I’m a sucker for horns! ), two keyboards, drums and a lead and bass guitarist, and the band was as tight as could be. The whole package was thoroughly enjoyable.
The Providence, R.I.-based Tavares, who, like Thomp-kins and Co., sang for just over an hour, were electric. Their band was a bit more stripped down — synthesiz-ers covered all the horn parts — and the four remaining brothers (out of the original five) put on a show worthy of how they must have sounded in their prime (even though Brother Ralph was struggling through, feeling “under the weather”).
Despite Ralph not feeling up to par, Tavares gave it all they had — and it was more than enough. And they proved — as Thompkins proved — that there’s more to them than just a few disco hits (though “More than a Woman” and “It Only Takes a Minute Girl” were cer-tainly front and center).
Each brother had his moment. And like a lot of groups you see, once Tavares started rattling off the songs, you realized you didn’t know they’d done a lot of them. They also did a very nice cover of Hall & Oates’ “She’s Gone,” which was performed well here.
The finale was a lot of fun. They invited members of the previous two bands onstage for a rousing version of “Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel” to send the crowd home in a very festive mood.

A win and two milestones for SpartansSt. Mary’s girls lacrosse romps
By Harold RiveraITEM STAFF
LYNN — It’s crunch time for the St. Mary’s girls lacrosse team as the Spar-tans inch toward a state tournament berth.
Although tough weather and injuries have taken their tolls on the Spartans, Saturday’s 15-8 win over Arlington Catholic at Manning Field proved St. Mary’s isn’t letting anything get in its way of reaching the postseason.
With the win, St. Mary’s improved to 8-8 on the season. The Spartans have four games remaining and need two more wins to cement a bid in the tour-nament.
“I’m proud of them,” St. Mary’s coach K.C. Butt said. “We played four physi-cal, emotional games this week. We have a lot of injuries but the girls are going home, resting, icing and giving it their all on the field. They’re smart, they’re working on the field and making adjust-ments.”
Codi Butt led the Spartans offense with a 10-goal performance, scoring five goals in each half and dishing two as-sists. The junior midfielder now has 100 goals scored this season and 205 scored in her three-year varsity career.
Meg Parthum added two goals with two assists, Madi Hentosh scored two goals with four assists, Riley Lynch scored one goal and Kelsey Sullivan tal-lied one assist.
In net, goalie Lauren Vaccaro made 12 saves.

LYNN — The stakes in Saturday morn-ing’s game between the St. Mary’s and Arlington Catholic girls lacrosse teams were clear for Spartans junior Codi Butt.
A midfielder, Butt needed five goals to reach 200 for her career, 10 goals to reach 100 for the 2018 season and a win to help the Spartans close in on a state tournament berth.
She checked off all three of those boxes in a 15-8 St. Mary’s victory over the Cou-gars at Manning Field.
Butt finished the win with 10 goals and two assists, scoring five goals in each half.
“Codi works hard,” St. Mary’s coach K.C. Butt, Codi’s mother, said. “She works hard all the time, not just in practice. She’s always working, always playing lacrosse. She’s always catching, throwing, shooting in the backyard all the time. It pays off, you can tell.”
Butt fired five tallies into the back of the net in a second half St. Mary’s rally that saw an 8-6 game turn into a 15-6 rout. Arlington Catholic scored twice in the closing minute of play for the 15-8 final.
For Butt, the career milestone is a re-flection of teamwork. Madi Henstosh finished the game with four assists, while Meg Parthum dished two assists and Kelsey Sullivan logged one assist.
“I think I owe a lot of it to my team-mates, Meg (Parthum) and Madi (Hen-tosh) especially,” Butt said. “I couldn’t do it without them. They find me on the field.”

SAUGUS — Today’s game between the Saugus and Swampscott softball teams at Belmonte Middle School will have plenty of ramifications for the Sa-chems.
Saugus, 5-8, needs five wins in seven games to clinch a berth in the state tournament.
But in the midst of a late-season playoff push, the Sachems will come to-gether for a cause bigger than softball this after-noon. The Sachems will hold a fundraiser for pe-diatric cancer, and all pro-ceeds will go toward Bos-ton Children’s Hospital and Dana Farber Cancer Institute.
The Sachems are ral-lying around one of their teammates, Jeovana Gon-calves, as they aim to raise awareness and money for
a good cause. Goncalves, an eighth grader at Bel-monte, is a member of the Saugus JV team.
“Jeovana has been bat-tling cancer. I think it goes back to 2016 and then it came back toward the tail end of 2017,” Saugus var-sity coach Steve Almquist said. “The team wanted to do something to show our support and give back to the two hospitals that have been treating her along the way, Dana Far-ber and Boston Children’s Hospital. It’s a nice op-portunity to do something small on our part in help-ing raise a little money.”

BOSTON (AP) — The assignment for Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris in his first start this post-season was easy to explain but nearly impossible to execute.
His job: Guard LeBron James, and keep the four-time NBA MVP from running the Celtics out of their own gym in the Eastern Con-ference finals for the second year in a row.
“He’s obviously the best player in the game,” said Morris, who during the week boasted that he was up to the challenge and on Sunday ex-plained why he wanted it.
“Because I’m a competitor. He’s
the best player, and I’m going to be able to tell my kids this one day.”
Morris scored 21 points and added 10 rebounds while pestering James into a playoff-high seven turnovers — and a playoff-low 15 points — and the Celtics opened a 21-point, first-quarter lead to scorch Cleve-land 108-83 in Game 1.
Jaylen Brown scored 23 points and Al Horford had 20 for Bos-ton, which ran off 17 points in a row in the first and never allowed the Cavaliers within single digits again. The Celtics led by 28 when Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue pulled James for good with 7:09 left.
Game 2 is Tuesday night.“I have zero level of concern at
this stage,” said James, who was 5 for 16 from the floor and missed all five 3-point attempts.
“I’ve been down before in the postseason, but for me there’s nev-er any level of concern — no mat-ter how bad I played tonight, with seven turnovers, how inefficient I was shooting the ball,” he said. “We have another opportunity to be better as a ball club coming in Tuesday night, and we’ll see what happens.”

Arlington Cath-olic got one back to make it a 2-1 game before Butt fired her second goal in to make it a 2-goal lead again. The Cougars scored to make it 3-2 with 20:07 remaining in the period. The Spartans answered with a 3-goal spurt, tallies from Parthum, Lynch and Butt, to grab a 6-2 with 8:42 left in the half. Butt poured in two more goals through the remainder of the period, including one with 4.3 seconds, giving
the Spartans an 8-5 lead at recess.
“I think the girls were still exhausted from Fri-day’s game,” K.C. Butt said. “We didn’t take care of the ball and Arlington Catholic kept coming back at us. After halftime we had a nice talk and they did a nice job of playing the game that they can play.”
St. Mary’s took total con-trol in the second half. Ar-lington Catholic slimmed its deficit to 8-6 with a goal 50 seconds into the period. St. Mary’s answered with a 7-goal run, powered by five scores from Butt and two tallies from Hentosh, to seize momentum. The
Spartans rally gave St. Mary’s a comfortable 15-6 lead with 5:45 left on the clock.
“They took care of the ball,” K.C. Butt said of the second half surge. “They did what they needed to do. Our offense settled down, moved the ball nice-ly and didn’t rush any-thing. That was what we needed.”
Aside from two Cougars goals in the final minute, the Spartans defense held Arlington Catholic to just one goal for the majority of the second half.
“Unfortunately one of my good defensemen wasn’t feeling well,” K.C. Butt said. “I didn’t realize
it and she was struggling. I had some younger kids go in and step up. They did a nice job. They listened really well, they worked together and the commu-nication improved. That helps a lot.”
St. Mary’s has two games each against Lowell Cath-olic and Lynnfield remain-ing on its regular season schedule.
“If we play like that, we should have a really good shot at it (tournament),” K.C. Butt said. “With so many injuries, it’s nice that this upcoming week is slow. We have a game Monday and then we don’t play again until Saturday. The kids need that.”

“We just have to move forward.
“We have to go over the breakdowns,” St. Mary’s coach Derek Dana. “These
guys have been doing a pretty good job. It’s the same the team that has won eight out of nine. We just have to compete every day.”
The Spartans (9-5) vis-it Williams Wednesday (3:30).
BOYS LACROSSENeedham 15 St. John’s 9
The Eagles struggled to get defensive stops throughout the game, which prevented them from making a come-back after giving up four straight goals on a 2-min-ute locked-in penalty in the second quarter.
Jack Rickards led the way for the Eagles with four goals, with two each from Bryan Pennty and Jake Surette.
Dan DeLaus, Luke Bren-nan, and Craig Yannone scored goals as well.
Yannone was 22-of-27 in faceoffs.

Hailie Baker and Dan-ielle Diantgikis each reg-istered assists.
Top defenders were Kay-lyn Falco, Emily Carney, Ava Lavalle and Rachel Turner.
Goalies Olivia Lavalle and Sydney Nagle each played a half and had a combined nine saves.
CELTICSFrom B1
Kevin Love had 17 points and eight rebounds, and James added nine assists and seven boards. The Cavaliers missed their first 14 3-point attempts of the game and shot just 32 percent in the first half.
By that time, Boston led 61-35 — the biggest halftime playoff deficit in James’ career.
“I think we’re very alert to the fact that we’ll get a heavyweight punch on Tuesday night,” Celtics coach Brad Stevens said. “It’s another great chal-lenge, another great op-portunity to experience something for this team.”
With injured stars Gor-don Hayward and Kyrie Irving on the bench in street clothes, the Celtics continued their stunning run this season with what may have been the most surprising turn of events yet. A year after dropping the first two games at home against Cleveland in a five-game East final, the Celtics pounced on James, and the favored Cavaliers were never really in it.
“The last couple of play-offs, and our meeting at the end of year, they blew us out of the water,” Bos-ton guard Marcus Smart said. “We’ve got a differ-ent team, just like they do, and a lot of younger guys. So for them to see that, and have that feeling like we did tonight, is huge.”
TIP-INSCavaliers: Kyle Korver’s
3-pointer with nine min-utes left in the third period was their first after miss-ing 14 in a row. It cut the deficit from 28 points to 65-40. ... Tristan Thompson had eight points and 11 re-bounds.
Celtics: The Celtics im-proved to 8-0 at home this postseason. They do not have to win on the road to
reach the NBA Finals. ... Boston’s 36-18 lead at the end of one quarter was the second-largest in a playoff game in franchise history.
GET HYPEDThe Celtics took the floor
to a hype video that began with the broadcast of Hay-ward’s injury in the first quarter of the first game, at Cleveland. A variety of commentators predicted the team’s demise, includ-ing Hall of Famer Charles Barkley saying: “Their sea-son’s over.”
As more players went down to injury — includ-ing Irving, who came over from the Cavaliers last summer but was done for the season in March — the prophesies grew even gloomier.
But there the Celtics were, back in the Eastern Conference finals against the Cavaliers for the sec-ond year in a row — with Hayward, Irving, Daniel Theis and Shane Larkin all injured and Stevens down to an eight-man rotation.
It was more than they needed.
Starting in place of Aron Baynes, Morris backed up his boast that he could cov-er James better than any-one except Kawhi Leon-ard. The Cavaliers star had seven of Cleveland’s nine turnovers after ac-cruing eight in the entire four-game, second-round sweep of the Raptors.
“Our confidence level is very high,” said Morris, who recorded the first post-season double-double of his career. “The younger guys to the older guys, we think we can compete and play with anybody. At the end of the day, all the talking is done off the court.”
FAST STARTHorford made his first
seven shots and scored 10, including eight straight, during the 17-0 run that turned a three-point defi-cit into a 21-7 lead.
SAUGUSFrom B1
be accepted. The idea to pitch in for
the cause, Almquist said, came from the players.
“The captains and the girls all got together, it was their idea,” Almquist said. “We wanted to do some-thing as a program. It was all brought on by the kids.
“I’m beyond proud of the kids,” Almquist said. “It’s kind of a common theme in Saugus. When some-one’s down and needs help, people come together. I’m beyond proud of the kids for coming up with this. They’ve championed the idea of getting the word out. We’re hoping to get as many people at the game.”
As tough weather con-ditions plagued the start of the spring season, Gon-calves was unable to take the field this year. Al-though she isn’t playing, Goncalves remains close to the program in her role as team manager.
“We didn’t want to lose her from the program,” Almquist said. “She’s with the program as a team manager. She has made it to a few games. Hopefully
she’s at 100 percent and ready to get out on the field next year.”
The 2018 campaign has been an up-and-down sea-son for the Sachems. Sau-gus has found itself on the wrong end of a handful of close games but Almquist and his players are opti-mistic about their post-season chances.
“Every game is cru-cial now,” Almquist said. “We’ve kind of dug our-selves a hole. We’ve lost a couple one-run games. We just can’t seem to find the consistency we need. Hopefully we can put it all together over the next few games. If you can get in, anything can happen. We just need to start playing a little better.
“Hopefully (today) gives us the start we need,” Alm-quist added. “It should be a fun day against a fun team. We’re going up against a great Swamp-scott team. We always have competitive games against Swampscott. Ev-eryone’s really looking forward to it.”
First pitch for Mon-day’s game between the Sachems and Big Blue is scheduled for 4 p.m.
CODI BUTTFrom B1
at St. Mary’s, Butt has totalled 205 goals and 88 assists. That places her at 293 career points, sev-en shy of reaching the 300-point plateau.
“I hoped to be the best player that I could be,” said Butt, a Swampscott native who also plays on St. Mary’s girls hockey
team. “I think I’m getting there. I had hoped that I’d reach this point and I hope to continue to reach my goals and continue reach-ing accolades like this.”
Making the morning even more memorable for Butt and her team-mates, the Spartans were able to come away with a key win as they push to-ward a state tournament
berth. With the victory, St. Mary’s improved to 8-8 on the season with four regu-lar season games remain-ing. The Spartans need two more wins to quality for states. St. Mary’s hosts Lowell Catholic Monday (5) at Manning.
The Spartans have bat-tled a handful of key inju-ries throughout the year but that hasn’t stopped
them from closing in on the postseason.
“I’d rather win than score the 200th goal,” Butt said. “I think it shows that we’re willing to overcome a lot. It says a lot about the mental toughness that our coaches have instilled on us throughout the sea-son. It shows a lot about our resiliency and that we refuse to give up.”

Simpsoncaptures Playerscrown
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Webb Simpson navigat-ed his way through a few mistakes but not too much stress to win The Players Championship on Sunday.
Staked to a seven-shot lead, no one got closer than four shots of Simp-son, even after a double bogey on the 18th hole when his only concern was finishing the hole at the TPC Sawgrass. He closed with a 1-over 73 for a four-shot victory, his biggest title since the 2012 U.S. Open at Olympic Club.
Tiger Woods made an-other big run that revved up the crowd and revived hopes that he was close to winning. So did Jason Dufner, Jimmy Walker and Danny Lee. None could do enough to catch Simpson during record scoring at the final Play-ers Championship in May.
His only big mistake didn’t even matter. Simp-son’s approach to the 18th bounded across the green and into the water. He closed with a double bo-gey, but that only made the final margin closer.
Justin Thomas left the TPC Sawgrass as the No. 1 player in the world. He closed with a 66 to tie for 11th, more than enough to end Dustin Johnson’s 15-month reign at the top of the ranking. Thomas is the 21st player to reach No. 1 since the ranking began in 1986, and the seventh American.
Jimmy Walker, Charl Schwartzel and Xander Schauffele all shot 67 to tie for second.
Woods ran off six birdies through 12 holes in the final round. He was tied for sec-ond at one point, still four shots behind, but that was as close he got. Woods made a soft bogey on the 14th hole when he missed the green with a sand wedge, and was well short of the island green in making double bo-gey on No. 17. He shot 69 and tied for 11th.
Simpson tied the course record with a 63 in the second round when he seized control.

Martinez homered and had three RBIs, Mookie Betts had two hits and made a sensational diving catch, and the Red Sox beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-3 on Sunday.
Boston is 12-1 in series finales this season, winning its past six. The Red Sox went 6-4 on a trip to Texas and AL East rivals New York and Toronto.
“Overall, I think we had a really good road trip,” Martinez said.
Boston also maintained a share of the best record in the majors with the Yankees, who beat Oakland on Sun-day.
“To come out of a road trip like that is definitely something to be proud of,” said reliever Joe Kelly, who need-ed four pitches to record his second save in three opportunities.
Boston, which has already had two three-city trips, plays 13 of its next 16 and 19 of its next 26 at Fenway Park.
“It’s nice to go home, play in front of our own fans and sleep in our own beds,” Martinez said.
Martinez’s 10th homer was a two-run shot in the first inning off right-hander Joe Biagini (0-2). John Axford came on to face Martinez in the fifth, and Martinez greeted him with an RBI single, scoring Betts.
Betts, who had two singles and two stolen bases, ended the fourth by slid-ing into foul territory down the right-field line to catch Richard Urena’s sinking liner.
“He’s becoming a force, not only the field but in the clubhouse, in the dug-out,” manager Alex Cora said. “He’s
becoming a leader. It’s fun to watch. On a daily basis you’re expecting something great and he’ll do it.”
Russell Martin had three hits for the Blue Jays, who lost for the eighth time in 11 home games. Toronto is 11-11 at Rogers Centre.
The Blue Jays chased left-hander Drew Pomeranz during a three-run fifth. Justin Smoak hit a two-run double and Yangervis Solarte walked before Hector Velazquez replaced Pomeranz. One out later, Martin add-ed an RBI single to get Toronto with-in 4-3.
Pomeranz allowed three runs and five hits in four-plus innings, failing to complete six innings for the first time in three starts.
“Nothing felt good coming out of my hand,” Pomeranz said.
Velazquez (5-0) worked two score-less innings. Barnes and Heath Hem-bree each pitched one inning, and Kelly finished.
“They did an outstanding job,” said Cora, who was without closer Craig Kimbrel and setup man Carson Smith, both of whom needed a day off.
Solarte singled off Matt Barnes in the seventh and tried to score from first on Martin’s two-out double, but was thrown out at home plate to end the inning. Shortstop Xander Bogaerts fielded the throw from left fielder Andrew Benintendi and fired it to catcher Christian Vazquez, who tagged Solarte to preserve Boston’s narrow lead.
“Pretty solid,” Cora said. “Under control. Nobody panicked.”
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said he had no problem with third base coach Luis Rivera’s decision to send Solarte.

MONDAY, MAY 14, 2018 THE DAILY ITEM B5
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)Show everyone what you have to offer, and make it clear what you want in return. Taking control and doing all you can to reach your objective will be beneficial.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)Someone who knows truth from fiction will question you if you don’t stick to the facts. Personal changes will bring you the most satisfaction and the highest returns.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)Ask for help if you need it. Col-laborating with people who un-derstand your situation will en-courage you to get things done and move forward, even if you are stuck in the past.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)You may crave change, but it’s important to keep things in perspective and to move slowly to ensure that you do every-thing according to protocol. Simplicity and moderation are in your best interest.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Make plans to explore and ex-pand your mind, skills and ex-perience. Set up meetings, sign up for a course or network with like-minded people.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)Domestic problems will esca-late if you don’t handle sen-sitive matters diplomatically. Compromise and a strategical-ly orchestrated plan will help you get your way. Kindness and understanding are encouraged.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)Someone will hype an idea when trying to lure you to take part in a risky venture. Don’t take a chance or believe every-thing you hear.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Check out your options and make a decision based on what you want, not on what someone else is prompting you to do. Trust your judgment and do your own thing.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)You’ll be faced with an emo-tional decision. Don’t overreact or set impossible goals. Logic, reason and knowledge will lead you to a wise choice. Personal improvements are favored.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)How you handle your personal finances will make a difference. Refrain from buying products that promise the impossible, and beware investments that sound too good to be true.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)Personal changes should be made for the right reasons. Don’t do anything out of an-ger. Think about how you could have better handled a recent situation.
HOROSCOPE
“It is not really difficult to construct a series of infer-ences, each dependent upon its predecessor and each sim-ple in itself.”
That was easy for Sherlock Holmes to say, but harder for us nonfiction mortals. How-ever, to play bridge well, you need to draw accurate infer-ences from everyone else’s bidding and play.
Today’s deal is a one-pipe problem for Holmes, but at least a three-piper for Dr. Wat-son.
South is in four spades. West leads his singleton di-amond. South takes East’s 10 with his ace, cashes the spade ace and plays anoth-er spade to West’s king. West shifts to the club two. What should happen after that?
South’s jump to four spades was a tad exuberant.
South knew that if someone who opens with a pre-empt leads a different suit, that card is a singleton. So, de-clarer was not tempted to try to take three diamond tricks to shed his heart loser.
When West led a club at trick four, East won with his king, then cashed the ace. But he was not sure what
to do next. Should he play a third club, assuming partner started with queen-third or -fourth; or should he return a diamond, assuming West could ruff it; or should he lead a heart, hoping that partner had the ace?
Taking them in order, under the club ace, West should play the jack to deny the queen. If West started with three trumps, why would he have played the king on the second round? So the correct inference is to lead a heart, which, of course, works perfectly. Yes, West might have cashed the heart ace before shifting to clubs, but that was not clear-cut.
BRIDGE
Correct inferences furnish good results

DIVERSIONS
DEAR ABBY: My daughter is 19 and lives with me. She is seeing a 26-year-old man who has a child with another wom-an he didn’t marry.
When my daughter goes out with him, he keeps her out until 3:30 a.m. or later. He has done this twice that I know of. I had a conversation with him, and he assured me he would make sure she is home before midnight, to no avail.
I don’t think he’s good for my daughter. Should I forbid her from seeing him (because she lives in my house) or let her make her own decision? We are NOT going to raise a baby out of wedlock!
TEEN’S DAD
DEAR DAD: Your 19-year-old daughter is considered to be an adult even if she’s not acting like it. Tread carefully because if you forbid her to see this man, she may rebel by moving out and in with him.
You have the right to
make clear to her that un-der no circumstances will you raise a baby out of wedlock, and that if he gets her pregnant, she’ll be on her own. And while you’re at it, point out that her school or job will suffer if she continues the late hours she’s been keeping. “Remind” her that what she’s doing is irresponsible and will keep her from succeeding if she doesn’t straighten up. Then cross your fingers that your daughter will get the mes-sage.
DEAR ABBY: I need ad-vice about my son. He has started doing bicycle training with a coach and some other cyclists, and he likes it a lot. But I contin-ually hear about accidents with bicycles, and every
time he goes, I am fright-ened for him.
My husband was a cy-clist for many years, and he encourages him. I want to do the same, but fear stops me. What must I do? I pray every time he goes and surrender him to God. Is this the right way?
FEARFUL IN NICOSIA, CYPRUS
DEAR FEARFUL: A mother’s primary instinct is to protect her young. The problem is, parents can’t protect their children in every circumstance, and cycling is a mode of trans-portation being promoted everywhere.
It’s a plus that your son is working with a coach, presumably one who un-derstands the hazards and
road conditions in your city. Under the circum-stances, you are doing the best you can and you are doing the right thing. There is no requirement that you “must” encourage your son as his father is doing.
I believe in the power of prayer, and if it makes you feel better, then it is abso-lutely the right thing to do.
DEAR READERS: I’m honored to participate in National Women’s Health Week (May 13-19). Women are the primary caretakers in most societies — includ-ing our own. But in the process we too often forget to take care of ourselves — by eating right, getting enough sleep, controlling our stress levels with regu-lar exercise and schedul-ing regular medical check-ups. Please don’t procrastinate. Start now! National Women’s Health Week is a perfect time to begin. Visit womenshealth.gov/nwhw for more infor-mation.

JERUSALEM — Israel on Sunday kicked off fes-tivities to celebrate the opening of the new U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, even as it bolstered its forc-es along the Gaza border and in the West Bank in anticipation of mass Pales-tinian protests of the move.
A day before the embas-sy’s formal opening, Isra-el hosted a gala party at its Foreign Ministry with President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka, her hus-band, Jared Kushner, and other American VIPs.
Prime Minister Benja-min Netanyahu praised Trump’s “bold decision” in upending decades of U.S. policy by recognizing Je-rusalem as Israel’s capital. “It’s the right thing to do,” a smiling Netanyahu told the jubilant crowd.
Trump announced his decision on Jerusalem in December, triggering a
joyous reaction from Net-anyahu’s nationalist gov-ernment. The move infuri-ated the Palestinians, who claim Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem as their capital.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas halted ties with the Trump ad-ministration and declared it unfit to remain in its role as the sole mediator in peace talks.
The rival Hamas move-ment, which controls the Gaza Strip, has been staging a series of weekly demonstrations against a crippling Israeli-Egyptian blockade of the territory. Those protests are to cli-max Monday, with tens of thousands of people ex-pected to gather along the Israeli border in an event timed to coincide with the U.S. Embassy move.
Hamas has signaled that large crowds, num-bering perhaps in the thousands, might try to break through the border fence to realize the “right
of return” to lost homes.Both the embassy move
and the protests have symbolic timing. Trump has said the opening is meant to coincide with the 70th anniversary of Israel’s establishment. The Palestinian protests also mark the date as the anniversary of their “naq-ba,” or catastrophe, when hundreds of thousands of people fled or were forced from their homes during the war surrounding the event. About two-thirds of Gaza’s 2 million people are descendants of Pales-tinian refugees.
A mass border breach could trigger potentially lethal Israeli force. For-ty-two Palestinians have been killed and over 1,800 have been wounded by Is-raeli fire since the weekly protests began on March 30. The U.N., European Union and rights groups have accused Israel of us-ing excessive force against unarmed protesters.

SAN FRANCISCO — The unwanted were turned away from cafete-ria tables. Fistfights broke out at karaoke. Dances be-came breeding grounds for gossip and cruelty.
It became clear this place had a bullying prob-lem on its hands. What many found surprising was that the perpetrators and victims alike were all senior citizens.
Nursing homes, senior centers and housing com-plexes for the elderly have introduced programs, training and policies aimed at curbing spates of bullying, an issue once thought the exclusive do-main of the young.
“There’s the clique sys-tem just like everywhere else,” said Betsy Gran, who until recently was assis-
tant director at San Fran-cisco’s 30th Street Senior Center. “It’s like ‘Mean Girls,’ but everyone is 80.”
After the cafeteria exiles and karaoke brouhahas, the 30th Street Center teamed up with a local
nonprofit, the Institute on Aging, to develop an an-ti-bullying program. All staff members received 18 hours of training that included lessons on what constitutes bullying, caus-es of the problem and how to manage such conflicts. Seniors were then invit-ed to similar classes, held in English and Spanish, teaching them to alert staff or intervene themselves if they witness bullying. Signs and even place mats around the center now de-clare it a “Bully Free Zone.”
“I think in the past I would have just stayed out of it,” said Mary Murphy, 86, a retired real estate agent who took the classes. “Now I might be inclined to help.”
Robin Bonifas, a social work professor at Arizona State University and au-thor of the book “Bullying Among Older Adults: How to Recognize and Address an Unseen Epidemic,” said existing studies suggest
about 1 in 5 seniors encoun-ters bullying. She sees it as an outgrowth of frustra-tions characteristic in com-munal settings, as well a re-flection of issues unique to getting older. Many elderly see their independence and sense of control disappear and, for some, becoming a bully can feel like regaining some of that lost power.
“It makes them feel very out of control,” Bonifas said, “and the way they sort of get on top of things and make their name in this new world is intimidating, pick-ing on people, gossiping.”
Most senior bullying isn’t physical but rather involves name-calling, rumors and exclusion, said Pamela Countouris, a longtime schoolteacher who now runs a Pittsburgh-based consultancy that offers training on bullying. Wom-en constitute the bulk of the bullies Countouris en-counters among seniors, a reflection of lifespan dis-parities and the gender makeup of those who live at or participate in programs at senior facilities.
After four years im-mersed in the wrath of old-er bullies, Countouris has heard all manner of sto-ries. At a senior high-rise, a woman who saw herself as the queen of the park-ing garage would key the cars of those who crossed her. Elsewhere, laundry
rooms became vicious places where the bullied had their detergent stolen and their clothes thrown on the floor. Bingo rooms so often devolved into battlefields — with lucky newcomers badgered and accused of cheating by vet-eran players — she came to call it “the devil’s game.”
In the worst cases, bully-ing goes far beyond bingo squabbles. Marsha Wetzel moved into a senior apart-ment complex in Niles, Ill., after her partner of 30 years died and her part-ner’s family evicted her from the home the couple shared. At Glen St. An-drew Living Community, she said she was met with relentless bullying by res-idents mostly focused on her being a lesbian.
One man hit Wetzel’s scooter with his walker and unleashed a barrage of ho-mophobic slurs. A woman rammed her wheelchair into Wetzel’s table in the dining room and knocked it over, warning “homosexu-als will burn in hell.” In the mailroom, someone knocked her in the head, and in an elevator, she was spit on.
“I’d just go in my room and barricade my door and just pray,” said Wet-zel, now 70 and living at a senior complex in Chica-go. “I just felt like a slug, like I was nothing, like I wasn’t even human.”
