This is not the worry-free
summer many envisioned as recently as Memorial Day, full of
long-awaited travel, joyous family reunions, and idyllic evenings
in favorite restaurants.
Since July Fourth, there’s
been a steady drumbeat of discouraging COVID-19 news: Infections are climbing rapidly
across the country. Hospitalizations in several Southern and
Western states are spiking, too.
Vaccination rates have dwindled. And communities from
Cambridge to Los Angeles County are advising or mandating a
return to mask-wearing, even
for vaccinated people.
The highly contagious Delta
strain of the virus, estimated to
be responsible for recent outbreaks on Cape Cod and at least
83 percent of cases nationwide,
has cast a long shadow.

Maybe it was the unprecedented floods in
Europe and China that did it. Perhaps it was the
deathly heat dome in the Pacific Northwest, or
the massive wildfires stretching across more
than a million acres of the West.

cord-hot June; the rain-soaked July; the smoketinged skies and eerily orange sun — that made
you wonder if this might be more than a random, rotten run of very bad news. Could this be
climate change?
To put it bluntly, according to climate scientists: Yes, it is.
“We are absolutely seeing the face of climate
change in these extremes,” said Jennifer Francis, a senior scientist at the Woodwell Climate
Research Center.

Barnstable County’s Department
of Human Services. Harik has
been flat out dealing with a postJuly Fourth outbreak in Provincetown that has so far infected at
least 256 people, many of them
vaccinated, from Boston and beyond.
“But now at least,” Harik said,
“we have vaccines.”
Vaccines, say many infectious
disease experts, are a shining
light amid the gathering clouds.
While infections are rising, the
rates of hospitalization and
death in highly vaccinated
states, such as Massachusetts,
are inching upward rather than
skyrocketing.
A study last week in the New
England Journal of Medicine offers fresh hope that vaccines are
holding up well against new
strains of COVID-19. Researchers found that a full two-dose
course of the Pfizer-BioNTech
vaccine, which is widely available in the United States, is almost as effective in preventing
symptomatic disease from the
Delta variant as it is against the
Alpha, previously the most dominant strain in the country.

BRANSON, Mo. — In May 2020, with the pandemic in its early months, Branson looked like a shadow of its former ebullient

“Homes are being invaded,” Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott said at a May press

Tunnel deaths show road risks of climate change

The World
Today

More than 200
cars trapped in
flood; 4 drown

E L S A LVA D O R

By Keith Bradsher
NEW YORK TIMES

Z H E N G Z H O U, C h i n a —
More than 200 cars were caught
in a highway tunnel Tuesday in
central China when record-setting rainfall soaked the area.
Torrents of water poured in the
tunnel’s entrances, nearly filling
it to the ceiling.
The death toll that day probably would have been higher had
it not been for a semiretired special forces commando who
swam back and forth among the
bobbing, colliding vehicles to
rescue drowning drivers as their
cars filled with water and sank.
Authorities are still draining the
tunnel, and have said that at
least four people died.
Initially, international attention to transportation safety
risks from extreme weather focused on drownings in a subway
tunnel that filled with water during the same cloudburst in
Zhengzhou, in central China’s
Henan province. But the highway-tunnel flooding deaths
highlight the risks that climate
change can also pose to motorists, transportation safety experts said this weekend.
Indeed, the deaths show that
road engineers, like subway-system designers, will need to cope
with the more intense rainfalls
associated with climate change,
said Kara M. Kockelman, a
transportation engineering professor at the University of Texas
at Austin.
A highway tunnel “can really
fill like a bathtub in some of

KEITH BRADSHER/NEW YORK TIMES

Tubes emptied a flooded highway tunnel as a tow truck removed abandoned vehicles Friday.
these rainstorms,” she said, “and
it’s just going to get worse due to
the climate catastrophe.”
In 2011, a group of Chinese
experts published a technical paper pointing out that the Zhengzhou tunnel, which was still being built, was in a low-lying area
where ponds of stagnant water
frequently formed in the streets.
The tunnel opened in 2012.
It was built with a pumping
system designed to handle as
much rain as would fall once every 50 years. But authorities
have since described the deluge
Tuesday as, in theory, a once-inat-least-1,000 years event.
The municipal government
of Zhengzhou, the provincial
capital, said Saturday that an-

other body had been found in
the subway tunnel, bringing the
official death toll from the subway flooding to 13. Overall, the
provincial death toll from the
flooding rose to 58, and five people have been recorded as missing.
While bright sunshine Saturday dried the streets of Zhengzhou, many communities in
northern Henan province continued to face high water. “Some
villages are besieged by floods
and need to evacuate a large
number of people,” Guo Huajie,
the chief engineer of the Henan
Fire and Rescue Corps, said at a
government news conference
Saturday.
The highway-tunnel debacle

could easily have been much
worse, as 200 to 300 cars were
stranded by the fast-rising waters.
But a man in a white shirt,
who was filmed by onlookers as
he swam confidently among the
sinking cars Tuesday, pulled motorists to safety. He was identified by local media and by his
employer late Friday as Yang
Junkui, a former People’s Liberation Army commando.
Yang, 45, told Shanghai news
organizations that he had received automated cellphone
warnings of heavy rain from the
government and from his employer early Tuesday afternoon,
so he began heading home from
work as a driver for Caocao, a

ride-hailing company like Uber.
He was driving through the
tunnel when it began to fill with
water and traffic stopped, and
left his own car as the water
reached the axles, just before
cars around his began floating.
He started knocking on the
doors of other drivers, telling
them to exit their vehicles, and
led them to safety.
Three women who apparently did not know how to swim
were abandoned nearby on the
roof of a car that sank, as two
men left them and moved to
safety. Yang jumped back in the
water and pulled the women
out, one by one. He then tried,
unsuccessfully, to save other motorists, but retreated after hurting his leg.
“I did not hesitate, nor was I
afraid, but after I reached the
side, I felt a bit scared,” he said to
Jiemian, a Shanghai news organization.
Kockelman, of the University
of Texas, said that any investigation of what went wrong in
Zhengzhou would need to examine whether the exit point for the
pumps had become submerged.
That could cause the flow of water through the pumps to reverse
direction and fill the tunnel.
Local authorities have struggled to remove water from the
highway tunnel. On Friday afternoon, they were operating a pair
of pumps nearly the size of commercial jet engines attached to
bright red, fire-engine-size suction trucks at the tunnel’s south
end. But the muddy water was
still deep enough in the tunnel
that only the roof of a white car
inside was visible.
As for Yang, Caocao gave him
a new, $25,000 electric minivan
Friday night.

Residents of flood-hit Germany tell of short lead time
By Frank Jordans
ASSOCIATED PRESS

AHRWEILER, Germany —
Like other residents of his town
in Germany, Wolfgang Huste
knew a flood was coming. What
nobody told him, he says, was
how bad it would be.
The 66-year-old antiquarian
bookseller in Ahrweiler said the
first serious warning to evacuate
or move to higher floors of buildings close to the Ahr River came
through loudspeaker announcements at around 8 p.m. on July
14. Huste then heard a short
e m e r ge n c y s i r e n b l a s t a n d
church bells ring, followed by silence.
“It was spooky, like in a horror film,” he said.
Huste rushed to rescue his
car from an underground garage. By the time he parked it on
the street, the water stood knee
height. Five minutes later, safely
indoors, he saw his vehicle floating down the street. He would
learn later that he also lost books
dating back to the early 1500s,
estimating his total losses at
more than $235,000.
“The warning time was far

A man used a wheelbarrow to move debris through the
streets of the flood-hit town of Ahrweiler, Germany, Friday.
too short,” Huste said.
With the confirmed death toll
from this month’s floods in Germany and neighboring countries
passing 210 on Friday and the
economic cost expected to run
into the billions, others in Germany have asked why the emergency systems designed to warn
people of the impending disaster
didn’t work.
Sirens in some towns failed
when the electricity was cut. In

other locations, there were no sirens at all; volunteer firefighters
had to go knocking on people’s
doors to tell them what to do.
Huste acknowledged that few
could have predicted the speed
with which the water would rise.
But he pointed across the valley
to a building that houses Germany’s Federal Office for Civil Protection, where first responders
from across the country train for
possible disasters.

“In practice, as we just saw, it
didn’t work, let’s say, as well as it
should,” Huste said. “What the
state should have done, it didn’t
do. At least not until much later,”
he said.
Local officials who were responsible for triggering disaster
alarms on the first night of flooding have kept a low profile in the
days since the deluge. At least
132 people died in the Ahr valley
alone.
Authorities in Rhineland-Palatinate state took charge of the
disaster response in the wake of
the floods, but they declined Friday to comment on what mistakes might have been made on
the night disaster struck.
“People are looking at a life in
ruins here. Some have lost relatives, there were many dead,”
said Thomas Linnertz, the state
official now coordinating the disaster response. “I can understand the anger very well. But on
the other hand, I have to say
again: This was an event that nobody could have predicted.”
The head of Germany’s federal disaster agency BKK, Armin
Schuster, acknowledged to pub-

lic broadcaster ARD last week
that “things didn’t work as well
as they could have.”
His agency is trying to determine how many sirens were removed after the end of the Cold
War, and the country plans to
adopt a system that can send
alerts to all cellphones in a particular area.
In the town of Sinzig, resident Heiko Lemke recalled how
firefighters came knocking on
doors at 2 a.m., long after the
floods had caused severe damage upriver in Ahrweiler.
Despite a flood in 2016, nobody had expected the waters of
the Ahr to rise as high as they
did in his community, Lemke
said.
“They were evacuating people,” he said. “We were totally
confused because we thought
that wasn’t possible.”
Within 20 minutes the water
had flooded the ground floor of
his family's house, but they decided it was too dangerous to
venture out, he said.
“We wouldn’t have managed
to make it around the corner,”
said his wife, Daniela Lemke.

Spain’s commitment to Jewish reparations questioned
By Nicholas Casey
NEW YORK TIMES

MADRID — María Sánchez, a
retired mental health therapist
in Albuquerque, spent the past
four decades tracing her Jewish
ancestry from Spain. She created
a genealogical chart going back
nearly 1,100 years, which included three ancestors who were
tried in the Spanish Inquisition.
Her findings even led her to join
a synagogue in the 1980s and to
become a practicing Jew.
So when Spain’s government
said in 2015 that it would grant
citizenship to people of Sephardic Jewish descent — a program publicized as reparations
for the expulsion of Jews that began in 1492 — Sánchez applied.
She hired an immigration lawyer, obtained a certificate from
her synagogue, and flew to Spain
to present her genealogy chart to
a notary. Then, in May, she received a rejection letter.
“It felt like a punch in the
gut,” said Sánchez, 60, who was
told she had not proved that she
w a s a S e p h a r d i c Je w. “ Yo u
kicked my ancestors out; now
you’re doing this again.”
Spain’s statistics and interviews with frustrated applicants
reveal a wave of more than 3,000
rejections in recent months,

raising questions about how serious the country is about its
promise of reparations to correct
one of the darkest chapters of its
history, the Inquisition. Before
this year, only one person had
been turned down, the government said. Some 34,000 have
been accepted.
At least another 17,000 people have received no response at
all, according to government statistics. Many of them have waited years and spent thousands of
dollars on attorney fees and trips
to Spain to file paperwork.
It remains unclear why the
wave of rejections has come
now. Spain’s government said it
was simply trying to clear out a
backlog of cases. But lawyers
representing applicants say they
feel that officials have had a
change of heart on the program,
which formally stopped taking
applications in 2019.
The rejections have angered
officials in Washington, including Representative Teresa Leger
Fernández, a New Mexico Democrat, who said she raised the issue both with the White House
and the State Department after
receiving complaints from applicants in her district.
“Their refusal is worse than if
they didn’t offer citizenship in

María Sánchez was one of
many whose reparations
applications were denied.
the first place,” Fernández said
of Spain. “This is an example of
how you don’t do reparations.”
In a statement, Spain’s Justice Ministry, which is in charge
of the applications, said it had
done its best to follow Spanish
law and it was natural it would
have to turn down many cases.
Those who had met the requirements “are welcome again
to their country, but . . . those
who don’t meet the requirements will see that their application is rejected just like they
would be in any other process.”
The program began in 2015,

when Spain’s Parliament unanimously approved a law that
would grant citizenship to anyone who could show that they
had a single Jewish ancestor
who had been expelled during
the Inquisition. Applicants need
not be Jewish, the government
said, and were not required to
give up their current citizenship
— but they would be asked to
demonstrate that they could
speak Spanish and pass a citizenship test.
“This law says a lot about
what we were in the past, what
we are today, and what we want
to continue to be in the future —
an open, diverse, and tolerant
Spain,” said Rafael Catalá, Spanish justice minister at the time.
Spain was once home to one
of Europe’s most thriving Jewish
communities, which for centuries produced major poets, historians, and philosophers. Sephardic Jews, or Sephardim, who
originated from communities on
the Iberian Peninsula, are one of
the two Jewish ethnic divisions
of Europe, along with the Ashkenazim, who thrived in Northern
and Eastern Europe until their
devastation by the Nazis.
In 1492, Spain’s rulers, urged
on by the Roman Catholic
Church, gave the Spanish Jewish

community an ultimatum: Convert to Catholicism or leave.
Those who left fled as far as
the Middle East, the Caribbean,
and parts of what would eventually become the United States.
The Sephardic Jews, as they became known, held on to their
traditions in some lands and hid
them in others, passing them
down to generations who were
raised as Catholics.
César David Ciriano, an immigration lawyer in the city of
Zaragoza, said until this year, it
was almost unheard of for applications to be denied after submission to the government.
This was because Spanish notaries acted as gatekeepers, approving an applicant’s Jewish
heritage certificates, genealogy
chart, and other documents before an application was formally
submitted. Government officials
were not allowed to overrule the
notary’s decision, Ciriano said.
However, this year, officials
began second-guessing the notary’s approvals, he said.
“This is the first time I’ve
seen such illegal behavior from
the government,” Ciriano said.
The Spanish government in
its statement said it had followed the law in enforcing the
citizenship decisions.

Church’s finances
beat expectations
The Vatican closed out 2020
with a deficit of 66.3 million euros ($78 million), which was
better than projected and even
lower than pre-pandemic 2019,
according to figures released
Saturday. The Vatican’s economy
minister, the Rev. Juan Antonio
Guerrero Alves, credited lower
spending and a milder-than-expected drop in revenues for the
results. The shortfall was narrower than the range forecast by
the Vatican, which was between
68 million euros and 146 million
euros. It was also lower than the
79.2 million euro deficit recorded in 2019. Guerrero said the
Vatican cut expenses in the face
of the pandemic, focusing on essentials like salaries and aid to
churches in difficulty and the
poor. Taxes remained a constant
18.8 million euros. Donations
rose slightly to 56.2 million euros. Even so, Guerrero noted
that the Peter’s Pence donations,
offered during an annual collection at Mass, fell 18 percent in
2020. They are billed as a concrete way to help the pope in his
works of charity but are also
used to run the Holy See bureaucracy. (AP)

A grandfather died
in ‘swatting’ over
his Twitter handle
20-year-old man
to serve 5 years
for address leak
By Maria Cramer
NEW YORK TIMES

Mark Herring was at home in
Bethpage, Tenn., one night in
April 2020 when the police
swarmed his house.
Someone with a British accent had called emergency services in Sumner County and reported having shot a woman in
the back of the head at Herring’s
address. The caller had threatened to set off pipe bombs at the
front and back doors if officers
came, according to federal court
records.
When the police arrived, they
drew their guns and told Herring, a 60-year-old computer
programmer and grandfather of
six, to come out and keep his
hands visible.
As he walked out, he lost his
balance and fell. He was pronounced dead that same night at
a nearby hospital. The cause of
death was a heart attack, according to court records.
Herring had been a victim of
“swatting,” the act of reporting a
fake crime in order to provoke a
heavily armed response from the
police.
The caller was a minor living
in the United Kingdom, according to federal prosecutors. But
the caller knew Herring’s address because Shane Sonderman, 20, of Lauderdale County,
Tenn., had posted the information online, prosecutors said.
On Wednesday, Sonderman
was sentenced to five years in
prison after he pleaded guilty to
one count of conspiracy.
“The defendant was part of a
chain of events,” federal prosecutors said in court documents.
The police “arrived prepared to
take on a life and death situation,” prosecutors said. “Mr. Herring died of a heart attack at
gunpoint.”
Sonderman’s lawyer, Bryan
Huffman, said he had argued for
a lesser sentence but believed
five years “was fair in light of
Shane’s culpability.”
“ Mr. S o n d e r m a n h a s e x pressed his remorse on multiple
occasions. He has expressed his
regret regarding Mr. Herring’s
death,” Huffman said in an email Saturday. “Mr. Sonderman’s
family had also expressed their
remorse. There are many families affected by Shane’s actions,
including his own family.”
Herring was targeted because
he refused to sell his Twitter
handle, @Tennessee, according
to his family and prosecutors.
Smart, blunt, and plain-spoken, Herring had loved computers since he was a teenager and
joined Twitter in March 2007,
less than a year after it started,
his family said.
He knew people wanted his
handle, which he chose because
of his love for the state, where he
had been born and raised, and
had rebuffed offers of $3,000 to
$4,000 to sell it, his daughter
Corinna Fitch, 37, said in an interview.
“He would laugh it off and
say, ‘I’m not selling that,’” she
said.
The last time Herring was
with his three daughters and
their families was a month before his death, at a Sunday dinner hosted by his ex-wife, Fran
Herring, who had remained
friends with him.
Herring often came over
when she was taking care of the
grandchildren and would help
bathe them and put them to bed.
“The kids called him Graggie,” because they could not say
“granddaddy,” Fitch said.
He called the hours he spent
with his grandchildren “Graggie
time.”
“That was his most precious
time,” Fitch said.
Mark Herring was among at
least a half-dozen people who
were targeted by Sonderman
and “co-conspirators,” who created fake online accounts to find
social media users with catchy
names, prosecutors said. Sonderman and his co-conspirators
would then contact the holders
of those names and ask them to
give them up so they could sell
them.
If they refused, “Sonderman
and his co-conspirators would

bombard the owner with repeated phone calls and text messages
in a campaign of harassment,”
prosecutors said.
They’d have food delivered at
the person’s house or report fires
at their homes, according to
court documents.
“Gonna need the instagram
account … or i will continue to
swat and harass you and your
family,” Sonderman or one of his
co-conspirators wrote in March
2020, according to court documents.
On April 27, 2020, Sonderman posted the names and addresses of Herring and his family
members on Discord, a texting
and talking app. That night, a
minor in the United Kingdom
made a call falsely reporting a
murder at Herring’s address. (In
a statement, Discord said the
company has “zero-tolerance for
illegal activity on our service, including cases like this that involve swatting, and have invested in dedicated resources to
combat these forms of abuse.”)
When the police responded
to the false report, they ordered
Herring to climb over the tall
cattle gate around his property,
according to his family. He offered to open the gate door, but
they refused to let him do so,
probably because they feared a
bomb would go off, said Herring’s son-in-law Greg Hooge.

Mark Herring, 60, died of a
heart attack in April during
a “swatting” incident.
of about a foot above the ground,
Hooge said.
He collapsed soon after he
stood back up, Hooge said. Herring’s relatives said they had
asked for copies of police reports
and any body-camera footage
taken by the authorities on the
night of April 27. They said
those requests had been denied.
In a statement, Joseph Murphy Jr., acting US attorney for
the Western District of Tennessee, said his office would continue to investigate swatting episodes.
“Our office views ‘swatting’ as
serious criminal conduct,” Murphy said. “It needlessly and dangerously ties up first responder
resources and disrupts the lives
of the victims and others.”
After he pleaded guilty
March 22, Sonderman continued to “conspire with others to
harass people online in order to
obtain control of their social media handles,” federal prosecutors
said in court records. They did
not provide more details and declined to say whether the minor
in the United Kingdom could be
extradited to face charges in Tennessee.
In a sentencing memorandum, Huffman said Sonderman
had no criminal history before
his arrest but came from an unstable environment and has a
family with a “history of severe
mental illness.’’
Sonderman also struggled
with mental illness, and his father killed himself two weeks after Sonderman turned 18, Huffman wrote.
Since Herring’s death, other
victims of swatting have reached
out to Herring’s family to describe how they have been similarly harassed. Herring’s relatives said they wanted tougher
laws against swatting and more
training for police agencies on
how to recognize potential fake
calls.
“ This is going to happen
again,” said Herring’s daughter
Casey Monroe, 34.
Fran Herring said she hoped
the tragedy would force parents
to monitor more closely what
their children do online.
“You really, really don’t know
what they’re doing,” she said.

‘Dating Game
Killer’ dies at 77

NOAH BERGER/ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Dixie Fire continued to burn in rugged and remote terrain on Friday, as firefighters
including Jesse Forbes fought the growing blaze in Plumas County, Calif.

SACRAMENTO — A prolific serial torture-slayer dubbed “The
Dating Game Killer” died Saturday while awaiting execution in
California, authorities said. Rodney James Alcala was 77. He
died of natural causes at a hospital in San Joaquin Valley, Calif.,
prison officials said in a statement. Alcala was sentenced to
death in 2010 for five slayings in
California between 1977 and
1979, including that of a 12year-old girl, though authorities
estimate he may have killed up
to 130 people across the country.
Alcala received an additional 25
years to life in 2013 after pleading guilty to two homicides in
New York. Alcala had appeared
on TV’s “The Dating Game” in
1978. (AP)

Wildfires blazing out West
draw states to lend support
By Nathan Howard
ASSOCIATED PRESS

BLY, Ore. — Out-of-state
crews headed to Montana on
Saturday to battle a blaze that injured five firefighters as the West
struggled with a series of fires
that have ravaged rural lands
and destroyed homes.
Progress was being made on
the nation’s largest blaze, the
Bootleg Fire in Oregon, but additional mandatory evacuations
were ordered Friday evening
and less than half of it had been
contained, fire officials said. The
growth of the sprawling fire had
slowed, but increased fire activity had been expected Saturday,
and thousands of homes remained threatened on its eastern side, authorities said.
“This fire is resistant to stopping at dozer lines,” Oregon Department of Forestry officials
said Saturday in a news release.
“With the critically dry weather
and fuels we are experiencing,
firefighters are having to constantly reevaluate their control
lines and look for contingency
options.”
In C a l i f o r n i a , G o v e r n o r
Gavin Newsom on Friday proclaimed a state of emergency for
four northern counties because
of wildfires that he said were
causing “conditions of extreme
peril to the safety of persons and

property.” The proclamation
opens the way for more state
support.
On Saturday, fire crews from
California and Utah were coming to Montana, Governor Greg
Gianforte announced. Five firefighters were injured Thursday
when swirling winds blew
flames back on them as they
worked on the Devil’s Creek fire
burning in rough, steep terrain
near the rural town of Jordan.
They remained hospitalized
Friday. Bureau of Land Management spokesperson Mark Jacobsen declined to release the extent
of their injuries.
The firefighters included
three US Fish and Wildlife Service crew members from North
Dakota and two US Forest Service firefighters from New Mexico.
In California, the Tamarack
Fire south of Lake Tahoe continued to burn through timber and
chaparral and threatened communities on both sides of the
California-Nevada state line. The
fire, sparked by lightning July 4
in Alpine County, has destroyed
at least 10 buildings.
In Butte County, California,
the Dixie Fire continued to burn
in rugged and remote terrain,
hampering firefighters’ efforts to
contain the blaze as it grows
eastward, becoming the state’s

largest wildfire so far this year.
Heavy smoke from both huge
fires lowered visibility and may
at times ground aircraft providing support for fire crews on the
ground. The air quality south of
Lake Tahoe and across the state
line into Nevada deteriorated to
very unhealthy levels.
In north-central Washington,
firefighters battled two blazes in
Okanogan County that threatened hundreds of homes and
again caused hazardous air quality conditions Saturday.
And in northern Idaho, east
of Spokane, Wash., a small fire
near the Silverwood Theme Park
prompted evacuations Friday
evening at the park and in the
surrounding area.
Although hot weather with
afternoon winds posed a continued threat of spreading blazes,
weekend forecasts also called for
a chance of scattered thunderstorms in California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and other states.
However, forecasters said some
could be dry thunderstorms that
produce little rain but a lot of
lightning, which can spark new
blazes.
More than 85 large wildfires
were burning around the country, most of them in Western
states, and they had burned over
1.4 million acres (2,135 square
miles) of land.

US to announce drawdown in
Iraq, but little likely to change
By Jane Arraf
and Eric Schmitt
NEW YORK TIMES

BAGHDAD — Iraq’s prime
minister is heading to Washington this weekend to demand
that President Joe Biden withdraw all US combat troops from
Iraq, announcing to Iraqi media
that the visit would “put an end
to the presence of combat forces.”
US officials say the United
States is likely to oblige the request from Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi, setting a deadline to be announced Monday
for the withdrawal of US combat
forces by the end of the year.
Pentagon and other administration officials say they will
achieve this by removing a small
but unspecified number of the
2,500 US forces stationed in Iraq
and by reclassifying on paper the
roles of other forces. Al-Kadhimi
will have a political trophy to
take home to satisfy anti-American factions in Iraq, and the US
military presence will remain.
“There will be no US military
forces in a combat role by the
end of the year,” said a senior US
official familiar with ongoing
discussions. “ We anticipate
some force adjustments in line
with that commitment.”
What appears to be a se t
piece of diplomatic theater is the
latest effort by al-Kadhimi to
tread between the needs and demands of Iraq’s two closest allies, the United States and Iran.
Pro-Iranian factions have been
clamoring for a US departure,
while Iraqi officials acknowledge
they still need the help of US
forces.
The Biden administration in

turn is grappling with how to operate in a country that, since the
US invasion 18 years ago, has
fallen increasingly under the
grip of Iranian-backed militias
and a corrupt political system
that has brought Iraq’s government institutions to the brink of
collapse.
Al-Kadhimi’s government,
along with many senior Iraqi
military officials, quietly favor
the roughly 2,500 US troops in
Iraq staying in their current
form. But the killing of General
Qassem Soleimani, Iran’s top security and intelligence commander, along with a senior
Iraqi security official and eight
others in a US drone strike in
2020, has made the United
States’ current presence politically impossible, and politically
undesirable in the United States.
After the US drone strike, Iraq’s
Parliament demanded the government expel US forces — a motion that was nonbinding but
sent a strong message to any politician who wanted to stay in
power, including the prime minister.
Grappling with the coronavirus pandemic, a budget crisis,
and powerful Iranian-backed
militias largely beyond his control, al-Kadhimi has accomplished little since taking office
two years ago. His advisers argue that if only he were given
more time, he could rein in the
militias, cut corruption, and arrest more killers of hundreds of
unarmed protesters and activists.
Most of Iraq’s paramilitary
units were formed in 2014 in response to a call by the country’s
most revered Shiite cleric for

Iraqis to mobilize against the Islamic State group. Those militias
were later absorbed into Iraq’s
official security forces, but the
most powerful are tied to Iran
and only nominally under control of the Iraqi state.
The United States has repeatedly blamed Iranian-backed militias for the persistent attacks
on US targets in Iraq. The United States and many Iraqi officials believe the militias are also
responsible for most of the assassinations of activists and for a
wide range of illegal moneymaking schemes.
Even after President Obama
withdrew troops from Iraq in
2011, some remained, under the
authority of the US Embassy in
Baghdad. Three years later, with
Islamic State group fighters capturing territory across much of
Iraq and Syria, the Iraqi government requested US military support to help fight the terrorist
group.
Since the Islamic State group
was driven from its last Iraqi
stronghold in 2017, US officials
have consistently maintained
that since there are currently no
combat operations authorized in
Iraq, there are no combat troops
in the countr y. But they acknowledge there are a small
number of US Special Operations Forces serving as advisers,
and trainers occasionally accompany Iraqi counterterrorism
forces on combat missions.
In Washington on Friday,
Pentagon officials said they expected the troop levels in Iraq to
remain at their current level of
about 2,500 and that the role of
some US forces would be redefined.

Alleged plotter held
on judge’s order
CINCINNATI — A judge has ordered a man accused of planning to kill sorority members at
an Ohio university to remain behind bars. Magistrate Judge
Stephanie Bowman on Friday
cited a parole violation and the
“serious nature of the charges’’
as reasons to keep 21-year-old
Tres Genco in custody. Federal
prosecutors said earlier that
Genco identifies himself as an
“incel” — involuntary celibate —
and has interacted with an online community of mostly men
who advocate for violence
against women because they believe they are unjustly denied
sexual or romantic attention.
Prosecutors allege that Genco
conducted surveillance at an
Ohio university in January 2020,
described a document he wrote
as “the writings of the deluded
and homicidal” and signed it
“Your hopeful friend and murderer.” (AP)

ALABAMA

Officer convicted of
murder resigns
HUNTSVILLE — An Alabama
police officer who remained on
his city’s payroll for two months
after being convicted of murder
has resigned from the Huntsville
Police Department. Officer William Darby left of his own accord, the city told WAAY-TV on
Friday. Darby has been on paid
leave since his May 7 conviction
for shooting a suicidal man who
was holding a gun to his own
head. The city said placing Darby on paid leave was normal until its personnel policies and procedures could be completed.
Huntsville’s Republican mayor
and police chief publicly disagreed with the jury’s murder
verdict. A lawyer for the family
of victim Jeffery Parker said allowing Darby to resign instead
of being terminated either immediately after the 2018 killing
or after his murder conviction
was “a bizarre and unnecessary
distraction.” (AP)

NEW YORK

Defaced Floyd
statue cleaned
A statue of George Floyd that
was defaced in Brooklyn has
been cleaned and is headed for
Manhattan’s Union Square. The
artwork was unveiled on the Juneteenth holiday in a spot on
Flatbush Avenue. Five days later
on June 24, it was vandalized
with black paint and marked
with the logo of a white supremacist group. But members of the
group that installed the statue
painstakingly cleaned it, and local residents and one of Floyd’s
brothers gathered around it this
week to bid farewell ahead of its
long-planned move to Union
Square as part of an exhibition
in September. “I heard the news
about the vandalism. I was so
proud that I got word that Flatbush held it down. They really
supported us, looked out for the
statue, looked out for the spirit
of my brother,” Terrence Floyd
said at the gathering. He added
to news reporters: “You try to
stop us, but you can’t stop us.
And we still gonna continue,
with love.” Andrew Cohen of
Confront Art, the group behind
the statue, said people spent
hours cleaning off the paint with
toothbrushes and hands. (AP)

It was a usual Wednesday for
Tonee Valentine, a professional
piano player at Terminal A of
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
Valentine’s hands slid across
the keys, his black brimmed hat
bobbing. Amid the noisy and
chaotic travel hub, the pianist
provided rhythm.
Author and motivational
speaker Carlos Whittaker, on an
hourlong layover to Nashville,
noticed. He saw the pianist
“playing his heart out,” opened
Instagram, and began recording.
Whittaker, with a following of
more than 170,000, panned to
the meager contents of the blue
tip bowl atop the piano and went
up to give money. That’s when
the two struck up a conversation, Whittaker asking if the pianist would participate in his
podcast “Human Hope.”
“He asked me: Do I have
hope in humanity?” Valentine
told The Washington Post. “And
I told him no. I didn’t see it.”
“Of course, that changed,”
Valentine added.
Within minutes, Whittaker’s
following and strangers began
sending money through cash
apps, contributing more than
$10,000 in a half-hour and
$61,000 in two days. Messages
flooded in, people sending their
appreciation of Valentine’s talent
and passion.
But Valentine, at first, didn’t
know. Before he left to catch his
flight, Whittaker revealed that
humanity took notice of Valentine.
Since, the 66-year-old musician has gained more than
10,000 followers on Instagram
and has become a destination
for fans flying into the airport.
“This guy, Carlos Whittaker,
blew into my life like a tsunami,”
Valentine said. “I was having a
typical day at work, and now,
I’ve been blessed by this man
and his followers.”
Whittaker was also caught off

guard: He wasn’t expecting Valentine’s backstory.
When Whittaker started talking to him, Valentine shared that
he received nightly dialysis treatment for kidney disease. Despite
the hours spent hooked to an IV,
the man told the Instagram star
that he had it much better than
others.
“He’s just so happy and joyful,” Whittaker told The Post.
‘‘It’s just his energy is very impactful.’’
Unbeknownst to Valentine,
Whittaker told his tens of thousands of followers to send money. While Valentine resumed his
performance, Whittaker’s phone
started ringing with Venmo notifications like a slot machine.
About half an hour later, Valentine returned to his table,
where Whittaker filmed his reaction to the fortunate news.
“They just deposited
$10,000,” Whittaker said.
Valentine, confused, asked:
“Who’s they?”
“One hundred and seventy
thousand strangers that loved
your piano playing,” Whittaker
explained. “I asked them to give
you money, and in 35 minutes —
because you’re a great human
being, and you’re changing people’s lives when you do this, and
you’re so sincere, and people
love you — I got it in my Venmo.”
“Come on, man,” Valentine
repeated in shock. “Are you kidding me, man?”
T his is not the first time
Whittaker’s followers, which he
calls his ‘‘Instafamilia,’’ have contributed to helping others:
T he y ’ ve funded a pregnant
woman living in an RV, a woman
with epilepsy who wanted a seizure alert dog, and lodging for
inner-city Brooklyn children
camping in Alaska’s wilderness,
Whittaker said.
Inspired by the generosity of
Whittaker’s online family, Valentine said he intends to pay the
money forward instead — although he said he was considering getting his car’s oil changed.

So, how does one become an
airport pianist?
Valentine could play the piano since he was 5, realizing he
was going to be a professional
player when he saw singer and
songwriter Ray Charles perform.
At 20, he got his first gig at a
nightclub — paying $22. Eleven
years and 87 countries later, Valentine had traveled the world as
a pianist on cruise ships, he said,
returning to playing at a local
restaurant. That’s when a man
approached him with an offer:
There was an opening at the airport. Valentine declined, but the
man asked him to try it out for
an hour.
‘‘I tried it for an hour, but I
stayed for three,’’ he said. ‘‘I was
having such a good time, 13
years later, I’m still there.’’
At the airport, the audience
‘‘is in a good mind-set,’’ Valentine said. ‘‘They’re going to see
loved ones, they’re going on a
business trip, they’re going on
vacation,’’ he said.
For the number of travelers
awestruck by the music, Valentine has a box in his bedroom
full of notes from people thanking him for his performances at
the airport. His set changes depending on his crowd, transitioning between oldies and modern hits with ease. When a child
toddles by, Valentine switches to
‘‘Baby Shark.’’
‘‘If you need some classical, I
got that,’’ he said. ‘‘If you need
some gospel, I can do that too. If
you need something to shake
your booty at, I got you, too.’’
For 16 hours a week, Valentine hopes to share some melody
in a place that, for some, can feel
inharmonious. Whether it’s an
Instagram audience of hundreds
of thousands or a weary passenger grabbing a bite between
flights, Valentine plays.
‘‘Some people are listening,
some people aren’t,’’ he said.
‘‘But for me, it’s not a big deal,
because I enjoy playing the music. I play for one person like I
play for 300. It doesn’t matter.’’

Biden’s antitrust team gears up for battle
Pro-competition
stance clashes
with industry
By Jim Tankersley
and Cecilia Kang
NEW YORK TIMES

WASHINGTON — President
Biden has assembled the most
aggressive antitrust team in decades, stacking his administration with three legal crusaders as
it prepares to take on corporate
consolidation and market power
with efforts that could include
blocking mergers and breaking
up big companies.
Biden’s recent decision to
name Jonathan Kanter to lead
the Justice Department’s antitrust division is the latest sign of
his willingness to clash with corporate America to promote more
competition in the tech industry
and across the economy. Kanter
has spent years as a lawyer fighting behemoths such as Facebook
and Google on behalf of rival
companies.
If confirmed by the Senate,
he will join Lina Khan, who
helped reframe the academic debate over antitrust and now
leads the Federal Trade Commission, and Tim Wu, a longtime
proponent of breaking up Facebook and other large companies
who is now the special assistant
to the president for technology
and competition policy.
The appointments show both
the Democratic Party’s renewed
antitrust activism and the Biden
administration’s growing concern that the concentration of
power in technology, as well as
other industries such as pharmaceuticals, agriculture, health
care, and finance, has hurt consumers and workers and stunted
economic growth.
They also underscore that
Biden is willing to use the power
of his office and not wait for the
tougher grind of congressional
action, an approach that is both
faster and potentially riskier.
This month, he issued an executive order stuffed with 72 initiatives meant to stoke competition

STEFANI REYNOLDS/THE NEW YORK TIMES

Biden’s picks for the Justice Department add to the federal
regulators who have called for breaking up large companies.
in a variety of industries, increase scrutiny of mergers, and
restrict the widespread practice
of forcing workers to sign noncompete agreements.
Outside groups and ideological allies of the administration
warn that if Biden hopes to truly
follow in the footsteps of his antitrust idols, Presidents Theodore
R o o s e v e l t a n d Fra n k l i n
Roosevelt, he will need to push
for sweeping legislation to grant
new powers to federal regulators,
particularly in the tech sector.
The core federal antitrust laws,
which were written more than a
century ago, did not envision the
kind of commerce that exists today, where big companies may
offer customers low prices but at
the expense of competition.
The administration has quietly supported legislation working its way through the House,
but it has not yet sought to lead a
congressional antitrust push in
the way Biden has on infrastructure, child care, and other components of his $4 trillion economic agenda.
That could prove problematic
if judges continue to strike down
actions by the Justice Department, the FTC, or other agencies. Last month, a federal judge
threw out an FTC suit against
Facebook, saying the agency had
not made a persuasive argument
that the company is a monopoly
and directing it to better justify
its claims. Khan faces her first

big test when she refiles that
lawsuit, and on Friday the agency asked the court for more time.
Biden’s antitrust picks have
argued that Facebook, Google,
and Amazon have monopoly
power and have used their dominant positions in social media,
search, and online retail to
squash competitors, leaving consumers with fewer options, even
if that doesn’t result in higher
costs.
The companies and some
economists disagree. Facebook
points to TikTok, Snap, and
Twitter as examples of competitors, and Amazon argues it has
just 5 percent of all retail sales in
the United States, despite an
eMarketer research study showing that 40 percent of all online
retail sales occur on its platform.
Biden and his aides have cast
his embrace of a “trustbuster”
mentality as a crucial step toward rebalancing the economy
not only to drive down prices but
to fuel more competition and
create high-paying jobs.
Corporate America is already
fighting Biden’s efforts. Google,
Facebook, and Amazon have
filled their legal teams with antitrust experts, hiring veteran government antitrust officials in recent years. Facebook and Amazon have petitioned for Khan’s
recusal from antitrust matters
related to their companies. They
say Khan, who worked on a
House antitrust investigation of

digital platforms, comes with
prejudgments about their corporations. Critics of Kanter, a private antitrust lawyer, point to his
past representation of Microsoft
and News Corp as conflicts of interest as the Justice Department
wages its court battle against
Google.
Biden’s moves reflect the
growing influence of a movement to restrain corporate power that has spread from progressive scholars and liberal leaders
such as Senator Elizabeth Warren, Democrat of Massachusetts,
to some of the most conservative
Republicans in Congress.
Thomas Philippon, an economist at New York University,
concluded in 2019 that rising
market concentration had hurt
the US economy and cost the
typical American $5,000 a year.
Administration officials repeatedly cite that statistic to support
Biden’s recent executive order.
Cracking down on market
concentration and working to
promote competition “can make
an enormous difference in the
lives of millions of people in this
country,” Bharat Ramamurti, a
deputy director of Biden’s National Economic Council and a
former aide to Warren, said in
an interview.
Ramamurti cited potential
benefits not just from breaking
up companies but from helping
consumers have more and
cheaper choices for checking accounts, allowing hearing aids to
be sold without a prescription,
and more.
The approach contrasts
sharply with the view of regulators during the Obama administration.
The number of merged hospitals quadrupled during President Obama’s first term, leaving
millions of patients with fewer
choices and higher prices for
medical care.
Biden has directed regulators
to consider a harder line against
corporate consolidation in hospitals, health insurance, meat
processing, and tech, which
could include revisiting past
mergers that were approved.

Heat, fires, floods offer hint of what the future holds
uCLIMATE

Continued from Page A1

have been there for years — in
the shrinking sea ice, and the
crisis unfolding in low-lying island nations. But what is in full
view now, in a way that it hasn’t
been before, is that extreme
weather events reliably traced to
climate change are happening
with more frequency, more severity, and more damage to human life and property. And it’s
going to get worse.
Some of the events of this
summer have surprised even the
climate experts, whose models
do a good job of projecting what
to expect on a warming planet,
but not with the granularity to
predict exactly when or where
things could go horribly wrong.
Which means that as the world
continues to warm, these kinds
of catastrophes could happen
anywhere — including New England.
“Everybody is feeling it one
way or another, whether or not
the extreme event is in their own
backyard,” said Francis. “It’s just
everywhere you look.”
As your climate-denying
neighbor might remind you,
rainy summer days have always
happened, and so have heat
waves. But what ’s happening now is that climate change —
and the 2 degrees of warming that the world has already
experienced since preindustrial
times — is added on top of those
existing weather patterns, making them much more intense.
“This is evidence of climate
change, this is evidence of natural variability, and this is evidence of the fact that the two can
line up and give you even larger
extremes,” said Peter Huybers, a
professor of earth and planetary
sciences at Harvard University.
In Massachusetts, Worcester
recorded its wettest July on record when there were still 12
days left in the month. A June
heat wave was the longest that
Boston had experienced in nearly a century — part of a trend of a
rising incidence of days that soar
above 90 degrees and don’t fall
below 70 at night.
Across the world, the signs
have been more troubling. Just
this week, cellphone videos recorded a horrifying scene in China as passengers were trapped

Icebergs retreated near Ilulissat, Greenland; the Sugar Fire burned buildings in Doyle, Calif., earlier this month; fire and
rescue personnel evacuated people from a hospital following flooding from heavy rains in Zhengzhou, China, last week.
inside subway cars as floodwaters rose, drowning some of
them. A year’s worth of rain fell
in just three days. It was eerily
similar to floods that washed out
entire villages in Germany and
Belgium just days earlier.
Meanwhile, more than
400,000 acres of land in Oregon
have been charred in the Bootleg
Fire — one of more than 80 fires
currently burning across the
West, where an unrelenting heat
wave has yet to die down after
pushing temperatures above 100
degrees for weeks. That heat is
believed to have killed as many
as 500 people in British Columbia, as well as 95 people in Oregon and another 20 in Washington. Preliminary data showed
that more than 1 billion sea creatures along Vancouver’s coast
were also killed by the heat
dome — cooked in the soaring
temperatures that an international team of scientists said
would have been “virtually impossible” without climate
change.
And at the top of the world, a
heat wave in Russian Siberia —
above the Arctic Circle —
brought temperatures up to 118

Some of the events
of this summer
have surprised
even the climate
experts, whose
models do a good
job of projecting
what to expect on
a warming planet.
degrees in late June. Now, hundreds of fires are burning
through the subarctic taiga forests there for the second year in
a row.
It’s no coincidence that all of
these extreme events are happening at roughly the same time.
The planet we live on is a connected place, regulated by systems that inform and relate to
each other — a delicate balance
that, despite the chaos that’s inherent in weather systems, historically made a certain amount
of sense.

But as the planet has
warmed, that has changed. Nowhere has warmed as much as
the Arctic, and as any Arctic researcher will tell you: What happens in the Arctic, doesn’t stay
there.
The Arctic is warming three
times faster than the rest of the
world because its icy cover is
melting rapidly and exposing
the ocean below. Once exposed,
instead of reflecting heat back to
the atmosphere, the ocean absorbs it, leading to rapid warming.
Climate scientists are racing
to understand how the dramatic
changes happening there are impacting the rest of the world.
Francis, of the Woodwell Center, is among the researchers
leading the way on that work, as
scientists coalesce around an understanding that extreme warming in the Arctic is weakening
the jet stream — that fast-moving river of wind high in the atmosphere that creates and steers
most of the weather we experience in the Northern Hemisphere.
“Whenever you mess with
the wind, you’re going to mess

with the weather,” she said.
That’s showing up in a few
ways. With weaker winds,
there’s less force to move a
weather system, which can lead
to heavy rains or extreme heat
just parking itself in one place
for longer than expected periods
of time.
As the heat dome was settling
in over western Canada and the
Pacific Northwest in late June,
satellite images showed that the
jet stream had taken a strange
dip, curving northward and
looping up and over that region,
meaning there was no powerful,
high-altitude wind to move the
system along, said Francis.
Likewise with the eastern European rains and resulting
floods. In that case, Francis said,
an extreme southward dip in the
jet stream allowed the rains to
sit and sit.
When it comes to rains,
there’s another issue at play too,
because a warmer atmosphere
holds more water.
“The atmosphere can hold 4
percent more water for every 1
degree Fahrenheit of warming,”
said Michael Rawlins, of the Climate System Research Center at

the University of Massachusetts
A m h e r s t . W h e n y o u h av e a
storm system with significantly
more water in it just sit over one
spot, what might have been a
rainy day a few decades ago
looks more like a tragedy.
That’s what happened in Texas in 2017, when Hurricane Harvey sat over Houston and
dumped up to 40 inches of rain
in three days, killing 80 people.
Climate scientists found that climate change made those record
rains at least three times more
likely to happen. They also
found that even under a bestcase scenario of global warming,
in which the world acts rapidly
and decisively to eliminate fossil
fuels, similar extreme rainfall
could become a further three
times more likely to occur by the
end of the century.
If no efforts are made, the researchers found, rainfall events
on the scale of Hurricane Harvey
could be up to 10 times more
likely by 2100.
These extremes come with
deadly consequences, and no
event is more dangerous than
extreme heat, which killed more
than 11,000 Americans between
1979 and 2018, according to the
EPA.
As climate change progresses, that toll is expected to climb,
including in Boston. A 2013
study found that heat-related
deaths in Boston would see a
four-fold increase by the 2080s
under a moderate-warming scenario in which emissions decline, but not rapidly. In a scenario in which emissions continue to rise, those heat-related
deaths would see a seven-fold increase, according to the study.
The potential outcomes are
dire, which makes it all the more
important that action to combat
climate change comes swiftly,
said Francis.
“As awful as these events are,
they are helping people to realize that they’re being affected by
climate change today,” she said.
“This is not a global warming
story of the gradual warming of
the planet on average. This is the
much more personal impact of
climate change.”

Republicans continue to stoke fears of a US under siege
uIMMIGRATION

Continued from Page A1

The rhetoric has reached
cities as small as Brackettville,
Texas, where local officials
signed a state of disaster letter
declaring their rural border
county “under siege” as immigrants “invade.” Republican governors in states nowhere near
Mexico, including South Dakota
and Ohio, are heeding the calls
from Abbott and Arizona Governor Doug Ducey to send National Guard troops and other law
enforcement agents to patrol the
nation’s southwestern edge.
The Biden “administration
has turned every town into a
border town, and every state into a border state,” Tennessee
Senator Marsha Blackburn told
reporters last week, referencing
migrant children flown into
shelters in her state. “Look at
what we would be opening our
country, our communities, our
states, to, if this is allowed to
continue.”
Tough talk on border security
and immigration has long been
a staple of Republican politics,
particularly during primaries,
when politicians often vow to
crack down on illegal immigration. But Trump took the rhetoric to a new level in both volume
and intensity as president, frequently complaining of an “invasion” of nameless immigrants
and depicting border crossers as
criminals and “killers” in his rally speeches.
That overwrought “invasion”
language, which Republican officials are now echoing to criticize Biden’s border policies,
plays into far right and, explicitly, white supremacist tropes that
fuel anxiety among white voters
about the dilution of their political power, historians and political analysts said, and that could
have deadly consequences. Two
recent white supremacist shooting suspects, Robert Bowers in
Pittsburgh and Patrick Crusius
in El Paso, Texas, cited “invaders” and a “Hispanic invasion” in
the lead-up to their crimes.

Republicans say they have legitimate reasons to raise fears
about the situation at the border, pointing to apprehensions
that reached a 20-year high in
June and rising summer temperatures that haven’t had their
usual effect of deterring crossings.
The National Republican
Congressional Committee has
been blasting out a weekday
newsletter dubbed the “Biden
Border Crisis,” with what it lists
as Biden’s policy failures, as congressional Republicans head
down to the Rio Grande Valley
for boat tours of the border.
“Democrats created a border
crisis, and it keeps ge tting
worse,” NRCC spokeswoman Torunn Sinclair said. “Their inability and unwillingness to stem
the flow of drugs and migrants
illegally crossing the US-Mexico
border will cost them their
House majority.”
Democrats defend Biden’s
approach to the border, pointing
out that the crossings started to
hit new peaks under Trump, as
well, even as Trump took hardline and inhumane measures to
deter migrants.
But several polls suggest the
GOP lines of attack may be having an effect. A Harvard CAPSHarris poll released in June
found approval for Biden’s handling of immigration had
dropped since February, from 56
percent to 52 percent, the lowest
rating out of any of the eight issues polled. Another Washington Post-ABC News poll from July found 51 percent of Americans disapproved, making
immigration Biden’s lowest
ranking issue in that poll, as
well.
The use of more inflammatory language around immigration, including painting migrants as criminals, is not new to
the Republican Party.
Anti-immigrant sentiment

mainstream at various times

tion reform and civil rights —
and most recently in California,
Arizona, and Texas, where the
Latino population has grown.
Pat Buchanan, who ran unsuccessfully for the Republican
presidential nomination in 1992
and 1996, wrote books that
warned about “immigrant invasions” eroding Western society,
and years before Trump, Iowa
Representative Steve King called
for a border wall and compared
immigrants to dogs.
But Buchanan was shunned
from his party and King ousted
from his committees for his
rhetoric as recently as 2018.
Trump, who slammed Buchanan as a “Hitler lover” in 1999 before cribbing his language on
immigration years later, has
been embraced.
After Trump rode that message into the White House, his
attorney general Jeff Sessions

and Trump aide Stephen Miller
played to white grievances as
they reshaped the nation’s approach to immigration and the
US-Mexico border, drastically
curbing the path to asylum, limiting legal forms of migration,
and making the vilification of
immigrants they deemed unwanted a consistent and open
theme of the Trump presidency.
“We tend to think of Trump
as undisciplined and scattered
and unorganized, but when it
came to his immigration during
the four years of his presidency,
he had a laser focus,” said Geraldo Cadava, an associate professor of history at Northwestern
University and author of “The
Hispanic Republican.”
The Trump administration’s
anti-immigrant language, coupled with its harsh policy approach, resonated with the mix
of white power activists, neo-Nazis, and white supremacists who
first came together in the aftermath of the Vietnam War to seek
to create a separate white ethnostate, experts said. Now, some
of the movement’s ideas permeate in the mainstream immigration debate, most notably echoes
of the “Great Replacement”
trope — a racist conspiracy theory with roots in early 20th-century French nationalism. It asserts that elites are using Black
and brown immigrants from Af-

rica and the Middle East to replace native white Europeans
around the world.
“By moving from the fringe
to the mainstream, [the anti-immigrant rhetoric] provides cover
to a much more radical and antiDemocratic strain in white power politics,” said Kathleen Belew,
a historian at the University of
Chicago, who has studied the
movement for 15 years.
In April, Tucker Carlson, the
popular Fox News pundit, took a
version of those views to prime
time when he said Democrats
planned to maintain power by
changing the country’s population, and that they wanted to
“replace” the current electorate
with “more obedient voters from
the Third World.”
Republican Senator Ron
Johnson of Wisconsin dipped into similar language on Fox Business just weeks later. The Biden
administration “wants complete
open borders,” Johnson said.
“And you have to ask yourself
why? Is it really they want to rem a ke t h e d e m o g ra p h i c s o f
America to ensure their — that
they stay in power forever? Is
that what’s happening here?”
To be sure, immigration is a
thorny issue that has stumped
both Republican and Democratic administrations over the past
three decades — and many Republican voters and politicians
view it with nuance, saying they
want tighter restrictions against
illegal immigration but better
treatment of people caught in
the system.
Still, dehumanizing and
more extreme language has
surged as congressional and
state-level Republicans have
sought to keep Trump’s border
policies, claiming that migrants
crossing the US-Mexico border
are bringing drugs, crime, and
disease; that federal officials are
clandestinely moving immigrants into quiet and presumably predominantly white suburbs and neighborhoods nationwide; and that the newcomers
are putting a strain on social ser-

vices.
The language stirs fears of
demographic change at a time
when many Republicans are still
rallying around an ex-president
who declined to condemn white
supremacist groups. “We are
just in this moment now where
everyone is trying to figure out
how far to the right, how far into
white nationalism can the GOP
go and still maintain a sense of
legitimacy,” said Laura Gómez, a
law professor at the University
of California who has written on
race, Latino voters, and immigration in the United States.
Perhaps nowhere has the language been more pervasive than
in Texas, where white nativist
conspiracy theories that Mexicans plan to “reconquer” the
Southwest have percolated since
at least the 19th century, and
where as recently as August
2019, a self-proclaimed white
supremacist opened fire at a
Walmart in El Paso, killing 23
people.
In a racist online screed he
wrote before the crime, the suspect parroted the Great Replacement theory, as well as Trump
and Texas Republican rhetoric,
as he warned against the Hispanic “invasion” of the state.
That hasn’t stop Abbott from
echoing Trump as he has raised
alarm over the “carnage” fueled
by “people who are coming
across the border.” At a press
conference that included Trump
last month by the border wall,
Abbott denounced a rise in
“ c r i m i n a l m i g r a n t s ,” a n d
pledged to complete the steelrod fence to stop communities
from being “overrun.”
“We need to emphasize exactly why we are doing this,” Abbott said. “We are doing this because our fellow Texans and our
fellow Americans, they are being
threatened every single day.”
Standing nearby, Trump
sternly looked on.

aged car battery — that caused a serious
injury and set off a frustrating process
of getting the company to provide pay
while they heal and get the treatment
needed to return to work. Some employees were unable to get workers’
compensation they believed was owed
to them, while others lost or gave up
their jobs due to injury and were left
without some health care benefits.
Four of the injured workers interviewed by the Globe, including Fricker,
appealed their denial before a state
judge, who determined Amazon was liable for the injury and approved a settlement to the worker.
The Fall River warehouse has one of
the highest rates of worker injuries in
Amazon’s sprawling national network
of distribution centers, data show. It so
stands out that for several years members of the Massachusetts congressional
delegation have peppered Amazon with
questions about its safety efforts in Fall
River.
Many of these injured workers, such
as Kristin Provencal, who was knocked
over by the falling bike, said the Amazon warehouse job was a good, if grueling, position that paid above minimum
wage — unless you get hurt. For her that
risk overrides the welcome pay.
“I tell everybody it’s just not worth
it,” Provencal said. “When we get hurt,
we are no good to them.”
The injured workers aim much of
their frustration at Amazon as well as
the firm it uses to handle such cases,
Sedgwick Claims Management Services.
Silva injured his shoulder in May 2017
when a car battery slid unexpectedly in
its packaging, jolting his arm in its socket. He recalls that day at work as a frenzy, with a shortage of staff triggering a
pile-up of hundreds of packages on the
loading dock. He worked through pain
for three weeks before finally demanding to see a doctor, who prescribed Silva
physical therapy.
Sedgwick, handling the claim for
Amazon, reviewed it and approved
eight sessions of physical therapy. But
after just one session with the physical
therapist, Silva said, the hospital told
him that he couldn’t schedule additional sessions until Sedgwick had paid.
When he reached out to Amazon and
Sedgwick, he said, he never heard back.
A spokesperson for Sedgwick initially
said it would review Silva’s delayed
claim but later declined to comment.
Living on the $272.36 weekly incapacity payments, and still locked out of
his treatments, Silva decided to return
to Amazon with an authorization from
his doctor to not lift anything heavier
than 10 pounds. But because the Fall
River facility specializes in oversized
items, Silva said, he had to move boxes
much heavier than 10 pounds.
“The floor managers didn’t seem to
care about the limitations,” Silva said,
adding he had no choice but to pack
boxes with just his right arm, despite repeatedly telling his managers he was
still hurt. Months later, still in pain, Silva quit. He has yet to receive physical
therapy for his shoulder, which is still
injured more than three years later.
Under state law, companies such as
Amazon are required to pay workers’
payments and cover the treatment costs
for employees injured at work. Instead,
employees alleged that the trillion-dollar behemoth and the company it uses
to handle the cases made accessing the
payments and health care due to them
under state law confusing and difficult,
leaving many languishing for weeks or
months with only minimal benefits.
Workers’ compensation attorneys
and experts say these problems afflict
injured workers at many companies in
Massachusetts, not just Amazon, and
are especially common among large employers. The missed payments and long
bureaucratic tussles that workers described “are just part of the pattern of
denying injuries, denying claims, and
making workers jump through enormous hoops,” said Jodi Sugerman-Brozan, executive director of the Massachusetts Coalition for Occupational Safety
and Health.
Amazon spokesperson Rachael
Lighty declined to comment on the specific injured workers’ cases. The company also declined to answer multiple
questions about its relationship with
Sedgwick.
Lighty told the Globe in an e-mail,
“Nothing is more important than the
health and safety of our teams,” and detailed investments in safety protocols
for Amazon warehouses, such as “guided wellness exercises” and “ergonomic
tools and technology.”
Inside the warehouse — which is a

third of a mile long and sprawls over 1.3
million square feet — items are stored
on row after row of towering shelves.
Throughout their 10-hour shifts, as
products are ordered, workers ride
semi-automated machines along the
aisles, putting items into a cage to be
packaged, labeled, and loaded onto the
outgoing trucks.
Amazon has 20 warehouses in Massachusetts and another 14 underway,
according to the Metropolitan Area
Planning Council. Alone among them,
the Fall River warehouse specializes in
heavy and bulky objects, such as rugs,
mattresses, bags of cat litter, even basketball hoops, that must be manually
lifted from shelves before being forklifted to the floor and transported around
the warehouse.
Warehouse jobs, in general, tend to
be dangerous, but Amazon’s warehouses have exceptionally high injury rates,
according to data from the Department
of Labor and injury logs filed by the
company. In 2018, the serious injury
rate at the Fall River warehouse —11.8
per 100 workers — was more than three
times the industry average, according to
data from Amazon’s injury logs that the
Center for Investigative Reporting obtained.
In 2019, the rate of serious injuries
the Fall River warehouse reported to
OSHA was 17 percent higher than in
2018, even when accounting for the increased staffing, a Globe analysis of Amazon injury logs found.
The situation at the Fall River facility
fits a pattern of injuries increasing at
Amazon warehouses around the country — a record that the Center for Investigative Reporting alleged in a September 2020 report “Amazon has gone to
great lengths to conceal.”
Workplace specialists say Amazon’s
intense focus on delivery speeds exerts
extraordinary pressure on employees to
move as many products as fast as possible — with the company using quotas to
hold them accountable. That work tempo, particularly when handling heavy
items, as in Fall River, increases injury

risk, they said. The week before Silva injured his shoulder on the dock, he said,
just he and one other worker were responsible for loading tens of thousands
of boxes in a 10-hour shift.
“One of the major trends that is happening right now is e-commerce, which
introduces a different set of processes
into a warehouse, and increases the
speed at which those processes have to
be completed,” said Beth Gutelius, research director of the Center for Urban
Economic Development and an expert
on automation in warehouses. “Workers are pushed to their physical and psychological limits.”
For injured workers, here’s how the
system of compensation and care is supposed to work: If the employee misses
more than five days on the job because
of a workplace illness or injury, the employer is required by law to notify the
Department of Industrial Accidents, or
DIA, within seven days to initiate the
workers’ compensation process.
If a worker is unable to work at all
for more than five days because of a
workplace injury, state law requires the
employer to pay them 60 percent of the
worker’s average weekly wage and cover
the costs of medical treatment for the
injury. (Workers who are able to work,
but for fewer hours or for a lower wage,
are entitled to up to 45 percent of their
wage.)
Employers can pay these benefits for
up to 180 days without admitting liability for the injury. They can also reject
the claim immediately or suspend the
payments at any time if they believe the
claim is not justified.
Amazon often rejected claims citing
a lack of medical evidence for the injury
or disputed the injury was due to work
at its warehouse, according to DIA records obtained by the Globe. If the
worker is still unable to return to work,
and still believes they qualify for workers’ compensation benefits, they can file
a claim for benefits, which often requires hiring a workers’ compensation
attorney.
This starts a process before the DIA

and, if necessary, an administrative
judge who can direct the employer’s insurer to pay the workers’ compensation
benefits or rule it is not liable for the injury. (The department can also issue
penalties for failing to commence or delaying payments, as well as for fighting
claims without reasonable grounds, a
DIA spokesperson said.)
When it opened in 2017, Amazon
became one of Fall River’s largest employers, and the recipient of a 15-year
tax exemption valued at an estimated
$100 million approved by the Fall River
City Council in a meeting that lasted
less than three minutes. In return, Amazon guaranteed 500 jobs by 2019, a
number it quickly exceeded, and the demands of home delivery during the pandemic have swelled the ranks there even
further. It currently has about 1,200
full-time employees, according to Amazon spokesperson Maria Boschetti.
As Amazon continues to expand in
Massachusetts, including building a
warehouse in North Andover twice the
size of the Fall River one (and receiving
$27 million in tax subsidies to do so), a
coalition of labor groups in the state is
demanding better working conditions
at the new warehouses. Amazon has
fought attempts by its employees to
unionize, the Globe reported last fall. In
the highest profile unionization effort to
date, workers at Amazon’s warehouse in
Bessemer, Ala., voted more than 2 to 1
against forming a union. (Union organizers are contesting the results and alleging Amazon illegally interfered with
the election, a charge that Amazon denies.)
The number of injuries in Fall River
and at its other warehouses prompted
Senators Elizabeth Warren and Edward
Markey and then-Representative Joseph P. Kennedy to write to Amazon, in
2019 and again in 2020, demanding answers about the warehouse’s high injury
rate.
“Your misleading responses and
public misrepresentations about Amazon’s safety record raise concerns about
your commitment to the safety of Ama-

zon workers, and to creating a workplace that prioritizes and values worker
safety,” they wrote on Oct. 14, 2020.
On Nov. 1, Brian Huseman, vice
president of public policy, responded
that at Amazon, “we strongly refute
claims that we have misled anyone
about injury risks” at the Fall River fulfillment center.
The Globe obtained eight complaints filed by workers with OSHA
against the Amazon Fall River warehouse since it opened, none of which
led to full investigations by the agency.
One employee, whose name was redacted, filed a complaint in November
2019, detailing safety concerns such as
“boxes of merchandise are not stacked/
stored in a stable manner,” among others.
OSHA sent an official notice of the
complaint to the Fall River fulfillment
center, but noted, “we have not determined whether the hazards, as alleged,
exist at your workplace and we do not
intend to conduct an inspection at this
time.”
Instead, as in the seven other complaints from Fall River workers, OSHA
allowed Amazon to investigate itself.
“We request that you immediately investigate the alleged conditions and
make any necessary corrections or modifications,” OSHA said in its letter about
the November 2019 complaint.
The site manager of the Fall River
warehouse, Sean Frost, responded one
week later, stating that in each of the
three allegations, “facility management” had conducted an inspection and
did not find any of the allegations to be
true. OSHA didn’t pursue the matter ––
or any of the other seven complaints, according to the case files obtained by the
Globe. Over the same time period,
OSHA conducted investigations of
3,780 other workplaces in Massachusetts, according to a spokesperson at the
Department of Labor.
Asked why OSHA closed each of
these files without investigating any of
these complaints filed against Amazon,
the spokesperson wrote that “a case file
remains open throughout the inspection process and is not closed until the
agency is satisfied that abatement has
occurred.”
While OSHA is tasked with overseeing workplace safety issues, the state
Department of Industrial Accidents
oversees the administration of workers’
compensation, and acts as a type of
court system to resolve disputes. Amazon outsources the handling of these
cases to Sedgwick, which evaluates the
requests for workers’ compensation and
authorization of payment and treatment.
Some Amazon workers did navigate
this process easily, promptly receiving
the temporary incapacity payments and
eventually returning to work. But others described how Amazon, through
Sedgwick, prevented or delayed them
from getting the compensation and
treatment they sought.
A Sedgwick spokesperson, Judy Molnar, declined to comment.
For any injured worker, not just Amazon employees, navigating the workers’ compensation process can be
daunting, lawyers familiar with the process told the Globe.
“It’s an incredibly complicated,
unique, archaic, complex system,” said
Audrey Richardson, acting managing
attorney of the employment law unit at
Greater Boston Legal Services, which
represents many injured workers before

the DIA. “Claims can be incredibly difficult and time-consuming to resolve, if
not insurmountable,” she said.
Several Amazon workers said getting
approval was relatively smooth, but actually receiving the money was another
matter. Four Fall River workers whose
claims were approved said checks didn’t
arrive for some weeks, forcing them to
wait on hold with Sedgwick to speak
with a case manager, or even return to
work injured.
Other workers who received their
lost wages found it difficult to get Amazon to cover medical treatments ––
even after Sedgwick had issued a notice
saying it would cover the cost of treatment.
Errol South was lifting a bed frame
last September when he felt an acute
pain in his shoulder. It was so severe
that South drove himself to a nearby
emergency room, where he was diagnosed with a strain by the doctor, he
told the Globe. South has four children
and couldn’t afford to be out of work for
long. So he returned just over a week
later with a doctor’s note stating his restrictions. Two months later, in November 2019, South injured his shoulder
again, lifting another oversized box.
This time, the pain was too much
and South had to stop working. He
made an appointment at a chiropractor’s office for his shoulder, and he said
Sedgwick paid for the appointment. But
10 sessions later, South’s doctor informed him that workers’ compensation, administered by Sedgwick, had
stopped paying after the first session —
even though the claims adjuster acknowledged the injury had occurred at
work. And South was still in too much

Amazon’s Fall River warehouse has one of the highest rates of worker injuries in the company’s network of distribution centers, data show.
pain to work.
He didn’t know what to do next. He
found the process to get workers’ compensation “tricky and confusing.”
Claims adjusters at Sedgwick were hard
to get on the phone. “If you are trying to
get into contact with them, you can forget about it,” South said.
South’s experience with Sedgwick is
not unusual, said Stacie Sobosik, a
workers’ compensation attorney who
has represented many clients who faced
difficulties obtaining compensation
from Sedgwick. “It’s like reaching into a
void,” she said. “They are one of the
more difficult third-party administrators in Massachusetts.”
South is now unemployed and cannot lift with his right arm. He has retained a personal injury lawyer to help
him negotiate with Sedgwick to cover

his medical bills.
Other injured workers said they, too,
had to hire lawyers after their workers’
compensation benefits were terminated, in order to bring a case to the Department of Industrial Accidents.
Four said they eventually ended up
with a settlement from Amazon of lump
sums of more than $20,000. For each,
public records from the cases show
Sedgwick terminated so-called temporary incapacity payments, arguing there
was “insufficient credible medical evidence to determine liability,” among
other reasons.
After bringing their cases to the DIA,
however, records indicate Sedgwick and
Amazon agreed to additional compensation. Sobosik, the workers’ compensation attorney, said it is common for
companies to fight workers’ compensa-

tion claims, only to give in or lose after a
long-drawn out process.
“The fact that it was in litigation for
two years doesn’t surprise me,” Sobosik
said, “That’s completely par for the
course.”
Fricker, for example, the packer who
was hit by a falling bed frame in August
2017, had her incapacity payments discontinued in May 2017. Sedgwick said
its medical examiner had determined
Fricker could return to full time work
“with some restrictions.”
But Fricker said the doctor, paid by
Amazon, barely evaluated her before
approving her return to work. Eventually, after numerous conferences before
administrative judges, she received a
settlement of $40,000 in May 2019 — almost two years after her injury. Case records indicate the industrial accidents

board found Amazon was liable for her
injury.
But Fricker said the settlement is less
of a victory than what it might seem. Today, she remains largely incapacitated
by her injury and continues to fight Amazon and Sedgwick over outstanding
medical bills. The settlement money has
long been used up, so Fricker had to
find a new job she could manage despite constant nerve pain; she started
working at McDonald’s during the night
shift, when the pace is comparatively
slow.
“It’s left me nowhere,” Fricker said,
“I’m worse off than when I started.”

people objecting to the passes
demonstrated around the country last week.
France is one of several European countries that recently
shifted to a new, semicoercive
strategy to speed up vaccinations and keep a recent surge of
infections in check: making social life unpleasant for those
who refuse to get vaccinated,
while stopping short of making
the shots mandatory.
A bill being examined by the
French Senate and expected to
be passed in the coming days
will extend the requirement to
produce a health pass to cafes,
bars, restaurants, and gyms,
adding fines for establishments
that fail to enforce the rule. A
valid health pass will also become required for nonurgent
visits to hospitals or retirement
homes and long-distance train
and bus rides.
French television showed
that some protesters wore the
trademark reflective jackets of
the Yellow Vest movement that
rocked France in 2018 and 2019.
The movement was rooted in anger over economic inequality but
also espoused anti-elite rhetoric
and deep distrust of the government, directing much of its vitriol directly at President Emmanuel Macron.

Court lifts pandemic cruise
restrictions for Florida
MIAMI — Pandemic restrictions on Florida-based cruise
ships are no longer in place under the latest ruling by a federal

appeals court, while the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tries to fight a Florida
lawsuit challenging the regulations.
A three-judge panel of the
11th US Circuit Court of Appeals
had temporarily blocked a previous ruling last Saturday that sided with Florida officials, but the
court reversed that decision on
Friday, explaining that the CDC
failed to demonstrate an entitlement to a stay pending appeal.
Last weekend’s temporary stay
had kept the CDC regulations regarding Florida-based cruise
ships in place.
The lawsuit, championed by
Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, claims that the CDC’s
multiple-step process to allow
cruising from Florida is overly
burdensome, harming both a
multibillion-dollar industry that
provides some 159,000 jobs and
revenue collected by the state.
The CDC, however, said keeping the rules in place would prevent future COVID-19 outbreaks
on ships that are vulnerable to
the spread of the virus because

of their close quarters and frequent stops at foreign ports.

— Tanzania has received its first

Tanzania had been among
the few countries in Africa yet to

vaccines were received by the

THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC

Despite vaccines’ buffer, cases and stress climbing again
uVIRUS

Continued from Page A1

While reports are increasing
nationwide of breakthrough infections in people already vaccinated, the cases are still uncommon and most do not involve serious illness or death. More than
97 percent of people hospitalized with COVID-19 are unvaccinated, federal officials say.
“If we didn’t have highly effective vaccines, things would be
dramatically different. The lockdowns would have continued,”
said Dr. Leonard Mermel, medical director of the epidemiology
and infection control department at Rhode Island Hospital.
One of the most striking examples of the vaccines’ power
can be seen at the Maplewood at
Mayflower Place senior living facility in West Yarmouth, where
officials Tuesday reported 33
people testing positive for
COVID-19 since July 10, including 24 elderly residents.
Early last year, when the first
wave of COVID-19 infections
swept through nursing homes,
elderly people died in scores, including 76 at the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home alone. In all, longterm care deaths accounted for
roughly 40 percent of the nation’s COVID-19 deaths before
the vaccines rolled out.
Today, the vast majority of
nursing home residents statewide are vaccinated, including
most Mayflower Place residents,
and the contrast to 2020 is striking. So far, one resident who
tested positive last week has
died, said Bruce Murphy, Yarmouth’s health director. But
most of the residents who tested
positive are either asymptomatic
or have mild symptoms, the
state health department said.
Nationally, the outlook is
more concerning. The seven-day
average of new cases has nearly
tripled since July Fourth, data
from the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention show.
Hospitalizations in the past two
weeks have jumped 53 percent

A sign in Provincetown, where there has been a recent surge in COVID-19 cases, requested

and deaths 30 percent, according to T he New York Times
COVID-19 tracker.
In Massachusetts, where 69.4
percent of residents have received at least one vaccine dose,
new cases are also on the rise,
with the seven-day average more
than tripling since July 5, state
data show. But the increase in
hospitalizations and deaths has
been modest: a 17 percent increase in hospitalizations since
July 5, while deaths, a lagging
i n d i c a t o r, h av e h e l d a b o u t
steady.
And yet, anxiety levels are rising.
More Americans are now saying a return to “normal life” is
risky, finds a new Axios/Ipsos
poll. Thirty-nine percent said returning to their pre-coronavirus
life right now poses a large or
moderate risk to their health
and well-being — an 11-point inc r e a s e fr o m th e e n d o f l a s t

control department at Rhode
Island Hospital.

tain times,” said Jen Kates, senior vice president and director
of global health & HIV policy at
the Kaiser Family Foundation.
Fueling the anxiety, Kates
said, is the realization that a sizeable portion of Americans —
roughly one in five — say they
will definitely not get vaccinated
or will get a vaccine only if re-

quired to do so for work or other
activities, a measure that has remained relatively unchanged
since January.
“We’ve reached a plateau in
people wanting to get vaccinated, leaving huge swaths of unvaccinated parts of the country,”
she said.
And it’s not just this country.
Billions of people globally are
unvaccinated, as many countries, especially poor ones, still
lack widespread access to the
shots.
“Every day around the world
the virus is continuing to evolve
and we haven’t kept pace with
our vaccine initiative globally to
try to mitigate further mutations
that would make the virus more
transmissible,” Mermel said.
The death rate has declined
globally since the spring, but
each day thousands of people
are still dying, the Johns Hopkins University COVID-19 tracker shows. The world has witnessed how rapidly a virus in
one country can infect billions

globally. And yet, Mermel said,
vaccine distribution to many developing countries has stalled.
“The fuse is burning,” Mermel said, “and we are running
around town looking for a pail of
water.”
With America at a crossroads
— roughly half the country is
still unvaccinated — and the virus continuing to mutate, everyday life, unlike in 2020, will become an ongoing calculation
about what’s safe and what isn’t,
said Dr. Sandro Galea, dean of
Boston University’s School of
Public Health.
“In a world where people are
now vaccinated, risk of transmission and severity are totally
different than last summer,”
Galea said. “The question is,
what level of risk are we willing
to accept in our lives.”
In Massachusetts, some officials are wasting no time in taking aggressive steps to block the
virus’s spread. On Thursday, Acting Mayor Kim Jane y announced that Boston’s public
school children will be required
to wear masks when they return
to school in the fall. And Cambridge is urging residents,
whether vaccinated or not, to
wear masks and practice social
distancing “where transmission
is likely and when around unvaccinated people, including young
children.”
Nationally, top White House
officials are reportedly debating
risk levels and whether to advise
a return to indoor masking, even
for those who are vaccinated.
A return to masks is gaining
traction with infectious disease
experts, some of whom say federal regulators dropped the ball
too early on this in May.
“It’s a really gray zone now
and it’s really hard to go backwards,” said Shan Soe-Lin, a lecturer at Yale University’s Jackson
Institute for Global Affairs, and
managing director at Pharos
Global Health Advisors, a Boston global health advisory firm.
“I think we should return to

indoor masking everywhere,”
she said.
Soe-Lin is advising her
friends to start masking up indoors.
“Don’t live like a hermit anymore,” she said, “but you also
don’t want to go to a party with a
whole bunch of people without
wearing a mask.”
Soe-Lin’s caution is a far cry
from the sunny optimism earlier
this year when Governor Charlie
Baker lifted most COVID-19 restrictions, allowing crowds to return to Fenway Park, bar patrons to return to their favorite
watering holes, and life to return
to something like normal.
So far, at least, Baker has resisted calls for new statewide restrictions in the wake of the
surge in infections, saying it’s up
to local officials if they want to
re-impose mask rules or other
restrictions.
“We have a set of statewide
standards, and they’re based on
what we see on a statewide basis,” the governor said at an
event on Cape Cod on Thursday.
“And if communities believe they
need to pursue strategies that
are more effective and appropriate to them, then they should do
so.”
Despite the rising concerns
about breakthrough infections,
Soe-Lin said people should be
optimistic about how well the
vaccines are working.
But she equated them to a
bulletproof vest: a last line of defense that is no substitute for
avoiding danger in the first
place. Just because you’re vaccinated, she said, doesn’t mean
you shouldn’t take commonsense steps to minimize your exposure. Or, as Soe-Lin puts it:
“Don’t test your vest if you
don’t have to.”

ing on that distinction.
The mask mandate in Branson lasted until April of this year, becoming a
subject of fierce controversy in a city
that normally welcomes droves of tourists to its panoply of music shows and
themed attractions.
Today, with the mandate lifted and
summer travel booming, Crazy Craig’s
has competition once again. Traffic on
the main drag creeps as slowly as the on
Mass. Pike at rush hour. Like the rest of
the country, southwest Missouri is barreling into a summer of post-pandemic
revelry and relief.
The problem is, the pandemic is far
from over here.
The number of COVID patients at
Mercy Hospital in Springfield — the
state’s third-largest city, 50 minutes
north of Branson — is at an all-time
high, surpassing the worst days of December. Back then, it took four months
to reach a pandemic peak of 113 people
hospitalized. Now, in just over a month,
the tally had risen to 115 with no end in
sight. In over 90 percent of cases in the
state, the highly contagious Delta variant is to blame. Every person in the ICU
as of Tuesday was unvaccinated.
Southwest Missouri has become
ground zero for the fourth COVID-19
wave, a disconcerting example of how
pandemic fatigue, vaccine hesitancy,
and the Delta variant can collide to create an overwhelming eruption of infections. Its residents are well aware they
are in the spotlight nationally for resisting vaccination in the face of all this. In
interviews, few expressed outright skep-

Clay Cooper, a performer and theater owner in Branson, said, “I got nothing against the vaccine. . . . It comes
down to personal choice. The bullying, the shaming, and the pushing of the vaccine is ridiculous.”

ticism of the virus or spoke derisively
about the inoculated masses in some
other sections of the country. Most simply viewed vaccinations, as well as
masking, as an individual decision.
“I DO NOT believe it’s my place, or
the place of any politician, to endorse,

promote or compel any person to get
any vaccine,” said Branson Mayor Larry
Milton in the local newspaper. “That’s a
decision that should be made by each
individual in consultation with their
doctor and their family.”
And so, even as cases skyrocket and

vaccination rates plateau at around 26
percent, Branson remains open for
business.
The city is home to a population of
just over 11,000, but each year it welcomes some 9 million visitors, most of
whom travel by car from Arkansas,

People gathered outside of Andy’s Frozen Custard on a recent evening. Branson is home to a population of just over 11,000, but each year it welcomes
some 9 million visitors, most of whom travel by car from Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Oklahoma, and Texas. For those unfamiliar with the scene here, think of the
kitschy-ness of Route 1 in its prime
paired with the soundtrack of Nashville
and the wholesomeness of Disneyland.
Homer Simpson once described the
place as Vegas as designed by his devoutly Christian neighbor Ned Flanders. Nearly 100 churches dot the Branson area, open to both locals and the
churn of weekend visitors. Everyone
seems unbelievably kind. Alcohol is
sparse. Cowboy hats abound. Helicopter tours buzz above, and a fake Mount
Rushmore featuring John Wayne, Elvis
Presley, Marilyn Monroe, and Oliver
Hardy, and a giant meatball loom over
the strip.
“Branson has many activities to
make any person happy no matter what
they love,” wrote one visitor in a tourism
survey. “My family comes to Branson
because the city displays a love for God,
freedom, respect for our flag and the
love for our country.”
Born and raised in northern Arkansas, Kayla Hilles grew up marveling at
this spectacle on family trips. But now,
as an ICU nurse at the city’s hospital,
Cox Medical Center Branson, all she can
think about is how the area has squandered its chance to end the pandemic.
“Just like everybody else, I want this
community and its businesses to flourish,” Hilles said. “But I can’t just keep
watching people struggle to live. We’re
never going to get back to what makes
Branson great if we don’t change something.”
Steve Edwards, president of CoxHealth, which oversees six hospitals in
southwest Missouri and northwest Arkansas, has been decidedly more blunt.
“We’re going to care for patients regardless, but deep inside, it’s hard to
make that same commitment knowing
your patient was someone who had a
solution in their hand with the vaccine,”
he said at July press conference.
That message incensed Clay Cooper.
The 51-year-old Texas-born country
singer owns a namesake theater on the
strip. He ventured into politics this year
by running for alderman on the promise to repeal the mask mandate, a platform shared by then-mayoral candidate
Larry Milton. Both won by a landslide.
The mandate was lifted within an hour
of their swearing in.
“You know what that message tells
me? You’re judging people that you’re
supposed to be unbiased and caring
for,” Cooper said. “If a guy comes in who
just shot two police officers, your job is
to take care of that man regardless if
you agree why he is there.”
Cooper knows firsthand how cruel
the virus can be. The Saturday he spoke
with a reporter at his theater, his friend
was taking his last breaths on a ventilator after a weeklong battle with COVID19. Randy McConnell, 59, a beloved
Branson bass guitarist, died a day later.
Still, Cooper remains adamant that the
decision to get vaccinated should be an
individual choice.
“I got nothing against the vaccine. I
don’t think Bill Gates is putting microchip crap in the doses. It comes down to
personal choice. The bullying, the
shaming, and the pushing of the vaccine is ridiculous,” he said. “The more
you shove it, the more you call people

idiots and murderers for not doing it,
you’re only pushing them further away.”
He did not want his vaccination status publicized. Others who were enjoying Branson last weekend while still unvaccinated offered their reasons.
A couple from Arkansas in town for
a vintage Ford truck show was in no
rush to get their doses, having contracted COVID earlier in the year. “We will
be getting vaccinated soon as the immunity will wear off,” said Kelly Haight, as
she stood next to her grandfather’s baby
blue 1956 F-100.
A duo from Colorado enduring the
hourlong wait at Billy Gail’s, home of
the 14-inch pancake, were split. Rhondi
Spurz, 71, immunocompromised from
back-to-back strokes last year, reluctantly got the vaccine after a friend sang
its praises to her. But her grandson, Adam Weaver, 21, is waiting on FDA approval before taking the leap. (The vaccines have been authorized by the FDA
for emergency use.)

And yet, behind the counters at hotels, stores, and attractions, most of the

think most of us working in hospitality
did.”
But such scattered efforts seem like
Band-Aids for bullet wounds. Hilles
said the small intensive care unit at Cox
Medical Center Branson is at full capacity. Those needing a ventilator would
typically be transported to hospitals in
Springfield (37 miles away). But these
days, those hospitals rarely have beds
available. When the units are full, ambulances from Branson continue onward to Tulsa (219 miles) and St. Louis
(251 miles), putting that vehicle out of
commission for an entire day.
“We’re Americans. We all support individual rights and freedoms. But in
this situation, it isn’t just about your
health, it’s about the health of the people around you,” said Erik Fredericks,
the chief administrative officer of Mercy
Hospital in Springfield, by phone. “It’s
not a personal choice. You’re making a
decision that impacts our community.
And we’re seeing that decision play out
in the walls of our hospital.”
Crazy Craig’s Cheeky Monkey performed so well last year it spawned a
sister bar called Crazy Craig’s Treehouse
that opened on the Branson main strip
in mid-May. On Friday night, Martinosky sat near the front door of his new
establishment, welcoming every new
guest with a fizzy neon green shot and a

In one story, he describes a visit to
the doctor’s office this spring. The magazine stand sat empty since pandemic
precautions banned shared items. No

Suddenly, a random man rushes in,
whips out dozens of magazines, fills the

patrons and bartenders respond, “Freedom!”

ABRAHAMS, Dr. Marc
Laurence

Age 70, of Wellesley, slipped from us
in his sleep on Monday, July 5, 2021.
Marc was a beloved son, husband,
father, brother, and friend to many,
as well as a great dentist who could
make his patients laugh and relax
even when they were in his chair.
Marc lived every day filled with
curiosity, acceptance, and love for his
family and friends. Born and raised
in Brooklyn, NY, the son of the late
Arthur Abrahams and Sally Jacob
Abrahams, Marc attended the Samuel
J. Tilden High School in Brooklyn, NY,
State University of New York at Stony
Brook, and Tufts University School
of Dental Medicine, graduating cum
laude in 1975. Marc leaves his beloved
wife, Carol Haffenreffer Abrahams,
his three children, Michael (and his
fiancée Kelsey Johnson), Marie (and
her fiancé Will Randall), and Alex
(and his partner Emily Snell), and
his brother Gary Abrahams. Marc
cherished his siblings (in-law) William
and Sophia Haffenreffer, Peter and the
late Robin Haffenreffer, Reverend Hugh
and Debbie Haffenreffer, and Jeanie
and Mark Resetarits. He also adored
his nieces and nephews Katie Matt,
Moriah, Chris, Zachary, Hannah, and
Sam.
Marc met Carol on a whitewater
rafting weekend with mutual friends
and the adventures never stopped.
With his young family Marc hiked,
climbed, camped, kayaked, skied,
mountain biked, and explored many
places. Marc loved running - while
pushing his children in baby joggers
along Nantucket’s beaches and paths,
on local jogs to collect his thoughts, or
long excursions training for the four
marathons he was proud to complete.
Fourteen years ago Marc was
diagnosed with ALS or Lou Gehrig’s
Disease. Although ALS diminished
Marc’s physical self, and ended his
career way too early, it never took
away his spirit, his intellect, his broad
smile, or the mischievous twinkle in
his eyes. While living with ALS, Marc
participated in clinical trials through
the MGH, volunteered with Google
engineers to test interpretive speech
software, swam in the ocean every
summer, attended Broadway shows
in NYC as often as he could, and
continued to advise, support and lift up
his friends and family.
A celebration of Marc’s life took
place on July 15, 2021. In lieu of
flowers, donations in Marc’s memory
may be made to one of the following
organizations: Compassionate Care
ALS, P.O. Box 1052, West Falmouth,
MA 02574; The Leonard Florence
Center for Living, c/o the Chelsea
Jewish Foundation, 165 Captains Row,
Chelsea, MA 02150; or The MGH

Died peacefully on July 20 at his home
in Westwood, Massachusetts. Arsen was
born February 27th, 1920 in Braintree,
Massachusetts. He had two sisters
Zabel and Mary, and a brother Kazar.
He graduated from Braintree High
School in 1938 as class president. He
then attended Harvard University and
graduated from there in 1942. Upon
graduation, he enlisted and served in
the U.S. Army during World War II.
In 1968 he married Marie Pierce.
They enjoyed many trips to New York
City to visit museums and the arts, and
especially loved their times exploring
Maine.
He worked at the Brattle Theatre in
Cambridge, where he was the property
manager for many performances. His
career was also spent in the museum
field, first at Harvard’s Peabody
Museum and later for the National
Park Service where he was involved in
many projects including restoration
of Faneuil Hall and the Charlestown
Navy Yard until his retirement. He was
an avid collector of anything “old and
interesting,” visiting numerous post
card shows, etc. where he would strike
up meaningful conversations with all.
Arsen was the consummate
storyteller, and we all enjoyed holidays
when he would take us on a verbal
journey through his adventures and
experiences, with those thoughtful
“pauses” as he was getting ready for the
finale of the tale. On his 100 birthday
he graced us all by singing some playful
tunes, and our favorite was his fantastic
rendition of “Farmers Boy.”
In 2019, he was the oldest graduate
to attend Harvard University’s
commencement. His uniqueness,
inquisitiveness, and basic “charm” will
be missed by all. A private graveside
service will be held for family members.

of the Korean Service Medal, National
Defense Service Medal, the UN Service
Ribbon, and the Meritorious Service
Unit Plaque.
Mr. Harris coached freshman hockey
and baseball at Harvard University
for 12 years after his discharge from
the Army. In 1968, he and his family
moved to Hebron, Maine, where he
served as teacher, coach, and Athletic
Director at Hebron Academy for 20
years, retiring in 1988 and returning to
Massachusetts. He was inducted into
the Hebron Academy Athletic Hall of
Fame in 2011.
After moving to South Dartmouth,
Mr. Harris worked as a tax preparer
and joined the Board of Dartmouth
Natural Resources Trust (DNRT), where
he served as Treasurer for many years.
He loved being outdoors, having spent
summers in his younger days working
as a surveyor in northern New England,
and in later years exploring many
conservation properties in Dartmouth.
He was famous for going on walks
with DNRT staffers and volunteers and
disappearing into the woods, reuniting
with the group later with his jacket torn
and his face scratched, having made
sure to do his job exploring property
boundaries thoroughly.
Mr. Harris loved hockey. He played
hockey on the frozen Charles River
at Nobles, in the old Watson Rink at
Harvard where he played on the varsity
team for three years, and for many
years he coached on the outdoor rink
at Hebron Academy. Living in South
Dartmouth, he played with the local
men’s hockey group until age 77 at
Hetland Rink in New Bedford and at
the Tabor Academy rink in Marion.
He enjoyed spending time with
his family; he loved doing crossword
puzzles; he collected stamps and maps
since he was a boy; he liked planning
trips almost more than he liked
traveling; he stayed active outdoors
with yardwork and sports.
Surviving in addition to his wife
are his children, Jane Harris Ash and
her husband, Gary, of Dartmouth;
Nathaniel L. Harris of Scarborough,
ME; and Judith A. Osojnicki and
her husband, Bruce Fernandez, of
Randolph, VT; and four grandsons,
Wyatt and Blake Harris and James and
Adam Osojnicki. He is also survived by
step-grandchildren, Erin Ash Sullivan
and Amanda Ash Dasch; Jillian, Alex,
and Sam Fernandez.

Age 78, longtime Beacon Hill resident,
died peacefully on July 16, 2021 in
the company of his wife, Anne, and
daughter, Katie, after a brief illness.
Bill was born at Massachusetts
General Hospital, grew up in Milton,
MA, and was a proud member of the
first graduating class from Catholic
Memorial High School, West Roxbury.
He continued his education at Boston
College, graduating in the class of 1965,
and has maintained numerous deep
BC friendships and ties throughout
the years. It being the Vietnam War
era, Bill enlisted in the United States
Marine Corps, serving an active tour
of duty outside Da Nang. He returned
to Vietnam a few years ago and was
warmly welcomed, which helped him
to reconcile with the time he spent in
service to his country. While in Vietnam
he was most proud of his role as a
volunteer English teacher to young
Vietnamese students.
Upon returning from Vietnam, Bill
earned his J.D. from New England
School of Law and began his legal
career as an Assistant District Attorney
under William O’Malley in Plymouth
County. Bill ultimately gravitated to the
practice of labor law and spent many
years representing the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts as Labor Counsel at
the Office of Employee Relations, from
which he was appointed Commissioner
of Labor Relations by Governor Michael
J. Dukakis in 1990. At the Commission,
Bill was responsible for the
enforcement of the Commonwealth’s
public and private sector collective
bargaining laws. Upon the completion
of his appointment as Commissioner,
Bill continued his legal career as an
independent Arbitrator concentrating
on adjudicating labor and employee
relations issues. He also served on the
faculty of the Donahue Institute of the
University of Massachusetts and was
appointed by Governor Charlie Baker to
the Massachusetts Department of Labor
Relations Advisory Board. Bill retired
from the practice of law a few years
ago, but continued to maintain his
interests in his field and relationships
with his colleagues.
Bill was a committed husband and
father and was most proud of his
daughter, Katie, also an alumna of
Boston College and BC Graduate School
of Social Work. He shared his love of
Boston College football with his family
and many of his friends, as well as
his interest in history and his love of
Boston and Cape Cod. He was active in
neighborhood affairs on Beacon Hill,
was well traveled, well read and well
loved by many.
A Mass of Christian Burial will
be celebrated at St. Joseph Catholic
Church, 68 Cardinal O’Connell Way,
Boston, MA on Thursday, July 29 at
3pm. Relatives and friends are cordially
invited. Burial, which will be private,
will be at the National Cemetery at

IREDALE, Robert Charles
“Bob”

Formerly of Mashpee, Hingham, and
Montreal QC Canada, died peacefully
at home on July 23, 2021, at the age of
93 with his loving wife Kathleen “Kay”
(McGee) and family by his side.
Bob, along with his twin brother,
Joseph Arnold “Bud” was born on February 14, 1928, in Montreal to parents,
John Arnold Iredale and Esther Cowley,
becoming brothers to Helen Louise,
John William “Jack,” and Elizabeth
Anne “Lib.”
Bob led an active life growing up
in Montreal. In his teens, he played
defensive linebacker and tight end with
his West Hill High Red Raiders football
team winning three divisional championships. He continued to play football
well into his twenties, most notably
a defensive back with the semi-pro
Lakeshore Flyers team which won the
Dominion Championship in 1953.
Bob was introduced to the business
world while working for older brother
Jack in the fedora and materials
industry. In 1950 Bob found his true
professional passion when he joined his
father Arnold as a salesman for Canada
Last Company, a premier last manufacturer. He became the 4th generation
of Iredales in the business which was
founded in 1864 by his great grandfather William Iredale.
In 1957, Bob and Arnold along
with Bud purchased United Last
Company which quickly became a
leading supplier of lasts to the North
American market. Their success is
generally attributed to Arnold’s premier
model making skills, Bob’s marketing
and sales ability, and Bud’s business
expertise. Bob’s engaging personality,
worldwide connections and undeniable
fashion sense were key elements which
led to United Last’s 1968 merger with
Jones & Vining, a leading American last
supplier. A major joy for Bob was seeing
daughter, Nancy and son, Tom join the
business. As VP of Jones & Vining, Bob
moved the family to MA in 1981 where
he continued to have a substantial
impact on the company’s growth until
his retirement.
Bob was a successful businessman
always putting his family first. He was
a true patriarch, devoted husband,
father, grandfather, great-grandfather,
colleague, and friend. He and Kay
were partners in life and love, having
recently celebrated 68 years of marriage. Although golf and sailing became
favorite pastimes, nothing compared to
time spent surrounded by his beloved
five children, Nancy (and John) LaPann
of Scituate, Tom Iredale of Plymouth,
Jennifer (and Frank) Hemeon of Langley, WA, Doug (and Bernice) Iredale
of New Boston, NH and Angela (and
Matt) Grady of Sterling; his 10 grandchildren, Candice, Jaqueline, Victoria,
Andrew, Devin, Kathleen, Veronica,
Ryan, Abigail, and Trevor; his six greatgrandchildren, Sophia, Lucas, Julian,
Alice, Perry and Noa.
He was predeceased by his sister,
Helen Schroeder, his brothers, Jack
and Bud, and survived by his sister, Lib
MacMartin of Charlotte, NC. He was
also predeceased by daughter-in-law,
Francine Dubois Iredale.
A Service will be held in Bob’s
honor on Wednesday, July 28, 2021,
at 11AM, at Christ the King Parish, 5
Jobs Fishing Rd. in Mashpee, MA, with
a reception to follow. The burial will
be private. In lieu of flowers, please
consider a donation in Bob’s memory
to Cranberry Hospice of Plymouth, MA,
who helped us all through this difficult
time, or the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, a charity that was near
and dear to Kay and Bob’s heart.

KEENE, Henry Rich

Age 96, passed away
peacefully on a bright sunny
morning on Sunday, July
11, 2021 with family by his side.
He was born at home, in Dedham,
MA, and lived his life there except for
his service in the Pacific during World
War II. He loved everything about
Dedham and served as a town meeting
member for several years.
Henry lived a full and interesting
life, with many adventures (and some
misadventures), almost all related to
his love of the sea and boats. He was
very fortunate to combine his love
of boats with his work. He owned
Edson International, a manufacturer
of marine hardware and equipment,
for many years, subsequently, selling
it to his sons, Henry, Jr. and William.
Edson, whose world headquarters
is located in New Bedford, MA, was
owned by the Keene family for 65 of its
current 163 years. It is one of the oldest
manufacturing companies in the US.
In his retirement, Henry returned to
his love of ship model building, Lionel
trains, cruising on his boat and friends’
boats to Europe, NW United States,
the Caribbean, Canada, Cape Cod and
most of all his treasured coast of Maine,
where he spent a month every summer.
Henry and his beloved wife, Jane Alles
Keene, traveled extensively together, on
land and sea.
Henry was a member of the
Buzzards Yacht Club, the Camden Yacht
Club, the Cruising Club of America, the
Constitution Ship Model Guild, DREGS,
and Beefers. Henry also served on the
board of the Maine Maritime Museum
and the Dedham Historical Society.
He was predeceased by his wife Jane
and his grandson W. Tucker Keene.
His survivors include, his daughter,
Susan K Malcom (David), Henry, Jr.
(Andrea), and William (Frances). He
is “Gogo” to his grandchildren, Diana
Malcom, Alexander Malcom, and
Alida (Malcom) Fitzpatrick, Lindsey K.
Schieffelin, Abigail K Magni, Spencer
Keene, and nine great-grandchildren
with one on the way.
In lieu of flowers, contributions to
the Bourne Conservation Trust, PO Box
203, Cataumet, MA 02534 would be
greatly appreciated.
A Memorial service will be held in
the fall.
In the meantime, as Henry would
say, “keep on pedaling!”

of Rye, NH, Dan Walsh and his wife
Laura of Needham, Brian Walsh of
Boston, Catherine McCarthy and her
husband John of Needham, and Julie
Baker and her husband Henry of
Newton. He was a proud grandfather
of 11 grandchildren who affectionately
referred to him as Papa: DJ, Kelsey,
Katlyn, Tommy, Cooper, Timmy,
Maggie, Henry, McKenzie, Catherine
and Johnny. He was also known as
Uncle Tommy to many nieces and
nephews.
Tom was a veteran of the Korean
War and earned a BS and Master of
Education from Boston University.
Tom was a physical education teacher
for many years and retired from the
Needham Public School system where
he also coached soccer, wrestling,
and lacrosse. As a Father, Teacher
and Coach, Tom believed the practice
of skill development was far more
important than game day itself. In fact,
Tom would often go to professional
sporting events early to watch teams
warm up and prepare for the game to
observe skill development ideas for his
children and students. Tom coached
various sports teams in the Walpole,
Needham, Catholic Memorial and
Mount Alvernia High Schools.
Tom was a huge sports fan and could
always be found coaching or attending
sporting events, especially ones that his
children or grandchildren were playing.
There is not a soccer or lacrosse field,
a wrestling mat or hockey rink in
New England that Tom didn’t know
about and where he could be found
coaching his players and children or
watching his grandchildren practice,
learn new skills, play sports and grow.
Tom was even known to attend a dance
studio on occasion to observe and
support Irish Step Dance Recitals for
his two lovely daughters or to watch
a cheerleading, ballet, play or dance
performance supporting his cherished
granddaughters.
Tom and Mary Lorraine will be
missed beyond words and the world is
a better and more opportunistic place
for having them train and educate us
all to love, achieve and succeed.
Tom’s family will receive friends
for visitation Sunday, July 25th from
4:00PM to 7:00PM at Eaton Funeral
Home, NEEDHAM. A Mass of Christian
Burial will take place on Monday, July
26th at 10:00AM at St. Joseph’s Church
in Needham. Tom will be laid to rest
and be at peace alongside his wife at St.
Mary’s Cemetery in Needham. In lieu
of flowers, donations may be made in
Tom’s memory to St. Jude Children’s
Research Hospital. To view Tom’s Mass

Purnell Choppin, 91; laid groundwork for virus research
By Clay Risen
NEW YORK TIMES

Purnell Choppin, whose research on how viruses multiply
helped lay the foundation for today’s fight against the COVID-19
pandemic, died July 3 at his
home in Washington, D.C., one
day shy of his 92nd birthday.
His daughter, Kathleen, said
the cause was prostate cancer.
Dr. Choppin, who was born,
raised, and educated in Louisiana, arrived at the Rockefeller
University in the New York City
borough of Manhattan in 1957,
just as a global influenza outbreak reached the city. He isolated six strains of the virus, including one from his own throat,
which were used to develop antiviral agents.
He then set himself on a decadeslong mission to discover
how viruses multiplied. He was
among the first to show how
they invade cells and turn them
into factories to produce more
viruses, work that was seminal
in vaccine development.
Dr. Choppin (pronounced
show-PAN) focused on measles
and influenza, but his research,
and the methods he developed
to conduct it, proved critical for
later work on other viruses, including severe acute respiratory
syndrome coronavirus 2, the virus behind the COVID pandemic, said David Baltimore, an
emeritus professor of biology at
the California Institute of Technology and a winner of the 1975
Nobel Prize in physiology or
medicine.
“The issue of how viruses infect cells was very much on his
mind, and the mechanisms he
worked out studying influenza
were central to thinking about
coronaviruses,” Baltimore said.
“Thanks to his work and that of
so many others, when the pandemic hit, we were able to formulate questions about the virus
in quite precise terms.”
Dr. Choppin was equally well
known as an administrator, first
at Rockefeller and then at Howard Hughes Medical Institute,
which hired him in 1985 as its
chief medical officer. He later
ran the institute for 12 years,
turning it from a modest-size research organization into a global
research powerhouse.

His death elicited an outpouring of remembrances from
some of the highest-profile figures in medicine, including Dr.
Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
“With Purnell’s passing,” he
said, “we have lost one of our
preeminent physician-scientists
and research administrators.”
George Purnell Whittington
Choppin was born in Baton
Rouge on July 4, 1929. His father, Arthur Choppin, was a
chemistry professor at Louisiana
State University, and his mother,
Eunice (Bolin) Choppin, was a
high school teacher.
In addition to his daughter,
he leaves his wife, Joan.
After he took over at the
Hughes institute, Dr. Choppin
liked to tell his colleagues a story
about meeting their famously reclusive benefactor. In 1938,
Hughes, an accomplished aviator as well as an industrialist,
was stopping in Baton Rouge to
refuel, and Arthur Choppin took
9-year-old Purnell and his brother, Arthur Jr., to see him. They
shook hands, but, he said, his
primary memory was that
Hughes was “very tall.”
Dr. Choppin graduated from
high school at 16 and entered
LSU, where he also attended
medical school. He received his
doctorate in 1953 and completed his residency at Washington
University in St . L ouis. He
served in the Air Force, in Japan,
from 1954 to 1955.
He began at Rockefeller University as a postdoctoral fellow
and was named a professor in
1959. He later moved into administration, and was a vice
president and dean of graduate
studies when the Hughes institute hired him away.
Howard Hughes had founded
the institute in 1953 and later
transferred his entire holdings
in the Hughes Aircraft Company
to it, for tax purposes, creating
an awkward arrangement in
which a medical-research nonprofit owned one of the country’s largest defense contractors.
Just weeks before Dr. Choppin arrived, the institute sold the
company to General Motors for
$5.2 billion, immediately maki n g i t o n e o f t h e c o u n t r y ’s

Dr. Choppin
(pictured circa
1958) was hailed
by Dr. Anthony
Fauci, head of the
National Institute
of Allergy and
Infectious
Diseases, as “one
of our preeminent
physicianscientists and
research
administrators.”

wealthiest philanthropies.
In 1987, the institute’s president was forced to resign after a
financial scandal, and Dr. Choppin was named to replace him.
Over the next decade, he built it
into a leading source of funding
for biomedical research, doling
out about $4.5 billion to hundreds of scientists, as well as for
undergraduate and high school
science education.
With an easygoing demeanor
that disguised a fierce ambition,
Dr. Choppin took an innovative
approach to funding. Unlike at
other institutions, which provide grants for specific projects,
he focused on identifying top researchers and then showering
them with money and resources.

Even better, he did not ask them
to move to the institute, in Chevy
Chase, Md. — they could stay
where they were and let the
Hughes largesse come to them.
Dr. Choppin thought that doing so was less disruptive and
made for better science, but it also made for great advertising,
promoting the Hughes brand
throughout the research world.
In 1988, The Washington
Post called the institute “the
modern version of the 15th century Medici family of Florence,”
adding that “instead of art, the
focus is medical science.”
Science magazine wrote that
in Dr. Choppin’s hands, the presidency of the Hughes institute
was “the most influential bio-

medical research job in the
world.”
Although Dr. Choppin was
sometimes criticized for making
safe bets on established scientists who probably didn’t need
his help, he made no apologies,
and had the track record to
prove the soundness of his approach: Dozens of Hughes researchers went on to become
members of the National Academy of Sciences, and six won the
Nobel Prize.
“We bet on people who look
like they are going to be winners,” he told the Post in 1988.
“You look for originality. How
they pick a problem and stick to
it. Their instinct for the scientific
jugular.”

Alice Clark Brown, pioneering Black star in a white circus, at age 68
By Neil Genzlinger
NEW YORK TIMES

As a young girl in Chicago in
the late 1950 s, Alice C lark
Brown was entranced by a television show called “Circus Boy,” especially the opening montage, in
which a character named Corky
rides a baby elephant.
“I used to really admire him
riding that elephant,” she said
years later.
Fast-forward a few years. The
child actor on the elephant,
billed at the time as Mickey
Braddock, became Micky Dolenz, one of the Monkees. And
Ms. Brown became an elephant
rider herself, with the Ringling
Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.
She is thought to be the first
Black showgirl in one of the two
touring companies of Ringling
Brothers.
Her riding feat, on a fullgrown beast, was considerably
more daring than Dolenz’s casual stroll. For one thing, the elephants were not strolling, as she
described in an oral history recorded at a 2017 reunion of circus performers.
“The number was called ‘The
Cakewalk Jamboree,’ and the elephants would come galloping
out,” she said, adding, “Then
they would stand on their hind
legs, so you were on the elephants, and you were way up
high.”
And then the elephants
would pivot earthward into a
headstand, the rider rocketing
forward with her animal. In other circuses, a rider might grab
the harness to maintain balance,
but not in the Ringling arena.
Photographs from the time show
Ms. Brown triumphantly astride
her headstanding elephant,
arms raised high, her elaborate
headdress perfectly in place.
“I had to learn how to let centrifugal force work with that so
that I could stay on and never
hold on, never never,” she said.
The effect was striking. “It
looks like I’m defying gravity,”
she said.

GEOFFREY F. BROWN SR. VIA NEW YORK TIMES

Ms. Brown (pictured with former clowns Steve Smith, left, and Chris Bricker at a 2017 reunion) is thought to be the first Black showgirl in a Ringling Brothers touring company.
Ms. Brown died on June 6 at
her home in Oak Park, Ill. She
was 68.
Her husband, Geoffrey F.
Brown, said the cause was interstitial lung disease.
Ms. Brown was with the circus from 1971 to 1974. She was
celebrated both for her arena acrobatics — she danced high
above the ground in aerial ballets — and for breaking a barrier.
“I think the circus is fun and
I’m glad to be here, not only for
myself but for Blacks in general,”
she told The Daily News of Philadelphia in 1972. “It is important
that they be represented in every
aspect of American life.”
Alice Ruth Clark was born on
Aug. 22, 1952, in Chicago. Her
father, Charles, worked at Libby,
McNeill & Libby, the cannedgoods company, and her mother,
Mattie (Miller) Clark, was a
homemaker.
She graduated from DuSable
High School in Chicago in 1969
and was a student at the University of Illinois when, in 1971, the
circus came to the International
Amphitheater in Chicago. She
was working there as an usher,

Vladimir
Menshov, 81;
surprise 1980
Oscar winner

and the interest she had developed watching “Circus Boy” was
reignited.
Ms. Brown tried out and in
December 1971 joined the circus, leaving college behind for
the moment. She was sent to the
circus’ training ground in Florida, where Antoinette Concello, a
famed performer who was then
aerial director for the circus,
helped her improve her dancing
and overcome her fear of
heights.
“Mrs. Concello said, ‘Now if
you don’t learn these tricks, girl,
we’re going to have to send you
home,’ ” she said in the oral history. “I was like, ‘Oh, no, I can’t
let that happen.’ I started practicing extra hard until finally, I
finally did the tricks along with
all the other girls, way up high.”
In 1972 she began performing in shows. She also became
something of a public face for
the circus, doing interviews with
newspapers and with Barbara
Walters on the “Today” show.
She was a rare Black star in
the Ringling arena at the time.
In the 19th century P.T. Barnum
had used Black performers odi-

ously, exhibiting them freakshow style, and almost a century
later few had been elevated to
star status.
When Ms. Brown joined, the
circus had two different troupes
touring, the Red Unit and the
Blue. The Red Unit had a Black
showgirl, Jackie Walker, but Ms.
Brown is believed to have been
the first Black showgirl to be
hired in the Blue group, Heidi
Connor, chief archivist at the
John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, Fla., told
the Chicago Sun-Times.
“When I first joined it was
kind of funny,” Ms. Brown told
The Daily News of Philadelphia
se ven months into the job.
“Some people acted like they
didn’t like Black people. Now everybody has gotten used to me,
and things are much better.”
Touring the South, she occasionally experienced discrimination familiar to earlier generations of Black performers.
“I noticed those confederate
flags and the John Birch Society
signs,” she said in the oral history. “I thought, ‘Careful; be very
careful.’ Sure enough, there were

places there in the South . . . that
wouldn’t serve me.”
Most of her memories,
though, were pleasant. She especially enjoyed her time on the
circus train, and exploring cities
where the show stopped. Her
younger sister, Anna Clark,
joined her in New York, Detroit,
Baltimore, Houston, and others,
and they would travel around
town together.
“She would say, ‘Hey, this is
an interesting looking place;
why don’t you come see me?’ ”
Clark said in a phone interview.
“I took my first plane ride because of her.”
“The world was our oyster,”
she added. “We were trying to
find out how many pearls we
could locate.”
After the 1974 season Ms.
Brown left the circus, thinking
she might travel to Europe and
sign on with a small circus there,
but when her mother had a
stroke, that plan fell by the wayside. Soon after, while working
as a tour guide at Johnson Publishing in Chicago, she met Geoffrey Brown, who was on the staff
of its Jet magazine. They married in 1977. (Geoffrey Brown
eventually became a top editor
at the Chicago Tribune.)
While raising a family, Alice
Brown dabbled in other types of
performing in the Chicago area,
appearing in plays, playing piano, and singing and appearing
as an extra in a few movies.
Geoffrey Brown said that
when the circus would come
through Chicago in later years,
they would sometimes attend,
and she would always make a
point of seeing if anyone she
knew from the old days was
among the cast and crew.
Some three decades after she
had interrupted her studies, she
returned to school, earning an
English degree at the University
of Illinois at Chicago in 2004.
In addition to her husband
and her sister, Ms. Brown leaves
a son, Geoffrey Jr.; a daughter,
Christina L. Brown; and a brother, Gerry Clark.

Vladimir Menshov, the prolific Soviet actor and director
whose film “Moscow Does Not
Believe in Tears” won the Academy Award in 1980 for best foreign-language film but was
panned by many American critics, died on July 5 in a hospital in
Moscow. He was 81.
Mosfilm, the Russian film
studio and production company,
said the cause was complications
of COVID-19.
“Moscow Does Not Believe in
Tears,” a soapy, melodramatic
crowd-pleaser, attracted some
90 million moviegoers in the Soviet Union even after it had been
broadcast on television, not long
after it was released theatrically
in 1980. Its theme song, “Alexandra,” written by Sergey Nikitin
and Tatyana Nikitina, became
one of the country’s most beloved pieces of movie music.
Even so, when “Moscow,” only the second film Mr. Menshov
had directed, won the Oscar, it
was a surprise, given the competition that year. It edged out
François Truffaut’s “The Last
Metro” and Akira Kurosawa’s
“The Shadow Warrior,” as well as
the Spanish director Jaime de
Armiñán’s “The Nest” and the
Hungarian director Istvan Szabo’s “Confidence.”
“ T here was more condescending good will than aesthetic discrimination behind the Oscar voted to ‘Moscow,’ ” Gary Arnold of The Washington Post
wrote when he reviewed the
film, which was released in the
United States after its Oscar victory.
The film follows three girls
quartered at a Moscow hotel for
young women in the late 1950s
as they hunt for male companionship, and then revisits them
20 years later. It starred Vera
Alentova, the director’s wife and
the mother of their daughter,
Yuliya Menshova. They both survive him.
Arnold noted that Mr. Menshov’s movie “revives a genre
Hollywood has failed to sustain,
reliable as it would seem: the
chronicle of provincial girls, usually a trio, in pursuit of careers
and/or mates in the big city” — a
genre that ranged chronologically, at the time, from “Stage Door”
(1938) to “Valley of the Dolls”
(1967).
Vincent Canby of The New
York Times conceded that the
film was “decently acted” but
said that at 2½ hours, it “seems
endless.”
“There are suggestions of social satire from time to time,”
Canby wrote, “but they are so
mild they could surprise and interest only an extremely prudish, unreconstructed Stalinist.”
While he considered it understandable that “Moscow” was
one of the Soviet Union’s most
successful films, Canby concluded, “One can also believe that
portion of Mr. Menshov’s biography (contained in the program)
that reports he failed his first
three years at the Cinema Institute in Moscow and wasn’t much
more successful as an acting student with the Moscow Art Theater.
“I assume we are told these
things,” he added tartly, “to underscore the lack of meaning in
these early failures, which, however, appear to be summed up in
his Oscar winner.”
Vladimir Valentinovich Menshov was born on Sept. 17, 1939,
to a Russian family in Baku (now
in Azerbaijan). His father, Valentin, was an officer with the secret
police. His mother, Antonina
Aleksandrovna (Dubovskaya)
Menshov, was a homemaker.
As a teenager, Vladimir held
blue-collar jobs as a machinist, a
miner, and a sailor before being
admitted to the Moscow Art
Theater School. After graduating
from the school in 1965 and
from the Gerasimov Institute of
Cinematography in 1970, he
worked for the Mosfilm, Lenfilm, and Odessa Film studios.
He had more than 100 credits as an actor, including in the
hit “Night Watch” (2004), and
was also a screenwriter. He
made his debut as a director in
1976 with the film “Practical
Joke.”

The trek for Arctic dinosaurs to understand climate change
By Emily Schwing
WASHINGTON POST

“Did you find one?” Tony
Fiorillo yelled to his colleague,
Yoshitsugu Kobayashi. The two
paleontologists were climbing
over dumpster-sized sandstone
boulders, scanning the long,
rocky beach of Aniakchak National Monument & Preserve at
low tide for dinosaur footprints.
“I think so,” Kobayashi called
back. They have been coming to
one of Alaska's most remote
coastlines since 2016 to search
for evidence of Late Cretaceous
era dinosaurs.
Sedimentologist Paul McCarthy is part of the adventure. “I
specialize in the mud between
the [dinosaur] toes,” McCarthy
joked. It's a quip he once made
on a local public radio show.
Fiorillo has never let him forget
it. “It was one of the few times
you were witty,” Fiorillo, an expert on Arctic dinosaurs, said
with a laugh. “A guy remembers
things like that.”
This was the first official day
of fieldwork for the three intrepid scientists who spent eight
days in July searching for footprints in an effort to reconstruct
the dinosaurs’ ecosystem and explain how they survived here for
what may have been tens of
thousands of years.
“They weren't just tourists.
They were living, breeding, doing things that dinosaurs did to
be successful,” said Fiorillo, a se-

nior research fellow at Southern
Methodist University in Dallas.
And what they discover could
have significance as Alaska grapples with climate change.
“We have argued that looking
to the past can help inform
where the future might go,” Fiorillo said. “We think that this stuff
can help to contribute to our understanding of modeling what
warming in a higher latitude environment means now.”
There was no guarantee they
would find anything on this trip,
but getting here at all seemed
nothing short of a miracle.
A geologist who led expeditions in Alaska from 1927 to
1962 nicknamed Aniakchak “the
cradle of storms.” The notoriously nasty weather here marooned
the three in the hub community
of King Salmon for nearly six
days before they could fly out to
Aniakchak.
“It's beautiful everywhere, except where you guys wanna go,”
Troy Hamon, a National Park
Service pilot, said jokingly during a phone call on day three of
the weather delay. “I was kind of
hoping for better weather this
morning,” Fiorillo lamented on
day four. A day and a half later,
the fog lifted and sheets of rain
relented enough so that a small
seaplane could make the run to a
tiny cabin that sits on a sandy
bluff overlooking the deep blue
Aniakchak Bay.
The near century-old build-

ing, with rusty, gray metal siding, is on the National Historic
register and was operated as a
salmon cannery in the 1930s.
The scientists hunkered down
here for yet another day to wait
out high winds and sideways
rain, further dampening both
the landscape and their spirits.
Fiorillo began his search for
dinosaurs in Alaska more than
20 years ago, when he received
“a modest amount of funding”
from the National Park Service
to do a basic paleontology survey at Aniakchak.
“It could have come off as a
boondoggle to see somebody
from Dallas come to Alaska and
say, ‘Can I look for dinosaurs
here?’” Fiorillo said.
On the last day of his first
journey here, with a floatplane
already in the air to pick him up,
Fiorillo found what he'd come
for: the cast of a single footprint
protruding from some grayish
sandstone. The three toes and
the telltale notched heel were
sure signs that plant-eating,
duck-billed dinosaurs, known as
hadrosaurs, lived here. The discovery launched Fiorillo's career.
This month, he and Kobayashi, a paleontology professor at Japan's Hokkaido University Museum and an expert on
dinosaurs in Mongolia, China,
and Japan, stood over a kitchenappliance-sized hunk of sandstone, marveling at knobbly,
rounded shapes protruding

from the boulder's surface. The
chunkier pieces sticking out
from the rock were dinosaur
toes, obvious signals that more
than one hadrosaur set its foot
right into this muck before it
hardened 70 million years ago.
Eventually, the two agreed
that the block holds three definite footprints.
Over the course of the next
week, the scholars would not only discover dozens of new dinosaur tracks but also collect samples of fossilized plant material
and organic matter.
“I think we have a pretty
good handle on what the environment was like,” said McCarthy, chair of the Geosciences
Department at the University of
Alaska at Fairbanks and an expert on fossil soils, known as paleosols.
At Aniakchak, he is most interested in the gray mudstones
and yellowish sandstones
stacked on each other like layers
of a cake. They stretch for about
a mile along the beach and make
up what's known as the Chignik
formation. Running through the
middle, like thick chocolate ganache, is a dark, reddish-brown
band of rocks. McCarthy spent
three years mapping these layers. He's back this year to sample
that thicker layer of paleosol.
Back at his lab in Fairbanks
this fall, McCarthy will test those
samples for their geochemical
makeup: major elements and

stable isotopes. That data will
help explain more about what
both the climate and environment were like here during the
Late Cretaceous, roughly 70 million years ago.
“The rocks are really interesting, but when you put them together with the paleontology, it
just kind of makes the story
come even more alive so the interest factor goes way up,” McCarthy said.
A few days into the trip, McCarthy used a hammer and chisel to break small chunks of the
paleosols away from the outcrop. In the distance, Kobayashi
was perched on a giant boulder,
bent over a tablet computer,
scrolling through entries on a
mapping application. At his feet
was a round, beachball-sized
rock. Every single one of the 112
dinosaur tracks the team has
found in Aniakchak is entered
into Kobayashi's tablet. Each entry includes GPS coordinates,
photos, and accompanying field
notes.
“Dinosaurs lived in a harsh
environment — in an Arctic environment,” Kobayashi said. He's
exploring the faunal connections between Asia and Alaska.
“Hadrosaurs are the most successful plant eating dinosaurs,”
he said. Evidence that hadrosaurs ranged from present day
Colorado north all the way to
Alaska has Kobayashi considering whether the same animals

found here are related to those
that thrived in Japan and other
parts of Asia.
As he looked at the map on
his tablet, which holds a half-decade's worth of field notes, Kobayashi said that walking this
beach and looking through the
various layers of sediment is like
walking straight through the
story of the dinosaurs here, from
beginning to end.
Every day when the three scientists return from the field to
the cabin, they sit around a table
or out on the deck and discuss
their findings. They all say it's
easy to imagine what this place
may have been like millions of
years ago. In some places, there
are signs that a river ran through
here, just like the Aniakchak
River that flows into the bay today. Farther down the beach, the
sediments hold evidence of an
estuary, much like the one that
exists now at the mouth of the
river.
There are still discoveries to
make about dinosaur life in Aniakchak. Fiorillo dreams of taking his exploration inland to
search for the fossilized skeletal
remains of the very same hadrosaurs who once roamed the region's beaches.
“It’s just the first bone” said
Fiorillo, who has developed a
keen eye for spotting footprints.
“Our eyes are not trained for
them. . . . It’s just finding the
first one.”

Rabbit
unrest
They are adorable. Also, I
want to throttle them.
Is it just me, or are
rabbits suddenly everywhere?
Before last year, nary a
one had ventured into my
yard, as far as I could tell.
When I spotted one hopping out from beneath the rhododendron
last summer, I was utterly delighted. So
cute! So fluffy! So true to the goldwrapped chocolate kind I scarf down at
Easter!
But now they are legion. And they are
bold.
At first we convinced ourselves there
was only one. We named him Gerald and
welcomed him as a safely distant member
of the family. But early one morning Gerald was in three places at once, and the
truth was revealed.
His mob has feasted on my kale, beheaded my Asiatic lilies, bitten to nubs the
stems of all but one of my sunflowers, the
lone survivor a mocking reminder of what
might have been. They appear mostly
alone, but sometimes in gangs, gorging
themselves right out in the open. Sometimes they will freeze, trying to disappear,
which is an insult to my intelligence.
Sometimes they just keep stuffing their
sweet little faces, staring me down as they
ingest the fruits of my many labors.
Some of them really seem to have an attitude, like they’re daring me to chase
them off — Bugs Bunnies to my Elmer
Fudd. For animals who eat their own
poop, they seem incredibly sure of themselves.
Sorry, but that’s what they do. After destroying my treasures, they go off and produce soft green droppings, which they eat
again to extract more nutrients. Gross.
I learned this and many other rabbit
facts from Marion Larson, the delightful
head of information and education at
Mass Wildlife. But she couldn’t answer my
main question: Has there been some kind
of rabbit population explosion this year?
She says her department has heard
from many more residents reporting wildlife sightings last year and this, but she
puts it down to more observation, rather
than more animals: A lot of folks, at home
day after day during the pandemic, were
noticing the creatures outside the window
for the first time. A definitive measure of
wildlife is hard to come by in any case, she
said, because the animals won’t sit still for
a census.
“No one can tell you there are more
rabbits this year than last year, because it’s
impossible to count them,” she said.
Fair enough, but you don’t need a calculator to see that the little critters are,
um, multiplying, and possibly plotting
some kind of takeover.
Eastern cottontails — grayish- or reddish-brown, with long ears and white
pom-pom tails — aren’t native to New
England. They were brought up from the
mid-Atlantic states by hunters in the late
1800s, for sport. Even for rabbits, they are
prolific breeders: They give birth two to
four times between March and early fall,
with three to eight bunnies per litter. And
those babies are fully independent loners
within five weeks.
But the poor little furballs have so
many enemies — foxes, coyotes, raccoons,
hawks, cats and dogs, among others —
that only 15 percent of them survive their
first year. Aw, how can you stay mad at
them?
Around here, a bunch of them are getting carried off by coyotes, who also seem
to be more numerous and bold this year,
their bone-chilling howls piercing the
night. Again, Larson says it’s hard to say if
there are actually more coyotes, or if we’re
just more aware of them. Or maybe we
just don’t intimidate them any more: They
roam the streets like they own them.
This red-in-tooth-and-claw stuff is
scary, exciting, humbling.
We humans think we run this place,
and we mostly do. We live at the top of the
food chain, but we keep preying on ourselves. We’ve wrecked the planet trying to
bend it to our will. We found a way to end
a deadly global pandemic, but millions of
us refuse to make it happen. We act like
we own everything. But, in little ways, nature defies us.
Humans have had a lousy year, but the
rabbits are having a spectacular one. Good
for you, team Leporidae! Go ahead and
celebrate. And wander. My neighbors’ gardens look delicious.

Provincetown navigates
another COVID summer
As out-of-towners
return, outbreak
prompts worry
By Laura Crimaldi

and Jack Lyons
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

P R O V I N C E T O W N — Po p - u p
COVID-19 testing sites. Mask advisories. Vaccination proof required for
entry at some businesses.
The highly contagious COVID-19
Delta variant is an uninvited guest
this summer in Provincetown and its
menacing presence is threatening the
busy season in this vacation town for
the second year in a row and sickening residents despite a high local vaccination rate — just as tourism was
beginning to roar back to life.
“It has been crazy,” said Elspeth
Slayter, a Provincetown resident who
said she has been careful throughout
the pandemic and was among the
hundreds of people who were waiting
for a COVID-19 test Saturday morning at the Veterans Memorial Community Center. “It started early this
year, and people have been just letting loose.”
On Friday, the state Department of
Public Health announced the Delta
variant had been detected in a cluster
of COVID-19 cases that originated in
Provincetown, a community of 3
square miles and vacation destination where summer visitors expand
the population from 3,000 to 60,000.
This year, businesses hoped for an
economic rebound after the pandemic kept tourists away last year.
The town has been tracking a
spike in cases for about two weeks, rePROVINCETOWN, Page B4

It’s been almost four decades
since the state put an end to
“happy hour ” for alcoholic
drinks in Massachusetts. A new
bill looks to open a conversation
about bringing it back.
The legislation, filed by Representative Mike Connolly, a
Democrat who represents Cambridge and Somerville, aims to
revisit the state’s ban on happyhour drinking that went into effect in 1984 amid a push to combat drunk driving.
Part of the driving force behind Connolly’s effort is a recent
poll from MassInc that shows 70
percent of Massachusetts residents would support ending the
ban on happy hours.
The bill would not end the
ban itself but could kick off a dialogue between stakeholders
over whether it should remain.
“This would be a big change,
and I don’t presume to have all
the answers, but I think it’s clear
for a number of reasons that
there’s interest to, at the very
least, have that conversation and
see if we can find consensus,”
Connolly said in an interview
Thursday.
The bill also seeks to make
permanent some of the changes
to dining regulations that
emerged during the pandemic,
including outdoor seating, caps
on delivery apps, and allowing
alcoholic drinks to be ordered
for takeout and delivery.
Connolly said a hearing on
the bill will likely take place this
fall. He said he is working with
House counsel on the bill’s final
language, which will be released
in the coming days.
Among the reasons Connolly
says it is time to revisit the ban
on happy-hour drink specials is
the rise of ride-sharing apps,
which have given patrons a new
set of options for ways of getting
to and from their favorite restaurants and bars.
“We recognize why there was
the push to ban happy hours in
the first place,” he said. “Nowadays with Uber and Lyft, . . . it’s a

R.I. residents fight to keep backyard chickens
In East Providence, a
familiar battle is playing
out over the state bird
By Brian Amaral
GLOBE STAFF

EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Beth Galligan’s
seven hens all have their own personalities, from
the shy and retiring fluffball Biscuits to the brassy
and bold Winnie, her favorite,
who likes to jump up on her
shoulder and sit there like a
swashbuckling parrot.
But they are all alike in one
way: They are fugitives of a sort.
Fugitives from the law in East
Providence, which says you cannot keep fowl unless you live in a type of agricultural zone that is
becoming vanishingly rare.
Galligan is trying to change that, she said, as
she walked around her spacious backyard with
her 3-year-old daughter, Harper, and the feathered girls she considers part of her family.
“I walk out the door and they just come running,” she said. “I was surprised by how connected I was to them.”
In the four months she’s had them, Galligan
hasn’t received any complaints from neighbors,

DEDHAM

One dead, one seriously injured in crash
One man died and another sustained serious injuries after they
were pulled from an overturned submerged car in a flooded gully
in Dedham early Saturday, according to State Police. The passenger, identified by the Norfolk district attorney’s office as Liam
Fitzgerald, 27, of West Roxbury, was taken to a nearby hospital,
where he was pronounced dead. The second occupant, believed
to be the driver, was hospitalized in serious condition, State Police spokesman David Procopio said. He has since been treated
and released, according to the district attorney’s office. Troopers
responded to a rollover crash on Interstate 95 northbound at the
University Avenue exit at 4:20 a.m., Procopio said in a statement.
A Toyota RAV4 had flipped over on the infield between the roadway and the ramp and landed upside down in several feet of water, Procopio said. Multiple troopers entered the gully and pulled
the victims from the car, which was completely underwater, the
statement said.

Math Trail inspires creative thinking
Installation aims
to improve math
literacy in kids
By Ivy Scott
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

Dozens of elementary-age
children, giggling and shouting,
galloped and hopped across the
Magazine Beach pedestrian
bridge Saturday morning for the
grand opening of the new Math
Trail.
Designed by the Charles River Conservancy and tech company MathTalk, in partnership
with community members and
the Department of Conservation
and Recreation, the installation’s
goal is to improve math literacy
for low-income students while
increasing opportunities to learn
in nature, according to Keith
Griffin, the lead organizer for
family and community engagement at MathTalk.
“Resources don’ t always
make it into these areas,” he
said, “and we knew if we wanted
change for our community, we’d
have to put a footprint down and
do it ourselves.”
And the dull concrete walkway of the pedestrian bridge was
indeed brightened with footprints, along with multicolored
numbers, geometric shapes, and
animal tracks. Red, yellow, and
blue lines measured the distance
from place to place at 3-foot intervals, encouraging kids to look
for patterns as they crossed the
bridge.
Two-year-old Nirona Ashar
jumped eagerly from line to line,
passing numbers that counted
higher and higher as the bridge
curved into the sky. Her mother,
Shana Ashar, said she was excited to have a place in the neighborhood where her daughter
could come to play — and learn
at the same time.
“She’s the perfect age for this,
because it’s all about counting
and measuring,” Ashar said.
The installation reminded
her of the Harvard Bridge, once
famously measured by MIT students using the fictional units
“smoots,” she said, but this one
was custom made for children.

A young child was seriously injured after falling from a secondfloor window in Marblehead Friday night, according to police.
Officers responded to a report of a child falling out of a window
around 10:30 p.m. and arrived to find that a 4-year-old from
Marblehead had fallen and was injured, the department said in a
statement Saturday. They immediately performed first aid on the
child. Marblehead Fire Department and EMS crews arrived
shortly after. The child, whom police did not identify, was taken
to a local hospital with serious injuries, according to police. State
Police and Marblehead police detectives are investigating.

SAUGUS

Truck bursts into flames after crash
A 36-year-old woman from Waltham and a 33-year-old man from
Haverhill were seriously injured early Saturday after a box truck
the woman was driving rolled over and erupted in flames in Saugus. Police responded to the crash on Route 1 South, near a CVS
north of Main Street at 5:18 a.m., State Police said in a statement.
The truck burst into flames after the crash, and emergency responders pulled the man and woman from the vehicle, police
said. Both were taken to Massachusetts General Hospital with serious injuries. A “large amount” of fuel spilled into the parking lot
of a nearby CVS, with fire officials assisting the cleanup. Environmental Protection officials went to the scene to assess hazards
caused by the fuel, according to State Police. Officials say the vehicle that crashed is a 2016 Toyota box truck owned and registered by Chubby Fish Inc., a Maine buyer and exporter of bluefin
tuna. The crash remains under investigation by State Police.

DRACUT

Boy seriously injured in rollover crash

JOHN TLUMACKI/GLOBE STAFF

Misty Lainez, a 9-year-old from Cambridge, held an iPad over her head to look at a virtualreality view of animals floating in the sky near the bridge.
“It uses objects that little kids
are familiar with, like paws or dinosaur feet,” she said.
Nirona’s grandmother, Mary
Pepin, said it also offers fun for
adults who can let their inner
child out to play.
“It’s neat if you can think like
a kid, too,” she said with a smile.
The installation is accompanied by its own app, Measure!
Everything!, created by the
MathTalk team to be adaptable
to any environment, not just the
park. Using augmented reality
and the iPad’s camera function,
the app overlays images of animals and other objects onto the
user’s surroundings, visible
through the screen.
At the park, kids held their
iPads out in front of them to
measure the length of the bridge
in wolves, or the height of a tree
in anacondas.
Jasmine Lainez watched her
three children as they zipped
across the bridge and back into
the park, leaping onto the tire
swing with iPad in hand. Lainez
said that she saw the event on
Facebook the night before and
that it piqued her interest
enough to bring her kids across

Cambridge via bus on a Saturday
morning to the bridge.
Her two oldest children were
into math, she said, but the
youngest was a natural artist
who often felt discouraged by
math, telling her mother, “There
are always problems I can’ t
solve.”
“She just needs a real-world
application, because she does
math all the time and doesn’t realize it,” said Lainez.
Sitting crisscross on the
ground, Harmony quietly made
herself a profile on the iPad and
tapped “6” for her age before
shyly angling the screen away as
the first game started. Seconds
later, however, the sight of a caterpillar prompted her to confidently rattle off a list of butterfly
species.
“It could become a swallowtail, or a painted lady, or a monarch!” she said.
“Making math accessible for
kids is important, so that kids
who have a complex about it will
see that they can do it, too,” she
said.
Angeline UyHam, a designer
with MathTalk and a design and
innovation coach for the Cam-

bridge school district, said the
process of creating the Math
Trail involved a student workshop, where students engaged in
drawing, dreaming, and “a lot of
dancing.”
“The kids get that math lives
everywhere — in the geese, in
the bridge, in the park, and in
you,” UyHam said.
“ What kids are craving is
novelty and impact, and even
thinking about outdoor spaces
was meaningful and joyful at a
time like this,” she said.
Come September, more activities will be offered for students
along the trail, said Laura Jasinski, executive director of the
Conservancy. Jasinski said she
was hopeful that another installation would be developed soon
at the Charles River Reservation,
ideally with a bike route connecting the two.
“This is about extending the
classroom across the street into
the park,” she said. “Every time
kids come, they’ll see something
new they can engage with.”

A boy suffered serious injuries, and two girls were also hurt, after
they were involved in a rollover crash in Dracut early Saturday
morning, police said. The crash happened near the intersection
of Lakeview and Doyle avenues around 2:30 a.m., Dracut police
said in a statement. When emergency responders arrived, they
found a damaged utility pole and a vehicle that had rolled onto
its side. A male juvenile, who is believed to have been the driver,
was found lying in the roadway with significant trauma, police
said. He was taken to a local hospital with serious injuries. A girl
was pulled from the vehicle, and a second girl was found leaning
against the vehicle, police said. Both were taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Their ages and identities
were not released. The crash is under investigation, police said.

GROTON

Teen who drowned in river identified
The Middlesex District Attorney’s office Saturday identified Austin Aryee, 17, of Leominster as the teenager who drowned while
swimming with his friends in the Squannacook River in Groton
three days earlier. Officials said the river was running a strong
current due to recent heavy rainfall when Aryee went underwater
at 3:19 p.m. Wednesday. He was found more than an hour later
by firefighters and was taken to an area hospital, where he was
pronounced dead.

SUNDAY’S swimming. She
CHILD
also loves to
ride her bike,
do arts and crafts, make slime,
and go to amusement parks.
She does well with one-onone attention. She has two teen
foster brothers in her foster
home who she looks up to as role
models and for guidance.
Ja y d e n d o e s b e s t w i t h a
strong routine in the morning
when getting up, getting
dressed, and getting herself
ready for school.

Jayden loves to ride her bike
and do arts and crafts.

Jayden will need one-on-one attention from her new family.
This could be a two-parent or a
single-parent family with no other children in the home or a female child close in age to
Jayden. Structure and routine in
her new home are extremely important to Jayden.
Jayden has older siblings in
foster care and in adoptive families in Western Massachusetts
with whom she will need to
maintain contact. She would also like to maintain a lifelong
connection with a previous foster family.

Who can adopt?
Jayden is loving, caring, and
determined. Her foster mother
describes her as very technologically savvy.
Legally freed for adoption,

Can you provide the guidance, love, and stability that a
child needs? If you’re at least 18
years old, have a stable source of
income, and room in your heart,

you may be a perfect match to
adopt a waiting child.
Adoptive parents can be single, married, or partnered; experienced or not; renters or homeowners; LGBTQ singles and couples.
The process to adopt a child
from foster care requires training, interviews, and home visits
to determine if adoption is right
for you, and if so, to help connect you with a child or sibling
group that your family will be a
good match for.
To learn more about adoption from foster care, call the
Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange (MARE) at
617-964-6273 or visit www.mareinc.org. The sooner you call,
the sooner a waiting child will
have a permanent place to call
home.

$75m purchase
of River House
boosts capacity
By Alexa Gagosz
GLOBE STAFF

PROVIDENCE — Brown University is expanding its student
housing inventory in the Jewelry
District.
On Thursday, the university
announced it had acquired the
River House for $75 million,
which has the capacity to house
270 students in a mix of 174 studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments.
Brown Provost Richard
L oc ke s a i d t h e d e a l , w h i c h
closed Thursday, is addressing a
need for Brown students seeking
affordable, high-quality housing
options that are close to campus
while also alleviating the impact
that the demand for off-campus
units has had on local neighborhoods throughout Providence.
According to Brian Clarke,
the university’s spokesman, the
acquisition marks a significant
investment in the “graduate student experience” at Brown and
in the Jewelry District after
Brown has already invested
more than $225 million over the
last decade in projects that include South Street Landing and
its expansive space in the Wexford Innovation Center.
Clarke also said this purchase
comes at a cost “significantly
less” than what new construction would require.
Prior to this purchase, the
university provided housing to
about 80 graduate students each
year, or approximately 2.5 percent of the total graduate and
medical student population. Leah VanWey, dean of the School of
Professional Studies, said that

LANE TURNER/GLOBE STAFF

The River House in Providence has the capacity to house 270
students in a mix of 174 apartments.
doctoral and master’s students
have recently reported increasing difficulty in finding affordable housing that is close to campus.
“ You have so much else to
worry about during the transition to graduate student life,
from finding your classes to
working with your professors
and finding your lab. You don’t
want to add worries about how
to navigate the local housing
market and get your new apartment running, too,” said VanWey.
Because Brown acquired
the housing development
through a subsidiar y, there
will not be a disruption of the
continuity of River House’s
tax revenue to the city, said
Clarke. Brown will directly assume the tax stabilization agreement, or TSA, in place with the

property’s current owner.
The property was recently assessed by the city this year at
$23,698,400. The previous owner, River House Project Owner
LLC, paid $141,506 in property
taxes to Providence in 2019, according to city records.
Over time, the university will
fully transition the building
from private leases, which are
currently held by renters unaffiliated with the university and a
mix of Brown students, to all
Brown University students.
Clarke said the university will
honor all existing leases and will
maintain retail space in the
building for commercial use by
the existing tenants.

PROVIDENCE — The leaders
of Rhode Island’s two predominant hospital systems said they
are about two months away
from completing their merger
application.
In an exclusive interview
with The Boston Globe on
Thursday, Dr. Timothy J. Babineau, Lifespan Corp.’s chief executive, and Dr. James E. Fanale,
Care New England’s chief executive, confirmed that they are
looking to complete all of the
necessary filings to all regulatory parties by “mid-to-late September.”
“We’re spending a tremendous amount of time answering
the questions, providing documentation, and going through
what is a very normal, routine
regulatory review process,” said
Babineau. The September deadline is “pretty ambitious. But
we’ve got our teams literally
working around the clock to
meet that deadline.”
The two systems had filed
their merger application with
state regulators on April 26 after
filing with the Federal Trade
Commission on April 14.
Once the filings are in, the
FTC will have 75 days to render
an opinion and the state will
have a 120 day deadline. It’s likely, the presidents said, that the
agencies will announce their decisions on the applications by
the end of this year or in early
2022.
Earlier this year, Fanale and
Babineau had discussions with
House Speaker Joe Shekarchi, a
Warwick Democrat, and Senate
President Dominick Ruggerio, a
North Providence Democrat,
about granting a “certificate of
public advantage,” or COPA,
which could allow the state to
approve a hospital merger that
could be viewed as “anticompetitive” from the perspective of the
FTC.
Fa n a l e s a i d t h e s y s t e m s
agreed with legislators and the

attorney general’s office to take
the “traditional path” through
the FTC, but a certificate of public advantage could still be on
the table.
“The COPA option is another
option if the FTC proves problematic and doesn’t want to allow the merger to occur,” said
Fanale. “We agree with all of the
local government officials that ...
let’s go the traditional route.
Let’s see where that takes us. It’s
our full-fledged effort to do that.
When we get to the conclusion,
hopefully it’s allowed to go
through.”
Shekarchi, who has been outspoken about protecting jobs
and care access at Kent Hospital,
previously told the Globe that he
has “full confidence” in the attorney general’s office to review
the merger application and
“make the right decision for
Rhode Islanders.”
Lifespan owns Rhode Island,
Miriam, Hasbro Children’s,
Newport, and Bradley hospitals
and is known for its work in
neurology, cardiology, orthopedics, pediatrics, and cancer
treatment and care. Care New
England owns Women & Infants, Kent, and Butler hospitals
and has expertise in family medicine, obstetrics, gynecology,
neonatology, and adult psychiatry.
In mid-February, the systems
had announced that they had
signed a definitive agreement to
merge and create an integrated
academic health system with
Brown University. In the proposed deal, Brown also committed a minimum of $125 million
over five years to support the development of the academic
health system. The integrated
system would be designed to
have a full array of complementary medical specialties and biomedical research to remain on
the leading edge of treatment
and therapies.
Babineau said he, Fanale,
and Brown President Christina
H. Paxson have had weekly dis-

cussions with community stakeholders and business community leaders to hear their concerns
about the proposed deal.
“There are concerns, and we
want to hear them. We aren’t
waiting for the Department of
Health to convene the mandatory public hearings,” said Babineau.
He said they are reaching out
to “anyone we can get in front of
that we think is an important
constituent.”
The systems have attempted
to merge several times in the
past, dating back to the 1990s.
In a relatively small market, the
competitors have had their own
set of financial pressures, which
have been heightened due to the
COVID-19 pandemic.
Fanale said the systems are
working to develop their quality
metrics, specific commitments,
and cost-savings estimates.
Many critics of the merger have
said that it could lead to less
competition, as the merged entity would create a system with 80
percent market share in the
state, and would potentially increase overall health care costs.
“Everyone is asking about the
premiums. [They are asking]
what about costs? We are simultaneously working on those answers, which we will provide,”
said Fanale. “We’re not saying
we can’t tell you [how this proposed merger] could save money. We’re trying to get a cogent,
well-described presentation that
we can commit to, work with
regulators on, that satisfies their
needs, and can be monitored
based on the implementation of
that plan.”
Babineau said, “We’re doing
a lot of work to try to be as specific as possible to address those
concerns. It can’t just be ‘trust
me it will.’ We don’t have that
entire story crafted yet, but we
hope to in the next several
weeks.”

and zoning enforcement hasn’t
come knocking on her door. But
she got involved in trying to
change the law with another
East Providence chicken enthusiast, Lorna Steele.
A few weeks ago, Steele received a letter from local zoning
officials about her eight chickens, which she’s had for two
months. Now she’s facing the
prospect of having to find another home for them, unless they
can persuade East Providence to
change its zoning laws.
“They are really, really important to me,” Steele said in a
phone interview. “I get a great
deal of pleasure from taking
care of them and talking to
them.
“These aren’t just chickens in
a coop,” she said. “These are my
little friends.”
It is a story that has played
out for the past decade or so in
towns around Rhode Island,
whose official state bird is a
chicken.
People want to keep chickens, both for pets — Galligan
and Steele consider them a form
of emotional support — and for
their eggs. People involved in
battling on behalf of chickens
say their appreciation for sustainable and local food sources
increased when they were
cooped up during the COVID-19
pandemic, a time of toilet paper
shortages and anxiety-inducing
grocery store runs.
But these efforts can sometimes run into roadblocks on the
local level, where some opponents cite pests or predators that
chickens might attract. The debate happened a decade ago in
Woonsocket and Providence,
where people found their way to
compromise. A backyard battle
has been playing out in Cumberland, and recently the antichicken forces came out ahead.
In East Providence, Steele
and Galligan — who both said

they thought they could have
chickens on their properties —
have been working with Councilor Anna Sousa to write an ordinance that would allow them
to keep the animals. Sousa is
planning to introduce a narrower proposal at first, which would
allow people to keep chickens as
emotional support animals,
with some form of proof that
they need them for that purpose,
like a doctor’s note.
One family who keeps chickens for this purpose has run into
trouble with the city, prompting
legal action that the city’s insurance carrier is dealing with.
That situation is before the
Rhode Island Commission for
Human Rights.
But Sousa is also looking at
broader proposals to allow people to keep chickens for other
purposes, while keeping in mind
concerns about the noise they
might make or the pests they
might attract. East Providence
has a significant Portuguese
population, and having a couple

hens for eggs is something many
people grew up with in the old
country.
“I’m a daughter of a farmer,”
Sousa said. “I can appreciate
having farm animals, but not to
the extreme where it becomes a
nuisance.”
Mayor Robert DaSilva declined comment through a
spokeswoman. But his office
said in an e-mailed statement
that the administration was

working with Councilman Nathan Cahoon and the planning
and zoning departments to
“evaluate a potential ordinance.”
Cahoon said in an interview
that there has to be some limit,
to deal with concerns like predators or noise, but he noted that
the city recently passed a law allowing the use of fire pits and
made a comparison.
“ Whether it’s fire pits or
home offices or raising chickens,

people want to be self-sufficient.
Hey, let’s do it,” Cahoon said.
If East Providence wants to
see how this might play out, it
need only look west.
Providence — significantly
more urban than East Providence — passed a law in 2010 allowing people to keep up to six
hens (no roosters). The law has a
number of requirements, including space restrictions, predator-proof enclosures, and keeping hens corralled between 9
p.m. and 8 a.m., but they have
become popular enough that if
you were walking on a Federal
Hill side street, you might see a
chicken sauntering down the
sidewalk.
Woonsocket, too, now has a
law on the books allowing chickens, but it involves an arduous
process of getting a special use
permit.
“It’s an interesting political
fight because it tends to bring
together progressives approaching it from the sustainability and
economic justice viewpoint and
right-wing libertarians who believe it’s a fundamental property
right,” said Alex Kithes, who
served one term on the City
Council and had advocated for
allowing people to keep chickens. “The idea of allowing people the freedom and autonomy
to grow their own food, cheaper
and better quality — I think
there’s that sort of commonality
in the ideologies.”
In North Providence, the
council shot down a chicken ordinance by a 5-0 vote in 2015,
according to a story on
ecoRI.org.
In Cranston, former mayor
Allan Fung vetoed an ordinance
that would have allowed backyard chickens in 2012. That has
led to a strange sort of gray area.
Councilwoman Nicole Renzulli
said the law doesn’t allow chickens, nor does it explicitly prohibit them. As a result, some residents keep backyard hens. In a
city now dealing with a rat prob-

lem, that has led to concerns,
Renzulli said.
“Right now, eradicating the
rats is the biggest priority,” Renzulli said. “And chickens would
be second.”
And in Cumberland, one
family was recently devastated
by a town decision to not let
them keep their chickens. The
town law allows people to keep
chickens but requires them to
keep coops at least 25 feet from
side property lines. Paromita
Ghosh’s lot on Spring Street is
4 0 f e e t w i d e , h o w e v e r, n o t
enough for a 25-foot setback on
each side.
Ghosh went before the Zoning Board to get a variance, but
citing the opposition of neighbors, who said the chickens did
not fit in, the board voted it
down. Now Ghosh is working on
plans to find homes for Oreo,
Raven, Silverspring, Scarlet, and
Buffy, the chickens she got when
she felt isolated during the pandemic.
“I spent many nights crying,
many upset days,” Ghosh said.
That’s the sort of eventuality
that Galligan, the East Providence chicken enthusiast, is trying to avoid. She says concerns
about chickens are unfounded.
She has spent a lot of money,
more than she’d care to admit or
can keep track of, to keep her
chickens safe.
Galligan invested in a coop
and a run that has an automated
door powered by a small solar
panel, and a device whose eyes
lights up red like a predator’s at
night to keep away animals like
foxes or fisher cats.
There’s enough room for all
of them, Galligan says, for Biscuits, Winnie, Clarabelle, Lucy
Mae, Dixie, Millie, and Penny.
She’ll just need to convince her
neighbors.

Provincetown navigating a second summer of COVID
uPROVINCETOWN

Continued from Page B1

sulting in a cluster of 430 as of
Friday, Town Manager Alex
Morse wrote Saturday on Facebook. Thirty-six percent of the
cases were among Provincetown
residents, and 44 percent were
found in Massachusetts residents who live elsewhere in the
state, figures show.
Three people have been hospitalized, one of whom is from
out of state, Morse wrote. One of
the two Massachusetts residents,
who had been vaccinated, has
been released from the hospital,
he wrote.
Samuel Scarpino, an epidemiologist and managing director of pathogen surveillance at
the Rockefeller Foundation’s
Pandemic Prevention Institute,
said Saturday that what is happening in Provincetown mirrors
a sharp rise in COVID-19 nationally and internationally, with
much of it driven by the Delta
variant.
He said data indicate that
vaccines still provide a high degree of protection against symptomatic Delta variant infection,
even though there appears to be
a higher rate of mild “breakthrough” infections of the variant.
While vaccinated individuals
who end up infected with Delta
are still at low risk of severe disease, they will be able to infect
others, he said.
”Right now — where cases
are surging, [like in] P-town —
masking, testing, and other precautions are key steps we must
all take,” Scarpino said.
Massachusetts has the second-highest vaccination rate in
the country, behind Vermont, according to Becker’s Hospital Review. State figures put Provincetown’s vaccination rate at 116
percent of eligible residents,
though some have questioned
the accuracy of the numbers
used to calculate that figure.
What isn’t in dispute is that
COVID-19 has put Provincetown
in an unwelcome spotlight at the
worst time. The tourism season
is in high swing, allowing wouldbe visitors plenty of time to rethink vacation plans and most
pandemic restrictions in Massachusetts were lifted in May,
meaning businesses who want
stricter protocols can’t refer to
broader government mandates
if customers challenge their
rules.
Since the recent outbreak began, some businesses closed for
a day or two because of worker
shortages, a mask advisory was
put in place, and the town has
resumed testing its wastewater
for signs of coronavirus.
Ken Horgan, owner and general manager of the Pilgrim
House, said he can’t risk giving
COVID-19 the upper hand. Earlier last week, he said, his business began requiring patrons to
offer proof of vaccination before
accessing the property, which includes guest rooms, dining
space, and a performance venue.
Pilgrim House also eliminated bar seating, reduced capacity
in its showroom, added cleaning
protocols, and required everyone on the grounds to wear
masks in public spaces, he said.
“I think the general public is
hearing us. You may choose not
to get vaccinated, but if you
don’t, please don’t come to Prov-

Brent Thomas (top, right) led a tour through Provincetown as historical figure Anne Hutchinson and said that they have
asked people to observe pandemic protocol, though Saturday’s tour group confirmed they had all been vaccinated.
Businesses, including the Heaven Cafe (above), have asked customers to leave their masks on inside, unless they are seated.
incetown. You are not welcome
at our businesses,” Horgan said
Saturday.
Four vaccinated Pilgrim
House workers tested positive
for COVID-19 in the past 10 days
and only one has recovered and
returned to work, he said. Two
workers were asymptomatic,
Horgan said, and learned they
were infected only after two other workers got sick and tested
positive — prompting Pilgrim
House to require tests for all
staff.
The new policy prompted at
least one woman to get vaccinated, Horgan said. She made an
appointment to get the vaccine
after learning she couldn’t see a

performance of “Miss Richfield
1981 without the shot.
“I have to take care of my
team and I have to take care of
the guests that I am lucky
enough to have come,” Horgan
said.
Radu Luca, executive director of the Provincetown Chamber of Commerce, said he feels
for the town’s businesses, who
“are doing everything right.”
“It’s hard because they are
taking a hit right now. We want
to keep our community and residents safe. We are fighting a lot
of battles on different fronts,”
said Luca, who encouraged visitors to get vaccinated.
The flow of people on Com-

mercial Street, Provincetown’s
main thoroughfare, is one measure of the outbreak’s toll.
Despite the sunny weather
Saturday, the scene was quieter
than in a typical year after huge
crowds gathered earlier this
month for July 4 and for “Bear
Week,” a popular celebration,
said Gary Belis, a New York City
resident who summers in Provincetown.
Now that COVID-19 cases are
rising, Belis said some local residents are criticizing tourists
“who don’t follow the rules” for
bringing the virus to town. But,
as Belis points out, the guidance
given by the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention didn’t

prohibit vaccinated people from
dancing without a mask in a
crowded nightclub.
“Nobody’s been reckless,” Belis said. “As human beings, we
tend to engage in the blame
game.”
Following guidelines to stay
healthy is not new to older members of the gay community, Belis
said.
“Everybody here remembers
AIDS,” he said. “When you say
the word ‘virus,’ people pay attention.”
At The Lobster Pot, co-owner
Shawn McNulty said business
was consistent this summer until the COVID-19 cluster
emerged.

“We’re still doing good, but
we’ve seen a small drop in business,” he said.
The establishment closed for
two days last week to “regroup,”
as McNulty put it, and have each
of its staff members tested. All of
them got negative results, he
said.
Inside the restaurant, plastic
screens divided tables, and all
the windows were open to let air
circulate. While customers were
free to walk in without a mask,
and most chose to do that, staff
members had to keep them on.
“There’s so much uncertainty
with this variant,” McNulty said,
“and we’re trying to be comfortable with uncertainty.”
Family Week, an event for the
LBGTQ community that began
Saturday, moved its events outdoors and asked adults to sign
waivers, according to its website.
Jen Keene, 39, of Nashua,
who was visiting Provincetown
with one of her two daughters,
said she had planned to stick to
outdoor events during her stay,
maybe including some Family
Week e vents. On the whale
watch trip they took Saturday,
Keene said, she and her daughter were the only guests wearing
masks.
Keene, who is vaccinated,
said she and her wife, who is expected to join her Sunday with
their other daughter, wear
masks because their children aren’t old enough to get vaccinated
under current rules.
“It bothers me a little,” she
said of others not masking, “because a mask isn’t just about
protecting yourself, it’s for others.”

Lawmaker wants to reconsider state’s ban on ‘happy hour’
uHAPPY HOUR

Continued from Page B1

worthy conversation to understand how that can help mitigate
the concerns that led to the ban
in the first place.”
Connolly can’t count Governor Charlie Baker among his
supporters to lift the ban. Speaking to reporters Thursday on
Cape Cod, Baker said he’d be
“hard-pressed to support changing it.”
“That law did not come about
by accident,” he said. “It came
about because there was a sustained series of tragedies that involved both young and older
people in some terrible highway
incidences, all of which tracked
back to people who’d been overserved as a result of happy hours
at a variety of places.”
“I get the fact that for most
people they’re probably just an
opportunity to spend time and
enjoy it with friends, but that
law came about as a result of
some really awful things that

happened over a sustained period of time,” he said.
In July of 1984, a study for
the Quincy District Court had
concluded that bars linked to
drunken drivers tend to be larger establishments that offer music, happy-hour specials, or
both, according to Globe reports
at the time. The study had found
that 100 of the 222 bars, restaurants, and other businesses serving alcohol within the court’s jurisdiction had produced 249
drunken drivers since September of 1982. Out of those 100 establishments, 11 accounted for
82 drunk drivers, or about 33
percent of the total, the Globe reported.
Braintree and Framingham
had already implemented bans
on selling alcohol at a reduced
price. The state followed later
that year when then-governor
Michael Dukakis signed off on
new regulations developed by
the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Commission to outlaw happy

hours, making Massachusetts
the first in the nation to ban the
practice of after-work drink specials. He said the measure would
“go a long way toward” reducing
tragedies that resulted from
drunken driving.
Bob Garguilo, executive director of the Massachusetts office of Mothers Against Drunk

Driving, expressed neither support nor opposition to the bill
when reached for comment. He
said the responsibility is with
the consumer to make plans for
safe travel if they’ve been drinking.
“It’s ultimately up to the individual to make the right decision
and not drive after consuming

alcohol, whether free, happy
hour or during non happy hour,”
Garguilo, executive director of
the organization’s Massachusetts office, said in an e-mail.
“MADD just wants to ensure
that individuals deciding to consume alcohol have a plan to get
home safely. This plan should be
in place prior to consumption.
Rideshare opportunities or use
of a designated driver saves
lives. Call Uber. Call Lyft!”
Connolly said he would like
to see MADD among the stakeholders involved in the discussion if the issue is approved for
study.
“I would welcome their voice
to the table,” he said.
Connolly said that allowing
happy-hour drink specials could
also help bars and restaurants
who, prior to the pandemic, relied on the evening crowd heading for an after-work drink.
“There’s a big conversation
about the future of work, and
we’re hearing from restaurant

and bar owners that that implies challenges for them,” he
said. “If less people are working
from the office, that means the
after-work crowd is not necessarily showing up as frequently.”
Bob Luz, president and chief
executive of the Massachusetts
Restaurant Association, said
restaurant owners have historically opposed reinstating happy
hours for alcoholic drinks.
“This is merely a proposal at
this time, and in the past the
vast majority of owners have
been opposed to returning to
the old form of happy hour,” he
said in an e-mail. “Instead, they
have built food-focused specials
during happy hour, which is
bringing tremendous value to
our guests and seems to be
working just fine.”

THE COLOR OF MONEY | MICHELLE SINGLETARY

Glitches leave parents without advance child tax credit payments
Misinformation, glitches,
and delays are all fueling confusion about the monthly child tax
credit payments that the IRS has
begun sending to tens of millions of American families. This
initial batch of payments, directly deposited July 15, is the first
of six this year.
The payments are part of the
Biden administration’s effort to
get money into the hands of
struggling families. Families
with children 5 and under can
receive up to $300 a month per
child. For parents of children ages 6 through 17, it’s up to $250 a
month per child.
Those who got their money
were elated, with many people
posting on TikTok to chronicle
their excitement. One TikTok
user wrote, “Got my 1st child tax
credit payment. Biden paying
more child support than my baby daddy.”
Representative Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, a New York
Democrat, asked her nearly 13
million Twitter followers,
“Who’s gotten their CTC today?
How is it going to help you out?”
One Phoenix follower said the
$250 payment went to help pay
part of a $400 bill to the utility
company SRP. “Normally we’re
choosing between food and the
SRP bill -- not this month thanks
to Democrats!”
But many parents are also
emailing journalists or taking to
Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit to
complain or ask why they ha-

ven’t received their payments
yet. Some didn’t get as much as
they thought they were due,
while others don’t have a clue as
to why the payments haven’t
been deposited into their bank
accounts.
One South Carolina mother
reached out to The Washington
Post upset that she did get the
advance child tax credit payments for her two children aged
9 and 10 -- $500 -- but not for
her 17-year-old.
Had Treasury and the IRS
communicated better about the
age cutoff, she wouldn’t have
been worried. While it’s true
that the payment is available for
some 17-year-olds, it’s not available if the child will turn 18 this
year.
“Oh, OK,” the relieved mother said when I called to interview her.
Parents are upset that they
received letter 6417 from the
IRS confirming that their children were eligible for the advance payments, but when they
checked their status on the IRS
online portal, they are told they
aren’t eligible or “there are no
processed payments at this
time.”
This is what happened to
Courtney Bendickson from Colorado Springs. She and her husband did everything they are
supposed to do to get the direct
deposit payments for their two
children, who are ages 10 and
11. They filed a 2020 return,

what’s going on. You know, if the
IRS had a glitch and they were
able to come out and say, ‘Yeah,
there’s a glitch and we’re working on it,’ then at that point all
you do is wait. For me, I just
want to know why.”
The IRS says if, after five calendar days from the official pay
date, an electronic payment
hasn’t shown up -- and the bank
says it hasn’t received the payment -- mail or fax payment
trace Form 3911, “Taxpayer
Statement Regarding Refund.”
You need to wait four weeks for
a mailed check. Wait six weeks
to request a trace if a payment
was mailed and you have a forwarding address on file with the
post office.
“Many different factors come
into play for the eligibility of
these payments,” the IRS said in
a statement. “We continue to
work on this important credit,
and we will be closely monitoring the program as we move forward.”
The IRS has not reported any
widespread problems at this
point, which is also distressing
for Lisa McGruder from Pontiac,
Ill., who doesn’t understand
why she too hasn’t received the
first advance payment. The
McGruder family is eligible for
$750 a month for three children, who are 7, 8, and 10.
McGruder is collecting unemployment. Her husband is waiting on disability payments to
kick in after being diagnosed

which has been processed. The
first round of monthly payments
was based on returns processed
by the IRS -- not just filed -- by
June 28. They provided the IRS
with banking information. And
they know the tax agency has
what it needs to make a direct
deposit because the couple received all three of the stimulus
payments electronically.
But the July 15 pay date
came and went, and the $500
payment that was supposed to
hit their bank account didn’t
show up.
Bendickson said she called
her bank and was told there is
no pending payment from the
IRS. She used the Child Tax
Credit Update Portal to doublecheck and got the message that
nothing was pending. She even

tried to call the IRS several
times and was disconnected before reaching anyone.
“There are so many people in
the same situation that I am,
and that’s really unfortunate,”
she said. “It is frustrating.”
Bendickson said they could
really use the money. Her husband was furloughed twice last
year.
“It was rough,” she said. “He
was on unemployment for a
while.”
Things are OK now, but the
money would take some financial pressure off, she said.
“With the kids going back to
school, being able to buy supplies and clothes and all those
things, it just would be really
helpful,” she said, sounding exasperated. “I just don’t know

with cancer.
The McGruders filed their
2020 tax return and didn’t have
a problem receiving their refund
or all three stimulus payments.
“Got the letter in the mail
from the IRS saying we were eligible for the child tax credit, so
we were thinking it’s a slam
dunk,” McGruder said.
Unlike many others,
McGruder was able to reach
someone at the IRS.
“The person gave me very
vague answers,” she said. “We
had planned our budget around
the monthly payments. You get
that hope built up, and then it
gets dashed.”
Given the hard times they’ve
had because of the pandemic
and her husband’s health issues,
McGruder said she had planned
to use a small part of the money
to treat her 7-year-old daughter
to a mermaid tail for swimming.
“The kids are getting excited
about getting school clothes.
And then you sit there thinking,
well, now what am I supposed
to do? I don’t make enough each
week to pay for all of this,” she
said. “I just felt like a failure as a
mom, just devastated. Then you
just pick yourself up and it’s like,
what can you do about it? The
IRS is going to do what they do,
right?”

HIGHWAY SAFETY

Clearing up
confusion
about AAA and
the Mass Pike

COMMUTING

Getting people
back to the
office means
getting people
back on the T

For decades, Larry Gennari has enjoyed what he calls “the
peace of mind” that comes with being a member of AAA, the
national auto club known for providing emergency roadside
assistance. For Gennari, AAA membership has meant that he
and his family, including two teenage drivers, can summon help
anytime and anywhere if their vehicle becomes disabled. It
requires only a single telephone call. But AAA makes an
exception by not servicing stranded motorists on the one
roadway where
Gennari desperately
needed it on a recent
stormy night: the 135mile-long
Massachusetts
Turnpike. The events
that transpired in the
heavy rain on July 1
left Gennari confused
enough that he
contacted me for help.
What I discovered may
assure drivers on the
Pike they are still able
to get the benefits of
their AAA membership
while traveling the
road between Boston
and the New York state
border. Bottom line? If
you are a AAA member
needing a tow on the Pike, your call will be forwarded to the
State Police, which will dispatch a tow company it has under
contract to do the job. In fact, you probably will get quicker
service on the Pike than on other highways because the State
Police make it a high priority to swiftly clear disabled vehicles
there. — SEAN MURPHY

The success of getting people back to the office hinges on the
MBTA. Employers are understandably nervous. In the
pandemic age, it’s not so much signal problems or faulty new
trains that worry them the most. These days it’s whether
commuters feel comfortable riding by bus, train, or subway. If
they don’t, people will probably drive, which could worsen
Boston’s notorious congestion as a new crop of commuters hits
the roads. More to the point, employees could decide it’s easier
to work from home than making the hellish trek downtown. As
COVID-19 has
been brought
under control,
more of us have
eaten at a
restaurant, visited
a hair salon, and
returned to
shopping in stores
without one-way
aisles. Few of us
have been
clamoring to ride
the T, primarily
because many
people can work
remotely. That’s
going to change
after Labor Day
when more
companies reopen
their offices and
expect employees to be back in person at least once or twice a
week. Ridership on public transit has been growing since we
emerged from COVID-19 shutdowns in 2020, but the numbers
remain far below normal. Average weekday subway ridership,
for example, is only 35 percent of what it was in June 2019,
while the weekday average for the commuter rail is about 23
percent of June 2019 levels. Bus ridership has rebounded more
strongly, but it’s still only averaging 54 percent of pre-pandemic
numbers. — SHIRLEY LEUNG

After a frenzied spring, Greater Boston’s housing market is
settling into something slightly closer to normal. A very, very
expensive normal, of course, but something a little more
balanced. Prices for both single-family homes and condos in
the region again hit record highs in June, according to new
figures out this week from the Greater Boston Association of
Realtors and other trade groups. But the number of new
listings climbed —
perhaps as would-be
sellers see sky-high
prices and decide to
take what they can
get — and the
bidding wars of this
spring have faded
just a bit, said
association president
Dino Confalone. The
median price for a
single-family home in
the 64 Boston-area
cities and towns the
association covers
climbed to $811,000,
19 percent higher
than the same month
last year. Condo
prices jumped too,
up 9 percent to
$643,750. Both
figures were record
highs, reflecting a
furious run-up in
prices since the
COVID-19 pandemic
hit and homebuyers — eager for a place of their own and
somewhere to stretch out — bid up prices, particularly on
single-family homes in suburban towns. Sales volume also
accelerated, not just from the artificial lows of last spring’s
COVID shutdowns but from prepandemic levels in 2019 as
well. Sales of single-family homes ran 14 percent ahead of
their pace in June 2019, while condo sales climbed 27 percent
from 2019, to hit a record high for the month. — TIM LOGAN

Tailwind Air has won the race to bring commercial seaplane
service to Boston Harbor. The Rye Brook, N.Y.-based airline is
launching ticket sales this week for flights to New York that
begin on Aug. 3. It has taken more than five years for Tailwind
to get this venture off the ground — or, more accurately, off
the water. That’s how long Tailwind and rival Cape Air have
been chasing permits, running test flights, and drumming up
support among a somewhat skeptical public. Tailwind
received its final approval from the Federal Aviation
Administration last week for the Boston-Manhattan flights.
The company will start with two
round trips a day, grow to four on
Aug. 23, and continue them
through the end of November.
(They’ll start back up again in
March.) Chief executive Alan
Ram said the trips will take
under 90 minutes from dock to
dock, allowing passengers to
avoid the tunnel and bridge
traffic and long security lines
that are standard headaches
when traveling through the main
airports in both cities. Tailwind,
which already operates seaplane
service between Manhattan and
three locations on Long Island,
will fly amphibious Cessna
Caravans on the Boston route, with space for the two pilots
and up to eight passengers. One-way fares will range from
$395 to $795, designed to be competitive with walk-up fares
on the Boston-New York shuttles offered by American, Delta,
and JetBlue. — JON CHESTO

For plenty of obvious reasons, even as
the pandemic has waned this year, many
of us will spend our free time in the summer of 2021 remaining close to home,
pursuing day trips or brief overnight holidays. With that in mind, we went out in
search of a few “staycation” ideas within
an hour’s drive of Boston. We came back
rejuvenated, with a welcome reminder
that another world need not be a world
away.
On the back roads of Framingham,
near the Sudbury line, the Garden in the
Woods immerses visitors in a forest sanctuary that showcases New England’s native plants. It only takes a matter of minutes to feel your heart rate slow and
workday life slip away. Only the occasional, faint sound of a lawn mower or a barking dog brings back the surprising fact
that this refuge has residential neighbors.
From highbush blueberries and Eastern prickly pear cacti to the region’s most
extensive trillium collection, the botanical garden covers nearly 50 acres of ridges, gullies, ponds, and streams. The place
features a sensory overload of microhabitats, situated along a winding, mile-long
main loop and various outlying footpaths.
The late landscape artist Will C. Curtis
purchased the first 30 acres in 1931 for a
reported $1,000, and he began laying
plans for his garden. When Curtis died in
1965, he left the property to the New
England Wild Flower Society, now known
as the Native Plant Trust.
The Trust has a comprehensive botanical guide on its website, and it recently
developed a helpful app that can be used
for its map of the garden grounds, plant
identification, and more.
Children will enjoy the lily pond with
its frogs and turtles, an activity area crafted from logs, and the stegosaurus sculpture made from a glacial erratic by metal
artist David Phillips.

Voices
How a couple renewed their vows,
surrounded by love and gratitude

J

By Cindy Cantrell
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

udi Corbishley of Lynn was in a
celebratory frame of mind as her
25th wedding anniversary approached on May 25.
Her husband, Chris, had survived a harrowing monthlong hospitalization last year involving sepsis, multiple
strokes, and open-heart surgery. Her mother, 87-year-old Alma Barrett, was maintaining good health at the Harriett and Ralph
Kaplan Estates in Peabody, an assisted living community operated by Chelsea Jewish
Lifecare.
Finally, the social distancing precautions and other restrictions that had become second nature in nearly every segment of society during the COVID-19 pandemic were easing.
Wanting something fun to look forward
to, Judi took a turn making her own proposal. What about a vow renewal ceremony? The only catch: It must take place at
Kaplan Estates so her mother could attend,
or not at all.
“I had to have my mom there,” said Judi,
who knew upon getting engaged in 1994
that she wanted to share her parents’ wedding anniversary of May 25 so she could include her mother in their annual celebration. (Judi’s father, Larry, had died five
years earlier.)
“This wouldn’t have meant anything
without my mom.”
That’s where Marisa Iafrate, Kaplan’s director of marketing, came in. “My goal was
to make it happen, regardless of whomever
I had to ask or whatever I had to do,”
Iafrate said. “We’re just one big happy family here.”
In addition to her natural inclination to
assist all families, Iafrate had a special connection to Judi’s. Her mother was the first
resident Iafrate helped with moving into
Kaplan Estates in October 2019.
In addition, Judi, a certified pharmacy
technician at a CVS store in Woburn, had
volunteered to administer the COVID-19
vaccine at assisted living residences including Kaplan Estates. On Jan. 12, she entered
her mother’s apartment for the first time
since the facility locked down in March
2020 to give her the shot.
“Seeing Judi in all that [personal protective] equipment was a shock. I thought she
was somebody else,” her mother Alma said.
“But everything turned out well.”
While Iafrate worked with senior management to secure approval for the vow renewal ceremony — a first-of-its-kind event
at the assisted living facility — the Corbishleys went into planning mode.
They asked their close friend, Craig
Branscomb, to perform the ceremony. The
bridal party of six bridesmaids and six

anniversary renewal ceremony, where guests watched the couple share a dance.

groomsmen consisted of the couple’s children, 23-year-old Jordan and 21-year-old
Noah, and some of the original members of
the bridal party who still lived locally.
“We told them, ‘It will be the best Tuesday you’ve ever had!’” Chris enthused.
When the special day arrived, Kaplan
Estates’ director of resident life, Ellen Gordon, helped coordinate the final details.
Iafrate greeted Alma, who thanked her for
“making this time so magical” while getting
her hair done.
The bride wore a white sleeveless dress
and the groom dressed in gray shorts and a
collared shirt. They walked down a makeshift aisle in front of 23 invited guests —
plus assisted living residents and staff
members — to “I Will (Take You Forever)”
by Christopher Cross, their wedding song
from 25 years earlier.
Branscomb and the wedding party wore
different colored T-shirts adorned with a logo depicting intertwined rings, one labeled
“Judi” and the other “Chris” with “25 Years”
printed beneath both.
Chris joked that Branscomb had insisted the couple write their own vows this
time around in order to “stretch it out.” Ju-

di’s vows filled an entire page, prompting
her husband to quip afterward, “I almost
pulled up a chair and sat down!”
When his turn came, Chris read his
short but sweet vows from an index card
saying, in part, “I pledged my heart to you
25 years ago. As I now have a few new pieces in here, I would like to pledge my renewed heart to you again for at least another 25 years.”
“It was beautiful!” exclaimed Alma, who
reportedly cried throughout the ceremony.
“Even nicer than the first wedding.”
Weeks later, Judi said she was still on a
“high” from the experience.
“I can’t thank Kaplan enough for making this happen,” she said. “Just knowing
we celebrated Chris still being with us, and
everything with COVID finally getting better, meant the world to me.”
Chris, however, acknowledged that feeling may not be universal.
“I’ve got a few friends who are not so
happy,” he said, “because their 25th anniversaries are coming up.”

NO JOKING MATTER
At approximately 3:30 p.m.
July 8, Sharon police received a
call from someone at Charles
River Apparel who found a suspicious package that looked like
an explosive device. Police evacuated the building and set up a
perimeter, and the fire department and State Police also responded to the scene. No other
devices were found. Police later
reported that the suspicious
package turned out to be “a
home-made (somewhat elaborate) hoax device.” Four days
later, police posted that they
identified the person responsible for the device, and that
charges were pending. Police
Chief Don Brewer said the 46year-old man from Walpole was
charged with possession of a
hoax device and disturbing the
peace. “The individual was cooperative with police and confessed to making the device —
thought it would be artistic,”
Brewer said. “He says he put it
there as a joke.”

THE ARGUMENT

UNWELCOME VISITOR
At 7:16 a.m. June 25, a resident of High Street in Hingham
called 911 and told police that a
man walked onto her property,
cut her flowers, and tried to
steal a piece of lumber. She said
he was wearing shorts and a
hat, and was last seen walking
in the direction of French
Street. Police checked the area
without success, and told the
woman to call police if the man
came back.

HIGH-TECH HIJINKS
At 7:21 p.m. June 3, Wilmington police received a call
from someone on Carolyn Road
who said a Subaru Forester
with tinted windows had been
parked in different areas of the
neighborhood since lunchtime.
Police tracked down the vehicle
and learned that the driver was
“a resident looking for Wifi.”
Four days later, Wilmington
police got a call from someone
who reported seeing a man
standing near a dentist office in
the dark for about 15 minutes
and thought it was suspicious.
It was the middle of the night —
1:34 a.m. to be exact — so we
can understand why this might
raise some concern. Police
found the fellow milling about
in the dark and spoke to him.
He told police he couldn’t sleep
so he “came out to play
Pokemon.” Police explained
why they were called and
advised him to head home.

when someone reported that a
male was setting off fireworks
in the basketball court at Kingswood Park Village. Police
showed up and couldn’t find
any fireworks, but noted that
the person in question “was

SELFIE TIME
At 7:16 p.m. June 16, Saugus police received a call from a
resident of David Drive who reported that a woman dressed in
black had been taking pictures
in front of the resident’s home
for the last 25 minutes. But po-

lice soon determined that the

entry, the officers who responded to the call said it appeared to
be “a random person” who happened to be taking selfies in
front of the resident’s home.

Taxes shape human behavior. Cigarette and other sin
taxes reduce demand for unhealthy products. Sales tax
holidays encourage Massachusetts consumers to spend. The
Massachusetts estate tax? Sadly, it does not result in long
life for Massachusetts residents. Instead, it creates an
incentive for people to leave
Massachusetts as they reach
their golden years. That’s why
the Massachusetts Society of
CPAs, in 2019 testimony supporting overhaul of the tax,
noted that its members advise
clients to move out of Massachusetts in part to protect
their assets and pass savings
onto their children.
Massachusetts is among
only 17 states with an estate
or an inheritance tax. Our
“death tax” kicks in after $1
million of gross assets at a
rate of 0.8 percent to 16 percent. For homeowners, small
businesses, family farmers, retirees, and others who have
worked hard to save and create a good life for their families, that threshold is too low.
Sure, “tax the rich’’ is an easy
rallying cry for the political
left, just as it was after ratification of the 16th Amendment that created the federal
income tax. When the federal
income tax was first levied in
1914, the rich paid the top
rate of 7 percent. By 1933,
taxpayers near the bottom of
the income scale paid 8 percent.
The real cost of losing senior residents who seek to
avoid the Massachusetts death
tax? States that lose senior citizens who relocate to lowertax states also lose years of
resident income, capital gains,
sales, and excise taxes. In addition, Massachusetts loses
the diversity, experience, and
example of our senior citizens
who scrimped and saved to
make a better life for their
children and grandchildren. A
recent Pioneer Institute study
showed a long-term pattern of
wealthy Massachusetts residents relocating to Florida
and New Hampshire, two
states with no personal income or estate taxes.
House Bill 2881, filed by
representative Shawn Dooley
of Norfolk, fixes the flaws of
our current Massachusetts
death tax. Notably, it would
raise the exemption for the tax
to $2.5 million, more in line
with other New England
states. Call your state legislator to urge their support for
this proposal. Or you can
leave them your forwarding
address.

The estate tax is Massachusetts’ only major tax designed
to reduce how much individual economic success depends
on being born into a wealthy
family. Proposals to weaken
the estate tax, such as by raising its exemption, would literally be a gift to some of the
Commonwealth’s wealthiest
families at the expense of everyone else. Paring back the
estate tax would cut taxes for
the wealthiest, while the state
would lose revenue each year
that could support schools,
public health, libraries, and
the other essential needs that
give everyone the best chance
to succeed.
Since the 1980s, average
wealth in the US has barely
grown for the bottom 90 percent of families, but more
than doubled for those in the
top 10 percent. The top 1 percent now claim about 40 percent of all wealth. Such gaps
also compound racial inequality. A typical white family in
the US holds eight times the
wealth of a typical Black family and five times that of a
Latinx family. For the lucky
few who receive a large inheritance, estate taxes already include many exceptions.
Spouses and some familyowned businesses, for instance, are shielded from the
tax.
The estate tax is a way
large accumulators of private
wealth can give back for their
reliance on public investments. The value of stocks,
bonds, and other assets depend on schooling that educated a business’ workforce,
the roads that brought goods
to market, the courts that enforced contracts, the police
that protected against theft,
and so on.
Finally, the estate tax addresses some of the ways current law favors people who
can afford to hold onto assets
rather than sell them to pay
for such expenses as retirement and their children’s college. Much of the value of
large estates left to heirs is
typically stocks, bonds, real
estate, and other assets that
appreciate over time. When
those assets are inherited,
their value gets reset. All the
capital gains the assets accrued prior to inheritance remain untaxed. The estate tax
in part compensates for that.
The pandemic both exposed and worsened economic disparities across Massachusetts. This is the wrong
time to weaken the only tax
that directly reduces inequality.

Former hotel to be converted
into apartments for homeless
Father Bill’s & MainSpring plans to convert the former Rodeway Inn on Belmont Street in Brockton into permanent housing
for chronically homeless people.
The social service agency has been using the 69-room hotel —
located near the Brockton VA Medical Center — since the spring
of 2020 to create more space for social distancing at its downtown
shelter during the pandemic.
Father Bill’s & MainSpring bought the property, for a little
more than $4 million, this spring and plans to spend about $10
million altogether to turn each unit into an efficiency apartment,
according to CEO John Yazwinski. Tenants will pay no more than
30 percent of their income in rent and will receive help to keep
them from becoming homeless again, he said.
He estimated the conversion would be finished within 12
months, with work being staggered so that only a few units are
renovated at a time.
When completed, the project will reduce Brockton’s homeless
shelter population by about 50 percent, he said.
Yazwinski said the pandemic made it clear that providing
emergency shelter for the homeless — “people sleeping inches
away from each other” — isn’t the solution to homelessness.
“Hopefully, the state and everyone will look at this project and
say, “Let’s do more of this,’” Yazwinski said. “It’s a great model for
taking underutilized properties, [repurposing them], and helping
do away with homelessness.”
The Arbella Insurance Foundation donated $300,000 to the
project, which also is getting other private and state money, Yazwinski said.

CONCORD

Concord outfits police officers,
cruisers with video cameras
The Concord Police Department has completed its implementation of a new program to outfit its police officers and cruisers
with video cameras.
All officers were issued body cameras, while in-car cameras
have been installed in each marked and unmarked vehicle, according to the town, which spent $197,000 for the equipment.
The police are managing the videos with a cloud-based system
provided by WatchGuard, the firm that supplied the cameras.
Concord reached agreement with its local police union in July
2020 to initiate the program, but its start was delayed in part by
the pandemic.
“The implementation of our integrated body-worn/in-car camera system will assist us in ensuring the public’s trust in our department,” Police Chief Joseph O’Connor said in a statement.
The town established a policy governing use of the cameras, including the requirement that officers wear them unless the chief
determines they are not appropriate for an assignment. It also
lists circumstances in which recordings should not be made.

ESSEX COUNTY

Women’s Fund is awarding
$250,000 to 37 nonprofits
Organizations across Essex County seeking to improve the lives
of women and girls have new resources to support their work.
The Women’s Fund of Essex County recently announced its annual grants, awarding $250,000 to 37 nonprofits. Founded in
2003, the Danvers-based Women’s Fund has now provided more
than $2.8 million to 150 organizations, subsidizing such services
as skills training, employment readiness, health promotion, financial literacy, and mentoring.
Due to the pandemic, the fund in 2021 modified its program to
target grants to groups addressing significant impacts of COVID19 on women and girls, and in particular disproportionate im-

Newton will break ground in summer 2023 on a new senior
center building to replace the existing Walnut Street facility, Mayor Ruthanne Fuller announced in a recent video.
Fuller announced the start of construction following a Newton
Center for Active Living (NewCAL) Working Group recommendation in June that called for replacing the current senior center,
which is located in a former library building built in 1938.
“Newton’s older residents have given so much to our community, and this project is our opportunity to proudly give back to
them,” Fuller said in the video, which was released July 16.
On July 14, city councilors on the Public Facilities and Programs and Services committees voted unanimously in a straw vote
to move forward with a new building, Fuller said.
“As we lean in hard to complete the design for this wonderful
project, please stay involved as we have many opportunities for
people to weigh in,” Fuller said in the video.
The senior center now serves about 5,000 people each year, according to the working group’s report, and the city needs a larger
facility to meet the needs of Newton’s growing population of residents age 60 and older. The Newtonville building was reopened as
the senior center following a 1993 renovation.
The center provides a range of services, including recreational
programs, support groups, health education, and elder law assistance, according to the report.
Fuller said the city also will be working on a permanent name
for the new senior center, and suggested one option could be in
honor of resident Audrey Cooper, who died last month at the age
of 97.
Cooper was a longtime volunteer and activist for Democratic
candidates. She also helped lead the committee that formed the
senior center and then served on its board as president, according
to Fuller.
“Could this new facility be named the “Cooper Center?” Let’s
see,” Fuller said. “We look forward to hearing your thoughts and
suggestions on naming and so many other important decisions as
we move forward.”

NORWELL

Developer seeks to build 56
apartments, 14 affordable
A Concord developer wants permission to build 56 apartments
in 10 new buildings near the intersection of High, Grove, and
Washington streets in Norwell under the state’s Chapter 40B affordable housing law.
The law allows projects that include affordable units to bypass
local zoning rules in communities where less than 10 percent of
the existing housing stock is classified as affordable; Norwell has
just shy of 5 percent, according to town planner Kenneth Kirkland.
In the proposed development, Northland Residential Corp.
would set aside 14 of the apartments as affordable, according to
the application filed with the town in April.
The 10 new buildings would be built on what are now four separate lots at 15, 19, 27, and 35 High Street. The plan calls for tearing down the existing single-family homes, two of which are vacant. One of the homes had been used as an office. The property
abuts an office park and is across from a CVS on what turns into a
more rural setting farther down High Street.
Neighbors objected to the plan at a July 7 hearing of the Norwell Zoning Board of Appeals, saying it was too large for the site
and would exacerbate existing traffic problems at the busy intersection. The next hearing is scheduled for Aug. 4.

The Gazebo Players will stage six performances — each under 15 minutes — in Walpole.

See six Shakespeare shorts
in two hours at Bird Park
By Robert Knox
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

Here’s the game plan for
“Shakespeare in Shorts,” an innovative approach to live outdoor theater at Walpole’s Bird
Park, according to the Gazebo
Players of Medfield: “Wander
around the park and watch as
many different scenes as you like
to get a flavor of all that Shakespeare has to offer.”
The community theater
group, whose members live in
various local towns, has been
performing at the Trustees of
Reservations property in Walpole since 2002, with the exception
of 2020. Asked why the troupe
chooses to perform — for free —
at Bird Park, member Steve
Small replied, “Who wouldn’t
want to perform on the beautiful
stone stage at the Music Court?”
This year the group will stage
excerpts from six Shakespeare
plays — four comedies and two
tragedies — on Saturday, July 31
and Sunday, Aug. 1, from 4 to 6
p.m. Each short scene will be
performed at a different location
in the park, and audience members are invited to move from
site to site. Each scene lasts approximately 10 to 15 minutes,
and all scenes may be viewed
within two hours.
The park will provide maps
of the scene locations at the Music Court (that stone stage) and
at each performance spot.
Not only will the performances be “shorts,” some of the actors
will be wearing them as well.

“I will,” said Steve Small, who
will wear the same costume in
which he performed in the
group’s production of “The Taming of the Shrew” some years ago
along with his wife, Cynthia. The
play’s plot centers on a famously
abrasive, but comic and ultimately harmonious, courtship.
In addition to “Taming,” the
outdoor production will offer excerpts from “Hamlet,” “ The
Comedy of Errors,” “The Tempest,” “Macbeth,” and “Twelfth
Night.”
Like other summer performing arts programs this year, the
innovative show grew from the
uncertainties of advance planning during a pandemic
“Gazebo Players had to decide what to do this summer in
March, while the pandemic was
still raging and it was unclear
when performance restrictions
would be lifted,” said Small, the
group’s treasurer and Bird Park
liaison. “We decided there was
no way to mount a full production this year. Even if restrictions
were lifted by July, there was no
way we were going to be able to
rehearse in the public schools
starting in May as we have done
every other year.”
Staging scenes from shows
produced by the community theater troupe permitted subgroups
of two to four actors to direct
and rehearse themselves. Performing scenes separately (and
simultaneously) would serve to
divide the full audience into
smaller units for COVID safety

spacing.
The format also allows directors and actors of previous productions to choose favorite
scenes and roles for an encore
performance. The scenes run
from 10 to 15 minutes. The repeated enactments give time for
audience members to stroll from
one setting to another. And the
park is roomy enough to allow
the scenes to be staged far
enough apart to prevent noise
interference between them. The
productions will run six to eight
times in the course of the twohour scheduled time frame. In
total, Small said, 13 performers
will take part.
“Like much of Shakespeare’s
dialogue,” Small said, “there’s a
double meaning — short pieces,
short pants.”
The only potential showstopper is weather.
“If it rains we have to cancel,”
Small said, because there is no
practical alternative to the outdoor setting.
“Shakespeare in Shorts” is
free. Bird Park’s largest parking
lot is located on Polley Lane and
the park advises people to use
135 Polley Lane for their GPS.
Those who need a level entrance
are asked to use the lot next to 3
Pleasant St. or the one at 55
Rhoades Ave.

Acton has found a way to
make its stretch of the Bruce
Freeman Rail Trail safer for bicyclists and pedestrians.
The town teamed with the
Friends of the Bruce Freeman
Rail Trail to install automated
motion detection sensors on the
crosswalk signs at the trail’s five
road crossings in Acton.
The new sensors detect trail
users heading toward the intersections and activate the yellow
rectangular rapid-flashing beacons on the crosswalk signs to
alert approaching drivers. Until
now, the beacons flashed only
when activated by push buttons.
The project resulted from
shared concerns of town officials
and the Friends group about the
potential hazards trail users face
at the five intersections: Wetherbee Street, Concord Road, Brook
Street, and two locations along
Main Street, according to Paul
Malchodi, an Acton resident and
Friends’ board member.
“We have observed unsafe
conditions at road crossings in
Acton where either trail users or
drivers were not paying what we
consider adequate attention to
each other,” said Malchodi, who
frequently rides his bike on the
3.5-mile completed Acton section of the Bruce Freeman Rail
Tr a i l , a n e v o l v i n g 2 5 - m i l e
shared-use path from Framingham to Lowell.
“Anyone who has been there
on a Saturday morning on a nice
day could see that the manual
operating system was not being
used to a great extent,” he said.
His group noticed that even if
few were using the push buttons, the vast majority of trail
users were being careful crossing the street. But “a small percentage of bicyclists were ignoring the stop sign, and powering
into the intersection,” Malchodi
said.
Anecdotally, it also is clear
that “some percentage of drivers
don’t notice crosswalks. Drivers
are highly distracted these days
—- many things compete for our
attention,” Malchodi said. Many
drivers also either ignore or are
not fully aware that they must

stop for people in a crosswalk.
“Anything we can do to call
attention to crosswalks will
help,” he said.
“These new sensors will increase safety along the rail trail
and make it easier for drivers to
be alerted to pedestrians and bicyclists in the area,” Acton Town
Manager John S. Mangiaratti
said in a statement.
The Friends funded the approximately $15,000 cost of purchasing and installing the sensors, according to Malchodi. The
existing push-button system,
which was installed when the
Acton trail section was built in
2018, will remain in place for users that need it.
“We made the investment because it became apparent to all
that the self-actuated crossing
signals were not being used universally and the situation app e a r e d t o b e h a z a r d o u s ,”
Friends’ President Tom Michelman said by email.
Malchodi said automated
sensor systems are not ideal for
all rail trail intersections.
“In many places it can help,
like in Acton where we have
moderate traffic at the crossings.
With heavy traffic it’s probably
not a great idea — you need a
traffic signal. And If there is al-

most no traffic, they don’t have
any purpose.”
Malden City Councilor Stephen Winslow, founder of the
Northern Strand Trail that runs
from Everett to Lynn, said the
technology for rail trail crossing
systems has evolved over the
past 15 to 20 years. Push-button
systems have been installed at
some crossings and automated
ones at others based on local assessments of safety needs, he
said. The Northern Strand has at
least one automated crossing, in
Malden.
Winslow said both types of
systems can enhance safety, but
each has its disadvantages, noting that people often forget to
use push-button systems or the
flashing lights are not visible to
them, and that automated systems can be over-sensitive, activating lights when a pedestrian
is simply walking on a sidewalk
near the crosswalk.
Malchodi said the Friends
recognize that even in Acton, the
automated lights are “not a panacea but they are going to do a
lot to help with safety. That was
our most important consideration.”

Grant boosts effort to renovate Melrose library
By John Laidler
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

A longstanding effort to overhaul Melrose’s historic public library building has gained fresh
momentum with recent new
funding.
Since 2013, the city has been
pursuing plans to carry out a
major renovation and expansion
of the 1904 brick edifice that officials say suffers from poor
handicap access, a leaky roof,
and other needs.
On July 8, the Massachusetts
Board of Library Commissioners
awarded the project a $7.99 million grant, which could grow by
up to $279,765 if certain energy
efficiencies are included.
The award is contingent on
Melrose covering the remaining
costs of the project — which it
has previously estimated at a total of $18 million — by next January.
On July 21, Melrose’s library
trustees voted unanimously to
commit $2 million to the project, according to Mayor Paul
Brodeur. The money, drawn
from library trust funds, would
offset what City Council needs to
borrow to cover the local share.

MELROSE PUBLIC LIBRARY PHOTOS

The 1904 Melrose Public
Library, and the steep 76foot access ramp in the back.
Private donations also are welcome.
Brodeur said the city would
not need a debt exclusion — or
temporary tax increase — to
fund its share of the costs.
“This is a very critical investment,” Brodeur said of the project, noting that the venerable library “needs a lot of restoration
and preservation. We are using a
1904 building to service a 21stcentury community.”
Brodeur said he is hopeful

city councilors will support the
plan, which he intends to place
before them when a new cost
figure is prepared and he has a
chance to educate voters about
the proposal.
“This is a group that is very
focused on the financial well-being of the city but also on meeting the needs of our residents in
keeping up with our critical infrastructure,” he said of councilors.
The library on West Emerson

Street was among many built
with funds from industrialist
and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. The city constructed an
addition in 1963, and undertook
a partial renovation in 1992, but
has not significantly upgraded it
since, according to city library
director Linda Gardener.
Gardener said the building’s
inadequate access is highlighted
by the fact that people with disabilities need to use a steep 76foot ramp at the rear of the li-

brary to gain entrance.
“That’s not the welcome we
want to be providing,” she said.
The building also is too small
to meet the library’s current
needs, and suffers from aging
HVAC systems, a worn-out roof,
and a confusing physical layout
that can make it difficult for patrons to navigate.
The proposal calls for replacing the existing 1963 addition
with a new larger one, increasing the size of the overall facility
to 26,579 square feet. A new fully accessible front entrance
would be constructed, the roof
replaced, and new HVAC systems installed.
By adding and reallocating
space, the project will also provide an enhanced children’s area, a dedicated young adult
room, and more space for adult
programming.
An area is also being created
for patrons to explore new technologies.
Gardener said the proposed
project, which also includes restoring sections of the limestone
brick exterior, was a way of
“looking forward, and backwards to our history.”

“The renovation will allow us
to highlight and enhance the
beauty of the original Carnegie
building, improve the ability of
staff to provide effective services, and enable us to have multiple programs at the same time,
which currently we cannot effectively do,” she said.
The popularity of the library
— which has annual circulation
numbers consistently among
the highest in its regional network — is another reason the
upgrade makes sense, Gardener
said. “Melrose is a community
that continues to value its public
library service.”
Denise Gaffey, Melrose’s director of planning and community development, said that the
city considered other options for
the project — including building
a new library on another site —
but the current plan was its
clear preference from the start.
“It’s a great opportunity to invest in this historic building that
is beloved by the community but
is not functioning well for the
needs of the city today,” she said.

hillside under a gentle drizzle.
It was damp out on the day
we drove to Gloucester to visit
the castle home of a great —
and somewhat eccentric — inventor. The Hammond Castle
Museum was bustling with
s i g h t s e e r s w h o’d p r o b a b l y
hoped for a beach day.
John Hays Hammond Jr.,
who held more than 400 patents (once sailing an unmanned
boat by remote control from
Gloucester to Boston and back),
designed his European-style
castle home during the 1920s.
With elements of medie val
Gothic cathedrals and French
chateaus, Hammond Castle has
been attracting tourists, school
groups, and film location scouts
for decades.
If you haven’ t been, it’s a
whimsy. Hammond, who once
appeared on the cover of Time
magazine identified as America’s “most radically democratic
millionaire,” specialized in
building musical instruments
and innovations in sound. He
also developed military technologies and anticipated the
ideas of mobile homes and a
home shopping network.
The castle’s Great Hall, more
than 50 feet high, houses an

enormous pipe organ said to be
the largest in a private residence. The museum’s nonprofit
organization is preparing a
multimillion-dollar fund-raising effort to restore the organ to
working condition.
An indoor courtyard, designed to look like a French village, features a pool with fountains and a life-sized, nude
bronze statue of Hammond
himself, a gift to his wife, Irene.
Our tour guide explained how
at one point, Hammond moved
the statue to the end of his
driveway, as a greeting to his
neighbors here in the seaside
enclave of Magnolia. The locals
apparently made a game of seeing who could collect the most
fig leaves covering the statue’s
not-so-private parts.
This summer the museum
plans to host a full slate of special events, including a castlethemed movie series (“Young
Frankenstein,” “The Princess
Bride”) and a performance in
the Great Hall on Aug. 4 by the
folk fiddler Emerald Rae, a
Gloucester native.
“This is my cup of tea,” said
Loretta Iannicelli, who lives
west of Boston. She was spending the day at the castle with a

Hebrew College helping local
groups increase vaccine access
By John Hilliard
GLOBE STAFF

Hebrew College in Newton is
working with local organizations
in the region to help address vaccine hesitancy in local communities of color hit hard by the
COVID-19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 Faith in the
Vaccine Ambassador Program,
which was launched this summer and will run through December, helps connect about 30
student volunteers with local
groups already working to help
build support for vaccines.
The college’s Miller Center
for Interreligious Learning &
Leadership is partnering with
groups including Black Boston
COVID Coalition, We Got Us,
and Turn In. Reach Out. to help
increase vaccinations in those
neighborhoods.
“This is about trust and the
ability to communicate within
diverse communities, and having representatives of those
communities educate others,”
said Rabbi Or Rose, director of
the Miller Center. “We need to
listen to voices of people who are
often marginalized, or not heard
often enough.”
The participating volunteers
include students from high
schools, colleges, and universi-

ties, as well as graduate students, organizers said.
Communities of color have
been disproportionately impacted by high infection rates, and
lower numbers of COVID-19
vaccinations.

‘This is about trust
and the ability to
communicate
within diverse
communities ...’
RABBI OR ROSE

Locally, early in the vaccine
rollout, Black and Latino communities in Suffolk County had
less access to vaccinations. By
July, there were areas that continued to lag in getting shots into
arms.
Disparities in the pandemic
and vaccine rollout have been
followed by calls for a statewide
office and a cabinet-level post to
oversee an equity-focused review of the state’s COVID-19 response.
Kim Bress, the coordinator of
the program, said Hebrew College sought to work closely with

organizations with deep roots in
places such as Roxbury, Mattapan, and Dorchester.
“One of the important goals
... of this program was to plug into community organizations
that are already boots-on-theground, doing the work towards
increasing access to vaccinations,” Bress said.
The Miller Center is working
with a national organization, Interfaith Youth Core, which is
helping to coordinate similar
outreach programs nationwide..
Rose said the college’s vaccine ambassador effort in Boston followed the Miller Center’s

The Hingham Parks and Recreation Department brought a group of kids who
stopped to inspect a massive boulder along the shoreline at World’s End.

the Boston skyline, 15 miles
away across Boston Harbor.
T h e b u s i n e s s m a n Jo h n
Brewer, who owned the land,
proposed that Olmsted lay out
the design for a residential development that never came to
pass. Instead, World’s End was
considered as the home of the
United Nations, and then a nuclear power plant. In the 1960s,
the peninsula was acquired by
the Trustees of Reservations.
On a recent Saturday, scores
of hikers and bikers took advantage of the carriage paths
that coil around the coastal
drumlins – spoon-shaped hills
left behind by receding glaciers.
Many had leashed dogs in tow.
There were sprawling meadows, rocky beachfront, and a

tidal marsh to explore.
A five-minute drive away,
the trustees operate Weir River
Farm, where visitors can stock
up on local and organic food.
This summer the working farm
is featuring an outdoor ar t
show along the trails, with
landscape paintings by the
farm’s one-time owner, Polly
Thayer Starr. On Thursdays
through Oct. 7, the farm hosts a
live music and picnic series.
There’s also a barnyard whose
inhabitants are wildly popular
with young animal lovers.
“ You made it!” hollered a
man walking his dog out by the
farthest point on World’s End.
Yes, we’d made it to the end
of the world, in a manner of
speaking. Even staying close to

home, there’s no telling what’s
around the next corner.

Milbury finally has his say on losing job
Dan Shaughnessy
Picked-up pieces while
sending a birthday card
to Mick Jagger, who
turns 78 on Monday . . .
R Hockey was good to
Mike Milbury, and Mike
Milbury was good for
hockey. He played for
Walpole High, Colgate,
and 12 seasons with the Bruins before becoming head coach of the Black and Gold,

taking them to the Stanley Cup Final in
his first season behind the bench. He later
coached and ran the New York Islanders,
then enjoyed a long career of hockey
broadcast analysis, where his candor and
wit made him a must-listen every year, especially at playoff time.
And then it all went away with nine
words uttered last August in the NHL
playoff bubble in Toronto, when Milbury
was on the air with fellow analyst Brian
Boucher.
Boucher was discussing life in the bubble during an Islanders-Capitals broad-

cast, concluding that the no-fan, no-family
bubble was a perfect place for teammate
bonding and good competition, when Milbury added, “Not even any women here to
disrupt your concentration.”
That was it. That’s the totality of his
transgression that got him fired after 46
years in and around the NHL, 14 with
NBC.
The league immediately condemned
Milbury’s comment as “insensitive and insulting.” Milbury left the bubble the next
day after issuing a statement that read (in
part), “In light of the attention caused by

my recent remark, I have decided to step
away from my role at NBC Sports for the
remainder of the playoffs.”
Within a few weeks, he was informed
by NBC that he would not be returning to
the broadcasts, even though he had another year on his contract.
The last paycheck from NBC has
cleared.
“Now it’s time to say something,” Milbury said Thursday on a phone call from
the Cape. “I don’t want to end 46 years of
a career like this.

NFL not
making it
easy, and
that’s good
The NFL didn’t
use the word
“mandate.” But it
did use the word
“forfeit.” And in
using the latter,
it’s quite clear the
league’s intent
was the former.
The league wants and expects players to get vaccinated against COVID-19,
for the good of their health, for the
good of their teammates’ health, for the
good of public health, and yes, for the
good of their business product.
To which I say: Good for the NFL.
Amid a pandemic with a virus constantly proving its ability to morph and
spread, the vaccine remains the best
way out of this nightmare. Its effect at
mitigating not only transmission but
severity for those unfortunate to contract it is inarguable. And as major
sports leagues exist by having their employees available to play and their
games ready to go on, enforcing policies
that make that most likely should not
be nearly as controversial as they are.
By putting in writing what should be
so patently obvious, the NFL is stepping
into a complicated breach, wherein getting a potentially pandemic-ending vaccine has turned into a political football.
But if a league so notoriously and consistently behind the eight-ball can take
the lead, if a commissioner who has
made a living out of reacting rather
than leading can be this proactive, it
deserves a moment of recognition and
thanks.
Of course there will be blowback.
That started immediately, when highprofile wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins
all but threatened retirement over vaccination in a tweet he later deleted. And
that’s his right, just as it remains his
right to choose not to get vaccinated.
But what the NFL also made clear with
Thursday’s widely circulated memo to
all 32 teams is that you cannot choose
to be free from the consequences of that
choice.
And the consequences for COVID
outbreaks among unvaccinated players
are huge. There will be no extra accommodation for rescheduling games outside of the 17-game, 18-week current
slate. There will be no Week 19. Any
team with an outbreak could be forced

walked none, and struck out
eight through seven scoreless
frames. But in his longest outing
of the year, trouble came quickly
to the righthander in the eighth
inning in the form of a leadoff
double by Estevan Florial.
After a pair of fly outs, Brett
Gardner spoiled a pair of 0-and-2
pitches before grounding a runscoring single to right on Eovaldi’s 100th pitch. Still armed with
a 3-1 lead, manager Alex Cora
summoned Ottavino to face
Giancarlo Stanton.
“The matchup we wanted,”

TOKYO — Eli Dershwitz was seeded for
silver in the saber but it could have been gold.
Or it could have been a first-round exit. Olympic fencing always is something of a roulette
spin and never so much as it is this time after
a year’s postponement and a World Cup season that wasn’t. What did rankings mean
when there were so few results upon which to
rank anyone?
The last world championships were in
2019. There was one Cup event this year in
Budapest in mid-March as the sport came out
of its COVID coma. But the international federation needed rankings to create a draw for
the Games, which is how Dershwitz, the Sherborn, Mass., native and Harvard grad, found
himself facing a former world titlist and twotime Olympic medalist in his second match.
South Korea’s Kim Jung-hwan was the
man who beat Dershwitz in the global final in
China three years ago, retired later that season, and then changed his mind. “I thought
that I accomplished everything as a fencer,”
he said. “However, I was then haunted by
feelings of emptiness.”
So Kim came back as a scary spectre in the
36-man field, a 15th-seeded contender in the
bottom quadrant just waiting to upend someone. That someone was Dershwitz, who’d dispatched Japan’s Kaito Streets in his first
match while Kim was taking care of ROC’s (as
in Russia’s) Konstantin Lokhanov.
Dershwitz’s intensive training had prepared him for whatever unsettling apparition
he might encounter on the piste. The point
was to put mind and body through hell in
practice, to push himself through “pain, adversity, and stress” so that he could handle
whatever might be in his way at the Games.
Dershwitz fought Kim on even terms for
most of their 10-minute encounter. Then the
Korean ran off five points in a row to go up,
14-8, conceded one more point, then finished
off Dershwitz. No loser’s bracket, no

enjoyed the good life against the
Yankees.
The team appeared ready to
cruise to a second-high 23 games
over .500 while mushing New
York to a 10-game deficit in the
division. Starter Nate Eovaldi delivered an outing of remarkable
efficiency and dominance. The
lineup backed him with a 3-0 advantage — bountiful for a team
that had not lost a single game in

which it led by more than two
runs at any point.
Yet in a single inning, the day
morphed from picturesque to
grotesque. The Yankees rallied
for four runs in the eighth in a
dizzying 4-3 comeback victory.
“I was stunned by the whole
ordeal,” grimaced reliever Adam
Ottavino. “It’s a cruel game sometimes.”
The rally was forged on the
strength of an improbable amalgamation of grounders and
bloopers against Eovaldi and
Ottavino (2-3).
Eovaldi had scattered six hits,

Bucks showed Celtics the championship path
Gary Washburn

I

f you are a Celtics fan who just
sat and watched Jeff Teague win
a championship and the Bucks
click at the perfect time behind
the brilliant Giannis Antetokounmpo, there has to be a sense of frustration and anger.
Could the Celtics have been the
Bucks? If the right moves were made,
could Boston have made a similar title
run with its stars and a veteran-laden
bench? It’s a question to ponder because the moves the Celtics passed on
were the type of ones the Bucks made,
and they won a championship as a result.
The Bucks signed Bobby Portis for
less than $7 million over two years.
They traded a first-round pick for P.J.
Tucker. They re-signed Brook Lopez
and Pat Connaughton over the past
year. They made a gutsy trade to acquire Jrue Holiday. General manager
John Horst’s plan worked. The veterans played well enough to complement
Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton.
While the Celtics decided the best
method was to rely on rookies, the
Bucks used all of their assets for veterans to take advantage of their title window. Such moves don’t always work, so
this could be perceived as a case of
Monday morning quarterbacking, but
it was disappointing that former president of basketball operations Danny
Ainge did not make the significant
moves to boost the bench and give the
Celtics a chance at making a run.
Tristan Thompson was the Celtics’
primary offseason acquisition and he
enjoyed his moments, but he also spent
a considerable time out in COVID-19
protocol and did not make the expected impact. Teague was traded to Orlando to clear a roster spot at the trade
deadline and was eventually picked up
by the Bucks’ Mike Budenholzer, his
former coach in Atlanta. The Bucks
carried themselves with a bigger sense
of urgency than the Celtics and it paid
off.
So, how to the Celtics get back into
Eastern Conference contention? The
Bucks aren’t even favored to make the
2022 Finals. That would be the Brooklyn Nets. The Hawks, Knicks, 76ers,
and Heat are almost certainly going to
take steps forward.
And then here comes teams such as
the Hornets, Wizards, and Pacers. The
Celtics have a lot of work to do if they
want to follow the Bucks’ blueprint.
New president of basketball operations Brad Stevens is already off to an
encouraging start, trading high-priced
point guard Kemba Walker for Al Horford and Moses Brown to bolster the
frontcourt. Stevens gave Oklahoma
City the 16th overall pick in that trade.
Although the Celtics could always use
another prospect, they have loaded
their roster with youngsters who did
not develop, and that’s been their biggest issue.
That trade allowed the Celtics salary-cap flexibility but not enough for any
major additions, unless Stevens can
pull of a Portis-type signing and add a
veteran on an undervalued contact.
Stevens’s biggest decisions over the
next two weeks is whether he should
pursue re-signing Evan Fournier, who
will play for Team France against Celtics teammate Jayson Tatum on Sunday
in the Olympic opener.
The advantage for the Celtics is they
own Fournier’s Bird rights, meaning
they can re-sign him with no regard for
the salary cap. Fournier becomes their
most attractive free agent because of

to Milwaukee after 50 years.

this. Stevens also has $11 million from
the trade exception created by the Gordon Hayward sign-and-trade with
Charlotte that could be used in a deal.
What will put the Celtics over the
top is attracting key roles players as the
Bucks did with Portis, Connaughton,
and former Spurs guard Bryn Forbes.
That trio made a combined $10.1 million this past season in salary, just
above what Thompson earned for the
Celtics.
Value has to be the Celtics’ best
friend in any rebuild because they have
committed so much money to Tatum,
Jaylen Brown, and now Horford. Ainge
declined to sign bargain free agents,
putting faith in youngsters such as
Semi Ojeleye, Grant Williams, Carsen
Edwards, and Romeo Langford to
mixed and mostly disappointing results.
The Celtics need to get older this offseason.
Milwaukee chased a seasoned veteran in Tucker (36) to supplement their
defense and snatched Portis (26) after
one solid but not spectacular season
with the Knicks. Portis’s field goal percentage (45.0 to 52.3) and 3-point percentage (35.8 to 47.1) jumped in his
first season with the Bucks. That was
good fortune and most teams that win
championships get career or bounceback years from veteran acquisitions.
Stevens wanted more influence on
personnel decisions and he has all the
power now that he’s team president.
So, he will have to rely on his basketball acumen to grab the right veteran
free agents. Or he can potentially workout a sign-and-trade for a restricted
free agent such as the Pelicans’ Lonzo
Ball or the Heat’s Duncan Robinson.
Considering the rapid rise of the
Suns, in addition to the success of the
Bucks, it’s possible for the Celtics to
contend next season with the right
moves. But Stevens is going to have to
take calculated risks, bank on new
coach Ime Udoka selling Boston as a
place for free agents to flourish, and be
more about the now than the future.
That’s usually how teams win in today’s NBA. They worry about the future
in the future.

ETC.

Antetokounmpo
a role model
It’s not fair to point out the Celtics
passed on drafting Giannis Antetokounmpo in 2013 in favor of Kelly
Olynyk because several teams also
passed on the Greek Freak. Anthony
Bennett, Otto Porter, Cody Zeller, Nerlens Noel, Ben McLemore, Trey Burke,
and Michael Carter-Williams were
among those taken ahead of Antetokounmpo, who now goes down as the
most egregious draft slip in league history.
The two-time MVP entered this season with consecutive playoff failures.
The Bucks were unceremoniously
knocked out of the bubble by the Heat
last season with Antetokounmpo battling a sprained ankle. The prior year,
the Bucks were up on the Kawhi Leonard-led Raptors, two games to none,
before losing four straight in the Eastern Conference finals.
This season, Antetokounmpo responded from a scary knee injury in
Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals and played brilliantly in the Finals,
swishing his free throws, attacking the
rim, draining the occasional 3-pointer,
and scoring in the paint at will. The
Suns, despite the presence of Deandre
Ayton, had no answer.
It was simply Giannis’s time. When
he signed a $228 million maximum extension in December, he said his work
in Milwaukee wasn’t done. He wanted
to bring the small-market city its first
title in 50 years and prove that he is
more than just a regular-season wonder.
Antetokounmpo’s story is compelling because the reason many passed
on him was because he was frail and
unproven as a 18-year-old prospect
from Greece. He was physically gifted
with height and reach but uncoordinated and rail-thin.
A relentless work ethic, fueled by
his days of selling trinkets in the streets
of Athens as a teenager, led to his remarkable ascension.
“A lot of kids from there. But not
just from Nigeria; all Africa and all Europe. I know I’m a role model,” he said
after the title-clinching Game 6 Tuesday night in Milwaukee. “But this
should make every person, every kid,
anybody around the world believe in
their dreams. No matter whatever you
feel when you’re down, when you don’t

No shot
Ben Simmons was exposed in the playoffs, and now the
former No. 1 overall pick is the subject of trade rumors.
The guard was unreliable down the stretch, especially from
the free throw line. According to stathead.com, Simmons
is one of four players to shoot 35 percent or worse while
attempting at least six free throws per game in a single
postseason.

think it’s going to happen for you or
you might not make it in your career —
might be basketball, might be anything
— just believe in what you’re doing and
keep working. Don’t let nobody tell you
what you can be and what you cannot
do.
“People told me I cannot make free
throws. I made my free throws tonight
and I’m a freaking champion. I made
them when I’m supposed to make
them. I’m joking — actually, I’m not
[laughter].
“Just believe, man. I hope I give people around the world, from Africa,
from Europe, hope that it can be done.
It can be done.”
Antetokounmpo said he was inspired by a 2017 conversation with the
late, great Kobe Bryant, who told him
he had a chance to be the league’s MVP.
Antetokounmpo already has accomplished that feat — twice.
What Antetokounmpo established
during this NBA Finals run is that he is
as much a motivator and league
spokesman as a high-flying dunker. He
realizes he is a role model, one of the
great stories of perseverance and sur-

kee, that’s the main reason I signed because I didn’t want to let the people
down and think that I didn’t work extremely hard for them, which I do. But
to be able to accomplish those things,
it’s crazy. It’s unreal. It’s freaking unreal. I can’t believe it.”
What saved the Bucks during this
run is the steady play of Khris Middleton. Celtics fans watched as the thenemerging star punished Boston in playoff series in 2018 and ‘19. He never
seemed to miss. He became a more reliable scorer and playmaker during this
playoff run, and his ascension is one of
the primary reasons he was added to
Team USA.
“I love Khris to death, man,” Antetokounmpo said. “It’s crazy. But same
thing I said out there, that he doesn’t
realize how much he pushes me to be
great. I had people push me to be great
and be persistent and just be dominant
and just keep coming and keep working hard. He’s one of those guys.
“You know, there was nobody in this
world that I would rather do this journey with than that guy. He’s been here
since the beginning. He’s been since the
day we were fighting for some minutes.
He was yelling to me when I was 18. He
was yelling to me to pass the ball and
everything. We were fighting on the
court when we were kids, and now
we’re on this stage doing it together.”
Antetokounmpo could have played
the free agency game, signed with
Miami or Dallas, and formed a super
team. But his commitment to Milwaukee altered the power structure in the
NBA, and it also serves as encouragement and a blueprint for other smallmarket stars such as Donovan Mitchell
of Utah and Devin Booker of Phoenix.
“We have to enjoy this moment. We
have to share this moment. Maybe we
might not have another moment like
this,” Antetokounmpo said. “We can’t
predict the future. But we have to live
in the moment, enjoy this moment. I
hope Khris enjoys it with his family.
And he played amazing throughout the
whole playoffs. He led us when I was
down. He gave me a chance to come
back.
“But once we’re done enjoying this,
we’ve got to get back to work. We’ve got
to do it again. That’s how me and Khris
operate.”

“When I came to the league, I didn’t
know where my next meal will come
from,” he said. “My mom was selling
stuff in the street. Now I’m here sitting
at the top of the top. I’m extremely
blessed. If I never have a chance to sit
at this table ever again, I’m fine with it.
I hope this can give everybody around
the world hope. I want them to believe
in their dreams.
“It means a lot. It started almost like
a joke at first. It was a challenge to
players, and I was like, ‘Let me just
shoot my shot.’ Kind of like, ‘What’s my
challenge?’ and he was like, ‘MVP.’ But
at first I was, like, joking. I didn’t think
he was going to respond to me.
“But when he did, he made me believe. I’m like, ‘Kobe Bryant thinks I
can do this and I can play at a high level and build my team and win my
MVP?’ I had to do it. I had to work
hard. And to not necessarily let him
down. I had to work hard because people believed that I can do it.
“That’s the thing. I’m a people pleaser. I don’t like letting people down.

Now the season is over and the
Bucks have prevailed, the business of
basketball takes over, and Milwaukee
will have to determine which players to
bring back. P.J. Tucker has an expiring
contract at $7.2 million, and at 36 this
may be his last NBA contract. He will
garner a serious look on the market.
Bobby Portis, signed for a bargain at
$3.6 million this past season, has a
player option that he most certainly
will decline. Portis, with his impressive
postseason performance, will certainly
command a deal in the range of $10
million per season and an opportunity
to start. Portis has played for some bad
teams and he was overlooked in the
free agent market before the Bucks
brought him on. Beyond those two, the
Bucks can return intact to defend their
title. As for Phoenix, Chris Paul has a
$44 million player option that may not
be such a cinch decision. He could opt
out and agree to a three-year deal with
another contender or return to the
Suns. Paul, despite a tough NBA Finals
performance, will command considerable attention from teams needing a
point guard. The Lakers may try to
jump into the competition. Cameron
Payne, who resuscitated his career by
becoming a productive backup to Paul,
is a free agent and he will also command attention. Payne earned just $1.9
million this past season and could quadruple that in free agency. The core of
the Suns is secure, but the club will
have to create cap space for expected
extensions for Ayton and Mikal Bridges
. . . The Clippers will likely begin next
season without Kawhi Leonard, if he
opts into the final year of his contract.
Leonard was diagnosed with a partially
torn anterior cruciate ligament and
underwent surgery this past week. The
injury would not affect his free agent
status were he to opt out. Despite the
knee injury, he would soar to the No. 1
free agent on the market. Free agency
begins Aug. 1 . . . JaVale McGee said he
had been working out and staying in
shape when he got the phone call to
join Team USA at the Tokyo Olympics.
The reserve center said he is ready to
contribute. “I saw the call come in and
iPhones are too smart now because it
said ‘USA’ on the phone. I figured
something had happened [with the roster] and my reaction was excitement,
ready to get to it,” he said.

Bruins go with tall centermen on Day 2
Harrison (6-2)
first of six teens
By Kevin Paul Dupont
GLOBE STAFF

The Bruins on Saturday added a half-dozen teenagers to
their hopes-and-dreams portfolio, including a pair of tall
centermen, one of whom is future BC pivot Andre Gasseau, in
the wrapup of the NHL’s two-day
amateur entry draft.
Gasseau, 6 feet 4 inches, is
headed to BC in September
2022, after a prep tour at USHL
Fargo this season, and fellow
pivot Brett Harrison (6-2) the
club’s top pick of the day (No. 85
overall), will continue his career
at OHL Oshawa, former home of
the legendary Bobby Orr.
The Bruins made six picks
across the six-round exercise
that took some seven hours to
complete. They also added a
Swedish goalie (Philip Svedeback), a Swedish left winger (Oskar Jellvik), a big blue liner (Ryan Mast, 6-4/215 pounds),and a
power-play specialist (Tyler Gallagher) who is about to enter BU.
His trademark: accurate shooting from above the faceoff circles.

“As the draft went along, we
were able to hit a bunch of
spots,” said Ryan Nadeau, the
club’s associate director of amateur scouting. “We went sort of
excitement, high-end offense
and skill right away [No. 1 pick
Fabian Lysell on Friday]. We got
some size in the middle [at center]. We picked up a goalie . . .
then speed and offense [Jellvik],
a big stong D’man [Mast], then a
big centerman [Gasseau] who
has come a long way . . . and
then to get Ty Gallagher, an active and involved defenseman.
“So we sort of hit a few different areas, even in terms of
leagues . . . from an overall
standpoint. Having seven picks
was good, it gave us a few more
swings.”
Harrison, who played the
2019-20 season with OHL Oshawa, was the club’s first pick of
the day. He played but a handful
of games in Finland this past
season, in part due to COVID-19
disruption across the hockey
world.
Harrison, who grew up in the
Kingston, Ontario, area, played
for Team Canada in this past season’s World Junior Championship and logged a 2-0—2 line in
seven games.

In his most recent junior season, with the Oshawa Generals,
Harrison ranked sixth in team
scoring (21-16—37 in 58 games).
“A tough year for everyone,”
he said. “I’ve tried to make the
best out of any situation.”
Harrison lives in greater London, Ontario, and is training
there for the summer. A center,
he fashions his game after Bruins pivot Patrice Bergeron, and
said he also is comfortable playing either wing. Unlike
Bergeron, he is a lefthanded
shot.
“I’ve always been a Bruins
fan, it just ran through the family,” he said. “It was a dream come
true when I saw my name pop
up — a moment I will never forget.”
Harrison was on target this
past season to return to OHL Oshawa, but with the start of play
delayed there because of COVID19 restrictions, he opted for a
chance to play in Finland.
When the pandemic shut
down the most of the leagues in
Europe, he headed back to
North America in March. He later joined a Canadian U-18 team
that trained in Texas.
“I can play in all areas of the
ice, and all positions,” said Harri-

son, asked to describe his game.
“I’m a centerman and I also can
play both sides of the wing, as
well. I have very high hockey IQ
and a really great scoring touch
. . . find the soft areas in front of
the net and in the slot, and I love
going to the dirty areas and producing off my chances in front.”
Most, if not all, of the picks
will attend the Bruins’ development camp, Aug. 2-6, in Brighton.
Svedeback is headed this season to play at USHL Dubuque
and was chosen at No. 117.
Svedeback, 6-3 and 192
pounds, appeared in only 14
games last season, a dozen of
those with his junior team in
Vaxjo in southern Sweden. He
made the jump to the Vaxjo varsity in the Swedish League, and
was loaned to Hammarby, where
he lost his two decisions. He will
be in the USHL all season while
the Bruins sort out their net.
Veteran stopper Tuukka Rask
in the coming days is expected to
undergo surgery for a torn hip
labrum. He would not be able to
play in the first half of the season
and he remains without a contract as an unrestricted free
agent.
Meanwhile, coach Bruce

Cassidy is expected to enter the
season with Jeremy Swayman
and Dan Vladar as his top contenders for the net. GM Don
Sweeney did say recently that he
is considering adding a veteran
stopper in a role likely to act as
an insurance policy if Swayman
or Vladar were to struggle.
The Bruins continued their
rush on the Swedish talent market with their fourth pick, Jellvik, a left winger, at No. 149. The
5-11 Jellvik played junior last
season at Djurgardens and probably will play there again in ’2122, though he did not rule out
playing US college hockey.
“It’s an option . . . I don’t like
to shut any doors or options,” he
said. “School is very important
for my family, so yeah, it’s an option.”
Jellvik said he does not know
Svedeback, and has not faced
him in a game, but he has been
on the ice against Lysell.
“Fabian is a great player,” he
said. “His offensive skills are unbelievable . . . when he comes off
the rush against a [defenseman],
he’s going to toe drag, put it between his legs, and put it in the
top corner. Great guy . . . I’ve
known him for many years.”
The Bruins used the 181st

pick of the weekend to select the
towering Mast.
Like many kids, Mast did not
play in a league this past season,
following his 2019-’20 season
with OHL Sarnia, where he posted a 1-10-11 line in 58 games.
He played 10 games in a showcase camp in Erie, Pa., that was
structured for players left without a place to play.
“That was all I had for a season pretty much,” he said, “but it
was a good 10 games and I was
happy to get those games in —
I’m excited to get a full season
going again next year.”
Ma s t , f r o m B l o o m f i e l d ,
Mich., plans to return to Sarnia
for the upcoming season. He was
ranked the 89th best skater in
North America by the NHL’s
Central Scouting Bureau.
With their final two picks
(213, 217), the Bruins selected
the California-raised Gasseau,
who’ ll arrive at the Heights a
year from September, and Gallagher. Both played last season
with the US National Team Development Program.

NHL DRAFT

Local prospects receive call
Carolina picks
UMass’s Morrow
By Brendan Kurie
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

Scott Morrow is all smiles.
On Saturday, the 18-year-old
right-shot defenseman became
the Carolina Hurricanes’ first
pick in the NHL Draft, at No. 40
overall. But before he begins his
professional journey, he’ ll be
joining UMass, the defending
national champions.
“I’m super excited,” Morrow
said over Zoom from Plymouth,
Mich., where he is taking part in
the World Junior Summer Showcase.
The 6-foot-2-inch, 195pounder grew up in Darien,
Conn., before attending prep
hockey powerhouse Shattuck-St.
Mary’s in Faribault, Minn. In
three seasons with the school’s
18-and-under prep team, he tallied 167 points (45 goals, 122 assists).
Morrow initially committed
to North Dakota before switching to UMass. He spent two
weeks in Amherst this summer.
“I’m really liking it out there.
It’s great to be joining the culture there, which is really special
and is really No. 1,” Morrow said.
“I think I can bring a lot of
things and hopefully we can go
back to back and I can win a national championship, too.”
Morrow’s selection with the
eighth pick of the second round
— which Carolina acquired in a
trade — was one of 21 Day 2
picks who have New England
ties. Here are some of the most
notable:
Nate Benoit, Mount St. Charles
— A New Hampshire native who
committed to Providence College before going to play for the
London Knights (OHL), Benoit
was taken in the sixth round
(182nd overall) by the Wild. The

6-2 defensemen spent two seasons at the Rhode Island prep
school, recording 83 points in 96
games.
Shane Lachance, Andover/Tabor — A sixth-round pick (186th
overall) by the Oilers, the 6-4
winger played the 2018-19 season for Andover High and the
2019-20 season at Tabor Academy. His father, Scott Lachance,
was picked fourth overall by the
Islanders in 1991 and went on to
play 819 games. Shane Lachance
is committed to Boston University, where his grandfather, Jack
Parker, coached for 40 years,
leading the Terriers to three national titles.
Cooper Flinton, St. Paul’s School
— A Dartmouth College commit,
Flinton was taken in the seventh
round (211th overall) by the
Lightning.
Josh Lopina, UMass Amherst —
The first Minuteman to earn
Hockey East Co-Rookie of the
Year recognition, Lopina went to
the Ducks with the second pick
of the fourth round (98th overall). A 6-2, 190-pound center, he
finished ninth in the nation
among freshmen with 23 points
(nine goals, 14 assists) in 29
games.
Owen McLaughlin, Mount St.
Charles — A 6-foot center from
Pennsylvania, McLaughlin was
selected with the 14th pick of
the seventh round by the Flyers.
He scored 16 goals with 38 assists last season at Mount St.
Charles and is committed to
Penn State.
Bryce Montgomery, Cushing
Academy — Selected in the sixth
round (170 th overall) by the
Hurricanes, the Maryland native
played in Ashburnham during
the 2018-19 season, recording
seven assists. A 6-5, 220-pound
defenseman, he committed to
Providence before opting to play
two seasons for London.
The remainder of Saturday’s

local selections were committed
to play collegiately in New England:
UMass — Forward Taylor Makar. The younger brother of former UMass star and current Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar, who signed a six-year, $54
million deal Saturday, was taken
220th by the Avalanche . . . Ryan
Ufko was selected with the 14th
pick of the fourth round (115th
overall) by the Predators.
B o s t o n Co l l e g e — A i d e n
Hreschuk, a 5-11 defenseman
from California was taken 94th
by the Hurricanes . . . The Bruins
picked up Andre Gasseau with
the 21st selection of the seventh
round (213th overall).
Boston University — The Bruins took Ty Gallagher, a 6-foot
defenseman, with their final
pick (217th overall).
Harvard — Aku Koskenvuo, a
Finnish goalie, was taken in the
fifth round (137 th overall) by
the Canucks. With the very next
pick, the Hurricanes selected
Jack Bar, a 6-2 defenseman.
New Hampshire — Stevin
Sardarian was selected in the
third round (88th overall) by the
Sabres . . . The Lightning picked
defenseman Alex Gagne in the
sixth round (192nd overall).

Cam Atkinson,
who starred at
Boston College,
scored 213
goals in 627
games with the
Blue Jackets.

Atkinson shipped to Flyers
ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Philadelphia Flyers sent
Jakub Voracek to the Columbus
Blue Jackets for Cam Atkinson
on Saturday,
NHL
the first major
NOTEBOOK trade on the
second day of
the NHL Draft.
Atkinson wasted no time
showing his allegiance to his
new team, wearing a Gritty Tshirt on a media Zoom session
only 30 minutes after the undersized winger with scoring pop
was shipped to the Flyers.
The shirt is his wife’s — a gift
from best friend and former Flyers forward Scott Hartnell.
“Everything is all aligned
perfectly,” Atkinson said. “We’re
ready for this. Couldn’t be more
excited.”
Voracek, who turns 32 next
month, returns to the team that
drafted him in 2007 after a
much-needed split with the Flyers, with whom he spent the
past 10 seasons and put up 604
points in 727 games.
Atkinson, who starred at
Boston College, leaves the only
NHL organization he has ever

known after scoring 213 goals in
627 games with the Blue Jackets.
“I didn’t ask for a trade, but I
don’t think this couldn’t have
worked out any better,” he said.
“It gets to a point where losing
isn’t fun. Who knows how the
Blue Jackets are going to do this
year? It’s pretty obvious what
they’re trying to do right now. To
see all my best buddies leave,
that was tough to say the least.”
Columbus has traded Atkinson, Seth Jones, David Savard,
and captain Nick Foligno over
the past four months.
“This is a significant trade for
our club and we are very excited
to welcome Jake Voracek back to
the Blue Jackets family,” Columbus general manager Jarmo
Kekalainen said. “He is a powerful, dynamic offensive player
that will be a significant contributor to our club.”
It’s Philadelphia’s second major trade in two days after acquiring defenseman Rasmus
Ristolainen from Buffalo for the
No. 14 pick this year and a 2023
second-rounder. After taking on
Ristolainen’s big contract, GM

Chuck Fletcher saved more than
$2 million in cap space by swapping Voracek for Atkinson.

Makar rewarded
Before the second day of the
draft got under way, the Avalanche signed top defenseman
Cale Makar to a $54 million, sixyear contract that will count $9
million against the salary cap
through the 2026-27 season.
His deal comes on the heels
of Chicago acquiring Jones from
Columbus and extending the
star defenseman for $76 million
over eight seasons and Dallas
inking Miro Heiskanen to a
$67.6 million, eight-year contract.
Makar, a former UMass Amherst star, was a point-a-game
player last season, his second in
the NHL, and the 22-year-old
has 94 points in his first 101 regular-season games.
He’s set to make $8 million
next season, $9 million in the
second year, then $11 million,
$10.6 million, $8.7 million, and
$6.7 million as part of a contract
that takes into account the expected rise of the salary cap.

GOLF ROUNDUP

Another major move for Lee6, who leads Evian by five
ASSOCIATED PRESS

The day after making golfing
history, Jeongeun Lee6 extended
her Evian Championship lead to
five strokes after a 3-under-par
68 in the third round on Saturday. in Evian-Les-Bains, France.
She’s at 18 under overall and
the nearest challenger is teenage
American Yealimi Noh at 13 under after carding a 4-under 67.
The 2015 champion Lydia Ko
posted a 68 and was one shot behind the 19-year-old Noh.
Minjee Lee’s 6-under 65
moved her into a three-way tie
for fourth spot at 11 under with
Ayaka Furue and Pajaree Anannarukarn, who drifted back with
a 1-over 72.
On Friday, Lee6 tied the golf
majors record for the lowest
round ever by any golfer with a
10-under 61, while her history-

making 36-hole score of 127 was
the lowest in a major, beating
the 128 by Brooks Koepka at the
2019 PGA Championship.
But on Saturday Lee6 had a
mixed bag of three bogeys, four
birdies, and an eagle.
Lee6 birdied again on 10, eagled 11, bogeyed 17 after swiping an approach way wide from
the fairway, and birdied 18.
Inbee Park, a seven-time major winner who won the Evian in
2012 before it became a major,
was out of contention and tied at
16th at 7 under after a par 71.
PGA — Cameron Tringale made
a short par putt on the treacherous par-5 18th hole at the 3M
Open in Blaine, Minn., for a 5under-par 66 and a one-stroke
lead Saturday over Gary Woodland and Maverick McNealy.
Tringale, who tied for third

last year at the TPC Twin Cities,
eagled the par-5 12th and had
three birdies in a bogey-free
round. Winless on the PGA Tour,
the 33-year-old topped the
crowded leaderboard at 12-under 201.
Woodland overcame a double bogey on No. 1 with birdies
on five of his next six holes in a
67. McNealy had a bogey-free
68.
Pat Perez shot a 66 to join an
eight-way tie for fourth, two
shots off the lead. Four players
were three strokes back. Louis
Oosthuizen, the highest-ranked
player remaining at No. 9 in the
world and in the FedEx Cup
standings, was in a six-way tie
for 16th place at only four shots
behind.
During yet another unseasonable day of 90-plus-degree

heat, the scores crept up
throughout the afternoon with
the thermometer as drier and
breezier air affected the play.
Keith Mitchell had a recordtying seven straight birdies to
start his round on his way to a
29 on the back nine. The front
nine? He posted a 37 for a 66
that left him four strokes behind
Tringale.
Seniors — Stephen Dodd shot
an outstanding 8-under 62 to
take a two-stroke lead after three
rounds of the Senior British
Open in Sunningdale, England.
The 55-year-old Welshman
made four birdies on the first
five holes and nine on the day at
Sunningdale. He dropped a shot
on the 10th but his otherwise
stellar performance had him on
11-under 199.
Jerry Kelly, a 54-year-old

American, was two shots back
after carding a 68 and day two
leader Darren Clarke (70)
slipped three strokes off the lead
in the final senior major championship of the year.
Defending champion Bernhard Langer (70) was four shots
off the pace with Miguel Angel
Jimenez (67) and Paul Broadhurst (69). Broadhurst won in
2016 and was runner-up in
2019.
The 63-year-old Langer won
in 2019 at Royal Lytham & St.
Annes for his fourth victory in
the event. The 2020 tournament
was canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Two-time British Open champion Ernie Els (70) was five
shots back after three rounds.
US Junior Amateur — Nicholas
Dunlap, 17, won at The Country

Club of North Carolina by beating Cohen Trolio, 3 and 2, in the
36-hole final.
Dunlap, from Huntsville,
Ala., won three straight holes to
take control and finished off the
18-year-old Trolio, from West
Point, Miss., with a par win on
the par-3 34th.
Trolio missed a chance to
take the par-5 30 th when he
pulled a 4-foot birdie putt left,
and Dunlap increased his lead to
three with a par win on the par-3

Hockey
Bruins must center their attention on pivots

T

he Bruins’ most pressing order of business entering the
weekend concerned their
second-line forwards and
their second defense pair.
Without a No. 2 center behind Patrice Bergeron, this team’s ability to
contend would be in serious doubt.
Longtime pivot David Krejci, 35, remained mysterious about his plans,
which could include retirement from
the NHL, finishing his career in his native Czech Republic, or returning on a
short-term deal. He had not informed
the Bruins of his intentions entering
this weekend’s draft.
When asked if Krejci’s indecision
put him in a bind, Bruins general manager Don Sweeney shook his head.
“We have guys that can step into
roles,” he said. “Obviously, we’ll address
needs and throughout our lineup, certainly explore options to have. We’re going to have to find a way to spread
things around if David makes a decision otherwise, but that hasn’t been the
indication. We’re hopeful that he’ll
come back.”
Lest they give Charlie Coyle and his
rehabbing knee and 22-year-old Jack
Studnicka the middle-six center jobs,
the Bruins were rumored to be weighing a trade for Arizona’s Christian Dvorak, the 25-year-old who has been filling
as the Coyotes’ No. 1 center In Boston,
Dvorak ($4.45 million cap hit through
2025) would reunite with newly extended Bruin Taylor Hall, who had a
brief run in the desert two seasons ago.
The free agent market is light on
centers this year, so a trade appears to
be the most sensible path to filling the
middle — assuming this is the end of
the Krejci-Hall connection.
There’s no shortage of defensemen
on the UFA market, which should help
the Bruins fill their left-side needs.
Could they outbid the Islanders, Avalanche, Stars, and Panthers for Ryan
Suter, the 36-year-old veteran bought
out by the Wild? Suter still has plenty of
game and would fit in well next to
Charlie McAvoy or Brandon Carlo.
Suter never quite lived up to the 13year, $98 million ticket he signed with
Minnesota in 2012. The buyouts of him
and Zach Parise, who signed and was
brought on in lockstep with Suter, will
cost the Wild some $12 million-$14
million against the cap from the fall of
2022 to summer of 2025. Not the Bruins’ problem, and it could help persuade Suter to take a deal in Boston
that lands around the $4-5 million
range.
Another defender, Vancouver’s Nate
Schmidt, could be a trade option.
Schmidt makes $5.95 million per season, which the Bruins may not want to
pay in full, but he has skating and puckmoving talent that could play nicely in
Boston. It didn’t work with the Canucks
for Schmidt last season, following his
move from Vegas.
When on his game, Schmidt provides quality even-strength minutes,
contributes on the penalty kill, and
brings a heavy one-timer on the power
play.
There are other teams expected to
be much more active once the opening
bell rings on the market. Such as:
R Seattle, we think. Entering the expansion draft, the Kraken reportedly
asked for the moon in return if they
were to take on other teams’ bad contracts. So, they were left with a ton of
cap space ($30 million as of Thursday
evening). They could sign top UFAs
Dougie Hamilton and Gabriel
Landeskog, and make a run in a weak
Pacific Division. Anaheim, San Jose,
Los Angeles, and Vancouver were four
of the bottom eight teams in the league
last season.
The Kraken could make their big
splash next season, when centers such
as Tomas Hertl, Mika Zibanejad,
Pierre-Luc Dubois, and Sean Couturier
could be available. We think Brayden
Point and Aleksander Barkov will stay
in the state of Florida, but you never
know.
Or, Seattle could purposefully stay
near the cap floor, hoping for a shot at
future No. 1 overall candidates Shane
Wright (2022) and Connor Bedard
(2023). This year’s group was considered by some prominent analysts to be
a weak draft class. I’m not so sure —
scouts and team personnel keep telling
me this is a difficult group to assess,
given how player development was
hampered by the pandemic. But everyone seems to agree the next two classes
are stronger than this one. Not a bad
spot to be, so high in the draft.
The Kraken look built to win a lot of
low-scoring games, with strong (albeit
unproven) netminding and a gigantic
defense. Adding the shot-happy Hamilton, who was an excellent fit next to Se-

Postseason player
While the Lightning repeated as Stanley Cup champions, Nikita Kucherov didn’t take home the Conn Smythe
Trophy (as voted by the Professional Hockey Writers’ Association) as the top performer of the playoffs for
the second straight season, even though he posted a rare 30-point postseason for the second consecutive
year. In the last 25 years, there have been only nine 30-point postseasons, and Kucherov is the only
player among that list to have more than one. (source: NHL.com.)

attle draftee Mark Giordano during
their years in Calgary, would be a perfect fit with a group of gritty, puckhunting forwards. You’d see so many
rebound putbacks, you’d think the SuperSonics had returned.
A seismic move that almost surely
will not happen: Seattle sends an offer
sheet for RFA Elias Pettersson north to
cap-strapped Vancouver, to make their
new rivals sweat. Offer sheets are rare
as comets, but boy, that’d be fun. The
compensation for an offer sheet of approximately $8.7 million to $10.9 million is two first-round picks, a second,
and a third. For a star No. 1 center,
that’s worth it.
R Minnesota needs a top-line center,
and it does appear Jack Eichel is a desired trade target. But GM Bill Guerin
has more immediate issues, such as the
fact star-in-the-making Kirill Kaprizov
reportedly wants a short-term deal
(that would bring him to the UFA market in 2024), rather than an eight-year
deal worth in the $8-9 million range.
To get Kaprizov an elite pivot, would
the Wild surrender top prospects Matt
Boldy and Marco Rossi, along with a
couple of first-rounders? It had to hurt
to see Sam Reinhart, Eichel’s pal in Buffalo and an RFA, get traded to Florida
on Friday night. He was a prime target.
R Carolina, with zero goalies under
contract entering the weekend, will be
shopping that aisle. The Hurricanes are
in win-now mode, but it made little
sense to see GM Don Waddell ship Alex
Nedeljkovic, ostensibly his goalie of the
future, to Detroit for next to nothing (a
third-round pick and UFA rights to Jonathan Bernier). The Hurricanes reportedly low-balled the restricted Nedeljkovic, who immediately signed with
Steve Yzerman’s outfit for two years at
$3 million per.
It’s hard to make heads or tails of
the Hurricanes’ plan for Nedeljkovic,
whom they took in the second round
(37th overall) in 2014. They developed
him in the minors for four seasons,
while getting so-so varsity work from
the likes of Petr Mrazek (good when
healthy), Curtis McElhinney, and
James Reimer, and saw their prospect
earn All-Rookie and Calder finalist recognition. Rather than engage in arbitration, they cut bait.
Frederik Andersen makes a lot of
sense as a replacement. Will the Hurricanes reach into Philipp Grubauer territory, with Andrei Svechnikov (RFA) on
the way to a megadeal?
R St. Louis needs offensive help, particularly with UFAs Jaden Schwartz
and Mike Hoffman testing the market.
Friday’s move to add Pavel Buchnevich,
who could take over for Vladimir Tarasenko atop the No. 1 line, may take the
Blues out of the Landeskog bidding unless they find a new home for the disgruntled Tarasenko.
Best-case scenario for the Blues:
Tarasenko bounces back from his
shoulder issues and soldiers on.

FINDING A FIT

Garland is one
to keep eye on
A few extra Bruins-related thoughts:
R The Bruins didn’t wind up with
Conor Garland, the Scituate-bred right
wing, but they avoided taking on the
Oliver Ekman-Larsson reclamation
project when the pair was shipped to
Vancouver for $12 million of bad contracts (including ex-Bruin Loui Eriksson).
Garland, who scored at a 20-goal,
65-point pace and was a one-man attack for the Coyotes, didn’t sound chagrined over leaving Arizona.
“Everybody knows what’s gone on
here,” Garland, who is an RFA, told reporters. “We haven’t heard anything
from the team since maybe three days
after the season ended when they asked
for our offer. It’s been a while waiting
for that. You just want to go where
you’re wanted.”
If the Bruins were ever to offer-sheet
someone, Garland ($775,000 last season) would be a prime candidate.
R If Seth Jones, who signed an eightyear, $76 million deal with Chicago after Friday’s blockbuster trade, is making $9.5 million against the cap, what is
Charlie McAvoy going to earn when his
deal expires next summer?
R The first Bruins games at Florida
(Oct. 27), Toronto (Nov. 6), Montreal
(Dec. 18), and Tampa Bay (Jan. 8) were
immediately circled when the schedule
came out Thursday. But assuming the
NHL goes to Beijing and the slate remains unchanged, the best road trip of
the season for those itching to travel is
the post-Olympics Seattle swing. The
Bruins will make their first appearance
in Seattle on Feb. 24 before heading to
San Jose (Feb. 26), Los Angeles (Feb.
28), Anaheim (March 1), and Las Vegas
(March 3).
R Tuukka Rask, scheduled to undergo surgery around Aug. 1, might spend
some of the season on long-term injured reserve. The netminder also
might spend some of his free time doing book appearances with pal Shawn
Thornton. Rask has written the foreword for Thornton’s upcoming book,
“Fighting My Way to the Top,” with Bruins broadcaster Dale Arnold. The book
will be out in October.

ETC.

League shows
Prokop support
Nashville, which shipped Ryan Ellis
to Philadelphia this past week, has enjoyed riches on defense for years. The
next crop includes Luke Prokop, their
2020 third-round pick. Prokop, 19, is a
big (6 feet 4 inches, 218 pounds),
smooth-skating, right-shot defenseman, and an assistant captain for WHL

Calgary. He is also gay, as he revealed
this past week. In doing so, he lifted a
weight from his shoulders, and provided hope for others who don’t feel free to
live their lives freely.
“It has been quite the journey to get
to this point in my life, but I could not
be happier with my decision to come
out,” said Prokop, who would be the
first openly gay active NHLer if he
made the Predators’ roster, in a statement. “From a young age I have
dreamed of being an NHL player, and I
believe that living my authentic life will
allow me to bring my whole self to the
rink and improve my chances of fulfilling my dreams.”
It was heartening to see the hockey
world overwhelmingly support him,
from commissioner Gary Bettman to
future Predators teammates to USA
Hockey, which, like the NHL, spent
time replying to online commenters
who didn’t understand why this is a big
deal.
“LGBTQ players, coaches, and staff
can only perform at their absolute best
if they live their lives as their full and
true selves,” Bettman said.
The league donated $100,000 to
causes near Prokop’s heart. For the last
few years, it’s become clear that if an
NHL player made such a leap, the
league would support him. It appears
that will be the case.

Canadiens missed with this pick
A first round of the draft that included few major surprises, with Owen
Power (Buffalo), Matty Beniers (Seattle), and Mason McTavish (Anaheim)
going 1-2-3, had a stunning finish.
At 31, Montreal selected Logan
Mailloux, a 6-3 defenseman with the
OHL’s London Knights. In what is surely a draft first, Mailloux publicly asked
all 32 teams to not consider selecting
him in 2021, after he was charged with
a crime of a sexual nature in Sweden.
Canadiens GM Marc Bergevin drafted him anyway, the team saying in a
statement it was offering a second
chance for a “promising player” who
“understands the impact of his actions.”
Mailloux last year was convicted of a
sex crime while on loan to a third-division Swedish team, SK Lejon, when he
was fined by police for showing a photo
to his teammates via Snapchat that
showed him and a woman engaging in
a sexual act. The act was consensual,
but the photo was not. After the woman
went to police, Mailloux was charged
with invasion of privacy and defamation, and reportedly fined $1,650.
The victim, 18, told The Athletic she
did not forgive Mailloux. “I do not think
that Logan has understood the seriousness of his behavior,” the woman wrote
in an email. “All I wanted was a heartfelt apology.”
In renouncing his draft wishes,
Mailloux said he hadn’t “demonstrated
strong enough maturity or character to
earn [the] privilege,” and if he were
drafted, he “would want a fan base to

be proud to welcome me to their organization.” He said he wanted to work on
himself this year, and have a second
chance to be drafted in 2022.
The tone-deaf Canadiens should
have let him earn that, and more importantly, let the victim and her family
heal, rather than reward his talent.

Loose pucks
Toronto GM Kyle Dubas is ride-ordie with his expensive core, which blew
a 3-1 first-round lead to Montreal, as he
tries to end the league’s longest stretch
without a series win (2004). “For better
or worse, I believe in this group and I
believe that they are going to get it
done,” Dubas said. “I’m willing to bet
everything on them.” No question
Dubas’s future will be short if the Leafs
don’t seriously challenge for a Stanley
Cup. The loss of hard-driving forward
Zach Hyman to Edmonton will sting . . .
Good news and bad news in Montreal:
Left winger Jonathan Drouin, who left
the team in April for personal reasons,
is feeling better and expects to return
for camp, but captain Shea Weber’s career might be over. Weber, 36 next
month, is dealing with ankle, foot,
knee, and thumb injuries, GM Marc
Bergevin said, and won’t play next season, if ever again . . . Chicago GM Stan
Bowman made his first comments
about the ongoing investigation into
sexual assault allegations against former video coach Brad Aldrich, saying
he does not “condone or tolerate harassment or assault of any type.” He declined to say whether the results of the
investigation would be made public . . .
The undrafted Barclay Goodrow, who
earned a pair of rings in Tampa, scored
a six-year, $21.85 million deal from the
Rangers. That $3.642 million cap hit is
hefty for a defensive winger, but as long
as your favorite team isn’t the one paying it, it’s worth celebrating . . . Washington, still hoping to re-sign Alex
Ovechkin, is sure to trade Evgeny Kuznetsov. Would his former GM, George
McPhee, bring him to Vegas as the No.
1 center? . . . That was Dorchester native Chanel Keenan, the Kraken’s intersectional consultant, who appeared on
Wednesday’s expansion draft broadcast. Keenan, a 22-year-old UMass
grad, has been a vocal advocate for
those with disabilities . . . From Lindsay
Eastwood, second-year defender with
the NWHL’s Toronto Six: “I played road
hockey with the neighborhood kids yesterday and told them I play in the
NWHL. One little guy goes, ‘Wait, I
thought girls played in the NHL,’ just so
dang innocently. Really nice to see that
these young lads don’t see any gender
barriers and believe women can excel in
professional sport. Anyways, they asked
if they could knock on my door after 5
today when I’m done work to play with
them again.”

Sox should keep eye on more relief
Peter Abraham
ON BASEBALL
Saturday marked the 17th anniversary of Jason Varitek feeding his catcher’s mitt to Alex Rodriguez and sparking a memorable brawl that helped define the 2004 Red Sox.
That the Yankees were at Fenway
Park for a day game seemed fitting.
Varitek is still wearing No. 33 and
still trying to beat the Yankees, just
now as a coach with longer hair.
A-Rod marked the day by posting a
video to his social media accounts that
showed him doing calisthenics on a
huge yacht. That also seemed fitting.
There were no fights this time
around. But there was another memorable game that the Yankees may one
day look back on fondly if they use it as
fuel to turn their wayward season
around.

“That was a good one, no question
about it,” manager Aaron Boone said
after an unlikely 4-3 victory against the
Sox.
The Yankees were trailing by three
runs in the eighth inning with a runner on second, two outs and Brett
Gardner down 0 and 2 against Nate
Eovaldi.
Eovaldi had been nails all day,
throwing strike after strike without
coming close to allowing a run. Gardner, the oldest Yankee at 37, fouled off
two pitches to stay in the at-bat.
“Things weren’t looking good,”
Gardner said.
Eovaldi’s plan was to throw a curveball in the dirt that he was sure Gardner would swing over like he did striking out in the sixth inning.
But the pitch was too high, and
Gardner singled to right field to drive
in a run.
“He was able to put a good swing on

it,” Eovaldi said. “He’s a good hitter
and was able to get the job done.”
Disaster followed for the Sox. Adam
Ottavino came in and allowed three
consecutive hits as the Yankees took
the lead.
The first was a chip shot into right
field by Giancarlo Stanton that hopped
into the stands for a double. It was his
first extra-base hit against the Sox
since last year.
Franchy Cordero, in right field for
the first time this season, was positioned deep and had no play.
That gave the Yankees a matchup
they wanted, lefthanded-hitting
Rougned Odor against Ottavino. Odor
went the other way with a poorly located sinker, driving it off the wall to drive
in two runs.
For the first time all day, the Yankees fans in the crowd of 35,136 could
be heard.
Another bloop to shallow right

field, this time by Gleyber Torres, gave
the Yankees the lead. It was the biggest
blown lead by the Sox this season.
Ottavino offered no excuses.
“Results are the only thing that
matter,” he said. “There’s no context to
the score of this game. We lost the
game; I didn’t get the job done.”
Ottavino has been one of the best
relievers in the game this season but
now has given up four runs on four
hits in his last two appearances, both
against the Yankees.
As the trade deadline approaches,
every contending team will be looking
for relief help. Two bloop hits won’t
change what the Sox think of Ottavino,
but it could intensify their search for
another pitcher they can trust with a
lead in the late innings.
Lefties are hitting .294 against Ottavino with an .830 OPS.
The Sox made Aroldis Chapman
throw 26 pitches in the ninth inning

but stranded two runners when Kiké
Hernández struck out swinging at a
99.5-mile-per-hour fastball to end it.
It was the first game the Yankees
have won at Fenway in six tries this
season.
Sox manager Alex Cora often pushes back on questions after a tough loss,
reminding reporters how good his
team has been this season. But there
was no spin to offer on this one.
Boone calls brutal losses “gut
punches” and the Red Sox have handed the Yankees a few this season. This
time it was the Sox who were left doubled over.
“It’s a tough one. That’s baseball,
right?” Cora said. “We always talk
about making contact in certain situations. They did.”

He’ll make third

Kiké Hernández’s chagrin was evident after his game-ending strikeout vs. Aroldis Chapman.

Sox falter in the eighth
uRED SOX

Continued from Page C1

said Cora, a nod to Ottavino’s dominance of righthanded hitters and his excellence
with inherited runners. Entering Saturday, just one of the 20
runners on base when Ottavino
had entered games this year had
scored.
Eovaldi departed to a thunderous ovation from the Fenway
crowd of 35,136.
“I was able to get us where
we needed to be with the bullpen,” said Eovaldi. “I’m going to
take my chances with those guys
every day of the week.”
But Stanton blooped an Ottavino slider to shallow right for a
ground-rule double to put runners on second and third. Odor
then crushed a sinker to leftcenter for a game-tying, two-run
double off the left field scoreboard.
Like Stanton, Gleyber Torres
flipped an Ottavino slider for a
flyball to shallow right. Again,
the blooper found turf, with
Odor crossing the plate to put
New York ahead, 4-3.
“The beauty of putting the
ball in play,” sighed Cora. “That’s
how baseball works. You give
yourself a chance [with contact].”
To Ottavino, the fact that two
of the three hits he allowed were
on good pitches and weakly
struck was meaningless.
“I feel good about the process. I feel terrible about the results. The results are the only
thing that matter,” said Ottavino. “There’s no context to the
score of this game. We lost the
game. I didn’t get the job done.
I’m not going to make an excuse.”
Though the Sox rallied with a
pair of two-out singles by Xan-

der Bogaerts and Rafael Devers
in the eighth, they could not
push home the tying run against
Jonathan Loaisiga.
Aroldis Chapman then
worked around a two-out walk
to pinch hitter Hunter Renfroe
and a ground-rule double by
Christian Vázquez, striking out
Kiké Hernández for his 18th
save, concluding a bewildering
turn of events that stood at odds
with most of what preceded it.
Eovaldi opened the game
with a relentless attack on the
strike zone, throwing balls on
just four of his first 35 offerings
through three frames — an 89
percent strike rate through
three innings that was the highest by any big league starter in
a ny g a m e s i n c e S e p t e m b e r
2019.
Both Eovaldi’s aggressiveness and his wide array of pitches — in the first inning, he featured his entire five-pitch mix
(high-90s fastballs, cutters, sliders, splitters, curves) — left the
depleted Yankees looking defensive and overwhelmed.
“He was on point,” Cora said
of Eovaldi, who ran his streak of
consecutive games with no more
than one walk to seven, the longest by a Sox starter since Rick
Porcello in 2016.
The offense wasted no time
in providing Eovaldi with a
cushion. For the eighth time in
22 games since he returned to
the top of the order, Hernández
jump-started the Red Sox offense by ambushing an opposing starter for an extra-base hit
as his team’s first batter of the
game.
In this case, he smashed a
Jameson Taillon fastball for a
triple off the fence in center — a
three-bagger that produced a
run when Yankees second base-

man Odor threw away the relay
throw. The Little League homer
marked the first time since
Oct. 2, 1993 — Jeff McNeely,
anyone? — that the first Red Sox
batter of a game scored on a triple and error.
That instant 1-0 advantage
tripled in size over the next two
innings. In the second, J.D. Martinez doubled and walked home
when Kevin Plawecki crushed a
two-bagger of his own.
In the third, Jarren Duran
gave yet another indication of
his extraordinary speed when he
hit a routine grounder up the
middle to lead off the inning.
Odor, mindful that Duran’s
speed can turn routine grounders into hits, kicked the ball into
center.
As soon as Duran glimpsed
the ricochet, he shifted into a
hypersonic gear, racing to second base. That boldness netted
the Sox a run, as Bogaerts advanced Duran to third with a
ground out and Devers lifted a
sac fly for his major league-leading 80th RBI of the year and a
3-0 lead.
But the Sox could not add to
that early advantage, as Taillon
(6-4) allowed no more damage
over the duration of his seveninning outing. The subduing of
t h e S o x o ff e n s e u l t i m a t e l y
opened the door to the Yankees
comeback from a three-run deficit — tied for the largest of the
season by New York — and the
conclusion of the four-game Sox
winning streak.
“It’s a tough one,” said Cora.
“It’s one of those that’s disappointing, but we’ ll move forward.”

Chris Sale is scheduled to
take another step toward a return to the Red Sox rotation on
Sunday when
RED SOX
he makes his
NOTEBOOK third rehab
start and his
second with Double A Portland.
But Sunday won’t be the
lefthander’s last minor league
tune-up.
The Sox would like Sale, who
threw 49 pitches over 3„ hitless
innings for the Sea Dogs last
week, to throw four to five innings while building his pitch
count into the mid-60s. From
there, the team wants him to
make at least one more rehab
start — “Or two, or three . . .”
manager Alex Cora teased —
while further building his workload to roughly 80 pitches and
five to six innings.
Even if Sale hits those targets
in a rehab start late this coming
week, the team will monitor his
recovery from his increased
workload before making a decision about whether to continue
his build-up or activate him in
the first week of August.
“We want to get him up in
that 80-pitch range and then
make sure he can come back
and do it again five days after
that,” said pitching coach Dave
Bush. “When you activate guys
after a long injury, it’s not just
that he’s ready to pitch. You
want him to pitch consistently.
“You have to make sure the

BARRY CHIN/GLOBE STAFF

Sox left fielder Alex Verdugo can’t make a play on a two-run
double from Yankee Rougned Odor in the eighth inning.

guys can recover, they can do it
effectively, come back, throw a
side in a couple days, and be on
the mound again in five or so
days. Each of those things is
part of the equation right now.”
Though it’s premature to circle a date for Sale’s return, the
Sox are excited both about what
his potential impact and the opportunity he’ll have to be a difference-maker in a playoff push.
“We know he’s going to contribute. This is not a guy that’s
just going to come here and get
innings to get ready for next
year,” said Cora. “He’s on a mission. He loves the fact that these
guys have put this team in a situation to compete the rest of the
season.”

As the rotation turns
Eduardo Rodriguez, who left
Friday’s game in the second inning due to a migraine, showed
up briefly at Fenway Park on
Saturday and reported improvement before being sent home to
rest. The Sox are hopeful that
the lefthander can avoid the injured list and start on Thursday
in their fourth and final contest
against the Blue Jays.
“We’ll see how he feels,” said
Cora. “Hopefully everything
goes well tomorrow. That’s our
goal and then from there we can
map [his schedule] out for the
week.”
Tanner Houck, who was initially slated to be available out of
the bullpen against Toronto, will
instead start the third game of
the series to give everyone in the
rotation a fifth day of rest.
Houck and Sale aren’t the
only ones adding to the team’s
rotation depth down the stretch.
On Friday, righthander Connor
Seabold — almost exactly 11
months after the trade that
landed him and Nick Pivetta
from the Phillies — made his
first appearance for a Red Sox
affiliate.
On the surface, it did not go
particularly well. Pitching for
Triple A Worcester against many
of his former minor league
teammates with Philadelphia’s
Triple A affiliate in Lehigh Valley, Seabold allowed six runs

(three earned) on three hits and
four walks in 3„ innings.
But he threw all four of his
pitches (four-seamer, changeup,
slider, curve) and emerged
healthy.
“It was a huge step in the
right direction for us,” said Red
Sox farm director Brian Abraham.

Draftees signed
The Red Sox announced the
signings of 11 draftees, most notably righthander Elmer Rodriguez, a fourth-rounder taken
out of high school in Puerto Rico. The team also announced
the signings of pitchers Wyatt
Olds (seventh round), Hunter
Dobbins (eighth), Matt Litwicki
(10th), Christopher Troye
(12th), Jacob Webb (14th), and
Tyler Uberstine (19th); utility
player Daniel McElveny (sixth);
third baseman Tyler Miller
(ninth); second baseman B.J. Vela (16th); and outfielder Phillip
Sikes (18th). That group joins
first-rounder Marcelo Mayer
and third-rounder Tyler McDonough as Sox signees . . . The
most prominent unsigned player is second-rounder Jud Fabian.
Fabian, 20, entered the year expected to go in the early- to midfirst round but slid because of
early-season struggles. However,
he had a strong finish to the
year and is expected to seek a
bonus above the MLB-recommended slot value of $1.856
million for the No. 40 overall
pick in order to sign . . . The
team also announced the signings of undrafted free agents Kier Meredith (Clemson) and
righthander Jhonny Felix (Western Oklahoma State). Felix attended Brighton High School . . .
Rehabbing Yankees righthander
Luis Severino threw a simulated
game against Yankees teammates on Saturday afternoon.
Among them: Gio Urshela, who
could be activated from the
COVID-19-related injured list
Sunday.

STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS

Patrick Sandoval had his no-hit bid
broken up with one out in the ninth inning
on a soft double by rookie Brent Rooker,
and the Los Angeles AnNOTEBOOK gels beat the Minnesota
Twins, 2-1, on Saturday
night in Minneapolis.
Sandoval, a 24-year-old lefty who began
the game with a 3-13 career record, struck
out a career-high 13. He kept the struggling Twins at bay with a combination of
his sinker, changeup, and slow curveball,
and Minnesota didn’t come close to a hit
until Rooker, who fanned his first three
times up, flared an opposite-field fly that
fell just inside the line in right.
Sandoval (3-4) smiled after the ball fell,
retired the next batter, and then was
pulled after 108 pitches. He walked one
and hit two. Closer Raisel Iglesias allowed
an RBI double to Josh Donaldson before
getting his 21st save in 25 chances.
José Berríos (7-5) allowed two unearned runs in seven innings in perhaps
his final start for Minnesota. Berríos, a potential trade candidate after being unable
to come to terms on a contract extension,
allowed three hits and struck out four. The
Angels plated their two runs off him in the
first.

Houston’s Framber Valdez flirted with
a no-hitter against the Rangers.

homered in the first three innings to help
Tampa Bay build a 4-1 lead against Cleveland, which was managed by bench coach
DeMarlo Hale. Terry Francona was sent
home by the team’s medical staff with a
lingering head cold . . . All-Star Teoscar
Hernández hit two of Toronto’s five homers and the Blue Jays beat Mets, 10-3, to
stop a three-game losing streak. George
Springer, Marcus Semien, and Bo
Bichette also homered for the Blue Jays,
who overtook San Francisco for the MLB
lead with 149 homers. Milton’s Rich Hill is
expected to make his Mets debut on Sunday at Citi Field. Also Saturday, Mets
lefthander David Peterson — expected to
return in August after being sidelined with
an oblique strain — went on the 60-day IL
after he fractured his right foot walking
back to the clubhouse following Friday
night’s win . . . Houston’s bullpen lost a
combined no-hitter that began with six
clean innings from Framber Valdez in the
eighth, but still beat Texas, 4-1, to deal the
Rangers their season-worst 11th straight
loss . . . Austin Barnes homered early, Kenley Jansen preserved a late lead, and the
Dodgers snapped a three-game skid, 1-0,
against the visiting Rockies. Jansen, who
blew saves against the first-place Giants on
Wednesday and Thursday, pitched a scoreless ninth for his 22nd save in 26 tries . . .
Rowdy Tellez went 3 of 4 with three RBIs
in Milwaukee’s 6-1 win over the White Sox,
with his first two homers as a Brewer since
getting acquired from Toronto on July 6. It
was the 4,000th victory in Brewers franchise history . . . Atlanta designated outfielder Ender Inciarte for assignment prior
to routing Philadelphia, 15-3. Inciarte, 30,
is hitting just .215/.276/.316 this season.

Washington ace Max Scherzer was
scratched from his start at Baltimore with
what the team described as mild right triceps discomfort.
Manager Dave Martinez said Scherzer
had an MRI and it was “extremely clean”
— he’s expected to make his next start. Jon
Lester started in his place, but was outdone by Matt Harvey (5-10), who allowed
one hit in six scoreless innings of a 5-3 Orioles win.
The three-time Cy Young Award winner, who turns 37 on Tuesday, is 7-4 with a
2.83 ERA in 18 starts this season. He has
been the subject of trade speculation as the
Nationals continue to struggle.
“The elbow is fine, the shoulder is fine
. . . We don’t have any problems there,”
Scherzer said. “I just got to get rid of this
inflammation in the triceps so that when I
pitch nothing bad happens.”

Rays pull even with Red Sox
Austin Meadows hit a pair of two-run
homers, Ji-Man Choi had three RBIs, and
Tampa Bay beat Cleveland, 8-2, for its 11th
straight head-to-head win and a first-place
tie with the Red Sox atop the AL East.

The number of World Series titles won by the Cleveland Indians since 1915, when the franchise changed
its name from the Cleveland Naps. On Friday, owner
Paul Dolan announced that the team will drop Indians at the end of the 2021 season and be called the
Guardians. The Indians made just six trips to the
World Series (winning in 1920 and 1948; losing in
1954, 1995, 1997, and 2016) in their century-plus
run and have posted a .513 winning percentage.

THIS DATE IN HISTORY
1918: Walter Johnson of the Washington Senators pitched a four-hitter in 15 innings to
beat the St. Louis Browns, 1-0. The only hit off
him in the first 11 innings was a triple by
George Sisler.
1962: Stan Musial of St. Louis became the alltime RBI leader in the NL. His two-run home
run, in a 5-2 loss to Los Angeles, gave him
1,862 RBIs, passing Mel Ott.
1978: Pete Rose of the Reds singled off New
York’s Craig Swan to set an NL record of hitting safely in 38 consecutive games.

Expect teams to be busy prior to deadline
Hot start

Peter Abraham

T

he trade deadline hits Friday at 4 p.m. and it’s a real
deadline. As of 2019, waiver
trades no longer exist. Players can be claimed off waivers, but that’s it.
So for contending teams, this is their
best shot to improve.
In 2019, there were 25 deals made
in the 48 hours leading up to the deadline. The deadline was pushed back to
Aug. 17, and 17 trades were made on
the final day.
With 17 teams within six games of a
playoff spot, the expectation for many
executives is that Thursday and Friday
will be busy days.
“For now there are a lot of names being thrown around nobody is too interested in,” one American League executive said. “It’ll take the deadline to force
the action, as it usually does.”
A look at the people and developments that will drive the coming days:
R The rental market: Teams have
been reticent in recent years to give up
much for veteran players who can become free agents in two months. That
could change with the Rays trading two
legitimate pitching prospects for Nelson Cruz.
Cruz, 41, is an outstanding hitter
who brings leadership to any clubhouse
in addition to 46 games of playoff experience. Maybe he’s the outlier.
But the Cubs have to feel better
about what they can get for Javier Baez
and/or Kris Bryant, and the Rockies for
Trevor Story.
The Rays were aggressive, dipping
into their reservoir of prospects for
Cruz and taking on $5.1 million in salary. That’s a big hit for the budget-conscious Rays. They mitigated that somewhat by trading Rich Hill to the Mets a
day later, saving roughly $800,000.
R Creative GMs: Cruz hasn’t played
in the field since 2018, and that was for
four games. But National League teams
were asking about him.
Along with Baez and Story, shortstops Andrelton Simmons (Twins),
Freddy Galvis (Orioles), and Nick
Ahmed (Diamondbacks) are available.
It wouldn’t be a surprise to see a
team in need of a third baseman or second baseman acquire a shortstop and
use him at a different position. It
worked for Toronto with Marcus
Semien.
Or a team could trade for a shortstop and move its shortstop to another
position. With how often teams shift,
middle infielders in particular are comfortable moving around.
R The Twins: Cruz is probably only
the first to go. They also have Simmons,
and pitching options with Michael
Pineda, Tyler Duffey, Alex Colome, and
Taylor Rogers.
Josh Donaldson, who has $59 million left on his deal as of Aug. 1, will be
tough to move. They are willing to discuss Max Kepler, but the price is high.
R The National League East: Outside
of the Marlins, every team is in the mix.
The Mets still need pitching, even after
acquiring Hill. The Phillies, as usual,
need relievers. The Braves already have
supplemented their fractured outfield
with Joc Pederson.
The Nationals are in fourth place.
It’s not in Mike Rizzo’s DNA to concede,
but he conceded there may not be
much choice if his team doesn’t make a
run soon.
“We’ll attack the trade deadline as
we always do. We’ll be aggressive in
whatever we do,” Rizzo told reporters.
“This year it’ll be a little bit different because of where we’re at in the standings. I think we’ll kind of go by a dual
path, try and maximize our place in the
standings, wherever that is, whenever
we make that decision.
“We’ll have our lines in the water on
the buy side. We’ll also prepare some
type of sell scenario if we have to.”
If that happens, the Nationals have a
lot to offer. Max Scherzer, Brad Hand,
Yan Gomes, Josh Harrison, Josh Bell,
Jon Lester, and Kyle Schwarber are all
pending free agents, although Schwarber has a mutual option.
The Phillies have always avoided exceeding the luxury-tax threshold. But
Dave Dombrowski has a way of convincing ownership to spend. He’s not
one to sit on the sidelines.
R The Dodgers: As days pass, it becomes increasingly unlikely Trevor Bauer will pitch again this season. He’s on
administrative leave as MLB investigates charges of sexual assault.
They’re built to win now and need
pitching. If the Nationals become sellers, Scherzer is a natural fit.
R The Yankees: They’re on the periphery of the American League East
race and, like the Nationals, are at the
point where a decision about whether
to buy or sell could come the day of the

deadline.
But what do they have to offer unless a team is willing to take on a lot of
salary? It’s far more likely the Yankees
wait, get healthier, and try to make a
run in August. At the moment, 26 of
their final 59 games would be against
teams with losing records.
R The sellers: There are roughly 10
teams with no hope and they’re fielding
calls from all the others. The Marlins
can build a big market for Starling
Marte and the same is true for other
sellers with prominent players.
“As you can imagine, there’s a lot of
interest in our players. We are trying to
figure out exactly what we’re going to
do and when,” Diamondbacks GM Mike
Hazen said.
R The closer: Craig Kimbrel is on his
fourth team in eight years. “I’m good at
packing,” he said at the All-Star Game.
“I’m prepared for whatever happens.”
After struggling from 2019-20, Kimbrel has been dominant this season,
sharply cutting his walk rate and giving
up one home run though his first 131
batters.
Kimbrel has roughly $7 million remaining on his deal. The Cubs might
pick up some of that to get better prospects in return.
One intriguing potential landing
spot is Boston. The Red Sox don’t need
a closer necessarily. But Kimbrel is
probably the one pitcher Matt Barnes
would step aside for. Barnes also has
the security of a new contract extension.
Having Kimbrel, Barnes, Adam Ottavino, Josh Taylor, and Garrett Whitlock in the bullpen would be intimidating come the postseason.

DEADLINE DRAMA

The future is
now for Bloom
Chaim Bloom joined the Red Sox
with a long-term plan and the team unquestionably has a much better foundation as a result. Now he has a chance to
impact the present and show those in
the clubhouse he wants to win as much
as they do.
I asked manager Alex Cora what he
felt the Sox needed.
“It changes on a daily basis,” he said.
“One thing for sure, having Jarren [Duran] and Tanner [Houck] here already,
and Chris [Sale] whenever he comes
here, we’re going to be in good shape.
“Every team has question marks. Every team needs to add something to get
better. Look around at the standings
and there’s a lot of teams in contention.
I don’t know how the market is going to
move.
“We’re talking. The front office is doing their homework. There have been
questions about players and names
thrown around.”
It would be a surprise if the Sox gave
up the prospects needed to bring in a

notable player such as Kris Bryant. But
they have the depth to land a reliever to
fill the multi-inning role Matt Andriese
wasn’t able to hold down. With Bobby
Dalbec struggling, a first baseman such
as C.J. Cron would make sense. Or they
could pursue a utility player with Christian Arroyo and Marwin Gonzalez on
the injured list.
Does Cora subscribe to the idea that
a contending team has earned the right
to be supplemented and deserves an
upgrade?
“I’ve been on both ends,” he said.
“You’re still going to play good baseball
if you’re a good team, right? It’s just a
matter of how you finish your season. I
don’t think you need a savior, to be honest with you. But sometimes there’s a
few [places] where you have to get better. It doesn’t have to be a Gary Sheffield kind of guy. An Ian Kinsler and
Steve Pearce, they do the trick.
“Different teams have different
needs. The fan base, they’re the ones
that get excited. You have to play the
game and you know the pieces you
need. It doesn’t have the effect on the
clubhouse that people think.”
A few other observations about the
Red Sox:
R Garrett Whitlock has 11 scoreless
appearances of at least two innings this
season, the most in the majors. The 25year-old righthander has a 1.34 ERA after missing last season recovering from
Tommy John surgery.
The Sox won’t acknowledge having
an innings limit on Whitlock this season, but they’re clearly being careful
with him. He has not pitched on consecutive days and has made 17 of his 28
appearances on at least three days of
rest.
Once the Sox get through this season, Whitlock can return to starting.
R Sale has been working on more
than his elbow. He told reporters in
Portland, Maine, on Tuesday that he
changed his diet.
“I made a lot of changes with junk
food and processed stuff and gluten.
The list kind of goes on and on,” Sale
said. “Looking back, I really didn’t take
good care of myself in that aspect of my
life. How I was fueling my body, the
stuff that I was eating.
“You can ask my teammates. I’d
show up on game day with a bag of McDonald’s and Taco Bell and that was my
pregame meal to go pitch. That, mixed
with a little better sleeping patterns and
more hydration, I think it’s helped me
out a lot.”
Considering the Sox owe Sale $85
million from 2022-24, that’s good news
for the club.
Nate Eovaldi recently made a similar
point, saying the quality of the food
served to the players at Fenway Park
had improved significantly.
“I feel like it’s made a difference for a
lot of guys, myself included,” Eovaldi
said. “A lot of us are eating better.”
R Duran scored from first base in
just under 10 seconds on Kiké Hernán-

dez’s double Thursday. His speed is going to make a difference down the
stretch.
R Navy graduate Cameron Kinley
was allowed to pursue his football career by getting permission to attend
training camp with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But that doesn’t change the
status of Sox prospect Noah Song.
Because Song is already a commissioned officer, he wasn’t eligible for that
exemption. The Sox also checked into
whether Song could pitch for Team
USA in the Olympics, but there was no
route there.
For now, he remains a Navy officer.

ETC.

Connaughton
made right choice
NBA champion Pat Connaughton of
Arlington and St. John’s Prep was 0-1
with a 2.45 ERA over six games and
14„ innings for Single A Aberdeen in
the Orioles system in 2014 after being
taken in the fourth round of the draft
and signing for $428,100. That team included nine prospects who went on to
play in the majors, including future AllStars Kevin Gausman and John Means.
Connaughton, who played baseball
and basketball at Notre Dame, was a
second-round pick of the Brooklyn Nets
in 2015 then traded to the Portland
Trail Blazers.
He agreed to a three-year contract
with Portland that prohibited him playing baseball for two seasons.
Connaughton, now 28, remains Orioles property. He was placed on the restricted list after the 2014 season and
remains there, according to Orioles director of minor league operations Kent
Qualls.

Extra bases
Jon Lester pitched seven shutout innings and belted a two-run homer for
the Nationals on Monday in an 18-1
rout of the Marlins. The victory put Lester four away from 200 for his career.
He’d be the 119th pitcher in history to
hit that mark. Lester also is 54 strikeouts shy of 2,500. Only 32 pitchers have

WOMEN’S FOOTBALL ALLIANCE CHAMPIONSHIP

Cahill leads Renegades
to third straight title
By Lenny Reich
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

Renegades 42 C A N T O N ,
Ohio — In
Vixen
26 the rich history book of Boston sports, a
team that may have been a footnote is now writing its own
chapter.
The Boston Renegades won
their third straight and sixth
overall Women’s Football Alliance championship with a 42-26
victory over the Minnesota Vixen Saturday at Tom Benson Hall
of Fame Stadium Saturday in
Canton.
Quarterback Allison Cahill,
the WFA’s MVP in her 18th season of professional football,
completed 21 of 34 passes for
218 yards with three touchdowns and another score on the
ground on her way to the game’s
most valuable player honors.
“This was the goal and since
we didn’t get to play last year
this was extra sweet,” Cahill
said. “Once our offense got into a
rhythm, we are hard to stop, and
our defense really picked us up.”
Her TD passes went to Adrianne Smith, Ruth Matta, and
Emily Beinecke. Matta and
Chante Bonds also had rushing
touchdowns.
The Vixen, playing in the title
game in their first season in the
WFA’s highest division, were led
by running back Grace Cooper,
who had 18 rushes for 192 yards
and four touchdowns.
The Vixen took the game’s
first possession deep into Renegade territory but a tackle for

loss by Allie Genereux ended up
stopping the drive on downs.
The teams then traded possessions and after the Renegades’ first touchdown, a 22yard pass from Cahill to Smith
started the scoring. Minnesota
came right back two plays later
as Cooper got loose for a 62-yard
touchdown scamper, but the extra point was no good and it was
7-6 with just more than seven
minutes in the half.
Cahill engineered a 13-play
drive that ended with a 3-yard
touchdown pass to Matta and
with 2:22 before halftime it was
14-6. Minnesota went three and
out with a big sack from Hannah
Jennings.
There were then a pair of
turnovers in a span of five plays
as Cahill was picked off by Mikaila Soule but on the very next
play, Vixen quarterback Errin
McIsaac could not handle the
snap and Nicole Gordon recovered it to give Boston one more
chance before halftime.
Cahill took the remaining 47
seconds and completed four
passes — the last of those went
23 yards to Beinecke and gave
Boston a 21-6 halftime lead.
Minnesota got back in the
game on its first possession of
the second half as Cooper had a
40-yard touchdown run and ran
in the 2-point conversion to get
the Vixen within 7.
On the next drive, the Renegades turned things over to
Bonds as she caught a 15-yard
pass then took the ball on six
consecutive running plays and

chewed up 44 yards including a
2-yard dive into the end zone
which pushed the lead to 28-14.
Renegade pressure ended another Minnesota drive as Jen Tamillio had a sack, but Boston
could not take advantage as Cahill threw her second interception of the game. The Renegade
defense picked her up again
though, forcing a turnover on
the very next play as Jennings
forced and recovered a fumble.
Cooper added two more rushing scores in the fourth quarter
while the Renegades got a fiveyard TD run from Matta and Cahill put an exclamation point on
the night with a 31-yard touchdown run.
“I think about players and all
the work they put in to win this
championship,” said Boston
coach John Johnson. “We are so
grateful to everyone around our
team, the Patriots for their support and to win a title here in
Canton at the Pro Football Hall
of Fame is very special.”
The Renegades had support
in Ohio as a division of Minutemen who have been at their
home games complete with costumes and rifles made the trek
while the other six-time football
champion in town lent a hand.
The Patriots’ social media channels wished the team good luck
and owner Robert Kraft surprised the team by offering up
the team plane to get them to
Ohio.
He jokingly told them they
needed the trophy to get the ride
home . . . Mission accomplished.

NFL rightly not making it easy

to forfeit its game, with the loss counting against
playoff seeding. The team responsible for the canceled game will be responsible for financial losses
and face potential additional discipline from the
commissioner.
While vaccinated individuals who test positive,
the so-called breakthrough cases, can return after
two negative tests 24 hours apart (with the league
also promising to “minimize the competitive and
economic burden on both participating teams” in
that case), unvaccinated individuals are subject to
a mandatory 10-day quarantine.
And then, the kicker:
“If a game is canceled and cannot be rescheduled within the current 18-week schedule due to a
COVID outbreak, neither team’s players will receive their weekly paragraph 5 salary.”
The Draconian salary threat appears to be the
reason newly signed Patriots defensive end Matt
Judon tweeted, “The NFLPA [expletive] sucks,” but
there are others who just don’t want to get the vaccine. There’s little chance Buffalo’s Cole Beasley,
who has been very vocal about his vaccine objections, stands alone. Beasley concluded a Twitter
rant last month by saying he no longer wanted to
be a distraction to his team, but among his tweets
Friday was this gem: “Nothing has changed. I’m
still livin freely. Goodnight.”
Could a different tweet from his Bills teammate
Stefon Diggs portend locker room discord?
“Accountability . . . availability,” Diggs wrote.
In other words, be accountable to your teammates by being available to play. Which makes it
clear: If it turns out you’re not available because
you chose not to be vaccinated, teammates might
blame you. Or worse: Coaches might get rid of you.
Think about it: When it comes down to cut day,
what’s to stop a coach from taking vaccination status into account? And who’s to say they’d be wrong
for doing so? If all other factors are equal, wouldn’t
a coach want a player less likely to spread the virus
than one more likely to cause an outbreak and thus
trigger penalties? And even if that were something
to which the NFLPA would object, how would the

union prove the intent?
The NFL already has many rules on player safety, from the helmets atop their heads to a rulebook
replete with lessons on how they can most safely
tackle each other. And participation in sports has
long since included vaccine requirements, all the
way back to school days that required MMR, DPT,
and smallpox inoculations. The research and development that got us to a vaccine so quickly is a
tribute to modern medicine, but somehow it
turned into a political referendum instead, another crevice in what feels like an ever-deepening societal rift.
As Michael Irvin put it, this shouldn’t be about
left wing or right wing. For players, this should be
about winning a ring, a possibility that the NFL is
making clear is much easier by getting vaccinated.
In a conference call Friday, Dr. Allen Sills, the
NFL’s chief medical officer, reported progress on
teams’ vaccination rates, saying 80 percent of players have had at least one shot, that nine teams have
90 percent of players vaccinated, and that only five
teams remain under the 70 percent threshold. Earlier NFL Network reporting confirmed all 32 teams
have reached at least 50 percent.
As Sills said Thursday on NFL NOW, “We’re
pleased with those numbers, but we’re not satisfied. We want to see them continue to go up. Certainly those rates are well above what we’re seeing
in the rest of society and certainly above the same
age group as most of our players are. So a great
headstart, more work to be done.”
The NFL made it through last year’s strange,
COVID season without actually canceling any
games, a feat that hindsight reminds us was not
easy. There were multiple postponements, lots of
confusion, high-profile player absences, and one
game in which a team didn’t have a healthy starting quarterback. There was a lot of hope, plenty of
fingers crossed, and no doubt a little bit of luck.
Now, there is a vaccine. Good on the NFL for
wanting to use it.

Football
Patriots have some questions entering camp
Jim McBride

I

t’s the most wonderful time of
the year.
No disrespect intended toward the late, great Andy Williams, but for football fans far
and wide, this is the holiday season.
Training camps are opening across
the country and the sound of cleats
clicking and clacking and the smell of
fresh cut grass trigger memories of past
glories and spark thoughts of future
successes.
There’s an abundance of hope in
every NFL outpost.
With that hope, however, comes
questions. Lots and lots of questions.
Many will be answered over the next
seven weeks as staffs shape rosters and
get their clubs ready for opening day.
There’s a heap of queries and intrigue coming out of Foxborough, so
here’s a look at some of the top story
lines to follow as the Patriots look to rebound from last season’s 7-9 record:
“Who’s the quarterback?”
Aside from, “Can you get me tickets
to the Brady game?” (Sorry, no can do),
this is the most popular inquiry pitched
since the schedule was released.
If minicamp was a harbinger, then
the competition to be the leader of this
offense should be exciting. The first
dozen or so training camp practices will
be key to setting the tone for the team
and establishing a pecking order
among the field generals.
Cam Newton sits atop the depth
chart until somebody can knock the former MVP off that most coveted perch.
He’ll face challenges from Mac Jones,
Jarrett Stidham, and Brian Hoyer.
Newton had a very strong spring
and even bounced back from a bit of
adversity when he tweaked his right
thumb during an OTA session but recovered to be a full participant in minicamp.
As always, Newton brought the enthusiasm during the sessions, but he
also brought a renewed sense of energy
with his play. He acknowledged his
2020 struggles — both physical and
mental — but appeared more comfortable running the show and throwing
the ball during the workouts media
were allowed to attend.
Newton’s showed consistent velocity
on his throws — better than at any
point last season — and his arm
strength was better as well as he attempted several deep balls over the
three days. In his final minicamp practice, he displayed excellent accuracy,
completing 17 of 21 passes.
With no pads and no contact, which
severely limits how defenders can
guard and shadow, the passing numbers need to be taken with a grain of
salt. At the same time, these restrictions severely limit the breadth of Newton’s skills, as his ability to be a physical
force, whether it’s shedding would-be
sackers or in the open field as a runner.
By signing early in free agency, Newton was able to continue to expand his
knowledge of this offense with a full —
if not yet fully back to normal — offseason program. Things should come more
naturally this summer, leading to less
“overthinking” (Newton’s word) when
he’s on the field.
If he’s fully healthy — his throwing
motion last season suggested his shoulder may not have been 100 percent —
and can bond with new tight ends
Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith, Newton will be a much different quarterback this time around. It’s his job to
lose and he will not give it up without a
fight.
“How’s Mac Jones looking?”
Jones also had a very impressive
spring. He’s a smart cookie rookie who
threw the ball decisively and accurately
and didn’t seem at all fazed by the often
intense coaching thrown his way during individual and team drills. Not a big
surprise considering where he played,
and who he played for, in college.
Coming from Alabama, the transition to a similarly structured environment (and football hotbed) in New England will not be a hard one for Jones.
He’s had a lot put on his plate since being picked No. 15 overall and has responded well, drawing rave early reviews from staffers and teammates —
including Newton, who sidestepped
any quarterback controversy talk when
he said the Patriots did the right thing
by grabbing Jones when they did.
Jones is clearly the quarterback of
the future, but he has the physical skills
and mental makeup to make a push to
be the quarterback of the present. He
will be tested daily in camp and the
joint practices against the Eagles and
Giants will be particularly telling about
where he is in his development. They
will be beneficial in any case.
It’s a win-win summer for Jones.
Either he seizes the starter’s job or he

First shot
With the 2020 and 2021 classes preparing for enshrinement into the Pro Football Hall
of Fame, it is also time to scope out the first-year eligibles for the 2022 class. One of the

players drafted in the fifth round or laterto record at least 120 sacks.

gets a de facto redshirt season to develop his game and learn how to be a professional.
He’s been in this position before, sitting behind a pair of high-profile quarterbacks in Tuscaloosa who are now
NFL starters in Jalen Hurts and Tua
Tagovailoa before getting his shot.
Jones can be patient. Will Patriots fans
be able to?
There will be secondary QB competition, with Stidham and Hoyer battling
for a backup spot, which could be No. 2
or 3 depending on how things shake
out between Newton and Jones.
Stidham showed some flashes in the
spring, and it feels like a make-or-break
summer for the third-year player. He
started last season as the third-stringer
before being elevated, though he never
posed a serious threat to unseat Newton.
Hoyer was solid in limited snaps
during minicamp. Heading into his
13th season — and seventh in New
England — Hoyer is among the most respected teammates in this franchise.
Whether he’s leading a team drill, running the scout team, or offering advice
to younger quarterbacks, Hoyer is
always about what’s doing best for his
team. That’s invaluable.
“What happens with Stephon
Gilmore?”
The perennial Pro Bowl cornerback
skipped mandatory minicamp, which
cost him $93,085. However, he reported when other veterans did so this past
week, which is an encouraging development.
He would have been subjected to
$50,000 daily fines that can no longer
be forgiven under the collective bargaining agreement. If you sit, you pay.
He suffered a partially torn quadriceps in Miami in Week 15 last year
and is on the physically unable to perform list. He can come off at any time.
Gilmore is due $7 million in salary
this season (it’s closer to $8 million if all
incentives are hit) and is looking for a
salary bump. He has not expressed a
desire to be traded.
It feels as though something is going
to give sooner rather than later. It’s unlikely the Patriots would invest so heavily in revamping and bolstering their
defense and then trade their best defender. Certainly, the offseason reconstruction plan called for Gilmore to be
locking down No. 1 receivers.
A long-term extension may not be in
the cards — Gilmore turns 31 in September — but reworking his current
deal (which expires at the end of the
season) to add money and incentives
may be the way to go.
New England, which has approximately $12 million in salary-cap space,
could bring Gilmore’s total compensation to around $12 million and still
have the financial flexibility to make
other moves.
“Where does N’Keal Harry stand?”
Currently at the back of the line. The
former first-round receiver is at a cross-

roads as his third season begins. He is
ready to report to Foxborough, but also
is seeking a fresh start somewhere else
after requesting a trade through his
agent.
It’s an awkward position. For everybody.
Asking for a trade publicly hurts a
team’s leverage when it comes to negotiations with possible trade partners.
Teams naturally will low ball their offers, figuring they are dealing from a
position of strength.
Harry, who has 45 career catches, is
behind Nelson Agholor, Kendrick
Bourne, and Jakobi Meyers on the
depth chart. He can continue to work
hard to try and climb, but if he wants to
be somewhere else, practice reps might
be better served going to developing
younger receivers, including Gunner
Olszewski, Isaiah Zuber, Tre Nixon, and
Kristian Wilkerson.
The 6-foot-4-inch, 225-pound Harry
was a physical force in college. He used
his superior size and strength to gain
separation and win contested balls. So
far, he’s been unable to consistently do
that at the next level.
A possible trade partner emerged
late in the week when it was learned
that Saints star Michael Thomas could
miss a chunk of time because of ankle
surgery. The Patriots and Saints have a
long history of making mutually beneficial trades, so this could make sense.
It’s also possible Harry is moved toward the end of camp — perhaps he
catches the eye of Nick Sirianni or Joe
Judge — when teams could be looking
to replace injured players.
It always hurts to move on from
first-rounders before their rookie contracts are up, but it’s better than using
up a valuable roster spot on a player
who isn’t producing.
“How good can this defense be?”
Elite.
The pocket pressure created by the
revamped front seven was exceptional
during minicamp. It came from every
direction and from every player. Every
quarterback felt the heat and suffered
claustrophobia as the defenders continually took away their time and space.
Again, without pads or contact offensive linemen and running backs
(who would normally pick off blitzers)
were at a severe disadvantage, but this
was still an impressive performance by
the defense, and it often let the offense
know it.
Returning leaders Dont’a Hightower
and Kyle Van Noy made their presence
felt, jumping from spot to spot and creating havoc. Josh Uche and Matt Judon
likewise were extremely active.
Uche was the breakout star of the
spring and could be the latest in a long
line of second-level Patriots defenders
who can excel in multiple roles from
multiple spots. He’s enjoying being a
sponge, learning from the veterans.
“It’s been great,” he said. “When I go
back and watch practice, I can watch
each of those guys and see how they do

certain things and certain movements.
If I like a move, I’ll ask them, ‘How do
you do this?’ and kind of implement it
into my game, kind of copycat, if you
will. It’s been great. They have a lot of
experience under their belts.’'
On the inside, newcomers Davon
Godchaux and Montravius Adams, as
well as rookie second-rounder Christian
Barmore, looked like natural fits, forcing quick decisions and quick passes.
The pass rush was anemic at times
in 2020, with the Patriots registering
just 24 sacks, tied for 27th in the NFL,
which prompted the overhaul.
On the back end, New England’s secondary is still superb with Gilmore, J.C.
Jackson, and Jonathan Jones on the
corners, and Devin McCourty at safety.
The addition of Jalen Mills and the continued emergence of Kyle Dugger
should offset the retirement of Patrick
Chung.
“When you put all those pieces together, there ain’t no telling what we
can do,” said Adrian Phillips, a safety by
name but linebacker at heart. “Because
Judon, Dont’a, Kyle — all those guys
can go out there and make plays. Jalen
Mills can make plays. And [the coaches] are teaching guys like Uche and
Chase [Winovich] and guys like that —
it’s just crazy. You see a jump across the
whole field and overall it’s making our
defense better.”

ETC.

Smart decision
on roster rules
The NFL did the smart and prudent
thing by carrying over a number of roster rules put in place last year to guard
against teams not having enough players in case of a COVID-19 breakout.
The rules include:
R Expanding practice squads to 16
players, including up to six slots for
players with more than two accrued
seasons.
R Teams can protect four practice
squad players from being poached by
other clubs.
R The ability to promote two practice squad players to the active gameday roster, without removing any current players.
R The ability to elevate an additional
practice squad player within 90 minutes before kickoff in the event of a lastminute positive COVID-19 test result.
R Players placed on injured reserve
can come back after three weeks instead of the normal six-week wait.
R An unlimited number of players
can be activated from IR. Previously only two players could be designated to return.
Both the league and the players’
union were in favor keeping the rules,
and Dawn Aponte, the league’s chief
football administrative officer, made it
official Friday.
“Games will not be postponed to

avoid roster issues,” she said.
Though the rules will likely go away
in future seasons, I’d be in favor of
keeping them in modified form — particularly the ones related to IR. It never
made sense to me to limit the number
of players that can be brought back.
Players shouldn’t miss an entire year of
development just because they suffered
an injury that could be healed in a
month.
By the same token, teams shouldn’t
have to occupy a roster spot while waiting for the player to heal.

Cowart not playing favorites
I’m looking forward to Tom Brady’s
return to Foxborough in Week 4 as
much as the next person, but I also
have no problem with Byron Cowart’s
recent comments on the “Patriots Way
of Life” podcast.
“We ain’t
welcoming
him, we just
got to play
him,’' the
third-year defensive lineman said.
“There ain’t
going be no
damn ceremo- BYRON COWART
ny for him or
All business
nothing like
that.”
Cowart was slammed in some circles
— his words were called “scathing” by
ESPN’s Mike Greenberg — but what
was he supposed to say? That he’s going
to gush and fawn over his former teammate for 60 minutes?
Most of the Byron bashers conveniently forgot to mention the fact that
he also praised Brady: “Love the guy —
he did a lot for the community and for
the city, but he’s still an opponent.”

Extra points
Classy move by Robert Kraft to send
the Boston Renegades off to Ohio for
the Women’s Football Alliance championship weekend on the Patriots team
plane . . . It’ll great to see fannies in the
seats at Patriots practices this coming
week. It’s a great atmosphere and players enjoy performing in front of crowds
— something that was sorely missed in
2020. Just a reminder, no post-practice
autograph sessions this season . . .
Rough stretch in NFL circles with the
passing of Jets passing game coordinator Greg Knapp and former Broncos offensive coordinator Alex Gibbs. Knapp,
58, died from complications of injuries
suffered when his bicycle was struck by
a motorist in California. Gibbs, 80, had
suffered a recent stroke . . . Thoughts
also are with the friends and family of
WBZ-TV editor extraordinaire Jim Murphy, who died suddenly this past week.

TOKYO OLYMPICS

DeChambeau cancels after testing positive
FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS

Bryson DeChambeau tested
positive for COVID-19 before
leaving the United States for the
Olympics and
NOTEBOOK will miss the
Tokyo Games.
He'll be replaced by Patrick
Reed.
USA Golf sent word Sunday
that DeChambeau, who won last
year’s US Open at Winged Foot,
had tested positive as part of the
final protocol before leaving for
Japan.
DeChambeau is the bestknown of the few dozen athletes
across the several Olympic
sports to test positive either before leaving for Tokyo, or after
they arrived. He said he was
‘‘deeply disappointed not to be
able to compete in the Olympics
for Team USA.”
US tennis player Coco Gauff
also tested positive before she
left the United States.
Reed was scheduled to undergo testing Sunday and Monday to clear himself to compete
in Tokyo. The the first round of
the men’s tournament at the Kasumigaseki Country Club is set
for Thursday.
Reed will join Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, and Xander Schauffele on the four-man
US team.

‘Miracle’ needed
The US men’s gymnastics
team wasn’t at its best Saturday,
but they turned in a respectable
outing thanks to a few standout
individual performances and
critical hit routines when needed. The Americans advanced to
the team final in fourth, though
a significant margin of about
five points separates them from
the leaders — Japan, China and
Russia, the teams expected to

battle for positions on the medal
podium during Monday’s final.
“Gymnastics is a fun sport
because no matter what team is
the best or the worst, anything
can happen that day,” said Yul
Moldauer, who then described
his team’s approach as, “Do you
believe in miracles?”
Although the area was empty
of fans, Simone Biles and other
members of the US women’s
team were on hand to lend support.
The US men haven’t won a
medal at the Olympics since
they finished third at the 2008
Beijing Games. In the next two
Olympics, they finished fifth
both times.
Sam Mikulak, competing in
his third Games, acknowledged
that medaling as a team would
take “a really flawless competition for us and a horrible competition for them.”

Heat turned up
Novak Djokovic resumed his
quest for a “Golden Slam” and
the Olympic gold medal, easily
dispatching Hugo Dellien of Bolivia in straight sets.
But tougher challenges await
Djokovic, the world No. 1, and
he got an early feel for what
might serve as his biggest foe —
the sweltering Tokyo summer.
As play got underway Saturday morning, temperatures
were approaching 90 degrees in
the shade. The combination of
the sun, the humidity, and the
hard courts made it feel far hotter than that on the playing surfaces.
Djokovic is on the heels of his
20th Grand Slam win at Wimbledon this month — his third
major win this year. He is trying
to become the first male player
to sweep the four Grand Slam

singles titles and win the Olympic gold medal in a single year.
Trying to expend as little energy as possible, Djokovic broke
Dellien’s serve in the sixth and
eighth games, clinching the first
set in 35 minutes. Djokovic
cruised from there, taking the
second set in just 25 minutes.
Daniil Medvedev wants organizers to move matches to the
evening after players slogged
through their matches playing
amid a heat index that made it
feel like 100. Medvedev called it
“some of the worst” heat he’s

played in after eliminating Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan, 6-4,
7-6 (10-8).
“I’m not going to lie. But you
have to play,” the Russian said.
“That’s the Olympics, you go for
the medal. You are not here to
cry about the heat.
It was so hot that during her
loss to Leylah Fernandez of Canada, Ukraine’s Dayana Yastremska rolled her shirt into a midriff, and Fabio Fognini of Italy
did his postmatch interviews
shirtless with a towel draped
around his neck.

Sunday at the Olympics
Hopefully the surf’s up in Tokyo.
The sport will look to make its Olympic debut, but it’s all contingent on conditions. While a tropical storm is headed for Tokyo and might spin up some
waves, Olympic organizers have built in flexibility into the surfing schedule to
allow for ideal swells. You can catch coverage all day on the USA Network.
And even if it isn’t, skateboarding makes its debut as well, with the men’s
street event among the 18 gold medals up for grabs. The United States grabbed
its first as the day began, Chase Kalisz winning the men’s 400-meter individual
medley, as did Tunisia, which got a shock victory from Ahmed Hafnaoui in the
400 freestyle. It’s just the African nation’s fifth gold in its 15th Summer Olympics appearance, with four of those coming in the last four Games.
A number of American stars you know and love will be in action on Sunday in
Japan.
Here’s some highlights:
Men’s basketball: Team USA, headlined by Celtics star Jayson Tatum, will open
Olympic play against France live at 8 a.m. on Peacock. (If you miss it, you can
catch rebroadcasts on NBC and NBCSN.)
Gymnastics: Watch the US women’s qualifying on replay — the competition began around 2 a.m. Sunday — on NBC beginning at 7 p.m.

KATIE MCINERNEY

On Sunday, top-ranked Ash
Barty was upset by 48th-ranked
Spanish opponent Sara Sorribes
Tormo, 6-4, 6-3, in the first
round of the Tokyo tennis tournament. It was Barty’s Olympic
singles debut. She won a doubles match with Australian
teammate Storm Sanders on
Saturday.
The defeat comes 15 days after Barty won Wimbledon for
her second Grand Slam title.
Earlier, two-time defending
champion Andy Murray withdrew because of a right quad
strain.
The British player made the
decision shortly ahead of his
scheduled opener against ninthseeded Felix Auger-Aliassime of
Canada on Center Court.

Seat of power
Six days after finishing third
in the Tour de France, Richard
Carapaz of Ecuador flew to Japan, battled the steamy conditions, pushed his body past exhaustion, and won gold in the
men’s road race.
Digging deep for a closing
burst, Carapaz, 28, broke away
from Brandon McNulty of the
United States with nearly 6 kilometers left and sprinted to the
end, finishing in 6 hours 5 minutes 26 seconds finish, comfortably before the next riders.
The brutal 234-kilometer
course was made worse by intense heat and humidity. It began around Musashinonomori
Park, just west of Tokyo, and ran
up part of Mount Fuji, finishing
at Fuji International Speedway
in Shizuoka prefecture.
It was only the second gold in
Ecuador’s history.

Iranian pulls upset
Iranian defector Kimia Aliza-

deh shocked two-time Olympic
gold medalist Jade Jones, beating the British taekwondo
champion 16-12 in the round of

a hair-raising run to the Tokyo
final at the venerable Nippon
Budokan arena, the site of judo’s
introduction to the Olympics in
1964 . . . The youngest competitor at the Games was eliminated

YOKOHAMA , Japan —
Amanda Chidester hit a gameending, two-run single in the
eighth inning, Monica Abbott
struck out 13, and the United
States beat Australia, 2-1, on
Sunday to clinch a berth in the
Olympic softball gold-medal
game.
Australia scored the first run
off the Americans in the tournament when Jade Wall walked on
eight pitches with the bases
loaded in the top of the eighth.
With pinch-runner Ally Carda on second as the automatic
runner in the bottom half, leadoff hitter Haylie Mc C lene y
reached on an infield single to
shortstop off Tarni Stepto. McCleney reached in all four plate
appearances and in 13 of 15 over
the Americans’ four games.
Janie Reed sacrificed and
Chidester singled as both runners scored.
Abbott (2-0) gave up three
hits and walked six — two of
them intentional — while throwing 126 pitches. She has given
up four hits in 17 innings with
28 strikeouts, improving to 5-0
in her Olympic career.
The top-ranked United States
(4-0), which has scored just six
runs in four games, will play defending champion Japan on
Monday in a game that likely
will only determine which team

bats last in Tuesday’s gold-medal
game. No. 2 Japan (3-0) could
clinch a berth in that game when
it plays Canada (2-1) later Sunday.
On Saturday, 38-year-old Cat
Osterman pitched six innings of
one-hit ball and Abbott struck
out the side in the seventh, helping the US team shut out Mexico, 2-0.
“I’m here so they can win a
gold medal because I already
have one,” said Osterman, the
last player remaining from the
2004 champions. “I want to see
how they feel and how they react
after we are able to possibly do
that.”
Turned down for a job in the
US coaching pool in 2016 after
she retired as a player, Osterman
found she was not angry.
“I had to do a gut check,” she
said. “If I’m not upset about not
being selected, why do I want to
be in the coaching pool? And
then if I don’t want to be in the
coaching pool, why is that?”
So she’s back in the Olympics
at age 38, and not just throwing,
but dominating.
Osterman didn’t pitch competitively from 2016-18.
“We have a really tight family,
and the two tall trees that are
pitchers for us right now, they’ve
kind of taken on the moniker of
fire and ice,” US coach Ken Eriksen said.
Osterman (2-0), who like Abbott is 6 foot 3 inches, has allowed two hits in 12 innings
with 13 strikeouts and one walk,
throwing 169 pitches.

“Once the idea was kind of in
my head and my family was fully
on board, my dad was like, ‘I told
you you should have done this
the whole time,’ ” she said of her
renewed playing career. “So I
had a bunch of I told you so’s,
but it was just a gut check that I
was making sure to do it for the
right reasons.”
Abbott, a lanky Big Unit-like
lefty, turns 36 Wednesday.
“Obviously they have a great
pitching staff,” said Mexican reliever Danielle O’Toole, a former
member of the US national team
program. “There’s a reason why,
especially Cat and Monica, have
been for playing so long, is because they are smart. They’re
very intelligent people.”
Osterman struck out four,
walked one, and hit a batter.
Pitching without a cap and with
a white towel dangling from her
back pocket, she retired her final
15 batters.
She escaped her only trouble
in the second, when Suzannah
Brookshire worked out an eightpitch walk leading off and Victoria Vidales reached on an infield
single. Chelsea Gonzales fouled
out, Sashel Palacios took a called
third strike, and Stefania Aradillas struck out.
“She’s throwing butterflies
like that, trying to catch them in
the wind as a hitter, that’s kind
of tough,” Eriksen said.
Mexico, a team with many US
college players and veterans of
the American player development program, dropped to 0-3
in its first Olympic tournament.

Kalisz makes a splash with USA’s first gold
By Paul Newberry
ASSOCIATED PRESS

TOKYO — Chase Kalisz got
things started, claiming the first
American gold at the Olympic
pool.
By the time the morning was
done, the powerhouse team had
a whole bunch of medals.
Six of them in all, quite a
start Sunday for the United
S t at e s i n t h e p o s t - Mi c h a e l
Phelps era.
“I’m happy to be here and
kick the US off,” said Kalisz, who
won the 400-meter individual
medley.
There was room for others to
shine, as well.
Host Japan won a swimming
gold, Tunisia claimed a surprising spot atop the medal podium,
and the mighty Australian women set the first world record of
the competition in the 4 x 100
freestyle relay.
The Aussie quarter included
sisters Bronte and Cate Campbell swimming the leadoff and
anchor legs, respectively, joined
by Meg Harris and Emma McKeon.
McKeon blew away the field
on the third leg and Cate Campbell touched in 3 minutes, 29.69
seconds.
The silver went to Canada in
3:32.78, while the Americans
capped their morning with one
more medal. With Simone Manuel anchoring the relay, they
touched just behind their rivals
to the north in 3:32.81.
Kalisz was the first US medal

winner of the Tokyo Games, and
Jay Litherland — who was born
in Osaka — made it a 1-2 finish
for the Americans by rallying on
the freestyle leg to claim the silver. Brendon Smith of Australia
earned the bronze.
Kieran Smith grabbed another medal for the American men
with bronze in the 400 freestyle.
Tunisia’s Ahmed Hafnaoui was
the surprising winner from Lane
8 , w h i l e A u s t r a l i a ’s Ja c k
McLoughlin settled for silver after leading much of the race.
The US women also did their
part.
Japan’s Yui Ohashi won gold
in the women’s 400 IM with a
dynamic breaststroke leg, but
two Americans were right in her
wake. Emma Weyant earned the
silver, while the bronze went to
Hali Flickinger.
Kalisz, a protégé and former
training partner of Phelps,
touched first in 4:09.42. Litherland was next in 4:10.28, just
ahead of Smith (4:10.38).
Kalisz flexed his muscles and
then climbed atop the lane rope,
splashing the water while a contingent of his teammates
cheered him from the stands of
the nearly empty Tokyo Aquatics
Centre.
“U-S-A! U-S-A!” they chanted.
Kalisz was the silver medalist
in the grueling event at the Rio
Games five years ago. Now, at
age 27, he’s the best in the world
at using all four strokes.
“That one was the most special type of pain,” Kalisz said. “I

had vowed that I was going to
make that hurt as much as possible and give my absolute best to
accomplish this.”
Litherland came over to give
the winner a hug, having ensured the Americans got off to
the best possible start at the
pool.
“To come back and do this
with Chase means a lot,” said
Litherland, who finished fifth in
the 400IM at Rio.
After putting on their medals
during a masked-up victory ceremony, Kalisz and Litherland
walked around the deck arm in
arm. No social distancing for
them.
The Americans seized their
chance after Japanese star Daiya
Seto stunningly failed to advance to the final, having finished ninth in the preliminaries
after making a tactical error attempting to save his energy for
the medal race.
From the far edge of the pool,
Hafnaoui joined Ous Mellouli as
a gold medalist from the north
African country of Tunisia.
Hafnaoui finished in 3:43.26,
followed by McLoughlin
(3:43.52) and Kieran Smith
(3:43.94).
Ohashi helped to make up for
Seto’s flop in the men’s IM. She
pulled away in the breast to win
4:32.08.
The only people in the stands
of the 15,000-seat arena were
media, VIPs, officials, and swimmers who weren’t competing
Sunday.

repechage, no second shot.
So it went, too, for South Korea’s Oh Sang-uk, the reigning
world champion who put out
Andrew Mackiewicz of Westwood, Mass., but went out himself in the quarters. Daryl Homer, the American who’d made
history by winning the silver
medal in Rio in 2016, lost his
first match to an Egyptian.
The Olympics are the most
dramatic and cruelest proving
ground in sports because they
take the efforts of a full quadrennium, if not a lifetime, and pass
judgment on one day. That’s literally true in disciplines such as
fencing, judo, taekwondo, and
weightlifting where the entire
competition is conducted on the
same day. Wake up with a stomach virus, twist an ankle step-

ping off a bus, have a careless
moment or two against a clever
rival, and you can leave the
Games emptyhanded.
That’s why athletes in those
sports were so worried about the
coronavirus. A soccer player
who’s sent into quarantine after
the first round still will get a gold
medal if her teammates win the
final without her. A boxer who
has advanced to the semifinals
will collect the bronze medal
that he earned by getting that
far. Not so the fencer. A positive
test here — and we’ve seen them
virtually every day since athletes
began arriving in the village —
and you miss your moment.
At least fencers have a shot at
a team medal if they fall short in
the individual competition. Dershwitz, who preferred not to talk
after his match, will get that
chance on Wednesday along

men’s saber after earlier defeating Eli Dershwitz of the US.

with Homer and Mackiewicz.
The odds are decidedly longer
for that one — the Americans are
ranked eighth — but at least it’s
an opportunity to have another
spin of the five-ringed roulette
wheel.
Kim, who picked up his second straight bronze here after
losing to Italy’s Luigi Samele in
the semis, has an excellent prospect for a second gold with Korea’s powerhouse squad. He got
one in London in 2012, but the
team event was dropped for Rio.
Now, at 37, Kim can banish the
feelings of emptiness before he
retires for good.
The unrivaled master of seizing the day at Olympus, though,
is Hungary’s Aron Szilagyi, who
won his third consecutive gold
medal by slashing Samele by a
15-7 count. No man ever had
done that in saber, but what’s re-

markable is that the 31-year-old
Szilagyi not only never has won
a world title, he hasn’t won a
medal in eight years. Dershwitz
beat him in the 2018 quarters en
route to his silver.
Yet Szilagyi knows how to
grab the golden ring that comes
around only once every four
years. This time, of course, it was
five. COVID disrupted the quadrennial rhythms and played
havoc with preparation. This
seemed to be a Games when anyone could have his day.
But the man who did was the
man who has perfected the art of
thriving in the moment on three
continents. And this time, because of the safety-first ceremonial protocols, Szilagyi got to put
the medal around his own neck.
“I need a couple of weeks, maybe
months,” he reckoned, “to believe what just occurred.”

Waiving the inspection
contingency may help
buyers win a home in this
seller’s market, but it
could come at a high cost.

J

By Jim Morrison

GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

oe Aiello of Gumshoe Home Inspection in Winthrop found significant termite damage in an attached garage when clients hired
him to inspect a 5,000-square-foot
home in Concord. He also discovered small leaks in the copper
heating pipes in the basement (he
suspects there are similar ones in
the walls) and a dangerous situation with the electrical panel.
Those problems are expected to cost several
thousand dollars to repair, but it won’t be the seller
bearing the cost.
His clients already had purchased the home —
without requiring an inspection.
Real estate agents say more prospective buyers
than ever are waiving home inspections to make
their offers more attractive to owners in this frenzied seller’s market. And many in the business say
that’s an unnecessary gamble.
Without an inspection, buyers risk spending
hundreds of thousands of dollars or more on a
home that could have major defects, ones that may
not be obvious to the average person for months or

years, said Dina B. Browne, a partner at Bletzer &
Bletzer, P.C. in Boston and cochair of the Residential Conveyancing Section of the Real Estate Bar
Association for Massachusetts.
“I have been handling real estate closings since
1998 and have never seen a market like this,”
Browne said. “I don’t think we’ve yet seen the repercussions that will follow with all of the waivers,
as those buyers are just moving into their homes.
There are a lot of first-time buyers waiving these
inspections who are only able to put a 5 percent
down payment. If they get in there and the furnace
goes, I don’t think they’re going to have the money
to replace it, and that’s what scares me.”
Typically, a buyer’s offer includes a contingency
to get the home inspected by a professional within
seven to 10 days of it being accepted. If the inspection reveals defects, customarily the buyers can either renegotiate with the sellers, proceed with the
sale, or simply walk away and get their deposit
back. Waiving the inspection contingency could
make an offer attractive even if it isn’t the highest
bid, because it shows the buyer is serious and reduces the risk of the sale falling through.
Many agents do not recommend waiving an inspection, according to Steve Medeiros, president of
the Massachusetts Association of Realtors and an

agent at Keller Williams Realty. “A Realtor’s responsibility is to provide the information and help
buyers make the most educated decision as to how
they approach a home purchase, and this is something that applies in all market conditions,” Medeiros wrote in an e-mail. “Our members can and
do recommend that home buyers conduct an inspection, though our clients have a legal right to go
against that recommendation and waive the contingency based on their personal risk tolerance.”
Buyer agents have come up with a few workarounds to make their clients’ offers more competitive and still protect them: having a home inspected before making an offer, hiring an inspector to
accompany them to a showing to look for red flags,
or having the property inspected after their clients
sign the purchase and sale agreement, the more
formal contract signed after the initial offer. But,
according to the Massachusetts Association of Realtors, there is no guarantee that the seller will allow an inspection once the agreement is signed. If

sign the purchase and sale agreement, they have
few options. They can’t renegotiate to include the
cost of repairs. They could continue with the transaction and repair the defects after they own the
house, or they could try to get out of the sale and
almost certainly forfeit their deposit. And the buyer’s liability may not end there. “The seller may
have additional opportunities to pursue more
damages depending on the scope of the contract
signed,’’ MAR noted in an e-mail.

he resurgence of carcharodon carcharias
in our coastal waters
has, for some, diminished interest in
swimming in the Atlantic Ocean.
No matter.
Among its many amenities,
this Reading home that objectively qualifies for the noun “estate” contains a 648-square-foot
in-ground saltwater pool with a
fieldstone jumping rock, a gas
heater, and wide stairs into the
soothing, sharkless environment.

The 0.77-acre lot also includes a barn-like pool house
complete with cupola, an outdoor kitchen underneath a pergola of Western red cedar, a custom fire pit with Rockportmined granite and cobblestones,
a stone wall, an irrigation well to
care for meticulous landscaping,
and a plumbed two-car garage
with a 700-square-foot bonus
space on the second floor. (This
is an incomplete list. Fact.)
And then there is the house
itself, built in 1882 but tweaked,
expanded, remade, rebuilt, and
refreshed into a 3,012-squarefoot space. The face this home

shows to the public is still that of
the New England Colonial farmhouse with its sharp rooflines,
and the interior is a modern
homage to its past.
The welcoming porch is
reached via a wide, recently installed walkway. A windowed
red door opens into the living
room. While newer builds relish
open floor plans, this home retains some affection for the separation of spaces (and possibly its
inhabitants). The living room is
such a space and offers a trio of
windows, recessed lighting, and
a light fixture that mimics the

Is a rubber roof the solution for ice dams?

The Remodeler

MARK PHILBEN

Answers your questions
about leaks, chips, cracks,
tools, and more.

Q. When ice dams form, we have a leak that comes
down off the edge of the roof and into the kitchen above a
small window. The pitch of the roof is “shallow-ish,”
which may be a part of the problem. A few years ago, we
had someone install rubber flashing under a new shingle
roof, but the problem persists. A roofer is now telling us
that we need to install a plain rubber roof, something
that makes me shudder. Our house is a beautiful 1787
Cape, and I think a rubber roof would look awful. Is this
truly our only alternative?
S.L.A., Scituate
A. You are right. A rubber roof would look horrible on
what sounds like a beautiful vintage home! Please don’t
do that.
It sounds like they used an ice and water shield under
the roof shingles, which can help. Guessing from your description, if the roof is that shallow, ice dams have a
much easier time traveling backward up the roof and
probably right past the ice and water shield.

I would go after the root of all ice dams, heat loss. The
key to stopping ice dams from forming is to keep the heat
in your home and not let it escape through the eave space
and melt the snow on your roof. A great way to start is to
have an energy audit done on the house. A qualified company can pinpoint heat loss very accurately using an infrared camera. Armed with that information, you would
then have an insulation company make recommendations on how best to insulate the area between the ceiling
and the roof. Capes are tricky because they don’t have attics, and getting access to those tight areas is hard. If at
all possible, spray-foam insulation placed in the eave areas where ice dams form would get you the most bang for
your buck. The rest of the roof area toward the middle of
the house could get away with blown-in insulation.
Q. We have new white oak wood floors with a natural
seal, and they look incredible. One of our cats stained an
area in the bedroom. It is now a very dark black. Is there

a way to fix this round black spot without sanding? The
flooring has four coats of sealer.
P.B.
A. Before sanding, you can try using small amounts of
hydrogen peroxide and a clean cloth to work out the
stain. Other remedies include vinegar and water and
even baking soda and water. The trouble is that the staining probably goes deeper, so you never get it all out. At
that point, light sanding and spot finishing will almost
certainly be required. Sometimes adding a little stain will
help the sanded patch match the floor around it.

A Reading farmhouse
with modern updates
uHOME OF THE WEEK
Continued from Page H1

streetlights of yore.
The house transitions to a formal
dining room in which white wainscoting
playfully counters the black-and-white
wallpaper above it. A white chandelier
that mimics candlelight hangs from a
ceiling dotted with recessed lights, but
natural light emanates from above the
window seat.
From here, a short hallway leads to a
sunny breakfast room; a half bath with a
porcelain pedestal sink, white wainscoting, and tile flooring; a walk-in pantry,
and then the kitchen. The latter, which
takes up the right side of the house, was
remodeled in 2018. It now features solid
cherry cabinets (some with glass fronts);
stainless-steel appliances, including a
wine refrigerator; dark honed-granite
counters; an island with seating for six;
a farmhouse sink underneath a window;
recessed lighting; a brick backsplash;
double doors to a screen porch; a door
to a mudroom with built-in cabinetry;
and a fireplace that has a custom mantel
made with reclaimed hand-hewn beams
from a Maine barn. The flooring on this
level is hardwood.
A 2011 expansion created a 431square-foot family room that is open to
the kitchen and nestled to the left.
Stairs descend to 260 square feet of
finished basement with an office and
recreation space.

Upstairs, the owner suite is down a
hallway past the laundry closet. Wide
two-over-two windows beckon the sunshine, while a ceiling fan cools the
temperature. The 406-square-foot
space offers tall baseboards, recessed
lighting, and a walk-in closet. The ensuite bath features shiplap walls, a
double vanity with white cabinetry
and a granite counter; and a modern
shower with multiple heads, a glass divider, and ceramic tile on the walls and
floor. Prefer to soak your stress away?
The original claw-foot tub has been refinished.
Three bedrooms with single-door
closets, an office, and a full bathroom
with a tub/shower combination and a
double vanity complete this floor. The
flooring on this level is a mix of the original pine floors and wide heart-of-pine
planks milled in New Hampshire.
Susan Gormady of the Susan Gormady Group at Classified Real Estate in
Reading has the listing. As of press time,
an offer had been accepted on the home.

With ‘a great buyer agent, you don’t waive the home inspection’
uINSPECTIONS

Continued from Page H1

gency in their offer “even though I realize it may
substantially reduce their chance of prevailing.” If
they don’t want to include the contingency in the
offer because it is clear that they will lose if they do,
he said, he strongly encourages them to conduct a
pre-offer inspection when possible.
Cottone feels so strongly that he has often offered to pay for the home inspection of clients who
refuse to include one as part of their offer or prior
to making one. It would be taken out of his commission only if they close on the property, he said.
Some agents encourage a pre-offer inspection,
he said, and there are some who admit that unless
the buyer waives the inspection, they are unlikely
to prevail in a bidding war. “Most of those pre-offer
inspections are typically required to be abbreviated [shortened time frames in which less investigation occurs].”
Rona Fischman, an exclusive buyer’s agent at 4
Buyers Real Estate, doesn’t just suggest that her
buyers get an inspection before signing a purchase
and sale agreement. She requires it — in writing.

“Buyers do not have to waive their inspection,”
Fischman said. “You may have to get a pre-inspection consultation, or you may have to get your inspection very quickly. ... I have had more offers accepted this year than in the past two years.”
Jay McHugh, co-owner of LAER Realty Partners
in Chelmsford, has sold more than 1,000 homes in
30 years. He said his buyers sometimes waive the
inspection contingency, but they almost always
have the home inspected before or even after they
sign the purchase and sale agreement.
“You can waive your home inspection contingency,” McHugh said, “but if you have a great buyer
agent, you don’t waive the home inspection. When
I work for the buyer, it means I’m working in their
best interests. We insist on the right to do a walkthrough of the home prior to the closing. We have
the right to visit the home to check that everything’s still in order.”
He said one of the agents on his team had clients who waived the inspection on a town house.
After moving in, they found the furnace had failed,
allowing the products of combustion from the gas
burners into the house, a life-threatening condi-

tion and an expensive replacement.
Alex Steinberg of JBS Home Inspections did
an inspection for a couple after they bought a
condominium in a renovated two-unit building
that dates to 1898. They knew they were competing with at least one other bidder who had done
a walk-through with a home inspector, so they
made their offer and waived the contingency.
They hired Steinberg after the fact, on the advice
of friends.
When Steinberg got there, he found a hole in
the main sewer line that was venting sewer gases
into the condo. The owner of the other unit had
lived there for two decades and hadn’t known
about it. Steinberg guessed it could cost $5,000 to
$10,000 to replace it.
MAR emphasized the importance of having a
lawyer review a contract to buy.
Scott Kriss, president and CEO of Kriss Law/Atlantic Closing & Escrow, said any buyer protections
must be included in the offer because the purchase
and sale agreement “is just a more detailed memorandum” of the offer.
“Some agents are religious about making sure

[the offer is] reviewed before it’s submitted,” Kriss
said, “but it can take a few hours ... and the competitiveness of the market requires swift action.”
He said only about 5 percent of the buyers who
work with his firm have lawyers review their offers. “Because time is of the essence, buyers are
signing offers without having attorneys review”
them, he said. “While this isn’t historically unusual, the waiving of all contingencies is something
consumers should consult with an attorney about.”
Not doing so could backfire.
“We recently had a client who had an inspection on a property for informational purposes only,
and it disclosed a $250,000 structural problem.
Then he came to us, and we had to tell him there
was nothing we could do.”

Globe.com.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council (the “Council”) of the City of Boston (the “City”) has begun proceedings to form the Boston-Cambridge Tourism Destination
Marketing District (the “BCTDMD”) pursuant to the Tourism
Destination Marketing Districts Law, Chapter 40X of the
Massachusetts General Laws (“TDMD Law”) and to levy an
assessment on certain lodging businesses within the BCTDMD as set forth in the Resolution of Intention.
NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that at 1:00 PM on
August 9, 2021, a virtual meeting will be held online and
can be viewed at https://www.boston.gov/departments/
city-council/watch-boton-city-council-tv. This date and time
has been set as the time and place for a public hearing at
which time the Council proposes to consider the BCTDMD
and the proposed assessment. To request access, you may
contact the Government Ops Committee at ccc.go@boston.
gov or ccc.go@boston.gov .
Proposed Boundaries:
The BCTDMD includes all lodging businesses with fifty (50)
rooms or more located within the boundaries of the cities
of Boston and Cambridge.
Proposed Services:
The BCTDMD is designed to provide specific benefits directly to payors via a comprehensive and integrated sales
and marketing program aimed at promoting the entire destination and maximizing overnight stays in assessed businesses. Brand awareness, communications, meeting and
convention sales (domestic), global sales and marketing,
leisure/consumer marketing, special events/community
support, DEI Initiatives: Workforce Development & Supplier
Chain Pipeline, eco-tourism and sustainability, multilingual
assets and accessibility, and Cambridge tourism programs
will increase demand for overnight tourism and market
payors as tourist, meeting and event destinations, thereby
increasing demand for room night sales.

The annual assessment rate is one and one-half of one
percent (1.5%) of non-exempt gross short-term room rental
revenue.

ear the corner of the small, dark room, there is a narrow folding
bed. Every now and then, a speaker on a nearby table emits an
eerie violin riff. A line of red lights near the ceiling flashes, then
flashes again, bathing the room in a lurid glow. In the bed
someone who is fitted with a series of scalp and face electrodes
is sleeping.
This surreal tableau is part of scientists’ effort to breach the
wall between the waking world and wherever it is we are when
we’re dreaming. The researchers who control the speaker and flashing lights in the lab of
Ken Paller, a neuroscientist at Northwestern University, in Evanston, Ill., have been asking
questions of people who are dreaming and hoping to get answers.
The dreamers have talked back in a handful of cases. Or rather, signaled back, swiveling
their closed eyes back and forth or making little muscle twitches to answer arithmetic
problems asked by an experimenter. A paper published this year by Paller’s team together
with labs in France, Germany, and the Netherlands revealed that two-way communication
with dreamers is possible. This suggests that someday, researchers may be able to ask people what they’re dreaming about while they’re still sleeping.
It’s not quite on the level of “Inception,” the 2010 movie in which Leonardo DiCaprio
enters people’s dreams to steal their secrets, but it could be a way to learn more about the
peculiar places we inhabit, built by our brains without our knowledge, when we lie down
to sleep.

We have a chance to end racial
disparities in cancer diagnoses
By Sana Raoof

F

or primary care doctors, screening for
cancer is like relying on a few streetlights
to search an expanse of darkness.
The average American is currently
recommended to have regular screenings
for just three types of cancer: breast, colorectal, and
cervical. Screening increases the chances that a cancer
will be caught in its earliest stages, when the chance
of a cure is higher. If caught early, most cancers are localized and can be surgically removed or radiated.
An unfortunate reality is that people of color tend
to be diagnosed with many cancers at later stages, and
their chance of surviving is lower across the board.
Black people with cancer have a 28 percent higher
chance of dying from it than white people do. The
mortality rate for breast cancer, the most common
cancer in American women, is nearly 40 percent higher for Hispanic and Black women than for their white
counterparts. The mortality rate for prostate cancer,
the most common cancer in American men, is two to
three times higher in the Black community. A similar
pattern also shows up with colorectal cancer, with
poor people and people of color generally being diagnosed at a later stage.
There are many reasons for these later diagnoses:
reduced access to health care, lower rate of cancer
screenings, and a lack of health insurance or paid
medical leave. The result is that even among people
with the same type of cancer treated at the same hospital, with the same insurance status, income, and education level, patients of color still have a lower
chance of survival.
Regrettably, Black, Hispanic, and other people of
color have historically been underrepresented in clinical trials relating to cancer, including ones aimed at
determining the value of more aggressive screening
and early detection. In 1993, Congress passed the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Revitalization Act to
increase the inclusion of women and minorities in
clinical trials, but only 2 percent of NIH-funded trials
over the next 20 years met this goal. And this exclusion from research trials may affect clinical recommendations.
For example, Black men were underrepresented in
prostate cancer screening trials that concluded there
was little benefit to screening all adult American
males. The recommendations to doctors that were developed as a result of those trials, which drastically reduced prostate cancer screening, may have been disproportionately detrimental to Black men. In the largest clinical trial on screening for lung cancer, which
kills more Americans than any other cancer, only 9
percent of the study subjects were of any diverse racial
group, although nonwhite people made up 28 percent
of the US population in 2011, the year of the trial.
We especially need to improve early cancer detection. Routine medical visits, including those for cancer screening, steeply declined in 2020 because of

ANTHONY KWAN/BLOOMBERG

A technician prepares a sample inside a lab in Hong Kong where researchers have been developing
“liquid biopsy” tests for cancer.

COVID-19, and now we’re seeing more late-stage diagnoses as a result of missed screenings. For example,
in the early months of the pandemic, 7 percent of
breast cancer diagnoses in the Kaiser Permanente
health care system were made at a late stage, compared with 2 percent in 2019. People of color, who already suffer from reduced access to primary care, will
be disproportionately represented among those with
cancer diagnoses that might have been caught with
regular screening.
Fortunately, there are new technologies on the horizon that may help fill the gaps. Scientists and startup companies are developing “liquid biopsies” —
blood tests that detect molecular signals of dozens of
cancers at once. If a patient tested positive, doctors
could follow up with imaging or tissue biopsies to confirm a specific cancer diagnosis.
These simple blood tests would be offered at doctor’s offices and community clinics, in theory making
them more convenient and quicker for patients who
have historically faced obstacles to health care access.
There is hope that liquid biopsies may provide a practical safety net for individuals who often fall through
the cracks in the status quo, in which cancer screen-

ing can require multiple time-consuming and sometimes invasive tests such as a colonoscopy, a mammogram, or a CT scan.
That’s why special effort must be taken to include
representative samples of all racial and ethnic groups
in clinical trials on these technologies. And if these
tests pass muster and are someday recommended as
standard screens, it will be vital both to bring these
technologies to community hospitals that serve populations of color and to ensure their affordability.
However, initial studies on liquid biopsies appear
to have been underrepresentative. My analysis of the
first few large trials indicates that between 4.6 and
13 percent of the study subjects were people of color
— less than half their proportion in the general
population.
A commitment to diversity in upcoming clinical
trials for liquid biopsies could determine whether this
cutting-edge early detection technology will widen or
close the gap in cancer outcomes that has persisted
for too long.

Political scientists at MIT found that voter
turnout increased by several percentage
points among municipal employees in New
York City whose hourly wages were affected
by increases in the minimum wage. Researchers found a similar effect when they analyzed
county-by-county turnout in presidential elections over the past several decades after local
increases in the minimum wage. Higher income may help workers avert the life difficulties that prevent them from voting, the researchers speculate. Or it could be that
watching the government raise the minimum
wage drives home the importance of political
engagement or increases workers’ sense of

The perils of specialization
An analysis of dozens of studies of athletic
performance revealed that world-class youth
and adult athletes take different routes to
success. World-class youth athletes started in
their sport at an earlier age, had more practice time with coaches, and reached milestones more quickly. World-class adult athletes, by contrast, started and reached milestones at later ages and accumulated less
coach-led practice time in their main sport
but more time in other sports. The findings
suggest that playing several sports at a young
age, rather than specializing in one, leads to
more sustained success.

to be elite athletes as adults.

Students, interrupted
Research out of Brown University suggests
that external interruptions of classroom instruction, such as intercom announcements
and visits from staff, are a major drag on
learning. Based on surveys and classroom observation in the Providence Public School District (PPSD), the researchers “estimate that,
over the course of an academic year, PPSD
high school students experience more than
2,000 instances of external interruptions,”
resulting “in the loss of between 10 and 20
days of instructional time,” with students in
some schools experiencing “three times as
many interruptions as do students in other
schools.” Researchers found that PPSD
administrators significantly underestimate
the scale of the problem.

Numbers don’t lie
Benford’s Law says that the digit 1 is most

likely. A 3 is the third-most likely, and so on,
down to 9. Deviations from the norm have
been used to allege fraud in election results,
for example. If the vote totals in many precincts start with the digit 9, that’s a sign that
someone may have made up the totals. In a
new study, researchers applied Benford’s Law
to the monthly counts of use of force against
inmates as reported by the California Department of Corrections. They found evidence
“consistent with misreporting,” especially in
high-security prisons.

A car-sharing program that’s plugged
into equity and the environment
B y M i l e s H o wa r d

E

lectric cars won’t do much to reduce CO2
emissions if most people can’t afford
them. And even if every car became electric overnight, we’d still have to contend
with our worsening problem of road

congestion.
But what if you could regularly use an electric car
to get around without having to buy one? What if, in
addition to promoting EV sales as it does now, the federal government were to fund electric-car-sharing
programs?
Nonprofits in several US cities are modeling this
idea, in the form of city-assisted pilot programs priced
to compete with private-sector car-sharing services
such as Zipcar. In Boston, a new service called
Good2Go offers EV sharing on an income-tiered price
scale.
Founded and initially funded by a Framinghambased clean energy nonprofit, E4TheFuture — with
the help of a grant from the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center — Good2Go will soon have eight Nissan
Leafs available at charging stations in Roxbury and Jamaica Plain. If you receive any social safety net services like SNAP or Medicaid, you’re automatically eligible
for $5 per hour pricing. Otherwise, the rate for car use
is $10 per hour. (By contrast, Zipcar rates start at
$8.50 an hour, but you also have to pay a membership
fee of $7 a month or $70 a year.)
Drivers use a smartphone app to book one of the
Nissan Leafs for a time slot and then pick up the car,
run their errands, and plug it back into the charging
station. All drivers are protected by insurance that’s
tied to the vehicle they rent and drive.
West Roxbury resident Zoraida Gonzalez is one of
the pioneering users of Good2Go. “A few months ago,
someone rear-ended me and totaled my vehicle,” Gonzalez explains. She had run into delays being approved
for a Zipcar membership. So after learning about
Good2Go through Union Capital Boston, a community-engagement organization, Gonzalez decided to try
EV sharing for local trips like grocery shopping and
taking her dog to the vet.
“I do like the fact that it is electric. That’s pretty
cool,” Gonzalez says. Even when she eventually buys a
new car — which she says will be a hybrid, ideally —
Gonzalez says she will still use Good2Go regularly
for local errands, saving her car for longer trips or
emergencies.
After talking to Gonzalez, I decided to take one of
the Good2Go EVs on a midday, midweek mission to
the Stoughton IKEA, just beyond the MBTA’s reach. I
booked 24 hours in advance, and on the appointed
day and time I found two white Nissan Leafs with the
Good2Go logo splashed across the doors plugged into
a charging terminal at 737 Centre Street, a short walk
from my apartment. I unlocked one of them with the
mobile app, and within a couple of minutes, I was
cruising down Blue Hill Avenue toward I-93.

DAVID L. RYAN/GLOBE STAFF

One of the shared electric cars in the Good2Go program in Jamaica Plain.

Every turn of the wheel was smooth. Other than a
stray crumb and dust bunny, the vehicle interior
looked as clean as any mainstream rental. The cars
are washed and vacuumed by a fleet associate, who also monitors the Good2Go stations to ensure that the
vehicles have been plugged into the charger. After
procuring a contoured memory foam pillow and some
pickled herring from IKEA, I drove back to JP. The
Leaf battery had dipped from 100 percent to 78 percent. I had driven 37 miles and had the car for two
hours. All told, the rental cost me $20.
If I wanted to buy my own Leaf for such trips, I’d
be looking at $32,620, although federal tax credits
would reduce that by $7,500.
If demand for Good2Go EVs grows, E4TheFuture
will have to scale up by offering more vehicles in more
locations. This would test the fiscal limits of the nonprofit, which is subsidizing the rentals in order to
offer EV sharing at an affordable price. Susan Buchan,
director of energy projects at E4TheFuture, believes
that a public-private partnership would allow EV
sharing services like Good2Go to reach their potential.
“To make this viable for not just low-income communities but also for people who live in the city and
don’t want a car, or who only need a car occasionally,
it’s probably going to take a broader state program,”

Buchan says.
Cities mindful of emissions and congestion could
take ownership of this concept and replicate the
Good2Go model on a much larger scale. Congress
could grease the wheels by offering grants to states
that are game for establishing their own EV-sharing
programs. With sufficient investment, this would
mean a bigger, more widely distributed fleet of EVs
and a better user experience for people like Gonzalez,
who would no longer have to find a way to commute
to Good2Go EVs in neighborhoods beyond her own.
As Buchan points out, apartment complexes and business districts are logical places to put more EVs.
A public EV-sharing program would also be better
positioned to offer long-term prices low enough to
persuade some Americans to forgo owning a second
car — or even a first one. It’s one thing to embrace EV
sharing as a stopgap for people who can’t afford to
buy their own EV. But it would be more audacious
and progressive to make EV sharing affordable and
easy enough to inspire people to question car ownership as the default. Because today, we’re suffering
from the logical conclusion of that idea. The proof is
on the interstate, local roads, and in the atmosphere.

‘I kept a
closed heart’

My life in Massachusetts foster care
B y I l i a n a Jo a q u i n , a s t o l d t o K e l l y H o r a n
Iliana Joaquin sums up the eight years she spent in the Massachusetts
foster care system this way: “Instability. Lack of trust. Sometimes, abuse.”
She had just turned 11 when she and her two brothers, ages 5 and 13, were
placed in their first foster home in the state, in 2002. Until then, theirs had
been an itinerant existence in and out of shelters in New York City, where
Joaquin and her siblings were born. “We were homeless from my birth,”
Joaquin says. “At times, my mother would just pack us up in the middle of
the night and take us to another shelter. This was just a regular thing for us.”
Joaquin missed so much school, she fell two grades behind.
When she aged out of the foster care system in 2010, at 18, Joaquin wanted answers. “No one would ever really tell me the truth,” she says, “so I did a
lot of digging. I grilled my social workers. I went back and said, ‘Hey, you.
Listen. I have questions.’”
The portrait that emerged from the fragments in her Department of Children and Families (DCF) file is one of powerlessness and vulnerability — being at the mercy of others. Joaquin’s mother took her children from New
York to Florida to Massachusetts. “I learned that the whole reason we were
constantly moving,” Joaquin says, “is that my mother is schizophrenic. She
was always struggling with paranoia. The whole time, she thought she was
keeping us safe.” Joaquin’s father, who, like her mother, is from the Dominican Republic, lost track of his daughter. She was 9 when she last saw him.
Now 29, Joaquin, who works in marketing in the health care industry,

Nearly 10,000 youths are currently in foster care in Massachusetts. Ideas
spoke with Joaquin about her experience and why she volunteers as a mentor to young people still in the system. “One of the things that sticks with you
in foster care,” she says, “is the idea that these people don’t care about you,
they are paid to do this. My mentees have never heard of someone not getting money to be with them. I keep showing up, and that way, they know I
really care.”

Scraps of story
swimming in
sensation
At the moment, the best way to get information about the alternate life we
enter while sleeping is simply to wake
someone up and ask if they were just
dreaming. Scientists may also ask volunteers to try to dream about a given
task. But there is a delay between a
dream and when scientists can try to
learn about it, let alone influence it.
“One of the main challenges of doing
dream research is that you only have
access to the dream experience, the
dream report, after the fact,” says Antonio Zadra, a professor of psychology at
the University of Montreal.
A phenomenon called lucid dreaming offers the possibility of communication in real time. Lucid dreaming is
when you realize you are dreaming but
do not wake up, and instead you continue to explore your imaginary world.
Lucid dreamers can control their sur-

roundings and the narrative of their
dreams to a certain extent. In the 1980s
and ’90s, Stephen LaBerge, a sleep researcher then at Stanford, helped bring
the subject to the mainstream, and
LaBerge’s guides to dreaming lucidly sit
on many a bookshelf. It is possible for
some people to train themselves to
dream this way, and myriad hobbyists
have found themselves awake in a
dreamland, able to shape it to their
whims.
Researchers have found that lucid
dreamers can move their closed eyes
voluntarily while asleep and can signal
using a prearranged rapid movement —
left-right-left-right — that they’ve become lucid. The sleeper may then perform another prearranged task, like
singing a song or practicing a workout
in the dream and then signal again
when they’ve completed it. This has allowed researchers to ask big questions.
Do activities take the same amount of
time in a dream as in waking life? (Yes,
it appears.) Does practicing some task
while dreaming improve the performance while awake? (Jury’s still out,
but maybe.)
This method of experimentation can
also reveal how the brain handles

Iliana’s story
e were at the DCF
office in Lowell. We
had spent the previous
night at the police station and then a shelter.
Someone gave us each a backpack with
coloring books, a toy, a teddy bear, a hygiene packet, a toothbrush. Nothing was
making sense. Somebody explained that
we would spend the night somewhere else,
but without our mother. We were confused. At the same time, we were kind of
going where the adults
were leading us. My little brother was hysterical.
Our first placement was unlike anything I could have imagined. It was meant
to be temporary — for the night or the
week, but my little brother and I were
there for three years. Because my older
brother is intellectually disabled, he was
removed fairly early on and sent to a group
home.
It was a two-family house owned by an
elderly woman whose adult son and family
lived downstairs. There were rooms for
girls and boys, each with two sets of bunk
beds. There were three or four other kids
there at any given time.
I didn’t understand the household
rules. We were allowed only a five-minute
shower once a week. Even while homeless,
we bathed every day, even if just a sponge
bath. We couldn’t play or move around the
house. We could use only the back stairs,
not the front. We would go to school, come
home, and sit at a kitchen table where we
would do our homework and eat dinner
and wait until bedtime. We had to ask to
go to the bathroom. This was all really
hard to understand as a kid. If we didn’t
finish what was on our plate, we had to sit
and stare at it. We couldn’t grab food or
snacks. At night, the cabinets and the
fridge had locks on them.
I remember when they would order
Chinese food for the family downstairs — I
knew what it smelled like. On those
nights, I would have to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for all the kids’
dinners.
Pretty early on, separated from my older brother and feeling like I needed to protect my little brother, any time I saw a social worker or anyone with power, I would
say, “Please don’t take him.” I always tried
to keep us calm as a unit, so that we would
not be separated. I tried hard not to act
out. It hurt me trying to protect my brother. He was picky. He hated onions, and
there was an incident. He ate something
with onions in it, threw it up on his plate,
and [the elderly woman] made him eat it
again. I yelled.
At night I would sneak into the kitchen
to find anything that might have been left
out — a Ritz cracker, anything. I would
sneak into where my brother slept and
feed him and then hide the wrappers and
the crumbs. I did this every night. He was
hungry. He was 5 years old.

dreaming. When lucid dreamers trace a
line with their eyes, Benjamin Baird at
the University of Wisconsin and colleagues have found, they move with a
smoothness they don’t have when
awake and imagining the same experience. That suggests dreaming is more
like a lived experience than an imagined one.
In the new study published this year,
four labs around the world trained volunteers to recognize when they were
dreaming. At Northwestern, the training involved lying in the bed, about to
drift off, while Karen Konkoly, a graduate student who is the paper’s lead author, occasionally played the violin riff
or a beeping sound or flashed the lights
and asked the volunteers to practice
checking if they thought they were
dreaming, taking note of any strange
events or perceptions. (You have eight
fingers on each hand? You’re probably
dreaming.) Once a person fell asleep,
Konkoly watched the readings from
their electrodes to see when they entered REM sleep, when many dreams
happen. Then she flashed the lights or
played the sounds in hopes of triggering a revelation in the dreamer.
The details of other labs’ protocols

The instability, the lack of trust, that
people could be so evil — I struggled. The
elderly woman used to have me brush the
bathroom tile once a week with a toothbrush. I was old enough to know that none
of that was OK.
The turning point in that house came
when a pair of siblings, maybe 2 or 3 and 5
years old, arrived. The little one had tantrums. I felt for her. Once, when she would
not stop crying and pulling out her hair,
the woman locked her in the mudroom. It
was winter and there was no heat and she
was there crying for hours. I didn’t know
what to do.
In the system you have a social worker
you see maybe every month and an assigned lawyer you see probably every few
months. The problem is a lot of the social
workers will meet with you in front of your
foster parents. But the lawyer would take
us out for ice cream and dig and dig and
dig. She felt that something was off in that
house. I told her about the incident with
the little girl. They removed us and the
other children shortly thereafter.
During that period, my father passed
away and I missed his funeral by a couple
of months because I hadn’t known. I later
learned that he’d been trying to get custody of me. He’d come to Massachusetts
against doctor’s orders to find me — he
had a heart condition, I found out, and
was not supposed to travel. He went to
DCF and they wouldn’t pull me out of
school because it wasn’t a planned visit. I
had been very close to my father when I
was young, and I was heartbroken about
this for years.
I was in three homes total, which is low
— the average is six to eight. My first sexual experiences were in the form of abuse in
foster care, though not at the hands of my
foster parents. I do think the foster parents
in the other homes cared — the family in
our second placement adopted my little
brother and became my older brother’s
guardians. But I didn’t trust anyone. I had
to survive and protect my little brother. My
agenda was: Get through and get out. I excelled in school and sports and saved money working two jobs, and I kept a closed
heart.
I made a best friend in high school, and
her family is who I consider my family
now. They show up for anything that is important to me. They bought me an old car
so that I could get to and from work. In an
emergency, they are the people I call. I
once gave them a glass postcard that says
“Thank you for always being there for me.
You didn’t have to get paid to do so.”
I think of that as I mentor two teen
mothers in foster care. They say, “What,
you volunteer?’ I say, ‘Yes, I want to be
here for you. I want to be present.’” And
that’s odd for them to hear, but it gives
them a little more of a reason to trust me.

varied, but they all used established
methods of inducing lucid dreaming.
(Some subjects, already experienced lucid dreamers, needed no training.) Out
of 36 participants across the four labs,
15 successfully signaled that they had
become lucid. The experiment up to
this point was much like other lucid
dreaming studies, but then the researchers did something unusual —
they asked the sleepers to answer math
questions, like 8 minus 6, or posed
other kinds of questions. Some experimenters spoke these questions, some
used Morse code, and others had other
methods. Six dreamers responded.
When they moved their eyes or made
other signals in apparent response,
their movements were often ambiguous. But about half the time, they
encoded the correct answer, swiveling
left and right twice to indicate “2,” for
instance.
After these attempts at communication, the researchers woke subjects and
asked them to talk through their
dreams. What they described had that
familiar blend of fantastical eeriness
and the strikingly mundane. One subject was fighting goblins when he realized the researchers were attempting to

US soldiers at Long Binh base, northeast of Saigon, line up to give urine samples at a heroin detection center on June 25, 1971, before departing for the
United States.

Lessons learned — and lost — from
a Vietnam-era study of addiction

O

By Lauren Aguirre
pioids like heroin, morphine, OxyContin, and fentanyl are widely
thought to be particularly dangerous and addictive substances. But
does the evidence justify that view?
One way to find out would be to
study a random sample of people living in the same
environment, exposed to the same quantity of opioids,
who can be tested and followed over time. Impossible
and unethical, right?
So it would seem. But a study like that actually
took place 50 years ago. The unexpected results shed
light on the nature of addiction and the position of
opioids in the array of widely misused drugs. It’s too
bad this research has been largely forgotten because
its lessons can be useful today.
In 1971, President Richard Nixon declared drug
abuse the nation’s “No 1. Public Health Problem.” At
the time, the military was concerned about soldiers in
Vietnam who had easy access to heroin. To get a better handle on the problem and see how best to support veterans, the Department of Defense, the National Institutes of Health, and the Veterans Administration funded a research project.
The starting point for this natural experiment was
to figure out who had become addicted to heroin. In
September 1971, every soldier scheduled to return
home had a urine test to check for drug use. Soldiers
knew that a positive test meant they would be sent to
detox for six to seven days. Based in part on this information, the researchers assumed these men were unable to stop using and had become addicted.
Sociologist Lee N. Robins, who was hired to lead
the research project, selected and interviewed a random sample of 470 soldiers from the nearly 14,000
headed home in September 1971, as well as a sample
of 495 who had tested positive for opioids. Almost half
of all enlisted men in the Army serving in Vietnam
had tried one of two opioids — heroin and opium —
and 20 percent had become addicted while there. All
had been in the country for one year, the length of a

contact him. Another recounted, “I was
in a parking lot at night . . . then suddenly it was daytime and I was in the
video game.” Another found himself in
a medical office: “I was alone in the
room and there was a large doctor’s
couch in the middle of the room,
shelves, sideboards. The couch was
strange . . . ” When the lights began to
flash on and off, he searched for something to flash an answer back with and
found a bowl full of water, which then
fell from his hands and broke.
The dream reports show a complex
soup of impressions, with scraps of story swimming in sensation. But subjects
who answered a question confirmed
that they had perceived the question in
the dream, the researchers report, and
some described how they had answered
it by making certain movements. This
suggests that at least some of the time,
two-way communication is possible
while a subject is asleep.
Lucid dreaming researchers knew or
suspected that this was the case, says
Wisconsin’s Benjamin Baird. Still, for
many in the wider community of sleep
researchers, the result was not a given.
Studies have indicated for some time
that sleepers’ brains can respond to

tour of duty, so their exposure to the drug-rich environment was essentially the same.
Eight to 12 months after the soldiers returned to
the United States, Robins and her team conducted
confidential interviews and requested urine samples
for drug testing. Surprisingly, they learned that heroin
use was uncommon, even among those who had become addicted in Vietnam. In the first year back
home, only 5 percent had relapsed into addiction.
Some critics of the study argued that more veterans would relapse after a longer period of time. So two
years later, Robins and her team re-interviewed the
soldiers and again asked them to provide urine specimens for analysis. The researchers discovered that
only 12 percent had relapsed after three years. The
rest had recovered spontaneously without any treatment. The research results were so different from
what people expected that the scientific community
was skeptical, and the press assumed the study was a
Department of Defense whitewash.
Robins wrote that she “found little to justify the
view of heroin as an especially dangerous drug.” Instead, some people appear to be more vulnerable to
drug abuse in general. Those who became addicted to
heroin in Vietnam were more likely to have had social
problems before they arrived in the country and used
marijuana, alcohol, amphetamines, and other substances while there.
Nor did her team’s analysis show that heroin use
was a response to intolerable circumstances, like the
stress of war, although her research has recently been
advanced as evidence for that idea. Veterans who became addicted to heroin began to use it early in their
tours of duty in Vietnam, typically before they were in
combat. And, as Robins pointed out, more time at the
front line didn’t correlate with a greater likelihood of
using heroin. Robins also found that even though
some veterans returned to occasional use once they
were back home, they did not become addicted again.
“Certainly, our results are different from what we
expected in a number of ways,” Robins and her colleagues wrote in 1977. “It is uncomfortable presenting
results that differ so much from clinical experience

sounds from the world around them;
sleepers show distinctive brain waves at
the sound of their own name, for instance. But what would happen when
they were questioned in a dream state
was not clear. Paller was not even sure
whether the subjects would perceive
the questions accurately.
“We could present words and ask
questions, but these people are in a
dream. They might hear totally different questions from what we ask,” he
says. “We might say one question, like
‘What’s 8 minus 6?’ and they might
hear ‘What’s pineapple and grapefruit?’”
The dreamers did hear the questions
more or less as stated — that is, if they
heard anything. Curiously, many of the
lucid dreamers in the study did not realize they were being signaled to. They
made the eye movement to show that
they were lucid and then they did not
respond to the prompts. When they
woke up, they had no memory of being
questioned.

A café in Paris
It is not clear why some people perceived the questions and others did not
or what property of their dreams or
state of consciousness might explain
the difference. But staying lucid is like
balancing on a knife’s edge, says Harvard sleep researcher Robert Stickgold.
On the one hand, you may get so excited you’ve achieved lucidity that you
wake up. On the other, you can fall back
into the deep, languid waters of regular
dreaming, losing the ability to participate in experiments.
That is one of the limitations inherent in questioning lucid dreamers and
one of the reasons that dream researchers are cautious about what practical
use the discovery may have for future
research.
“There is potential to use that method in new studies to test the function of
dreaming,” says Erin Wamsley, a professor of psychology who studies memory
and dreaming at Furman University, in
Greenville, S.C. “However, the method
will always be really difficult and impractical, in the sense that you have to
test dozens of participants before get-

with addicts in treatment.”
For all its strengths, the Vietnam study had its
weaknesses. One was that individuals with known
mental illness, who are more likely to have substance
abuse disorders, were excluded from serving in the
Army, so there’s no way to know if they would have
relapsed into addiction at higher rates than other
veterans.
Nevertheless, the evidence from this 50-year-old
study is consistent with what we know about substance use disorders today. Polysubstance use remains
widespread. And many people recover on their own
from drug addictions. Compared with the roughly 20
million people in the United States with active substance use disorders, more than 20 million are in
long-term recovery. Most of them did not receive formal treatment.
Also, exposure to opioids doesn’t inevitably lead to
a substance use disorder. Some people can use opioids
occasionally without becoming addicted. In fact, a recent analysis found that only about 3 percent of the
tens of millions of people prescribed opioids become
addicted.
Americans are right to be concerned about opioids.
But for perspective, in 2016, at least 150,000 deaths
were caused directly or indirectly by all drugs combined compared with about 42,000 overdose deaths
associated with opioids.
The United States is in the grip of an addiction crisis, not just an opioid crisis. Although the Vietnam
study didn’t provide a prescription for ending this epidemic, it did reveal that opioids are just one devastating piece of the puzzle. We should be careful not to focus so sharply on those drugs that we fail to see the
whole picture clearly.
A version of this essay first appeared on the web site of

stories on health, medicine, and scientific discovery.

ting one instance of really convincing,
successful communication.” Baird also
points out that two-way communication isn’t necessary for many questions
researchers want to ask. He suggests
that understanding how sound and
other information percolates into
dreamers’ consciousness might be a
more meaningful next step.
Still, if methods for inducing lucid
dreaming were to improve and protocols for communication got easier —
Paller and Konkoly are working on getting people to signal back using sniffing, which may be easier than moving
their eyes — then a constellation of tantalizing little experiments might await.
Do dreamers’ memories work like those
of waking people? Or what happens
when you close your eyes in a dream?
Do you see darkness or something else?
What do your brainwaves look like in
those moments? Somewhere far down
the road, experiments might investigate
whether dreams shaped by researchers
have the ability to change dreamers’
waking lives.
Zadra and Stickgold wonder about
the constraints of the dreamworld itself. Transformations in dreams appear
to follow certain rules. “A bus driver

might turn into the milkman or into a
child, but she will not turn into a book,”
says Zadra. “The bus might turn into a
motorcycle, but the bus is not going to
turn into a bird and fly away.” Similarly,
Stickgold says, if a lucid dreamer tries
to teleport to a café in Paris, they may
find themselves unable to do so until
they pass through a doorway or turn a
corner, forcing the brain to fill in a new
imagined landscape — one that it can
make Parisian. If researchers could ask
a dreamer to meet a certain person and
then signal if they succeed, or ask them
speak to passersby and then signal if
those people talk back, they might uncover other hidden barriers or rules
governing dream construction in real
time, without having to arrange the
task while the dreamer is awake.
Still, the best use of this emerging
method of communication may be
something no one’s thought of yet.
“It definitely opens a door,” says
Stickgold. “The question is, what’s on
the other side?”

Congress must bring antitrust
laws into the digital age to hold
Facebook accountable

Clash over obesity
research revisited
Academic’s rebuke of researcher
runs counter to scientific principles
High praise to the Globe (“The obesity research that blew up,”
Ideas, July 18) for featuring scientist Katherine Flegal, who, in a
recent science journal essay, revisits how she and her research
were attacked by Harvard professor Walter Willett. Willett’s rebuke of Flegal’s work was unprofessional and misogynistic.
“Kathy Flegal just doesn’t get it,” Willett told a reporter. How
would professor Willett like it if we called him Wally? How
would he react if others attacked his research as “rubbish” without conclusive scientific counterarguments?
Harvard should call Willett out as acting counter to scientific
principles that advance the field of nutrition.

Missed opportunity to take
a closer look at nutrition guidelines
In regard to Katherine Flegal’s obesity research that upends the
prevailing narrative, it’s really not that complex to consider —
and communicate — that optimal health may lie somewhere beyond a “normal” body mass index while continuing to promote a
message around the dangers of obesity. Too bad that ego
trumped curiosity and a reputable scientist was slandered, not
to mention shade thrown at revisiting nutritional guidelines.

The Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 broke up AT&T in the 1980s. It won’t work against Big Tech in 2021.

P

resident Biden’s selection of Jonathan
Kanter, a longtime critic of Big Tech’s anticompetitive practices, to head the Department of Justice’s antitrust division is a
sign that the administration is serious
about holding tech behemoths like Facebook accountable.
But the executive branch’s efforts alone are unlikely
to stop the social media giant from gobbling up its
competitors rather than competing fairly — which has
long allowed it to skirt the competitive market pressures that could force it to better protect its 2.5 billion
users from massive privacy breaches and fast-spreading misinformation. The administration’s ability to enforce antitrust laws, including pressing Facebook to
break off WhatsApp and Instagram into separate busi-

force was crafted decades ago to regulate and, if necessary, break up companies with more concretely defined markets, as in the landmark Standard Oil case.
Though the federal Sherman Antitrust Act was successfully used against AT&T in the 1980s to force the
company to break up its local telephone services,
known as Baby Bells, applying the 1890 Sherman Act
to the fast-changing Internet age has proved more
problematic for government regulators. There hasn’t
been a major successful action against a tech company
since a ruling against Microsoft led to a landmark settlement two decades ago.
“Anybody on the internet knows that Facebook has
monopoly power,” Senator Elizabeth Warren tweeted
after the ruling, calling for stronger antitrust laws.
“They control 85 percent of social network traffic,

The executive branch’s efforts alone are unlikely to stop the social media
giant from gobbling up its competitors rather than competing fairly.
nesses, is only as strong as the laws themselves and
the courts’ willingness to apply them to the digital
world.
That point was made clear last month when federal antitrust complaints filed by the Federal Trade
Commission and 48 states including Massachusetts
were thrown out by a federal judge in Washington.
Now Congress, where antipathy toward the tech giant’s actions is a rare area of bipartisanship, must act
with haste to bring antitrust laws into the social media age.
“Courts really don’t know how to define antitrust
markets in the digital context,” said Representative
David Cicilline of Rhode Island, a Democrat who
chairs the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial, and Administrative Law.
The ruling, by Judge James Boasberg, held that
federal and state officials failed to assert a “properly
defined antitrust product market,” a prerequisite to
proving that Facebook violated the law.
“It is almost as if the [FTC] expects the court to
simply nod to the conventional wisdom that Facebook
is a monopolist,” Boasberg wrote.
It was not a total legal victory for Facebook — state
and federal officials were given 30 days to refile new
complaints with more specifics about their claims. But
even if those lawsuits move forward, they would potentially take years to reach a conclusion.
The lawsuits also face a major complication: The
antitrust law that the FTC and the states seek to en-

bulldoze competition, and undermine our democracy.”
Just days before the ruling, the House Judiciary
Committee advanced several bills to update antitrust
laws to rein in anticompetitive practices by tech giants
like Facebook, Amazon, Google, and Apple. One would
shift the burden onto the companies to prove they are
competitive rather than on the government to prove
they are not. It would also give more resources to federal regulators to police anticompetitive activities in
the digital world.
The House bills follow a congressional report led by
Cicilline and Representative Ken Buck, a Republican
from Colorado, detailing the companies’ move to
squash or consume their competitors.
The companies “use the market dominance they
have to grow their market position to crush competitors, acquire them, and crush innovation,” Cicilline
said. “They’ve been allowed to grow and grow, basically with no oversight, no regulation, no robust antitrust
enforcement, and they now have enormous monopoly
power.”
The danger of Facebook’s unchecked power and
massive size are of particular concern to Biden, who
on Monday called the misinformation about vaccinations that Facebook allows to be disseminated on its
platform deadly. But staffing up his administration
with heavy hitters like Kanter, who made a career of
defending Big Tech’s competitors, won’t be enough if
the law hasn’t been modernized to back up those efforts. Only Congress can accept that request.

Thank you for finally placing the beneficiaries front and center
in your article on extended unemployment benefits (“Pandemic
aid was a lifesaver for jobless: Little evidence extra cash is keeping most recipients from returning to work,” Page A1, July 18).
From the early days of the debate during the waning days of the
last administration, the loud insistence by Republicans and employers that these benefits would encourage laziness and keep
people from seeking work was the dominant theme of the objections that were raised. It was a shameless assault on those struggling with a pandemic, lack of child care, sick and dying relatives, and the paralyzing fear that they, too, would be struck by
this potentially fatal illness.
In the attacks on our workers, these self-appointed experts
missed the point that the taxpayer-supported payments were a
public health measure to slow the spread of COVID-19. Somehow, these same employers, who tried to shame our workers,
considered themselves immune from criticism for the low wages
they paid and the condescending attitude they displayed toward
the people who created their wealth.
I also fault the press for allowing this worker-hating narrative to dominate for more than a year without proof that workers receiving benefits were shirkers. Yes, certain politicians and
employers should be ashamed but the media were often right
there with them.

In bridging partisan divide, project’s
teen participants point the way forward
Kudos to David McCullough III for creating the American Exchange Project in order to increase dialogue among high school
students from different geographical and ideological areas of the
United States (“A fellowship of youth, despite red-blue divide,”
Page A1, July 18). As an eighth-grade civics teacher in the public
schools, I was regularly disheartened this past school year as divisive current events seemed to dominate the headlines. My students, indeed young people everywhere, deserve to grow up in a
more understanding, open-minded America than the one that
currently exists.
The American Exchange Project seems to be successfully
breaking down barriers and helping to identify similarities
among teenagers, and I’m glad the program is expanding. The
more ordinary citizens can listen to and understand diverse
viewpoints as well as see each other as fellow humans, the better
chance we have to lessen the country’s ingrained partisanship.
The project’s participants are showing the leadership potential
of teenagers and setting an example that many adults could follow.

As climate crisis reveals, we’re lousy
at dealing with slow-onset emergencies
Re “Our debt to places that are sinking” (Ideas, July 18): Thank
you for this article and for raising the concept of “slow-onset
emergency.” Tyler J. Kelley’s article details how government financial help for Black and Indigenous people appears after disasters such as hurricanes and floods instead of solving problems before they become emergencies; however, the fact that we
are in a climate crisis at all speaks volumes to how governments,
nations, and people process slow-onset emergencies. Simply
put, we don’t. If we did, we would not be seeing acres of land
disappearing.
Why is this? Is it that we don’t like data? Or do we prefer to
ignore that which is inconvenient? Is this a human nature problem? And is it fatal?

A once-devoted customer rockets away from Amazon
By Renée Graham

W

hen Jeff Bezos spoke to the media after his
very short, very expensive space-adjacent
joyride Tuesday, I suddenly realized that Amazon’s curved-arrow logo isn’t a smile. It’s a
smirk.
“I want to thank every Amazon employee and every Amazon
customer because you guys paid for all of this,” said the company’s founder, also known as the world’s richest person and a prolific tax evader. That’s when I knew it was finally time to leave
one of the most toxic relationships of my life.
So long, Amazon.
I’ve been embedded in the Amazon ecosystem since the company dubbed itself “Earth’s biggest bookstore.” My first purchase
was “The Films of Akira Kurosawa,” by Donald Richie. I only
know this because Amazon keeps track of such things, the better to curate my tastes and convince me to buy more stuff I don’t
need.
Once Amazon expanded into selling everything (as we
should have known it would), the next 20 years became a blur of
camera accessories, pens, notebooks, printer cartridges, picture
frames, baseball display cases, computer keyboards, toys, small
appliances, Kindles, cables, hard drives, and more DVDs, CDs,
and books than I can possibly count. I could have purchased any
of those items locally, yet with a few keystrokes or an app, all
were dropped right on my doorstep. Laziness and overconsumption in one neat package.
Meanwhile, beloved independent bookstores and record
shops closed. Streets became clogged with Amazon delivery
vans. The company’s massive carbon footprint metastasized. In
2018, Amazon emitted 44.4 million metric tons of carbon dioxide, almost as much as Switzerland did. With such a ruinous impact on this planet, no wonder Bezos is so eager to leave it.
Every alarming headline brought new concerns. In 2009,
Amazon deleted from customers’ Kindles some editions of

JOE RAEDLE/GETTY IMAGE

Jeff Bezos laughs as he speaks about his flight into space
on Blue Origin’s New Shepard during a press conference
in Van Horn, Texas.

George Orwell’s “1984,” underscoring the sketchy nature of
ownership in the digital age. When Amazon started same-day
deliveries in 2016, the company was accused of limiting service
in predominantly Black neighborhoods, including Roxbury.
Worst of all is the company’s shabby treatment of many of its
nearly 1.3 million employees. Amazon first denied, then admitted, that some of its drivers urinate in bottles in their vans because strict delivery schedules give them no time to use restrooms. According to various reports, turnover is high, working
conditions are dangerous, hours are long, and Amazon officials
target employees who get vocal about unionizing.
With Bezos’s smirking “thank you,” I’ve had enough. His
comment not only lacked self-awareness but landed with a

piercing cruelty that said all one needs to know about the man
and how he runs his business. Predictably, he received a muchdeserved dragging on social media.
“Amazon workers don’t need Bezos to thank them,” tweeted
Robert Reich, former Clinton administration labor secretary
and now a University of California, Berkeley, public policy professor. “They need him to stop union busting — and pay them
what they deserve.”
Perhaps Bezos should have thanked the IRS and those byzantine tax laws favorable to the wealthy that allow him and Amazon, now worth $1.7 trillion, to get away with paying little or
nothing in taxes.
“It’s time for Jeff Bezos to take care of business right here on
Earth and pay his fair share in taxes,” tweeted Senator Elizabeth
Warren of Massachusetts. As many businesses shut down for
months last year, more customers turned to Amazon, guaranteeing billions for the company during the COVID-19 pandemic.
I know that this overdue breakup won’t be easy. Disconnecting from Amazon isn’t like staying away from a particular store
because of a bad experience. I’m an avid reader with a greater
love of books than I have space in which to keep them, and my
Kindle is rarely far from reach. Does leaving Amazon also mean
canceling my Washington Post subscription and imploring my
partner to stop shopping at Whole Foods? And what else in my
life does Bezos control that I’m not even aware of?
Still, this much I do know: Shopping on Amazon has
always been too easy and cheap. Yet I can no longer morally
afford the impossibly high price paid by its employees, small
businesses, communities, and our ever-fragile environment.
No amount of same-day deliveries can justify aiding and abetting a smirking robber baron and aspiring colonizer who has
set his rapacious sights — and our money — on his empty
mega-billionaire hobbies.

No ministry of culture,
please, we’re American
B y J e f f Ja c o b y

O

n Aug. 18, 1787, at the constitutional
convention in Philadelphia, Charles
Pinckney of South Carolina proposed
nearly a dozen powers with which he
thought the new federal government
should be invested. Among them: the authority “to establish seminaries for the promotion of literature and
the arts and sciences.”
Pinckney’s list was referred to the Committee on Detail, and some of his suggestions, such as federal responsibility for patents and copyright, were incorporated into the Constitution. But his idea of empowering
Congress to promote the arts was ignored.
The delegates were learned, cosmopolitan men who
understood the value of literature, music, and art. They
knew that in the Old World it was normal for artists to
be sustained by royal benefaction. Indeed, King George
III was an avid cultural patron whose largesse had
made possible the founding of the Royal Academy of
Arts. But the men in Philadelphia intended the government they were fashioning to steer clear of such involvement. Consequently, nothing in the Constitution
so much as hints that overseeing art and culture is a job
for the federal government.
For most of American history, that wall of separation
between art and state was intact. But pressure to get
the national government into the business of fostering
the arts intensified in the 20th century, especially after
Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Works Progress Administration
put 45,000 painters, writers, actors, and musicians on
the federal payroll as a temporary relief measure during
the Depression. In the 1960s, the National Endowment
for the Arts was created to underwrite excellence in the
arts. Though the NEA’s definition of excellence has frequently proved controversial, it has become a permanent feature of the federal landscape, with a current
budget of $167.5 million.
But for some activists and critics, a mere federal

agency, even one with tens of millions of dollars to hand
out, isn’t enough. Every few years there are exhortations to establish a full-fledged federal Department of
Arts and Culture, with a Cabinet-level secretary and a
budget to match. Early in 2009, composer-producer
Quincy Jones told interviewers he intended to approach
the newly inaugurated President Obama “to beg for a
secretary of arts.” Jazz musician Herbie Hancock said
he would fill the post if it were created.
Now the Biden administration is being urged to elevate art and culture to Cabinet status.
Washington Post theater critic Peter Marks, calling
for “a Dr. Fauci for the arts,” contends that the United
States should emulate the many countries that have
ministries of culture, in order to “confirm what is unarguably true: that the arts are essential.” It’s a curious
claim — the purpose of Cabinet departments is not to
confirm truths, unarguable or otherwise, but to coordinate and regulate crucial functions of the national government. “One could wish,” Marks writes, that “the
Biden administration would add a portfolio to make the
US government as culturally savvy as Lebanon’s and
Croatia’s.” Does anyone really imagine that that’s what
the federal government is missing — cultural awareness
on the Lebanese and Croatian model?
Many of those insisting that America needs a department of arts and culture make an economic argument.
According to the NEA, the creative and performing arts
generate $877 billion in direct and indirect economic
activity and account for 4.5 percent of the nation’s gross
domestic product. With so significant an economic
footprint, the argument goes, it is vital to elevate the
arts to Cabinet rank. But by that reasoning, the fashion
and apparel industry also needs a Cabinet department
dedicated to its interests. After all, it too has a vast
workforce and adds hundreds of billions of dollars to
GDP each year.
The importance of culture and the arts — painting,
music, sculpture, literature, museums, theater — goes
far beyond dollars and cents. At their best, they touch

hearts, change lives, and broaden minds. They deepen
civilization. They offer a glimpse of transcendence.
They enable us to infuse enduring meaning into our
mundane and all-too-short existence.
Of course the same is true of religion, which has had
an extraordinary, far-reaching, and ongoing impact on
American life. Yet no one is urging Congress or the
Biden administration to put a department of religion in
the Cabinet. Advocates aren’t clamoring for America to
imitate the dozens of nations that have ministries of religious affairs. Everyone understands that government,
at least in this country, should play no role in overseeing, coordinating, or promoting religion. That isn’t because religion isn’t important. It’s because it is far too
important to be entangled with government.
So is art.
Bad things can happen when art and culture must
answer to the government. “Sure, it would be fine to
have a Ministry of the Fine Arts in this country,”
growled the early 20th-century American painter John
Sloan. “Then we’d know where the enemy is.”
In the nearly two and a half centuries since the delegates in Philadelphia rejected Pinckney’s proposal,
American art and culture have flourished. Mark Twain’s
novels, Miles Davis’s jazz, Walt Whitman’s poetry, Lorraine Hansberry’s plays, Edward Hopper’s paintings,
George Ballanchine’s ballet, Patti Smith’s rock — Americans have been producing world-transforming art for
generations without requiring Washington’s guidance
or money or directives. Whatever might be wrong with
arts and culture today, more government won’t fix it.
The framers of the Constitution had the right idea when
they insisted on keeping art and state separate. A ministry of culture may work in other countries, but it has no
place in America.

Sometimes, a little fishing clears the mind
By Durin Chappe

I

t’s early evening when I arrive at the ferry dock
and the half tide is heading toward low, which
makes it a not particularly promising time for
catching mackerel. Morning is better. But there
are squid to be had in the evening hours, at any
tide, so there is at least the prospect of other quarry.
Earlier in the day, I talked myself into a corner by
promising my daughter a pet that I haven’t felt she deserves. She hasn’t worked on picking up after herself
and cannot possibly be ready for a rabbit. But I also
know that I am not always mindful of my own duties.
Short of breaking my promise, though, there doesn’t
appear to be a way out of this. So I decide to get out of
Dodge.
Sometimes, a little fishing clears the mind.
Mackerel has been plentiful in this Maine harbor
for the seven years I’ve been coming here, but in the
last two years they’ve been just shy of casting distance,
maybe on account of the pogies — menhaden —
becoming predominant. Fortunately, fishing is not exclusively catching, though I am beginning to think this
is a saying favored by those who catch rather less than
others.
On this night, sure enough, there are noisy surface
eruptions that are the menhaden’s signature, easily distinguishable from the more discrete boil of the mackerel. It is a pity about pogies being filter feeders and not
susceptible to a lure or particularly edible. By contrast,
and even as they’ve disappeared from the local seafood

counter and fine dining tables, there remain few fish
more divine than a grilled mackerel.
A man and his young grandson from Texas are fishing on the lower dock. I am charmed by the flurry of
questions from the boy, for they remind me that I too
should come here full of wonder. It isn’t always how I
arrive, but I try to leave that way.
By nightfall, another local man has shown up,
armed with 16 ounces of Natty Daddy and a pair of
rods kitted out for striped bass. I mark him as a regular
and he, too, recognizes me, from my signature Greek
fisherman’s cap. He has been catching legal-size stripers regularly, but with no bait, he has to first catch
something smaller — squid, mackerel, or even a harbor
pollock will do.
He is a lobsterman, wormer, clammer, tuna fisherman, and devoted sports fisherman who works out of
the neighboring harbor on a boat fishing largely in federal waters. He is also quite obviously a drinker and a
recent divorce has not helped matters. It is a weeknight
and he’s got work tomorrow, but he’s lamenting his
dwindling supply of beer.
He also happens to be very good company, and we
talk variously of ways to can mackerel, our favorite variety of sardines, and the ridiculously high boat price
for lobster. He is making five or six grand a week at a
time of year when the “bugs” don’t typically start showing up in any kind of numbers.
A man who makes a living on the Down East littoral
can tell you the day’s price for clams and bloodworms.
He can tell you that a spawner is an inferior worm to

bait a hook with. He knows that sharks are everywhere.
Cod too are plentiful, though in answer to my question,
he tells me he does not care for the taste of them. I cannot entirely agree — my decade spent targeting the species in the Bering Sea has prejudiced me, but I understand the local bias toward haddock.
With neither squid nor mackerel forthcoming and
now no alcohol, the situation is dire. Since I am not
catching anything, either, I agree to accompany him on
a walk up the street in search of a drink.
In the company of younger men, I am sometimes
led to think of my brother, gone nearly a quarter century. As my fishing mate relates his story of loss and addiction, I feel a fraternal urge to hug and hold him, as I
would have liked to do to my brother a final time.
He scores a few cans of beer from a neighbor and we
return to the pier. It is fully low tide now. In a foot of
water, the darting brown bodies of squid are showing
up clearly against the sandy bottom. With beer and bait
now on hand, my friend is finally fishing in earnest for
stripers.
My wife and child are sleeping by the time I return.
I’m empty-handed, but there is a pressed-up sensation,
a feeling of containing multitudes. Though I’m no closer to deciding whether or not to spring for a pet rabbit,
I’ve managed to square myself away. Perhaps a decision
can be made in the morning.
The tide for me has turned.

CULTURAL COMEBACK
At last, it’s showtime for live music, theater, and more
MUSIC

A concert scene
that suddenly
feels like summer
By Marc Hirsh
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

Boston is and has long been a great live music town, so much so that “This Is Spınal Tap”
includes a joke specifically calling out its fertile
music scene. Which is one reason the concert
drought that followed the lockdown that began 16 months ago has been so agonizing: for
performers, for venues, for support staff, for
audiences. What was once a mighty flood
trickled to a dry riverbed.
But with Massachusetts vaccination numbers among the highest in the nation and
statewide restrictions lifted after more than a
year, concerts are back at long last. True, there
were a few live performances delivered under
safe (and some under not-so-safe) conditions
before now, but with the city reopening, the
schedule isn’t simply some scattered one-offs
but something genuinely resembling a full
summer concert season, including one very
busy week at Fenway Park in early August featuring five shows over six nights.

Ty Burr

Hello, he must be going
It’s time to say both
goodbye and hello.
Nineteen years and
one month ago —
June 21, 2002, to
be precise — my
first movie review
ran in The Boston
Globe. It was for
Steven Spielberg’s “Minority Report,”
starring Tom Cruise; I liked the film
a lot but deemed it “a career optimist’s approximation of film noir.”
Meaning: Spielberg can do a lot of

things, but he can’t really do dark.
Over the next two decades, I
wrote 3,000 more movie reviews,
give or take, and 314 Sunday columns, of which this is the last. In
that time, everything has changed:
popular culture and the broader culture surrounding it, the technology
that brings us our entertainments,
and the newspapers and magazines
that cover them. I’ve changed, too.
And so it’s time to move on.
I’m leaving the Globe to start a
Substack newsletter called “Ty Burr’s

Watch List” (more on that below), a
decision prompted in part by an entertainment landscape that is vastly
different than the one to which I
came. When Wesley Morris and I arrived at the Globe in 2002, replacing
the retiring Jay Carr, everyone was
still struggling to get their minds
around 9/11; the notion of a Donald
Trump presidency would have
seemed a ludicrous joke. More to the
point, people still consumed movies
in a fashion that had been in place
since the introduction of VHS and

pay cable: first in a theater and then
on TV via HBO or DVD. And the theatrical premiere was what counted.
That system has broken down, atomized by the rise of streaming platforms and accelerated by pandemic.
Audiences are returning to movie
theaters once more, but slowly, and
it may never be what it was. At the
same time, we’ve become used to, if
not addicted to, the films and TV
shows streaming from our devices.

Cultural Comeback { Clubs
By Noah Schaffer

Clubgoers danced upstairs at
Oceanside Events Center. Below

performed in the main dance hall;
Alessandra Bernardin sang along.

GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

Close to midnight on a recent Saturday, some tired commuters exiting the
Wonderland T station were visibly startled to see a small line of clubgoers getting ready to start their evening. The
Congas Room of the Oceanside Events
Center in Revere was filling up with a
young, mostly Central American crowd
in tight clothes and partying to the electro beats of a reggaeton soundtrack provided by DJ Archy. The music switched
to Dominican bachata, and the dancers
quickly coupled up.
Downstairs, in Oceanside’s larger
ballroom, the crowd was older and
more formally dressed, and the tempo
was much slower, as two prominent
Haitian compas bands, dISIP and
Zenglen, took to the stage.
Before COVID-19, such a night was
common at Oceanside, which was previously known as Club Lido, and, for
much of the last century, the Wonderland Ballroom. Over the years the threeroom club has featured everything from
wrestling matches to big bands. In more
recent years Oceanside has been the
Boston home to touring artists from the
Caribbean and Latin America — “music
from anywhere south of Miami, you’ll
find it here,” says operations manager
Taras Hrabec.
When the state lifted pandemic restrictions at the end of May, Oceanside
was a vaccine site that at its peak saw
hundreds of shots administered daily.
Now it’s roaring back to life as a live music venue, with shows slated this summer by the likes of Iranian violinist Bijan Mortazavi (July 31), compas from
Klass and Oswald (Aug. 7), a pairing of
the Mexican-American band Montéz de
Durango and the Colombian cumbia act
Sonora Dinamita (Aug. 13), and Venezuelan salsero Oscar D’León (Sept. 19).
A Colombian double bill of Fonseca and
Andrés Cepeda play the 1,100-capacity
downstairs ballroom Aug. 20, the night
after the singers appear at the FTX Arena, the home of the Miami Heat.
Oceanside isn’t the only venue for international music that is reopening its
doors. The William E. Reed Auditorium
in Dorchester has a Caribbean Carnival
lineup that includes Jamaica’s Teejay
Aug. 21 and St. Vincent soca star Skinny Fabulous Aug. 28. Brazilian duos
Jorge e Mateus and Zé Neto e Cristiano
are slated to play at Campanelli Stadium in Brockton Sept. 5.
“Since we’ve reopened the nights
have been very successful — Latinos are
itching to come back and dance to
bachata,” Oceanside booking manager
Mauricio Rocha says with a laugh. Both
Rocha and Haitian music promoter

The Oceanside in Revere
pulses back to life with all
the sounds from ‘south of Miami’

Picard Thelasco say the club became the
preferred choice for the independent
Latin and Caribbean promoters who
rent the hall because most of the other
rooms its size are booked by entertainment behemoths LiveNation and AEG,
which are unlikely to be interested in
the kinds of acts that have to be micromarketed to specific immigrant communities.

Thelasco has produced events at
Royale, which like Oceanside is owned
by Boston club magnate Lou Delpidio.
“But the parking is much easier at
Oceanside than it is in downtown Boston,” Thelasco says. “Even though about
65 percent of the Haitian community in
Boston lives south — from Dorchester
to Brockton — they’ll drive to Revere.”
Rocha promoted Oceanside shows

by Bad Bunny and Nicky Jam before
they became arena acts. He sometimes
encounters Latin music stars who are
reluctant to play a suburban venue.
“They say BU kids won’t cross the Tobin
Bridge. We have acts that cater to hardworking, blue-collar Latinos. But now
we’re also expanding into acts with
more of a middle-class following,” he
says.

Thelasco uses social media and announcements in WhatsApp groups to
spread the word about his shows. But
he also makes sure that Haitian beauty
salons, barber shops, and markets have
posters and tickets.
Mexican bands are a mainstay at
Oceanside, even though “the Mexican
audience is very small,” says Rocha.
“The number one consumer today of
tickets is the Salvadoran community,
and they buy Mexican music and reggaeton. When I’m deciding on an act, I
ask my Salvadoran friends if they like
it.”
On Feb. 23, 2020, Oceanside was
packed for the annual appearance by
the famed Mexican-American band Los
Tigres del Norte. A few weeks later, its
doors were closed due to the pandemic.
One challenge that remains is getting bands into the country while
COVID still rages around the world.
Brazilian music, long a staple of Oceanside, made its return last month with
samba singer Xanddy. But the Orlando
resident appeared without his longtime
Brazil-based bandmates Harmonia do
Samba.
Thelasco says many of the top compas bands are now based in Florida or
New York, so they can easily come to
Boston. Those based in Haiti are still
waiting on visas.
Some are still not ready to dance the
night away in a crowded indoor venue.
Thelasco, whose Classic 1804 Entertainment outfit is named for the year
Haiti won its independence, noticed his
recent Oceanside show with the band
Vayb did better than the Zenglen/dISIP
show. “Zenglen and dISIP get more of
an older crowd. Instead of 1,000 people
I only had 600 or 700, because people in
that age bracket are more concerned
about coming out. Vayb draw younger
people who are more open to coming
out right now.”
As she entered the Xanddy event,
concertgoer Natalie Prada said in Portuguese that she was coming not because
of the headliner, “but to enjoy the people and enjoy the night.” Xanddy, whose
show included confetti blasts and Carnival dancers, didn’t spend a lot of time
referencing the ongoing pandemic in
Brazil, which has left him only able to
perform abroad.
“There’s a lot of suffering right now,”
he said, “but tonight we are here to celebrate.”

Contessa takes it from the top
Where to: Contessa, the Italian restaurant
atop luxury hotel The Newbury Boston.

Boston cream pie, an Instagrammable chocolate-hazelnut cake covered in rosettes and
curls, and more.

Why: You appreciate rooftop views; glam oldschool/new-school decor; pasta, pizza, and
bistecca alla fiorentina for two; and being
amid the thrum of one of the city’s new hot
spots.
The backstory: The Newbury — formerly the
Taj Boston, and before that the Ritz-Carlton —
opened anew this year with a restaurant to
match. Contessa is the first Boston project for
New York-based Major Food Group, behind
the likes of Carbone, Dirty French, and
Sadelle’s, in locations including Las Vegas, Miami, Hong Kong, and Tel Aviv. The restaurant
group also plans to open Parm in the Burlington Mall later this year.
What to eat: Start with antipasti such as
squash carpaccio, meatballs, octopus agrodolce, and tonnato crudo, a briny dish of thinsliced raw fish over artichoke hearts with anchovy, capers, and celery leaves. There are a
half-dozen or so pasta dishes, from tortellini

What to drink: The bar, with a marbled top
that looks like salami and cognac-shaded
lamps on brass poles, requires a cocktail — a
summery Aperol spritz goosed with strawberry and rhubarb, a Negroni, a Madrina, made
with grappa and amaretto. With dinner, delve

REOPENINGS: The Financial District’s Milk Street Café (50
Milk St.) will reopen on Monday, Aug. 16, welcoming customers and catering clients after a long hiatus. It’s the
40th year in business for the kosher shop. Café owner
Marc Epstein bristled in 2016 when Christopher Kimball’s
Milk Street opened down the block, and he filed a trademark suit in federal court. Happily, that sour note seems to
be behind both businesses.
GLUTTONY: Not sure what to serve at your summertime
barbecue? North End sandwich shop Pauli’s (65 Salem St.)

Landmarks Orchestra
to strike up summer

When Boston Landmarks
Orchestra music director Christopher Wilkins remembers
summer 2020, his first thought
is the sadness: the loss of livelihood for the orchestra’s musicians, the disconnection from
its audience, the cloud of greater tragedy hanging over it all.
Then he remembers the scramble to film concerts and get
them online, with string players masked and winds cocooned in plexiglass cages. He
remembers the struggle to replicate Landmarks’ hometown
roots for the unmoored, hypersaturated landscape of virtual
concerts.
Until recently, he wasn’ t
sure if he would lead the or-

chestra through another virtual
or hybrid season this summer.
“We were getting kind of excited about the possibilities, but it
sure isn’t what we [usually] do,”
he said in a recent phone interview.
But the tide turned quickly,
starting with the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention’s mid-May announcement
that vaccinated people no longer needed masks in most settings. The orchestra jumped in-

Landmarks Orchestra is
returning to the Hatch
Shell with a six-week
season of free concerts

to action to prepare for live
concerts with live audiences.
But Landmarks leadership still
wasn’t sure whether their favorite summer venue, the DCR
Hatch Shell, would be available, so tentative plans were
made for concerts in various
other indoor and outdoor settings. In early June, official
word arrived from state governm e n t t h a t t h e Ha t c h S h e l l
would be available. From there,
it was full steam ahead for the
orchestra, which announced a
six-week Esplanade season earlier this month.
Not all is as it was, or as
Landmarks might like it to be
in the future. Unlike past summers, the ensemble isn’t doing

camps and youth programs
since vaccines aren’t yet available to those under age 12. But
on the whole, it’s a joyful homecoming, not a stopgap.
The first concert, on Aug. 4
pairs Beethoven’s Symphony
No. 5 with music by Gershwin,
Massenet, Florence Price, William Grant Still, James P. Johnson, and Nkeiru Okoye. Following weeks include “Music and
Healing,” a concert exploring
the connection of music and
dance through works by Ellington, Rachmaninoff, ColeridgeTaylor, and more (Aug. 11); a
symphonic winds concert (Aug.
25); and an all-American season finale featuring music by
Gershwin, Copland, Still,
George Chadwick, Priscilla Alden Beach, and the world premiere of Francine Trester’s “A
Walk in Her Shoes” (Sept. 1).
All concerts are free.
Inclusion of music by composers of color was vital in
planning the season, Wilkins
said. Music by women also appears on many programs. “Access and inclusion is always

about, and a greatly deepened
commitment to those priorities
is what we’ve come out [of the
pandemic] with.”
Same goes for partnerships
with local organizations including the Longwood Symphony
Orchestra and Mercury Orchestra (taking the stage for an Aug.
18 concert) and a host of dance
companies for the “Music and
Healing” program, including
Boston Ballet II, Peter DiMuro/
Public Displays of Motion, and
first-time Landmarks partner
Urbanity Dance.
For its performance to Ar-

S u n d a y

turo Márquez’s “Danzon No. 2,”
Urbanity plans to pull in dancers of all ages, including students from its summer intensive and participants in its
“Dance with Parkinson’s” program, said founder and director Betsi Graves. “I’ve always
enjoyed [Landmarks Orchestra’s] dance night,” she said.
“It’s definitely a dream to be
able to choreograph and perform something myself.”
At every level, from professional to pure hobbyist, these
dancers are taking tentative
first steps back to studio and
stage. “For this performance
with Landmarks, I’m really adjusting to meet where each
dancer is at,” Graves said of the
choreography.
Because the space everyone
had for dancing varied so widely over the past year, everyone
is uniquely reacclimating to
movement. “There won’t be a
whole lot of unison,” Graves explained. “There will be more
moments like: Oh, this is how
your body is working, so let’s
bring that individuality and
find ways to make that collectively interesting.”
The quick shift back to unmasked life left her feeling dizzy, Graves continued. “One day
we’re all socially distant and
masked, then the next day we
were totally back to normal. I
think with dance, especially because we serve a variety of ages,
it will be a slow growth.”
Slow or not, returning to
live performance is giving artists new spark. “ We’ve been
staring at each other on screens
f o r s o l o n g ,” s u m m e d u p
Wilkins. “Just to hug and be together initially, and then that
first sound of live music coming
together — it’s amazing.”

Cultural Comeback { Museums

Mass MoCA is ready and roomy for in-person gatherings
MASS MoCA
1040 Mass MoCA Way, North
Adams. Full event calendar at
www.massmoca.org

By Kyung Mi Lee
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

It rained in North Adams
last weekend, and the highly
anticipated Jeff Tweedy concert
at Massachusetts Museum of
Contemporary Art was quickly
moved indoors to the Hunter
Center.
Organizers added a Sunday
matinee in addition to the original Saturday night date to accommodate all ticket holders in
a safer, socially distanced manner. The Hunter Center still
looked packed with concertgoers clutching icy beverages,
scarcely a mask in sight. When
the Wilco frontman started
singing “Just a Friend” in tribute to rapper Biz Markie, who
died last Friday, the crowd
started singing along with unmuffled glee.
After a year and a half of closures and readjustments, the
Tweedy concert was just one of
many in-person live events returning to Mass MoCA this
summer. Next up is the annual
marathon by contemporary
classical group Bang on a Can
(July 30-31), a rain-or-shine
date with hip-hop band The
Roots (Aug. 22), and the return
of the popular FreshGrass bluegrass and traditional music festival (Sept. 24-26).
Gatherings like these have
been central to the Mass MoCA
formula since its founding in
1999. That meant a big hit to
“earned revenue” — including
ticket sales, concessions, and
rental fees — when the museum
first closed to the public in
March 2020. Less than a month
later, Mass MoCA laid off 120 of
its 165 employees and reduced
the pay of remaining workers
up to 30 percent. In a statement
at the time, founding director
Joseph Thompson wrote: “The
COVID-19 contagion strikes at
the very heart of our mission,
which is to gather together
large numbers of people
around acts of creativity.”

Museumgoers lined up for Community Day last weekend at Mass MoCA. Below: Other visitors took in Glenn Kaino’s “In the
Light of a Shadow” (left); and worked on art-making activities in the Kidspace gallery.

Now leadership is working
to restore the museum’s income
stream and return to full-capaci ty o p e r a t i o n s , a l b e i t w i t h
changes for the COVID era.
“Our plan for this summer is by
intention less robust than pre-

pandemic summers,” according
t o i n t e r i m d i r e c t o r Tr a c y
Moore, who stepped in when
Thompson retired last fall.
“From a budget standpoint, we
anticipated that and are tracking our gathering numbers.”

So far, the reopening strategy seems to be working and
even exceeding targets. Museum attendance in June 2021 of
13,120 people surpassed that of
June 2019 by 24 percent, and
ticket sales for September ’s

FreshGrass festival are higher
this year than at this time in
2019. A total of 1,834 people attended the July 17 and 18 concerts by Jeff Tweedy, with the
museum even selling a small
number of walk-up tickets to

the Sunday matinee.
“I think there’s pent-up energy and interest in the arts,”
Moore continued in a phone interview. “There’s a readiness to
return to gathering and a longoverdue quenching of an appetite.”
Mass MoCA reopened on July 11, 2020 and has been slowly
expanding in-person events ever since. An early pandemic offering was “Auditor y Af ter
Hours,” launched in November,
a series that invites museumgoers to experience gallery-specific music curated by guests including jazz artist Jason Moran.
Visitors were asked to bring
their own devices and headphones. Everyone had to wear
masks, stand in line at a distance, and have their e-tickets
ready to scan.
When I visited the museum
last Saturday, I immediately
saw remnants of this ultra-cautious past in the white squares
(marked for social distancing)
spray-painted across the concrete floor of Courtyard D. It
had been 17 months since my
last art museum visit. I arrived
wearing a mask but quickly
ditched it after noticing the
bare faces of staff and other
adult guests. Sure, I continued
to see “Masks Welcome” signs
posted throughout the galleries, and face coverings are recommended for indoor events. I
still kept mine wrapped loosely
around the wrist.
This was the day Mass MoCA hosted its annual Community Day, a family-friendly affair
normally held in January with
free admission for all. This year,
free entry was only offered to
Berkshire County residents. In
years past, the event drew
around 3,000 people, according
to education director and Kidspace curator Laura Thompson. But only 1,632 people arrived for the July 2021 iteration.
As I walked around, I spotted in Courtyard C the launch
of Wes Bruce’s “The Drifting
Studio,” an interactive sculpture on wheels that will travel
to schools, parks, and social
service agencies to offer artmaking opportunities for families. Just then, Bruce was leading a few young visitors
through a project that turns
natural materials into stamps.
“I’m of the mind-set that
through trying cultural moments you have to think with
your hands,” Bruce remarked in
between imprints.
In the indoor Kidspace gallery, Wendy Red Star’s “Apsáalooke: Children of the LargeBeaked Bird” exhibition
prompted museumgoers to interpret and draw responses to
words from the Apsáalooke
(Crow) language. I found four
families, mostly wearing
masks, sitting at separate red
tables while quietly making cellophane portraits.
Given the expanse of the
museum’s 16-acre campus and
250,000 square feet of gallery
space, I couldn’t see everything
on my wish list. I walked
through Glenn Kaino’s “In the
Light of a Shadow” installation.
I took pictures in front of Jenny
Holzer’s colorful “Inflammatory Walls.”
I also noticed how more exhibits are installed outdoors or
in larger spaces these days, like
Taryn Simon’s sculpture “The
Pipes,” Martin Puryear’s “Big
Bling” colossus at the museum’s
southern perimeter, and James
Turrell’s “C.A.V.U.,” the artist’s
largest freestanding circular
Skyspace yet. These installations suggest a long-term
change to the museum experience, as the pandemic marks a
shift toward social distancing.
Lucky for Mass MoCA, it has
the largest footprint of any contemporary art museum in the
US. And all that roominess will
come in handy for future events
and in-person experiences.
“We’re ready to have people
back,” Moore said in summary.
“And we’re able to do so in a
spacious way.”

Boston Ballet’s Dance in VR Series
breaks the wall between viewer and performer
By Karen Campbell
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

For an audience member in a proscenium theater, watching ballet unfold
onstage is a big picture experience. As
you sit quietly in the dark, you can shift
your vision side to side, up and down,
but the perspective stays basically the
same, and there’s a definite sense of remove between viewer and performer.
With its new virtual reality project,
Dance in VR Series on Facebook, Boston Ballet explodes the 4th wall, offering viewers at home a way to step into
the middle of all the action. Dancers
seem to jeté over your shoulder, and you
can almost feel the breeze from a flurry
of pirouettes that unfurl as if just inches
away. It’s an intimate, visceral, immersive, and interactive experience. And
since the company won’t be performing
live at the Opera House until “The Nutcracker,” it may be the next best thing to
sitting in the audience this summer.
“You can experience performance at
your house as if you’re sitting in the
middle of the [performance space], seeing everything from within,” says Ernesto Galan, Boston Ballet’s videographer for the past 12 years. “It’s like being transported to another world.”
For the new series, the company

commissioned three works designed
specifically for VR – Ken Ossola’s “Zoom
In,” adapted from his work of the same
name for the recent “Process & Progress” program, a newly tweaked version
of Helen Pickett’s acclaimed “Petal,” and
a new work by company dancer My’Kal
Stromile, “On (my) line, In (my) mind,”
filmed in December in a large industrial
warehouse in New Bedford. The three
pieces are choreographed to be viewed
through a high-end Oculus headset, but
even some gaming headsets can give
you a glimpse into this new way of looking at dance. (If your only option is your
tablet or smartphone, your best bet is to
sit on a swivel chair in a darkened
room. You change perspective by moving your device.)
Virtual and augmented reality in
dance have been around for awhile, but
Boston Ballet believes it’s the first major
company to delve so deeply into the
technologies with ballet. The project
builds on inroads made over the past
year during the company’s first ever virtual season, which not only expanded
outreach to audiences but strengthened
understanding of technology.
The ballet’s artistic director Mikko
Nissinen says it is part of being “a living
theater” for contemporary audiences. “I

didn’t want to be a museum or church,
but part of today’s society moving forward,” he explains. “We explored this
technology five or six years ago, but the
limitations of viewership were so narrow I thought there was no point jumping on the bandwagon. Now that technology has grown by leaps and bounds,
it’s opened so many possibilities. In the
future, it could be almost a new art form
for people to experience dance, music,
theater. This is just the beginning.”
It’s not a simple or inexpensive process. The dances are filmed with a
globe-like contraption embedded with
six different cameras placed in the center of the space to capture a 360-degree
surround. Footage from each camera
then gets “stitched” into a seamless flow
that the viewer controls. Though each
dance was filmed in a day, the editing
process for each was an intensive week
of post-production that Galan says
pushed his system to the limit.
However, he says he is excited to be a
part of the company’s exploration of
new vistas for ballet. And he can imagine moving beyond virtual reality into
augmented reality once that technology
is more developed. “In the future, you
could be in the Opera House watching a
performance, put on AR glasses and see

space in a circular manner. Pickett’s
work, however, filled every corner of the
space with simultaneous movement.
For the dancers, that meant treating every phrase like a solo in case someone
chose to look their way, and it was a cardiovascular feat to dance full-out continuously for the piece’s full length every
take — the technology couldn’t be edited for starts and stops.
“Normally in a theater, you could go
offstage and catch your breath,” explained Stromile, who danced in Pickett’s work in addition to choreographing his own piece. “But we had to fill in
all the holes and do it all the way
through at one time. We dancers made
an agreement that if anything happened, we just keep going!”
Stromile thinks embracing new
technology could be a way to bring
more people into the Opera House for
“the real thing in person,” he says, adding he’d like to see the company provide
a range of interactive virtual experiences, including previews and glimpses behind the scenes. “It gives people who
are not your typical avid ballet-goers another way into the ballet world. People
are really interested in getting that inside look. You could get funding to get
some VR goggles and turn the whole
building into an interactive space for
people, who would then go buy tickets
to see the live performance. I think
we’re really on the brink of something
incredible that puts us on the forefront
and definitely makes Boston Ballet a
leader in the field.”
“We like to explore the boundaries
and go over the boundaries,” Nissinen
claims. “When there’s nobody to follow,
you have to lead.”

Comedy

Venues are all smiles after a sooner-than-expected rebound
By Nick A. Zaino III
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

Live, in-person comedy is back. Venues large and small in and around Boston are open and doing brisk business
again after nearly 16 months of uncertainty during lockdown. And their
schedules are filling up.
Local clubs like Laugh Boston, Improv Asylum, and Nick’s Comedy Stop
resumed indoor shows as soon as restrictions were lifted. Giggles in Saugus
has kept its tent up in its parking lot,
giving the club an indoor and outdoor
space. Theaters including the Wilbur,
the Wang, and the Shubert are opening
up while seasonal venues like the Cape
Cod Melody Tent kick off their regular
programming.
Kathe Farris, a stand-up comedian
and director of operations at the Comedy Studio in Somerville, estimates she
performed five in-person shows from
last March to the spring of 2021. Now
she averages two spots a week, not
counting shows she is attending just to
watch. “All of a sudden it’s just ‘Boom,
we’re back,’” she says.
Comedy’s robust return has come
months earlier than many, including
Farris, had expected. “I thought in September we would start seeing some restrictions lift and have like a softer ease
in,” she says. “And even then I didn’t
even think it would be where it is now.”
Farris was initially worried the Comedy Studio wouldn’t be able to book
enough comics to fill its summer residency shows at Vera’s in Somerville,
much less find an audience, but she’s
seen full rooms. “People are looking for
comedy,” she says. “We’ve got full rosters of people. And we’re selling out.”
That kind of success was no sure
thing. In March 2020, comic Roy Wood
Jr. wrote an essay for Vulture about the
potential economic fallout for the standup community as venues closed. Comedian and author Wayne Federman devoted a chapter of his new book, “The

SEAN GOSS

Dan Boulger performed a set onstage at Laugh Boston soon after the Seaport comedy club reopened.
History of Stand-Up: From Mark Twain
to Dave Chappelle,” to comedy in the
COVID era. “Comedy clubs and theaters
were among the first businesses to shut
down and will probably be among the
last to fully reopen,” he wrote. “Humans
inside, laughing out loud, with closepacked seating and low ceilings were
ideal conditions for great stand-up comedy, as well as the transmission of airborne viruses.”
Andrew Mather, talent buyer for The
Wilbur, notes that comedy doesn’t require much more than a microphone
and small crew. That helped The Wilbur
reopen this week for six full-capacity
shows with Tim Dillon. Seth Meyers,
Bill Burr, and a 21-show run from John

Mulaney are coming up at the theater in
the weeks ahead.
Mather cites the region’s high vaccination rates as a reason The Wilbur has
been able to ramp up quickly. “We’re
just lucky in New England and Boston,
because our vaccination rates are good,”
he says. “[For] a touring comedian, it’s
much more appealing to want to come
here than other parts of the country.”
Improv Asylum’s black box theater
in the North End is exactly the kind of
room Federman was worried about. It
can pack 200 audience members in fairly close quarters around a smallish
stage. Initially, the Asylum limited capacity, putting stuffed animals in selected seats to enforce social distancing and

sending the performers out in hazmat
suits to remind the audience, in a humorous way, they still needed to be
careful.
Norm Laviolette, cofounder and
CEO of Improv Asylum and Laugh Boston, was optimistic about the return of
live comedy, anticipating crowds would
be less intimidated by club shows than
theaters. “I thought it would come back
faster than theater and music,” he says,
“just for the simple reason [that] it’s
smaller and I think it’s less scary for
people.”
Laviolette says his clubs feel almost
normal now, which is an especially
hopeful sign considering the summer is
typically sluggish for stand-up shows.

“If anything, it bodes really well for the
fall,” he says.
The local scene suffered some pandemic casualties, most notably the closing of ImprovBoston’s Cambridge location. But other spots, including Hideout
Comedy at the White Bull Tavern near
Faneuil Hall, have come back even
stronger than before. According to lead
producer Katlin McFee, Hideout Comedy was quick to get up and running
when the city began allowing socially
distanced indoor shows. She remembers the audience being asked how they
found the show. “Someone yelled, ‘This
is literally the only thing to do on Thursday in Boston right now,’” she says.
Hideout fills a particular niche,
booking headliners on their way up who
can’t yet fill larger venues. “Maybe
they’re not big enough for Laugh Boston, but there’s no other room in Boston
for those headliners that are still so
great,” says McFee. “They’re on latenight shows all the time, but they’re not
going to be at the big venue.”
Josh Gondelman packed the White
Bull in June when he booked a night of
shows on short notice to rehearse his
set for the taping of a special. Kate Willett, Louis Katz, and Emma Willmann
all have shows upcoming, and Hideout
is still expanding its offerings with specialty nights like The Queer Qomedy
Hour, which used to play at ImprovBoston.
While comedy is thriving more
quickly than many anticipated, there
may still be bumps in the road ahead.
Laviolette says he’s ready for anything
after navigating the past year. Before
the pandemic hit, he had been planning
a complete renovation of Improv Asylum’s front room and was wondering
how he could possibly close for an entire month. “Now you’re like, ‘Yeah, we
gotta shut down for three weeks, no
problem,’” he says. “It does change your
perspective. Maybe everything isn’t
quite as urgent as we think it is.”

ion, formerly Blue Hills Bank
Pavilion, formerly Bank of
America Pavilion, etc., etc.) in
the Seaport, and Xfinity Center
in Mansfield have all gone fullon with packed schedules. Other venues, like the Chevalier in
Medford and Royale in the theater district, seem to be proceeding a bit more gingerly.
And, of course, pour one out for
venues like Great Scott that
didn’t make it to the other side.
But the machinery is moving, and live music has begun
in earnest once more. You can
safely figure that every one of
the following shows — taking
us up to the fall equinox and
representing no more than a
mere fraction of the musical offerings on tap in and around
Boston — is going to be someone’s first time seeing live music in at least a year and a half.
Welcome back to each and every one of you.
There are plenty of big guns
on the concert calendar. And
not just metaphorically, with
jungle-greeters Guns N’ Roses
(Aug. 3, Fenway Park) and rapper-turned-rocker Machine
Gun Kelly (Leader Bank Pavilion, Sept. 15) coming through
town. Then there are superheroes of pop (Maroon 5 at Fenway Park, Sept. 12), folk (Indigo
Girls at the Chevalier, Sept. 18),
country (Zac Brown Band at
Fenway Park, Aug. 8), hip-hop
(Lil Baby at Xfinity Center, Sept.
1), jazz-pop (Michael Bublé at
TD Garden, Aug. 24), jazz-jazz
(Harry Connick Jr. at Leader
Bank Pavilion, Aug. 14), heavy
metal (Megadeth and Lamb of
God at Leader Bank Pavilion,
Sept. 13), and even classical
(John Williams Film Night, Tanglewood, Aug. 13).
The list of rock ’n’ rock-adjacent acts is so packed that you
might not be able to tell that all
of this just started up again.
Proving that punk, emo, and
power pop are all different
sides of the same coin, Green
Day, Fall Out Boy, and Weezer
join forces at Fenway Park
(Aug. 5), while Alanis Morissette, Garbage, and Liz Phair
(Xfinity Center, Sept. 4) provide
a female-perspective corrective
a month later. Bridging that
gap, dad-rock avatars Wilco
and riot-grrl royalty SleaterKinney share the bill at Leader
Bank Pavilion (Aug. 24), while
Brandi Carlile and Mavis Staples (Tanglewood, Aug. 21)
promise the season’s most astonishing concert from a purely
vocal perspective.

Boston synthpop veterans
Freezepop take over the Sinclair for two nights (Aug. 1314), as do Tigers Jaw, who’ll
throw back to the indie-label
’90s (Aug. 27-28). Other indierock standouts include Soccer
Mommy with Squirrel Flower
(Paradise, Aug. 22-23), Japanese Breakfast (Royale, Sept.
9-10), Overcoats (Sinclair,
Sept. 15), and Julien Baker
(House of Blues, Sept. 17). NeoNew Wavers Future Islands
(House of Blues, Sept. 22) and
singer-songwriter Martha
Wainwright (City Winery, Aug.
25) are also on their way, hearts
on their sleeves.
On the hip-hop side of
things, Trippie Redd gets the
chance to perform a hit song
about missing live performance
during the pandemic lockdown
(“Miss The Rage”) at the Xfinity
Center (Sept. 5), as not-so-secret musical polymaths The
Roots move from the television
screen to the live stage (House
of Blues, Aug. 29) even as
drummer and “Summer Of
Soul” director Questlove has his
eyes on the big screen. Also
passing through are rappers

Yung Bleu (Big Night Live,
Sept. 1), Fabolous (Big Night
Live, Sept. 9), and Mr. Worldwide and Ms. Down Under
themselves, Pitbull and Iggy
Azalia (Xfinity Center, Aug. 28).
Quiet-storm chanteuse Such
(City Winery, Aug. 14) and
rock-song interpreter Bettye
LaVette (City Winery, Aug. 6)
bring R&B and soul.
As for country music, how
about award magnets Lady A
(Leader Bank Pavilion, Aug. 15)
and chart king Thomas Rhett
( Xfinity Center, Sept. 18)?
Thoughtful rowdies Brothers
Osborne (Leader Bank Pavilion, July 30) and keen observer
Ashley McBryde (House of
Blues, Aug. 20) point the way
forward, Jason Isbell and the
400 Unit (Boch Center Wang
Theatre, Sept. 18) stretch the
genre, while Brooks & Dunn
(Xfinity Center, Sept. 9) bring
back the glory days of ’90s/’00s
Nashville.
And what summer would be
complete without the classics?
There’s Jimmy Buffett (Xfinity
Center, Aug. 14), of course, and
perennials Billy Joel (Fenway
Park, Aug. 4), New Kids on the
Block with Bell Biv DeVoe (Fenway Park, Aug. 6), and the
deathless Kiss (Xfinity Center,
Aug. 18). The Eagles perform
“Hotel California” in its entirety
(TD Garden, Aug. 27-28) and
the Black Crowes play “Shake
Your Money Maker” (Xfinity
Center, Sept. 15), each with extra hits as bonus tracks. Elsewhere, there are Judy Collins
and Richard Thompson (Tanglewood, Aug. 22) and blues
legend John Mayall (City Winery, Sept. 4). And Sandra Bernhard brings her cabaret act to
City Winery on Sept. 2, because
without music, summer’s nothing.

between $2.5 million and $3
million on upgrades to the
Shubert and Wang, the latter reopening Aug. 6 with comedian
Ali Wong.
“We feel very comfortable
[reopening] is going to be a large
s u c c e s s ,” s a i d S p a u l d i n g .
“There’s a pent-up demand.”
There’s also a lot on the line.
The region’s arts and culture
sector, which contributed an estimated $2 billion annually to
the area economy pre-pandemic,
has been hit harder than most.
Theaters and concert halls were
among the first operations to
close and the last to reopen during the pandemic, devastating a
sector that previously attracted
an estimated 21 million attendees each year while generating
some 30,000 jobs.
The arts in Greater Boston
lost roughly $425 million in revenue over 12 months beginning
in March 2020, affecting 13,000
jobs, according to the Mass Cultural Council.
Getting reopening right isn’t
just critical for arts groups, said
ArtsBoston executive director
Catherine Peterson, it’s vital to
the region’s recovery.
The arts are “a large part not
only of why tourists come here,
but, as importantly, why businesses locate here,” Peterson
said. “People come and want to
work in Greater Boston because
of the incredible quality of life
that comes with the arts and cultural scene.”
There are plenty of bright
spots. An ongoing ArtsBoston
survey of roughly 2,500 regular
attendees recently found that
nearly 100 percent of respondents are vaccinated, and more
than half say they will be ready
to return to indoor venues late
this month and next.

‘We are like a
construction zone.
Air conditioning,
and filters, and
sinks, and toilets.
We are in the
process of all of
the above.’
JOSIAH A. SPAULDING JR.,
Boch Center president and CEO

Still, steep challenges remain: More than 40 percent said
they’d only attend indoor events
with mask requirements, and
nearly a third said they’d only go
to venues that require proof of
vaccination. Perhaps more concerning: The city’s hotel occupancy rate is expected to hover
around 55 percent through the
end of the year, according to the
Pinnacle Advisory Group, a hospitality consulting firm.
To overcome these concerns,
some organizations are planning
to present intermission-less
shows of 90 minutes or so at the
start of their seasons. Some will
continue to offer digital perfor-

mances. All are trying to stay as
flexible as possible, emphasizing
that their current plans and policies are evolving and may
change to reflect updated public
health guidelines.
In the meantime, venue operators have taken a crash course
in healthy buildings, germ transmission, and epidemiology.
Many have relied on the expertise of 9 Foundations, the company founded by Dr. Joseph G.
Allen of Harvard’s T.H. Chan
School of Public Health.
“We spent more time learning and diving into our HVAC
system than I ever expected,”
said Katie Most, Calderwood Pavilion manager for the Huntington Theatre Company. “That was
one of the biggest improvements
we had to make here.”
Like other performing arts
venues, the Calderwood has upgraded its air filtration systems.
Similarly, it’s installing tap-andpay credit card systems to reduce points of contact, and it has
enhanced its mobile ticketing
system. Most said the Calderwood, where the Huntington
will present much of its coming
season, is also rethinking concessions before the opening
night of “Hurricane Diane” on
Aug. 27.
“Where once we might have
turned our noses up at a can of
wine, people might be more interested in that today,” said
Most, who added glasses would
still be available. “It’s a bit more
individualized and something
that isn’t coming out of a bottle
that people could sneeze into.”
At the Citizens Bank Opera
House, where ”Hadestown”
opens Nov. 2, executive director
James Jensen said that in addition to upgrading its air filtration system, the theater is installing portable air cleaners

with “medical grade filters” in
the building’s smaller enclosed
spaces, such as dressing rooms
and bathrooms, which are also
being outfitted with hands-free
fixtures.
“If you are a traditional theatergoer who has not yet got accustomed to digital tickets,
there’s something that you could
practice,” said Jensen, who added he expects merchandise kiosks, usually managed by touring shows, to also use touchless
payment systems.
But perhaps the most noticeable difference will be the theater’s new security screening entry system that replaces the
wands and bag checks of old.
The new touch-free system uses
artificial intelligence to spot suspicious objects while ignoring
everyday items as theatergoers
walk in.
“It’s a pretty big step up from
the old walk-through magnetometers,” said Jensen.
He said the system should be
faster and will reduce physical
contact. “This is not going to be
triggered by somebody’s set of
keys, or the quarters in their
pocket.”
The Boch Center is installing
a similar system at the Wang and
Shubert theaters. It is also refurbishing the elevators at the
Wang to service all floors, the
bathrooms will have hands-free
fixtures, and the lower levels will
boast a suite of new app-enabled
bars to streamline drink orders.
“All of that is electronic,” said
Spaulding. “You can order your
drinks from your home. You can
order it six months in advance,
and when you go, you go to a
particular bar, and your drink is
waiting for you.”
In addition to updating the
theaters’ ventilation systems,
Spaulding said both Boch Center
venues are installing an air purification system that’s said to remove nearly all viruses, including the coronavirus that causes

COVID-19. “It takes out all of the
bad stuff,” he said.
But for all the high-tech solutions that are being enlisted to
control the virus, Boston’s performing arts venues and groups
are trying to stay flexible when it
comes to one of the most lowtech, but effective, tools to prevent disease transmission: the
humble mask.
Those contacted by the Globe
said they were following Centers

Sunday July 25, 2021

for Disease Control and Prevention guidance, which currently
advises that fully vaccinated people need not wear masks indoors. Of course, the spread of
the Delta variant, which recently
prompted officials in Provincetown to issue a new mask advisory, could change that.
“If we’ve learned anything in
the last 15 months, it’s that we
have to be flexible, and we have
to be able to change our proto-

cols and our approach if it’s warranted,” said Evelyn Barnes,
chief financial officer for the
Boston Symphony Orchestra,
whose season opens Sept. 30.
She added that while the symphony was not currently planning to require masks, “if there
are more indications that we
need to change, to have masks,
we will make that change.”

100 percent capacity, Most said
the theater would be in close
contact with audience members
about what to expect during
their visit.
“We really do want to base
our rules on the most common
practices at the time,” she said,
adding the theater plans to email audience members updated
guidelines before each performance and will offer more flexibility with ticket changes. “We

don’t want to pretend like we
know what the end of August is
going to look like.”
Similarly, Spaulding said that
although the Boch Center
doesn’t have a mask policy and
isn’t planning to require proof of
vaccination, that could change.
“We’re going to follow what
the state says, [but] if a show decides that’s the way they want to
go, we’re going to have to do
that,” said Spaulding.
Bucking this trend is ArtsEmerson, which plans to require
masks for both guests and staff
(but not performers on stage)
across all its venues. Executive
director David C. Howse said the
organization, whose first indoor
performance opens Nov. 12 at
the Cutler Majestic Theatre, has
updated its ventilation systems
and is encouraging guests to use
digital or mailed tickets. Theatergoers will not be asked for
proof of vaccination.
“[W]e will continue to monitor the situation and adapt our
protocols as needed,” Howse
said in a statement.
Speaking more generally, a
spokeswoman for the American
Repertory Theater, whose first
indoor show opens in September
at the Loeb Drama Center, said
the Cambridge theater is taking
a wait-and-see approach.
“Specific policies and procedures based on disease dynamics . . . will be confirmed prior to
the start of performances,” public relations director Rebecca
Curtiss said in a statement.
ArtsBoston’s Peterson said
the coming months may be a little rocky.
“It’s not going to be 100 percent perfect for everybody,” she
said, “but it’s going to enable a
lot of people to go back and enjoy the magic of live arts performance.”

Tom McCarthy
on cracking
the case
of ‘Stillwater’
In his latest, the ‘Spotlight’ director takes
a new approach to the investigative thriller

N

By Cassidy Olsen

GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

early a decade ago,
Tom McCarthy began work on a script
based loosely on the
infamous Amanda
Knox case. He decided it didn’t work just yet, and put it
down to make “Spotlight” (2015),
which won two Oscars, for best picture
and McCarthy’s script. With a new perspective on the story, and the opportunity to cast Matt Damon in the lead role,
the Boston College graduate turned his
previous script into the genre-bending
“Stillwater.”
Directed by McCarthy and co-written alongside Marcus Hinchey and
French writers Thomas Bidegain and
Noé Debré, “Stillwater” follows oil
worker Bill Baker (Damon) as he relocates from Oklahoma to Marseille,
where his estranged daughter, Allison
(Abigail Breslin), is in prison for the
murder of her college girlfriend — a
crime he says she didn’t commit. Bill
confronts language barriers, a complex
legal system, and his own demons while
stopping at nothing to have Allison
freed. In theaters July 30, the film also
stars Camille Cottin (“Call My Agent”)
and newcomer Lilou Siauvaud as Bill’s
unlikely French famille.
Reached recently by Zoom, McCarthy discussed the pain and privilege of
editing over a two-year period, casting
the American hero, lessons learned
from “Spotlight,” and more.
Q. You shot most of “Stillwater” in Marseille. How did it feel to return to the
south of France and bring this film to
Cannes, the first major festival since the
pandemic?
A. I had never been to Cannes — it’s a
festival I’ve waited my whole life to
bring a film to. I’ve been deeply influenced by the filmmakers who have repeatedly shown their movies there. To
go in with our soft side up after a year
and a half of working from home, it was
a lot to take in. But to share the movie
with a French-European audience, in
that very iconic theater, to have that reaction … as a filmmaker, you can just

feel it when the audience is connecting
with your film, and I felt it then. We also
went to Marseille and did a screening
there — Matt turned to me at one point
and said, “Is it just me, or is this all super emotional?” Although it’s somewhat
exhausting, I think it’s a good thing
we’re feeling all this at once.
Q. Rather than forge ahead with the edit
in spring of 2020, you decided to delay
for a theatrical release. What was it like
to put the film down and return to the
edit many months later?
A. It was completely unprecedented. A
lot of time studios are [saying] finish
your movie, you’ve been editing for
eight or nine months, and it costs money! But creatively, my editor, Tom McArdle, and I know that if we can look away
for a moment it’s going to help. And this
time, that separation was mandatory.
We were very close to finishing in
March of last year, and when the shutdown happened, the studio had just
seen a cut and said, “People have got to
see this movie in theaters.” As a filmmaker, I was thrilled about that, and I
agreed — so we waited. Tom and I edited in my basement in August for another six or seven weeks, until we had to
stop again because I couldn’t color correct or mix the movie in a way that I
thought was appropriate. When we
picked the film back up in FebruaryMarch [2021], it was flat-out strange.
When I finish a movie, I never revisit it.
There was a little creative trauma of
having to reengage and remember why
we made these choices. All those editorial decisions that you make [in an edit]
are very process-driven — a lot of that
process was lost in the fire, so to speak.
But ultimately, once we got over that
trauma and chaos of it all, it was really
exciting. We made some really smart
choices in those final three weeks.
There was one montage sequence about
three-quarters of the way through the
movie that we could not crack, and suddenly, boom, we could see. It was a
humbling process, but I felt a lot of that
made the movie better.
Q. What about Matt Damon as an actor
made you think he’d be right for Bill?

JESSICA FORDE/FOCUS FEATURES

A. Early on in [the writing process], in
2016 and 2017, there was a real discussion happening about America’s place
in the world — America’s moral authority. That’s often personified in the American hero in cinema. The man on a mission, a man abroad, getting the job done
— and [the writers and I] wanted to
subvert that. We wanted to challenge
and unpack that a bit more, and have a
conversation about the consequences of
that character, which thrillers never do.
We needed an actor who would [make]
audiences think, “Oh, he’s the hero. He’s
the guy here we’re going to follow on
this mission.” When you start to think
about the actors who really have that,
the list is very small. And Matt was always at the top of that list for us.

Q. You began work on this script prior to
“Spotlight.” What brought you back to
this story? Did “Spotlight” change your
perspective on what “Stillwater” might
be?
A. Working on “Spotlight” cemented
something for me. I was talking to a lot
of journalists then, and learning something about process. I realized, “Oh, my
approach [to filmmaking] is sort of
journalistic.” I’m always searching for
authenticity and trying to get the facts
right, even when I’m [writing] fiction,
it’s always important to me. So I think
that was something I took — how do I
keep doing this in a way that feels authentic to whatever story I’m telling?
But “Spotlight” was a pure procedural,
there was such a machine to it that
there was very little opportunity to explore character and emotional dimensions beyond the already powerful subject matter. To that end, I’m glad I waited until after “Spotlight” to make
“Stillwater.” The script I had before
Spotlight wasn’t a movie I wanted to direct — it was a straight-up thriller, and
it didn’t have a point of view. So I remember calling [“Spotlight” co-writer]
Josh Singer in his early research days
and being like hey, I’m coming up to
Boston with you, this isn’t a movie I
want to make right now. And he was
like, “Great!” [laughs]
After we made “Spotlight,” two
things happened: One, [when] you
make a movie like that and win an Oscar, people trust you a little bit more,
and they give you an opportunity to
take big swings. I think “Stillwater” is a
big swing. And two, it’s a very compli-

cated movie, and probably one I wasn’t
ready to make [back then]. Yes, it has
procedural elements to it, an investigative element to it — it also has thriller,
mystery, suspense, love . . . it has all
these different threads I think I was
more prepared to weave together at exactly this moment in my career, if I’m
being honest.
Q. I was going to ask about genre, because this film plays with conventions
across the board, but doesn’t fall into
any one category.
A. I have to give a lot of credit to the collaboration with my French co-writers
on that, just how they approach cinema
and storytelling. I also think a marker
for [these complex stories] is long-form
podcasts like “S-Town” and “Serial,”
which were really hitting critical mass
in this country and abroad [while we
were writing]. What was exciting about
these podcasts is that they weren’t just
one thing, they were many things, from
a murder mystery to a love story to a
philosophical discussion of time and
more. There’s so much to unpack, and I
find that if [the creators] can keep the
tone consistent, as they did with those
podcasts and I hope we did with “Stillwater,” audiences will go on the journey
with a character they want to spend
time with. They will journey beyond
genre, and they will journey beyond
what they expect.

The Globe’s film critic
leaves his post with
mixed emotions

Continued from Page N1

Netflix as often as they do in the multiplex. Disney has reorganized itself
around Disney+. The landscape has
shifted, and it’s not shifting back.
Yet most reviewers continue to write
about films in a way the public no longer primarily watches them. That’s especially true for older audiences, for
whom “going to the movies” can mean
being assaulted by 20 minutes of
screaming previews followed by a heavily digitized sequel based on a comic
book or young adult novel. I confess
that one of the most wearying aspects of
the job for me has been attending to the
blockbuster franchise properties that
are now Hollywood’s primary order of
business. It has become increasingly difficult to care about one more superhero
or digitized Armageddon. There are
plenty of movies about human beings to
let people know about. More than a century of them, in fact.
I leave this post with mixed emotions, of course, some of which is pure
ego. It’s fun to sound an early heads-up
for “The Shape of Water,” say, or “Parasite,” or to be part of the pile-on for a disaster like “Cats.” One of the lines from
my review for that movie — “Oh God,
my eyes” — went viral, the 21st-century
equivalent of a dopamine hit to a critic’s
brain. But I’m not sure how that particularly serves a reader.
And it’s the readers I’m going to miss
the most in my new venture, or the

readers I’m leaving behind. My colleagues at the Globe, too, who continue
to do heroic work at a punishing and often demoralizing time for traditional
news. When I started in 2002, the Globe
had two film critics and a stable of freelancers who covered every movie opening in Boston theaters. Nineteen years
later, it’s mostly just me, and I review a
handful of the weekly total. And I’ve
been blessed with luck compared to
those at the many, many news outlets
that have laid off arts writers and now
rely on wire services for reviews. The
march of technology and its impact on
the newspaper business has been relentless, with the readers losing out the
most. And yet the Globe continues to
keep its pact with readers and New England through dogged, prize-winning investigative reporting and opinion.
That’s not going away.
Nor am I, really, and I invite you to
follow me in the new venture. I’m
thinking of “Ty Burr’s Watch List” as a
curated guide to movies. It’s pretty simple: Once you sign up at tyburrswatchlist.substack.com, you get an e-mail
from me three times a week recommending a film or films — some new,
some old, some in theaters, mostly on
streaming platforms. The newsletter’s
free; if you want to pay for a monthly
or annual subscription, you get more
articles, reviews, and recommendations. Along with the suggestions I’ll
provide context and a little history,
something to make you ponder or

A line from Ty Burr’s review of
“Cats” (top, with Judi Dench) —
“Oh God, my eyes” — went viral,
but the critic says it served readers
better to give them an early headsup for films such as “Parasite”
(right, with Jo Yeo-jeong).

laugh. It’ll still be me.
And I hope it’ll still be you, because
for me the great pleasure of writing
about movies is turning readers on to
something — a vision, an entertainment, a challenge, a lark — that they
wouldn’t have known about otherwise.
An even greater pleasure over the years
has been hearing back from you about
the movies that have changed your day
or your mind or your life. This job has
never been about handing out brickbats
to “Cats” or “The Cat in the Hat.” (What
is it with the cat movies?) It’s about how
we connect to each other, onscreen and
off. And it always will be.

Looking at the documentary side
of this year’s Woods Hole Film Festival
By Peter Keough

‘A

GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

rt can talk about politics,” says Tammam Azzam, one of the exiled
Syrian artists in David
Henry Gerson’s “The Story Won’t Die,” which screens at the
Woods Hole Film Festival (July 31-Aug.
7). “But politics can’t ever talk about
art.”
Gerson’s documentary (it screens
Aug. 2, at 7:30 p.m., at the Cotuit Center
for the Arts) is one of several in the festival that ponder the nature of politics
and art. In this case it is art and politics
in extremis, as it follows the post-exile
careers of those swept up in the Syrian
diaspora, fleeing the chaos of civil war
and the tyranny of a regime where a
rapper can be imprisoned and tortured
for months for his lyrics.
Azzam, who lives in Berlin, creates
collages and other visual art in which he
superimposes images by Klimt, Goya,
and other artists on pictures of the ruined buildings and rubble-filled streets
of razed Syrian cities. He recalls the initial exhilaration of the uprising against
Bashar al-Assad in 2011. “It lasted
about two weeks,” he says. Then it was
replaced by the mounting terror of seeing people killed every day or taken
away and never seen again.
All have horror stories to tell, such as
Diala Brisly, in Paris, an illustrator
whose brother was forcibly drafted into
the Syrian army and who stepped on a
landmine and was killed. She had a
promising career working on children’s
television shows before she fled the
country. Now she incorporates the carnage she has witnessed in graphic novels. In one picture, a little girl sits on a
hospital bed, both legs amputated and
bandaged, with bloodstained teddy
bear next to her. “When I get better and
have legs again,” the girl says, “I’m going
to step on Bashar’s head.”
Those from poorer backgrounds
who couldn’t afford an easy transfer
faced trauma in the journey from Syria
to Europe. For choreographer Medhat
Aldaabal it took over a year of hardship
to make it to Berlin, where he now has
his studio. In the course of his sojourn
he slept on the streets, in Lebanon, Istanbul, and Greece, freezing and starving but persevering. “Luckily I’m an art-

Though their circumstances are not
nearly as tragic as those in “The Story
Won’t Die,” the New Bedford artists in
Drew Furtado’s “Restart 2020” (Aug. 4,
5:15 p.m., the Cotuit Center for the
Arts) face challenges as well, not least of
which is being an artist in New Bedford.
For many years disdained as a de-

pressed city ravaged by crime, unemployment, and drugs, New Bedford recently has seen a renaissance of sorts, as
painters, musicians, and others have
found a home there. Their presence has
attracted new businesses and transformed the downtown into an attractive
destination.
But New Bedford has been a microcosm of the country’s recent troubles,

such as racial discord and political divisiveness. These issues have influenced
the local artists who have incorporated
them in their work. In “The Hive” project, Kat Knudsen painted hexagonal
portraits of some of the local people
who brought the city together; and Alison Wells in her “In the Neighborhood,”
series has created layered images of
New Bedford’s diversity and history in

striking, palimpsest-like canvases.
Knudsen had plans for a gallery show
for her project, and Wells’s works were
scheduled to be exhibited in the New

their advantage is, like their artwork, an
inspiration.
For the teenage activists in Skye Wallin’s “American Gadfly” (Aug. 5, 6:15
p.m., Redfield Auditorium, Woods Hole
Oceanographic Institution) politics is
not so much the art of the possible as it
is the art of the implausible. Confronted
by a world needing radical change, they
seek out a Democratic presidential candidate who is somewhat to the left of
Bernie Sanders. They learn about former Senator Mike Gravel (D-Alaska),
who in 1971 read into the Congressional Record the Pentagon Papers —
which revealed decades of lies by the
government about the Vietnam War. He
also ran a quixotic campaign for president, in 2008, and managed to land a
spot in some of the Democratic debates.
At 89, he agreed to campaign again with
the kids in charge.
No one was under any illusion that
he will win, but they were hoping that
once again Gravel might serve as a gadfly, pushing the other candidates to
more liberal positions on climate
change, the military budget, and a direct democracy agenda. To that end, the
young activists commandeered Gravel’s
Twitter account, tweeting out barbs
about the other candidates to stir them
out of their complacency. The campaign
gained traction, built a following, and
gained respect from other political operators and pundits (“They are not dilettantes,” says one of the latter in the
film). Suspense builds as it closes in on
where Gravel can reach the total of
65,000 unique donors necessary to participate in the debates.
Gravel, a Springfield native who died
last month, at 91, didn’t win the nomination. But those in his campaign team
are just getting started.

DOC TALK | PETER KEOUGH

The plight of HaitianDominicans; millions of
moths; cat videos galore

N

ational borders these
days are not known for
their kindness to strangers, but the one dividing
Haiti from the Dominican Republic presents an especially insidious example of human rights abuse.
As seen in Michèle Stephenson’s documentary “Stateless,” a 2013 ruling from
the Dominican Republic’s Supreme
Court stripped citizenship from Dominicans of Haitian descent. Citizens of neither nation, over 200,000 Haitian-Dominicans have become refugees in their
own country, trapped in a catch-22 situation where they must track down elusive or nonexistent documents to appeal their status.
This state of affairs has a long and
bloody history. It goes back to 1937,
when Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo had tens of thousands of Haitians
murdered in a campaign to eliminate
black people and “whiten” the population. Now the country has been swept
up in the worldwide trend toward toxic,
exclusionary nationalism. Gladys, a
wealthy woman, is an activist in that
cause. She claims she’s not racist but
says she’s heard stories of Haitians who
are thugs, rapists, thieves, and murderers. The border must be sealed and all
non-Dominicans deported. “The government must build a wall,” she says.
Luckily for some of the Dominicans
of Haitian descent, they have the help of
Rosa Iris, a young lawyer who has specialized in pleading the cases of those
tossed into this legal limbo. One of her
clients, Juan Teofilo, has been separated
from his children because of the new
rules. In a suspenseful sequence, he and

Iris drive through checkpoints en route
to the government office where he can
renew his identity card. As with most of
Iris’s cases, his is frustrated by red tape
and barely concealed contempt and racism.
Like the Kenyan activist in last year’s
documentary “Softie,” Iris decides she
will have to run for public office to
achieve any change. As happens in that
other film, she contends with mounting
obstacles. She lacks funds for organizing and campaigning. She encounters
apathy and despair among those she
wants to represent — some of whom are
willing to sell their votes for the 100 pesos offered by the opposition. And she is
getting death threats — not just against
her but her young son as well. Her anxiety grows when staff members of a radio station where she has given interviews are murdered.
Intercut through Iris’s story is a
dreamlike enactment of a legend about
a Haitian girl who back in the days
when Trujillo was dictator was chased
down by border guards. Her spirit now
lives in the aptly named Massacre River,
and she protects children while they
sleep, singing them lullabies until dawn.
“Stateless” can be streamed until
Aug. 18 at pov.org and at www.pbs.org/

like engraved crystal. Swarming in the
millions, they are a terrifying sight.
Their larvae are even worse. They devour the leaves of boxwood trees, leaving acres of blight that are kindling for
wildfires.
“It’s Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘The Moths’!”
says one of the two teenage girls who
are the subjects of Roxanne Gaucherand’s boldly experimental hybrid documentary, “Moth/Pyrale” (2020). Best
friends since childhood, the two regard
the plague with curiosity and wonder;
and it seems to parallel the growing attraction between them.
Gaucherand combines an observational style in reporting the moth infestation with a diaristic format for recording the pair’s metamorphosing relationship. The result is a provocative pairing
of disaster movie with coming-of-age
story.

Paws that refresh
The “CatVideoFest 2021” is a compilation reel of cat videos that Will

Braden has picked out and put together
from the 10,000 he claims to have
watched. That’s from the 2 million feline flickers put on YouTube every year
and seen by 26 billion viewers. But
there can never be enough cat videos,
and these are the quintessence of the
genre. Plus, the show raises money for
cats in need, through partnerships with
local cat charities and animal welfare
organizations.
Every permutation of the form fills
the fest’s 70 minutes. Cats prowl across
keyboards — both piano and computer.
Cats interact with video games, other
animals (a parrot and a bobcat!), infants, Q-Tips (very funny), other cats,
long-suffering dogs, countless cat toys,
tall shelving with fragile objects, Christmas tree ornaments, Zoom calls, and
themselves seen in reflective surfaces.
There are dressed-to-the-nines cats
strutting on a catwalk and a feral kitten
finding a forever home with a girl in a
wheelchair.
The funniest of these clips employ
suspense — no matter how many times

you see a bag or a box and a cat jump
out of it, it’s a surprise (for me anyway)!
The less successful episodes are those
that are clearly staged, in which the cats
are manipulated, ending with the notice “No cats were injured in making
this video but a couple of owners were
scratched.” Serves them right.
A sad note: Braden makes an onscreen appearance toward the end to
announce that his tuxedo cat Henry,
best known on social media as Henri,
the weary existentialist “Le Chat Noir”
who has bemoaned the futility of life
and the stupidity of the human race in
numerous videos, has moved on to kitty
heaven. There he will no doubt be performing in Jean-Paul Sartre’s “No Exit.”
Au revoir, Henri! “L’enfer, c’est les
autres!”

Songs of

In Ha Jin’s latest, an immigrant
struggles to keep his art alive
A SONG EVERLASTING by Ha Jin
Pantheon, 352 pages, $28

JiYEUN KANG FOR THE BOSTON GLOBE

BY PRISCILLA GILLMAN
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT
Ha Jin, author of the National Book Award
winning “Waiting” (1999) and the brilliant “A
Map of Betrayal” (2014), writes novels defined by
profound thoughtfulness and quiet, unshowy
grace. His unadorned prose; cool, hypnotic style;
and nuanced, compassionate portraits of characters seeking freedom and fulfillment while running up against bureaucratic, political, and personal obstacles have won him a deservedly admiring readership. His latest novel, “A Song
Everlasting,” marshals many of these winning
features in the service of a deeply moving portrait of an artist as an immigrant in a new land.
“A Song Everlasting” opens in Queens, N.Y.,
after a performance by the state-sponsored People’s Ensemble of Beijing, the last show in their
five-city tour of the United States. Yao Tian, the
“premier soloist” in the group, spots an old

friend, Han Yabin, in the audience, and after asking permission of the troupe’s director, accepts
Yabin’s invitation to go out for post-show drinks.
Yabin asks Tian to sing at a celebration of Taiwan’s National Day by Chinese and Taiwanese
immigrants; the carrot is that he would make almost a quarter of his annual salary for the one
performance. Desperate for extra cash to pay his
daughter Tingting’s prep school tuition bill, Tian
accepts the offer despite knowing that there will
likely be repercussions.
Yabin had originally come to the US because
the Chinese government wouldn’t allow him to
continue in a relationship with a foreign woman.
Tian learns that his friend had gone to New York,
earned his MBA from Fordham University, and is
now working as an insurance broker with an office in Flushing. He has a lovely girlfriend, a
comfortable apartment, a prosperous living. To
Tian, Yabin seems like a “model of success,” and

On Maine
By M. J. Andersen
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

In July, the summer people fan out
to homes in Maine. For those who can
only fantasize, books set in the state offer a fine alternative. An impressive roster encompasses writers from Thoreau
and E.B. White to Ann Beattie, Richard
Russo, and Elizabeth Strout (do not
miss her Olive Kitteridge books). And
though not all of Stephen King’s books
are set in Maine, he himself is.
Apart from its natural beauty, Maine
has become a dream destination for
foodies. These days, more is in store
than boiled lobster, and Erin French is
one reason why. French operates the
phenomenally successful Lost Kitchen,
in out-of-the-way Freedom. (Reserva-

tions are so sought-after it is best to assume you will never get one, and make
your peace with it.)
In a candid new memoir, “Finding
Freedom,” French warmly describes her
upbringing in the small Midcoast town.
By age 12, she was helping out at her father’s diner, having already graduated
from cleanup to line cook. The work
was grueling, but French acquired
skills that would never desert her, along
with a love of cooking for others.
Her rise was improbable. Pregnant
at 21, French dropped out of Northeastern and returned home. Marital breakdown and addiction ruined her first attempt at a restaurant, which began as a
pop-up in Belfast. For a time, she lost

that success convinces Tian
that America really is “a land of
opportunities.”
Soon, Tian will find out for
himself what life as a Chinese
immigrant in the United States
is really like. Back in China, it
becomes apparent that he
made a very bad decision indeed. The event’s sponsors suppor ted Taiwan’s secession,
anathema to the Chinese authorities, so he’s called in for
questioning, compelled to do a
written self-criticism, and
asked to turn in his passport to
his employer. He and his wife,
Shuna, a history professor at
Tsinghua University, decide
that the safest plan is for him to
go to the US, make as much
money as possible for
Tingting’s college education,
and bring them over one day.
He will be “a trailblazer for
their family in America.”
The rest of the novel charts
Tian’s new life in the States, one
full of small triumphs, complicated pressures, and a freedom
both intoxicating and disorienting. He must navigate the challenges of a long-distance marriage, the fallout from his torrid
one-night stand with a bewitching but unstable woman, and
the vagaries of the US job market. He must make artistic and
personal compromises: work in
home renovation when singing
opportunities are few and far

between, take a job performing
in a casino to pay the bills, live
with an unmarried female colleague in order to cut costs.
Hard choices between security and freedom present themselves again and again. Over
Shuna’s objections, Tian turns
down a $4 million offer from
the Chinese government to never perform again. Yabin helps
his friend “navigate through
the hurdles and snares” of managing the intricacies of a career
beset by outside interference.
Through it all, Tian holds on to
his faith in the purity of his artistic identity and his commitment to creating a new life as a
free man.
Ha Jin’s novels are always
informative about life in and
outside of China for Chinese
citizens. From a broken health
care system to cancer-causing
pollution, Internet censorship
to religious persecution, the experience of Chinese locals is
filled with danger and oppression. Ever present is the controlling touch of the Chinese
government, often registered in
intentionally demeaning and
petty interferences such as canceling passports or creating
false or misleading press stories. These are reminders of the
Party’s claim to power over every aspect of Chinese lives, including especially those who
have left the country, and we
experience viscerally the impact of such toxicity and terror

on characters we come to know
well and to love.
Throughout, Jin reflects on
the nature of freedom, what
constitutes happiness, and
“how the personal and the historical … converge.” His protagonist poses the question: “If a
country has betrayed a citizen,
isn’t the citizen entitled to betray the country?” and ponders
what it means to “live a meaningful life on his own terms.”
“A Song Everlasting” runs a
little long — some details seem
extraneous or distracting and
there are unnecessary repetitions — but by novel’s end, we
are deeply bonded to its protagonist, who emerges from one
setback, trauma, and blow after
another with his dignity, idealism, and essential goodness intact. The quiet heroism of his
life, his commitment to growth
and art, his emergence into the
experience of ordinary contentment are impressive and touching. The title’s “song” is the
song of freedom, sung not loudly but persistently, as a tune
that all the world’s people may
follow, and which in this moment has a peculiarly potent
ring for an American audience
that has half-forgotten its pull.

A more upscale Maine is the
setting for Alexander Chee’s
first novel, the somewhat misleadingly titled “Edinburgh,” in
which a dozen choir boys are

protagonist, nicknamed Fee, is
half Korean, and embraces his
grandparents’ folk tales in an attempt to overcome the emotional damage.
Chee brings abundant literary gifts to this harrowing story.
He is superb on the all-consuming power of adolescent infatuation; the way in which children
both know and do not know
things; and the guilt of those
who have survived abuse.
Apart from some familiar

Maine only in the sense that
King Lear needs a heath. Korea,

more important but relies on
Maine for contrast.
As the novel opens, Fee’s
grandparents have left their
homeland behind, and moved
in with the family in Cape Elizabeth. “Korea is in trouble,” Fee’s
grandfather confides, but he
adds: “Maine, Maine is okay.
Many fat people. But okay.”
Fee’s grandfather may never

THE GREAT DISSENTER:

amed after the
nation’s first chief
justice, John Marshall Harlan was
born “on the very
hinge of a society splitting in
half,” writes Peter S. Canellos in
his sweeping new biography of
Harlan, “The Great Dissenter.”
In 1833 when Harlan was born,
his native Kentucky was part of
the south but also the frontier,
still a slave state but one increasingly divided on the subject, and
home to a small but growing
population of free Black people.
From James Harlan, his lawyer father, he inherited a prominent and privileged name, a reverence for the US Constitution,
and a possible half-brother, an
enslaved man named Robert
Harlan. Canellos hedges on the
matter, citing some reports that
James Harlan merely took a special interest in Robert, but concludes that it seems likely Robert, born to an enslaved woman
when James was 16, was his
son.
Canellos, an editor at Politico
who formerly worked for the
Globe, charts Robert’s life story
alongside John’s, both Harlans
forging their own paths through
a changing America. Smart and
hard-working, Robert was
barred from the legal study the
white Harlan men pursued, but
he made his own way in the
more freewheeling side of Kentucky life, including horseracing
and gambling. Growing up,
Canellos writes, the younger
Harlan could have seen Robert
as “an adventuresome uncle,
cousin, or family retainer from a
very different mold.” But having
a Black, enslaved relative,
though not unusual among scions of the white South, seems to
have made a difference in how
John Harlan later thought,
wrote, and judged cases about
race.
By the time of the Civil War,

The Story of John Marshall
Harlan, America’s Judicial Hero

By Peter S. Canellos
Simon & Schuster, 609 pages,
$32.50

John Harlan had ridden the
waves of several political parties
that formed and dissolved over
the topic of slavery. Harlan was
not an abolitionist, but he was a
Unionist, and he fought for the
North. Robert Harlan, then a
successful businessman in Cincinnati, moved his family to
England for the duration. The
sections about Robert’s attempt
to triumph over the English
horseracing establishment are
more vivid than those about
John’s political infighting and
even his actual fighting. Still,
service in the war added another
dimension to a man who was
beginning to grow into the jurist
he would become.
After the war, John Harlan
returned to the law and politics,
serving as Kentucky’s attorney
general and twice running unsuccessfully for governor, as a
Republican, a conversion his enemies decried but which he defended as an evolution of belief.
As Canellos writes, “he declared,
echoing his hero Henry Clay:
‘Let it be said that I am right
rather than consistent.’”
The presidential election of
1876 effectively traded a Republican in the White House for the
end of Reconstruction, and soon
thereafter John Harlan was seated on the Supreme Court as “a
kind of human olive branch” to
white southerners, who might
be able to see him as one of their
own. A “proud, portly, good-humored gentleman” by this time,
he was, Canellos notes, “no rebellious outsider.” Yet in time
Harlan’s role on a Court dominated by “colorless, dutiful justices” would stand out for its
boldness, and his dissents would

light a way for future generations to pursue a jurisprudence
of equality.
Harlan dissented notably in
the Civil Rights Cases of 1883,
arguing that the 14th Amendment authorized federal action
and that the 13th didn’t merely
overturn slavery but demanded
actual freedom for Black Americans. His dissent in 1896 s
Plessy v. Ferguson was blistering, calling the “separate but
equal” accommodations it allowed as wrong as the Court’s
ruling, in the case of Dred Scott,
that Black Americans were not
citizens. Harlan’s arguments in
these and other cases led to
widespread memorializing
among the Black press after he
died in 1911.
Although John Harlan is the
book’s titular protagonist, Robert Harlan is its most intriguing
character — on his own terms,
not merely as a vehicle for understanding John’s conscience
on race. The author’s affection
for both men emerges in his
writing, which at times edges
close to excusing John’s less enlightened views (including his
participation in unanimous
opinions excluding Chinese
Americans from equal standing). Still, overall this is a sensitive and smart excavation of two
men’s entwined lives.
“There are silences in American history,” Canellos writes in
the book’s introduction. Hidden
by one such silence is the truth
about what happened to Black
Americans in the years after Reconstruction, and how the United States Supreme Court’s decisions contributed to their disenfranchisement and
excommunication from legal
equality. With “The Great Dissenter,” and the story of the Harlan men, he has gone some distance in ending that silence.

custody of her son.
Many readers will be inspired by French’s resourcefulness and determination. (She
still has no formal training, and
claims that her knife skills remain mediocre.) Others will
simply savor her descriptions of
the food.
If French’s Maine has discovered briny oysters with a red onion and beet mignonette, W.S.
Winslow’s remains the land of
dispirited casseroles and harsh
realities. As her debut novel,
“The Northern Reach,” makes
clear, the Maine of summer people is not the Maine of yearround inhabitants. Lobstering is
dangerous; economic opportunities are elusive; and winters
are dreaded.
Winslow has set herself the
ambitious challenge of re-creating an entire community within
a relatively few pages. Though at
times the connections are hard
to follow, her novel memorably
depicts the intersecting lives of
several families. Personal tragedies reverberate across generations, giving rise to alcoholism,
estrangement, and divorce.
Yet Winslow’s clear love for
her characters, and the landscape they inhabit, bobs continually to the surface. By focusing
on key moments in multiple
lives, she has created an ensemble portrait greater than the
sum of its parts.
Like much of the country,
Maine has struggled with the
loss of key industries and the

need to reinvent its economy.
Once a center of textile and shoe
manufacturing, Lewiston presents a test case.
Cynthia Anderson, who grew
up nearby, witnessed the city’s
decline firsthand, and mourned
as the downtown she once loved
turned shabby. In “Home Now:
How 6,000 Refugees Transformed an American Town,” she
charts an in-migration that began in 2001, shortly adding several thousand African Muslims
to the community.
To tell Lewiston’s story, she
focuses on five immigrants,
among them the remarkable Fatuma Hussein, a feminist leader
and mother of eight. Anderson
balances empathy toward the
newcomers with a sympathetic
understanding of the original
residents’ diminished hopes. An
evenhanded portrait of Jared
Bristol, an activist who fears a
nationwide Islamic takeover, exemplifies the depth of her reportage.
Amid rising anti-immigrant
sentiment, Lewiston has sometimes drawn national attention.
In one notorious incident, in
2006, a pig’s head was rolled
through the doorway of a
mosque. Identified and charged,
the alleged perpetrator died by
suicide.
Anderson ends with tempered optimism, citing fitful
progress over nearly two decades of change. Still, her most
astute observation may be that
poverty has united Lewiston’s
newcomers and longstanding
residents in continuing trauma.

how to write a book, but his friend recommended sitting down to write every day, and treating it like a job.
“I finished it in about six months,” Sedgwick said.
“And then I got a big agent very quickly. But then, long
story short, it took 13 years to publish.”
The book chronicles not only his adventures with
the law but also his New York childhood, one in which
he enjoyed financial stability but also early access to
drugs and alcohol. For Sedgwick, who is 25 years sober, part of the story boiled down to “how someone
like me ended up like this.”
Writing about his personal travails didn’t please everyone. “A lot of people were angry. I had to take some
people out of the book,” Sedgwick said. “But if anybody is taken to task in the book, it’s really me. I’m not
pointing fingers, I’m not blaming.”

Rob Sedgwick’s “Bob Goes to Jail” is a memoir
about what happens when a privileged young man becomes involved in a drug ring, is busted in a raid, and
then spends a year under DEA surveillance, with a
contract on his head. Oh, and by the way, he was also
an aspiring actor who got a job playing a drug dealer
on a soap opera around the same time.
Sedgwick, now 60, started working on the book
years ago. “I thought it would make a great story. It
started off as a one-man show idea,” he said. But after
sending some pages to a screenwriter friend and asking for feedback, he got bad news. “‘I hate to tell you
this,’ my friend said. ‘It’s not really a one-man show,
it’s a book.’”

Rob Sedgwick will be in conversation with
Abby Ellin at 7 p.m. Wednesday in a virtual
event hosted by Belmont Books.

Victorian blooms

A bookstore returns

James Vick ran a hugely successful seed business in Rochester, New
York, in the mid-nineteenth century
driven by an abiding love of flowers,
and the desire to spread that love.
In a new biography, the first on
Vick, “All About Flowers: James

Company”

Magazine.”
whose personal
and passionate approach to his
business and his customers changed
the cultural face of his nation.” Vick
was a marketing pioneer, suggesting
that a colorful bed of flowers completes the home, and sending out
yearly seed catalogues, and his impact is still seen on flower gardens
today. Flowers popular in the Victorian era — geraniums, dahlias,
morning glories, nasturtiums — remain in beds and boxes now. Mickey’s book is warm, informative, and
ranging, looking at Vick as writer, as
marketer, as good businessman, as a
man passionate about flowers. A letter from one of his customers puts it
well: “There is much that is hard
and productive of sorrow in this sinplagued world of ours; and, had we
no flowers, I believe existence
would be hard to be borne.”

In August of last year, the owners of I AM Books,
the Boston independent bookstore that celebrates Italian and Italian-American heritage and literature, announced they’d be shuttering their brick-and-mortar
store as the result of the pandemic. When they announced the closure they promised to work to find a
new, larger home for the
bookstore when the
time was right. They
kept their business going online in the meantime, and have now
made good on their
promise to find a new
home for the store.

re-opening the shop at a
new location in the North End this fall. “It is our neighborhood,” wrote Orichuia, “and there is no other place
in the world where I AM Books can and should belong.” The storefront at 124 Salem Street is triple the
size of the previous location, with a sweeping bank of
windows along the sidewalk of one of the North End’s
main drags. Orichuia and Pinzino opened I AM Books
in 2015, and besides selling books, hosted a number of
readings, concerts, film screenings, as well as started
an annual two-day cultural festival of books and ideas.

Pick of the week

Healing plants
Plant matter gets thorough and elegant attention in another book, this one recently out from MIT Press.
Catherine Whitlock’s “Botanicum Medicinale: A Modern Herbal of Medicinal Plants” is an A to Z encyclopedia of
some of “most significant” herbs, fruits, flowers, and roots used for medicinal purposes, those that have “a long
history of medicinal use and/or are the subject of ongoing or new medical research.” Each entry includes illustrations of the plant, its key uses, habitat, medical use, and cautionary notes. Lily of the valley, for example, can be
used as a treatment for high blood pressure, angina, cardiac arrhythmia, emphysema, and cancer. And the evening primrose can ease symptoms of insomnia, PMS, nerve pain, asthma, among other ailments and discomforts. Many of the plants will be familiar — coffee, cinnamon, marijuana, black pepper, parsley — but their uses
and recommendations go beyond how we might typically understand them. The book serves as reminder of the
ways natural sources can work in tandem with modern medicine.

Meghan Carmichael at Titcomb’s Bookshop in East
Sandwich, Massachusetts, recommends “Be Holding”
by Ross Gay (Pitt Poetry Series): “This book is one poem. My experience of this poem was through the lens
of embodiment. After the experiences of 2020, of isolation and immobilization — the flight, falling, and awe
inspiring dynamism of this piece was so liberating.
This is also an incredibly personal piece, one that
draws the reader into moments of despair and elation,
and ultimately of justice.”

Here’s what

Trisha Pérez Kennealy raises a glass of rosé at the Inn at Hastings Park.

A modern take
on historic hospitality
Trisha Pérez Kennealy, the owner of The Inn
at Hastings Park, has brought a tasty slice
of chic to the otherwise Colonial enclave

L

EXINGTON — The wallpaper shouldn’t work.
It’s black and covered with big stars. Making
matters worse, it’s clinging to the walls of a historic Lexington Inn. Down the corridor and
around the corner, the situation isn’t much better. An entryway is papered with an equally
questionable choice. This wallpaper is flocked.
As in lime-green 1970s flocked. It’s practically an affront to the architecture it occupies.
But somehow (and seriously, I’m not sure how it’s possible) it
works. Trisha Pérez Kennealy, the owner of the Inn at Hastings Park,
explains that these choices were all quite deliberate, yes, even the
flocked paper, which looks much cooler than it sounds. The main
building of the inn was constructed in 1888 but there is nary a doily
in sight. She and interior designer Robin Gannon made decor choic-

es that belie the building, and the town. But the unlikely contrast between the historic property and the modern decor fits Kennealy’s life
of dissimilitudes.
The Harvard alum and Harvard Business School MBA left a career in finance to attend Le Cordon Bleu, around the time that the
events of Sept. 11, 2001, changed priorities for many. But as she describes it, the radical career shift was inevitable. Her joy was not riding out the dot-com boom and bust, it was in entertaining. She
would throw large dinner parties in her tiny New York City apartment. When she went to the Hamptons with friends, she was the one
who (happily) stayed behind to make dinner for 20 people while everyone else hit the beach.
“I think food, and bringing people together, has always been such
an important part of my life and culture that it was inevitable it

ntil recently, everything we knew about
Scituate came from
an episode of HGTV’s
“My Lottery Dream
Home.” The show featured a Massachusetts woman who won big bucks
and bought an oceanfront property
there. Host David Bromstad, who
lives in Orlando, was besotted by this
slice of coastal Massachusetts, with
its foamy surf and gray-shingled cottages. Scitu-what? We couldn’t have
pinpointed this South Shore town on
a map.
It isn’t just us. Typically, the
shore-hugging homes and restaurants here are filled by long-time local folk, plus summer residents and
their guests. Tourists? Not so much,
says Judy Byrne-Ariel, a Scituate resident for 50 years, who’s on the
board of directors of the Scituate Visitors Center. “Scituate has been off
the radar of tourists simply because
we have never presented ourselves
as a travel destination,” she explains.
That’s not for lack of activities.
Located along the soon-to-launch
South Shore Irish Heritage Trail, Scituate (population around 19,000)
has five beaches, four rivers, a brewery, hiking trails, an historic tavern,
several independent shops, fresh
seafood, and fishing tours aplenty.
This summer, new restaurants and
new harbor cruises have joined the
mix. New plaques now outline Scituate’s Cultural District, and the harborfront has been revitalized. Plus,
planning a visit will be easier soon,
when the new Scituate Visitor Center website goes live.
One reason you might’ve missed
Scituate: Although the town is about
halfway between Boston and Cape
Cod, no highways run through it.
You’ll meander off Pilgrims Highway
(Route 3) for about 20 minutes,
through neighboring Marshfield or
Norwell, to get here. But it’s a nice,
leafy drive once you exit the highway. You could also take the MBTA
commuter rail to Greenbush or
North Scituate, but you’ll be pretty
stuck without a car.

My Club Med
vacation was
canceled.
Do I have
to accept
a credit?
By Christopher Elliott
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

Q. We booked a weeklong vacation
through a travel agent affiliated with
American Express (Altour) for last
spring break. We had accommodations
at the Club Med Miches Playa Esmeralda, including roundtrip airfare, for our
family of four.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic,
the resort closed two weeks before our
departure, and our trip was canceled.
Club Med offered us a future travel
credit for the land portion and an air
credit for the flights. Last May, we rebooked with Club Med for spring break
2021.
Now the resort has not reopened,
and our trip has been canceled a second
time. They are again only offering us a
future travel credit. For the airfare,
which we booked through Club Med but
is with American Airlines, we must use
the flight credit before the end of this
year.
We h a v e b e e n t r y i n g t o w o r k
through our travel agent, but we have
gotten only delays and obfuscation. I’m
not sure if it’s the travel agent or Club
Med.
At this point, we do not want to rebook, and we simply want a full refund
of both the land and air portions of our
trip. Club Med sold us a trip twice and
canceled it twice. T he y have had
$11,573 of our money for over a year.
We feel it is not our responsibility to buy
something else from them since they
sold us a trip they cannot provide. We’ve
told the travel agent that we want a refund, but she says they can only rebook.
Can you help us get a refund?
EMILY MOERER,
Merion Station, Pa.
A. Club Med can’t keep your money
indefinitely. I think you deserve a full
refund for your vacation.
I also think you were smart to work
with a travel adviser. You had an extra
layer of protection. Altour should have
advocated for a quick refund or offered
an acceptable alternative. It’s unclear
what Altour did for you. If I had to
guess, I’d say it wasn’t stalling but was
probably overwhelmed with other
COVID-19 refund cases.
A lot of tour operators offered vouchers after the initial outbreak. And many
customers accepted them, hoping the
pandemic would be over soon. But this
is the travel industry equivalent to “long
COVID,” a condition where people continue to experience COVID-19 symptoms for longer than usual. It would
have been easier if Altour had found a
way to get your first vacation refunded.
Then you could have booked a redo
yourself when it’s safer, instead of
scrambling to use your expiring flight
vouchers.
By the way, your hard-earned money
doesn’t expire. So why should your
flight credits?
You could have appealed this to
American Express. I list the names,
numbers, and e-mail addresses of the
Amex managers on my consumer advocacy site at www.elliott.org/companycontacts/american-express/. I also publish the Club Med executive contacts at
www.elliott.org/company-contacts/
club-med/.
I contacted Altour on your behalf. It
made arrangements for a full refund.

None. My family emigrated from China to

This South Shore gem is awash in local flavor
uSCITUATE

Continued from Page N17

as the most Irish town in America.
Data from the US census found that the
town is home to a higher concentration
of people who trace their heritage to Ireland than any other place in the United
States —nearly 50 percent of residents
claim Irish ancestry. According to the
New England Historical Society, Irish
immigrants began arriving in Boston
during the Irish potato famine, starting
in 1842. Daniel Ward, an Irish immigrant, headed south and started collecting seaweed, a trade called mossing, in
the 1850s in Scituate. Others followed,
and built Victorian mansions along the
coast that still stand today.
Mossing involved using heavy rakes
to scrape Irish moss, or red algae, off the
seafloor at low tide. The moss was used
as a thickening agent and stabilizer in
some medicines, plus ice cream, beer,
wine, and in the textile trade. A good
sea-mosser could gather 1,000 pounds
of the stuff a day, according to the historical society. While that industry is
long-gone — the last commercial moss
farmer, Lucien Rousseau, died in 1983
— Scituate’s identity as an Irish-Catholic
enclave remains. To get a sense of the
town’s past, stop into the Maritime &
Mossing Museum (www.scituatehistoricalsociety.org) at 301 Driftway, currently open on Sundays from 1 to 3 p.m.
Given its deep connection to Ireland,
Scituate will be a stop along the South
Shore Irish Heritage Trail (www.ssiht
.com), running from Weymouth to
Plymouth and set to launch next March.
Narratives will tell the story of Irish immigrants who built a new life in America. Cape Verdeans, “who have contributed in a large way to our fishing industr y,” are also well-represented in
Scituate, Byrne-Ariel says. A harborwalk, starting at Cole Parkway, is lined
with panels that highlight Scituate’s
maritime history.
In typical summers, Scituate hosts
celebrations galore. Events such as Paddle Parade, Heritage Days, and Friday
Night Fish Fries add to the small-town
vibe. Some of these are still pending for
2021. “I would describe the soul of Scituate as ‘Hometown America,’ ” says
Byrne-Ariel.
The town has four village districts,
North Scituate, Greenbush-Driftway, Scituate Harbor, and Humarock, the smallest. Humarock is an interesting place —

SCOTT EISEN/GETTY IMAGES

it’s a 3-mile peninsula that stretches into
Cape Cod Bay, lined with summer homes
(and lots of signs that say “private” and
“no parking”). You get the sense that everyone knows each other and that these
beach cottages get passed on from family
member to family member — not a lot of
“For Sale” signs here.
Hike, eat, repeat
This is a coastal town, so of course
you’re thinking “beach.” But beaches are
a sticking point here, and we’re not talking sticky sand. To snag one of the 200
parking spots at Peggotty Beach, a
pleasant half-mile scoop of hard-packed
sand, visitors must purchase a one-day,
nonresident parking sticker for $20 at
the Harbormaster’s Office (100 Cole
Parkway), for use on Tuesdays and
Thursdays only. You can get around this
if you’re willing to park in downtown
Scituate Harbor and walk (about a mile)
to Peggotty Beach. There’s also a small,
pebbly beach at Old Scituate Lighthouse
(see below) with parking (yay!) and a
jetty. The other local beaches have resident parking only, or no parking at all,
although “anyone can walk onto any
beach in town at no cost,” Byrne-Ariel

People lined up next to the Old
Scituate Lighthouse to watch an
eclipsed sunrise on June 10.

notes. (Note to the reader who always
asks: We are told that the beaches offer
portable restrooms in summertime.)
Town officials are looking into offering
bus service from the T stations to local
beaches, a visitor-friendly move, but
that’s not a reality right now.
Scituate Harbor is dandy for strolling, though. Park at the wharf, or streetside, and start with a coffee and a scone
at Lucky Finn Café (www.luckyfinn
cafe.com) and wander in and out of
small specialty shops along Front Street
like Joye (www.joyegifts.com) and Expressions (www.expressionsscituate
.com), purveyors of artisan-made
goods, Goodie’s II (antiques), Native (indigenous tribal folk art and jewelry;
www.shopnativeonline.com), and Harbor Light Toys & Candy (www.harbor
lighttoys.com). (Independent shops are
sprinkled throughout Scituate’s neighborhoods, along with your typical CVS
and Dunks.)

Feel like signing up for a fishing
charter or boat excursion? Book a tour
in Scituate Harbor. We hear good things
about Captain Don Campbell of Labrador Fishing Charters (www.labrador
fishingcharters.com).
Tucked behind the businesses on
Front Street is a Scituate staple, Mill
Wharf Restaurant (www.millwharf
.com). Located at the site of an old mill,
this one is open for lunch and dinner,
with a raw bar, indoor seating, and outdoor dining on the water. There’s a
more casual lounge upstairs. Lump crab
cakes ($16) are a signature dish, and
not your usual preparation; the crab is
mixed with corn, bacon, tomato, and
scallions, served with corn-and-cream
beurre blanc.
Walk off lunch with a ramble at the
Old Scituate Lighthouse, located a short
drive from downtown on Cedar Point.
One of seven properties maintained by
the Scituate Historical Society
(www.scituatehistoricalsociety.org), the
1½-story, c.1810 lighthouse is the 11th
oldest in the nation and remains lit. Occasionally, the light tower is open to visitors. Another lighthouse, Minot’s
Ledge Light, stands about 1 mile off Sci-

tuate Neck.
Or head for a trail at one of Scituate’s
Conservation Land & Trails properties.
We liked 334-acre Driftway Conservation Park (www.scituatema.gov), located about 1½ miles from Scituate Harbor, not far from the Greenbush MBTA
station. A boardwalk and a series of
short trails wind through woodlands
and alongside salt marshes, with nice
views of the Herring River.
Then there’s that other kind of liquid
— beer. A Scituate native, Matt Elder, is
the founder of Untold Brewer y
(www.untoldbrewing.com), opened in
2017. The taproom is situated in a renovated c.1852 schoolhouse, if you please,
and they’ll school you in all things related to craft bee-ah. At this combination
brewery/taproom/patio (where leashed
dogs are permitted), they serve a rotating and diverse selection of IPAs, pale
ales, lagers, fruited sours, and stouts.
For dinner, the time-honored choice
is the Barker Tavern (www.barker
tavern.com). This handsome historic
building includes elements that date
back to 1634, they say. Open for dinner
only, this one has an old-school (in a
good way) feel and menu. Seafood is a
mainstay here; there’s a raw bar and a
seafood casserole with lobster, shrimp,
and scallops topped with a buttery Ritz
cracker stuffing ($42). Besides the tavern’s main dining room, there’s the
more casual Eli’s Pub.
While most guests from the Boston
area will likely come for the day — ”We
envision a good part of our tourist traffic to be day-trippers,” Byrne-Ariel says
— you can spend the night if you time it
right. There’s an inn in the ‘hood, the
2 9 - r o o m In n a t S c i t u a t e Ha r b o r
(www.innatscituate.com; rates from
$199.) We say ‘time it right’, because Scituate’s only inn books up quickly on
summer weekends. But you could luck
out during the week. The inn has a heated indoor pool, and views of Scituate
Harbor and the lighthouse from every
room.
A sign in the inn’s lobby reads: “Perfectly situated.” Pop on down and see if
you agree. Maybe you’ll even do some
house-hunting yourself, after you’ve
scratched off that winning lottery ticket.

she said.
Those skills have also earned
the Inn at Hastings Park a spot
in the coveted Relais & Châteaux
hotel group. A collection of individually owned hotels, usually
located in landmark buildings,
that are chosen for their emphasis on “character, courtesy, calm,
charm, and cuisine.” The inn is
the only Boston-area property in
the collection. Think of it as the
Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval for ultra posh hotels and
restaurants.
Kennealy’s passion for cooking led her to open the inn’s restaurant, Town Meeting Bistro.
While she’s not the executive
chef (she’s already more than occupied running both the inn and
the restaurant), she works closely on the menu, and many of the
ingredients come either from
her own garden or from local
farmers.

She said her love of food and
bringing people together comes
from her upbringing, which is
another study in contrasts. She
refers to herself as a real-life
“West Side Story.” Her Jewish

mother met her Puerto Rican father when they were teenagers,
and Kennealy grew up in Puerto
Rico with the best of both cultures until she was 12. Back in

packed tight with friends and
relatives.
“It takes a while for people to
warm up to other people [in
New England],” she said. “And so
I would say that my upbringing
in Puerto Rico completely has
influenced my style of hospitality. The same with my Jewish
background. One of my friends
said, ‘We came, we saw, we conquered, we beat the odds, and
now we’re going to have a meal.’
Everything is meant to be celebrated with food.”
She and her husband, Mike
Kennealy, Massachusetts’ Secretary of Housing and Economic
Development, are raising their
three children “in an Irish-Catholic-Jewish-Puerto Rican household,” she said with a broad
smile.
When the Inn at Hastings
Park was shuttered during the
pandemic, Kennealy again
turned to food to bring people
together, this time virtually. She
put her Le Cordon Bleu training
to work and began offering online cooking classes. If she
couldn’t use her Puerto RicanJewish hospitality and professional culinary training in person, she decided to reach out to
quarantine-bound families who
were looking to learn new recipes and cooking techniques. She
even started work on a cookbook. A pandemic can’t keep a
good hostess down.
The COVID cooking classes
proved to be so popular that her
students have made the jump to
learning in Kennealy’s kitchen.
Now that the inn and restaurant
have reopened, guests can book
immersive cooking weekends,
which include a farm and history tour, a four-course tasting dinner with wine pairings, a picnic,
and one dinner that they’ll cook
for themselves. It’s 20 hours of
instruction, plus an endless
amount of food. Prices for the
weekend, which includes all
food and lodging, begin at
$1,400.
“During the pandemic, I
think we all gained a new appreciation for food, and the power it
has to bring us together.” she
said. “I think that’s a lesson
that’s going to stay with us for a
while. Culturally, for me, it’s always been there. I’m thrilled to
have a chance to share it.”

cated near the shores of 230acre Ponkapoag Pond. There are
20 simple cabins, sleeping four
to seven people, with beds, table
and chairs, and a bureau. The
cabins do not have electricity or
running water or indoor plumbing, and you’ ll need to bring
your own linens or sleeping
bags. Lanterns and flashlights
are essential, too.
When the sun rises, outdoor
adventure awaits! You’ll have access to the Reservation’s extensive trail network, including
more than 125 miles of paths
through marshlands, fields and
forests. There’s a delightful loop
trail around the pond, including
a boardwalk through marshes to
the shoreline. It’s also an easy
walk from your cabin to the water, where there’s a small beach
(lifeguards are often on duty
during the summer season) with
swimming, fishing, and paddling. Rowboat, kayak, and canoe rentals are also available.
In the evenings, head over to
the Main Lodge for educational
programs, held weekly during
the summer season. The lodge
also has a few hours of electricity
each evening for reading, play,
and charging batteries. 781-9617007. (Call weekdays only, from
8:30 a.m. to noon.) www.ponkapoagcamp.org
Savoy Mountain State Forest
Lucky are those who snag
one of the four cabins at this
state preserve in the Hoosac
Mountain Range in northwestern Massachusetts. The rustic
cabins, overlooking scenic South
Pond, accommodate up to four
people with bunk beds, table
and chairs, and a wood-burning
stove. They’re primitive; you’ll
need to bring your own linens
and use the portable toilets on
site, but you’ ll have access to
prime outdoor stomping
grounds.
The forest has more than
10,000 acres of fields, woods,
and wetlands, spiderwebbed
with some 60 miles of trails. The
short ½-mile-or-so loop hike to
Tannery Falls is a must, offering
great views of the 70-foot tumbling cascade for short effort.
Bog Pond, with floating islands,
is a popular jaunt, and if you’re
looking for lofty views, scramble
up Spruce Hill along the Busby
Trail. There’s also fishing and
swimming on South and North
Ponds, and boating if you bring
your own kayak or canoe. Fortyfive campsites are also available,
located in a former apple orchard. For reservations, visit Res e r v e A m e r i c a a t w w w. r e serveamerica.com or call 877422-6762. For more information

Boston/Cape Cod KOA Holiday
As camping goes, a stay in
one of the cabins at this newly
opened KOA campground, is
rather plush. There are one- and
two-room cabins, sleeping four
to six people, some with patios,
TVs, and mini-refrigerators, and
deluxe cabins with two bedrooms, full kitchens, and private
baths, sleeping up to eight people.
This rollicking campground
is perfect for families who like

lots of activities. There’s mini
golf, a playground, lawn games,
sports field, swimming pool, and
more. When COVID-19 restrictions are further eased, more activities will be offered, like arts
and crafts, an ice cream sundae
bar, and outdoor movies. The
campground, located 15 miles
west of Plymouth, is also a great
base for day trips into Boston or
Cape Cod. 800-562-3046,

boston.
Pine Acres Family Camping
“Awesome place for a weekend getaway.” “One of our favorite places to go.” “Well-equipped
and maintained.” “Super friendly staff.” These are some of the
consistent comments made
about this well-touted campground, just 50 miles or so west
of Boston in the town of
Oakham.
Seventy-acre Lake Dean is
the centerpiece and major draw,
the perfect place to cool down on
a hot summer day, or to drop a
fishing line in hopes of a few
bites. There are three sandy
beaches and a marina where you
can rent canoes, kayaks, and
paddleboats for a scenic spin
around the lake. Other amenities include a large pool, arcade,
tennis, yard games, and a playground. A full roster of special
events with live music, food
trucks, and activities may be introduced as COVID-19 restrictions ease.
Two-room cabins, sleeping
up to six people, have electricity,
outdoor water hook-up, picnic
table, fire-pit, outdoor charcoal
grill, and a mini-refrigerator.
Full-service cabins have private
baths, kitchenettes, heat and air
conditioning, and flat-screen
TVs. 508-882-9509, www.pineacresresort.com
Mohawk Trail State Forest
Looking to really get away
from it all? This expansive,
6,000-acre forest in Charlemont
will fit that bill. Here, you can
walk among some of the oldest
and tallest trees in the state,
swim in clear river waters, gaze
deep into a plunging gorge, and
follow in the footsteps of early
Native Americans.
Check into one of the six cabins, including four cabins that
sleep up to five people and two
smaller ones sleeping up to three
people. The cabins are bare
bones with bunk beds, and a
chair and table, but showers and
bathrooms are nearby.
And the great outdoors is at
your doorstep, including some of
the oldest and tallest Eastern
White Pine trees in New England. Walk among the giants,
hike trails to the banks of the
Deerfield River to go swimming
or fishing, or head to the top of
Todd Mountain for valley-to-peak
views. You can also walk a portion of the historic Mahican-Mohawk trail, a Native American
foot path connecting Connecticut
to the Hudson River Valley. For
reservations, visit ReserveAmerica at www.reserveamerica.com
or call 877-422-6762. For more

Air Quality Concerns
Tristan Spinski captured the essence of the pollution in his cover
photo for “Something in the Air”
(June 20); just as dandelions
randomly spew seeds into the air,
further causing unrelenting growth
of a nuisance, so too do the effects
of this air pollution. When air filters
clog up with grime and soot, one
has to wonder what is happening to
respiratory tracts and, specifically,
lungs. Studies already cite dangers
of air pollution caused by such
toxins as benzene and other VOCs.
To have to accept the “reality of the
world” in accepting what the state
considers merely (and questionably) “acceptable” should not be
acceptable. Hopefully Kathryn
Miles’s article shines a light toward
real action.
Judith Gundersen

South Portland has been a solid
blue-collar town and a refuge for
those wanting affordable housing
as Portland has gentrified over the
past few decades, fueled by out-ofstate professionals looking to enjoy
small city quality of life. SoPo’s
home values have always been held
down by lower prestige, worse infrastructure, bad smells, and heavy
industry. Like Chelsea, Everett, and
Revere, which also have [petroleum] facilities, SoPo residents are
similarly subject to the negative
health impacts; it’s not new, but it’s
also not just. Why shouldn’t they

If someone has a small vegetable
garden near these sites, is the
quality or safety of the produce impacted? What if someone is raising
children—is their development impacted? Questions like those can’t
even begin to be answered right
now, because there is no reliable
system in place to measure what is
wafting from this tank farm (either
in the air or leaking underground).
This will probably end like it often
does: Decades in the future, after
plenty of long-term damage has
been done to many lives, it will
finally reach critical mass when a
tank fails, or when the companies
that own the site fail, leaving the
city, state, federal government to
clean up yet another toxic site.

I agree that companies only being
required to self report is a weak
compliance strategy. So, change the
laws and protocols. I have no doubt
better results would follow. However, until we can create a sustainable green energy infrastructure, oil
companies will continue to provide
critical service and products. These
companies distribute petroleum
products so you can drive your car
and heat your home.

An Issue of Weight
A big hurrah for self-acceptance
coexisting with the desire to change
(“There’s an Antidote to Self-Loathing,” June 20). While encouraging
both in ourselves, can we do the
same for our children, friends, and
parents? A while back one of my
sons called, as I remember it, “to
acknowledge you, Mom, for sticking
with me during a very tough time.”
His affirmation brings tears to my
eyes even now.

In the early months of the pandemic, like so many others, my connection with friends was via video.
Then one video gathering focused
on the “pandemic 15,” which was,
frankly, frustrating and irritating to
me. I was just tired of hearing
about weight gain and the negative self image talk and said so.
I’m mostly a vegetarian and eat
relatively healthy most times but,
again, like so many others, the pandemic meant baking away my stress
and isolation. This has abated—I’m
back to my healthier eating habits
AND accepting that, OK, I’m wearing bigger pants for however long
that means.

Speaking Up
Miss Conduct pulls off her magic in
her “Yakety Yak” column (June 20),
reminding us that we are all suffering from what I call the “pandemic
hangover.” We are not the same
people after having gone (and still
going through) a pandemic that
changed our lives forever, regardless of how we navigated it. People’s
pandemic hangover behavior is
manifesting in exaggerated negative
ways we have not witnessed before
(anger, frustration, fear)—something, I hope, Miss Conduct will
write about. We all have a story to
tell. Is it any wonder we’re flipping
out and venting, corralling anyone
who will listen? I’ll try to remember they, like me, are pandemic
hungover and will try to be patient
and compassionate. If someone
wants to vent and talk about it, I
can always set my boundaries and,
to quote Miss Conduct, say: “Hey! I
can’t right now!” It’s doable ... unlike COVID.

Thank you to Deborah Farmer Kris

often accept that sadness and anger

often direct that anger to the nearest family member without a lot of
understanding or communication.

children 38 years ago. Funny how
quick we are to want to fix or negate
a problem/feeling when we could
just really LISTEN instead to what
is really being expressed. Kudos to
the author’s son for understanding
that the butterfly needed to be in
its own environment and not to be
saved by postponing the inevitable.
A true maturing lesson.

Had the conversation about why
the caterpillar died taken place
immediately, perhaps the anger and
outburst could have been avoided.
It’s important to attempt to restore
the security that children and adults
need when a crisis occurs, rather
than wait until they lash out.

What If Vaccine
Incentives
Aren’t the Prize
After All?
BY ANDY LEVINSKY

A

t the end of my first visit to a dentist
as a kid, Dr. Horiuchi led me to a treasure chest filled with what seemed like
the prizes from every box of Trix, Cap’n
Crunch, and Lucky Charms ever sold. If not for
these reparations for the rest of the appointment,
my first visit would probably have been my last.
It was only much later that I learned that dentist’s treasure chest was a dangerous game.
When I received my second dose of the Pfizer

entitled to a Bud and a Sam Adams, a Krispy
Kreme doughnut, a $25 gift certificate from Market Basket, free vaccine card lamination at Office Depot, and entry into a CVS sweepstakes for
prizes including a seven-day cruise (that would
presumably provide the opportunity for another
round of shots).
Never mind that I don’t drink beer, eat doughnuts, or shop at Market Basket, that my nearest Office Depot location is in Union, New Jersey,
and that CVS couldn’t get me on a cruise ship for
all the money in the Massachusetts VaxMillions
lottery. In the words of Sally in A Charlie Brown

the phenomenon described by Alfie Kohn in his
1993 book Punished by Rewards: The Trouble
with Gold Stars, Incentive Plans, A’s, Praise, and
Other Bribes. When I first read Kohn’s book, I assumed he was writing about kids. Now, I realize,
he was writing about us all.

‘Cast’ This Set On Your Patio!

LOVE LETTERS

Problem
Unmasked
WE’RE HAVING A PARTY. I TOLD MY
WIFE IT’S ME OR THE GUEST WHO
WON’T GET VAXXED.
Dear Meredith,
My wife and I have been happily married for 25 years. Most
years she holds a lovely outdoor party
mid-summer at our home. Last year, due
to COVID, we didn’t have the party.
My wife intends to hold our party this
year. All but one of the guests have been
fully vaccinated. The lone holdout is the
partner of a good friend, who’s told us
“Fred” has no reason for remaining unvaccinated; he just doesn’t want to.
I still have some reentry anxiety. I
haven’t attended an event that included
Fred since March of last year. I’ve declined
invitations to their home. I’ve explained
to my wife I can’t attend our party if he’s
present. I also suggested we inform our
guests there will be an unvaccinated person at the party. My wife won’t discuss this
with me and gets upset when I bring it up.
My wife is important to me. The party
is important to her. If I attend, I’m not certain I can treat Fred with civility. Do you
have any suggestions as to how I might
handle this dilemma?
– Worrywart

Q.

My wife won’t discuss this with me
and gets upset when I bring it up.
Your wife might be the host of
the party, but the gathering is at the home

A.

you share. That means you should be able
to collaborate on rules and boundaries.
If you’re uncomfortable with Fred, he
shouldn’t be on the invite list. The end.
Many of us have spent the last year
learning how to talk about consent when
it comes to our own health. That work
shouldn’t go out the window just because
the stakes are changing.
Your wife might not want to talk about
it, but that’s life sometimes—sitting with
uncomfortable questions and finding
answers together. Some people (like kids)
can’t get vaccines right now. People who
are around them want to keep them safe.
Others (myself included) have high-risk
people in their lives and have not stopped
asking, “Can I go to this place and then
see my loved one?”
This is about more than Fred. It’s about
how you navigate these questions with
respect. It’s about how you operate in a
community. Have the talk again. Explain
how important it is. Make your boundaries clear (clarity is key!). Talk about the
rules of the house so you both know them
and have a say.
– Meredith

You and your wife need to work on your communication issues. Her stonewalling you over
this isn’t cool.

Don’t let your own off-the-charts anxiety add
more tension and conflict to your marriage. I do
not agree with Meredith that this is something
you and your wife need to agree to a solution
about. Meredith has never been married and
sometimes has unrealistic expectations due to
her lack of experience. You need to manage your
own anxiety.

This issue is revealing a deeper communication/
compassion issue with you and your wife. I’m

The Coast with the Most
A BEDROOM OVERLOOKING THE WESTPORT RIVER
HAS AN EASY-TO-ACHIEVE, COASTAL CALIFORNIA VIBE.
BY MARNI ELYSE KATZ
efore Virginia DesRoches began designing the scheme for this
primary bedroom in a Westport summer house, she wanted to
alter what her clients saw out the window. A guest cottage “was
blocking the view of the water, so we flattened its roof,” says the principal designer of Ironwood Studio, based in Fairhaven. The charming
harbor vista, she explains, was imperative to creating a coastal vibe
in the otherwise outdated, cookie-cutter house. Now, the bed faces a
wall of glass that opens onto a deck, and the whole space feels airy.
Plus, the entire look was pulled together using retail finds.

“It wouldn’t feel as dynamic if we covered
the entire room,” DesRoches says.

the landscape, while curvy brass sconces

The Bright Flavors

FOUR SIMPLE DISHES COME TOGETHER IN
THIS MEMORABLE WEEKNIGHT MEAL.
BY CHRISTOPHER KIMBALL

A

Mexican-Style Grilled
Pork Cutlets
MAKES 4 SERVINGS

For our version, we make
a chili-and-garlic-infused
oil and use a portion of it
to season pork tenderloin
cutlets before quickly grilling them. The remaining oil
is made into a sauce. Serve
with cilantro rice (recipe
follows) and refried beans,

or slice into strips and offer warmed corn tortillas,
chopped white onion, and
fresh cilantro for tacos.
The second sides of the
pork cutlets only need to be
grilled for about 1 minute.
Aim to get charring on only
the first sides, then serve
the pork charred side up.
1/3

1

cup extra virgin olive oil
tablespoon ground cumin

Mexican-Style
Grilled
Pork Cutlets.

1
2
2

tablespoon sweet paprika
teaspoons ground coriander
teaspoons packed brown
sugar
4 medium garlic cloves, thinly
sliced
1¼-pound pork tenderloin,
trimmed of silver skin
Kosher salt and ground
black pepper
2 chipotle chilies in adobo,
chopped, plus 2 tablespoons
adobo sauce
1/3 cup lime juice
¼ cup finely chopped fresh
cilantro

In a small, microwave-safe
bowl, combine the oil, cumin, paprika, coriander, sugar, and garlic. Microwave

on high until the garlic is
softened, about 1 minute.
Measure 3 tablespoons of
the seasoned oil, including
some of the solids, into a
large baking dish.
Cut the tenderloin in
half crosswise, then cut
each piece in half lengthwise. Using a meat pounder, pound each piece to an
even ƒ-inch thickness,
then place in the baking
dish, turning to coat on all
sides with the oil mixture.
Cover and refrigerate while
you make the sauce and
prepare the grill.
Into the remaining oil
mixture, whisk ¾ teaspoon
salt and ½ teaspoon pep-

per with the chilies, adobo
sauce, lime juice, and cilantro. Set aside.
Prepare a charcoal or gas
grill. For a charcoal grill,
ignite a large chimney of
coals, let burn until lightly
ashed over, then distribute
evenly over one side of the
grill bed; open the bottom
grill vents. For a gas grill,
turn all burners to high.
Cover and heat the grill for
5 to 10 minutes for charcoal or about 15 minutes

t Milk Street, we’re big fans of ingredients
that do most of the work for you,
and Mexico is overflowing with them. A
cumin-spiced marinade for quick-cooking
pork cutlets does double duty once we turn it into
a sweet-savory sauce. A vibrant puree of cilantro,
shallot, lime, and jalapeño amps up simple white rice;
to preserve the bright green color and flavor, we stir
it in after cooking. Chili-lime vinaigrette balances the
sweetness of mango in a simple salad of crispy jicama.
And a blender makes dessert easy with our Mexican
sweet corn cake.

about 2 minutes. Using
tongs, flip each piece and
cook for 1 minute. Transfer
browned side up to a platter. Stir the sauce to recombine, then drizzle 1 tablespoon over each cutlet. Tent
with foil and let rest for 5
minutes. Serve with the remaining sauce on the side.

Cilantro Rice

When the rice is done, remove the pan from the heat,
lift the cover, then drape a
kitchen towel over the pan.
Replace the cover and let
stand for 5 minutes.
Using a fork, gently
fluff the rice. Add the cilantro puree and lime juice,
then gently fold in with a
rubber spatula. Serve with
lime wedges.

¼ teaspoon table salt
2 large eggs, plus 2 large
egg yolks
½ cup grape-seed or other
neutral oil
Powdered sugar, to serve

MAKES 4 SERVINGS

This colorful side dish can
be turned into a light main
by topping it with fried
eggs.
Don’t fluff the rice immediately after cooking. Covering the pan with a towel
and letting the rice rest
for 5 minutes prevents the
grains from turning mushy
when the cilantro puree is
folded in.
1½ cups long-grain white rice,
rinsed and drained
Kosher salt
2 cups lightly packed fresh
cilantro leaves and tender
stems, coarsely chopped
1 jalapeño chili, stemmed,
seeded, and roughly chopped
3 scallions, roughly chopped
3 medium garlic cloves, peeled
2 tablespoons extra virgin
olive oil
1 teaspoon lime juice, plus lime
wedges, to serve

In a medium saucepan set
over high heat, stir together
the rice, 2 cups of water,
and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring
to a simmer, then cover, reduce to low, and cook until
the liquid is absorbed, 15 to
20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a blender,
puree until smooth ¼ cup
water, 1 teaspoon salt, and
the cilantro, jalapeño, scallions, garlic, and oil, about
1 minute. If necessary, add
additional water 1 teaspoon
at a time to reach a smooth
consistency.

Jicama and Mango
Salad With Chili-Lime
Vinaigrette
MAKES 4 TO 6 SERVINGS

Jicama is a root vegetable
with a mild, refreshing flavor and a light, crisp texture
that shreds nicely. To peel
the jicama, use a paring
knife to cut into chunks and
peel each piece (the skin
can be difficult to remove
with a vegetable peeler).
For this salad, choose
a firm, slightly underripe
mango, as a ripe one will be
too soft to shred.
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons lime juice
½ teaspoon ground allspice
Kosher salt
1 or 2 Fresno or jalapeño chilies,
stemmed, halved, and thinly
sliced
12 ounces jicama, peeled
and halved
1 firm mango (about 12 ounces;
see headnote), peeled
½ cup lightly packed fresh
cilantro, roughly chopped

In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, lime juice,
allspice and 1 teaspoon salt,
then stir in the chili(es). Using the large holes of a box
grater, shred the jicama,
then the mango, rotating
the mango when you reach
the pit; discard the pit. Add
the jicama, mango, and
cilantro to the bowl, then
toss. Let stand for 20 minutes. Season with salt and

Mexican Sweet Corn Cake
MAKES 8 TO 10 SERVINGS

This simple baked treat is
ubiquitous in Mexican food
markets, street stalls, and
restaurants. Called panqué
de elote, pan de elote, or
pastel de elote, its texture
lands somewhere between
cake and corn bread while
hinting at custard. At La
Cocina de Mi Mamá in
Mexico City, we had it for
breakfast, but it also makes
a casual, homey dessert
when finished with a dusting of powdered sugar.
Cornmeal is not a typical ingredient in panqué
de elote; we add a small
amount to account for the
fact that the fresh Mexican
corn used for making this
type of cake is starchier
and drier than the fresh
corn available in the United
States. If you have more
than 250 grams (1½ cups)
of corn after cutting the kernels from the ears, it’s best

to save the extra for another
use rather than including it
in this recipe; the additional moisture may make the
cake too wet. Yellow corn
yields a cake with a warm
golden hue, but white corn
also works. Avoid frozen
corn — it results in a dense,
gummy texture. Made with
fresh corn, the cake’s crumb
is much lighter and softer.
After adding the flour
mixture to the corn puree,
go easy with the whisking.
Gentle mixing, just until
no pockets of flour remain,
will minimize gluten development so the cake bakes
up tender.
3

medium ears fresh corn,
preferably yellow, husked
¼ cup (36 grams) fine yellow
cornmeal
1 14-ounce can sweetened
condensed milk
¼ cup plain whole-milk yogurt
1¼ cups plus 2 tablespoons
(165 grams) all-purpose
flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons baking powder

Heat the oven to 350 degrees with a rack in the
middle position. Mist a
9-inch round cake pan
with cooking spray. Using
a chef’s knife, cut the kernels from the ears of corn.
Measure 250 grams (1½
cups) of kernels and add to
a blender; if you have extra
corn, reserve it for another
use. To the blender, add the
cornmeal, condensed milk,
and yogurt, then puree until
smooth, 15 to 20 seconds,
scraping down the blender
as needed. Let stand for 10
minutes. Meanwhile, in a
small bowl, whisk together
the flour, cornstarch, baking
powder, and salt.
To the blender, add the
whole eggs and yolks, and
the oil; blend on low until
smooth, 5 to 10 seconds.
Pour the puree into a large
bowl. Add the flour mixture
and whisk just until evenly
moistened and no lumps of
flour remain. Transfer to the
prepared cake pan and bake
until golden and a toothpick
inserted into the center of
the cake comes out clean,
40 to 45 minutes.
Cool in the pan on a wire
rack for 30 minutes. Run
a paring knife around the
pan to loosen the cake, then
invert directly onto the rack
and lift off the pan. Re-invert the cake onto a serving
platter and cool completely,
about 1 hour. Serve dusted
with powdered sugar.

MISS CONDUCT

Facing Fissures
A COUPLE WANTS TO TRAVEL
ALONE, NO FAMILY. PLUS, HOW
TO HEAL A BROKEN FRIENDSHIP.
My wife and I, in our 70s, stopped vacationing with my family years ago, mostly
because of my sister and my son. (She
revels in playing the doting “auntie.”) She
nearly ruined a trip to our favorite destination by insisting on going while ill, and my
son insists on his own way. When she wants
to play Pied Piper and go on a “family”
vacation and I say no, they get put out. They
all insist on a specific reason why (as if I
owed them one)! If I said what I wrote here,
it would cause a rift. How can I get the message across without causing a rift?
B.C. / Naples, Florida
I’m not sure why you’re so averse to
causing a rift with people you don’t seem
to like or respect very much. There’s a
way people talk about people whom they
genuinely love but who drive them crazy,
and then there’s the way you talk about
your family. (Your sister really is your
son’s doting aunt, for example—she’s not
playing a role.)
Your reason is that “at our age, we
know what we enjoy and prefer to travel
on our own.” Repeat until it becomes
boring. Agree with as many of their
rebuttals as you can: “But cousin Glengarryglen will be so disappointed!” “Yes,
that’s too bad.” “But the Upper Peninsula is so beautiful this time of year!”

THE BOSTON GLOBE MAGAZINE

Last fall a close friend got angry with me
for talking over her and checking my phone
once for a text from my pet sitter. The
e-mails went back and forth and misinterpretations ensued. Ultimately, she read a
question I had asked her as sarcasm, became angrier, and cut me off after 10 years
of telling me I was like a sister or cousin. I
still feel hurt and conflicted about returning
to the same cultural/social events. How to
move on, at least within?
Anonymous / Boston
Call her! Call her right now! She knows
your number, and she won’t pick up if
she doesn’t want to. Tell her you love
her, you want to see her in person if
that’s OK, and if not—well, you love her,
that’s all.
I hate this pandemic. I hate what it
did to individuals, to institutions, to
friendships, to families, to countries.
We can repair some of the damage, and
maybe make things more beautiful. I
am not the kind of person to say “fight
it with love,” but we sort of have to right
now. To have compassion for our battered bodies and brains, frayed relationships, mistakes, and missteps.
Why did we used to say “leaner and
meaner” like it was a good thing? Who
wants a lean, mean life?

What’s the worst that could happen if

CAN A MAINE WAY OF LIFE
ENDURE?
Aquaculture is key to the state’s economic growth.
But locals say several proposals for enormous fish-farming
operations will prove ruinous. BY ELLEN RUPPEL SHELL

n a chilly Sunday in June, Sarah Redmond steers her pickup
outside of an old sardine cannery here in Gouldsboro,
Maine, leaps out, and pulls from the truck bed what looks
like lobster traps oozing with slimy, withered vegetable
matter. “I’m doing research on dulse,” she says, about the
tough, purplish seaweed that is higher in protein and lower
in iodine than other varieties. Seaweed is popular in Japan, she says, but
Americans find it too intense. “We sell it mostly as an ingredient and as
seasoning,” she says. “It’s a flavor enhancer, in chips, bread, cereal—you can
sprinkle it on as a barbecue rub. It’s got vitamins, minerals, fiber.”

Sarah Redmond’s small kelp
farm in the Gulf of Maine is one
thing. But giant finfish farms
are quite another.

JULY 25, 2021

17

Wearing thick rubber muck boots, jeans, and
a camouflage baseball cap pulled low over a loose
ponytail, Redmond looks every inch the farmer
she is. But unlike most farmers, her crop is seeded
on ropes strung through 55 acres of saltwater.
Redmond, 40, owns Springtide Seaweed, the nation’s largest organic seaweed farm, based in this
onetime cannery on the shores of Frenchman Bay.
In addition to dulse, she grows sugar kelp, skinny
kelp, and alaria kelp.
Redmond’s farm is part of a state-supported effort to build an edible-seaweed farming industry.
Maine is home to the bulk of the country’s kelp
farms; the state’s seaweed harvest is expected to
grow from 54,000 pounds in 2018 to 3 million
pounds in 2035. It’s an audacious experiment in
a country that does not traditionally eat much
seaweed, but it is seen as essential to bolstering
Maine’s fragile economy.
Driving this investment is fear: Last summer,
the Gulf of Maine recorded its all-time hottest
temperature—69.85 degrees. The Gulf is one of
the fastest-warming bodies of saltwater on the
planet, and the locals know full well that as water temperatures continue to rise, lobsters—by
far the state’s most lucrative fishery—will abandon Maine for cooler Canadian waters. Lobster
brings over $400 million dollars in direct revenue
to Maine each year, and lures visitors from all over
the world to restaurants, seafood shacks, and festivals. But perhaps not for long: In 2018, the Gulf
of Maine Research Institute and several research
partners estimated that by mid-century Maine’s
lobster population will plummet by as much as 62
percent.
To fend off economic disaster, Maine is striving to wean itself from its dependence on lobster,
and on all wild fisheries. It has little choice. Wild
Atlantic salmon all but disappeared from the state
decades ago, as have cod and northern shrimp.
Sea urchins have been harvested to near extinction, and wild clams and mussels are increasingly
scarce. As one wild fishery after another falters, a
growing number of ambitious, far-sighted people
like Redmond see the future of Maine—and in
some sense the future of food—in the cultivation
of water-dwelling plants and animals.
Aquafarming can and does pose real
threats—biodiversity and habitat loss, pollution,
antibiotic overuse, animal welfare and human
rights abuses have all been widely documented,
most recently in the Netflix blockbuster Seaspiracy. These are all pressing and dire concerns.
Still, there is a growing consensus that the world’s
demand for nutrients cannot be sustainably met
through land-based farming or commercial fishing. And that consensus brings opportunity. For
Redmond and many other Mainers, the question
is not whether to farm aquatic plants and animals,
but how to do so in a way that sustains both the
state’s iconic coastline and its fiercely proud and

independent way of life. Answering that question
has pitted sustainable aquafarmers like Redmond
against large industrial-style farms for finfish like
salmon that, many Mainers believe, threaten the
very core of the state’s seafaring heritage.
Redmond directs me into the bow of her
creaky Boston Whaler, revs the 60-horsepower
motor, and speeds through the chop to her farm.
It’s easy to miss, marked only with a sprinkling
of what appear to be lobster buoys. We’re about
a mile offshore, the waves lapping and the air so
clear Acadia’s Cadillac Mountain—at least 5 miles
away—seems almost within reach. Redmond
grabs a winch, expertly snares a line snarled with
kelp just below the surface, and maneuvers it into
the boat.
“Tear off a piece and taste it,” she says.
I do. It’s slick and kind of rubbery. “It’s as salty
as the ocean,” I say as I chew.
“That’s potassium and magnesium salts, not
just sodium,” she says. “Healthier. Everyone should
eat seaweed, and this bay is the perfect place to
grow it—nutrient rich, temperatures between 32
and 59 degrees.” Kelp plants, which reach 15 feet
in length, are grown from fall to early summer,
when the water temperature remains well below
the summer highs.

renchman Bay is a treasure, part of a
larger system of waterways that includes
Flanders Bay, Sullivan Harbor, Youngs
Bay, Taunton Bay and Eastern Bay. It offers both prime fishing and ideal habitat for birds
and seagrass. But because it is served by no large
rivers, the bay’s ability to flush out waste is limited, making its ecosystem highly vulnerable. “Anything that happens anywhere in this bay affects
everything that’s in it or depends upon it,” Redmond says, as she sweeps her arm across the pristine water toward Acadia National Park. “Can you
imagine what an enormous salmon farm would
do to all this? They are gambling with our livelihood, our coastline, and our future.”
“They” are the Norwegian investors behind
American Aquafarms, who have proposed building the world’s largest “closed cage” ocean-based
salmon farm—30 circular pens, each 150 feet in
diameter— on two sites covering 120 acres in the
heart of Frenchman Bay. At full capacity, the annual yield of the farm is projected to be 66 million
pounds, three times the total production of the
state’s only other large salmon farming operation,
run by Canada’s Cooke Aquaculture.
Unlike kelp farms, which exist in harmony with
the local environment, the salmon farm will re-

Policy and Management. He believes Rock Alley
is basically correct: with only five full-time equivalent employees, the department’s ability to fully
enforce regulations or comprehensively inspect
most aquaculture installations is limited.
From Norway, American Aquafarms vice president Eirik Jors tells me that the company’s “cutting-edge” closed-pen technology—built around
a cavernous fabric bag tucked around the pen to
collect debris and ward off pests—will prioritize
fish health and “on average” capture 90 percent
of solid waste, minimizing ocean pollution and
deadly algae blooms. But Lewis notes that the
technologies have not been tested under Maine
conditions, making their potential for harm unknown.
In late 2019, Maine Governor Janet Mills announced a 10-year strategic economic development plan that included aquaculture as a target
industry. Lewis agrees that under the right conditions, aquaculture is an essential industry for
Maine, which has the oldest population of any
state in the nation, and is near the middle economically, with a per capita income of less than
$33,000 a year. “Society is going to have to accommodate aquaculture,” Lewis says. “There may be

some losses, but science has really advanced our
ability to grow things in the ocean.” At stake here,
he says, is what Maine will look like in 20 years.
“Do we want to be the salmon capital of the world,
or do we want to be something else, something
truer to our heritage? The people of Maine aren’t
getting much of a voice in addressing that question.”
Norway is the world standard setter in commercial fish farming, says Henry Sharpe, a former
instructor of ocean engineering at the University
of Rhode Island, and an environmental advocate
who owns waterfront property on Frenchman
Bay. But Norway has strict environmental regulations that include—among other things—limiting the size and density of aquafarming operations. Sharpe says the salmon farm that American
Aquafarms has proposed for Maine will have 20
percent to 60 percent higher density of fish than
is permitted in its home country. Sharpe is also
concerned about the Department of Marine Resources, saying the state’s desire for economic development means “the DMR permitting process is
biased toward the applicant.” He says lack of staffing has led the agency to become “a rubber stamp
for developers.”
Sharpe foresees the potential for some shortterm job growth, but at an existential cost. “Dumping gargantuan amounts of sewage into pristine
water is not going to repair the local economy, it’s
going to destroy it,” Sharpe says.

Aquaculture leases are not just “handed out to anyone who asks,” says
Patrick Keliher, commissioner of the Maine Department of Marine Resources.

arsden Brewer represents the transition Maine is hoping to see. The
64-year-old has spent most of his adult
life as a fisherman, but a few years
ago turned his hand to scallop farming with his
son Robert. I visited Brewer at his home in Stonington, an eminently Instagrammable lobstering
town of roughly 1,000 residents on the southern coast of Deer Isle. Brewer is sympathetic to
the 26 Bar Harbor-area fishermen who signed a
statement of opposition to American Aquafarms’s
salmon farm. That statement prompted the Bar
Harbor Town Council to ask the Department of
Marine Resources for intervenor status, allowing
the town to participate at public hearings about
the Frenchman Bay decision. Their shared concern is that massive farms will erase prime fishing
ground for lobster, scallops, shrimp, and other sea
life due to pollution and other problems.
“For someone growing scallops, this is a very
scary proposition,” Brewer says. “When they say
they are building ‘closed pens,’ I don’t trust it, not
even close. When you get an accumulation of feed
and other waste in the water, you can get big algae blooms in the summer, and those can be toxic.
Scallops hold onto those biotoxins, so that would
spell the end of my business. Not so bad for me,
I’m getting on, but I think of my son and his kids.”
Brewer himself has spoken out against a pro-

posed land-based finfish farm, one of three in
the proposal stage in Maine. Scientists say these
land-based farms, one slated for the former paper mill town of Bucksport, one for the rapidly
gentrifying coastal town of Belfast, and the third
for Jonesport, would be less threatening to open
waters than that of American Aquafarms. Still, as
proposed, these would be enormous, industrialstyle farms that would require huge energy inputs
and generate significant amounts of waste. Even
if treated assiduously, they could damage adjacent
waterways. And unlike the oyster, clam, scallop,
and kelp farms developing along the coast, the finfish farms, though they promise “good jobs,” are
largely foreign owned and offer no guarantee of
sustainable employment or long-term economic
benefit to the state.
Martin Smith, a Duke University seafood economist, questions whether there will be many highwage jobs produced by these farms. Salmon farming “is a very capital-intensive industry,” he says.
“Norway pays its workers well, but it also shifts
most jobs to lower wage countries, like Poland.”
This is also true for wild-caught fish, Smith says:
Wild salmon caught in Alaska is shipped to China to be fileted, then shipped back to the United
States. The shipping costs are trivial compared

The fight over a salmon farm in Frenchman
Bay is really a battle over the future of Maine, says
Sarah Redmond, as she powers us back to shore
from her kelp farm. “If you can put something like
that [salmon farm] in the shadow of Acadia National Park, you can put it anywhere you want in
the state,” she says. She understands the economic
argument for it—“My grandfather worked in a
paper mill, I get it,” she says. But, she adds, “My
dad stayed [in Maine] to work his own land. What
gets me is the state believing salvation comes in
the form of huge corporations. Yes, you may get a
few jobs, but young people won’t come or return to
Maine for a job in a polluting, industrial fish farm.”
The Maine tradition, she says, is people working with natural resources in a community with
others who are doing the same. “That’s what kept
my family here, and that’s what keeps me here. I
can’t imagine living my life any other way.”

A Newspaperman to theEnd
I’ve been a journalist for The Boston Globe for more than 60 years. So when I received the news that
I have only months to live, I sat down to do what came naturally, if painfully: Write a story.

A

S A TEENAGER, I often wondered how my
life would change if I knew that I would die
soon. Morbid, perhaps, but not obsessed.
Just curious. How does a person live with
the knowledge that the end is coming? How
would I tell family and friends? Would I be
depressed? Is there an afterlife? How do you
get ready for death, anyhow?
I’ve taken a college course in Kübler-Ross’s
stages of grief and written papers for philosophy classes about Deists, Darwinists, and the afterlife. Sometimes I agree with one side, sometimes another. I was raised Episcopalian, though I didn’t turn out to be a very good
one. Unlike Roman Catholics, Jews, and atheists, we Episcopalians are very
good at fence-sitting. We embrace all viewpoints, and as a result, we are as
confused as the Unitarians.
Several years ago, in pursuit of a degree at Harvard, I took a seminar in
writing. We had to compose an essay each week and submit it to each classmate, so that each essay underwent scrutiny in class, not only by the professor, but also by 12 colleagues eager for the professor’s approbation.
One week, I imagined that I had been told by doctors that I would die

within a few months. In my essay, I pulled out all the stops. I described
whom and what I’d miss. I hoped for a comfortable afterlife, and wondered
if, after death, I could still hear favorite music, choose savory foods, and
even whether the Globe would arrive on time.
The essay worked, perhaps because even then, at age 70, I was already
an old fogey compared to my classmates. As I approached the classroom, I
noticed a young woman holding the door open for me, and I quick-stepped
so as not to detain her.
“How are you, Jack?” she asked.
“Fine, how are you?”
“No,” she said, tenderly. “I mean, really. How are you?”
I realized at once that she had taken the essay literally.
Fellow students, believing my essay to be truth, were laudatory and compassionate. Throughout the semester, thinking that I soon would die, classmates judged my writing with mercy. I never had the courage to tell them
I was healthful.
Now, however, destiny is about to get even with me.
After a week of injections, blood tests, X-rays, and a CAT scan, I have
been diagnosed with cancer. It’s inoperable. Doctors say it will kill me within a time they measure not in years, but months.

S THE SAYING GOES, fate has dealt me one from the bottom
of the deck, and I am now condemned to confront the question
that has plagued me for years: How does a person spend what he
knows are his final months of life?
Atop the list of things I’ll miss are the smiles and hugs every morning
from my beautiful wife, Geraldine, the greatest blessing of my life. I hate the
notion of an eternity without hearing laughter from my three children. And
what about my 40 rose bushes? Who will nurture them? I cannot imagine
an afterlife without the red of my America roses or the aroma of my yellow
Julia Childs.
We told each of the three children individually. John Patrick put his face
in his hands, racked with sobs. After hanging up the telephone, Jennifer
doubled over and wept until her dog, Rosie, approached to lick away the
tears but not the melancholy. Faith explained over the telephone that, if I
could see her, she was weeping and wondering how she could get along
without her dad. Now, she is on the Internet every day, snorkeling for new
research, new strategies, new medications. My wife cries every morning,
then rolls up her sleeves and handles all doctor appointments and medication. Without her . . . I cannot imagine.
Till now, life’s been grand. I was blessed to write for a newspaper, a ca-

reer H. L. Mencken described as the life of kings. I was a teenager when I
began to work for the Globe as a copy boy in sports, followed by beats as
police reporter, State House reporter, city editor, editorial writer, Washington correspondent, national correspondent, television critic, feature writer,
and ombudsman. My first story was in 1958, so publication of this essay
today marks the eighth decade that my writing has appeared in the Globe.
In every newsroom, death has a full-time job, and so, like most reporters,
I’ve written a lot about it, about murders, suicides, and fatal accidents. I’ve
written too many obituaries for my family, friends, and colleagues.
Not every story about death has been depressing. I interviewed a man
in Florida who was 104 years old. When I arrived at his nursing home, he
was not, as I had imagined, sitting around in a bathrobe, drooling. He had
dressed in a sports jacket, as he did every day, and was reading a book about
Civil War history. I have decided not to lumber through Bruce Catton’s centennial history of the Civil War — 1,680 pages in all — but I did admire that
old man from Florida.
I also interviewed a sweet woman, 101 years old, who was annoyed at
God, and she intended to give him a piece of her mind. Her greatest grief
was not her pending death, but the fact that she had outlived her four sons.
“I can’t imagine what God had against me that he would take them before

DITING THE FINAL DETAILS of one’s life is
like editing a story for the final time. It’s the last
shot an editor has at making corrections, the last
rewrite before the roll of the presses. It’s more painful
than I anticipated to throw away files and paperwork
that seemed critical to my survival just two weeks ago,
and today, are all trash. Like the manual for the TV that
broke down four years ago, and notebooks for stories
that will never be written, and from former girlfriends,
letters whose value will plummet the day I die. Filling
wastebasket after wastebasket is a regrettable reminder
that I have squandered much of my life on trivia.
The final months would be a lot easier if I could be assured that, after death, we’d get a chance to see people
who have died already. I’d like to shake hands with my
best friend, my father, who died in 1972 and
whom I’ve missed every day since. I owe him an
apology. When I was 12, I stole 50 cents from
his trousers, two quarters. The guilt was suffocating, though, and 10 days later I replaced his
50 cents, and I added an extra 25 for interest
and atonement.
The only thing we argued about was politics. He was an ardent Republican. I am a boring liberal. When my son was born in 1994, the
doctor held him by his ankles, upside down, as
they do in movies, and announced that it was
a boy. “I know that,” I said, nervously. “Is he a
Democrat?”
Later that year, at Mount Auburn Hospital,
as my mother neared death, I asked: “Where do
you think we go after death?”
“I don’t know,” she said, voice aquiver, “but
I think I am going on a long trip, and I think I
am going to see your father.”
“If you see Dad, tell him we finally got rid of
that S.O.B. Nixon.”
As usual, she leaped to his defense.
“Don’t talk about your father that way.”

All of us who,
like me, are blessed
with a pause before
death, spend some
time reliving the
better moments.

1.6 cents per paper, plus whatever tips I could finagle.
On the porch in front of my father’s boarding house, I
practiced folding the tabloid Record into thirds, without
creasing it too much, so that when I tossed it high toward a front porch, with a spin, the newspaper would
open flat, with the headline facing the customer as she
opened the door to retrieve it.
I’ve had the privilege of having spent more than 60
years working for newspapers. There was not a day
when it wasn’t a pleasure to go to work. Any doubts I
had about newspapering as a career were dissolved on
my paper route one Friday night in March 1953. I picked
up my bundle of 45 copies of the Record that were tossed
from a truck into the doorway of Berry’s hardware store
and I was startled at the biggest, blackest headline I had
ever seen: “STALIN DEAD.”
Newspaper bag over my shoulder, I began my onehour route, crossing the railroad tracks in Port Norfolk,
a neighborhood where the teenage gang took pride in
calling themselves Port Rats. So eager were
people for their evening newspaper and details
of Stalin’s death that many were waiting for me
on their front porch.
To me, every daily newspaper was a wonder
— all those stories, local, national, global, all
written on deadline, with photographs, analysis, columns, editorials, comics and crossword, not to mention all that news about the
Red Sox, Celtics, and Bruins — if that isn’t a
miracle, what is?
The Stalin story required coordination
among correspondents in Moscow, telegraphers transmitting their stories, and among
others in Boston, at the Record, foreign editors,
photo editors, copy editors, compositors, pressmen, truck drivers and the least significant cog
in the entire process, me, although I was the
luckiest, because it was I who handed the newspaper to the grateful reader, and it was I who
heard the words, “Thank you.”

in the past three months, a loss of 20 pounds.
After decades of turning down desserts, candies, and pastries to control my weight, it now
seems cruel to be pressured to eat more food
for which I have less appetite.
As my life nears the finish line, the list of
things I’ll miss grows.
I’ll miss my homes in Cambridge and Falmouth. I’ll never again see the sun rise over
the marsh off Vineyard Sound, never again see
that little, yellow goldfinch that perched atop a
hemlock outside my window from time to time
so that both of us could watch the tide rise to
cover the wetland.
Never again will I stretch out on the sand
with a drink and stare in amazement at a
sky filled with diamond stars. How is it possible that there could be more than 100 thousand million stars in our Milky Way, let alone
who can say how many millions upon millions
more in other galaxies, and yet, among them
all, there is no planet that supports life? Imagine how newspapers will report that discovery!
I wish the afterlife were arranged so that I
could hear Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 again
and Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos, especially the one in D for two violins and cello. In
the afterlife right away, I’d test whoever’s in
charge immediately by requesting “Till We
Meet Again” with George Lewis, who played
the clarinet with as much dexterity and imagination as Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw,
yet never received the same fame because he was Black.
And then, I hope for a playlist that includes Nina Simone’s “The Laziest
Gal in Town” and everything by Sarah Vaughan, especially “Easter Parade”
with Billy Eckstine, and while we’re at it, let’s throw in Bessie Smith singing
“Nobody in Town Can Bake a Sweet Jellyroll Like Mine.”
All of us who, like me, are blessed with a pause before death, spend some
time reliving the better moments. I enjoy recalling that I played pool against
two of the greatest, Willie Mosconi in Denver, and in Boston, Minnesota
Fats, who was the inspiration for the Jackie Gleason role in The Hustler. I
lost both games, never had a shot. Willie and Fats ran the table, and Fats
did it from a wheelchair.
After I die, I’m not expecting the world, but this business about the afterlife is more complicated than what they describe in the Bible. The experts
say more than 100 billion humans have died. If you’re looking for a buddy
to have a beer, like jazzman Dave McKenna or writer Jerry Murphy or possibly Peter Falk who played Columbo, how are you going to find him in a
mob of 100 billion people?
Speaking of music, if I bump into the great jazzman Earl “Fatha” Hines,
who played with Louis Armstrong and the Hot Five back in the 1920s, you
can bet your life I’m going to remind him that one night in the ’60s, between sets at Sandy’s jazz club in Beverly, I was the short guy who bought
him that Heineken.
The same with Julia Child. One doesn’t “bump” into Julia, exactly, but if
I see her at a local restaurant, if they have local restaurants, I’ll find a way
to mention that I’m the guy who wrote in the Globe that we should run
away together, that I would peel potatoes, cut onions, and do dishes if only

Thomas on his sailboat, The Butterfly.

I could put my feet under her table forever. I’ll recite for Julia the response
she wrote to me in a letter: “How flattering to be invited to run away with
a younger man. However, my husband has a black belt in karate and so, in
the interest of your continued good health, if nothing else, I must decline.”

I

KNOW THAT, AFTER I DIE, I probably ought to forget all the treats
of this life, like Lobster Savannah dinners on an expense account at an
Elysium such as Locke-Ober, and with my luck, there’s probably some
rule against chilled Hendrick’s martinis with a lemon twist. There will be no
more nights of winnowing the hours away listening to Bob Winter’s piano
at the Four Seasons. There’ll be no more lazy afternoons on Boston Harbor
aboard my little sailboat, The Butterfly, and no more surprise telephone
calls from buddies like Dave Manzo in Boston, Alan Pergament in Buffalo,
and Jim Coppersmith in Marblehead, who never hang up without saying,
“I love you, Jack.”
As death draws near, I feel the same uncomfortable transition I experienced when I was a teenager at Brantwood Camp in Peterborough, New
Hampshire, packing up to go home after a grand summer. I’m not sure what
awaits me when I get home, but this has certainly been an exciting experience. I had a loving family. I had a great job at the newspaper. I met fascinating people, and I saw a myriad of worldwide wonders. It’s been full of
fun and laughter, too, a really good time.
I just wish I could stay a little longer.

Reclaiming the Season
BY BETSY VERECKEY

“C

The writer’s first crop of taxi tomatoes.
I imagined how I might accessorize them: with
a spinach salad or an egg-and-cheese sandwich,
maybe a simple slice of fresh mozzarella and a
glass of rosé.
One morning, I woke up to the birds gossiping about the beautiful sunrise. I opened the
door and let my dog out into the yard. The grass
was wet with dew, and the sunlight was already
sneaking through the white pines, the type of
morning my mother would’ve loved.
It always seemed cruel to lose her when I did,
in October, given that autumn was her favorite season. I remember driving to and from the
hospital, marveling at the color of the leaves, my
only comfort.
Each year that followed, I dreaded the anniversary of my mother’s death, but over time, the
season’s splendor stepped in to comfort me, and I

began looking forward to its arrival. Now, I’m so
captivated by the swirl of color around me come
October that I can’t imagine my mother dying at
any other time. When the leaves let go, I do, too.
Susan’s mother died that beautiful July day,
the peak of summer, life in full bloom. While I
couldn’t be there for her mother in that hospital
room, I could keep Susan’s garden alive and plant
a seed for the future—a future where the glory
of summer will bring the comfort she needs, the
way autumn leaves do for me.
I stepped barefoot out into the yard and
picked up the garden hose. And that’s when I saw
it: a small flash of yellow in my pot. My first ripe
tomato.

ome to the hospital and read my
mother one of the stories you’re
working on,” my friend Susan said.
Her mother was dying in intensive
care, as mine had when I was a young woman.
I’d sat at my mother’s bedside in the early hours
of the morning, dreading the moment when her
heart would finally stop.
It didn’t matter that Susan’s mother wasn’t
my mother, or that nearly 20 years had passed
since my lonely nights in that hospital room. “I’ll
be there,” I said, not knowing if that was true. In
the meantime, there was one thing I could do for
Susan: water her garden.
Every summer, her garden beds sprouted with
kale, lettuce, French tarragon, mint for cocktails,
and other delights. Twice a day, I watered Susan’s
vegetables and my baby tomato plant, a yellow
variety called the taxi, a tribute to the 11 years I
lived in New York City.
On a humid, rainy afternoon, Susan had demonstrated how to dig a hole for my tomato plant
and twiddle it with my fingers so that the roots
