A community reels — and looks ahead
Maine lawmaker rethinks
assault weapons. Will state?

LEWISTON — In a campaign ad during the 2018 election, Representative Jared
Golden of Maine, a Democrat,
picked up a black bolt-action
rifle and fired it at a target, hitting a bull’s-eye.
Another ad set to foreboding music one month later accused his Republican rival of
supporting background checks
for gun purchases.
Golden, a tattooed Marine
veteran, has long drawn on his
support for gun rights as one

pillar of his image as a rebel
Democrat who understands
the heavily armed and politically red swath of Maine he
represents. He has broken with
his party on several gun safety
measures, including voting
against an assault weapons
ban last year.
But as he drove from Boston Logan Airport to Lewiston
last Thursday, reeling from the
news that a gunman in his
hometown had just slaughtered 18 people, his thoughts
drifted to his own assault rifles

Israel enters ‘second stage’ of attacks on Gaza
By Patrick Kingsley, Ronen
Bergman, and Thomas Fuller
NEW YORK TIMES

JERUSALEM — Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu said in a televised news conference Saturday that
Israel’s forces had entered the Gaza

Strip, calling it his country’s “second
war of independence” and warning
Israelis to expect a “long and difficult” campaign to eradicate Hamas.
Netanyahu said the troops had
gone into Gaza on Friday evening,
beginning “the second stage of the

war.” The Israeli military has not
publicly described the operation as
an invasion, and released only brief
footage of its advance.
The ground assault in the northern part of the Gaza Strip was

Israel says it is entering ‘second stage’ of war

shrouded in secrecy and ambiguity and accompanied by an
enormous aerial and artillery
bombardment. It was the most
sus tained fighting agains t
Hamas militants since the war
began three weeks ago.
Hamas’s armed wing confirmed Friday night and Saturday afternoon that the battle
with Israeli ground forces had
been joined. Shortly before Netanyahu’s remarks, a spokesperson for the group, Abu Obeida, greeted the relentless airstrikes and the apparent
beginnings of the ground incursion with de fiance. Hamas
would make Israel “taste new
ways of death,” the spokesperson said.
With Gaza’s internet connections and phone lines down,
few Palestinian accounts have
emerged, making it difficult to
assess the extent of the military
action.
Palestinian telecommunication networks blamed Israel’s
bombardment for the widescale communications blackout, which left most people in
Gaza unreachable by phone.
The blackout sparked fear and
panic, according to residents
who were able to reach the outside world, as people struggled
to get information or check on
family and friends.
“The explosions were happening to our left, to our right
— from all directions,” Helmi
Mousa, a Gaza City resident
who huddled with his wife in
their ninth-floor apartment,
said Saturday. The bombardments were so intense overnight, he said, that even amid a
sustained electricity blackout,
their apartment was filled with
the light of explosions.
“Our building was shaking,
swaying back and forth,” added
Mousa, who was reached on his
foreign-registered cellphone,
one of the few connections still
working. “We could hear the
booms, the airplanes, the
strikes.”
The Israeli military said Saturday that warplanes had focused 150 strikes on the vast
networks of tunnels in Gaza,
which present a formidable
challenge to Israel’s stated goal
of dismantling the military and
governing capabilities of
Hamas, the group that controls

The internet and phone blackout in Gaza has made it hard to measure the extent of the destruction from Israeli bombardment.

Gaza.
The chief Israeli military
spokesperson, Rear Admiral
Daniel Hagari, told reporters
Saturday night that the Israeli
military was “gradually increasing its ground activity in the
Gaza Strip and the scale of its
forces.”
“It will take time, and we
will adapt ourselves to developing events and carry out the
war aims,” he said.
From all reports, the next
stage promises to be long and
bloody.
Hamas has constructed a
sprawling network of subterranean pathways and chambers,
some as deep as 130 feet below
ground and packed with weapons and ammunition, and
where the militant group is

holding more than 200 hostages, Israel says.
Saudi Arabia and other Arab
governments have warned that
a full-scale war in Gaza could
be catastrophic for the Middle
East. Tensions have also spiked
between Israel and Turkey in
recent days, particularly over
remarks by Turkish President
Recep Tayyip Erdogan defending Hamas and criticizing Israel for its campaign in Gaza.
For Gaza residents living
above the tunnels, one of the
most frightening propositions
will be how to survive a war
where the ground below them
is part of the battlefield.
Until this weekend, the outside world was receiving updates from Gaza-based journalists and representatives of aid

agencies on the worsening humanitarian conditions in Gaza,
where food, drinking water,
medical supplies, and fuel are
scarce. But the steady deterioration of internet service in the
territory and the sudden collapse of cellular networks Friday have contributed to a much
more opaque picture of the situation on the ground.
A n u m b e r o f Un i t e d Nations agencies have reported
losing contact with their local
staff in Gaza. Jan Egeland,
head of the Norwegian Refugee Council aid group, said it
could no longer reach its 54
staff members in Gaza. “They
flee for their lives with their
families in both the north &
south of a densely populated
place with no escape from the

bombardment,” he wrote on X,
formerly Twitter. One of Gaza’s
cellphone providers, Paltel
Group, said in a statement that
“continuous bombardment”
had severed all remaining fiber-optic connections with the
outside world.
The lack of cellular services
also cut off residents inside the
Gaza Strip from one another.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus,
head of the World Health Organization, said on X that the
blackout was “making it impossible for ambulances to reach
the injured” and that it was not
possible to get patients to safety
in the circumstances.
The trickle of information
that emerged from Gaza on Saturday came from those with
satellite phones and other de-

vices not reliant on the local
networks.
On the Al Jazeera news network, which continued to
broadcast from Gaza on Saturday, a spokesperson for the
Hamas-controlled Gaza Health
Ministry read a statement saying that 377 Palestinians had
been killed by Israeli strikes in
“recent hours,” raising the ministry’s death toll in the territory
to 7,703, of which 3,195 were
reported to be children.
Although the ministry has
released information identifying the victims, the figures
could not be independently verified.
The UN estimates that about
1 million of the more than 2
million residents of Gaza have
been displaced from their
homes.
Israeli has acknowledged
the civilian toll of its airstrikes,
but says it cannot reach its ultimate goal of ousting Hamas
and its leadership without dismantling a network that operates above and below ground,
often woven into residential areas.
One of those civilian areas,
Israel said Friday, is al-Shifa
hospital, where more than
60,000 people are sheltering in
the expectation it will provide
refuge from the bombing. But
Israel contends it hides an important Hamas command center, making it a prime military
target.
“This is where they direct
rocket attacks, command
Hamas forces,” Hagari said at a
news conference in Tel Aviv on
Friday.
Over the past week, under
the accumulated trauma of Israeli airstrikes, Gaza residents
say the bombs come mostly
without warning and hit indiscriminately, leading to widespread hopelessness and the
feeling that imminent death is
inevitable.
“You can’t imagine the feeling,” said Nayrouz Qarmout, a
Palestinian author who lives in
the Gaza Strip. “ You are not
safe. All places are targets, so
you think of dying at any
time.”
In Gaza City, Helmi said
most of his neighbors have fled.
Of the nearly 20 families who
lived in his building before the
war, four remain. “We’d rather
die in our homes,” he said.

KIDNAPPED BY HAMAS

Hostage families say operation in Gaza could endanger captives
By Kevin Sieff
WASHINGTON POST

TEL AVIV — Ayelet Samerano, whose 21-year-old son Jonathan was abducted by Hamas
on Oct. 7, watched on television
Friday night as Israel’s ground
a n d a e r i a l att a c k s o n G a z a
ramped up.
The expanded military operation with ground troops
caught her by surprise. Israeli
officials had not warned the
families of more than 200 hostages held by Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that controls Gaza, that the military was
intensifying its siege, despite
concerns that the captives could
be imperiled by the government's offensive.
Samerano weighed two deep
urges: one for her son’s release
and the other for the decimation of the group that kidnapped him as he fled a music
festival in southern Israel.
“I'm not afraid of what my
government does in Gaza,” she
said. “I’m afraid of what Hamas
can do to Israel.”
Samerano told herself that
her son would be safe during
the Israeli offensive — that
Hamas, she believed, was keeping the hostages underground
to protect them. “For Hamas,”
she said, “the hostages are power.”
But not all of the families of
the hostages — who span Israel’s political spectrum — were as
cer tain that their relatives
would be protected in an Israeli
ground invasion or a widening
bombing campaign. Israeli military spokesman Rear Admiral
Daniel Hagari said Friday that
the confirmed number of hostages was 229.

TAMIR KALIFA/NEW YORK TIMES

Supporters of the hostages demonstrated at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art plaza last week.
“Maybe they kept them alive
until now,” said Imbal Zach, 38,
the cousin of Tal Shoham, who
was taken hostage with his wife
and two children, 3 and 8, after
Hamas militants attacked the
Beeri kibbutz. Zach now worries that Hamas’s calculations
on the captives could change
because of the Israeli ground
operations and perhaps “they
did something to them.”
Shoham’s family, like the
others, had been assigned a government representative who
checks in periodically. But those
meetings almost never yielded
any answers to the families’
questions about the government’s plans to free the captives.

So far, Hamas has released
four hostages.
And now there was a new
question: How would the Israeli
government keep the hostages
safe as it conducted its most aggressive bombing campaign of
Gaza in more than a decade?
Yonatan Shamriz, whose
brother Alon was kidnapped
from the Kfar Azza kibbutz, said
he had stopped believing on
Oct. 7 in the possibility that Israel could coexist with Hamasled Gaza. He found himself
craving a military response. But
the timing was important, he
said: A military operation on
the ground should begin only
after the hostages are released.
“Then Gaza should be lev-

eled,” he said.
Mo r e t h a n 1 , 4 0 0 p e o p l e
were killed in the Oct. 7 attacks,
according to the Israeli government. Gaza’s Ministry of Health
said Saturday that more than
7,700 people have been killed
during Israel’s militar y response. It’s a campaign that has
laid waste to entire neighborhoods, displaced more than 1
million people, cut off Gaza
from internet and cellphone
networks, and pushed the territory's health-care system to the
brink of collapse.
The families of Israeli host a ge s h av e f o r m e d a g r o u p
called the Hostages and Missing
Families Forum. They communicate constantly on a What-

sApp group, which was active
throughout Friday night’s military operation in Gaza. The
families debated the risks of a
ground invasion as it intensified.
“We have about 200 different opinions,” said Danny Elgarat, 63, whose brother Itzik was
abducted from the Nir Oz kibbutz.
The group released a statement on Saturday expressing
concern about the impact of the
military operation on the hostages.
“This night was the most terrible of all nights. It was a long
and sleepless night, against the
backdrop of the major [Israel
Defense Forces] operation in
the Strip, and absolute uncertainty regarding the fate of the
hostages held there, who were
also subject to the heavy bombings,” the statement said.
On Saturday, more than a
dozen families of hostages gathered in central Tel Aviv and demanded a meeting with Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. Some family members
held signs that read “POW exchange now” and “At any cost.”
Elgarat held a sign with photos of his brother and the message: “Bring him home now.”
Yet, he believed strongly in
an assertive military response
in Gaza. Watching the news of
the operation on Friday night,
he said, “I was satisfied.
“If we don't defeat Hamas,
Israel will be defeated,” he said.
Later on Saturday, the group
of hostage families issued another statement: plans to remain at the gate of a government building in Tel Aviv until

Netanyahu and Gallant agreed
to meet with them.
“We expect the prime minister and defense minister to
meet with us today, look us in
the eye, and give a clear answer
to the question,” the statement
said. “Does the escalation of
military activity in Gaza endanger the well-being of the 229
hostages?”

WAR IN THE MIDEAST
HAMAS TACTICS

Gaza tunnels loom large
for Israel’s ground forces
By Adam Goldman,
Helene Cooper,
and Justin Scheck
NEW YORK TIMES

JERUSALEM — Just after
midnight on Tuesday, the Israeli
Defense Forces announced they
had struck a tunnel that allowed
Hamas to “infiltrate Israel
through the sea.”
The sea tunnel was unusual,
a sign that Hamas has designed
deadly new ways to attack Israel.
The armed group has miles of
tunnels under the Gaza Strip — a
US official likened them to “miniature cities” — but the exit to
this one was on a beach.
Among the possible reasons
Israel delayed sending troops into Gaza after the Hamas attack
Oct. 7, one stands out, military
experts say: the tunnels.
Underneath the tiny coastal
strip and its more than 2 million
people is a vast network of subterranean pathways, rooms,
cells, and even roads for vehicles. Hamas, which oversees Gaza, is believed to hide weapons,
fighters, and even command
centers in the warren of underground chambers.
Overnight on Saturday, Israeli fighter planes struck 150 underground targets in the northern Gaza Strip, the Israeli military said.
For the Israeli forces who
take part in any large-scale
ground invasion, one of the most
daunting challenges will be the
tunnels, which Hamas has spent
years refining. For the people
who live above the tunnels, one
of the most frightening propositions will be how to survive the
subterranean warfare.
“We should have no illusions
about how this is going to be,”
said General Joseph Votel, former leader of US Central Com-

mand, which is responsible for
the Middle East. “It will be
bloody, brutal fighting.”
In an interview, he recalled
the final days of the battle for the
Iraqi city of Mosul, where Islamic State group fighters hid in a
series of tunnels in 2017. “Our
Iraqi soldiers were clearing out,
using bulldozers, ISIS fighters
who were literally dug into the
rubble,” he said. “It was very,
very brutal.”
Tunnels have been a part of
life in Gaza for years, but they
sharply multiplied after 2007,
when Hamas took control of the
enclave and Israel tightened its
blockade. Palestinians responded by building hundreds of tunnels to smuggle in food, goods,
people, and weapons.
T he tunnels cos t Ha ma s
about $3 million each, according
to the Israeli military. Some are
made with prefabricated concrete and iron, and have medical
rooms for providing aid to
wounded fighters. Others have
spaces 130 feet below ground
where people can hide for
months.
In Israel, people often refer to
the tunnel system as “lower Gaza” or the “metro.”
Yocheved Lifshitz, an 85year-old woman who was held
hostage by Hamas for 17 days
this month, described being
marched for miles through a
“spiderweb” of tunnels. She told
reporters Tuesday that Hamas
militants led her through the
wet and humid underground
corridors to “a big hall where
some 25 kidnapped were concentrated.”
After two or three hours, they
put five people from her kibbutz
in a separate room, she said.
At a news conference Friday,
Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, an

Israeli military spokesperson,
accused Hamas of building tunnels and other facilities underneath al-Shifa hospital in Gaza
City, the territory’s largest medical center. He played an intercepted audio recording and displayed an illustration of the subterranean complex.
Votel, who visited a tunnel
controlled by the Lebanese militia Hezbollah near Israel’s border, said he was “taken aback at
the level of effort that is involved
in creating these things.”
“This wasn’t just holes in the
ground. It was an architecture,”
he said. “They were linked to
rooms and built in a way to withstand strikes to the surface.”
As Hamas expanded the system, it concealed the entrances
to the tunnels in houses and other small structures on Egypt’s
side of the border, said Joel
Roskin, a geology professor at
Bar-Ilan University in Israel who
studied tunnels during his time
in the Israeli military.
A decade ago, Egypt undertook an effort to destroy the tunnels along its border, dumping
sewage into some and leveling
houses that concealed entrances,
Roskin said.
Israel has limited visibility into tunnel activity on the Egyptian side of the border, he added.
Many of the networks end in
Northern Sinai, but the Egyptian
government has rarely allowed
Israeli researchers or government officials to visit the area, so
it is not clear how many crossborder tunnels remain.
On Oct. 14, Hamas released a
video showing a group of fighters popping out of tunnels and
staging a mock attack on Israeli
tanks. To music that could have
been part of a “Call of Duty”
soundtrack, the fighters then

Palestinians inspected damage after an Israeli airstrike in Khan Yunis, in the Gaza Strip.

haul away pretend Israeli prisoners extracted from the tanks
and dump them, head first, into
the tunnels, before slipping back
into the underground passageways themselves.
“ This is what awaits you
when you enter Gaza,” the video
says at the end.
Daphne Richemond-Barak, a
tunnel warfare expert at Reichman University in Israel, said
she doubted anyone knows how
many miles of tunnels Hamas
has. The group’s leader in Gaza,
Yahya Sinwar, said in 2021 that
there were 310 miles of tunnels
in Gaza.
Typically, the tunnels that
Hamas fighters move through
are around 6 1/2 feet tall and 3
feet wide, experts said. The narrow width can be a nightmare
for soldiers who have to move
single file through them.
“For defensive purposes, it is
an operational challenge for the
IDF,” Richemond-Barak said.
Soldiers and officers who
have worked on clearing tunnels
in Gaza in the past say that militaries usually refrain from sending people into them. “Hamas
h a s p r e p a r e d i t s t u n n e l s ,”

Richemond-Barak said. “They’re
probably booby-trapped.”
There is no “probably” about
booby traps, said Colonel Amir
Olo, former commander of the
elite combat engineering unit
known as Yahalom, which is in
charge of dismantling tunnels.
Olo was part of an Israeli effort
in 2014, called Protective Edge,
with a stated aim of destroying
Gaza’s tunnel system during a
two-week ground invasion.
Booby traps — usually bombs
that are either remotely triggered or explode when something crosses a trip wire — are
ever present, he said. In 2013,
six Israeli soldiers were wounded, and one was blinded, when a
booby trap exploded as they
tried to shove a camera into a
Hamas tunnel.
Soldiers who have cleared
tunnels say that going into one is
the last thing they want to do.
“By using the tunnels, the enemy
can surround and attack us from
behind,” Olo said in an interview.
Ben Milch, an Israeli American who cleared tunnels with
the Israeli military during the
2014 Gaza War, said his unit

came under fire repeatedly while
working to destroy about 13 tunnels.
At first, Milch said, he and
other soldiers were unsure
where to look for entrances,
which were often in densely
populated areas near mosques
and houses. But then, the troops
began to spot telltale signs, such
as pulley systems next to buildings.
Air strikes and remote-powered sensors can destroy tunnels, but eventually Israel will
have to send in people if they
want assurance that a network
has been fully dismantled, military officials said.
And the sea tunnels represent a dangerous future trend,
Richemond-Barak said.
In 2018, Israel destroyed one
that extended meters into the
sea, perhaps the first of that type
discovered. Hamas divers could
have used the tunnel to cross into Israeli waters undetected.
“Hamas is continuously innovating in the realm of subterranean warfare and exploiting its
knowledge and know-how in
new, novel ways,” RichemondBarak said.

Desperate Ukraine pushing US for ‘Franken’ weapons
Improvements
in air defense
needed for winter
By Lara Jakes
NEW YORK TIMES

BRUSSELS — With winter
approaching, Ukrainian officials are desperate for more air
defenses to protect their power
grids from Russian strikes that
could plunge the country into
freezing darkness.
So desperate, in fact, that
they are willing to experiment
with a monster of a weapons
system that was the brainchild
of Ukraine and is now being
pursued by the Pentagon.
US officials call it the FrankenSAM program, combining
advanced, Western-caliber, surface-to-air missiles with refitted
Soviet-era launchers or radars
that Ukrainian forces have on
hand. Two variants of these improvised air defenses — one
pairing Soviet Buk launchers
and American Sea Sparrow
missiles, the other marrying Soviet-era radars and American
Sidewinder missiles — have
been tested over the past several months on military bases in
the United States and are set to
be delivered to Ukraine this
fall, officials said.
A third, the Cold War-era
Hawk missile system, was displayed on Ukraine’s battlefield
this past week for the first time,
in an example of what Laura
Cooper, a senior US defense official, had described this month
as a FrankenSAM “in terms of
resurrection” — an air defense
relic brought back to life.
Together, the FrankenSAMs
are “contributing to filling critical gaps in Ukraine’s air defenses, and this is the most important challenge that Ukraine faces today,” said Cooper, deputy
assistant secretary of defense
for Russia, Ukraine, and Eurasia policy.
Almost since the start of the
war, Ukraine has tinkered with
commingling offensive weapons — its aging Soviet-era

Russian strikes have targeted Ukraine’s energy infrastructure throughout the war.
stockpiles and the ones it has
gotten from the West — in unexpected but, in many cases,
successful ways. US military officials spoke admiringly last
year of Ukraine’s ability to
“MacGyver” its arsenal, a metaphor for the 1980s TV show in
which the title character uses
simple, improvised contraptions to get himself out of sticky
situations.
The FrankenSAMs project is
now trying to do the same for
Ukraine’s air defenses.
Over the past 20 months, the
West has supplied a range of air
defenses to Ukraine, including
state-of-the-art Patriot and
IRIS-T systems, tanks fitted
with antiaircraft guns and more
than 2,000 shoulder-fired
Stinger missiles.
Last week, Chancellor Olaf
Scholz of Germany announced
that his government would provide Ukraine with three more
batteries of sophisticated air defenses, including another Patriot system, as part of what he
called a nearly $1.5 billion
“winter package.”
“As winter approaches, we

are putting up a prot ec tive
shield against renewed Russian
attacks on energy, water, and
heating infrastructure,” Scholz
said Tuesday. “This is because it
is becoming apparent that Russia will once again use cold and
energy shortages as a weapon
against the civilian population.”
The air defenses are part of
the close to $100 billion in military aid that Ukraine has received from allies since Russia’s
full-scale invasion in February
2022. The United States, which
has sent more funding for
weapons than any other single
nation, is considering donating
$60 billon more as part of a
n e w B i d e n a d m i n i s t rat i o n
emergency spending plan.
On Thursday, the administration announced another
$150 million in military aid for
Ukraine, a package of weapons
that included additional munitions for three kinds of air defense systems — including Sidewinder missiles for one of the
FrankenSAMS.
Now that it has Wes tern
tanks, armored vehicles, air defenses, and long-range attack

missiles in its arsenal, and with
fighter jets on the way, officials
said Ukraine largely needs
more of the same weapons it
has received as opposed to systems that have yet to be sent.
FrankenSAMs are a mix of
both. The program’s origins
date to late last year, when
Ukrainian officials asked allies
to help them find missiles for
around 60 Soviet-era Buk

“We realized we needed to
come up with some solutions,”
said Oleksandra Ustinova, chair
of a commission in Ukraine’s
Parliament that oversees arms
transfers from the West. She
said Ukrainian officials offered
to jury-rig the weapons themselves, in the interest of time,
“because for the winter period
we need desperately the air defenses, and this is what is going
to be used.”
But American engineers insisted on doing the work, and
they needed more than seven
months to test and approve the
mashup after the Pentagon
agreed in January to provide
Sea Sparrow missiles for the
project. The first few refurbished Buk launchers and missiles arrived in Ukraine only recently, Ustinova said.
She said Ukraine was prepared to send 17 more Buk
launchers to the United States
to be refitted, but American engineers had been able to turn
around only five each month.
Ukraine has also had to wait
for the older Hawk systems to
get up and running after they
were initially pledged by Spain
in October 2022. A month later,
the United States said it would
pay to refurbish older Hawk
missiles for the donated Spanish systems. But at least some of
them were delivered to Ukraine
without the necessary radar

Ukraine has tinkered with
commingling offensive weapons —
its aging Soviet-era stockpiles and the
ones it has gotten from the West.
launchers and radars that were
sitting idle in Kyiv’s arsenal.
Knowing it would be difficult
for the West to obtain Russianmanufactured munitions to fit
the Buk systems, the Ukrainians instead suggested refitting
the launchers to use NATO-caliber anti-aircraft missiles donated by the United States.

equipment. That took another
nine months to arrive.
By Monday night, the
Hawks were fully operational,

systems, the commander of
Ukraine’s air forces, Lt. Gen.
Mykola Oleshchuk, said on
Telegram. Hitting 100% of the

targets “is not easy, but we will

strengthening our air defense,”
Oleshchuk wrote.
Another creation — an improvised ground launcher that
uses Soviet-era radars to fire
old American missiles that are
usually used on fighter jets —
was revealed in tandem with a

package that the Pentagon announced on Oct. 11.

part of the improvised groundlaunching system, which Cooper previewed in Brussels as “a
real innovation” that she said
would help speed air defenses
to Ukraine, “instead of it being,
you know, years and years of
development time.” It is not
clear precisely when it will arrive in Ukraine.
US defense officials and engineers are also still testing

the system this month, conducted at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, successfully hit the drone it had
targeted. The system is scheduled to be sent to Ukraine this
winter, the official said, accompanied by donated missiles and
other Patriot parts from multiple allies.
Can Kasapoglu, a defense
analyst for the Hudson Institute in Washington, praised the
idea of integrating Soviet-era
equipment with more sophisticated Western missiles as a way
to help Ukraine “maintain its
arsenal for the long war ahead.”
It also “provides an opportunity to put weapons that are
collecting dust on NATO capitals’ shelves,” Kasapoglu said,
“into practical use.”

injury at the Meydan-E Shohada, or Martyrs’ Square, Metro
station in southern Tehran.
“Unfortunately, the brain
damage to the victim caused her
to spend some time in a coma
and she died a few minutes ago,”
the IRNA report read. “According to the official theory of Armita Geravand’s doctors, after a
sudden drop in blood pressure,
she suffered a fall, a brain injury,
followed by continuous convulsions, decreased cerebral oxygenation and a cerebral edema.”
What happened in the seconds after Armita Geravand entered the train on Oct. 1 remains
in question. While a friend told
Iranian state television that she
hit her head on the station’s platform, the soundless footage
aired by the broadcaster from
outside of the car is blocked by a
bystander. Just seconds later,
her limp body is carried off.
Iranian state TV’s report,
however, did not include any
footage from inside the train itself and offered no explanation
on why it hadn’t been released.
Geravand’s parents appeared
in state media footage saying a
blood pressure issue, a fall, or
perhaps both contributed to
their daughter’s injury.
Activists abroad have alleged
Geravand may have been
pushed or attacked for not wearing the hijab. They also demanded an independent investigation
by the United Nations’ fact-finding mission on Iran, citing the
theocracy’s use of pressure on
victims’ families and state TV’s
history of airing hundreds of co-

erced confessions.
The Hengaw Organization
for Human Rights, which reports on abuses in Iran’s western
Kurdish region and earlier published a photograph of Geravand
in a coma, renewed its calls Saturday for an independent international investigation, citing
“the practice of the Islamic Republic in concealing the truth.”
The Oslo-based group Iran
Human Rights similarly called
for an investigation.
Geravand’s injury and subsequent death also comes as Iran
has put its morality police —
whom activists implicate in
Amini’s death — back on the
street, and as lawmakers push to
enforce even stricter penalties
for those flouting the required
head covering. Internationally,
Geravand’s injury sparked renewed criticism of Iran’s treatment of women and of the mandatory hijab law.
On Saturday, US Deputy Special Envoy for Iran Abram Paley
wrote online that he was mourning Geravand's death.
“Iran’s state-sponsored violence against women & girls has
been devastating for so many
families in Iran & abroad,” he
wrote.
Amini died in a hospital on
Sept. 16, 2022, after she was detained by Iranian morality police
on allegations of improperly
wearing the hijab. Suspicions
that she was beaten during her
arrest led to mass protests that
represented the largest challenge to Iran’s theocratic government since the revolution.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — An Iranian teenage girl
injured weeks ago in a mysterious incident on Tehran’s Metro
while not wearing a headscarf
has died, state media reported
Saturday.
The death of Armita Geravand comes after her being in a
coma for weeks in Tehran and
after the one-year anniversary of
the death of 22-year-old Mahsa
Amini, which sparked nationwide protests at the time.
Geravand's Oct. 1 injury and
now her death threaten to reignite that popular anger, particularly as women in Tehran and
elsewhere still defy Iran's mandatory headscarf, or hijab, law as
a sign of their discontent with
Iran’s theocracy.
“Armita’s voice has been forever silenced, preventing us
from hearing her story,” wrote
the New York-based Center for
Human Rights in Iran. “Yet we
do know that in a climate where
Iranian authorities severely penalize women and girls for not
adhering to the state’s forced-hijab law, Armita courageously appeared in public without one.”
It added: “As long as the Iranian government enforces its
draconian mandatory hijab law,
the lives of girls and women in
Iran will hang in the balance,
vulnerable to severe rights violations, including violence and
even death.”
Iran’s state-run IRNA news
agency reported Geravand’s
death, without noting the wider
unrest surrounding the headscarf law. Geravand suffered her

DHAKA, Bangladesh — Police in Bangladesh’s capital fired
tear gas to disperse supporters of
the main opposition party who
threw stones at security forces
during a massive rally demanding the resignation of Prime
Minister Sheikh Hasina and the
transfer of power to a nonpartisan caretaker government to
oversee general elections next
year.
At least one policeman died
and dozens of others were injured, alongside scores of opposition supporters, police and witnesses said.
Dhaka police spokesman Faruk Hossain told the Associated
Press that violence late Saturday
raged in at least 10 spots in Dhaka, where security forces confronted opposition activists who
attacked them, and also vandalized and torched vehicles.
An opposition spokesman,
Zahiruddin Swapan, said more
than 1 million activists joined
their rally, but Hossain put the
number at about 200,000.
The violence broke out at the
Kakrail area in Dhaka when activists of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party led by former prime
minister Khaleda Zia allegedly
attacked a bus carrying the ruling Awami League’s members to
a separate rally blocks away, witnesses and media reports said.
Footage on the Somoy TV station showed a roadside police
box on fire, torched vehicles, and
shattered glass from a building.
Violence spread by Saturday afternoon as security officials fired
sound grenades and tear gas at
the rally venue where Zia’s supporters chanted anti-government slogans.
Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir,
secretary general of Zia’s party,

announced a daylong general
strike across the country on Sunday, accusing security forces of
ruining a “peaceful” rally.
Ekattor TV station reported
that a police hospital also was attacked. An Associated Press
team at the scene said that violence had spread in the area and
many people took cover in nearby alleys.
The ruling party had earlier
warned that any attempt to trigger violence would be met with
force.
Authorities deployed about
10,000 police while paramilitary
border guards were also seen
near the opposition’s rally site.
In the southeastern district of
Chattogram, Hasina criticized
the opposition for holding the
rally, saying that Zia’s party was
attempting to derail her government’s development agenda.
“ Today BNP [Zia’s party]
wants to oust the government.
They are giving various types of
threats to launch a movement.
. . . No threat will work,” she told
a huge rally at Anwara in Chattogram, where she inaugurated an
underwater tunnel.
The opposition says it is attempting a final push to remove
Hasina as the Election Commission prepares to announce the
country’s 12th national election,
expected to be held in January.

The rivalry between Hasina
and Zia has been ongoing for decades, and Hasina’s government
has been under pressure for
months as the opposition has
held largely peaceful anti-government demonstrations.
Alamgir, secretary-general of
Zia’s party, said it would continue to push for the resignation of
Hasina’s administration and the
installation of a caretaker government.
“We don't trust this government. They must go first to hold
a free and fair election. Otherwise they would rig the election,”
he said in a recent interview
with the Associated Press.
Hasina hopes to return to
power for a fourth consecutive
t e r m a n d s ay s t h e e l e c t i o n
should be held under her government’s supervision as specified in the constitution.
The US State Department
said in September it was taking
steps to impose visa restrictions
on individuals responsible for
undermining the democratic
election process in Bangladesh.
They include members of law
enforcement, the ruling party,
and the opposition.
The imposition of visa restrictions followed previous
measures including restrictions
on the country's elite anti-crime
force.

Residents say
government must
do more after Otis
By Emiliano Rodríguez

NEW YORK TIMES

ACAPULCO, Mexico — The
tourists were bused out of Acapulco to find relief as far away as
Mexico’s capital. But thousands
of residents were left behind to
deal with the chaos and destruction of Hurricane Otis, which
had turned their paradise into a
wasteland.
Three days after the Category
5 storm came ashore in Mexico,
residents Saturday were navigating streets coated in broken
glass, uprooted trees, and fallen
telephone poles. People throughout Acapulco were searching
ransacked stores for water and
other sustenance. Others were
using amateur radio to try to
find loved ones. And many were
pleading for basic resources
from Mexico’s leaders.

“The government is not helping,” said Roberto Alvarado, 45,
after arguing with a military sergeant giving out just one box of
food and four bottles of water to
each household.
Alvarado said that was not
nearly enough amid the level of
desperation that had prompted
people in Acapulco to loot grocery stores.
“They loot because they want
to eat,” he said. “Not a single
store is open to buy food, not a
single tortillería.”
Otis, the most powerful hurricane on record to hit Mexico’s
Pacific Coast, unleashed hours of
terror, shocked meteorologists
and government officials with its
intensity, left the city effectively
isolated from the outside world,
and killed at least 39 people, including 29 men and 10 women,
according to Mexican officials on
Saturday. Residents expect the
death toll to rise.
Those who survived the
storm — 850,000 people had
called the city of Acapulco, in
Guerrero state, home before the
hurricane — questioned how
long it would take for their government to provide basic resources, let alone rebuild. Others
asked whether any other precautions could have been taken to
avoid the widespread destruction.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who briefly visited
the scene, has promised his nation an effective response to the
hurricane. About 10,000 armed
forces were deployed to the area,
and some were seen Friday shoveling debris from streets and
marching down the beachfront’s
main avenue in an overt display
of the government’s response.
Military planes carrying food
and water began landing Thursday at an air force base, taxiing
to a hangar damaged by the
storm. Trucks carrying military
and National Guard officers traversed neighborhoods to distribute aid to each household; officials said they were rationing
supplies.
As of Friday afternoon, the
military had received more than
7,600 boxes of food and more
than 11,000 liters of water at the
air base in Acapulco, and more

was on the way, said Lieutenant
Karina Sánchez of the Mexican
Army.
A civil protection official said
he had bused more than 140
tourists out of Acapulco to the
city of Chilpancingo, more than
60 miles north, and to the nation’s capital, Mexico City, usually five hours away. But the roads
were jam-packed with vehicles,
and the journey most likely took
much longer.
Forecast models had failed to
predict that the tropical storm
would intensify into a hurricane
within 24 hours, packing winds
of more than 165 miles per hour
and severing power and communication in much of Acapulco,
outages that persisted days after
the storm made landfall.
“The lines are down,” Sánchez said. “But, even so, help is
being sent to the population.”
The scale of the destruction
was daunting. A preliminary
analysis by Moody’s Analytics

‘They loot because
they want to eat.
Not a single store
is open to buy
food, not a single
tortillería.’
ROBERTO ALVARADO,
describing the desperation
after Hurricane Otis

found that the cost of Hurricane
Otis could be compared with
that of Hurricane Wilma, another Category 5 hurricane, which
hit Mexico’s Caribbean coast 18
years ago. Insured losses from
that storm totaled about $2.7
billion in 2005 dollars, official
figures show.
Evelyn Salgado Pineda, governor of Guerrero state, said 80
percent of the hotels in Acapulco
had been damaged by this hurricane, some with their entire
walls peeled off.
The broader business sector
in the city will struggle to recover, according to Héctor Tejada,
president of the Confederation
of National Chambers of Commerce, Services and Tourism.
“Unfortunately, it may be the
case that many businesses can
no longer open their doors due
to lack of financial resources,”
Tejada said.
Residents, however, were focused on their immediate basic
needs — and scrounged to find
supplies. López Obrador acknowledged Friday that many
businesses in the area had been
looted.
Mexico historically has been
internationally praised for its disaster-recovery efforts and its
pool of federal money for disaster relief. Studies found that the
fund had helped to quickly restore health services and eased
bottlenecks in delivering disaster aid. After Hurricane Maria
hit the northeastern Caribbean
in 2017, including Puerto Rico,
Mexico came to the aid of the
United States even as it was recovering from its own disasters.
But López Obrador has faced
criticism for overhauling the pot
of federal money two years ago
in his push for budge t c uts
across the federal government.
He said the fund was being
abused by corrupt officials.

MANAUS — The Negro River,
the major tributary that runs
through the Brazilian Amazon,
has reached historic lows, revealing millennia-old carvings
previously hidden under water.
The engravings deeply etched
into the black rock along the riverbanks represent human faces,
animals, and other figures, and
are thought to be 1,000 to 2,000
years old, archeologists said. Scientists think other rocks at the
site were used to sharpen arrows
and stone tools. The Ponto das
Lajes archeological site is located in the rural area of Manaus,
the largest city and capital of
Amazonas state. The petroglyphs first were spotted in
2010, when another bad
drought struck the region,
but had not been observable
since then before the current
drought. (AP)

SERBIA

Migrants killed at
Hungary border
BELGRADE — Hundreds of Serbian officers were dispatched
Saturday into a border area with
Hungary, where they detained
several people after a shooting
between migrants killed three
people and injured one, police
said. Reports of violence and
gun battles have become common near the border between
Serbia and European Union
member nation Hungary. Thousands of migrants have been
camping in the area, looking for
ways to cross with the help of
people smugglers. Interior Minister Bratislav Gasic, who visited
the area, pledged that “we will
not move from here until every
person responsible for any criminal act or incident is removed.”
Police said they detained two
people Saturday from Kosovo
who are suspected of smuggling
migrants and supplying them
with weapons. (AP)

EGYPT

At least 32 dead
in bus crash
CAIRO — A passenger bus
slammed into a parked vehicle
on a foggy Saturday morning on
a highway linking the Egyptian
capital, Cairo, and the Mediterranean city of Alexandria, killing
at least 32 people, authorities
said. The multi-car pileup,
which set some vehicles ablaze,
left at least 63 others injured,
said the Health Ministry. Local
media reported that the bus was
on its way to Cairo when it hit
the parked vehicle. Other cars
slammed into the bus with some
catching fire. Footage circulating online showed many burned
vehicles on the side of the road
with firefighters extinguishing
the blazes. The state-run daily
al-Ahram reported that 29 vehicles were part of the crash,
which took place at the town of
Nubariya, about 100 miles north
of Cairo. (AP)

INDONESIA

More bodies found
from camp attack
JAYAPURA — Indonesian security forces said Saturday that
they have recovered the bodies
of six traditional gold mining
workers who had been missing
since a separatist attack at their
camp in the restive Papua region
almost two weeks ago. Gunmen
stormed a gold panning camp in
the Yahukimo district of Highland Papua province on Oct. 16,
killing seven workers and setting fire to three excavators and
two trucks, said Faizal Ramadhani, a national police member
who heads the joint security
force. Hours later, a two-hour
shootout took place between
members of the joint security
forces of police and military and
the rebels occupying the camp,
Ramadhani said. The West Papua Liberation Army, the military
wing of the Free Papua Organization, has claimed responsibility for the attack. Eleven workers
who had hid in the jungle were
rescued safely after Indonesian
security forces cleared the camp.
However, they only found one
body, and the six other victims
had been declared missing
until their rotting bodies were
recovered early Friday near a
river. (AP)

The good, the bad,
and the ugly of
ex-premier’s trove
By Jason Horowitz and
Elisabetta Povoledo
NEW YORK TIMES

ROME — As his political fortunes sank, his legal and love life
tangled, and his age caught up
with him, Silvio Berlusconi
stayed up late in his mansion
outside Milan calling the
hotlines of late-night art shopping television channels.
It didn’t really matter what
the oil painting and antiques
vendors hawked. Landscapes.
Sculptures. Portraits. A fair
share of nudes. Night after
night, and then year after year,
the octogenarian media mogul
and former prime minister who
wanted to have it all tried to buy
it all, amassing an enormous collection of all the mail-order art
he could lay his bleary eyes on.
“He had this project to build
the largest collection in Italy,”
said Giuseppe De Gregorio, a
televendor near Naples who sold
thousands of paintings to Berlusconi. “He didn’t want important paintings. He wanted paintings. It was enough if they were
painted with oil on a canvas.”
Now, months after Berlusconi’s death at age 86, his heirs are
figuring out who gets what in his
sprawling empire. Despite the
understanding among some of
Berlusconi’s dealer friends that
his heirs want to unload the artworks, his family members said
in a statement that they are in
no rush to divide up the estimated 25,000 paintings that one expert who saw the collection believes the mogul spent about $20
million on.
The paintings are now
stashed in an enormous hangar
that critics have characterized as
a sort of Raiders of the Lousy Art
warehouse. The family declined
a request to visit the site.
Berlusconi had collected
some masters over the years, including pieces by Titian and Parmigianino, and the villa he
bought in the 1970s in Arcore,
outside Milan, included a respectable art collection. But his
recent acquisitions consisted of
less notable works.
He emptied De Gregorio’s
store of around 7,000 paintings
and other pieces — ranging in
cost from 100 euros to 2,000
(about $106 to $2,112)— mostly
buying works on the lower end
by living painters. There were
street scenes of Paris and Venice,
battles and fields of flowers, and
lots of Madonnas.
“He loved Napoleon,” De Gregorio said, recalling that Berlusconi bought a painting of the
French emperor reading a letter
and showed him that he put the
work in a room that President
Vladimir Putin of Russia slept in
when he stayed over. The former
prime minister did not shy from
a colorful palette or an excess of
skin. A photo of the warehouse
published in the Italian media
showed a wall of modern-day
nudes, like a giant calendar of
oil-painted Playboy centerfolds.
“A compendium of different
genres,” said Lucas Vianini, a
televendor, art historian and
subsequently reality television
personality, whom Berlusconi
eventually hired as a live-in curator of the collection.
Some of Berlusconi’s paintings were carefully packaged
and personally signed as gifts to
friends, political allies, foes, and
frenemies, including Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who reportedly got an image of a mother with child.
But he left behind a vast
enough collection of hotel-lobby
schlock to attract mockery from
critics, defense from family, and
musings from confidants about
why on earth Berlusconi went
on his Citizen Kane-like shopping spree.
“It is a mystery what goal he
had to build this kind of amusement park,” said Vittorio Sgarbi,
an art historian, deputy culture
minister, and a longtime friend,
who said that “after the famous
bunga bunga parties,” Berlusconi started “this sort of frenzy to
collect on television.”
He said he had urged Berlusconi to rein it in, telling him
he should buy a few good works
instead. And he said he had
warned the former prime minister’s eldest daughter, Marina —

leader and media mogul Silvio Berlusconi.
who Sgarbi said was “worried”
— that her father needed to be
stopped. “There was a real desire
to accumulate,” Sgarbi said. “It’s
inexplicable.”
But the art historian gave it a
shot, drawing a connection between Berlusconi’s seeming desire to live forever and his collecting mania. As long as he
could keep purchasing, Sgarbi
suggested, Berlusconi could
imagine he could keep on living.
“ I d o n’ t k n o w i f h e e v e r
thought he would die; this accumulation was like buying up everything while he could, a sort of
horror vacui,” he said, using the
L atin for “fear of an empty
space,” often used in art. “‘I don’t
have much time,’ ” he added,
imagining what he supposed
was Berlusconi’s thinking, “‘so
I’m taking whatever I can, without selecting.’”
The buying filled Berlusconi,
he said, with the desire to become “the greatest collector in
the world, but it was a problem,
and his collection was a sort of
great illusion.”
De Gregorio said Berlusconi
was obsessed by and commissioned multiple versions of the
mythical allegory of “Selene and
Endymion,” the story of a handsome shepherd, kept forever
young in an eternal sleep during
which the smitten moon goddess had her way with him. “He
loved,” De Gregorio said, that
“the shepherd was immortal.”
To hear it from the televendors, the story of Berlusconi’s
collecting was less that of an old
man trying to stave off mortality
with stuff than a lover of life who
wanted to fill his villas, gardens,
and eventually a warehouse,
with the paintings that made
him happy and showed who he
was.
“Very ambitious and somewhat extreme,” Vianini said of
the collection, which he has also
called a “leitmotif of his existence.”
Berlusconi first called in to
De Gregorio’s late-night shopping hotline in 2019. The vendor
recalled that he hung up on him
three times. “I thought it was a
joke,” he said.
When his identity was verified, “the entire studio froze,” he
recounted. Berlusconi bought a
bunch of paintings depicting Canadian mountains in the snow.
“And from there began an adventure that lasted three years,”
De Gregorio said.
De Gregorio hand-delivered

the paintings, which Berlusconi
told him were “even more beautiful in real life.”
He went to see Berlusconi often, getting a tour of the more
refined picture gallery inside the
Arcore mansion. Often, Marta
Fascina, Berlusconi’s girlfriend
and 50 years his junior, watched
them unpack the goods. (Sgarbi,
the art historian, said she supported her boyfriend’s hobby.)
De Gregorio would spend the
day with Berlusconi, he said,
talking pictures and the art
world, and eating lunch and dinner. “He also liked the company,”
the televendor said.
Some televendors, including
Alessandro Orlando, a veteran of
the industry, said Berlusconi selected his paintings and antiques “like a surgeon.” He conducted at least 3,000 operations,
spending about 2.5 million euros, over a couple of years, Orlando said, buying what he offered.
Orlando, too, spent time in
Arcore. More than once, he said,
Berlusconi told him, ‘Alessandro, come, I’ll show you the
bunga bunga room.’” He said he
declined.
At one point the collecting
seemed to get out of hand even
for Berlusconi. Once word had
gotten out that the former prime
minister was buying in bulk, art
vendors, mostly from Naples,
started sending trucks up to Arcore, and Orlando recalled seeing workers unload hundreds of
paintings, including vibrant
nudes, in the hope of a sale.
“‘Silvio, how much stuff have
you bought?’” Orlando recalled
asking Berlusconi.
Late in Berlusconi’s life, in his
final run at politics, his paintings became presents to buy favor in a campaign for president
of Italy that went nowhere. As he
hid an ultimately fatal illness,
the great collector “married”
Fascina in a faux ceremony and
settled for a peripheral role as a
cantankerous junior partner in a
new government.
De Gregorio attended his funeral in June and recalled a man
who loved life and the pleasures
that made it worth living, including buying an OK oil off the
television after midnight.

‘Friends’ star
Perry dies,
reports say
ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — Matthew
Perry, who starred as Chandler
Bing in the hit series “Friends,”
has died. He was 54.
The Emmy-nominated actor
was found dead of an apparent
drowning at his Los Angeles
home Saturday, according to
the Los Angeles Times and celebrity website TMZ, which was
the first to report the news.
Both outlets cited unnamed
sources confirming Perr y ’s
death.
His publicists and other representatives did not immediately return messages seeking comment. Asked by AP to confirm
police response to what was listed as Perr y ’s home address
LAPD Officer Drake Madison
told The Associated Press that
officers had gone there “for a
death investigation of a male in
his 50s.”
Pe r r y ’s 1 0 s e a s o n s o n
“Friends” made him one of Hollywood’s most recognizable actors, starring opposite Jennifer
Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt
LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow and David Schwimmer as a friend
group in New York.
As Chandler, he played a sarcastic yet insecure and neurotic
roommate of Joey and Ross,
played by LeBlanc and Schwimmer respectively. By the series’
end, Chandler is married to
Cox’s Monica and they have a
family, reflecting the journey of
the core cast from single New
Yorkers to married and starting
families.
The series was one of television’s biggest hits and has taken
on a new life — and found surprising popularity with younger
fans — in recent years on
streaming services.
The series ran from 1994 until 2004. Perry received one Emmy nomination for his
“Friends” role and two more for
appearances as an associate
White House counsel on “The
West Wing.”

Want to see killer whales? Check your phone
Wildlife group
pings members
when orcas near
By Manuel Valdes
ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE — Peter Bates was
dropping his car at the mechanic
this month when a notification
pinged on his phone: Killer
whales were approaching his Seattle neighborhood.
He hopped on a bus toward
the water, then an electric bike.
He was pedaling along a shoreline trail when orcas’ black fins
and white spots punched
through the water a few yards
away.
“They move so quickly. I was
pedaling fast," he said. “I was
open-mouthed the whole way. It
was a completely joyful experience, just full of awe.”
In a city known for stunning
views of Puget Sound, and where
the fate of the endangered resident orcas is a common topic of
conversation, catching glimpses
of the enchanting creatures is
still an elusive treat.
But Salish Wildlife Watch, a
WhatsApp group chat that alerts
its 1,800 members when orcas
are near, aims to make it easier
for residents such as Bates to
have wondrous experiences with
them, and to motivate people to
learn about and protect the animals.
Users credit the real-time updates for spotting whales swim
past the city’s skyline, calves
with parents, pod hunts, and orcas surfacing so close to shore
they could hear and smell their
fishy breathing.
“It’s just been kind of addicting,” said group chat member
Ian Elliott of Seattle, who saw orcas with visiting friends. “You
have the city and then you can
go to any park on the water and
just see these really wild animals.”
Behind the alerts is Kersti
Muul, a biologist and wildlife advocate. Muul created the group
chat to consolidate text threads
and social media pages she used

JAMIE KINNEY VIA ASSOCIATED PRESS

Orcas swam in Seattle’s Elliott Bay on Oct. 12. A WhatsApp group chat alerts people when whales are in the area.
to update when orcas were
around. Tips come from her
most reliable whale-watcher
friends, group members, and
colleagues.
“I love to get people out and
especially people that have never
seen a whale before,” Muul said.
“I don’t know anyone that has
had a close pass that doesn’t immediately just love whales.”
Muul’s first love is birds and
she named Salish Wildlife Watch
after the maze of inland waters
between Washington State and
British Columbia called the Salish Sea. She planned to include
alerts for all kinds of animals.
The orcas, however, became the
stars.
Mu u l d o e s n’ t m i n d . S h e
hopes to marshal the whales’
charisma into awareness of challenges the ecosystem faces, such
as depleted salmon runs, vessel
noise interfering with their
hunting, and collisions with
boats and ships.
“They’re in our backyard,
which is humbling and honoring

to begin with," she said. “I’m trying to promote and facilitate equity and inspiration, and inspiration as a vehicle for advocacy.
It’s the only way people get involved."
Carved by retreating glaciers,
the Salish Sea has been home to
orcas for time immemorial. They
are revered by the indigenous
Coast Salish people.
Visits by “Bigg’s” or “transient” orcas have increased over
the last few decades, as populations of their prey, such as seals
and sea lions, rebound in the region. Alerts from the group chat
led people to see these orcas
hunt just off the Seattle waterfront, near sports stadiums.
Then there are southern “resident” orcas, an endangered
group that primarily eats salmon.
Now, with so many people in
the group chat, Muul usually only allows the two active administrators to post sightings. Alerts
come with information about
the type of whale, their direction

of travel, and nearby landmarks.
Brittany Philbin is an emergency hospital nurse who sought
the outdoors as a way to relax
during the coronavirus pandemic and quickly became obsessed
with whales. Sporting a telephoto lens with her camera, Philbin
now can identify individual
whales from their fins and tails
and is second to Muul in sorting
sighting tips and sending alerts.
Muul said she couldn’t do it
without Philbin.
“I volunteer for this group because I want people to be able to
have the opportunity to see
whales,” she said, “something
that everyone can participate
in.”
Hav i n g s o m a n y e y e s o n
whales when they're in town
may also help improve their
safety. Watchers often track private boats that are getting too
close to the animals. And while
commercial whale watching is
regulated under federal law,
Muul said the alerts allow people
to see whales from shore, with-

out disturbing them.
Muul’s group is one of many
efforts to marry the digital world
with nature. The Orca Network
and Puget Sound Orcas also post
sightings on their Facebook pages and users track the whales.
Steven Rice, a recent transplant from Philadelphia, learned
through the Orca Network about
chasing whale sightings around
Seattle. On clear days he checks
the updates on Facebook, hitting
refresh over and over.
“For me, growing up on the
East Coast, I never really imagined I’d be living somewhere
where you could see something
like that,” he said, after photographing a pod of orcas this past
summer south of Seattle.
Rice once got to see the
whales so close he could hear
their spouts and see the puff of
air and water that orcas let out
when breathing.
“I don’t really know the right
words for it, but it was just really
a kind of a magical experience,”
he said.

Mary is keenly aware of that
fact: She still lives on Dartmouth Street, a five-minute
walk from the apartment she
grew up in. But most of her children and grandchildren have retreated to Lynn or Waltham or
Cambridge in order to find a
place, pooling pennies for down
payments or renting for sums
she can barely fathom. Often,
Mary wonders why the plastic
four-leaf clovers scattered
around her dining room have
brought her grandchildren so little luck.
“They say there’s no way they
can buy a place right now,” she
says. “And they might be right.”
Theirs is a sadly common story around this region, where homeownership, once the traditional marker of American
adulthood, has flown out of the
grasp for so many. The typical
house in Massachusetts once
sold for three times the median
household income — a reach,
but manageable. Today, it sells
for eigh t times the median
household income. The age of
the median first-time homebuyer nationwide climbed from 29
in 1981 to 36 in 2022, and a
growing share of people here
pour their income into rent,
rather than a mortgage.
At the core of the problem are
“age-old supply and demand issues,” said Chris Herbert, managing director of the Joint Center
for Housing Studies at Harvard
University. The math is simple:
More people want to live here
than there are places for them to
live, and most towns refuse to do
anything to change that.
Across four generations,
Mary’s family is a case study in
what that means for the typical
Greater Bostonian, an example
of how a homeownership system
that once spurred wealth and
lifted millions to better, more
stable lives is failing many today.
Within 100 years, her clan has
watched the seams of the American Dream coming apart — one
stitch, one generation at a time.
This is how it happened.

states in the 1920s with no more
than $25 on their person. Their
hometown of Tuam, Ireland,
was rural and poor with a
shrinking population and lingering memories of the Potato Famine. As family lore goes, one relative was shot 32 times while
serving in the Irish Republican
Army.
America promised cultural
freedom, better jobs, a home.
The family landed here as the
economy boomed and Irish immigrants were already ascending the rungs of class and income. Patrick, Mary’s father, settled into a small apartment in
Cambridge with his brother,
James — a name that would
prove exceptionally popular in
this family. Their future wives,
Winifred and Catherine, took
jobs as cooks and caretakers.
Unknowingly, the Kevilles
had arrived in Boston just before
home buying changed dramatically. Before the 1930s, urban
Americans mostly rented, leaving owner-occupied residential
property reserved for the welloff: summer homes, rural estates, and city mansions. Only
after the Great Depression did
the country adopt a housing policy that helped everyday people
buy into the market. New laws
made lending and mortgages far
more accessible, reducing down
payments and lengthening
terms to create monthly payments working people could afford. Eventually, the 30-year
mortgage — an agreement that
would later be dubbed “ The

American Mortgage” — became
the standard.
Americans of all incomes —
white ones, anyway, as many
Black neighborhoods were
locked out through redlining
and raw prejudice — benefitted.
Mary ’s parents, Patrick and
Winifred, bought 39a Chapman
Street in Watertown for an unknown sum. But for reasons obscured by the sands of time,
they lost it in the late 1930s.
Her uncle and aunt, James and
Catherine, were luckier: They
purchased the Dartmouth
Street home for $6,000, roughly
four and a half times their annual household income of
$1,300. The mortgage each
month was $34.10, the equivalent of $619 today.
It stood outside the bustle of
the city, but close enough to access the bounty of Boston on the
now-defunct Green Line branch
t h a t e n d e d a t Wa t e r t o w n
Square. The building itself was
constructed in 1920 as part of a
swath of multifamily buildings
made to house workers from the
US Arsenal and Hood Rubber
Company. On its short block
stood 24 such buildings with
grassy yards and black mailboxes brimming with envelopes.
Around it, East Watertown provided a haven for a hodgepodge
of immigrant families — Armenian, Italian, Greek, Irish.
Buying the two-family transformed James and Catherine
from tenants to landlords. They
rented out the downstairs unit
to help pay the mortgage and

lived upstairs themselves, sleeping in separate bedrooms and
keeping parakeets as pets.
They had no children. But
what they did have was the foundation of financial security. How
could James and Catherine have
known the two-family would
bolster great-grandnephews and
nieces they had not yet imagined? A lifetime later, the house
remains in the hands of their relatives, worth nearly nine times
what they paid for it after accounting for 80 years of inflation, and provides shelter in a region roiled by a housing crisis.
“That is the Logue family
h o m e b a s e ,” Jam e s Pat r i ck
Logue III, a great-grandnephew
of James and Catherine, said recently. “Who knows where we
would be without it?”

Mary learned to walk and
spell in a rental two blocks from
Dartmouth Street. Her parents
baked Irish soda bread and
stuffed Brillo pads in the piping
to keep rats away. It was a simple
existence, Mary said, one where
they “made do or did without.”
But by the time she came of
age in the ‘50s, a golden era of
American homeownership had
dawned. Massive postwar demand for housing cleared a path
to build waves of inexpensive
homes around Boston. Wraparound porches and fenced fourbedrooms became newcomers’
suburban idyll. Rows of homes
sprouted neatly on the west side

of Watertown near St. Patrick’s
Cemetery, where Mary’s father
and uncle were eventually buried side by side. The home on
Dartmouth Street was left to
James’s wife, Catherine.
It was a time when just about
every man with a job could afford to own. Mary and her husband, James Logue, were no exception.
They first locked eyes across
the dance floor at Hibernian
Hall in Roxbur y and wed in
1953. Within five years, their
family had grown to include two
boys and a girl. And even as Watertown factories faded, the
tight-knit community promised
them a warm place to shepherd
their children to adulthood.
They imagined buying a house
and teaching the kids to ride bicycles on land they owned.
Then came the limp. Mary
noticed James dragging his feet;
his gait was slowing. Lou Gehrig’s disease followed. With a diagnosis in hand, there was little
money left to save and little hope
to find a home.
The upside? They already
had one — on Dartmouth Street.
By the late 1960s, Mary’s husband had died. Her widowed
aunt lived there alone, battling
both Parkinson’s and multiple
sclerosis. Catherine “didn’t have
anyone else, and we didn’t have
anywhere else,” Mary said. “So
there we went.” She moved her
family into the upstairs unit and
shuffled between homemaking
and medical aid, leaving her little time to think about if, or how,
the community outside her window was changing.
Yet changing, it was. The
promise of homeownership had
started to fade a little in 1970.
The gap between rich and poor
— diminished by a stretch of
broad prosperity — was deepening again. It became difficult to
build housing as towns rewrote
zoning laws to block denser developments, including the prototypical Boston multifamily like
the one the Kevilles bought 30
years earlier.
Once Mary was a widow in
her 40s, the street of humble
homes where she lived had become a pot of real estate gold.
She could never buy there — or
anywhere else — on her salary as
a secretary at a local dry cleaning company. So her Aunt Catherine sold her the Dartmouth
Street homestead in 1976 as an
early inheritance before she
died. At the time, the median
single-family home in the Northeast cost $47,300.
Mary paid a dollar.

The younger Mary — at least
as her children remember — was
curt and stern, devoted to St.
Aidan’s Church in Brookline.
She wore dark eyeliner under a
sweep of silver eyeshadow and
stashed a nip of Fireball in her
purse. Mary never had much
money, though she detested
sharing her money troubles with
her brood.

In the ‘70s, she splurged to
add a chain-link fence and driveway to Dartmouth Street, all the
family could afford. Otherwise,
Mary’s front desk job was just
enough to cover food and Catholic school tuition, and her kids
already shared a bedroom and a
makeshift attic that roasted
without air conditioning. Despite the $55 rent Mary received
from the downstairs tenant,
mortgage payments she assumed from Catherine fell to the
wayside.
The Logues once almost lost
the house to foreclosure, until a
neighborhood lawyer stepped in
to help them fend it off.
“And thank heavens he did,”
Mary said.
That saved the home where
the family rested their heads and
set them up to benefit immensely when the Boston market took
off in the 1980 s. The decade
brought a record-breaking surge
in home prices, including an uptick of 20 percent in 1985 alone,
despite interest rates in the double-digits.
Had Mar y sold the Dar tmouth Street home, she
would’ve walked away with a
hefty profit. But that never
crossed her mind. It was home.
At various times, its ground floor
apartment housed each of her
adult children, by then prospective homebuyers themselves
grappling with a market that
tightened by the day.
Soon enough, they realized
they might have to win the lottery, literally, to afford homeownership.
Her only daughter did just
that. She lived downstairs at
Dartmouth Street before she
won Megabucks in 1989 and put
a chunk of the winnings toward
a house in Acton.
The oldest, Bill, served with
the Army until he left to be a Watertown cop. The pay was decent. At 25, he managed to purchase a condo along the Mass
Pike in Brighton for $40,000 and
married a teacher he had met
years earlier, while bagging groceries at Star Market. Four years
later, a veterans affairs mortgage
helped the couple move to West
Watertown. It was “a heck of a
house,” Bill said, “with a corner
lot and a 16-by-9-foot living
room and gum-wood molding.”
In 1994, seeking better schools
for their kids, they graduated to
a four-bedroom in Belmont.
Buying never felt easy, said
Bill, now 63 and retired. But it
was attainable: His homes appreciated in value. He could always
secure a mortgage after selling
the older place, especially with
the benefits afforded to veterans.
And Bill was driven relentlessly
by the spirit of immigrant children. “What do they tell you?
Buy, buy, buy,” he added. “Own
something. Build your wealth.”
But what would he tell his
grandkids? Does the path Bill
walked still exist, he wonders?
Or is Greater Boston beyond the
aspirations of the middle class?
A unit in his former Brighton condo building sold last

year for $425,000. Real estate
website Redfin estimates his old
house in Watertown is now
worth $1.4 million.
“It’s sad, but a part of nature
in some ways,” Bill said. “People
used to understand that you
have to get the next generation
prepped. Let them build up and
out. Do we still believe that?”
Mary’s youngest son, James
Jr., and his wife, Patty, live with
that question daily. They moved
into Dartmouth Street with their
four kids in the 1980s, happy for
the stability the home provided.
James Jr. — a Watertown maintenance employee — made
enough to get by on one full-time
income, but not enough to afford
a down payment anywhere like
Watertown. They considered
venturing out, but Mary only
charged her son a few hundred
dollars a month.
So the couple stayed: Their
children grew up in a narrow
second room with Mickey
Mouse toys and oak bunk beds,
jumping from the top level into a
fortress of pillows below. On
summer Saturdays, they ate Ar-

ership, by banks writing mortgages that borrowers could not
afford, on the theory that home
prices would only rise. When
they did not, things fell apart.
Homebuilding plunged just as a
demographic bulge of millennials hit prime buying years. Banks
tightened lending standards.
Places like Boston, spared the
worst of the downturn, still saw
buying become tougher.
Mary ’s grandchildren fit
squarely into that timeline. As
they reached their 20s, Boston
was quickly becoming bigger,
better, and more expensive. The
price of local homes doubled between 2009 and 2022. Drug companies planted themselves in Watertown, seeking what one biotech executive described as “the
Kendall Square lifestyle at half
the price.” Part of that prediction
delivered. The curvy stretch
along the Charles River where
cast iron guns were once built
now houses gleaming laboratories and brick townhomes. But
housing prices rival Cambridge.
This summer, the cheapest East
Watertown home listed for sale
on Zillow was $949,000. The
new apartment buildings along
Arsenal Street command $3,500
a month for a one-bedroom.
“I get it — Boston is a city
filled with opportunities,” said
Justin, 34 and an IT employee at
a tech company. “But there’s a
side of me that feels sad because
I don’t think I can afford a home
anywhere near where I grew up.
… If it’s not going to get better,
should I be buying now? Am I being smart about it by waiting until I feel ready? Or am I being
dumb by making the timeline
longer and longer, pushing the
goal away?”
The only Logues who found a

way to homeownership made
great sacrifices, or had help.
Take Bill’s kids, for example.
A homeowner himself, he helped
his two children gain a foothold
as best he could. His daughter
lived with him for three years
rent-free while saving for the
down payment to buy a
$417,500 house in Waltham in
2013. Mike, his son, also leaned
on the parents for part of the
closing costs in 2015.
Even a decade earlier, when
the real estate market was more
reasonable, buying felt brutal.
Mike suffered through a year of
open houses and negotiations
and “sorrys.” “You don’t think
other people will beat you out
that quickly, with that much
money,” he said. “But they do. It’s
a defeating feeling.”
James Jr. — who still lives on
Dartmouth Street — also offered
his children the chance to stay in
the old homestead as adults. In
the past decade, they’ve each
moved back to their childhood
bedroom or the attic two floors
above, putting aside money that

would otherwise cover rent. But
that was scarcely enough. Only
one of four kids, James III, owns
a home now.
With thick-rimmed glasses
and spikey hair, he is the saver of
the bunch, the pragmatist. James
skipped college to go directly to
work installing HVAC systems
and managed to scrape together
enough to buy a fixer-upper
three-decker in Lynn for
$435,000 in 2016. That was only
the beginning of years of renovation work that included gutting
the third floor, installing closets,
and repainting bedrooms.
Now James keeps a half dozen tenants — friends and family
scattered across the three floors,
all paying well below market
rent. He has stability, though he
traded an easygoing chunk of his
20s for it.
“My choices have always been
dictated by money,” the younger
James said. “My life has been dictated by money.”
His three siblings also have
good jobs in technology or pharmaceuticals, but few homebuy-

ing prospects. Brendan lives at
James’s place in Lynn for $450 a
month. Amanda moved out of
Dartmouth Street last fall and
rents in Cambridge. Justin lives
with his wife in a $2,000-amonth two-bedroom in East Watertown. High school sweethearts, they’d rather buy and put
down roots. But when the median sale price in Watertown sits at
$900,000 — more than five times
their household income — what
are the options?
“We are already living at the
lowest budget possible,” Justin
said. “There’s not much room to
cut anywhere else.”

Ask the Logue grandchildren
what can be done to fix the housing crisis, and some degree of existentialism surfaces. One believes he’ll buy one day. Another
just shrugs. (“I’ll see when I can,
or if I can,” she said.) Only James
III, the Lynn homeowner, speaks
like a modern-day Robin Hood.
“The answer is: Don’t be greedy,”
he said. “The rent is too high to
begin with for everybody. The
only way that changes is if we act
as a community.”
In a sense, that’s what the
modern-day Logue clan is doing
to preserve what they have and
cannot stand to lose: the Dartmouth Street home that cocooned them from the market
for nearly a century. A handful of
family members pitch in each
month to make payments on the
mortgage and a decades-old loan
for renovations. Handier relatives chop trees in the yard or update a bathroom.
Selling the place would fetch
a princely sum. But they intend
to keep it, for whomever can
carry the deed forward in the
Logue name. They would have
to be willing to repaint the chipping exterior and replace the
softening wood on the back patio. Still, Mary’s grandchildren
hope, wait, and watch their
hometown morph into something more beautiful than they
remember, but where they cannot afford to stay.
Justin is coming to terms
with the fact that there may be
no future for him and his wife
other than to move away from
Watertown — maybe to Lowell,
whe re y ou c a n s t i l l b u y f o r
around $400,000. He wonders if
the powers-that-be consider the
people the Greater Boston housing market is pushing away. He
wonders what it will be like for
the next generation: his cousins’
children, the baby he and wife
are expecting.
Sometimes Justin asks aloud:
“Does Massachusetts even care?”
The answer feels like no.

MASS SHOOTING IN MAINE

Will Maine rethink assault weapons in wake of killings?
uGOLDEN

Continued from Page A1

— and he changed his mind
mind on that issue.
“Sometimes, things happen
that bring your worst nightmares
to life,” he said later that night, as
he suddenly reversed his position
and called for a federal ban on
assault rifles, saying one had
been used to carry out the attack.
“I ask for forgiveness and support as I seek to put an end to
these terrible shootings.”
It was a stunning about-face
that shocked Mainers on both
sides of the gun debate, one that
could make it more difficult than
ever for the 41-year-old Democrat to hold a congressional district that has twice backed former president Donald Trump. It
also raises the question of
whether the carnage here can
shift the politics of one of the nation’s most gun-friendly states.
For Golden, who wrote his remarks in the 30 minutes between Portland and Lewiston, it
was a personal, quickly made decision, he told The Boston Globe,
in his first extended interview
since his remarks on Thursday.
“I bought rifles such as these,
always with the goal of protecting my family. And suddenly it
occurred to me, like, what am I
gonna do? For people like me,
are we gonna start carrying AR15s everywhere?” he asked, explaining that was not the solution he wanted.
“I was hundreds of miles

Representative Jared Golden,
Thursday reversed his stance
on assault weapons.

away when this happened, half a
mile away from the house where
my family was,” Golden added.
“All of my justifications turned
out to be pretty hubristic.”
He had learned of the shooting from his staff within minutes
of it happening, he said. The
news was searing.
“I recognize and know some
of these people,” he said.
In the interview, Golden said
he is not doing a “180” on gun
rights generally, and declined to
get into specifics about what
should be banned, or how. Asked
if he would support the assault
weapons ban proposed by Senate Democrats in January, he
said he was not yet ready to commit to specific legislation, although he suggested he would
likely now back a ban similar to

the one he voted against last
year.
“I would look at it and my
guess is, that I would,” said Golden, adding that he would also
contemplate measures that
would require people who already own assault weapons to
get permits that require regular
renewal.
Golden’s announcement on
Thursday thrilled gun safety advocates around the state.
“Heretofore, he’d say, ‘It’s just
not going to happen. I hear
where you’re coming from. I just
don’t agree,’” said Edward Walworth, vice president of the
Maine Gun Safety Coalition, recalling previous conversations in
which Golden reiterated his opposition to certain restrictions
on guns. “What we saw yesterday in the news conference was
a complete turnaround, and
we’re delighted by that.”
The Gun Owners of Maine, a
gun rights group here with 1,800
paid members, was just as blindsided. “For him to campaign on
that and then to reverse his
stance now after he’s already
been elected is really a dereliction of duty,” said Laura Whitcomb, the group’s president.
It is not yet clear how — or
whether — the attack in Lewiston will shape public opinion
over guns in a state where the
love of hunting and sport shooting runs deep and the laws are
fairly loose.
Before dawn on Saturday

morning, hunters across Golden’s district were preparing for
the first day of rifle hunting season for deer, and interviews with
his constituents about his shift
revealed a mix of skepticism and
relief.
“It ’s a s tupid politician,
grasping at straws,” grumbled
Greg Fish, who wore an orange
vest and hat as he left the annual
Hunters’ Breakfast in Chesterville, about one hour north of
Lewiston.
Fish had not supported Golden in the past, and said he won’t
in the future. “If you’re going to
change your views on something, it should be done a little
different than that,” he said.
But inside Town Hall, where
volunteers had laid out pancakes, eggs, and a big jar of
homemade doughnuts for the
hunters, Randy Hastings, a retired paper mill worker dressed
in head to toe camouflage, felt
differently.
“I think everybody should
have a handgun at their disposal,” said Hastings, an independent voter who has voted for
Golden in the past. But as for automatic weapons, he said: “I
don’t think anyone needs a gun
that can shoot that many times.”
Maine’s two senators, the Republican Susan Collins and the
Independent Angus King, have
not changed their views in the
wake of the shooting. Collins,
who stood next to Golden at the
press conference when he re-

versed his position, said it was
“more important that we ban
high-capacity magazines.”
King , like Collins, voted
against a ban on assault weapons in 2013 and opposes the version of an assault weapons ban
put forward by Democrats. But
he has said he is working on legislation that would make semiautomatic rifles less lethal by
limiting their bullet capacity.
As a state lawmaker, Golden
took some stances in support of
gun safety, such as when he opposed permit-less concealed carry in Maine.
While in Congress, Golden
voted against expanding the federal background check system in
2019 and 2021. He opposed the
House’s version of the gun safety
legislation drawn up in response
to the killing of schoolchildren in
Uvalde, Texas, but ultimately
supported the narrower version
of the bill written up in the Senate, which passed. The law expanded background checks for
young gun buyers, put millions
toward mental health and school
safety, and tightened laws on
gun trafficking. It also incentivized states to pass “red flag laws”
to allow authorities to take guns
from people deemed dangerous.
Maine does not have one.
At times, Golden’s stances
won him praise from gun rights
groups. In 2022, the Sportsman’s
Alliance of Maine awarded him
an A+, saying he had “guts.” That
year, he got a “B” from the Na-

tional Rifle Association.
Some of the Republicans
hoping to unseat Golden quickly
seized on his reversal.
“It’s unfortunate and frustrating that, at this time of tragedy,
Jared Golden and Joe Biden
would tr y to score political
points by attacking the Second
Amendment,” said one candidate, state Representative Austin Theriault.
Another, state Representative
Mike Soboleski, accused Golden
of “using this tragedy to advance
a liberal political agenda.”
Meanwhile, progressives in
Maine praised Golden, although
some wondered what had taken
him so long.
“I just emailed him my
thanks,” said Scott Harriman, a
Lewiston city councilor, in an
email Friday night. “Weapons
that are designed simply to kill
lots of people quickly do not
need to be in civilian hands.”
Golden said he will talk about
his own experiences with guns
to persuade constituents opposed to his reversal. “I went to
the grocery store with my wife
and daughter today, and I carried concealed,” Golden said.
But, if a gunman with an assault
weapon had come into the store,
he said, that handgun would not
have made much of a difference.
If he wanted to live in a world
where everyone needed to carry
an AR-15 to be safe, he said, “I
never would have left Afghanistan.”

A community
reels — and
looks ahead

of lights and sirens — police
cars, firetrucks, ambulances,
seemingly screaming from all directions at once.
The spasm of violence that
tore through this central Maine
city of 37,000 Wednesday night
left 18 dead, at least a dozen
wounded, and a city shattered.
It sent residents into a multiday
lockdown, as the chief suspect
remained at large, and obliterated any assumptions that a place
like this — calm, quiet, removed
from big-city crowds — was immune to this kind of violence.
Friday’s announcement that
the body of suspected shooter
Robert R. Card II had been discovered in neighboring Lisbon
might have brought a measure
of relief. But closure — or anything approaching it — will be
much harder to come by.
As the full scope of the devastation emerges, evidence of
what’s been lost is everywhere.
It’s there in the new reticence
of Louise Wotton, who was entering her fifth frame at Just-InTime Recreation on Wednesday
night when the shooter strode
in. She managed to escape but
no longer feels comfortable entering businesses without metal
detectors.
It’s there in the small bodega
on Lisbon Street, where Shukri
Abasheikh — known to customers as “Mama Shukri” or “Mama
Africa” — surveys her stock of
spiced meats, semolina, and fufu and ponders a new world
where the people who s tep
through her door are no longer
merely customers but potential
threats.
“Before, Lewiston is very
good, but now we worry a lot,”
Abasheikh said. “Somebody
come in the door, you don’ t
know nothing.”
It’s there, too, in the shipment of new bowling jerseys
that will soon arrive at a warehouse in Tennessee, awaiting delivery to Lewiston. Among them
is one meant for a boy named
Aaron Young, a 14-year-old with
glasses and a shy smile who last
Wednesday joined his father for
a night of league bowling and
never came home.
For a country grown increasingly numb to mass violence, the
tragedy in Lewiston is merely
the latest incident to be playing
out on network news chyrons.
“Americans,” President Biden
said in a statement, “should not

have to live like this.”
But here — in a city so closeknit that some workers at Central Maine Medical Center knew
the victims they were caring for
in the shooting’s aftermath —
the damage has been profoundly
personal.
When Taylor Secor saw the
text from her husband, Kyle, she
figured it must’ve been a joke:
“I’ve been shot.”
Kyle Secor, 25, had been playing cornhole at Schemengees,
like he does every Wednesday
night, when the shooter opened
fire, his wife said. Kyle was hit
multiple times. Two days and
several surgeries later, on Friday,
he was stable but sedated.
“My husband has been trying
to get me to move to Ohio,
where his family is from, and
I’m just like, ‘No, Maine’s safe.
We’re good,’” said Taylor Secor.
“And then this happens, and it
makes you rethink everything.”
For Walker, the city councilor
in nearby Auburn, last Wednesday’s preparation for the community events he loved so much
left him satisfied at the day’s
end. Then, he got the call from
his youngest son.
“ ‘Dad, Dad, you gotta find
out what’s going on!’” Walker recalled his son saying. A gunman
had burst into Schemengees Bar
& Grille, and his older son — Joe
Walker — had likely been shot.
Walker felt his knees buckle.
He recognized this pain, had
felt it two decades before, when
he’d first heard news of the
death of his 24-year-old daughter in a car crash.
“ That one sent me to the
floor, but this time I didn’t go
down. I knew I needed to stay
strong and find out what happened,” he said Saturday. “That
was the beginning of my nightmare, and it didn’t get better. It
only got worse.”
Walker said he waited “for
hours and hours and hours” for
police to confirm his worst fears:
His son Joe was dead.
In selecting Just-In-Time and
Schemengees, the shooter targeted Lewiston’s backbone: a
pair of social hubs where residents gathered nightly with
friends to hang out or blow off
steam.
Brandon Dubuc grew up inside Lewiston’s only bowling alley. For years, his parents ran
the youth league. His cousin operated the pro shop. He had
birthday parties there, worked
the counter as a teen, passing

out shoes and making sure no

Even after moving away, first
to college in Kentucky and then
near Nashville for work, the pull
of the place has remained
strong; during college, he’d once
packed six bowling balls into his
car and driven 16 hours home so
he could compete in a tournament.
Now, he wonders what it will
feel like to walk back in.
“Honestly, it’s probably the
place I spent the most time
w h e n I w a s n’ t h o m e ,” s a i d
Dubuc.
Bates College can seem siloed
from the rest of the city, but senior Hannah Orton works at a
local bar, and she’d gotten to
know the locals. She liked the
warmth she felt, how people
here would help if you found
yourself with car trouble.
She spent Wednesday night
sleeping on the floor of a dining
hall during the lockdown. She
emerged at last into the pre-

dawn darkness Thursday morning.
“Sandy Hook happened
when I was in elementary
school,” said the Littleton, Mass.,
native, “so all of my life I have
been preparing for this.”
Sirois, the mother who had
just put two of her four children
in the car after tumbling practice when the mayhem started
last week, is doing her best to
navigate this impossible new
terrain.
After she’d found herself
stuck on the side of the road as
emergency vehicles flew past,
she endured a terrifying drive
home.
In the back seat, her fourthgrader, who minutes earlier had
been practicing cheer moves
with friends, suddenly feared for
her life.
In the days since the shootings, the kids have been full of
questions: Where is the shooter?
Is he going to do this again? Are
we going to be able to go back to

school? Are we going to be able to
have Halloween?
Raised like so many kids
their age on lockdown drills, her
oldest three children — fourthgrader Addison, plus Addison’s
4-year-old and 7-year-old siblings — are familiar with the
idea that “bad people come into
schools.” But it’s one thing to
hear about mass shootings and
another to find yourself in the
middle of one, part of a grim
and ever-growing roster of children whose lives would be forever altered by their proximity to
mass violence.
“Our hearts are ... hurting for
the people who we lost or the
people who are still fighting,
who are having to deal with the
heartache,” she said.
After days of deserted streets,
Saturday’s sunrise brought the
first signs of a re-emerging city.
A woman pulled weeds from her
side yard on Pleasant Street. A
jogger descended a hill toward a
path hugging the Androscoggin

River.
And, improbably, Walker, the
father and city councilor who
had lost so much, was at Rolly’s
Diner. He had a Halloween party
to finish planning.
“People have asked me, ‘Are
you sure you don’t want to reschedule it?’” Walker said Saturday in an interview with the
Globe. But “this is for the kids,
for my neighborhood, and for
the neighborhood across the river. If my son was here with me,
he wouldn’t want me to stop,
and I know that because that’s
the kind of family we are.”
And so on Sunday afternoon,
Walker plans to be outside the
diner, with a big tent and lots of
candy, smiling through incomprehensible pain.
“We’ll put on the fake laugh,
we’ll fight our way through it,
and we’ll get to the end,” he said.
“We’re gonna have a lot of happy
people, a lot of fun for the kids.
“They’ll never know that we
have bleeding hearts.”

Building a new school for Uvalde
Community
breaks ground
By Edgar Sandoval
NEW YORK TIMES

UVALDE, Texas — In the
year since a teenage assailant
strode into Robb Elementary
School in Uvalde and killed 19
fourth graders and two teachers,
the building has stood empty, its
windows boarded over, its students dispersed to other campuses with little chance to maintain the bonds they once shared.
That began to change on Saturday, as residents of the small
t o w n i n S o u t h Te x a s b r o ke
ground for a new elementary
school in place of the one that
became the scene of one of the
worst school mass shootings in
US history.
“Something horrible happened here,” said Eulalio Diaz
Jr., co-chair of a foundation dedicated to constructing the new
campus, the first to be built in
the town since 1985. “The new
school, it’s a symbol of moving
forward. We will always remember what the new school means.
It’ll be a bright light in a dark
time.”
The groundbreaking event
began Saturday morning with a
moment of silence for the 21
victims and a rendition of the
song “El Rey ” by the Uvalde
High School mariachi band.
Some visibly moved family
members of the victims wiped
tears as organizers talked about
new beginnings and working together.
“We must remember the 21
lives taken from us,” Gary Patterson, interim superintendent
of the Uvalde school district,
said, speaking in front of a large
banner with a rendering of what
the new school will look like.
“It’s been a remarkable, remarkable journey, that I hope will
take the students and the community into great strides into
the future with this building.”

SERGIO FLORES/NEW YORK TIMES

Robb Elementary, the site of the 2022 mass shooting, remains
the site of memorials but will eventually be demolished.
After a 3-2-1 countdown, area dignitaries and donors, including Jerry Mata, the father of
Tess Mata, one of the victims,
shoveled the first fistful of dirt
to mark the official groundbreaking. Mata then walked
over to the other family members, shook his head, and said
softly, “That was hard.”
In an interview, Mata later
said it reminded him of the instant when he had to pour dirt
over his daughter’s coffin. “It
takes you back to that moment,
but I had to be part of it,” he
said. “ We need to remember
why this school is here.”
Emotions remain raw 17
months after the tragedy, and
many in this majority Latino
community are still seeking explanations for why it took law
enforcement officers from several agencies more than an hour
to confront the assailant in a
pair of connected classrooms
where he was holed up with students, many of them dead or dying.
Robb Elementary is slated to
be demolished as soon as the
numerous lawsuits and law enforcement investigations are
concluded and there is no more
need to secure evidence from

the crime scene.
The new school — 120,000
square feet, over two floors —
will include a number of safety
measures to prevent the entry of
intruders and facilitate a police
response, Diaz said.
Unlike Robb Elementary —
which was built in the 1950s, an
era when open access and many
doors were not only welcomed
but also expected — the new
school will be relatively restrictive. Staff members will need
badges to open the doors, and
there will be fewer exterior
doors, said Tessa A. BenavidesCooper, a spokesperson with the
Charles Butt Foundation, one of
the donors to the project. Visitors will be asked to wait in a
vestibule where a staff member
behind a secure door will assess
whether the person should be
buzzed in.
“The school will have multiple levels of security,” BenavidesCooper said.
The school will have 9-foottall gates, a new road to help police and emergency medical
workers access the school
grounds, fencing around play
areas, and other measures that
will not be obvious.
The new campus will also

feature two playgrounds, one of
them for children with special
needs, an air-conditioned gym,
and a large outdoor courtyard.
Architects said they wanted
to make sure the décor included
cheerful elements that would also recognize the large Mexican
American community in Uvalde,
including colors of papel picado,
the traditional Mexican folk art
that features multicolored
sheets of paper.
They also did not want to forget about the victims. There are
plans to build a metal tree near
the school library with two big
limbs and 19 smaller ones to
memorialize the two teachers
and the children who died.
Traditionally, the school district would have had to hold a
bond election to pay for a new
building, a process that can take
years.
Instead, the facility will be
funded solely by the foundation
Diaz co-chairs, the Uvalde CISD
Moving Forward Foundation,
which includes community
members from around the
South Texas region.
The foundation initially
raised $10 million from the grocery store chain H-E-B and its
owners. Other companies, including Huckabee Inc. and Joeris Construction, donated services. As of October, the foundation
had raised about 75 percent of
the about $60 million needed to
build the campus. Construction
was expected to begin this fall,
said Tim Miller, executive director.
The foundation hopes to
raise the rest of the money needed through donations and requests for federal and other
funds, organizers said.
The school does not yet have
a name. By the time it opens in
2025, many of the former students at Robb Elementary will
be in junior high school. It will
welcome a new crop of about
800 of second, third, and fourth
graders.

NEW YORK — Former vice
president Mike Pence on Saturday dropped his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, ending his campaign for
the White House after struggling
to raise money and gain traction
in the polls.
“After much prayer and deliberation, I have decided to suspend my campaign for president
effective today,” Pence said at the
Republican Jewish Coalition
gathering in Las Vegas. “We always knew this would be an uphill battle, but I have no regrets,”
he said.
Pence becomes the first major candidate to leave a race that
has been dominated by his former boss-turned-rival, Donald
Trump.
The decision, more than two
months before the Iowa caucuses that he had staked his campaign on, saves Pence from the
embarrassment of failing to
qualify for the third Republican
primary debate, Nov. 8 in Miami.
But the withdrawal is a huge
blow for a politician who spent
years biding his time as Trump’s
most loyal lieutenant, only to be
scapegoated during their final
days in office when Trump became convinced that Pence
somehow had the power to overturn the results of the 2020 election and keep both men in office
— not something a vice president could do.
While Pence averted a constitutional crisis by rejecting the
scheme, he drew Trump’s fury,
as well as the wrath of many of
Trump’s supporters who believed his lies and still see Pence
as a traitor.
Among Trump critics, meanwhile, Pence was seen as an enabler who defended the former
president at every turn and refused to criticize even Trump's
most indefensible actions time
and again.
As a result, an Associated
Press-NORC Center for Public
Affairs Research from August
found that the majority of US
adults, 57 percent, viewed Pence
negatively, with only 28 percent
having a positive view.
Throughout his campaign,
the former Indiana governor
and congressman had insisted
that while he was well-known by
voters, he was not “known well”
and set out to change that with
an aggressive schedule that included numerous stops at diners
and Pizza Ranch restaurants.
Pence had been betting on Iowa, a state with a large white
Evangelical population that has
a long history of elevating religious and socially conservative
candidates such as former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee
and former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum. Pence often
campaigned with his wife, Karen, a Christian school teacher,
and emphasized his hard-line
views on issues such as abortion,
which he opposes even in cases
when a pregnancy is unviable.
He called on fellow candidates to
support a minimum 15-week national ban and he pushed to ban
drugs used as alternatives to surgical procedures.

JOHN LOCHER/ASSOCIATED PRESS

Mike Pence was expected to
fail to qualify for the third
Republican primary debate.
He tried to confront head-on
his actions on Jan. 6, 2021 , explaining to voters over and over
that he had done his constitutional duty that day, knowing
full well the political consequences. It was a strategy that
aides believed would help defuse
the issue and earn Pence the respect of a majority of Republicans, whom they were were convinced did not agree with
Trump’s actions.
B u t e v e n i n Io w a , Pe n c e
struggled to gain traction.
He had an equally uphill
climb with donors, despite years
of connections. Pence ended
September with just $1.18 million in the bank and $621,000 in
debt, according to his most recent campaign filing. That debt
number probably has grown in
the weeks since and seemingly
will take years for Pence, who is
not independently wealthy, to
pay off.
The Associated Press first reported after the filing that people close to Pence had begun to
feel he faced a choice about
whether remaining a candidate
might potentially diminish his
long-term standing in the party,
given Trump’s dominating lead
in the race for the 2024 nomination. While they said Pence
could stick it out until the Jan.
15 Iowa caucuses if he wanted,
he would have to consider how
that might affect his ability to remain a leading voice in the conse r vative mo vement , as h e
hopes.
Some said that Hamas's attack on Israel in October, which
pushed foreign policy to the
forefront of the campaign, had
given Pence a renewed sense of
purpose given his warnings
throughout the campaign
against the growing tide of isolationism in the Republican Party.
Pence had argued that he was
the race’s most experienced candidate and decried “voices of appeasement” among Republican,
arguing they had emboldened
groups such as Hamas.
Pence is expected to remain
engaged, in part through Advancing American Freedom, the
conser vative think tank he
founded after leaving the vice
presidency. He envisions it as an
alternative to the The Heritage
Foundation.
Pence’s group is expected to
continued to advocate for policies that he supported in his run,
including pushing for more US
support for Ukraine’s defense
against the Russian invasion and
proposed cuts to Social Security
and Medicare to rein in the debt.
Such ideas were once the breadand-butter of Republican establishment orthodoxy but have
fallen out of a favor as the party
has embraced Trump’s isolationist and populist shifts.

Auto workers reach deal with Stellantis that follows model set by Ford
By Tom Krisher and
Haleluya Hadero
ASSOCIATED PRESS

D E T R O I T — Je e p m a ke r
Stellantis has reached a tentative contract agreement with
the United Auto Workers union
that follows a template set by
Ford, two people with knowledge of the negotiations said
Saturday.
The deal, which still has to
be ratified by members, leaves
only General Motors without a
contract with the union. The
agreement could end a six-week
strike by more than 14,000
workers at Stellantis assembly
plants in Michigan and Ohio,

and at parts warehouses across
the nation.
Like workers at Ford, the
strikers at Stellantis are expected to take down their picket
lines and start returning to
work in the coming days, before
43,000 union members vote.
The people, who asked not to
be identified because they are
not authorized to speak publicly
about the talks, said most of the
main points of the deal at Ford
will carry over to Stellantis.
The Ford pact includes 25
percent in general wage increases over the next 4½ years for
top assembly plant workers,
with 11 percent coming once

the deal is ratified. Workers also
will get cost-of-living pay that
would bring the raises to over
30 percent, with top assembly
plant workers making more
than $40 per hour. At Stellantis,
top-scale workers now make
around $31 per hour.
Like the Ford contract, the
Stellantis deal would run
through April 30, 2028.
The deal is also expected to
include some news about a
now-idled factory in Belvidere,
Ill., which the company had
planned to close.
Democratic Representative
Bill Foster, who represents Belvidere in Congress, said he’s re-

ceived indications that electric
vehicles will be produced at the
site, which will be expanded to
include a new battery factory.
Stellantis had indefinitely shut
down the plant in the spring
and laid off the 1,350 employees
who worked there.
State officials are expected to
offer the company an incentive
package as part of the deal.
Bruce Baumhower, president of the local union at a large
Stellantis Jeep factory in Toledo, Ohio, that has been on strike
since September, said he expects workers will vote to approve the deal because of the
pay raises above 30 percent and

a large raise immediately.
“Eleven percent is right on
the hood,” he said. “It’s a historic agreement as far as I’m concerned.”
Some union members have
been complaining that UAW
president Shawn Fain’s promised 40 percent raises to match
what he said was given to company CEOs, but Baumhower
said that was Fain’s opening
bid.
"Anybody who knows anything about negotiations, you
always start out much higher
than you think is realistic to
get,” he said.
Jermaine Antwine and other

Stellantis workers picketing
outside the automaker’s Sterling Heights, Mich., were excited Saturday after hearing news
of a tentative deal.
“Anytime you reach a tentativ e ag re em en t , i t ’s a go od
thing,” said Antwine, 48, of Pontiac. “It shows both sides have
come to a mutual agreement
somewhere within the numbers
they started with."
Talks were under way with
General Motors on Saturday in
an effor t to reach a similar
agreement. Over 14,000 workers at GM remain on strike at
factories in Texas, Michigan,
and Missouri.

For Johnson, religion at forefront of politics
Says faith drives
anti-gay policy
By Annie Karni, Ruth
Graham, and Steve Eder
NEW YORK TIMES

In the moments before he
was to face a vote on becoming
speaker of the House last week,
Republican Representative Mike
Johnson of Louisiana posted a
photograph on social media of
the inscription carved into marble atop the chamber’s rostrum:
“In God We Trust.”
His colleagues celebrated his
candidacy by circulating an image of him on bended knee praying for divine guidance with other lawmakers on the House
floor.
And in his first speech from
the chamber as speaker, Johnson cast his ascendance to the
position second in line to the
presidency in religious terms,
saying, “I believe God has ordained and allowed each one of
us to be brought here for this
specific moment.”
Johnson, a mild-mannered
conservative Republican whose
elevation to the speakership on
Wednesday followed weeks of
chaos, is known for placing his
evangelical Christianity at the
center of his political life and
policy positions. Now, as the
most powerful Republican in
Washington, he is in a position
to inject it squarely into the national political discourse, where
he has argued for years that it
belongs.
Johnson, 51, the son of a firefighter and the first in his family
to attend college, has deep roots
in the Southern Baptist Convention, the nation’s largest Protestant denomination. For years,
Johnson and his wife, Kelly, a licensed pastoral counselor, belonged to First Bossier, whose
pastor, Brad Jurkovich, is the
spokesperson for the Conservative Baptist Network, an organization working to move the denomination to the right.
Johnson also played a leading role in efforts to overturn the
results of the 2020 presidential
election and has expressed skepticism about some definitions of
the separation of church and
state, placing himself in a newer
cohort of conservative Christianity that aligns more closely with
former president Donald Trump
and that some describe as Christian nationalism.
“Speaker Johnson really does
provide a near-perfect example
of all the different elements of
Christian nationalism,” said Andrew Whitehead, a sociologist at
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. He said
those included insisting on traditionalist family structures,
“being comfortable with authoritarian social control and doing

One expert called new Speaker of the House Mike Johnson a “near-perfect example” of Christian nationalism.
away with democratic values.”
Johnson declined an interview request and did not respond to a request for comment
about whether he considers
himself a Christian nationalist.
But the little-known speaker of
the House has made clear that
his faith is the most important
thing to know about him, and in
previous interviews, he has said
he believes “the founders wanted to protect the church from an
encroaching state, not the other
way around.”
Over the arc of his career,
Johnson, a lawyer and a member of the Louisiana Legislature
before his election to Congress,
has been driven by a belief that
Christianity is under attack and
that Christian faith needs to be
elevated in the public discourse,
according to a review of his appearances on talk shows and
podcasts, as well as legislative
speeches and writings over the
past two decades.
He refers to the Declaration
of Independence as a “creed”
and describes it as a “religious
statement of faith.” He believes
that his generation has been
wrongly convinced that a separation of church and state was
outlined in the Constitution.
In h i s f i r s t i n t e r v i e w a s
speaker, Johnson described himself to Fox News host Sean Hannity as “a Bible-believing Christian” and said that to understand his politics, one only need
“pick up a Bible off your shelf
and read it. That’s my worldview.”
That includes opposition not

just to abortion, which he has
called “a holocaust,” and samesex marriage, but to homosexuality itself, which he has written
is “inherently unnatural” and a
“dangerous lifestyle.” He is the
sponsor of a bill that would prohibit the use of federal funds for
providing education to children
younger than 10 that included
LGBTQ topics — a proposal that
critics called a national version
of Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law.
In a 2006 column for Townhall, a conservative website,
Johnson railed against “the earnest advocates of atheism and
sexual perversion.”
“This sprawling alliance of
anti-God enthusiasts has proven
frighteningly efficient at remaking America in their own brutal,
dehumanizing image,” he wrote.
He added: “In the space of a
few decades, they have managed
to entrench abortion and homosexual behavior, objectify children into sexual objects, criminalize Christianity in the popular culture, and promote guilt
and self-doubt as the foremost
qualities of our national character.”
In Washington, the prime
role of religion in Johnson’s political life is often the first thing
colleagues learn about when
they meet him.
“It doesn’t take long,” said
Republian Representative Byron
Donalds of Florida, who said
Johnson often begins meetings
by leading a prayer. “You’ll pretty much know that in the first
five minutes. He’s truly a humble man.”

Yet he is not shy about framing his political career as a divinely driven battle to put religion at the center of American
policy and lawmaking. From
gun violence to abortion to immigration, Johnson’s policy
views are shaped by his belief
that too many Americans are
“denying existence of God himself.”
In remarks to a Louisiana
congregation in 2016, Johnson
linked school shootings to nofault divorce laws (he is in a covenant marriage with his wife,
which makes divorce more difficult), “radical feminism,” and legal abortion. “We’ve taught a
whole generation — couple of
generations, now — of Americans that there is no right and
wrong,” he said then.
In an episode of his podcast,
“Truth Be Told,” Johnson explained how his religion drives
h i s h a r d - l i n e i m m i g rat i o n
stance, arguing that while the
Bible teaches Christians to practice “personal charity,” that commandment was “never directed
to the government.”
“The left is taking it and using it out of context,” Johnson
said. Welcoming the stranger, he
added, is an exhortation to “individual believers,” while the
government’s duty is to enforce
laws — in this case, strong border control policies to stop the
influx of migrants into the United States.
He said that sometimes “hostile” interviewers would ask him
why he represented only Christians in his work as a lawyer do-

ing religious liberty litigation,
and not, say, Muslims or Jews.
“I would say because the fact
is very simple: There is not an
open effort to silence and censor
the viewpoints of other religions,” he said. “It is only and always the Christian viewpoint
that is getting censored.” He
added, “The fact is the left is always trying to shut down the
voices of the Christians.”
In the 2000s, Johnson, then a
lawyer and spokesperson for the
anti-abor tion and anti-gay
rights group Alliance Defense
Fund, was also a prolific writer,
posting columns to Townhall
and writing opinion pieces for
his local newspaper in Shreveport.
He has also recorded over
1,000 interviews on talk radio
and television — much of it from
his time at the Alliance Defense
Fund, now called the Alliance
Defending Freedom — leaving a
long trail of words that help
paint a picture of an arch-conservative who promotes a literal
reading of the Bible.
In 2015, Johnson provided
legal services to Answers in Genesis, a fundamentalist Christian
group founded by Ken Ham that
rejects scientific findings about
evolution and the early history
of the cosmos. The organization
cites “the Word of God” in saying that the universe is 6,000
years old and suggests that “we
simply have been indoctrinated
to believe it looks old.” The universe is in fact about 13.8 billion
years old, astronomers generally
agree.

Ark. governor’s $19k lectern out of sight, not out of mind
Sanders deflects
questions, but
audit underway
By Andrew DeMillo
ASSOCIATED PRESS

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — From
targeting Chinese-owned farmland to banning gender-neutral
terms such as “pregnant people”
from state documents, Arkansas
Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders has rolled out announcements in recent weeks in quick
succession, cheered on by her
Republican base.
The former White House
press secretary — known for
scaling back regular press briefings in Washington — has also
fielded questions from behind a
lectern at the state Capitol. But
it’s the lectern she’s not using —
a $19,000 purchase that’s led to
an audit and claims her office illegally altered public records —
that remains a problem for the
first-term governor.
That lectern hasn’t been seen
at Sanders’ public events, and
the governor’s office won't say
where it is. But questions about
its cost and how its purchase
was handled haven’t gone away.
Sanders has dismissed such
questions as a “manufactured
controversy” and even chided reporters for chasing what she
called “tabloid gossip.” But
whether it’s that or a legitimate
matter of public accountability,
the lectern purchase has drawn
the attention of everyone from
late-night comic Jimmy Kimmel

The $19,029.25 lectern, seen at the state Capitol on Sept. 26.

to T he Ne w York Times and
could hamper the governor’s efforts to emerge in the vanguard
of next-generation Republican
leaders nationally.
Sanders appears eager to
move on, and has invoked a
strategy familiar to followers of
the Trump administration:
Change the subject and blame
the media. But she has helped
sustain the story in part by refusing to answer basic questions
about the purchase.
Where is the lectern now?
Who told a governor’s employee
to add the words “to be reimbursed” to an invoice after the
state Republican Party paid for
the lectern, which was originally
purchased months earlier with a
state-issued credit card? And
why isn’t she using it now when
she makes new announcements?
She made a stab at that last
question when asked directly

why she wasn’t using the pricey
lectern at a recent news conference.
“Because I figure if I do, then
you would talk about nothing
else, instead of the important actions that we’re actually taking
today,” Sanders said.
An audit approved by an allRepublican legislative panel is
underway into the 39-inch-tall,
wood-paneled, blue lectern. The
Republican Party of Arkansas reimbursed the state for the purchase on Sept. 14, and Sanders’
office has called the use of a state
credit card for the lectern an accounting error.
And even as she’s dismissed
questions, she has also said she
welcomed the audit and urged
that it be completed quickly.
The optics of an expensive
lectern purchased for someone
who preaches fiscal responsibility are tough to shake. Political

observers liken it to criticism the
Pentagon received in past years
for pricey hammers and toilet
seats.
“It’s a small thing that becomes emblematic of a larger
thing that most Americans are
suspicious of anyway, regardless
of party orientation," said Janine
Parry, political science professor
at the University of Arkansas.
T h e l e c t e r n ’s p u r c h a s e
emerged just as Sanders was
urging lawmakers to broadly
limit the public’s access to records about her administration.
Sanders ultimately signed a
measure blocking release of her
travel and security records after
the broader exemptions faced
backlash from media groups and
some conservatives.
The purchase was initially
flagged by Matt Campbell, a lawyer and blogger who has a long
history of freedom-of-information requests that have uncovered questionable spending and
other misdeeds by elected officials. Days before Sanders proposed the FOI changes, Campbell filed a lawsuit over the state
blocking release of the governor’s travel and security records.
“Anybody who tries to brush
this off as ‘who cares about a lectern?’ is missing the entire point
of all of it,” he said. “If the GOP
had just bought the lectern in the
first place, it’s not an issue, but
it's the questions that remain.”
The questions also focus on
the decision to purchase the lectern from Beckett Events LLC, a
Virginia-based company run by
political consultant and lobbyist

Virginia Beckett. The company
has not responded to requests
for comment.
Similar lectern models are
listed online for $7,500 or less.
Sanders has said the one purchased by the state had additional features that contributed to its
cost, including a custom height
and sound components. The
cost also included a road case,
shipping, handling, and a credit
card fee.
State Democrats have gleefully pointed out that they bought
their party's lectern for $5 from
state surplus.
More broadly, the purchase
has spurred questions about
how records were handled. Tom
Mars, an attorney who served as
head of State Police under Sanders’ father, former governor
Mike Huckabee, has offered
lawmakers the testimony of a
client he says has firsthand
knowledge of the governor’s office interfering with public records requests.
The week after the audit request was approved, Sanders announced that the state was ordering the subsidiary of a Chinese company to divest itself of
160 acres of farmland. She also
signed an executive order banning agencies from using a list of
gender-neutral terms.
An outside group appears to
be aiding Sanders’ attempts to
change the subject, running a TV
ad praising the governor. An attorney identified on filings as the
treasurer for the group behind
the ad did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The super PAC supporting
former president Donald Trump
w i l l b eg in a i r in g a n att a c k
against Florida Governor Ron
DeSantis in Iowa, a shift in strategy after months of focusing its
messaging on its likely general
election opponent.
It will enter the rotation as
part of an ad buy totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars by
the group Make America Great
Again, which supports Trump. It
aims to paint DeSantis, with less
than three months before the
state’s first-in-the-nation caucuses, as insufficiently conservative, by accusing him of supporting statehood for Puerto Rico.
It marks a change in approach by the super political action committee, which abandoned negative ads about DeSantis at the start of this past
summer. The group shifted to
focusing on President Biden, beginning in August, a move that
might appeal to some primary
voters but that also sent the
message that Team Trump saw
DeSantis as a fading threat.
DeSantis’ team took something of a victory lap over the existence of the ad, with Andrew
Romeo, a spokesperson, saying
it showed that “after months of
pounding their chest that they
already had the race won, Team
Trump is now being forced to
publicly admit that Ron DeSantis is climbing in Iowa, and is a
dire threat to their chances of securing the nomination.”
An official with the super
PAC declined to comment on the
ad.
Trump’s team appears to be
trying to crush DeSantis in the
state where he has turned his focus in the remaining weeks before the caucuses. And the fresh
attacks are coming as he tries to
stave off Nikki Haley, the former
governor of South Carolina,
pushing him into a two-front political battle with reduced resources.
“Liberals have a plan to make
Puerto Rico a state, adding two
Democrats to the Senate, and
Ron DeSantis sided with the liberals’ power play,” the ad says.
“Ron DeSantis sponsored the
bill to make Puerto Rico a state.”
It ends by saying, “DeSantis
sided with the liberals and sold
out Iowa conservatives. Ron DeSantis is just plain wrong.”
The topic of statehood for
Puerto Rico, a US territory since
1898, has been politically
charged for years, with many
Republicans opposing it, suggesting it would help Democrats
electorally. As a congressman,
DeSantis, along with several
other members, cosponsored a
bill that did not openly call for
statehood for Puerto Rico, but
laid out a path by which it could
be accomplished.
DeSantis’ team pointed to a
statement Trump gave in early
2016, as a first-time candidate,
in which he also supported a
process for Puerto Rican statehood.
But since then, and during
his presidency, Trump was adamantly opposed to statehood,
primarily after officials in Puerto Rico criticized his performance in response to Hurricane
Maria.
DeSantis has also been critical of Puerto Rican statehood
more recently, and in starkly political terms.
In a recent virtual event with
voters in the Virgin Islands,
which is holding its primary in
February, DeSantis was asked
about whether he would support territories gaining a voice
in the Electoral College.
“Well, how would the Virgin
Islands vote for president —
would they be red or blue?” he
said to laughs, according to a recording of his remarks.
“I don’ t want to pony up
three electoral votes for the other team.”
He later added: “People are
Americans and they should be
treated as equal citizens. How
that works with the Electoral
College, you know, I’m not sure
that there’s going to be necessarily a movement on that front.”

BURKE, Arlene Marie

Passed away on October 12, 2023,
at the age of 95, in Boston, MA. He
graduated from Brooklyn College and
received his doctorate degree in chemistry at Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute.
He served in the military, working at a
bioanalysis laboratory in Rockville, MD.
His chemistry career encompassed a
broad spectrum that included positions
at Merck, Arthur D. Little, Inc., New
England Nuclear and Clinical Assays.
He was the first President of Unit
Owners of condominium associations
and trusts: Coolidge Village Association
(CVA) in Watertown, MA and Ocean
Place Condominium Trust (OPCT) in
Hull, MA.
Dr. Adler safeguarded unit owners’
financial interests and also worked
diligently to protect condominium
residents and other abutters against
potential adverse effects of actions from
business interests, including preventing the issuance of a liquor license for
a store at OPCT by Nantasket Beach,
and protecting residents from undue
exposure to the hazards of radiofrequency waves from cell phone towers to
be erected at OPCT roof top in Hull and
near CVA in Watertown. Adler and his
wife, Alegria, succeeded in protecting
the community as all these three applications were denied by two towns.
He is survived by his beloved and
loving wife, Alegria Caragay Adler;
brother, Jack Adler; nephews, Derek,
Jason and Gregory Adler; brothers-inlaw, Dr. Alfredo and Manuel Caragay;
sisters-in-law, Barbro Adler, Alma
Clarin and Dr. Marieta Caragay; and
24 nephews-in-law and nieces-in-law,
who have enriched and added joy to
Norman’s good life.

Son of Brooklyn and adopted son of
Cambridge, died on October 17th,
after succumbing to cancer and
all it’s brutality. He was a unique
character, full of contradictions and
inconsistencies. Throughout his life he
was fond of drink, better food, excellent
conversation, art and art criticism,
chess, working out, neurodiversity, a
midday nap, and rigorous intellectual
debate. He had little tolerance for
banged up body parts, slow thinkers,
and politics he didn’t believe. He was
challenging at times, demanding
(always), and not one for compromise
even in the face of consequences. For
the facts: this dude was smart. He
did not need a weatherman to know
which way the wind was blowing. He
was the first of his family to graduate
high school and went to Columbia
where he discovered politics, the left
and the insanity that came with it. He
had advanced degrees in philosophy
(always applicable to his life), as well
as computer science. He always lived
between NYC and Boston, but his
connections went beyond these places.
He connected deeply and was willing
to go down for what he believed was
right. He was a published author,
Yiddishkeit, freelance writer, art critic,
poet, gym rat, drummer, ladies man,
and notorious drink thief, who loved to
eat with his hands. On any given day
you might find Harvey playing chess,
and as he got older, Chinese chess,
working on a piece of art criticism, or
engaged in fierce debate. He is survived
by his daughter, Ariel Glick; son-in-law
Matthew Lindenbaum; his partner,
Pat (Patrice) Sherman; Ariel’s mother,
Barbara Glick; and his grandchildren,
Jack, Adeline, and Theodore
Lindenbaum.
There will be a Celebration of Life on
November 4th. Please be in touch for
more details. Donations in his memory
may be made to artfuse, https://

Penobscot, Maine
Robert Sprague Boit, former
president of Union Trust Company,
passed away peacefully on Oct. 24,
2023. He was born on April 4, 1931,
in Boston, the son of John Edward
and Marion Sprague Boit of Brookline,
Massachusetts.
A graduate of St. Paul’s School in
1949 and Harvard University in 1953,
he often joked that academics were not
his strong suit, and that he graduated
“summa good luck.” He made it
through one year of Harvard Business
School before deciding to enlist in the
U.S. Army, where he was trained in
counterintelligence and stationed in
Germany.
After returning to Boston, Bob
began a career in international
banking, eventually running the Paris,
France, office of the Bank of Boston.
In the early 1970s, he and his wife,
Bundy, made the decision to leave the
city behind when they purchased a
saltwater farm in Penobscot, Maine.
Bob became executive vice-president,
and later president, of Union Trust,
which was acquired by Camden
National Bank after he retired.
Community banking was his passion,
and Bob was immensely proud of the
bank’s success and of the people with
whom he worked.
In his spare time, Bob worked
tirelessly at his home on the Bagaduce
River, which he and Bundy named
Northern Bay Farm. He raised sheep,
chickens, ducks, rabbits, and even two
ponies, despite being severely allergic
to horses.
In his younger days, he was an avid
duck hunter, often rising in the early
morning hours to sit in a duck blind
before heading to the bank for work. He
later gave up hunting and renewed his
childhood interest in fly-fishing, which
he taught to his three sons. Bob and his
sons, and later his grandchildren, had
many memorable trips to the western
mountains of Maine to fish for native
brook trout. But his all-time favorite
pastime was mowing his fields on a
summer day at the farm. An amateur
landscape painter, he called his fields
his most loved canvas.
He is survived by his wife of 55
years, Bundy (Harding) Boit; his son,
Nick, and his wife, Belinda, of Ocean
Ridge, Florida; his daughter, Peggy, of
Waltham, Massachusetts; his son, Sam
of Vernon, Connecticut; and his son,
John and his wife, Kate, of Penobscot,
Maine. He is also survived by seven
grandchildren: Nathaniel, Jason, Henry,
Kathryn, Pearce, Oliver, and Zoe.
The family thanks the wonderful
nursing staff at Seaport Village
Healthcare in Ellsworth, Maine and
the staff from Gentiva Hospice. A
Celebration of Life will be planned for
family and friends.
Those who desire may make
contributions in Bob’s memory to the
charity of one’s choice.

CARNATHAN, Maxwell
Alexander

CARTER, William Robert
“Billy”

Age 24, a resident of Chelmsford,
passed away on Sunday, October 22,
2023, at his home. He was born in
Boston on September 19, 1999 and
was the son of Sean T. Carnathan
of Chelmsford and Kellie Rogan of
Old Town, FL. Maxwell. He grew
up in Arlington and then Concord,
Massachusetts. He attended the
Waldorf School in Lexington,
Massachusetts and graduated from
Concord-Carlisle High School, where
he played lacrosse and volleyball and
lettered for the wrestling team. Maxwell
earned his engineering certificate at
CCHS and received a special award for
“Excellence in Perseverance,” which
recognizes “students who demonstrated
perseverance in the face of adversity
and served as student role models
during their time at Concord-Carlisle
High School. While at CCHS, Max was
part of “Cohort XII” of the Rivers and
Revolutions Program, an experience
that meant a great deal to him and in
which he made enduring friendships.
He attended UMass-Lowell, where

A man of wisdom, caring, and
dedication to others, passed away
peacefully on September 15, at the age
of 91. Born in Orange, NJ, to Charles
and Mary (Hughes) Crowe, John
attended high school in Montclair, NJ,
and graduated from Dartmouth College
in 1954 where he was pre-med and
rowed varsity crew. John completed
Dartmouth Medical School’s two year
program and earned his MD at Harvard
Medical School in 1957. John trained
as a general surgeon at Peter Bent
Brigham Hospital in Boston and served
two years as a captain in the Air Force
in New York and Virginia.
From 1965 through 2002, John
had a distinguished career in general
surgery at Park Surgical Associates in
Stoughton, MA, and as Chief of Surgery
at Goddard Memorial Hospital and
at Cardinal Cushing Hospital, now
Good Samaritan Hospital. John taught
surgery at Harvard and Tufts Medical
Schools. He served as chair of the
board of directors of the Massachusetts
Medical Society and Alliance Charitable
Foundation, chair of the MMS
Charitable and Education Fund for
two decades, served on the Council of
the Massachusetts Medical Benevolent
Society, and served on the board of a
medical insurance company and as
a trustee of a local hospital. A loyal
alumnus, John interviewed applicants
to Dartmouth for many years.
John married his high school
sweetheart and the love of his life, Joan
Rutty, in 1955. By the time they were
30 years old, they had five children and
a very full household in Jamaica Plain.
In 1969 they moved to Canton, MA,
where they lived in the same house for
51 years making deep friendships and
transforming John into a hard core
Red Sox and Patriots fan. In 1966, they
bought an old hunting lodge on Kezar
Lake in Lovell, Maine and created a
magical spot for family gatherings.
Kezar Lake was truly John’s place of
relaxation and contentment through
the end of his days.
John is survived by his beloved
wife Joan; his sister June Croonquist
(George); his children Jeff (Amy), Betsy
(John), Bob (Olga), Susan (Alex) and
Andy (Carol); eleven grandchildren and
four-great grandchildren. His memory
will forever live on in their hearts. A

LUCAS, Louis “Lou”

LYNCH, John J.

A longtime resident of Dolliver Neck
in Gloucester, died peacefully Monday,
Oct. 23rd, at Care One at Essex Park,
Beverly.
His passing came just days after he
observed his 91st birthday in a balloonfilled room with family and friends. He
died the morning after he had watched
the New England Patriots upset the
Buffalo Bills, with his son, Trevor, and
wife, Dorothy, at his side.
Louis Lucas was born in Boston
on October 18, 1932 to Andromache
and Andon Lucas, both immigrants
from Albania. He was the second of
four children. He spent his early years
in Boston’s old West End before his
family moved to Somerville. In 1949, he
graduated from Somerville High school.
After graduating high school, he
worked for several years at various jobs
(a vinegar factory, a shoe warehouse,
a freight yard, a lumber yard, etc.). In
1953 he was inducted into the U.S.
Army during the Korean War, where
he served two years, mostly in the
military police unit in Hawaii. He
was discharged in 1954 and entered
Boston University under the GI Bill,
graduating in 1957 from BU School of
Management. He became a Certified
Public Accountant a few years later. He
also attended Cornell University and
the Federal Executive Institute.
After graduating from college, he
went on to work for the U.S. General
Accounting Office in Boston and
held a variety of positions over the
years, spending a great deal of time
in Washington, D.C. In this job, he
traveled extensively throughout the
country and overseas. The work
involved analyzing and evaluating
federal programs and activities for the
U.S. Congress to determine whether
they were being carried out efficiently
and effectively. Twice, he received the
GAO Meritorious Service Award. In
1970, he became the Assistant Regional
Manager of the Boston Office, and
served as the Regional Manager before
retiring from federal service in 1988,
after over 30 years. He then worked for
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
Office of the State Auditor for 12 years,
before officially retiring.
In 1972 he met the love of his life,
Dorothy Pyne of Melrose. They married
in 1978 and remained happily married
for 45 years. He had a son, Trevor
Lucas.
He lived in Boston’s North End for
many years. In 1980, he eventually
settled in Gloucester, where he lived for
the remainder of his life.
He was an active swimmer, golfer,
and jogger, running the Boston
Marathon 7 years in a row, completing
the first one at age 45. He has done
some real estate development in his
spare time and enjoyed playing stock
market through online trading. In later
years, he spent time renovating his
waterfront home at 81 Dolliver’s Neck
in Gloucester, MA that he loved. He was
very proud of his Albanian heritage,
returning to visit several times. He
was also active with many charitable
organizations.
Besides his wife, Dorothy; and son,
Trevor Lucas; he leaves his younger
brother, Peter Lucas of Westford;
younger sister, Lorene Lucas of
Maynard; his older brother, Daniel
Lucas of Lexington had previously
passed. He also leaves niece, Julieanne
Lee of Littleton; nephew Andon Lucas
of Westford; niece Amy Lucas of
Boston; niece Kimberly Langway of
Bedford; and niece Jill Findley of New
Jersey; along with and 4 grandnieces
and 3 grandnephews.

SMART, Jonathan
Died on October 17th, after surviving 16 months with brain cancer. His
wife and his mother were at his side.
Born in Bari, Italy in 1965 to Larry
O’Sullivan, a writer, and Gwen (Mahle)
O’Sullivan Romagnoli, an English
language instructor, he spent his early
childhood in Rome. At 10, he and his
mother moved to Cambridge, MA. Sean
graduated from Commonwealth School
(Boston) in 1983, where his classmates
included his future wife, Hannah Eigerman, and his lifelong friends, Doug
Hsiao and Myra Paci. Sean spent 198687 interning for The Boston Globe,
sports desk, which published a very
young man’s stories on a wide variety
of sports, excelling in coverage of the
Red Sox. Sean remained fiercely loyal
to Boston, and passed onto his children
an avid love of sports at every level.
Graduating from Princeton University,
summa cum laude, in 1988, Sean was
also awarded a Marshall Scholarship
and earned an additional degree from
the University of Bristol (UK), where
he studied film and theatre production.
In 1990, he reconnected with his highschool classmate, Hannah, and they
were married in 1996, in Newburyport,
MA. They first lived in New Haven, CT,
where Sean took a PhD in English at
Yale, class of 2001. He went on to teach
as an assistant professor at Clemson
University and then at The Ohio State
University, where he earned tenure as
an associate professor and served his
academic community for seventeen
years. His scholarship connected the
fields of film, television, narrative
theory, 19th-Century British literature,
and serial storytelling. He wrote a
book on British filmmaker Mike Leigh,
who became a friend, and academic
articles on television series such as The
Sopranos, Mad Men, and Deadwood.
He bubbled over with ideas, and wrote
about the work of Charles Dickens,
and director Ingmar Bergman. Sean’s
proudest lifework was helping to raise
his two children, Rory, born 2003, and
Eve, born 2006. They shared a profound love and he dedicated himself to
being their constant support. After his
diagnosis in June 2022, Sean endured
grueling treatment. He was determined
to teach one last class in spring 2023,
and, to both their joy, his son, an OSU
undergraduate, was able to attend.
Days before his death, from his hospital
bed, Sean proudly watched his daughter walk down the field in her school’s
senior soccer celebration. In addition to
his wife, children, and mother, all of Columbus, OH, Sean leaves behind scores
of devoted friends, colleagues, and relatives. A Celebration of Life Service will
be held at 3:00pm, Saturday, December
2nd, at The Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum at OSU, Sullivant Hall

“Once was enough.”
A Harvard lightweight crew member, Jon helped launch and manage

participated in numerous community

death, he was compiling a history of the
U.S. Navy SEALS of the Vietnam era.
Throughout his life, Jon was a quiet

Age 90, of Hingham, MA, died after
a brief recurrence of lung cancer, on
October 21, 2023. She was known for
her wry sense of humor, her interest
and involvement in politics, her
devotion to her family and friends
and her love of classical music and
the arts. Iris was born in Boston in

administrative assistant to the head of
the Department of Architecture. It was
there that she met her future husband,
Ralph, in 1960, where he was studying
for his architecture degree. “She had
such style,” Ralph said, “that heads
would turn when she walked across the
drafting room.” They were married in
London in 1962. Iris and Ralph raised
their children, Jeff and Elizabeth,
in Newton, where Iris was actively
involved in the PTA and Newton
politics. She later worked in several
administrative positions, including the
Center for Survey Research at UMass
Boston. In 2000, Iris and Ralph retired
and moved to Centerville on Cape Cod,
where they lived for 15 years. They then
relocated to Linden Ponds in Hingham.

WHITNEY, Heather Ann

A loving mother, daughter, sister, and
friend. She left this world suddenly
on October 21, 2023, at the age of 62.
Heather was born to Malcolm and
Edith Whitney on November 11, 1960,
and was born and raised in Watertown.
She attended Buckingham Browne and
Nichols, Class of 1978. After graduating
from the University of Massachusetts
Amherst, Class of 1982, Heather began
her career in insurance at J.M. Whitney
Insurance and Real Estate. She looked
forward to each day she was able to
spend supporting her father’s business
and the entire Watertown community.
Heather spent 17 wonderful years in
Weston, MA, where she raised her
two children, Brooke, and Pierce.
Heather’s children were her joy, and
she ensured that their lives were full
of love and warmth. She was always
there: cheering them on at every sports
game, making delicious home cooked
meals, and offering kind words on even
the worst days. Her positive nature
was infectious, and radiated to all who
encountered her, friend and stranger
alike. Heather cherished weekends
on the Cape with her mother, Edith,
where she could always be found sitting
out on the back deck enjoying a new
book. She was a devoted Patriots fan
and never missed a Sunday; her cheers
could be heard from miles away. While
in Watertown, she was a dedicated
supporter of the Watertown Boys and
Girls Club since its inception, where she
served on the board for over 5 years.
She was heavily involved in various
fundraisers for the club, specifically
starting the Watertown Boys and Girls
Memorial Golf Tournament. When she
wasn’t supporting the Boys and Girls
Club, she was constantly seeking out
ways to give back through the local food
pantry and donating clothes to families
in need. There was no limit to her
generosity. She firmly believed in giving
back to the community and those less
fortunate, a value she has passed on to
her children. Heather is survived by her
mother, Edith Whitney; her brother,
Curtis Whitney; her sister, Holly
Fitzgerald, her niece, Luella Fitzgerald,
her former husband, Christopher
Kennedy, and their two children,
Brooke and Pierce Kennedy, who will
continue to spread her light and love
to all of those around them. We love
and miss her immensely and want
her to know that. We will remember
her warmth, her caring nature, and
the joy she brought to everyone she
met. Visitation will be held Sunday,
October 29th at MacDonald Rockwell
& MacDonald Funeral Home, 270
Main Street, WATERTOWN, from 3-6
PM. A Mass of Episcopal Burial will
be held at Church of Our Redeemer, 6
Meriam Street, Lexington, on Monday,
October 30, at 10 AM. Friends are
welcome. In lieu of flowers, donations
in the name of Heather may be made

Former Chinese premier Li Keqiang, who looked to limit state reach
By Chris Buckley and
Keith Bradsher
NEW YORK TIMES

TAIPEI — Li Keqiang, China’s former premier who came
to power promising to improve
the lot of private companies and
restrain the reach of the state
but was overshadowed by the
hard-line top leader, Xi Jinping,
died early Friday. He was 68.
Mr. L i , w h o was v isiti ng
Shanghai, suffered a heart attack Thursday and died just after midnight Friday, China Central Television, the state broadcaster, announced. “All efforts to
resuscitate him failed,” its report
said.
Mr. Li, who had a doctorate
in economics, exemplified a generation of highly educated Chinese leaders who rose up as Mao
Zedong’s generation faded from
politics. As premier, Mr. Li
spoke of giving markets a greater role in the economy, and he
promised a fairer playing field
for private companies, saying
they would get the same access
as state-owned firms to bank
loans, land, and other resources.
But his efforts had limited
success as he and his allies lost
much of their influence. Xi, China’s most dominant leader in
decades, instead promoted a circle of loyalists, defended a central role for state-owned enterprises, and pushed for tight supervision of the economy by the
ruling Communist Party, emphasizing security and ideology
over growth.
“Li Keqiang is not really a
symbol of a bygone reform era,
as some are making out,” Richard McGregor, a senior fellow for
East Asia at the Lowy Institute in
Sydney, wrote in an email hours
after the death was announced.
“He is really a symbol of the Xi
Jinping era, in which putative reformers like Li were sidelined
and stripped of agency.”
An official obituary of Mr. Li
issued late in the day described
him as a dedicated official, loyal
to Xi as he administered China’s
economic policies and the government’s response to COVID19, helping to steer the country
through turbulent times.
“ We must turn grief into
strength, and learn from his revolutionary spirit, noble character and outstanding work style,”
the obituary said, urging the
country to rally around Xi.
Many Chinese social media
users, who were shocked at Mr.

NOEL CELIS/AFP VIA GETTY IMAGES

China’s President Xi Jinping (left) spoke with Premier Li Keqiang during the opening of the National People’s Congress at the
Great Hall of the People in Beijing on March 5, 2023. Below, he met with then-President Donald Trump in Beijing in 2017.

Li’s death, saw his legacy differently. Shen Yachuan, a lawyer
and former investigative journalist who uses the pen name
Shi Feike, said that some Chinese, like him, would remember
Mr. Li for his relatively liberal
image and his advocacy of market reforms.
“He may not have been a
strong and forceful politician,
nor a proficient public speaker,”
Shen wrote in a post on WeChat.
“But in my impression, almost
all his public expressions were
closely related to keywords such
as democracy, rule of law, market economy and government
streamlining.
“May this elderly man who
was aligned with the direction
of his time rest in peace!” he
wrote.
Mr. Li will also likely be remembered for an anecdote that
gave birth to a closely watched,
unofficial economic gauge. In
2007, when he was the leader of
Liaoning province, Mr. Li privately acknowledged to the US
ambassador to China that Beijing’s official economic statistics
were “manmade” and unreliable, according to a confidential
diplomatic cable released in

2010 by WikiLeaks.
He was described as having
said that instead of focusing on
gross domestic product, he
looked at railway freight traffic,
electricity consumption, and the
value of loans disbursed. That
alternative measure of growth
in China became known as the
“Li Keqiang Index.”
Mr. Li stepped down as premier in March after two terms,
in line with China’s constitutionally defined term limits. He
could have been appointed to
another senior role, but he had
been effectively pushed out last
October, when he was left off the
lineup of the 24-member Politburo, the second tier of power,
in a leadership reshuffle. His retirement into obscurity became
a certainty.
Li Keqiang was born in July
1955 in Hefei, the capital of Anhui province in eastern China.
He was the son of a minor Communist Party official, Li Fengsan, and his wife Cao Lijun. Information about his survivors
was not immediately available.
Mr. Li was among the first
students to win a place at the
prestigious Peking University after China restored university en-

JIM WATSON/AFP VIA GETTY IMAGES

trance exams in the late 1970s,
following the Cultural Revolution, a decadelong period of political turmoil.
He was a law student at a
time of widespread intellectual
ferment, and his friends included democracy advocates, some
of whom went into exile after
the bloody June 1989 crackdown on the Tiananmen pro-democracy movement.
“I was a student at Peking
University for close to a decade,
while a so-called ‘knowledge explosion’ was rapidly expanding,”
Mr. Li wrote in an essay pub-

lished in a 2008 book. “I was
searching for not just knowledge, but also to mold a temperament, to cultivate a scholarly
outlook.”
Former classmates recalled
that Mr. Li tirelessly studied
English, muttering words and
phrases to himself even while
standing in line for meals at the
university canteen.
“His leanings were clearly
pro-Western ideas. He certainly
wasn’t conservative,” Yang Baikui, a former Peking University
student who translated a book
by an English judge with Mr. Li,

said in 2011. “When he opened
his mouth, it wasn’t Mao slogans.”
Mr. Li considered applying to
study abroad, but university officials persuaded him to stay at
Peking, where he became a leader of the official student society,
a former classmate, Tao Jingzhou, recalled in an essay.
While some of his classmates
headed into academia and legal
work or became political dissidents, Mr. Li turned to a career
in the Communist Party, joining
the Youth League, which became
a channel for ambitious graduates to climb into officialdom.
In 1998, when Mr. Li was 42,
he was sent to Henan province
in central China, becoming the
nation’s youngest governor and
later the province’s party leader,
a more important post. Under
his watch, however, a scandal
erupted over the spread of HIV
through the commercial sale of
blood in Henan’s impoverished
countryside. Mr. Li endured the
fallout, and in late 2004 he became the party secretary of Liaoning, an industrial province
struggling with decline in its
rust belt cities.
With his advanced degrees,
experience in provincial government, and patronage from Hu
Jintao — then the head of the
party, China’s most powerful
post — Mr. Li was seen as a contender to succeed Hu. Instead,
Xi, the “princeling” son of a
Communist Party revolutionary,
prevailed and was named party
leader in late 2012, later becoming president as well. Mr. Li became premier, the No. 2 position
in the government.
In his first remarks as premier, in 2013, Mr. Li vowed to
rein in the unwieldy bureaucracy and remove obstacles to private investment. “Reforming is
about curbing government power,” he said in his remarks,
which were broadcast live on
television.
“It is a self-imposed revolution that will require real sacrifice, and it will be painful.”
But over the past decade, Xi
muscled Mr. Li aside on a broad
range of policy issues. Xi created
a series of Communist Party
commissions to make policy on
issues such as national security,
the economy, and finance, supplanting much of the policymaking role once played by government ministries, which reported to Mr. Li as the premier.

Vincent Asaro, mobster acquitted in Lufthansa heist detailed in ‘Goodfellas’; at 86
By Sam Roberts
NEW YORK TIMES

NEW YORK — Vincent Asaro, a career mobster who was
found not guilty of murder and
of helping to organize the staggering $6 million Lufthansa
heist at John F. Kennedy Airport — one of the biggest cash
heists in American history —
only to be sentenced to prison
when he was 82 over road-rage
revenge, died Sunday in
Queens. He was 86.
His death was confirmed by
Gerald McMahon, a lawyer who
successfully represented him in
the Lufthansa case. No cause
was given.
The brazen theft in 1978 of
$5 million in cash and $1 million in jewels from a vault at a
Lufthansa hangar at Kennedy
Airport figured prominently in
the book “Wiseguy” (1985) by
Nicholas Pileggi and the Martin
Scorsese film “G oodfellas”
(1990).
Authorities had suspected
the Mafia’s involvement, but
the case remained unsolved
and the investigation closed until Mr. Asaro was arrested in
2014, linking him and the Bonanno crime family to the robbery.
He was also accused of using
a dog chain in 1969 to strangle
Paul Katz, the owner of a warehouse where Mr. Asaro and
James “Jimmy the Gent” Burke,
who was suspected of masterminding the Lufthansa theft
(and who was portrayed by
Robert DeNiro in “Goodfellas”),
stored their stolen loot. Mr.
Asaro and Burke had believed
Katz was an informer after the
warehouse was raided by the
police.
The indictment implicated
Mr. Asaro in a sweeping conspiracy in which he was also accused of robbing FedEx (then
Federal Express) of $1.25 mil-

BRENDAN MCDERMID/REUTERS/FILE 2014

Mr. Asaro was escorted by FBI agents in New York on Jan. 23, 2014. His acquittal in 2015 on
charges related to the Lufthansa heist that took place decades earlier stunned prosecutors.
lion of gold salts, which can be
used in medicinal treatments;
bullying his way into the pornography business; and seeking (unsuccessfully) to bump
off a cousin who had testified
about an insurance scam.
Mr. Asaro’s 2015 trial was a
sensation.
Though the robbery had taken place more than three decades earlier, it had been immortalized in the book and
film, and even for younger New
Yorkers, it felt like a coda to the
“Godfather” era.
Moreover, the key witness
against Mr. Asaro was another
cousin, Gaspare Valenti, who
had been a government informant since 2008 and had secretly recorded Mr. Asaro from

2010 to 2013.
Valenti’s testimony on the
stand was a jaw-dropping
breach of the Mafia’s code of silence.
It also revealed the devolution of a ruthless mobster who
in his day job could suggest to
customers which fences to buy
from his store in Ozone Park,
Queens, while in his other life
he could impatiently advise a
younger mob associate who
had asked him how best to collect a debt: “Stab him today.”
Mr. Asaro’s acquittal in 2015
was so stunning — not only to
the prosecution, but to Mr. Asaro himself — that as he left the
courthouse and got into a car,
he giddily joked: “Don’ t let
them see the body in the trunk.”

Ironically, the automobile
reference returned to haunt
him two years later. He was accused of recruiting a mob associate, who in turn recruited
John J. Gotti, the grandson of
the former Gambino family
boss, to torch the car of a motorist who had cut off Mr. Asaro
at a traffic light.
The driver was pursued at
high speed by Mr. Asaro to no
avail. The associate used law
enforcement sources to track
the license plate, after which
Gotti and two other men located the car in Broad Channel,
Queens; doused it with gasoline; and set it ablaze. An offduty police officer parked nearby witnessed the auto-da-fe and
pursued the arsonists, but they

sped away in a Jaguar.
Surprisingly, after a lifetime
of denying culpability in crime,
Mr. Asaro not only pleaded
guilty but also apologized for
what he acknowledged was “a
stupid thing I did.”
He could have been sentenced to 20 years in prison.
The prosecution asked for 15,
pointing out that although Mr.
A saro had “par ticipated in
racketeering, murder, robbery,
extortion, loan-sharking, gambling and other illegal conduct,
he has served less than eight
years in jail.”
In December 2017, US District Judge Allyne Ross ordered
him to serve eight years —
which, at 80, Mr. Asaro described as “a death sentence” —
and to pay $21,276 in restitution to the owner of the car.
“If he had not aged out of a
life of crime at the age of 77,”
Ross said, referring to his age
during the opening phases of
the Lufthansa trial, over which
she presided, “I have little hope
that he will do so.”
Vincent A. Asaro was born
on July 10, 1937, in Queens to
Joseph and Victoria Asaro, who
separated when he was a teenager.
His uncle, Michael Zaffarano, owned buildings housing
adult theaters, distributed pornography, and worked as a
bodyguard for Joseph Bonanno, who ran his eponymous
crime family for nearly four decades.
In 1957, Mr. Asaro married
Theresa Myler; they divorced in
2005.
Mr. Asaro’s sur vivors include his son, Jerome. He was
a r r e s t e d w i t h h i s f at h er in
2014, pleaded guilty to racketeering, and was sentenced to 7
1/2 years’ imprisonment.
Vincent Asaro racked up numerous charges and convic-

tions over the course of his life.
Among them, he was convicted
in federal court in 1970 and
1972 for the theft of an interstate shipment and burglary of
a post office. In 1998 he was
sentenced in state court in New
York to four to 12 years in prison for enterprise corruption
and criminal possession of stolen property.
Three decades after the notorious Lufthansa heist, the
beggarly, but still choleric,
gangster had, according to
prosecutors, squandered his
$500,000 share of the loot on
gambling and depleted whatever he had collected from his unforgiving manner of pursuing
delinquent borrowers. He had
hocked his jewelry and was
seen shopping at a Waldbaum’s
supermarket for orzo and lentils.
According to a conversation
recorded by Valenti that was
played in court in 2015, he was
even unwelcome at the local social club where he had celebrated the heist.
“People hate me in there,”
Mr. Asaro said. “I don’t pay my
dues.”
Ev e n h i s e s t ra n ge d s o n ,
whom he had initiated into the
Mafia and had by then outranked him, rebuffed him when
he desperately sought to borrow money, according to another recording.
Mr. Asaro had a stroke during his imprisonment for ordering the vehicle arson, which left
him partially paralyzed. In
2020, he was granted a compassionate release from the US
Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Mo., because of his age and vulnerability to COVID-19.
“ He o b v i o u s l y h a d n i n e
lives,” McMahon said after Mr.
Asaro’s death. “But this must
have been the tenth.”

‘Nobody has ever studied the microbiology of a geyser.’
ERIC BOYD, Montana State University microbiology professor

Old Faithful is boiling, smelly, and the perfect home for some
By Sarah Derouin
NEW YORK TIMES

Yellowstone National Park is
a North American hot spot for
wildlife. The park’s mountains,
forests, and meadows are home
to the largest concentration of
mammals in the lower 48 states,
including the native bison and a
restored population of gray
wolves. Millions of visitors flock
to the park each year, waiting for
a glimpse of the diverse wildlife.
It turns out that other popular features at Yellowstone — hydrothermal springs, pools, and
geysers that steam and bubble —
are also a unique habitat for living things. Instead of charismatic mammals and birds, they are
home to chaos-loving microbes.
Scientists have long studied
the hydrologic features of Yellowstone’s springs and pools,
“but nobody has ever studied
the microbiology of a geyser,”
said Eric Boyd, a professor of
microbiology at Montana State
University.
One reason they were ignored? Geysers are volatile. Old
Faithful, a popular draw at Yellowstone, erupts every 90 minutes or so, shooting boiling water 100 feet or more toward the
sky. The water tumbles through
the cold-by-comparison air,
plunges, then sinks back into
the hot pools below.

It was hard to comprehend
that anything could survive this
brutal cycle. But in research presented last week at the Geological Society of America annual
meeting, Boyd and colleagues
showed that Yellowstone’s geysers are perfect homes for some
tiny creatures.
To test the waters, the team
captured falling liquid during
Old Faithful’s eruption. Back in
the lab, the samples were
doused with a chemical designed to make tiny microbes
fluoresce.
“We saw cells, and that was
really exciting,” said Lisa Keller,
a doctoral candidate at Montana
State. “But we needed to rule out
that that wasn’t contamination
because we’re catching water
that’s flying through the air.”
After feeding the microbes
and heating up the Old Faithful
samples to their home temperatures, there was a flurry of activity at around 195 degrees Fahrenheit and a glimmer of action
at 160 degrees. Keller explained
that this showed the microorganisms were not only acclimated to the higher temperatures,
but that they also preferred the
heat.
The team used DNA testing
to identify the microorganisms
living in the vents and pools of
the geyser. Thermocrinis, a

LISA KELLER VIA NEW YORK TIMES

Instruments collected water samples at Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone National Park.
group of bacteria species that
loves heat and converts chemicals to energy, made up more
than 60 percent of the microbes
at Old Faithful.
Members of two other heatloving microorganism genuses,
Thermus and Pyrobaculum,
added to the plume’s microdiversity.
The researchers “correlated

the different groups of microorganisms to different environmental conditions, which is very
cool,” said Alfonso Davila, an astrobiologist at NASA Ames who
was not part of the study. He
said the work showed that a diverse microbiome could develop
within a relatively small geyser
system.
The team suggested that the

diversity was driven by the dyn a m i c e nv i r o n m e n t a t O l d
Faithful, which provides everything that some microbes need
to thrive: sulfur compounds,
carbon, and steamy water.
Supporting their hypothesis,
Keller noted that calm pools
with no turbulent eruptions had
much less population-level biodiversity than they saw in the

geyser.
“The geyser is a hostile, inhospitable environment. Yet, it’s
almost like a cradle for biodiversity,” Boyd said, adding that in
the sulfurous, volcano-heated,
carbon-dioxide-laden waters of
Old Faithful, Thermocrinis is
“happy as a clam.”
And what about geysers beyond our home planet? Evidence
of geysers on Saturn’s ice-covered ocean moon, Enceladus,
and Jupiter ’s moon Europa
could host the conditions needed for microbes to prosper. Finding evidence off Earth is not farfetched.
Discovering life in Old Faithful helps astrobiologists better
understand life in such extremes, Davila said.
“The fact that life can grow
on Earth in those particular conditions tells us something about
the biological potential” in places like Enceladus, Europa or
even Mars, he said.
While it may be many years
before scientists get a look at potential evidence of life in those
far-off worlds, here at home we
have Yellowstone, which Boyd
said is home to half of the roughly 1,000 geysers in the world.
And the more scientists study
geysers in Yellowstone and other
parts of the world, the more they
may find.

American
tragedy, again
And now Maine.
On Wednesday night, a
gunman armed with a weapon of war went on a deadly
rampage in a Lewiston bowling alley and a bar, killing 18.
In Maine’s second-largest
city, like everywhere, people
are shocked that the kind of
mass murder that lays waste to other places has
found their beloved community too.
“We always have weapons around, that’s
just what we do. We’ve never had anything like
this happen here,” one resident told the Globe.
“Like, it is something you think would never
happen,” a child grazed by a bullet at the bowling alley told PBS. “I never thought I’d grow up
and get a bullet in my leg. Why?”
“We’re going: ‘This is Maine. This is not happening. This stuff doesn’t happen in Maine. Everybody’s nice. We usually don’t have problems,” a man who was bowling when the gunman started firing told the New York Times.
Who ever expects this? And, at this point,
who ever doesn’t?
How could this happen in tight-knit Lewiston? And in such quintessential hubs of American community – a beloved bowling alley, a bar
hosting a cornhole competition?
How could this happen in a Louisville bank?
How could this happen at a Christian elementary school in Nashville? How could this happen at a California mushroom farm? How
could this happen at a Lunar New Year celebration in Monterey Park? How could this happen
at a Walmart in Chesapeake? How could it happen at another Walmart in El Paso? How could
this happen at a gay club in Colorado Springs,
and another in Orlando? How could this happen at a Fourth of July Parade in Highland
Park?
How could this happen at a Uvalde elementary school? How could it happen at an elementary school in Sandy Hook? How could this
happen at a Tops supermarket in Buffalo? How
could this happen at a high school in Michigan?
How could this happen at a FedEx warehouse
in Indianapolis? How could this happen at a
college in Michigan, in Virginia, in California,
in Illinois? How could this happen at an Aurora
movie theater? How could this happen at a
country music festival in Las Vegas? How could
this happen at a Baptist church in Sutherland
Springs, an AME church in Charleston, a synagogue in Pittsburgh?
If each of these places wasn’t quintessentially American before, it is now – that status rendered incontrovertible and indelible as soon as
the first shots were fired.
“Every one of these situations is so tragic, so
outside of the norm, that it makes it difficult for
community members of all types in all locations…to fathom how these kinds of things occur in the greatest country in the world,”
Maine’s Public Safety Commissioner Michael
Sauschuck said last week.
How great can a country be that lets this
happen, over and over?
Leaders in Washington and in too many
states block the most pathetic, basic gun safety
measures because they’re entirely owned by the
gun lobby, and terrified of offending voters
trained to believe unfettered access to guns is
the most sacrosanct of American values. The
gun manufacturers grow their profits and expand a market they saturated long ago by turning an entire political party into Second
Amendment absolutists who sport AR-15 pins
on their lapels alongside their American flags.
All of those bodies piling up around the
country, tearing chasms of grief into random
communities, aren’t enough to persuade. There
will never be enough death to give most of
these politicians pause.
Reinstate a ban on weapons designed to
massacre as many people as possible? Heaven
forfend!
Though now that one of the weapons he voted not to ban has torn through his own community, Lewiston Democratic Representative
Jared Golden has decided prohibiting them
makes sense after all. Better too late than never.
The rest of them will not be moved. Keeping
guns away from people who are a danger to
themselves and others, including domestic
abusers and those exhibiting signs of mental illness; banning accessories that allow shooters to

Maine suspect bought guns recently
Officials say purchases were legal, unknown if
those weapons used in Wednesday’s rampage
By Laura Crimaldi

GLOBE STAFF

LEWISTON, Maine — Law enforcement
officials on Saturday said some of the firearms Robert R. Card II possessed when he
opened fire at a bowling alley and bar days
earlier, killing 18 people, were recent acquisitions that he purchased through legal
means.
The officials didn’t specify whether the
weapon used in the killings was among
Card’s recent purchases, but said police recovered a long gun from the white Subaru he
abandoned near the Androscoggin River on
Wednesday night and located two more firearms near his body. Officers found Card’s
body Friday night in an unlocked truck trailer at a recycling center in Lisbon where he
had previously worked.
Officials disclosed the new details about
Card’s weapons during a news conference

Saturday morning in Lewiston, where photographs of the victims were displayed on a
large screen behind the speakers.
“There’s been a number of firearms that
have been recovered as part of this investigation,” said James M. Ferguson, special agent
in charge at the Boston office of the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. “And some of them were...purchased very recently, and some of them years
and years ago.”
No further details were released about
the makes and models of the firearms that
police have linked to Card, 40, who lived in
Bowdoin, and officials didn’t specify whether any additional firearms were seized beyond what officers found near his body and
in his vehicle.
Police also delved deeper into Card’s history with the mental health system, saying
no evidence has emerged of Card being or-

Dr. Sheldon Stevenson was at home hosting 10 fellow

night around 7:30. Colleagues at his hospital, Central
Maine Medical Center in Lewiston, were resuscitating a
gunshot victim. More were on the way.
Stevenson, the hospital’s chief of emergency medicine,
had been expecting this call to come one day; mass shootings had grown far too common. “I remember thinking,
‘Here it is,’” he said.
With scarcely a word, the doctors stood up and decided who would stay behind and take over for the others the

When a child becomes ill, and then things get worse

Let’s say you have a comfortable life
with three children, two incomes, and a
house with a white picket fence. You’re living the dream — until the unthinkable happens. One of your kids gets hit by a car or is
diagnosed with a serious illness.
These are agonizing scenarios for any
family. But suppose it gets worse: You have
to quit your job to look after your child, and
you lose your health insurance. Your income plummets. You can’t pay your bills.
What if it’s even more dire? You’re a lowpaid hourly worker, your rent keeps going
up, and you have to move every year. You
can’t afford the associated costs of your
child’s illness — the medications, the hospi-

‘trying to stay strong’
as Israel makes move

Ex-lawyer
found guilty
of trying to
bribe chief

Sill waiting to
cross the border
into Egypt

By Maeve Lawler
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

A former Somerville lawyer
was convicted Friday of trying to
bribe Medford’s police chief to
approve a recreational marijuana dispensary, according the
Massachusetts US Attorney’s office.
Sean O’Donovan, 56, of
Somerville, was found guilty by
a federal jury in Boston on “two
counts of honest services wire
fraud and one count of bribery
concerning programs receiving
federal funds,” Acting US Attorney Joshua S. Levy’s office said
in a statement.
The verdict came more than
a year after O’Donovan was arrested.
Sentencing is scheduled for
Feb. 7. He faces a maximum of
20 years in prison for each of the
two honest services wire fraud
counts and a maximum of 10
years on the federal funds bribery count, the statement said.
O’Donovan paid a bribe to influence Medford Police Chief
Jack Buckley to approve a recreational marijuana business in
Medford for O’Donovan’s client,
according to court documents
and evidence presented at trial.
“Sean O’Donovan’s greed led
him to engage in this old school
bribery scheme to line his own
pocket,” Levy said. “His plot
failed because of the unquestioned integrity of Medford Police Chief Jack Buckley and his
brother. Upholding the rule of
law and holding lawyers who
break the law accountable is an
essential priority of this office.”
In February 2021, O’Donovan approached Buckley’s brother and offered to pay him
$25,000 to speak with the chief
about his client’s application to
sell recreational marijuana,
Levy’s office said.
O’Donovan would have received at least $100,000 each
year from the dispensary if the
application was approved, the
statement said. He did not tell
his client about the bribery
scheme, Levy’s office said.
After the brother told Buckley about the offer, Buckley “immediately alerted federal authorities,” the statement said.
Buckley had recently been
appointed to serve on a committee to rank these types of applications on behalf of Medford’s
mayor, the statement said.

Members of Local 32BJ of the Service Employees International Union marched to the Boston
Common for a rally Saturday.

Janitors at buildings across R.I.,
Mass. vote to authorize a strike
By Jesús Marrero Suárez
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

More than 12,000 unionized
janitors at commercial business
buildings in Massachusetts and
Rhode Island are prepared to
go on strike within weeks if
contract negotiations fall apart.
Massing in downtown Boston, hundreds of workers with
Local 32BJ of the Service Employees International Union
voted to authorize their bargaining committee to call a
strike if it deems necessary.
The union has been in contract negotiations with representatives of the Maintenance
Contractors of New England for
the last few months, said Roxana Rivera, assistant to the president of the local. Its current
contract expires Nov. 15.
The union is pushing for
higher wages, expanded opportunities to work full time, and
stronger work protections, as
well as improvements to benefits, vacations, paid time off,
and holidays.
Michael White, president of
the contractors’ association,
did not immediately respond to
a request for comment Saturday.
“It’s about respect of this
workforce,” Rivera said.
“It is a fight for these workers to be seen for what they do

in the value of their hard work.”
About two-thirds of the janitors, who work for contractors
in the building industry, are
part-timers, Rivera said.
Marlen Salgado, who works
at a pharmaceutical building in
Cambridge, said she switched
from part-time to full-time
work last year. She said the
change was significant in helping her make ends meet.
“That additional income is
what helps us helps us with
food and housing,” she said in
Spanish.
Many members pointed to
the sacrifices they made as essential workers early in the
pandemic. Bargaining committee member Ana Gonzalez said
more than 200 union workers
died during that time.
“After all that, they didn’t
even give us a thank you,” she
said in Spanish.
“Forget a wage increase. Instead, what we’ve seen is an increase in workload, and an inflation that leaves us with less
money each passing month.”
Rivera said a majority of
union workers are immigrants
and people of color, many of
whom saw a “huge loss [of ] life
in their communities.”
“They risked their personal
health and safety,” Rivera said.
Before the vote, city and

state officials attending a Boston rally issued remarks in support of the union’s efforts.
“A strike is a statement,”
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu
said. “A statement that you’re
willing to withhold your labor
and go without pay. The decision is a personal one and it is
yours to make, but I want you
to know that the City of Boston
stands with you.”
“Too often, your contribution and this workforce is invisible to many. But we are here
today to make sure that they
see you,” Representative Ayanna Pressley said.
“We’ll be with you until you
stand up from the bargaining
table with a fair new agreement.”
On Wednesday, the Boston
City Council adopted a resolution in recognition and support
of the union’s contract campaign.
Many in the crowd wore
purple SEIU T-shirts and a few
union members brought children with them. After the vote,
demonstrators marched down
Berkeley and Boylston streets
into Boston Common.

An American family from
Medway remained trapped in
Gaza on Saturday as they waited
for word on when they could escape the war zone amid an expanded ground operation by Israeli forces.
The nearly three-week war
between Israel and Hamas —
triggered by an Oct. 7 attack by
Hamas militants on Israel that
left more than 1,400 people
dead and more than 200 taken
hostage — has killed more than
7,700 Palestinians in Gaza, according to the Associated Press.
And in the middle of the conflict are Abood Okal, along with
his wife, Wafaa Abuzayda, and
the couple’s 1-year-old son,
Yousef, who have been sheltering in a crowded single-family
home in Rafah, near Gaza’s border with Egypt.
They’ve been in Rafah for two
weeks in hopes of crossing into
Egypt. But despite repeated urging by the US State Department,
Okal said, they have not been allowed to leave Gaza. But his family remains hopeful that they will
return home any day, he said.
“ That’s what we tell ourselves,” Okal said. “That’s the only way for us to keep going because if we lose that hope, or if
we believe otherwise, we could
end up in a very dark space, psychologically, so we’re trying to
stay strong and we’re trying to
live another day.”
The war has reverberated in
Massachusetts. The daughter
and son-in-law of Brandeis University professor Ilan Troen were
killed by Hamas terrorists during the Oct. 7 invasion; they died
saving their teenage son, according to Troen. Massachusetts
families have loved ones who
have been deployed as part of Israel’s armed forces.
US citizens with Massachusetts ties, including a family
from Plymouth and the aunt of
an Arlington resident who is an
aid worker in Gaza, remain
trapped in the territory.
And the war has sparked increasingly bitter divides between
supporters of Israel and the Palestinians.
The day after the war began,

Common to show solidarity with
Israel, including political leaders. Senator Edward J. Markey
was booed by some demonstrators when he called for “a de-escalation of the current violence.”
Jewish protesters at a proPalestinian rally outside Senator
Elizabeth Warren’s office were
arrested during a sit-in Oct. 18.
Over two weeks ago, protesters chained themselves to the
doors of Elbit Systems of America’s location in Cambridge. The
company was protested because
it is an Israeli defense contractor, according to NBC Boston.
Okal and his family were visiting his wife’s relatives in northern Gaza when the war began,
and they fled the region when Israeli forces issued an evacuation
order, arriving in Rafah about
two weeks ago, he has said.
Now Okal, along with his
wife and son, are staying in the
Rafah home, packed with roughly 40 people, including about 10
children. Among them are Okal’s
sister and her three children,
who are from New Jersey, his
brother, and his parents, he said.
They are in constant fear of
bombardment, and Okal has repeatedly described shelling near
the house that has shaken the
building and sent vast cloud
plumes skyward.
He and his wife have taken to
keeping their son close, in order
to protect him from the shelling,
Okal said in an audio recording
shared with the Globe Saturday.
“Every night, we try to sandwich Yousef in between us,” Okal
said. “This way, in case the house
was targeted for some reason, or if
a nearby bombing happens, in case
[of] flying debris or shattered glass
made its way [in] at least he would
be protected to some degree.”
They have food, but clean water is scarce. Filtration systems
are available, but with dwindling fuel supplies for their generators, they may not be usable
for long, according to Okal.
Overnight, from Friday into
Saturday, he said, “was probably
the hardest for us since the beginning of the war,” he said.
They tried to sleep amid the
attacks, but got little rest, he said.
“We all huddled together so close
so that in case something happens unpredicted, we would all
at least face the same fate,” Okal
said. “We would stay together, or
basically be gone together.”

all of these tiny safety measures
are non-starters.
The guns are never the problem. No, it’s always something
else: They’ll tell you mass shootings are caused not by firearms
but by mental illness, or by video games, or by “the human
heart,” or abortion, or by teaching evolution (those last three
come courtesy of our new House
Speaker, a Christian Nationalist
now second in line to the presidency). Better values and good
guys with guns will save us.
Their posture defies not just
logic and morality, but democracy, too: Most Americans – including their own voters – support the meager safety measures
conservatives refuse to entertain. But their party has lost its
taste for democracy, too.
In the greatest country in the

what matter now – and not necessarily in that order.
How could it happen here?

One dead, one hurt in MASS SHOOTING IN MAINE
shooting at Worcester
At vigil, neighbors gather and grieve
State University
By John Hilliard
GLOBE STAFF

One person was dead and
another hospitalized following
a shooting at Worcester State
Un i v e r s i t y e a r l y S a t u r d a y
morning, triggering an overnight lockdown at the campus,
Worcester District Attorney Joseph Early said at a news conference.
Authorities have arrested a
person who was at the shooting
scene, which occ urred in a
campus parking lot, Early said.
Neither of the victims nor the
person under arrest are university students, he said, and the
shooting does not appear to be
a random act.
“As far as this incident goes,
from everything we can tell, the
university is a safe campus
right now,” Early said.
Worcester Interim Police
Chief Paul Saucier said the suspect under arrest was charged
with possession of a firearm
and trespassing. A firearm has
been recovered, he said.
Early declined to release the
name of the victim who died, or
the person arrested.
“The parties that were involved knew each other from
what we can ascertain at this
point,” Early said.
Worcester State University
Police received reports of a
fight in a university parking lot
around 2:30 a.m., and when
campus officers arrived at the
scene, they found two people
had been shot, according to
Early.
One person died, while the
other shooting victim underwent surgery at a local hospital,
Early said.
The site of the shooting remained “a very active scene”
Saturday as campus police investigated, Early said.
That investigative work included areas near the university’s Sheehan Hall and Wasylean
Hall, according to his office.

Worcester police, university
police, and State Police detectives assigned to the Worcester
District Attorney’s office are
participating in the investigation, he said.
The lockdown at the campus
was lifted by 11 a.m., according
to Early, and a large police presence remained at the school
Saturday.
Lois Wims, the university’s
acting president, said counseling services are being made
available for the university’s
students, and families were
able to pick up their loved ones
from its wellness center.
All campus activities, including planned homecoming
festivities, were canceled in the
wake of the shooting, according
to Wims.
“On this tragic, tragic day,
our thoughts and prayers always go out to the families of
the victims, and our concern
for our students and our constituents is paramount,” Wims
said.
Early said there is video of
the shooting and investigators
are seeking any other recordings of the event.
They are asking for the public’s help and urged anyone
who has information about the
shooting to contact police.
“This is a safe campus, it’s a
great school,” Early said. “And
it’s unfortunate.”
In a statement, Worcester
Mayor Joseph M. Petty said the
shooting had “deeply saddened
and concerned us all.” The city
is committed to supporting the
university and the surrounding
neighborhood, he said.
“Safety remains our utmost
priority, and we will do everything in our power to provide a
safe environment for all our
residents,” Petty said.

“ The goal of this event is
that everyone can come out
and feel a sense of community,”
Lednum said. “We’re a family
and it’s important that you feel
that family bond.”
The candlelight vigil was
held less than a mile downriver
from the Maine Recycling Corporation where Card’s body was
discovered Friday night in a
truck trailer in an overflow
parking lot.
Family members leaned on
each other’s shoulders as they
cupped their hands over their
candles, protecting them from
the wind, the glow bathing
their faces.
Pastor Jonathan Jones of
Lisbon Falls Baptist Church
read the names of the victims.
The dead include a 14-yearold boy and his father out for a
night of bowling; four men who
joined others from Maine’s deaf
community to play cornhole; a
father from Florida visiting his
son for a belated 64th birthday
celebration; a couple in their
70s beloved in bowling circles.
Jones said his heart broke
for Lisbon and Lewiston, “the
two greatest cities in America.”
“This is just the beginning,”
Jones told the crowd. “We will
rise from the ashes through the
grace and mercy of God.”
The shootings Wednesday
night, the largest mass killing
in the United States this year
according to a database maintained by the Associated Press,
USA Today, and Northeastern
University, broke out at two
popular spots in Lewiston —
Just-In-Time Recreation, a
bowling alley that was hosting
its weekly youth bowling
league, and Schemengees Bar
and Grille, where a cornhole
tournament was underway.
Beth Bryant, 57, attended
the vigil with her husband to
honor his friend, Ron Morin,

who died at Schemengees,
where he was a regular in their
cornhole leagues and tournaments.
Bryant said she and her husband live less than 3 miles from
the rec ycling center where
Card’s body was found.
“We’re here for a bit of closure,” she said. “It’s nice to see
everybody together.”
Speaking in hushed tones,
friends who hadn’t seen each
other in days hugged and
caught up, children ran around
in the lengthening shadows,
and local scout troops weaved
through the crowd, lighting
candles.
The gathering was held at
Lisbon Falls’ Worumbo Riverfront Park, a former mill site
transformed into a community
recreation spot.
Jennifer Levesque, 44, and
Karen Huard, 48, both of Lisbon, said they knew four people
killed in the shootings.
“We’re relieved today, but
it’s still surreal,” Levesque said.
“Things like this don’t happen in Maine,” added Huard.
“It’s such a small knit commu-

nity.”
Still, the vigil gave them
hope.
“ T h i s i s w h a t Ma i n e i s ,”
Huard said, gesturing at the
growing crowd. “This is amazing.”
Mohamed Mohamed, 26 of
Lewiston, attended the vigil
with the nonprofit IRCM, the
Immigrant Resource Center of
Maine, which has been bringing Somali food to firs t responders. He said the support
everyone has shown each other
is typical of the community,
which he’s lived in since 2007.
“Being part of this community, this state, has taught me
who I am and the values I
have,” he said.
Mohamed said he used to go
to the bowling alley often.
“Now, despite how much it
might be washed, or the fact
that it’s safe, it will never feel
the same,” he said.
The shooting at the bowling
alley was reported to police by a
911 caller around 7 p.m., and
then gunshots were reported at
the bar about 4 miles away less
than 10 minutes later.

Seven people were killed at
Just-In-Time-Recreation, and
eight people died at Schemengees Bar and Grille, law enforcement officials have said.
Three others died after being
rushed to hospitals.
At the vigil, tears streamed
down Gar y “Griz” Totman’s
cheeks as he recounted the impact of the past few days on his
community. He said he is originally from Massachusetts but
moved to Maine decades ago.
Totman said one of his close
friends is the father of Maxx
Ha t h a w a y, a f a t h e r o f t w o
young girls whose wife is pregnant. He said another friend of
his was shot multiple times and
is fighting for his life in the hospital.
“ I t ’s a t e r r i b l e , t e r r i b l e
thing,” Totman said. “You don’t
feel safe going anywhere these
days.”
Katie Stockton, 30, of Quincy, drove up to Maine to be with
her family and attended the
vigil with her father, Anthony
Cioe, who said he used to play
softball with Joe Walker, one of
the victims.
“I lived here my whole life. I
just wanted to see my family,”
Stockton said.
Kathy Dostie attended with
friends and said the gathering
is the first step towards healing
after several terrifying days of
hearing whirling helicopters
and blaring sirens.
“All those people lost their
lives and what can we do for
them?” Dostie said. “I mean,
their families, it breaks my
heart.”

MASS SHOOTING IN MAINE

Suspect legally bought guns shortly before killings

dered into psychiatric treatment
without his consent, a key factor
in preventing the sales of firearms to people with mental illness who may pose a risk of
harm to themselves or others.
“A background check is not
going to ping that this individual
is prohibited,” said Maine Public
Safety Commissioner Michael
Sauschuck. “Just because there
appears to be a mental health
nexus to this scenario, the vast,
vast, vast majority of people, the
vast majority of people who have
a mental health diagnosis will
never hurt anybody. They won’t
hurt themselves. They’re not a
danger to the community.”
Card, an Army reservist, had
been taken by New York police
for a medical evaluation in midJuly, after military officials became concerned he was acting
erratically while training with
his unit at Camp Smith, officials
have said.
Law enforcement across
Maine were alerted last month
to threats made by Card, Sagadahoc County Sheriff Joel Merry,
whose jurisdiction includes
Card’s home in Bowdoin, told
the Globe on Saturday night.
The Army Reserve tipped his
department in September to the
threats, and the sheriff sent an
“attempt to locate” alert to every
law enforcement agency in the
state.
Officials told the Globe those
issues arose this summer while
Card was training with the Army
Reserves. Military commanders
phoned the police after he start-

ed acting erratically. But he remained in the reserves and returned to live in Bowdoin.
When Card launched his attacks Wednesday evening at
Just-In-Time Recreation and
Schemengees Bar and Grille,
Card was experiencing paranoia,
believed other people were talking about him, and may have
been hearing voices, law enforcement officials said. Investigators said he later died of a selfinflicted gunshot wound,
though they don’ t yet know
when he killed himself.
“When you’re talking about
paranoia, you’re talking about
individuals in crisis, there’s a lot
there. What was actually happening versus what they perceived to be happening. So those
things are definitely on our radar,” Sauschuck said.
Maine has a “yellow flag” law,
which is designed to keep firearms out of the hands of people
in mental health crises so severe
they are at risk to themselves or
others. But it only applies to people who have been involuntarily
taken into custody because a law
enforcement officer had probable cause to believe that they
may be mentally ill and pose a
”likelihood” of causing serious
harm to themselves or others.
Sauschuck didn’ t specify
whether officials in Maine could
have tried to apply the yellow
flag law to Card based on the
medical evaluation initiated by
authorities in New York over the
summer. On Saturday, the Globe
emailed a Maine Department of
Public Safety spokesperson
about whether it could have.

JOHN TLUMACKI/GLOBE STAFF

The road leading to Maine Recycling Corp., where the body of
Robert Card was found, remained shut by police on Saturday.

An ATF spokesperson said
the Globe inquiry was forwarded to him. He said he couldn’t
comment because the legislation
is specific to Maine and is not
among the federal laws enforced
by his agency.
Under the Maine law, a medical practitioner must find evidence the person taken into protective custody meets an even
higher standard by demonstrating the likelihood of “foreseeable
harm.” Such a finding would
permit law enforcement to seek
a court order that would restrict
the person’s access to firearms.
Sauschuck shared more details about a note Card left for a
loved one, whom Sauschuck declined to name. Card wrote the
passcode for his cellphone and
bank account details in the note,
he said.
“I wouldn’t describe it as a
explicit suicide note,” Sauschuck

said. “But tThe tone and tenor
was that the individual was not
going to be around and wanted
to make sure that this loved one
had access to his phone and
whatever was in his mind.”
Card’s family has been “incredibly cooperative,” and his
relatives were among the first
people to call law enforcement
and identify him as the person
in photographs of the shooter released Wednesday night by police, Sauschuck said.
In locating Card’s body Friday evening, police said they
had previously searched a portion of the recycling center, but
not the overflow parking lot
where the manhunt ended. Investigators believe Card likely
walked to the overflow lot sometime after he abandoned his vehicle about a mile away.
Investigators had searched
some of the property on Thurs-

day, and didn’t find anything, officials said. But in the early
morning hours Friday, the president of Maine Recycling Corp.
contacted the Lisbon police and
asked whether the search included an overflow parking lot
across the street, said the town’s
police chief, Ryan McGee.
There were 50 to 60 trailers
parked in the lot, some containing crushed plastic, McGee said.
Sauschuck didn’t identify the
president of the recycling company by name, but praised him
for following up with police.
“The owner was diligent, as
was Chief McGee, in passing
that information onto the command post,” Sauschuck said.
Card had worked for the
company for about a year as a
commercial driver, and left his
job voluntarily in the spring,
Maine Recycling Corp. said Saturday in a statement.
Officials also announced the
opening of sites offering help
and support to shooting victims,
their families, and the wider
public.
A family assistance center
has been opened at the Lewiston
Armory on Central Avenue for
families of those who killed or
injured, and people who were
present during the shootings,
but didn’t suffer physical harm.
It will be open from 10 a.m. to 7
p.m., for “an adequate period of
time to allow access for all victims,” according to the FBI,
which is helping to run the center.
Mental health assistance for
the public at large was offered
Saturday at the Ramada in

Lewiston. The counseling center
will also open Sunday from 9
a.m. to 1 p.m., according to the
city’s website.
Maine Governor Janet T.
Mills announced the state had
launched a “Healing Together”
website with information about
mental health resources and organizations accepting money to
support victims, families, and
first responders.
On the lawn outside Just-InTime Recreation on Saturday,
one family erected a memorial
display of nine blue crosses,
hand-carved pumpkins, and
three large signs to honor the
victims.
Bre Allard, a literacy coach at
Lewiston Middle School, installed the display with her children, Lucy and Zeke.
“The police officers and the
law enforcement were out doing
what they need to do,” Allard,
40, said. “So I said let’s make
some signs to show our support
for those that have passed and
lost their lives and for their
loved ones.”
One sign listed the names of
the victims.
Andrew DeCosta, a member
of the deaf community in Lewiston, lost four friends in the
shooting. He pointed to their
names on the sign, looked at the
building, and shook his head.

Trauma center responded to state’s worst mass shooting
uHOSPITAL

Continued from Page B1

Portland home to the hospital.
Meanwhile, chief executive
Steven G. Littleson and chief
nursing officer Kris Chaisson
had already fielded similar calls.
There was an active shooter, and
the local emergency dispatch
center had activated “code triage,” alerting everyone at the
medical center that a disaster
was unfolding.
They, too, got in their cars
and raced back to work.
As the hospital braced for
what would prove to be its worst
disaster ever, the staff knew
what they had to do, but knew
little of what they might face.
Ambulance crews were reporting possibly 15 to 20 victims
from two shooting sites. But the
gunman was at large, and there
was talk of as many as five or six
additional sites, possibly waves
of patients streaming in all
night.
Alerted by the code triage,
doctors, nurses, respiratory
therapists, support personnel,
about 20 to 30 people in all, assembled in the ER within minutes. As word spread throughout
the medical community, the
emergency room filled with 100
people ready to help. Blood supplies arrived from other hospitals. Five helicopt ers were
parked outside, ready to transport victims across the region.
The first gunshot patient arrived at 7:24 p.m. Thirteen more
would stream in over the next 45
minutes — many more severely
injured patients than the hospital had ever seen at once.
By the time Chaisson, the
nursing chief, got to the emergency department, four shooting victims were being assessed
in the trauma bays and the ER
was filled with “a sea of people.”
“It was an organized chaos,”
she said. “There were so many
people but they knew exactly
what they needed to get done. ...
It was like a work of magic.”
In emergency response, the
roles and responsibilities are
pre-established in a system
known as incident command.
Littleson, the CEO, headed to
the conference room designated
as the command center, where
his role would be to coordinate
everything that happened next.
As fate would have it, the
hospital was full Wednesday
night, its 170 beds occupied, and
the emergency room was already busy with the usual crush
of 25 to 30 sick patients, including some who were waiting for
beds. The staff would have to
somehow make room for an un-

Dr. Sheldon Stevenson (above), chief of emergency medicine at Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston, stopped to check
in with a patient Friday. Trisha Bell (below right), the hospital’s system director of emergency services, spoke with other staff
members. Bouquets of flowers were placed outside of the emergency department.

told number of casualties. Patients were moved into holding
areas and other available spaces.
“We knew that the patients
coming out of the operating
room would need critical care.
We had to mobilize some of our
less critical care patients to other
floors, to free up the ICU to take
care of these patients,” Chaisson
said.
Nine gunshot victims went
swiftly to operating rooms —
their awful wounds an urgent
and obvious diagnosis. Privacy
rules prevent a discussion of individual injuries, but Dr. John
Alexander, the chief medical officer, named the types of surgeons
who worked on them to give an
idea: four trauma surgeons, four
orthopedic surgeons, a vascular
surgeon, a cardiothoracic sur-

geon, and a urologist.
Stevenson, the emergency
chief, said the hospital treats
gunshot wounds at least every
month. But typically they are
from handguns and hunting rifles, involving a single bullet
wound.
The wounds he saw this time
were an order of magnitude
more severe, because the automatic weapon the shooter used
sprays people with multiple bullets and shrapnel that rips the
flesh.“ T he y ’re de vastating
wounds. Lots of soft tissue injuries, vascular injuries,” he said.
Me a nw h i l e , p e o p l e w h o
knew they had loved ones in the
hospital, or thought their loved
one might be there, had gathered outside, Littleson said.
Because patients had been

rushed to the hospital, and then
into surgery, some were still unidentified two hours later. “That
was a very difficult time for the
families and for us as well,” he
said, but eventually family members were brought inside and the
patients identified.
In all, 15 gunshot casualties
were taken to hospitals: 14 to
Central Maine, and one to St.
Mary’s Regional Medical Center,
also in Lewiston.
Central Maine discharged
two less severely injured patients after treatment on
Wednesday night. Another patient was transferred to Maine
Medical Center in Portland because the Lewiston hospital
didn’t have enough operating
rooms. Two died in the emergency department, and one died af-

ter surgery at Central Maine.
On Thursday, one surgical
patient was discharged to home
and another was transferred to
Massachusetts General Hospital
because of the nature of his injuries. The patients cared for at St.
Mary’s and Maine Medical Center were also discharged. Late
Friday two more patients were
discharged from Central Maine.
That means that, of the 12 injured survivors, five remained
hospitalized on Saturday — four
at Central Maine (three of them
in critical condition) and one in
stable condition at Mass. General.
Through it all, staff members
kept their cool. They had prepared for such an emergency
many times, in drills and exercises. Just a month earlier,

they’d done a tabletop simulation involving a mass casualty.
“People have assigned roles,”
said Alexander, who is an emergency physician. “They understood what their roles were.
They stepped into those roles
and they acted accordingly. They
are just incredibly heroic.“
Chaisson, the chief nursing
officer, added: “ The muscle
memory that they get with simulations and training helps them
deal emotionally with it a little
bit more. So they’re trying to focus on the patient and what they
have to do next.”
But this incident had an added dimension: The shooter was
still at large, and nurses worried
about their own safety as well.
Once it became clear there
were no more gunshot patients,
the challenge was convincing
day-shift nurses to go home, because they would be needed the
next day, Chaisson said. They
took comfort huddling with
their teams, and feared leaving
the hospital.
“ We h a d t o a l m o s t p u s h
them: ‘You’re still safe. ... Let’s
get a security escort to your car
and let’s try and get you home.
You’re safe at home.’”
The next day the hospital was
eerily quiet. With the shelter-inplace order in effect, the hospital
canceled surgeries and the emergency room saw just 35 patients
all day, compared with 120 on a
typical day. By Friday, as the hospital resumed normal operation,
clinicians and workers who had
been stunned and shocked started processing what had happened. Counselors were made
available throughout the hospital.
“Their training and their
skills take over during the event.
Emotions and feelings take over
afterward,” Littleson said. “The
grieving process will now unfold
over the next couple of weeks. In
some respects the hard part has
just begun.”
Littleson, who used to work
at a hospital in New Jersey not
far from Manhattan, recalls preparing to receive an influx of patients on 9/11. But none arrived
because there were so few survivors.
He thought of that when he
realized that in Wednesday’s
mass shooting, the 18 dead outnumbered the 12 injured survivors.
“The tragedy of this event,”
Littleson said, “is that there
weren’t more patients to care
for.”

Candidate blocked from N.H. presidential primary ballot
By Steven Porter
GLOBE STAFF

Not everyone who attempted to file for New Hampshire’s
2024 presidential primary succeeded.
Cenk K. Uygur, a progressive
political commentator best
known as the
founder of The
Young Turks,
submitted a
declaration of
candidacy for
the Democratic primary, but
New Hampshire Secretary of
State David M. Scanlan re turned the paperwork to Uygur,
along with his filing fee.
“I do not accept the document and reject it as a declaration of candidacy,” Scanlan
wrote in an Oct. 18 letter, notifying Uygur that his name
won’t appear on the ballot.
The basic problem is that
Uygur, who lives in California,
was a Turkish national before

he immigrated to the United
States as a child. Since Article
II of the Constitution stipulates
the president must be a natural-born US citizen, the general
consensus is that naturalized
citizens such as Uygur can never hold that office.
Uygur is well aware of the
prevailing interpretation. He
talked about it when he announced his candidacy this
month on his show. But he said
he’s confident he’ll manage to
challenge conventional wisdom
through litigation.
“We’re definitely going to
file a lawsuit and probably several lawsuits,” Uygur told the
Globe. “Whether it’s going to be
in New Hampshire is not determined yet.”
The next step in New Hampshire is for Uygur to go before
the Ballot Law Commission to
appeal Scanlan’s decision. That
could happen as early as next
week. If the commission af-

firms Scanlan’s decision, then
Uygur could sue. But he’s facing
a very similar situation in Nevada and said he expects to get
blocked elsewhere as well, so it
remains to be seen whether and
where his lawsuits may ultimately land.
Scanlan’s basis for rejecting

Uygur’s declaration was actually rather mundane. He didn’t
have to interpret Article II or
determine whether Uygur is
constitutionally ineligible for

For countless families, a

past year, he lost his job and now
we are working off of his unemployment and barely making
ends meet.
Our family is in need of help
this year. My son has been going
through treatments for leukemia
over the last 2 years so I have
been unable to work. My husband was forced into early retirement due to a heart condition
and the wait for disability benefits is long, 9 months so far.
Some families are luckier,
their predicaments eased by
generous or compassionate employers.
“Where you work determines
so much the support you get,”
Bryant said. “An employer might
say: ‘Take as much time as you
need, you can work remotely,
from the hospital.’”
But in our increasingly heartless gig economy, this is becoming less common. “Families who

don’t speak English or families
of color have even less protection in those hourly jobs,” Bryant
said. “I think employers think
they are easily replaceable so
they won’t work with them.
“For families of color, a lot of
them don’ t feel empowered
enough to have a conversation
about their rights,” he added.
“And if they have mixed documentation status, it’s terrifying
for them.”
And so a single health crisis
becomes multiple crises.
Although there are government benefits for families who
struggle, such as Massachusetts’
Paid Family and Medical Leave,
not everyone is eligible, the program is time-limited, and it
doesn’t replace a full income.
“Safety net benefits aren’t as
good as people think they are,”
Bryant said. “I’ve had parents
lose their jobs before they’re able
to access the PF ML , d ue to
missed work because of their
child’s illness.”
Meanwhile, the holidays
don’t wait, and they weigh heavily on parents of sick children.
“As I am filling out this form,
I am sitting in the ICU with my
baby boy,” a mother writes to
Globe Santa. “The doctors do
not know what caused him to
become so sick, out of nowhere.
My early Christmas wish is for
him to recover and enjoy his first
Christmas. I have no income
coming in. I would love for my
boys to at least have a couple of
gifts to open under the tree.”

didate’s declaration. Uygur had
crossed out “natural born” and
written “naturalized” before
signing his declaration of candidacy, so Scanlan concluded
the altered form didn’t comply
with state law.
“Their form is, in our opinion, constitutionally incorrect,”
Uygur said. “It asks if you’re a
natural-born citizen, which we
don’t believe is an actual qualification to be president.”
Uygur roots his argument in
the 14 th Amendment, which
grants citizenship to everyone
“born or naturalized” in the
United States and subject to its
jurisdiction. That amendment,
he argues, means it’s unconstitutional to bar naturalized citizens from the presidency.

BLOTTER TALES

Garbage truck
dumps pile of
flaming trash
Every day, police officers respond to reports of all sorts of events and nonevents,
most of which never make the news. Here is a
sampling of lesser-known — but no less noteworthy — incidents from police log books
(a.k.a. blotters) in our communities.
HOT WHEELS
On Oct. 16, officers working a traffic detail
on North Main Street in Grafton had to sound
the alarm for a fire — but not the kind you’d
expect, because this fire was on wheels, and it
was moving. It happened on a garbage truck
heading northbound on Route 140. As the
truck traveled through the work zone, the
driver realized the load of trash he was hauling had caught on fire. He pulled off the main
road and dumped the load of rubbish in a
perfect location — right in front of the fire
station on Mill Street, so firefighters didn’t
have to travel far to put out the flames. Engine 1 from headquarters also responded to
assist. While crews were dealing with the
flaming pile of refuse, another call came in
from a home on South Street, where an odor
of gas had been reported. Upon investigation,
it was determined that a burner on the stove
had been left on, ever so slightly. “The burner
was shut off and the home ventilated,” the fire
department wrote on Facebook. “Station 3
Engine 3 assisted with that call. Welcome to
Monday!!”
GHOST HUNTER TAKEN INTO CUSTODY
At 4:09 a.m. Aug. 5, Bridgewater police
went to check out a report of “ghost hunting”
that was happening near the state Department of Correction complex, which is home
to the Old Colony Correctional Center and
Bridgewater State Hospital. Police spoke to
“multiple people” who were apparently on
the lookout for paranormal activity, including
one individual who was the subject of an active warrant. That aspiring ghost hunter was
placed under arrest.
FREE RANGE POULTRY
On Oct. 7, police got a call from someone
who reported seeing a turkey and a few chickens running in the road on Lumber Street in
Hopkinton. According to the log entry, police
checked the area but were unable to locate
the wayward poultry.
TURKEY ATTACK
At 8:23 a.m. Oct. 7, a woman who was out
for a walk on Burlington Avenue in Wilmington told police she was being attacked by turkeys. Wilmington police and Massachusetts
Environmental Police responded and assisted
the woman. Police also reported that the turkeys appeared to be fine and had returned to
the woods.
NOT PACKING
At 2:09 p.m. Aug. 26, Bridgewater police
received a 911 call from a man who reported
that someone had broken into his vehicle and
stolen his firearm. Police said that upon investigation, the firearm was located, and the
owner apparently had been confused about
where he had placed it while he was moving.
SWAN REUNION
What do you think of when you see a
swan? Thoughts of love, romance, and commitment may come to mind, especially if you
see two of these graceful birds paired up, gliding across the water together. But how about
one chasing children on a playground? Not a
scene we’d like to see, but that’s what could
have happened in Medway recently. Swans
are territorial creatures, and can be very defensive of their nesting areas. They’re also
pretty big, too, as males typically weigh 20 to
25 pounds, and can have wing spans of 7 to 8
feet wide. So when a swan wandered into the
playground at Choate Park on Oct. 2, local animal control officers swung into action. The
poor bird was stressed out and hissing at people and couldn’t seem to find its way out.
Meanwhile, the area was getting crowded
with youngsters who just wanted to play. Norfolk animal control officer Hilary Cohen lent
a hand to Medway animal control officer Erin
Mallette to bring the swan back where he belonged. They used a sheet to capture the bird
and carry him back to its mate. “This guy was
chasing children at the playground at Choate
Park this morning,” Cohen wrote on Facebook. “He just needed to be dressed as a ghost
to be festive and then returned to the water
on the other side of the fence.”

Tricks to make Halloween a treat
Experts offer ways to keep children safe as they go house to house to collect candy
By Brion O’Connor
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

Dominick Pangallo has run the
trick-or-treat gamut. As a child
growing up just a short stroll from
the Salem Witch Museum and the
Witch Dungeon Museum, he loved
heading out with his brother and
their pals on Halloween, while his
parents, Karen and Salvatore Pangallo, adorned their family home.
“I enjoyed trick-or-treating and
dressing up,” he said. “But I quickly
gave up the trick-or-treating because
my parents, my father especially,
would really go all out on the decorations for the treaters at our house.
We had fog machines, sound effects,
strobe lights. My brother and I
would wear costumes and jump out
and scare kids. And as much as I
loved the candy, that was actually a
lot more fun.”
Today, at 42, Pangallo is the father of two girls — Aurelia,13, and
Lucy, 9 — and he and his wife, Kristen, still take them out trick-or-treating. Pangallo also happens to be the
mayor of the Witch City and knows
that in his community, Halloween is
a big deal, and big business.
He said the city gets divided into
two distinct districts on Halloween:
the downtown business area —
which attracted nearly 1 million people in October 2022 — and its outlying neighborhoods.
“We almost set up two separate
police departments. So there’s one
downtown that operates as its own
kind of public safety operations,”
said Pangallo. “Then the rest of the
city and the neighborhoods, you still
need police coverage. The regular
public safety gets separated out, as
it’s almost an entirely different operation.”
But, in reality, every community
in Massachusetts that embraces Halloween — from urban enclaves to
leafy suburbs — can learn from the
city that is synonymous with the holiday. A few miles north of Salem,
steps from the Buker Elementary
School in Wenham, grandparents
Anne and Curt Alboth have been creating a haunted spectacle on Perkins
Street for almost 40 years. Given the
proximity of the school and Route
1A, the decorations entice neighborhood trick-or-treaters like a bright
light attracts bugs.
“You can hear the kids yelling out
the school bus windows, ‘We’ve got
to come back here for trick-or-treating,’” said Anne Alboth, who is 65
and has two grandchildren living in
Wenham. “And they do. We’re going
to have anywhere between 100 and
200 kids.”
Like many older New England
communities, Salem has a number
of major routes running through it,
but also plenty of narrow Colonialera roads with on-street parking that
require motorists and trick-or-treaters alike to exercise caution.
“We put out extra messaging and
police coverage in the residential areas that tend to get cut-through traffic just to make sure people know
that there’s a lot of kids out crossing
streets and walking through neighborhoods,” Pangallo said. “It’s just a
reminder to be extra vigilant and
careful as they’re trying to get to or
through Salem.”
Salem Police Chief Lucas J. Miller
took the department’s top spot in
2021 as the region was emerging
from COVID-19 restrictions. He said
there’s been a noticeable post-pandemic spike in the city’s popularity
during October.
“I think the pent-up desire for
people to interact and have fun has
driven a greater interest in Halloween and Salem,” he said.
Combining recommendations
from Miller, retired Northborough
police chief Mark K. Leahy, now executive director of the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association,
and Hyannis Fire Chief Peter Burke,
president of the Fire Chiefs Association of Massachusetts, and suggestions from the state’s Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation produced the following
blueprint for staying safe this Halloween:
Don’t trick-or-treat alone. Trickor-treating is best done in groups, no
matter how safe the neighborhood.
Parents should always accompany younger goblins and ghouls, and
walk them to the door to receive
treats. Never enter homes or apartments without adult supervision.
Teach children to say “No!” in a loud
voice if someone tries to entice them
to go somewhere with them, or accept anything other than a treat.
“One more thing,” said Miller.
“Please, when you look out for your
kids, look out for your neighbors’ as
well.”
Proper planning. Parents should
design trick-or-treating routes in familiar neighborhoods with well-

lighted streets. Travel the route at
night with your child beforehand,
even if you’re familiar with the area,
noting street lights and crosswalk locations.
Trick-or-treaters should walk —
not run — on sidewalks whenever
possible, or on the far edge of the
road facing traffic to stay safe.

“The typical safety recommendations still hold in terms of watching
traffic, and making sure they’re looking both ways to cross the street,”
said Burke.
In older, congested neighborhoods, motorists should be extra vigilant about watching for youngsters
darting between parked cars.

Use this app to mark your route

While Halloween dates back
some 2,000 years, modern technology can ensure a more relaxed
night of trick-or-treating.
Given the emphasis on safety
and proper planning, residents may
consider downloading the Nextdoor app to access the Treat Map,
an easy-to-use interactive local
guide where people can share holiday plans and find the best hocuspocus spots.
Reubon Platon, product manager for the San Francisco-based online platform, said Nextdoor is a
neighborhood app designed to connect people to other residents, businesses, and public agencies, and is
used by one in three households in
the United States. According to the
Nextdoor Boston site, nextdoor.com/city/boston--ma, more
than 603,000 residents have downloaded the app in 132 neighborhoods, from Arlington to Worcester.
Through the end of October,
Nextdoor neighbors can pin their
location to the Treat Map, sharing
photos and recommendations.
“For parents, the Nextdoor Treat
Map helps them make a plan for

Halloween,” said Platon. “From the
map, parents can plan their trickor-treating route, finding streets
and areas that offer the best experience for their child. Parents can also share a link of their favorite Treat
Map areas via email, text, or social
media to enjoy Halloween festivities with other families.
“For kids and teenagers, the
Treat Map helps them seek out the
spookiest, most over-the-top decor,
as well as houses that offer the biggest, best Halloween handouts.”

Phones as safety devices. Older
children who are trick-or-treating
unsupervised should have a fully
charged cellphone with a sharing
app, like “Family Sharing,” said Leahy. Miller agreed.
“Cellphone tracking has found
more lost kids than even the greatest
detectives,” he said. “I also like Apple
Air Tags and the equivalents.”
Burke concurred. “Having a good
communication plan is important,”
he said. “Whether it’s doing checkins, or if you’re using a phone with
an app that gives you contact with
them, having a communication
method and having a plan is as important as anything.”
Follow the light. Homeowners
participating in trick-or-treat festivities should have their indoor and
outdoor lights on to indicate that visitors are welcome. If a home isn’t
well lighted, skip it.
See and be seen. Choose bright
costumes, and add reflective tape to
darker costumes and candy bags.
Make sure flashlights have fresh batteries.
“I like some of the old standards
like glow sticks, necklaces, and
bracelets,” said Miller. “And super
powerful flashlights are now available for $10 or $20.”
Fire safety. Speaking of costumes, opt for outfits that are resistant to fire. Look for “flame-resistant” or “flame-retardant” labels on
the fabric, even if the costume is
homemade. In the same vein, said
Burke, trick-or-treaters need to be
careful about exposure to fire stoves
and fire pits, as well as pyrotechnics.
“Make sure you avoid open
flames, and avoid using fireworks
and sparklers,” he said.
Know what you’ve got. Inspect
each piece of candy — even if individually wrapped — to ensure the
item is new and unopened. Eat only
factory-wrapped treats, and avoid
homemade snacks with unknown ingredients made by strangers. When
in doubt, throw it out.
“There are a lot of cannabis products and even some stronger drugs
that now come packaged like candy,”
said Miller. “That’s all the more reason to audit your child’s Halloween
haul.”
Pet precautions. Know what
treats may be unsafe for your pets.
Many Halloween treats are toxic to
dogs. Ingredients such as chocolate,
raisins, and sugar-free or low-sugar
candies containing xylitol can be toxic.

US official: Human trafficking on rise in New England
By Alexa Gagosz
GLOBE STAFF

In 2022, investigators with the US
Department of Homeland Security received a tip from an airline pilot who
suspected a teenage
girl traveling on his
flight might be a human trafficking victim. One of the men
who communicated
with the young girl
was indeed a sex trafficker, authorities
found, and was part of a large criminal
enterprise. Since the initial tip, the Justice Department has launched a criminal case against the trafficker, and the
girl has been connected to support services.
The pilot’s observations were the result of training he received under the
Blue Lightning Initiative, which is
based within DHS and the Department
of Transportation, led by Michael Camal.
Camal, who graduated from the
University of Rhode Island in 2018, is
in charge of the initiative that raises
awareness about the realities of human
trafficking in the aviation industry, and
teaches airport personnel to report potential traffickers to law enforcement.
In June, Camal was selected as a finalist
for the 2023 Samuel J. Heyman Service
to America Medals — also known as the
“Sammies,” which are considered the
“Oscars” of government service — for
his efforts leading the national campaign.
The following interview with Camal
has been edited for length and clarity.
Q. Human trafficking was only just
defined by the law in 2000. How have
cases around human trafficking increased in New England?
A. The overall number of cases has
increased tremendously because of
awareness, there’s no doubt about that.
In New England, human trafficking is
definitely a problem. When I give presentations, I often hear that human
trafficking “is not a problem in my area.” Or that “crime is low in my rural
town.” Most won’t look at Rhode Island
and think of human trafficking. Yet
since its inception in 2007, the National
Human Trafficking Hotline has identified 149 cases of human trafficking that

US Homeland Security official Michael Camal led a human trafficking awareness roundtable earlier this year.
impacted 337 victims [this does not include data for 2022 or 2023] in Rhode
Island alone. In Massachusetts, the
hotline has identified 905 cases of human trafficking, which included 1,703
victims, from 2007 to 2021. I believe
those numbers just scratch the surface.
Human trafficking is often called
the “hidden crime,” which means these
statistics are only what we do know.
But there’s a lot we don’t know. When
speaking to survivors, we hear about all
of these new indicators the public
missed while exploitation was going
on.
Q. How has the Blue Lightning Initiative expanded since you came on?
A. The Blue Lightning Initiative is
part of DHS’s overall Blue Campaign,
which is our national public awareness
campaign to combat human trafficking. The initiative started in 2012, and
until 2017, they had 17 partners that
were mostly airline companies. I came
on in 2018, and we have expanded to
135 partners, where we are training

staff and are working to raise awareness in the airports.
Q. Why look at combating trafficking specifically in the aviation industry?
A. A lot of Americans are surprised
to hear that human trafficking happens
in the United States. They think it’s just
a foreign problem. But when I looked at
domestic data from the National Human Trafficking Hotline, about 50 percent of the victims are US citizens and
50 percent of them are foreign nationals. We found that a lot of these victims
are actively traveling through airports
— in both commercial and private airports — while the exploitation is going
on.
Sometimes they’re traveling by
themselves, with other victims, or with
their trafficker. The indicators are often
very subtle, and it can be a bit hard to
identify. But we train airport and airline staff on those indicators, which has
resulted in positive victim identification and cases against traffickers.

Lawsuit:
Meta out
to addict
children

GLOBE STAFF

C O N C O R D, N. H . — Ne w
Hampshire is among the states
suing Meta, the parent company
o f Fa c e b o o k
and Instagram,
over addictive
features allegedly designed
to hook children to the detriment of their mental health.
States like Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, and Connecticut
participated in a 33-state suit
filed in the Northern District of
California, while New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella filed a separate lawsuit in
Merrimack Superior Court Tuesday against Meta for allegedly violating state consumer protection laws. Eight states and
Washington, D.C., filed related
actions in state and federal
courts.
“[Meta] has broken and continu e s t o b r e a k t h e m e n ta l
health of our kids, and it’s time
we put a stop to it,” Formella
said at a press conference in
Concord on Tuesday. He said
New Hampshire has been particularly hard hit.
Formella said filing in state
court will allow for more local
control over the case, and he believes New Hampshire law is favorable. The goal of the lawsuit
is to get Meta to stop what it alleges are harmful practices and
make the platforms safe for children, which could include raising the minimum age from 13 to
16, Formella said.
“The state’s complaint alleges
that Meta purposely designed its
popular platforms Facebook and
Instagram to include addictive
features with the goal of enticing
and prolonging time children
spend scrolling on the platforms,” he said.

Platforms said to
use rewards like
slot machines
By Amanda Gokee

Q. What are some of the warning
signs of human trafficking?
A. There’s a ton, but at a high level,
here are a few:
• Document control. If someone is
not in control of their own passport or
other identity documents, but they look
old enough to control it themselves.
• Someone’s freedom to communicate. Oftentimes, traffickers will closely
monitor the victim’s speech when they
are speaking to authorities. We’ve had
cases where a victim would be asked a
basic question — such as, ”Where are
you from?” — and then the victim
would have to call someone else to answer for them.
• An illogical travel plan, or victims
not knowing who they are meeting, is a
big red flag. For example, we’ve had
cases where the victim met someone
online, potentially for a modeling gig at
first, and they are told to meet at a destination, but the victim has no idea who
they are actually meeting.
• A “non-genuine relationship.”

This is when someone pretends to be a
parent or a romantic partner to an individual, but in reality, there’s no connection at all and they are just doing that
to get them through airport security so
they can exploit them.
Q. Some of these examples also
could be mistaken for something else.
A. It’s not very frequent where a tip
comes in and it turns out to be human
trafficking. But we don’t want to miss
that one victim. I’d rather have a thousand tips than have none than miss
that one case.
Q. Who exactly is reporting most of
these “warning signs” or potential incidents of victims at airports now?
A. It’s a good mix. They’re members
of the public, flight attendants, pilots,
airport workers, and janitors. Many
times, tips will initially be referred to
an airline’s corporate security desk.
Those tips will then decide if there’s
enough information to be referred to
Homeland Security.
Q. Other than Boston Logan International Airport and Rhode Island Airport Corporation, what other New England-based aviation groups have this
initiative partnered with?
A. We’re working with ManchesterBoston Regional Airport, Martha’s
Vineyard Airport, Cape Air, Waltzing
Matilda Aviation, Portsmouth International Airport, and Elevate Jet.
Q. What should every American
know about human trafficking?
A. It happens in both legitimate and
illegitimate industries — in restaurants,
hospitality, construction, agriculture,
domestic work, and even at your neighborhood pizza restaurant. It can be
prevalent on college campuses, and
we’ve worked with survivors who were
actively exploited while attending fouryear degree colleges for both sex and labor trafficking. There are tools out
there for college campuses — to raise
awareness and combat trafficking.
Whether all the campuses know about
those tools ... I don’t believe that’s the
case yet. That’s something we’re also
trying to focus on more.

Meta, parent company of Facebook and Instagram, is being
sued jointly by 33 states and separately by New Hampshire.
that when children try to get off
the platform, it bombards them
with alerts “intentionally designed to lure them back, all to
trap them into continuing use of
the platform,” according to Formella.
He said these designs exploit
children’s vulnerabilities, and although Meta is aware of the
harm to children, it has continued to target them by trying to
extend the amount of time they
spend online without alerting
parents or users about the
harm. Instead, the lawsuit alleges, Meta has deceptively
made public statements about
the safety of its platforms. Legal
action in New Hampshire
stemmed from a coordinated
multistate investigation into Meta’s practices.
The addictive features these
lawsuits aim to stop include infinite scrolling, autoplay features,
and near-constant notifications
and alerts, which are a form of
intermittent variable rewards
that also are used to make slot
machines addictive.
“We share the attorneys general’s commitment to providing
teens with safe, positive experiences online, and have already
introduced over 30 tools to support teens and their families,”
Meta said in a statement. “We’re
disappointed that instead of
working productively with companies across the industry to create clear, age-appropriate standards for the many apps teens
use, the attorneys general have
chosen this path.”
Formella said children’s mental health has deteriorated in the
past decade, as the use of social
media has dramatically increased.

In New Hampshire, around
44 percent of high school students report feeling persistently
sad or hopeless, a 75 percent increase compared to the past decade, according to data from the
state’s Youth Risk Behavior Survey. About 25 percent report
considering suicide, while 10
percent have attempted it ,
which Formella said represents
“astronomical increases” of 72
percent and 60 percent, respectively, over the past decade.
The attorney general started
investigating Meta in 2021, reviewing thousands of documents, taking depositions, and
seeking feedback from parents,
teachers, and coaches about the
impact of social media on children, according to Formella.
He said he has the authority
to bring a liability claim on behalf of the people of New Hampshire because of recent changes
to state law, in addition to a negligence claim.
“We will not tolerate the pursuit of profit at the expense of
the mental health and the wellbeing of New Hampshire’s kids
and America’s kids,” he said.
Governor Chris Sununu in
June issued an executive order
directing state agencies to develop curriculum addressing the
harm of social media.
“This lawsuit against Meta
marks a significant development
in New Hampshire’s ongoing efforts and investigation of social
media companies and the harms
they perpetrate against the children of our State,” he said in a
statement Tuesday.

hen I teach
ecology labs at
Merrimack
College, one of
my favorite
places to take students is the
Pine Hole Bog in Andover’s
Charles W. Ward Reservation.
While walking along the quarter-mile boardwalk that traverses this fascinating wetland, I
point out the many interesting
plants that grow in the bog —
wild cranberries, horsetails, poison sumac, sphagnum moss,
swamp loosestrife, and others.
But perhaps the most interesting are the carnivorous plants
— sundews and pitcher plants —
that are found here and in other
bogs across Massachusetts.
While walking through the
bog recently, I crouched down
on the edge of the boardwalk
and closely scanned the vegetation along the ground. There,
hidden among the sphagnum
moss and red maple seedlings, I
spotted a cluster of 2-inch-tall
plants, with single small green
disc-shaped leaves on top of
their stalks. Each leaf was covered with tiny hair-like projections, with sticky drops that
looked like dew at the tip of each
hair. These were round-leaved
sundew plants, one of three species of sundews found in Massachusetts.
The others are the spatulateleaved sundew and the threadleaved sundew, said Professor
Aaron Ellison, retired Harvard
University senior research fellow
in ecology and associate of the
Harvard Forest in Petersham.
Ellison, who co-edited a book on
carnivorous plants, said small
insects — such as gnats and
mosquitoes — that land on the
sticky hairs often get trapped.
The hairs fold around the insect,
which is subsequently digested
by enzymes. Nutrients from the
digested insects are absorbed by
the leaf pad.
There are also 12 species of
bladderworts — a type of aquatic carnivorous plant — found in
Massachusetts, said Ellison.
I continued walking slowly
along the boardwalk, stopping
periodically to peer into the
thick vegetation, searching for
purple pitcher plants, which I
hadn’t seen in several years. I

Hole Bog in Andover.
walked to the Pine Hole Pond at
the end of the boardwalk, then
started walking back. I continued looking into the brush,
scanning the ground carefully as
I walked. Suddenly, there they
were — pitcher plants.
The leaves of pitcher plants
are 4 to 10 inches long, and
shaped like narrow pitchers,
partially filled with water, hence
their name. If insects or other
small invertebrates enter the
pitcher plant, they sometimes
can’t escape because downwardpointing bristles at the opening
of the “pitcher” block their exit.
“But it’s not a very efficient
barrier,” said Ellison. “Pitcher
plants trap mostly ants, which
are attracted to sugar secreted
by the plant. Ninety percent of
the ants that crawl into a pitcher
plant crawl out.”
The water in the pitcher
plant contains a food web of
bacteria, protozoa, and aquatic
insect larvae, which help break
down and digest insects that fall
into the plant’s watery trap —
kind of like the bacteria in our
intestines that help break down
and absorb the food we eat, Ellison explained. The nutrients
from the digested insects are
then absorbed by the pitchershaped leaf.
Amazingly, some insects can
live in pitcher plants. One of
these is the pitcher plant mos-

quito, the larvae of which hatch,
live, and metamorphose in the
water inside the pitcher plant
without being digested.
Despite their name, not all
purple pitcher plants are purple,
said Ellison. Some are a mix of
red and green, while some —
like the ones I found — are just
green. The more sun they’re exposed to, the more purple they
are, Ellison said, because they
produce anthocyanin, the same
pigment that’s in red fall leaves.
The anthocyanin works like a
sunscreen for the plant to prevent sun damage.
Sundews and pitcher plants
are only found in bogs, a nutrient-poor environment with low
amounts of nitrogen and phosphorous, Ellison said. Carnivorous plants supplement the
small amount of nutrients they
absorb through their roots with
the insects and other invertebrates they capture.
The flowers of pitcher plants
are pollinated by bees, such as
bumblebees, said Ellison, while
sundew flowers are pollinated
by little solitary bees, like metallic green sweat bees.
Sundews and pitcher plants
face few natural threats, said Ellison, although the caterpillars
of some moth species feed on
pitcher plants. The greatest
threat to carnivorous plants is
habitat destruction and collection by people.
“If you want carnivorous
plants, buy them from a reputable dealer,” said Ellison. “Don’t
collect them from the wild.”
They won’t really help with mosquito control in your yard, he
added.
“People always like to try to
feed them pieces of hotdogs or
hamburger meat,” said Ellison.
“Just put them out in the sunlight during the warm weather,
and let them catch insects. Then
let them go dormant for the
winter by putting them in the
refrigerator or a cold garage for
six months. Bring them back out
in spring and water them. If you
don’t feed or fertilize them, they
can live a long time — pitchers
70 to 80 years, and sundews 10
to 20 years.”

Gillette to move
razor-making
out of South
Boston

Procter & Gamble will move its Gillette manufacturing operations out of South Boston, ending more than a century of blademaking in the neighborhood, as the company opens up more of
its 31-acre campus overlooking the Fort Point Channel for redevelopment. Much of that manufacturing work will move to an
underused, 150-acre P&G campus in Andover, as part of a $1
billion plan to modernize the company’s facilities in both locations over the coming decade. All of the manufacturing workers
in South Boston, roughly 450 today, will be offered jobs in Andover. About 750 corporate, engineering, and research and development employees will remain in South Boston. The company has not yet decided whether it will keep its South Boston operations on part of the current campus, or if it will sell the
entire site and move into leased office and lab space nearby.
The move has been in the works, to some extent, since 2019,
when the company launched an internal assessment of its Massachusetts properties to analyze how best to plan them for the
future. CEO Gary Coombe had originally hoped to finish the
study in 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic delayed it. — JON

Forsyth
Institute joins
ADA to create
‘biggest
monster in
dentistry’

The American Dental Association is merging with the Forsyth
Institute, a quiet, yet influential Cambridge nonprofit credited
with some crucial breakthroughs in oral health. The ADA, the
dominant trade organization for the dental industry, will combine its existing research arm with the Forsyth to create the
ADA Forsyth Institute. The program will remain in Cambridge
and be led by Wenyuan Shi, president and CEO of Forsyth.
“We’re creating the biggest monster in dentistry,” Shi said in an
interview. “That really means we’re introducing a lot of innovation into the dental practice.” Shi said the merger will allow the
fruits of its research to reach patients more easily and could also open up new fund-raising and partnership opportunities to
help fund dental research. Well known in the dental industry
but less visible to the general public, the Forsyth Institute is
credited with key developments over more than a century. Notably, starting in 1901, Forsyth scientists began the research
that would lead to the widespread use of fluoride to prevent
cavities. In 1985, Forsyth created the first antibiotic treatment
for gum disease. The Forsyth began as the world’s first pediatric
dental hospital, treating children’s cavities — including 2-yearold John F. Kennedy. Even today, Forsyth provides oral health
care to thousands of children through its ForsythKids program,
which sets up temporary dental clinics at schools, day cares,
homeless shelters, and neighborhoods across the state. The
ADA has also developed a research program over the years.
Among its innovations are the creation of the first complete
map of every cell in the mouth and the development of the ADA
Seal of Acceptance program — which has been earned by over
400 dental products. In a statement, Governor Maura Healey
said the merger “will build on more than a century of excellent
work right here in Massachusetts.” “The Forsyth Institute has
been, and will continue to be an integral part of the Massachusetts bio-innovation and research community,” Healey said. —

Biogen reveals
clinical data
for a new
Alzheimer’s
drug

State regulators on Wednesday said that the MGM Springfield
casino has agreed to pay $6.8 million in penalties and restitution to settle allegations that the Western Massachusetts gambling emporium committed wage and hour violations against
some 2,000 employees. The settlement, announced by the office
of Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell, resolves a bevy of
claims. Campbell said a multiyear investigation concluded that
the casino did not pay tipped employees a minimum wage, that
managers illegally retained employee tips, and that MGM
didn’t pay required
overtime wages.
The casino also allegedly failed to pay
wages in a timely
manner and did not
supply employees
with their paid
earned sick time,
according to the office. The attorney
general’s office said
the alleged violations affected 2,036
workers — ranging
from bartenders to cleaners to game dealers — most of whom
received hourly wages. The casino now has a workforce of nearly 1,500, according to an MGM report to the Massachusetts
Gaming Commission this year. The investigation was spurred
by employee complaints beginning in October 2018, according
to the AG’s office. In a written statement, Dara Cohen, the director of regional corporate communications at MGM Resorts
International, said the casino has “made proactive updates
since 2019 to address this issue.” “We will continue to invest in
training and regular reviews of our policies and procedures to
ensure ongoing compliance,” said Cohen. In addition to the
$6.8 million payout, the casino will be required to administer a
“compliance program, to be carried out by an independent
compliance reviewer retained by MGM” and approved by the
attorney general’s office. This will entail regular trainings and
twice-yearly “wage and hour audits to be conducted by a third
party,” according to the office. — DANA GERBER

Cambridge drug maker Biogen, which won US approval in July
for the first Alzheimer’s therapy shown to modestly slow cognitive decline, is advancing a new line of attack on the memoryrobbing disease. Even as it ramps up sales of its approved drug,
Leqembi, which clears the buildup of a toxic protein in the
brain, Biogen released early clinical data Wednesday for a different drug, called BIIB080, which targets another type of protein, called tau, that is also suspected of contributing to Alzheimer’s disease. The data, presented at a scientific meeting in
Boston, come as Biogen vies with pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly
for leadership in the emerging multibillion-dollar market for
Alzheimer’s therapies. The progressive degenerative disease afflicts more than 6.7 million Americans. In its early-stage study,
Biogen’s experimental drug was injected into the spinal canals
of 46 patients in Canada, the United Kingdom, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden. The trial was meant to test
for safety, but also showed encouraging clinical outcomes, such
as reduced tau in the cerebral spinal fluid of 22 patients who
completed a long-term study extension at the highest doses, the
company said. “It was slowing cognitive decline and improving
clinical outcomes,” Priya Singhal, head of development at Biogen, said in an interview. Most patients who completed the
study reported moderate side effects, however, such as headaches and pain, she said. Biogen chief executive Chris Viehbacher said the early findings were promising enough for the
company to continue investing in a larger, mid-stage study involving 700 patients at 140 sites globally. That study will test
two different dosing regimens for the experimental drug. The
company acquired the drug candidate from Ionis Pharmaceuticals in 2019. Unlike Leqembi, which uses a bioengineered antibody that works outside the cell to attack the buildup of proteins called beta-amyloid plaques, BIIB080 works inside cells,
targeting tau with short, single strands of synthetic RNA known
as antisense oligonucleotides. — ROBERT WEISMAN AND

Epstein’s fingerprints all over Breslow hire
Dan Shaughnessy
Picked-up pieces while wondering how Craig Breslow
feels about his former Yale
teammate Ron DeSantis . . .
R Perhaps the best news
about Breslow is that Theo
Epstein’s fingerprints are all
over this important Red Sox
hire.
Theo is the one who first brought Breslow

to the Red Sox in 2006. Breslow pitched
in 88 games at Pawtucket over two seasons and got into 13 with the Sox before
Epstein let him go on waivers during
spring training 2008. Breslow returned
in 2012 and was part of the 2013 World
Series winners.
While Breslow continued his 12-year
big league career, Theo moved on to
Chicago, enhancing his Hall of Fame résumé by winning another curse-busting
World Series with the Cubs in 2016. All
the while, Theo never forgot about his

THEO EPSTEIN
Has the ear of Kennedy

fellow Yale prodigy.
After Breslow’s final season, a year
in the minors in 2018, Epstein’s Cubs
were among the many teams to pursue
him for a front office position. The Cubs
were having problems developing
pitching. Impressed with Breslow’s brilliance, integrity, and relentlessness, Epstein identified him as a person who
could fix things.
Breslow was living in Newton, looking for a challenge in baseball, and had
spoken with then-Sox baseball boss

Dave Dombrowski. It turned out that Breslow
wanted too much and was perhaps too analytical for the old-school Dombrowski, who
won a World Series with the Sox in ’18 but
was fired by John Henry the following year.
Epstein feared the Cubs were falling behind other organizations in the ever-evolving
area of pitching development. Theo went after Breslow, but it was not an easy hire.
Breslow had more questions for the Cubs
than the Cubs had for him.
They turned out to be a better fit than the

Guessing game
with Patriots at
trade deadline
By Nicole Yang
GLOBE STAFF

FOXBOROUGH — The next week could prove
pivotal for the Patriots, with a key divisional
matchup against the Miami Dolphins and the
trade deadline ahead.
After standing pat in 2021 and 2022, the Patriots have until Tuesday at 4 p.m. to decide if they
want to swing any deals. All options seem to be on
the table, as coach Bill Belichick and director of
player personnel Matt Groh could elect to bolster
their roster, acquire draft capital, sell off pieces
they don’t feel are part of the future, or all of the
above.
Asked Friday morning how he weighs the roster’s needs in the middle of the season, Belichick
wouldn’t shed light on the staff’s approach.
“We’re just focused on Miami right now,” he
said.
Asked if he’s checking in with Groh on a regular
basis, Belichick once again didn’t show much interest in discussing the process.

Truex grabs pole,
in need of big race
By Jenna Fryer
ASSOCIATED PRESS

For the third time in this
year’s playoffs, Martin Truex
Jr., NASCAR regular-season
champion, is facing elimination and wondering how his
title chances have exploded
spectacularly.
Truex heads into Sunday’s
race at Martinsville Speedway
tied with Joe Gibbs Racing
teammate Denny Hamlin at
17 points below the cutoff
line. There are six drivers vying for two spots in next
week’s championship-deciding finale and Truex needs a
rapid turnaround to have any
shot at a second title.
He got a boost Saturday
with a pole-winning run in
qualifying. Truex’s lap at
94.153 miles per hour was
good enough for his third pole
of the season.
Truex has just one top-10
finish through the first seven
ra c e s o f t h e p l ay o ff s — i t
forced him to stave off elimination at the end of the
rounds of 16 and 12 — and although he started from the
pole last week at HomesteadMiami Speedway an engine
failure put him in the same
spot Sunday at the Virginia
short track.
“It’s been really tough, and
nothing has really gone right,”
Tr u e x s a i d S a t u r d a y. “ I
thought we were sitting in a
really good position last week.

Things were going pretty well,
and then we pit and the bottom falls out. We will reset.
We are ready to go again.”
Christopher Bell, his teammate at Joe Gibbs Racing, and
2021 champion Kyle Larson
of Hendrick Motorsports
claimed the first two spots in
the final four. William Byron
of Hendrick has a solid shot at
adding another Chevrolet to
the championship field based
on his sizable points margin,
which means barring a Byron
disaster, there’s really only one
spot up for grab.
. . .
Justin Allgaier beat Sheldon Creed in a door-to-door
demolition derby that decided
the Xfinity Series championship field. Destroyed race cars
were parked along the Martinsville Speedway finish line
as NASCAR sorted through
the carnage and ex-teamm at e s e xc h a n ge d h e at e d
words.
The messy race went into a
two-lap overtime shootout after a nearly 30-minute stoppage for the 15th caution. The
final restart pitted RCR teammates Austin Hill and Creed
side-by-side on the front row
with both needing a win to
make next week's championship finale.
John Hunter Nemechek, a
seven-race winner this season,
made the final four on points
as did Cole Custer.

Revolution goalie Jacob Jackson looked away as Union players celebrated Mikael Uhre’s goal in the 26th minute.

This team’s built to lose
Revolution’s attacking system is misdirected in the MLS playoffs
Frank Dell’Apa
ON SOCCER
The Revolution’s 3-1 playoff-opening defeat Saturday to the host Philadelphia Union
was determined by three first-half errors:
misjudgment by goalkeeper Jacob Jackson,
leading to a penalty kick; overcommitment
by right back DeJuan Jones, opening the
way to the second goal; and a lack-of-focus
foul by Tomas Chancalay, setting up a free
kick for the third goal.
But the Revolution’s biggest problem is
tactical. The team is not set up to succeed in
a playoff system, simply because its emphasis is on attacking. That is how Bruce Arena
conceived the Revolution’s strategy, and it
paid off in a strong 2020 playoff run and record-setting ’21 regular season. It is also an
appealing style, the team willing to go allout forward at all times, just what fans —
and the league — say they want to see.
The postseason is a different type of competition, though, as it rewards conservative,
even defensive, play. Just how the Union like
to approach the game: You want to try a
passing game, play through the midfield,
commit on the wings? Fine, we’ll just stay
back, and won’t be reluctant about fouling.
Oh, by the way, don’t think we won’t also
counterattack and play for set pieces. It
served the Union well last season, until the
MLS Cup final, when they lost to Los Angeles FC on penalty kicks.
And it is not only the Union that have
that mind-set. Few MLS teams are willing to
throw caution to the wind. As in most
sports, it is easier, and simpler, to destroy
than to create.
It is the type of tactic that used to be

called “anti-football,” and it is something FIFA legislated against via rules changes in the
early 1990s. The combination of abolishing
back passes; attempting to give the benefit
of the doubt to forwards on offside decisions; awarding 3 points for a victory — have
amped up the pace of soccer. But teams can
still present a spoiling style of play. In fact,
the mania for incessant high pressing, with
attackers doing more defending than attacking, is based on destruction.
So, while the Revolution should be commended for trying to set a positive pace, the
fact is, it is difficult to pull off. Arena, who
resigned as sporting director/head coach after being placed on administrative leave,
was excellent at finding a balance. His teams
won five MLS Cups, thanks to an abundance
of creative players, combined with dominant
midfield possession, and solid defending.
Revolution interim coach Clint Peay
played for Arena in college and at D.C. United, and has a similar philosophy about emphasizing possession and offense. But Arena
is a difficult act to follow, and the jury is still
out if Peay can win playoff matches with a
team that is set up to score first.
This is an especially difficult task for the
Revolution without Carles Gil. He appeared
to be targeted by the Union, and it only took
six minutes for him to be eliminated —
though Gil did not depart until the score
was 1-0.
Gil was an injury waiting to happen. It
goes back to when the Revolution defeated
the Union in the ‘20 playoffs, when Gil and
Tajon Buchanan got the better of Jose Martinez, who was so disoriented he was replaced
after halftime. This time, Martinez went after Gil right away, and referee Pierre-Luc
Lauziere called him for a foul. Martinez,

who has improved noticeably as holding
midfielder in the last three years, did not let
up. And though Martinez harangued Lauziere for the next few minutes, he had nothing to do with Gil’s injury. Credit for that
goes to Mikael Uhre, who floored Gil, greatly
reducing the Revolution’s hopes not just for
the opener, but, possibly, for Game 2.
According to Peay, the status of Gil (right
knee) for the Nov. 8 game is undetermined.
Even should Gil recover, the Revolution’s
chances of getting through the playoffs are
not looking good. Yes, the Revolution could
get into the offensive flow. They did so early
against the Union, Noel Buck hitting the underside of the bar; and late, a 68th-minute
Gustavo Bou goal, Bobby Wood’s shot tipped
off the bar by goalkeeper Andre Blake. But it
is difficult to keep up a high-paced offense
for several games on end.
Also, the Revolution are paying for
squandering a chance for home-field advantage, as they slumped from second place under Arena to a fifth-place Eastern Conference finish. To capture their first MLS Cup,
the Revolution would likely have to win four
road games, and they have been victorious
away only thrice this season, all of those
wins before June.
Yet — win, lose, or draw — the Revolution should be recognized for taking the
game forward, and not spending much of
the match berating referees or sitting back.
Even without Gil, they did not renounce
their attacking spirit.
The Revolution might not have a championship formula, but if they go down, they
will go down going for goal.

Cup playoffs first round series
on Saturday. New England must
now win consecutive games to
avoid elimination.
Playing at Subaru Park, the
visiting Revolution started the
game well. Arlington native Noel Buck’s rebound off a MarkAnthony Kaye shot in the ninth
minute hit the crossbar, and
New England came close to an
opening goal on multiple occasions.
The game turned in the 15th
minute, when Revolution goalkeeper Jacob Jackson — making
just his third career start —
fouled Union forward Julián
Carranza in the box (the call was
eventually made after a video
review). Philadelphia attacking
midfielder Dániel Gazdag converted the ensuing penalty kick
to give the home side a 1-0 lead.
The Revolution were simultaneously dealt a serious blow
when playmaker Carles Gil left
the game immediately following
the Union goal with a right leg
injury. His departure deprived
New England of its captain and
most dynamic player, forcing a
change in interim head coach

Clint Peay’s lineup and tactics.
Philadelphia took full advantage of the situation, creating
two more first-half goals to take
a commanding 3-0 halftime
lead.
Though the Revolution
fought back to a degree in the
second half — forward Gustavo
Bou got New England on the
scoresheet with a well-worked
68th minute goal — it was far
from enough to overturn the
large deficit.
The Revolution return to Gillette Stadium for the second
game on Wednesday, Nov. 8 at 7
p.m. If necessary, the decisive
third game would be played
back in Philadelphia on Sunday,
Nov. 12 at 3 p.m.
Here are a few takeaways:
R All eyes will be on Gil’s possible recovery, given his central
role in everything the Revolution do while in possession of
the ball.
Peay said after the game that
Gil “took a knock, and it was
enough to limit him so that he
had to come off,” adding that the
team’s medical staff will reevaluate the situation in the coming
days.
R The Revolution will have
10 days to regroup before the
second game is played in front
of home fans in Foxborough.
The strange nature of the
league’s playoff scheduling (with
such a long gap between the
first and second games) was initially seen as a possible challenge for New England. It could

(Christian Makoun, 83rd), Noel Buck (Emmanuel
Boateng, 75th), Matt Polster, Mark-Anthony Kaye
(Giacomo Vrioni, 46th), Carles Gil (Bobby Wood,

Flach, 77th), Daniel Gazdag, Julián Carranza

end up being an advantage, giving Gil more time to rest up and
potentially get back on the field.
R Jackson, given his clumsy
challenge that led to the penalty,
will undoubtedly receive his
share of criticism for the performance. He was less at fault for
the other goals, which were the
result of poor marking, and
managed to keep the Union
from adding anything in the second half.
Peay noted that “everyone’s
in contention, goalkeepers as
well,” when asked if Jackson
would start the second game.
R Playing without Gil showed
the Revolution just how hard it
can be to pass the ball out of the
back.
The lack of the Spanaird’s
calming and creative presence
in midfield led to multiple turn-

overs in New England’s own
half. His status for the second
game will likely be a decisive
factor.
R Given both the playoff
stage and the fact that it was a
New England-Philadelphia
matchup, the game was played
with an escalated level of physicality. Gil was on the receiving
end early, culminating with his
exit because of injury.
At multiple points in the
match, the game ground to a
halt with shoving matches coming after fouls. Five yellow cards
were handed out, four of which
went to Revolution players.
Peay acknowledged that the
Union got the better of it.
“First and foremost they
we re ver y physi ca l,” he e x plained. “They disrupted us a
lot, especially in transition moments.”
R Playing in what could be
one of his last games with the
Revolution (his contract is up
after the season), Bou flashed
the game-changing ability that
— had the scoreline been closer
— could have been a difference
for New England.
His goal, created by dribbling through Philadelphia defenders Jack Elliott and Nathan
Harriel before emphatically firing the ball past Union goalkeeper Andre Blake, was the
Revolution’s standout highlight
of the night.

SEVEN WONDERS OF THE SPORTS WORLD >> AUGUSTA NATIONAL >> LAMBEAU FIELD >> CHURCHILL DOWNS

THE GRASS IS GREENEST
AT AUGUSTA NATIONAL
S TO RY A ND P HO T OS B Y S TA N G RO SS F EL D | GL OB E STA FF

A

UGUSTA, Ga. — Before the 87th Masters starts, the best golfers in the
world are out at 7 a.m., smacking balls
that get swallowed by fog. Their caddies, in white jumpsuits and green
hats, hover in the background like
ghosts, and patrons swarm closer as
the rising sun kisses velvety greens.
“Everything is perfect,” whispers a voice in the crowd.
It had better be. If you are not a member of Augusta
National or didn’t win a lottery, prepare to pay dearly. A
four-day badge to enter golf paradise costs $11,588 on
the secondary-ticket market. Tacky motels charge more
than $300 a night.
But once you’re inside, concession prices are inexpensive. A cup of beer with the Masters logo is $5. The famous pimento sandwiches are $1.50. The Masters Georgia Peach Ice Cream Sandwich is $2.50; on this day, they
are sold out by 10 a.m.
It’s definitely old-school here, with cigar-smoking patrons and armies of smiling volunteers (they’ll get a free
pass after 25 years). There are thousands of people and
not a single cellphone. They are forbidden on the property.
Outside the fourth hole, there is a nondescript kiosk
featuring banks of phones you can use to call anywhere
at no charge.
It feels like 1934, when the first Masters took place.
Huge scoreboards are manually operated. There is no
advertising.
The Masters even has its own lingo — there are no
“fans,” only “patrons” — and many, many rules. Running
is not allowed, no bare feet, no sitting on the grass, no
standing in sitting areas, no hats worn backward, and
no cameras except on practice days. News photographers must use electronic cameras set to silent.
The area surrounding Augusta National is a stark

contrast, a mishmash of fast-food restaurants, a Hooters
with a “Come Meet John Daly” sign, the obligatory
You’re-Gonna-Rot-in-Hell sinner guy, a Trump-flag-waving van, and tents with “We Buy and Sell” badges.
Nobody seems to be selling.
Greg Fisher, 50, of Washington state, is poised at the
front entrance before sunrise. He has wanted to come
here since he was 5.
“This is No. 1 on my bucket list,” he says. “Just the
tradition, the history, the beauty, the mystique, the magic.”
TV doesn’t do it justice. It’s gorgeous, even this year
when a heat wave caused the iconic azaleas to bloom

‘This is No. 1 on my bucket list.
Just the tradition, the history,
the beauty, the mystique, the
magic.’
GREG FISHER, of Washington state,
on visiting Augusta

early. You’ll never see a weed. Also missing are mosquitoes, squirrels, and any kind of pests. Conspiracy theorists suggest that bird chirpings are piped in, but this is
hard to verify. Golf Digest once tested the water from a
pond on the 15th hole and found it had food dye in it.
The manicured greens are cut to an eighth of an inch.
Sandwich bags are colored green, just like the gravel. If
you enter the gift shop, you’ll be losing a lot of green.
The giant store sells an estimated $69 million in merchandise, according to Forbes magazine. Souvenirs are
not sold online, only at the Masters.

Almost everything with a Masters logo on it is for
sale, except for the green jacket awarded to the winner.
The Masters champion gets to keep the jacket for a year,
then must store it on Augusta property.
Patrons line up early to buy Masters gnomes, which
quickly sell out and turn up on eBay for eight times the
price.
Golfers can’t apply for membership to Augusta National; they must be invited. They didn’t invite a Black
man to compete in the Masters until Lee Elder in 1975,
and there were no female members until 2012 (former
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice).
Patrons can buy a Masters lawn chair for $40, set up
behind the ropes surrounding the greens, and come and
go as they please. When they return, they will have first
dibs on it.
There is no booing. Everyone is civilized; even patrons who drink beer all day and have a pile of souvenir
cups are polite.
“They’re more getting drunk on the Masters than
beer,” says one sheriff.
On practice days, the most fun is at No. 16. Here, the
crowd chants “skip it” and the pros try to skim the ball
across the pond up a steep hill and onto the green. Some
balls land on the green and stick, others roll back into
the drink.
At Amen Corner’s famous 13th hole, a doctor and her
husband, a nurse, couldn’t believe their luck. There was
a spot nestled in the pines with shade, and close access
to concession stands and bathrooms. The pros land their
tee shots with surgical precision between them and
Rae’s Creek.
The couple didn’t want to give their names — maybe
they called out sick — but after the COVID pandemic,
the air was sweet and the beer was cold, so who could
blame them?
“This is heaven,” they said in unison.

About this series: The Globe’s Stan Grossfeld visited seven of the most vaunted and celebrated sports venues in the United States.
Look for six more installments of this series during the coming weeks in the Boston Sunday Globe.

Fans — or “patrons,” as Augusta officials prefer they be called — must adhere to a variety of rules at the Masters but appear free to sport their choice of headgear.

ill Venable ended his
playing career after
the 2016 season and
joined the Cubs in
2017 as special assistant in baseball operations, working
under Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer.
Over time, and after many conversations, the decision was made to put Venable on the coaching staff. He was the
Cubs’ first base coach from 2018-19
and third base coach in 2020.
Venable, 40, moved to the Red Sox
as bench coach from 2021-22 and is
now associate manager of the Rangers.
Venable, a Princeton graduate, had
choices about what direction to take in
baseball. He could have worked in the
front office but wanted a position back
in uniform so he could work with players directly.
“In general, being closer to the guys
is where I want to make the impact and
where I think my skill-set fits better,”
Venable said. “I just kind of take this
year by year.”
For now, Venable is comfortable
with the Rangers and has turned down
opportunities to interview with teams
seeking a new manager. But that time
will come.
The path Venable followed gives him
insight into new Red Sox chief baseball
officer Craig Breslow.
Breslow, who graduated from Yale,
retired after the 2017 season and joined
the baseball operations staff of the Cubs
in 2019 as director of strategic initiatives.
He became director of pitching and
a special assistant to Epstein and Hoyer
in 2020 before being promoted to assistant general manager and vice president of pitching in 2021.
Breslow and Venable were never
teammates, although they faced each
other three times over their careers (Venable was 0 for 3 with a strikeout).
Then they worked together for two
years with the Cubs.
Knowing both Breslow and the inner workings of the Red Sox, Venable
believes it was a good decision by both
sides.
“I think it’ll be great,” he said. “He’s
a super-bright guy, obviously, [and]
with the playing experience. To have
that combination, I think it’s a great
person to lead that club.
“A wide range of strengths. Obviously, he’s going to have to manage a lot of
people and he’s a really good communicator. With his pitching background,
not just as a big league pitcher but the
way he went about it [and] the way he
was able to use pitch design to add to
the end of his career.
“He’s somebody that will be a really
good voice for that club in getting them
on track to where they want to be . . .
I’m super happy for him.”
Venable and Breslow didn’t always
work closely together in Chicago. But
Venable came away impressed with
what he saw and what he heard from
others.
“He’s just somebody who knows the
game really well and certainly is a really
bright guy,” said Venable. “He’s one of
those ex-players that if you didn’t know
that he was a player he sounds like an
executive. He has the insight of a player.”
Rangers designated hitter and backup catcher Mitch Garver played with
Breslow with the Twins in 2017. He
suspected then that Breslow was headed for more in the game than having
been a useful lefthanded reliever.
“We knew he was a smart guy. We
knew he had a career in baseball after
being a player,” Garver said. “He understood the game. It was more than talent; it was how he thought about the
game. That’s what separated him.”
The Rangers have found success
with a former Ivy League pitcher, Chris
Young, running baseball operations.
“C.Y. understands the struggles of
the game because he played,” Garver
said. “It’s easier to relate to him. I think
there’s a lot of value there. Craig can
bring that same quality.”
Backed by majority owner Ray Davis, Young has been an effective recruiter of free agents and was able to lure
manager Bruce Bochy out of retirement.

baseman Marcus Semien said. “He’s
been in the clubhouse and seen how
groups work and what pieces they
need. He knows who would have the
right personalities to fit in.
“He obviously has great support
from ownership to go out and get the
best guys. But he’s not just throwing it
all together. He’s really meticulous
about the type of person he wants to
bring in here. This moment is special
for us and our leader has been there.
It’s refreshing to have somebody like
that in his role.”
Breslow, who won’t be officially
introduced until Thursday, should
bring many of those same attributes to
the Red Sox. Less certain is whether
ownership will bring the payroll up
from the middle of the pack.
Venable doesn’t see the Red Sox being too far away from being playoff contenders.
“Being in last place in that division
doesn’t really mean a whole lot,” he
said. “It’s such a tough division. That’s a
really good ball club that has a really
good core of young players, an exciting
group. [Alex] Cora is going to get the
best out of them. I feel good about their
future.”

Bernardino plans
to stick around
With a few exceptions in recent
years, most Red Sox players head for
warmer climes once the season is over.
But lefthanded reliever Brennan Bernardino, a Southern California native,
is sticking it out.
Bernardino decided to give up his
apartment in San Diego and stay in
Boston during the offseason. His wife,
LaCandance, likes the city, and their
son, Jaylen, is enrolled in fifth grade.
“It’s a big winter for me,” Bernardino
said. “I want to get stronger than ever,
more explosive than ever. I’ll work out
at Fenway and throw at Boston College.”
Bernardino, who turns 32 in January, has played winter ball in Mexico or
Venezuela the last six years to make
ends meet financially. But playing nearly a full season in the majors for the
first time will allow him to focus on development instead.
His plans include using a weighted
ball regimen to increase his velocity.
“I feel like I can do a lot to make myself even better,” Bernardino said. “I’ve
never had that opportunity before in
the offseason. I’m curious to see what I
can do.”
Bernardino attended the Patriots
game last week and posted a video on
social media wearing a Patriots cap and
wishing the team well.
“I’m very grateful to be in Boston,”
he said. “This team gave me a great opportunity. I worked my butt off for a

Kyle Schwarber

long time and they gave me a shot.”
So, Brennan, you know it’s going to
get cold?
“I’ll be fine,” he said. “I’ll probably
be freezing my butt off, but we like it
here.”
A few other observations on the Red
Sox:
R Marcus Semien was a free agent
after the 2020 season and signed a oneyear deal with the Blue Jays. He said
the Red Sox were one of the teams he
considered at the time.
“There were a lot of one-year deal
options and things of that nature, and
Boston was one of those teams,” he
said. “Once I had a big year in ’21, they
weren’t involved.”
Semien signed with the Rangers for
seven years and $175 million. To this
point, he’s been a much better value
than Trevor Story, who signed with the
Red Sox for six years and $140 million.
R The Diamondbacks are Tommy
Pham’s fifth team since 2021. That includes a 66-day stint with the Red Sox
in 2022.
“It was great,” he said. “They loved
me. [Alex] Cora was texting me in the
offseason. He thought there was a
chance for a reunion. I would always go
back. The fanbase is passionate but you
don’t want to be on the visiting side, of
course.
“They have a lot of guys over there
who are still trying to get better, which
at this level is what you want. You want
guys who are still continuing to work,
and you have coaches over there who
are still dedicated in preparing you for
a game and getting you better.
“I can see them turning it around
pretty quick.”

ETC.

Baker quietly
takes his leave
Dusty Baker left baseball better than
he found it after 19 seasons as a player
and 26 as a manager. Now 74, he retired from managing this past week but
hopes to stay in the game in some offfield capacity.
To say Baker has led an interesting
life is a vast understatement.
In 1968, he attended a Jimi Hendrix
concert in San Francisco at the famed
Winterland Ballroom. Baker and his
friends saw Hendrix on the street later
that night and smoked marijuana with
him.
Baker was on deck when Hank Aaron hit his record-setting 715th home
run in 1974. They were the closest of
friends until Aaron died in 2021.
Baker is friendly with President
Obama. He opened a winery in California and managed Barry Bonds, Sammy
Sosa, Joey Votto, Bryce Harper, Max
Scherzer, Justin Verlander, and Jose
Altuve along the way.
During the ALCS this past week,
Baker carried a potted plant out of his

office and put it in the dugout because
it needed some air.
“He’s the most interesting man in
the world,” said Bronson Arroyo, who
played for Baker while a member of the
Reds. “He has a story for every occasion.”
Diamondbacks pitching coach Brent
Strom, who was on Baker’s staff in
Houston from 2020-21, was moved to
tears discussing Baker’s impact on his
career.
“Coaching with Dusty was something special,” Strom said. “He called
me 10 minutes before he went into his
retirement press conference and that
meant a lot to me.”
Baker’s 2,183 victories are seventh
all time and his 57 postseason victories
are fourth. He is eligible for the Hall of
Fame class of 2027 and is likely to be on
the same ballot as Terry Francona.

Extra bases
Former Rangers executive Jon Daniels declined an interview with the Red
Sox. But within the industry there is
speculation that Daniels might have
changed his mind about the Sox had
they hired Twins general manager Thad
Levine for the top job. Daniels and
Levine worked together in Texas and
are good friends . . . Rangers right fielder Adolis Garcia is having an eventful
postseason. He became the first player
to hit a grand slam against the same
team (the Astros) in the regular season
and the postseason. He also was the
first player to hit a grand slam in a playoff game after striking out four times.
Not bad for a player Texas designated
for assignment during spring training
in 2021. Garcia passed through waivers
and was outrighted to Triple A. He was
put back on the roster on April 13 and
has 97 home runs and a .777 OPS since
. . . Jordan Montgomery has a 2.95 ERA
when Mike Maddux has been his pitching coach, and 3.84 otherwise. Maddux
coached Montgomery in St. Louis last
season and then again when the
lefthander was traded to Texas in July.
“I got with Mike last year, and we had a
lot of success for about 10 starts with
St. Louis and I tried to carry it over to
this year,” Montgomery said. “I’ll say
just having Mike around and seeing
how my stuff is moving has been a
help.” Montgomery is sure to have plenty of options in free agency. But he
might be wise to stick with Maddux if
the Rangers make a competitive bid . . .
Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo
was stunned to get a call from Mike
Krzyzewski asking him to be a guest on
his podcast. “I was trying to listen to
the question that he was asking me,
and I barely was able to because I
thought to myself 15 times, ‘I cannot
believe that I’m talking to Coach K right
now. This just is not happening.’ It
meant a lot to me that he was interested in what’s happening inside of our
world, inside of our culture, and he
wants to know some of the strategies
and some of the mind-sets that I have.

29 (111 games)
27 (103)
22 (121)
20 (158)
20 (65)

That blows me away.” . . . Does it seem
odd to anybody else that the Diamondbacks had retired Cardinals receiver
Larry Fitzgerald and former Olympic
swimmers Amy Van Dyken and Michael
Phelps throw out first pitches before
their NLCS home games? Granted, Arizona doesn’t have a long history with
baseball. But aren’t there some actual
former Diamondbacks who could have
done it? Phelps, who was born and
raised in Baltimore, was accorded the
honor because he now lives in Arizona.
He lobbed in a pitch and gave the safe
sign. Yikes . . . With the Astros losing in
the ALCS, baseball has gone another
season without a repeat champion. The
streak, which goes back to the 19982000 Yankees, is the longest in the history of MLB, the NFL, NBA, or NHL . . .
Portland native Ryan Flaherty is a candidate to become the next manager in
San Diego after Bob Melvin was allowed to go to the Giants. Flaherty, 37,
played eight years in the majors. He has
been with the Padres since 2020, moving up to bench coach this season. Flaherty’s father, Ed, is the longtime and
hugely successful coach at Southern
Maine. He is 1,116-511-4 since 1986
with 26 NCAA Tournament appearances . . . The Worcester Red Sox continued
a tradition that dates back 73 years by
arranging to send two children from
the Boys & Girls Club of Pawtucket —
12-year-old Leah Torres and 9-year-old
Ayden Carroll — to Games 1 and 2 of
the World Series, along with their chaperones. The trips were started in 1950
in Pawtucket then were sponsored by
the Pawtucket Red Sox beginning in
1990. The team maintained the tradition after moving to Worcester . . . Condolences to the friends and family of
Portland native Pete Ladd, who died of
cancer this past week at 67. Ladd’s family moved to Atlanta when he was in
high school. He went on to play at the
University of Mississippi before being
drafted by the Red Sox in 1977. Ladd
and Bobby Sprowl were traded to
Houston for Bob Watson in 1979. Ladd
was then dealt to Milwaukee in 1981
and helped the Brewers to the 1982
World Series with three perfect relief
appearances in the ALCS against the
Angels, retiring all 10 batters he faced
and earning two saves. Ladd issued two
walks to force in a run in Game 2 of the
World Series and didn’t appear in the final five games. Ladd had 25 saves in
1983, part of a six-year career in the
majors . . . Happy birthday to Mandy
Romero, who is 56. The catcher appeared in 12 games and had 16 plate
appearances for the Red Sox in September 1998 after being acquired from the
Padres in June. Romero spent 1999
with Triple A Pawtucket before being
traded to the Mets in July. Romero
played with nine organizations during
his career and was one of the replacement players during the 1995 strike.

World Series run a mix of
emotions for Hazen
Peter Abraham
ON BASEBALL
ARLINGTON, Texas — Mike
Hazen radiates confidence.
There’s an authoritative tone to
his voice and an assertiveness
born of the experience that led to
his becoming general manager of
the Arizona Diamondbacks.
As he sat in front of a group of
reporters before the World Series,
Hazen deftly steered credit to others in the organization then
pushed back on a question that
suggested the roster he constructed was more a product of good
fortune than good preparation.
Then he made everybody
laugh, relaying that his 7-year-old
nephew was excited to be coming
to Game 3 in Arizona on Monday
because he could sit in a suite and
eat chicken fingers.
News conferences, especially
at big events, can be a little stilted
at times. But Hazen was working
the room and having fun.
But Hazen’s swagger cracked,
just a bit, when he was asked how
his four sons were enjoying the
team’s run to the World Series.
“I don’t know if I can put it into words, the moments we’ve gotten together,” Hazen said, his
voice catching for a second.
Nicole Hazen, Mike’s wife and
the mother of Charlie, John, Teddy, and Sam, died last August two
years after being diagnosed with
brain cancer. She was only 45.
Hazen describes himself as a
mom and dad now, getting the
boys off to school in the morning
before he goes to the office,
watching some games from home
instead of the ballpark and relying
on his co-workers to take care of
some things he used to handle
himself.
When the Diamondbacks were
in Philadelphia for the NLCS,
their grandmothers watched the
boys. Hazen called home to get a
scouting report.

“You know how much they
were enjoying it? They actually
put down their phones now to
watch the game,” Hazen said.
“And everybody knows exactly
what I’m talking about.”
He laughed and at the same
time dabbed the side of his left
eye.
The Arizona players, coaches,
and staffers are sympathetic
about what happened to the Hazen family. But there is not a “Win
one for Nicole” vibe around the
team.
No trophy would begin to fill
the void of losing someone who
was a beloved wife and mother
and a middle school teacher who
was passionate about her job.
Everybody understands that.
But manager Torey Lovullo believes this postseason run has
been restorative in a way for Hazen, who is much more a friend
and colleague than his boss. They
came to the Diamondbacks from
the Red Sox together after the
2016 season.
“From a baseball side, we
needed this,” Lovullo said. “We
lost 110 games two years ago. It’s
just nice that we have something
to celebrate. But I’ve also seen
Haze smile and just enjoy what
we’ve been able to do. Nobody deserves to go through what he did.”
Corbin Carroll, Arizona’s talented 23-year-old outfielder, debuted last season then worked
with Hazen over the winter to
hammer out an eight-year contract extension.
“I respected him from when I
got drafted,” Carroll said. “Then
you learn what was going on with
him personally and that respect
grew. I admire what he has been
able to do. That’s everything, not
just the baseball part.”
The baseball part should be
recognized. Hazen made a smart
trade last year, sending prized
outfield prospect Daulton Varsho
to the Blue Jays for young catcher
Gabriel Moreno and outfielder

Lourdes Gurriel Jr.
At 23, Moreno is advanced defensively and an above-average
hitter. Arizona is set at a position
so many teams struggle to fill.
Hazen also made trades to obtain the team’s top starter, Zac
Gallen, from the Marlins and closer Paul Sewald from the Mariners.
His first trade, in 2016, landed
second baseman Ketel Marte, now
a foundational player.
Merrill Kelly, who was signed
in 2018 after playing four seasons
in South Korea, allowed one run
over seven innings in Arizona’s
9-1 victory in Game 2 on Saturday
night.
The righthander gave up three
hits and struck out nine without a
walk. Moreno homered and Tommy Pham was 4 for 4 with two
runs scored as the Diamondbacks
evened the series.
Hazen, who grew up in Abington, will have “loads” of family
and friends from back home when
the Series shifts to Chase Field.
“It will be awesome,” he said.
“They don’t get out much to see a
lot of games. They’ve always said,
‘If you get to the World Series,
we’re coming.’ They have a lot of
kids; we have a lot of kids. It’s a
lot to come across the country.
“They just said they were going
to do it because they always said
they were going to do it.”
Those out-of-towners should
keep a suitcase handy.
Hazen agreed to a contract extension through 2028 this month
and has built a team that can be
more than an occasional party
crasher.
“It’s been a lot for this organization, from where we came
from,” he said. “It’s very satisfying.
All the work that went in — from
Torey and his staff and our players
— to be here, we’re very proud of
them and very proud to be here.”

Diamondbacks 9 ARLINGTON, Texas —
Merrill Kelly pitched
Rangers
1 three-hit ball over seven
innings, Ketel Marte extended his postseason
hitting streak to a record 18 games, and the Arizona Diamondbacks routed the Texas Rangers, 9-1, on Saturday night to even the World
Series at one game apiece.
Gabriel Moreno hit a go-ahead homer in a
two-run fourth against Jordan Montgomery,
and Tommy Pham went 4 for 4 with a pair of
doubles as the young Diamondbacks rebounded quickly from an agonizing defeat the night
before.
Marte added a two-run single in a three-run
eighth, breaking a tie for the longest postseason hitting streak with Derek Jeter, Manny
Ramírez, and Hank Bauer. Marte has a hit in
every postseason game he’s ever played.
A night after wasting a two-run, ninth-inning lead in a 6-5, 11-inning loss, the Diamondbacks outhit Texas, 16-4, and never trailed. The
16 hits marked the most in a Series game in
nine years.
Emmanuel Rivera also had a two-run single, and rookie Corbin Carroll had a pair of RBI
singles. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and 38-year-old Evan Longoria each singled in a run for Arizona,
which got its first World Series road win after
four losses dating to 2001.
The Series, just the third between wild-card
teams, shifts to Arizona for Game 3 on Monday
in the first Series game at Phoenix since 2001.
Texas will send righthander Max Scherzer to
the mound against Arizona rookie righthander
Brandon Pfaadt.
Kelly struck out nine, walked none, and
went to just one three-ball count, allowing his
only run on Mitch Garver’s leadoff homer in
the fifth.
The 35-year-old righthander took an unusual career path. After six seasons in the minors
he detoured to South Korea from 2015-18 before making his major league debut with Arizona in 2019.
Back then he could hardly imagine dominating on baseball’s biggest stage.
“I dreamt of it, but I think at that point
when I was doing it, that was all it was, was a
dream,” Kelly said. “It took a lot of hard work, a
lot of being in the right place. I’ve got to give a
lot of credit to the Arizona organization for giving me a chance to be here. I appreciate them a

Kelly went 12-8 with a 3.29 ERA in 30 starts
this season and is 3-1 with a 2.25 ERA in four
postseason starts.
Pham, a trade-deadline acquisition from
the Mets, entered in a 3-for-29 skid that included a Game 1 homer. He singled in the second,
hit opposite-field doubles to right in the fourth
and sixth, and singled in the eighth. He also
was picked off second base by Montgomery
Montgomery entered 3-0 in the postseason
and was coming off a win in relief in Monday’s
Game 7 victory at Houston that won the AL
pennant, only the second time he pitched out
of the bullpen in his big league career. His velocity was down about 1.5 miles per hour from
his season average, and Diamondbacks batters
failed to make contact on just two of the 37
pitches they swung at.
Moreno put Arizona ahead when Montgomery left a full-count curveball over the middle
of the plate. Moreno lined the ball into Arizona’s bullpen in left-center, giving him four postseason homers and 10 RBIs in 14 games. Pham
sliced a two-out double into the right-field corner and scored on Gurriel’s single for a 2-0
lead.
Arizona built a 4-1 cushion in the seventh.
Alek Thomas doubled leading off and scored
when Longoria, in his first World Series since
2008, hit a hard grounder that got past rookie
third baseman Josh Jung and down the line for
an RBI single.
Longoria advanced on Geraldo Perdomo’s
sacrifice and scored on Carroll’s single.
Carroll followed Marte’s two-run single in
the eighth with an RBI single off Martín Pérez
that made it 7-1. Rivera added a two-run single
in the ninth.

Lewiston is tight-knit, also with many ties to sports
uSULLIVAN

working, sports-loving former mill
town whose ethos is intrinsic to everything they become. Whether they stay,
whether they leave, whether they call it
a city or call it a town, Lewiston is who
they are, and who they want to remain.
“It’s a great town,” said native son
Tom Caron, whose oh-so-familiar
NESN Red Sox voice is thick with emotion. “Listen, there’s a lot of people
across the country who are thinking
this is like the town in ‘Murder, She
Wrote.’ But this is not Cabot Cove. It’s
an industrial mill town, it’s got a great
university in Bates. This is an ethnic
melting pot just like the rest of society.”
One built by grandfathers such as
Caron’s, who moved down from Quebec to work the mills and used to run a
general store, or by his father, who was
an alderman who helped recast the
city’s charter.
“My son once told me, how did he
put it, ‘Dad, you have the greatest work
ethic of anyone I’ve ever known,’ ” Caron said. “That is 100 percent from
growing up in Lewiston. It’s a city
where you just had to work your tail off
to get along. Anyone from Lewiston
will tell you you’re going to work.”
They worked, and they played.
Caron may have biked the neighborhood before school hitting more than
100 houses on his paper route, but he
also found time to become quite the
soccer player, in the Lewiston High
School record books up until only a few
years ago for best goals-against average
by a goalkeeper. While soccer prowess
is reflected as recently as Lewiston

High’s historic 2015 state championship, with a roster of primarily Somali
immigrants that united Lewiston so
stirringly it was the subject of Amy
Bass’s 2018 book “One Goal: A Coach, a
Team, and the Game That Brought a
Divided Town Together,” hockey historically rules the day, or the ice. With
parish teams from every corner competing against each other, the downtown rink has been the heartbeat of the
city for generations, through the settling of Canadian, Vietnamese, and
East African diasporas.
The famous Muhammad Ali-Sonny
Liston photo? Taken in Lewiston,
amazingly, in the same building where
current Holy Cross women’s hockey
coach Katie Lachapelle lived out her
youthful playing days.
“I almost equate it to those movies
with a small football hometown team
that brings everyone together, that’s
w h a t L e w i s t o n f e e l s l i k e t o m e ,”
Lachapelle said from the bus on her
team’s way to a game against Northeastern. “Everyone cheers for everybody. Everybody is connected. I played
on our boys’ high school hockey team.
Bree Bergeron, who plays at Merrimack now, her dad was on my team.
“Still, my nearest and dearest
friends are from Lewiston. You go to
your 20th reunion and it’s like you never left. Everybody is still kind, supportive, and tough. We are all intertwined.”
She’s not exaggerating. Lachapelle’s
father was a longtime assistant principal at Lewiston High and her mother a
middle school principal. They know everyone, including the likes of Caron
and his lifelong friend Eric Wagner, the

goal-scoring striker on their high
school team who is now the head coach
at Swarthmore College.
“Lewiston is more than a part of
me. It’s my identity to some degree,
and I think all of us feel that way
whether we moved home or away,”
Wagner said. “I go back every summer
to work on a soccer clinic, and I get to
connect with my roots. The thing that
sticks out to me is the blue-collar,
down-to-earth nature of all the people.
It doesn’t matter if you’re Somali,
French-Canadian or WASPy like me,
from a mixed background, it just matters being from Lewiston. They are
proud of who they are, worn on the
sleeve of every Lewistonian.”
As news of the shooting unfolded,
that connectivity meant that nearly everyone heard from someone who knew
someone who was directly affected. As
neighbors, they are feeling each other’s
pain like never before. As Lachapelle
put it, “It’s a big city in Maine but it’s
still a small town relative to anywhere
in Massachusetts. If you don’t know
somebody directly, in three people you
could connect to them.”
Take the work of Cara Valentino and
Chrissie Penney, who help run the
Dempsey Center, a comprehensive cancer care center that is the philanthropic outreach founded by McDreamy
himself, former “Grey’s Anatomy” star
a n d p r o u d Ma i n e n a t i v e Pa t r i c k
Dempsey. With centers in Lewiston
and South Portland, Valentino and
Penney spent the past few days working up ways to offer their facilities to
assist the town in any way during this
crisis and beyond. And their annual

fundraiser, the Dempsey Challenge,
speaks so much to what these people
value.
Each other.
“ We just had our 15 th one this
year,” Penney said. “The challenge is a
walk, run, or ride event, a noncompetitive event that is community built and
inspired. In the course of one day we’ll
offer people different options whether
they want to run, walk, or ride, and it
really brings people together to celebrate and honor someone with a cancer impact.
“I think if you walked into or
walked by Simard Payne Park, where
it’s held, the first thing you would experience is a magic. This year we had
over 2,200 participants, and they all
fundraised for the Dempsey Center.
And this year those over 2,200 people
raised over $1.8 million.”
As Valentino said, “All of Maine, it’s
a large state, but it’s a small community. Lewiston is a big-hearted, tight-knit
community, and we already know folks
on staff and volunteers here are going
to have lost loved ones.”
These people will go through so
much together — the anger, the shock,
the sadness, the grieving. The small
steps forward into honoring and remembering victims. The knowledge
settling in, like it did for Bostonians in
the wake of the Marathon bombing,
that nothing will be the same again.
They will be there to help each other
heal.
“Our students are already asking,
‘What can we do?’ ” said Jason Fein, the
Bates athletic director, whose office
helped plan a Friday night vigil, one

that had to be held on Zoom, given the
ongoing search for the suspect. “They
want to make T-shirts to help families.
From their dorms, where they are sheltering in place. We have our athletic
staff helping out with food services.
This is our community.”
So let’s celebrate Lewiston, and
Maine, even amid these awful and tragic headlines. Embrace its beautiful connections to the Bruins, and to the Celtics, both of whom have lower-level
teams in the state, leading both Celtics
coach Joe Mazzulla and Bruins coach
Jim Montgomery, a former University
of Maine hockey star, to voice their
h e a r t b r e a k . Pa t r i o t s c o a c h B i l l
Belichick and owner Robert Kraft
shared similar messages of sympathy.
The Bruins put stickers on their helmets when they took the ice Thursday,
and their foundation already has
pledged donations to Lewiston. Caron
already helped get the Auburn Area
Response Fund up and running.
For Caron, it’s personal. He met his
wife, Kelley O’Malley, in Lewiston. His
parents, Bob and Vi, lived there until
their deaths. As the youngest of five,
Caron and his siblings still gather at his
vacation home in Maine, which is
where they were Wednesday, celebrating an early birthday for Tom.
“And I thought, how many of these
have we watched on TV,” he said. “So
how can I be surprised it’s in my backyard?”

Steen has one goal: Stick in Boston

Kevin Paul Dupont
ON HOCKEY

There’s a lot the Bruins like about Oskar Steen,
which is why in April 2022 general manager Don
Sweeney signed him to a two-year contract worth
a guaranteed $800,000 per year. Steen would just
like them to like him more.
Granted, $800,000 is not a huge sum. In fact,
it’s a whopping 94 percent discount off the $13
million that fellow winger David Pastrnak will
coin this season after firing home 61 goals in
2022-23.
There are, after all, varying degrees of reassurance when it comes to votes of confidence.
But for a guy who has yet to sink his skates into
NHL ice with any regularity, that $800,000 oneway deal told Steen he had a place with the Bruins
— one that came to fruition again Saturday when
he was summoned from AHL Providence and
placed in the lineup hours later at TD Garden for a
4-1 win over the Red Wings.
Now, for the fifth year running since leaving his
home in Sweden to play in North America, the 5foot-10-inch “brandpost” (Swedish for fire hydrant) would like the Providence-Boston shuttle to
end. He prefers to be a Boston Bruin, one who
doesn’t show up like he did Saturday morning, a
WannaB with all his hockey tools shoved in a big
Spoked-P bag, needing to persuade one and all
that he’s a legit, don’t-let-me-ever-see-Route-95again NHLer.
“For sure, I was disappointed,” said the 25-yearold Steen, noting how he felt when the fall’s varsity
camp ended here and he, once again, was pointed
back to Rhode Island. “I felt like I was very close to

making the [Boston] team and I felt I had a really
good camp.”
Steen, playing right wing Saturday on a fourth
line with Johnny Beecher and Patrick Brown, finished with 9:31 in ice time and landed two shots
on net.
“I liked his game,” noted coach Jim Montgomery. “I really liked in the third period when he took
a shot and then bull-rushed to the net. He almost
banged home his own rebound. You can’t get
enough of that.”
Steen was at the top of the crease, poking his
stick at the puck on the goal line, as Charlie McAvoy rushed the net for 2-0 lead. McAvoy scored on
the shot, but Steen was right there, ready to convert the loose change.
“I was pleased,” Steen said about his season debut. “I mean, it was OK, but I can be better. It’s the
way it works up here, right? I’m not going to get
big minutes, but I have to do the best with what I
get.”
Providence is home Sunday afternoon vs.
Springfield. It’s possible that Steen will rejoin the
WannaB’s for that one, then return for Monday’s
game at the Garden vs. Florida.
“Haven’t heard anything yet,” said Steen, as he
prepared to pack up postgame.
Had it not been for Sweeney’s July supermarket
sweep in the UFA bargain aisle, Steen very well
could have been in the opening night lineup vs.
the Blackhawks. Veterans such as Milan Lucic and
James van Riemsdyk were added for money not
much above Steen’s $800,000. The depth chart
closed out Steen, along with the addition of rookie
pivots Matthew Poitras and Beecher.
“Steener” was called back because Lucic, dinged with a lower-body injury on the recent four-

game road trip, was placed on injured reserve. The
Bruins also returned Jesper Boqvist, another summer UFA signing, to Providence.
Lucic will be out a minimum two weeks and
potentially longer, according to Montgomery. Albeit without a promise beyond Saturday night, Lucic’s prolonged absence could allow Steen a chance
finally to gain a foothold on the Boston roster. It’s
a place he’s never stayed more than his 20-game
stint in 2021-22. All his other visits here, including
Saturday, totaled seven games.
“I know what I have to do,” Steen said after the
morning workout in Brighton, sounding almost
like he was reading from a tattered script he keeps
tucked in his back pocket. “I feel much more comfortable every time I get up here. I’ll try to bring
my good hockey that I have played so far this season — so that’s what I am aiming for.”
He arrived with a solid endorsement from Ryan Mougenel, his coach in Providence, who told
Montgomery that Steen had been “really impactful
the last three games” in the AHL.
“Playing fast and going to hard areas,” said
Montgomery, reflecting on what he saw in Steen’s
game in training camp. “Playing inside the dots is
a real strength of his . . . When you bring guys up,
you want them feeling good about their games,
feeling confident, and he’s a confident player right
now.”
For size and body type, the 5-10, 195-pound
Steen is just a bit bigger and thicker version of fellow brandpost Martin St. Louis, the prolific Hall of
Fame winger who starred at the University of Vermont before becoming an NHL sensation. Steen
never has displayed St. Louis’s touch, but he is
similar in speed and, more important, his willingness to venture into high-contact areas around the

net.
It’s his savviness down low that earned Steen
the call-up again, in part because the Bruins today
— without Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci — do
not score as much off the rush. Their best scoring
bids are a product of sustained puck possession
around the net.
If this audition shows Steen worthy of getting
in front, getting chances, maybe potting one or
two, then he has a chance of stay in town, now seven-plus years since the Bruins claimed him with
pick No. 165 in the 2016 draft.
“Being inside the dots and playing heavy at the
net,” mused Montgomery. “We are a significantly
better O-zone-playing team, creating scoring
chances this year, because of our presence at the
net. It makes sense, the way we’re built.”
In his 201 AHL games, Steen has a career offensive line of 44-61–105. He delivered at better
than twice that rate (3-2–5) in his five games back
down there this season. If he could mirror that
point-a-game rate at this level — something only
38 NHL regulars accomplished all of last season —
he would be here to stay, backed with a contract
far richer than that $800,000 confidence spaceholder.
For now, it’s baby steps — footprints like those
Steen left in the Boston Harbor sand for 26 games
prior to Saturday night. All of them, thus far, have
been swept out by the tide.
“Just keep going,” said Steen, sharing his mindset after his demotion three weeks earlier. “I was
just trying to think that I would be back here soon.
Now I am. That was my goal.”

BRUINS NOTEBOOK

Lindholm’s rough one
vs. Anaheim a ‘one-off ’
By Jim McBride
GLOBE STAFF

It was the ugliest number in
an ugly loss.
A quick check of the
scoresheet from the Bruins’ 4-3
overtime loss to the Ducks
Thursday night revealed a minus-4 in Hampus Lindholm’s
column.
The Bruins defenseman,
coming off his two best games
of the season in Anaheim and
Chicago, was the victim of some
gnarly bounces more than anything.
Jim Montgomery is aware of
the stat but dismissed it as a
“one-off” situation.
“With how much he’s helping us win . . . you can just look
at our goals against [12 in eight
games] and he has a huge impact on that,” the coach said before Saturday night’s 4-1 win
over Detroit.
At his best, Lindholm is one
of the best all-around defensemen in the NHL, playing in all
situations. He has yet to score a
point this year, despite being
aggressive with the puck.
“I feel like I’ve been creating
a lot of chances, so it’s like,
that’s hockey sometimes, that’s
sports and it doesn’t always reward you when you want to,”
said Lindholm, who hit a post
Thursday. “And then sometimes
you can play bad and everything goes your way.”
Montgomery said Saturday
following the club’s optional
skate that he does sense that
Lindholm might be pressing a
little bit, but it’s far down on
the coach’s list of concerns.
“He knows he’s an elite player in the league and he expects
to have not only an impact at
the defensive end, but at the offensive end,” Montgomery said.
“I think he’s pressing a little too
much on the offensive end,

which is leading the chances
against, and we just stick with
the process.”
Montgomery is pleased with
the way Lindholm and Charlie
McAvoy are transitioning the
puck from the back end to the
attacking zone. He even invoked the name of a Boston legend when describing the style
of puck movement he enjoys
most.
“You can’t stay with Hampus
and Charlie when they’re skating, and they move it. When
they carry it, it’s harder to create offense than when you
move it and join,” Montgomery
said.
“The best example ever is
Larry Bird. How did he create
so much offense? Did you ever
see him dribble from one end to
the other? No, he was moving
[the ball]. That second that he
moved the ball is where he beat
the guy to the next spot to create the layup. Not too many
dunks in his game.”
Against the Red Wings,
Lindholm was on the ice for
their lone goal to earn a minus-1 rating, but otherwise
played solidly in 21:21 of ice
time — only three seconds less
than McAvoy. Lindholm also
saw time paired with Kevin
Shattenkirk.

Lucic heads to LTIR
The Bruins officially placed
Milan Lucic on long-term injured reserve and called up Oskar Steen from Providence to
take his spot. Additionally, Jesper Boqvist was sent back to the
Baby B’s.
Lucic took a shot off his right
foot eight days ago in the win
over the Kings in Los Angeles.
“A couple of weeks,” said
Montgomery when asked about
a timeline for Lucic, who was
seen watching the game Satur-

day night from the ninth floor
of the Garden with a walking
boot on his right foot.
Another of the walking
wounded, Jakub Lauko, made a
quick trip through the dressing
room, his left eye still swollen
and purple after he took a skate
to the face against the Blackhawks Tuesday. Lauko, who
posted a selfie with the shiner,
was smiling and in good spirits.
“I shouldn’t have told him
that people like the scars and
cuts,” said Montgomery. “So, he
probably published it trying to
get more clicks.”

Canada honors O’Ree
Canada Post unveiled a new
commemorative stamp Saturday honoring Bruins legend
Willie O’Ree, the NHL’s first
Black player. The stamp features a recent picture of the 88year-old O’Ree in his trademark
fedora and smaller image from
his playing days with the Bruins
(1958-61) . . . The Bruins scored
three unassisted goals (one
from McAvoy, two from David
Pastrnak) in a game for the first
time since April 1, 2017 . . .
Massachusetts homie Steve
Carell was spotted in the front
row and received a huge ovation when his face flashed on

Jumbo, Joe Thornton officially
announced his retirement. A

speed to get down the wall, so I

kind of like that area where
you’re looking and maybe you’re
going around the net and seeing
if you can find somebody.
“But I thought, it’s sort of
split-second, I thought I could
cut across. I guess good things
happen when you go to the net.
It’s nice to get rewarded.”
Down at the other end Jeremy Swayman (22 saves) could
only marvel as he watched McAvoy.
“I got the best seat in the
house with that guy,” said Swayman. “So talented with the
puck, unbelievable vision, and
he just brings guys up around
him, true leader, and just to see
him charge a net like that again,
it’s one of our game plans and
obviously to get rewarded is
something special to see.
“But that’s both ends of the

and that’s why he’s one of the
top D-men in the league.”
Boston continued its territorial edge in the second period,
limiting the Red Wings’ time in

Brown asked Pastrnak on the

triumphs, his share of injuries, and unexpected setbacks.

while on an American Hockey League
contract with the Rockford IceHogs, the
Chicago Blackhawks’ top farm team.
Bjork has switched positions from
wing to center, a spot he hasn’t played
regularly since well before he began a
sparkling three-year run at Notre
Dame. Now rather than focus on goals
and assists, the bread and butter that
shaped his path to Causeway Street, his
attention is on becoming a reliable faceoff asset, using his abundant speed to
trigger breakouts and offensive transitions, and in his words, “close quickly
in the defensive zone.”
It’s a straightforward, uncomplicated remake. Bjork is still young enough,
smart enough, to make himself more
useful on each shift, a value that he now
realizes that he didn’t fully understand
in the fall of 2017 when he cracked the
Bruins’ opening night lineup on a No. 1
trio with Patrice Bergeron and Brad
Marchand. Bjork was there, in that
prized spot, because of his well-earned
reputation as a scorer, exceeding thencoach Bruce Cassidy’s training camp
expectations.
“You can get caught up in those
things pretty easily, especially when you
are younger,” said Bjork, noting how the
rookie in him focused more on his fit in
the top six and game-to-game point
production. “You don’t really have that
understanding of, you know, what’s going to make you a solidified NHL player. Wish I had kind of taken a step back

had played [in the NHL] and asked
maybe what they would do, and really

Dmitry Orlov, an important asset on
the Bruins’ backline down the stretch
last season, entered weekend play with
a league-worst minus-11 rating, playing
third pairing minutes with the Hurricanes. Ouch. In July, he signed a twoyear unrestricted free agent deal in Raleigh worth $15.5 million . . . Jakub
Lauko, like Matthew Poitras last Sunday in Anaheim, had a two-goal game
in his rookie season, the Czech winger
scoring his two last March 2 vs. the Sabres. In the last 30-plus years, only a
half-dozen Bruins connected for a hat
trick as rookies, the most recent of
whom was Frank Vatrano (Dec. 18,
2015, vs. Penguins), preceded by Blake
Wheeler (Nov. 6, 2008, Maple Leafs),
Brad Boyes (March 18, 2006, Hurricanes), Sergei Samsonov (April 9,
1998, Islanders), Steve Heinze (Jan. 14,
1993, Penguins), and Joe Juneau (Jan.
12, 1993, Sabres). Torey Krug (Jan. 4,
2014, Jets) was the last Bruins rookie
defenseman to score two in a game. No
Bruins backliner, including Bobby Orr
and Ray Bourque, clicked for a hat trick
in their freshman season . . . Long before he became a NESN broadcast sensation, 21-year-old Bruins rookie Barry
Pederson put his fingerprints on every
goal in the Bruins’ 7-2 shellacking of
the Whalers, finishing 3-4–7 on April 4,
1982, on Causeway Street. The 7-spot
remains a franchise record . . . Last season’s PIMs leader in the OHL? Tyler Savard, sentenced to 129 penalty minutes
during his stays with Soo and Barrie.
Marc Savard, his father, was central to
the Peter Chiarelli-orchestrated turnaround in Boston that began with the
UFA signings of Savard and Zdeno
Chara in July 2006. The senior Savard,
now 46, hitched on as an assistant
coach this year with the Flames after a
two-year stint as head coach with OHL
Windsor. Tyler, a 6-2, 200-pound left
wing, is in his fourth OHL season, with
Kingston, and twice went unclaimed in
the NHL Draft . . . The Bruins ultimately flipped Anders Bjork to Buffalo in a
spring 2021 deadline deal that brought
back Taylor Hall and Curtis Lazar. Hall,
of course, left via salary dump to the
Blackhawks (currently on their injured
reserve list) and Lazar is providing bottom-six support for the Devils — precisely the fit Bjork would like to find
anywhere in the Original 32 . . . The
Panthers, in Boston Monday night for
the first time since bouncing the Bruins
in Round 1 last spring, again are off to a
soft start (3-3-0). Like much of last season, No. 1 stopper Sergei Bobrovsky,
now 35, has been a disappointment,
leading coach Paul Maurice finally on
Tuesday to use backup Anthony Stolarz, the 6-6 former Flyers pick. Stolarz
turned back 27 shots in 3-1 win over
the woeful Sharks. Meanwhile, ex-Boston College goalie Spencer Knight remains at AHL Charlotte, attempting to
build back his game after exiting Sunrise late last season for a stay in the
Player Assistance Program, to work out
issues related to obsessive compulsive
disorder . . . RIP ex-Bruin Eddie Sandford, who was 19 when he plugged
right into the Black and Gold lineup in
the fall of 1947. He spent eight seasons
in Boston before he was dished to Detroit in the deal that put Terry Sawchuk
in a Bruins uniform for a couple of
years. Sawchuk eventually was wheeled
to the Red Wings for a 21-year-old John
Bucyk, a rare one-for-one trade involving two future Hall of Famers. Sandford, 95, spent decades as an NHL office official at Bruins games, and made
the Garden (old and new) a classier,
more welcoming place every time he
stepped foot in it.

Oshae Brissett had five rebounds and a powerful
dunk in 14 minutes off the bench Friday night.

Momentum
shifted by
Brissett in
Celtics’ win
By Adam Himmelsbach
GLOBE STAFF

After his team’s impressive 119-111 win over the Heat
on Friday night, Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla was asked
about managing momentum during games, whether
stopping an opponent’s surges or ensuring that his own
team’s rally rolls on.
Mazzulla seemed to appreciate the question and
started talking about how he has studied momentum
closely. He said there are ways to manipulate it. He said
there are ways to halt it. Much of the process, he said, involves simply having deep knowledge of your team, as
well as the other one.
Then he veered from the broader explanation toward
a specific example from the Celtics’ win. His excitement
was noticeable.
“The one thing we haven’t talked about yet is Oshae
Brissett,” Mazzulla said. “He didn’t play in Game 1. And,
like, he changed the game . . . That, to me, is what momentum is all about. He came in and he made a significant impact and he did his job at a high, high level.”
The Heat roared to a 26-13 lead. The good vibes from
the Celtics’ season-opening win in New York were quickly being replaced by unease, and perhaps some posttraumatic stress.
This was the first real game at TD Garden since the
eighth-seeded Heat crushed the Celtics in Game 7 of the
Eastern Conference finals, and another humbling defeat
would have created more angst than a regular-season
October loss usually does.
Mazzulla looked down his bench and called on Brissett, who signed a two-year, minimum-salary contract
this past summer. He was not part of the nine-man rotation against the Knicks, and Mazzulla had planned to insert him in the second quarter against the Heat. But he
was getting his chance now, and it was urgent.
After grabbing one defensive rebound two minutes
earlier, Brissett muscled into the lane and gobbled up
Jaylen Brown’s missed free throw before his putback attempt was swatted out of bounds. Still, it had given the
Celtics another possession.
This time, Al Horford missed an open 3-pointer from
the right arc and Brissett raced toward the hoop, slid
past Miami’s Kyle Lowry, and snagged another rebound.
The possession ended with a 3-pointer by Sam Hauser.
“[I was] kind of seeing how the game was going,” Brissett said. “Just felt like I knew what I had to do. Just
come in there and really just be myself. I didn’t want to
try to do anything too crazy or try to act out of character,
but that’s who I am, that’s how I play. With that mindset.”
Brissett’s work on the offensive glass helped set the
tone for what would become an essential aspect of Friday’s game, with the Celtics punishing the Heat with 23
second-chance points.
Finally, with 30 seconds left in the quarter, Brissett
noticed his defender veering toward Jayson Tatum at the
right arc, and he made a quick cut along the baseline.
Tatum zipped an over-the-head pass to Brissett, who
threw down a powerful lefthanded dunk before flexing
for the crowd.
In about five minutes, the 13-point deficit had been
whittled to just 3, and the Celtics credited Brissett’s energy and hustle for their revival.
“He was the sole reason that we got back into the
game, and I told him that,” Tatum said. “He came right
in, and we were kind of flat. His energy, his offensive rebounding, giving us second- and third-chance opportunities was big. And that’s his job. For him to come do
that, to not play last game and come in today and give us
the spark to turn the game around was huge. And that’s
what I love about our team.”
Mazzulla has stressed that roles for the bench players
outside of the top six will be fluid. So much will depend
on matchups, availability, and, as Brissett showed Friday,
momentum.
But Brissett believes he has the mind-set to stay prepared. And he understands that he and the other backups will have value in multiple ways.
“We know that we’re going to be important throughout a lot of these games of the season,” he said. “And then
when it comes to playoff time, we’re going to be relied
on, even if it’s for a little bit. Just go in there and just do
what we do and do what we’ve learned all of training
camp.
“So we take every practice like that and we’ve taken it
really serious and going up against starters and it’s making them better. And it’s also making us better and more
confident in ourselves knowing that any time we do get
thrown in, we’ve just got to play the same way.”

Brown prepared for bigger leadership role
Gary Washburn

I

t was a difficult season opener
for Jaylen Brown, one that required sacrifice as he attempted
zero shots in the fourth quarter
as the Celtics edged the Knicks
on Wednesday.
Coming off signing a $304 million,
five-year contract, the richest in NBA
history, Brown’s role has changed.
Along with Jayson Tatum he has to
emerge as one of the team leaders after
the trade of Marcus Smart to the Grizzlies.
Brown said he is ready for the leadership and sacrifice with the additions
of Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis.
He said he’s ready to be more vocal and
touched on other subjects in a sitdown
interview with the Globe.
“I’m comfortable being in that [leadership] role,” said Brown, now the senior member of the Celtics. “I think at
times I’ve wanted to be more in that
role, but we had a lot of cooks in the
kitchen so sometimes your voice is redundant. So this year, the guys are quieter. Even [Tatum] is not a loud voice.
Having him step up his voice a little bit.
Al [Horford] speaks when he needs to
speak but other than that everybody
else is kind of mild-mannered. It’s more
of a role for me to be able to step up and
talk without it being other voices.”
Tatum said this summer that he’s no
Kevin Garnett. He said he talks with
teammates when necessary and is a
strong voice in moments the media
doesn’t see. But he isn’t that confrontational voice that Garnett made famous.
Brown said he admires Garnett’s bravado and wants to approach that authority.
“I love Garnett,” Brown said. “I love
that energy and Garnett is one of my favorite Celtics of all time if not the favorite Celtic of all time for that mentality.
I’ve got a lot of that inside of me and
I’m trying to bring it out more. But that
energy that Garnett used to bring, get
in guys’ faces, talking to himself, clapping his hands, [expletives] think he’s
crazy.
“I’m crazy, too.”
Brown said he is committed to the
city of Boston, as evidenced by the signing of his contract and also his commitment to helping underrepresented
communities financially.
“I love war [on the basketball
court],” he said. “From Day One I said I
was going to go to war for this city and I
meant every word. Ups and downs.
Through surgeries. All types of stuff. I
put my heart and soul into this game
and especially when the game is on the
line, I’m always trying to do what’s
needed. I’m a warrior in a basketball
jersey.”
During the news conference to sign
his contract extension, Brown made the
bold declaration that he wanted to
spearhead a plan to help bridge the
wealth gap between white and minority
communities in Boston. It will be difficult but Brown said he’s optimistic
about the support he’s received.
“It’s going to great,” he said. “I have
plans of doing [investing], putting my
own personal capital into making Boston a better Boston. I’ve been here for
eight years. I’m a part of the community. Me, I’m solution-based. A lot of people think I try to bring up these issues
because I just want to stir the pot and
make trouble. But I put a lot of time
and effort into doing research to what’s
going on in our community, the lack of
opportunities and resources are where
the growth can take place, so trying to
come up with solutions that could be
better for everyone. Not just minority
communities, that could be better to
bridge it all.”
His 7uice Foundation devised the
Bridge Program, which teaches kids
from underrepresented communities
science, leadership, music, artificial intelligence, and digital currency.
“My favorite program is the Bridge
Program, and that’s trying to connect
two worlds, an example of how my
brain operates,” Brown said. “I’m solution-based, trying to bring up issues
just to start problems or create tension
within the community. Looking forward to the future, looking forward to
creating the solutions. I think Boston
has a lot of work to do, not to say there’s
not a lot of great people that are here,
but systemically there’s a lot of issues
that needs to be highlighted, be improved that nobody wants to talk
about.”
Brown appeared this past week at
the Boys & Girls Club of Roxbury to
dedicate a basketball court in the memory of Kobe and Gigi Bryant. Brown
said he embraces the opportunity to impact the community.
“I come from similar backgrounds
and communities they came from.” he
said. “I’m not different. I’ve had favor

The hits keep coming
The Grizzlies had a tumultuous offseason, losing Dillon Brooks in free agency, Ja Morant to a 25game suspension, and now center Steven Adams for the season because of knee surgery. While
Adams isn’t a prolific scorer, he does have a significant offensive impact. According to stathead.
com, only five players have averaged more offensive rebounds per game in their careers.

and blessings and a little bit of luck to
help me get to this position that I’m in.
I know for everybody it’s not going to be
the same, and if I wasn’t in this position, then where would I be? Going to a
public school, growing up in certain areas, certain zip codes, the resources, the
opportunities are different than growing up and going to a private school
where everything is already catered for
you to go to the next step and be a contributor to this society.
“Me being who I am, being an athlete and being a popularized athlete, it’s
important to let them know how hard it
is, how to navigate around some of the
barriers that are going to be placed, but
somebody out here is speaking for you
and still wants you to do well and they
believe in you, regardless of the situation or the outcome.”
Brown gushed about presenting the
Kobe and Gigi Bryant court, grateful for
the opportunity to honor one of his
sports heroes.
“Honestly, to be selected to be able
to honor Kobe and Gigi in Boston is the
best birthday present I’ve ever been selected with,” said Brown, who turned
27 on Tuesday. “Kobe, his mentality, the
Mamba, who he was, transcended
sports. When he passed, we all mourned because of the mentality he was and
what he represented. The work ethic,
focus, mentality, through adversity. He’s
the reason why I fell in love with the
game. Tracy McGrady was my favorite
player because of the skill, attributes,
length. But Kobe was my favorite athlete because of what he represented.
That’s the reason I feel in love with basketball.
“Never got to meet Kobe, never got
to shake his hand. To be able to honor
him, it’s a great feeling and extremely
humbled to be in that position. For me
to be able to honor Kobe in Boston, it
does so much for my own spirit. A lot of
that Mamba mentality lives in me.”

ETC.

Rivers offers
a new perspective
If you watched the Celtics’ opener,
you heard a familiar raspy voice on the
call for ESPN. Former Celtics coach Doc
Rivers is back in the broadcast booth a
few months after being fired by the
76ers. And NBA fans are better for it
because Rivers’s analysis and insight
will benefit viewers.
Rivers told the Globe earlier this
month that he has no idea if he wants
to coach again, but he has enjoyed vacationing without the concern of basketball and is beginning to receive his
long-deserved flowers. Rivers will be
honored at The Tradition on Nov. 29 at
TD Garden along with the likes of Kevin
Faulk, Dennis Eckersley, Briana Scurry,
and Bob Sweeney.
Rivers talked this past week about a
variety of league issues, including his

time in Philadelphia. The 76ers are essentially being blackmailed by James
Harden, who has demanded a trade and
did not play in the preseason and the
regular-season opener. Harden was indifferent about Rivers’s return as coach
and the two had a prickly relationship.
The 76ers represented themselves
well in their opening loss to the favored
Bucks.
Rivers said he tried to build a culture in Philadelphia after taking over
for Brett Brown.
“But really, my first year there, there
was really nothing [controversial],” Rivers said. “Then after that, every year
there was something. My second year
was the Ben Simmons situation. The
third year was James Harden coming to
his first camp and can that fit in. Now
it’s fourth year, I’m done, James Harden
and the team.
“Joel [Embiid] is pretty much an expert. Think about Joel before I got
there. He had the Jimmy Butler situation. I think Joel is pretty much used to
beginning-of-the-year turmoil, and Joel
has the ability to kind of tune that out
and almost use it as fuel. I think sometimes he wants to show that ‘I’m Joel
Embiid, and it doesn’t matter who’s
here; my team is going to win.’ He’s
kind of proven that overall, that if Joel
Embiid is on the team and healthy and
playing well, his team is going to win a
lot of games.”
Embiid won the MVP award after a
brilliant regular season but was slowed
in the playoffs by a knee injury and never registered that signature game in the
Eastern Conference semifinals against
the Celtics. He averaged 25.5 points on
just 42.2 percent shooting and was 4
for 20 from the 3-point line.
“The next question for Joel is the
playoffs,” Rivers said. “His numbers
have to come up in the playoffs. But the
first part about that, he has to be
healthy. The three years that I had him,
he was never healthy in the playoffs.
When your best player is not healthy,
it’s not good.
“At some point he needs to be
healthy in the playoffs and then he
needs to perform in the playoffs. That’s
going to be the key. Because if Joel plays
well, the Sixers are as big of a threat as
anyone else, because when he’s dominant, there’s nobody in the league that
can stop him. He’s just not been able to
be dominant in the playoffs yet, and
then with me, I always thought I have
to try to steal a win without having a
dominant Joel, and it obviously changes things a lot. But if Joel is healthy and
dominant, and Tyrese Maxey, they’re
tough, whether they have James or
not.”
Rivers believes the Nuggets, who
raced past the Lakers in their opener after receiving their championship rings,
are the favorites because of their experience and the duo of Nikola Jokic and
Jamal Murray.
“Winning, and I say this every year,
is hard. It just is. When you already

PATRIOTS at DOLPHINS WHEN: Sunday, 1 p.m. WHERE: Miami TV, RADIO: CBS, WBZ-FM (98.5) LINE: Dolphins by 9½

Was last week’s victory a mirage?
Chad Finn
THE UNCONVENTIONAL PREVIEW
A serious yet lighthearted, nostalgiatinted look at the Patriots’ weekly
matchup . . .
After the Patriots got clobbered
by the Cowboys and Saints by a combined score of 72-3 in Weeks 4 and
5, coach Bill Belichick acknowledged
that his mistake-plagued team needed to “start all over.”
A 21-17 loss to the Raiders in Week 6 suggested the
reset hadn’t worked. But then came an unexpected
29-25 victory over the Bills last Sunday in which the
Patriots still made mistakes, but overcame them in
part because so much that had gone wrong over the
course of the season — particularly offensive line and
quarterback play — suddenly went right.
Perhaps it was the “start all over” Belichick was
looking for, just delayed by a week.
We should find out for sure whether the Patriots’
return to competence was real or a mirage when they
travel to Miami to take on the high-powered Dolphins
Sunday.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who leads the NFL in
passing yards (2,092) and completion percentage
(71.2) and is tied for second in
touchdown passes (15), helms
an offense that already has
scored 240 points, including an
absurd 70 on the Broncos in
Week 3. But star receivers
Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle
are dealing with injuries, and
the Dolphins are coming off a lethargic 31-17 loss to the Eagles
last Sunday night. And they are
beginning to develop a reputation for bullying bad teams but
failing to match up with good
ones (in Week 4, the Bills throttled them, 48-20).
Where do the Patriots fall on
that spectrum? Good team?
That cannot be said with a 2-5

mately, they’ll probably end up
somewhere in the middle. But a win over the Dolphins would give them a 3-1 record in the division,
some momentum . . . and perhaps a convincing argument that the restart had the desired effect.
Kick it off, Ryland, and let’s get this one started . . .

Three players to watch
Tyreek Hill: For a suspenseful stretch of hours midweek, it looked as though the Patriots might catch a
break. The Dolphins’ star receiver missed practice on
Wednesday with a hip injury, and comments by Tagovailoa seemed to indicate that his top target could be
absent.
“You’ve got to continue to play and somewhere
down the line, we’re going to get Tyreek back in,” he
said.
So it was a mild surprise Thursday when Hill returned to practice, running routes at full speed and
telling reporters afterward, “Yeah, baby, I’m good,”
when asked about his status for Sunday.
Hill’s absence would have a massive impact on the
Dolphins’ top-ranked offense, which leads the league
in passing yards per game (300 on the nose), total offense (462.3), and points per game (34.3). The 29year-old Hill leads the NFL in receiving yards (902)
and touchdowns (7), and ranks third in receptions
(53). The Dolphins’ offense has the kind of speed usually reserved for the US Olympic track trials, but Hill
is the No. 1 option, the one who makes it all work.
The Patriots have done a decent job containing
Hill, who spent the first six seasons of his career with
the Chiefs before coming to the Dolphins before last
season. In seven regular-season games against the
Patriots, he’s averaged six receptions for 83 yards,
with approximately a touchdown per game. In the
Week 2 meeting, he was limited to five catches for just
40 yards and a score, with rookie Christian Gonzalez
doing superb work in coverage in his second career

With the Dolphins down early last week against the Eagles, Raheem Mostert logged a season-low nine carries.

game, including collecting the first interception of his
career on a pass aimed Hill’s way in the fourth quarter. With Gonzalez on injured reserve (shoulder), Hill
could become the responsibility of Jack Jones, Jonathan Jones (who has defended him well in the past),
and/or Myles Bryant.
Demario Douglas: Say, is it a step too far to suggest
that Douglas could be the second coming of Hill, a receiver overlooked in his draft year because of his size
but who makes up for it with his speed and shimmy?
No, of course it’s not a step too far. It’s about 20 steps
too far. Settle down over there. We’re not fitting anyone for a red jacket just yet.
That disclaimer out of the way, it is not difficult to
have high hopes for what Douglas, the sixth-round
pick out of Liberty, could become, perhaps soon. Kendrick Bourne is the Patriots’ most well-rounded receiver, but Douglas is already their most dynamic, and
he’s coming off the best game of his young career. In
the win over the Bills, Douglas had four catches for 54
yards (a career high), ran for another 20 yards, and returned a punt 25 yards.
That performance occurred after he had missed
the loss to the Raiders while in concussion protocol.
And it occurred five weeks after he was benched during the first Dolphins game when Bradley Chubb
punched the ball from his grasp and Miami recovered
the fumble at the end of a nifty catch-and-run on the
final play of the first quarter.
Douglas is still learning — he’s one receiver Mac
Jones doesn’t hesitate to bark at if he’s in the wrong
place — but he seems to have taken the benching to
heart. He’s got a chance for redemption against a Miami defense that expects to have cornerbacks Xavien
Howard and Jalen Ramsey on the field together for
the first time this season. Is Douglas the next Hill? It’s
way too soon for that. But he might be the shiftiest receiver Belichick has ever drafted. As he figures it out,
he’s going to become even more fun to watch.
Raheem Mostert: Here’s another reason it’s imperative for the Patriots to take an early lead for the second week in a row: It would help limit how much the
Dolphins can rely on their running game, which also
ranks first in the league (162.3 yards per game). The
Dolphins fell behind the Eagles, 17-3, in the second
quarter last week, and it was no coincidence that Mi-

ami had its worst rushing game of the season, with
just 45 yards on 12 attempts.
Mostert had nine of those attempts, a season low,
while gaining 45 yards. (Tagovailoa lost 3 yards on a
carry, while Salvon Ahmed gained 3 on two runs.) It
was quite a contrast to Mostert’s performance in Week
2 against the Patriots, when he ran for a season-best
121 yards on 18 carries and a pair of touchdowns, including a 43-yard burst in the third quarter that put
the Dolphins up, 24-10.
Mostert leads the NFL with nine rushing touchdowns, and his 474 yards are fifth — and only 18 fewer than the 492 combined rushing yards by Patriots
backs Rhamondre Stevenson and Ezekiel Elliott. Mostert may have a high degree of difficulty in getting
where he wants to go for the second straight week.
The Dolphins’ offensive line is banged up — left tackle
Terron Armstead, guard Isaiah Wynn (name sounds
vaguely familiar), and center Connor Williams missed
the Eagles game — while the Patriots’ defensive front
has solidified in recent weeks (100.7 rushing yards
per game, 13th in the NFL).

Grievance of the week
This is more a general gripe than something specific to this week, but I’ve been meaning to ask this.
When Belichick’s record for drafting wide receivers is
mentioned in a story or on a program, how come David Givens is rarely cited as one of his hits? It’s pretty
much canon that his only two draft success stories —
amid all of the Taylor Prices, Chad Jacksons, and
N’Keal Harrys — are Deion Branch in the second
round in 2002 and Kent State quarterback Julian
Edelman in the seventh round in 2009.
Givens was a seventh-round pick himself in ’02 out
of Notre Dame, with Ernie Adams advocating for him.
He was here just four seasons, never had 60 catches or
900 yards in a year, but he was tough, fought for every
yard, and owns one of the coolest records of the Patriots dynasty: Givens had a touchdown catch in seven
straight postseason games.
Patriots fans that have first-hand recollections of
Phase One of the dynasty will not forget him, even
though the national media apparently has. Here’s to
you, David Givens, postseason touchdown-maker and
outstanding draft choice.

The flashback

Miami’s Tyreek
Hill leads the
NFL in
receiving yards
(902) and
touchdowns (7),
and ranks third
in receptions
(53).

On Sept. 4, 1994, the Patriots opened their season
with a 39-35 loss to the Dolphins. It might have been
the most enjoyable and optimism-inducing loss in
Patriots history. Dan Marino, returning from torn a
Achilles’ that ended his 1993 season, let out all of his
pent-up frustration of his absence on the Patriots,
throwing for 473 yards and five touchdowns, including three to ex-Patriot Irving Fryar. But Patriots second-year quarterback Drew Bledsoe matched him
dart for dart, slinging 51 passes and completing 32 for
421 yards, 4 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions. The
Patriots faltered at the end — Ben Coates committed a
rare fumble to thwart one late drive, and a final possession stalled out — but the vibe after that game and
Bledsoe’s performance was one of delight and great
hope. Robert Kraft couldn’t have had a more entertaining game for his first as Patriots owner.

Prediction
The Patriots did so much wrong in their 24-17 loss
to the Dolphins in Week 2, including making Dolphins edge rusher Andrew Van Ginkel look like the
second coming of Jason Taylor. But the Patriots did
hold the Dolphins to 7 points in the second half, and if
the shift of Mike Onwenu to right tackle permanently
shores up the line while fully restoring Mac Jones’s
confidence, the Patriots are capable of making it two
in a row. It’s always tough to win in Miami. But it feels
good, even if it ends up being fleeting, to have some
faith in the Patriots again. Patriots 22, Dolphins 20.

STATISTICS

Uche, Lowe downgraded to out
By Christopher Price
GLOBE STAFF

MIAMI — Patriots linebacker
Josh Uche and offensive tackle
Vederian Lowe on Saturday
were downgraded to out for
Sunday afternoon’s game
against the Dolphins in Miami.
Uche, who has been dogged
by foot and ankle issues, missed
last week’s win over the Bills
with a foot injury. The 25-yearold has two sacks this season.
Uche, who is in the last year of
his rookie deal, remains the subject of trade rumors ahead of
Tuesday’s deadline.
In Uche’s absence, it’s likely
that Anfernee Jennings and Deatrich Wise will be asked to do
more when it comes to generating a pass rush.
Over the last few games,
Lowe has served as the primary
backup at both tackle spots. The
24-year-old, in his first season
with the Patriots, has played in
six games, with five starts. He
was listed on this week’s injury
report with an ankle issue, and
was limited in practice Thursday
and Friday.
Not that it should come as
much of a surprise given his performance last week, but Lowe’s
absence likely means that Mike

Onwenu will return to the starting right tackle position for the
second consecutive week.
Uche and Lowe joined an inactives list that already included
tackle Calvin Anderson, who
was ruled out with an illness following Friday’s practice.

status. “He’s back and he’s been
out there. He’s worked hard.
He’s a smart guy, came in and
picked things up well last year.
So, yeah, he’s coming along.”
McDermott will likely serve
as the primary backup tackle
Sunday.

McDermott elevated

Boutte near bottom

The Patriots elevated offensive tackle Conor McDermott to
the active roster from the practice squad for Sunday’s game.
The 31-year-old McDermott,
who is in his second stint with
New England, was signed to the
practice squad Oct. 17.
McDermott has had an interesting couple of seasons. He
started six games at right tackle
for the Patriots last season, and
was expected to be part of the
conversation at right tackle this
year. But he struggled in the preseason and was passed on the
depth chart by rookie Sidy Sow.
McDermott was eventually
waived with an injury settlement before he returned to New
England this month.
“I wish he would have been
here, but he wasn’t. We had the
injury settlement,” coach Bill
Belichick said Friday when he
was asked about McDermott’s

While several members of
the Patriots’ rookie class have
distinguished themselves
through the first seven games,
one who is on the outside looking in is receiver Kayshon
Boutte.
Boutte played 55 snaps in the
opener against the Eagles, and
didn’t catch a pass on four targets. He’s been inactive since,
taking mostly healthy scratches
while sixth-round pick Demario
Douglas has become an important part of the passing game.
On Friday, Belichick gave a
candid assessment of the 5-foot11-inch, 195-pound Boutte, saying the sixth-round pick is facing a “competitive situation”
when it comes to playing time.
“I feel like we have a lot of
competition at that position,”
Belichick said. “Everybody’s in
it. The guys who perform the
best play the most, the guys who

don’t need to perform better.”
Douglas and Tyquan Thornton, as well as veterans JuJu
Smith-Schuster, DeVante Parker, and Kendrick Bourne, remain ahead of Boutte on the
depth chart.
“They’re all competing,”
Belichick said. “We have a number of players that I think are all
— again, it’s very competitive.”

Barmore fined
The NFL announced that Patriots defensive lineman Christian Barmore was fined $12,913
for “hitting the quarterback” in
last Sunday’s win over the Bills
. . . While the Patriots added McDermott and downgraded Anderson, Lowe, and Uche, the
Dolphins also made moves Saturday, activating cornerback
Jalen Ramsey off injured reserve. Ramsey appears to be
ready to make his 2023 debut,
just three months after surgery
on his left knee. “Obviously, [he’s
a] very talented player,”
Belichick said Friday. when he
was asked about the possibility
of Ramsey playing.

DEFENSE

BARRY CHIN/GLOBE STAFF

Kendrick Bourne, whose name also was floated last year around the trade deadline, could garner interest from other teams.

Guessing game at the trade deadline
uPATRIOTS

Continued from Page C1

“Matt’s office is, like, 30 feet
away,” he said. “If we need to see
each other, we’ll see each other.
If something comes up.”
It’s predictable that the trade
deadline wouldn’t trigger a flow
of information from the typically
tight-lipped Belichick. So, how
might the Patriots proceed?
If the team is looking to ship
talent out, players on expiring
contracts would make sense —
especially if the Patriots do not
anticipate re-signing them. Options in this category include
wide receiver Kendrick Bourne,
offensive tackle Trent Brown,
safety Kyle Dugger, tight ends
Hunter Henry and Mike Gesicki,
offensive lineman Mike Onwenu, and linebacker Josh Uche.
All would conceivably boost a
contender.
The problem with such players, however, is that other teams
may not be willing to part with
significant draft capital for a
short-term rental. The other
complication is that, should the
player end up departing during
free agency, the Patriots could
receive a compensatory draft
pick better than one they would
receive in a trade.
What further complicates the
situation this year is that the Patriots are expected to rank near

the top of the league in salarycap space in the offseason. As a
result, the Patriots would be less
likely to receive significant compensatory picks if they make
enough premium signings. In
that case, the team would be better off trying to secure draft capital now.
Belichick acknowledged that
the compensatory-pick formula,
which is undisclosed, has relevance at this time of year.
Asked if the state of ongoing
contract negotiations with certain players would influence the
Patriots’ actions at the deadline,
Belichick didn’t get into specifics.
“I think there are a lot of factors involved with players, contracts, and everything else,” he
said. “Everyone’s different, so I
don’t think there’s any specific
rule.”
There are a number of considerations for Belichick and
Groh to weigh, with the Patriots
approaching an apparent crossroads.
Is winning the end-all, be-all?
Then the team likely will want to
keep its most productive contributors, even for just the remainder of the year. Is the hope
to draft one of the high-profile
quarterbacks in 2024? Then the
Patriots may want to gather
more picks to help them move

up the draft board. Twenty quarterbacks have gone in the top 10
over the past decade, with nine
getting selected by picks that
were acquired via trades.
Perhaps the result of Sunday’s game will affect their decisions.
Teams that started 2-6 have
advanced to the postseason only
three times since 1970, while
teams that started 3-5 have done
so 26 times. Although the playoffs would be a lofty goal regardless, a win at Miami would indicate the Patriots are trending in
the right direction after an abysmal start.
If the Patriots were to trade
for talent, offensive line remains
their biggest position of need.
They could also use depth at
linebacker.
One position to watch regardless of New England’s record is wide receiver. After permanently promoting Jalen
Reagor from the practice squad,
the Patriots have seven wideouts
on the 53-man roster. Keeping
that many moving for ward
would be atypical.
The two receivers that would
make the most sense to move on
from — DeVante Parker and JuJu Smith-Schuster — have the
least trade value and are under
contract through the 2025 season. The Patriots have shown

they’re not afraid to cut their
losses, trading tight end Jonnu
Smith for a seventh-round pick
after signing him to a four-year,
$50 million contract, but seven
or eight games into SmithSchuster’s three-year deal would
be early for a drastic move, even
given his substandard production.
Tyquan Thornton might be a
more realistic candidate, as the
2022 second-round pick is still
on his rookie contract. Bourne,
whose name was also floated last
year around the trade deadline,
is another possibility, despite
leading the team in targets and
receiving yards.
“I want to be here,” Bourne
said this past week. “I’d love to
be here. But if there are other
plans, it is what it is. I’m just focused on every day, what I got to
do, and the task at hand. I think
I’m in a good place. Whatever
happens, happens.”
Belichick will speak Sunday
after the game and then again
Monday morning. It’s unlikely
he’ll provide any additional information ahead of the trade
deadline, but how the Patriots
proceed on Tuesday certainly
bears watching.

Something is off between Browns and Watson
Ben Volin

B

rowns coach Kevin Stefanski was noticeably cagey on
Wednesday when asked
about the right rotator cuff
injury to quarterback Deshaun Watson, which was suffered in
Week 3 and is keeping him out of Sunday’s game at Seattle.
If this is a 4-6-week injury as described now, why wasn’t he placed on
injured reserve?
“We make decisions based on the information that you have every day,” Stefanski said.
Is Watson currently in Week 5 of a 46-week injury?
“I’m really just focused on this
week,” Stefanski said.
Was the injury originally misdiagnosed?
“Every injury, you take in information every single day. So, in that way,
you’re day to day,” Stefanski said.
The run-around was telling. Something is clearly off between Watson and
the Browns, now in Year 2 of a five-year,
fully guaranteed $230 million deal that
is unprecedented.
The team initially said Watson
would be back in the lineup several
weeks ago. Instead, he will miss what
amounts to his fourth game in a row on
Sunday, and he didn’t throw a football
in practice this past week.
Watson has been widely accused,
most vocally by former Browns quarterback Brady Quinn, of not playing
through the injury because of his guaranteed contract. A related criticism is
that Watson has already soured on the
Browns and wants out of Cleveland.
But that’s only one potential explanation. It’s also possible that the
Browns did Watson a disservice by not
being more transparent about his injury early on, creating unfair expectations
for Watson.
And it’s possible that there has been
terrible communication and/or cooperation between Watson, the team doctors, and the coaches.
Whatever the answer, it’s not a good
reflection on the Browns, who are 4-2
but have mismanaged Watson’s injury
and the quarterback position in general.
Watson and the Browns didn’t seem
too concerned when he injured his
right shoulder in a Sept. 24 win over
the Titans, Watson’s best game of the
season — 27 for 33 for 289 yards and 2
TDs. The Browns didn’t put Watson on
injured reserve, and they seemed confident he would be able to play in Week
4.
The first sign of trouble came that
next Sunday, when Watson surprisingly
decided not to play against the Ravens
following a pregame workout.
Still, Browns general manager Andrew Berry said during the Week 5 bye
there was no need to put Watson on IR
because they didn’t believe the injury
would linger. The Browns didn’t sign
P.J. Walker from the practice squad to
the active roster or add another quarterback.
But the bye week did Watson no
good. Watson missed the Week 6 win
over the 49ers. He tried to play last
Sunday against the Colts, ramping up
his practice participation throughout
the week to a full practice on Friday, but
lasted just 12 snaps before taking a hit
to his right shoulder and being pulled
in the first quarter.
This past week, the Browns sat Watson completely, telling him not to throw
and focus only on rehab. They have declined to put a timetable on his return.
“He’s a thrower, and when you can’t
throw at 100 percent, then it’s tough to
go out and play,” offensive coordinator
Alex Van Pelt said. “I know he’s trying
to do everything he can to get back on
the field with his teammates, and he
showed that last week. He came out
and fought through, got back, had some
practice time late in the week, and tried
to be out there on Sunday. I know he’s
frustrated. It’s just part of the deal.”
Watson on Wednesday defended
himself against accusations that he’s
not trying to play through pain because
of his contract, or that his relationship
with the Browns has soured, calling it
“[expletive].”
“I just worked my [butt] off for two
years to get back to playing, so why
wouldn’t I want to play?” Watson said.
“I’m fine. I’m happy. I’m not happy with
the injury, but I’m in a great space mentally. I’m in a great space spiritually.
Physically, everything else is in a great
space except my shoulder. So we’re
working hard to get that back.”
Even if Watson and the Browns are
on the same page, the partnership has
been a disaster. Watson, 28, was supposed to be the franchise savior when
the Browns traded three first-round
picks for him and gave him $230 mil-

The Good and The Bad
The Colts are without dynamic rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson for the rest of the season but have the
capable Gardner Minshew as the backup. Minshew’s performance last week was a mixed bag as he accounted for
four touchdowns (two passing) but also fumbled three times. According to stathead.com, Minshew is one of four
players to score two touchdowns while also fumbling three times in a game.

On the surface, a turf war

A lot has been made in these parts
about the Patriots only getting a 2025
seventh-round pick from the Titans for
kicker Nick Folk, who has been automatic (16 for 16). But the Chargers did
the same, getting a 2025 seventhrounder from the Browns at the end of
training camp for kicker Dustin Hopkins, who lost the job to Cameron Dicker. Hopkins has been unbelievable for
the Browns, hitting on 16 of 18 field
goals, including an NFL-best 7 of 7
from 50-plus yards. Hopkins has connected on at least one 50-yarder in five
straight games, and in last week’s 39-38
win over the Colts, he hit field goals of
54, 54, and 58 yards. Hopkins has been

this past week
by stating that
Justin Fields will be the team’s starting
quarterback whenever he is able to return from a dislocated thumb on his
throwing hand. It would be admirable
to return Fields to the lineup, because
the Bears certainly have the incentive to
bench him and play for the No. 1 pick
and the right to draft another quarterback. But it may be tough to turn back
to Fields if the Bears get another good
game Sunday out of undrafted rookie
Tyson Bagent, who seems to be winning over fans and teammates with his
attitude and underdog story. Bagent’s
father, Travis Bagent, claims to have
won 25 national titles and 13 world titles in arm wrestling . . . The PanthersTexans game on Sunday may not have
too many viewers, but it will mark the
first time in NFL history that the top
three picks from that year’s draft will
appear in a game together — Panthers
quarterback Bryce Young against Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud and defensive end Will Anderson. Young and
Stroud never played each other in college, but faced each other in eighth
grade when Young was on the Pomona
Steelers and Stroud the Inland Empire

become the seventh rookie quarterback
to start a game this season in the first
eight weeks, joining Young, Stroud, Anthony Richardson, Aidan O’Connell,

Lawrence Taylor and T.J. Watt . . . Patrick Mahomes is 12-0 against the Broncos entering Sunday’s game in Denver.
It’s reminiscent of Tom Brady’s dominance over the Bills, which included a
17-1 record between 2001-10 and 33-3
overall . . . The Jaguars have a leaguehigh 16 takeaways in seven games, for a
pace of 39. The last two teams to force
that many turnovers in a season made

and 2013 Seahawks.

lion in 2022.
But thanks to suspension and injury,
Watson has played in just 10 games in
two seasons, with little production: A
6-4 record, 179 passing yards per game,
59.6 completion percentage, 11 touchdowns, 8 interceptions, and a 79.8
passer rating that ranks 36th out of 39
quarterbacks.
That replacement-level production
already has cost the Browns $63.3 million, and will be up to $92 million by
the end of this season. Last year, Jacoby
Brissett put up similar numbers in 11
games and cost the Browns $4.65 million.
This year, the Browns have won
both games with Walker, making the
veteran minimum $1.01 million.
Watson isn’t the only quarterback
asset the Browns are bungling. They finally signed Walker to the active roster
on Tuesday after leaving him unprotected on the practice squad and using his
three game-day elevations. They are
lucky no team poached Walker off their
practice squad the last four weeks,
which would have left the Browns with
just rookie fifth-round pick Dorian
Thompson-Robinson, who looked overmatched in his surprise start in Week 4,
a 28-3 loss to the Ravens. The Browns
also traded Josh Dobbs in late August
to the Cardinals, where he has played
surprisingly well as Kyler Murray’s fillin.
Watson said he won’t return to the
lineup until he, the coaches, and the
doctors “feel very comfortable that I
can go out there and be the quarterback
people saw against Tennessee” in Week
3.
“It could be tomorrow, it could be
next week. I don’t know,” Watson said.
Whether Watson and the Browns
are on the same page, his throwing
shoulder has become a $230 million
headache.

QUICK TURNAROUND

49ers’ Purdy
cleared to play
49ers quarterback Brock Purdy was
a surprise addition to the injury report
on Wednesday when it was revealed
that he was in the concussion protocol.
Purdy had finished Monday’s loss to the
Vikings but started feeling symptoms

on the flight home, coach Kyle Shanahan said. The concussion appeared to
come on a quarterback sneak late in the
game.
Though the 49ers had a short week
to prepare for Sunday’s game against
the Bengals, Shanahan expressed optimism that Purdy could pass through
the concussion protocol and play, and
indeed he was cleared on Saturday.
Purdy was able to participate in a walkthrough on Wednesday, then limited
was in Thursday’s practice and a full
participant on Friday.
Assuming the 49ers have been adhering to the concussion protocol,
Purdy’s quick return makes him one of
the lucky ones. In 2023, concussions
have mostly been a multi-week injury.
Based on an analysis of NFL weekly
practice reports, 50 players were diagnosed with concussions through the
first eight weeks, and Purdy is one of
eight to get back on the field without
missing a game. Of the remaining 42
players, 41 missed at least one game,
and Dolphins safety Jevon Holland is
questionable for Sunday against the Patriots.

ETC.

Jets not happy
to be grounded
Suffice to say, nothing about the season has gone according to plan for the
Jets. Though they are pleasantly surprised to be 3-3 and trending upward
despite losing Aaron Rodgers for the
season, not all is well in Jet-land.
A couple of pricey veterans, running
back Dalvin Cook and linebacker Carl
Lawson, aren’t happy to be buried on
the depth chart.
Cook, signed for one year and $7
million this training camp, has just 155
scrimmage yards and no touchdowns
while playing a clear second fiddle to
Breece Hall, who has 539 total yards
and two scores. Cook has played just 20
snaps in recent wins over the Broncos
and Eagles, and he sounds like he
wouldn’t mind being traded before
Tuesday’s deadline.
“Of course it’s frustrating,” Cook said
via ESPN. “I come from getting the ball
20 times a game.”
Lawson, playing out the last year of
a three-year, $45 million contract, has

safety reasons, a few natural grass surfaces have caused players to gripe the
last couple of years.
One is at State Farm Stadium in Arizona, where the surface is always slippery and was like an ice rink for last
February’s Super Bowl. A similar situation played out in last year’s inaugural
game in Germany, with Buccaneers and
Seahawks players complaining about
the slickness of the grass field in Munich.
This year’s two Germany games, set
for the next two weeks at Deutsche
Bank Park in Frankfurt, will instead use
a hybrid playing surface, in which natural grass is fortified with synthetic fibers.
“We continue to review the best surfaces for teams to play on and work
with our stadium partners — both before and after events,” the NFL said in a
statement. “In Frankfurt, the hybrid
product will also allow for reduced
wear to the playing surface ensuring
quality for back-to-back games.”
Hybrid surfaces are common in European soccer stadiums. Green Bay’s
Lambeau Field is the only NFL stadium
that uses a hybrid surface, and players
routinely rave about its quality. Coincidentally (or not), the Packers are the
only franchise without a traditional
owner and often put fan and player
needs ahead of profits.

just three tackles in four games while
playing 24 percent of the snaps. He had
seven sacks last year after missing 2021
with a torn Achilles’.
“I definitely want to play and contribute because I know I can,” Lawson
said. “But right now I’m with the Jets.”

Playing the blame game
It was an interesting week of fingerpointing. In San Francisco, Kyle Shanahan pointed the blame squarely at defensive coordinator Steve Wilks for
calling a seven-man blitz at the end of
the first half of Monday’s loss to the Vikings. Charvarius Ward missed the interception, and no one was back deep
to tackle Jordan Addison on a 60-yard
touchdown with seven seconds left that
proved to be the deciding points.
“He knows he messed up on that
call,” Shanahan said of Wilks. “If you
need to get 20 yards to kick a field goal,
I have no problem with a zero blitz. But
I do when there’s 16 seconds left. That’s
where he lost track. There was no necessary need for that just because of the
time.”
Wilks, tail firmly tucked between his
legs, opened his Thursday news conference with a mea culpa.
“I take full responsibility for that
call,” he said. “I wish I could take it
back, but again, I’ve got to do better.”
While Wilks may have been the one
to make the call, Shanahan is still the
head coach and can override his assistants. It’s poor form for Shanahan not
to take responsibility, and ultimately
the touchdown is his fault, as he didn’t
do anything to stop it.
Saints quarterback Derek Carr also
thinks people are making too much of
his outbursts at his teammates in the
Oct. 19 loss to the Jaguars.
“I didn’t even cuss nobody out, and
everyone thinks that everyone is mad at
each other. So times are definitely
changing,” Carr said.
It’s not the yelling, it’s that getting
upset at teammates when they make
mistakes is bad leadership from the
starting quarterback. In fact, it’s a terrible way for a quarterback who just
came to the team last offseason to win
over his new teammates.

Red Sox. Within a year, the Cubs
turned over their entire minor
league pitching operation to
Breslow. When Epstein left the
Cubs after the 2020 season, Jed
Hoyer took over and made
Breslow assistant general manager.
Today Epstein is an MLB consultant, largely responsible for the
pitch clock that rescued baseball
in 2023, but he still has the ear of
Red Sox CEO Sam Kennedy, who
was in charge of the “robus t
search” for a new baseball boss.
Epstein and Kennedy were
baseball teammates at Brookline
High School and started their
front office careers together in the
1990s, working for Larry Lucchino’s San Diego Padres.
When Lucchino came to Boston as part of Henry’s new ownership group in 2002, he negotiated
with Padres owner John Moores to
bring the duo to Boston. “Free the
Brookline 2” was a jovial chant
around the Sox offices when Lucchino was attempting to liberate
Epstein and Kennedy from San
Diego.
Fast-forward 21 years, and you
can be darned sure Kennedy talked to Theo to get the thumbs-up
on Breslow.
With Breslow on board, Sox
fans can expect a chief baseball officer who is curious, fearless, and
wildly intellectual. A World Series
champion, known to be a great
teammate, Breslow will have the
attention of the players, unlike
most analytic gurus. He also will
be an intellectual match for Henry, who loves numbers, problem
solving, and late-night email exchanges.
“He does relate well to players,”
said one of Breslow’s advocates, a
longtime MLB employee. “He’s a
5-10 Jewish kid who played 12
years in the big leagues because he
knows how to get the best out of
himself and rise to the occasion.
He was a very well-liked teammate everywhere.”
In a perfect world, Breslow
would come to Boston under a veteran baseball boss.
But this is not a perfect world.
Breslow will have to learn on the
job and hopefully will be empowered to spend some of Henry’s
money.
Epstein is careful not to insert
himself into Sox business. His official, canned statement on
Breslow: “Craig is one of the most
impressive and impactful baseball
people I’ve ever met. He combines
a powerful intellect and deep
pitching expertise with a real understanding of players and fearless approach to problem solving.
With his mind, work ethic, and
character, there is no limit to what
he can accomplish in this game.”
Swell. But it’s far more than
that. Epstein, who won two World

Series here, then another title with
the Cubs, believes that the inexperienced Breslow is the solution for
all that plagues the Red Sox in
2023.
It’s not going to be easy, and it
could blow up if ownership’s post2018 model of making money
while driving down payroll
trumps all. But if the Sox allow
Breslow to spend while he rebuilds, this could be Theo 2.0. And
that would be a good thing for a
franchise that has lost its way in
recent seasons.
R Quiz: Dusty Baker failed in
his effort to become the fifth manager since 1960 to lead his team to
three consecutive World Series appearances. Name the four he was
attempting to join (answer below).
R Purists are excited about a Diamondbacks-Rangers World Series. Not me. It’s bad for baseball.
The ratings will be abysmal, and
when the World Series is over, the
narrative will pivot back to “the
dying sport of baseball.”
There’s something wrong with
a playoff system that bounces
three 100-win teams before the
start of the championship series,
then produces an 84-win team
that was outscored during the regular season as a World Series
team.
Know what else an 84-win
team in the World Series does? It
emboldens a team like the Red Sox
that decided in 2019 that payroll
flexibility and player-contract control were more important than
having stars and winning championships.
Since 2019, the Red Sox have
presented a product that has an illusion of contention. Even when
it’s a really bad team like the 2023
Red Sox. They drop from first to
13th in player payroll, go through
the summer with a goal of 84
wins, and trick fans into thinking
they have a chance. “Look at the DBacks. They won only six more
games than us and they’re in the
World Series.”
This would promote the notion
that it’s better to be like Arizona
(23rd in payroll) than the dopey

cheating scandal?
Houston players were never

loose.
R Craig Kimbrel seems to be a
nice guy. He ranks eighth in career
regular-season saves (417), perhaps the all-time phony baseball

statistic. Kimbrel’s total would
make one believe he is great at
closing out tight ballgames. Unfortunately, that is a myth.
Kimbrel is a monument to the
clean-inning save with a three-run
lead in the top of the ninth against
a bad lineup. Under those conditions, nobody was ever better. But
when the game is on the line, few
have been worse.
Stat guru Bill Chuck says,
“Since 2016, Kimbrel has appeared in 24 postseason games,
totaling 23‚ innings, allowing 22
hits, 17 walks, with an ERA of
5.44, allowing an OPS of .848.”
R Newton native Veronica Burton, daughter of WBZ’s Steve Burton and a two-year guard for the

R The WNBA craves media attention and gets an inordinate
amount from its partner, ESPN,
and the New York Times, which
no longer has a sports department. In this spirit, it’s tough to
understand why members of the
New York Liberty (Sabrina Ionescu, Jonquel Jones, and Betnijah
Laney) stiffed the media after losing the Finals to the Las Vegas Aces.

End of ‘Toucher and Rich’ would be shame
Chad Finn
SPORTS MEDIA
The “Toucher and Rich” program operated as business
as usual Thursday, the
morning after 98.5 The
Sports Hub announced that
Fred Toucher had signed a
contract extension in a 205word press release that never once mentioned co-host
Rich Shertenlieb or referenced the show by
name.
The radio silence for four hours on the status and future of the program was not a total
surprise.
While Toucher and Shertenlieb, who have
worked together to massive success in the
Boston market since arriving from Atlanta in
2006, have often discussed personal matters
on the air, the current situation has brought
about a different kind of tension that has the
future of the ratings-dominating program
hanging in the balance.
In the past, Toucher and Shertenlieb have
negotiated their contracts in unison. That was
not the case this time. Both deals were due to
expire at the end of the year, but now Toucher
— who was cited in the press release as “a
foundational member of the launch of the station,” with his “tenure” being mentioned without reference to his co-host throughout the
entire time — has a deal.
Shertenlieb does not, and while he has not
responded to requests for comment, he has
made cryptic, unexplained moves, including
changing “Toucher and Rich” accounts on social media channels to his own name. His decision to do that has frustrated management
at The Sports Hub and parent company Beasley Media.
Toucher and Shertenlieb’s disagreements
over the past year — many stemming from
Toucher’s health and personal issues — are

well documented and require no rehash here
for a second time this past week.
The bottom line is that they are distinctly
skilled talents who bring out the best in each
other.
It would be a shame for their program,
which deploys humor better than any other
sports show in the market and is one of the
rare few that doesn’t intentionally agitate its
audience, to come to an end.
Perhaps everyone involved will recognize
that before the end of the year. But right now,
it sure feels like the ending has already been
decided.

One more from Gorman
Wrote about the advent of Mike Gorman’s
42nd and final season on Celtics broadcasts in
this space last week, but managed to do so
without sharing one story about his longtime
broadcast partner and friend, Tommy Heinsohn. So let’s rectify that.
“The best thing that’s happened in my career is getting to work with Tommy,” said Gorman, who proceeded to explain how they got
paired together.
Gorman was working as a sports anchor at
WPRI and the channel had recently added
some Providence College basketball games.
Gorman was set to handle the play by play,
but the first broadcast was coming up against
Holy Cross and he didn’t have an analyst.
“I said to my boss, ‘Why don’t we get Tommy Heinsohn?’ ” said Gorman. “This is the
beauty of the old days. I called the general
Boston Garden number and a woman answers the phone and she goes, ‘Boston Garden, Boston Celtics, can I help you?’ I said,
‘Yep, Tom Heinsohn, please.’ She said, ‘One
moment.’ Tom picked up, we agreed to meet
somewhere in Walpole, and over the course of
dinner he sold me an insurance policy and
agreed to call the Providence games.”
When PRISM — one of a few forefathers to
NBC Sports Boston — launched before the
1981-82 season, Heinsohn was one of the ca-

ble channel’s first hires. “A bunch of people
from the Boston marketplace all were kind of
hoping they’d be picked for the play-by-play
job,” said Gorman. “Tommy had a meeting
about the options. I was told by someone that
he said, ‘I work with this guy down in Rhode
Island. He’s good. You gotta give him a shot.’
That’s how it began.”
During the broadcast of the Celtics opener
Wednesday and in conversation, Gorman has
reminisced about his time calling Big East
games during the conference’s heyday for ESPN. His frequent analyst was the affable Bill
Raftery, who also had his own connection to
Heinsohn.
“Raf had broken most of Tommy’s scoring
records in New Jersey high school ball,” said
Gorman with a laugh. “So they still existed as
far as Tom was concerned.”

Castiglione again a finalist
Joe Castiglione, the radio play-by-play
voice of the Red Sox since 1983, is one of 10 finalists for the Baseball Hall of Fame’s Ford C.
Frick Award for broadcasting excellence. Castiglione has been a finalist three previous
times (2010, ’14, ’23), with this counting as a
2024 nomination since the induction ceremony is in the summer.
If Castiglione is not the selection,he should
have an opportunity again in 2025 and ’26.
The Hall of Fame determines the Frick Award
winner in cycles of eligibility.
This is the second of four consecutive years
in which the winner is chosen from a composite ballot of national and local broadcasters
whose careers extended into or began after
the start of the wild-card era in 1994.
In 2027, broadcasters whose careers concluded before the wild-card era will be considered, which would be an excellent time to finally honor Ned Martin.

Back’s two TDs help
win streak hit four
By Trevor Hass
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

BC
21 In the week leading up to
Boston College’s rematch
UConn 14 with Connecticut, the
Eagles acknowledged, in unison, that
this one was personal.
With last year’s embarrassing loss
still on his players’ minds, BC coach
Jeff Hafley didn’t need motivational
pep talks. Offensive lineman Ozzy
Trapilo acknowledged there’s been a
“sour taste” ever since.
Linebacker Vinny DePalma said
Saturday’s showdown was as important a game as the program has had in
recent memory. The Eagles waited patiently for a shot at revenge.
BC squeaked out a 21-14 win at
Alumni Stadium, but it didn’t fully
yield the gratifying sense of redemption the Eagles coveted.
It was a necessary and significant
victory — the Eagles’ fourth straight —
but it didn’t come easily. BC looked flat
in stretches, like it did last year, but
this time it did enough to prevail.
The Eagles (5-3) fell behind early,
scored 21 straight points to take a double-digit lead, then the Huskies (1-7)
nearly rallied before BC found a way
late.
“We kept UConn in the game. It’s as
easy as that,” Hafley said. “We made
the game way closer than it should
have been. Ultimately, we won the
game, which is what we should do
when we play UConn. I say that with
no disrespect, but when we play them,
that’s the expectation.”
In last year’s matchup, the Eagles
committed five turnovers and totaled
76 net rushing yards. They coughed it
up twice Saturday, but rushed for 246
yards, which made the difference. Kye
Robichaux totaled 23 carries for 112
yards and two touchdowns.
BC dominated nearly every statistical category, posting a 30-10 edge in

elude the outstretched arms of UConn’s Malcolm Bell in the first half.

first downs, an 83-43 advantage in
plays, a 433-222 cushion in yards, and
a 40:14-19:16 margin in time of possession.
“You’d think we would have won
the game by 28 points, which we
didn’t,” Hafley said. “We have stuff to
clean up.”
On BC’s opening drive, quarterback
Thomas Castellanos converted on
fourth and 1, but he fumbled near midfield moments later.
UConn capitalized with a nine-play,
51-yard march, capped by a 1-yard run
from Jelani Stafford to take a 7-0 edge.
The Eagles, who entered with an Atlantic Coast Conference-best 72.7 percent success rate on fourth down, kept
their next drive afloat, as well. This
time, BC finished what it started, as
Robichaux accelerated into the end

zone from 5 yards out with nine seconds on the clock.
BC took a 14-7 advantage on a 6yard TD pass from Castellanos (16 for
24, 151 yards, TD, interception; 14 carries, 45 yards) to Alex Broome.
BC legend Doug Flutie threw Hail
Mary passes to fans in the stands. “Mr.
Brightside” bumped from the speakers.
Vibes were flowing at Alumni Stadium.
“Once you see a legend like that on
the field, coming back and showing
love to his old school, you use it as motivation to do the same thing,” Robichaux said of Flutie. “Why not play to
the best of your ability? Why not have
it be you to go do something great?”
The Eagles had a chance to extend
the margin late in the half, but Castellanos threw an interception in the final
seconds. Hafley called it an “inexcus-

able” play but said Castellanos will
learn from it and credited him for responding.
BC entered halftime up, 14-7. The
Eagles totaled 225 net yards, compared
with 77 for UConn, yet it was a onepossession game.
Emmett Morehead replaced an injured Castellanos to start the third
quarter, as Castellanos threw on the
sideline with a wrap on his left leg. Castellanos returned on the next drive and
found Jaedn Skeete for 16 yards and
Charlie Gordinier for 30 to set up a 13yard TD run from Robichaux with 40
seconds left in the third.
Skeete, a promising freshman out of
Catholic Memorial who had no receptions coming in, broke out with four
catches for 61 yards.
“I’m glad he got his moment,” Hafley said. “I think he has some of the
best hands on this team. He’s got good
length, he can accelerate. I think he’s
got a chance to be a really special player.”
Robichaux, who has back-to-back
100-plus-yard games, has established
himself as the feature back. His physical, downhill running style meshes
well with Castellanos’s shiftiness, as
defenses have to prepare for both, plus
the pass.
The Huskies answered, as Cam
Roberts took it 30 yards to slice the deficit to 21-14 with 13:51 left. BC’s next
drive stalled, as did UConn’s, then Castellanos picked up a key conversion on
fourth and 5, Broome added one more
first down, and Castellanos took a knee
to preserve the win.
The Eagles, riding their first fourgame streak since early 2021, have a
chance to make it five for the first time
since 2010 when they face Syracuse on
Friday.
“You’re happy to win any game,” DePalma said. “Are we satisfied with how
we played? No. We know we have to get
better.”

check moment for the Harvard offense.
Stymied by Dartmouth at every point
and with second-string quarterback
Jaden Craig under center, the Crimson
produced their best drive of the day.
Craig’s 3-yard touchdown plunge
represented the winning score in a 17-9
victory for the Crimson at Harvard Stadium in front of 22,515. The No. 23
Crimson (6-1, 4-1 Ivy) defeated the Big
Green (3-4, 3-2) in a win that keeps the
Crimson in the Ivy League title race.
With the victory, Harvard coach Tim
Murphy, in his 30th season, has the
most wins in Ivy League play with 136.
“Our game was not a masterpiece,
but we’re not giving it back,” said Murphy. “It was one of those old fashioned,
very gritty [games] — run the football,
stop the run, get off the field. In any program, we say it all the time: It all starts
with defense.”
After Dartmouth pulled within 7-6
on Owen Zalc’s 47-yard field goal, the
Crimson launched an 11-play, 75-yard
drive capped by Craig’s second score.
Shane McLaughlin led the backfield,
churning out 156 yards on 24 carries.
“It was just a bit of character,” said
Murphy. “We’re going to do it the hard
way and run some old-fashioned football.”
Starting quarterback Charles DePrima was benched in the second quarter
after throwing his second interception,
both grabbed by Dartmouth sophomore
Sean Williams. DePrima threw three interceptions in last week’s 21-14 loss to
Princeton.

Holy Cross gets
enough defense
to top Fordham
By Joseph Eachus
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

Holy Cross 49 In an afternoon featuring two highFordham 47 powered offenses
and devoid of much defense until the
very end, Holy Cross held off Patriot
League rival Fordham, 49-47, Saturday
in the Bronx.
The Crusaders (5-3, 3-1 Patriot)
were powered by junior running back
Jordan Fuller, who steamrolled for 125
rushing yards and two scores on 24 carries. For the Rams (5-3, 1-2), junior Julius Loughridge notched 215 rushing
yards and three touchdowns on 25 attempts.
The back-and-forth matchup featured more than 1,000 yards of total offense (Fordham 619, Holy Cross 466)
and 10 lead changes, as Holy Cross
backup quarterback Joe Pesansky
passed for 337 yards and three touchdowns.
“Just a battle once again with these
guys. Two great offenses going at it,”
Holy Cross coach Bob Chesney said. “A
pretty awesome effort and a pretty awesome day for a lot of different guys
whose names you don’t typically hear.
“There’s so much more we’ve got to
clean up, obviously. We don’t leave this
field going, ‘Wow, what a great win.’ Defensively, we’ve got to take that next
step.”
Matthew Sluka, who set the Division
1 record for quarterback rushing yards
in a game with 330 last week against
Lafayette, did not see action until the
end of the third quarter because of a lingering injury.
Despite the lofty offensive numbers,
the game turned in Holy Cross’s favor
for good thanks to the defense. Senior
cornerback Matt Duchemin’s 55-yard
pick-6 made the score 49-41 with five
minutes to go. It was the first collegiate
interception for the St. John’s Prep
product and Haverhill native.
The Rams answered, marching
down the field before Loughridge
punched it into the end zone for his
third touchdown of the day.

BOSTON CITY LEAGUE SOCCER FINALS

Latin Academy gets
boys, girls sweep
By Mitch Fink

GLOBE CORRESPONDENTS

In its final practice before the
Boston City League final, the
Boston Latin Academy boys’ soccer team spent an hour perfecting its structure on set pieces.
With the title hanging in the
balance Saturday at Madison
Park High, that focus paid off.
Yussef Oulalite headed home the
winner off a corner kick with
two minutes left in stoppage
time, earning the Dragons a
thrilling 3-2 victory over Boston
International and a second consecutive City League title.
“I was not expecting it at all,
but it was a perfect ball to my
head,” Oulalite said. “I had the
opportunity, took it, scored, and
next thing I know everyone was
on top of me.”
Oulalite, a versatile midfielder, has been an asset on set pieces all season.
“Every time we get an opportunity for a set piece, we put him
in the mix,” Latin Academy
coach Patrick Mudie said of Oulalite. “We just said, ‘Get in the
box, and see if you can find a
second ball, or a first ball,’ and
he did.”
The Dragons (13-5) trailed
for most of the way, taking the
lead after Oulalite’s winner.
Boston International’s Ruben
Barros headed home the first
goal in the ninth minute, paying
off a long stretch of possession
for the Lions (15-2) to kick off
the game.
Sophomore Giovanni Waterman scored the equalizer with a
header of his own in the 26th
minute, but Boston International retook the advantage 12 minutes later after Jerry Registe rifled a goal from 20 yards.
But the Dragons stayed in the
match, withstanding a Boston
International push in the second
half thanks to the strong play of
senior keeper Santiago Gutierrez (12 saves), named the game’s
most valuable player.
In t h e 5 7 t h m i n u t e , t h e
Dragons equalized again when
s e n i o r S a n t i a g o Va n e g a s
notched a tally.

Then, with all signs pointing
toward extra time, Oulalite netted the dramatic winner.
“At halftime, we said, ‘We’re
down 2-1, we’ve got to respond,
get one, and we’re going to win
this, 3-2, and win this in the final minutes,’ ” Mudie said. “And
hey, sometimes it happens.”

Girls
Latin Academy set the tempo
in the Boston City League girls’
soccer final from the start: attack relentlessly. A clinical hat
trick from junior striker Lucy
Osowiecki was a testament to
the control.
The Dragons won their second consecutive City championship with a dominating 5-0 victory against East Boston at Madison Park.
“At the start of the game I
thought, ‘Let’s just start this off
good and have high spirits,’ ” Osowiecki said. “We had to build
pressure and get goals.”
Osowiecki’s first goal — a
penalty kick — came in the
fourth minute and was followed
quickly by another after she won
the ball at the edge of the box in
the 26th minute and curled in
her shot.
“Lucy is one of our best strikers,” said coach Phil Nguyen.
“She’s very versatile and understands what she needs to do to
get the ball wide.”
The Dragons (11-4-3) rarely
gave the Jets a chance to fight
back, building the offensive
pressure from the first whistle.
“The girls understood what
needed to be done in terms of
style of play,” Nguyen said. “We
wanted to get this win and that’s
the spirit we brought on board.”
Senior Lilah Fleischer and
sophomore Mariana Vanegas
connected in the 33rd and 57th
minute, respectively.
Sophomore Ella Curran was
awarded the Most Outstanding
Player of the Boston City League
for her all-around performance
throughout the regular season.
The Dragons will be seeded
in the Division 3 tournament,
opening with a preliminaryround match.

After dismantling Catholic
Conference rival BC High, 34-6,
the St. John’s Prep football team
triumphantly walked off the
gridiron at sun-splashed James
Cotter Field on Saturday and immediately shifted its focus on the
upcoming Division 1 tournament.
The defending Division 1
state champions wrapped up
their regular season undefeated
at 8-0, clinched at least a share
of the Catholic Conference title,
and all but locked up the top
overall seed in D1 ahead of Sunday’s bracket release.
But the top-ranked Eagles
know repeating as Super Bowl
champions will take an enhanced level of execution, especially now with postseason play
looming next weekend.
“Regular seasons don’t matter for much at our school and
for our program,” said St. John’s
Prep coach Brian St. Pierre, who
has guided his alma mater to
three state titles since 2018. “So,
we’re 0-0 starting on Monday.
Our kids know that and they understand it. We’re just trying to
focus inward and get better. We
have a lot to improve on from today.”
One week af ter shutting
down Catholic Memorial in a
19-8 victory, the Eagles’ defense
shined again. Prep held a highflying BC High offense to a season low in points, forcing six
punts and allowing just 66 total
yards of offense through three
quarters.
Defensive end Mason McSweeney led the way with two
sacks and three tackles for a loss,
while linebacker John Droggitis
snagged an interception. The
Eagles also blocked a punt and
recorded a safety on a botchedsnap.
The only blemish was Carter
Carroll’s 52-yard touchdown
pass to Marshall Rice in the
fourth quarter for BC High (5-3).
“I thought we contained
them well,” St. Pierre said. “They
throw the ball a lot and we did a
good job with it. We kept everything in front of us and they

Prep amassed 232 rushing
yards without senior running

a 3-yard TD plunge in the third

Lawrence Academy 28, Tabor
21 — Jordan Johnson ran 12
times for 64 yards and scored on
a 2-yard run with 11 seconds remaining to give the Spartans
(6-0) a win over the Seawolves
(5-1) in an Independent School
League clash of unbeatens in
Marion.
Tabor’s Hugo Djeumeni led
all rushers with 13 carries for
111 yards and touchdown runs
of 55 and 5 yards, the latter of

which tied the game, 21-21, with
3:49 left. It set the stage for the
Spartans’ winning scoring drive.
“We got into field goal range
and the O-line said we want to
score a touchdown,” said Lawrence coach Jason Swepson.
Belmont Hill 42, BB&N 28 — Reis Little tallied six total touchdowns (three passing, three
rushing) for Belmont Hill (5-1)
in the ISL-7 victory.
Brockton 27, Durfee 9 — Jarred

performance for the Boxers (3-4)
with a 101-yard interception return for a score in the Southeast

Brooks 35, St. George’s 21 —
Darnell Pierre had 25 carries,
156 yards, and 2 TDs en route to
a dominant first three quarters
for Brooks (3-3) in a Independent School League victory.
Dexter Southfield 25, Greenwich CD (Conn.) 13 — Quinn

Dexter Southfield (5-1).
Lynnfield 49, Hamilton-Wenham 13 — Tyler Adamo connected with Zahir Mitchell on touchdown passes of 15 and 33 yards

for the Bulldogs (2-4) in the ISL

St. Sebastian’s 28, Milton Academy 23 — George Kelly rumbled
for a 65-yard rushing score to

Martha’s Vineyard claims Island Cup
By Tyler Amaral
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

Martha’s Vineyard 24 NANTUCKET
— The 43rd
Nantucket
21 playing of the
Island Cup was about as evenly matched as
the series itself.
Martha’s Vineyard rallied with 17 unanswered points in the second half for a riveting 24-21 win Saturday afternoon in front of
a oversized crowd at Vito Capizzo Field, with
Victor DeSouza drilling a 32-yard field goal
with three seconds left for the victory.
DeSouza made the attempt three times,
but the first two were waved off because of a
timeout and a penalty.
With its second straight victory in a series
started in 1978, the Vineyarders seized a 2221 lead, making the two-plus-hour ferry ride

back to the island one to savor.
“[The rivalry] is the reason I came to this
school,” said Martha’s Vineyard second-year
coach Tony Mottola. “It was this rivalry that I
wanted to be a part of. To be a part of it exceeds all expectations.”
The lead was the only one of the day for
Martha’s Vineyard (5-3), which entered the
game 21st in the MIAA’s Division 5 power
rankings.
In a tie game with 45 seconds left, Guilherme Oliveira put the Vineyard in position
for the win with an interception on the Nantucket 45. A 22-yard run by Oliveira put the
Vineyarders within range for DeSouza.
With the Vineyard trailing, 21-13, Oliveira (107 rushing yards, 64 receiving yards)
threw a fourth-down, 18-yard halfback pass
to Wyatt Nicholson for a touchdown. Olive-

ira then punched in the tying conversion to
make it 21-21.
Nantucket (3-5) scored first when Jay Nolasco fell on a blocked punt in the end zone.
Arann Hanlon scored Nantucket’s only offensive touchdown on a 69-yard rush make it
14-0.
Will Nicholson connected with Aiden
Conley for 17 yards for the Vineyarders’ first
touchdown.
James Dutra had a 20 yard scoop-andscore to give Nantucket a 21-7 lead. Martha’s
Vineyard responded with a 25-yard touchdown pass from brother to brother, Will to
Wyatt Nicholson.
In addition to the varsity football game,
the afternoon included field hockey, and
boys’ and girls’ soccer for the newly created
Golden Anchor.

HIGH SCHOOL GOLF NOTEBOOK

Players set to tee it up in Div. 1, 2, and 3 championships
By Joseph Eachus
and Khalin Kapoor
GLOBE CORRESPONDENTS

At 10 a.m. Monday, in Hampden,
Brockton, and Sterling, 38 teams, 279
players in all, will tee off in the MIAA
Division 1, 2, and 3 golf championships, all with their eye on a title, team
or individual.
They will be challenged from tee to
green, at GreatHorse, Thorny Lea GC,
and Sterling National. Here’s a look:

Division 1
at GreatHorse, Hampden
(Par 72, 6,493 yards)
The D1 final features 14 teams, plus
19 individual qualifiers for 103 total
golfers. Longmeadow (West, 325
strokes), St. John’s Shrewsbury (Central, 303), North Andover (North, 296),
and Wellesley (South, 299) were the
sectional champions.
In the North qualifier at Renaissance GC, North Andover’s Cooper
Mohr fired a 4-under-par 68, the lowest score at any sectional, leading the
Scarlets Knights to their first title in
five years.
“I’ve had a bunch of opportunities,
but that was the first time I really executed on it,” said Mohr, the team’s lone

senior. “That was the round of my life.”
In terms of preparation, North Andover coach Matt Lombard said,
“We’re just trying to take it one day at a
time getting ready and then one shot at
a time when we’re out there. From
what we’ve heard from other people
who have played the course, the tee
shots are important, the bunkers are
put in very strategic spots . . . we’re really going to key in on the strategy off
the tee.”
Mohr played GreatHorse during the
Mass. Junior Amateur this summer.
“It’s definitely going to be really
hard, so I’m going to have to be smart
and just focus on the next shot,” he
said. “I can’t get mentally brought
down even if I have a bad hole.”
Longmeadow senior Ryan Downes,
the defending champion and the West
medalist at Westover Municipal Monday with a 75, plays out of GreatHorse.
His father, Billy Downes, who played
on the Nike Tour, is the club pro.

Division 2
at Thorny Lea Golf Club, Brockton
(Par 70, 6,275 yards)
It will be a 12-team field in Brockton, headlined by sectional champions
Dover-Sherborn (Central, 302), Mar-

blehead (North, 311), Bishop Stang
(South, 306), and Wahconah (West,
312), and 92 players, including 20 individual qualifiers.
Continuing his fantastic season,
Bishop Stang junior Matt Oliveira
shared medalist honors with Duxbury’s
Owen Hamilton in the South qualifier
at Easton CC, both turning in 1-over 72
rounds.
Oliveira said that Stang is in a good
position to capture the title after falling
one stroke shy of Old Rochester last
year. “We feel pretty confident,” he
said. “We’ve been looking forward to
this moment, and we want to win it
this time.”
Thorny Lea pro Michael Sullivan
preached caution for the first-time
golfers approaching the course. On the
412-yard, par-4 sixth hole, players have
a tendency to get too aggressive.
“A lot of players get to the hole, see
a front location, and try to stuff it in
there, then end up behind the hole.
From there, there’s no way to keep the
ball on the putting surface,” said Sullivan. “It drives people crazy, but it’s like
a game of chess. You’ve got to put yourself in the right position to just hit a
chip, make a 4 on that hole, and get
out.”

Thorny Lea rewards patience.
“It’s an accuracy golf course, it’s not
overbearing yardage,” said Sullivan.
“You can’t overthink it.”
Though most, if not all, teams were
unable to get in a practice round at the
course, Stang senior Matt Costello
played Thorny Lea previously when it
hosted the D2 final.
“We’ll go over the course online and
he’ll tell us all about it . . . where to be
smart, what holes are tough, and
where we can get our birdies,” Oliveira
added.

Division 3
at Sterling National Country Club
(Par 71, 6,238 yards)
Defending state champion Weston,
which captured the North title Monday
at Stow Acres with a 16-stroke victory
(312-328) over Stoneham, headlines a
12-team field (and 84 total players)
that includes fellow sectional champions Ayer-Shirley and Hopedale (Central, 317), St. John Paul II (South, 325),
and Monty Tech (West, 319).
“We’ve been grinding this entire
season for Monday,” said Weston senior
Zach Pelzar, who was the medalist at
Stow with a 2-under 70. “Everyone’s
super excited, so hopefully all of the

work that we put in will pay off, because at the end of the day it all comes
down to this.”
Sterling National profiles as a finesse-based course. It’s not all about
distance.
According to club pro Matthew
Bradbury, the changes in elevation and
difficult sight lines on holes 2 and 17
make pinpoint accuracy the most important factor.
“It’s not a typical driver-wedge golf
course, you have to turn the ball right
to left, which a fair percentage of players don’t move the ball that way,” said
Bradbury. “It won’t be the longest player in the field that’s going to win, it’s
going to be the one that can control
their distance and their emotions . . .
it’s an absolutely brutal test of golf.”
Weston was planning to get in a
practice round this weekend.
“We’re playing the course on Saturday, and we’ll go from there. I’ve heard
it’s pretty tight,” said Pelzar. “Got to get
around, try not to lose any balls, and
try to make some birdies because we’re
going to need a low score. Got to keep
the ball in play and hit the wedges
close. All these courses in New England . . . there are a lot of quirks, a lot
of tightness.”

The “Paul Howland House”
at 91 State St. in New
Bedford is a stunning
example of the beauty of

architecture.

The “Gilbert Russell House” at 405 County St.
in New Bedford features wooden quoins,
ogee hooded windows, eave brackets,
arcaded facades, and an octagonal cupola.
It’s on the market for $1,050,000.

From ‘Psycho’ to ‘Stranger Things,”
the stunning Second Empire home
plays a sinister on-screen role.
Does it deserve it?

The “General Lincoln Benjamin House” at 93
State St. in New Bedford was built in 1845
and was the home of Mayor Charles S. Ashley
in 1893, according to state records.

and balcony, according to state records.

onsider it the “things that go bump in the night”
of residential architecture.
The imposing Second Empire is a mainstay in
spooky movies and television shows. Have you
checked out Creel House in “Stranger Things?”
The steep slopes of its mansard roof and other
common touches like an imposing tower and large
windows can make the Second Empire veer into the intimidating —
especially if it comes with a dormer or two.
All the better to hide someone — or something — in the attic.
The architectural style is nearly as synonymous with horror as
Wes Craven when it comes to on-screen spookiness. The architectural style appears in “Psycho,” “The Addams Family,” “The Munsters,”
and even the opening credits of “Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?”
The timing of each of these hits just happened to follow decades
of the building style going out of favor in the United States.

Why are the ceilings on the first floor cracking?

The Remodeler

MARK PHILBEN

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

Q. This is the first-floor ceiling of our daughter’s
home, which she purchased in 2020. We think it was
built in the 1940s, and it looks to have been remodeled
15 years ago with the addition of a new kitchen and windows. What could be causing these cracks? This is
through the entire first floor. There is a heated basement
below and two floors above it. The attic has foam insulation. My daughter had a company come in through Mass
Save to seal up everything over the winter.
J.C.
A. These cracks almost certainly are falling along the
seams of the ceiling wallboard. Back in the ‘40s, they
were installing first-generation wallboard that was typically 24 inches wide by 60 inches long. They didn’t use
tape on the seams, just a heavy base and a veneer coat.
These crack over time, as you’ve seen. It looks as if someone made repairs at your daughter’s home and painted
over it — a temporary fix. I recommend doing a ceiling
layover, which involves screwing in the existing ceiling
with screws long enough to grab the framing. Then go
over the entire ceiling with a new layer of half-inch blueboard and plaster. Be sure not to place your new seams
on top of the existing failed ones; you want to stagger the
joints. If you have crown molding, you will have to take it
down and reinstall it. Then it’s time to prep and paint.
This repair will last generations.

HANDOUT

The ceilings in this home are cracking.
Q. I have a very nice Fiberglas door that a painter
restained too dark. I would like to redo it. When I got the
door, it was primed with a Fiberglas primer, then topped
with a beautiful oak oil-based stain. Can I lightly sand the
door (so as not to damage the wood grain texture), remove the top coat, clean the door thoroughly with mineral spirits, apply one or two coats of a spray-on fiber glaze
primer, and then restain to the original oak color with an
oil-based product? Or I could strip the previous stain
with a multistrip, if you think that would work better. I

have tested the Fiberglas primer on sample panels after I
stained them dark, and it worked really well.
D.
A. To be perfectly honest, I would replace the door. It
would be more cost effective, unless you have unlimited
time and patience. It is possible to strip off the stain on a
Fiberglas door gently, but please do NOT sand it. You will
ruin the very thin Fiberglas skin that covers the foam
core of the door. To strip a Fiberglas door, you need to use
a very mild/organic stripper. Most strippers on the market would melt the Fiberglas. As you could imagine, this
is a very slow process, which means you would have no
entry door for many days. This type of work should be
done on a workbench. In the end, it is very difficult to get
all the stain off in between the embossed grain pattern,
and you may wind up unhappy with the results. Fiberglas doors have become the norm now, so there is a fantastic array of species and finishes available. Plus, they
are very affordable.

A captivating opportunity in the Belgrade Lakes of Maine region awaits.
Picture this: a beautiful 1870 s Victorian Farmhouse, a historic barn
and 20x25 cedar shake farm store, meticulously maintained, all set
upon a sprawling canvas of 40 acres. Includes small orchard of fruit
trees, a trout stocked spring fed pond, 20+ acres of hardwoods, walking and cross country ski trails over its own stream and bridges.
Nestled just off the serene shores of Great Pond and 2-miles from the
Village of Belgrade Lakes.
Your imagination is the only limit. You might envision the quintessential
Gentleman s Farm, or perhaps, the allure of a Bed & Breakfast immersed
in the enchantment of Maine s rustic charm. Imagine a Pizza Barn and the
aroma of woodfires. Or dream even bigger, envision a Wedding Venue or
glamping site with the backdrop of the rolling hills and the shimmering
waters of Great Pond. This is not merely a house or a piece of land;
it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Many get a thrill out of owning an elegant Second Empire home
uSECOND EMPIRE

Continued from Page H1

very popular, the Second Empire style was
seen as stodgy and old-fashioned,” said
Eleni Glekas, director of historic preservation at Boston Architectural College’s
School of Design Studies. “Buildings can
look kind of scary and weird if they haven’t
been maintained in a while. If you see a
home with peeling paint, the shutters
might be hanging off to one side, or if it
just doesn’t look like it’s in great shape,
that immediately can evoke a feeling of
spookiness or that something’s not right
on the inside.”
It’s a long way to fall for a housing style
with a royal pedigree.
The style got its grandiose, imperial
name during the Second French Empire of
Emperor Napoleon III. The Second Empire, known for combining several styles,
moved across the Atlantic and exploded in
popularity in post-Civil War America.
“Toward the end of the 19th century,
the Industrial Revolution was booming. A
lot of people were making money off that,
and a way to showcase that wealth was to
build a fancy home,” Glekas said. “In order
to showcase this new wealth, you wanted
to build in the latest European style. Second Empire and Beaux Arts styles were
very popular in Europe, particularly in
France.”
But much like shag carpeting and waterbeds, Second Empire had a design shelf
life. It fell out of favor in the 20th century
and was seen as stodgy and a sign of the
prior century’s excess. Many of these Second Empire homes and public buildings
fell into disrepair — adding fuel to their
haunted house reputation.
“It would be easier for a filmmaker to
put a scary thriller movie in a house like
that than in some kind of 1950s ranch
house or some sleek 1960s design house in
Palm Springs,” Glekas added.
But the home appeals to more than
Norman Bates. There are multiple Facebook groups for Second Empire homeowners (and fans), with thousands of members
apiece signing in from across the country
to tout the architectural magic of these
properties.
Kevin Parker, a Brookfield-based sound
engineer, bought his Second Empire in
2013 after owning two Victorians. He
views the grandiose, almost formidable
style of his Second Empire as a draw, not a
spooky deterrent.
“Even among Victorian architecture, it’s
a visually unique subset,” Parker said. “You
see a Second Empire, you basically know it.”

ABOVE Laura Parrish and Tom Lavin now own a Second Empire that belonged to author Herman
Melville’s sister. They operate “The Whalehouse” as a vacation rental.
BELOW Kevin Parker’s Brookfield home features eyebrow dormers and gorgeous quoining on its edges.

KEVIN PARKER

Of course, some people like the idea of a
home with a hint of spookiness.
Todd Parker (no relation to Kevin) lives
in a Second Empire in Douglas. He appreciates the architectural significance of the
home style, but likes the idea of maintaining a little of its sinister vibe.
“The house was painted not too long
ago, but when we do look to repaint it, I’m
going to be pushing for a gray,” he joked.
Some Second Empires don’t give off
that vibe at all.
“Maybe it’s all the windows or the
uniqueness of the way that the roofline
looks, but at the time when I bought the
house, I didn’t consider [the scary connotation] at all,” said Laura Parrish, who
along with her husband, Tom Lavin, owns
an Italianate-Second Empire in New Bedford — the former residence of Herman
Melville’s sister.
“Maybe I was just blind with love.”
Parrish bought the home, named “The
Whalehouse,” in 2015 and transformed it
into a popular vacation rental. The property even served as a backdrop in the AMC
thriller “Invitation to a Bonfire.”
Neighbors and guests say there’s a
ghost that climbs the stairs, but there’s only one thing the owners of this historic
home find spooky: its lack of energy efficiency.
The Whalehouse has 14 heating zones,
and Parrish’s first heating bill was enough
to give even Wednesday Addams nightmares. After coming to terms with that
and dealing with burst pipes and even a
collapsed basement ceiling, she finally got
into the groove of maintaining and renovating her home.
“I felt genuinely so overwhelmed and
had the biggest buyer’s remorse you could
ever feel, but once I got past that and talked with a few people, I started to feel a little bit less overwhelmed,” Parrish said.
“Everybody feels that way.”
Second Empire homes can be labors of
architectural love, especially when you are
confronted with years of neglect.
“It’s kind of like the Brooklyn Bridge
where it’s always under some sort of state of
repair,” Kevin Parker, from Brookfield, said
with a laugh. “You finish the front half of
the house, and now you move on to the
back.”

ANSON CHAN FOR THE GLOBE

More successful IVF, egg cells from men, and sperm cells from women?
Biotech researchers aim to greatly expand reproductive opportunity.

C

hristian Kramme was
working at his desk in
the Church Lab at Harvard Medical School
when a colleague sent
him a blown-up image
from a microscope that
“literally made my jaw drop,” he recalls.
The image showed a series of nested
circles, each one a fabric of intertwined
fibers and cells, illuminated by imaging
technology in hues of green and purple,
centered around an open cavity. It was
like gazing into a galaxy.

By Grace Rubenstein
The scientists in the lab had grown an
“ovaroid,” an assembly of cells designed
to mimic the structure and function of a
crucial part of a human ovary: the follicle.
Follicles are the pockets within the ovary
that support and nourish eggs as they
prepare to be released for fertilization.
Kramme and his colleagues at the
Church Lab and elsewhere had been
working toward this for years, honing
biochemical and computational tools to
build a follicle piece by piece out of multiple different kinds of cells. The ovaroid
was a combination of all these cells in one

organized structure. And to Kramme’s
amazement, this lab-grown version
looked exactly like a microscopic image
of a real human follicle.
“To see them all come together and
self-organize into something that beautiful and complicated was priceless,” he
says.
The ovaroid, which was unveiled earlier this year, doesn’t yet do the whole job
of growing an egg. But it’s a huge step toward developing a suite of biotechnologies that could make the previously impossible possible in baby-making. These

technologies could enable women who
have lost their fertility to age or illness to
conceive with their own eggs — and to do
so with far less suffering than in vitro fertilization (IVF) currently exacts. Or enable men with infertility problems to generate healthy sperm from other kinds of
cells. Or even same-sex couples to create
sperm from biological females or eggs
from biological males and conceive children who are genetically related to both
parents. In short, these tools could help
bring more equity to the highly inequitaOVAROID, K4

How I accidentally became a fierce critic of AI

t was 2015, and despite Cambridge’s enticing fall weather, I’d spent most
of my time that semester working on the final project for “Science Fabrication,” one of my first-year graduate courses at the MIT Media Lab. The
class description grabbed me right from the start: Read science fiction and
let the literature inspire you to create something entirely new, something you’ve
always wanted to exist, even if it seemed impractical. Just make sure you can
build it in six weeks. Classes like this were exactly what I loved most about the
Media Lab — also known as the “Future Factory.” I saw it as a place of escape, a
cocoon, for dreamers like me to slip into fantasy and just build cool technology.
The real world and its messiness felt far away.
For this class project, beyond the science fiction we read that semester, I had
other sources of inspiration that were closer to home. I’d always wanted to shapeshift my body like Ananse the spider, the clever trickster who appeared in stories
my Ghanaian father and mother told me while I was growing up. But how could I
quickly change my body into any shape I desired without making major breakthroughs in physics? Instead of changing my physical form, I decided I would try
to change the reflection of it in a mirror.
I hacked together a prototype at my desk. With a mirror-like material called
half-silvered glass placed over my laptop screen, I tapped on my well-worn keyboard, projecting different images onto a black background. I pulled up an image
of Serena Williams, my favorite athlete. When I saw her eyes line up with mine in
the mirror, it felt like wizardry. Serena’s lips and nose became mine. It was spellbinding.
After some experimentation, I had a proof of concept — evidence that my
project was feasible — for what I called the Aspire Mirror. But to heighten the illusion, I wanted to get the image to follow my face when I moved.

OCTOBER 29, 2023

JOHN J. KIM/CHICAGO TRIBUNE; DAMIAN DOVARGANES/AP

Left, UAW President Shawn Fain (with raised fist) and the Rev. Jesse Jackson joined a rally for striking workers in Chicago on Oct. 7. Right, Kaiser
Permanente health care workers won a 21 percent raise over four years and a new $25 minimum wage after a three-day strike this month.

It’s time for an expansive
new labor movement

T

his has been a year of strikes.
Hollywood was brought to a
standstill by the Writers
Guild and SAG-AFTRA
unions. For the first time ever, the United Auto Workers launched a
strike against the three major American
automakers at once. In mid-October,
75,000 health care workers from Kaiser
Permanente walked off the job.
The strikes have broad public support
among voters from both parties. Nearly
60 percent of Americans approve of the
UAW and WGA/SAG-AFTRA strikes, including almost half of Republicans, who
have historically been less keen on
unions. Gallup polls show that overall
support for unions in the past three years
is at levels we haven’t seen in decades.
This growing labor momentum presents an opportunity to mobilize people
from across the political spectrum
around the idea that all workers — not
just those in unions — should share in
the profits they help create. Our research
suggests that redistributing America’s
wealth through the labor market may enjoy wider support among voters and, given Congressional gridlock, be more politically feasible than fixing inequality
through increased government spending
alone.
For decades, real wages for workers,
adjusted for inflation, have remained
stagnant, and the divide between the
wealthiest and everyone else has grown.
The federal government has failed to enact a consistent program for reducing inequality through tax reform or initiatives
that provide a safety net for the working

class, expand affordable housing, or lower the cost of college.
Yet people on both sides of the aisle
support efforts to make sure hard work
pays fairly.
One of the authors of this piece, Leslie
McCall, has done research analyzing the
2021 General Social Survey (GSS) and
found that 58 percent of Americans, including 38 percent of Republicans, believe companies should reduce the pay
gap between executives and their lowestpaid employees. This gap has ballooned
in recent years. A report from the Economic Policy Institute found that, in
2021, CEOs at top companies earned 399
times what the typical American worker
was paid, compared with a ratio of 59 to
1 in 1989 and 20 to 1 in 1965.
The other coauthor of this piece, Jennifer Sherman, has interviewed hundreds
of people in rural areas, many of whom
are white, working class, and conservative. They talk about the virtue of hard
work and desire good-paying jobs rather
than handouts. They express frustration
that the secure jobs their fathers and
grandfathers had no longer exist.
“You can’t do the same work that your
parents did and still get by,” a 33-year-old
in rural Washington said. Another lamented not being able to buy a home or
earn a living wage, saying “I don’t know if
it is possible anymore . . . . Maybe that’s
just how America is now.” Other re-

searchers have discovered similar sentiments among Black and white workers
across the country.
In recent years, we’ve seen a growing
“diploma divide” as people with college
degrees increasingly veer to the left politically and those without a college education skew more to the right. But the idea
that anyone who works should be able to
secure a middle-class life for their family
resonates with people of all political persuasions and education levels.
To win back blue-collar, working-class
voters, progressives should seize this moment and build a broad-based movement
to make work pay for everyone.
There are many ways to redistribute
wealth through the labor market. First,
we should continue to strengthen public
support for unions and expand union
membership, which is half of what it was
40 years ago. According to a recent report
from the Treasury Department, unionization has spillover benefits for workers at
nonunion businesses, such as higher
wages, better benefits, and stronger
workplace safety standards.
Second, we should rebalance how
profits are distributed. As 62 percent of
Americans support raising the minimum
wage to $15 an hour, many communities
are leading the charge by instituting minimums that exceed the federal standard.
But we don’t just want to raise the floor;
we should also curb pay at the top: 73

percent of Americans say CEOs are paid
too much, an issue that has become a focal point in the recent strikes.
Lastly, we can increase worker involvement in corporate decision-making.
Senators Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin
have proposed legislation in the past to
give workers control over a portion of
corporate board seats, a system that has
been used successfully in Germany for
years. In the 2021 GSS, 72 percent of
Americans said they support this idea, including 65 percent of Republicans. Board
seats would grant workers input on issues like free trade, executive pay, job
conditions, and the use of AI in the workplace — key points of contention in current labor disputes. Some businesses
could go even further by exploring profitsharing models and worker ownership.
The labor movement, and public support for it, has momentum right now.
Let’s seize this moment and rally people
from across the political spectrum and
across career, class, race, and educational
divides.
We can build a broad movement
around the idea that hard work deserves
fair pay and that there is a better way to
distribute the wealth created by American workers.

Where the cops go
Using anonymized smartphone location data and the location of police stations in major
cities, researchers were able to infer which
phones belonged to police officers and where
and for how long they were out on duty. Even
controlling for neighborhood characteristics
like education level, median household income, and homicides, officers spent more
time, made more total arrests, and made more
arrests per hour in Black and Hispanic neighborhoods than in white neighborhoods. Cities
varied widely though. For example, Boston had
the lowest estimate of officer time spent in
both Black and white neighborhoods, while
Detroit had the highest estimate for white
neighborhoods (and a lower estimate for Black
neighborhoods).

Politician knows best
Political scientists asked politicians at all
levels of government in Sweden to indicate
the issues on which they were most and least
knowledgeable and to indicate their position
on a policy proposal in each area (e.g., prevent
private companies from operating hospitals,

increase funding for charter schools). Later in
the survey, each politician was asked about a
group of constituents who advocated a position opposite to that of the politician. On the
subjects where politicians claimed to be most
knowledgeable, they were generally less willing to accept that the constituents in opposition understood the complexity of the issue,
based their opinion on facts, or represented
the majority opinion. This was particularly the
case for politicians with a college degree.

Flying chairs
An airport gets a temporary boost in flights
when it’s located in the home district of whoever chairs the US House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. A study found
that total departures, and nonstop departures
to Washington, D.C., increased from airports in
a chair’s district and decreased in airports in
the previous chair’s district, even controlling
for airline financial condition, population and
GDP of the airport’s metropolitan area, and
whether airlines received subsidies to fly from
that airport. This effect applied only to the
chair of the committee, not to the ranking

member of the same committee, to the speaker of the House, or in the hometown of the
head of the Federal Aviation Administration.
The explanation appears to be that airlines add
flights to curry favor with the committee chair.
And it appears to work: An increase in departures from the chair’s district is associated
with a lower probability that the committee or
the House passes an aviation-related bill, particularly on safety and security.

Weaponizing the state
Two Danish professors argue that one reason many non-Western countries have had undemocratic and corrupt governments is that
military technology has generally spread more
readily than civilian technology in the industrial era. For example, early tanks spread more
quickly than tractors, and steam and diesel engines for military purposes often preceded
their adoption for civilian purposes by decades. This has allowed regimes to entrench
themselves without having to engage in the
kind of governing reforms that became the
norm in Western Europe before the industrial
era. Indeed, historical data confirm that the

acquisition of more modern military technology has been associated with less democracy
and more corruption.

Women get a deal
Analyzing hundreds of business pitches
from the TV show “Shark Tank,” a study found
that solo women or all-female teams initially
requested smaller funding amounts compared
with solo men or all-male teams, even controlling for industry and amount of equity offered.
However, women’s requests were less likely to
end in an impasse. The researchers noticed
something similar in a salary negotiation experiment: Women made less aggressive initial
requests but were less likely to reach an impasse. This yielded an overall monetary advantage for women if there was no backup job offer available elsewhere, when an impasse
could’ve been especially costly. This suggests
that a more relational and less aggressive
style pays dividends.

‘If we stop fighting, we,
Ukrainians, will be gone.’
B y B o š tj a n Vi d e m š e k

A

n increasing number of Americans
and their elected representatives in
Congress — particularly those strategically and ideologically aligned with
former president Donald Trump —
do not support further assistance to
Ukraine. To date, the Biden administration and the US Congress have directed more than
$75 billion in assistance to Ukraine for humanitarian,
financial, and military support — a historic sum. A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted earlier this month found declining popular support for arming and funding the
war-ravaged country, which was invaded by Russia
nearly two years ago.
The waning support does not come as a surprise.
Last month, additional funding for Ukraine was left out
of a stopgap funding bill Congress passed on Sept. 30 to
keep the government open. And on Oct. 20, President
Biden, who has sought additional funding for Ukraine
since July, resorted to folding $61.4 billion of support
for the country into a $105 billion emergency funding
request to Congress for Israel and Gaza.
Ukrainian human rights and civil liberties activist
Oleksandra Matviichuk is on guard for Ukraine fatigue.
She knows that the outbreak of war in the Mideast and
humanitarian crises and conflicts across the world compete for headlines, sympathies, and funds. She is also
convinced that the stakes of the war in Ukraine are no
less than the continued survival of the Ukrainian people
themselves.
Since 2014, the human rights watchdog organization
that Matviichuk runs in Kyiv, the Center for Civil Liberties, has documented Russian war crimes. It was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2022, alongside the Russian
human rights organization Memorial and imprisoned
Belarusian activist Alex Bialiatski. Earlier this month, I
spoke with Matviichuk over Zoom just after nearly all of
the European Union’s highest diplomats convened a surprise summit in Kyiv to reassert the bloc’s commitment
to Ukraine.
Our conversation has been edited and condensed.
What is your read on the international community’s
support for Ukraine?
Even though the war has been going on for almost 20
months, the focus of the international community is still
on Ukraine. That’s logical. Now Ukrainians are not only
fighting for ourselves, but also for others. We are witnessing the dismantling of the world order that was created after the Second World War. Ukrainians are now
fighting to prevent the start of the third.
What does Ukraine currently need — and lack —
the most from its allies?
When a major Russian offensive began in February
2022, the world reacted with the idea that Ukraine must
not fall. As a result of this, Ukraine began to receive the
first shipments of serious weapons, and the first serious
sanctions were imposed against Russia by the international community, for which we are, of course, very
grateful. This allowed us to resist the large-scale Russian
invasion.
But now the time has come to change that narrative:
Let’s help Ukraine to win quickly. There is a huge difference between these two approaches — Ukraine must not
fall, and Ukraine must win quickly. A difference that can
be measured in practice. The type of weapon, the speed
of decision-making, and the severity of sanctions and
many other factors are what decide this.
The problem is that we, Ukrainians, don’t have time.
Time in Ukraine translates into many lost human lives
on the battlefields, and in the interior, and in the occupied territories.

Most of my Ukrainian friends and acquaintances
are exhausted, tired, traumatized. Because of war, because of insecurity, because they were torn from their
lives. How do you feel? Where do you find the strength
to continue?
It is difficult to live in a time of a large war. My mood
changes constantly — up and down and up and down.
We live in complete uncertainty. We have completely
lost control over our lives. We can’t plan anything, not
even the next day, not even the next hour! Another Russian attack could happen at any time. This also means
that you are constantly afraid for your loved ones,
friends, and acquaintances — especially those who
joined the Ukrainian armed forces or live in the occupied territories. Or anywhere else in the country. Nowhere in Ukraine is safe from Russian bombs.
This is our reality.
What helps me and
many people I know to
continue our struggle
and efforts are two
things. The first is our
common goal — we
fight for freedom. For
freedom on all possible
levels. Because we
want to be a free and
independent country,
not a Russian colony.
For the freedom to be
Ukrainians and not to
erase our identity and
Oleksandra Matviichuk
forcibly become Russians. For the freedom
of our democratic decision-making and the freedom to
build a country where everyone’s rights will be respected, a country where the authorities will be accountable
to the people, a country where the judiciary is independent, and a country where the police are not violent toward protesters.
Another thing that keeps me — that keeps us — going
is that we want to be an example to the others. I don’t
wish any country or nation to go through our experience, but these dramatic times have given us an opportunity to bring out the best in ourselves. That we are
brave, that we fight for freedom, that we make difficult
but correct decisions, and that we help each other. Only
with mutual help can we experience what a human being really is.
One example: When the large-scale Russian invasion
began, international organizations evacuated their citizens from Ukraine, but ordinary people remained. And
ordinary people began to do extraordinary things. Ordinary people rescued ordinary people from attacked cities. Ordinary people broke through blockades and cordons to deliver humanitarian aid. Ordinary people survived under constant artillery attacks. They also
survived the last winter when Russia was deliberately
destroying the Ukrainian energy system.
I also spent some time in Kyiv in an apartment without water, electricity, internet, mobile connection, and
heating. This brought ordinary people together even
more and inspired them to continue doing extraordinary things. This is how we fight against pain and despair.
Do you think the Ukrainian social fabric has been
greatly strengthened during the war; that it is stronger than ever?
It’s hard to say it’s stronger than ever, but it’s extremely strong. I will put it differently: We have no other
choice. We will never surrender. We will never give up.
We will not become Russian slaves. If we stop fighting,
we, Ukrainians, will be gone. This war has a genocidal
character. The Russians are trying to destroy our identity. There is no existence without a struggle.

Ideas

You recently said that a Ukrainian victory does not
mean only the expulsion of the Russian army from the
territory of Ukraine, the restoration of order, and the
liberation of the people living in the occupied territories. Victory, you said, also means a successful democratic transition. How to achieve it?
We want to build functioning, efficient, sustainable
democratic institutions. This would fulfill the will of
millions of people who risked their lives nine years ago
during the Revolution of Dignity and the protests
against [then-Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych’s]
corrupt regime. [Editor’s note: These protests, which began in November 2013 and culminated in February
2014, were also known as the Maidan Revolution, and
they erupted in response to Yanukovych’s decision to
spurn a European Union free-trade agreement in favor
of pursuing closer ties with Russia.]
At that time, when you asked people on the streets
why they were protesting in support of the European vision of Ukraine, they did not yet know the structure
and functioning of European institutions. Even today,
ordinary people do not know how the European Council and the European Parliament work. Back then —
and even today — the choice was about values. People
would like to live in their own country, which they
themselves would build. And where the rules are the
same and completely clear for everyone. Where the government doesn’t dictate who you must believe and who
you must love and what you must live for and what you
must die for.
We want to live in freedom. We want to be returned
to the European civilization. Therefore, the choice is
about the choice of values. And that is why Vladimir Putin started this war, which did not start on February 24,
2022, but eight years earlier, when the Ukrainian people
succeeded in overthrowing an authoritarian regime, giving us the possibility of a democratic transition. Putin
wanted to prevent this. That is why he launched an aggression, occupied Crimea and a large part of Donbas,
and in February of 2022 launched a major invasion.
Like any dictator, Putin is afraid of the idea of freedom.
Is Ukraine also a victim of weak international structures — led by the United Nations and the Security
Council?
I’ll be honest: The international system of ensuring
peace and security does not work. People in Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Ukraine know this
very well.
But now this is becoming noticeable even to people
in developed democratic societies. We need a cardinal,
comprehensive reform of the United Nations system. We
recently heard a proposal by US President Joe Biden to
increase the number of permanent members of the Security Council. But this is not a cardinal reform. We
need a whole new approach. A completely new system
of international assurance of peace and security, which
will not be tied to the GDP or the geographical size of
the members of the Security Council. It should be bound
by respect for human rights and freedoms.
There is no indication that Russia is considering
ending its aggression in Ukraine. Quite the opposite. It
seems that the consequences of the colonial-imperial
war for Moscow are not as severe as one might have
thought they would be. How to stop Russia?
What do we need to win, you ask? Outcomes of wars
are not decided on national borders. It is not just a war
between Russia and Ukraine, between two countries. It
is a war between two systems. Between totalitarianism
and democracy. Putin will not stop. Putin must be
stopped. If he is not stopped in Ukraine, he will go on.
Russia is an empire that has its center but no borders. If an empire has enough energy available, it will always expand. To stop the expansion of this empire,
many countries, not only Ukraine, need to get out of
their comfort zone.
Yes, we are grateful for arms and financial aid to the
Ukrainian economy, but Russia is preparing for a protracted war.

Qatar is the key to peace in postwar Gaza
B y Ja s o n Pa c k

E

ven in the best of times, diplomats
struggle to get adversaries to compromise for mutually beneficial solutions.
Human selfishness, paranoia, in-group
solidarity, and shortsightedness make suboptimal
outcomes more likely. Look at Israel and Gaza:
Amid massacres, forced deportations, a hostage
crisis, disinformation, and arguably the worst outbreak of online ethnic hatred since the invention
of the internet, it would seem nearly impossible to
undertake the compromises needed to free Israeli
hostages, prevent a humanitarian tragedy for Palestinian civilians, and forge an optimal solution
for postwar governance in Gaza.
Yet, we mustn’t lose hope. Plans are being negotiated by entrepreneurs and experienced go-betweens tying comprehensive hostage release to
postwar humanitarian assistance for Gaza. They
can, however, be brought to fruition only if they
include postwar interim governance arrangements that empower Arab allies to take responsibility for Gaza and to facilitate an end to hostilities.
American and British diplomats should be
working on creating a Qatari, Emirati, Saudi, and
Egyptian coalition — known in this context as a
condominium — to administer postwar Gaza’s foreign affairs, borders, health care, infrastructure,
and education for five to 10 years while rebuilding, rooting out Hamas, and preparations for elections are undertaken in parallel. Lessons from
post-conflict states that have held elections too
early — for example, Libya and Egypt after the Arab Spring — should serve as a warning against a
rush to turn things over to the Palestinian Authority or to bring about elections too soon.
This urgent diplomacy does not have to touch
the intractable issues concerning the final status of
the West Bank, the Israeli settlements there, or

even the final status of Gaza.
Unlike in previous Arab-Israeli Wars, the main
Arab Sunni powers actually want to reach a settlement that is favorable to certain core Israeli security interests. Privately, Gulf State leaders, along
with Jordan, Egypt, and Morocco, appear willing
to see Hamas eradicated on the battlefield but are
restricted in facilitating that outcome by the proPalestinian sentiments and massive Iranian and
Russian disinformation campaigns among their
populaces. What they are not restricted from doing is helping to implement a post-war interim solution for Gaza that safeguards Palestinian interests while preventing Hamas’s resurgence.
Qatari involvement, in particular, is essential to
starve Hamas of the funds and political support it
has depended on for years and to foster alternative
forms of Sunni political Islamism. Qatar mediated
the initial release of two American hostages on
Oct. 20 and two more Israelis on Oct. 23. Doha,
Qatar’s capital, is not only the home of Hamas’s
political wing, but Qatar gives it access to the international financial system. Although Iran is a
military patron of Hamas, it lacks the key conduits
to the international financial system that Qatar
provides.
In the early post-Arab Spring period, the Qataris unfortunately funded the Muslim Brotherhood
and assorted armed Sunni militants in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, and Gaza. Those choices to back Islamist militants are mostly associated with the previous emir — the current emir’s father — and his
advisers. Over the last few years, as the current
emir has cemented his rule, he has been distancing himself from the confrontational choices of his
father and has focused on building Qatar’s diplomatic capacity and global image. Qatari elites truly
wish to show the world that they have turned over
a new leaf, building on the image they tried to
present when they hosted the 2022 World Cup.
Now we should gracefully allow the new emir to

ble realm of reproduction. (This article uses the terms
“woman” and “man,” but the author recognizes that the
experiences described here may apply to trans men and
trans women.)
Today, the boundaries of gender and reproductive
freedoms are being contested — with more than 20
states banning or restricting gender-transition care, efforts to remove LGBTQ-themed books from libraries at
record highs, and the Supreme Court’s overturning of
Roe v. Wade. But in the coming years, technologies like
these could create new reproductive possibilities — and
perhaps new social conflicts too.
“The technology keeps pushing the envelope, not just
biologically but conceptually,” says Vardit Ravitsky, president of the bioethics research institute the Hastings Center and bioethicist at Harvard Medical School. This research “links technology development with the most
profound concepts of humanity,” expanding the concept
of how families can be made.

Step one: boosting fertility
As the lab-grown ovaroid is further refined to function reliably like a human follicle, its first and most obvious clinical use is probably to make IVF work a lot better
for women.
Currently, women undergoing IVF must take a series
of extremely expensive hormone injections to stimulate
their ovaries to mature eggs, which can cause cramping,
bloating, headaches, mood disruptions, and painful
ovarian swelling. IVF typically costs tens of thousands of
dollars. And it’s a process that the female partner may
suffer through even when a couple’s infertility problems
are caused by the male partner.
“The burden between men and women is so astronomically far apart,” says Kramme, who is now vice
president of cell engineering at biotech company Gameto, which has licensed the ovaroid technology from the
Church Lab. “We’re trying to even out the burden.”
How? First, the cells derived from an ovaroid could be
used to enable in vitro maturation (IVM), moving the biologically intensive process of readying an egg for fertilization out of the female body and into the lab. In this
scenario, a woman could skip most of the hormone injections required for IVF. Her eggs would be extracted and
their maturation process finished in a dish. Women could
also potentially use more of the eggs extracted from
them, rather than having to toss out the immature ones.
Researchers expect that having a larger pool of eggs
to choose from could improve the often heartbreakingly
low success rate of IVF: 40 percent for women ages 3537, dwindling to 4 percent for women over 42.
Such advancements could ease some of the stress
caused by the natural age limit on women’s fertility,
which pressures women to sacrifice career progress for
motherhood and/or have children before they or their
relationships are ready. With scant public support for
working parents in the form of child care and paid parental leave, says Ravitsky, “The equity issue here is that
we created a systemic societal problem and we’re trying
to solve it individually on the shoulders of women.”
Dina Radenkovic, the CEO of Gameto, envisions labgrown ovaroids helping younger women who want to
freeze their eggs to preserve their fertility by making the
process easier and cheaper. “If your egg freezing experience becomes something you can do over a weekend,
you don’t need to spend a lot of money,” she says. “You
then have your eggs frozen in your late 20s or early 30s
and give yourself a little bit more control over your reproductive timeline,” coming closer to the flexibility that
men have.

Step two: making sex cells from
scratch
At first, ovaroids could be used to nurture a woman’s
existing eggs, but researchers are also pursuing a step
that sounds even more fantastical: creating new egg
cells where none existed. These new cells could be derived from other kinds of cells in the body of a woman
who has lost her viable eggs to age or illness. Or these

fully turn the page and get credit for doing so.
A Qatari-led pan-Arab condominium for Gaza’s
governance can become the basis for a broader regional settlement, which could finally end the
post-Arab Spring Emirati-Qatari Cold War, in turn
helping to contain Iran and its proxy Hezbollah.
Evicting Iranian influence from Gaza and elsewhere in the Arab Middle East, such as Yemen,
Syria, and Lebanon, would create conditions regionally that are more conducive to a larger ArabIsraeli settlement that satisfies Palestinian national aspirations and Israeli security concerns, while
reducing the disordering potential of Iran and
Russia. In fact, the interim arrangements over Gaza can create trust and diplomatic channels that in
a few years’ time can form the groundwork of an
Israeli-Palestinian-pan-Arab peace deal, which
would correct the dangerous dynamics of the
Abraham Accords, which ignored Palestinian issues.

cells could even, a bit further into the scientific future,
come from a man.
The process for creating these eggs shares scientific
roots with the process of creating the ovaroid. Both technologies are based on the knowledge that all of our
many cell types, from skin to blood to bone to eggs, arise
from one kind of cell that serves as a kind of blank slate
— a stem cell. Creating eggs, like creating the ovaroid,
involves reprogramming a cell back into a stem cell and
then finding the right chemical recipe to direct it to become a different cell.
This egg creation process is called in vitro gametogenesis (IVG). In principle, related methods could be
used to create sperm. Think of it as the next step up in
complexity as science tries to mimic the magic of human
reproduction.
The starter cells that could currently be used to
achieve this are skin and blood cells. In a milestone
study in March 2023, researchers from Japan announced that they had reengineered stem cells from the
tail skin of male mice into eggs, fertilized them with
mouse sperm, and implanted the embryos in female
mice, resulting in the births of live pups — effectively
generating offspring conceived by two males.
Writing in the journal Nature, reproductive scientists
Diana Laird and Jonathan Bayerl of the University of
California, San Francisco, noted that this method “might
even provide a template for enabling more people — in-

cluding male same-sex couples, and transgender and
XXY individuals — to have biological children, while circumventing the ethical and legal issues of donor eggs.”
(Currently, male-male couples need both an egg donor
and a pregnancy surrogate to create a baby with one of
their sperm, and in doing so must confront both staggering financial costs and ethical questions about who is
paid to provide those and the medical risks women take
to do so.)
Could scientists eventually even reprogram cells to
produce a functioning uterus that could grow a baby
outside the body? George Church, the geneticist who
leads the Church Lab, thinks it’s possible. In fact, he
hopes to do it to help propagate endangered species
such as elephants. Scientists still haven’t worked out
how to nourish such an organ well enough for it to survive long outside the body, Church says, “But there’s no
basic law of physics or biology that prevents it; it’s just a
matter of funding and creativity and persistence.”
Church even imagines that, in a distant future, if synthetic uteruses can be made to work for humans, “You
could consider it primitive that women had to risk their
lives and pain and so forth to give birth.”
Taken together, these emerging technologies could
increase equity for anyone trying to build a biological
family missing a component, be that an egg, a sperm, or
a uterus, says Ravitsky, the bioethicist. While critics con-

Many on the American and Israeli right will
balk at Qatari involvement, as it has long been
their agenda to isolate the Qataris and further
punish them for their prior support of militant
Sunni Islamism. To make sure that the Qataris definitively want to turn the page, it is essential to
spell out the intense sanctions they would face if
they revert to funding or harboring terrorists. At
present, it is simply impossible to ignore Qatar’s
role in the Middle East or to eradicate the Muslim
Brotherhood ideologically, philanthropically, and
educationally in Gaza or elsewhere. (Though distinct from Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood is the
ideological precursor, and umbrella movement,
from which Hamas sprung.)
Meanwhile, Israel lacks the regional connections and international levers to bring about a stable postwar state for Gaza. And most Israelis do
not want Israel to occupy Gaza indefinitely. At the
end of the war, Israel should receive regional security guarantees, an upgrading of American and
British defense commitments, in exchange for recognition of both the pan-Arab condominium’s
temporary administrative control and eventual
Palestinian sovereignty over Gaza.
In this era of global enduring disorder, each
new crisis injects volatility into the international
system and empowers spoiler powers like Russia
and Iran, which actively promote chaos for chaos’s
sake. The role of mature diplomacy in times like
these is to push combatants toward the least bad
option. With a little help from our friends, both
hostage releases and the end of hostilities are
within reach.

tend that people can build a family just as well through
adoption, without shared DNA, Ravitsky counters that
genetic links feel profoundly important to many hopeful
parents, and that makes reproduction a matter of equity.
“Any technology that allows us to do things we
couldn’t do before, my impulse says, if we manage to do
this responsibly and wisely, who gets to join the party of
reproduction?” she says.

Step three: sorting out the ethics
Between here and the potential fertility technologies
that the ovaroid researchers envision, years of scientific,
ethical, and legal hurdles remain.
Maturing eggs in a dish to ease the IVF process is
within reach. This month, Gameto released study results
showing that, in women given just a fraction of the usual
hormone treatments before egg extraction, using stem
cell-derived cells to mature eggs worked significantly
better than other methods of maturing eggs. But growing eggs or sperm from other kinds of cells is much further away. Predictions of its timeline vary among researchers.
In their Nature commentary, Laird and Bayerl laid
out some of the limitations of the male-male mouse
study. For one, the method for reprogramming stem
cells into egg cells is not yet reliable for humans. Plus,
only seven of the 630 implanted mouse embryos grew
into live pups — about a 1 percent success rate (though
these new mice grew up to have pups of their own).
“If the public takeaway is that we’re capable of doing
amazing things in a lab model like a mouse, that’s great,
it is incredible,” Laird says. “But it’s very different than
deciding it’s OK to do in humans.”
Laird added that skin cells may not be the optimal
starting point for humans trying to create eggs or sperm
from scratch. “How many sunburns has [the donor] had
in their lifetime?” she says. “You’re taking probably one
of the most abused cells that’s acquired the most mutations … and you’re turning it into the most important
cell in development.” Certain kinds of blood cells might
work better, she said, but they’re harder to reprogram.
Beyond effectiveness, researchers will need to resolve
significant safety questions, particularly for a baby born
through these methods. Laird cautions that, before making an option like same-sex-couple-created offspring
widely available to humans, we’d have to know the impacts on a baby with a life expectancy of 80-plus years
and the impact on their own fertility, seeing the process
work for multiple generations in primates first.
We’d also need robust laws to ensure that a Beyoncé
or Brad Pitt fan couldn’t brush up against the star on the
red carpet, scrape off some skin cells and pay to make a
little Bey or Brad baby. Or that an obsessed ex couldn’t
do the same to any of us.
And we’d need substantial investment in the technologies to bring the cost within reach for everyone, not
just the uber-rich. Without equitable access, says Laird,
“The field of reproductive biology is gatekeeping in who
gets to propagate their genes.”
So what are the chances that these scenarios will
come to pass? Scientifically, the researchers consider this
more likely a question of when than if. Politically and economically, it could be more if than when.
Ravitsky expects that some people will decry these
new methods as unnatural or immoral. But she anticipates that, provided we set laws to prevent abuse of the
technology, over time creating families this way will become normal. In the early days of IVF, “we called them
test-tube babies and we thought they were artificial children,” she recalls. Now we simply call them babies.
Kramme comes from a family of seven children and
hopes to create a family of his own someday. But he’s 26,
his partner is working on her PhD, and it’s not the right
time for either of them to become parents. He worries
about their fertility as they push baby-making into their
30s, and he hopes to ease that fear for future generations.
“I really do believe that within my lifetime and my
partner’s lifetime, we will cure infertility,” he says.
“‘Cure’ means not just can it be done, but can I access it.”

Pro-Palestinian protesters gathered at Harvard earlier this month. The author writes that remaining silent and making up one’s mind requires courage, too.

On college campuses, a new form
of pressure: to take a stand
B y H o wa r d A x e l r o d

A

fter learning that 34 Harvard student
groups co-signed a statement holding Israel “entirely responsible for all unfolding violence,” I asked my students at Loyola University Chicago what they made of the
mounting tensions on campuses across the country.
It was the collegiate equivalent of turning out the
lights to get some order — a conversation about the conversation. And maybe because my students write and
share personal essays in this creative nonfiction course,
their responses were not political or ideological. They
were personal.
What student after student identified with was the
unrelenting social pressure to take a moral stance on every event that rates a headline.
“Sick of it,” was the phrase that ricocheted around the
table.
Sick of the anxiety, sick of having to judge and be
judged, sick of having to comment on everything or risk
being accused of no comment, like a cowardly politician
running from the cameras.
Sick of the fear of being canceled. And, for the record,
they were especially sick of celebrities weighing in, like
Justin Bieber, who expressed his support for Israel by
unwittingly posting a picture of Gaza.
Seeing what was in their faces as they listened to
each other — the accretion of anxiety, the fatigue, the
shadow of the zeitgeist — helped me realize what concerned me most about the statement of their Harvard
counterparts and the similar moral hot takes that were
proliferating across the country.

Continued from Page K1
I had been lost in my work for
hours, energized by the progress I’d
made, when I suddenly realized I was
running late for a night out that my
friend Cindy had managed to persuade
me to join with several of our friends.
Phase two of the Aspire Mirror would
have to wait.
Apparently, a night out designed by
MIT women was broken down into
phases. The first phase was snacks and
beautification. The second phase was
partying in downtown Boston. As I
rushed over to Cindy’s apartment, I
tried to recall if the invite had asked
guests to bring anything. I remembered
the call to bring party clothes, and there
was also something about masks. That
made sense, I’d thought: It was Halloween, after all. I’d settled on my outfit for
the night: a hot pink blazer, black dress
pants, and a white costume mask I
bought for the occasion.
When I got to her apartment, Cindy
came to the door and gave me a warm
hug.
“So glad you made it! Why are you
carrying a mask?”
“I thought the invitation told us to
bring Halloween masks?”
She broke out into a grin. “I meant
beauty masks. But don’t worry, I have
enough for everyone. I grabbed so
many from my last trip to Korea.”
Chuckling at my mistake, I joined
the other ladies in the makeshift relaxation space. Soft pillows, manicure sets,
and ambient lighting accented my fellow revelers, who were reclining with
soft beauty masks seeping into their
faces. The masks didn’t fit my facial features, but at least I was out of the lab.

It was the carte blanche moral immunity extended to
a terrorist organization, the odd social pressure behind
this reductiveness, and the seeming impossibility of conversation that might lead to empathy and deeper understanding, even thousands of miles away from the fighting.
How did this happen? How did today’s young people,
usually so intent on making safe spaces, turn to performative heartlessness? How could students at Stanford,
preparing to hang a “Zionism is genocide” banner out
their window, say they needed to be on the right side of
history, no matter their Jewish housemate who was
grieving the deaths of family in Israel?
The answer, I think, has far less to do with the
fraught history of Israel and Gaza, or even with the postcolonial theory dominant on college campuses, than
with the history of the students themselves.
This generation grew up in the throes of climate
change, school shootings, the murder of George Floyd,
the sexual predations of powerful men, the Trump presidency, and a global pandemic that kept them home, on
their screens. Which means they also grew up on social
media, the world’s most powerful tool for connection
and an even more powerful tool for alienation and
shame.
Given the requisite perpetual display of self, being
cool couldn’t just be about the clothes you wore or the
music you liked. Not when there were movements like
Black Lives Matter and MeToo. Not when the newsfeeds
on their phones made crisis perpetual.
How could they not have started to speak out? And
how could they not have started judging each other for
the quality of their posts, trying to one-up each other,

The next day, rejuvenated from my
night with the girls, I bounded back to
my office and switched on the fluorescent lights. This was one of the best
parts of being a coder — and an artist:
the thrill of being in the middle of creating something delightful. It’s like the
anticipation of eating freshly baked
bread after its aroma has filled the
room. I sat at my desk and started
phase two of the Aspire Mirror project:
adding interactivity and movement
tracking.
Because I wanted the digital filter to
follow my face, I needed to set up a
webcam and face-tracking software so
that the mirror could “see” me. The webcam was easy. The face-tracking software was a struggle. Like many coders,
I do not build everything from scratch
— I rely on preexisting code, called software libraries, to create new systems.
Think of it like a home improvement
project. If I want to build a fence, I don’t
need to personally chop down trees for
my posts. I can go to the hardware store
and buy precut planks of wood. Software libraries are lines of code written
by other coders, like prefabricated
building blocks, and they can be downloaded online by almost anyone.
For my Aspire Mirror, I tracked
down an open-source face-tracking
library for the project and integrated it
into my code.
But even when I was looking
straight into the camera, the system
could not detect my face. That’s OK, I
thought. Failure was part of the process. The next question to ask was,
Could the system detect any face? I tested this by drawing on the palm of my
hand two horizontal lines for eyes, an L
for a nose, and a wide U for a smile. I
held my hand in front of the camera.
The software detected my elementary

markings as a face!
At this point anything was up for
grabs. I looked around my office and
saw the white mask that I’d brought to
Cindy’s the previous night. As I held it
over my face, a box appeared on the
laptop screen. The box signaled that my
masked face was detected. I took the
mask off, and as my dark-skinned human face came into view, the detection
box disappeared. The software did not
“see” me. A bit unsettled, I put the
mask back over my face to finish testing
the code.
Coding in whiteface was the last
thing I expected to do when I came to
MIT, but — for better or for worse — I
had encountered what I now call the
“coded gaze.”

Resistance to AI is acceptable
You may have heard of the male
gaze, a concept developed by media
scholars to describe how, in a patriarchal society, art, media, and other
forms of representation are created
with a male viewer in mind. The male
gaze decides which subjects are desirable and worthy of attention, and it determines how they are to be judged.
You may also be familiar with the white
gaze, which similarly privileges the representation and stories of white Europeans and their descendants.
My use of “coded gaze” is inspired by
those terms. It describes the ways in
which the priorities, preferences, and
prejudices of those who have the power
to shape technology can propagate
harm, such as discrimination and erasure. We can encode prejudice into
technology even if it is not intentional.
I couldn’t help but think of Frantz
Fanon’s “Black Skin, White Masks.” The
book, written almost a half century before my experience, interrogates the

when the platforms they used called for judgment, demanded it with buttons for likes and shares? To be socially engaged with your friends, you had to be politically engaged with the world, and you had to judge each
other’s engagement. There was no other choice.
So, more political engagement from students, more
student empowerment, and higher anxiety. A mixed bag,
but livable, until the polarized, uncivil online world
crosses the border into the daily physical life of campus.
And now at Harvard, Stanford, and other colleges across
the country, many Jewish and Muslim students don’t
just have the war to worry about but an online level of
pressure and hostility from each other.
Students need a crash course on moral courage. They
know the old textbook axiom of speaking up for justice
in the face of pressure to keep silent, but moral courage
can also be remaining silent in the face of pressure to
speak. It means risking no comment, taking the time to
learn about the complexity of historical context. It
means not talking in bumper stickers, not caving to social pressure masquerading as moral pressure. It means
taking the time to figure out what you think for yourself.
Then you can fly your banners, issue and sign statements. Then you’ll know what you’re saying and why
you’re saying it.
Otherwise, no matter what side you’re on, you’ll have
no chance of being on the right side of history. No ill-informed person ever is.

Pockets: Getting Lost And Sometimes Found In The

complexities of conforming oneself —
putting on a mask to fit the norms or
expectations of a dominant culture. After striving for years to gain entrance to
this epicenter of innovation, MIT, I was
reminded that I was still an outsider. I
left my office feeling invisible.
In the years since I first encountered
the coded gaze, the promise of AI has
only become grander: It will overcome
human limitations, AI developers tell
us, and generate great wealth.
But the deeper into my research I
have gotten, the more I have come to
understand how profound and sweeping the coded gaze’s impact is. It encompasses myriad ways technology can
manifest harmful discrimination that
expands beyond racism and sexism, including ableism, ageism, colorism, and
more.
None of us can escape the impact of
the coded gaze. Decisions that impact
your daily life are increasingly being
shaped by advancing technology that
sits under the wide — often opaque —
umbrella of artificial intelligence. I
hope to show a path to urgent and
growing conversations about the future
of technology that need your voice, the
voice of everyday people with lived experiences of what it means to be excluded — indeed, excoded — from systems
not designed with you in mind.
We need the voices of people like
Robert Williams, who was wrongfully
arrested in front of his children due to a
false facial recognition match.
We need the voices of students,
those struggling with e-proctoring software that flags them as cheaters.
We need the voices of migrants from
Haiti and Africa who were caught in
limbo when applying for asylum because the US government required the
use of a mobile app that failed to verify

their faces.
We also need the voices of the unseen faces that do the ghost work, the
data cleaning, the human translation
that supports AI products.
We need the voices of the parents
whose children had intimate moments
recorded by listening devices meant to
provide hands-free convenience.
We need to remember a Belgian
man who committed suicide after interacting with a chatbot. According to his
widow, the chatbot encouraged him to
end his life.
Most important, we need to be able
to recognize that not building a tool or
not collecting intrusive data is an option, and one that should be the first
consideration. Do we need this AI system or this data in the first place? Or
are we being encouraged to direct money at inadequate technical Band-Aids
without addressing much larger systemic societal issues?
I critique AI from a place of having
been enamored with its promise, as an
engineer more eager to work with machines than with people at times, as an
aspiring academic turned into an accidental advocate, and also as an artist
awakened to the power of the personal
when addressing the seemingly technical. The option to say no, the option to
halt a project, the option to admit to
the creation of dangerous and harmful
though well-intentioned tools must always be on the table.

The big question looming over
Dana-Farber shift: What’s the
best way to treat cancer?

Investor eyed Boston. Then he considered
his workers’ housing costs.

D

ana-Farber Cancer Institute is one
of the country’s crown jewels of
cancer care, providing effective
treatment and groundbreaking research. That’s why its decision to
end its quarter-century affiliation with Brigham
and Women’s Hospital to build a freestanding cancer center in partnership with Beth Israel Lahey
Health deserves careful scrutiny from state regulators.
The most important question is what the new
affiliation will mean for patient care. Will a freestanding cancer center, rather than one integrated
into a hospital, improve or harm the treatment
provided to cancer patients?
Secondarily, what would the new partnership
mean for health care costs? Mass General
Brigham and Dana-Farber both have some of the
highest health care costs in the state, and the effects of the proposed change on costs are unclear.
The shift would not occur until 2028, but the
review process began last week. Dana-Farber on
Tuesday submitted a Determination of Need application to the Department of Public Health,
which will analyze whether the proposal is in the
interests of public health. The department will also have to grant the proposed new facility a hospital license and approve architectural plans for the
$1.675 billion, 688,100-square-foot inpatient hospital building. Separately, Massachusetts’ Health
Policy Commission will review the proposed partnership and most likely conduct a cost and market
impact review.
State regulators should carefully probe the proposal’s details and make those findings publicly
available as Massachusetts’ health care behemoths
determine how — and if — the deal should proceed.
Mass General Brigham and Dana-Farber split
because they disagreed about what the future of
cancer care should look like. Mass General
Brigham officials tout the existing model of cancer
care provided within a general hospital and argue
that the future of cancer care, as patients live longer and new treatments are developed, requires
access to top subspecialists. In that model, DanaFarber employs medical oncologists while
Brigham and Women’s Hospital provides the related specialty care — imaging, surgery, diagnostics, psychiatry, and the huge range of specialists
involved in caring for a patient with cancer, who
may also be dealing with other diseases and treatment side effects. Patients have access to an emergency department and intensive care unit.
Mass General Brigham CEO Anne Klibanski
told the Globe editorial board that the two institutions have created a network of “seamless, integrated cancer care” that provides holistic treatment by combining Dana-Farber’s cancer expertise with the high-level medical care offered at
Brigham and Women’s, all in the same building.
(Brigham and Women’s Hospital officials say they
will continue providing cancer care after DanaFarber leaves.)
Dana-Farber and Beth Israel Lahey Health officials say their vision is a dedicated cancer hospital,
where the nurses, radiologists, cardiologists, and
other specialists — in addition to the oncologists
— are all focused specifically on cancer care. “All
we do is cancer. When you do cancer, you see
things others might miss,” Dana-Farber CEO Laurie Glimcher told the editorial board. Even as
many forms of traditional cancer treatment like
chemotherapy have shifted to outpatient settings,
Glimcher said a standalone inpatient hospital will
be needed as more complex cancer treatments
that require inpatient stays are developed, like
stem cell transplants and CAR T-cell therapy. The
department’s application to DPH argues that
there is a need for additional inpatient bed capacity since hospital bottlenecks today mean cancer
patients often get stuck waiting in the Brigham
emergency department for a bed to open up. The
new building would be adjacent to and physically
connected by a bridge to Beth Israel Deaconess
Medical Center in the Longwood Medical Area.
There would be no change to Dana-Farber’s current outpatient care and regional sites.
Glimcher compared the proposed center to
some of the country’s other top cancer hospitals —
the standalone Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer

Center in New York and the University of Texasaffiliated MD Anderson Cancer Center.
That said, Dana-Farber will be relying on Beth
Israel Lahey Health to provide many specialty services, similar to the way it relies on Brigham and
Women’s today. Both institutions today offer highquality health care. One area for regulators to
scrutinize will be what the concrete differences in
the relationship and the care would be, other than
the building of a new physical space.
While health care should focus primarily on
patient care, it is also a business. Health care costs
have long been sky-high in Boston, with Mass
General Brigham charging some of the highest
prices. This becomes a problem when it causes
consumer copays and insurance premiums to skyrocket.
Dana-Farber insists the merger will lower
costs. Kevin Tabb, CEO of Beth Israel Lahey
Health, said, “The cost of care for cancer patients
will be lower than what it is currently in the arrangement between the Brigham and Dana-Farber.”
Today Brigham and Women’s Hospital has
prices that are higher than Beth Israel Lahey
Health, though part of the reason for that difference is a temporary price cap Beth Israel Lahey
Health agreed to in a settlement with the attorney
general’s office as part of the approval of the merger between Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
and Lahey Health System, which will expire in
2026. How Dana-Farber’s commercial insurance
prices compare to prices at Mass General Brigham
and Beth Israel Lahey Health is hard to analyze
because the publicly available data does not fully
account for the different patient populations at a
cancer center compared to a general hospital.
What is clear is that beds under Dana-Farber’s
license get higher Medicare rates because of the
“PPS exemption.” In the early 1980s, in response
to rising health care costs, Congress decided hospitals would be paid through a prospective payment system. That means a hospital is paid a certain sum of money for each patient with appendicitis, for example, regardless of how long that
person is hospitalized. The goal was to incentivize
hospitals to provide efficient care. Certain specialty hospitals were exempt, including 11 cancer hospitals that were written into the law, one of which
is Dana-Farber. The logic was that there was insufficient data at the time to know how to accurately
compensate a small number of hospitals serving
medically complex patients.
The Government Accountability Office in 2015
estimated that Medicare was paying these cancer
hospitals on average 42 percent more for inpatient
care and 37 percent more for outpatient care than
it would pay a teaching hospital for the same services to a similar group of patients, though reimbursement rates varied for each hospital. A 2019
study in JAMA Internal Medicine suggested that
PPS-exempt hospitals have better outcomes than
general hospitals but similar outcomes to other
cancer-focused centers that have a designation
from the National Cancer Institute but are not
paid the higher rate.
Today Dana-Farber has the PPS exemption for
30 beds under its license, but most of its patients
are in beds licensed by Brigham and Women’s
Hospital. If Dana-Farber opens a freestanding
cancer center, Glimcher said it would seek to
make all 300 hospital beds eligible for the higher
Medicare reimbursement rate.
While the PPS exemption is a federal issue,
state regulators can and should examine all issues
related to pricing and provide an independent
analysis on whether the switch would increase or
lower costs.
All the institutions involved are major employers and nationally renowned care providers; most
states should be so lucky to have to contend with
the regulatory questions raised by the move. Still,
with a large amount of money and prestige at play,
expect a serious fight between the state’s biggest
health care system, Mass General Brigham, and its
quickly expanding rival, Beth Israel Lahey Health,
as the Dana-Farber deal is scrutinized over whether the move will help or harm both patients and
costs. State regulators must play an independent
role to ensure that the winners in the end are the
patients who need high-quality cancer care.

Re “Beyond the gilded gate” (Spotlight Team, Page A1, Oct. 22):
Born in Dorchester, I grew up in Milton and attended Pierce
Middle School, where I was class president, and Milton Academy, where I edited the newspaper. I even had a paper route for a
rival paper.
I moved away in 2007 to go to college, became wealthy beyond my wildest imagination thanks to smart tech investing,
and now split my time among California, Texas, and Northern
Virginia.
My aging parents still live in Milton even after many of my
friends’ parents cashed in and moved away. I beg my parents to
sell their sprawling home and move to something more affordable, more manageable, but where would they go? They’ve lived
in Milton for 30 years.
I could afford Milton just fine. In fact, were I to return to Milton, I’d undoubtedly be among the 1 percent, if not .01 percent,
of the town’s residents. And, candidly, it’s not that good a deal
even if you are rich. You don’t get the kind of amenities you do
elsewhere for the price.
Wistful for my youth, I looked recently at investing in Boston
and building a genetics lab. But what of my employees, whose
salary would be consumed by one of the priciest real estate markets in the nation? I couldn’t do that to them or their families.
Thanks, but I’ll keep investing in the rest of America, where
the topic of conversation is building the future, not boomers
talking about high real estate prices before they move to Florida
or the morgue.
Build as many houses in this area as you can as quickly as
you can. There’s no God-given right to price out the next generation.

City and town centers could be for teens
what the mall used to be
Thomas Lee expresses nostalgia for the days spent with his
teenage friends at the mall and regrets that “malls have lost
their place at the center of youth culture” (“Requiem for a
mall: a loss for teen culture,” Page A1, Oct. 22). I can relate to
the former, having visited, as a teen, one of the many bustling,
bright, and colorful malls of New Jersey. But are malls — essentially temples to consumerism and its social and environmental consequences — ideal places for kids to come of age,
encouraging the belief that life is only about shopping?
Malls, though designed to serve the suburbs, were the
death knell to many downtowns in the 1950s and ’60s. Lee bemoans that today, in place of real human contact, the internet
provides an ersatz meeting place of choice for teens, but he
suggests no alternative. Here’s one: Our revitalized city and
town centers offer a richer, broader environment, where stores
are intermixed with parks, dynamic urban spaces, all styles of
architecture, galleries, museums, religious establishments,
etc. Even without actively engaging with all of these attractions, just knowing that they exist offers a young person a
more realistic panorama of life than any shopping mall can
provide.
The mall of yesterday no longer exists? Good riddance.

Constantly insulting boys
does not serve the sexes
It’s good to hear there are parents like Andrew Reiner who are
pointing out that insulting boys constantly is not any way to
bring equality (or good relations) to the sexes (“The trouble
with boys isn’t boys,” Ideas, Oct. 22). The fact that feminists
seldom condemn such behavior is one reason many young
women don’t call themselves feminists.
Also, teachers, of all people, should be condemning the lazy
use of clichés and negative political jargon and slang, such as
“toxic masculinity,” as much as possible, never mind using it
themselves. Defamation and scapegoating are not civilized.
Nor do they promote intellectualism.
Last but not least, whether in school or in informal gatherings, it’s time to realize that “old-fashioned” manners and decorum are not obsolete, for boys or girls. This applies even
when it comes to writing that is printed on clothing, regardless of the age of the wearer. This would help society tremendously.
As Judith Martin (a.k.a. Miss Manners) wrote: “Miss Manners is for freedom of speech for all people, but believes that it
is time that clothes shut up.”

A House speaker at last —
progress of a sort
Let’s admit progress where we can find it.
Yes, the Republicans just elected a speaker of the House in
Mike Johnson who has denied the 2020 election result (as did a
majority of the Republican House members).
But through a total of 19 ballots for speaker since Jan. 3, four
of them since Kevin McCarthy was ousted this month, no one
questioned the result or claimed widespread fraud.
That’s progress.

Why they rip down the
‘Kidnapped from Israel’ fliers
B y J e f f Ja c o b y

A

cat from my neighborhood has gone
missing. Her owner has distributed fliers around the area, asking residents to
keep an eye out for her. “LOST CAT,” it
says in big letters beneath a photo of Coco, a beautiful animal with fluffy white
fur and blue eyes.
Whether the fliers will lead to Coco’s recovery I don’t
know. But of one thing I am certain: No one walking
through the neighborhood will be grabbing all the posters and stuffing them in the trash. Even people who dislike cats wouldn’t be that callous and mean.
But ever since fliers calling attention to something far
more terrible than a missing cat — the plight of the more
than 200 hostages abducted from Israel by Hamas on
Oct. 7 — began going up on telephone poles, subway
walls, utility boxes, and worksite fences in cities around
the world, a startling number of people have been eager
to tear them down. Individuals have been filmed destroying or defacing the posters in Boston, London, Miami, New York, Melbourne, Philadelphia, Richmond,
Ann Arbor, and Los Angeles.
There is no possible justification for such heartlessness. The whole purpose of the fliers is to heighten
awareness of the Israeli (and other) civilians kidnapped
by the Hamas terror squads — to put names and faces to
the hostages, all with one goal: to bring them back
home. How can a project so heartfelt and humane trigger such a poisonous response?
The posters were the brainchild of two Israeli artists,
Nitzan Mintz and Dede Bandaid, who were visiting New
York when Hamas carried out its bloodbath. Aching to
help in some way, they drew on their art backgrounds to
design the eye-catching fliers. Each is topped with the
word “KIDNAPPED” in large white letters on an orange
background; below that heading is the name, age, nationality, and photo of one of the hostages, who range in
age from 3 months to 85 years.
The posters went viral overnight. Within days they
were appearing everywhere, a powerful symbol of Israel’s anguish and of the desperate yearning for the captives’ safe return. Then came the backlash. “Within minutes or hours of going up,” reported the New York Jewish
Week, “many of them had been partially ripped off the
subway station’s walls, tears obscuring the victims’ faces
or details about their lives, while others were defaced
with marker or surrounded by messages such as “Free
Palestine.” On a poster of two of the youngest hostages,
3-year-old twins Emma and Yuli Cunio, Hitler mustaches were drawn on the girls’ faces. On other posters, the
words ”Lies” or “Actors” were scrawled.
Those ripping down or damaging the signs are by no
means abashed about doing so. Some have filmed themselves attacking the fliers and posted the video online.
Others, when asked why they were trashing the pictures
of civilian hostages, have yelled about “genocide,” declared their support for “Palestinian civilians,” claimed
the fliers contained “inaccurate information,” or simply
cursed out the person filming them.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is intensely controversial and generates great emotion on both sides. But
these assaults on the “Kidnapped” posters have nothing
to do with the merits of the dispute. The sole purpose of
the fliers is to emphasize the humanity of the innocent
hostages seized by Hamas (many of whom, as it happens, were peace activists deeply committed to ArabIsraeli coexistence). What drives the people ripping
down the posters or adding Hitler mustaches to the pictures is a pathological need to deny the humanity of
those kidnapped Jews.

A core principle of antisemites in all times and places
is that Jews are not fully human and are never innocent.
A thousand years ago, Jews were slaughtered by Crusaders for being satanic Christ-killers who consumed the
blood of children; a century ago Hitler preached that
they were subhumans who polluted the racial purity of
Aryan Europe. Today the Jewish state is accused of committing the demonic crimes of genocide and apartheid.
The poison never changes, only the vial it comes in.
The “Kidnapped” fliers are intolerable to the haters
because they so urgently challenge the antisemitic paradigm. They make it vividly clear that in the war between
barbarism and civilization, between oppressor and oppressed, it is Jews who are under attack. That infuriates
those whose worldview revolves around the certainty

sor at Cornell, for example, told a crowd he was “exhilarated” by what Hamas had done.
In the wake of terrible mass shootings like the one
that took at least 18 lives and convulsed Lewiston,
Maine, on Wednesday, grieving family and friends often
display pictures of their loved ones. It is a way of reinforcing the humanity of the victims and of evoking compassion from passersby. Who, seeing such a display,
would destroy or vandalize it? Some norms are so ingrained as to be all but inviolable. When someone puts
up an image of a missing or murdered child, no decent
person rips it down.
But antisemitism has the power to override every
norm and decent impulse.
On Reddit, a commenter explained that coming

that Israel and its supporters are the victimizers. The
outpouring of sympathy for Jews kidnapped by Palestinian terrorists — and the moral force of that sympathy —
is anathema to them.
That explains as well why the atrocities committed
on Oct. 7 immediately triggered so many vehement
public demonstrations in support of the Palestinians.
Precisely because the massacre and abductions had
been so unspeakably horrific, it was necessary to reinforce the narrative of Jewish villainy. At times, denunciations of Israel gave way to naked antisemitsm. At a proPalestinian rally in Sydney, a chorus of voices chanted
“Gas the Jews! F*** the Jews!” Others expressed their
hatred by rejoicing in the slaughter of Israelis. A profes-

across a “Kidnapped” flier made him feel not empathy
with the hostage, but “the exact opposite.” It filled him
with “white hot rage,” he wrote, and he decided that
“ripping it down and tearing it to shreds is the only
thing I can do.”
The ripped-up fliers are one more indication of the
rising tide of antisemitism in America and the West. A
“white hot rage” is building. I, for one, cannot shake the
conviction that Jews are at graver risk than they have
been in decades, and not only in southern Israel.

Not a hate crime, but still an act of hate
By Renée Graham

W

ith national news last Saturday
that Samantha Woll, a synagogue
president, was found fatally
stabbed outside her Detroit home
came the assumption that her killing could be a
hate crime.
In recent years, antisemitic harassment, vandalism, and violence have steadily increased
worldwide, according to the Anti-Defamation
League (ADL). From 2021 to 2022, there was a 35
percent spike in antisemitic acts nationwide. That
followed a 34 percent increase between 2020 and
2021, an average of seven antisemitic incidents
per day, according to ADL officials.
Then came Oct. 7 and Hamas’s horrific terrorist attack on Israel that left more than 1,400 Israeli
civilians and soldiers slaughtered and more than
200 people taken hostage. A feared increase in antisemitism has been realized. As of Oct. 23, ADL
recorded 312 anti-Jewish acts nationwide, nearly
five times more than during the corresponding period last year.
But days after Woll’s death, Detroit police said
that her killing was not a hate crime.
“We believe there are no other groups or anyone else at risk in regards to this particular incident,” Detroit Police Chief James E. White said at a
press conference two days after Woll’s death. “We
believe this incident was not motivated by antisemitism and that this suspect acted alone.”
Almost as quickly as that press conference ended, so did national attention on Woll’s killing.
With the Israel-Hamas war continuing to escalate, the acrimonious, finally concluded search for
a House speaker, and a mass shooting in Lewiston,
Maine, that left at least 18 people dead, Woll’s killing has slipped from headlines and newscasts, except in her native Detroit. It’s as if, without a con-

Family, friends, and members of the community gathered at the funeral of Samantha Woll,
the president of the Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue, in Oak Park, Mich., on Oct. 22.

nection to larger world events, her death is viewed
with more mundanity than alarm.
As of Thursday, police had yet to make any arrest or publicly announce a person or persons of
interest in connection to Woll’s death.
Woll, 40, was president of the Isaac Agree
Downtown Detroit Synagogue. She was also involved in state Democratic politics as a former
aide to Representative Elissa Slotkin, of Michigan,
and she worked as a campaign staffer on Michigan

Attorney General Dana Nessel’s reelection campaign.
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Nessel said she was‚ “shocked, saddened, and horrified,” by Woll’s death. “Sam was as kind a person
as I’ve ever known,” she said. “She was driven by
her sincere love of her community, state, and
country. Sam truly used her faith and activism to
create a better place for everyone.”
At Woll’s funeral, Rabbi Asher Lopatin, execu-

tive director of the Jewish Community Relations
Council/AJC, said that the diversity of the mourners reflected Woll’s commitment to reaching out to
all corners of her community.
“We have in this room Muslims and Hindus,
Catholics and Christians and Jews, and all kinds of
races, and everyone loves Sam and was affirmed
by Sam,” Lopatin said.
But a woman beloved by many was not safe in
her own community from the violence that seems
increasingly to target women. If Woll wasn’t the
victim of antisemitism, she may well have been
victim of another kind of hate crime. Once there
was a notable gender gap between male and female victims of violent crime. Now, according to
federal crime statistics, last year marked the first
time since 2018 that more women nationwide
were victims of violent crime than men. Between
2021 and 2022, violence against women jumped
31 percent.
That increase was driven by domestic and intimate partner violence during what UN Women, a
United Nations entity dedicated to gender equality, calls a “shadow pandemic” of violence against
women during the height of COVID-19 lockdowns
There’s no evidence that Woll was a victim of
intimate-partner violence. At his press conference,
White said he was “not prepared to share” what
police had learned about “the relationship between [Woll] and the suspect as of yet.”
In a time of deep turmoil and recrimination
driven by war, there is undoubtedly comfort in a
conclusion that Woll’s being Jewish is not connected to her death. But in a culture where women can
rarely feel safe, the killing of this beloved woman
feels like an act of hate.

ould you ever sell your child? Your best
friend? Your true love? I was sure I
wouldn’t, either — until I sold my boat.
She was my first boat, and she was
magnificent — 14 spirited feet of pure beauty. Wood, an
antique, treasured: That was my Blue Jay. True enough
that when she needed work, I cursed her and swore I
would leave her at the bottom of Long Island Sound. I should have called her
Trouble, but her name was Weenies.
I had to sell her. For five winters, my
wife and I rented a beach house in Milford, Conn. In the summer, when the
rents for a week soar like the temperature
in August, we became nomads and traveled. My wife has freedom thanks to the
school system, and I take my consulting
practice wherever I go. Fortunately, our
landlady allowed me to moor the boat in
front of her house all summer long, and
lately we’d been staying close so we could
visit. But our nomadic life was coming to
an end, and we’d be staying somewhere
year-round where we’d start having our
own things like furniture and a mower
and a mortgage and maybe even kids.
Wherever we were going, I couldn’t imagine there’d be a place for Weenies. She
needs the wide-open Sound and wind
making her rigging hum tunes of joy and
liberation. She needs water to expand her
wood and to heal gaps. How could I let
her rot inland?
The first couple who looked at her,
newlyweds, snapped her up. I couldn’t blame them. Everyone loved her, even my wife, who hates sailing. As we
walked around her in the garage, I told the couple about
the night of the July 3 storm, two summers ago, when
Weenies was swamped and had to be rebuilt. I told the
husband that he was going to have to learn to buy the
good wood and the copper screws, to sand and paint
and use fiberglass.
As I spoke, I thought of another storm that came a
few weeks later, when the mast broke free and Weenies
was damaged again. Even my wife looked at her broken
frame and cried. But I rebuilt her and reinforced her
and sailed her and, like a fool, I left her out in the cold
last winter instead of garaging her. That bitter, harsh
winter burst her ribs. Who knew winter could be so cruel? So in spring, I rebuilt her a third time.
There are more than 150 screws on the bottom of a
Blue Jay, and I replaced each one. With all that twisting,
one gets close to a boat. I guess, while sanding her, I
didn’t really have to stroke her as often as I did.
She taught me a lot. I learned about schools of fish

that roam the waters off Milford in August, chased onto
the beaches by the big blues. I learned about birds that
fly in from the Arctic in the spring, flapping their stout
brown wings less than a foot above the water, out beyond the shore, where only sailors can see them. She
taught me to read wind as it sweeps across waves, so I’d
be ready to adjust my course or let out my sails to stay
true to my destination, or shift my weight just to stay
afloat. More than any poem I ever read, she taught me
about the beauty of nature.
She carried me to places of aesthetic wonder that expanded my mind and left me trembling at the arrogance
of the puny landlocked imagination.
One evening in late August, I stayed out too long,
and as the wind eased, I slowly drifted back to shore,
alone, beholding in dumb wonder the constantly changing light as the sun set beyond the shore. I’ll never forget
the dazzling, painfully transitory reflections of that
Turner sky.

OCTOBER 29, 2023

I offered to teach the couple who bought Weenies
how to sail. I wanted them to know her quirks, such as
how, like all Blue Jays, she does not point directly into
the wind when you free the rudder and main and jib.
But they weren’t interested.
“I’ve been sailing since I was 12, and now that we
moved back near the water, it’s time for a boat again,”
the wife said, and I felt a bit embarrassed. I had learned
to sail only three years earlier, and, as a kid, I had never
vacationed near water or anyplace else.
“You should cover her in bad weather,” I
said. “Just pull the canvas over the cockpit.”
The wife said, “She’ll need a name.”
“Her name’s Weenies,” I said. “You can’t
go changing names. That’s bad luck. You
have to take the name with the oars and the
second set of sails.”
“My dad had lots of boats when we were
growing up,” she said, “And we always gave
them new names. We went out on them and
had great times.”
“You’ll have great times, too,” I said, and
told them how ideal the boat was for two.
I asked the husband to picture himself in
the boat on a July afternoon when the sand
sizzles, his wife stretched back in his arms.
“With your hand on the tiller, you feel the
water trembling. You watch the wind on the
waves, alert to sudden shifts. You chart a
course for only the two of you. You smell
salt air mixing with the scent of your wife’s
suntan lotion. Now and then, as you hug the
shore, your nose stiffens with a whiff of barbecue. That’s what it’s like. You feel your
wife’s hair tickling your face. When you
come about, she’ll close her eyes, facing the
blinding brilliance of the sun. But not you. You’ll learn
to look into it. It’s such a sensation. You’ll feel close to
the sky and the gulls and . . . ”
“She’s the captain,” the husband said, and chuckled.
“I’m the crew.”
“I can come and help put her in the water,” I said.
“That won’t be necessary,” he said, watching his wife
expertly hitch the trailer to their SUV. He handed me a
check.
“If there are any leaks, or if you have any problems,
you’ll call, won’t you?” I asked.
They left quickly. I headed to the back of the house
and the beach. Kicking up sand, I drifted to waves rolling in and gazed out on the water I no longer could
breach.
Then my phone buzzed. A man wondered if he could
come by to look at the Blue Jay.
Saddened, I said, “She’s gone.”

acclaim she deserves, that she was never mentioned in the same breath as the boys — Bob Dylan, Bruce
Springsteen, Pete Townshend — despite being as gifted and
majestic as all of them,
if not more so.

So much to celebrate as Mitchell turns 80

Light.” I’d have separated out the many
Jonis, starting with the early, trill-filled,
and somewhat gothic Joni and then the
Joni who was so emotionally naked on
“Blue” in 1971, perhaps the most celebrated Joni, the Joni of radical honesty
and wisdom beyond her years. There
are mid-career and later Jonis, including the one who introduced jazz flourishes on “For the Roses” and “Court and
Spark,” and the one whose increasingly
long lines of lyrics, so revealing, cinematic, and formally tight, fused with
her colorful tunings and crisp guitar
work on the masterful “Hejira.” There is
the post-autobiographical Joni, too,
whose social criticism, from “Dog Eat
Dog” in 1985 on, was as unsparing as
her early romantic candor.
In that piece, I’d also have gotten into the industry sexism and manipulation Mitchell faced down every step of
the way, starting in her mid-1960s club
years. She fought for full control over
her releases despite the male execs trying to commodify and dismiss her, and
she resisted the pressure for more radio
hits before and after her most popular
single, “Help Me,” a deceptively simple
song of seduction and fear, love, and
flight. “An angry man is just an angry
man,” she sang knowingly in a 1998
song about the business, “But an angry
woman/ Bitch!” And all along, Mitchell
refused to fit herself into neat, easily
marketed categories, blending folk and
rock with jazz and world music long before her contemporaries — “The Jungle
Line” and “Dreamland” still astonish in
their exploratory power — and losing
her less musically flexible fans in the
process. Her “For the Roses” takes
down the creativity-crushing music
business as stingingly as any song on
the topic.
But, of course, everything regarding
Mitchell has changed since 2015, the
year she suffered an aneurysm that left
her learning to walk and talk again. That
was the beginning of what has become a
years-long group affirmation of Mitchell’s brilliance, a sustained release of
long-withheld cultural acknowledgment
that Joni Mitchell is indeed one of the
most important voices of the past century of singer-songwriting. It has been a
collective embrace of songs — “Both
Sides, Now,” “River,” “A Case of You,”
“The Circle Game,” “Big Yellow Taxi,”
“Woodstock” — that have become clas-

sics, and of lesser-known songs — “Coyote,” “Amelia,” “Down to You,” “The
Same Situation,” “Moon at the Window,”
“The Magdalene Laundries” — that deserve to be. From the startling portraiture that is “A Strange Boy” to the vocally
stunning “The Silky Veils of Ardor,” there
are so many gems still waiting to be discovered by the more recent influx of
fans.
The outpouring of love and esteem
has been a twist on and a validation of
Mitchell’s own much-quoted lyric,
“Don’t it always seem to go that you
don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone”
— in this case till she’s almost gone. On
“Turbulent Indigo” in 1994, Mitchell
had framed herself as Vincent van
Gogh, the artist unappreciated until after his death — but here it was at her
doorstep, a sunny spotlight shining
brightly on her, as if the world had finally caught up with her and her innovations. As she has continued to heal, the
momentum of support, and the recognition that, without Mitchell’s pioneering there’d be no Taylor Swift, among
others, have been unstoppable and
sweet, leading to a series of awards and
tribute concerts including a Kennedy

Center Honor and the Library of Congress’s Gershwin Prize.
One of the surprises since 2015 has
been Mitchell’s willingness to accept all
of this belated reverence. She’d always
been guarded about “getting a taste for
worship,” and she never withheld her
contempt for those artists who sell out
and submit to the “star-maker machinery behind the popular song.” In 1998,
she wrote “accolades and honors/ One
false move and you’re a goner” in “Taming the Tiger,” a song written in disdain
and bitterness by “a runaway from the
record biz.”
But something has shifted, it seems,
in her readiness to be venerated, and,
approaching 80, she has been completely there for it. With the encouragement
of her Biggest Fan and younger ally,
singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile, Mitchell is now more public than she has been
since the 1970s, singing along with her
own songs in various concerts led by
Carlile. Early on, a perfectionist, she
wouldn’t have performed in unideal circumstances or with an inexact voice;
Bostonians may remember her shortened concert on the Common in 1983
when the lighting, staging, and milling

audience weren’t to her liking. But these
days, she is getting swept up in the spirit, even allowing the release of her rough
old demos, studio doodlings, and live
performances in an eye-opening archival series whose third box set, “Joni
Mitchell Archives — Vol. 3: The Asylum
Years (1972-1975),” just came out.
I was at that abbreviated 1983 Boston show, and in my loyalty to her I forgave. For me, she has loomed large
since my teens as a liberating figure
and, when it comes to understanding
art, a teacher of sorts. It’s remarkable
just how formative pop culture and artists can be, how they can be so essential
in the development of our identities. I
certainly found plenty of models and
obsessions on TV shows, in movies, and
in books, but none spoke so directly to
me and swept me away as thoroughly as
Mitchell and her albums.
In her lyrics, I found the kind of intense scrutiny and yet non-judgmental
understanding that validated my own
point of view. For some people in my
life, I seemed too sensitive as a kid, too
watchful, too interior. But in Joni’s
songs, I heard an endorsement of my
sentience, an assurance that there was

nothing pathological about paying close
attention, that indeed it is a strength.
Joni made sensitivity into a superpower, with lyrics whose observations about
love and life were profound, truthful,
and not always rosy. I saw courage in
her desire and drive to name what
many preferred not to see.
That connection to her led to a
broader understanding of what art can
do, and of what art is. I valued the
words and phrases she wrote as a
“chicken scratching for my immortality,” which she calls herself in the song
“Hejira” — but then I also saw how the
music served everything she was getting across lyrically, in the way the
words of a poem are supported by meter and rhyme, or the absence of them.
The intimacy between the instrumentation, the melodies, and her lyrics is
stunning as her albums became more
sophisticated in the mid-1970s, so that
her words of inquiry were backed by
her “chords of inquiry,” as she has called
them. The form and the content of her
songs were as fused as they could be.
I learned about the charge of expressive singing from the 1970s Mitchell,
too, marveling at how she invested her
words — every single one of them —
with specific feelings as she sang them,
so that there was no distance between
her and the lyrics. She tells the story of a
tryst in “Coyote” as an actress might,
just as her pleas for conversation on
“Talk to Me” sound like a person filling
up an uncomfortable silence. Her
breathy refusal to love on the faceted
gem that is “Court and Spark” is carefully tinged with regret, while on “Help
Me,” she giddily endows each iteration
of its oft-repeated line “Didn’t it feel
good?” with a different meaning. Her
committed delivery and thought-out
phrasing brought her songs home.
I’m far from alone in my passion for
Joni Mitchell; that has been made loud
and clear of late. She has been a force in
many people’s lives, as a guiding light,
as a superior artist, as an example of
persistence and professional integrity.
Finally, her place in the canon is assured. As a kid, though, my relationship
to her felt like a one-on-one connection,
a deep private dialogue, a mentorship
and a long-term friendship, and to be
sure, part of her does pour out of me in
these lines from time to time.

Why When Steven and Isabel Darwin closed
their cafes in 2022, four former employees decided to turn one location into a cooperative.
The new establishment opened in early September.
PHOTOS BY JONATHAN WIGGS/GLOBE STAFF

The back story Circus Cooperative has four
worker-owners, including Caleb Zedek, Kelly
Hunter, and Bartholomew “Bic” Cass. The
group (one prefers to stay behind the counter,
out of the limelight) kept the turquoise blue
walls, worn floorboards, and equipment from
the old Darwin’s, along with some of the popular sandwiches, such as the Mt. Auburn (turkey, Swiss, avocado). Darwin’s founders are
now the new group’s landlords. The model for
running a cafe as a co-op, says Cass, is not well
known in this region. He calls setups like the
one he’s part of “customer-facing worker cooperatives.”
What to eat There are several breakfast sandwiches made with eggs. At lunch, try one of
the new sandos: the Hummanist, pronounced
like hummus and filled with it, along with bell
pepper, sun-dried tomatoes, and cucumbers;
the Ngo Van, named for the Vietnamese activist, and layered with ginger-marinated tofu
and vegan slaw; Gochujang Chicken Salad
with housemade pickles, just renamed Oldboy, from the 2003 Korean thriller. Sandwich
breads used to be thick slabs of sourdough
and seven-grain (both were soft and squishy),
but recently changed to Nashoba Brook Bakery loaves from West Concord. Nutella Cruffin
from Flourhouse in Newton is outstanding, as
is the bakery’s chocolate chunk cookie. Apple
Bottom Muffins are also in the case this season.

What to drink High-quality coffees from
Equal Exchange (also a co-op) and teas from
local wholesaler and retailer MEM.
The takeaway Service is always noticeably
better at shops where the owner is taking your
order or calling your name to say it’s ready.
This crew couldn’t be nicer. They’re using the
name Circus because it feels hectic every single minute, says Cass, as any new business

would. Maximum seating for the cafe is 36,
which includes two couches. New hires will be
on track to become owners after six months,
so the original quartet has been able to attract
good candidates. There is no website, but it’s
coming, along with in-house baking, a merch
corner, and board games. The cafe will expand
its library area. It feels good here and some
customers look settled in for the duration. You

CHANGES: In sad Kendall
Square news, Commonwealth (11 Broad Canal
Way) signs off after a decade in business, says chef
Steve “Nookie” Postal.
“It’s been a wild 10-year
ride, and it’s been so wonderful and amazing to be
part of all your birthday parties, weddings, dinners,
business lunches, pingpong tournaments…” he
wrote in a farewell Instagram missive. Commonwealth was renowned for
its kid-friendly New Year’s

with single-digit-age kids
were encouraged to party
guilt-free (until a reasonable hour). Pay your respects by Saturday, Nov. 4.
Postal, Fenway Park’s
onetime executive chef, is
busy running several Revival Cafés throughout the
Boston area. He plans a Watertown location for January
and a Lexington branch in
March. He’ll also open

Take our quiz to see where
you fall on the spectrum
of Stephen King fandom

c. The Comet
d. Silver
7) A lot of people die in King’s books, but his deadliest novel by far is “The Stand.” Now widely regarded as one of the best post-apocalyptic narratives of all time, “The Stand” is a story in which a
percentage of the population survives a pandemic.
What percentage of humanity dies in “The Stand”?
a. 99.4
b. 98
c. 50
d. 99.9

By Gabino Iglesias
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

What is spooky season without Stephen King,
the grand master of horror himself? From “Pet Sematary” to “Carrie” to “Misery,” King’s novels are
synonymous with apocalypse, possession, and
pig’s blood-soaked teens blowing up the high
school. Even if you’re just a casual reader of the
genre, you have undoubtedly at some point devoured a Stephen King story. Anywhere you fall on
the spectrum, this quiz is for you.

8) Let’s do an easy one! One of the most memorable characters in King’s “Pet Sematary” isn’t a human; it’s the cat that comes back from the dead.
Said cat is named after a famous political figure ...
from which country?
a. United States
b. France
c. England
d. Italy

QUESTIONS
1) In “Salem’s Lot,” the Marsten House overlooks
the town of Jerusalem’s Lot. The house is an evil
presence that sits above the town like “a ruined
king.” But the Marsten House only became the
Marsten House when someone moved into it, and
that person no longer lives there. Who lived in the
Marsten House in “Salem’s Lot”?
a. Ben Mears
b. Hubert “Hubie” Marsten
c. Kurt Barlow and Richard Straker
d. Father Callahan
2) “Once upon a time, not so long ago, a monster
came to the small town of Castle Rock, Maine.”
That monster is Cujo, but Cujo was not always a
monster. In fact, Cujo, a St. Bernard in King’s
eponymous novel, is a lovable, friendly dog. That,
obviously, changes. What makes Cujo change into
an aggressive monster?
a. He gets bitten by a rabid dog during a fight
b. He gets bitten by a rabid bat when he sticks his
head in a small cave
c. He gets bitten by bats living in his owners’ attic
d. He gets sick from eating a dead rabbit
3) “Misery” is one of those King novels that is as
well-known a book as it is a movie. However, those
who have read the book and watched the movie
know that the novel is more brutal than the film.
Everyone remembers Annie Wilkes smashing Paul

ANSWERS
1) c. The Marsten House
has a long, complicated history. Its residents in King’s “Salem’s Lot,” published in 1975,
are Kurt Barlow, a vampire
and the main antagonist in
the novel, and Richard Straker,
his servant, who opens an antique shop in town, and does a
great job of keeping Barlow
hidden by claiming he is always away on business.
2) b. Early on in the novel,
the Cambers, Cujo’s owners,
are getting ready to go on two

Sheldon’s ankles with a sledgehammer in the movie. What does she do to Sheldon in the novel?
a. Wilkes uses a smaller hammer on his feet
b. Wilkes cuts his foot off with an ax
c. Wilkes smashes Sheldon’s knees with a bat
d. In the novel, Wilkes attacks his arms, not his legs
4) King has been working on a multiverse since
before it was the cool thing to do, and many of his
characters and places appear in different books.
John “Ace” Merrill, for example, is the main antagonist in the novella “The Body” — the very popular
adaptation was titled “Stand by Me” — and the
secondary antagonist in the novel “Needful
Things.” However, he also shows up in a short story. What is the title of the short story in which Ace
Merrill makes an appearance?
a. “Nona”
b. “Mrs. Todd’s Shortcut”
c. “The Man in the Black Suit”

separate trips when Cujo, a
sweet dog with a mellow temperament, chases a rabbit into
some fields. The dog sticks
his head into a small cave
while going after the rabbit
and a bat with rabies bites
him on the nose. Unfortunately, Cujo is not vaccinated.
3) b. While the film adaptation of “Misery” is hard to
watch for some people and
contains some harrowing
scenes, the book is far more
brutal. The sledgehammer
scene is undoubtedly hairraising, but in the novel, Wil-

kes does something far
worse: She takes an ax to
Sheldon’s ankle and then cauterizes his wound with a
blowtorch.
4) a. Both Ace Merrill and
Vern Tessio, whose brother is
part of Ace’s gang in “The
Body,” show up briefly in a
flashback in “Nona,” a story in
which an unnamed man in
prison recounts falling for a
woman named Nona.
5) d. The Shop is a government shadow organization
that shows up in a few of
King’s books and is always up

d. “Crouch End”
5) In King’s 1980 novel “Firestarter,” Andrew “Andy” and Charlene “Charlie” McGee are a father
and daughter running from a shady government
agency they call The Shop. The Shop, which is also
mentioned in “The Stand” and “The Tommyknockers,” is a government agency that studies the
paranormal. What is the real name of The Shop?
a. The US Department of Paranormal Phenomena
b. The Paranormal Research Agency
c. The Weyland-Yutani Corporation
d. The US Department of Scientific Intelligence
6) In “It,” there are several important inanimate
objects. One of those things is Bill Denbrough’s
bike. What’s the name of Bill’s bicycle, a 19591962 jaguar Mark IV Schwinn?
a. Bullet
b. Rocket

to no good. It was tasked with
ending the superflu in “The
Stand” and failed to do so,
leading to very bad things for
humanity. However, The Shop
is not known just as The Shop;
its official name is the The US
Department of Scientific Intelligence.
6) d. Way before the show
“Stranger Things” brought
them back in a wave of nostalgia, kids in bike gangs were
a staple in King novels, and no
other bike is as famous as
Bill’s Silver.
7) a. Between the epidem-

9) Few characters in King’s multiverse are as famous and memorable as Danny Torrance. From
his presence at the center of King’s “The Shining”
to his later appearance as an adult in “Doctor
Sleep,” almost every reader remembers Danny’s
nicknames — Danny, Doc, and Doctor Sleep — but
how many remember his middle name?
a. James
b. Alan
c. Anthony
d. Robert
10) Holly Gibney, another recurring character in
King’s work, appears for the first time in the novel
“Mr. Mercedes.” In that book, Holly is awkward,
riddled with anxiety, “never speaks above a mutter” and “seems to have a problem making eye
contact.” Holly takes meds for this. What medicine
does Holly take in the Billy Hodges Trilogy — “Mr.
Mercedes,” “Finders Keepers,” and “End of Watch”
— and in King’s most recent Gibney novel, “Holly”?
a. Paroxetine
b. Lexapro
c. Citalopram
d. Sertraline

ic and the ensuing collapse of
society, an estimated 99.4
percent of the human population perishes as a direct result
of the disease.
8) c. Church, the cat who
eventually became one of the
faces of the novel and then
the very successful film adaptation, was named after twotime prime minister of the
United Kingdom Sir Winston
Leonard Spencer Churchill.
9) c. Generations of readers remember Danny, and
probably everyone who
watched Stanley Kubrick’s

classic adaptation remember
the young actor Danny Lloyd
telling his mother “Danny’s
not here, Mrs. Torrance.” However, not many remember his
middle name, Anthony.
10) b. Holly makes her
first appearance on page 219
of “Mr. Mercedes” and readers soon learn she constantly
struggles to remember to
take her Lexapro, which helps
with her anxiety. As the character grows in subsequent
books, she keeps taking the
same medicine, including in
“Holly.”

At the ICA, a vital view into the Boston art scene
uFOSTER

Continued from Page N1

break down the myth that art worth
knowing only comes from elsewhere,
and help tell a different story: of a city
thriving with talent, much of it yet to
be discovered. Previous Foster Prizes
have helped nudge careers forward,
and brought other institutions along:
In 2021, the MFA’s “New Light” exhibition showcased work by prior Foster
Prize recipients Stephen Hamilton
(2017), Lavaughan Jenkins (2019), and
Eben Haines (2021).
The three 2023 winners — Cicely
Carew, Venetia Dale, and Yu-Wen Wu,
chosen by assistant curator Anni Pullagura, are currently featured in the
ICA’s Foster Prize exhibition, on view
through the end of the year. Shown in
mini solo shows, the trio shares an affection for creative re-use: Carew, with
the detritus of her studio; Dale, who
works with remnants in the disparate
materials of fabric and pewter; and
Wu, with castoffs collected and reassembled as emblematic of the complex
construction of immigrant identity.
All three are makers of intimate,
tactile things; Carew’s ebullient clusters of thin, colorful sheets of plastic
mesh and spray paint all but cry out to
be hugged. For a prize predicated on
geography, the happenstance harmonies are to be savored. They suggest a
coherent moment, an art scene in
broad conversation with itself, typically
a sign of a healthy creative ecosystem.
Another positive sign is the presence of all three outside the cozy confines of the Foster show. Dale’s work is
currently appearing in the Museum of
Fine Arts exhibition “Tender Loving
Care,” while work by Carew and Wu
has been installed in the urban landscape with public art projects through
the nonprofit Now + There (Carew at
the Prudential Center in 2021, Wu in
East Boston and at Boston City Hall in

2022 and 2023).
So is the Foster Prize meant to discover artists mostly unknown, or to
recognize artists already in the swing?
The answer, from what I can tell, is yes.
Awards are always some degree of arbitrary; best not to overthink it and embrace the opportunity. In this case, it’s
an experience of delicate wonder.
Carew’s sculptural pieces either dangle from the ceiling or are pinned to
the sky-blue walls. They’re inviting
knots of ebullient chaos, as good a metaphor of a productive studio as I can
imagine.
They feel like three-dimensional expressions of the vibrantly gestural abstract paintings that hang between and
beneath them. In the exhibition text,
Carew speaks of the hoary legacies of
Abstract Expressionism turgid and
overwrought, filtered through the effusive soundscapes of jazz, a mash-up
that claims space in American art history for Black culture. The sculptural
works in particular feel almost like a
literal translation: Exuberant and in-

viting, they’re material tufts of freespirited expression that you negotiate
with your body in physical space. They
are, quite literally, bundles of joy.
Dale and Wu offer less-elated experience. Dale’s work is underpinned by
the weighty practice of domestic life.
She gathers the de tritus of inner
worlds — orange peels and fabric

scraps, meals finished and tasks left incomplete — to cobble intimate snapshots of lives in progress. The material
counterpoints can be jarring. On one
wall, “Piecing Together: bless our
home go,” 2023, is composed of dozens
of fragments of embroidery she acquired online, dangling together like a
loose web of unfinished thoughts. On
the floor in front of it, “the gradual
gathering of something,” an ongoing
project begun in 2021, is a cluster of
three misshapen pewter orbs on a tufted wool rug. Their rough forms feel forlorn; they’re pieced together from pewter castings of orange peels left over
from feeding her own children. Dale
then assembles them into a make-do,
semi-coherent whole — an experience
to which any parent can relate.
Wu’s practice includes drawing,
painting, sculpture, and video; a large
projection of cascading dried tea leaves
occupies a whole wall of her space.
Called “The Accumulation of Dreams,”
2015/2023, it brings to life Wu’s ideas
around belonging and transformation

expressed in the work that otherwise
fills the room. Wu, who emigrated
from Taiwan, uses tea leaves as a symbol both of her Asian heritage and of
the transformation into her hybrid
American self. “Acculturation,” 2023, a
tidy grid of gilded leaves, tea included,
signifies the collective American dream
of prosperity that so many immigrants
come here to pursue.
But for me, her most poetic piece is
from her “States of Being” series, a
broad, experimental project of composing semi-finished objects from disparate parts. Made this year, “Object
5,” fuses the halves of a split rock back
together with a warbly vein of molten
gold, a lovely but tenuous seal between
parts. A symbol of the uneasy fusion of
identity in the immigrant experience, it
has more to say. Think about it and
wonder what, if anything, is holding
any of us together.

Music

GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

ndris Nelsons was still in his
first season as music director
of the Boston Symphony Orchestra when they initiated
one of the defining projects of his tenure.
It began with three Symphony Hall performances of Shostakovich’s Tenth Symphony in April 2015.
CLASSICAL
A high-water mark
NOTES
in 20 th-century symphonic music and one
of the composer’s most popular works,
the Tenth can shed light on the health of
a conductor-orchestra relationship. On
that score, the acclaim was all but unanimous. “Boston’s crackling account under Mr. Nelsons abounded in character,”
read a New York Times review of a Carnegie Hall performance. “All told, it’s
clear this is the right match of conductor and repertoire,” wrote Jeremy
Eichler in the Globe.
But the significance reached beyond
those performances. The Boston concerts were the kickoff of a planned recording of Shostakovich’s Symphonies 510 for the Deutsche Grammophon label
under the title “Shostakovich Under Stalin’s Shadow.” It was the kind of prestige
project that had been sorely lacking for
the BSO in the preceding several years.
The recording of the Tenth, drawn
from the Symphony Hall concerts, was
issued in the summer of 2015 and won
equally high praise. “The composer
could not be in better hands,” wrote Jeffrey Gantz in the Globe. After it won a
Grammy award, the project was expanded to include all 15 symphonies;
the concertos for cello, piano, and violin; and the opera “Lady Macbeth of
Mtsensk” (of which Nelsons and the
BSO will give two concert performances
in January).
Now it has reached a kind of milestone. The final volume of symphonies
— comprising Nos. 2, 3, 12, and 13 —
was released Oct. 20. It will eventually
be part of a massive box set documenting the entire Shostakovich venture.
Nelsons is in his 10th season as BSO
music director. Clean-shaven on the
cover of the first recording, he now
sports a thick beard. His podium movements, once dynamic and outsized,
have since been replaced by an economy of gesture, perhaps indicative of the
mutual familiarity between conductor
and orchestra.
But his affinity for Shostakovich’s mu-

sic is as strong as ever, as is the ferocity
he can elicit from it. That comes through
in the new recordings, and it was also evident during recent performances of the
two cello concertos with Yo-Yo Ma (also
part of the recording project).
He spoke about the composer in a
wide-ranging interview backstage at
Symphony Hall during a break in rehearsals for that program. Nelsons
touched on his experience learning the
composer’s music while growing up in
his native Latvia, which was still part of
the Soviet Union when he was born in
1978. The regime deemed virtually any
music that didn’t consistently hew to
the party line as suspect, but Shostakovich’s music was the exception, because “he was already considered a hero,” in the conductor’s words.
Nelsons also spoke about the musi-

No. 6.
cal sea change that happened after the
appearance of “Muddle Instead of Music,” an article (supposedly ordered by
Stalin) denouncing Shostakovich’s music that appeared in Pravda in 1936.
From the Fifth Symphony onward,
Shostakovich’s embrace of modernism
is reined in, and the relationship of the
music to the political regime becomes —
by design — far more difficult to parse.
“He realizes that one man can influence the rest of his life. I think he started, subconsciously, a war with Stalin.
That’s why we started to record with the
war symphonies,” Nelsons said, referring to Symphonies 5-10. Shostakovich

famously called the Fifth “a Soviet artist’s reply to just criticism,” and the sincerity of that title has been debated ever
since. Like many others, Nelsons sees
this superficial effort to toe the party
line as “a way for him to survive.”
“It was a matter of life and death,” he
added.
Repeatedly during our conversation,
Nelsons returned to the composer’s final symphonies — especially the deathhaunted No. 14 and the enigmatic 15th.
There is a new kind of darkness in Shostakovich’s language, due in part, Nelsons said, to the composer’s recognition
of his own mortality. But he thinks it also came from the composer realizing
that, even though Stalin — his deadly
nemesis — was gone, “There is still evil
in the world. And it’s so sad.”
It was impossible to ignore the con-

text surrounding our conversation,
which took place not only in the shadow
of Russia’s war in Ukraine but less than
a week after Hamas’ terrorist attacks in
Israel. If the essence of Shostakovich’s
late music is a meditation on the persistence of evil in the world, it could hardly
be more relevant.
“I was hoping that I wouldn’t feel
like I feel today, meaning that evil is
there,” Nelsons said. “We were hoping
that we will do the cycle and present all
the symphonies and tell that story.”
But age-old conflicts persist, and
new ones arise, with heartbreaking results. “People will be killed. And people
will be kidnapped at this moment,” he
said, and paused. “I mean, I want to cry.”

Continued from Page N1

last year, was on hand earlier this month at
the Umbrella Arts Center in Concord for an intimate showcase for Salt Lick. In a theater seating
350, she topped the bill in a show that also featured Salt Lick grant recipients Julia Pratt, Alisa
Amador, and the harmony group Tiny Habits. The
audience responded to those acts with almost as
much enthusiasm as they lavished on the headliner.
“It’s surreal to be introduced by Brandi Carlile.
I’m kind of freaking out about that,” said Pratt,
who stunned the crowd with a personal song, “Carolina,” which she is recording for an upcoming EP.
Amador, who is based in Cambridge, and the
Berklee-bred Tiny Habits have already taped live
performances for the Salt Lick Sessions, a YouTube
series that has amassed more than eight million
views in the year since the project launched. Like
NPR’s Tiny Desk series (on which Amador has appeared), the Salt Lick Sessions aim to provide a
showcase for artist discovery.
Any musician is welcome to apply to appear on
a session, explained Brown and Liza Levy, the organization’s president. They also extend invitations to established artists, such as Aoife O’Donovan, Sarah Jarosz, and Old Crow Medicine Show,
to help elevate the platform. Salt Lick has partnered with WERS, the Emerson College radio station, on a weekly program dedicated to the sessions.
Levy, a dynamic artist advocate who wore sparkling high-top sneakers at the event in Concord,
worked for more than a decade for Rounder Records as a project manager and head of marketing.
After a stint with Universal Records, she returned
to Boston, where Brown hired her at Berklee based
on a hearty recommendation from Bill Nowlin,
one of Rounder’s cofounders.
“I’ve had six or seven other people telling me
they also told me about Liza,” Brown said with a
smile.
Brown, 67, announced his impending retirement from Berklee in 2019, but then stayed on to
help the school navigate the COVID crisis. During
that time he was “furiously” trying to decide what

his next move would be.
“I didn’t want to retire, but I did want a little
less stress and pressure,” he said.
In formulating the Salt Lick program, he spoke
with some of Berklee’s more recent successful
alumni, including Molly Tuttle, Charlie Puth, and
the band Big Thief, asking them what kind of help
they could have used as they were first trying to get
noticed.
Salt Lick’s artist advisory board is a high-profile
bunch that includes Puth, Jon Batiste, Patrice
Rushen, T Bone Burnett, and Harvey Mason Jr.,
the current CEO of the Recording Academy. The
board helps select grant recipients, four or five per
cycle — there have been four cycles so far — from
the pool of candidates. Applications for the next

round are due on Nov. 23.
“We’re not trying to compete in hardcore pop or
country pop or hip-hop,” said Brown, noting that
those genres already have plenty of major label
support. “But if someone wants to be a pop star,
we’re not going to talk them out of it.”
Today’s independent artists are learning that it
is possible to sustain a career doing what they love,
but it takes a lot of hard work, Brown said.

“I think right now we’re in a time of no excuses,”
he said. “If you post some songs that are accessible
to all — and for which you’re getting paid, albeit a
small amount — and nobody listens, it’s not really
the fault of your label or your PR people or anyone
else.
“The beauty of it is, you’ve disintermediated all
the gatekeepers — the people who might control
your destiny, who don’t always have your best interests at heart. The downside is there’s a tidal
wave of music flowing into the market every day.
“The question is why, or how, would anyone
discover your music.”
The combined expertise of Brown and Levy
makes for an impressive leadership team.
“Roger is a dreamer. He thinks huge,” said Levy.
“I am pragmatic to a fault.”
Together, they want to help recording artists
navigate the rough waters of being an independent
artist — the streaming deals, the touring uncertainties, the process of putting a band together, the
sheer difficulty of attracting attention in a world
with countless entertainment options.
Both they and the artists they work with are unafraid to get creative. One Salt Lick alum, Elizabeth Moen, who has a song called “Eating Chips,”
has paid her rent by selling customized chip clips
at $5 a pop while on tour.
Another Salt Lick artist, Boston vocalist Farayi
Malek, teaches at Berklee and New England Conservatory. Though she’s a member of Danilo Perez’s
Global Messengers jazz group, she envisioned devoting her life to teaching, not performing.
“But seeing my students be so brave and confident, so artistic and free, inspired me,” she said.
“They’re the ones who actually inspired me to pursue my artistic career.”
As a grant recipient, Malek is shifting her musical energy. Originally from Idaho, she is reinvesting in the Americana-style music she grew up with.
“I’ve gone from jazz and American Songbook
standards to more of the folk sounds I heard growing up,” said Malek, who performs at the Red
Room at Cafe 939 on Nov. 16.
“One of the greatest challenges for an independent artist is just knowing where to start,” she continued. “Liza asks wonderful questions that I
wouldn’t have thought about.”
Now several grant cycles in, the organizers of
Salt Lick are finding that they’ve created a community of artists, many of whom continue to interact
after their own cohort has completed its turn.
“The dream is that the artists we’re working
with today will be working with the next generation,” Brown said, “helping them get to where they
got.”

film. Gossels hopes moviegoers will unexpectedly “meet a neighbor at screening, have a conversation, or a hug.”
As in past festivals, this year’s offerings speak to the diversity of the Jewish
experience, with movies ranging from
the coming-of-age story “I Like Movies”

to a documentary about bridging Black
American and Jewish identities, “Rabbi
on the Block.” Gossels points to a shorts
program with several ties to the Boston
area as a source of “moral courage.” For
instance, in “Dear Ani,” Massachusetts
native Keith Wasserman initiates a
gutsy correspondence with musician
Ani DiFranco. “In each of these films,
everybody’s heeding their inner sense of
integrity and purpose,” Gossels said.
She sees that form of courage in “Resistance,” too.
In addition to recounting the Holocaust chronologically, “Resistance” illustrates the breadth of tactics Jewish
people used to rescue themselves and
each other amid genocide. Their acts of
defiance included playing violin in ghettos, smuggling gun powder to resistors,
and creating escape routes from camps.
Nearly every effort could count, this
documentary asserts. Because schools,
libraries, theaters, and more were illegal in the Warsaw Ghetto, actor Maggie
Siff says in a voiceover for ghetto resistance member Vladka Meed, “It was an
illegal life.”

Apsell explains the seed for “Resistance” came about in 2016 while she and
frequent collaborator Kirk Wolfinger
were filming a “Nova” episode. Wolfinger had urged her to get on a plane to
Lithuania. Cameras followed as the late
Jewish studies scholar and archeologist
Richard Freund confirmed that an escape tunnel leading from the Ponari forest killing site did, in fact, exist.
The discovery stayed with Apsell.
Years later, after retiring from a 44-year
tenure at “Nova” (difficult, she says, because she “loved every day”), she kept
wondering, “Why haven’t I heard any of
these stories?” Making a film in response
took some coaxing from Wolfinger, who
became the “Resistance” co-director;
Freund, featured in the documentary;
and her husband. But, Apsell said, “I
kind of started to feel I had to do it.”
The film encompasses sections on
both unarmed resistance and armed revolt. Those familiar with Holocaust history may recall the Warsaw Ghetto uprising or the heroics of poet Abba
Kovner, who wrote a manifesto calling
on youth to fight the Nazis. “Resistance”
also gives voice to accounts from Jewish
women like Bela Hazan, who at age 19
posed as a Catholic courier for survival.
“I tried my best to hold my head up,” a
voiceover for her says in the film, “so
that no one could know what was going
on in my heart.”
Such testimony, especially from
young women, propelled Apsell to finish the project. “I really, really wanted
to tell their stories,” she said.
Forty-seven production days, 59 interviews in 59 locations, meticulous archival research, lots of fundraising, and
a pandemic later, the reality of releasing
a film outside an institution like PBS began to sink in. “Boy, was this an eye
opener,” said Apsell of the tough odds of
getting a film festival acceptance. While
waiting to hear from the Boston Jewish
Film Festival, she said, “My heart was in
my throat for months.”
Meanwhile, Gossels says “Resistance” was the first film she accepted.
“One of the themes of this year’s festival
is moral courage. Paula’s film falls
squarely within that,” said Gossels, adding, “I would never screen a film that
didn’t transcend its subject matter. Because they have ideas that then translate into our own lives.”
Gossels hopes “Resistance” pushes
Boston audience members to consider,
“What does resistance mean?”
In hindsight, learning about Jewish
acts of resistance helped Apsell hone
her own sense of purpose, post-retirement, as someone with strong convictions about both science and faith. “You
can’t control events,” she said, “but you
can control how you respond.”

Gosling steals every scene as “just Ken.”
America Ferrera is a lot of fun as the audience’s stand-in. In Gerwig’s hands,
“Barbie” becomes a potentially divisive
satire of gender roles that’s not afraid to
bare its teeth. (114 min., PG-13) (Odie
Henderson)
YYY½ Bottoms Director Emma Seligman reteams with her “Shiva Baby” star
Rachel Sennott for this hilarious, overthe-top high school comedy about two
lesbian outcasts (Sennott and the movie’s MVP, Ayo Edebiri) who dream of being popular and scoring with cheerleaders, so they start a fight club where the
all-female attendees beat each other
senseless. In a school rife with toxic
masculinity, the plan works. Equally satirical and sadistic, this sure-to-be-divisive film has fight scenes as violent as
the ones in “Raging Bull.” (92 min., R)
(Odie Henderson)
YY½ Dicks: The Musical This “The
Parent Trap”-inspired winner of the
People’s Choice Midnight Madness
Award at the Toronto International
Film Festival is designed for maximum
offense. Like any good midnight movie,
it pokes several bears and slaughters
even more sacred cows. Stars including
Nathan Lane and “Megans” Mullally
and Thee Stallion sing filthy songs by
the film’s writers and costars Aaron
Jackson and Josh Sharp. Bowen Yang
plays God. Works best with a rowdy audience. (86 min., R) (Odie Henderson)
Y½ Dumb Money “I, Tonya” director
Craig Gillespie’s latest follows Brockton
native Keith Gill (Paul Dano) as he outwits several Wall Street bigshots in this

chronicle of the January 2021
GameStop short-squeezing stock “scandal.” An unfunny and repetitive snarkfest, filled with headache-inducing
montages of cable news footage, YouTube and TikTok videos. Spoon-feeds
every detail to the audience as if they
weren’t smart enough to follow the story or handle complex characters. (105
min., R) (Odie Henderson)
YY The Exorcist: Believer In this “requel,” the first of three films, Pazuzu
gets a two-for-one deal on teenage
souls, possessing Angela (Lidya Jewett)
and her friend, Katherine (Olivia
O’Neill), after their botched spirit-conjuring experiment in the woods. “Hamilton”'s Leslie Odom Jr. leads an overstuffed cast that includes a very good
Ann Dowd as an ex-nun rediscovering
her faith. Ellen Burstyn reprises her
role from the first film in a glorified
cameo. Far more unintentionally hilarious than scary, which will make it a
good time for some. (121 min., R) (Odie
Henderson)
YY A Haunting in Venice In Kenneth
Branagh’s third outing as Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot, a Venetian palazzo
is the site of dark doings. Are they supernatural or standard-issue murderous misdeeds? Branagh, who directed,
tries to have it both ways: “Haunting” is
the whodunit as horror movie. It’s plodding, overstuffed, and a bit confusing.
The presence of Tina Fey and Michelle
Yeoh is a plus. (103 min., PG-13) (Mark
Feeney)
YYY Killers of the Flower Moon Martin Scorsese’s adaptation of David

Grann’s book boasts powerful performances by Lily Gladstone and Robert
De Niro. She plays Mollie, an Osage
woman entrapped by De Niro’s corrupt
and murderous leader, William Hale.
Leonardo DiCaprio plays Hale’s dimwitted nephew, Ernest, who marries Mollie
for her money. The atrocities against
the Osage are graphically depicted, but
other than Gladstone, none of the Native Americans are fleshed-out characters. The final scene may be Scorsese’s
best coda. Flawed, but worth seeing.
(206 min., R) (Odie Henderson)
YY½ Oppenheimer Christopher Nolan’s epic about the father of the atomic
bomb is as visually stunning as it is
emotionally unsatisfying. Hoyte Van
Hoytema’s cinematography deserves
Oscar consideration, as does Robert
Downey Jr.’s performance as nemesis
Admiral Lewis Strauss. Cillian Murphy
is good as the titular physicist, but Florence Pugh’s considerable talents are
wasted in a thankless role as Oppenheimer’s mistress. You’ll feel every minute of its three-hour runtime. (180
min., R) (Odie Henderson)
Y½ PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie
Those cute pups from the TV show kids
love are back in their second big-screen
adventure. This time, they’ve inherited
superpowers from a meteor that crash
landed in their hometown of Adventure
City. Supervillain Victoria Vance (Taraji
P. Henson) wants all those superpowers
for herself. Beware: Your children will
want to watch this one a million times.
Ah, the joys of parenting! (92 min., PG)
(Odie Henderson)

GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

early 80 years have passed
since the Holocaust’s final
days. Yet despite vast documentation and scholarship
over that time, veteran science journalist Paula S. Apsell says the story remains
incomplete. “It does not emphasize
enough Jewish resistance,” she said during a recent interview via Zoom.
Instead, the lifelong Bostonian and
former executive producer of GBH’s
“Nova” series says a troubling concept
persists — that, during the Holocaust,
Jews accepted their fate like “sheep to
the slaughter.” She abandoned retirement to independently produce and codirect a new documentary that proves
otherwise.
“Resistance: They Fought Back”
makes its world premiere at the 35th
annual Boston Jewish Film Festival.
The festival runs in Boston area theaters
Nov. 1-12 and online Nov. 13-15. When
the first “Resistance” screening (on Nov.
2 at 7 p.m. at West Newton Cinema)
sold out, the festival added a second for
Nov. 9 at 6:30 p.m. at the Brattle Theatre.
Boston Jewish Film artistic director
Lisa Gossels says the board discussed
postponing the festival amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. Earlier this
month, the Boston Palestine Film Festival canceled in-person events. As of
press time, Boston Jewish Film had chosen to continue the festival as planned,
with extra security.

“What’s happening is so personal to
so many people that we hope being in a
theater will be a positive thing,” Gossels
said by Zoom. The festival expects 36
special guests in-person and via Zoom
— directors, actors, and film subjects —

Sandra Hüller in “Anatomy of a Fall.”

MOVIE STARS

New releases
YYY½ Anatomy of a Fall This year’s
Palme d’Or winner at Cannes is a murder mystery that’s more concerned with
perception rather than resolution. Director Justine Triet guides Sandra Hüller through a plot where her writer
character, Sandra, may or may not have
pushed her husband to his death from
an attic window. Hüller gives a ferocious performance, especially once Sandra goes on trial for murder. What’s also on trial is an outsider’s interpretation of what goes on in a marriage. An
engrossing courtroom drama with
flashy battles between lawyers and with
evidence that can be read multiple
ways. (152 min., R) (Odie Henderson)
YYY The Pigeon Tunnel Errol Morris’s

film about David Cornwell, better
known as John le Carré, is both annoyingly mannered and frequently riveting. The manneredness takes the form
of reenactments, slow motion, and other trickeration. The film’s at its most
riveting when Cornwell just sits at a table, as he often does, answering Morris’s questions. There’s a real sense of
connection between the two men. On
Apple TV+. (93 min., PG-13) (Mark

B Y C H AR L E S A R R O WS M I TH
G L O B E C O R RE S P O N DEN T
The great themes in her later career
were womanhood, royalty, power. In
the acclaimed “Wolf Hall” trilogy, her
subject was capacious enough for her
to symphonize on them at length, with
variation. But for more than three decades, the late Hilary Mantel wrote extensively on a far broader range of subjects. Her articles for the London Review of Books were collected in the
marvelously titled “Mantel Pieces.”
Now, “A Memoir of My Former Self”
brings together more than 70 pieces of
nonfiction and criticism she wrote for
the New York Review of Books, the
Guardian, and others, as well as the
BBC-commissioned Reith Lectures of
2017. The book is a continuous delight.
Though it’s not the memoir its title
promises, it does graze in some of the
pastures Mantel traversed in “Giving
Up the Ghost” (2002). That (superb)
memoir chronicled her difficult childhood and struggle with endometriosis
with acid wit and no shred of self-pity.
Born into a Catholic family of Irish descent in the north of England, her infancy was one long swashbuckling fantasy: “guarding, knight errantry, camel
training.” When “Ilary” was still a girl,
her mother moved the man who would
become her stepfather into the family

The thing about a good
meal and love is that they’re
both universal. The concepts
span lifetimes, generations,
cultures; everyone experiences
them, savors them, and laments when they’re gone.
They make a mess, and the act
of cleaning up is often just as
important as the meal or the
love itself. Bryan Washington
understands this, and his latest work is delectable.
“Family Meal” follows the
repairing relationship between two close childhood
friends who fell out abruptly:
Cam, who left Houston for Los
Angeles without so much as a

his boyfriend Kai; and TJ, who
has never left town and is now
unsure of how to relate to
Cam.
Instead of working a wellpaying “bank job” as he did in
California, Cam is now working at a bar, and fearing its inevitable buyout in a gentrifying neighborhood. He lives
with his boss, and is haunted
by the ghost of Kai, who was
killed in a traffic stop turned
deadly. With no goals beyond
his next lay, he sees TJ, whom
he has not contacted since his
return, at the bar. TJ still

BOOKS: What are you reading?
MCMAHON: I’m halfway through Paul
Tremblay’s “The Pallbearers Club.”
I’m a huge fan of his work. I loved
“The Cabin at the End of the World”
and “A Head Full of Ghosts” and I’m
loving this. The book presents itself as
a memoir that tells the story of the
author’s friendship with a woman
named Mercy in high school. Mercy
has found the manuscript and added
in her reactions so you get two different stories about the same event. Neither narrator seems all that reliable,
which I love. It involves high school,
punk music, vampires, and New England cemeteries.
BOOKS: Do you read mostly scary
books?
MCMAHON: I like to read things that
unsettle me and make the hair on the
back of my neck stand up. I enjoy a
good mystery and read people like Tana French and Kate Atkinson, but I

find myself often asking: Where are
the monsters? Recently I’ve been on a
’70s classic horror kick. I read Thomas Tryon’s “Harvest Home” and Robert Marasco’s “Burnt Offerings” for
the first time. I reread David Seltzer’s
“The Omen” and William Peter Blatty’s “The Exorcist.” They all hold up.

‘I like to
read
things
that
unsettle
me.’

BOOKS: How long have you been a fan
of scary books?
MCMAHON: For forever. When I was a
kid, I read my mother’s copy of “The
Amityville Horror,” which I wasn’t
supposed to read. I was so hooked
and totally terrified. The thing that
scared me the most was that it said on
the cover that it was based on a true
story. I was invited to a sleepover and
started reading it out loud. The girls
got so scared. One ended up in tears
and ran downstairs to the parents. I
wasn’t invited to a sleepover at that
house again.

there. She left to study law and married young, despite her family’s reservations. In her twenties, after years of
condescension from doctors who
should have known better, she was diagnosed with the condition that would
affect her for the rest of her life. She
spent Christmas week 1979 in hospital
“having my fertility confiscated and
my insides rearranged.”
“A Memoir of My Former Self” adds
more depth and color to Mantel’s life
story. “Last Morning in Al Hamra” and
“Dreaming of Pork and Porn” are vivid
portraits of her years in Saudi Arabia.
Her film reviews for the Spectator, for
which she watched “a great number of
very good films, and bucketsful of the
most wonderful trash,” are an entertaining snapshot of late-eighties culture (she enjoys “Babette’s Feast” and
“When Harry Met Sally” but singles
out Mickey Rourke for derision). We
track her interests in the French Revolution, the subject of her novel “A Place
of Greater Safety,” and the Tudors, who
dominated her work from the late
2000s. One essay begins: “As a small
child I remember being told by a solemn nun that Anne Boleyn had six fingers on one hand” — it’s little wonder
that Hilary Mantel became Hilary
Mantel.
There’s a clear line between her
own experience of infertility and her
subjects. Boleyn, Marie Antoinette,
Princess Diana, Kate Middleton: each
would find her personhood rendered
ancillary to her function as a bearer of
children — a role cruelly denied to
Mantel. The urgency of procreation
comes up in “Royal Bodies,” the lecture-turned-essay which gave her brief
notoriety in 2013 when some took it
less as a critique of the institution of
monarchy than a hit on the Duchess of
Cambridge, then pregnant with Prince
George. (“These are sad days for irony,”
Mantel sighed by email to her editors.)
A decade on, it remains a wickedly
worded but high-minded piece. One
need only reread her encounter with
Queen Elizabeth II, whose reign was
almost exactly coterminous with Mantel’s life, to understand the intellectual
relish with which she took on the enduring phenomenon of monarchy: “I
passed my eyes over her as a cannibal
views his dinner, my gaze sharp
enough to pick the meat off her bones.”
Mantel’s interest in women’s experiences extends far beyond royals,
however. Her writings about endometriosis have played a role in raising
awareness of the condition, while her
commentary on the qualified successes of feminism is clear-eyed and damning. “The huge advances women have
made in education and career choice,”
she writes, “are still undermined by an
expectation that she will, when all’s
said, mind the baby.” Of her maternal
great-grandmother, she observes,
“when a woman has ten children, she
ceases to have a biography.” Domesticity can be lethal to literature, too: like
Carmela Ciuraru in her recently published “Lives of the Wives,” Mantel
highlights Elizabeth Jane Howard’s
domestic duties while married to
Kingsley Amis as an inhibiting factor
in her authorial career.
Sometimes in an essay collection, a
rising sameness dulls the sparkle of
even the finest writer. Not so here.
Range helps: Mantel writes about Jane
Austen, Annie Proulx and V. S. Naipaul; “RoboCop,” “Little Women” and
Biggles; stationery, perfume and capital punishment. Her glistering wit is
ever-sharp, whether describing Donald Trump (“the ambulant id”) or Diana (who “won the War of the Waleses
because she was ruthless, and had better legs”). The precision and clarity of
her style keep the material fresh and
engrossing.
For an author so preoccupied with
ghosts, it’s appropriate that this volume should be haunted by books left
unpublished when she died last year.
Editor Nicholas Pearson notes that she
was working on a novel called “Provocation,” a riff on “Pride and Prejudice”
focused on middle Bennett sister
Mary. There’s also a glancing reference
to diaries. And after this sample, one
might hope for a complete edition of
her film reviews. Thank heavens for
this consolation. Twice in her Reith
Lectures she quotes St. Augustine saying, “the dead are invisible, they are
not absent.” Owing to a generous body
of work, it’s likely her presence will be
felt for a long time to come. The queen
is dead; long live Hilary Mantel.

The awe of horror; or
how I learned to stop
worrying and love the rep
By Paul Tremblay

T

GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

he horror genre has enjoyed increased cultural
cache in recent years,1 but
horror still has a, let’s call
it, fraught reputation.2 I’ve
spent a good chunk of my writerly life
arguing that horror is most often
judged by its least artistically successful
works, and that by design, horror
transgresses and holds up a mirror to
society, and that horror challenges
moral boundaries and — to crib from a
Cesar Cruz quote — it comforts the disturbed and disturbs the comfortable,
and that horror, at its best, dares to ask
the most difficult questions story can
pose.
But I’m not going to prattle on
about the high-mindedness of horror,3
nor will I further subject you to my
genre anxieties.4 Instead, let’s go to a
rental on a lake.5
In the summer of 2022, my family
rented a house on Lake redacted.6
There were six of us: me, Lisa, my two
almost-adult children, my daughter’s
friend, and my mother. The rental was
last minute and prior to arrival all we’d
seen of the property were online photos.7 Luckily, it was a fabulous vacation
spot, if not a wee bit remote and the
house itself a wee bit old. Let’s call it
charming instead of old:8 a well-kept
northern New England cabin with
clapboard walls, exposed ceiling
beams, gentle waves in warped wooden
floors. Of course, the three teens decided the place was obviously haunted.
On our second night, we sat at the
long dining table in the main room,
played cards, and swapped jokes and
stories about the cabin’s many ghosts.
My son Cole declared that the cramped,
dark attic loft in which they slept was
the creepiest.9 My daughter Emma in-

sisted the painted portrait of a young
man in a jacket and tie that loomed
over the fireplace was the most haunted thing about the cabin. My mother —
“Nana” to my kids — asked if anyone
had seen the spooky light glowing in
the shower stall.
Wut. Nana described going into the
bathroom in the dead of night and seeing “glowing orange balls in the drain.”
Our fearful, hushed silence turned to
red-faced hysterical laughter. One of us
immediately checked the shower drain:
no glowing orange balls. The more
Nana defended what she’d seen, the
more we joked about cutting off her
wine consumption and putting Nana to
bed.10
The next morning, I was up early,
sitting at the same table, and working
on my novel while everyone else was
still asleep. I was so engrossed in my
latest masterpiece11 I barely registered
Nana sneaking behind my chair and
heading to the cabin’s sole interior
bathroom.12 Moments later, she whispered my name and asked me to come
look at something. Thinking it was a
big spider or something else I didn’t
want to look at, I said, “No.”
Fine. I went to the bathroom. Nana
excitedly pointed at the bottom of the
shower stall. The drain was glowing.
There weren’t any orange balls, but
there was an orange glow coming up
through the drainpipe.
The two of us giggled nervously and
we sputtered shards of questions with
hows and whys and should we flee
screaming; parts of speech of the
breathless language of what if.
A flash of early morning sunlight filtering through the small shower stall
window broke the spell. We posited
that the rising sun at this early time of
day, and only at this time of day, was
hitting exposed PVC pipe. I confirmed

1. Cue the oft uttered line, ‘Horror is having a moment.’
Which is cute, because, um, moments end.
2. Cue the evergreen Joan Jett song, “Fraught Bad
Reputation.”
3. Sounds like a multilevel marketing scam.
4. Those anxieties boil down to: “but wait, I’m not that kind
of horror writer!”
5. No Jason, I promise.
6. Like I’m going to tell you where we went in case we go back.

this by going outside and discovering a
gap near the foundation, the white
shower drain pipe clearly visible between the house’s frame and the
ground.
The rational explanation landed like
Santa-isn’t-real13 disappointment. As
potentially creepy and unmooring as
an orange glow in the shower drain of a
strange-to-us house in the middle of
the woods was, we also experienced
wonder at the excitement and danger
of possibility — the same urge that
makes you want to look for the monster
under your bed or in your closet even
when you know there’s nothing there.
Yet you’re still terrified.
The considerable intellectual appeal
of horror I outlined in the opening
paragraph is foundational to me and
my writing. But a part of me is inexorably drawn to the awe of horror; a
dread-filled fascination that runs like
groundwater through the horrors of
our day-to-day existence, the appeal of
the maddeningly unsolvable puzzle, the
unanswerable whys, daring a glimpse
at the unblinking infinite void while
asking and yes, wondering, What are
we going to do now? How do we live
through this? Some ineffable truths are
best described using the thrilling, chilling language of horror.
Look down your culturally upturned
nose if you must, but I, for one, don’t
(mostly) give a damn about horror’s
fraught bad reputation.
Paul Tremblay has won the Bram
Stoker, British Fantasy, and
Massachusetts Book awards, and is the
author of “The Beast You Are,” “A Head
Full of Ghosts,” and “The Cabin at the
End of the World,” which was adapted
into the Universal Pictures film “Knock
at the Cabin.” He lives outside Boston
with his family.

7. I know, this sounds like a typical horror movie set up.
8. I hope people say the same of me.
9. Later in the week, the teens ended up sleeping on the main
room’s couches.
10. Sorry, Nana.
11. Or checking social media.
12. Yes that implies there was an exterior bathroom, but
that’s a story for another time.
13. Sorry, kids.

Finding catharsis in scary books
uBIBLIOPHILES

Continued from Page N8

BOOKS: Did you read horror while
studying writing in college?
MCMAHON: No, I was studying poetry
and reading all the stuff I was supposed
to read. I did like dark poetry and one
of my favorite books ever is “Transformations” by Anne Sexton, her take on
Grimm’s Fairy Tales. I still turn back to
reading poetry when I can’t find a novel
I can get into. I’ll read poetry until I get
back in the reading groove again. I love
all those confessional poets: Sylvia
Plath, Elizabeth Bishop, Naomi Shihab
Nye, and the poet Ai, whose poems
have some dark, difficult subject material.

BOOKS: If someone wanted to try horror, which books would you recommend?
MCMAHON: Ones that people might not
necessarily think of as horror, such as
Toni Morrison’s “Beloved,” which has a
child ghost. Another is Joyce Carol
Oates’s story “Where Are You Going,
Where Have You Been,” which is not
slasher horror but it’s horrifying. I always point people to Shirley Jackson
because she’s such a beautiful writer.
People know her story “The Lottery,”
but she has so many others. One of my
favorites is “The Summer People,” a
wonderful, dark and creepy story about
an older couple who spend their summers in a quaint town. They make the
mistake of staying past Labor Day.

BOOKS: Why do you like to scare yourself with books?
MCMAHON: I was an anxious and fearful kid who grew up into an anxious
and fearful adult. I discovered when I
was a kid that reading scary books and
watching scary movies handles my
fears in a controlled way and makes me
feel braver. If it gets to be too much, I
can turn the light on or close the book.
When I get through a book it feels like a
catharsis. I came out OK, maybe I
learned something about myself. Little
insecure me comes out feeling braver.

er in her bakery, and has never
gotten a chance to leave. The family bakery business is booming
while the bar’s is failing; TJ is
seemingly monogamous while
Cam finds someone to have sex
with almost daily.
The book is divided evenly between their perspectives, with
Cam detailing his downward spiral in the first person as he falls
deeper and deeper into a heavy
rotation of bad outlets for his unprocessed grief and trauma from
witnessing Kai’s murder. He is unable, after returning home, to
reach out to the people who love
him. For Cam, TJ is a reminder of
the life Cam has returned to after
so much time away, the righteous
voice Cam doesn’t want to hear:
“But it’s not like you called me
when you came back either,” he
tells Cam. “That was a choice,
too.”
The book’s perspective then
shifts to TJ’s, revealing other dimensions of TJ that Cam does
not, or doesn’t want, to see: his
anxieties about his sexuality, his
lasting grief over his father ’s
death, his latent disappointment
about living in the same city for so
long. And in observing Cam, TJ
sees a stranger.
T h e k n i f e c u t s b o t h w ay s ,
though, as we see that TJ isn’t living the seemingly perfect life that
Cam might think he does. His internal life is as hidden from Cam
as Cam’s grief is hidden from TJ.
Washington excels at this shift in
perspective, taking care to give
both characters a view, an opinion, their own take on things.
Most of all, that shift communicates the daunting gap between
the two formerly best friends.
Between them both lies Kai,
who gets his own short section,
detailing how he left his ailing
mother and sister behind in “the
vortex” of Baton Rouge when he
escaped to LA, and then Osaka,
through his translation work.
Though he too abandoned his
family for a life elsewhere, unlike
Cam, Kai never got a chance to return home.
The story is told in prose inviting enough that it’s easy to let the
deliberate text formatting of
“Family Meal” slide by without
comment. In a choice that leaves
some lines feeling like self-contained poems, Washington sometimes fills an entire page with a
single sentence, or a two-page
spread with photographs. The formatting choices feel informed and
purposeful, offering just as much
insight into the characters as the
words on the page themselves.
Cam’s emotional solitude is accentuated by the stark blank space
around his sentences; Kai’s discussion of similarities between
the cities he’s lived in is shown
through photos taking over the
page while TJ’s more rational
thinking is revealed by neat numbered entries.
Though deeply intimate, the
story spans many locations, from
Houston to LA, Osaka to Seoul,
even Baton Rouge. All of them are
informed by character, rendering
them more than just backdrops:
Houston is a broken home for
Cam and TJ, as comforting as it is
restrictive; Osaka is a place of
freedom for Kai, while Baton
Rouge is the vortex that he fought
to leave, even at the cost of family.
And of course, food. Food is everywhere in this work, as an act of
love, a reminder of things lost, the
way a person lives on forever. The
chicken turnovers TJ made with
Cam become some thing Cam
makes for Kai. Cleaning and preparing ingredients as a family
wit h Kai ’s m ot h e r a n d sis t er
draws everyone closer to each
other; the act of baking is a lasting legacy of TJ’s father. Cooking
is the act that brings so many of
these characters together, despite
everything stacked against them,
and that act of creation is given a
warmth and care that feels palpable coming off the page.
Heartbreaking, haunting, and
harrowing one moment, “Family
Meal” just as effortlessly showcases love, joy and passion the next.
Like any good meal, this novel left
me well fed and with plenty to
chew on. I can’t wait to see what
Washington cooks up next.

The Fine Print
THE STORY BEHIND THE BOOK | DAVID SHRIBMAN

BOOKINGS

Soul-searching with
Mitt Romney
As a high school senior McKay Coppins traveled to New York
City to cover the 2004 Republican National Convention. There he
heard former Governor Mitt Romney say that the GOP would
help the country “move forward — safer, stronger, and to better
days.” And there Coppins was hooked, first on politics and then
on Romney himself.
Now he and Romney are sharing the limelight, the result of
Coppins’s “Romney: The Reckoning,” which is causing agita
among Romney’s Republican colleagues, many of whom he portrays as shallow, craven, and timorous in the face of challenges to
democratic values in the United States.
All this is a result of weekly meetings for two years, sometimes-searing sessions in which a private man of comfort made
his discomfort a public matter. “Some nights he vented; other
nights he dished,” Coppins wrote in the prologue to his book.
The venting and dishing continued through this month,
when the author met the senator just after Romney’s
trip to post-attack Israel. “I could tell he was kind of
bracing for the book to come out,” he said.
Brace he might. Romney — ordinarily cool, contemplative, not given to extravagance in dress or public addresses —
provided Coppins with his notes, his correspondence, his deepest
thoughts. In the book the 2012 Republican presidential nominee

seems liberated.
“From the very beginning,” Coppins told me, “he demonstrated
a level of transparency that is uncommon in a sitting politician.”
Coppins, 36, was reared in Holliston and graduated from
Brigham Young University in Utah, the state Romney now represents in the Senate. He had profiled Romney for The Atlantic and
the two kept in touch.
“After the insurrection of January 6, I could sense he was going
through something in his mind,” he said. “He seemed to be doing
some serious soul-searching about what his party had become
and the precarious state of American democracy.”
So Coppins approached Romney with an audacious idea: a biography based in large measure on intensive interviews. He told
Romney he had some conditions: “I only want to do this if you’re
willing to be brutally candid and forthcoming and tell the whole
truth.”
They made one deal: Coppins would retain total editorial control but would let Romney read the book before it was published.
“Reading that manuscript was like looking
yourself in the mirror in a way that was uncomfortable,” Coppins said. “But he now feels at peace
with it, that it is something he can share with his
children and grandchildren.”

NEW ENGLAND LITERARY NEWS | NINA MACLAUGHLIN

Local press celebrates author,
fall book lineup

New poetry collection
captures stillness in motion
Cambridge-based poet Gary
Whited’s new collection “Being,
There” (Wayfarer Books) concerns itself with the solid stuff of
the world — hay, a fencepost, a
pitchfork, a horse — and reckons, too, with the unsayable
largeness of being, and “hours
lost in looking.” Whited locates
the vastness in the simplicity of
a task, a spider weaving a web, a
carpenter swinging a hammer, a
boy mucking stalls, and has that
rare vision: He sees movement
in the stillness, and stillness in
the movement. The book includes Whited’s poems as well as
a selection of his translations of
fragments from the Greek philosopher Parmenides, where
translation becomes more an act
of listening, of attunement, of
seeing and hearing, what comes
from the cracks. These cracks, in
us, in a stone, in a statue, speak
“for what is unspoken, for
what’s/ Sturdy enough to dare to
fall apart.” Whited, who grew up
on the plains of Montana, has an
ear for what moves through the
unlatched gate, which “as it
sways sends out/ its ancient
tone of longing.” The wind
moves through these poems,
against the solid, silent things
that give it voice, like the fencepost which “delighted my eyes/
And my fingers to touch some
thing that lived/ Right there inside where forever might arrive.”
Forever arrives in the silence; so
much is there to be heard in the
silence. Whited listens. He, like
the fencepost, like all of us in
time, is cracked but still standing, “open to something not yet
known.”

The local Arrowsmith Press has put out a strong set of
books this fall, and two upcoming events highlight the authors and their offerings. Richard Kearney’s novel “Salvage,”
set on the southern coast of Ireland leading up to World
War II, examines the tug between ancient ways of healing
and modern modes of life and medicine. On Nov. 2 at 6
p.m., the Boston Public Library hosts Kearney for “Salvaging Celtic Spirituality at Halloween,” a reading and conversation with Kearney and BPL president David Leonard; the
event will also include poet Fanny Howe, singer Noirin Ni
Rian, and artist Sheila Gallagher. That same evening, at
Boston University, the Arrowsmith Fall Book Launch celebrates the publication of three new poetry collections. War
correspondent, poet, and memoirist Christopher Merrill
presents “On the Road to Lviv.” Steven Cramer engages with
Rainer Maria Rilke’s poetry in “Departures from Rilke.” And
Diane Mehta will read from “Tiny Extravaganzas,” where
she writes, “All remains in grays for me; you rapture into
colors unseen on this planet.” The launch takes place at 6
p.m. on Monday, Oct. 30 at 871 Commonwealth Ave in Boston. For more information, visit arrowsmithpress.com. Registration is required for the Kearney event; visit bpl.org.

New collection by local poet examines joy and healing

Coming out

“There are no parties where ghosts do not dance with us,”
writes Tatiana Johnson-Boria in her new collection “Nocturne
in Joy” (Sundress), and she threads the way the past lives with
us through the book. “The woman who made/ me dark and
short and shy/ in shadows, makes cake/ with all the cream/ in
the kitchen.” She returns to her childhood, to the chaos of her
home, and to the harbor home offered from the chaos. How
do we heal? Johnson-Boria asks. How do we find strength to
be vulnerable? To name our needs and what caused us harm?
“An eclipse happens/ In my body, each/ Morning, I am 10mg/
Better than when I’ve/ Awakened,” she writes. What it is to
grow into a Black woman from a Black girlhood, the tenderness and ferocity it demands (the combination of which live
in Johnson-Boria’s lines), are given rich breath here. There’s
joy — “Here they are dancing/ for how could they not” — and
an awareness of how even long-ago wounds can continue to
live in bodies. In the masterful title poem, she refers to herself
as a “temporary survivor,” reminding us that we all are.

RINDELWALD, Switzerland — On a sparkling September afternoon, I was more than
11,000 feet above sea
level at a place called
Jungfraujoch – Top of
Europe. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage site
where you’ll find the highest train station in
Europe and panoramic views of the Aletsch
Glacier, which, at 14 miles, is the longest glacier in the Alps. The glacier may be shrinking, but there’s always snow in this alpine
paradise.
After walking through the ice tunnels at
the Top of Europe, I stepped outside and felt
the brisk wind in my face. My gaze was lost
in the details of the craggy mountains, the

wind-swept snow, and the valleys below.
“Hey! You’re in our picture,” a woman
yelled at me. Her angry tone quickly snapped
me back to reality. “We’ve been waiting two
hours, and we don’t want you in our pictures.”
While strolling and daydreaming, I inadvertently walked into the frame of a photo or
maybe several photos. A long line of daytrippers and hard-core tourists were waiting two
hours (!) to take their picture with the Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe flag and the mountains behind them. I suspect it’s an Instagram
thing where everyone needs their picture taken in the same place, with the same flag,
wearing the same plastic smile. I accidentally
walked behind the famous flag, unaware anySWITZERLAND, Page N14

A visit to the ‘happy place’ of

or the sixth year in a row,
Finland was named the
happiest place in the
world, according to the
World Happiness Report.
The folks at Finland’s tourism office
have embraced their role as happiness
experts, inviting applicants to Finland’s Lakeland region last June for a
Masterclass of Happiness, and now offering a free online course in how to
be happy the Finnish way.
What makes Finland’s 5.5 million
inhabitants so joyful? The short version, according to the Visit Finland
crew, involves four elements: nature,
lifestyle, food, and sustainability.
Sounds good, but it reads like the
copy in a Canyon Ranch brochure. So,
we decided to see for ourselves, by vis-

iting a place that’s surely the happiest
place in the happiest country: Lakeland, a.k.a. eastern Finland’s lake district, where Finns go to relax and have
a good time. We’d mingle with Finns
in their happy zone and try to figure
out the real secret to Finnish joie de
vivre, not the PR-approved version.
And perhaps find an answer to that
burning, hot-as-a-sauna question: Is
there any way to replicate Finnish joy
at home?
No. 1 secret to Finnish happiness:
saunas
We sit in our cars. The Finns sit in
saunas. “Saunas are meditation for us.
We go several times a week,” says Sami
Himanen, a musician, teacher, and
hired driver. There are 3 million saunas in Finland. Many families have
more than one. These might include a

Uber owes
me $100.
Can you help
me get it
back?
By Christopher Elliott
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

Q. I have an account with Uber. Earlier this year, I added my granddaughter
to my account so that she could have
easy travel from the University of Washington in Seattle to my house in Mercer
Island, Wash.
I added her successfully, but when
she tried to access the account, Uber
said that there was “not enough money”
in the account for her to use the service.
I was puzzled because Uber had my
credit card on record. There was never a
question of having money in the account, but I dutifully added $100. However, Uber still denied their service to
my granddaughter.
So I opened a Lyft account, which
solved the problem. My granddaughter
can now use that account for rides.
Meanwhile, I wanted the $100 back
from Uber. I have emailed and called
the company repeatedly, but no joy. On
the last call I made, a representative
told me that the problem had to be handled by the accounts department and
that they would call me back. No one
has called back.
All I want is the $100 returned to my
credit card. Can you help?
ALEC NOWERS,
Mercer Island, Wash.
A. Uber should have allowed your
granddaughter to use your account.
Uber offers a family profile where you
can add anyone as long as they’re at
least 18 years old and have an Uber account. When your granddaughter tried
to hail an Uber, it should have worked.
Why did an Uber representative recommend adding money to your account? Why not just help you add your
credit card to your granddaughter’s profile? I asked Uber to clarify what happened to you, but it did not respond.
Uber’s customer service department
is highly automated, and if I had to
guess, I’d say that you were dealing with
an AI chatbot instead of a real person.
And if you’ve ever spent time talking to
a chatbot before, you should know they
are heavy on the “artificial” and light on
the “intelligence.”
I like your solution, which was
switching to Lyft. In a perfect world,
you would switch to a competitor when
a company gives you substandard service. But in a world where businesses
are consolidating quickly — and that’s
particularly true for airlines — your
strategy is not always possible.
Here’s another thing you could have
done: I publish the names, email addresses, and phone numbers of the
Uber company executives on my consumer advocacy site, www.Elliott.org.
You could have emailed one of them
and hopefully resolved this problem
quickly.
Why couldn’t Uber just send your
credit back as cash? Well, this is because
of the fact that it considers the credit a
gift card, and gift card credits are not refundable, returnable, or redeemable for
cash “except where required by law,” according to Uber. Under Washington
State law, Uber doesn’t have to refund
your gift card. (It should, but that’s a
topic for another time.) So, once you
give Uber your cash, it’s theirs.
But I contacted Uber on your behalf,
and it refunded the $100 credit.

tand-up comedian and sometimes actor
Brian Regan was born and raised in Miami, but he often gets mistaken for a Bostonian. “I think it’s the name,” he said in
a recent phone call. “I like Boston … I
love playing Massachusetts, so I’ll take it.” Regan,
who is performing at the Hanover Theatre in
Worcester on Nov. 7, said he enjoys touring. “I always like writing [material for the shows] and it’s really cool to hop onstage and share my recent goofy
thoughts with people who don’t mind laughing out
loud and letting me know what they think.” Regan,
65, a father of two adult children, performs in close
to 100 cities each year, is a regular on “The Tonight
Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” (he was also a frequent guest on “The Late Show with David Letterman”) and has been a guest on two episodes of Jerry
Seinfeld’s “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” on
Netflix. “He’s a genius,” Regan said of Seinfeld. “And
the fact that he likes what I do is the highest compliment.” On the acting front, Regan has a cameo in
Chris Rock’s 2014 film “Top Five,” and has been on
three seasons of the TV series “Loudermilk” on Amazon Prime. When asked about his current comedy
tour, Regan said he has “never been good at tooting
my own horn,” and referenced a radio station interview where he was asked to talk about his upcoming
comedy show. “I said that I like to think I’m adequate,” he said. “So if you want to see some adequate
comedy, I’m your guy.” We caught up with the “adequate” comedian, who lives in Las Vegas with his
girlfriend and their 12- or 13-year-old rescue dog,
Olive, to talk about all things travel.
If you could travel anywhere right now, where
would you go?
Germany. I want to drink beer out of one of those
cool-looking beer steins while listening to one of
those cool-sounding German bands while listening
to people talk in their cool-sounding language.
Where was the first place you traveled to after
COVID restrictions were lifted?
Italy. Had never been. It was amazing. They have
better pizza than Pizza Hut.
Do you prefer booking trips through a travel
agent or on your own?
My girlfriend books our vacation stuff. She’s better than a travel agent.
Thoughts on an “unplugged” vacation?
I like any place that has a pool with a swim-up
bar. There’s something relaxing about being able to
swim over to your bar stool to grab a cool drink.
Do you use all of your vacation time or leave
some on the table?
Being home is a vacation. I love traveling, but
there is nothing like not being in an airport.
What has been your worst vacation experience?
After a very nice vacation, we arrived at the airport to find our airline had moved the departure
time up by one hour. We saw the plane just idling on
the tarmac, teasing us for a few minutes, before it finally taxied away and back to our happy empty
home.

Comedian Brian Regan in Rome.
Do you vacation to relax, to learn, or for the adventure of it all?
I prefer to relax on vacation. But I do like history
too, so I enjoy seeing things like Mayan ruins and
the Colosseum. People sure liked to kill each other a
lot in the past.
What book do you plan on bringing with you to
read on your next vacation?
Nothing. Well, I always have a book on me, but I
rarely open it.
If you could travel with one famous person/celebrity, who would it be?
I wouldn’t want to travel with a famous person.
When I’m off, I like to lay low.
What is the best gift to give a traveler?
A round-trip ticket on a private jet. If they can’t
afford that, then maybe a nice neck pillow.
What is your go-to snack for a flight or a road
trip?

I’m not a big snacker. I like to go from meal to big
meal to ridiculously huge meal.
What is the coolest souvenir you’ve picked up
on a vacation?
A hat from the Masters. I’ve watched that tournament since I was a kid. To be able to walk around
and see all those holes in real life was pretty cool.
What is your favorite app/website for travel?
Hmm, my crossword puzzle app. Good way to
see how smart I am. I’ve learned when I pick puzzles
labeled “easy,” I find out I am very smart.
What has travel taught you?
That people are nice everywhere. Except for Massachusetts. I picked that location completely at random.
What is your best travel tip?
Sit in the middle seat on a long flight. It’s a great
way to get to know people.

An argument for lengthier vacations

T

By Nevin Martell

GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

here are benefits to travel, no
matter how far or how long.
Weekend getaways are wonderful whirlwinds, perfect for
romantic trysts, micro-recharges, and
high-intensity fun — whether that’s a
concert or an epic hike. Weeklong trips
are a welcome respite from everyday
life, offering the chance to go farther
afield, begin to immerse yourself in another culture, and hit the reset button.
However, I believe the real benefits of a
vacation don’t start to make a serious
impact until you’re away for 10 to 14
days.
Before you start lecturing me on
privilege, let me start by acknowledging
that taking any vacations, much less
those of greater length, is absolutely a
privilege. But if you can make the time,
do it. These trips will change your life
for the better in myriad ways.
First, a few figures on why a longer
vacation might be good for your health.
A 2009 survey by the University of Pittsburgh’s Mind-Body Center found that
taking vacations reduces depression
while increasing positive emotions.
Longer vacations are also good for your
professional life. An internal study conducted by Ernst & Young found that for
every additional 10 hours of vacation
time employees took, their year-end
performance reviews improved 8 percent. And a 2023 study by a team at the
University of South Australia discovered that participants got an average of
21 extra minutes of sleep a night, while
their sedentary time dipped by 29 minutes per day. “People are a bit more active and a bit less sedentary,” says Ty
Ferguson, a research associate at the
University of South Australia, who led
the study. “The most beneficial and
most favorable changes happen during

NATALIIA VYSHNEVA/STOCK.ADOBE.COM

outdoor recreational holidays when
people are camping, fishing, and going
out into nature.”
Even if you’re vacationing in an urban setting, you can embrace being outside and reap the benefits. To really experience a place, you need to walk it.
You need to see it at the street level, watch normal life unfold, get a feel
for its energy, and familiarize yourself
with the pockets of personality throughout it. As much as you can, take in a destination on foot, which inherently takes
more time than driving, taking public
transportation, or opting for rideshares.

‘The most beneficial
. . . changes happen
during outdoor
recreational holidays
when people are
camping, fishing, and
going out into nature.’
TY FERGUSON, research associate at
the University of South Australia

This, in turn, requires longer stays in a
place.
Discovery is inevitable on such treks.
You might pass through a calm-inducing park full of native greenery, go by an
intriguing museum with an eye-catching exhibition, or pop into a shop where
you find the perfect gift for a friend. All
these extra moments have the possibility of adding depth and enjoyment to
your trip, but they won’t happen unless
you have the time to take your time with
a place — not staring at your phone, not
being beholden to your itinerary, not
whooshing by it in a car or on a subway.

Being in a place for a longer period
allows you the opportunity to sample a
swath of cafes, restaurants, bakeries,
and other eateries, so you can get a rich
overview of the destination’s dining
scene. More importantly, a longer stay
will allow you time to return to the places you end up loving. I get frustrated
when I’m visiting somewhere and am
blown away by something I ate or
drank, but don’t have the chance to experience it a second time. This is especially true of everyday enjoyments: coffee, baked goods, and primo snacks. I
like building a mini routine around revisiting these favorite spots, making me
feel like I’m a regular, which grounds
me in a place, though there are potential benefits to being out of one’s comfort zone for a longer period.
All the newness of a vacation destination helps free the mind, breaking it
out of its usual thought pathways. This
sense of liberation allows one to conceive new ideas, fundamentally rethink
works in progress, and plot larger
changes in life with creativity and flexibility most people can’t access so gracefully at home. In this way, travel can become rebirth as new projects take
shape, new resolutions are made, and
new mind-sets are embraced. And there
is a chance for deep renewal on every
level: physical, psychological, spiritual.
When I come back from being out in
the world for a longer stretch, my energy is high, my motivation strong, my
mind zinging with ideas. I can’t wait to
plunge into whatever I dreamed up. On
top of this, I am even more appreciative
of all that awaits: my family, our home,
friends, and the soothing rhythms of everyday life. Of course, soon I’ll be plotting another long vacation.

smoke sauna that takes 12
h o u r s t o heat (you heat the
wooden shack, release the
smoke, and then go in.) Then
there’s the traditional woodburning sauna, where you fill a
bucket with lake water to pour
o n a p i l e o f r o c k s t o c r e at e
steam; and electric saunas,
found inside many homes. And
that’s not including the ice sauna, with walls made of ice. People settle into the sauna and
chill (as in, get as hot as they can
tolerate), for anywhere from a
few minutes to a couple of
hours.
Whichever you choose,
there’s a protocol to follow. “It’s
the ritual that centers you,” says
Minna Gurney of Visit Lake
Saimaa (www.visitsaimaa.fi).
Back in the day, women gave
birth in saunas, and a deceased
person would get a final wash in
a sauna. Today, some saunas are
used for curing meats. (You’ve
never had salmon until you’ve
had it smoked on alder wood in
a Finnish sauna.) Plus, every
sauna has a resident elf, Gurney
says. “People leave treats for
elves in front of saunas.” And,
yes, it is typically a naked experience that includes families, extended families, and friends.
Some saunas are segregated by
gender. After the sauna, you
jump into the lake.
Try it here: The Järvisydän
Nat u r e Ho t e l & S p a R e s o r t
(www.jarvisydan.com) on Lake
Saimaa dates back to 1658.
Their Lake Spa (day pass $35) is
a stunner. Natural rocks and foliage add a “Bachelor in Paradise” vibe to the oasis of five
pools and six saunas, plus lounges and a bar. The spa is coed, so
guests wear swimsuits.
Let’s hear it for lake life
“Lakeland” is no exaggeration: The lake district comprises
half of Finland. The country’s
130,000-plus square miles (just
slightly smaller than Montana),
encompass 187,000 lakes. The
biggie, Lake Saimaa (“Sy-mah”)
is the fourth largest lake in Europe, a series of connected bodies of freshwater with more than
14,000 islands and an 8,513mile shoreline.
If the Finns didn’t invent cottage-core, they could have.
About one-fifth of them own a
cottage, or mökki, and the rest
rent or borrow one. They spend
the summer (and often, the winter) at these countryside homes,
barbecuing, swimming, and enjoying nature. In winter, it’s all
about ice skating on an 18-kilometer trail on the frozen lake,

swimming (in a hole cut in the
ice), ice fishing, even ice golf.
(Did we mention Finns are a
sporty people?) Some cottages
are fancy, with modern amenities; others are basically wooden
huts. The essence of cottage life,
called mökkielämä, is slow living. Over and over again, Finns
told us that simple pleasures like
mushroom foraging and berry
picking make them happy.
And, thanks to a concept
called “Everyman’s Rights,” “you
can basically pick mushrooms
and berries in anybody’s forest
legally,” says Remi Trémouille,
chef/owner of Solitary restaurant at adults-only Kuru Resort.
“Nature is meant for everybody.”
To any New Englander who’s ever encountered a glorious
stretch of “private” beach, that’s
pretty incredible.

way the Finns do. In Puumala,

Food, glorious (foraged) food

healthy food. There’s no way you
could have burgers and fries for
lunch in a Finnish school!,” says
chef Remi. Ouch. In most
homes, traditional foods like
porridge and cabbage stews are
standbys. Frequent menu items
include potatoes, lingonberries,
reindeer, bear, moose, and fish.
“It’s simply this — we use what
we have, whether it’s rhubarb
from the backyard or crayfish
from the lake,” he says. To good
effect: The Saimaa region will be
honored as the international European Region of Gastronomy in
2024.
A six-course dinner at Solitary is a culinary adventure. The
menu changes nightly, depending on what chef Remi and his
network have caught, hunted, or
foraged. “Nearly 100 percent of
what we use is local — flours,
berries, mushrooms, meat, and
fish,” he says. That might include a candied pinecone or a
currant leaf ice cream bar. Or
grilled beaver. Or smoky tar (yes,
tar) bites for dessert.

That said, food isn’t always a
serious topic. In a visit to Market

town of Savonlinna, we tried
lörtsy, a hand-held pastry filled
with meat and rice or (in the
sweet version) fruit jam. Later,
in Puumala, we learned how to
make Karelian pies, a traditional
pastry made with rye flour, filled
with rice porridge, and served
with egg butter. A festival of
carbs, for sure, but delicious.

Karaoke and ballroom dancing?
With a reputation for being
introverted, we were surprised
to learn that Finns love karaoke
— even a member of Parliament
turned up at a popular fireside
restaurant for wood-smoked
salmon and a karaoke session.
Old-school dances like the waltz
and tango are also very popular;
people go to open-air dance pavilions, “and the old-time rules
still apply, with women on one
side, men on the other,” said
Minna Gurney. “It’s very sweet
and old-fashioned.”
The simple life
Over and over again, Finns
told us they were content with
their lives. “We’re not exuberant
like Americans, we’re more of a
‘quiet happy’!” Himanen, the
musician/teacher/driver said. Of
course, there are external factors
at play, like a strong social safety
net and good (free) education,
but here, “You don’t have to have
the biggest car or the most expensive house to be happy.”
What you do need: “To be close
to the forest, the sea, and nature,” Himanen said.
Pirjo Koponen, a wilderness
and nature guide, echoed those
sentiments on a hike within Linnansaari National Park. An investment banker for 17 years,
she looked back on her childhood and realized that being in
nature made her happiest. She
pivoted and became a professional guide. “We have so many
lakes and woods around us — we
are very lucky,” she said. Maybe

that’s why Finns are happy, she
reflected. “We’re happy with
what we have — the simple life.
Maybe happiness is this: wanting what you have.”

Finland, go to www.visitfinland.com. For more about Lake
Saimaa, a UNESCO Global
Geopark, see www.visitsaimaa.fi/en/.
Happy as a Finn
So — what happiness lessons
might we borrow from the
Finns? Some thoughts:
Relaxing in a hot sauna
seems like a great start. (Who’s
got one? Want company?) Renting a cabin on a lake is a doable
vacation option in New England
— and a great base to ponder
what “the simple life” means to
you, and the concept of “wanting what you have” as the basis
for contentment. Spending
more time in nature, even in
winter? That’s an easy one —
there are more than 150 state
parks in Massachusetts alone,
ideal for exploring in any season. Or start close to home, with
a gentle walk in the leafiest place
you can find. (We’ll leave the icewater swimming to the hearty
Finns and the L Street Brownies!) Karaoke and ballroom
dancing? Why not. Eating more
local foods? A worthy goal —
plus, forage-based restaurants
are starting to pop up around
here. But we’d politely decline
the tar gummies.

Holy cow! This alpine spot is breathtaking
uSWITZERLAND

Continued from Page N11

one would wait two hours in line for a
photo ... of anything. I was at a loss for
words, and I retreated into the Sphinx
viewing building for fondue and to admire the peaks of the Jungfrau and
Mönch mountains.
Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe is the
most popular attraction in the area, as it
should be. More than a million people
went there in 2019. If you’re in Grindelwald, I think it’s a requirement to visit,
and as long as you don’t accidentally
photobomb anyone, you’ll be fine. But
after my visit there, I decided to avoid
places where daytrippers and hard-core
tourists congregate simply to take pictures of themselves. I just wanted nature and more of those incredible vistas.
I don’t want my experience at the
Top of Europe to dissuade anyone from
coming to this paradise. The Jungfrau
Region of central Switzerland is so gorgeous that when I fell off a bike and was
convinced I was going to die (spoiler
alert, I didn’t die, nor was I injured), I
thought, “Well, if I’m going to buy the
farm, this is probably the most beautiful
place on the planet to do it.” I’m not one
for hyperbole, so when I say it’s one of
the most breathtaking places I’ve seen,
it’s said with sincerity.
I centered my trip on the town of
Grindelwald. It sits in a valley where the
Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau mountains
create a majestic backdrop. These are
the Bernese Alps. Skiing is the top sport,
as are ice and mountain climbing. But
for anti-social, off-season novices like
me, hiking turned out to be my favorite
activity. OK, fine, consuming chocolates
and raclette was my favorite activity.
Then hiking.
To get here, I grabbed the train from
Zurich airport (Zürich Flughafen) to
Grindelwald, which took about three
hours. If you want to add a few additional scenic hours, you can take the
train from the airport to Lucerne and
then head to Grindelwald. It’s worth the
time to see the preternaturally blue
lakes and rivers via the rails. Trains run
regularly throughout the day, and
they’re easy to navigate. Each way is
about $100.
I spent the first few days gasping at
the view everywhere. Something about
snow-capped mountains, verdant hillsides filled with cows and sheep, and intense blue rivers lowers my blood pressure faster than a speedball of Zestril
and Norvasc.
To avoid further close encounters
with social media-crazed and narcissistic throngs, I reached out to François
Bucher of Jungfrau Rides, who offers
cycling tours. Using an ebike, I was easily able to pedal the hills and remote
roads, both paved and unpaved. Other
than an occasional hiker, the only other
beings we encountered were cows, and
none of them were taking selfies. We
started in Grindelwald, went up to the
tiny town of Bort for a treat at Alpinehotel Bort, and then to Bussalp for a very
late lunch of älplermagronenat (it’s like
macaroni and cheese, but better) at
Berggasthaus Waldspitz.
It was a leisurely 14-mile ride, and I
knew that it wasn’t particularly difficult
because I didn’t feel sore the next day. I
spent the next few weeks bragging I had
biked through the Alps, leaving out the

detail that it was an ebike.
Grindelwald is a small town, it’s population is just under 4,000, but because
there are more hotel rooms than residents, the dining choices were abundant. The first night was raclette night
at my hotel (the Sunstar), so I stuck
around for the deliciously gooey meal.
There’s nothing more indulgent than
melting slices of gruyère on a tiny grill
at your table and then pouring the bubbling cheese over small, boiled potatoes.
More options, you say? One night I
had pizza with goat cheese, figs, sheep
salami, pine nuts, and alpine herbs at
the family owned Onkel Tom’s Pizzeria.
Another evening I went the indulgent
route and had pheasant fillet glazed
with almond liqueur and Swiss caviar at
the very posh Hotel Glacier. I tried the
rösti (like a hash brown, but better) at
Restaurant Grund, and cycled to the tiny Ischboden-Hütte outside of town for
the views and the cake.
As you may have guessed, Switzerland isn’t a place for bargain hunters.
But during the spring and fall, prices
are not as steep as winter and summer.
You can score rooms at four-star hotels
for under $200 a night in the spring and
fall. The lower the star count, the lower

the cost. Restaurants are also more expensive, but like hotels, there are many
cheaper options. Plan accordingly —
unless you’ve recently received a large
inheritance or have a trust fund.
I ended up saving money by skipping attractions and spending my days
hiking. I was blessed with perfect
weather, so it made my treks more en-

joyable. Even if you’re not particularly
athletic, there are several options. One
morning I took a gondola to the top of a
mountain called Männlichen and
strolled the Royal Walk. It’s only 20
minutes from the gondola to a big
crown that you step inside for a full 360degree view. From there I took the Panorama Trail (the name is very accurate).

Wigwam Escape
harks back to 1518
uESCAPE

Continued from Page N11

1518 wasn’t lost on us.
IAIS has one of New England’s lessknown museums of Native American
culture and heritage, partly because it is
so remote. But since its founding in
1975, the organization has surveyed
and/or excavated more than 500 archeological sites. Its claim to fame in scientific circles was the discovery of a
10,000-year-old campsite — the earliest
documented presence of people in the
land we now call Connecticut. Who better to be our guide to Indigenous ways?
The institute has a replica Algonkian
village on its grounds but the Wigwam
Escape condenses all the elements into
a single room. Players find themselves
in a Native American village in the
Quinnetukut (Connecticut) woods. Sections represent the settlement, a garden, woods, and a stream.
Rachel Wolther greeted us when we
arrived punctually at our reserved time.
(Players are discouraged from arriving
early so they don’t encounter players
from the previous time slot.) As the last
person we’d see in the 21st century, she
explained that the adventure is something of a quest challenge. Another village has been struck by illness and is requesting help. We have to prepare for
the journey to bring them assistance.
Across the span of a day (condensed into an hour), we will have to hunt, gather, and cook. To do this, we must ex-

plore all the resources in the escape
room.
Wolther told us what specific objectives we had to achieve before we could
set out on our journey of mercy. She also gave us hints about approaching the
challenge, reminding us that teamwork
would probably help us reach common
goals more quickly. She encouraged us
to look everywhere, as it wouldn’t necessarily be obvious where puzzles or
missing pieces might be. She also gave
us advice about specific skills we’d need
to employ and about the purpose of certain artifacts in the room. We were
sworn to secrecy about these elements,
lest we inadvertently blurt out any
spoilers.
Since we’d driven three hours to get
there and were about to embark on a
long journey, we took advantage of the
21st-century plumbing before we
plunged into the world of 1518.
Wolther offered to hold our cellphones
and watches, since they wouldn’t be of
use. The brightness of the illumination
would signal the arc of the day.
Lock and key puzzles and countdown clocks apparently typical of escape rooms are not part of the Wigwam
Escape. We can’t say much about our
experience (see secrecy agreement
above) but the puzzles were more intuitive than gimmicky. We were surprised
by how long it often took us to even recognize a particular challenge, let alone
figure out how to meet it. Some of Da-

You’re already at about 7,000 feet and
you can stick to a loop that gradually descends.
By far my favorite free activity was
watching a seasonal alpine cow parade,
and yes, it’s as amazing as it sounds.
Dairy farmers let their cows graze in the
mountains throughout the summer and
lead them into the valley in the fall. To
mark the occasion, cows are crowned
with flowers and adorned with huge
clanging bells. It’s like a cow drag show.
These bovines strutted through town as
if they were dressed for drag bingo.
I watched a German couple taking
pictures of the parade, and asked if
they’d like a picture with one of the
cows. They looked at me as if I had
three heads and said, “No thank you, we
know what our bodies look like.” I
thought back to the woman who yelled
at me for accidentally stepping into her
photo at Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe
and realized that there are, thankfully,
still people who want to travel to enjoy
experiences rather than fill their TikTok
and Instagram accounts.
So I stood alongside the German
couple with a wide grin on my face, enjoying the 500-year-old tradition of the
cow parade. Even better, there was no
one around telling me I was ruining
their photos.

vid’s Boy Scout skills did come in handy,
but then scouting has long pointed to
Native American examples for woodcraft and woodlore. Our modest successes, however, mostly came when we
pooled resources and tackled tasks together. (See “teamwork” advice above.)
The time passed quickly. As the illumination began to fade, we realized
that we had not finished even one of the
tasks we had been assigned. Given our
ineptitude, we feared for the survival of
the stricken village we were supposed
to help. Darkness fell. We had failed,
though we had a good time doing it.
The beauty of the experience was that it
was a short leap of imagination to feel
as if we were confronting real-life problems in pre-contact Connecticut.

Our post-experience debriefing
helped us put our failure in context. Obviously used to preserving the self-esteem of visiting school kids, Wigwam
Escape creative director Griffin Kalin
told us not to feel bad. “As escape rooms
go, this is a difficult one,” he said. “It’s
not the way most people are used to interacting with their environment.”
In fact, when the program launched
in 2018, only about 30 percent of participants managed to escape. “Now it’s
more like 50 or 60 percent,” he said. “It
was a learning experience for us too. We
had to reduce the level of difficulty.”
Kalin explained that “it’s really all
about resource management and processing. You have to be in a certain
brain space to address the puzzles.

From the moment you step in, you realize that you’re in deeper than you expected. It’s dark. It’s unfamiliar.”
Many successful players do have experience with escape rooms. But, Kalin
said, “if you keep the theme, you won’t
get lost looking for the mechanisms.”
Many players also find it helpful to go
through the adjoining IAIS museum
(included with the price) before undertaking the escape room experience. In
addition to a traditional elongated wigwam set up as it might have been used
in a Native village, exhibits trace roughly 6,000 years of people inhabiting this
corner of Connecticut. The cultural
mind-set is exactly the right preparation for solving the puzzles.
By the way, the record for solving all
the puzzles without any hints is 22 minutes, 36 seconds.

Picture Perfect

Place at the Table
The September 17 Perspective, “Making a More
Equitable Food System,”
calls attention to the critical
role of Latino workers in our
food system and the cruel
irony that these same farmworkers—deemed essential
during the pandemic—often
struggle to feed their own
families. Massachusetts
farm workers are uniquely
vulnerable to poverty and
exploitation. Unlike other
workers in the food system,
they are not entitled to
the state minimum wage
or overtime. What’s more,
farm workers are often only
seasonally employed and
many are unable to access
safety net programs because
of immigration restrictions.
Consequently, twice as many
farmworker families live in
severe poverty compared
with other families in the
Commonwealth. The most
urgent and effective policy
change is clear: Pass the

THE BOSTON GLOBE MAGAZINE

When I first arrived in Boston a decade ago,
Mike became my colleague and my carpool buddy. On those late-night car rides, I learned that
the gracious and generous persona fans see on
television is not an act, or just for show.
We would talk basketball, of course, but Mike
was always the first to ask how I was doing, what
was going on in my life. He listened intently and
offered sage advice when I needed it. And, as we
all know he does, he told amazing stories.
Many of those stories—about working alongside the late, great Tommy Heinsohn, his friend
and longtime broadcast partner, or traveling with
the team during championship runs, for example—have been sprinkled in during games over
the years. I won’t rehash them, because I couldn’t
do them justice. But the reality is that Celtics fans
should savor them now, because, as many know,
Mike has decided to step away from the micro-

phone after this season.
To say he will be missed is an understatement

Indescribable.
Mike Gorman called his first game as the Celtics’ play-by-play announcer, alongside Tommy, in
November 1981, a matchup against the Indiana
Pacers. To put his longevity into perspective, the
C’s have won nearly 2,000 regular season games
since then, hanging three NBA championship
banners in the rafters, and seen 14 Hall of Fame
players suit up in green. (Hat tip for the numbers
to another legend, Dick Lipe, the stats guru for
the Celtics broadcasts.)
For a kid from Dorchester, who snuck into
the old Garden through back doors, Mike had
reached the pinnacle, his dream job. I’ve only
seen highlights, but I can assure you Mike delivered nothing short of broadcasting excellence

anding at Hanscom Field at 2 a.m. and
having to drive home in the middle of a
snowstorm—after the second night of
back-to-back games—is one of the least
glamorous parts of my job as the sideline reporter
for the Boston Celtics.
But those treacherous drives, cautiously navigating snowplows and ice patches, are some of
my favorite memories covering the team, because
I got to spend time with a man I’ve been lucky
enough to call a friend for about a decade now:
Mike Gorman.
New Englanders know Mike as the legendary
voice of the Celtics, whose signature call—“Got
it!”—has punctuated the team’s most memorable
moments for over 40 years. With a warm, steady
presence, he has a way of making every person
watching at home feel like they’re part of the
Celtics family.

an either/or situation, or can I meet someone while still seeing these two women?
— Sort of Dating

A.
LOVE LETTERS

Two Timing
I AM ENJOYING MY CURRENT
FLINGS, BUT WONDER ABOUT A
REAL RELATIONSHIP.

Q.

I am a 27-year-old man. I am
currently dating (but not really
dating) two women. The first
woman is 42 and extremely attractive. She
is married, though. Her husband travels
for work and is gone roughly two weeks
out of every month. We have a lot of great
sex when he is away. Our interactions are
mostly physical. We don’t go out, but I
do like her and spending time with her.
We don’t really communicate when her
husband is home and I am fine with that.
I fully realize this relationship has no longterm potential.
The second woman, a friend, is 25.
She is also extremely attractive. She has
been dating a woman for about a year. We
are together maybe a few times a month
because she likes being with a man once in
a while. We are friends with benefits. Our
relationship differs in that it is not mostly
physical. We spend time together. I highly
doubt this relationship has long-term
potential, though.
I like both of these women and each
situation. I don’t want to end it with
either. I’m not looking for a deep relationship, but it would be nice to know that one
is possible. I don’t see how I am going to
develop anything with someone while sort
of dating these two women, though. Is this

It does sound like you have
the hours to meet new people.
You’re only seeing these women
a few days at a time, and one is only available half of the month.
Do you have the space in your brain for
more? I can’t guess. It would be interesting to go on some app dates to see if you
can concentrate, and if you have any
curiosity about someone you don’t already
know. It might be exciting to spend time
with someone who’s free to do more. Or ...
maybe not. If you have the energy, have
coffee with a stranger. Ask questions. See
how it feels.
I do think that when you’re ready for a
more significant relationship, you’ll distance yourself from one or both of these
women. I believe you’ll hit a wall, want
something different, and make space.
Writing this letter might be a first step.
You’ve started the process by asking, “Can
this happen? How would it work?” The
next move might involve change. You’re
just not there yet.
Of course it’s possible to meet someone
new. At some point, you’ll have to decide
whether you want to turn “possible” into
“likely.” If your priorities change, you’ll
want to arrange your life so someone can
join you.

WALLPAPER WITH FLOWERING BRANCHES PAIRED WITH
A FANCIFUL HEADBOARD AND TAILORED ACCENTS TURNS
A PRIMARY SUITE INTO A PEACEFUL RESPITE.
BY MARNI ELYSE KATZ

G

iven that the primary suite in this Wellesley home is situated over the three-car garage, Jennifer Brady knew she had
to devise a strong scheme that wouldn’t get lost in the large
space. “They didn’t want to architecturally divide it, so we needed
to delineate it with furniture,” the founder of KidderKokx Interior
Architecture and Design says. Using an immersive mural of blossoming magnolia branches paired with a lush, lyrical headboard,
Brady created a focal point front and center. “This wall is so large,
it was important to have movement so the room wouldn’t seem
static,” she says.

THE BOSTON GLOBE MAGAZINE

1 The client’s existing neutral rug with an
interlocking geometric pattern established
some interest from the start and informed
the need to incorporate curved elements for
contrast. “If everything was rectilinear, the
room would feel rigid,” Brady says.
2 The elegant lines of the Christian Liaigre
bench don’t compete with the headboard,
but still make a statement at the foot of
the bed. It also introduces another material — leather — and allows for a glimpse
of the textured bed skirt. “I prefer the
subtlety of texture over overt pattern,”
Brady says.
3 The prominent graining and deep brown
color of the Made Goods nightstands tie to
the branches on the wallpaper while coun-

terbalancing the flowing feminine pattern
with a handsome masculinity.
4 The large-scale Urban Electric lights with
white and gray pinstriped shades help hold
the wall and contribute to the room’s drama.
5 Phillip Jeffries’ Blossom wallcovering features a digitally printed dusty rose pattern on
a silver background with a raw silk texture.
“The soft colors and organic pattern help
create a relaxed environment appropriate for
a bedroom,” Brady says.
6 The chinoiserie-inspired silhouette of the
headboard and the rich aubergine hue of the
mohair velvet upholstery play off the wallpaper pattern and palette. “The headboard
needed to be bold to create drama and fill
the wall,” Brady says.

Smashed Potatoes
With Chili-Lemon
Vinaigrette

IN THE KITCHEN WITH
CHRISTOPHER KIMBALL
AND THE COOKS AT
MILK STREET

SKIP THE MASHING AND TRY THIS CREAMY,
CRUNCHY TAKE ON POTATOES INSTEAD.
BY CHRISTOPHER KIMBALL

S

mashed potatoes have creamy-dense interiors that contrast perfectly against their craggy,
well-browned exteriors. Preparing them is a
multistep process, but one well worth the
effort. First, we simmer the potatoes in heavily salted
water, then drain them, put them on an oiled baking
sheet, crush them with a flat-bottomed object such as a
sturdy cup, and, finally, roast them in a hot oven. Afterward we flavor them with sauces, such as a tangy-sweet
red chimichurri. For Indian-inspired potatoes, sliced
jalapeños bring chili heat, and a trio of coarsely ground
spices — cumin, coriander, and fennel — adds texture
and warm, earthy flavor. And adding rosemary and
garlic to the cooking water contributes a complexity to
smashed potatoes we toss with a chili-lemon vinaigrette.

Smashed Potatoes
With Red Chimichurri
MAKES 4 TO 6 SERVINGS

A pantry-friendly red chimichurri sauce is a perfect
spicy, tangy-sweet accompaniment to the potatoes.
Leftover chimichurri, if you

have any, will keep for up to
a week in the refrigerator;
bring to room temperature
before serving.
2

pounds small (1- to 1 -inch)
Yukon Gold or fingerling
potatoes, unpeeled
Kosher salt

9

tablespoons grape-seed or
other neutral oil, divided
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
2 tablespoons red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 medium garlic clove,
finely grated
cup balsamic vinegar
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
or cilantro, to serve
Flaky sea salt, optional, for garnish

Heat the oven to 500 degrees with a rack in the
middle position. Add the
potatoes and 3 tablespoons
salt to a large pot, then add
2 quarts water. Bring to
a boil over high heat and
cook, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until a
skewer inserted into the
largest potato meets no resistance, about 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, to make
the chimichurri, in a small
saucepan set over low heat,
combine 6 tablespoons oil,
and the paprika, pepper
flakes, and oregano. Cook,
stirring occasionally, until
the mixture begins to bubble, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove

from the heat and stir in the
garlic, then cool to room
temperature.
When the potatoes are
done, drain them in a colander and let cool for about
10 minutes. Coat a rimmed
baking sheet with 2 tablespoons of the remaining oil.
Distribute the potatoes in
an even layer on the baking
sheet and, using the bottom of a dry measuring cup
or ramekin, press down on
each potato so it is slightly
flattened and splits open but
remains intact. Brush the
tops of the potatoes with the
remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
Roast the potatoes without
turning them until browned
and crisp, 35 to 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk the
vinegar and
teaspoon salt
into the infused oil. When
the potatoes are done, use a
wide metal spatula to transfer them to a platter. Drizzle
with some of the chimichurri and sprinkle with parsley
and flaky sea salt, if using.
Serve the remaining chimichurri on the side.

Indian-Spiced
Smashed Potatoes
MAKES 4 TO 6 SERVINGS

These crisp on the outside,
dense and creamy on the
inside smashed potatoes
are our riff on the gunpowder potatoes we loved at
Dishoom, an Indian restaurant with multiple locations
in the United Kingdom.
Blooming the spices in butter just before tossing with
the smashed potatoes draws
out their character while
also infusing the fat for better distribution of flavor.
Dishoom serves a cooling
raita alongside the potatoes
(see the following recipe),
but if you prefer a simpler
accompaniment, offer lime
wedges for squeezing.
Look for potatoes that
are uniformly sized, as they
will cook at the same rate,
so you won’t have some that
are underdone while others
are overcooked. Also, it is
best not to stir the potatoes
during roasting. Leave them
be to maximize browning

Smashing Success

Drain the potatoes in
a colander. Transfer to a
rimmed baking sheet and
toss with the oil. Using the
bottom of a dry measuring
cup or ramekin, press down
on each potato so it flattens
slightly and splits open but
remains intact. Roast without stirring for 20 minutes,
then sprinkle evenly with
the chilies. Continue to
roast without stirring until
the potatoes are crisp and
well browned, another 10 to
15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a spice
grinder, combine the
cumin, coriander, and
fennel seeds; pulse until
coarsely ground. In a
small saucepan set over
medium heat, melt the
butter. Add the ground
seeds and fenugreek (if
using) and cook, swirling
the pan, until fragrant, 2
to 3 minutes; set aside.
When the potatoes are
done, use a wide metal
spatula to transfer them to
a large bowl. Add the spiced
butter; toss to coat. Fold in
the scallions and cilantro.
Taste and season with salt
and pepper. Serve with lime
wedges and/or raita.

Smashed Potatoes With
Chili-Lemon Vinaigrette
MAKES 4 SERVINGS

To make these potatoes, we
first boil whole fingerlings

or small Yukon Golds in
well-seasoned water then
flatten and roast them in a
ripping-hot oven. Plenty of
salt, along with rosemary
and garlic, add flavor; the
salt also raises the boiling
point of the water, which
speeds cooking.
We smash the cooked
potatoes and finish them
in the oven, so they can be
cooked all at once rather
than in batches in a skillet.
We take a cue from
Mokonuts, a Parisian
café, and dress the
smashed potatoes with
a tangy-spicy vinaigrette
that accents the potatoes’ flavor. We also get
full use out of the garlic
clove used to season the
cooking water, mashing
it into the dressing to
add flavor and body.
When boiling the potatoes, begin timing as
soon as they’re added to
the water. To make ahead,
the potatoes can be boiled,
smashed, cooled, and refrigerated a day in advance; to
finish, brush with oil and
roast as directed.
The vinaigrette can be
made in advance except
for the chilies, then covered and refrigerated until
ready to use; bring to room
temperature and add the
chilies.
The potatoes should
not cool completely before
smashing; they are easier to
flatten and they hold their
shape better when warm.

Add the potatoes, garlic,
rosemary, and
cup salt,
then cook, uncovered and
stirring occasionally, until
a skewer inserted into the
largest potato meets no resistance, 18 to 22 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon,
transfer the potatoes to a
wire rack set in a rimmed
baking sheet; place the garlic in a small bowl; remove
and discard the rosemary.
Let the potatoes cool for
about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, using a fork, mash
the garlic to a paste, then
stir in the lemon juice and 2
tablespoons of oil, followed
by the chilies; set aside.
After the potatoes have
cooled slightly, carefully
remove the rack from the
baking sheet. Wipe away
any moisture on the baking
sheet and place the potatoes
in an even layer directly on
the sheet. Using the bottom
of a dry measuring cup or
ramekin, press down on
each potato so it is slightly
flattened and splits open but
remains intact. Brush the
tops of the potatoes with the
remaining 4 tablespoons oil.
Roast the potatoes, without moving them, until
browned and crisp, 35 to 40
minutes. Using a wide metal
spatula, transfer to a serving
platter, then sprinkle with
the parsley and drizzle with
the vinaigrette.

MISS CONDUCT

In Limbo
I’M A FINALIST FOR TWO JOBS. HOW
DO I NAVIGATE BETWEEN THEM?
I’m a finalist for two jobs, with the interviews scheduled roughly one week apart.
If I get an offer from Job A before I have a
chance to interview for Job B, how long can
I delay giving Job A my answer? Should
I let Job A know I have another possible
offer pending? Or should I accept Job A and
withdraw from the position if I get a better
offer from Job B?

conversations with the doers and thinkers

and trends shaping our world.

Listen now at
Globe.com/saymore

You could let Job B know now that you
are a finalist elsewhere, and ask about
the hiring time frame. It’s the polite
thing to do, it will let you know how
much leeway you have, and it will make
you look like a hot ticket to be snapped
up pronto. Job B might be able to move
your interview up, for that matter.
If you do get an offer from Job
A — and I cannot stress highly enough
that this means a written offer, not a verbal one — ask the company to give you X
amount of time to make your decision.
You could also ask for additional interviews or information to help you make
your decision. (Think site visits, face
time with clients or internal stakeholders you’d be working with, sitting in on a
staff meeting.) This shouldn’t be a pointless exercise in putting off Job A; one of

the biggest mistakes people make when
they change jobs is failing to do enough
research on the organization they’re joining. What further intel or conversations
would help you make the most informed
choice between jobs, and best set you up
for success if you ultimately wind up in
Job A?
Advice beyond that depends on
industry norms and your personal job
priorities. For example, what would
constitute that “better offer” from Job
B? More money? Working from home?
Development opportunities? Opportunity to travel or freedom from having to?
Could you negotiate with Job A to get
those things? What’s your gut instinct on
which job you want most? Do you have a
trusted friend who knows your professional milieu and can help you think
through your options, and specifically
whether or not it’s the most strategic
move to tell Job A about the other offer?
Ultimately, of course, you need to
do what is best for you—for future you,
as well as present you. Think about
the lasting impression you’ll leave with
recruiters and hiring managers, people
who themselves will eventually get new
jobs and who may very well cycle back
into your life in some other role. Don’t
lie, don’t ghost, don’t waste people’s
time, say “thank you” for everything.
“Finalist” is nice and all, but you may
wind up with no offers, not two. Conduct
yourself such that you’ll be top of the list
of people to call when the next dream
job opens up.

DORCHESTER.

T

he call came from a customer service agent in the lobby at lottery
headquarters and the message was
short. The Jaafars are here again,
the agent said. Yousef Jaafar, this
time.
Dan O’Neil, the director of compliance and security for the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission,
doesn’t typically get alerted when
someone shows up to claim a $1,000 prize from a scratch-off
ticket. Such transactions are usually quiet, pleasant, unremarkable. The lucky winner produces the ticket and the agent,
sitting at a counter behind a pane of glass in Dorchester, doles
out the money.
But the customer service agents at the windows aren’t the
low-level employees that a winner might imagine them to
be. O’Neil calls them “my eyes and ears on the ground.” The
agents know everything about the people who play the lottery.
They get to know their faces; they get to know their names.
O’Neil had instructed the agents in late 2019 and early 2020
to be on the lookout for the Jaafars—Yousef, his older brother
Mohamed, and their father, Ali—for reasons that everyone at
the lottery understood at the time.
In less than a decade, the Jaafar family of Watertown managed to claim more than $20 million in lottery winnings from
over 14,000 scratch tickets and other games—a stunning run
of success that just didn’t add up.
An information technology expert at the lottery had run the
math to show just how unlikely it was. An instant-win game

called “$10,000,000 Big Money” had
a 1 in 1,106.72 chance of producing
a jackpot of $1,000 or more, he reported. Yet somehow, over a recent
span of six months, the Jaafars had
managed to claim nearly $2 million
in winnings, the bulk of it from instant tickets like “$10,000,000 Big
Money.” To win at that rate, the Jaafars would’ve had to purchase 22,859
such tickets every day, 952 tickets
every hour, 16 tickets every minute.
“Every minute of every day,” the official said. “Twenty-four hours a day.”
In lottery terminology, there was
a name for this. The Jaafars were
“high-frequency winners.” They
were also breaking the law and the
rules of the lottery itself by working with dozens of convenience store
operators in an underground network where everyone was trying to avoid paying taxes on lottery prizes. In this network, everyone got cash under the table
while the Jaafars got the winning tickets to claim as their own.
A lot of them. In 2019 alone, the Jaafars claimed more than
$3.2 million in winnings. Yousef was the sixth-highest ticket
casher in the entire state that year, Mohamed was third, and
their father topped the list.
It had all come to a head in recent months. The Lottery
Commission had moved to suspend the Jaafars, the Jaafars
had hired a lawyer, and everyone had landed in Suffolk County Superior Court, squabbling over the family’s right to play
games for money.
But now, on a warm summer day in 2020, Yousef Jaafar
was back. He was downstairs, with three winning tickets in
his hand. The customer service agent was on the phone calling
Dan O’Neil and O’Neil was on the elevator heading down to
confront a man at the heart of what he now calls “the biggest
money laundering operation that the lottery has seen.”
The conversation near the ticket windows did not go well.
O’Neil informed Yousef that the lottery would not be cashing
his tickets that day. Yousef, O’Neil recalls, became angry. He
lashed out at the lottery, and seemed prepared to make a scene
in the lobby because Yousef believed he was legally entitled to
claim his jackpot. It was his business, the family business.
And if the whole thing looked curious, absurd, or even
mathematically impossible, the Jaafars had a way of explaining it to make it sound plausible to people who didn’t know
the odds, to people who didn’t understand the game.
The father told people that they were just lucky. The luckiest men in Massachusetts.

IT WASN’T EASY. Ali was in his mid-30s when
he landed in Massachusetts. He had no high
school diploma. He spoke limited English and
had few job prospects. With most doors closed to
him in his new country, Ali found employment at
a service station pumping gas.
To put food on the table, Ali worked long
hours. “Hardly ever spending time at home,”
Souraya observed later. But this wasn’t a complaint. Ali was working to support the family, anything for the family. Even when Ali was
pumping gas, the Jaafars didn’t want for anything. Eventually, he saved up enough money to
buy a taxi—Jaafar Cab Inc.—and invested in a
product that seemed to have potential: prepaid
phone cards.

It was the 1990s and phone cards were in high
demand, especially at convenience stores frequented by immigrants such as the Jaafars. Shopkeepers knew to summon Ali whenever they ran
low on cards and he would show up in his taxi
and deliver them by the stack. The side business
was apparently profitable enough that Ali could
stop driving his cab. He started a new company—Assorted Phone Cards—and used his money
to finance an important purchase.
In the fall of 1997, the Jaafars bought a home
in Watertown for $206,000. The street was lined
with modest ranch-style homes, but a friend of
the Jaafar children remembers thinking that their
home was bigger than most he visited in town. It
had two stories and four bedrooms. More importantly, the house ensured that the four Jaafar children would be educated. They could attend Watertown High School and earn the one thing that
had eluded their father: a diploma.
TO SOURAYA, IT ALL FELT LIKE A DREAM.
They had never quit, they had persevered, and
now here they were with the house in Watertown, the children in school. She didn’t mind saying that she felt blessed, even lucky. “I always felt
lucky,” she’d say later in a letter to a judge.
Her second son, Mohamed, certainly gave her

no reason to feel otherwise. Mohamed had expressive eyes, a warm smile, and a studious nature that was apparent to everyone from the moment he walked through the doors at Watertown
High in the fall of 2004. Classmates recall a boy
who worked hard, earned National Honor Society accolades, joined the student government,
played varsity soccer, and made sacrifices for his
faith and his family that other students wouldn’t
forget, even years later.
Ramadan requires Muslims to fast from sunrise to sunset for an entire month, and during
Mohamed’s senior year, the holy month fell during September, soccer season. Teammates recall
that it would have been easy for Mohamed to eat
crackers before the games or sneak sips of water
on the bench. “But he never did,” says teammate
Bijan Ghom. Mohamed had discipline. “Unusual
discipline,” Ghom adds, “for a high school kid.”
College admissions officers noticed. After high
school graduation in 2008, Mohamed attended Northeastern University, where he earned
a bachelor’s degree in international affairs. He
then went on to collect a master’s in business administration at Bentley University while building an impressive résumé of work experiences.
Mohamed spent a year assigned to a committee at the Massachusetts State House, interned

THE TALE OF THE JAAFARS—until the problems with the lottery—was best framed as an
American success story. Ali was born in Lebanon
in 1958 and had to overcome many troubles as a
young man. His parents divorced. War broke out
between heavily armed militias. Massacres on the
streets became all too common, and sometime in
1975, just before Christian forces torched Muslim
neighborhoods in Beirut, ultimately killing 1,500
people, Ali and his father made a choice: The boy
wasn’t finishing high school in Lebanon. He was
getting out.
Ali moved to live with his father—3,500 miles
away in Sierra Leone in West Africa—and for a
time, he carved out a life for himself there, pious
and gentle and, according to loved ones, hardworking. He met a young woman named Souraya. She knew immediately that she loved him.
They married and had three children, and then,
in the spring of 1991, Ali faced trouble again. Liberian rebels invaded Sierra Leone, throwing the
country into chaos and forcing hundreds of thousands of people to flee.
For the second time in his life, Ali was looking to escape, and this time, Souraya was there to
help. Her parents had somehow managed to immigrate to America a few years earlier. With their
assistance, Souraya said later, she and Ali navigated the difficult process of obtaining US visas.
They won what she described as “the visa lottery”
and made their way to Massachusetts in 1992. A
young family, safe at last.
They rented a home just off the interstate in
Waltham, and in that moment, Ali felt grateful
and looked for ways to give back. He saw himself
as “a servant to Allah,” a relative later told the
court, whose purpose was to help his community.
And he seemed especially intent on helping his
four children, including Mohamed and the new
baby, Yousef.
As they all started over, Ali had just one goal
in mind: “To provide for and give his children the
best life growing up,” a relative said. “Everything
that they needed to succeed in America.”

for then-Senator John Kerry, and served as a research assistant for a Bentley professor writing
a book. It was the work of an ambitious student
who seemed interested in a career in public policy or politics. But at least one former classmate
in Watertown speculated that Mohamed might
end up working with his father instead.
According to his résumé, Mohamed joined
the phone card business as soon as he graduated from high school, and quickly moved up from
customer sales representative to operations manager. He expanded his father’s customer base by
personally visiting convenience stores and said
he offered the highest level of customer service
through “honest business practices.”
It was an odd choice of words, given what Mohamed knew by that point. His father was no
longer just selling phone cards: He was engaging
in what Mohamed himself would later call “the
lottery scheme.”
THE JAAFARS’ SCHEME was built on a premise that’s been known to gamblers for decades:
Some people prefer not to publicly claim their
winnings, particularly if they want to hide money
from the Internal Revenue Service.
At American racetracks since at least the
1960s, these reluctant winners have turned to

“ten percenters” for help. In the shadows beneath
the grandstands, ten percenters would pay cash
for someone’s winning ticket, minus a 10 percent
cut off the top and often even more —15 or 25
percent. The real winner would walk away with
cash in hand, off the books, tax-free, while the
ten percenter would claim the full prize at the
racetrack window and often avoid taxes by claiming large gambling losses at the end of the year or
by submitting fake identification at the track.
It usually amounted to tax evasion and could
have devastating ramifications: the government
sometimes lost as much as $1 million a week in
tax revenue at a single track. It was only a matter
of time before a similar practice of ten percenting
infected state-run lotteries. For any jackpot over
$600, winners have to produce a valid ID and Social Security number, and pay taxes. Those who
owe back taxes or child support have one more
obstacle to clear: Massachusetts authorities will
take that money before paying out any winnings.
In this world, someone holding a scratch-off
ticket worth $1,000 can sell their prize to a convenience store operator for $750 or $850. The
winner leaves with cash under the table. The
convenience store clerk picks up the phone and
calls a runner. This person shows up and buys
the ticket for the discount price, minus a cut for

the clerk—maybe $50. The runner then pretends
to be the real winner and claims the ticket at a
lottery office for its full value, scoring a profit of
$100 or $200.
It’s a black market that has existed in Massachusetts since at least the late 1990s, according to state audits. A 2002 investigation identified at least 58 high-frequency winners who had
claimed a total of $4.7 million the previous year
and paid minimal taxes. By 2004, this pool had
grown to at least 88 people, claiming $10 million in all. And a 2010 report sounded the alarm
about “professional ticket cashers” one more
time. “Our follow-up review,” the state auditor
declared, “disclosed that this practice is ongoing
and has become even more widespread.” Sometimes, store employees even cashed the tickets
themselves, skipping the runner entirely. In one
instance, an employee walked into a lottery office
in Braintree and cashed 14 winning tickets in a
single day.
How Ali Jaafar started ten percenting, or why,
isn’t clear. But as a man who visited convenience
stores for a living—phone cards in hand, conversations in the candy aisle—he wouldn’t have had
to work very hard to hear whispers about easy
money. And sometime in 2011, when Yousef was
graduating from Watertown High and headed to
Suffolk University—and Mohamed was finishing his junior year at Northeastern—their father
made a choice that would change the trajectory
of their whole family.
He cashed a lottery ticket. And then another. And then some more. In 2011, according to
lottery records, Ali claimed 136 tickets worth
$217,000. The next year, he claimed 214 tickets
totaling $367,000. In 2013, he blew these numbers away, claiming 867 tickets worth almost
$1.3 million. Then he exceeded that figure every
year for the next six years.
Every spring during this stretch, Ali listed
gambling losses on his tax returns that allowed
him to avoid paying taxes, despite lottery winnings approaching $10 million. Some ten percenters claim casino losses at tax time; some
grab handfuls of losing scratch-off tickets from
trash bins at convenience stores, then bundle
them together to keep should the IRS come calling. According to testimony from an accountant
who worked for Ali, the father didn’t produce
any such records. The losses and winnings just
seemed to cancel out. Ali’s lottery ticket business
kept growing until it became the family business.
In 2013, according to state records, Mohamed
and Yousef started claiming tickets, too.
In federal court later, Mohamed agreed to a
set of facts about how it all worked. When a convenience store operator had a winning ticket of
more than $600, the operator would call the Jaafars. The father or one of the sons would show
up to buy the winning ticket for an agreed-up-

on price less than the actual prize. Usually, they’d never learn
the real winner’s name. That person disappeared with cash
in hand, here and gone. The convenience store operator got
paid—perhaps $50 for a small jackpot, $100 for something
larger—and the Jaafars went to a lottery office to claim the
full jackpot. Once there, one of the Jaafars signed the ticket, as
required, and certified that he was the “sole recipient” of the
prize and not working to “assist another in the avoidance of
financial obligations.” Then sometimes they posed for photos
like any ordinary winner.
Because the Jaafars purchased the tickets for 75 or 85 percent of their value, they weren’t pocketing the full jackpots.
But the money did add up. A lawyer for Ali and Yousef admitted in court documents that the family made at least $2 million off the scheme. Their system also resulted in more than
$6 million in federal tax losses, according to the US attorney’s

THE BOSTON GLOBE MAGAZINE

DAN O’NEIL, THE
DIRECTOR OF
COMPLIANCE
AND SECURITY
FOR THE STATE
LOTTERY
COMMISSION.

IN THE SUMMER OF 2017, The Boston Globe, in collaboration with other newspapers and Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism, exposed the practice of ten percenting in states across the country. Massachusetts was identified
as the state with the biggest problem in the nation, which finally sparked the response that the state auditor had been calling for since 2002.
Michael R. Sweeney, the lottery’s executive director at the
time, promised better oversight. Within months, the Lottery
Commission adopted a new policy authorizing the director to
suspend high-frequency winners for claiming tickets deemed
to be “factually or statistically improbable.” The commission
held hearings in May 2019 to investigate the Jaafars. It quickly
moved to suspend all three of them, plus two other players.
The Jaafars tried to fight the ruling in Suffolk County Superior
Court that September—a fight that proved unsuccessful—and
that same month Sweeney hired a new director of compliance
and security: Dan O’Neil.
A longtime investigator for the state inspector general’s office, O’Neil, 53, has close-cropped hair, a tight beard that’s
neatly trimmed, and a steady demeanor that was obvious
even when he was a teenager growing up in Merrimack, New
Hampshire. O’Neil played quarterback in high school, led Merrimack High to an undefeated season as a senior, and helped
rally his squad from a 13-point deficit in the state title game to
win the 1987 Division II championship.
After getting hired at the lottery, O’Neil didn’t even bother
decorating his small, windowless office; even now, four years
later, there’s almost nothing on his walls. Instead, he dove
right in. He met with Sweeney to discuss the problem of highfrequency winners and left the meeting asking himself questions about the people trying to cheat the system.
“How are we going to suspend them—first and foremost?

P H OTO G R A P H B Y S O P H I E PA R K F O R T H E B O S TO N G LO B E

office in Massachusetts, and earned the Jaafars themselves
more than $1.2 million in tax refunds. “From tickets they never won,” one federal prosecutor said later, “based on gambling
losses they didn’t actually have.”
Mohamed knew he was on what he called a “dark path.” He
should have never participated in the scheme, he said, and he
should have protected his younger brother, Yousef. If he were
stronger, Mohamed said, he would have stood up to his father
and saved them both, and he wondered what it said about him
that he didn’t, that he couldn’t. Mohamed worried that he was
“naïve and weak”—or worse. “Pathetic,” he said.
In 2016, Mohamed pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge
in New Jersey connected to an alleged overseas money-laundering operation and, at some point, sought psychological
counseling for depression. Still, he continued buying winning
lottery tickets—at convenience stores in Melrose, Worcester,
Chelsea, Charlestown, and beyond. Mohamed didn’t want his
father to see him as the “bad son,” he said, and he couldn’t
overcome his father’s pressure—“substantial psychological
pressure,” Mohamed’s lawyer John F. Palmer called it. Mohamed couldn’t stop, even when he tried.
In 2017, according to Palmer, Mohamed informed his father that he was done—he was finished doing this work. Ali, a
man who had once crossed continents for his family, allegedly
responded by kicking his son out of the house in Watertown.
Mohamed was only allowed to return, the lawyer said, if he
agreed to keep claiming lottery tickets.

And then how are we going to determine whether or not there is a criminality involved and get
the proper law enforcement agencies involved?”
O’Neil recalled recently. “My first day—this was
my directive. There were a couple internal issues that I had to deal with, but the overall, general issue facing the lottery—in Michael Sweeney’s eyes—was ten percenters and the integrity
of the game.”
While O’Neil’s team of investigators began to
mine the data on the Jaafars’ operation, including the stores where they seemed to secure the
most tickets, the Jaafars got creative, too. By
October 2019, Yousef had enlisted two friends
to cash tickets for him at the lottery office, so
that he wouldn’t have to show his face there
anymore. The two men, Ahmed Shikhalard and
Nicholas Frankel, testified later in court that
they did what Yousef wanted on several occasions in exchange for $200, gas money, or a
little food.
But Yousef’s plan involving his friends wasn’t
nearly as creative as it needed to be. By then,
the Internal Revenue Service was on the case,
too. On two occasions, an undercover IRS agent
sold winning tickets to a convenience store clerk
in Somerville, and somehow, the agent testified
later, these two tickets ended up in the hands of
Shikhalard and Frankel, providing the government with a direct link to the Jaafars. Shikhalard
and Frankel stopped doing Yousef’s work shortly
thereafter; a lottery investigator had confronted
one of them.
On June 26, 2020, Yousef returned to lottery
headquarters with those three winning tickets
in hand, according to state records. He had that
strained and angry conversation in the lobby
with O’Neil, and less than two weeks later Mohamed showed up as well, only to be turned
away, just like his younger brother.
The discussion with Mohamed that day was
quieter, O’Neil recalls, perhaps because Mohamed knew what was coming next. At the end
of that summer, federal agents searched the
Jaafars’ home and began to question other people involved: the convenience store operators
and Yousef’s friends. Frankel testified later how
Yousef showed up unannounced at his workplace that weekend to coach him on what to tell
authorities, and he recalled specifically how that
interaction ended: “With Yousef saying this conversation didn’t happen.”
But Frankel, a young father, newly married,
had never felt good about his dealings with
Yousef —and the lottery. He worked out an immunity agreement with the government and, within
months, federal prosecutors indicted the Jaafars—Ali, Mohamed, and Yousef—for conspiracy
to defraud the United States, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and multiple counts of filing false tax returns. They had become the most

prolific ten percenters in Massachusetts.
THE JAAFAR TRIAL LAST WINTER at the US
District Court in Boston lasted five days. But
it only involved Ali and Yousef. In November,
about a month before the trial started, Mohamed agreed to cooperate with federal prosecutors, struck a deal, and pleaded guilty to
a single conspiracy charge. Mohamed didn’t
have to worry when both Shikhalard and Frankel testified against his father and brother. He
wasn’t there when jurors took less than two
hours to convict them on all counts, and Mohamed didn’t have to stand in the courtroom
last May when the federal judge handed down
stiff sentences to both of them. Ali got five
years in prison, Yousef got a little over four, and
the men were ordered to pay the IRS $6 million
in restitution.
Ali and Yousef’s lawyer, Valerie S. Carter, objected to these sentences last spring. In an email
to the Globe at the time, she said convenience
store operators—working to recruit people like
the Jaafars and skimming their own money off
the top—were the “major wrongdoers” here. Her
clients, she said, had been used.
But O’Neil points out that lottery investigators,
state authorities, and federal prosecutors haven’t
just focused on the Jaafars. They’ve gone after
other ten percenters, their runners, their clients,
a Boston police officer who sold a $10,000 ticket
on the black market to dodge detection, and the
convenience store operators who have worked
with them behind the scenes. Last spring, the
Lottery Commission moved to revoke or suspend
sales licenses at more than 40 locations.
“We’re just going down the line,” O’Neil says,
“and now we have the tools. We have the precedent.” His team, he says, also has the support
of high-ranking state officials, including state
Treasurer Deborah B. Goldberg, who oversees
the Lottery Commission, and the lottery’s new executive director, Mark William Bracken. “Do we
want to be suspending players? Do we want to be
removing agent licenses from communities? No,
that’s the last thing I want to do,” Bracken says.

“But we take this seriously—in order to protect
the integrity of our games and maintain the confidence of our player base.”
IT’S A PLAYER BASE that is unlikely to ever include one man again: Mohamed Jaafar.
He faced his own sentencing in US District
Court in late July. Despite the significance of
the day, and everything that was at stake, the
33-year-old son of Ali and Souraya showed up
alone. Mohamed wore a fitted gray suit for the
occasion. He paced outside, hands in his pockets.
He waited for the proceedings to start, and he declined to speak for this story, both that day and
later. Outside of statements made in court documents, none of the Jaafars has ever talked publicly about what happened with the lottery.
But when given a chance to explain himself
at his sentencing, Mohamed spoke to the judge
and began to cry. He admitted that what had
happened was more than just a mistake; it was a
crime, Mohamed said—“a very gross and disturbing type of crime.” He took responsibility for it.
He apologized “for not being a better citizen.” He
promised to make amends. “I just want to live a
modest and peaceful life,” he said. And though he
could have blamed his father for what had transpired, he didn’t. “The only person to blame for
seriously ruining my own future is myself.”
Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton told Mohamed
that he appreciated the sincerity of his statement.
“But you do need to suffer the punishment of jail
time,” Gorton said, “not only to deter you from
ever committing a similar crime, but to deter
anyone else, generally, who thinks this ten percenting is something that we are going to tolerate.” It isn’t, Gorton said, not anymore, and he
believed that this sentiment was reflected in the
sentence he was about to impose: six months in
prison, with an order to pay $964,000 in restitution and a two-year ban on any activities related
to the lottery.
“Do you understand that?” the judge asked
Mohamed.
“Yes, your honor,” he replied.
The court adjourned and Mohamed gathered
himself to leave, moving slowly and looking broken. The sentence was harsher than what his
lawyer had requested.
But in the finality of the moment, Mohamed
felt something that he admitted to the judge was
a little strange, a little odd. He felt relief, a certain
calmness. “It feels like a dark cloud has floated
away,” he said, “and I can finally see a clear path.”
It was almost like he was lucky.

t must have been a somber procession that trudged
through South Cemetery in Belchertown, Massachusetts,
on the morning of July 21, 1788. Justus Forward, the town’s
Congregationalist minister, stopped before his 21-year-old daughter’s grave. Surrounded by his parishioners, he signaled to start digging.
Not so long ago, the Reverend Forward had been the father of eight living
children. But three had died of an illness that had turned them pale and thin,
eventually filling their lungs with blood and slowly suffocating them. And now another
daughter had just begun coughing up blood.
With an invisible malevolence stalking his family, Forward had to do something, he later
wrote to a friend in Stockbridge. He “had consulted many about opening graves of some of
the deceased,” he explained, “to see whether there were any signs of the dead preying on
the living.”
The townspeople had first exhumed his mother-in-law, who had been buried three
years ago in the old cemetery up in Hatfield, thinking if anyone was tormenting the
family from beyond the grave, it would be her. But they just found a desiccated skeleton, her face fallen in, with some residue of lungs that “seemed like meal, a little
wettish.”
Now prying open the coffin of Forward’s daughter Martha, who’d died almost six
years ago, they found a corpse shockingly less decomposed. She had always been
“considerably fleshy,” Forward thought, but her lungs and liver seemed strangely intact even after all those years in the ground. He told the town physician, Dr. Amasa

folklorist Michael
Bell, “you have a

kill it.”

Scott, to open the body.
As he cut into the lungs,
Scott discovered coagulated blood inside—“perhaps several spoonfuls”
in all—which he judged
to be no more than 26
hours old, evidence of
life within the corpse.
A graduate of Yale Divinity School, Forward
tried to rationalize the
difference in decomposition between the two
bodies, thinking perhaps
it was due to soil quality—Hatfield was sandy and loamy, while Belchertown was
gravelly “with many roundish stones.”
But the man of God couldn’t rule out the other possibility:
His daughter was a vampire.

FOR MORE THAN A HUNDRED YEARS, in the 18th- and
19th-centuries, a vampire scare gripped rural New England,
with townsfolk believing that invisible spirits were preying on
their loved ones. The belief grew from fear of another invisible
killer, consumption, a disease that took its name from the way
it consumed victims from the inside out. By the mid-19th century, scientists had given it another name: tuberculosis.
At the time, the disease was the most common cause of
death in the United States, ravaging whole families as husbands and wives, sons and daughters grew pale and wasted
away. In a desperate attempt to stop a sickness that seemingly
descended without cause, some resorted to extreme measures,
digging up deceased kin to check for liquid blood in their
heart or lungs, seen as evidence of a kind of demonic possession.
“Sometimes they called it an ‘evil angel’ inhabiting the
body,” says folklorist Michael Bell, “draining the life out of a
living family member.” He stands at the site of the 1788 exhumation on a bright October day, with the foliage just beginning to turn at the fringes of the burial ground. Nearby, a giant
white oak that may have been a sapling 235 years ago spreads
its branches over Reverend Forward’s family plot, including
the crooked, lichen-covered headstone of his married daughter, Martha Dwight, one of the earliest known “vampires” in
New England.
Thin, with pale features and a shock of white hair, Bell
might seem a touch vampiric himself, if not for the animated
way the 80-year-old talks about the belief. Unlike “your average Dracula,” Bell says, “nobody ever came out of the grave.”
Instead, the evil spirit was thought to drain the family member’s life by “sympathetic connection” without leaving the
ground. “And that to me is much more frightening,” Bell says.
“If you see something you have a chance to name it, to ward
it off, to kill it.”
Once a body had been exhumed, villagers performed a
ritual to sever the spirit’s connection, often burning organs
or the entire corpse, and sometimes making living relatives
inhale the smoke or ingest the ashes. In Martha’s case, Forward oversaw the placing of his daughter’s decomposed liver
and lungs into a special box, which was then reburied about

a foot above her coffin.
Bell started investigating vampires in New England in 1981,
when he led a grant to explore the folklife of Southern Rhode
Island. For his doctorate at Indiana University, he’d studied
voodoo practices in the American South. So he was intrigued
when one of his interns discovered a local character in Exeter,
Rhode Island, named Everett Peck, a fount of local lore. The
intern told Bell enigmatically, “Be sure to ask him about his
family vampire!” Bell barely had time to turn on his tape recorder before Peck launched into a story about an ancestor,
Mercy Brown, a 19-year-old consumption victim exhumed in
1892 under suspicion of draining the life from her brother.
Intrigued, Bell began digging, finding several contempo-

raneous accounts backing up the tale, including a scholarly
article in an anthropological journal of the day, and a lurid
newspaper article in The Providence Journal. Soon, he was
unearthing similar tales all over New England, describing
20 of them in his 2001 book, Food for the Dead. In the two
decades since, he’s found 87 in all, gathering them in a new
book, Vampire’s Grasp, slated to be published next year.
While accounts of vampirism span New England, with
some even in New York and Pennsylvania, the epicenter is
Southern Rhode Island, home to 17 cases. “I think Rhode Island was more open to what we’d call a magical worldview,”
says Bell, who lives part time in Cranston, and notes that the
state was originally founded by heretics fleeing Puritan Massachusetts. “People were more unfettered in their beliefs.”
Bell can’t say where the superstition originally came from;
he finds no trace of similar practices in England. In the earliest case in the United States, from Willington, Connecticut, a
town official complains of a “quack doctor, a foreigner” who
persuaded Isaac Johnson to exhume his family members in
1784. Bell speculates the practice arrived during the American
Revolution, brought by Hessian mercenaries who transplanted Central European folk cures to New England soil.
After that, the practice spread from town to town. In another case in Cornwall, Connecticut, farmer Eliza Ford saw
her father and five brothers and sisters die, before a visiting
stranger searching for new cow pasture told her about the ritual—Eliza dug up her sister Emily in 1869. Two years later in
Pennsylvania, a transplanted Rhode Islander advertised in the
local newspaper that he’d be disinterring several family members. Some 100 curious neighbors showed up to observe.
EXHUMATIONS WERE USUALLY shared only within families or local communities, unlike the very public witch trials in
Salem that preceded them, which is why many New Englanders have never heard of them. “I think the experience was so
traumatizing, it didn’t really make it into local folklore the way
ghost stories or even witch stories did,” says Faye Ringel, an
expert on gothic horror. Today, we might “associate this with
Halloween and a thrilling, pleasurable terror,” she says. But if
you lived at the time, “It’s just scary, one of those beliefs you
lived with and hoped you wouldn’t have to act upon, but you
might.”
Ringel first came across the belief in H.P. Lovecraft’s novella
The Shunned House, where he refers to the vampire myth as
the “Exeter superstition,” in reference to the Southern Rhode
Island town. She didn’t know what that meant until working at the Norwich Bulletin in Connecticut the 1960s, when
she came across an old article about Jewett City—now part of
Griswold, just over the border from Exeter—where in 1854
residents dug up the bodies of consumption victims Horace
Ray and his three sons. “It was ten minutes from my house,”
Ringel says. “I was hooked.”
The writer of the old article condemned the practice, deeming it something from “the darkest age of unreasoning ignorance and blind superstition.” That was typical of newspapers
of the time, says Ringel, a professor emerita of humanities
at the United States Coast Guard Academy, who wrote about
vampirism in her 1995 book, New England’s Gothic Literature. “Each time there was a case, the reporter would say, ‘This
is unprecedented, this unbelievable superstition. Who would
believe we would find it in our enlightened times?’ ” But at the

VAMPIRISM.

same time, Ringel notes, supposedly “enlightened” city
dwellers were performing seances in their elegant parlors,
under the guidance of mediums who practiced spiritualism.
Popular interest in vampirism peaked with the Mercy
Brown case in 1892, which
set off a “media frenzy,” Ringel says. A news clipping
found its way into the papers
of Bram Stoker, whose Dracula was published in London
in 1897. Some once believed
Brown’s story might have
inspired Dracula’s vampire
consorts, until discovery of
Stoker’s journals showed he’d
been working on the book
since 1890. “Mercy Brown
didn’t influence the female
vampires of Dracula,” Ringel
says. “Dracula influenced the
following perception of Mercy
Brown.”
It’s no accident, she says,
that most of the bodies exhumed were young women,
just as ghosts and witches—and for that matter, mediums—were often female. Such
lore is “a two-edged sword,” Ringel says. “A way for the powerless to have power, but a fear of powerful women as well.”
As macabre as exhuming family members may seem to us,
or even to urbane Bostonians of the time, Ringel and Bell both
have sympathy for the families who performed them. It’s almost impossible now to put ourselves back before the germ
theory of disease, when doctors were split on whether consumption was hereditary—a “taint” or “stain” on the family—or caused by mysterious environmental factors, such as
damp or “bad air.”
Attributing the disease to invisible spirits was in some ways
closer to the true bacterial cause of the disease. “They knew it
was contagious,” Bell says. “They didn’t know the agent.” Even
the ritual of burning bodies and having family members inhale
the smoke or ingest ashes made a kind of sense as an inoculation, a practice introduced for smallpox years earlier. “The
ritual may not have been rational or scientific,” Bell says, “but
it was reasonable.”
By his estimation, the ritual only appeared to “work”—that
is, no further family members died—a little better than half
the time. But it must have made people feel like they were
doing something in the face of a hopeless scourge. “You can
imagine, you’ve got a family of twelve, and six of them have
died, and now maybe your wife or others are sick,” Bell says.
“Are you going to do nothing? Or are you going to grasp at
straws?”
To answer that question, we only need to look at the
COVID-19 pandemic, when panicked Americans pursued remedies from drinking bleach to swallowing horse dewormer.

VAMPIRE “JB55,”
ARRANGED TO
WARD OFF SPIRITS.
A COMPUTER
RENDERING OF HOW
JOHN BARBER WOULD
HAVE LOOKED IN LIFE.

24

IN 1990, A “VAMPIRE” DID RISE from his grave in Griswold,
Connecticut. Two kids were playing in a sand and gravel pit
after heavy rain, and as they slid down the hill, several skulls
slid down with them. Police initially thought the bodies might
be victims of a serial killer, until the state medical examiner
determined the skulls were over a hundred years old. They
called Nick Bellantoni, then the state archaeologist.
A graduate of the University of Connecticut, Bellantoni was
trained in osteo-archaeology, the study of human skeletal remains. As he examined the pit, he recognized the remains of
grave shafts. Eventually, Bellantoni’s team identified 29 graves
at the top of the hill, remnants of an old burial ground.
Several of the graves were particularly unusual, including
a brick-lined crypt with a small wooden coffin—on the lid,
brass tacks spelled out the number 13 and the initials NB. (“I
wasn’t too thrilled because those are my initials, too,” Bellantoni says.) Another grave nearby was lined with stones, and a
coffin with “JB” and “55” spelled in tacks on the lid. Bellantoni
discovered bones—a decapitated skull and two femurs crossed
in an X-shape over the chest, like a pirate’s skull and crossbones. “I was just totally befuddled by the whole thing,” Bellantoni says.
As he considered the possibility of grave robbers, a colleague asked if he’d ever heard of the “Jewett City vampires”
a few miles away. Eventually, Bellantoni got in contact with
Bell, who speculated this was yet another New England variation on the vampire ritual. The bones were transported to the
National Museum of Health and Medicine in Maryland, where
they were discovered to have lesions on the ribs characteristic
of tuberculosis.
“It’s clear he’d been in the grave five or ten years before
someone dug him up to see if he was undead,” Bellantoni says.
Apparently convinced JB55 was a vampire feeding on the living, the townspeople couldn’t burn the heart—it was too far
decomposed—but they had to do something. “So they decapitated him,” Bellantoni says, “and crossed his bones to keep
him from leaving his grave.”

BONES OF SUSPECTED

“Let’s not break our arms patting ourselves on the back,” Bell
says. “We’re not smarter than they were—we just have more
information. When we come against an unknown disease
that’s going to kill us, we still have fear. And when we have
fear, we have to look for hope.”

Bellantoni deduced that JB55 and NB13 were probably father and son, ages 54 and 12, since people at the time counted
a person’s age at death by the year they were in (so a 54-yearold was in his 55th year of age). Searching historical records,
however, Bellantoni and his researchers couldn’t find a combination of JB and NB with the correct ages. At the same time,
the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory—an agency
charged primarily with identifying remains of service members—extracted DNA from the bones of JB55, but wasn’t able
to match it to any living ancestors. The story appeared in local papers, and for nearly two decades, stories of the “Griswold
vampire” spread.
Independent researcher Katie Gagnon remembers hearing
the story as a child, causing her to avoid cemeteries for years.
By 2009, when she was looking into tuberculosis, she became
obsessed with determining JB55’s identity. “I have a chronic
disease and am disabled, so I’m always keenly aware of how
people with disease are treated and how they are turned into
monsters,” Gagnon says. “This was somebody’s father and husband, and a relative to people still alive today.” She scoured genealogical records and even visited the bones in Maryland, to
no avail. Finally, in 2016, a new test by the lab sequenced the
DNA on the Y-chromosome, inherited exclusively by the male
line, and matched it to a database assembled by commercial
company Family Tree DNA to find two matches, both with the
same surname: Barber.
“All of a sudden, I started seeing Barbers everywhere,” Gagnon says. In a database of cemetery inscriptions and newspaper notices, she found a death record for a Nathan Barber,
who died in Griswold in 1826, at age 12—and whose father
was named John. “It was the only thing that mapped out that
could possibly be right,” Gagnon says. She hasn’t been able to
pin down the family history of John Barber, though there are
several John Barbers in town records who might be candidates
for the exhumed corpse.
Meanwhile, the Armed Forces lab was able to determine
that JB55 likely had brown or hazel eyes, dark brown hair, and
fair skin with freckles. Analysts shared the information with
Parabon NanoLabs, a Virginia-based forensic DNA lab, which
used software to superimpose those features onto scans of the
skull to create a 3-D likeness of what John Barber likely looked
like, creating the first lifelike portrait of an accused vampire.
It’s satisfying to put a name and face to the historical record, says Gagnon, who hopes that with more people uploading their DNA to the database, she may be able to narrow his
identity further. “Especially now, after our country dealing
with a really recent pandemic,” she says, “it’s wildly important
to humanize these situations.”
Earlier this October, Jackson Barbour, a 28-year-old salesman from Kansas, uploaded his own DNA to Family Tree,
and was shocked to find that among notable connections was
“John Barber, Griswold Vampire.” “I was like, Who the heck
is this?” says Barbour, a history lover who’d traced his ancestry to Barbers from Rhode Island but had no clue a distant
cousin was suspected of being possessed by an undead spirit.
“My wife was cracking up,” Barbour says. “I never turn on the
lights—she’ll come into a room and I’ll be sitting in complete
darkness. And I’m not a big fan of garlic.”
Once the surprise wore off, Barbour spoke with Gagnon,
who explained the historical basis of the vampire legend, and
Barbour vowed to recruit more relatives for testing to help bet-

ter pin down John Barber’s story. “It just honestly seems really
sad to think about how desperate these people were, to dig up
a relative,” he says. “I can’t imagine the horror you have to go
through to do that.”
GERMAN SCIENTIST ROBERT KOCH finally isolated the bacterium that causes tuberculosis in 1882—and eight years later,
boldly claimed that he had discovered a cure as well. In reality, Koch’s cure didn’t work. It would take more than another
half-century before scientists created a vaccine to prevent the
disease.
Even after Koch’s discovery of the cause of tuberculosis, the
vampire ritual continued in New England—including the most
famous case of all: Exeter’s Mercy Brown. In December 1883,
Mercy’s mother died of TB when Mercy was just 11 years old.
The next June, her sister Olive followed her into the grave.
“Mercy would’ve lost her mother and her elder sister about
six months apart,” says Christa Carmen, a horror author from
Rhode Island who has written an unpublished novel based on
the legend. She stands now by Mercy’s grave in Exeter’s Chestnut Hill Cemetery, where she’s taken it upon herself to clean
up cigarette butts and other trash that often litters the plot,
and spruce it up with a vase of dahlias and a small pumpkin.
Carmen is petite and waifish, with long black hair parted in
the middle, and wears a pumpkin-orange dress along with
shoes with little motifs of black cats and jack-o-lanterns.
Mercy, she says, lived another eight years before dying in
January 1892 at age 19. She was put into the cemetery crypt
while gravediggers waited for the ground to thaw, and she
was transferred into her grave two months later. Meanwhile,
her brother Edwin showed worsening symptoms of consumption. When attempts to travel to Colorado for a fresh air cure
failed, he returned to Exeter, confined to his bed. That’s when

“It has always
bothered
me that
she’s called a
vampire and

tombstone.”

BROWN, RHODE
ISLAND’S “LAST
VAMPIRE.”

terrified townspeople began petitioning Mercy’s father, George
Brown, to dig up his family to check for signs of vampirism.
“George was very vocal about not believing in this superstition,” Carmen says. “But he did give permission for his daughter to be exhumed.” Neither George nor Edwin was present
in March when their neighbors dug up the body, finding that
only Mercy’s heart still showed traces of blood. Then, they
made a pyre right there in the cemetery and burned it. They
mixed the ashes with water and brought them to Edwin’s bedside, forcing him to drink the burned heart of his dead sister.
“Of course, it didn’t work,” says Carmen. Edwin died in May.
Mercy’s story, however, took on a life of its own when the
tabloid newspapers of the era ran with it as an example of the
superstitions of the benighted rural populace. Locally, her notoriety echoed down the years as Rhode Island’s “last vampire.”
Growing up in coastal Westerly 30 minutes away, Carmen
heard the stories about teenagers daring each other to spend
the night in the cemetery or leaving plastic vampire fangs on
her grave. Ghost hunters claimed to see spectral lights and
supposedly recorded her disembodied voice speaking from
beyond the grave. At one point, her tombstone was stolen. (It
was later recovered and is now bolted into concrete.)
Lost in the gruesome legend, Carmen says, was the 19-yearold girl who was probably terrified of the disease haunting her
family. “She was left to do all the housework on the farm, taking care of three younger siblings,” Carmen says. “What would
it be like during those eight years, knowing the disease could
come for you at any time?”
As she researched the story, Carmen became convinced the
true monster was Koch, a brilliant scientist to be sure, but also
a megalomaniac who carried out dangerous experiments on a
teenage mistress and, driven by rivalry with other scientists,
prematurely announced a cure, setting research back decades
and costing lives. “This man who was flawed in a lot of ways is
remembered as a hero and this girl is remembered as a vampire.”
In her novel, Carmen redeems Mercy, having her team up
with Koch’s recently emigrated assistant to search for a cure
for consumption before her death. “I love spooky things and
Halloween and I love the legend that has given her life after
death,” she says. “But in a way, it has always bothered me that
she’s called a vampire and people leave fangs on her tombstone.”
Carmen was nominated for a Bram Stoker Award for a
short story last year, and her first novel, a gothic mystery
called The Daughters of Block Island, is due out in December.
She hopes she can publish her Mercy Brown novel too, offering Mercy a different fate than the one she’s had for over a
century.
“It’s important to remember she was a 19-year-old girl.
And just like how scary it was when we were going through
COVID and didn’t know what was coming, she lived through
that fear for eight years,” Carmen says.
Maybe by offering Mercy some grace, she hopes, she can
also give her a little rest.

CONNECTIONS

The Tantrum
BY FIDAA SHAHEEN

20 minutes, and holding up the guest services
line, I watched as my nemesis was charmingly
disarmed by my son’s cool demeanor in mere
minutes. He had the reactivated pass and we
were on our way through the gates.
“What did you say to her?”
“Mom, it doesn’t matter what I said. The important thing is that it’s all good now.”
“It does matter, because I was talking to her
for 20 minutes and she refused to listen!”
“Mom, it’s not what I said, it’s how I said
it — you were panicking and... ”
“I was NOT panicking, I was... ”
“Mom, you were crying.”
“There may have been some tears,” I whimpered, “but they were panic-free.”
He wasn’t wrong. There I was at 50, having
a tantrum in the middle of Disney World while

my son had to come, calm me down, and take
care of things.
I wasn’t the least bit embarrassed. I was
actually giddy. This is amazing, I thought, as
we rushed through the crowds to catch up with
the rest of our family. I raised my boys to be
strong, independent people and they were now
infinitely smarter and more composed than me.
I didn’t have to be the adult anymore — this was
a revelation! I was finally free to be the one who
says, “But why? How does that work? What am I
doing wrong? Help me!”
I actually look forward to my next breakdown. Who knew a tantrum could be so much
fun? No wonder 3-year-olds throw them so often.

am sorry ma’am. This pass is not working. It has been flagged as lost,” the
guest services lady says flatly as she
looks past me at the ever-growing line
in front of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. It was my
50th birthday and I was thrilled to be back at
Disney World. I had spent months planning and
coordinating schedules with my three adult sons.
Yet somehow by day two I was in the middle of
a nervous breakdown, kept from entering, while
my family was already inside the park.
“I used this pass yesterday and it worked just
fine. As you can see it is not lost because I am
holding it, so can you please let me enter?”
“I am sorry, ma’am, it has been disabled, so
your only option is to purchase another pass.”
“I will not be purchasing another pass because I purchased this pass months ago and it is
in my hand so it is clearly not lost.”
“I am sorry, ma’am. ...” She continues
to sternly reiterate the same line, but I had
stopped listening—the pounding in my heart
was louder than her voice.
I was not used to this. Disney has always
been my happy place, and more than once I had
confidently managed three young boys while
navigating the park. I refereed countless arguments and negotiated compromises as we stood
on Main Street debating our plan of action for
the day while fighting over the map. I procured
primo seats for the parades and stood in endless
lines for my boys to get hugs from and pictures
with their favorite characters. As they got older,
I concocted divide-and-conquer plans so spots
in line could be saved while food was simultaneously purchased from multiple places to make
everyone happy.
Yet here I was, helpless, watching this woman’s mouth move as my negotiating superpowers were as disabled as my pass. By the time my
oldest son called to ask what the holdup was, I
burst into tears. He quickly arrived at guest services, put his arm around me, and said, “Mom,
you need to breathe and sit over here, I got this.”
My dear, sweet, firstborn child had come
to rescue me. And after talking in circles for
