Ukrainian forces pressed to thwart the Rus-

sian invasion, mounting counteroffensives on
multiple fronts and retaking a town outside of
Kyiv on Tuesday, while the more heavily
armed Russians, unable to gain a decisive up-
per hand, tried to pound Ukraine’s cities and
people into submission.
As the fighting seesawed around Kyiv,
Ukrainian soldiers prevailed in Makariv, a key
crossroads on the western approaches to the
city, while in the south of the country they
sought to reclaim the Kherson region. The
southern port of Mariupol still endured a bru-
tal siege, however, with the government saying
that some 100,000 civilians remained trapped
in that ruined city with little food, water, pow-
er, or heat.
“This war will not end easily or rapidly,”
Jake Sullivan, the US national security adviser,
told reporters on the eve of President Biden’s
departure for a NATO summit in Europe.
In Russia, President Vladimir Putin’s gov-
ernment, which had apparently expected a
lightning conquest, responded to its setbacks
in Ukraine and its plummeting reputation in
the West by expanding its recent draconian
crackdown on dissent, making it a criminal of-
fense to discredit the activities of all state
agencies working abroad, like embassies. A
Russian court sentenced the already impris-
oned opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who

Addicted to nicotine, more teens
finding they can’t quit vaping
By Kay Lazar
GLOBE STAFF
Terrifying.
That’s how Matthew Myers, president
of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids,
describes new research that indicates
teens are increasingly struggling with nic-
otine addiction, largely from vaping e-cig-
arettes.
The research, published Tuesday in
the Journal of the American Medical As-
sociation, finds much of the progress
made in nearly two decades of getting
kids to quit smoking may be backsliding
as so many teens are trying — but failing
— to quit vaping nicotine.
“If anything, concerns about the level
of addiction have been understated,” My-
ers said. “This demonstrates that kids try-
ing to quit e-cigarettes are failing at levels
we haven’t seen in years.”
The research, from the University of
Michigan’s annual Monitoring the Future
survey, comes at a pivotal time in nicotine
regulation in the United States. Congress
earlier this month adopted legislation
that gives the Food and Drug Administra-
tion new, explicit authority over synthetic
nicotine, which is made in a laboratory
and is increasingly used in e-cigarettes,
particularly sweet and fruit-flavored

Utah governor vetoes bill banning transgender girls from sports
SALT LAKE CITY — Utah
Governor Spencer Cox vetoed a
bill that would have banned
transgender students from play-
ing girls’ sports on Tuesday, be-
coming the second Republican
governor to overrule state law-
makers who have taken aim at
youth sports in a broader cul-

view gender.
Cox joins Governor Eric Hol-
comb of Indiana, who vetoed a

to get over them, the judge not-
ed.
“All of this would suggest to a
normal person that perhaps you
should not be entering the area,”
McFadden said from the bench.
But the judge said prosecu-
tors didn’t meet their burden to
prove that Griffin engaged in
disorderly conduct.
“Arguably, he was trying to
calm people down, not rile them
up,” he said.
Griffin’s trial in Washington,
D.C., was the second among the
hundreds of federal cases arising
from the Jan. 6, 2021, siege. Ear-
lier this month, in the first trial,
a jury convicted a Texas man,
Guy Wesley Reffitt, of storming
the Capitol with a holstered
handgun, interfering with police
and obstructing Congress’ joint
session to certify the Electoral
College vote.

could have a ripple effect, help-

jury decide their case.
But the case against Griffin is
unlike most Jan. 6 cases and
may not be a bellwether for de-

storming the Capitol.
Griffin is one of the few riot
defendants who wasn’t accused
of entering the Capitol building
or engaging in any violent or de-
structive behavior. His lawyers
argued that he was selectively
prosecuted for his political
views.
Griffin was charged with two
misdemeanors: entering and re-
maining in a restricted building
or grounds and disorderly and
disruptive conduct in a restrict-
ed building or grounds. Both
carry maximum sentences of
one year imprisonment.

First year of the
pandemic saw a
25 percent rise
By Roni Caryn Rabin
NEW YORK TIMES
The number of Americans
who died of alcohol-related
causes increased precipitously
during the first year of the
COVID-19 pandemic, as rou-
tines were disrupted, support
networks frayed, and treatment
was delayed, a study found.
The startling report comes
amid a growing realization that
COVID-19’s toll extends be-
yond the lives of nearly 1 mil-
lion Americans claimed direct-
ly by the disease to the excess
deaths caused by illnesses left
untreated and a surge in drug
overdoses.
Numerous reports have sug-
gested that Americans drank
more to cope with the stress of
the pandemic. Binge drinking
increased, as did emergency
room visits for alcohol with-
drawal. But the new report
found that the number of alco-
hol-related deaths, including
from liver disease and acci-
dents, soared, rising to 99,017
in 2020 from 78,927 in 2019 —
an increase of 25 percent in the
number of deaths in one year.
That compares with an av-
erage annual increase of 3.6
percent in alcohol-related
deaths be tween 1999 and
2019. Deaths started inching
up in recent years but in-
creased only 5 percent between
2018 and 2019.
The study, done by research-
ers with the National Institute
on Alcohol Abuse and Alcohol-
ism, a division of the National
Institutes of Health, was pub-
lished in The Journal of the
American Medical Association
on Friday. Using information
from death certificates, the re-
searchers included all deaths in
which alcohol was listed as an
underlying or contributing
cause. (Only a very small num-
ber also involved COVID-19.)
“The assumption is that
there were lots of people who
were in recovery and had re-
duced access to support that
spring and relapsed,” said Aar-
on White, the report’s first au-
thor and a senior scientific ad-
viser at the alcohol abuse insti-
tute.

bench trial, in which judges de-
cide a case without a jury. Griffin
said he doesn’t regret waiving
his right to a jury trial.
Loyola Law School professor
Laurie Levenson said the convic-
tion for entering restricted
grounds helps establish for the
government that the area was off
limits to the public and will dis-
courage other defendants from
using similar arguments.
“This will send a message to
other defendants that they are
unlikely to win on a technical ar-
gument that the areas outside
the Capitol were not off limits,”
Levenson said.
The verdicts also may lead
some defendants facing the
same charges as Griffin to go to
trial if they believe the judge de-
ciding their fate has a high stan-
dard of what constitutes disor-
derly conduct, Levenson said.
Still, Levenson said the argu-
ment wouldn’t be helpful to de-
fendants who entered the Capi-
tol building or committed vio-
lence on Capitol grounds.
sion, and planetwide uncer-
tainty about what was coming
next,” he said. “That’s a lot of
pressure on people who are try-
ing to maintain recovery.”
Among adults younger than
65, alcohol-related deaths actu-
ally outnumbered deaths from
COVID-19 in 2020; 74,408
Americans ages 16-64 died of
alcohol-related causes, while
74,075 individuals younger
than 65 died of COVID-19. The
rate of increase for alcohol-re-
lated deaths in 2020 — 25 per-
cent — outpaced the rate of in-
crease of deaths from all causes,
which was 16.6 percent.
The alcohol-related deaths
went up for everybody — men,
women, as well as every ethnic
and racial group.
Drug-overdose deaths also
reached record levels during
the first year of the pandemic,
with more than 100,000 Amer-
icans dying of overdoses dur-
ing the 12-month period that
ended in April, a nearly 30 per-
cent increase over the previous
year, according to reports is-
sued in November. The num-
ber of deaths from opioids in
which alcohol played a role al-
so increased.
Adults ages 25-44 experi-
enced the greatest increases in
alcohol-related deaths in 2020,
rising nearly 40 percent over
the previous year, according to
the new report.
Available data for 2021 in-
dicate that alcohol-related
deaths remained elevated,
White said, but he added that it
was hard to say whether that
indicated a continuation of the
trend because alcohol con-
sumption and deaths generally
drop in February after the holi-
days and then trend back up.
“ May b e t h e y ’ l l go bac k
down,” he said, “but this could
be the new norm.”
The crisis has been brewing
for years, as drinking among
adults has been increasing
even as drinking among ado-
lescents has fallen off, said
Katherine Keyes, a professor of
epidemiology at Columbia Uni-
versity.
“As with many pandemic-
related outcomes, this is an ex-
acerbation of issues that were
beginning before the pandemic
for many people,” Keyes said.
“Drinking has been going up
for 10 or 15 years among
adults, and the trend accelerat-
ed in 2020, as some of the mo-
tivations to drink changed:
Stress-related drinking in-
creased, and drinking due to
boredom increased.”

No survivors found in China plane crash
Rescue workers
still search
into the night
By Chris Buckley
and Keith Bradsher
NEW YORK TIMES
Emergency workers have
found no survivors more than
24 hours after a Boeing 737
plane carr ying 132 people
crashed in southern China, offi-
cials said Tuesday.
Hundreds of firefighters, po-
lice officers, and paramilitary
troops scoured the hillsides for
survivors, using flashlights into
the night Tuesday. But the likeli-
hood that anyone made it out
alive appeared increasingly slim.
The China Eastern Airlines
plane, Flight MU5735, had
plunged from 29,000 feet in the
air to earth Monday in Teng
County in the region of
Guangxi, scattering burning de-
bris across the remote country-
side. At the crash site, workers
found parts of the plane, as well
as personal belongings such as
identity cards, purses, and cell-
phones, news reports said.

so foc used on locating the

Trudeau forms
coalition with
opposition party
OTTAWA — Prime Minis-
ter Justin Trudeau of Canada
on Tuesday announced an al-
liance with a left-of-center
opposition party that will
give him the secure hold on
power that eluded him in last
year’s election.
Trudeau said he has for-
mally agreed to advance is-
sues important to that oppo-
sition party, the New Demo-
crats, in exchange for its
continued support of his Lib-
eral Party on key votes in the
House of Commons until
2025.
“This agreement is not
about compromising the
core beliefs of either of our
parties or denying the differ-
ences between us,” Trudeau
said at a news conference.
“What it is about is making
sure that those differences
don’t stand in the way of de-
livering for Canadians.”
In the election in the fall,
Trudeau failed to get a ma-
jority of seats in the House of
Commons for the second
consecutive time. As a result,
he has had to rely on the ad
hoc support of opposition
parties to pass legislation,
leaving open the prospect
that his government could
fall at any moment.
The agreement, Trudeau
said, “is a responsible answer
to the uncertainty we’re in, to
the challenges facing democ-
racies with hyper partisan-
ship and toxic polarization.”
As a result of the agree-
ment with the New Demo-
crats, Trudeau said, the gov-
ernment would work toward
adding drug and dental care
to the public health system,
further develop a national
day-care program, and ad-
vance affordable housing
plans promoted by the New
Democrats.
At a separate news con-
ference, Jagmeet Singh, lead-
er of the New Democrats,
said that having a formal
agreement was critical to his
decision to back the Liberals.
“If they fall short on what
we’ve agreed to, then the
deal doesn’t continue,” Singh
said. “But I’m going into this
with a strong conviction that
we can get this done.”
Even before the agree-
ment was formally an-
nounced, the Conservatives
were characterizing it as a
betrayal of voters and as the
formation of a joint Liberal-
New Democrat government.

news conference in Wuzhou
city, near the crash site. Black

determining what caused the

officials had uncovered little in-
formation so far.
“The aircraft was severely
damaged in this accident, and
the investigation is very diffi-
cult,” he said. “With the infor-
mation currently available, it is
still impossible to make a clear
judgment on the cause.”
Zhu confirmed a few details
about the trajectory of the plane
that had emerged in flight data
shared by Flightradar24, a
tracking platform, while also
describing for the first time how
air traffic controllers had tried
to contact the plane when they
noticed something amiss.
The plane been cruising at
about 29,000 feet around 2:17
p.m. Monday, he said, but a few
minutes later, air traffic control-
lers had noticed that the plane
had suddenly lost altitude. He
said the controllers immediately
called the plane crew but did not
receive a reply after several at-
tempts. By 2:23 p.m., the plane’s
radar signal disappeared, he
said, and it had crashed.

partment official involved in the
search, told the state broadcast-
er that his team had not found
any survivors but had seen “rel-
at i v e l y l a r ge f ra g m e n t s o f
wings, as well as remains.”
Investigators will also be
searching for evidence of what
caused the crash.
It is unclear how much data
could be retrieved from the
flight recorders, according to
Mike Daniels, a former Federal
Aviation Administration acci-

commander, Peretz Amar, said.
The attacker next returned
to his car, drove to a shopping
center and stabbed three more
women, one of whom died,
Amar said. The attacker then
drove to a nearby roundabout,
crashed into a second car, got
out and fatally stabbed a fourth
civilian, Amar said.
Two armed passersby tried
to pacify the attacker before
for a forensic examination to
determine the weapon used.
Such crimes are uncom-
mon in Sweden, but in the
past year, there has been a se-
ries of attacks in the country’s
schools.
On Jan. 10, police arrested
a 16-year-old student after he
stabbed a teacher and a fellow
student at a high school in the
city of Kristianstad in south-
ern Sweden. In August, a
masked 15-year-old boy with a
camera on his helmet stabbed
a teacher at a middle school in
Eslov, an attack that a prose-
cutor said was a hate crime,
according to the Aftonbladet
newspaper. Both victims sur-
vived the attacks.
Stenkula said it was too
early to determine the motive
for Monday’s killings or the re-
lationship between the teach-
ers and the student.

9m children to get polio vaccines in Africa
CAPE TOWN — A drive to
vaccinate more than 9 mil-
lion children against polio
has been launched this week
in four countries in southern
and eastern Africa after an
outbreak was confirmed in
Malawi.
The vaccination campaign
has started in Malawi, where
drops of the inoculation are
being placed in the mouths of
children across the country.
The campaign will be ex-
panded on Thursday to in-
clude the neighboring coun-
tries of Mozambique, Tanza-
nia, and Zambia, according
to UNICEF, which is working
with the governments and
other partners.
Three more rounds of vac-
cinations will follow in the
coming months with a goal of
reaching more than 20 mil-
lion children.
“This is the first case of

China’s civil aviation author-
ity announced a two-week drive
of intensified safety checks on
planes. Nearly three-quarters of
11,800 flights that had been
scheduled for Tuesday in China
were canceled, Bloomberg re-
ported, citing VariFlight, an avi-
ation data firm.
Many people on Chinese so-
cial media sites have noted that
China had gone 4,226 days
without a major aviation acci-
dent, an enviable record after a
string of disasters in the 1990s
and early 2000s.
The crash has already at-
tracted a rush of speculation on-
line about the cause.
Aviation experts have said
the unusual trajectory of the
plane — flying steadily, then
turning sharply downward —
opened up a range of possible
explanations, including foul
play or catastrophic equipment
failure. But they emphasized
that it was too early to do more
than hypothesize about why the
plane sped downward without
any apparent warning signs.

Pakistan
leader
fights for
survival
Demands grow
for his resignation
By Salman Masood
NEW YORK TIMES
ISLAMABAD — Prime Minis-
ter Imran Khan of Pakistan is
fighting for his political survival
after opposition political parties
have moved for a no-confidence
motion in Parliament and the
country’s powerful military has
withdrawn its support for his
government.
Khan, the former cricket-
star-turned-politician, has an-
nounced plans to gather 1 mil-
lion supporters in Islamabad,
appealed to the Supreme Court
to disqualify lawmakers who
have defected from his party and
denounced his critics as part of a
US-influenced conspiracy.
But as demands for his resig-
nation mount, critics and ana-
lysts say he has lost his majority
in Parliament and these mea-
sures are unlikely to change that.
“He rightly senses that the
end could be near,” said Arif
Rafiq, president of Vizier Con-
sulting, a political risk advisory
company in New York. “And he’s
a fighter. But it simply just
doesn’t look like he’ll have the
numbers to survive a vote of no
confidence.”
Pakistan, the world’s second-
largest Muslim country, has
been a reluctant if important US
partner in the campaign against
terrorism. A nuclear-armed
country that backs the Taliban
government in neighboring Af-
ghanistan, it has drifted further
from the United States under
Khan, embracing a strategic
partnership with China and clos-
er ties with Russia.
But the political threats to
Khan are primarily domestic.
Pakistan has been buffeted by
double-digit inflation, leading to
widespread dissatisfaction and
fueling criticism that he has mis-
managed the economy.
In addition, he has lost the
backing of the military, seeming-
ly over his effort to place a loyal
aide and former spy chief, Lieu-
tenant General Faiz Hamid, in
charge of the army over the ob-
jections of the top brass.
And as opposition parties ex-
ploit these weaknesses, Khan’s
scorched-earth politics have left
him with few friends and little
negotiating room. He has at one
time or another jailed most of
the major opposition leaders.
They are now out on bail, but
Khan has threatened to lock
them up again.
The denouement is likely to
come in a vote in Parliament as
soon as next week that, if it goes
as expected, would extend Paki-
stan’s record of never allowing a
prime minister to serve a full
five-year term. But Khan’s heavy-
handed tactics and the prospect
of competing mass rallies in Is-
lamabad this weekend have also
raised fears of violence that
could upend any democratic
process.
Three major allied political
parties that are part of the gov-
erning coalition have now indi-
cated that they could side with
the opposition in the parliamen-
tary vote. That would be enough
to topple Khan’s government.
Opposition leaders also claim
to have the support of dozens of
dissidents within Khan’s party,
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. Last
week, his party was rocked by
the defection of at least a dozen
lawmakers who accused their
leader of failing to tackle infla-
tion. “The ruling coalition has ef-
fectively lost the majority,” said
Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar, a sena-
tor belonging to the opposition
Pakistan Peoples Party. “The mil-
itary also appears to be uninter-
ested in saving Imran Khan.”
Khan was elected in 2018,
running as a nationalist promis-
ing to fight corruption, put the
country’s anemic economy back
on track and maintain an inde-
pendent, anti-American foreign
policy. But aside from the last, he
has struggled to fulfill those
promises.

Fears grow subvariant may push up US cases Report:
With coronavirus cases ris-
ing in parts of Europe and Asia,
scientists worry that an extra-
contagious
VIRUS version of the
NOTEBOOK Omicron vari-
ant may soon
push cases up in the United
States, too.
Experts are also keeping
their eyes on another mutant: a
rare Delta-Omicron hybrid that
they say doesn’t pose much of a
threat right now but shows how
wily the coronavirus can be.
The United States is likely to
see an uptick in cases caused by
the Omicron descendant BA.2
starting in the next few weeks,
according to Dr. Eric Topol,
head of Scripps Research Trans-
lational Institute.
“It’s inevitable we will see a
BA.2 wave here,” he said.
One reason? After about two
months of falling COVID-19
cases, pandemic restrictions
have been lifted across the
country. Many people are taking
off their masks and returning to
indoor spaces like restaurants
and theaters.
And the latest data from the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention shows the share
caused by BA.2 is up significant-
ly. The CDC reported Tuesday
that the variant accounted for
about 35 percent of new infec-
tions last week. In the North-
east, it was about half.
Keri Althoff, a researcher at
Johns Hopkins Bloomberg
School of Public Health, cau-
tioned that CDC case counts un-
derestimate the true numbers
because some people are no lon-
ger getting tested and others are
testing at home and not report-
ing the results. Also, she said,
not every specimen is genetical-
ly sequenced to determine the
variant.
It’s clear, she said, ‘‘BA.2 is
coming onto the scene.”
One reason the variant has
gained ground, scientists say, is
that it’s about 30 percent more
contagious than the original
Omicron. In rare cases, research
shows it can sicken people even
if they’ve already had an Omi-
cron infection.

WHO official: Europeans
eased restrictions too soon
Daily reports of new corona-
virus cases are increasing in 18
European countries, including
Britain, France, Germany, and
Italy, because authorities are re-
laxing pandemic restrictions too
quickly, a senior World Health
Organization official in the re-
gion said Tuesday.
The official — Dr. Hans

as BA.2.

the 18 countries “are lifting
those restrictions brutally, from
too much to too few.”
Despite the most recent
surge in cases, he said he saw
reasons for optimism, because
of the large proportion of people
in most of the countries who
may have some level of immuni-
ty either from a past infection or
from being vaccinated. Scien-
tists have cautioned that the
protection against infection
may wane over time, and future
variants may be better able to
sidestep our defenses. Kluge al-
so noted that warming spring
weather would help, as people
spend more time outdoors and
less in crowded indoor spaces
where the virus spreads the
most readily.
Kluge noted that mortality
from COVID-19 was still declin-
ing in the 18 countries. Even so,
he said, it remains a deadly
threat in the WHO’s 53-country
Europe region, which also in-
cludes Israel and all of the for-
mer Soviet Union. Some 20,000
deaths related to the coronavi-
rus were reported in the region
last week, he said.
NEW YORK TIMES
White House says US has
used all funds for boosters
WASHINGTON — The Biden
administration lacks the funds
to buy a potential fourth coro-
navirus vaccine dose for every-
one, even as other countries
place their own orders and po-
tentially move ahead of the
United States in line, adminis-
tration officials said Monday.
The population has plum-
meted since colonies infected
with white-nose syndrome were
spotted in New York caves in the
mid-2000s. The bat is likely to
go extinct without a dramatic
turnaround, the US Fish and
Wildlife Service said.
“It’s going to be difficult but
we're going to do everything hu-
manly possible to stop the de-
cline,” said Charlie Wooley, di-
rector of the service's Midwest
region.
Named for white, fuzzy spots
that appear on infected bats,
white-nose syndrome attacks
their wings, muzzles, and ears as
they hibernate in caves and
abandoned mines.
It causes them to become ac-
tive and sometimes fly outside
too soon. They burn up their
winter fat stores and eventually
starve.
Where the fungus originated
is unknown, but scientists say it
may be carried on people’s
clothes and shoes. It has spread
to a dozen US bat species, but
the nor thern long-eared is
among the hardest hit.
Found in 37 central and East-
ern states and much of Canada,
it roosts alone or in small groups
during summer in tree cavities
or crevices, or beneath the bark.
Emerging at dusk, it flits
through forests to feed on
moths, beetles, and other in-
sects.

Federal regulators and
health officials have not yet de-
termined whether a fourth shot
is needed, and some experts
question whether the extra dose
will be necessary to boost pro-
tection for the general popula-
tion.
But administration officials
said placing orders for addition-
al doses ahead of time, rather
than waiting for the United
States to be swamped by anoth-
er wave of the virus, was imper-
ative and a key lesson from the
pandemic’s past two years. They
also noted that the fast-moving
Omicron variant evaded some
immune protection conferred
by existing vaccines, demon-
strating the need to invest in
more targeted shots that could
better fend off Omicron and po-
tential future variants.
Analysts at Kaiser Family
Foundation, a nonpartisan
health research organization,
independently confirmed that
the United States would need to
buy hundreds of millions of ad-
ditional doses to ensure that ev-
ery American could receive four
shots.

white-nose syndrome has

of its range and is expected to
cover it all by 2025.
Scientists have no estimate of
how many remain, said Shauna
Marquardt, supervisor of the
agency’s ecological field office
for Minnesota and Wisconsin.

97 to 100 percent in caves where
population surveys have been

China building makeshift
hospitals to tackle COVID
Each of China’s provinces
should set up at least two to
three makeshift hospitals to
treat COVID infections amid
Omicron’s explosive spread in
the country, according to the
country’s National Health Com-
mission.
The move came after China
updated its COVID treatment
guidelines last week to reserve
designated hospitals for those
with severe conditions, while
patients with mild symptoms
should be sent to isolation facili-
ties to avoid overwhelming the
medical system.
A total of 33 makeshift hos-
pitals have been built, or are
currently under construction, to
provide 35,000 beds, Jiao Yahui,
an official with National Health
Commission, said at a Tuesday
briefing. Some 31 local govern-
ments are required to come up
with plans to ensure the hospi-
tals can be put into use within
two days when needed.

Winter hibernation areas also
need security, he said.
“We have a strong founda-
tion in place for working with
stakeholders to conserve the bat
while allowing economic activi-
ties within the range to continue
to occur, and will continue to
build on these,” an agency state-
ment said.
Wind turbines also pose a
danger to migrating bats, al-
though much less than white-
nose syndrome, Marquardt said.
The wind energy industry has 16
habitat conservation plans and
is developing 13 others, she said.
The Fish and Wildlife Service
is leading a campaign involving
more than 150 agencies, private
organizations and Native Ameri-
can tribes to research white-
nose syndrome, reduce its pres-
ence where bats hibernate, and
help the bats recover. Work on a
vaccine is underway, Marquardt
said.
Approval of the endangered
status and stepped-up rescue ef-
forts are urgently needed, said
Winifred Frick, chief scientist
for Bat Conservation Interna-
tional, a research and advocacy
group.
“We either need to find a so-
lution to white-nose syndrome
or ways to improve the body
conditions of the bats that are
still remaining on the landscape
to have the best chance of sur-
vival,” Frick said.
Facebook
approved
hate ads
Messages attack
Rohingya group
By Victoria Milko
and Barbara Ortutay
ASSOCIATED PRESS
JAKARTA, Indonesia — A
new report has found that Face-
book failed to detect blatant hate
speech and calls to violence
against Myanmar’s Rohingya
Muslim minority years after
such behavior was found to have
played a determining role in the
genocide against them.
The report shared exclusively
with the Associated Press
showed the rights group Global
Witness submitted eight paid
ads for approval to Facebook,
each including different versions
of hate speech against Rohingya.
All eight ads were approved by
Facebook to be published.
The group pulled the ads be-
fore they were posted or paid for,
but the results confirmed that,
despite its promises to do better,
Facebook’s leaky controls still
fail to detect hate speech and
calls for violence on its platform.
Myanmar’s army conducted
what it called a clearance cam-
paign in western Rakhine state
in 2017 after an attack by a Roh-
ingya insurgent group. More
than 700,000 Rohingya fled into
neighboring Bangladesh and se-
curity forces were accused of
mass rapes, killings, and torch-
ing thousands of homes.
On Monday, Secretary of
State Antony Blinken an-
nounced that the United States
views the violence against Roh-
ingya as genocide. The declara-
tion is intended to both generate
international pressure and lay
the groundwork for potential le-
gal action, Blinken said.
Experts say that hate ads
have continued to appear on Fa-
cebook and that, despite assur-
ances that it has taken its role in
the genocide seriously, the com-
pany still fails even the simplest
of tests — ensuring that paid ads
that run on its site do not con-
tain hate speech calling for the
killing of Rohingya Muslims.
“The current killing of the
Kalar is not enough, we need to
kill more!” read one proposed
paid post from Global Witness,
using a slur often used in Myan-
mar to refer to people of east In-
dian or Muslim origin.
“They are very dirty. The Ben-
gali/Rohingya women have a
very low standard of living and
poor hygiene. They are not at-
tractive,” read another.
“These posts are shocking in
what they encourage and are a
clear sign that Facebook has not
changed or done what they told
the public what they would do:
properly regulate themselves,”
said Ronan Lee, a research fel-
low at the Institute for Media
a n d C r e at i v e In d u s t r i e s at
Loughborough University, Lon-
don.
The eight ads from Global
Witness all used hate speech lan-
guage taken directly from the
United Nations Independent In-
ternational Fact-Finding Mis-
sion on Myanmar in their report
to the Human Rights Council.
Several examples were from past
Facebook posts.
The fact that Facebook ap-
proved all eight ads is especially
concerning because the compa-
ny claims to hold advertise-
ments to an “even stricter” stan-
dard than regular, unpaid posts,
according to their help center
page for paid advertisements.
Facebook's parent company
Meta Platforms Inc. said it has
invested in improving its safety
and security controls in Myan-
mar, including banning military
accounts after the Tatmadaw, as
the armed forces are locally
known, seized power and im-
prisoned elected leaders in a
February 2021 coup.
“We’ve built a dedicated team
of Burmese speakers, banned
the Tatmadaw, disrupted net-
works manipulating public de-
bate, and taken action on harm-
ful misinformation to help keep
people safe. We’ve also invested
in Burmese-language technology
to reduce the prevalence of vio-
lating content,” Rafael Frankel,
director of public policy for
emerging markets at Meta Asia
Pacific wrote in an e-mailed
statement to AP on March 17.

WASHINGTON — Judge Ket-

her work representing terror de-

abusers as she presented herself
as a firm believer in judicial re-

Under intense questioning

immigration violators had to be
exempted from the narrower
priorities, including those whose
immigration or criminal viola-
tions are subject to mandatory

Newman's decision comes
days after ICE issued a report
confirming that civil immigra-
tion arrests and deportations
from the interior of the United
States had reached their lowest
levels in decades. Critics accused
the Biden administration of fail-
ing to deport immigrants who
committed crimes or remained

how anti-liberal-Democrat they

Rothenberg, senior editor of the
nonpartisan Inside Elections

And Republican strategist
Ron Bonjean said the hearings
offer something else: a stage de-
void of the party’s most domi-
nating presence.
“This is the opportunity for
Senate Republicans who get out-
shined by Trump outside of
Washington to capture a moment
inside of Washington where the
spotlight is on them,” said Bon-
jean, who helped guide Supreme
Court Justice Neil Gorsuch’s Su-
preme Court nomination through
the Senate in 2017. “Those made-
for-TV sound bites can last forev-
er in somebody’s career.”
Past high-profile hearings
helped boost the name recogni-
tion, credentials, and platforms
of presidential candidates or
lawmakers considering running.
In 2007, Hillary Clinton, Barack
Obama, and John McCain, all
declared White House candi-
dates at that point, used Senate
hearings on the surge of troops
to Iraq to promote their views on
the war.
And in 2018, the contentious
Judiciary Committee hearings
on Kavanaugh helped elevate
then-senators Harris, Cor y
Booker, and Amy Klobuchar.
They all touted their tough ques-
tioning of Kavanaugh, who faced
sexual assault allegations he ve-
hemently denied, as evidence of
their ability to challenge then-
president Donald Trump.
A video clip of Harris chal-
lenging Kavanaugh on abortion
rights went viral: “Can you think
of any laws that give government
the power to make decisions
about the male body?” she asked
him. Klobuchar sparred with
Kavanaugh over his drinking

senators.
While Republicans had ini-
tially been wary of the optics of
attacking the first Black woman
to be put forward for the Su-
preme Court, some GOP mem-
bers on the panel assailed Jack-
son’s record in a series of tense
exchanges in which they implied
that she was soft on crime, par-
ticularly when it came to child
sexual abuse, and an extremist
on matters of race.
Seeing an opening to score
political points if not block her
confirmation, they hit on mid-
term campaign themes that
have become rallying cries for
conservatives and their hard-
right base, returning often to
the subject of pedophilia, the
central false allegation against
Democrats that underlies the
pro-Trump conspiracy theory
QAnon.
Pointing to her writings
about and sentencing of child
sex offenders, Senator Ted Cruz,
Republican of Texas, a classmate
of Jackson at Har vard L aw

maintained that setting priori-

Newman said he thought the
states would likely succeed in
their contention that the nar-
rower priorities ran afoul of con-
gressional intent and placed an
unfair burden on state budgets.
The breadth of the order's
impact was not immediately
clear, but it did not appear to

allegations. And Booker made a
point of noting during the hear-
ings that he was violating Senate
rules in releasing confidential
committee documents about Ka-
vanaugh, leading the New Jersey
senator to declare it an “‘I am
Spartacus’ moment,” a reference
to the rebel gladiator in the clas-
sic 1960 Hollywood film.
“They all got a lot of ink out
of it. They all got some pretty
good reviews out of it,” Rothen-
berg said of the Democratic sen-
ators. “I think smart politicians
use these opportunities to show

Cruz on Monday referred to
the Kavanaugh hearings as “a
circus that featured Spartacus
moments” and “one of the low-
est moments in the history of
this committee,” echoing other
Republicans who have used
Jackson’s hearings to criticize
how Democrats handled past
conservative nominees. He be-

S.F. votes to recall three
school board members
SAN FRANCISCO — San
Francisco residents overwhelm-
ingly recalled three members of
the city’s school board Tuesday
for what critics called misplaced
priorities and putting progres-
sive politics over the needs of
children during the pandemic.
“The voters of this city have
delivered a clear message that
the school board must focus on
the essentials of delivering a
below the probation office’s rec-
ommendation.
In his opening statement,
Cotton acc used President
Biden’s nominees of being soft
on crime. It was the same criti-
cism he leveled against Rachael
Rollins, the former Suffolk Dis-
trict attorney nominated by
Biden to be the first Black wom-
an to serve as US attorney for
Massachusetts. The Arkansas
senator stalled Rollins’s ulti-
mately successful confirmation
vote last year.
On Tuesday, Cotton peppered
Jackson with questions about
crime and attacked her decision
to reduce the mandatory 20-year
sentence of a man convicted of
distributing heroin.
“You twisted the law and you
rewrote it so you could cut the
sentence of a drug kingpin,” Cot-
ton said. Jackson responded that
Congress had passed a law that
allowed her to review the sen-
tence in the case and she decid-
ed it had been too long.
Blackburn, of Tennessee,
who recently spurred 2024 spec-
ulation with a trip to New
Hampshire and plans for one to
Iowa, unsuccessfully pressed
truth,” Jackson responded.
“These are some of the most dif-
ficult cases that a judge has to
deal with, because we’re talking
about sex abuse of children.”
And she gave a lengthy expla-
nation of how she arrived at sen-
tences in such cases.
“I impose a strict sentence
and all of the additional re-
straints that are available in the
law,” Jackson said. “I am impos-
ing all of those constraints be-
cause I understand how signifi-
cant, how damaging, how horri-
ble this crime is.”
But the issue surfaced again
later Tuesday, when Senator
Josh Hawley, Republican of Mis-
souri, grilled her about her deci-
sion to sentence an 18-year-old
defendant to three months of
jail time for possession of imag-
es of child sexual abuse. Hawley,
who has led the charge to attack
Jackson’s record on sentencing
such offenders, repeatedly asked
her why she gave the man a
shorter sentence than the guide-
lines recommended.
Jackson, appearing exasper-
ated, argued that Congress had
required judges to take into ac-
count various factors, including
the age of the defendant, and

CRISIS IN UKRAINE
Ukraine pushes back and sees gains

Ukraine, to nine more years in
prison on fraud charges.
A Pentagon assessment con-
cluded that Russia’s “combat
power” in Ukraine had for the
first time dipped below 90 per-
cent of its original force — the
more than 150,000 troops
massed in western Russia and
Belarus before the Feb. 24 inva-
sion. That reflected steady loss-
es suffered by the Russian mili-
tary, to an extent that US offi-
cials say can leave units unable
to carry out combat duties.
Russian forces were “strug-
gling on many fronts,” including
routine supply lines and logis-
tics, according to a senior De-
fense Department official, who
was not authorized to discuss
details of Russia’s actions in
Ukraine on the record. The Pen-
tagon had even seen indications
that some Russian troops had
been e vac uated beca use of
frostbite, the official said.
The official declined to ad-
dress Russian casualty num-
bers, though the Pentagon esti-
mated last week that at least
7,000 Russians had been killed.
New satellite imagery ana-
lyzed by The New York Times
showed that Russia had re-
moved all of its aircraft from
the airport of the southern city
of Kherson, the largest city that
the Russian forces have cap-
tured. Ukrainian forces have
claimed to hit the airport twice,
destroying an undetermined
number of helicopters. The re-
moval is a telltale sign that the
Russians are struggling as they
seek to control the region, ex-
perts said.
The removal of the equip-
ment, visible by comparing pic-
tures taken by the space imag-
ing company Planet Labs over
six days, comes as the Ukraini-
an army is pressing to reclaim
lost territory in the Kherson re-
gion.
Control over Kherson, taken
by Russia on March 2, is essen-
tial in any effort to control the
south of Ukraine. But Russia
has failed to dominate the re-
gion as a whole.
Dmitry Peskov, the spokes-
person for Putin, repeatedly re-
fused to rule out the possibility
of Russia using nuclear weap-
ons, during a television inter-
view Tuesday. When asked un-
d e r w h a t c o n d i t i o n s Pu t i n
would use such weapons, Pesk-
ov told CNN, “if it is an existen-
tial threat for our country, then
it can be.” While he did not de-
fine “existential threat,” in the
past Russian officials have sug-
gested that it meant an attack
on Russia itself, but the inva-
BOGGED DOWN
As Russia stalls, dissent brews over Putin’s leadership
By Anton Troianovski
and Michael Schwirtz
NEW YORK TIMES
In Januar y, the head of a
group of serving and retired
Russian military officers de-
clared that invading Ukraine
would be “pointless and ex-
tremely dangerous.” It would kill
thousands, he said, make Rus-
sians and Ukrainians enemies
for life, risk a war with NATO,
and threaten “the existence of
Russia itself as a state.”
To m a n y R u s s i a n s , t h a t
seemed like a far-fetched scenar-
io, since few imagined that an
invasion of Ukraine was really
possible. But two months later,
as Russia’s advance stalls in
Ukraine, the prophecy looms
large. Reached by phone this
week, the retired general who
authored the declaration, Le-
onid Ivashov, said he stood by it,
although he could not speak
freely given Russia’s wartime
censorship: “I do not disavow
what I said.”
In Russia, the slow going and
the heavy toll of President Vladi-
mir Putin’s war on Ukraine are
setting off questions about his
military’s planning capability,
his confidence in his top spies
and loyal defense minister, and
the quality of the intelligence
that reaches him. It also shows
the pitfalls of Putin’s top-down
governance, in which officials
and military officers have little
leeway to make their own deci-

sion of Ukraine has thrown pre-
vious policy into question.
It is hard to assess the cur-
rent landscape of the war there,
with a senior US defense official
only characterizing the fighting
as “a very dynamic, active bat-
tlefront.”
The Pentagon has seen no
indication that Russian forces
are moving toward the use of
chemical or biological weapons,
the official said.
On Monday, Biden stressed
the possibility that Putin might
turn to such weapons, which
are banned by international
treaty. “His back is against the
wall,” Biden said at a meeting of
US business leaders.
Biden is due to attend a sum-
mit of NATO leaders in Brussels
on Thursday that among other
issues will discuss a potential
response to any such weapons.
The United States will also an-
nounce new sanctions on Rus-
sia in conjunction with its
NATO allies, said Sullivan.
“For the past few months,
the West has been united,” he
said. “The president is traveling
to Europe to ensure we stay
united, to cement our collective
resolve, to send a powerful mes-
sage that we are prepared and
committed to this for as long as
it takes.”
sions and adapt to developments
in real-time.
The failures of Putin’s cam-
paign are apparent in the strik-
ing number of senior military
commanders believed to have
been killed in the fighting.
Ukraine says it has killed at least
six Russian generals, while Rus-
sia acknowledges one of their
deaths, along with that of the
deputy commander of its Black
Sea fleet. US officials say they
cannot confirm the number of
Russian troop deaths, but that
Russia’s invasion plan appears to
have been stymied by bad intelli-
gence.
The lack of progress is so ap-
parent that a blame game has
begun among some Russian sup-
porters of the war — even as
Russian propaganda claims that
the slog is a consequence of the
military’s care to avoid harming
civilians. Igor Girkin, a former
colonel in Russia’s FSB intelli-
gence agency and the former
“defense minister” of Russian-
backed separatists in eastern
Ukraine, said in a video inter-
view posted online on Monday
that Russia had made a “cata-
strophically incorrect assess-
ment” of Ukraine’s forces.
“The enemy was underesti-
mated in every aspect,” Girkin
said.
The Russian forces’ poor per-
formance has also surprised ana-
lysts, who predicted at the start
of the war that Russia’s massive,

troops had raised the blue and
gold Ukrainian flag over Makar-
iv, about 40 miles west of Kyiv,
where control has repeatedly
changed hands. The town abuts
the key highway that leads from
the capital to western Ukraine
and Lviv, so keeping it out of
Russian hands is important in
the effort to prevent Kyiv from
being encircled.
The Russians had not been
able to advance beyond 9 miles
northwest of Kyiv or 18 miles
from the city’s east — essentially
where they were last week, the
senior Pentagon official said.
The Ukrainian determina-
tion to push back extended to
the air force and air defense
units, which have managed to
continue fighting despite being
vastly outnumbered and out-
gunned by the Russians.

“ There was probably the
hope that they wouldn’t resist so
intensely,” Evgeny Buzhinsky, a
retired lieutenant general and a
regular Russian state television
commentator, said of Ukraine’s
forces. “They were expected to
be more reasonable.”
As if responding to criticism,
Putin has said repeatedly in his
public comments about the war
that it is going “according to
plan.”
“We can definitively say that
nothing is going to plan,” coun-
tered Pavel Luzin, a Russian mili-
tary analyst. “It has been decades

praised the “heroic” resistance
of the Ukrainians against the

Draghi said that Italy had

worth of assets from Russian
oligarchs and was working to
overcome its dependency on
Russian energy supplies as fast
as possible.

rocketing food, energy, and fer-
tilizer prices threatening to spi-
ral into a global hunger crisis,”
he said. Guterres repeated his
plea for Russia to stop the war,
calling for serious negotiations.

ing of Navalny was widely seen

ability to address the outside

armies have seen such great loss-
es in such a short period of time.”
Russia last announced its
combat losses three weeks ago —
498 deaths as of March 2. US of-
ficials now say that a conserva-
tive estimate puts the Russian
military death toll at 7,000. Rus-
sia says it lost a total of 11,000
service members in nearly a de-
cade of fighting in Chechnya.
The failures in Ukraine have
started to create fissures within
Russian leadership, according to
Andrei Soldatov, an author and
expert on Russia’s military and
security services. The top Rus-
sian intelligence official in charge
of overseeing the recruitment of
spies and diversionary opera-
tions in Ukraine has been put un-
der house arrest along with his
deputy, Soldatov said. Even Rus-
sia’s defense minister, Sergei
Shoigu, who vacations with Pu-
tin and has been spoken of as a
potential presidential successor,
has suffered a loss of standing,
according to Soldatov’s sources.
“It looks like everybody is on
edge,” Soldatov said.
Soldatov’s claims could not
be independently verified, and
some independent experts have
challenged them. But Shoigu has
not been shown meeting with
Putin in person since Feb. 27.
“The war has shown that the
army fights poorly,” Luzin, the
Russian military analyst, said.
“The defense minister is respon-
sible for this.”

Despite
the odds,
pilots
fight back
An outgunned
air force persists
By Maria Varenikova
and Andrew E. Kramer
NEW YORK TIMES
LVIV, Ukraine — Each night,
Ukrainian pilots such as Andriy
loiter in an undisclosed aircraft
hangar, waiting, waiting, until
the tension is broken with a
shouted, one-word command:
“Air!”
Andriy hustles into his Su-27
supersonic jet and hastily taxis
toward the runway, getting air-
borne as quickly as possible. He
takes off so fast that he doesn’t
yet know his mission for the
night, although the big picture is
always the same — to bring the
fight to a Russian Air Force that
is vastly superior in numbers but
has failed to win control of the
skies above Ukraine.
“I don’t do any checks,” said
Andriy, a Ukrainian Air Force pi-
lot who as a condition of grant-
ing an interview was not permit-
ted to give his surname or rank.
“I just take off.”
Ne a r l y a m o n t h i n t o t h e
fighting, one of the biggest sur-
prises of the war in Ukraine is
Russia’s failure to defeat the
Ukrainian Air Force. Military
analysts had expected Russian
forces to quickly destroy or para-
lyze Ukraine’s air defenses and
military aircraft, yet neither has
h a p p e n e d . I n s t e a d , “ To p
Gun”-style aerial dogfights, rare
in modern warfare, are now rag-
ing above the country.
“Every time when I fly, it’s for
a real fight,” said Andriy, who is
25 and has flown 10 missions in
the war. “In every fight with Rus-
sian jets, there is no equality.
They always have five times
more” planes in the air.
The success of Ukrainian pi-
lots has helped protect Ukraini-
an soldiers on the ground and
prevented wider bombing in cit-
ies since pilots have intercepted
some Russian cruise missiles.
Ukrainian officials also say the
country’s military has shot down
97 fixed-wing Russian aircraft.
That number could not be veri-
fied, but remnants of Russian
fighter jets have crashed into riv-
ers, fields, and houses.
The Ukrainian Air Force is op-
erating in near-total secrecy. Its
fighter jets can fly from airstrips
in western Ukraine, airports that
have been bombed yet retain
enough runway for takeoffs or
landings — or even from high-
ways, analysts say. They are vast-
ly outnumbered: Russia is be-
lieved to fly about 200 sorties per
day while Ukraine flies five to 10.
Ukrainian pilots do have one
advantage. In most of the coun-
try, Russian planes fly over terri-
tory controlled by the Ukrainian
military, which can move anti-
aircraft missiles to harass — and
shoot down — planes.
“Ukraine has been effective
in the sky because we operate on
our own land,” said Yuriy Ihnat,
a spokesperson for the Ukraini-
an Air Force. “The enemy flying
into our airspace is flying into
the zone of our air defense sys-
tems.” He described the strategy

could fly with minimal addition-
al training, but as yet no trans-
fers have been made.

other before deciding that he
wanted to become a medical
doctor.
“I never really got along with
people who had regular dreams
and aspirations,” Tatum said.
“I’m very surprised at how life
turned out.”
Tatum has been shot at, beat-
en, and had his car repeatedly
vandalized during a chaotic peri-
od two decades ago that left him
careering from confrontation to
confrontation in northern New
Jersey. Although he showed an
aptitude for art, was a promising
basketball player, and had re-
leased a couple of hip-hop al-
bums, he also had a succession
of menial jobs, including at Mc-
Donald’s. And none seemed to
presage a career in medicine.
Now, Tatum wears a white
lab coat as he makes the rounds
at Tufts, visiting patients with
mentors who don’t seem fazed in
the least at roaming the halls
with a doctor sporting a Mo-
hawk and loose-fitting black
pants.
“Usually when I walk around,
I look like I’m delivering food,”
Tatum said with a grin.
On a recent round, he was ac-
companied by Dr. David Thaler,
Tufts’ chief of neurology, as they
visited a 37-year-old woman
who had complained of vertigo
the previous evening, couldn’t
walk, and had vomited through
the night.
“How are you feeling? Are
you still feeling dizzy?” Tatum
asked the patient, Loyda Ortiz of
Revere, his voice a blend of con-
geniality and concern.
He gently instructed Ortiz to
follow his finger from his fore-
head toward her eyes, tested her
reflexes, and asked if she could
feel his touch.
“The vessels look good,” Tat-
um told Thaler after checking
her eyes.
Later, Tatum flashed a big
smile as he met with Bobby Piz-
zarelli, a 32-year-old epilepsy pa-
tient from Portland, Maine.
Pizzarelli has had a device im-
planted in his head that monitors
brain activity and delivers coun-
tershocks when he has seizures.
While Dr. Joel Oster checked
with Pizzarelli about his condi-
tion, Tatum intently observed the
interaction. Pizzarelli’s seizure
dog, Zola, waited near his feet.
“Our fingers are crossed,” Os-
ter told Pizzarelli.
Tatum’s long road to Tufts be-
gan in 2010 with the birth of his
first of four children, a life-
changing event that prompted
him to pursue a medical career.
But his undergraduate studies
were almost exclusively in art

lege and Montclair State Univer-
sity. So, to give himself a chance

products popular with young
people.
Now the industry and health
advocates are anxiously waiting
to see how the FDA will inter-
pret and enforce its new authori-
ty.
Each year, researchers at the
University of Michigan survey
thousands of eighth-, 10th-, and
12th-grade students nationally
about smoking and other sub-
stance use habits. The latest sur-
ve y was conduc ted in early
2020, in the months before
schools closed because of the
COVID-19 pandemic.
The survey noted that since
1997, the prevalence of students
reporting smoking traditional
cigarettes, known as combusti-
ble cigarettes, had declined, as
had the percentage of those re-
porting failed attempts at quit-
ting. But in 2020, the research-
ers added a new question: “Have
you ever tried to stop vaping nic-
otine and found that you could
not?”
Their findings are worri-
some, health advocates say. The
percentage of students who re-
ported unsuccessfully trying to
quit either e-cigarettes or tradi-
tional cigarettes, roughly 6 per-
cent, was considerably higher
than the prevalence of unsuc-
cessful attempts to quit ciga-
rettes alone in each of the previ-
ous 13 years. (Some teens re-

products and tr ying to quit
both.) Much of the increase was
at medical school, Tatum en-
rolled in a post-bachelor’s pre-
medicine program at Rutgers
University-Newark.
“On the first day of the pro-
gram, I said, ‘Hello, I am here for
the post-bachelorette program,’ ”
Tatum recalled. “Everyone in a
room full of educators and pro-
spective doctors laughed at what
I said. I didn’t know why, and I
almost left that day.”
But he persevered, mastering
subjects that were “extra diffi-
cult because I literally never took
any math or physics or chemis-
try or biology or anything. But I
from those struggling with e-cig-
arettes.
“There has been all this prog-
ress in reducing failed quit at-
tempts with cigarettes, but once
you include e-cigarette failed at-
tempts, you see we have gone
backwards,” said Richard Miech,
a professor at the Institute for
Social Research at the University
of Michigan and principal inves-
tigator of the new research.
Shortly before the pandemic,
the National Youth Tobacco Sur-
vey, through the FDA and Cen-
ters for Disease Control and Pre-
vention, showed a steep rise in
youth e-cigarette use, from more
than 3.6 million reported users
in 2018 to over 5 million in
2019.
The survey’s recent findings
for 2021 found a decline, for a
total of over 2 million e-cigarette
users, but comes with a big cave-
at: the authors said the data
can’t be compared to previous
years because the surveyors
made significant changes to
their format. They collected data
online because so many children
were not at school. Prior to
2021, the survey was conducted
in person, inside classrooms.
With kids back in school, and
more opportunities to snag vap-
ing devices shared or sold by
friends, some administrators say
they are seeing vaping climbing
again.
“Now that we are back full
time, it’s a consistent discussion
with superintendents and prin-
cipal groups across the state,”

which had long been a sanctuary

While at Rutgers-Newark, he
was fired from a job yet again,
this time as a direct-care em-
ployee at an orphanage.
Afterward, “I realized I had
two years of unemployment,
maximum,” to somehow get into
medical school and find a way to
pay the tuition and other bills,
Tatum said.

dent of Norton Public Schools.
Baeta sent an e-mail to fami-
lies last week announcing
stepped-up penalties, but also
counseling, for any students
caught vaping.
“Kids have this feeling that
it’s not as addictive, that it’s bet-
ter than smoking [traditional
cigarettes],” Baeta said. “We all
know that’s not true.”
Kim Estes, a parent in Ox-
ford, Conn., can attest to e-ciga-
rettes’ powerful hold. She dis-
covered her son was vaping
when he was 12. Four years lat-
er, despite years of failed at-
tempts to quit, he is still vaping
nicotine, she said.

program in the Air Force, which
would pay his tuition at the
Rowan University School of Os-
teopathic Medicine in Stratford,

He graduated in May 2018,
but more obstacles arose.
A month later, after finishing
his first week of an internship,
Tatum suffered a saddle pulmo-
nary embolism, a life-threaten-
ing blood clot in the lungs.
“I just laid down on the
ground and couldn’t breathe,”
Tatum recalled. “I thought to my-
self, ‘This is it,’ and tried to stay
calm and conserve my energy.”

him, you name it, we have done
it.”
She said her son gets head-
aches and nausea when he
weans off nicotine vapes and
then is surrounded by tempta-
tion with so many friends vaping
at school and starts again. He
has asthma, and the vaping has
impaired the function of his
lungs, but still, he cannot stop,
she said.
“If you are addicted to alco-
hol, and you go to work every
day in a bar, it’s hard to quit,” Es-
tes said. “That’s how I feel it is
for kids and school and friends.”
In June 2020, a sweeping
Massachusetts law went into ef-
fect restricting the sale of nico-
tine vaping and flavored vaping
and tobacco products. Health
Dr. Peter Tatum was
joined by his children
Romeo, 3, Valentina, 5,
and Xander, 11, while
painting at Graffiti Alley.
Tatum has an unusual
look when he’s making
his rounds.
As a result, Tatum received
an honorable medical discharge
from the Air Force with the rank
of captain. The discharge also
meant that a radiology residency
scheduled for 2019 at the Ports-
mouth Naval Medical Center in
Virginia was rescinded.
“I was a military doctor in a
military residency in a military
hospital,” Tatum explained. “The
only doctors that can continue in
that residency are active duty.”
The discharge left him scram-
bling for new options, and he be-
gan calling hospitals on his own.
Tufts took an interest in Tatum’s
striking background, inter-
viewed him in the New York ar-
ea, and accepted him.
“We’re lucky to have him,”
said Oster, the Tufts neurologist.
“Peter is an amazing person.”
Despite all the setbacks, Tat-
um said he has “always believed
I could do whatever I could. My
goals are usually the ones that al-
low me to go the distance.”
Tatum said he is fascinated by
neurology, by the creativity he
finds among neurologists, and by
the unknowns and innovation
possible in its practice. At heart,
Tatum said, he considers himself
an artist first and foremost. Neu-
advocates say that helped reduce
teen vaping, but the products
are still widely available in near-
by states and seep into Massa-
chusetts.
“I do treat a lot of kids who
are using e-cigarettes, and I am
only successful in helping about
half of them,” said Dr. Jonathan
Winickoff, director of pediatric
research at Massachusetts Gen-
eral Hospital’s Tobacco Research
and Treatment Center.
“They leave my practice un-
able to quit nicotine products,”
he said.
Nicotine can increase chil-
dren’s levels of anxiety, stress,
and depression, as well as aggra-
vate asthma and other respirato-
ry illnesses, Winickoff said.
But vaping manufacturers
and other advocates say the re-
cently approved federal legisla-
tion, which will likely prohibit
many vaping products when en-
acted later this year, is misguid-
ed. They say it deprives millions
of adults from a product that
can help them quit traditional
combustible cigarettes, which
expose users to dozens of carci-
nogenic chemicals.
“I think they are throwing
out the baby with the bathwa-
ter,” said Dr. Michael Siegel, pro-
fessor of public health and com-
munity medicine at Tufts Uni-
versity School of Medicine.
Siegel, who said he receives
no financial backing from vap-
ing manufacturers or advocacy
organizations, said an estimated
3.5 million adults have quit
smoking traditional cigarettes
The World A7
rology holds a parallel appeal.
“I thought the brain was cool.
I like areas that aren’t known
100 percent,” he said.
Tatum’s artistry extends to
music. At age 17, he recorded his
first original song. Two years lat-
er, he was signed to a record la-
bel and was the lead vocalist in a
10-piece funk band. He also per-
formed beatbox — a form of vo-
cal percussion — at Madison
Square Garden and other large
venues, Tatum said.
“It was music, 24/7, for like
nine years, traveling all over the
place, recording all kinds of
stuff, sleeping on couches,” he
said.
Painting also is a longtime
refuge. Tatum won a high school
art competition with the first
piece of art he ever created, an
acrylic painting that he began on
Sept. 11, 2001, and which com-
memorates the attacks.
“ This is like going to the
beach for me,” Tatum said of the
peace he finds in art. He’s even
painted the once-drab cinder
blocks that line the small room
where neurology residents gath-
er at Tufts Medical Center.
“ Im a g i n e w h a t t h e w a l l
looked like before he did that,”
said Thaler, the neurology chief,
tilting his head toward a bright
mural, dominated by blue and
white paint and the word
“Tufts.”
“If you told me I could, I’d
paint every wall in the whole
hospital,” Tatum said.
Sometimes, Tatum will travel
to Graffiti Alley from his Water-
town home between hospital
shifts, creating art there be-
tween 10 p.m. and 3 a.m. to take
advantage of the quiet and soli-
tude.
One recent night, he painted
a portrait of Ukraine President
Volodymyr Zelensky.
“If I can’t sleep, I’ll just get
up, come paint, and then go to
work at 7” in the morning at the
hospital, Tatum said. “If I’m ex-
cited about something, I don’t
need to sleep.”
Tatum will finish his residen-
cy at Tufts in June. After that, he
plans to pursue a fellowship at
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical
Center in clinical neurophysiolo-
gy.
His goal in medicine is to be-
come an innovator in brain-re-
lated technology.
In the meantime, about that
Mohawk?
“It’s bug repellent,” Tatum
said. If someone doesn’t ap-
prove, he added with a smile,
“they’ ll look right over me. I
don’t even have to think about
having someone like that in my
circle.”

since e-cigarettes hit the US
market over a decade ago.
“If those ex-smokers go back
to smoking, that’s a disaster,” he
said.
Even before the latest con-
gressional action to increase the
FDA’s authority over e-ciga-
rettes, the agency has moved to
tighten some sales of flavored
nicotine products, which critics
say is a main culprit for hooking
kids.
But Siegel said 90 percent of
adult users prefer the flavored
vapes to escape the nicotine
taste, while still getting the nico-
tine kick. He suggests federal
regulators limit the high levels
of nicotine in vapes, which
health advocates say is also re-
sponsible for addicting kids so
quickly.
“It’s like a tightrope,” Siegel
said. “You have to balance the
need for adults to have access to
these products, while still trying
to keep them out of the hands of
youth.”
Estes, the Connecticut moth-
er who has become an advocate
for making vaping products less
attractive to kids, said banning
flavored nicotine e-cigarettes is
the way to go.
“If it tastes and smells like
Lucky Charms, who are you tar-
geting? You are not targeting a
30-year-old. You are targeting a
child,” she said. “I want to stop
more kids from even starting.”

SCOT LEHIGH
The midterms
are underway.
Do you know what
your party wants
to do if it wins?
I
t’s an odd story of a midterm election year with
dueling non-agendas.
The Democrats’ Build Back Better plan has
sunk, gradually but deeply, into the quicksand
of the Senate. Even the name has become prob-
lematic, so much so that Democrats are looking for
pithier slogans.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi favors “Democrats de-
liver,” according to The New York Times. One can see
why; the House, after all, has. Problem: Not so the Sen-
ate, where Build Back Better is hopelessly mired. There,
“Democrats dither” would be more apt. But accuracy
has the same effect in sloganeering as in portraiture. It
is, as a wag once observed, usually least appreciated
when most achieved.
And on the Republican side? To reveal or not reveal,
that is the question. Senator Rick Scott of Florida, who
as chairman of the National Republican Senatorial
Accuracy has the same effect in
sloganeering as in portraiture.
It is, as a wag once observed,
usually least appreciated when
most achieved.
Committee is leading the party’s effort to win the Sen-
ate, has a refreshingly democratic idea: Why not tell
voters what policies the GOP would pursue if trusted
with a Senate majority? Thus he released an 11-page
manifesto, with this admonition: “This plan is not for
the faint of heart.”
A sampling: Scott proposes limiting not only federal
officeholders but also “government bureaucrats” to 12
years at their jobs. He would eliminate all federal pro-
grams that could be done locally; sell off all nonessen-
tial government assets, buildings, and lands; quit pay-
ing dues to the United Nations; treat socialism as “an
enemy combatant” (off to Gitmo with the Jacobin mag-
azine!); sunset all federal programs every five years;
prohibit any increase in the debt-ceiling unless war has
been declared; and require every American to pay some
income tax.
Enter the faint of heart, in the person of Senate Re-
publican leader Mitch McConnell.
“We will not have as part of our agenda a bill that
raises taxes on half the American people and sunsets
Social Security and Medicare within five years,” McCon-
nell declared.
McConnell’s strategy for electoral success isn’t to
put forth an agenda but rather to block most every-
thing noteworthy that Democrats try to do, in the
hopes of reaping the benefit of ricocheting anger
should casual voters stay home out of exasperation over
inaction.
Thus McConnell has stressed that he, and not Scott,
will decide the GOP agenda — and that he will keep his
legislative plans under wraps until after the election.
Because, after all, it’s best for the GOP, if not the citizen-
ry, that voters go to the polls having no idea what one of
the country’s two major parties would do if it prevails.
Now for some good news/bad news: On the positive
side, House minority leader Kevin McCarthy has actu-
ally set up committees that may develop an agenda that
might be released at some pre-election point. The bad
news: McCarthy has tapped as an informal adviser to
that effort former speaker Newt Gingrich, whose prin-
cipal, um, contribution to American politics has been to
debase and coarsen the dialogue.
Against that backdrop, it would be nice to report
that, some six months after their own domestic pack-
age ran aground on the jagged reef that marks that en-
trance to the Straits of Manchin, Democrats have re-
grouped around a more realistic agenda.
But no. Not yet, anyway. Instead, they have largely
moved on to other things. The president, of course, is
consumed with Russia’s brutal war in Ukraine, while
congressional Democrats are trying to pass the Ameri-
ca COMPETES Act to strengthen our research infra-
structure, energy grid, and chip-making ability.
A distracted White House seems only to have re-
ceived half the message about Build Back Better. In his
State of the Union speech, Biden refrained from using
the phrase itself, but called again for lawmakers to pass
most major parts of that agenda.
He did so even though, with centrist Senators Joe
Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizo-
na dug in against big parts of the plan, it isn’t any closer
to having even a slender pass-through-the-reconcilia-
tion-process majority than it was last summer. Less so,
in fact, with supposedly temporary inflation lingering
like a toothache.
Indeed, one thing has become abundantly clear:
Manchin is more adamant in opposition than Senate
majority leader Charles Schumer is persuasive as a
herder of cats. Which means if Democrats are ever to
reach a deal, at some point in the next few months
someone else will have to step in and whittle down the
party’s domestic agenda to something that Manchin
and Sinema will support.
The most logical person for that task is, of course,
the president himself.
“He does have that senatorial proclivity — I think he
actually likes that stuff,” House Ways and Means chair-
man Richard Neal said in an interview.
So how important is it that Biden lead the effort?
“I think it is critical,” said Neal. “No doubt about it.”

Officer Joe Abasciano ( center, with beard and olive-green hat) protested with opponents of the city
of Boston’s vaccine mandate in front of the State House on Beacon Street on Jan. 5, 2022.
BPD foot-dragging on Jan. 6
probe hits new lengths
J
oe Abasciano doesn’t seem to think the usu-
al rules apply to him.
If he were just any civilian, that might
not matter. But he happens to be a Boston
police officer and, in a department that’s
been beset by rule-breakers lately, one more embar-
rassment isn’t what it needs.
Abasciano has been under investigation by the de-
partment for more than a year in connection with his
involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill insurrection
and a Twitter rant against Vice President Mike Pence.
Despite the fact that he has been out on paid med-
ical leave since 20 days after that insurrection, he has
been well enough to attend an anti-vaccination rally
at the State House this January and go knocking on
the locked door of his own police union with other
protesters, again demonstrating against COVID-19
At what point does someone — the acting police commissioner, Mayor
Michelle Wu, her Office of Police Accountability and Transparency —
demand an explanation of how and why an investigation goes on
forever and medical leave becomes the gift that keeps on giving?
vaccine mandates for city employees.
And while the taxpayers continue to foot the bill
for his salary and benefits (his base pay in 2020 was
$96,890), Abasciano has moved to a horse farm in
Milton, N.H., about a hundred miles from the city he
is alleged to be serving.
At what point does someone — the acting police
commissioner, Mayor Michelle Wu, her Office of Po-
lice Accountability and Transparency — demand an
explanation of how and why an investigation goes on
forever and medical leave becomes the gift that keeps
on giving?
The department opened an investigation into
Abasciano, a 14-year veteran of the Boston Police De-
partment, back in January 2021, after he was identi-
fied as Twitter user @mailboxjoe — an account since
closed. It was there that he posted photos of the Jan.
6 crowds and called it a “day for choosing.” He ac-
cused Pence of treason for certifying the election of
Joe Biden, tweeting, “I hope you never sleep well
again.
“[Y]our treasonous Act lead [sic] to the murder of
an innocent girl [presumably Ashli Babbitt, who was
shot and killed by Capitol Police] and the death of
America.”
Before the month was over, Abasciano was out on
medical leave.
Boston Police spokesman Sergeant Detective John
Boyle told the Globe editorial board that privacy rules
prevented him from disclosing the nature of Abascia-
no’s medical condition, adding, “But I can tell you he
is going to doctors. . . . The way this works is, you pe-
riodically come in for doctors’ appointments with the
department doctor and also see your own physician.”
Either could clear Abasciano for a return to, say,
desk duty. But that has not happened either. Boyle
did not know when Abasciano’s last department

check-in occurred.
The original Boston Police Patrolmen’s Association
contract also gives the commissioner the authority to
demand a physician’s certificate for any extended ill-
ness.
It was in that same contract that the BPPA won
the right for its members to be exempt from the city’s
residency rules after 10 years of service. Boyle said
that 2013 legislative changes to the civil service laws
removed a cap on the distance public safety person-
nel could live from the city, and the department has
since interpreted that collective bargaining agree-
ment to permit out-of-state residency once that 10-
year mark has been reached.
Of course, woe to those who haven’t yet cleared
the 10-year hurdle, like Officer Matthew P. Morrissey,
who was put under surveillance last October by the
department’s Bureau of Professional Standards,
which suspected he actually lived over the city line, in
Milton. Morrissey didn’t take kindly to the surveil-
lance and now faces criminal charges of intimidating
and harassing the superior officer assigned to investi-
gate him.
Clearly, Abasciano doesn’t have a problem with
the 100-mile commute to pursue his current political
cause of opposition to vaccine mandates.
Meanwhile, that internal affairs investigation
about Abasciano’s conduct on and around Jan. 6 re-
mains open, according to Boyle. Last May, Acting
Commissioner Gregory Long told a meeting of the
City Council he expected the probe to conclude “in
the next couple of weeks.”
Ten months later, there’s still no resolution in
sight. There’s still no determination if Abasciano was
simply exercising his First Amendment rights or en-
gaging in something more sinister. More than 725
people in 50 states have already been charged by fed-
eral authorities. That included some members of law
enforcement. Police departments in Seattle, Florida,
Houston, Virginia, and Pennsylvania conducted simi-
lar investigations of department members — now
long since concluded. Isn’t it time the BPD put this
mess in its rearview mirror?
And surely the city’s Office of Police Accountability
and Transparency should play a role. But its Internal
Affairs Oversight Panel apparently doesn’t get the
case until after the BPD’s Internal Affairs Division fin-
ishes up — making its watchdog role something of a
lapdog to the existing closed-door process. An agency
charged with police transparency should be about
more than data dashboards.
For a mayor who promised both a rebuilding of
the “culture and structure” at the BPD, the Abrascia-
no case looks a lot like the same old, same old.

6 in 10 appellate judges are former cor-
porate lawyers from large firms. Given
this profile, it is no surprise, then, that
the parties that appeared before the Su-
preme Court that were backed by the US
Chamber of Commerce won 83 percent
of the time in the most recent term.
Senators have also confirmed justices
who defended controversial views on so-
cial issues like affirmative action and
women’s reproductive rights (Justices
Clarence Thomas and Barrett, for exam-
ple). They even have confirmed justices
who defended themselves against allega-
tions of sexual harassment or worse
(Thomas and Kavanaugh).
But Republican criticism of the cur-
rent nominee, Judge Ketanji Brown
Jackson, makes clear that some senators
object to one type of legal defense: de-
fending the poor in criminal cases. Since
most people charged with crimes in this
country are too poor to hire a lawyer, this
comes down to an objection to serving as
a public defender.
It’s a remarkable objection, not only
because it demeans some of the most im-
portant work that lawyers do, but be-
cause it demeans the US Constitution
senators swear to uphold. The Sixth
Amendment assures the right to counsel
RENÉE GRAHAM
Court’s 1963 decision in Gideon v. Wain-
wright — nearly 60 years ago — that
amendment has applied to every poor
person charged with a felony. And for 50
years, with little controversy, it has ex-
tended to almost all misdemeanors.
Public defenders earn a fraction of
what many corporate lawyers make.
They cannot pick their clients: Lawyers

of last resort, they fulfill a constitutional
mandate with every case they take. The
liberty of real people always is at stake.
They lose often. Sometimes their clients
are human beings too damaged to ap-
preciate their work, or ungrateful.
But US senators? Surely they are not
too damaged or ungrateful to appreciate
what public defenders do. Every person
accused of a crime confronts the govern-
ment. Even rare wealthy defendants can
be overwhelmed and outspent by the
government they face. The public de-
fender standing up in court, for shabby
pay and against great odds, to speak for
a poor man, woman, or teenager facing
jail or prison should have the respect of
every senator. That public defender es-
pecially should have the respect of each
ernmental overreach, or individual
rights.
If confirmed, Jackson will become the
only person ever to sit on the US Su-
preme Court who worked as a public de-
fender. Surely in the long line of justices
who have served wealth, government,
and corporations — that is, most who
have sat on the Supreme Court — there is
room for one former public defender. If
the words inscribed on the Supreme
Court’s pediment — Equal Justice Under
Law — are more than a cynical deceit,
defending the poor cannot disqualify a
lawyer from becoming a justice.
As to public defense in a broader
sense, Jackson would not be the first de-
fender of poor people on the Supreme
Court. Thurgood Marshall, the first
Black justice, and an exceptional advo-
cate (including in the Supreme Court),
spent his early career defending, usually
for free, the desperately poor charged
with crimes. For the whole of the 20th
century and into this century, he is the
only justice on the Supreme Court who
ever directly defended a man on trial for
his life.
Marshall was confirmed in 1967, by a
vote of 69-11. Of Republican senators, 32
voted yes to confirm; only one voted no.
One measure of our progress as a na-
tion, on race and on equal justice gener-
ally, will be Jackson’s confirmation vote.
We will learn starkly whether, in 55 years
since Marshall’s confirmation, we have
gone backward rather than forward.

most people actually do. A poll conducted last month found
that of 91 percent of Massachusetts residents who ex-
pressed satisfaction with their health plan, 59 percent are
very or completely satisfied, and close to 3 out of 4 resi-
dents would recommend their plan to a friend or family
member.
Maybe it’s because Massachusetts is home to some of the
best plans in the nation. Or maybe it was the tremendous
support the health plans gave their members, providers,
and employers during the pandemic, including prompt ac-
cess to telehealth services and free testing and treatment.
This is not to say that Fayyad’s frustration with the
health system is unwarranted. A $1,000 bill for a 2-mile
ambulance ride is a real-life reflection of what our state’s
health care watchdogs have found repeatedly: It’s the prices
charged for health care services, not the utilization of those
services, that remain the most significant factor driving
health care costs.
If we really want to make health care more affordable,
we must address the underlying cost drivers, including
reining in prices charged by providers, putting a stop to
skyrocketing prescription drug costs, prohibiting provider
expansions or mergers that drive up costs without improv-
ing quality, and ending surprise billing and facility fees by
providers and ambulance companies.
Only then will we truly make health care more afford-
able for all.

Shed more light on single-payer push
in Massachusetts
Abdallah Fayyad’s op-ed “Does anyone actually like their
health care plan?” illustrates the health-threatening bur-
dens faced even by those with “good” insurance, and why
we need a universal health care, or single-payer, system
such as those in every other industrialized country. Our
patchwork of for-profit employment-linked insurance is de-
signed to minimize costs for insurance companies even if it
means raising costs for consumers, employers, and the gov-
ernment.
However, Fayyad fails to mention the current legislative
efforts to pass “Medicare for All” bills in Massachusetts. He
writes that a “major health care overhaul is not on the
Democrats’ agenda for now.” This may be true at the federal
level, but not in Massachusetts, where more than 40 per-
cent of legislators have cosponsored the Medicare for All

Graphic photos define the war in bills, and where the state party platform states that the
Democrats will fight for a single-payer program “because
health care is a human right.”

Ukraine; would similar images The Globe’s lack of coverage of these bills is disappoint-
ing and puzzling. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted
the urgent need for a universal public health system such as

reignite US gun reform efforts?

Medicare, and the Globe has covered the problems well.
Why not the solution that is being discussed right now in
the Massachusetts Legislature?

T
he young man is on his knees, his body crum-
pled into a fetal-like position. Blood-speckled
hands cover his face as he weeps over the body
of his mother, who was killed when a Russian
missile struck her apartment last week in Kyiv,
Ukraine’s capital. She is on the ground and covered by a
bloody white sheet and surrounded by pieces of her neigh-
borhood, now the detritus of an unprovoked war.
This ghastly moment is felt as much as seen. Watching it
almost seems an intrusion on both the dignity of the dead
and those who mourn them. But since Russian President
Vladimir Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine last
month, media have been inundated with the horrors of this
war — a father crying over the body of his teenage son in
Mariupol; a mother and her two children dead in the street,

missile hit her apartment building in Kyiv on March 17.
victims of a Russian mortar strike in Irpin; the bodies of
several people, including an American, shot to death in a
breadline in Chernihiv.
Disclaimers about graphic or disturbing content are
standard, but many Ukrainians have been adamant — they
do not want journalists to shield what Putin’s war is inflict-
ing on their sovereign nation and its residents.
“We know the enemy. In the end, the world must see and suffered, such as amputated limbs, a multitude of shrapnel
hear this,” a Ukrainian soldier told a CNN reporter after he
was injured when his barracks were struck by a Russian
missile. “I don’t know. How many deaths will it take for ev-
eryone to see?”
In his lament, I heard the echo of so many in this nation
tired of relentless gun violence and elected officials unwill-
ing to do anything about it. Would their collective hand fi-
nally be forced to action if the media were flooded with
graphic images of the toll of America’s addiction to guns?
Nationwide, there have been at least 107 mass shootings
so far in 2022, defined as an incident in which four or more
people are hit by gunfire. Last weekend, multiple people
were shot at an Arkansas car show, a Virginia restaurant, a
North Carolina hotel, and a Texas birthday party. In Miami
Beach, currently packed with college students on spring
break, two shootings that left five people injured compelled
Mayor Dan Gelber to declare a state of emergency in his
city.
“We can’t endure this anymore, we just simply can’t,”
Gelber said. But history has already proved that we will,
and so will legislators. When not a single significant act of
gun reform was passed after 20 children and six educators
were slaughtered at Sandy Hook Elementary School in
Newtown, Conn., in 2012, that revealed an irreparable
breach in this nation’s conscience. Somehow, Americans
had accepted that first-graders could be gunned down with
a weapon of war in their classroom.
Nearly 10 years later, little has changed. Now only the
shootings with the highest body counts garner attention.
Several people shot at a Milwaukee house party
is background noise, the kind of event that
rarely earns more than a brief mention outside
of the communities directly affected.
Perhaps what was needed after Sandy Hook
was graphic evidence of America’s murderous
firearms folly. Every lawmaker who literally
closed their office door to avoid meeting with
Sandy Hook parents in 2013 should have had to
view crime scene photos of those children, their
principal, and their teachers. That is what legis-
lators, with their useless supply of thoughts and
prayers, should have to witness before defend-
ing their decisions to do absolutely nothing.
Well, not nothing. Several states are current-
ly trying to pass laws that would allow citizens
to legally carry concealed guns in public with-
out a permit. Though the Supreme Court is cur-
rently discussing a concealed carry case
brought by the NRA and two individuals chal-
lenging a New York gun law, the state bills ar-
en’t receiving attention commensurate with
their frightening implications. And silence only
benefits perpetrators.
This is why Ukrainians insist that war reporters keep
their cameras trained on Putin’s carnage. They want the
world to see how they are now forced to live and die in their
country. On CNN, Tanya Kozyreva, a Ukrainian journalist,
told stories and shared photos of injured children she has
visited. Though their faces were blurred, what their bodies
wounds, and being hooked up to life-supporting machines,
was obvious.
This, too, is obvious — that Ukrainians will not sanitize
Putin’s atrocities. Every image of broken bodies or faces
smeared with blood and tears is an indictment of the Rus-
sian president’s barbarism. If Ukrainians must endure this,
then we can bear witness and push for action. We should do
as much for Americans being sacrificed daily to feed this na-
tion’s Second Amendment fix and say out loud what that
wounded Ukrainian solider asked of the world: “How many
deaths will it take for everyone to see?”

Cochair, Mass-Care: the Massachusetts Campaign

This letter was cosigned by six other people who are ac-

With proposed new mission statement,
UMass Boston gets real
Re “UMass Boston’s idea of a new mission statement is aston-
ishingly wrongheaded”: In response to the March 13 letter
from Arthur Gelb, former member of the Board of Regents of
Higher Education in Massachusetts, who dismisses the Uni-
versity of Massachusetts Boston’s new draft mission state-
ment as unworthy of inclusion for the “real world,” I have to
ask: What real world?
The very real world of poverty, hunger, homelessness, war,
greed, hate, violence, racism, misogyny, injustice, famine,
drought, inequality, prison, crime, lack of health care, and
overconsumption side by side with desperate need?
A world incapable of doing what everybody knows needs
to be done regarding global warming and clean air and wa-
ter?
A world where we watch species after species go extinct,
knowing full well we are capable of preventing this? Knowing
full well it is both our fault and our fate?
Perhaps the “real world” Gelb refers to is much more com-
fortable. But it is not the real world.
All institutions, especially those involved in education,
must urgently address this. Or we just fiddle our way through
the fire.

Hot market in NFL for QBs,
and still no Kaepernick
I was disappointed to see that nowhere in Christopher L.
Gasper’s March 13 Sports column, “A quarterback league like
never before,” was there any mention of Colin Kaepernick.
While the NFL continues to give jobs to others, including
some who have been accused of sexual misconduct, if not
outright assault, there appears to be no team willing to give
Kaepernick a shot, despite his past performance that is at
least as good as some of the current field of QBs.
This continued hypocrisy is a big part of why I no longer
watch football.

State needs
to step back
Does anyone trust the
state to fix the Boston
Public Schools?
That is a question
that needs to be asked
loudly, now that state
officials have institut-
ed a “review” of the
school system that
could be a step on the road to the state as-
suming control.
That explains why mayor Michelle Wu —
along with City Councilor Julia Mejia — took
the unusual step Tuesday of going to
Malden to urge the Board of Elementary
and Secondary Education to keep its hands
off.
“Receivership would be counterproduc-
tive in light of our ongoing transition and in
light of the progress we’re making in collab-
oration with the state,” Wu said to the
board. “No one is better equipped to acceler-
ate the progress Boston has made than our
Boston Public Schools communities and I’m
confident this review will suggest the same.”
This is certainly a perilous moment for
the city’s schools. For a host of reasons, dis-
satisfaction is high. Too many schools are
underperforming. The changes to exam
school admissions aren’t especially popular.
Superintendent Brenda Cassellius is depart-
ing, in what seems to be a reversal of Wu’s
campaign trail pledge to support continuity
in the system. A search for a new superin-
tendent is underway, with a goal of being
completed by June.
Meanwhile, the push for an elected
school committee, which Wu opposes,
shows no sign of losing steam.
Technically, the state’s review is a follow-
up to one two years ago that found, to no
one’s surprise, serious failings in many as-
pects of BPS. But it could also be a step to a
state takeover of the school system, giving
the state the right to appoint its leadership
and control its funding.
Which would be a complete, unmitigated
disaster — not least because it would give
control of the BPS to an unaccountable
group of state bureaucrats who may know
little, and care less, about the needs of Bos-
ton’s schoolchildren.
True to form, the state is playing coy
about its intentions. Officials have main-
tained that receivership is just one of several
options that could be on the table after the
review, along with more palatable ones like
providing the city with more resources.
But another wholesale change in leader-
ship and priorities is the last thing BPS
needs right now, at a time when everything
is already seemingly in flux.
What would actually help out belea-
guered schools?
The first order of business is getting the
choice of a new superintendent right.
That means finding a leader who can ef-
fectively manage (and cut) a bloated bureau-
cracy, communicate effectively with school
families and the broader community, and
straighten out the department’s terrible in-
ternal operations.
This is a department that cannot accu-
rately calculate the graduation rate of its
students, or file the paperwork for its athlet-
ic teams to participate in state tournaments,
or get all the students to the first day of
school on time.
So there’s some pretty basic work for the
new superintendent.
Wu insists that great leaders will be
clamoring to run the BPS, that this city
where public education was born is a land of
opportunity. To which I say: Maybe.
Why? Because this is also a city that has
chewed up and spit out a succession of su-
perintendents, where the politics are be-
yond daunting, and where it isn’t clear what
sort of school committee you’ll be working
for two years from now. All of which could
quite reasonably give applicants pause.
So I am very curious to see what the pool
of applicants really ends up looking like.
But what this school system needs right
now, besides a strong leader, is to set a
course and stick to it for a few years. The les-
son of the last decade of revolving-door
leadership is that constant resetting hasn’t
improved anything. And I can’t think of one
good reason why state control would work
any better. It doesn’t come with a magic
wand.
Receivership is a relic of a bygone era
when solons on Beacon Hill believed they
knew better than the rubes in the cities and
towns what broken agencies needed.
They didn’t, and still don’t.
Boston’s schools are Boston’s crisis. The
city, not the state, is the right place to look
for solutions.

Judge cites ‘difficult position’ in
dismissing suit against Baker
By Matt Stout
GLOBE STAFF
A federal judge this month dis-
missed a lawsuit the state’s former
chief advocate for the deaf filed
against Governor Charlie Baker, rul-
ing that Massachusetts law gave Bak-
er’s administration “broad discretion”
in terminating him after it investigat-
ed his ties to a fraternity where mem-
bers wore robes resembling Ku Klux
Klan garb.
But in throwing out Steven A. Flo-
rio’s lawsuit, US District Court Judge
Indira Talwani acknowledged the se-
ries of events had also left the former
head of the Commission for the Deaf
and Hard of Hearing in a “difficult po-
sition.” He was afforded no formal
hearing to clear his name even after
state officials cited other reasons for
firing him in October 2020, effectively

Boston’s current mayor, her prede-

the benefits of fare-free service on
three MBTA buses launched by the

Mayor Michelle Wu, former acting

Officials decry
those wearing
neo-Nazi insignia
By Gal Tziperman Lotan
GLOBE STAFF
Elected officials and organizers
of South Boston’s St. Patrick’s Day
Parade are decrying the atten-
dance of roughly 20 people wear-
ing neo-Nazi insignia who lined up
along the route Sunday, unfurling
a banner that read, “Keep Boston
Irish.”
The South Boston Allied Veter-
ans Council, which organizes the
parade, said the group — whose
presence was noted by people on
social media during the event —
was “neither invited, nor wel-
come.”
“As a Jewish American, it hits
especially close to home for me,”
Dave Falvey, commander of the
council, said in an e-mail Monday.
“Unfortunately, we only have con-
trol over who can participate in
the parade and cannot control
who attends. Such groups will nev-
er be welcome in any capacity at
the South Boston St. Patrick’s Day
/ Evacuation Day Parade.”
The group were among the
spectators standing along West
Broadway Sunday, most with their
faces covered. They wore the logo
of the Nationalist Social Club, de-
scribed as a neo-Nazi group by
both the Counter Extremism Proj-
ect and the Anti-Defamation
League.
“We were aware that they were
present and we will conduct fol-
low-up investigations,” Boston po-
lice spokesman Sergeant Detective
John Boyle said Tuesday.
Reports of white supremacist
propaganda — racist, antisemitic,
and anti-LGBTQ messaging by
hate groups — have risen sharply
in the last five years, according to
the Anti-Defamation League,
which tracks such reports. The or-
ganization’s researcher found
4,851 reported cases in 2021,
down about 5 percent from 2020
but way up from 294 cases in
2017.

tech reform
By Samantha J. Gross
GLOBE STAFF
A state commission probing
the use of facial recognition tech-
nology released a 173-page report
Tuesday recommending that the
Massachusetts Legislature adopt
new reforms on the use of such
tools for surveillance. The goal,
the commission wrote, is to bal-
ance law enforcement’s use of the
technology to solve crimes with
civil liberty protections.
Some of the recommendations
from the commission include re-
quiring a warrant to use the tech-
nology, limiting facial recognition
searches to felony investigations,
centralizing the technology’s use
to a group within the Massachu-
setts State Police, and notifying
people who were identified using
it.
“This report gives us a solid
road map in the drive to clarify
the laws around this,” Representa-

the commission, told the Globe.

Twin brother recalls slain Marine vet
By John R. Ellement
GLOBE STAFF
By Matt Yan
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT
His twin brother, Daniel, is
dead, fatally stabbed outside a
downtown Boston bar. So Mat-
thew Martinez is focused on the
future they had planned to build
together in the Chicago area
where they were raised.
“For me, it’s like I don’t feel
angr y. I just feel like I have
things to do,’’ Matthew Martinez
said in a telephone interview
Tuesday. “Now, I’ve got to figure
out the things that he started,
and I feel his presence. We can
cry, but after that’s done, we’ve
got things to do. It’s my way of
honoring him.”
Daniel Martinez, 23, who fin-
ished a four-year enlistment in
the Marines last summer, was
killed Saturday, authorities say,
by Alvaro O. Larrama, a bouncer
at Sons of Boston, a bar near Fa-
neuil Hall.
Larrama, 38, pleaded not
guilty on Monday in Boston Mu-
nicipal Court, where he was or-
dered held without bail.
“I don’t feel angry,’' Matthew
Martinez said. “I just think
about it from a logical stand-
point — how do you think you
could get away with it? There’s
cameras everywhere ... that’s
what keeps us all from being ani-
mals, being logical. How do you
think you could just do that?”
Surveillance video shows the
stabbing on Union Street, a
street lined with bars that runs
parallel to the New England Ho-
locaust Memorial, officials said.
At Larrama’s arraignment,
which Martinez’s father, Manu-
el, and other relatives attended,
prosecutors said footage showed
Martinez and a friend as they
walked away from the bar after
being refused entry while Larra-
ma was working security at the
door.
The cameras also recorded
Larrama as he followed Marti-
nez and his friends down the
street, where Martinez raised his
arm in a defensive move and
threw an aluminum beer can at
the bouncer. L arrama then
stabbed him in the chest, au-
thorities said.

Omicron subvariant accounts for most cases
By Martin Finucane,

GLOBE STAFF
A new Omicron subvariant,
which is believed to be one of the
drivers of a COVID-19 resur-
gence in Europe, now accounts
for more than half the new cases
in New England, according to es-
timates from the CDC.
The subvariant, known as
BA.2, accounted for 55.4 percent
of cases in New England as of
Saturday, continuing to elbow
out other varieties of Omicron.
Nationally, BA.2 has grown to
account for 34.9 percent of cas-
es, up from 1 percent as recently
as early February, according to
the CDC estimates.
The increases come as the re-
gion — and the nation — have
seen steep declines from the
Omicron surge early this year to
much lower cases, hospitaliza-
tions, and deaths.
But is this the calm before the
storm? Experts and officials are
eyeing increases in cases and
hospitalizations in Europe wari-
ly, wondering if what is happen-
ing in Europe could happen
here.
Today is Wednesday, March
23, the 82nd day of 2022. There
are 283 days left in the year.

Nearly three months after

mother, a 70-
year-old retired Boston Public
Schools teacher, he said on Twit-
ter.
“She told them it wasn’t my
home but they ignored her &
kept on for hours,” he wrote.
“City Hall is open and they can
protest there. It’s clear the goal
isn’t protest but targeted harass-
ment and its wrong.”
The councilor, who is run-
ning for Suffolk district attorney,
shared a photo on Twitter that
shows the group gathered on the
sidewalk at the end of his moth-
er’s driveway, some holding
signs and waving an American
flag. There appear to be two Bos-
ton police officers standing near-
by and a third speaking to the
group.
Boston police confirmed that
officers responded to a home in
Hyde Park at 7:58 a.m. for a re-
port of protesters gathering.
“Once the protesters conclud-
ed their affair, they departed
from the area,” the police report
said, according to Officer Ste-
phen McNulty, a Boston police
spokesman. The report did not
indicate what time the demon-
strators left.
Wu, who has been subjected
to early morning protests out-
side her home on a routine basis
since early January, retweeted
Arroyo’s post with her own mes-
sage.
“Cruel & disgusting. Leave
our moms, families & neighbors
out of it,” Wu wrote.
In recent weeks, the city has
rolled back some of its major
COVID-19 restrictions as cases
have dropped, including the
proof of vaccine mandate and the
indoor masking requirement.
The City Council is currently
weighing an ordinance proposed
by Wu that would ban protests
outside private residences be-
tween 9 p.m. and 9 a.m. City
councilors will discuss the de-
tails of the ordinance during a
working session Friday before
taking a vote on whether to
adopt the measure.
Some of Arroyo’s City Council
colleagues also expressed their
objections to the demonstration,
including Council President Ed
Flynn.
“Public protests at people’s
homes must have limits,” Flynn
wrote on Twitter. “These demon-
strations are hurting our neigh-
bors, seniors, persons with dis-
abilities, veterans and young
children. I agree with Councilor
@RicardoNArroyo. Today ’s
demonstration at the home of

ment!”
City Councilor Brian Worrell
also chimed in on Twitter: “Un-
believable and uncalled for! Ha-
rassment in any form is never
okay.”
At-large City Councilor Julia
Mejia called the protest “unac-
ceptable” in a tweet, while Coun-
cilor and State Senator Lydia Ed-
wards said it was “ridiculous and
disgusting.”
“His mother—Really? At this
point it’s an excuse to harass &
abuse,” Edwards wrote on Twit-

Local elected officials reacted
to the group’s appearance with
against that kind
harsh words.
“It was deeply disturbing to
see this display at a local celebra-
tion of culture and heritage, as
we work to heal and build com-
munity through our recovery,”
Mayor Michelle Wu of Boston,
who walked in the parade, said
in a statement. “With the grow-
ing intensity of white suprema-
cist groups nationally, we are
working closely with law en-
forcement at all levels — Boston
will not tolerate hate crimes, and
we will not be intimidated in our
work to build a city for every-
one.”
A delegation of elected offi-
cials from South Boston issued a
joint statement condemning the
group’s presence.
“We are disgusted by reports
of outside hate groups descend-
ing into Boston for the St. Pat-
rick’s Day Parade yesterday,” City
Council President Ed Flynn,
Councilor Michael Flaherty,
state Senator Nick Collins, state
Representative David Biele, US

in the Monday statement. “Their
ideology is repugnant and con-

according to his lawyers.

Baker administration officials vi-

Baker and state officials were
protected by qualified immunity
on some claims and that they
had wide discretion to fire him,
given his position was exempt
from state law requiring that of-

Talwani wrote that Florio al-
so failed to prove state officials
intentionally disseminated “false

connection with his termina-

But while Florio failed to
prove he was entitled to proce-

events nonetheless put Florio in
a tough spot, Talwani wrote.
“Defendants announced an
investigation into whether Flo-
rio was associated with alleged
racism and antisemitism. Fol-
lowing that investigation, Defen-

clearing his name,” she wrote.
“The explanation Florio was giv-

was unrelated to that investiga-

was pretextual and false — effec-
tively precludes him from de-
bunking any misconceptions
about his termination.”

the report helped balance that
interest. This report won’t go on
a shelf and gather dust.”
The state’s facial recognition
commission was formed as a re-
sult of a major police reform
law in 2020, which notably did
not include regulation of gov-
ernment use of the tool. The
provision to limit the technolo-
gy was vetoed out of the bill by
Governor Charlie Baker and the
Democrat-controlled Legisla-
ture did not override that deci-
sion. Attorney General Maura
Healey, who is running for gov-
ernor, was also resistant toward
it.
A spokesman for Baker
didn’t return a request for com-
ment. In a statement, Healey
said she is thankful for the com-
mission’s work.
The report was sent to com-
mission members March 14 and
publicly released Tuesday.
The 21-member commission
included representatives from
the American Civil Liberties
Union of Massachusetts and the
state police, as well as Healey’s
and Baker ’s offices. Fifteen
members voted in favor of the
report, four dissented, and two
did not vote, according to Day.
Civil liberties groups say
they support the recommenda-
tions to tighten regulation of
the facial surveillance technolo-
gy, citing the threats to privacy
and dangers to communities of
color.
“It is critical to get this bal-
ance right because face surveil-
lance technology poses pro-
found and unprecedented
threats to our privacy and other
basic freedoms,” Kade Crock-
ford, the ACLU’s Technology for
Liberty program director, wrote
in a statement.
In 2019 the ACLU of Massa-
chusetts conducted a test that
falsely matched 27 well-known
athletes from Boston sports
teams to a database of mug-
shots of real people who had
been arrested. Nearly one in six
athletes were falsely identified.
“[The technology] is particu-
larly dangerous for communi-
ties of color and other marginal-
ized groups,” wrote Crockford,
who served on the commission.
“These recommendations pro-
vide a balanced framework for
strong legislation.”
Legislation has already been
filed to put guardrails around
facial recognition technology,
though it’s unclear which cham-
ber will act on the recommen-
dations from the commission
first. Day said the report will
soon be disseminated to mem-
bers of the Legislature for their
review.
“I have been concerned for
some time on the issue of priva-
cy and balancing public safety
against one’s personal rights
and liberties,” said Senator Cyn-
thia Stone Creem, who first
filed legislation in 2019 and
then filed it again in 2021. “Un-
til we have better technology,
we have limitations on how we
should use it.”
Iván Espinoza-Madrigal, ex-
ecutive director of the Lawyers
for Civil Rights, said the report
is detailed and thorough and
that the Legislature “would be
well served by seriously consid-
ering the recommendations.”
“This is a middle-ground ap-
proach that could be sensible
and viable across different con-
stituencies,” he said in an inter-
view, noting that the recom-
mendations, however, are not
binding.
Cape and Islands District At-
torney Michael O’Keefe, a mem-
ber of the commission, penned
a dissent letter to Day and co-
chair Senator Jamie Eldridge.

agrees with “much of the re-
port,” he believes limiting the
use of the technology could in-
hibit police from doing their
jobs.
“The use of this technology,
like all new technology, should
be regulated and appropriate
guardrails established,” he
wrote, “but police must be al-
lowed to do their job.”

that is the ultimate goal
here,” Wu said.
The city of Boston is reim-
bursing the Massachusetts Bay
Transportation Authority for
fare revenue using $8 million in
federal COVID-19 relief funds
on its 23, 28, and 29 bus routes
for two years. The city previously
eliminated fares for riders on the
28 bus starting in August of last
year, also using federal funding.
Alberto Castro, a 36-year-old
father of two who is studying en-
gineering at Roxbury Communi-
ty College, had heard that more
bus routes may become free but
was still shocked when he
hopped on the 23 earlier this
month and didn’t have to cough
up a fare.
“It was a nice surprise,” he
said. “It translates into more
money in my pocket. It’s a little,
but it adds up.”
A recent city evaluation of
eliminating fares on the 28 bus
found that ridership increased
23 percent compared with other
bus lines; eight percent of those
surveyed said they would have
walked or biked if the bus were
not free and five percent said
they would have used a car.
Around one-third of riders
saved money, with around 23
percent saving $20 or more per
month, the evaluation found.
Two-thirds of riders did not save
any money, either because they
had already purchased a month-
ly pass or because they trans-
ferred to another bus or subway
that charged them a fare.
Eliminating fares on the 28
allowed riders to board through
all of the bus doors, speeding up
the boarding time per person by
20 percent, the city found. But
because so many more riders
boarded, service slowed. Aver-
age trip time increased from 37
minutes to 41 minutes.
Wu said that her bus ride on
the 23 bus on Tuesday around 11
a.m. was packed, showing there
is a high demand for bus service
once the cost barrier is removed.
To improve travel times, Wu said
more frequent bus service is
needed along with more dedicat-
ed bus lanes that enable buses to
bypass traffic.
Wu urges state to give city a chance with schools

Boston ranks in the bottom
10 percent of school districts
statewide, according to the
state’s accountability system,
with one-third of students at-
tending schools that are ranked
in the bottom 10 percent in Mas-
sachusetts. It has also been
plagued by shortcomings in its
services for students with dis-
abilities and English language
learners.
State education leaders said
Tuesday that the review is aimed
at assessing Boston schools’ cur-
rent operations, two years after
an initial audit found wide-
spread problems, and could re-
sult in responses that range from
increased state assistance to a
temporary takeover.
Concerns about the state at-
tempting to place BPS into re-
ceivership mounted last week,
after news broke that Massachu-
setts officials would conduct a
review of the district, the second
since March 2020. State law re-
quires such reviews within a
year of the state moving to take
control of a district.
On Tuesday, Education Com-
missioner Jeff Riley said the re-
view was necessary to accurately
update board members on con-
ditions inside Boston schools.
Riley did praise the city’s prog-
ress on boosting teacher diversi-
ty, raising academic standards,
and upgrading school bath-
rooms. But he also noted ongo-
ing concerns about special-edu-
cation and English language
learner services, as well as the
accuracy of BPS data on gradua-
tion rates and school bus arrival
performance.
The board did not hold a dis-
cussion on the topic, which was
not on its meeting agenda. But
following a parade of public
speakers decrying a possible
takeover of BPS, Education Sec-
retary James Peyser said the
state had a “constitutional obli-
gation” to take action in chroni-
cally underperforming districts
T h e B o s t o n
From left, Andrea Jonas, a Roxbury Community College student, Mayor Michelle Wu, and former acting mayor Kim Janey
arrived via a free ride on the 23 bus to the college on Tuesday.
The city chose the 23, 28, and
29 bus routes for the pilot be-
cause they either travel along the
new center-running bus lanes on
Columbus Avenue or along Blue
Hill Avenue, where the city plans
to install center-running bus
lanes, Wu said.
“We can make the roadway
changes to speed up service and
then continue to talk with the
MBTA about the need for in-
creased service on these routes
too,” she said.
Wu wants to see bus service
become free for riders city-wide,
and to do that she’ ll need the
help of the state and federal gov-
ernment.
Pressley said she is working
to pass a bill she introduced with
Senator Edward Markey that
would create a $5 billion com-
petitive grant program to offset
fare revenues for transit agen-
cies.

to ensure children have access to
a quality education. He said the
state could intervene through
teacher training, technical assis-
tance, grant funding, partner-
ship agreements, “and yes, some-
times through receiverships.”
Boston, however, is not con-
sidered chronically underper-
forming by the state; in 2019,
the most recent year the issued
accountability ratings, Boston
was not deemed to require state
intervention or assistance.
“I don’t know what the right
path forward for Boston should
be,” Peyser said. “But I’m abso-
lutely convinced the department
cannot simply sit on the side-
lines. This district review is not
only appropriate. It’s essential to
helping us and the city determine
what needs to be done to fulfill
our shared responsibility to the
children and families of Boston.”
Wu, citing her experience as a
mother of two young BPS stu-
dents, acknowledged that BPS
has many problems, but stressed
families and teachers know best
how to solve them.
“I’ve seen the places where
we fall short as a district, in a

In the State House, legisla-
tion that would require the MB-
TA and regional transit authori-
ties to create year-long fare-free
bus pilots, but wouldn’t provide
any funding for the pilots, is
pending in the transportation
committee.
Representative Christine Bar-
ber, a Somerville Democrat and
coauthor of the bill, said its pur-
pose is to study the benefits and
costs of fare-free bus service.
“We did not look at specific
funding mechanisms,” she said.
“The pilot program is the best
way to figure out what will work
best.”
But the cochair of the Legisla-
ture’s transportation committee,
Representative William Straus
of Mattapoisett, called fare-free
transit a “potential distraction”
from the “substantial financial
needs” of the MBTA.
“I’m not sold,” he said. “The

that’s frustrating for families, in
outdated facilities, and ongoing
disparities that close off our stu-
dents from opportunity,” Wu
said. “We must do better, partic-
ularly for our English learners,
students with disabilities, and
students living in poverty.”
The debate over a possible
takeover comes at a time of tran-
sition, as Wu and other city lead-
ers start new political terms, the
district searches for a new super-
intendent, the city takes steps to
move toward an elected School
Committee, and Governor Char-
lie Baker serves his final months
as governor.
The state’s March 2020 audit
of BPS, released right before the
COVID -19 pandemic forced
school closures, found a special
education department in “sys-
temic disarray,” inadequate ser-
vices for English language learn-
ers, practices that promoted seg-
regation, inequitable funding of
schools, crumbling buildings, and
other issues. Among them: one-
third of BPS students attend
schools ranked in the bottom 10
percent of the state. The pandem-

focus needs to be on how are we
going to have the best operating
system.”
Some regional transit author-
ities are forging ahead without
support from the state. The
Worcester RTA, Merrimack Val-
ley RTA, and Franklin RTA have
already eliminated fares on all of
their buses through pilot pro-
grams.
Wu said she hasn’t discussed
fare-free bus service with Demo-
cratic gubernatorial candidates
Sonia Chang-Díaz, a cosponsor
of Barber’s bill, or Maura Healey,
the state attorney general.
Other municipalities border-
ing Boston are looking at mak-
ing more MBTA bus routes fare-
free. Brookline is considering a
proposal to use $1.2 million of
its federal COVID-19 relief funds
to reimburse the MBTA for fares

bus in Brookline for two years.
ic has added to those challenges.
Under Massachusetts law, the
state can impose a receiver to
take control of a district that’s
found to be chronically underper-
forming on standardized tests.
Many education advocates in
Boston opposed to receivership
point to the fact that Boston out-
performs all three districts cur-
rently under state control: Holy-
oke, Southbridge, and Lawrence.
Receivership “is the wrong
move . . . not the least of which is

you want, but the instability cre-
ated through that process trick-
les down to the parents, stu-
dents, and teachers, and we’re
left exactly where we started, on-
ly less engaged and less hopeful.”

Teachers Union president Jessi-

which described negative effects

“Receivership cannot and

versation if your goal is truly to
support Boston Public Schools,”
Tang said.
Lawrence School Committee
member Jonathan Guzman tes-
tified that the state’s “takeover
dictatorship” in his city has
harmed students by forcing
teachers to focus on test prepa-
ration over meeting students’
educational needs. He called the
2010 law that enabled state re-
ceivership “racist legislation.”
“Why do you still believe that
takeovers are saving our educa-
tional system when you have
been in control of Lawrence
Public Schools for 10 years and
you have failed us?” Guzman
said. “If you as a body wish to be
anti-racist, you must first show
some respect for communities of
color and recognize that we un-
derstand the needs of our chil-
dren better than any outsiders.”
Not all Boston education ad-
vocates oppose the state’s recent
actions. Roxann Harvey, chair of
the Boston Special Education
Parent Advisory Council, said
last week that she was pleased
the state is conducting another
review, noting that BPS hasn’t
made significant changes in the
last two years.
“It is time to stop using
COVID as a reason for continu-
ing to fail our students since be-
fore the pandemic and to deal
with the racism in the district
that is impacting our students,”
she said.
The state board plans to dis-
cuss Boston’s status later this
spring, after the review con-
cludes.

Alnylam suit highlights value of vaccines
Biotech says ingredient in Moderna, Pfizer
COVID shots comes from its research
By Ryan Cross
GLOBE STAFF
Six years before the pandemic, fledg-
ling Cambridge biotech Moderna was
searching for a way to get its revolu-
tionary RNA technology to work in hu-
mans. One of the biggest problems was
figuring out how to wrap up the fragile
molecule in a protective package that
would deliver it to the right parts of the
body. Alnylam Pharmaceuticals had a
solution.
The Kendall Square neighbor to
Moderna had spent a decade develop-
ing a complex mixture of natural and
synthetic fat molecules that cling to
RNA like packing peanuts and protect
it during transit. Without this protec-
tive packaging, called a lipid nanoparti-
Business
cle, RNA falls apart before it can get in-

In April 2014, Moderna executives,
including the company’s current presi-
dent, Stephen Hoge, met with Alnylam
to learn about the firm’s lipid nanopar-
ticles. Discussions continued through
at least September, but Moderna ulti-
mately decided that it would develop its
own lipid nanoparticles without secur-
ing a license to Alnylam’s technology,
according to a recent court filing.
Last Thursday, Alnylam announced
it was suing Moderna and Pfizer for in-
fringing its lipid nanoparticle patents.
Both companies rely on lipid nanopar-
ticles to protect mRNA — the main in-
gredient of their COVID-19 vaccines —
and deliver it into the body. Moderna
and Pfizer expect to sell more than
$105 billion worth of those shots be-
tween 2021 and this year. Now Alnylam
wants a slice of the pie.
“Am I surprised? Not really,” said Ra-
ju Prasad, a biotechnology analyst at
the investment firm William Blair.
“There are billions of dollars being
made from these vaccines, so even a
small royalty would be meaningful.”
A 1 percent royalty, which experts
say is plausible if Alnylam wins, could
earn the company upwards of $1 bil-
lion, 50 percent more than the $662
million it made from sales of its own

Firm launches with $175m for cancer therapies
By Ryan Cross
GLOBE STAFF
Affini-T T herapeutics has
raised $175 million to develop
engineered T cell therapies for
tough-to-treat cancers. It’s one of
the largest launches for a biotech
startup so far this year.
The company, based in Boston
and Seattle, hopes that cell thera-
pies — which have so far only
been approved for treating blood
cancers — can help people with
tumors caused by the notorious
protein KRAS.
More than 30 percent of can-
cers have mutations in KRAS or
one of the protein’s close cousins,
according to the National Cancer
Institute. “It is what allows some

according to culinary director Le-
ah Dubois. That means the cafe
avoids meat alternatives like Be-
yond beef and Impossible burgers
in favor of seasonal vegetables,
like — in springtime — peas and
asparagus. (Timko dubbed the
practice “positive eating.”)
Dubois crafted the menu with
organic greens and grains, includ-
ing a “Forbidden Kale” salad and
“Rainbow Harvest” bowl with
flaxseed brown rice and whipped
sweet potato. There are also soups
— cashew cauliflower and chick-
pea miso, for example — dairy-
free coffees, and liquid alterna-
tives like spicy green cold-pressed
juice or wheatgrass shots.
The attached yoga studios —
one for 50 students, the other for
28 — host regular classes in a vari-
ety of techniques: hot yoga, restor-
ative movement, and Iyengar,
which focuses on physical align-
ment. Both rooms are stocked
with rope hooks for suspended ex-
ercises, weights, blocks, and blan-
kets, said Kate Heffernan, an in-
structor. Since the pandemic start-
ed, sessions operate both in-
person and virtually.
It’s all encompassed by a “com-

environment,” Timko said. The

brick walls around a collection of

By Brooks Barnes
NEW YORK TIMES
Several weeks ago, before The
Walt Disney Co. became entangled
in a battle over anti-LGBTQ legis-
lation in Florida — one that con-
tinued on Tuesday with walkouts
by Disney employees — longtime
theme park executives worried
there could be trouble ahead.
More than 150 companies had
signed a Human Rights Campaign
letter opposing the legislation,
which restricts classroom instruc-
tion on sexual orientation and
gender identity and has been la-
beled by opponents as the “Don’t
Say Gay” bill. Disney, with roughly
80,000 theme park workers in
Florida, was not among them.
Leaders at the Disney Parks, Expe-
riences and Products division
urged action: Disney ’s name
should be on the list.
They were rebuffed, according
to three people briefed on the mat-
ter. Disney’s corporate affairs
chief, Geoff Morrell, and Disney

guided by the general desire of
CEO Bob Chapek to avoid publicly
weighing in on state political bat-

Al Sandrock pushed to develop
treatments that made billions
for Biogen but was pushed out
over the Aduhelm controversy.
Former top
scientist at
Biogen named
Voyager’s CEO
By Adam Feuerstein
and Matthew Herper
STAT
Al Sandrock, the top scientist at
Biogen who exited last year in a dis-
pute over its controversial Alzheim-
er’s treatment, has landed a
STAT new job as the CEO of Voy-
ager Therapeutics, the com-
pany said Tuesday.
Voyager’s appointment of San-
drock as its new CEO is the latest in a
series of moves aimed at refocusing
the Cambridge company on a new
gene therapy delivery technology,
following setbacks with its earlier
pipeline.
For Sandrock, accepting the Voy-
ager CEO post is a reset following a
long and distinguished career at Bio-
gen that ended in crisis and his oust-
er. His departure from Biogen last
November was characterized by the
company as a retirement. But as
STAT previously reported, Biogen
CEO Michel Vounatsos forced San-
drock out, faulting him for the con-
troversial approval and disastrous
rollout of the Alzheimer ’s drug
Aduhelm.
“I am excited to welcome Al San-
drock as CEO. Al is a global thought
leader in neuroscience with an im-
pressive track record bringing trans-
formative new medicines to pa-
tients,” Voyager chairman Michael
Higgins said in a statement.
Sandrock had previously been ap-
pointed to Voyager’s board of direc-
tors in February, and he has experi-
ence developing gene therapies, albe-
it unsuccessfully, during his time at
Biogen. As the company’s new CEO,
Sandrock will be tasked with advanc-
ing a proprietary viral-delivery tech-
nology that promises to improve the
performance of genetic medicines
without the safety risks that have hin-
dered older technologies.
Voyager has gene therapy part-
nerships with Novartis and Pfizer. Its
own pipeline is still in the preclinical
stages, and is focused on neurologi-
cal and neuro-degenerative diseases
like Huntington’s, ALS, and spinal
muscular atrophy.
Shares of Voyager have more
than doubled to $8 since early
March when the partnership with
Novartis was announced. But the
company’s market value is still just
over $300 million and the stock
price is down more than 50 percent
over the last three years.
Glenn Pierce, Voyager’s chief sci-
entific officer and a member of the
company’s board, had known San-
drock at Biogen. He said that he and
the rest of Voyager’s team were inter-
e s t e d i n t u r n i n g t h e c o m p a ny
around because of the proprietary
technology the company has around
developing adeno-associated virus
viral vectors – a key technology in
gene therapy – that are more effec-
tive than those currently in use.
Sandrock joined Biogen, also
based in Cambridge, in 1998, and
put his fingerprints on research pro-
grams that became the company’s
top sellers. He championed the de-
velopment of two treatments for
multiple sclerosis, Tysabri and Tec-
fidera, that would become block-
bus ter medicines. In 2012, he
pushed for Biogen to in-license Spin-
raza, a treatment for spinal muscu-
lar atrophy that led to dramatic ben-
efits and has made Biogen billions.
Those three medicines, widely cred-
ited to Sandrock within Biogen, ac-
count for more than two-thirds of
the company’s revenue.
He also championed Aduhelm,
pushing the drug toward approval at
the Food and Drug Administration
even after its main trials were
stopped for futility. The agency gave
the drug a green light, but the ap-
proval resulted in widespread criti-
cism that the FDA had lowered its
normal standards. Medicare is con-
sidering paying for the medicine on-
ly in clinical trials, and sales have
been minimal.

nylam shot back that it has a “fi-
duciary duty to shareholders to
seek fair compensation for the
use of our technology.”
The lawsuit is the most high-
profile case yet in a dizzying web
of accusations over who de-
serves credit for or, more impor-
tant, who deserves to profit
from lipid nanoparticle technol-
ogy. Arbutus Therapeutics and
its affiliate Genevant are suing
Moderna for infringing one of
its patents for the technology.
And a small Canadian firm
called Acuitas Therapeutics,
which licensed its lipid nanopar-
ticle technology to Pfizer, recent-
ly sued Arbutus and Genevant.
The timing of these lawsuits
comes as the pandemic appears
to be receding in much of the
United States and there is no
longer a shortage of vaccines in
the country. None of the firms in
these lawsuits are asking Moder-
na and Pfizer to pull their shots
off the market.
“I think that is obviously a
smart move,” said Zachary Sil-
bersher, a partner at the intellec-
tual property-focused law firm
Kroub, Silbersher & Kolmykov.
If these firms tried to force Mod-
erna and Pfizer to stop selling
their vaccines, he added, “there
would be a huge PR backlash.”
Instead, Alnylam said it was
seeking “no less than a reason-
able royalty.” Exactly what con-
stitutes “reasonable” is up for
debate, but Silbersher said that
royalty sizes are usually deter-
mined based on how important
a patent is to a product. And
there is little doubt that lipid
nanoparticles are key to making
mRNA vaccines work.
“The lipid nanoparticles are
crucial,” said Mansoor Amiji, a
pharmaceutical scientist at
Northeastern University. In the
microscopic world of cells,
mRNA is a bulky molecule that
can’t get into cells on its own.
Enzymes patrolling the perime-
ters of cells can also chew up
stray mRNA, which often indi-

cates a viral infection.
Lipid nanoparticles solve
both problems. They effortlessly
help sneak mRNA into cells and
shield the delicate molecule
from destructive enzymes. “It is
because we have these lipid
nanoparticles that mRNA vac-
cines became a reality,” Amiji
said.
None of the companies in-
volved in the lawsuits claim to
have invented lipid nanoparti-
cles. The origins of the technolo-
gy stretch back decades. The
lawsuits instead center on par-
ticular ingredients or recipes
used in the COVID shots.
Lipid nanoparticles are made
from specific ratios of four kinds
of fat molecules, called lipids,
that encapsulate RNA. Arbutus
has a patent for the recipe,
which specifies how much the
ratios of those four ingredients
can be tweaked and still allow
the nanoparticle to form, much
like different recipes for choco-
late chip cookies call for varying
amounts of flour, sugar, and but-
ter.
Alnylam has a patent for one
of those four fat molecules,
which scientists call a cationic
or ionizable lipid. These mole-
cules are positively charged and
are attracted to the negatively
charged RNA. It is the key ingre-
dient that helps the nanoparti-
cle stick together. “Without this
ionizable lipid, the mRNA lipid
nanoparticle will not form,”
Amiji said.

Early iterations of nanoparti-

against Moderna and Pfizer is
based on a patent for lipids
granted in February 2022.
Alnylam uses one of the lip-
ids in its commercial therapy
Onpattro. In an e-mail, Kathryn
Whitehead, a nanoparticle sci-
entist at Carnegie Mellon Uni-
versity, said that the lipid nano-
particle formulation in mRNA
vaccines is “essentially identi-
cal” to Onpattro, except for the
ionizable lipid.
Moderna uses its own ioniz-
able lipid and Pfizer uses one
that it licensed from Acuitas.
Curiously, the Moderna and
Acuitas lipids are more chemi-
cally similar to each other than
either of them is to the Alnylam
lipid. But people following the
nanoparticle field closely cau-
tion that it’s too soon to know
how the lawsuit will play out in
court.
“It is really tough from where
we sit to say who came up with
it first,” Prasad said.
Moderna said that its lipid
nanoparticles “do not resemble
Alnylam’s work, and any asser-
tion that the Alnylam patent
covers Moderna’s COVID-19
vaccine is specious.”
The firm also emphasized
LEGAL NOTICES LEGAL NOTICES
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS
LAND COURT
Globe 25 index
that Alnylam’s nanoparticles
were designed for infusion in
the blood and delivery to the liv-
er, whereas Moderna’s vaccines
needed nanoparticles that could
be injected into the arm.
Alnylam didn’t invent its
lipid nanoparticles to deliver
mRNA. Onpattro is based on a
different kind of technology
called RNA interference, which
uses short RNA molecules to
turn off disease-causing genes.
Early in the pandemic the com-
pany worked on an RNA inter-
ference therapy for COVID-19,
but the firm dropped the pro-
gram last year.
Amiji said that the lawsuit is
unlikely to affect distribution of
COVID vaccines.
But the cases could have im-
portant repercussions beyond
COVID shots. Most experimen-
tal mRNA therapies and vac-
cines rely on lipid nanoparticle
ingredients and recipes that are
similar to those used in the
COVID shots. If Alnylam wins, it
could be well poised to profit
from future mRNA products as
well.
“You are not going to see this
get dismissed very quickly,”
Silbersher said. “It is hard to say
how strong the case is, but this
is not a bozo complaint. This is a

ing to the New York Post. Rosters would go back
to 26 after May 1, with a maximum of 13 pitches.
ºExtra-inning runner back in for 2022. C2
With the caveat that the Sox may not yet be fin-
ished adding players, here’s a projected 28-man
roster for Opening Day:
Rotation (5): RHP Nate Eovaldi, RHP Nick Piv-
etta, RHP Tanner Houck, RHP Michael Wacha,
LHP Rich Hill.
Explanation: Manager Alex Cora has said the
season will open with Eovaldi, Pivetta, and
Houck. He also has acknowledged Wacha will be a
starter.
If only to mix in a lefty, Hill makes sense as a
No. 5. He has experience, and his being in the ro-
tation would allow Garrett Whitlock to work in a
multi-inning relief role.
Bullpen (10): RHP Matt Barnes, RHP Ryan
Brasier, LHP Austin Davis, LHP Jake Diekman,
LHP Darwinzon Hernandez, RHP Hansel Robles,
RHP Hirokazu Sawamura, RHP Connor Seabold,
LHP Matt Strahm, RHP Garrett Whitlock.

will be there if healthy. Diekman and Strahm were

OXBOROUGH — It’s 14
degrees at 5:55 a.m. and
the promise of daylight is
overshadowed by the
headlights of a huge Ford
truck. Patriots center David Andrews
arrives at Edge Performance Systems
for his daily workout with a smile on
his face.
He wears shorts, a light jacket,
and he carries a Target tote bag. A
Georgia baseball cap covers his NFL
— Not For Long — full head of hair.
By mid-morning, it will be shaved off
for charity.
The five-time Patriots co-captain,
who has won two Super Bowls since
arriving as an undrafted free agent in
2015, is in good spirits. He had right
shoulder surgery five weeks ago and
was recently liberated from a sling.
He has two charitable appearanc-
es on the calendar on this day. So
why on Earth would he arise at 5
a.m. to work with a personal trainer?
Andrews shrugs.
“Doing something hard and un-
comfortable,” he says. “Maybe in my
sick and twisted mind [I think],
‘Does that give me some competitive
advantage over my opponent?’ ”
Follow Andrews around for a day,
and it becomes clear that his passion
for football — and for making a dif-
ference — is paramount.
He’s a working-class hero on and
growls like a lion, and with children,
he’s as gentle as a puppy dog.
He wears a reminder of how lucky
he has been.
On his right wrist is a black band
honoring Marine Corporal Nicholas
G. Xiarhos of Yarmouth Port. He died
in 2009 at age 21 in Afghanistan
while going to the rescue of fellow
Marines in combat. The wristband
was a gift from Xiarhos’s father.
“It’s just to remind me how lucky
we are, how blessed we are,” says An-
drews. “To not complain about chick-
en [expletive].”
Center is perhaps the most thank-
less job in the NFL. Andrews is the
player closest to the enemy.
“It’s the only thing in sports
where it’s five guys in a phone booth
working together,” he says, sipping a
large black Dunkin’, no sugar, post-
workout.
“You’re only as good as your
weakest link. So you can have a four
All-Pro offensive alignment and one
guy that’s not very good, you’re not
going to have a very good offensive
line.”

Brown’s Perry a rarity: Should Bergeron’s future

Likely NFL draft pick
WORCESTER — Brown
quarterback E.J. Perry held his
Pro Day Tuesday at Holy Cross,
with 26 NFL teams in atten-
dance.
Perry completed 47 of 49
passes, demonstrating a wide
variety — timing throws over
the middle, deep throws down
the sideline, throws on the run,
throws against his body, and
back-shoulder throws that re-
quire precise placement.
“Just every single throw that
I’m going to throw in a game,”
Perry said. “The only thing that
stunk is you don’t have pads
and guys trying to hit you.”
But the workout was really
just for show, as Perry’s stock
has been soaring during the
pre-draft process. He was
named MVP of the East-West
Shrine Bowl in February, then
had a terrific performance at
the NFL Combine, where he
graded out as the most athletic
quarterback in this year’s draft
class.

ing. However, the lockout delayed that pro-
cess.
Had the Sox gone to arbitration with any
of their players, it would have been even lon-
ger. During arbitration hearings, both team
and player make cases for the salary they
proposed, with an arbitrator deciding if the
player is worth more than the team’s num-
ber.
“We will see how many cases don’t get
settled,” one league source intimated. “The
number [of players] will determine how
long we need to resolve all of them. But it’s
fair to expect them to go into the season.”
Sox to honor Remy
The Red Sox will wear commemorative
patches with the name and No. 2 of the late
Jerry Remy all season, and honor Remy dur-
ing a ceremony April 20, before a game
against the Blue Jays.
The Somerset native played with the
team from 1978-84, then spent 33 years in
the broadcast booth until his death on Oct.
30 at age 68 following multiple battles with
cancer. The Red Sox Hall of Famer made his
final public appearance on Oct. 5, throwing
out the ceremonial first pitch before the
Wild-Card Game against the Yankees.
“Obviously, this organization thinks the
world of Remy and his family what they
mean to us,” manager Alex Cora said. “Just a
great tribute. Not only to him but his family.”
Where to for Whitlock?
It isn’t a sure bet that Garrett Whitlock is
in the starting rotation to start the year, Co-
ra said. Despite the obvious holes in that ar-
ea, Whitlock still has to show he can pitch in
that role.
“I don’t think you guys know if he’s going
to be a good starter or not,” Cora said. “Say-
ing he should be a starter, how do we know
that? One thing we do know is that he went

ty and a mix that plays against
lefties and righties. He needs to
prove he belongs.
Seabold, a starter, would be a
good choice to work as a long re-
liever or spot starter. Kutter
Crawford could fill that role, too.
Don’t focus too much on who
goes to New York. The Sox will
want to keep as many pitching
options in the organization as
possible.
Catcher (2): Christian
Vázquez, Kevin Plawecki.
Explanation: There’s no real
competition here. The Sox have
Ronaldo Hernández and Connor
Wong on the 40-man roster, but
they need more time in Triple A.
Wong gave the Sox five solid
games last season when needed.
That earned him a lot of trust.
Designated hitter (1): J.D.
Martinez.
Explanation: Cora likes to in-
clude him among the outfield-
ers, and Martinez is likely to get
some innings on defense. But
less is more.
Martinez is a poor defender.
His offensive numbers also re-
cede sharply when he’s in the
outfield. Since 2020, he has an
.874 OPS as a designated hitter
and a .588 OPS as an outfielder.
Outfield (4): RF-CF Jackie
Bradley Jr., CF-LF Kiké Hernán-
dez, LF-CF-RF Rob Refsnyder,
LF-RF Alex Verdugo.
Explanation: Cora has said he
favors an alignment of Verdugo
in left, Hernández in center, and
Bradley in right.
Refsnyder, who turns 31 on
Saturday and is in camp on a mi-
nor-league deal, has six years of
major league experience. He’s a
mor e re li abl e ba ck up tha n
Franchy Cordero, which isn’t
saying much. The Twins used
Refsnyder in center field last
season and he hit lefties well.
Infield (6): UTIL Christian
Arroyo, SS Xander Bogaerts, 1B-
3B Bobby Dalbec, 3B Rafael De-
vers, 1B-3B Travis Shaw, 2B-SS
Trevor Story.
Explanation: Story, who has
not yet officially been added to
the roster, brings power, speed,
and solid defense to the mix.
The Sox were next-to-last in the
majors with 40 stolen bases last
season. Story had 20 for the
Rockies.
Bogaer ts and Devers are
among the best hitters at their
positions in the majors. Devers
needs to make strides defensive-
ly to stay at third base. At 25,
he’s getting too old for the Sox to
blame it on needing more time.
Dalbec lost the job at first
base last season, but earned
more playing time with a good
finish. He’s looked sharp in
spring training. Arroyo came up
as a shortstop and should be
valuable as a utility player who
can provide a spark to the of-
fense.
Shaw can help as a platoon
bat at first base and a solid pinch
hitter.
Injured list (3): LHP James
Paxton (Tommy John recovery),
LHP Chris Sale (rib fracture),
LHP Josh Taylor (herniated
disk).

Postcard from Fort Myers Bradley has started 831 ca-

reer games in center and is a
Gold Glove defender there.
BY STAN GROSSFELD | Globe Staff Hernández has started 209 and
has been an above-average de-
fender. He was particularly good
last season. Bradley will be an ef-
fective right fielder, especially at
Fenway Park, so maybe it will
work. But you could see Bradley
in center in some road parks.
Then again, if Bradley strug-
gles at the plate like he did last
season for Milwaukee (.163/
.236/.261), you may not see him
much at all.
Explanation: Only Paxton is
officially on the injured list at
this point, but the other two are
expected to join him there. Tay-
lor is the closest to a return, per-
haps in mid-April. Paxton is on a

The Sox will be ultra-conser-
vative with him. Maybe early

For Andrews, no offdays in offseason

annually for cancer research at Boston Children’s
Hospital.
Andrews has appeared at hospitals and play-
grounds. He has read at schools, honored veter-
ans, and supported military dog rescues. In 2020,
he was presented with the Patriots’ Ron Burton
Community Service Award for leadership on and
off the field.
Former Patriots lineman Matt Light calls An-
drews a “throwback.”
“He’s a leader, which is why he’s a captain,
which is why he’s the guy that Bill [Belichick]
trusts to help make the best decisions for the
team,” Light explains.
Light is in Quincy to get his head shaved. Fel-
low Patriots alumni Joe Andruzzi and Kyle Van
Noy are also there, alongside Andrews.
Afterward, freshly clipped Governor Charlie
Baker puts an arm around Andrews and takes a
selfie.
Patriots quarterback Mac Jones, who chose
not to be clipped, sticks his tongue out at An-
drews, laughs, and gives him a hug.
Back in his truck, Andrews FaceTimes his
wife, Mackenzie. She says the haircut is not as
bad as she feared.
“My hair grows back fast,” he says.
Mackenzie and David met at the University of
Georgia. She was a cheerleader, and he was smit-
ten, sending a photo of her to friends and pro-
claiming he was going to marry her. She finally
kissed him on a dare, and he eventually proposed
at the 50-yard line. They were married by one of
his former coaches five years ago and have a 6-
month-old son, two dogs, and a cat.
The family loves living in New England.
“90 percent of our relationships are up here,”
Andrews says.
He’s spending the offseason in the area be-
cause he’s reporting to Gillette Stadium for rehab.
“We’re so spoiled as athletes,” Andrews says.
“There’s one guy at the Patriots whose sole job is
to get me back on the field. How many people get
to say they have that?”
Andrews is putting in the work so he’s ready to
protect Jones when the season comes back
around.
“The team goes as the quarterback goes,” An-
drews explains. “I think the same comes from the
center because you’re right in the middle. Call it
his second-in-command.”
Jones and Andrews have a good relationship.
After Georgia beat Alabama in the national
championship in January, Andrews says he taped
Jones’s locker shut with Bulldog stickers to tease
the former Crimson Tide QB.
Jones has impressed Andrews as a natural
leader.
“I think Mac does a really good job of buying
into how we try to do things the ‘Patriot Way,’ ”
Andrews said. “You can’t imagine the pressure.
The media. The pressure you get put on by other
people.”
Not immune to nerves
Andrews remembers being “scared to death”
of Belichick as a rookie in 2015. In a preseason
scrimmage at Gillette Stadium, Andrews fum-
bled. Both he and Tom Brady had to run a lap.
No. 12 was not happy. Afterward, Belichick called
Andrews over to the bench.
“I’m just about to get dog cussed, and I’m huff-
ing and puffing and he’s like, ‘Look, David, when
you have this football, the fate of our organization
is in your hands and we’re trusting you with it.’
“It really challenged me,” Andrews says. “I
think I can count on one hand of my seven
years that I’ve had a bad snap. It really just
drives me to be as good as I can with it.”
That incident was a long time ago. Andrews is
a veteran now, but he still gets the nerves. He esti-
mates he throws up before games 65-75 percent
of the time.
It used to be worse. Take, for example, his first
NFL game in 2015.
“I remember playing Pittsburgh,” he says. ”I’ve
probably already thrown up 10 times right before
the game and I’m trying not to throw up on my-
self on the sideline.
“I mean, I was a kid. It’s Tom Brady. It’s the
New England Patriots. They just won a Super
Bowl, and it’s one of the most famed organiza-
tions in sports, against the Pittsburgh Steelers on
Thursday night. Everybody’s watching.”
One of the highlights of Andrews’s career was
coming back from the 28-3 deficit against the Fal-
cons in his first Super Bowl. His direct snap to
James White helped the Patriots score 2 points
and cut the Falcons’ lead to 8 in the fourth quar-
ter.
But it almost didn’t happen. The play was in-
stalled on the Friday before the game and it was a
disaster.
“I snapped this ball in practice, I think it went
into orbit it was so bad,” Andrews said. “We didn’t
run it again. And I’m like, well, that play is out.
And I’ll be damned if we didn’t call it in that mo-
ment.”
Although he is not yet 30, Andrews has the
wisdom of a coach.
His great uncle is Dan Reeves, who coached
the Falcons. He used to let young David hang out
at training camp and play catch with Michael
Vick.
“He told me, ‘When you go in between those
lines, you have to be two different people,’ and
that’s something that’s always stuck,” Andrews
said.
“My wife laughs at it, because outside of foot-
ball, I’m not very confrontational. I like to party
and have fun, but nothing gets under my skin.
Someone can call me a fat ass, I’m like, whatever.
But someone might touch a quarterback in the
game, and I’m not going to like it.”
That happened in December during the Patri-
ots’ 33-21 loss to the Bills at Gillette. Andrews got
in the grill of Buffalo’s Matt Milano after a late hit
on Jones. He received a taunting penalty and was
later fined.
“It’s never worth 15 yards,” he said. “It felt like
the right thing to do at the time. [But] I can’t hurt
the football team.”
Emphasis on giving back
He’s a man so focused on his sport. So why
does Andrews take a day in March to hit not one
but two charity events? Because growing up, his
parents emphasized giving back to the communi-
ty.
Andrews’s father, who was in the nursing
home business, encouraged David to volunteer
and comfort those with Alzheimer’s and demen-
tia.
“I think anything you can do to just impact
people and put a smile on someone’s face at the
end of the day is worth it,” he says.
At Abby’s House, a women’s and children’s
shelter in Worcester, Andrews fumbles the first
pancakes he makes before changing spatulas and
finding the zone. Told he’ll never beat Bobby Flay,
he laughs.
“I had to use my left hand,” he smirks.
After distributing breakfasts, Andrews meets
privately with mothers and their children. He had
given a $10,000 donation in December so folks
could buy holiday presents, and he wanted to
meet the families.
On the way home, Andrews says it feels good
to help out.
”I hate when people will be like, ‘Oh, I don’t
have enough time now,’ ” he says. “No, you’ve got
enough time. You get your butt up and you go do
it.”

Brown’s Perry is on a rare path: Ivy QB to NFL Draft

uON FOOTBALL
Continued from Page C1
now it’s nonstop.
“I’ve never had anything like this,
and I’ve coached some great players,”
said James Perry, Brown’s head coach
and E.J.’s uncle. “It’s been wild. The in-
terest in E.J. was different before the
Shrine and the combine, and now it’s
on an even different level.”
Perry, who starred at Brown for two
years after transferring from Boston
College, almost certainly will hear his
name called during the NFL Draft
April 28-30, which is no small feat.
Only one Ivy League quarterback in
the last 37 years has been taken in the
draft: Harvard’s Ryan Fitzpatrick in
the seventh round in 2005. Dart-
mouth’s Jay Fiedler and Jeff Kemp had
moderate success in the NFL, but both
went undrafted.
Perry, though, is well on his way to
becoming the next Ivy League QB to
make his mark.
NFL teams are allowed to bring 30
draft prospects to their facilities for in-
terviews (no on-field work), and Perry
has already had a visit with Nick Caser-
io and the Texans, and has one coming
up with Josh McDaniels and the Raid-
ers.

They’ll tell you you’re wrong for favoring
virtually any team in the East over the Celtics
in a playoff series, but then say you can’t use
the d-word (disappointing) if they lose to any of
those teams.
It’s like the zealot Patriot fan who predicts
the team will go 12-5, but then picks them to
win every week and is indignant if you don’t
too.
What’s stopping the Celtics from breaking
through to an NBA Finals?
With their stingy defense, they’re nearly un-
beatable when they execute with the offensive
efficiency and potency they’ve displayed re-
cently. The Celtics have scored 110 points or
more in eight of their 10 games this month.

while shooting 50 percent from the field and
40.5 percent from 3-point range.
Fetishized hustle guy Smart is proving ev-
eryone, including the original Point God, Bob
Cousy, wrong.
There is so much to like about this Green
Team. They play an appealing brand of basket-
ball, showcase young superstars, display per-
sonality, and they’re having fun.
The highlight of this season was versatile
and valuable forward Grant Williams, who like
George Costanza of “Seinfeld” fame is trying to
coin his own nickname (Batman), listing off su-
perhero sobriquets for his teammates after
beating the Thunder.
make it more meaningful and enjoyable, not
less.
The context of this organization is, like the
MCU villain Thanos, inevitable. The Celtics
hang banners for one thing and one thing only,
championships. That’s the goal. That’s the
standard. It always has been. It always will be.
Whether the Celtics reach that bar this year
or next year or two years from now is part of
the journey — enjoy it — but that’s the only
long-term destination.

NCAA MEN’S DIVISION 2 ELITE EIGHT
Bentley comes up short
Falcons’ poor shooting,
19 turnovers prove costly
By Matt Doherty
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT
NW Missouri State 61 The memorable
postseason run by
Bentley 43 the Bentley men’s
basketball team ended Tuesday in the Division 2
Elite Eight.
The fourth-seeded Falcons lost to fifth-seed-
ed Northwest Missouri State, 61-43, in a nation-
al quarterfinal at the Ford Center in Evansville,
Ind.
Bentley finished 25-5. Northwest, the two-
time defending national champion, will play
No. 8 Black Hills State, which beat top seed No-
va Southeastern, 77-67, in the Final Four Thurs-
day.
“I’m really proud of my team, but we ran into
a buzz saw today,” said Bentley coach Jay Law-
son. “As always, our guys fought as much as we
could. Our struggles came on the offensive end,
and a lot of that was attributed to their defense.”
Bentley’s scoring output was its lowest of the
season.
The Falcons uncharacteristically committed
19 turnovers and shot just 30.2 percent from
the field as they struggled to create separation
from an athletic Bearcats unit.
Colton Lawrence led Bentley with 12 points

Top-ranked tennis star Barty, 25, retires
World No. 1-ranked Ash Barty has announced
her retirement from tennis at the age of 25. Barty
said in an emotional video posted Tuesday on so-
cial media: “I’m so happy and I’m so ready. I just
know at the moment in my heart for me as a per-
son this is right.” The announcement comes less
than two months after she won her home Austra-
lian Open, her third Grand Slam singles title. “It’s
the first time I’ve actually said it out loud and,
yeah, it’s hard to say,” Barty told her former dou-
bles partner Casey Dellacqua in the video inter-
view. “But I’m so happy, and I’m so ready . . . I
don’t have the physical drive, the emotional want
and everything it takes to challenge yourself at
the very top of the level any more. I am spent.”
Barty, won her three major singles at the 2019
French Open, Wimbledon last year, at the Austra-
lian Open in January. Barty has held the No. 1
ranking for 114 consecutive weeks.

Nurkic fined $40k by NBA
The NBA fined Jusuf Nurkic of the Trail Blaz-
ers $40,000 for confronting a fan at a game at In-
diana and throwing the person’s cellphone. The
incident happened shortly after Sunday’s game
between the Blazers and the Pacers. Nurkic ap-
proached the fan, walked within a few inches of
the person, grabbed the person’s cellphone and
tossed it into nearby seats. It was not clear what
preceded the incident, which lasted only a few
seconds. A security guard walked between Nur-
kic and the fan after the phone was tossed, at
which point the Blazers center walked away . . .
The NBA fined Warriors forward Draymond
Green $25,000 for directing profane language to-
ward a game official. Green was ejected in the
third quarter Sunday night after getting called
for two technical fouls in an eight-second span.
FOOTBALL
Vikings pick up LB Smith
The Minnesota Vikings and free agent outside
linebacker Za’Darius Smith agreed to terms on a
three-year, $42 million contract, giving the team
a pass-rushing boost from a player recently let go
by their biggest rival. Smith, who spent the last
three seasons with the Packers, has incentives to
earn up to $47 million over the life of the deal.
The 29-year-old Smith was a Pro Bowl pick in

and Jordan Mello-Klein added 10.
“We don’t play a lot of athletes like that who
can stay in front of their men,” said Mello-Klein.
“It usually loosens up as the game goes on. But
that stayed throughout the whole game and
they did a good job of preventing us from get-
ting the ball moving.”
Bentley never led, but sliced the deficit to 32-
27 early in the second half. Northwest (32-5) re-
sponded with a 19-5 run over the next six min-
utes to pull away.
Trevor Hudgins, a first-team All-American,
led the Bearcats with 24 points and Diego Ber-
nard filled the stat sheet with 12 points, 13 re-
bounds, 5 steals, and 4 assists.
“I thought it showed today that they have a
couple players that we’re not going to see at our
level in the Northeast,” said Lawson.
Despite the defeat, Lawson praised his team
for a terrific season, especially after sitting out
all of last year because of COVID-19.
Mello-Klein, Lawrence, and forward Pete
Blust were graduate students who opted to re-
turn to Bentley for a fifth year offered by the
NCAA. The veteran unit helped lead the Falcons
to Northeast 10 regular-season and conference
titles as well as the program’s first Elite Eight
appearance since 2010.
“I’ve been at Bentley 37 years, and no other
team has been a symbol of our program more
than this team,” said Lawson. “I’m really, really
proud of them.”
2019 and 2020 with a combined 26 sacks in 32
games, but he had a major back injury last sea-
son and appeared in only one games. The Packers
released Smith last week.
Armstead joining Dolphins
Terron Armstead has become the Dolphins’
latest big free agent move, announcing that he’s
joining the team after spending his first nine
NFL seasons with the Saints. Armstead instantly
becomes the presumed starter at left tackle for
the Dolphins, whose offensive line struggled at
times last season. A person with knowledge of
the agreement said Armstead will sign a five-year
deal worth nearly $75 million, with about $44
million guaranteed.

Braves’ Acuña to miss spring
Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. won’t see
game action in spring training, even as a designat-
ed hitter, as it becomes increasingly likely he will
miss at least the first month of the regular season.
“No. You won’t see him in a spring game,” manag-
er Brian Snitker said. Acuña, recovering from a
torn ACL in his right knee suffered midway
through last season, expressed hope at the start of
spring training that he would be ready for the de-
fending World Series champion Braves’ opener on
April 7.
Judge to salary arbitration
Yankees slugger Aaron Judge and five players
from the World Series champion Braves are
among 31 players headed toward salary arbitra-
tion hearings that will occur during the regular
season after they failed to reach contracts and ex-
changed figures with their teams. Judge can be-
come a free agent after the World Series, and the
outfielder and the team want to discuss a long-
term deal. Judge has asked for $21 million, while
the Yankees have offered $17 million. Atlanta GM
Alex Anthopoulos could wind up with awkward
hearings against third baseman Austin Riley,
shortstop Dansby Swanson, outfielder Adam Du-
vall and pitchers Max Fried and Luke Jackson.
Anthopoulos told The Athletic Atlanta’s club-
house was “rattled” when popular slugger Freddie
Freeman left for the Dodgers as a free agent . . .
Pete Alonso and the Mets agreed to one-year con-
tracts that avoided arbitration.

DeLELLO, Kathleen M.
“Kate” (McGowan)
orothy Harrington passed
away from colon cancer at
her home in Beverly, MA
on February 24, 2022.
Born Sept. 24, 1937,
in Danvers, Dottie Leahy would make
both an immediate and lasting impact
on the world. There was an 11-year
difference between Dot and her only
sibling Richard, and, according to Dot,
her parents “never really knew what
to make of me.” She was an emphatic,
often exuberant, person for whom life
was often an adventure — or a comedy.
Dot grew up in North Salem,
remaining an expert in all things
Salem. She frequented the city’s
basketball and tennis courts, often
preferring to play with the boys. Sports
and physical activity remained a big
part of Dot’s life until health issues
curtailed those activities in recent
years. “The Pit” at McGlew Park
featured prominently in Dot’s early life,
as did Greenlawn Cemetery, which was
basically in her backyard,and where
her father worked as a groundskeeper.
Despite living across the street, Dot
was late to the Pickering School most
days. On her first day, she noted that
the kindergarten teacher in the other
classroom seemed to be the younger
and potentially more amusing choice,
and so she simply moved her chair to
where the action was. Indeed, often
Dot’s mere presence defined where the
action was.
Dottie met the young Michael
J. Harrington at a St. John’s Prep
football dance, when she was a Salem
High freshman. Michael remembers
spending the next several years
“chasing her around North Salem.”
They married in 1959 and headed to
McINTYRE, Robert K. MD
Dr. Bob
Nantucket for their honeymoon with
neither a plane nor a hotel reservation.
They were married for 62 years and
together for 69.
Dot loved telling stories and all
who knew and loved her, especially
her husband and children, already
miss hearing those tales. Including
when she received a “merry widow.”
What is a merry widow?” As a
wedding gift, when she was fired after
getting engaged, when her son Keith
got “stuck” on the beach wall, and
when she was almost fired from her
volunteer job at Salem Hospital. There
are many, many more.
A character in the best sense, she
was a master of malapropisms, which
were hilarious and often repeated. She
loved to laugh, often at herself, and
had an infectious, more than slightly
offbeat, sense of humor.
Dot was widely viewed as her
husband’s best political asset and he
often noted (correctly!) that people
preferred her to him.
The mother of five children, she was,
in the parlance of the day,” housewife”
when her children were growing up.
That was a misnomer, though, as
she was rarely homeless, as her son
Michael can attest. She could often
be found either on a tennis court or
a golf course, the setting for some of
her most enduring friendships, or
caring for her own mother and other
family members, including Aunt Mary
and Elliott. Dot’s physical decline and
her loss of the ability to play sports
was a difficult transition for her. She
frequently noted that she “hated
aging.” Even absent athletics, though,
the friendships continued.
Dot was a charter member (though
never an officer!) of “The Book Club,”
comprised of friends spanning much
of her adult lifetime. She was an active
participant even through it’s most
recent meeting, though memory issues
made reading the book impossible.
(Reading the book, however, per
Dot was never a requirement for
attendance.) During the last several
years of her life, Dot dealt with
multiple health challenges including
back issues and cognitive decline. She
was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon
cancer in September 2021, chose to
forgo palliative chemotherapy and
spent the months after her diagnosis
in relative comfort and in the company
of family and friends. She and her
family were blessed with remarkable
caregivers, including Marie Nies,
Angela Willoughby, Care Dimensions
and Aberdeen, which allowed her
to stay at home during her illness.
Providing unforgettable love and
support to Dot and her family.
In Dot’s memory, the family
encourages everyone to have regular
colonoscopies. Donations in her name
can be made to Beverly Bootstraps, St.
Jude Children’s Hospital or the Friends
of the Salem Common.

JOYCE, Anna M. (DiPaolo)
Of Saugus, formerly of Malden, passed
away peacefully on Sunday, March 20,
2022. Anna was born in Portland, ME
in 1937 to Rosario and Laura DiPaolo.
In 1958, Anna married her high school
sweetheart, Robert (Bob) J. Joyce. In
1963 the couple moved to Malden, MA
where Anna and Bob would remain
longtime residents. They shared a
wonderful life together for 57 years
until Bob’s passing in 2015, rich with
the blessings of their family and many
close friends.
First and foremost, Anna was
a devoted mother and loving
grandmother. Nothing gave her more
pleasure than spending time with
her family, her four grandchildren
were her pride and joy. Holidays and
family get-togethers were particularly
important to Anna where special meals
were shared and enjoyed. Italian food
specialties and New England seafood
were her favorites. Despite living in
MA for almost 60 years, Anna was a
true Mainer at heart. She often spent
time with family and friends in the
Portland area. Anna and Bob were avid
train travelers and visited almost all
50 states. She loved being in the sun
and relaxing on the deck in her favorite
chair. Anna found all types of history
fascinating and enjoyed reading and
listening to books on tape. She was a
dedicated member of the St. Joseph
Parish and was involved with many
clubs and groups at the church. Along
with Bob, Anna was also active with the
Moose Lodge of Malden and the Italian
American Citizens Club of Wakefield.
Anna leaves her loving children
Catherine Hult and husband Joseph of
Hanover, Steven Joyce of Mission Viejo,
CA, Thomas Joyce and wife Stacey of
West Roxbury, Elizabeth Buckley of
Melrose; her cherished grandchildren,
Casey and Ryan Hult, and Stephen
and Timothy Buckley. Anna was
preceded in death by her husband
Bob, and her siblings, John DiPaolo,
Mary Rosetti, and Lucy Hubner. She
deeply appreciated the kindness of her
neighbors and community at Sheffield
Heights and especially, the Imbrogna
family. Her family would like to thank
the wonderful caregivers at Hebrew
Rehabilitation Center at NewBridge on
the Charles in Dedham who provided
such compassionate care making her
final days happy and comfortable.
Visitation will be held on Thursday,
March 24th from 4-7pm at the Weir-
MacCuish Golden Rule Funeral Home,

KELLIHER, Kevin A.
Of Reading, formerly of Melrose,
died Sunday, March 20th, age 81.
Born and raised in Everett, Kevin was
predeceased by his parents Elwin and
Kathleen (McAuliffe) Kelliher. Beloved
husband of Frances (Carrabis) with
whom he shared 58 years of marriage.
Loving father of Jim Kelliher of Beverly,
Chris Kelliher & his wife Sherese of
South Dakota and Paula Antonevich &
her Husband Russ of Boston. Cherished
grandfather of Michael, Kevin, Allison,
Brooke and Ashlyn. Proud great-
grandfather of Madden. Caring brother
of John Kelliher & his wife Joyce of
Swampscott, Colin Kelliher & his wife
Adrienne of Marblehead, Mary Veno &
her husband Lenny of Tewksbury and
Richard Kelliher & his wife Yvette of
Norwood. Caring brother-in-law of Bill
Carrabis & his partner Patricia Francis
of Norwood. Also survived by many
nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
Kevin graduated BC High in 1957 and
inspired by his cousin Henry Schlegel
enlisted in the Marines, proudly serving
for six years. In 1963, he joined NE
Telephone and had a successful thirty-
year career that started in the mail-
room and ended as a regional manager.
With a young family to support, Kevin
still pursued his education part-time,
earning a BS from Merrimack College
and an MBA from Suffolk University. A
highlight of his career was the oppor-
tunity to live and work in Gibraltar for
three years, expanding his and Fran’s
wide circle of friends and igniting a
love of travel throughout Europe. Kevin
loved his family fiercely, and was happi-
est in their company. He will be remem-
bered for his kindness and for his in-
tegrity, for whom doing the right thing,
no matter how difficult, was of utmost
importance. Fondest memories were
made with family vacations at Goose
Rocks Beach in Maine and at La Piola
in Volterra, Italy. Kevin was a voracious
reader with a deep passion for world
and local history and a knack for re-
membering details and dates. After his
retirement, he volunteered as a guide
with Boston by Foot. In spite of serious
medical challenges diagnosed in his
20’s, Kevin was willing to try medical
interventions that would improve and
prolong his health. The family is grate-
ful for the medical staff at Lahey Clinic
who gave him a lifetime of quality care.
In lieu of flowers, please honor Kevin’s
memory with a donation to the Melrose
Veteran’s Fund, c/o Veterans Office, 201

PYE, Patricia (Sheehan)
On Sunday, March 20, 2022, Patri-
cia (Sheehan) Pye, of North Easton,
formerly of Hyde Park, passed away
after a long illness, surrounded by the
love of family. Patty was 67 yrs. old,
and was the daughter of the late Paul
and Rose Sheehan. She was born on
March 19, 1955, raised in Hyde Park
and graduated in 1974 from Hyde Park
High School.
As a mother with two children, Patty
returned to school at Southeastern
Regional Vocational Technical School
to obtain her LPN and then went on
to Quincy College and received her
associate’s degree in science, and
became a registered nurse. Patty’s
early career in nursing began at West
Acres Nursing Home in Brockton, but
she soon found her calling, at her job
at the Massachusetts Hospital School
in Canton, where she cared for some
of the most vulnerable physically and
intellectually challenged children in
the Commonwealth. Patty greeted her
patient’s each morning with a smile and
a song. In 2016, she received the Nurse
of the Year award, an honor bestowed
on her through a vote by her peers. She
retired after twenty years of Service
in 2019. Patty enjoyed volunteering,
working out, gardening, traveling, and
the beach.
Patty’s love of the beach was only
surpassed by her love of family. She is
predeceased by her son Michael Pye,
her brother Dennis Sheehan, and her
sister Anne Fallo. She is survived by her
cherished daughter Colleen of Stough-
ton; her brothers Paul Sheehan of
Wrentham, Michael Sheehan of Boston,
Jerry Sheehan and wife Laura of Hing-

STAMAS, James T.
Of Andover, Massachusetts,
passed away after a brief
illness on March 21, 2022.
Jim was born in Greenfield, MA, the
second of four children.
Jim attended the University of
Massachusetts Amherst where he
earned a BA, and met his wife, Barbara.
Married in 1955 and remaining happily
married until she passed away in
2001 from ALS. Jim was a Veteran
and served in the U.S. Army and was
stationed for a time at Fort Knox,
Kentucky.
After serving in the Army, Jim
worked for Raytheon for a time
before finding his true calling in the
hospitality field. His first hospitality
job was in Human Resources
Administration with Hotel Corporation
of America, which became Sonesta
Hotels. In 1973, he joined Dunfey
Hotels in their corporate office, which
became Omni Hotels until retiring in
1988 as the company’s Executive VP
in charge of Administration. Upon his
retirement, he started Stamas Partners,
a consulting firm for the hospitality
industry. One of Stamas Partners
clients was the fledgling Boston
University Hospitality program which
invited Jim to become The Schools
first Dean and lead its development.
Among his achievements as Dean
were a substantial increase in the
number of students enrolled, and a
highly successful fund-raising effort
dedicated to the School of Hospitality.
As a proponent of the program, he was
known to drive all over New England
to conduct one on one interviews even
with a single prospective student for
the program. Jim served as Dean from
1995 until his retirement in 2010.
However significant his professional
accomplishments, Jim’s greatest
passion was always his family. For
anyone visiting from out of town there
was always a place to stay with him and
Barbara if you were family. In 1988, he
and Barbara purchased a condominium
in Waterville Valley for the family
to use when they weren’t there, and
often, when they were. It made him
smile knowing each of his children
today have places of their own in the
Valley. One of his favorite pastimes
was to give updates to his children and
their spouses about his grandchildren
which he had gleaned from frequent
communications with the younger
generation.
Jim is survived by his brother,
Stephen Stamas of Scarsdale, NY, his
sister Kathy of Lower Gwynedd, PA;
his three children, TJ, his wife Kim,
Kathy, her husband Alex, and Jimmy,
and his wife, Susan; five grandchildren
Nicholas, Allison, Jacob, Jennifer and
Matthew; and four great-grandchildren
Eva, Zoey, Sam, & Charlie. He was
predeceased by his wife of 45 years,
Barbara, and a brother Spelios, “Spike”
in 2018.
The family would like to extend
a special thank you to the entire
Immaculate Healthcare team for the
assistance you gave to our father over
the past few months.
Family and friends are invited to
Calling Hours on Thursday March 24,
2022 from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Conte

Chris Madden, 73, lifestyle personality
By Penelope Green
NEW YORK TIMES
Chris Madden, a lifestyle and
decorating author and personal-
ity who lent her name to furni-
ture and housewares, including
a collection for J.C. Penney, and
was an early program host on
HGTV, the addictive cable net-
work devoted to the home, died
March 2 in Vero Beach, Fla. She
was 73.
Her husband, Kevin, said she
died in a hospital from head in-
juries she had suffered in a fall at
their home. Chris Madden had a
rare genetic disorder, hereditary
hemorrhagic telangiectasia, or
HHT, which causes malforma-
tions of the blood vessels.
Ms. Madden, a telegenic for-
mer model and publishing exec-
utive who wrote books on deco-
rating, was sometimes com-
pared to Martha Stewart, the
steely lifestyle guru — but a
kinder, gentler version, as Joyce
Wadler of The New York Times
put it in 2007.
“She helps them impress,”
Ms. Madden said of Stewart. “I
help them decompress.”
She had already written a col-
lection of books on interiors —
including “Kitchens” (1993) and
“Bathrooms” (1996) — when, in
1997, she published what
proved to be her most successful
book by far: “A Room of Her
Own,” about women’s private
spaces, from Oprah Winfrey’s to
a nun’s. It was inspired by her
own sanctuary: Grieving after a
sister’s death by suicide in 1995,
Ms. Madden created a retreat of
sorts in a closet of her
Westchester County home in
New York, a place to meditate
and mourn.
“ I d i d n’ t h av e a p l a c e t o
mourn her,” she told The New
York Times in 2007, “so I creat-
ed my own personal space.”
The book touched a nerve
and sold more than 100,000
copies. Ms. Madden became a
sought-after speaker and guest
on television. Bed Bath & Be-
yond sold her Sanctuary collec-
tion, a line of decorative throws
and pillows inspired by the
book. She also lent her name to
candles, baby furniture, and a
rug collection. In 2002, she be-
gan a furniture and housewares
line for J.C. Penney, which grew
to a collection of more than
2,000 pieces that the company
sold until 2012.
“Her furniture’s dark wood
tones, muted Scottish plaids and
English cabbage rose patterns
are meant to convey a haven
from stress,” The New York
Times wrote in 2002. “They are
also meant to appeal to a broad
market. Her $24.99 pillows, for
example, are not stuffed with
down and covered in Irish linen;
they are polyester, covered in
synthetic fabrics.”
Ms. Madden told Parade
magazine in 2004: “I really be-
Sierra Jenkins, journalist
‘where she needed to be’
By Ben Finley
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NORFOLK, Va. — Sierra Jen-
kins was a young Black journal-
ist working in a rapidly shrink-
ing industry where colleagues
often didn’t look like her. But
Jenkins, 25, was exactly where
she wanted to be, covering social
issues and education for her
hometown newspaper in Nor-
folk, Va.
“She felt like she was where
she needed to be,” said Denise
Watson, features editor for The
Virginian-Pilot newspaper and
an unofficial mentor. “She loved
finding good stories, telling good
stories and the idea that what
you write can make a differ-
ence.”
Ms. Jenkins’s ambitions,
which included becoming an in-
vestigative reporter, were cut
short Saturday when she was
caught in the crossfire of a
shooting outside a bar, Norfolk
police said.
Ms. Jenkins and her best
friend had gone out with a group
of people Friday evening, the
Pilot reported. An argument
over a spilled drink led to the
shooting that killed Jenkins and
another person and wounded
three others, police said.
Ms. Jenkins was scheduled
for the breaking news shift that
day, and editors had reached out
to her to cover the shooting be-
fore they learned of her death,
the Pilot reported.

Chris Madden was published by
Hearst and sent to subscribers of

two years starting in 2005.
She married Kevin Madden,
then advertising director of New
York magazine, in 1974. He
would go on to be publisher of
Self, House & Garden, and Bon
Appétit, and then CEO of his
wife’s company, Chris Madden
Inc.
Ann Christine Casson was
born June 1, 1948, in Rockville
Centre, N.Y., on Long Island, one
of nine children. Her father, Ed-
ward Gaynor Casson, was a sales
executive at the Mohawk Brush
Co. Her mother, Ann Marie
(Hill) Casson, was a homemaker
who taught her children to sew
and cook and even upholster
furniture.
Chris was a model as a child
and a teenager. She majored in
fashion merchandising at the
Fashion Institute of Technology
in Manhattan, although she
dropped out in her senior year to
work as an assistant in the photo
department of Sports Illustrat-
ed.
She worked in the publicity
departments at several publish-

24, she was hired as director of
publicity at Farrar, Straus & Gir-
oux — until being fired by Simon
& Schuster in the late 1970s,
Kevin Madden said, for not be-

Ms. Jenkins covered educa-
tion at a time when school board
members were being threatened
in the region — and across the
country — over coronavirus
restrictions and how the nation’s
history of race can be taught.
“One of the pieces that she
was proudest of was looking at
what divisive curriculum is and
what it means for teachers and
classrooms,’’ said Sara Gregory, a
former Pilot colleague. “She
wasn’t writing about the politics
of it. She was writing about how
individual teachers are trying to
figure out what this means for
teaching intellectually honest
history to their students.”
Watson, the features editor,
said Ms. Jenkins also was inter-

that both teachers and parents
have faced during the pandemic.

was like for teachers, parents
would be more sympathetic,’’
Watson said. “And if teachers

At the same time, she began

She first wrote a cookbook (“The
Compleat Lemon,” with Susan

then a book on New York City
(“Manhattan,” with Jean-Claude
Suares, published in 1981). Af-
ter her book on decorators, “In-
terior Visions: Great American
Designers and the Showcase
House,” was published in 1988,
she began to focus on interior
design.
In addition to her books, she
was a host on HGTV almost
from its beginnings in 1994. She
oversaw the program “Interiors

work of decorators around the
country, from 1995 until 2003.
Along with her husband, she

Ms. Madden was in her 30s
when she was diagnosed with
HHT, which caused her to suffer
from massive nosebleeds. Over
the years she had three brain
surgeries, among other treat-

In recent years she was an
advocate for people with her
condition and for the National
Organization for Rare Disor-

her husband said, of her arrest

Ms. Jenkins grew up in Nor-

father, Maurice Jenkins, told the
newspaper that she was always a
responsible child, someone who
didn’t need to be told to do her
homework. She had already paid
off her student loans from col-

car.
“Sierra — and I don’t say this

Ms. Jenkins attended Tide-

From April 18-30, 2023, it’s back to
England again as the Opera House
plays host to the Lincoln Center The-
ater production of the Lerner and
Loewe classic “My Fair Lady,” followed
from May 2-14, 2023, by “Beetlejuice.”
“Jagged Little Pill,” which was in-
spired by Alanis Morissette’s 1995 al-
bum and premiered at the ART before
transferring to Broadway, will make its
way back to the 617 area code from
June 13-25, 2023.
Rounding out the Broadway In Bos-
ton season will be the uplifting “Come
From Away,” a musical about a small
Canadian town that welcomed thou-
sands of plane passengers who had
been diverted on 9/11. It will be at the
Opera House Aug. 8-13, 2023.

“I just like to talk to people and
then see where it goes,” he says,
speaking by Zoom. “And then it
sometimes might feed me into some-
thing that I want to do, that I had
planned to talk about.”
In addition to appearing on cam-
era in sketches, Mecurio’s job at “The
Late Show” is to welcome the audi-
ence into the Ed Sullivan Theater
and get them

guests. Mecurio
$25, offcabot.org explains the
ground rules,
the most impor-
tant of which is
that the audience can’t be passive
like they would be at home in front of
their televisions.
He says he and Colbert give the
audience a similar pre-show mes-
sage. “We say the same thing — we
do the show with you, not for you,”
says Mecurio. “I tell them, look,
you’re going to drive this with your
energy, you’re going to create this
wave, and we’re going to surf it, but
you guys have to be there for us. And
then I have to be funny, because they
have to laugh.”
Since warming up the “Late
Show” crowd is different from per-
forming in a stand-up club, Mecurio
adjusted and started bringing audi-
ence members at his shows onstage
for conversations. “If they know
you’re not going to compromise
them, and they know you’re not go-
ing to be obnoxious, they’ll give you
the world,” he says. “In fact, they
want to, because most people have a
little bit of a performer in them and
now they’re on this stage.”
Mecurio’s people-friendly ap-
proach has paid off. They open up to
him about their lives and work, and
occasionally follow up with him on
social media. In early 2018, some
theater producers saw his interac-
tions with the audience and thought
it was a trick, that the people he
spoke to were plants and the dia-
logue was worked out beforehand.
When Mecurio assured them it
wasn’t, he went to work on his off-
Broadway one-man show, “Permis-
sion to Speak.” Its run at the Actors’
Temple Theatre had to shut down
during the pandemic, but Mecurio is
working on bringing the live show
back this year and developing a pitch
for a TV show.
On the Zoom call, Mecurio looks
truly tickled relating some of the sto-
ries he’s gotten from “Permission to
Speak.” At one show, he talked to a
couple who he thought looked to be
in their 70s. “I said, ‘How’d you
meet?’ and they said, ‘An S&M web-
site.’ I said, ‘When you were in your
20s?’ ‘Oh, no, no, we just met like a

when I go on stage, I

people. . . . So instead
of me denying that
and suppressing that,
it’s just owning it.’

year ago.’ Now the whole place is
leaning forward, and they start to tell
me this incredible story.”
Mecurio also applies his conversa-
tional skills on his podcast, “Inside
Out with Paul Mecurio,” for which he
has interviewed everyone from Paul
McCartney to Spike Lee to Neil de-
Grasse Tyson.
Talking to the crowd is just one
finding out he specialized in corpo-
rate law. “That’s the worst, the lowest
of the low, you’re evil, you kill kit-
tens,” he imagines them saying. “And
I’m like, ‘Uh, we would outsource
that.’ ”
Longtime fans may remember
him as Paul “Mercurio.” He dropped
the first “r” when he started acting
because there was another actor with
that name. Film work, like shooting a
small role in the upcoming Megan
Fox movie “Johnny & Clyde,” helped
fill some of the space for Mecurio
during the pandemic when he
couldn’t be in front of people.
There were points in Mecurio’s
career when he could have stayed
put. He could have kept his job in
law and stayed in his cushy apart-
ment. He could have kept writing for
TV after “The Daily Show” and main-
tained a stable career without having
to go on the road. Ultimately, Mecu-
rio knows that wouldn’t have
worked. He needs the interaction.
“I don’t know why when I go on
stage, I can’t not talk to the people,”
he says. “There’s something about
me that likes to talk to people, right?
So instead of me denying that and
suppressing that, it’s just owning it.”
Comedy wasn’t a decision, it was
a calling. “I kept thinking that I
picked it,” he says, “but it picked me.”

Pandemic restrictions may be over,
but COVID-19 is still upending the best
laid plans.
On Monday, indie darling Mitski an-

Boston concerts because someone on
her tour had tested positive for the vi-

“Due to a positive Covid test in the

tonight and tomorrow will be post-

Twitter. “New dates will be announced
soon and all tickets will be honored.”
The sold-out Boston shows, original-
ly scheduled for Monday and Tuesday,
were two of the first scheduled at Road-

Boston Landing. The 3,500-capacity
hall had its inaugural show just last
week with bluegrass artist Billy Strings.

Grammy winner John Mayer also had
to postpone a handful of shows this
month, including two concerts at TD

members tested positive. It marked the
second time in two months that Mayer
had tested positive for COVID.

1 2 Chowhounds now
It’s the end of an era for the website.
But its influence lives on.
By Devra First
GLOBE STAFF
RIP Chowhound, born 1997,
deceased 2022 — although some
say its demise began when the
scrappy, independent food web-
site was purchased by CNET in
3 4 2006. Or perhaps it was in 2015,
when a redesign by then-owner
CBS Interactive rendered the site
so difficult to use that many long-
time devotees simply left. In 2020,
it was acquired by Red Ventures,
which recently announced it will
shut the site down forever on
March 28.
An artifact of the early food In-
ternet, with a barely designed in-
terface and simple, photo-free
message-board format, Chow-
hound appears highly quaint be-
side today’s TikToks, Instagrams,
5 6 and the like. But it functioned —
and how — exactly as it was
meant to. It gave users an early
space to congregate online and
engage in passionate, sometimes
heated, conversations about far-
flung cuisines, little-known res-
taurants, foolproof recipes, favor-
ite cookware brands, travel tips,
desert-island cookbooks, obscure
liqueurs, and so much more. In
the process, over its 25 years, it
shaped a different kind of food ob-
sessive — not a “foodie” but a
chowhound, or, simply, hound —
and became a real community.
“Chowhounds know where the
good stuff is, and they never settle
for less than optimal delicious-
ness, whether dining in splendor
or grabbing a quick slice,” reads
t h e C h o w h o u n d Ma n i f e s t o .
“We’re not talking about foodies.
Foodies eat where they’re told.
Chowhounds blaze trails. They
comb through neighborhoods for
culinary treasure. They despise
hype. And while they appreciate
ambiance and service, they can’t
be fooled by flash.”
At the time, this was revolu-
tionary. Food Network was only
four years old. Yelp launched in
2004, Eater the year after that. Co-
founders Jim Leff and Bob Oku-
mura started Chowhound months
before the term “weblog” was

Barbara Litwin’s knack for
inventing puns and quips led
her to launch her online busi-

the Newton resident sells col-
lections of gift items with wit-

many of them her own. “Even
as a kid, I always loved mak-

win. For instance, several
years ago, she had printed on
guest towels her original say-
ing “Hurry back . . . we’re
talking about you.” A produc-
er for Whoopi Goldberg
stumbled on the towels and
featured some of Litwin’s

“The View.” “My website

apulted,” she says. Before
that, she designed towels to

addressing what Moses told
the Pharaoh and at the same

Bialys
Makes 6
“There was a time when bialys were ubiquitous in ba-
gel shops,” writes Cathy Barrow in “Bagels, Schmears,
and a Nice Piece of Fish.” Bialys are made from a
yeast dough that is shaped into disks and flattened in
the center to make space for sauteed onions and pop-
pyseeds. Barrow writes that the dough can overproof
and puff into dinner rolls, so watch them during the
second proof. You want the centers to be open so you
can fill them with onions just before baking. They are
best eaten within a day (and don't freeze well). The
dough is made in a heavy-duty mixer with a dough
hook. Barrow calls for adding vital wheat gluten to
all-purpose flour to make a high-protein flour. To use
vital wheat gluten, add 2 teaspoons per 1 cup flour.
The recipe made with King Arthur All-Purpose Flour
also works well without the extra gluten. You need to
heat a pizza stone in the middle rack of the oven for
30 minutes before baking the bialys.
TOPPING
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, halved and thinly sliced
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons plain dried white breadcrumbs
½ teaspoon poppyseeds
1. In a large deep skillet over medium-high heat, heat
the oil until it shimmers. Add the onions and salt.
Stir well. Turn the heat to medium-low and cook,
stirring often, for 25 minutes, or until the onions are
softened and only slightly tan.
2. Transfer the onions to a bowl and stir in the bread-
crumbs and poppyseeds. Set aside to cool.
DOUGH
2¾ cups high-gluten flour
¾ cup water
1½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon instant yeast
3 tablespoons cornmeal (for sprinkling)
Extra flour (for sprinkling)
1. In a mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the
flour, water, salt, and yeast. On low speed, mix until
there are no dry patches of flour showing. Stop to
scrape down the sides of the bowl once or twice. If
you still see dry patches of flour, add a few drops of
water to the bowl. Turn the speed to medium. Mix for
2 to 3 minutes, or until the sides of the bowl are near-

Insider
You’ve mastered sourdough;
time to try bagels, bialys,
and home-cured lox
C
athy Barrow was raised in Toledo,
Ohio, on bagels her Grandmother
Bea bought in Brookline, where
she lived, packed into a big hat-
box, and carried on the plane on
visits to her Midwestern family.
As an adult, because of those
warm memories, Barrow decided
to start making her own. “Bagels,
Schmears, and a Nice Piece of
Fish: A Whole Brunch of Recipes to Make at Home”
is the result of years of bagel experiments. That
evolved into preparing traditional creamy spreads
for the chewy rounds, and then cured and smoked
fish, also essential on a classic Jewish deli platter.
Barrow is a skilled storyteller and an exceptionally
good recipe writer whose formulas work (in this re-
spect, she is part of a very small club, even among
best-selling authors).
There are many good bagel shops in the Boston
area, so I never had the urge to make my own, but
bialys, lost treasures of the Jewish table, are diffi-
cult to find. These yeasty disks are filled with sau-
teed onions and poppyseeds. It turns out they’re
quite easy to make, shape, and bake, best on a pizza
stone, and the results are impressive. To get the
right texture and shiny exterior on bagels, Barrow’s
secret is to mix a little gluten booster, called vital
wheat gluten, with all-purpose flour (you can buy it
at Elmendorf Baking Supplies in Cambridge). I
made bialys successfully without it — they were ter-
rific — but in another batch, where I did use the
gluten boost, the texture was remarkably good.
All of of Barrow’s recipes yield small amounts
ly clean. Leave the mixer bowl on the
stand. Cover the bowl with a clean
kitchen towel. Let the dough rest for
10 minutes to allow the flour to hy-
drate evenly.
2. Uncover the bowl, turn the mixer
speed to medium, and let it run for a
full 5 minutes (do not leave the mixer;
it can “walk” across the counter), or
until the dough is smooth and satiny
and the sides of the bowl are clean.
The dough will be slightly sticky.
3. Remove the bowl from the mixer
stand. Cover tightly with plastic wrap
and leave to rise in a warm place for
45 to 60 minutes, or until doubled in
size.
4. Place a pizza stone, baking steel, or
inverted baking sheet on the center
rack of the oven. Set the oven at 450
degrees and let it heat for at least 30
minutes. Have on hand a 9-by-13-inch
sheet of parchment paper. Place it on
a pizza peel, large cutting board, or an
inverted baking sheet. Dust with corn-
meal.
5. Generously flour a counter and
turn the dough out onto it. Coat the
dough all over with flour, deflating it
and pressing it into a rectangle. Divide the dough in-
to 6 equal pieces. Working with 1 piece at a time, flat-
ten it into a disk, then lift and pull the edges toward
the center to form a ball. Place it seams down on the
counter. Roll it under your cupped palm to form a
snug, smooth exterior. Repeat with the other 5 piec-
es, lining them up in the order in which you're work-
ing on them.
6. Starting with the first ball, flatten it into a 5-inch
disk. Lift it up, holding it by the edge and continue to
turn it to form an outer rim. Place it on the parch-
ment paper. Use your fingertips to flatten the center
of the round, pressing out any air bubbles, dimpling
it, and pressing down hard until you feel the surface
under the dough. The bialy should be flat in the cen-
ter with a rim. Repeat with the remaining balls in the
order you shaped them originally. By the time you
shape the last ball, the first one will have shrunk to
3¼ to 4 inches; that’s OK.
7. Cover the rounds with a clean kitchen towel. Let
them proof at room temperature for 15 to 30 min-
utes, or until they are puffy and a fingerprint remains
in the dough when it's pressed.

(six bialys, six bagels), so you don’t find yourself
shaping a dozen pieces of dough and then filling
your freezer with baked goods. They’re meant to
eat right now, with a schmear — chive or scallion
cheese are two choices — and a slice or two of fish.
The recipe for home-cured lox, for which you start
with a piece of salmon and refrigerate it covered
with salt and sugar (the only three ingredients), is
spectacular. Lox is not smoked fish. It’s more like
gravlax, which is herbier. The only thing you need
for lox is time:
ºRecipes for Bialys and two to three days.
Home-Cured Lox are below. You turn the fish
every 24 hours,
and like wizardry, you achieve silky, smooth,
brightly colored fish. Making lox felt like magic; it
cured exactly as Barrow said. The most difficult
part was slicing thinly enough “to read the newspa-
per through the slice,” according to the author’s
grandfather. Just follow her instructions.
Barrow also has recipes for salads, such as
smoked whitefish, and an egg salad mixed with
pickle relish, chives, sour cream, and Balaboosta
Mayonnaise (balaboosta is a Yiddish term for a
good homemaker). Photos by Linda Xiao are sim-
ple and splendid, though I started to obsess about
getting my bialys to look just like the ones on the
page. Relax, I told myself. They’re not going to
hang in a gallery. They’re going into your tummy,
warm, with or without a schmear.

8. Repeat the dimpling process in the rounds, press-
ing out a 2-to-3-inch area in the middle of the rounds
for the topping with a chubby edge. Place about ¼
cup of the onion mixture in the center of each disk.
Spread it until it touches the rim.
9. Carefully slide the parchment paper with the bi-
alys onto the hot surface in the oven. Bake the bialys
for 13 to 16 minutes, or until the rounds are pale tan.
10. Transfer the bialys on the paper to a wire rack for
5 minutes. Cover with a clean kitchen towel so they
steam a little and stay soft. Eat as soon as they are
just warm, or room temperature, or store in a cov-
ered container and eat within 1 day.

Home-Cured Lox (Cured Salmon)
Serves 6
Ideally, to make lox (cured salmon), you need salmon
belly, writes Cathy Barrow in “Bagels, Schmears, and a
Nice Piece of Fish,” “but I’ll cure any part of the salmon
I'm given. If it’s a thinner tail end, I simply plan for less
time to achieve the silky, firm joy that is lox. Lox is nev-
er smoked, only cured in a simple mixture of salt and
sugar.” Allow three days for the salmon to cure, though
it may only take two. It will keep for a week in the fridge
and three months in the freezer (freeze already sliced,
in small portions). The slices should be so thin, writes
Barrow, “You should be able to read the newspaper
through the slice, according to my grandfather, Allan.”
Stir trimmings into scrambled eggs.
1 pound skin-on, center-cut boneless salmon
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup kosher salt
1. Place an 18-inch sheet of foil on the counter and cov-
er it with a sheet of plastic wrap about the same size.
Set the salmon skin-side down on the wrap. Use fingers
to inspect the fish for pin bones and remove them with
tweezers.
2. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and salt. Press the
mixture into the flesh side of the salmon. Use the wrap
to snugly enclose the fillet, then double wrap with foil.
3. Place the packet in a shallow glass or ceramic dish.
Place another dish on top of the packet and add cans of
tomatoes or jars of pickles to weight it down. After 24
hours, tip out any juices that accumulate in the dish.
Turn the fish and add the top dish and weights. Refrig-
erate for 24 hours more. (Total time so far: 48 hours;
the fish may not be done curing.)
4. Unwrap the fish and check it; it should be firm all the
way through. Press with your fingertips to check the
thickest part of the fish to see if the texture has changed
from tender to firm, raw to cured. There should be
some resistance and the color will deepen. If it seems to
need more time, rewrap, turn over, and replace the dish
and weights. Check again in 12 hours, and again 12
hours later, if needed. The fish will never take more
than 72 hours to cure. The fish should be firm and
deeply pink.
5. Unwrap the fish and rinse under cold water to re-
move the salt-sugar mixture. Pat dry with paper towels.
Slice very thinly on an angle. You should be able to read
a newspaper through the slices. Arrange overlapping on
a platter. Sheryl Julian. Adapted from “Bagels,
Schmears, and a Nice Piece of Fish”

She keeps things hopping at High Street Place
By Kara Baskin
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT
Newburyport Brewing Co.
gets an all-female spinoff, Ale-
wives, at downtown food hall
High Street Place thanks to
Allison Fisher and Crystal
Rimoczy. Their husbands, Bill
Fisher and Chris Webb, run
the original North Shore
brewery. The duo met as part
of a seven-piece funk band,
Das Pintos, where Bill played
trumpet and Chris was the
lead singer. Alewives was a
pandemic pivot, featuring a
handful of Newburyport orig-
inals and other local favorites.
When Fisher isn’t pouring
beer with Rimoczy, she’s run-
ning 10Ks (she has a master’s
degree in exercise physiology)
and caring for three teenagers
in Newburyport.
How did Alewives come into
existence?
So, it was originally branded
to be Newbur ypor t Tasting
Room. But, as you know, the

COVID. There were many uncer-
tainties around opening and lots
of moving parts. So, during that
time, we really kind of sat down
as families and thought about
what would work best for us. We
thought about how Crystal and I
could make this our own and
make a brand that reflected us.
We started to think: The boys
are having so much fun with the
brewery, and we could do our
own thing here at High Street
Place.
Did you meet your husband
through a love of beer, or is it
something that you grew to like
as a couple?

just what you would think of: a
dark brew pub, kind of an older
building, and they had local beer
— some Ithaca breweries. I real-
ly found that I liked hoppy IPAs,
real flavorful beers. It just was a
coincidence when I met my hus-
band, and he was a giant beer
lover. He had studied in Belgium
during college and really became
a lover of craft beer. He contin-
ued to introduce me to more
craft beers. When I moved back
to Boston, we used to go to Pad-
dy Burke’s and drink Guinness,
and he would always have me
trying different things.
What’s your niche at Ale-
wives?
We offer a wide variety of
beer. We have 12 draft lines, and
five of those are dedicated to
Newburyport beers, because
those are our favorites. We have
five other options as well. We

until they lose their liquid. Turn the
heat to medium-high and cook, stir-

the flour into the mushrooms and
cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
6. Stir the tomatoes, stock, and wine
into the pan and cook, scraping the
bottom of the pan, until the mixture
comes to a boil.
7. Return the bacon and chicken to
the pan with any juices that accumu-
lated in the bowl. Add the thyme
sprigs and bring to a boil. Lower the
heat and simmer gently for 30 min-
utes, or until the chicken is cooked
through and a meat thermometer
inserted into the thickest part of the
pieces (not the bone) registers 165
degrees.
8. Lift out and discard the thyme
sprigs from the pan. Taste the sauce
for seasoning and add more salt and
pepper, if you like. Use scissors to

parsley. Divide the mixture among 4

What it’s like to run a stall at
a food hall in the current cli-

Who’s coming in, and what’s
your sense about the future of

That was one of the uncer-

and the bar itself opening. We
really weren’t sure, because the
city is still kind of opening back
up, and the occupancy rate with-
in the building is actually still
pretty low. But, you know, peo-
ple are coming out, and it’s just
Throughout the endless
pandemic, home cooks decided
to teach themselves dishes they
might not otherwise have had
time for. Some were wildly am-
bitious, as a scroll through any
social media will tell you. But if
those cooks made a list of tech-
niques that are essential to
learn, and ticked them off one
by one, they would certainly
have mastered a simple chick-
en saute. The most famous is a
classic coq au vin, a very old
French dish in which a tough
bird simmered in wine with
small onions, lardons of bacon,
and mushrooms until the meat
was finally tender.
My weekly coq au vin is a
pared down version, beginning
with chicken parts (take your
pick: thighs, drumsticks, or
split breasts), a chopped onion
instead of small ones, which
are a nuisance to peel, chopped
fire-roasted canned tomatoes,
sliced mushrooms, and both
chicken stock and wine, red or
white. Everything goes into the
pan in stages, so bacon renders
first, chicken is browned in the
bacon fat, and you always have
a few minutes while elements
are in the saute pan to line up
the remaining ingredients.
Typically I insist on an orga-
nized mise en place (every-
thing in its place), but on coq
au vin nights, I'm prepping as I
go because the dish is so forgiv-
ing. So is the cooking time. Coq
au vin meat should be falling
off the bone. The best ones I've
had in France were near the
end of service in a cafe that has
left the dish on a back burner
most of the evening. By the
time I order it, the sauce is a
little concentrated and the
meat is spoon tender and the
onions have practically melted.
It tastes like centuries of cooks
have been perfecting the dish.
They have.

So people are excited to come

and we chose that because it’s
notoriously a beer that pairs re-

very light-finishing. It’s not too
overpowering. It’s a little bit
higher alcohol, but it will pair re-
ally well with more robust food
offerings, like a chicken sand-
wich from Haley Jane’s or maybe
a burger at Wheelhouse. I just
spoke with Abby over at Wheel-

something with wings for the

the straight-up garlic variety never disappoints, and it is espe-

And no Shanti takeout meal is complete without their
sauces, which add so much to that meal and beyond: The
mixed pickle is different and delicious, but the first container
to empty at our table is always mint chutney. We’ve used the
remnants in these little plastic containers to spice up our own
meals, such as regular rice and beans.
It’s worth noting that Shanti recently announced they
would add a 4 percent “kitchen appreciation fee” to boost the
back-of-the-house staff — an increasingly common addition
to the tab at many restaurants in Jamaica Plain or Roslindale.
And keep an eye out for their specials, which are more like cu-

Vegetable and Bean Stew
Serves 6
A thick, warming stew is a satisfying winter
supper. This one is filled with vegetables and
just enough fresh sausage to flavor the pot.
Cut up carrots, bell pepper, turnip, and cele-
riac (celery root), or use whatever vegetables
you prefer. Near the end of simmering, add
white beans — some whole and some
mashed — but you can do the same thing
with chickpeas or pinto beans. Make sure
the stew is well seasoned, hot, and thick (it’s
not a soup), and cooked just enough so the
vegetables are tender but not mushy. The
mashed beans help thicken the liquid and
give it a long-simmered taste. Sprinkle bowls
with olive oil and serve with Parmesan and
crusty bread.
2½ tablespoons olive oil
½ pound fresh pork or chicken sausage,
removed from the casings
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 red or yellow bell pepper, halved,
cored, seeded, and cut into 1-inch
pieces
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch slices
1 medium turnip, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium celeriac, cut into 1-inch piec-
es
Few sprigs fresh thyme
ƒ teaspoon crushed red pepper, or more
to taste
1 can (28 ounces) whole peeled toma-
toes
3 cups chicken or vegetable stock, or
more to taste
2 cans (15 ounces each) white beans,
drained
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
1. In a soup pot over medium heat, heat
1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the sausage
and cook, stirring and breaking it into
small clumps with the edge of a large
spoon, for 6 minutes, or until browned.
Transfer the sausage to a plate.
2. Add the remaining 1½ tablespoons oil
to the pot. Add the onion, bell pepper,
and generous pinch each of salt and
black pepper. Cook, stirring often, for 8
minutes, or until they soften. Stir in the
carrots, turnip, celeriac, thyme sprigs,
and crushed red pepper. Cook, stirring
occasionally, for 5 minutes.
3. Add the tomatoes, breaking them up
with the edge of the spoon. Add the 3
cups of stock. Bring to a boil, lower the
heat, and cover the pan. Simmer for 25
minutes, or until the vegetables are ten-
der. If the stew seems too thick, add
more stock, ½ cup at a time, to make it
the consistency you prefer.
4. Meanwhile, place 1 cup of beans on a
plate. Mash with a potato masher or
fork.
5. Remove the thyme sprigs from the
pot. Stir the mashed beans into the stew.
Add the remaining whole beans and re-
turn the sausage to the pot. Cook, stir-
ring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until
the stew is slightly thickened and hot.
Stir in the parsley. Taste for seasoning
and add more salt and red pepper, if you
like.
6. Ladle the stew into bowls and sprinkle
with olive oil. Serve with Parmesan and
crusty bread.

SHAKING SEAFOOD, Roslindale
Sometimes it takes an outsider to introduce you to the cu-
linary delights in your own backyard.
When my niece from Arkansas was here over the holidays,
she asked if we could have a seafood boil for New Year’s Eve,
and a little Googling led us to Shaking Seafood in Roslindale.
Suddenly, our takeout world got a lot more exciting. This New
Orleans-style boil is nothing like the corned beef and cabbage
variety of New England. This is Cajun food, with crawfish,
crab, mussels, or almost any type of shellfish you desire
doused in garlicky, buttery, salty, Old Bay-y goodness, cooked
with corn on the cob and potatoes, and delivered in a big plas-
tic bag.
It’s not glamorous, but it’s gooood.
So who’s making Cajun food in Boston? A Chinese family,
it turns out — one that fell in love with Cajun food after mov-
ing to the United States and applied it to their seafood exper-
tise. They live in Boston and Philadelphia, and operate Shak-
ing Seafood restaurants in both cities.
For New Year’s, we got a combo of snow crab legs and
shrimp with sausages and boiled eggs, all drenched in Shak-
ing Sauce, which combines all the sauce offerings: Cajun, gar-
lic butter, and lemon pepper. I can’t imagine having to pick
just one. We were skeptical of the eggs, but my niece insisted,
and we were won over after just one bite. They’re soft and
creamy and absorb just the right amount of that addictive
sauce. We dumped everything in one big bowl, cooked up a
pot of rice, and chowed down. This is a messy, eat-with-your-
fingers affair, though we largely ignored the bibs, plastic
gloves, and wet naps in our takeout bag.
When we ordered again recently, we treated ourselves to a
lobster and shrimp combo, again with sausages, and extra
eggs this time, along with corn, potatoes, and broccoli. The
broccoli seemed like a healthy addition at the time, although
it was swimming in so much sauce it hardly seemed like a veg-
etable — and we didn’t mind at all. Our 6-year-old went for
the eggs immediately, but thankfully she wasn’t interested in
the sweet, meaty lobster.
A seafood boil is a great celebration meal, provided every-
one likes Old Bay and doesn’t mind getting a little messy. The
restaurant doesn’t deliver to us, so we went through Grub-
hub, which meant not only higher prices but a limited menu.
Someday I’ll get to try the frozen mango smoothie and limon-
cello cake. But for now I’m content to turn the leftovers into a
tremendous shrimp po’boy lunch — another perk of our fleet-
ing work-from-home world.

Takeout from Shaking Seafood (top) and Steel & Rye.
STEEL & RYE, Milton
A seemingly long, long time ago, my husband and I ven-
tured south from Cambridge to the wilds of the Dorchester/
Milton border to try a new restaurant we’d heard raves about:
Steel & Rye. I wandered into the retrofitted ambulance ga-
rage, ordered the bucatini, and have been raving about the
place myself ever since.
Flash forward seven years, and Steel & Rye is now one of
my neighborhood restaurants, but it still feels special, per-
haps even moreso now as the pandemic pushes on into its
third year. In the warmer months, I’ve lingered for hours out
on the patios co-owners Dan Kerrigan and Bill Scannell have
expanded out into the parking lot. But when the temperature
drops and I feel like staying in, I’m happy to go ham on their
take-out menu, knowing it will feed me for days.
That’s thanks in part to the fact that in the spring of 2020,
Kerrigan and Scannell made the brilliant move to open a bak-
ery and cafe inside the restaurant, which for me means that
any takeout order also involves a loaf of crusty lemon, rose-
mary, and garlic flecked sourdough. And probably some pizza
dough, too.
But I’m hard-pressed to try and recreate what they’ve mas-
tered. Their margarita pies have a perfectly charred thin
crust, and are spiked with garlic and a tomato sauce so sweet
it feels like dessert. My kids devour it instantly, so I’m lucky if
I get a bite.
Luckily, the pizza serves to distract them from our grown-
up fare. I still go weak in the knees for their pastas, so for me
it’s the crave-worthy lobster cavatelli, blanketed in bread-
crumbs and with chunks of lobster mingled throughout. My
husband caves whenever gnocchi is on the menu, so he ducks
into the pillowy potato dumplings luxuriating in Bolognese
and mingling with swiss chard. The Caesar salad we ordered
to be “healthy” comes with a perfectly sunny soft-boiled egg,
and is studded with thick parmesan shavings. Delicious, all of
it.
Did I mention the chips? The thick-cut, salty potato slices
are so good we always order two bags, with the pimento
cheese dip, of course. And part of the fun of getting Steel &
Rye takeout is also tacking on something surprising for the
rest of the week. Maybe it’s a six-pack of ginger molasses cook-
ies, a bottle of Vietnamese cold brew coffee or pre-mixed Ne-
gronis, or a container of house-made lemon bucatini.
I can only hope to draw some of the same raves at home.

wide variety of fancy cheeses,
but they also carry their own
mainstream store brands. I
stocked up on a large bag of MB-
brand shaved parmesan ($4.99)
for lasagna, a four-cheese Mexi-
can blend ($3.99) for taco night,
and a 16-pack of mozzarella
string cheese ($3.99) for school
lunches. Do I feel like I’m tour-
ing the Italian countryside when
snapping into one of ’em? Nope.
Are they milky, flavorful, and
mild enough to keep my kids
happy? M-hmm.
Cola: MB’s endless cola aisle
is something to behold, a portal
to a Reagan-era netherworld of
fluorescent carbonated beverag-
es. I was instantly transported to
my Nana’s fridge, stocked with
bright orange DeMoulas tonic.
Get the 99-cent bottle of Chelms-
ford golden ginger ale, which
tastes like flat, amber molasses
(ingredients: caramel and corn
syrup). A hit with young chil-
dren or hungover adults. Also
worth a nod: crème soda, butter
set to a symphony of bubbles.
Doughnuts: Dunkin’ might
be the signature New England
doughnut brand, but I’d argue
that Market Basket is the better
value. First, their 79-cent dough-
nuts are bigger and taste better
than their rivals. Dunkin’ tends
to specialize in yeasty, frosty
UFOs riddled with air pockets.

Had for Dinner” thread, a diary
of Leff’s meals, could be consid-
ered the first food blog. Leff, a
jazz trombonist and writer, was
the site’s spiritual leader, re-
ferred to as Alpha Dog. His writ-
ing — itself a series of jazzy riffs
bubbling with ideas, a reflection
of a busy, big-picture thinker
with an inexhaustible appetite
and a sense of humor — helped
popularize food finds such as
SriPraPhai, a now-renowned
Thai restaurant in Queens; Di
Fara Pizza, a Brooklyn haven for
pie snobs (when founder Do-
menico DeMarco died last week,
he was saluted by all of New
York media); and the Arepa La-
dy, Maria Piedad Cano, who sold
her Colombian corn cakes from
a street cart (now a brick-and-
mortar run by her family). Much
the way Pulitzer Prize-winning
restaurant critic Jonathan Gold
did in LA, Leff boosted the pro-
files of small, immigrant-owned
businesses, helping ensure their
success. He also invited every-
one else to join him, spreading
the Chowhound ethos and shin-
ing its spotlight on the whole
country and beyond.
“It was a very, very different
world for a food geek looking to
find fellow travelers, obsessives
who would spend an inordinate
chunk of their disposable in-
come dining out,” says MC Slim
JB, a restaurant critic whose
writing has appeared at Bos-
ton.com, Boston Magazine, the
Boston Phoenix, and other local
outlets. That nom de plume? It’s
his Chowhound username. The
website is how he got started as
a professional food writer: Edi-
tors at DigBoston and Stuff Mag-
azine who frequented the Bos-
ton board read his prolific posts
and asked him to contribute.
Chowhound was Yelp before
Yelp, but crowd-sourced from
people who were deeply knowl-
edgeable about food. It was also
an inexhaustible, flexible digital
cookbook that came with its
own vast support team, ready to
offer culinary advice.
“Nobody can know every-
thing about everything, so it was
great to find someone like [user]
Galangatron, who had great
depth of knowledge about
Southeast Asian cuisine and had
haunted all these Southeast
Asian places in Lowell, or people
who had deep expertise because
they grew up in a Taiwanese
American household,” MC Slim
JB says. “I could claim a certain
connoisseurship of Coney Island

to-carb ratio. Second, the lines at
Market’s Café — where you can
buy said doughnuts before navi-
gating the store — are never
long. Thirdly, there’s the home-
spun customer service: On a re-
cent visit, I discovered a taped-
up note attached to the bakery
case, apologizing for a jelly
doughnut shortage: “We are so
sorr y. S om e of our beloved
doughnuts are out of stock.”
Won’t find that at the drive-thru,

when I was a kid. It was this
very joy-driven kind of experi-
ence. The pre-Internet aspect of
it meant it was a much more civ-
il kind of place.”
The usernames were part of
Chowhound’s beauty: You could
be talking about burgers or
banh mi with a magazine editor,
schoolteacher, molecular biolo-
gist, chef, radio DJ, or politician,
but you wouldn’t know it. You’d
simply know it was Allstonian,
hotoynoodle, Joanie, Limster,
Nab, or any of the score of
names that became familiar to
posters (and lurkers, myself
among them) over the years.
Last week, I was talking about
Chowhound’s demise with a
food writer friend when he casu-
ally dropped his username: No
way! That was you?
‘It was a very, very
different world for
a food geek
looking to find
fellow travelers.’
MC SLIM JB, restaurant
critic who got started as a
food writer on Chowhound
The online conversations
turned into IRL meetups, too:
dim sum feasts, taco crawls, Pe-
king duck extravaganzas —
meals eaten in mom-and-pops
all over the city. Angela’s Cafe,
Chacarero, King Fung Garden
(whose co-owner Doris Huang
took her Chowhound-famous
duck with her to China King),
Peach Farm, Strip-T’s, Taqueria
Jalisco … all were ballyhooed on
the board.
“Taiwan Cafe I feel like I first
found out about on Chow-
hound. That became one of my
favorite restaurants. I still like
going there when I go to Bos-
ton,” says David Pistrang, a.k.a.
Dave MP, who came to the web-
site when he was a student at
Tufts, after his grandparents
sent him a 2001 article Calvin
Trillin wrote about it in The New
Yorker. “Everywhere I ate, prac-
tically, after 2001 was a place I
found out about on Chow-
hound.” He started going to
meetups in Boston, and contin-
ued when he relocated to the
Bay Area, where he’s now an ele-
mentary school math specialist.
When he spent time in London,
he met up with former Boston
hound Limster, who recom-
mended one of Pistrang’s favor-
ite restaurants there. He attend-

dollars. I’m partial to a half Ital-
ian sub, an absolute steal at
$3.99. It’s stacked with capicola;
mortadella; cooked ham; Genoa
salami; your choice of cheese (I
go for provolone); and toppings
galore: chopped tomatoes, on-
ions, and pickles; olives; shred-
ded lettuce (the real kind, as in:

he made through Chowhound.
He even worked for the website
for a fe w years, and posted
about the first date he went on
with his now-husband.
“It’s had a major impact on

unique about it, and why I’m
sad about it going away, is that it
has really knowledgeable people
who can answer really specific
questions and come up with
ideas. It’s still not really possible
to do that through Yelp or any
other site. These were people
who were so passionate and so
excited to share what they liked.
On the Home Cooking board,
you’d post a random cooking
question, and people would
come up with ideas and a lot of
strong opinions.”
There are some alternatives
out there, like eGullet Forums,
Food Talk Central, and Hungry
Onion. But they don’t have the
traffic that Chowhound saw at
its peak. At the time of the rede-
sign, according to a 2015 Globe
story, it had 10.2 million unique
users per month, versus 7.8 mil-
lion for Eater.com, and was still
growing at a good clip.
Former Chowhound user
Sampson Shen started the not-
for-profit Hungry Onion in re-
sponse to the redesign. It has
seen an influx of users since the
announcement of Chowhound’s
closure. “I went into Chow-
hound looking for that in-depth
knowledge. That’s what I think
we’ll miss about Chowhound,”
he says. “There isn’t really a
great successor to replace it. I
would like Hungry Onion to be
that, but obviously it’s not oper-
ating on the same scale as dur-
ing Chowhound’s golden age. At
the same time, I don’t know if I
really want it to be as big.” It’s a
hobby, after all, a labor of love,
run by a group of about 10 vol-
unteers.
But the Chowhound spirit is
far from dead, even as the web-
site fades away. As that artifact
of the early food Internet, it
bridged the print and online
eras, shepherding in the transi-
tion from fine dining to a more
populist notion of what restau-
rant-going could and should be
— what we wanted it to be.
What we wanted, and want, it to
be has been shaped by Chow-
hound’s boards, frequented by
so many in its heyday, including
the food writers who would in-
fluence the food writers and on-
line influencers of today: They
were all on Chowhound. When
we talk about cultural appropri-
ation, we are continuing an old
Chowhound conversation about
G l o b e
iceberg); banana-pepper ring-
lets; hot relish spread; streams
of oil; vinegar; and a generous
coating of mayonnaise slapped
onto both sides of a sub roll, if
you’re into it. No one will look
askance, and nobody’s going to
charge you extra for your favor-
ite add-on. It is a salty, meaty
condiment bomb worthy of a
knife and fork.
But subs are only part of the
equation here. My husband and
kids like the honey-coated chick-
en wings, gloriously craggy and
crisp (and about $1 each), best
swiped through a generous pud-
dle of sweet butternut squash —
available as a side or on its own
for $4.99 per pound. The other
sleeper hit? Grilled cheese and
tomato on buttery white bread
for $2.99, with a melt-to-crunch
ratio that would put any diner to
shame.
You heard it here first: If
Market Basket opened a restau-
“authenticity.” When restaurant
critics laud Chinese noodle
joints or pho pop-ups or road-
side taquerias, they are doing so
because Chowhound helped
blaze a trail of viability for these
establishments.
And we eat at them with joy,
because we are all Chowhounds
now, in pursuit of optimal deli-
ciousness.

TV CRITIC’S CORNER ASK AMY

BY MATTHEW GILBERT

‘Best of ’ column concerns adoption

Dear Readers: Every year I step away
from my column for two weeks to work on
other creative projects. (Anyone interested
in my personal essays and photographs can
subscribe to my free newsletter: amydickin-
son.substack.com). I’ll be back next week.
Today’s “Best of ” column, from 10 years
ago, is about adoption, and the potential
fallout from keeping adoption a secret.
Q. I am a 16-year-old girl. I have a 13-year-
old biological brother, “Paul,” and a 10-year-
old adopted sister, “Natty.”
My parents have never told Natty she’s
adopted. She resembles our family, so I
don’t think she suspects anything. Howev-
er, she’s recently started asking questions
about her birth, and my mom has made up
elaborate lies to cover up the fact of her

old enough. Paul and I think she deserves to

to focus more on motherhood than writing. At one point, she goes to
get birth control, and the doctor says to her, “There’s no better medi-
cine for a woman than pregnancy.”
I’ve liked Margherita Mazzucco as Elena all along. She has played
the lead as interior and shy — but with intelligent, watchful eyes un-
able to hide her true feelings. She keeps moving further away from
her origins — her poor neighborhood and her brusque mother — but Recent sightings (through March 15) as

another family member will tell your sister
the truth, and this would turn a wonderful
story into a confusing and traumatic event
for everyone.
I assume that because of the difference
in your ages, you have your own quite dis-
tinct memories of your sister’s adoption in-
to the family.
You should tell your mother that you will
never lie about this and that if asked you
will tell the truth. You don’t mention your
father, but he would be the obvious choice
to help you advocate for the truth.
A book that would provide inspiration to
your parents is “Talking with Young Chil-
dren about Adoption,” by Mary Watkins
and Dr. Susan Fisher (1995, Yale University
Press). This book not only suggests ways to
have this talk, but also anticipates the many
questions that children frequently ask.
(June 2012)
Q. I disagree with your advice to “Distressed
Sister.” Adoption is between the parents
and the child. Everybody else should stay
out of it.
This sister should be told, “If you ever
adopt a child, you can handle it the way you
like.”
ALSO DISTRESSED
A. Adoption is not only between the parents
and the child. Keeping this a secret affects
the entire family system.
Adoption can be a painful and emotion-
al subject for parents, in part because they
cannot imagine that the child they chose to
join their family wasn’t always in their fam-
ily. They also worry about any future com-
plications regarding the child’s curiosity
about — or contact with — biological rela-

Hole, a rough-legged hawk and 4 Eastern
meadowlarks in Falmouth, 2 blue-winged
teal in Sandwich, a brown thrasher in
tives. (July 2012)
Q. “Distressed Sister” was a 16-year-old sis-
ter of an adopted sibling whose mother re-
quired her to keep the adoption a secret. It
makes me cringe to think of what that child
has missed.
My son has known of his adoption since
he was old enough to understand the con-
cept.
This is what he understands: He was
chosen; he has two birthdays (he brings
cupcakes to school on his birthday and
cookies on his “gotcha day”); he didn’t have
to get stuck with my short, nonathletic
genes; he gets to celebrate both Mother’s
Day and Birth Mother’s Day (the day before
Mother’s Day); and he’s loved within an
inch of his life by not only his adoptive fam-
ily, but by his birth mother and her family.
He also benefits hugely by a positive re-
lationship between our two families.
Being adopted is nothing to be ashamed
of! It’s something to be celebrated.
JOSEPH’S MOM
A. Not all adoptees have access to their birth
family the way your son does, but all adopt-
ees should be told the truth about their lives
— starting in an age-appropriate way when
they are very young.
This subject will come up in various con-
texts throughout a child’s life, whether or
not the child chooses to raise it. Parents
(and other relatives) should always convey
that they are open and honest, even when
the subject is painful to discuss. (July 2012)
