Biogen conference tied to 20,000 virus cases

Researchers find impact was much greater than previously suspected sound.

an international meeting of bio-
gen leaders at a boston hotel in febru-
ary led to roughly 20,000 cases of
covid-19 in four massachusetts
counties by early may, far more than
the 99 previously identified, accord-
ing to three scientists involved in a
new study.
after examining nearly all the con-
firmed early cases of the illness in the
area by changes in the genetic make-
up of coronaviruses as they pass from
one person to another, the researchers
were able to assess the broader im-
pact of the “super-spreading event” at
the marriott long wharf hotel.

era,’ officials say
new york times
strained by hundreds of
fires that have burned through
more than 1.4 million acres,
california fire officials are
warning that the state is now
living through a “megafire era”
in which blazes burn for weeks
across vast expanses of land.
there are currently 625
blazes burning across the state,
and they have scorched an area
larger than the state of dela-
ware. seven deaths have been
linked to the fires, and more
than 1,000 homes and other
bui ldin gs have go ne u p in
flames, many of which were
consumed by two groups of
fires in northern california —
the scu lightning complex
and the lnu lightning com-
plex — that are the second-larg-
est and third-largest ever in the
state.
“we are essentially living in
a megafire era,” said chief Jake
hess of the santa clara unit of
cal Fire, california’s fire agen-
cy. “we have folks who have
been working for cal Fire for
the last five years, and that’s all
they understand — megafires
— since they started.”
“these significant incidents
have been outpacing them-
selves every year,” he added.
governor gavin newsom
said the state had “deployed ev-
ery resource at our disposal”
and had called for help from
firefighters in other states to
battle an extraordinary combi-
nation of active fires, many of
which began after a period of
nearly 12,000 lightning strikes
just over a week ago. at this
time last year, only 56,000
acres had burned across the
state, roughly 4 percent of what
has been torched so far this
year.
the largest group of fires,
the scu lightning complex,
grew to 363,772 acres and

counties east of silicon valley.
it was 15 percent contained as

zation for convalescent plasma,

tibodies.
trump hailed the decision as
a historic breakthrough even
though the treatment’s value
has not been established. the
announcement on the eve of
trump’s republican national
convention raised suspicions
that it was politically motivated
to offset critics of the presi-
dent’s handling of the pandem-
ic.
hahn had echoed trump in
saying that 35 more people out
of 100 would survive the coro-
navirus if they were treated
with the plasma. that claim
vastly overstated preliminary
findings of mayo clinic obser-
spectors can survey more
charred neighborhoods. Fire-
fighters have slowly made
headway against the fire, and it
is now 27 percent contained.
in santa cruz and san ma-
teo counties, the cZu light-
ning complex has destroyed at
least 330 buildings and burned
about 78,869 acres. more than
25,000 structures are threat-
ened by the fire, but relatively
calm and cool weather allowed
firefighters to make progress
battling it over the weekend,
and it is now 17 percent con-
tained. chief deputy chris
clark of the santa cruz county
sheriff’s office said seven peo-
ple had been reported missing,
including se veral in areas
where the fire had burned.
hess said that battling hun-
dreds of fires at once meant
fewer resources for each fire
and that residents would need
to be patient as firefighters
slowly chipped away at the
blazes.
“this is going to be a mara-
thon that we’re on,” he said.
Fire season is in full effect
across the west, with fires
burning in a dozen states lead-
ing to evacuations and un-
healthy air.
not only are states like mon-
tana, idaho, and colorado deal-
ing with fires of their own, but
their skies have also filled with
smoke that has drifted over
from california.
in colorado, four major fires
have burned nearly 200,000
acres, and poor air quality in
denver has led health officials
to advise people to stay indoors
and limit driving to reduce air
pollution. an air quality alert is
in place through tuesday after-
noon.
the largest fire currently
burning in the state, called the
pine gulch Fire, was sparked
July 31 by lightning. the other
three major fires in the state
were also ignited by lightning
around the same time. the
pine gulch Fire has grown into
the second largest in the state’s
recorded history, at 134,999
acres as of tuesday morning.
Fire crews have made good
progress on the pine gulch

Facing 2nd COVID wave, Spain tracks infections with soldiers

madrid — under strain
from europe’s fastest-growing
wave of coronavirus infections,
the spanish government
cleared the way for more local-
ized lockdowns tuesday and
deployed the military to bolster
the country’s faltering attempts
to trace infections.
with more than 400,000
confirmed cases since the onset
of the epidemic and dozens of
fresh daily clusters only days
before the school year begins,
spain is grappling to slow the
uncontrolled transmission of
the virus. at least 28,872 people
in the country have died with
covid-19 since february, al-
though the figure doesn’t in-
clude many who died without
being tested for the virus.
prime minister pedro sán-
chez said tuesday following the
first cabinet meeting after the
summer recess that spain’s cur-
rent infection rate is “preoccu-
pying” but “far from the situa-
tion in mid-march,’’ when his
government imposed a state of
emergency and a nationwide
lockdown.
“there should be no fear
that paralyzes us and prevents
us from acting,” the socialist
leader said in a televised state-
ment . “ what ’s needed is a
stronger response to the
threat.”
sánchez offered officials
running the country’s 17 re-
gions 2,000 soldiers trained in
contact tracing, which special-
ists have identified as one of the
country’s weakest points in the
aftermath of the pandemic’s
first wave.
he also pledged to declare
regional emergency orders if vi-
rus continues spreading, some-
thing that should in theory help
regional officials issue new stay-
at-home orders, restrict mobili-
ty, or to curtail other activities.

China locks down Xinjiang
region, angering residents
the chinese government in
recent weeks has imposed a
sweeping lockdown across the
Xinjiang region in western chi-
na, penning in millions of peo-
ple as part of what officials de-
scribe as an effort to fight a re-
surgence of the coronavirus.
but with the outbreak in
Xinjiang seemingly under con-
trol and the restrictions still in
place more than a month after
the outbreak there began, many
residents are lashing out and
accusing the government of act-
ing too harshly.
the mounting anger poses a
challenge for the ruling com-
munist party. with the virus un-
der control across most of the
country and life starting to look
relatively normal in many cit-
ies, the party is trying to project
an image of harmony and to
tout its approach to fighting the
virus as a model for the world.
the lockdown, which ac-
cording to government notices
has affected at least 4 million
people, has revived concerns
about human rights abuses in
Xinjiang. the chinese govern-
ment has spent years perfecting
a system of mass surveillance
and control in Xinjiang and has
long imposed draconian social
rules on the region’s largely
muslim ethnic minority groups,
who make up about half the
population of 25 million.
chinese officials have not
provided detailed information
about the restrictions, their
scope, or rationale. at least
three cities have been affected,
according to official notices, but
the lockdown is likely more ex-
tensive. in recent weeks, resi-
dents in at least nine jurisdic-
tions, covering a population of
more than 10 million, have
made reference to being under
lockdown, according to a re-
view of posts on weibo and oth-
er websites. Xinjiang officials
did not respond to a request for
comment tuesday.

No union pressure, but charter schools still will go remote

things will probably get worse
when college students come
back.”
scott added there were no
good options for reopening
school this fall — education
can’t exist the way it did before
march as long as the pandemic
is around — but she added
schools have a great opportuni-
ty to reinvent education, and
the best first step is to create a
robust virtual schooling experi-
ence for students and teachers.
several boston charter
schools are planning to imple-
ment what they call “remote-
plus,” in which they intend to
reopen some classrooms to
serve high-needs students. all
are planning to give students
learning remotely assignments
they can do offline, such as
hands-on projects or communi-
ty service.
the charters are also stress-
ing the need to provide stu-
dents time for healing. a few,
like neighborhood house, are
working to bring students back
for outdoor activities — masks
on and socially distant — so
they can build stronger rela-
tionships with their new class-
mates and teachers and have a
safe place to talk through is-
sues.
conservatory lab charter
school in dorchester is plan-
ning a two-week in-person ori-
entation, before switching over
to remote learning, so students
can pick up musical instru-
ments, learn the technology
platforms they will be using,
and create bonds with one an-
other.
some charter schools also
needed time before opening
classrooms to figure out trans-
portation. typically, the boston
public schools provide buses,
but with physical distancing,
it’s unclear if the district will
have enough buses or when
they might be available.
going remote was a difficult
decision for charter leaders,
who are keenly aware of the
harm prolonged school closures
could cause their students, aca-
demically and emotionally. bos-
ton charters overwhelmingly
enroll students who are black
or latino, many of whom live in
poverty, and the pandemic is
threatening to widen achieve-
ment gaps between them and
their asian and white peers.
but concern over safety in
the age of the coronavirus also
runs high in many of their stu-
dents’ neighborhoods and com-
munities. covid-19 has dis-
proportionately impacted peo-
ple of color, and many charter
students live in neighborhoods
with high rates of residents test-
ing positive for the virus, such
as east boston, dorchester,
roxbury, and mattapan.
meanwhile, many students
are still grappling with the fall-
out from the police killings of
breonna taylor, george floyd,
and others, while they also feel
growing urgency to combat rac-
ism — making in-person
schooling an ideal place to tack-
le both as a community.
arianna constant-patton, an
incoming senior at boston col-
legiate charter school in dor-
chester, embodies many of the
conflicting feelings students
have about returning to class-
rooms amid the twin pandem-
ics of coronavirus and racism.
“i feel like i’m treading wa-
ter in the middle of a river and i
can’t see the waterfall in front
of me,” she said. “it’s not good.”
she said she is frustrated
that classrooms won’t be re-
opening. she’s nervous about
navigating the final stages of
applying for college from home
— a process already disrupted
by the cancellation of sats and

campus tours — and how on-
line schooling will affect the
qu ality of her class es, her
grades, and her patience, given
they will have a full day of
Zoom classes.
yet the idea of returning to
classrooms makes her uncom-
fortable, because she lives with
her grandmother and doesn’t
want to contract covid-19 and
transmit it to her. she also ques-
tions whether she could toler-
ate wearing a mask all day in
school and how it would im-
pede class discussions, especial-
l y w h e n e ve r y o n e i s 6 f e e t
apart.
knowing the high stakes for
their students, charter schools
finalized their reopening plans
earlier this month and at the
end of July so they could refo-
cus their energies on getting in-
struction humming by opening
day.
charters also are using this
time to prepare for the eventual
return of students to class-
rooms part time, hopefully
sometime this fall, an effort
that requires safety modifica-
tions to facilities, more adjust-
ments to teaching, and poten-
tially securing alternative trans-
portation.
“ we w a n t t o m a k e s u r e
teachers have the time to devel-
op the lessons they are going to
deliver in a virtual world that
will be inspiring to kids,” said
shanna varón, executive direc-
tor at boston collegiate, stress-
ing she doesn’t want students
sitting in front of computers all
day.
some city councilors, like
andrea campbell and michelle
wu, had urged the boston pub-
lic schools to wrap up their re-
opening plans early so they
could focus on implementation.
but instead mayor martin J.
walsh and school officials, who
craig f. walker/globe staff
want to reopen classrooms,
spent much of august engaged
in a public battle with the bos-
ton teachers union, which
pushed for a remote start.
on friday, city leaders an-
nounced at a city hall press
conference that schools would
begin remotely.
across the city on friday, the
independently run boston pre-
paratory charter school in
hyde park was immersed in
preparing for the new year.
staff were programming stu-
dent laptops, teachers were in-
ventorying science equipment,
and construction workers were
tearing down walls to create
“supersize” classrooms for so-
cial distancing.
“what we are continuing to
work on with our community is
increasing the comfort to open
in a hybrid manner,” said sha-
ron liszanckie, the school’s ex-
ecutive director.
liszanckie said she hopes to
bring students back to class-
rooms a few weeks into the
school year. until then, the
school will go strong with re-
mote learning, she said. stu-
dents will take six Zoom classes
a day, receive two targeted aca-
demic interventions, and will
have access to online clubs and
virtual office hours with teach-
ers.
other charter schools are al-
so crafting virtual schedules
that mirror a regular school
day.
still, some parents wish
classrooms would just reopen.
“to be honest, remote learn-
ing when they first put it to-
gether was rough,” said natalie
branch-lewis, whose 13-year-
old daughter is an incoming
eighth grader at boston prep.
”my daughter was like, ‘i don’t
have to get up and go to school.’
she would sit there and turn off
the Zoom camera.”
while her daughter was
looking forward to returning to
classrooms and socializing with
friends, branch-lewis said she
understands why boston prep
decided to stay remote, noting
the school did a good job com-
municating with families this
summer, and she likes that they
have developed a detailed plan.
varón, of boston collegiate,
vowed online learning this fall
will be more vibrant than the
hastily arranged remote learn-
ing of the spring.
“my great hope is that at the
end of the school year we will
f e e l g rat e f u l t h at w e w e r e
pushed to do great things be-
cause of the crisis we are in,”
said varón, who added it won’t
be easy as the pandemic drags
on.

A STATE OF EMERGENCY
national notebook
Local governments fear US may end PPE reimbursements
city and state leaders ex-
pressed fears tuesday that the
trump administration may
cease reimbursing some of
their purchases of masks,
gloves, and other personal pro-
tective equipment, a move they
said could tear new holes in
their budgets while threatening
public health.
the trouble stems from the
federal emergency manage-
ment agency, which typically
provides funds for disaster re-
lief and has played a central
role in the coronavirus pan-
demic. in calls throughout au-
gust, fema signaled that it
may soon seek to rethink the
criteria by which it doles out
those dollars, troubling local
governments, which say they
are desperate for easy-to-access
federal cash as the contagion
continues to spread.
for one thing, fema offi-
cials have told cities, states, and
their emergency responders
that they may have to turn to
other federal programs to cover
some of their coronavirus costs,
including protective equipment
for government employees and
disinfection supplies for
schools, according to erica
bornemann, the director of
vermont’s emergency manage-
ment agency. she said fema
has considered the policy
changes out of a belief that the
country is shifting from re-
sponding to the pandemic to
reopening amid the lingering
outbreak.
fema has not finalized its
plans, and they could still
change, some officials warned.
in recent days, the agency’s
leaders have told lawmakers on
capitol hill that they are not
planning any major policy an-
nouncements that may prevent
cities and states from obtaining
federal dollars for major costs
they have already submitted for
reimbursement, according to
two people familiar with the
briefings who spoke on the con-
dition of anonymity.
but the confusion fema has
created still prompted mayors
and governors to go public with
their frustrations tuesday. in a
letter to Peter t. gaynor, the

school of Public health who
wasn’t involved in the study,
said that assuming the corona-
viruses researchers analyzed
were a representative sample,
she had no trouble believing
the estimate of 20,000 confer-
ence-related cases.
“super-spreading is really a
key component of how we end-
ed up with an epidemic of this
gravity,” said buckee, who re-
ceived a copy of the study be-
fore it appeared tuesday on a
preprint server. “if you think
about it, all the cases in the
whole world originated from
one case. that’s the nature of
the exponential growth of epi-
demics.”
the research team analyzed
the genetic sequences of the vi-
rus that caused covid-19 in
the 772 patients, almost all
from essex, middlesex, nor-
folk, and suffolk counties. by
examining mutations in the ge-
netic code that naturally occur
as the virus makes copies of it-
self — subtle changes that act
like a passport stamp showing
where the pathogen has been
— the sleuths identified more
than 80 distinct sars-cov-2
genomes of viruses that infect-
ed the boston area in the first
five months of the year. most of
the viruses came from else-
where in the united states and
western europe, the scientists
said.
but one virus with a unique
genetic signature had an out-
size impact. some 289 of the
772 patients, or more than a
third, were infected with a vi-
rus traceable to the meeting
held on feb. 26-27 by cam-
bridge biotech biogen.
in a remarkable sign of how
the virus can spread unpredict-
ably and take a disproportion-
ate toll on society’s most vul-
nerable members, the 289 con-
ference-related cases included
122 people living in boston-ar-

agency’s administrator, seven
groups representing state, city,
and county leaders joined first
responders to slam fema for a
“troubling pattern of shifting
costs and responsibilities onto
states and localities when they
can least afford it.”
“fema and the administra-
tion have long maintained that
every disaster is federally sup-
ported, state managed, and lo-
cally executed,” added the
groups, which included the na-
tional governors association,
the national league of cities,
the national association of
counties, and the national
emergency management asso-
ciation.
“we call on fema to keep
its current guidance on emer-
gency protective measures, and
encourage the administration
to provide clear guidance on el-
ea homeless shelters and em-
ployees who work there, the
study says. it’s unclear what
path the virus took to get there.
by multiplying the propor-
tion of conference-related viral
genomes in each of the four
counties by the total number of
coronavirus infections in es-
sex, middlesex, norfolk, and
suffolk, the scientists estimate
that 20,000 infections could be
linked to the marriott event.
the study never mentions
biogen by name. it simply re-
fers to an “international busi-
ness conference held in boston
from february 26-27.”
“we’re not trying to point
fingers,” said bronwyn macin-
nis, director of pathogen sur-
veillance at the broad and one
of the authors interviewed.
“some [viral] introductions fiz-
zle out, others light fires. the
circumstances of this event —
the fact that it happened so
early in the epidemic and the
timing of where we were with
covid in the public conscious-
ness — meant it had a dispro-
portionate effect. it happened
in a city that wasn’t ‘woke.’ ”
in response, biogen said the
outbreak at the meeting hap-
pened almost six months ago,
when the understanding of
covid-19 was limited. but the
company did not dispute the
study or the estimate of 20,000
conference-related cases.
“ we n e v e r w o u l d h a v e
knowingly put anyone at risk,”
it said in a statement. “when
we learned a number of our
colleagues were ill, we did not
know the cause was covid-19,
but we immediately notified
public health authorities and
took steps to limit the spread.”
in april, the company
joined a group that includes
the broad, brigham and wom-
en’s hospital, and mass gener-
al that built a collection of bio-
logical and medical data about
the virus.
“ the world today has a
T h e B o s t o n
igibility of funding streams
from across the federal govern-
ment,” they said.
the groups also questioned
whether fema’s reluctance
may stem from the fact that the
agency is tapping its disaster
relief funds to boost out-of-
work americans’ weekly jobless
checks, a program that Presi-
dent trump commissioned by
executive action this month.
“it is outrageous that the
trump administration would
even consider cutting off criti-
cal funding for PPe to prop up
the president’s narrow and
meager unemployment
scheme,” said evan hollander,
communications director for
democrats on the house ap-
propriations committee.
fema did not respond to
multiple requests for comment.

Mo. professor fired over
comment to student in China
columbia, mo. — an asso-
ciate professor at the university
of missouri has been fired after
an online class exchange in
which he responded to a stu-
dent who said he was from wu-
han, china, “let me get my
mask on.”
the columbia missourian
reported that Joel Poor was re-
lieved of his teaching duties on
monday after the comment was
posted on twitter. Poor was
leading an online marketing
class. in the video, he asks if
any students are from outside
a perfect storm for super-
spreading, the scientists said.
the event drew attendees from
far-flung places. they packed
into hotel elevators and onto
escalators, sat near each other
at meetings, and socialized
over meals and drinks. the
conference happened before
many americans took precau-
tions against covid-19.
“because it happened early
in the epidemic, it had the
chance to spread widely before
e x t e n s i v e c a p a c i t y, s h u t -
downs, social distancing, and
masking were in place,” the
three scientists said in an e-
mail.
the patients with confer-
ence-related viral genomes in-
cluded 122 who lived in home-
less shelters in greater boston
or work with those people.
many sought treatment
through the health care pro-
gram for the homeless. the
study does not identify the
shelters.
the three authors said they
have no idea how the virus
spread from the conference to
homeless shelters. “but it illus-
trates that we are all connect-
ed, and that more vulnerable
populations are disproportion-
ately affected by covid-19 —
once it enters homeless com-
munities, the circumstances
are ripe for it to spread exten-
sively,” they said in the e-mail.
the scientists emphasized
that their estimate of 20,000
conference-related cases in
four counties is a “back-of-the-
envelope calculation.” the total
number of people infected
with the virus that spread from
the conference could be far
higher because the researchers
didn’t look at cases outside the
four counties or in other parts
of the country or abroad. the
outbreak at the conference is
believed to have led to a cas-
cade of cases in tennessee,
north carolina, indiana, new
Jersey, washington, d.c., and
the united states. a student
says he is from china.
Poor apologized in an e-mail
and said the reference was
meant as a joke. but many stu-
dents replied to the tweet that
they found the comment racist
and xenophobic.

the comment was reported to

Miss. students, teachers
quarantined after exposure
a mississippi school’s entire
fourth-grade class is under a
two-week quarantine after a
student and multiple teachers
tested positive for the coronavi-
rus.
the families of more than
200 fourth graders at lafayette
upper elementary school were
directed to quarantine over the
weekend, lafayette county
school district superintendent
adam Pugh told the associated
Press. he said one student and
six fourth-grade teachers were
infected, and most of the other
fourth-grade teachers were ex-
posed, leaving the oxford,
miss., school without enough
staff for in-person classes.
the school year began aug.
5 at the lafayette county
school district, with students
divided into two “teams” that
alternated attending classes in
person for the first two weeks.
all students were set to come
back to school together for the
first time on aug. 24; Pugh said
that date is now being pushed
to september. families have al-
so had the option of online-only
learning.
the district is already
mourning one member of its
community who died this
month while quarantining with
coronavirus symptoms, the as-
sociated Press noted.
as of last week, the missis-
sippi state department of
health reported about 2,000
students and 600 teachers were
in quarantine, the associated
Press reported.
schools there started re-
opening in late July.

overseas.
“a precise estimate of the
total number involved [global-
ly] is not possible with current
data and may not be possible at
all,” the scientists said. “if tens
of thousands of individuals
seems large, it is important to
point out that it is in [the] con-
text of a pandemic that has in-
fected tens of millions of peo-
ple.”
the three scientists offered
some caveats. it’s possible, they
said, that viral genomes from
patients who sought care at
mass general and other health
care providers weren’t repre-
sentative of coronaviruses in
the counties that the research-
ers used to make their extrapo-
lation.
it’s also possible that the
version of the virus they be-
lieve ricocheted at the confer-
ence had spread undetected
fr om anothe r loc al supe r-
spreader event beforehand and
then infected people at the
marriott, confusing research-
ers about the true origin. but,
the scientists said in their e-
mail, “we see no evidence for
that.”
dan hartl, a harvard biolo-
gy professor who specializes in
population genetics and wasn’t
involved in the study, said he
found the estimate of 20,000
cases credible, “although i
grant you it’s eye-popping.”
there probably wasn’t any-
thing extraordinary about the
conference-related virus that
caused it to spread so widely,
he added.
“you say, ‘oh, my gosh, this
one virus seems to have spread
much more than the others —
is there something special
about it?‘ ” he said. “not neces-
sarily. it just got lucky and
spread in one of these super-
spreader events.”

Father says Black Wis. man shot by police is paralyzed
Kenosha protest
devolves into
fires, vandalism
KenosHa, Wis. — the fam-
ily attorney for a Black man
shot by police in Wisconsin said
tuesday that
Protest Jacob Blake is
Notebook paralyzed and
it would “take
a miracle” for him to walk
again.
the shooting of Jacob Blake
on sunday in Kenosha, appar-
ently in the back, was captured
on cellphone video and ignited
new protests over racial injus-
tice in several cities, just three
months after the death of
george Floyd at the hands of
minneapolis police touched off
a wider reckoning on race.
“they shot my son seven
times, seven times, like he
didn’t matter,” said Blake’s fa-
ther, who is also named Jacob
Blake and who spoke to report-
ers alongside other family
members and lawyers. “But my
son matters. He’s a human be-
ing and he matters.”
the 29-year-old was in sur-
gery, said attorney Ben crump,
adding that the bullets severed
Blake’s spinal cord and shat-
tered his vertebrae.
“it’s going to take a miracle
for Jacob Blake Jr. to ever walk
again,” crump said.
the violence spilled into a
third night tuesday.
a group of protesters walked
toward a fence that was put in
place tuesday around a court-
house and started shaking it.
Police behind it moved toward
protesters as some threw water
bottles and fireworks over the
fence. armored vehicles then
rolled in and tear gas was fired
into the crowd.
When police ordered pro-
testers to disperse, the crowd
responded by chanting “Black
lives matter.” Police then fired
rubber bullets.

Men walked toward police with their hands up on Monday
in Kenosha, Wis., in a second night of civil unrest.
the unrest occurred despite
a declaration of a state of emer-
gency by Wisconsin governor
tony evers earlier tuesday.
“We cannot allow the cycle of
systemic racism and injustice to
continue,” he said. “We also
cannot continue going down
this path of damage and de-
struction.”
the campaign of democrat-
ic nominee Joe Biden issued a
similar statement. “Protesting
such brutality is right and nec-
essary. it’s an utterly american
response,” said senior sdviser
symone sanders. “But burning
down communities and need-
less destruction is not. Violence
that endangers lives is not. Vio-
lence that guts and shutters
businesses that serve the com-
munity is not.”
First lady melania trump, in
her rnc keynote speech from
the White House rose garden,
encouraged people “to stop the
violence and looting being done
in the name of justice, and nev-
er make assumptions based on
the color of a person.”
crowds had destroyed doz-
ens of buildings and set more
than 30 fires on monday night.
Blake’s mother, Julia Jack-
son, said the damage in
Kenosha does not reflect the
feelings of her family and if her

there were also nods to peo-

slice of moderates with attacks

trump could once again score
with a narrow victory.
much like the first night, the
presentations tuesday veered
between trumpeting trump’s
law-and-order mantra and pro-
moting his support for some
criminal justice reforms. the
recipient of trump’s pardon
was Jon ponder, who served
time for several crimes includ-
ing bank robbery, two people
briefed on the plans said.
ponder, who previously ap-
peared with trump at a White
house event in 2018, had al-
ready been granted clemency by
a nevada board for state-level
crimes. after his release, he
founded an organization to help
former prisoners reenter society.
“We live in a nation of sec-
ond chances,” ponder said,
standing alongside trump.
“Jon’s life is a beautiful testa-
ment to the power of redemp-
tion,” trump said before he
signed the pardon.
trump, who has been sharp-
ly criticized for his harsh anti-
immigration policies, also host-
ed a naturalization ceremony at
the White house in a video that
aired at the convention.

selves to be men and women of

he said there is “no higher
honor and no greater privilege”
than being a us citizen.
the night also featured per-
haps the bluntest character at-
tack so far on trump’s challeng-
er: pam Bondi, the former attor-
ney general of Florida, delivered
a litany of accusations — some
accurate, others misleading or
exaggerated — against former

members of his family, who she
claimed had sought to profit off

misleading tes-
timonials to spin a tale of hero-
ism and resolve far removed
from the grim reality of a coun-
try in the throes of an uncon-
trolled public health crisis.
at the republican national
convention on monday, trump
was hailed as a bold and lifesav-
ing leader who ‘‘was right’’ on
the coronavirus while demo-
crats, doctors, and pundits
were wrong from the begin-
ning. one campaign-style video
that aired during the conven-
tion hailed trump as the ‘‘one
leader’’ who stood up to the vi-
rus while quoting democratic
figures who downplayed the se-
verity of the virus in its early
stages.
it’s a revisionist version of
recent history belied by hours
of videotape in which the presi-
dent played down the threat of
the virus for months, falsely
predicted that it would ‘‘disap-
pear’’ with warmer weather,
promoted several unproven
miracle cures, pushed states to
reopen before meeting govern-
ment benchmarks, equivocated
on mask-wearing, defied social
distancing guidelines, and re-
peatedly told americans that
everything was under control.

in ukraine policy, an alleged
conflict of interest that has
been widely covered in the
news media.
“if they want to make this
election between who’s saving
america and who’s swindling
america, bring it on,” Bondi
said.
it is unclear whether the ap-
proach will appeal to voters
who are not already backing
trump in his race against Biden
or whether it is likelier to fire
up trump’s core supporters
without broadening his appeal.
the early television ratings re-
leased for the monday pro-
gramming showed that the con-
vention had drawn a smaller
audience — about 15.8 million
from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m., ac-
cording to nielsen — than the
equivalent night of the demo-
cratic convention last week
(roughly 19 million), and that a
huge share of the viewership
had been concentrated on the
conservative-leaning Fox news.
melania trump delivered
her keynote address before a
small audience at the White
house rose garden.
“in my husband, you have a
president who will not stop
fighting for you and your fami-
lies,” she said. “he will not give
up.”
the slovenia-born first lady
also spoke about healing “racial
the country 10 weeks before
election day, the president is
mounting an effort to change
americans’ minds about his
handling of the crisis, relying
on his background in reality
television and show business to
create an alternate reality that
edits out his mistakes and
zooms in on those of his oppo-
nents.
‘‘the rnc is taking a ‘mis-
sion accomplished’ approach
to coronavirus, but the fact
(trump) can’t even hold a regu-
lar convention says otherwise,’’
said amanda carpenter, a for-
mer aide to senator ted cruz,
republican of texas. she is a
trump critic who wrote a book
titled ‘‘gaslighting america:
Why We love it When trump
lies to us.’’ ‘‘american life as we
know it has been shut down
since last march because of his
magical and paranoid style of
thinking, campaigning, and
governing.’’
While trump has touted his
coronavirus response with mis-
leading videos, charts, and
quotes during news briefings
and in campaign ads, the re-
publican national convention
gives him a platform unique in
its scope and reach.
it’s perhaps trump’s last
best chance to present an unfil-
tered affirmative case for a sec-
ond term in a race where a ma-
jority of voters disapprove of his
handling of a pandemic that
has ravaged the economy and
upended americans’ lives.

pride in becoming a us citizen.
the address came after a di-
sastrous appearance at the rnc
four years ago in cleveland,
where she discarded a speech
prepared for her by two promi-
nent conservative speechwriters
and instead ended up borrow-
ing word-for-word phrases and
themes from michelle obama’s
speech at the democratic con-
vention eight years earlier.
her most famous fashion
faux-pax — when she chose to
wear an army green jacket that
said “i really don’t care, do
u?” on her way to visit a child
detention center in texas — has
become a lasting piece of her
image as first lady. aides said
she has shrugged it off, along
with all of the other criticisms
of how she has chosen to take
on the role.

cans’ message that democrats
would preside over a total
breakdown of domestic securi-
ty. in the Wisconsin suburb of
Kenosha, protests erupted in vi-
olence and arson after a white
police officer shot Jacob Blake,
a Black man, in the back in an
encounter sunday that was cap-
tured on video. such scenes of
destruction in a crucial swing
state could play into trump’s
hands, even as polls show most
voters disapprove of how the
government forecasts pre-
dict that the country’s coronavi-
rus death toll could surpass
200,000 by mid-september;
schools continue to struggle
with reopening plans; the econ-
omy continues to suffer from
recession-level unemployment
and desperation; a safe and ef-
fective vaccine is at least
months away.
trump’s positive portrayal
this week of his pandemic re-
sponse is also undermined by
the fact that the convention is
‘We have it under control. It’s going to
be just fine.’
donald trump, speaking about the coronavirus in January
mostly virtual. trump plans to
have a large crowd at the White
house to watch his speech from
the south lawn on thursday.
a Washington post-aBc
news poll this month found
that nearly two-thirds of regis-
tered voters say they are wor-
ried that they or their families
might contract the coronavirus,
and half of republicans ex-
pressed that concern. many of
those voters plan to vote for
democrat Joe Biden.
much of monday’s conven-
tion program tried to appeal to
such concerned voters by tell-
ing them not to worry about the
president’s efforts.
during one of his appear-
ances in monday’s program,
G l o b e
president has handled race re-
lations and matters of law en-
forcement.
democrats have largely ig-
nored the vandalism linked to
the unrest, and tuesday they
kept hammering trump on his
response to the coronavirus cri-
sis, the issue on which they be-
lieve he is most vulnerable.
“We haven’t even regained
half of the jobs lost during the
pandemic,” said governor
gretchen Whitmer of michigan.
“the economy has lost more
than 6 million jobs since trump
took the wheel, including more
than 250,000 factory jobs.”
pompeo’s appearance from
israel drew the most attention
heading into the e vening .
trump has made his support
for israel a major selling point
of his candidacy, though he has
acknowledged that some steps
— like relocating the us embas-
sy to Jerusalem — have earned
him more good will with con-
servative evangelical voters
than with american Jews.
pompeo told the convention
that trump has “pulled back
the curtain on the predatory ag-
gression of the chinese com-
munist party” and made histor-
ic progress toward middle east
peace.
the speech delivered while
overseas appears to violate state
department guidance that pro-
hibits political activity while on
trump spoke with a group of
front-line workers to thank
them for their efforts in com-
bating the virus.
‘‘Well, i’m for the nurses, i’m
for the doctors,’’ trump said.
‘‘We just have to make this chi-
na virus go away, and it’s hap-
pening.’’
the remarks echoed com-
ments trump has been making
since January, in which he has
repeatedly claimed the virus
was receding or under control
as it spread through the coun-
try.
‘‘We have it totally under
control,’’ trump said in January
when asked by a cnBc host if
he worried about a pandemic.
‘‘it’s one person coming in from
china, and we have it under
control. it’s going to be just
fine.’’
a month later, he praised his
administration for ‘‘a pretty
good job we’ve done,’’ predict-
ing that the number of con-
firmed cases in the country
would soon decline to zero. the
next day he declared ‘‘one day
— it’s like a miracle — it will dis-
appear.’’

sands in the spring and

also among the speakers
was a maine lobster fisherman,
who spoke in favor of trump’s
trade policies. his remarks
earned a rebuke from the state’s
democratic party, which faults
trump for hurting the industry.

er Jason Joyce said he approves
of trump’s June move to reopen
the northeast canyons and sea-
mounts marine national mon-
ument, off the new england
coast, to commercial fishing.
“as long as trump is presi-
dent, fishing families like mine
will have a voice,” Joyce said.
larr y Kudlow, the chief
White house economic adviser,
said that if trump were reelect-
ed his administration would
usher in new tax cuts for mid-
dle class americans and roll
back regulations facing small
businesses.
“now looking ahead, more
tax cuts and regulatory rollback
will be in store,” Kudlow said
during the convention. “payroll
tax cuts for higher wages, in-
come tax cuts for the middle
class, capital gains tax cuts for
investment, productivity and
jobs.”

Press and Bloomberg News was

ing the united states with the
most coronavirus deaths in the
world — trump continued to
tout his own handling of the vi-
rus and refer to it in the past
tense. he regularly made an-
nouncements of breakthrough
treatments that ultimately did
not prove effective, including
the anti-malarial drug hydroxy-
chloroquine and ultraviolet
rays.
he held rallies and avoided
wearing a mask at a time when
public health experts said social
distancing and face coverings
were the country’s best tools to
contain the virus.
in the video that aired at the
convention monday, trump
was praised for instituting trav-
el restrictions on china and
leading an effort to quickly pro-
duce personal protective equip-
ment and a vaccine.
‘‘From the very beginning,
democrats, the media, and the
World health organization got
coronavirus wrong,’’ the narra-
tor says in the video.
democrats said monday’s
program was proof that the
president continued to lack a
coherent plan to solve the coun-
try’s topmost problem.
‘‘the truth is that his failed
leadership has needlessly cost
over 177,000 americans their
lives, tens of millions of ameri-
cans their jobs, and left the
united states the hardest hit
country by the pandemic in the
whole world,’’ Biden deputy
campaign manager Kate Bed-
ingfield said in a statement.
Fact check
associated press
Washington — crucial
context was missing tuesday
when republicans heaped
praise on president trump for
his judgment on world affairs
and handling of the economy.
trump’s economic adviser
wholly distorted the conditions
trump inherited.
a look at rhetoric from the
second night of the virtual re-
publican national convention.
Economy
LARRY KUDLOW: trump’s
economic adviser said the presi-
dent was “inheriting a stagnant
economy on the front end of re-
cession,” and under the presi-
dent, “the economy was rebuilt
in three years.”
THE FACTS: this is false. the
economy was healthy when
trump arrived at the White
house even if the recovery
from the 2008 financial crisis
was agonizingly slow, trump
took office with unemployment
at a low 4.7 percent, steady job
growth, and a falling federal
budget deficit. the longest ex-
pansion in us history began in
the middle of 2009 and contin-
ued until the start of this year,
span ning both the Barack
obama and trump presiden-
cies.
the us economy did benefit
from trump’s 2017 tax cuts
with a jump in growth in 2018,
but the budget deficit began to
climb as a result of the tax
breaks that favored companies
and the wealthy in hopes of per-
manently expanding the econo-
my.
Iraq War
SENATOR RAND PAUL: “Joe
Biden voted for the iraq War,
which president trump has
long called the worst geopoliti-
cal mistake of our generation.”
THE FACTS: trump had no
more foresight on this matter
than Biden. neither was
against it when it started.
When asked during a sept.
11, 2002, radio interview if he
would support an iraq inva-
sion, trump responded, “yeah,
i guess so.” the next month,
Biden as a senator voted to au-
thorize george W. Bush to use
force in iraq.
the next march, just days af-
ter the united states launched
its invasion, trump said it
“looks like a tremendous suc-
cess from a military stand-
point.”
it wasn’t until september
2003 that trump first publicly
raised doubts about the inva-
sion. in november 2005, Biden
called his senate vote to autho-
rize force a mistake.
Defense
ERIC TRUMP: “my father re-
built the mighty american mili-
tary – added new jets, aircraft
carriers.”
THE FACTS: that’s an exag-
geration. his administration
has accelerated a sharp buildup
in defense spending, including
a respite from what the military
considered to be crippling
spending limits under budget
sequestration.
But a number of new penta-
gon weapons programs, such as
the F-35 jet, were started years
before the trump administra-
tion. and it will take years for
freshly ordered tanks, planes
and other weapons to be built,
delivered and put to use.
Farming
CRIS PETERSON: the dairy
farmer from Wisconsin said:
“our entire economy and dairy
farming are once again roaring
back. one person deserves the
credit and our vote, president
donald J. trump.”
THE FACTS: not everyone in
the dairy industry views it as
booming, especially as larger
operations are putting smaller
family farms out of business.
the agriculture department
reported this summer that
“dairy herds fell by more than
half between 2002 and 2019,
with an accelerating rate of de-
cline in 2018 and 2019, even as
milk production continued to
grow.”
part of the problem is that
smaller farms face higher pro-
duction costs. Farms with more
than 2,000 cattle are more like-
ly for their sales to exceed their
total costs, while smaller farms
are more likely to operate at a
loss by this metric.

Artist’s view of police brutality welcomed at Mass MoCA

said leonardo, referring to the
controversy in Cleveland. “the
willingness to invite the tension
and tackle the various debates
surrounding the work, that was
evident from the jump.”
the show, titled “the Breath
of empty space,” had been well
reviewed at the maryland Col-
lege institute of art, where it
was originally organized by in-
dependent curator John Chai-
ch.
But things went awr y in
Cleveland, where according to
a museum statement, the orga-
nization “encountered [a] trou-
bling community response that
suggested . . . we were not pre-
pared to engage with the lived
experiences of pain and trauma
that the work evokes.”
“we were completely am-
bushed by the cancellation,”
said leonardo, 40, who learned
the news in a call with the mu-
seum. “we were under the im-
pression that that phone call
was in regards to strategizing
for community outreach. there
was no indication that any pro-
cess had started.”
in early June, leonardo cir-
culated a note charging that he
“never had a moment to engage
any community member re-
garding the show.”
“after grave mishandling of
communication regarding the
exhibition, institutional white
fragility led to an act of censor-
ship,” wrote leonardo, who is
afro-latino. “i seek in my work
to break white silence and force
us, collectively, into a difficult,
yet necessary process of inter-
rogation.”
in the ensuing fallout, the
Cleveland museum’s executive
director, Jill snyder, issued a
second public apolog y, ac-
knowledging the museum had
failed to work through the exhi-
bition’s challenges with leonar-
do.
“[w]e failed the artist, we
breached his trust, and we
failed ourselves,” wrote snyder.
“we prevented ourselves and
our community from having
the difficult and urgent conver-
sations that contemporary art
seeks to advance.”

museum for more than two de-
c a d es , r e s i g n e d l at e r t h at

group called the massachusetts
Bail fund came up with the
$50,000 bail. in July, Price was
set free until his trial, much to
rollins’s dismay.
now, rollins is changing her
office’s approach to defendants
that prosecutors believe are too
dangerous to be free while they
await trial. as the financially
flush Bail fund increasingly
pays to free people facing high
bail, rollins said her office will
more frequently ask a judge to
hold a special hearing to deter-
mine wh e ther de fendants
charged with certain violent
crimes are too dangerous for re-
lease.
“as a candidate for da, i fre-
quently heard that suffolk
County, unlike other da offices,
rarely utilized dangerousness
hearings and instead reverted
to requesting bails,” she said in
a statement. “Having been da
for the past 19 months, i can
say with certainty, that is accu-
rate. i will absolutely be revisit-
ing this past practice.”
worcester district attorney
Joseph early said his office, too,
will now request more danger-
ousness hearings for defen-
dants considered public safety
threats.
Civil rights advocates have
long argued that setting high
bail to keep dangerous people
locked up is not only unfair to
people without money, it’s also
illegal. the legal purpose of
bail, they point out, is to ensure
that defendants show up in
court, not to punish them.
“we have seen prosecutors
improperly rely on high bail in-
stead of going through the ap-
propriate legal channels includ-
ing dangerousness proceed-
ings,” said ivan espinoza-
madrigal, executive director of
lawyers for Civil rights. “this

Cleveland museum referred the
globe to its official statement,
posted on the organization’s
website.
the episode came as a num-
ber of museums across the
country have struggled in re-
cent years to address long-
standing issues of systemic rac-
ism. the Contemporary art
museum st. louis faced fierce
criticism four years ago after
presenting a white conceptual
artist’s show depicting police
brutality. similarly, the walker
art Center in minneapolis re-
moved a sculpture in 2017 fol-
lowing objections from the da-
kota community. more recently,
employees at the guggenheim
museum in new york, the de-
troit institute of arts, and oth-
ers have decried what they say
are racially fraught work envi-
ronments.
learning of the Cleveland
controversy, laura thompson,
a curator at mass moCa,
reached out to leonardo, who
previously conducted an artist
residency at the north adams
museum, and whose work has
been featured at both the
is wrong and illegal. relying on
high bail perpetuates a two-
tiered system of injustice where
low-income people remain in
jail, while the wealthy — includ-
ing those accused of reprehen-
sible crimes — go free.”
with the exceptions of pros-
ecutors in essex and Bristol
counties, most massachusetts
das generally have not consis-
tently asked for dangerousness
hearings, statewide data show.
Bail is fundamental to the
criminal justice system, giving
people who’ve been arrested an
opportunity to be released from
jail as long as they pay, at least
until trial. Judges are supposed
to set bail that is high enough to
ensure the defendant will re-
turn to court rather than risk
losing the money.
the judge may consider an
array of factors, from the defen-
dant’s family ties and employ-
ment to the seriousness of the
alleged crime to the defendant’s
criminal record. But the judge
is not supposed to base a deci-
sion on whether the defendant
is dangerous to the public.
for that, prosecutors are
supposed to request a special
hearing for the judge to evalu-
ate whether a defendant can be
safely released. the judge can
then order the defendant held
without bail for up to 180 days
in superior court or 120 days in
district court.
But, in practice, such hear-
ings happen infrequently. a
globe review of dangerousness
hearings in suffolk County this
year shows that prosecutors re-
quested them in only about 10
percent of the superior court
cases where the crime was seri-
ous enough for prosecutors to
have the option.
By contrast, essex County
prosecutors asked to have de-
fendants held without bail in

essex district attorney Jon-
athan Blodgett said his office is
sometimes criticized for at-
tempting to hold too many de-
fendants without bail.
“our decisions are fact-driv-

provided clear and convincing
evidence that the person is a

“my job is to speak for and
represent victims of crime and

former suffolk prosecutors
said they did nothing wrong in
requesting cash bail instead of
seeking dangerousness hear-
ings. they said they asked for
appropriate bail in serious cas-
es and the defendants were
held. they didn’t anticipate
that the Bail fund would at-
tempt to free people regardless
of their records or the charges
they face — and also have the
resources to pay bail as high as

as recently as January, the non-

mcClinton back on the street.
“it’s a direct smack in the

dren are safe,” said gross.
rollins was not district at-
torney when a judge set a
$15,000 bail for mcClinton,
and she expressed outrage
when the Bail fund set him
free. in a statement, she called
the Bail fund’s willingness to
free mcClinton “the act of a
coward.”
“i would have so much more
respect for the Bail fund if they
had bailed him out and then let
him stay in one of their homes.”
Bail fund supporters say the
suffolk da’s office had itself to
blame: if prosecutors thought
mcClinton was too dangerous
to be released, they should have
asked a judge to declare him
dangerous instead of agreeing
to bail. even when mcClinton
was rearrested, records show
rollins’s prosecutors did not
ask that mcClinton be held as
dangerous.

fendants be declared danger-
ous, but she said there are risks.
Holding a hearing early in a
case could jeopardize an ongo-
ing investigation by revealing
details of the prosecution case
to the defense, she said. and al-
though victims are not legally
required to attend dangerous-
ness hearings, judges or de-
fense lawyers often request
their testimony, which can be
traumatic for them.
“i absolutely support efforts
to eliminate the disparities in
our criminal legal systems —
and there have been stark dis-
parities in the use of pretrial de-
tention,” rollins said. “But i al-
so recognize that we, as the
prosecution, must do better in
moving for dangerousness if we
believe the individual before us
poses a danger.”
Bristol district attorney
thomas m. Quinn iii, whose
office regularly requests dan-
gerousness hearings, said the
hearings are more fair than the
“arbitrary and outdated prac-
tice” of setting bail.
“this approach will promote
more fairness in the criminal
justice system while also pro-
tecting the public from danger-
ous individuals,” Quinn said.
But suffolk law school pro-
fessor rosanna Cavallero cau-
tioned that dangerousness
hearings should be reserved for
only the most extreme cases.
”everybody is entitled to bail
except the very few people that
we can make a preliminary
finding at a very high bar that
they really pose a danger of vio-
lence,” Cavallero said, adding
that if prosecutors sought to
hold everyone charged with a
serious crime “the courts would

ness hearings for all of them.”

The White House attack on health

you are about to take has been rigorously tested
in clinical trials — as is the gold standard set by

to serve as an apolitical arbiter of the safety and
effectiveness of drugs, vaccines, and other medical
products before they go to the market.
On saturday, the president tweeted a message

Food and drug administration, arguing, without
evidence, that the agency was “making it very difficult”
for companies to test COVId-19 vaccines and

administration fueling conspiracy theories about the

Honey, they shrunk

the GOP platform
O
n the eve of its
national convention
this week, the
Republican Party
decided not to adopt
a new platform for 2020. In so
doing, it ended an unbroken
tradition dating back to 1856,
when the first Republican
convention committed itself to
opposing slavery, supporting the
admission of Kansas as a free
state, and building a railroad to
the Pacific Ocean. the gOP
produced 41 platforms in the
ensuing 164 years, but there will
be no 42nd one this year.
By itself, the decision to forgo a
new party manifesto isn’t the worst
thing in the world. Platforms have
no discernible impact on voters,
and candidates don’t consider
themselves bound by their party’s
formal statement of positions and

himself can’t articulate what he

to life-threatening diseases that would take a long time to study
in clinical trials, the fda does speed up access to, and
sometimes approval of, experimental therapies. in the early
1990s, for example, under pressure from hiV and aids
patients and activists, the fda approved therapies before they
were fully vetted in clinical trials in order to give patients who
were at risk of dying access to experimental treatments. (it’s
worth noting that the barrier to studying hiV/aids therapies
was arguably much higher than it is for studying coVid-19
and the prognosis more devastating for a larger share of
patients.) similarly, emergency use authorizations such as that
used to green-light convalescent plasma for coVid-19 can and
have been useful during contagious disease outbreaks — if the
basis for giving them is medical and scientific as opposed to
political.

rather a political cult centered on trump.

ings of 26-year-old true believer charlie
kirk, the “defender of Western civilization,”
while the election of 2020 presents a choice
between “preserving america as we know it
and eliminating everything that we love.”
republican praise of trump is by
necessity laden with nostalgia. the
incumbent, after all, is running for
reelection in a time when the coronavirus
pandemic he didn’t take with sufficient
seriousness has brought the portcullis
clanging down on the robust economy that
had been his best hope for reelection.
With unemployment
now above 10 percent,

only 1.2 percentage points
from the 4.7 percent democrat barack
obama handed his gop successor. but even
trump’s hugely over-hyped economic
sandcastle is now gone, washed away by his
waves of coronavirus incompetence:
repeatedly ignored warnings, an abdication
of national leadership, the politicization of
mask-wearing, and a premature push for
reopening.
trump’s team did its best to replace that
truth with the kind of man-of-the-moment
mythology this president believes about
himself. most americans, however, know
the truth and aren’t inclined to will away
reality. thus the gop’s warning about the
consequences of electing the democratic
ticket.
one of the principal examples of that
fear-mongering was that biden and running
mate senator kamala harris will bring
socialism or, worse, communism, to
america. that’s almost too foolish to merit
refutation. biden, after all, has been around
as long as, and is as comfortable as, an old
slipper. but consider: to the chagrin of the
progressives, the democrats’ center-left
nominee doesn’t even support single-payer
health care. Which is to say, a strange
socialist, he.
of course, if one is disinclined to think
there’s a marxist hiding behind every red
maple, there were other threats on offer:
discord. Violence. change.
electing the
democrats, warned the
gun-toting republican
caricatures that are mark
and patricia mccloskey of
st. louis, would mean
opening the suburbs to
“crime, lawlessness, and
low-quality apartments.”
imagine: rentals without granite
countertops and with home depot
carpeting rather than glossy wood floors!
and just who do you think would rent those
apartments, mr. and mrs. White suburban
america? hint: it won’t be people like you.
and that, so far, is what the gop has put
on offer in 2020. not a vision, but nostalgia
and nightmare. it’s been a long time since
the gop could accurately claim to be a party
of ideas rather than orthodoxies. still, this
convention signifies a new phase in its
devolution. recognize it for what it is: a
trump-delivered death blow to the last
lingering aspects of intelligent national
republicanism.

looking at a screen all day, especially young children. that’s

Leadership vacuum has come
from state, school leaders
in her article about teachers unions, bianca Vázquez ton-
ess writes, “this summer, school and state leaders took a
wait-and-see approach.” What they didn’t do is lead, for ex-
ample, by modernizing air filtration systems or procuring
shields to be mounted on desks.
teachers are not to blame for the mess we’re in. state
and school leaders (“management”) gave guidance that
changed with the wind in the spring, but ultimately their
decisions dictated the number of hours required of stu-
dents and teachers, when it would be appropriate to in-
crease the level of challenge in instruction, and how grad-
ing would be approached. teachers were then tasked with
making sense of it all. now those same teachers are being
bad-mouthed for a disappointing remote learning trial ex-
perience and for having the audacity to stand up for the
health of their students, students’ families, and themselves.
most teachers do not believe that the management of
their building will provide for a safe environment. the
leaders say they know better. i have a sinking feeling that
we’ll have to wait and see who’s right.

gressman Joseph P. Kennedy iii has
been beset by charges that his primary
run against senator edward Markey was
a vanity campaign, pitting two politi-
cians with very few substantive differ-
ences.
yet it may be all that common ground
between them that accounts for the in-
creasingly personal tone of the cam-
paign. in lieu of closing arguments, vot-
ers are instead being subjected to a
steady diet of attacks, with Kennedy cari-
catured as a fake progressive.
“i don’t know how it can both be true
that there is no difference, and that if i
win the future of the world is in jeopar-
dy,” Kennedy told me tuesday.
early on, Markey secured the support
of a lot of the state’s political establish-
ment —which, not for the first time, re-
coiled at the notion of an intraparty skir-
mish.
to that he added the support of pro-
gressives who saluted his longstanding
support of climate change legislation
and his co-sponsorship of the green new
Deal. if you have access to a television,
you know all about this, courtesy of his
new bff, representative alexandria oc-
asio-Cortez.
yet, this race feels as though it is
headed right down to the wire. that’s
not surprising to me, because Kennedy
has quietly laid the groundwork for his
race for years.
not by being born into america’s
most storied (and star-crossed) political
family, the inheritor of a century of
know-how and good will. no, Kennedy
has built it over his four terms in politi-
cal office, by showing up at times that
other politicians don’t.
Jonathan Wiggs/globe staff
“People deserve to have representa-
tion that’s going to fight for them,” Ken-
nedy said. “nobody in lawrence asks me
why i’m running. nobody in springfield the early vote Madelyn langlois prepared to cast her ballot tuesday for the sept. 1 primary
during early voting in brighton at the honan-allston branch library.
asks me why i’m running.”

Candidates in search of notice

Just about a year ago, we were in the
south end together, touring the head-
quarters of health Care for the home-
less, headed by the legendary Dr. Jim
o’Connell. it was just after Kennedy had
announced.
What struck me, walking around
Massachusetts avenue and Melnea Cass
boulevard, was that Kennedy wasn’t
meeting people there for the first time. it
wasn’t in his district. but he had thought
about the issues of drug addiction and
homelessness, worked on them, and had
talked to people who were on the front
lines every day — without cameras or
fanfare.
i think that kind of work accounts for
the support he holds in communities
across the state where politicians don’t
always show up. he’s been endorsed by a
slew of elected officials outside route
128, mostly because they’ve seen him.
When you’re used to being ignored, that
matters.
a lot has been made of the negative
tone of the race. but to some extent,
that’s normal in a hard-fought primary.
attacks fill the void that is left when poli-
cy differences between candidates are so
small.
but these, of course, are not normal
times. these are times when the Demo-
cratic Party is determined to tackle big
issues, particularly on racial justice.
these are times that demand change.
Democrats have voted for the right
things for years — and, clearly, in terms
of bringing about equity, that hasn’t been
enough. it’s going to take a movement
that will push over a long haul, and lead-
ers who will be accountable to that.
so voters are left to measure intangi-
bles — concern, passion, presence. how
that gets assessed is a great unknown —
maybe the decisive unknown — in this
race.
What bugs me about this race isn’t
that people are saying terrible things on
twitter — though they are. What bothers
me is that it diminishes not only the is-
sues, but two strong candidates.
for voters outside that echo chamber,
what constitutes a true champion? Mar-
key has the strength of a long and distin-
guished legislative record; Kennedy asks
voters to believe in the power of passion
and presence.
in less than a week, the results will be
in.

over succeeding weeks,
months, and years, kaminski
allegedly intensified his control
over the girl through in-person
contact, e-mails, and text mes-

was visiting his on-campus

He also insinuated himself into
her family so thoroughly that
he traveled to china with them,

kaminski and the girl, ulti-

case it is made even more un-
fathomable that the defendant
is a former member of law en-

College trustees again file for bankruptcy
the southern Vermont college trustees have filed for chapter 7
bankruptcy, again. the request filed Monday in us bankruptcy
court — Vermont division is similar to a dismissed request
filed in June, the bennington banner reported. less than a
week after the June request was filed the court-appointed
chapter 7 trustee, raymond obuchowski, requested that it be
dismissed. obuchowski, of bethel, said that he did not believe
he could proceed with the process because of a previously ar-
ranged six-week youth camp for orthodox Jewish teens from
the new Jersey-new york city area. chairman david newell
said that the camp has concluded and that the board expects to
see campus assets auctioned. southern Vermont college an-
nounced it would close due to declining enrollment and debt,

In letter, Democrats ask Markey to denounce nastiness
Senator urged
to tell supporters
to stop attacks
By Victoria McGrane
globe staff
a group of nearly 50 nota-
ble Massachuse tts figures
across politics, business, and
philanthropy — many support-
ers of Joseph P. Kennedy III —
on tuesday urged senate ed-
ward J. Markey and his cam-
paign manager, John Walsh, to
“publicly and clearly denounce
the hateful conduct and
speech” directed at Markey’s
opponent in the senate demo-
cratic primary. the letter came
one day after the Kennedy
campaign publicly accused
Markey and his team of not do-
ing enough to discourage nega-
tive attacks by the senator’s
supporters.

per PaC. “and none of you will
join me in denouncing the
money that’s flooding into this
race, the secret money, spread-
ing lies and misinformation.”
a negative turn in campaign
rhetoric is, of course, common,
if not expected in a heated con-
test. but in the fourth district
primary, it has helped feed into
its already chaotic nature, with
arrows seemingly whizzing
from all corners of a race where
most policy disputes span dif-
ferent points of the progressive
spectrum.
every candidate says he or
she supports expanding health
care, with Mermell, Ihssane
leckey, a self-described demo-
cratic socialist, and natalia
linos, a brookline epidemiolo-
gist, fully embracing Medicare
for all.
all but Zannetos and
auchincloss, a newton city
councilor, say they endorse end-
ing qualified immunity for po-
lice facing threats of lawsuits.
(the other two say they support
reforming it.) seven candidates
that logged into a student-led
forum on friday all said they
back a so-called “blue new deal”
to further protect oceans.
that general homogeneity in
a democratic-leaning district
has left the candidates’ back-
grounds — and their perceived
standing in a fluid field — as
fodder for their foes. but there’s

they are oil and water, one
decidedly controversial and the
other more traditional, pre-
senting starkly different mes-
sages that highlight the stresses
and divides within their chang-
ing party.
If much of the past is pro-
logue, the victor will have near-
ly no chance in the general elec-
tion. but that hasn’t stopped
ayyadurai and o’Connor from
a whirlwind of retail politick-
ing. sometimes, that’s with 300
tr u m p s u p p o r t e r s w h o
swarmed Wilmington Com-
mon recently. other times, it’s
engaging less than a handful of
people.
one recent day, o’Connor
spent a half-hour pitching his
candidacy to two people in
dracut. neither of them had
met o’Connor before, and one
of them wondered whether the
campaign had even begun.
“When are you running?”
asked devin Cordeiro, who re-
cently purchased a lakeside
club that has yet to open be-
cause of pandemic restrictions.
“I’m running right now,”
said o’Connor, leaning against
the bar and offering Cordeiro a
bumper sticker.
“ Who are you running
against?” Cordeiro replied. the
name didn’t register.
later, Cordeiro said he had
enjoyed meeting o’Connor de-
hominem assaults, the person-
al derision — this is the kind of
speech and conduct that many
of us have worked either indi-
vidually or in anti-hate organi-
zations to combat. to see it in-
dulged, let alone tacitly en-
couraged, by individuals such
as yourselves is painful,” the
group, which includes past
Markey supporters, wrote in a
letter addressed to Markey and
Walsh, a copy of which was
shared with the globe.

names on the letter to Markey

whom have already made up
their minds. as of Monday,
more than 50,000 voters in the
34 cities and towns the district
touches had submitted demo-
cratic ballots, according to state
figures.
“I don’t think pointing out
records is negative,” said Mer-
mell, a progressive brookline
democrat who has repeatedly
driven attacks against the more
centrist auchincloss. “In a
crowded field where lots is go-
ing on — CoVId, major social
upheaval, a big senate race, a
big presidential race — we’re
just working hard to make sure
that the differences in this race
are clear.”
the knives came out in ear-
spite what he considers a fore-
gone conclusion.
“you could help him all you
want, but we live in liberal
Massachusetts,” Cordeiro said.
“If there’s ever a place where
your vote doesn’t count, it’s
here and California."
that same day, ayyadurai
campaigned through live-
streamed social media, at one
point explaining what a prima-
ry election is to viewers from as
far away as australia. His pitch
is not subtle: In ayyadurai’s
view, the 2020 election “is the
inflection point in human his-
tory. It is the inflection point
between freedom and slavery.”
He believes that the state
Republican and democratic
parties have colluded for years
in a power-sharing conspiracy
that allows the goP to control
the governor’s office and the
democrats to pull the levers in
the legislature.
ayyadurai, who voted for
donald trump in 2016, thinks
dr. anthony fauci, the nation’s
top infectious disease adviser,
is a deep state actor who
should be fired and indicted.
the call for mandatory masks,
he warned, is a plot by a ruth-
less elite “to test people’s psy-
chology to see how much they
can get away with.”
In a tweet last week, ayya-
durai chided a woman who had
told the democratic national
Convention that her father,
who died from CoVId-19, had
T h e B o s t o n
wife, Irina; and Ronald M.
druker, a well-known boston-
area developer.
the signatories include
prominent figures in the bos-
ton area Jewish community
such as barry shrage, the for-
mer head of Combined Jewish
Philanthropies of greater bos-
ton, one of the state’s largest
nonprofits.
the letter states that several
of the signatories have worked
to elect Markey in past races,
and some have worked with
Walsh. at least some of those
who wrote the letter are sup-
porting Kennedy’s campaign,
and many appeared to have do-
nated money to it, but glovsky
told the globe in an interview
he isn’t sure if everyone who
signed on is backing Kennedy.
asked about the letter at a
campaign stop tuesday, Mar-
key pointed to an aug. 11 de-
bate with Kennedy and said he
has already spoken out against
nest in late July when during
and after a debate, leckey, a
former Wall street regulator
from brookline, and ben sigel,
a brookline attorney, suggested
auchincloss should drop out of
the race. leckey argued he
broke a pledge not to take mon-
ey from the fossil industry,
prompting auchincloss to
shoot back about leckey pour-
ing money into her campaign
from savings she shares with
her husband, an energy trader.
sigel, meanwhile, seized on
a letter auchincloss wrote in
2016 urging school officials not
to punish students who had
flown the Confederate flag out-
side a newton high school, say-
ing that while it was an “act of
made the mistake of trusting
trump on the virus.
“sorry for your loss,” ayya-
durai tweeted. “but, the Real

a high risk group & should’ve

from Mumbai, who received
four degrees from MIt, created
an e-mail system as a new Jer-

has filed multiple libel suits
against people who have dis-
puted that he invented e-mail
as we know it. one case was
dismissed by a trial court
judge, another was settled, and
a third is pending.
ayyadurai, 56, did not speak
with the globe for this article.
a spokesman said the newspa-
per had treated him unfairly in
the past.
ayyadurai’s campaign web-
site and videos refer to his sci-
entific background and prob-
lem-solving skills. Issues of in-
terest include opposition to
what he calls “forced vaccina-
tion,” big-tech “censorship” of
free speech, and the environ-
ment.
for his opponent, ayyadurai
had only derision on social me-
dia, calling o’Connor the par-
G l o b e
the hateful attacks the letter
raises.
“I said it as strongly as I can,
that it has no place in this cam-
paign. I made it very clear on
statewide television,” Markey
said. “I condemned it. I said it
has no role, and that also [it]
has nothing to do with my
campaign.”
Markey said his campaign
has immediately reported any
inappropriate posts on twitter
to the platform.
later tuesday, the Markey
campaign put out a press re-
lease saying they had reported
a suspicious twitter account
with the handle @Markeychu-
setts, since deleted, posting in-
sults about the Kennedy cam-
paign to the fbI.
Markey declined to weigh in
on whether he approved of
Walsh describing the Kennedy
campaign’s allegations and re-
ports of death threats against
their candidate as “crocodile
bigotry,” punishment could vio-
late their right to free speech.
(auchincloss called the letter a
“mistake.”)
days later, the globe’s edito-
rial board endorsed auchin-
closs, further ratcheting up the
attacks on him as a perceived
front-runner, with sigel lashing
out in a statement that he is a
“silver-spoon Republican,” a
reference to auchincloss’s past
work as a staffer and consultant
for the state Republican Party
and governor Charlie baker.
the attacks have since ex-
panded. asked about largely
self-funding her campaign at a
debate last week, leckey — who
as of mid-august had put more
than $1 million into the race —
ty’s “designated loser” in an
outcome predetermined by the
state’s power-brokers.
o’Connor, 58, is much more
of a traditional new england
Republican. like ayyadurai,
o’Connor supports trump, but
parts of his platform differ sig-
nificantly from the president’s
agenda.
unlike the president’s ten-
dency toward isolationism,
o ’ Co n n o r s a i d t h e un i t e d
states needs to be a global lead-
er.
“that means intervention to
root out terrorism before it
reaches our shores and defend-
ing human rights from authori-
tarians and failed, corrupt re-
gimes,” o’Connor’s website
states.
on the environment, o’Con-
nor said, “we need to tackle cli-
mate change using technology
and be the global leader in the
green industry."
o’Connor finds common
ground with national Republi-
cans on the broad issue of po-
licing. He described steering
money from police depart-
ments — “defunding,” in the
current terminology — as dan-
gerous and “an opportunistic
effort to take advantage of real-
ly unfortunate circumstances.”
a father of four and gradu-
at e o f b o s t o n Co l l e ge l aw
school, o’Connor acknowl-
edged that the Republican pri-
mary winner faces daunting
challenges, and not only be-
tears,” a phrase that rankled
many Kennedy supporters, in-
cluding those who wrote the
letter tuesday to Markey and
Walsh.
Markey said that language
was part of a conversation be-
tween Walsh and nick Clem-
ons, the Kennedy campaign
manager who raised concerns
about what he said is the “dan-
gerous” atmosphere being cre-
ated by Markey supporters on
Monday.
the senator said that the
hateful and vile rhetoric online
raised by the Kennedy cam-
paign is “completely and total-
ly unacceptable,” and vowed to
continue to denounce such at-
tacks.
but he stressed again that
his “campaign is not responsi-
ble for those tweets [and] on-
line attacks. We don’t have any
connection” with the people
making them, “and the Kenne-
dy campaign knows that,” Mar-
quickly turned her answer into
a critique of Mermell.
Mermell had earlier ad-
dressed a vote in 2010 when
she was on brookline’s select
board to briefly suspend a fire
lieutenant, who later was pro-
moted, after he used a racial
slur on a voice mail message for
a black firefighter.
Mermell, who left the board
in 2013, said the punishment
was “inadequate” and apolo-
gized in May 2019 for voting for
it. but leckey, who entered the
race before Kennedy challenged
senator edward J. Markey, sug-
gested that Mermell’s contri-
tion in the spring was political-
ly driven. (It wasn’t until au-
gust that news reports surfaced
of Kennedy’s interest in the
senate, opening the field.)
“I don’t think that we need
people who, you know, some-
times mean well but fall short,
and then it takes them a decade
to come out and apologize
when they’re looking for a high-
er office,” leckey said.
Mermell pushed back, say-
ing it was “unacceptable and in-
sulting” to say her apology
wasn’t sincere.
the jabs haven’t been limit-
ed to candidate-on-candidate
blows. the super PaC Women
Vote! — affiliated with eMIly’s
list, which has not endorsed in
the race — has spent nearly
$560,000 in attacking auchin-
closs and Khazei as candidates
who “don’t stand up for wom-
en’s reproductive freedom.”
the assaults dig back years,
citing auchincloss’s time work-
ing during the 2014 gubernato-
cause democrats have held a
near monopoly on the state’s
two us senate seats for more
than 40 years.
speaking to a socially dis-
tanced outdoor meeting of the
dracut Republican town Com-
mittee, o’Connor complained
that major media organizations
have largely ignored him.
“there’s a bias against con-
servative, common-sense peo-
ple,” o’Connor said.
Campaign finance reports
filed with the federal election
Commission show a wide dis-
parity in spending.
through aug. 12, ayyadu-
rai’s campaign had spent $1.4
million, including an infusion
of $1.05 million of his own
money. o’Connor, by contrast,
had spent $281,193 and loaned
his campaign $122,800.
Polling has been nonexis-
tent, o’Connor said, although
he added that unspecified
“feedback mechanisms” have
shown growing support for his
candidacy. In an indication that
the party is focused elsewhere,
state goP chairman Jim lyons
said he is concentrating on in-
creasing the meager Republi-
can presence in the legislature.

glovsky said the letter came
together as a “spontaneous” re-
action to what its signatories
have been seeing from Markey
supporters, and that they were
trou ble d beca use many of
them know Markey well. “this
is beneath him,” said glovsky,
who is supporting Kennedy’s
campaign.

year-old Politico story about the
negotiations over the afford-
able Care act. the article says
Khazei, then a senate candi-
date, would have supported the
bill even though he disagreed
with an amendment restricting
those with federal subsidies
from getting private abortion
coverage. (It later was stripped
from the final version.)
Khazei has railed against the
mailers, calling them patently
false and, in recent days, de-
manding without success that
his opponents also condemn
them. but the group has also
appeared to shift most of its fo-
cus to auchincloss, spending
roughly $350,000 targeting
him alone and devoting to him
its entire bare-bones website.
auchincloss’s response: In a
race with four women, includ-
ing a former Planned Parent-
hood official, his campaign has
mailed fliers picturing him and
his mother, laurie glimcher,
dana-farber Cancer Institute’s
chief executive, calling him the
“right leader” to defend
Planned Parenthood against
President trump.
“I really strongly believe that
voters want to hear a positive
message for the day after
trump,” auchincloss said.
“they don’t want to focus on
negativity when we should be
uniting to defeat him.”

about one-quarter of the

addressed, was wearing masks.
the mood had been boisterous,
but festive, until a protester
walked onto the speaking plat-
form with a sign depicting a
private piece of the male anato-

“trump.”
the protester was surround-
ed by angry trump supporters,
had his sign smashed by one of
them, and eventually was

police who formed a barrier be-

o’Connor stood to the side,
quietly taking in the spectacle.

State to monitor returning students
Officials aim to
avoid potential
spread of virus
By Travis Andersen
and Jaclyn Reiss
globe staff
governor charlie baker said
tuesday that state officials are
talking regularly with local col-
leges as students return for the
fall semester amid the covid-
19 pandemic.
baker, speaking during his
regular press briefing, also not-
ed that so-called superspreader
events like the now-infamous
february biogen conference in
boston illustrate how the dis-
ease can move from one person
to another in a short period of
time.
“our biggest concern at this
point is unmasked, undis-
tanced, unmanaged events,
and the reason we said that is
our own contact tracing activity
has shown that big elements of
the rise in cases that we’ve seen
in some of the communities
that we would call high-risk has
not been the result of people
coming to a place like this,”
baker said during his regular
briefing following a tour of
WheelWorks bike shop in bel-
mont.
“because generally speak-
ing, the people who work here
are wearing masks and distanc-
ing, the customers aren’t al-
lowed in the stores if they don’t
wear a mask and distance,”
baker said.
He said Massachusetts offi-
cials expect about the half the
number of college students
who normally come to the state
for the fall semester to return
this autumn.
“our primary focus right at
this point is the colleges re-
opening, whether it’s remote or
kids coming back to school,
and with k-12 school reopen-
ing,” baker said. “those are big
deals here in the common-
wealth of Massachusetts.”
He said the reduced number

but a significant deficit re-
mained, requiring tuesday’s
further cuts.
“although it managed to
maintain emergency care for its
clients — and indeed was the
only dental school in the boston
area to do so — the loss of reve-
nue from the clinics has been
substantial,” nadine aubry,
tufts provost, and Mike How-
ard, the university’s executive
vice president, said in an e-mail
to staff.
the cuts are limited to the
dental school, tufts officials said.
colleges in Massachusetts
and across the country have
been cutting staff and faculty
this past summer. More layoffs
are likely as a clearer picture
emerges of how many students
enroll in classes this fall, and
how much room and board rev-
enue institutions will lose be-
cause they have been forced to

undergraduates to campus.

asked about a forthcoming

of the cases have been deemed

elder fernandes was the
second soldier since april to go
missing amid allegations of sex-
ual abuse. the remains of two
missing soldiers were discov-
ered off base June 21 and July

in a statement issued before
fernandes’s family confirmed
his death, the army said that
finding the soldier and “resum-
ing the care he was receiving
before his recent absence re-
mains the top priority of the 1st

as key gauges stay low
By Jaclyn Reiss

the death toll from con-
firmed cases of the coronavirus
in Massachusetts rose by 12 to
8,729, the state department of
public Health reported tues-
day, and the number of con-
firmed cases climbed by 349,
bringing the total to 116,770.
key metrics being moni-
tored by state officials are still
low relative to the springtime
surge, but tuesday’s numbers
come as governor charlie bak-
er said that he expects the state
“to pretty much stay where we
are” in the economy’s reopen-
ing.
the seven-day positivity rate
remained at 1.1 percent, which
baker noted at his news confer-
ence is “good news for the
commonwealth.” baker added
that residents should continue
wearing face coverings, observe
social distancing, and practice
good hygiene.
state officials also reported
tuesday that 22,774 more peo-
ple had been tested for the coro-
navirus, bringing the total
number of individuals tested to
more than 1.6 million. the total
number of tests administered
climbed to over 2.15 million.

Nantucket official urges
caution after two cases
are tied to beach party
By Travis Andersen
globe staff
two recent coronavirus cas-
es on nantucket have been
linked to an aug. 17 beach par-
ty on the island attended by
“many locals,” town Health and
Human services director ro-
berto santamaria said Monday.
santamaria confirmed the
cases in a video address posted
to his agency’s twitter feed. He
encouraged attendees to get
tested as soon as possible and
said contact tracing is under-
way.
“this irresponsible behavior
threatens the safety our island
has enjoyed for the past six
months,” santamaria said.
He urged residents to con-
tinue following safety protocols
such as hand washing, face cov-
erings, and physical distancing,
and cautioned against large
gatherings.
“We are all vulnerable to this
virus,” he said. “now is not the
time to let our guard down.”
He also noted that the island
is entering a more concerning
time as the summer winds
down. during the fall and win-
ter months, he said, “as we hud-
dle indoors and come closer to-
gether the risk for transmission
increases.”
santamaria stressed that re-
specting the virus is potentially
a matter of life and death.
“these precautions will help
prevent that transmission,” he
said. “please do your part, be-
has posted. fernandes makes
light of the effects of untreated
anxiety and depression. He ex-
presses dissatisfaction with mil-
itary service that feels like
“pointless busywork.”
in May, fernandes explained
one of his coping mechanisms
in a meme. it said: “i isolate
myself when i go through [ex-
pletive]. My misery don’t like
company.”
among his many references
to diminished morale, fer-
nandes posted an advertise-
ment for an army green t-shirt
that said: “can’t lower morale if
there isn’t any.”
after specialist vanessa
guillen went missing from the
base april 22, fernandes post-
ed a notice about a $15,000 re-
ward for information leading to
the 20-year-old soldier’s where-
abouts.
before guillen’s remains
were found on July 1, buried
about 20 miles from the base,
the country with respect to per
capita testing — and we plan to
stay there.”
the state reported that new
antibody tests had been com-
pleted for 397 people, bringing
that total to 109,535.
two of the four key metrics
the state is monitoring for the
reopening ticked up, which one
dropped and one stayed stable
in tuesday’s report.
the seven-day weighted av-
erage of positive coronavirus
tests remained at 1.1 percent
Monday for the third consecu-
tive day — the lowest number
observed since the surge in
springtime.
the three-day average of
hospitalized coronavirus pa-
tients ticked up to 317 on Mon-
day from 313 on sunday, which
was the lowest observed value.
the number of hospitals us-
ing surge capacity also rose
slightly from one to two; the
lowest it has been is zero. and
the three-day average of deaths
from confirmed coronavirus
cases fell slightly from 15 on
friday to 13 on saturday. the
lowest that number has been is
11.

but the island, a popular
summer tourist hub, has had
prior issues with gatherings
this season amid the pandemic.
in response, town officials
last month voted during a joint

board of Health and board of
selectmen to mandate that bars
and restaurants close at mid-
night, with an 11:30 p.m. last
call for alcohol. the order did
not apply to restaurants that
don’t serve adult beverages.
santamaria had said during
the joint meeting that many vis-
itors had been seen leaving res-
taurants inebriated after clos-
ing, often without masks or not
observing social distancing.

McMAHON, R.N., Rosemary
(Keefe)
Beloved mother and sister, Rosemary
(Keefe) McMahon R.N. of Lowell, MA,
daughter of the late John J. Keefe and
Rose (Ficco) Keefe, passed peacefully
on August, 20, 2020, at the Age of 88.
Beloved wife of the late Robert
McCoy McMahon; devoted mother
of Bob and his wife, Jennifer Prizer,
McMahon of Charlestown and Martha’s
Vineyard, MA. Rosemary is survived
by brothers, Robert, Raymond, and
Francis Keefe; and dozens of nieces
and nephews from her seven brothers,
including deceased brothers, John,
William, Thomas, and Joseph Keefe.
Rosemary was retired from the
Lowell School Department after many
years in corporate nursing at Raytheon
and Mass Electric and after working for
Lowell Visiting Nurses. “Rosie,” as her
friends and family called her, counted
many lifelong friends who took this
journey of life with her until the very
end.
Often the life of the party, Rosie
enjoyed listening and singing along
with friends to the music of Barbara
Streisand, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin,
Tom Jones and lots of Broadway
and Christmas tunes. On many
Thanksgivings, Rosie and family
welcomed Lowell’s own Ed McMahon
to town, to celebrate the holiday with
family, alongside Ed’s beloved aunt,
Mary Brennan, who also helped to raise
Rosie’s son, Bob.
Rosie’s personal story is one of
strength and resilience. Married to
her husband, Bob, in 1957, a mere
two years later she found herself alone
with her 13 month old son, called
Roby at that time, now Bob, when her
husband passed away due to the polio
outbreak in Lowell in August of 1959.
Her husband got sick on a Friday, was
placed in an iron lung the next day, and
died the following Monday morning. In
that single weekend, life changed most
dramatically for her. With little money
left after her husband’s funeral, Rosie
buckled down and moved forward as
best she could to craft a comfortable life
for her son.
Life would soon test Rosie’s strength
again. When her son was under ten
years of age, Rosie was diagnosed with
Lobar pneumonia and confined to
hospital for three months. It looked
very much like Rosie wouldn’t make
it to those supervising her care. But
she never gave up, came home, quit
smoking completely and never looked
back, enjoying a long career in nursing.
Rosie loved being a nurse. While at
Raytheon, a co-worker suffered a life-
threatening heart attack and was saved
by Rosie’s quick action. A similar event
happened at Mass Electric and one
can only imagine how grateful those
families were that Rosie was there for
them, a nurse, doing what nurses do for
people they’ve never met. Something
we all can surely relate to today, as
we navigate Covid-19 and witness the
strength and resilience of our front
line nurses, doctors and so many other
essential workers from all walks of life.
About eight years ago Rosie
developed Alzheimer’s and was
admitted first to Bayberry at Emerald
Court, an assisted living facility, and
then moved to D’Youville Life and
Wellness Community. As Rosie entered
Bayberry they thought she had about
18 months to live, considering the
quickly developing onslaught of her
Alzheimer’s. But once again she put
up the good fight for seven more
years, aided by the wonderful care she
received at D’Youville in Lowell.
A private celebration of Rosie’s
life took place on Tuesday, August
25th at St Patrick’s Cemetery in
Lowell. E-condolences at www.
odonnellfuneralhome.com. In lieu of
flowers, a donation to fund Alzheimer’s
research would be much appreciated by
Rosie’s family and all who continue to
fight with this horrible disease, https://

STOLTMANN-DORSEY,
Suzanne
Age 86 of Wellesley, MA, passed away
on Tuesday, August 25th after a short
illness. She leaves behind five of her
eight children – Ellen Bond and her
husband, Gerald of Auburn, Frank
Stoltmann and his wife, Leslie of
Raleigh, NC, Christo Z. Free-Stoltmann
and his wife, Cheryl of Everett, WA,
Nan Stoltmann of Quantico, VA and
Matthew Stoltmann, with whom she
lived. She leaves 12 grandchildren and
six great-grandchildren, whom she
adored. She also leaves many nieces,
nephews, other extended family, close
friends and many caring neighbors.
Suzanne was predeceased by her first
husband, Dr. Henry F. Stoltmann, and
second husband, Dr. Joseph Dorsey.
She was also predeceased by her
daughter Paula Hand, sons Andrew
Stoltmann and Gregory Stoltmann,
and grandchildren Stephen Briggs and
Kathryn Stoltmann.
Suzanne was born and raised in
Wilkes-Barre, PA, the daughter of
Joseph B. and Esther (Hoch) Flanagan.
She graduated from Manhattanville
College in 1955, where her yearbook
stated: “Her capacity for action leaves
us breathless but respectful, for no one
could help admiring such attentiveness
to those in need”. Those words would
continue to describe Suzanne’s lifelong
affirmation of the importance of giving
of herself to help others in need.
Suzanne and Henry opened their
hearts and their home to adopt all
eight of their children. While raising
her large family, Suzanne continued
to stay active in community services.
She served as a member of the Board
of Trustees for the Boston Catholic
Television Center, and also served as
President of the Renaissance League, an
organization founded to support unwed
mothers. Suzanne was a volunteer
with Hospice Care of Massachusetts
for 25 years, where she assisted and
befriended caregivers, many kept as
lifelong friends. Her contributions as
an alumnus of Manhattanville College
as class secretary for many years, a
two-year term member of the Alumni
Board and treasurer of the Boston Club,
earned Suzanne their Distinguished
Alumni Award in 1995.
Formal education was of paramount
importance to Suzanne and she made
sure that her eight children had every
opportunity to advance their learning
in the environment most suited to each
of them. She encouraged and supported
her grandchildren’s education with
the same enthusiasm. Suzanne was a
lover of dogs, especially beagles, and
cared for many over the years. Large
family get-togethers were important to
Suzanne, and her family will forever
cherish memories of vacations that she
and Henry would host on Cape Cod
and in Waterville Valley, NH. Suzanne
was an active member of the Wellesley
Country Club and she was proud to
reach her 50 years of membership
milestone in 2019.
Suzanne’s family is forever grateful
for the gentle and loving care that she
received at the Stanley Tippett Hospice
Home in Needham, MA.
A visitation will be held at the
George F. Doherty & Sons Funeral
Home, 477 Washington St. (Rt.16)
on Thursday, August 27, from 3-5pm.

ozier muhammad/the new york times/1999
Ms. Sheehy’s bestseller “Passages” took an indepth look at
how people can evolve in adulthood.
Gail Sheehy, 83, journalist
with anthropologist’s eye
By Harrison Smith
washington Post
gail sheehy, a journalist and
author whose bold prose style,
immersive reporting, and an-
thropologist’s eye for human
behavior made her nearly as
prominent as the subjects she
chronicled in new york maga-
zine, Vanity Fair, and a shelf ’s
worth of books, died monday at
a hospital in southampton, n.y.
she was 83.
the cause was complica-
tions from pneumonia, said her
daughter maura. she added
that her mother had tested neg-
ative for the novel coronavirus
after she was hospitalized, but
that the family was awaiting the
results of a subsequent test.
a vibrant member of the
new york media landscape, ms.
sheehy honed her craft under
legendary editor Clay Felker,
whom she later married; stud-
ied under anthropologist mar-
garet mead, who advised her,
when she was a graduate stu-
dent, to ‘‘drop everything’’ to re-
port on cultural phenomena;
and analyzed the psychology of
presidential candidate robert
F. kennedy, spiritual guru ma-
harishi mahesh yogi, and then-
first-lady hillary Clinton.
the author of 17 books, in-
cluding the 1976 bestseller
‘‘Passages,’’ which was credited
with helping to popularize the
concept of the midlife crisis,
ms. sheehy was initially known
as an original contributor to
new york magazine, which
Felker co-founded in 1968. the
weekly glossy emerged as a bas-
tion of the new Journalism
movement, in which writers
such as tom wolfe, Jimmy
Breslin, nora ephron, and glo-
ria steinem applied the tech-
niques of literary fiction to sto-
ries about real-life events.
For her part, ms. sheehy
crafted long, deeply reported
articles about streetwalkers,
courtesans, the Black Panther
party, and the ‘‘golden men’’ of
new york’s commuting class.
while her earlier newspaper
editors had instructed her to
cover traditional women’s is-
sues such as fashion and home
economics, ms. sheehy became
a star at new york in part by
placing a tape recorder under a
hotel mattress to report on
prostitutes and their clients.
among her earliest coups
was a 1972 cover story about
‘‘Little edie’’ Beale and her
mother, ‘‘Big edie,’’ relatives of
Jacqueline kennedy onassis
who lived in a derelict mansion
on Long island. ‘‘the secret of
grey gardens,’’ as the article
was headlined, spawned a fren-
zy of news coverage, including
the acclaimed documentary
‘‘grey gardens’’ and a Broad-
way musical of the same name.
‘‘her inside-out style of re-
portage made readers feel as if
they were brushing up against
their subjects, an intimacy
achieved through a determina-
tion to leave nothing out,’’ marc
weingarten wrote in ‘‘the gang
that wouldn’t write straight,’’
a history of the new Journalism
movement.
ms. sheehy’s coverage of
times square prostitution —
reported as she dressed in hot
pants and go-go boots, keeping
a tape recorder in a fanny pack
— was cited when new york
w o n a na t i o n a l ma g a z i n e
award for reporting excellence
in 1973 and led newsweek to
dub her ‘‘the hooker’s Boswell.’’
But it also drew criticism af-
ter it was revealed that one of
her most compelling subjects, a
prostitute named redpants,
was a composite character,
stitched together from numer-
ous women whom ms. sheehy
had interviewed for the story.
B7
Felker later said ms. sheehy
had explained her composite
technique early in the story but
he removed the admission be-
cause it disrupted the story’s
narrative.
the episode was sometimes
cited by critics who accused her
of being loose with the facts,
even as they acknowledged her
talent at anticipating social
trends or taking a broad look at
subjects such as menopause (in
her 1992 bestseller, ‘‘the silent
Passage”) or adult develop-
ment, most notably with ‘‘Pas-
sages.’’
ms. sheehy was a single
mother when she began writing
the book after experiencing ‘‘a
breakdown of nerve’’ in her
mid-30s, triggered by a trau-
matic episode in which she saw
a young boy’s face blown off
while interviewing him on as-
signment in northern ireland.
‘‘it never occurred to me that
while winging along in my hap-
piest and most productive
stage, all of a sudden simply
staying afloat would require a
massive exertion of will. or of
some power greater than will,’’
she wrote.
after hearing a lecture on
adult development, she im-
mersed herself in academic
studies and interviewed more
than 100 people, trying to do
for adults ‘‘what gesell and
spock did for children,’’ as she
put it, talking of pediatricians
and researchers arnold gesell
and Benjamin spock. the re-
sulting book was translated in-
to 28 languages.
‘‘miss sheehy reminds us,
not with the detachment of a
Freudian psychoanalyst but
with the fervor of a street-cor-
ner evangelist, of all the recog-
nitions we sneak under the
rug,’’ wrote new york times
book critic anatole Broyard.
‘‘she threatens, rhapsodizes,
nags, exhorts — all for the pur-
pose of waking us up to our pos-
sibilities. if you read ‘Passages,’
you will be in less danger of liv-
ing the unexamined life that so-
crates decried.’’
‘‘Passages’’ spawned a fran-
chise of psychology books for
ms. sheehy but also spurred
controversy when she was sued
for plagiarism by uCLa psychi-
atrist roger gould, who ac-
cused her of lifting one of his
speeches word for word. she
would have fought the suit if
she had the money, she later
said, but settled out of court,
with gould receiving 10 per-
cent of the book’s earnings.
much of her magazine work
was adapted into books, includ-
ing ‘‘Character’’ (1988), which
analyzed President reagan and
the candidates who sought to
succeed him; ‘‘the man who
Changed the world’’ (1990), a
biography of soviet leader
mikhail gorbachev; and ‘‘hil-
lary’s Choice’’ (1999), a portrait
of the former first lady.
those works drew mixed re-
views, with some critics prais-
ing her thorough reporting but
questioning her more sweeping
conclusions. ‘‘gail sometimes
slips into psychobabble,’’ jour-
nalist ken auletta told the
washington Post in 1988.
But she argued that in focus-
ing on psychology, she was pur-
suing something more essential
than standard political report-
ing. ‘‘i didn’t have to write about
politics like the boys do, focus-
ing on the horse race and daily
polls,’’ she said in 2016, deliver-
ing the commencement address
at her alma mater, the universi-
ty of Vermont. ‘‘i could explore
the character of the candidates.
that was the epiphany: issues
are today. Character is what was
yesterday and will be again to-
morrow.’’

and 8. she’s now remarried and lives in concord. we reached her at home
via phone.

Q. so, what’s an exoplanet?

a. an exoplanet is a planet orbiting a star other than the sun. what i like to do family
is remind people that when you go outside at night and look up at the stars,
each one of those stars is a sun. and if our sun has planets, it makes sense

write a memoir?
a. when my first husband, Mike, died, it was literally a transformative experi-
ence and i was motivated to share my story with the world. it was cathartic. i

A
globe correspondent
drianne Mathiowetz didn’t set out to be-
come a baby photographer. but over the
past four months of pandemic restric-
tions, she’s developed a very special niche now we have these beautiful photos to give to family
documenting what is arguably the most
momentous occasion of family life — the addition of a
newborn child.
the twist is that her portraits of new parents and
their babies are all shot through closed windows, for
safe social distancing.
the boston-based portrait and documentary pho-
tographer has a broad resume, and her formal studio
was busy pre-coVid. however, she is currently most
excited about the on-site work she finds herself doing,
capturing a special moment in time. “i always thought
of baby photography as cutesy and warm and nice, but
not all that artistically interesting,” Mathiowetz said.
Baby Carlo with his parents, Katie and Paolo. Top: Baby Hazel,
pictured with her father, Matt.
“but now i feel like there are so many different truths
in it — documenting this family, this broader global
moment. it shows a progression of time, a kind of li-
brary of families going through this, the face of people
being born during a pandemic.”
Mathiowetz said the project makes her nostalgic
for when her own 2-year-old son was an infant. “it
shuttles me back to the time when my own baby was
brand new, when everything was so intimate and sur-
real. this so accurately captures what the first weeks
and months were like, living in such a bubble, even
without coVid. you’re in your home together, just
your little unit, staring into each other’s eyes, not
aware of time passing.”
refracted light and flowers or trees reflected just out-
side the windows. “it gave the photos a kind of magi-
cal frame that softens the edges,” said casey andrews,
one of Mathiowetz‘s first clients on the series. “and
members who won’t get to meet [our baby] for a long
time because of the pandemic.”
one of the Mathiowetz’s greatest challenges is find-
ing access into a suitable room through a window
pane offering the right amount of light and clarity. the
photographer recalled a shoot at one house, built in
the 1890s. “the glass in all these beautiful old win-
dows had melted down, which looks very cool, but out
of focus when you put a lens up to it. we finally found
one 4-by-6-inch pane that had been replaced that i
could work with.”
then there’s the physical challenge of shooting
while standing on a ladder. unless someone has a
porch, even shooting through
most first-floor windows requires
some elevation. “i’m not ready to
do second floors yet,” she said
with a chuckle. and the day we
chatted, she’d just come off a two-
hour session in 90 degree heat.
even though Mathiowetz talks
in depth with clients beforehand
about the process and what she
might encounter in trying to
shoot intimate photos through a
window, she never knows what to
expect until she’s at the home.
she recently posted on insta-
gram, “i love that i go into these
sessions with no idea of what sur-
prises we’ll find along the way;
things the eye can’t see, but the
camera finds. it’s the best kind of
treasure hunt.”
and in fact, the restrictions of
the pandemic have added artistic
depth and emotional resonance
to what might in ordinary times be a routine gig.
“there’s a kind of outside-looking-in feeling,” Mathio-
wetz said. “and because i’m shooting through a win-
dow, i can’t instruct them, so they forget that i’m there
and just interact with each other and i’m a fly on the
wall.”
she added, “with all the intense and scary news
right now, just to be focused on new life coming into
the world — i leave these sessions with so much hope,
like there’s a whole world being born in that house and
a whole new life begun. it’s nice to peer into that.”

Frustration, anger in NBA bubble

Gary Washburn
ON BASKETBALL
ORLANDO — Over the past 48 hours,
several NBA players have watched the
shooting of 29-year-old Black man Jacob
Blake in Kenosha, Wis., and wondered if
they are truly doing enough to make change
and eradicate racism and police brutality.
Blake was shot multiple times in the
back by police officers after he allegedly
tried to settle a dispute and officers were
called to the scene. Blake survived the
shooting but is paralyzed from the waist
down, according to his father.
Protests began that night in Kenosha
and NBA players, primarily Black, who are
sequestered in the bubble as the playoffs
continue, expressed anger, helplessness and
frustration because they are uncertain
whether the messages they have relayed
throughout the past six weeks have had any
impact.
Another Black man was shot by police.
So wearing “Black Lives Matter” T-shirts,
kneeling for the anthem and expressing
their desire to end systematic racism and
police brutality during media sessions ap-
pears to have had no impact.
Toronto guard Fred VanVleet as well as
teammate Norman Powell wanted no part
of questions about the Eastern Conference
semifinal series against the Celtics. Neither
did Boston’s Jaylen Brown and Marcus
Smart.
They are questioning whether their pres-
ence here is making any impact on society
or whether they are just being used as en-

Tampa’s Palat
ends Game 2
early in OT
By Matt Porter
GLOBE STAFF

Lightning 4 The Bruins couldn’t

clear the zone. Ondrej
Bruins 3 Palat finished the job.
This series is tied.
Palat knocked one home 4:40 into
overtime, lifting the Tampa Bay Light-
ning to a 4-3 win in a punch-counter-
punch Game 2 Tuesday night in To-
ronto that left both teams trying to re-
cover for a Game 3 coming in about 21
hours.
“I don’t know any other way to look
at it,” Bruins forward Sean Kuraly said
of the challenge ahead. “We like our
game plan. We like our team.”
They didn’t like the finish. The
fourth line had two chances to clear
the zone. Jaroslav Halak couldn’t
glove a shot and stop the bleeding.
For puck-watchers in New Eng-
land, the focus immediately shifted to
Halak, who stopped 36 of 40 shots.
The 35-year-old, who replaced absent
ace Tuukka Rask, most recently as-
sumed the postseason mantle five
years ago. If he cannot go in Game 3,
former third-stringer Dan Vladar
would make his NHL debut.
“I feel fine,” Halak said, saying he
looked forward to a good night’s rest.
“No one said it was going to be an easy
series.”
Tampa Bay struck the final blow on

There is no telling when the circle of

The Bruins and Lightning are tied, 1-1, through two
games of the Eastern Conference semifinals, but that’s just
the math.
The reality, after the Bolts’ 4-3 overtime win Tuesday
night, is that the Lightning are heavier and faster than the
Bruins, and their franchise goalie, Andrei Vasilevskiy, spent
an easy night on the front-porch rocking chair in Game 2,
facing only 25 shots.
Now Boston coach Bruce Cassidy has to decide whether
to come back with backup-made-starter Jaroslav Halak
with less than 24 hours of rest, or hand Game 3 to Dan Vla-

But Damien Harris was buried on
the Patriots’ depth chart as a rookie
last year, active for only two games
as he sat behind Sony Michel,
James White, Rex Burkhead, and
Brandon Bolden. Harris finished
with just four carries for 12 yards,
all in mop-up duty.
Now he is ready to shake off the
rust and make his mark in his soph-
omore campaign.
“That’s last year,” he said. “It has
nothing to do with this year, it has
nothing to do with what’s going on
right now. All I can focus on is going
out there with the right attitude,
right mind-set, and just try to keep
stacking days together.”
With Michel not practicing while
he’s on the physically unable to per-
form list, and Bolden opting out of
the 2020 season, Harris has been
seeing a ton of work in training
camp, and is trying to make the
most of it.
“There have been a lot of things
that have helped me in my transi-
tion from Year 1 and Year 2,” Harris
said after an active practice Tuesday.
“And every single day I come in with
the mind-set, ‘How can I get better?
What can I do to improve?’ ”
Harris didn’t get much playing
time because Michel, White, Burk-
head, and Bolden stayed healthy,
and he doesn’t contribute much on
special teams.
A powerful running back at 5
feet 11 inches and 213 pounds, Har-
ris said he is far more comfortable
with the offense and the system this
year. But the competition at the po-
sition — the Patriots also have rook-
ie J.J. Tayloras well as veteran Lamar
Miller, who has yet to practice —
doesn’t let Harris get complacent
with any progress.
“The best is demanded of you ev-
ery single day, from your coaches,
from your teammates, from the mo-
ment you walk in to the moment
you walk out,” Harris said. “It’s defi-
nitely not comfortable, because
every day you have to come in and
do just that.”
Welcome back
Julian Edelman’s progress with
Cam Newton stalled a bit Tuesday as
the veteran receiver missed practice
for an undisclosed reason. Edelman
had been putting in a lot of extra
work with Newton off to the side re-
cently.
But the Patriots did receive some
good news when star cornerback
Stephon Gilmore returned to prac-
tice. He had missed five days with
what Bill Belichick said was an ex-
cused absence. The NFL’s COVID-19
testing protocols held up Gilmore’s
return for a few days, but his team-
mates were definitely glad to have
him back.
“Steph is a guy that we all look
up to,” safety Terrance Brooks said.
“I like to have Steph out there be-
cause I can learn from him. Just the
way he covers, the way he goes
about practice, the way he carries
himself.
“It’s always good to get your
brother back in the building. We
definitely missed him. It felt good to
have him out there. You don’t need
to worry about as many receivers
when he’s out there.”

has professed his love for milk many
times over the years, particularly
when he can “feel it run through my
mustache.”
On his YouTube channel, Win-
ovich once visited Liberty Hill Farm
in Vermont for an episode.
“I got the opportunity to meet all
the cows and actually milk some,”
he said. “It was an awesome time. I
really just fell in love with the pro-
cess. Already had a love for milk.
I’ve been tweeting about milk for
years.
“My cousin also is a dairy farmer
in the Pittsburgh region, Lancaster
County, Amish country.”
False but not alarming
The Patriots reportedly were one
of 11 teams affected last weekend
when the NFL had 77 players and
positives because of an error at a
testing lab in New Jersey. The Patri-
ots did not have to push back prac-
tice or have key players sit out like
the Bills, Browns, and Vikings did,
and Belichick said they aren’t wor-
ried about false positives or similar
mishaps in the future.
“From our standpoint, I think
we’re doing the right things,” he said
Monday. “We’ve had really almost
no problems that we have any con-
trol over. Like I said, when we feel
like we need to do something differ-
ently, then we address it or change it
or modify somehow to make it bet-
ter or get it right, and we’ll continue
to do that.”
It’s about to get real
A truncated preseason means
that the teaching portion of camp is
ing up.
There are only 17 days left until
the opener, and Belichick wants to
spend the last 10 days or so game-
planning on the Dolphins. If players
don’t have their assignments down
cold this week, they will be in trou-
ble.
“This will be multiple times — at
least second, third, maybe fourth
time through — on a lot of things
that we’re doing, whether that’s
plays or techniques or situations,
things like that,” he said. “Now, we
really need to see those things start
to come together this week on all
levels in all three phases of the
game.”

tertainment to appease a
sports-hungry audience. Their
pain is evident. Blake is 29 and
regardless of his past, didn’t
deserve to be shot multiple
times in the back.
“Yeah I was pretty excited
[about the series],” VanVleet
said. “And we all had to watch
Jacob Blake get shot yesterday
and that kind of changes the
tone of things and puts things
in perspective. So that’s really
all that’s been on my mind, and

other unfortunate incident.”
It was apparent VanVleet
and several other players didn’t
feel like talking basketball, let
alone the prospect of playing in
a high-level playoff game when
reality for Blacks still involves
fear of the police. After the Lak-
ers’ Game 4 win over the Port-
land Trail Blazers, superstar
forward LeBron James said
Blacks are “terrified” of police
and the possibility of being
killed while doing normal life
things. You can think of these
players as entitled and rich and
disjointed from those who live
in working-class neighbor-
hoods and trying to maintain
even a moderate quality of life
in the pandemic, but they don’t
see themselves that way. They
grew up in these environments
and the pain of that struggle
and the reality of that existence
has never subsided.

VanVleet said his team talk-
ed Tuesday morning and the
possibility to making a stron-
ger stance against racism and
police brutality, which may
even include boycotting a
game, was discussed. This is
not some type of artificial front
to attract attention. Many play-
ers were devastated by the vid-
eo, feeling even worse because
they are confined to the bubble
until their team is eliminated.
“We’re the oppressed ones
and the responsibility falls on
us to make a change to stop be-
ing oppressed,” VanVleet said.
“That’s what it boils down to.

The cynic or the diehard
sports fan will wish and yearn
for VanVleet and his brethren
to temper their emotions, clear
their heads and be ready for
Game 1 Thursday at 6:30. And
while a boycott is highly un-
likely, it must be understood
that the players are question-
ing their impact because they
are not allowed in their com-
munities right now. That’s a
helpless feeling.

question that it faces with vir-
tually every member of the ros-
ter: Is he part of the team’s
foundation or someone whose
greatest impact would come
from whatever player or play-
ers he might bring in return?
The answer is complicated.
It starts with this: How
good is Vazquez?
Since the start of 2019, 38
catchers have had at least 300
plate appearances. Going into
Tuesday’s games, Vazquez was
hitting .273 (sixth in the group)
with a .315 OBP (22nd) and
.468 slugging mark (sixth). De-
fensively, advanced metrics
pegged him as one of the more
impactful catchers, with Base-
ball Prospectus crediting him
with 14 runs saved through his
pitch-framing skills since the
start of 2019, fifth best in base-
ball.
That body of work suggests
an above-average catcher.
Meanwhile, several contending
teams have gotten horrendous
performances from their catch-
ers. In Cleveland, Sandy Leon
is getting most of the playing
time while hitting .119 with a
.503 OPS. Meanwhile, the Rays
(Mike Zunino: .136/.617), the
Blue Jays (Danny Jansen: .138/
.560), and Padres (Austin
Hedges: .149/.556) could use
help.
Evaluators view Vazquez as
an above-average option at the
position. Even so, the degree of
that upgrade is difficult to dis-
cern — especially given that af-
ter a strong opening week of
the season, he’s struggled of-
fensively, going 1 for 5 in the
Red Sox 9-7 win Tuesday to
drop to .255/.284/.418.
“I’m still seeing a really
good defensive catcher. We
think he’s done a great job back
there. Offensively, he hasn’t
been quite as good as he was
last year,” said Red Sox manag-
er Ron Roenicke. “He’s just not
locked in like he was a year
ago.”

Christian Vazquez will have
to wait and see if he is
traded before the deadline.
deadline, that late perfor-
mance dip matters. Pitchers
—especially relievers — tend to
fetch peak trade value when
dealt midseason because of
their obvious ability to plug
holes at a time when alterna-
tives are limited. But catchers
don’t necessarily bring the
same additive value because of
the uniqueness of their roles.
Typically, catchers require
weeks or even months to be-
come familiar with a staff.
Their skills as pitch-framers or
game-callers won’t necessarily
become evident if they change
teams midseason.
Remarkably, it’s been 23
years since a catcher who was
traded midseason ended up
starting a World Series game
for a team that won a champi-
onship. In 1997, the Marlins
acquired Darren Daulton from
the Phillies in July and leaned
on him as an anchor en route
to a title. In 121 subsequent
World Series games by the last
22 champions, none was start-
ed by a player acquired mid-
year.
“It’s tough,” Vazquez said of
a catcher who changes teams
mid-year. “ You don’t know
[anybody] on that new team. I
know everybody here. I know
what pitches work, what pitch-
es don’t work. But a new team,
you need to ask a lot of ques-
tions to those pitchers. You feel
like a rookie on a new team.
You’re quiet. I hope that’s not
my case.”
In its own right, that reluc-
Sports C3
tance — a reflection of the chal-
lenge presented to a traded
catcher — gives some insight
into why the trade value of
Vazquez may not be sufficient
to motivate a deal.
Yes, there will probably be
some interest in the Red Sox
catcher.
But the view of him as a dif-
ference-maker may be mea-
sured. Certainly, a case can be
made that Vazquez has more
value to the Sox over 2021-22
than he would to another team
that acquired him now.
Then again, it only takes
one team to take a different
view — particularly given the
still-fresh impressions of
Vazquez as an anchor for the
Red Sox in the 2018 postsea-
son. And certainly, there is
precedent for catchers to fetch
a considerable return.
In 2016, the Brewers dealt
Jonathan Lucroy to the Rang-
ers at the trade deadline for
prospects Lewis Brinson and
Luis Ortiz. A year and a half
later, Brinson became a center-
piece in Milwaukee’s deal for
Christian Yelich. The trade
played a key role in vaulting
Milwaukee to contention in
2018-19.
Lucroy played well with the
Rangers — who reached the
ALDS — in 2016. But the next
year, his production fell off
drastically and he was dealt to
Colorado for a minor leaguer
who has yet to progress above
A ball. That deal underscored
that the Brewers parted with a
veteran catcher when his value
was at its absolute peak, just
before it endured a precipitous
decline.
Now, the Sox are tasked
with a similar calculus — try-
ing to decide whether Vazquez
best fits into their future as an
anchor behind the plate or as
the anchor of a deal who can
bring back young talent, a
crossroads that he surely never
imagined when he signed his
long-term deal with the Sox.

Suitors impressed in Red Sox victory
Moreland leads
the 13-hit attack
By Peter Abraham
GLOBE STAFF
Red Sox 9 BUFFALO — As
Monday’s trade
Blue Jays 7 deadline creeps
closer, watching the last-place
Red Sox has become an exercise
in evaluating the value of cer-
tain players in the market with
an occasional glance at the
scoreboard to see who is win-
ning.
Contending teams have to
be bullish on Mitch Moreland,
who drove in two more runs in
Tuesday night’s 9-7 victory
against the Toronto Blue Jays at
Sahlen Field.
Moreland’s OPS is up to
1.274 after going 2 for 3 with
two walks. It’s time for teams to
make Chaim Bloom their best
offers on him.
“We constantly fought back,”
Moreland said after the Sox ral-
lied from a 4-0 first-inning defi-
cit. “I think this game was good
for us. It’s something we’ve
been trying to do all year and
hadn’t been able to do it. To-
night we were able to.”
The way Jackie Bradley Jr.
sprinted to first base in the
fourth inning to pick up an in-
field hit and drive in a run with
two outs had to leave an im-
pression on evaluators watch-
ing from home. His swings have
improved significantly in the

Brewer pitches in to
help where needed

GLOBE STAFF
BUFFALO — Prior to this
season, Colten Brewer had not
started a game since 2016
when he was a
RED SOX Single A pros-
NOTEBOOK pect in the Pi-
rates organiza-
tion.
But being a pitcher with the
2020 Red Sox means anything
is possible.
Brewer is scheduled to make
his third start of the season
Wednesday night when he fac-
es the Toronto Blue Jays. He’ll
be filling in for Nate Eovaldi,
who was pushed back to Satur-
day because of a lingering
cramp in his right calf.
The Sox have used 11 start-
ers through 30 games, seven of
whom had not started a game
in the majors before this sea-
son. Manager Ron Roenicke
has become numb to the con-
stant change.
“It’s been quite different for
me and [pitching coach Dave
Bush], no question,” he said be-
fore the Red Sox’ 9-7 victory. “It
seems like we’ve made a lot of
changes along the way. We’re
kind of used to the changes. It
doesn’t seem unusual any more
when we’re inserting a starter
or pushing somebody back.
That’s just the way it is.”
Brewer, 27, was being pre-
pared as a long reliever when
spring training was halted by
the pandemic. That continued
when the Sox got back together
in July.
Brewer has a 3.50 ERA over
18 innings in nine games. He
pitched four scoreless innings
against Baltimore on Friday.
“I’m fairly getting comfort-
able with it,” Brewer said.
“With relieving you only get
that one-inning chance. At least
with a start you get another
chance to go back out there. I
can get more feel the more in-
nings I go.”
Brewer has more or less a
set role and wants to see where
it takes him.
“It’s more necessity that
we’re doing this,” Roenicke
said. “Not to say that he can’t
do it. I think that’s why we’re
experimenting. But he’s filling
in.
“He’s got enough stuff. He’s
got a really good fastball, obvi-
ously the great curveball and he
throws a slider that’s been an
Blue Jays center fielder Teoscar Hernandez was not able to get a glove on a double off the
bat of Christian Vazquez that helped fuel a six-run sixth inning for the Red Sox.
13-hit attack by the Sox. A good
catcher can help a team in
many ways.
One of those relievers, Ryan
Brasier, fired a perfect eighth
inning that included nine fast-
balls of 97 miles-per-hour or
faster. Contenders can never
have enough relief help.
It’s hard to imagine the Red
Sox further annoying their fan
base by trading shortstop Xan-
der Bogaerts, who took a dis-
count when he agreed to a con-
tract extension last year. But he
was 3 for 5 with a double, con-
tinuing what has been an excel-

impact pitch. We like what he’s
doing.”
Righthander Chris Mazza,
who last pitched Aug. 16, will
return to the rotation and start
Thursday night.
Eovaldi held back
Eovaldi felt pain in his calf
over the weekend after pitching
a season-high seven innings
Thursday against Baltimore.
“I was playing catch and
when I threw the ball I felt I
grab,” Eovaldi said.
Eovaldi walked it off and
thought he was fine but it hap-
pened again on the second
pitch of his bullpen session
Sunday.
“Two was enough for me,”
Eovaldi said. “I don’t think it’ll
keep me out that long. We’re
playing it safe.”
Eovaldi is 2-2 with a 4.98
ERA. The Sox are 4-2 in the
games he has started.
Eovaldi is signed through
2022 at $17 million a season.
He has a 5.65 ERA since sign-
ing the extension and the Sox
would likely welcome moving
him in a trade, even if they
have to pick up a portion of his
remaining salary.
Eovaldi has been traded
three times in his career and
has learned not to sweat the
trade deadline.
T h e B o s t o n
lent season.
Then there’s Kevin Pillar,
who was 0 for 5 against his for-
mer team and was downcast ev-
ery time he went back to the
dugout. One game doesn’t de-
tract from what has been a pro-
ductive season for him, but per-
formances will be magnified
this week.
The Red Sox reached the
halfway point of the season 10-
20 but have won four of their
last six games. Tuesday was
their first game in Buffalo since
July 6, 1917, when they beat
the Buffalo Bison, also 9-7.

“It’s part of baseball,” he
said. “I feel like anybody can be
traded at any given time. I try
not to think about that at all. If
I go out there thinking about
being traded I can’t do my job.
If we were playing better no-
body would be getting traded.”
Pivetta a possibility
Roenicke indicated that
Nick Pivetta could soon be add-
ed to the roster. The righthand-
er is one the pitchers the Sox
acquired from the Phillies for
Heath Hembree and Brandon
Workman last week . . . Andrew
Benintendi, who hasn’t played
since Aug. 11 because of a rib
cage strain, is still undergoing
treatment and has yet to start
baseball activities. The medical
staff told Roenicke it was hard
to say when he would be back .
. . Travis Shaw, who started at
third for Toronto, left the game
in the second inning with right
knee discomfort . . . The Rang-
ers released former Red Sox
catcher and outfielder Blake
Swihart from their minor
league camp. Swihart has hit
.136 in 31 major league games
since the Sox traded him to the
Diamondbacks before the 2019
season.

These teams appear
to have hit on rivalry
By Matt Porter
GLOBE STAFF
The Lightning aren’t the Ca-
nadiens or the Maple Leafs, or
even the Rangers, but the Bru-
ins have plenty
BRUINS of reasons to
NOTEBOOK dislike them.
“It’s the
cream of the crop going at each
other,” coach Bruce Cassidy
said before Game 2 Tuesday. “I
do consider it a rivalry. You’re
always going to have the Origi-
nal Six; that’s not going away
any time soon. But the modern
day — I look at like with Boston
and Pittsburgh earlier in the
decade. They had some good
matchups, good playoff match-
ups. Two good teams that were
winning, top-end players.”
And as in any good playoff
series, there is some hard-
edged, hateful play. Cassidy
made no lineup changes for the
second go-round with the
Lightning, which meant his
fourth-line attack dogs — Joa-
kim Nordstrom, Sean Kuraly,
and Chris Wagner — were on
the hunt again.
Nordstrom leads the series
with 14 hits through two
games. Kuraly has 12. Wagner
had five in Game 1.
“Good, solid contact,” Cassi-
dy said before puck drop, not-
ing how well the other two read
off the first forechecker. “They
reload for one another. When
one guy is finishing a check, a
couple other guys are probably
taking a read on, ‘Well, is he on
the right side of the puck after
the check? Did the puck ad-
vance up the ice or did they go
back with it?’
“There’s different ways. You
can string three or four hits to-
gether if your forecheck is on
time. If the puck moves up the
ice, then it’s one and done and
the other guys have to make
sure they’re in good defensive
posture and probably check
with their legs or their stick or
both.”
Tampa Bay hasn’t been shy
about playing the body, with its
mashers skating on different
units. Boston led the hit pa-
rade, 46-43, in Game 2. Like
Game 1, the teams were match-
ing each other, hit for hit.
“You’re trying to kind of
mark your territory, so to
speak,” Cassidy said.
Piece missing
In a brief pregame press
conference, Lightning coach
Jon Cooper wasn’t giving any-
thing away regarding his major
absence on the back end.
Toward the end of the Zoom
session, he was asked who
could go in for Ryan McDon-
agh, who was injured during
Game 1.
“You’ll have to tune in,” Coo-
per replied. “7:10 puck drop,
Eastern time.”
McDonagh, who took a
third-period hit from Connor
Clifton, typically plays 23-25
minutes a night.
Cooper went with 11 for-
wards and seven defensemen,
and got some bang for his buck.
Luke Schenn, seeing his first
playoff action since 2016, con-
tributed two shots, seven at-
tempts, and four hits in just
12:30. Braydon Coburn was
less noticeable in 13:55 (three
giveaways).
Reasonably fresh
Cassidy felt his team came
out of Game 2 reasonably fresh.

“We were pretty good I
thought, balanced,” Cassidy
said, referring to ice time. “On-
ly a five-minute overtime . . . no
injuries. We didn’t really have
to double-shift anybody. So that
part of our recovery should be
OK.”
Brandon Carlo skated 17:30
in Game 1, and his 13:42 at
even strength was greater than
only Clifton. Carlo and partner
Torey Krug spiked in Game 2,
both rising above 24 minutes.
Meanwhile, Charlie McAvoy
was down a bit, skating 23:53,
and Cassidy saved Zdeno
Chara’s legs (17:27). With
back-to-backs Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week and
next week, if Games 6 and 7 are
needed, keeping the D-corps
sprightly is a priority.
Particularly since Cassidy is
asking for more production.
He sees Tampa Bay’s defend-
ers collapsing in front of the
net, so he wants his defense-
men to think more like the
Lightning do at the other end:
They love to put pucks on net.
The Boston back line contribut-
ed eight shots in Game 2, and
execution at the offensive blue
line is hardly on-point in the
coach’s eyes.
“I think we’re capable of
more, absolutely,” he said. “We
need more.”
Effort is there
Ondrej Kase was limited to
one shot in Game 2, after lead-
ing the Bruins in five-on-five
shots (four) and scoring chanc-
es (seven) during Game 1.
Three of those came from in
close.
For the postseason, Kase
and Jake DeBrusk were tied for
the team lead in five-on-five
scoring chances, 21 each.
In addition to being a reflec-
tion on their doggedness and
the work of setup man David
Krejci, it was reflective of Kase’s
frustration. DeBrusk has
cashed in on three of his chanc-
es, Kase zero.
“As long as we’re winning
and you’re getting your chanc-
es, typically you’re comfortable
with your game,” said Cassidy,
not bothered by the zero next
to Kase’s name. “It certainly
hasn’t affected his demeanor.
He’s always in a good mood
around the rink.
“I don’t think it’s affected his
play away from the puck. We’re
still getting to know all his de-
tails of his game. We haven’t
seen him a lot. Work ethic, sec-
ond effort on the puck contin-
ues to be there every day. That’s
what we need out of him.
“Like I said, hopefully he
catches a break here and gets
one to go for him because he
might be that streaky guy like
Jake when he gets hot.”

Lightning had the better of play
for most of the night (shots: 40-

high-danger shots: 15-6) and
dominated overtime, outshoot-

“We had good looks,” said
Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy,
who said he would sleep on his
goaltending decision. “ We
didn’t have the volume of at-
tempts. We had point-blanks in
the slot . . . There wasn’t the
quantity of plays, like our tying
goal.”
The Bruins sent it to OT
thanks to the timely work of
Brad Marchand, David Pas-
trnak, and . . . Kuraly, who is
just as much of a puck hound
as Patrice Bergeron.
The Bruins hunting for the
tying goal in the final minutes
of the third, Pastrnak forced a
turnover in the slot and fed an
open Kuraly, who was stuck out
for a long shift. He calmly sent

debut. No pressure there, right?
A couple of weeks later, fran-
chise goalie Tuukka Rask’s de-
parture from the Toronto bub-
ble now weighs heavier than a
load of Newcastle coal on the
Black and Gold. This is precise-
ly the spot where a team wants
its best in net. But now it’s the
backup or . . . the backup to the
backup.
Seconds before the winning
strike by Ondrej Palat — on a
sequence that included more
Boston breakdowns than the
old Central Artery at rush hour
— Halak failed to glove a shot
that whizzed by just wide of the
right post. Seconds later, the
puck squibbed from left to right
through the slot and the on-
rushing Palat knocked it inside
the right post from short range.
A different ending, a Boston
win, virtually would have guar-
anteed Vladar being in there
for Game 3 and asked to shep-
herd a 2-0 series lead. Now
Cassidy has to make a decision,
one all the harder with the
Lightning playing with more
pluck, more pace, more confi-
dence, and the Five Hour Ener-
gy boost that comes from an OT
win. Dan Vladar, Boston’s new
Bobby Sprowl. Maybe.
Halak, of course, talked in
the postgame interview about
being ready to go in Game 3.
Every goalie will say that. At
least any goalie with pride and
dignity. But keep in mind, the
Bolts fired at him 85 times, and
though only 40 made it to the
net, that’s a lot of heat over 65
minutes. Vasilevskiy, mean-
while, only had to track 54 Bos-
ton attempts, of which only 25

stretch pass from defenseman
Victor Hedman with a change-
up of a shot, partially blocked
by a late-arriving Clifton.
The game was 1-1 after one,
2-2 after two, 3-3 after three,
and a heavy game throughout.
The Bruins went ahead al-
most by accident, when Tampa
defenseman Zach Bogosian
busted his stick on a shot at-
tempt at the point. The Anders

Ritchie line rush the other way,
and Ritchie was credited with
his first playoff goal since 2017
(with Anaheim) at 3:14 of the
first. Tampa was upset with the
hacking in front, but netmind-
er Andrei Vasilevskiy never had
the puck covered.
A team’s video review staff
isn’t often mentioned. But the
Bruins’ Mathew Myers and
Hunter C herni deser ved a
shout-out in Game 2. Before
Barclay Goodrow’s would-be ty-
ing deflection 5:04 into the
first, they noticed Tampa was a
hair offside. Brayden Point, at
the end of his shift, was guilty
of gliding out of the zone as
Palat hustled in. Myers and
Cherni saw the violation and
risked the minor penalty by
telling Cassidy to challenge.
Tampa Bay coach Jon Coo-
per, minutes after his team
went down by a goal on a bad
break, was not convinced.
Cameras caught him apparent-
ly shouting, “You [expletive]
guessed!” at officials.
Bogosian got it back in stun-
made it his way.
“It was a shot from my left
side,” said Halak, noting the ini-
tial shot that eluded his stab. “I

catch it, but they tried a wrap-

Columbus Blue Jackets
coach John Tortorella has been
fined $25,000 for his conduct
during a media
NHL session after
NOTEBOOK his team was
eliminated
from the playoffs, the NHL an-
nounced Tuesday.
Following the Tampa Bay
Lightning’s Game 5 victory
over the Blue Jackets, Tor-
torella ended his video news
conference after two questions,
got up, and walked away.
“I’m not going to get into the
touchy-feely stuff and the mor-
al victories and all that,” he told
reporters. “You guys be safe.”
In handing down the fine,
the NHL was collecting on a
“conditional” one issued after
Tortorella criticized officials
and the league for what he per-
ceived as a time-keeping error
in a Dec. 29 loss to Chicago. He
was required to go the rest of
the year without any conduct
offenses to avoid the fine.
Kapanen to Penguins
The Penguins began retool-
ing, acquiring forward Kasperi
Kapanen from the Maple Leafs,
reuniting the 24-year-old with
the team that drafted him with
the 22nd overall pick in 2014.
The Leafs sent Kapanen,
well-traveled forward Pontus
Aberg, and defensive prospect
Jesper Lindgren to the Pen-
guins for Pittsburgh’s first-
round pick in this year’s draft
as well as forward Evan Rodri-
gues, defenseman David War-
sofsky, and Swedish forward
Filip Hallander.
Kapanen posted career
highs in goals (20) and assists
(24) in 2018-19.
Stars take 2-0 lead
Alexander Radulov scored
on a deflection off his chest as
part of a four-goal second peri-
od and the Stars beat the Ava-
lanche, 5-2, Monday in Edmon-
ton, Alberta, to take a 2-0 lead
in the second-round series.
Trailing, 2-0, in the second,
Joe Pavelski and Radek Faksa
revitalized the Stars by scoring
in a 43-second span during a
five-on-three advantage.
Radulov knocked in the go-
ahead goal when a shot
bounced off a stick, into his
chest, and over Pavel Francouz.

even in mixed-race and pre-
dominantly white neighbor-
hoods, Black homeowners say,
their homes are consistently
appraised for less than those of
their neighbors, stymying their
path toward building equity
and further perpetuating in-
come equality in the united
states.
home appraisers are bound
by the Fair housing act of 1968
to not discriminate based on
race, religion, national origin
or gender. appraisers can lose
their license or even face prison
time if they are found to pro-
duce discriminatory appraisals.
title Xi of the Financial institu-
tions reform, recovery and
enforcement act, enacted in
1989, also binds appraisers to a
standard of unbiased ethics
and performance.

abena horton said. “i know
what the issue was. and i knew
what we needed to do to fix it,
because in the Black communi-

that you take your pictures

house. But i didn’t think i had
to worry about that with an ap-
praisal.”

horton shared her experi-
ment in a widely circulated
Facebook post, earning 25,000
shares and more than 2,000
comments, many of which
came from Black homeowners
and carried the same message:
this also happened to me.
in each comment, a repeat-
ed theme: home appraisers,
who work under codes of ethics
but with little regulation and
oversight, are often all that
stands between the accumula-
tion of home equity and the de-
struction of it for Black ameri-
cans.
in 2000, actor and comedi-
an d.l. hughley had an ap-
praisal on his home in the mon-
tevista estates neighborhood of
west hills, a primarily white
area in the san Fernando Valley
in los angeles. despite a
steady uptick in the housing
market and the addition of a
pool and new hardwood floors,
the house was appraised for
nearly what he had bought it
for three years earlier —
$500,000.
in hughley’s case, his bank
flagged the report.
chibuokem ebuka signed
on with kwg in april and has
already completed a website de-
velopment job. ebuka lives in
enugu, a city of about 700,000
in southeastern nigeria, and is
completing a degree in elec-
tronics engineering at the uni-
versity of nigeria. to get a job in
the country’s technology sector,
he’d have to move to a big city
such as abuja or lagos, which
are expensive.
“you could almost think of it
as life in silicon Valley if you
think of the cost of living,” he
said. Besides, a full-time job
would interfere with his school-
ing. “i like the idea of freelanc-
ing at least for now,” ebuka
said. “it allows me to manage
my schedule better.”
wahome hopes to recruit
hundreds more like ebuka and
to complete at least 200 soft-
ware development projects for
overseas clients over the next
decade.

“they were like, this has to
be some kind of mistake be-
cause in order for your house to
have come in this low, it would
have to be in some level of dis-
repair,” hughley said.
the bank ordered a new ap-
praisal, which came back
$160,000 higher, and hughley
went on to sell the home for
$770,000.
in hughley’s case, the ap-
praiser was fired. horton has
filed a complaint with the de-
partment of housing and ur-
ban development. when con-
tacted about her case, hud
said it had been assigned to the
Jacksonville human rights
commission. the agency added
that it receives a handful of
similar complaints each year.
in 2018, researchers from
gallup and the Brookings insti-
tution published a report on
the widespread devaluation of
Black-owned property in the
united states, which they dis-
cussed in a 2019 hearing before
the house Financial services
subcommittee. the report
found that a home in a majority
Black neighborhood is likely to
be valued for 23 percent less
than a near-identical home in a
majority-white neighborhood;
it also determined this devalua-
tion costs Black homeowners
$156 billion in cumulative loss-
es.
many appraisers, both dur-
ing the hearing and in the
weeks after, defended their
practice, noting that it is their
job to report on local market
conditions, not set them.
“is there a problem with
poor and underserved commu-
nities in the united states? yes.
is it the appraisal profession’s
fault? no,” wrote maureen
sweeney, a chicago-based ap-
praiser in a letter to the house
subcommittee following the
hearing. “it’s like blaming the
canary for the bad air in the
coal mine, or blaming the mir-
ror for your bad hair day. ap-
praisers reflect the market; we
do not create it.”

Economic turmoil
hits bank profits
By Ken Sweet

neW yorK — the us
banking industry’s second
quarter profits fell by 70 per-
cent from a year ago, the fdic
said tuesday, as low interest
rates and the economic tur-
moil of the coVid-19 pan-
demic weighed heavily on big
and small banks alike.
total bank profits across
5,066 insured institutions
were $18.8 billion, compared
with profits of $62.5 billion in
the same period a year ago.
this was the second consecu-
tive quarter of steep profit de-
clines as banks set aside bil-
lions to cover potentially bad
loans back in april.
Most of the profit decline is
tied directly to the pandemic.
banks are now facing tens of

but are now in forbearance or
deferral because those bor-
rowers can no longer pay. fur-
ther, the federal reserve has
slashed interest rates to near
zero once again to stimulate
the economy, which limits
what money banks can charge
for loans.
bank profits were bol-
stered slightly by the Pay-
check Protection Program, the
$480 billion stimulus pro-
gram for small businesses
who needed help covering
payroll in the first months of
the pandemic. that program
came in the form of bank
loans, and each bank took a
small fee for each application
they processed.
despite tumbling profits,
the fdic said it did not see
any systemic issues in the in-
dustry. banks have taken in
record deposits in the quarter.

Lobby behind bid for business shield

By Aaron Gregg
and Douglas MacMillan
Washington Post
Washington — as the
coronavirus spiraled into a pub-
lic health crisis this spring
america’s largest business lob-
by identified a critical goal:
making sure businesses don’t
face legal penalties when new
flare-ups in offices, storefronts
and factory floors put people in
danger.
the us chamber of com-
merce’s institute for legal re-
form wrote draft legislation de-
signed to shield companies
from liability related to the pan-
demic and distributed it to state
and federal lawmakers, accord-
ing to a top executive. it found a
welcome audience on capitol
hill. senate republicans have
since proposed and ardently de-
fended a set of liability provi-
sions that appeared in the
chamber’s draft legislation, al-
though the final proposed ver-
sion, called the safe to Work
act, contained numerous provi-
s io n s t h e c ham be r ha dn’ t
flagged.
the chamber says it is try-
ing to pre-empt what it believes
will be a coming wave of coro-
navirus-related lawsuits.
‘‘ What we’re concerned
about, and advocating for with
congress, is you don’t want to
wait until all the cases are filed .
. . you have to deal with this be-
forehand,’’ said Matthew Webb,
senior vice president for legal
reform policy at the chamber,
in a teleconference that was re-
corded and uploaded on June 1
to youtube on the account of a
texas chamber of commerce.
Webb’s comments offer a
rare glimpse at the integral role
being played by lobbyists as
congress looks for ways to ad-
dress the economic crisis. in the
weeks after the pandemic took
hold, lobbying groups repre-
senting a diverse array of cli-
ents including doctors, enter-
tainment venues, riverboat op-
erators, and others sent
unsolicited draft legislation to
top republicans, according to
lobbyists and a congressional
aide. the chamber, through a
working group it convened, has
played a leading role.
the chamber wrote draft
legislation that set a high bar
for coronavirus lawsuits and
ensured that the chamber-pro-
posed language would take pre-
cedence over plaintiff-friendly
state laws, Webb said in the
youtube video. and it capital-
ized on long-standing relation-
ships with top republicans as it
worked to get its priorities writ-
ten into law.
Webb said the chamber
worked ‘‘very closely’’ with sen-
ate majority leader Mitch Mc-
connell and senator John
cornyn, republican of texas,
on ‘‘what [liability] reforms
might look like in their pack-
age.’’ he predicted republican
lawmakers would rely heavily
on the draft legislation given to
them.
drew brandewie, a spokes-
man for cornyn, said his office
distributed a first draft of its
own May 6 and started working
on coronavirus liability issues
‘‘two months before the cham-
ber claims to have written our
bill.’’ brandewie also listed sev-
eral business-friendly provi-
sions of the safe to Work act
that weren’t in the chamber’s
draft.
in response to a request for
comment on Webb’s state-
ments, chamber of commerce
institute for legal reform pres-
ident harold Kim said the
chamber is focused on ensur-
ing that the economic recovery
isn’t ‘‘overtaken by opportunis-
tic lawsuits.’’
the issue has become a
sticking point in stalled negoti-
ations over a new federal relief
package. senate republicans
have said they will refuse to ne-
gotiate over coronavirus liabili-
ty protections, and will not
agree to any deal that doesn’t
include them.
‘‘[ t ]ying kids, jobs, and
healthcare all together, senator
cornyn has authored strong le-
gal liability protections so that
nurses, doctors, charities,
school districts, colleges, and
employers can spend their next
months actually reopening
rather than fighting for their
lives against frivolous lawsuits,’’
Mcconnell said in a statement.
asked for comment on the
chamber’s influence over the
process, a Mcconnell spokes-
man referred to the senator’s
earlier statement on liability.
b u t t h e W h i t e ho u s e —
which has occasionally defied
the business lobby on issues
such as trade and immigration
— has wavered on the issue, at
one point expressing openness
to cutting a deal with demo-
crats. Most recently, treasury
secretary steven Mnuchin said
his office agrees with Mccon-
nell on the need for a liability
shield. no deal has yet material-
ized.
speaking weeks before the
republican-sponsored bill was
introduced, Webb went on to
describe a detailed set of policy
proposals eventually included
in the republican-sponsored
legislation. they include impos-
ing a higher standard of evi-
dence than exists for most civil
lawsuits, requiring the plaintiff
to prove claims based on ‘‘clear
and convincing evidence.’’ and
both bills are constructed so
that state laws will take prece-
dence when they restrict liabili-
ty even more than the national
one.
but businesses that are prov-
en to have acted recklessly can
still be penalized for gross neg-
ligence under both the republi-
can-sponsored bill and the draft
legislation shared by the cham-
ber of commerce. that term
usually refers to intentional or
knowing disregard, something
that can be difficult to prove.
the close relationship the
chamber has with congressio-
nal republicans is unparalleled
in many ways. the lobbying or-
ganization is the highest-spend-
ing lobbying group on capitol
hill: it spent $881 million on
lobbying over the past decade,
according to data compiled by
the center for responsive Poli-
tics. that was more than the
next two biggest spenders, the
national association of real-
tors and blue cross blue shield,
combined.
the chamber of commerce,
through its employees, mem-
bers and affiliated political ac-
tion groups, has given over
$31,000 to Mcconnell’s current
re-election campaign.

purveyor is more well-known around
these parts than Gorton’s seafood.
founded in 1849 in Gloucester, the
friendly fisherman in the yellow raincoat
is enjoying new prominence during the pan-
demic.
executives say that overall sales are up 25
percent since March through July, and fish stick
sales alone are up 30 percent in pounds —
which translates to about 58 million more fish
sticks sold than during ordinary times. Mean-
while, the company is updating its recipes for a
more discriminating crowd. they have ditched
minced-pollack sticks for fatter whole fillets, fo-
cusing on alaskan pollack that’s frozen shortly
after it’s caught. the result is a stretchy, almost
creamy and crunchy breaded stick — i tried
some, in the interest of research — with a
snacky taste.

French clafoutis, filled with summer fruits,

couldn’t be simpler to make
the french baked custard with fruit, called clafoutis
(cla-foo-tee), is as easy as a dessert gets. you whir similar
ingredients to pancakes — eggs, milk, flour, and sugar —
and pour the batter over fruits in a baking dish. the origi-
nal clafoutis comes from limousin in south-central france,
where cherries (unpitted) went into the dish. unless you
stop by a farmhouse in the limousin region, you won't find
it made that way. Clafoutis can be baked with a variety of
fruits, such as apples, pears, and plums. here, the bottom
of the dish is filled with raspberries, strawberries, blueber-
ries, cut-up peaches, and quartered figs. We use more fruit
than a typical clafoutis so it's hard to cut the dessert into
wedges. but you get all those beautiful summer tastes sur-
rounded by an eggy custard (some cooks compare it to
flan).
to prepare the clafoutis in advance, make the batter and
refrigerate it; overnight is fine. spread the fruits in a well-
buttered dish and refrigerate them too. When it's time to
bake, let both come to room temp and pour the batter into
the dish. Clafoutis puffs nicely in the oven and deflates im-
mediately (as quickly as a souffle). nothing you can do
about that. Just sprinkle it with confectioners' sugar and
serve it with a big spoon. it's juicy and custardy and a very
welcome summer dessert.

Summer Fruit Clafoutis

Serves 6

Butter (for the dish)

3 eggs
1½ cups whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Grated rind of 1 lemon
½ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup flour
¼ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
3 cups mixed summer fruits (blueberries, strawberries,
raspberries, cut-up peaches, quartered figs)
confectioners' sugar (for sprinkling)

1. set the oven at 350 degrees. generously butter a deep 10-inch

baking dish (2-quart capacity).
2. in a blender, combine the eggs, milk, vanilla, lemon rind, and sug-
ar. Work until the mixture is smooth. add the flour, baking powder,
and salt. Work again until the mixture is smooth.
3. spread the berries in the baking dish. Pour the egg mixture on
top. transfer to the oven.
4. bake the mixture for 40 to 45 minutes, or until it is set and golden
and puffed.
5. sprinkle with confectioners' sugar (the clafoutis deflates quickly)
and serve with a large spoon. Sheryl Julian

Delicious and playful, these canned reds redefine local

By Ellen Bhang
globe correspondent
during a summer of upended rou-
tines, local producers are staying the
course with lighthearted wines conve-
niently packaged in aluminum cans.
but don’t let the easy-breezy format
fool you. beneath every stay-tab is a
story of determination, grit, and an
ability to roll with the punches.
california winemaker James da-
vids and massachusetts native marissa
stashenko are the couple behind an-
chor & hope, a rhode island-based né-
gociant. after their son was born in
2018, the pair left the bay area to em-
brace a more relaxed pace of life in
providence, setting up their business
in a former copper wire mill in rum-
ford. “We launched with just kegs, but
then coVid changed our focus,” ex-
plains davids, who planned to supply
restaurants with wines on tap. “cans
were on our horizon,” adds stashenko,
explaining that they were already talk-
ing with iron heart canning, a new
hampshire-headquartered mobile
canning company. “but coVid was
the push.”
today, in the midst of the pandem-
ic, you’ll see four-packs called nico &
laura on shop shelves. “i met nico
playing mini-golf at a wine festival,” re-
calls davids, who in the mid-2000s
was working as a winemaker in ger-
many, nearby nico espenschied’s vil-
lage. this led to a cross-atlantic friend-
ship for the two winemakers and their
families. (laura is nico’s wife.) Wines
are a true collaboration. espenschied
ships his rheinhessen-grown, single-
vineyard pours in light, reusable
1,000-liter containers to the ocean
state; davids and stashenko age and
package the wine in east providence.
the whole arrangement is gentler on
the environment, given the easy recy-
clability of aluminum cans, and the
lower carbon footprint associated with
transporting wine in food-grade poly-
ethylene versus heavy glass bottles.
real people are also behind another
delicious canned pour. the russell

the late 1980s, not long after bob and
carol russell established their south
coast farm.
the russells show their playful side
with farmer’s fizz. a prosecco-style
white in the lineup was recently joined
by a red, made by winemaker marco
montez, formerly of travessia urban
Winery in new bedford. these wines
are canned at the winery, also by iron
heart canning. the juicy red is crafted
from marquette, a cold-hardy, univer-
sity of minnesota-bred grape. rob rus-
sell, in charge of vine growing, decided
to replant one plot with the complex
american hybrid after a blizzard dam-
aged vinifera vines in february 2016.
(that year, unusually warm winter
temperatures were followed by an
abrupt cold snap.) marquette has
shown it can weather the vagaries of
new england’s climate and yield good-
tasting red wine.
the fizzy marquette, along with a
german-by-way-of-little rhody pinot
noir, are entirely appealing. both are
just right for late summer adventures
close to home.

Canning is so popular, stores

are running out of supplies
By Emily Heil
the Washington post
haley lancaster, a high
school teacher in Vincennes,
ind., had always been intimi-
dated by the idea of canning.
she remembered her grand-
mother's shelves lined with
gleaming rows of giant jars full
of beans and other vegetables,
in Kidron, ohio. now there’s a
new market for the kind of
products it sells — such as gar-
dening equipment, cast-iron
pans, jigsaw puzzles, and ma-
son jars — as people spending
more time at home embrace lo-
fi activities.
she says sales in the compa-
ny’s canning category are up

lids, did not respond to e-mails.
reinhart notes that the run
on mason jars, which her com-
pany sources not just from ball
but also from other makers, is
being fueled not just by canners
looking to line their pantries
with pickles, but by plenty of
other pandemic crafters.
“there are all these crafty ways

and the pressure cooker she
used to fill them.
but with more time at home
after the coronavirus shut
down her school and all the
other activities that kept her
busy, lancaster thought it sud-
denly seemed doable, maybe, in
the way that we're all trying
things we never did before.
home schooling, diy haircuts,
tiktok dance challenges? sure,
we're game.
she had already tried mak-
ing sourdough bread, another
home-cooking trend that flour-
ished in the early days of the
pandemic. and so she went on-
line and learned, grabbed a few
recipes — for water-bath can-

lancaster is just one of le-
gions of canners these days
stoking a new boom in the old-
timey pursuit. some are novic-
es. others are veterans, perhaps
with a bit more time or produce
on their hands these days. can-
ning websites and facebook
pages are hopping, and retail-
ers around the country are re-
porting massive surges in sales
of supplies.
and now, as late-summer
harvests abound, the pandem-
ic-fueled pastime is making it
harder for people to find cans
and lids, and there are reports
of bare shelves on hardware
and retail stores.
glenda er vin is the vice
president of marketing for leh-
man’s, the hardware company

supply the amish community

still, the volume has taken
some by surprise. When orders
started flying in in april, lisa
reinhart, an employee of the
fillmore container company in
lancaster, pa., which sells bulk
jars and accessories for canning
and candle-making, wondered
if it was a fluke.
“at the beginning, we won-
dered if it was something hav-
ing to do with a google algo-
rithm,” she says. after weeks of
sustained sales, it became clear
that it wasn't.
reinhart says the first prod-
ucts to sell out were canning
“flats,” the disc-shaped part of
the two-part lid used by most
canners. for water-bath can-
ning, filled jars are sealed with
the two-part lid and submerged
in hot water. While jars and the
ring part of the lid can be re-
used, the flat has to be new
each time.
fillmore sells sleeves of
them, but she is sold out of the
standard size and has only
some in the wide-mouth style

says. “unless we can find more,

that’s just the kind of psy-
chological boost that lancaster,
the canner in indiana, is getting

seasonal Recipes
what to cook this week
Corn and Caramelized Onion Gratin
Serves 4
caramelizing onions may seem like an inter-
minable task, and removing corn kernels from
the cobs is another cooking chore. but when
the two go into a baking dish together with a
little cream and a topping of grated cheese,
you have the most appealing summer gratin.
get the onions started before beginning any
other task. choose a heavy-based pan to help
avoid scorching the onions while they cara-
melize. as you begin to prep and cook the rest
of dinner, and you walk by the onions, give
them an occasional stir. by the time every-
thing else is almost ready, you'll be able to add
the corn to the pan, along with the cream,
scallions, fresh thyme, and cherry or grape to-
matoes; don't use larger tomatoes because
they'll release too much of their juices when
cooking. sprinkle the top with grated cheese
and brown the dish in the oven. for a light
meal, serve the gratin with a big salad. for
something more indulgent, drizzle truffle oil
on the vegetables and spoon them beside
grilled steaks. the simple pleasures of sum-
mer pair well with just about everything.
Tomato and Ricotta Galette
Serves 4
a galette is an open-faced free-form pie that
can easily tilt sweet or savory. here, it's savory,
with a food-processor pastry filled with sliced,
ripe tomatoes — use colorful heirlooms if
they're in your market — layered on a creamy
ricotta and basil filling. to ensure crisp pastry
on the galette bottom, drain the excess mois-
ture from the ricotta and tomatoes while you
make and chill the dough. if you've got a sur-
plus of garden tomatoes and can't face anoth-
er tomato-mozzarella platter, give this a go.
Pastry

e s t b l a c k l i v e s ma tt e r p r o -
test. . . . a lot of storefronts were
damaged in downtown boston,
not necessarily as a result of it,
but the next morning was my day
t o go l i v e . i h o s t e d my f i r s t
month out in somerville to the
loveliest, warmest welcome that
i could have ever imagined. i was
selling out of all of my kits. Peo-
ple were super-excited to attend
our club meeting, and the mo-
mentum continued.
What’s the role of bars in the
COVID-19 era?
hospitality people knew that
on friday at five, people were go-
ing to be right at the door coming
in. and similarly, for anybody
who was working 9 to 5, you
were like: 4:57, 4:58, 4:59, 5:00,
let’s go, right? and there’s this
moment where the weekend is
upon us, no matter what side of
the bar that you were on, but it’s
probably the most joyful part of
the week. you’re sitting at a bar:
your shoulders relax, you order
your cocktail of choice or your
glass of sake, and you can really
just finally chill out after a pretty
stressful week. We’re in a mo-
ment of — i keep calling it the
never-ending presence. it’s going
to be hard to make any kind of
plans at all.
that ‘5:00 on a friday’ feeling,
that cocktail-hour vibe, is so im-
portant to us. i’ve been reading a
lot about how humans really
need play in their lives — just
pure moments of joy that maybe
don’t necessarily have a ton of
meaning or purpose attached to
them, but just an opportunity to
feel really, really happy.
so now we’re getting a bunch
of people who do not know each
other at all on a Zoom call —
which, oh god, i wish it could be
a different format. i feel people
are so over-Zoomed at this point
that i wish there could be a dif-
ferent vibe. People at first get in
there and feel they’re in a meet-
ing. i try to keep the club meet-
ings small and intimate enough
that you don’t have to mute your-
self. and then the moment we
start talking and drinking sake, it
becomes very joyful. it’s as if the
people who are in the call are all
at the corner of a bar and met
each other for the first time and
have one thing in common, and
it’s trying this beverage for the
first time. a lot of people don’t
have a ton of context for it, so it’s
easy to have a fresh conversation
about it.
Why sake?
kara, because i love, love
sake. i love it so much. i think
i’m going to sound like a 6-year-
old when i talk about it. it was
probably my third day working
the host stand at o ya, what feels
like 100 years ago, and nancy
poured me this unbelievable
glass of sake. i tell this story a lot,
but she was like, ‘oh, have you
ever had good sake before?’ and
in my brain, there’s this slow-mo
montage of me doing sake bombs
with my best friends in college.
and i was like, ‘yeah, i’ve had
sake before, but probably noth-
ing ever this nice.’ and from that
moment on, i was a student. i
ended up managing o ya, and i
had the opportunity to get my
advanced sake professional certi-
fication, which brought me to Ja-
pan. i got to visit a bunch of
breweries.
sake is so cool because there’s
not a lot out there about it from
both a tasting notes standpoint.
… there’s a ton of educational in-
formation, but i’m trying to nor-
malize it and break what could
be an intimidating barrier by
helping people talk about what it
tastes like. at the end of the koji
club meeting, we talk about
which sake everybody liked the
best but also what they’re plan-
ning to eat during the week or for
that evening.
then everyone sort of talks
about their meal-prepping for
the week or if they got takeout
last week, or if they’re planning
to do takeout, which i think is
sort of a contagious effect, too, to
know which restaurants are open
and what sake is going to go with
which. then they all report back
to me, too, which is great. i’m
learning a lot from everybody ex-
perimenting with these kits.
I know people are leery of even
going indoors right now. How do
you actually set up the popup?
i create a kit, which is either
three or four bottles of sake. . . .
and then we do a [virtual] club
meeting, and the club meeting is
included in every kit. you sign up
for either a friday or saturday,
generally around cocktail hour,
and we all hop on and i do a real-
ly quick presentation and review
of how sake is made and what it
is, just so everyone has the same
baseline understanding of the
beverage. then we talk them
through them together. i talk a
lot about how taste is subjective.
i think a lot of people hesitate to
talk about what things taste like,
because it might be wrong, but
i’m like, ‘nothing’s wrong, guys.’
taste is totally subjective and
based off of your own sense
memory.
Why did you decide to enter this
business? Is there a formative
memory or an experience that
led you down this path?
oh my god, my entire family
is wildly obsessed with food. my
mom’s side of the family owned
the oldest diner in denver, the
20th street café. i grew up clos-
est to my dad’s side of the family,
and they’re all incredible cooks.
We’re wildly italian. every holi-
day is a feast.
i learned how to cook when i
could reach the countertop. i also
grew up between tougas farm
and davidian’s farm [in north-
borough]. i would bike down to
‘I’ve been reading
a lot about how
humans really
need play in their
lives — just
pure moments
of joy.’
tougas farm as a weekend activi-
ty and pick my own apples and
bring them home. my mother
baked the best apple crisp of all
time, which literally sustained all
of my friends throughout college.
my mom’s name is candy. candy
was making apple crisps and
driving into the city for us so that
we could all eat it in our dorm
rooms. on my blog, there is a rec-
ipe for candy’s quick Japanese
pickle recipe. a lot of the koji
club members have been making
it nonstop all summer long, but
it’s a recipe that’s been in our
family for a long time.
What do you think about the fu-
ture of the beverage industry in
Boston?
i don’t want to sound naive,
but opening up my own business
in the middle of this pandemic
feels like an investment in the fu-
ture of the city of boston. i was
born and raised in massachu-
setts. i have lived in boston since
2002. i went to college at sim-
mons. i love boston more than
anything, and i know that bos-
ton is an incredibly resilient city.
i think that it will be a really
tough winter — the toughest win-
ter that we’ve seen, not because
of snow. i think it will be a huge
test of incredible empathy and
creativity and patience and de-
termination. i see it now where
there’s a lot of people who are go-
ing into our currently operating
bars and restaurants not wearing
masks, but i think that 2021 will
be a very different year for every-
one. and if we can make it
through what will be a very chilly
winter, i think 2021 will be a
light at the end of this tunnel for
sure. i am hopeful. i don’t know
what that will look like, but i
have a lot of faith in our town.
Have you been stress-eating
during the pandemic?
i can tell you that 50 percent
of my diet for the past two weeks
has been only tomatoes. the past
week has been striped germans.
striped germans are the half yel-
low, half red, big juicy monsters.
i get milk bread from Japonaise
bakery, and i try to get a slice of
tomato that’s the same size as the
Japanese milk bread, and i make
a tomato sandwich with it. hell-
man’s only. i fight with people,
because a lot of people really love
duke’s, but i’m really a hellman’s
girl.

Late-summer perfection at La Metapaneca Grill

are called, they adjourn to picnic by
the water, in a nearby stand of trees,
on benches at the adjacent park. the
staffers are patient and sweet. owner
conny Pimentel says one of the most
important things for her is not just
customer service but being a friend
and a help to her community.
“la Metapaneca was one of my big-
gest dreams,” she says. “My husband
and i got it in 2018. it was our second
business.” a year earlier, they opened
la Metapaneca Market, also in revere
— a “small but full-of-love convenience
store” with offerings that include hard-
to-find ingredients from central amer-
ica. now 27, Pimentel was just 24
when they opened. “i love business,”
she says. she has ever since she was a
child. “My mother always told me that
i sold some of my toys to [other] kids.”
next she hopes to open an ice cream
shop with unique flavors not seen any-
where else in boston.
Pimentel was able to keep the mar-
ket open despite coVid-19 but had to
close the grill for several months. it
was very hard, she says, and they were
very blessed. both market and grill are
named for Metapán, the city in el sal-
vador where Pimentel’s parents and
grandparents are from. la Metapane-
ca grill’s menu offers a mix of salva-
doran dishes alongside chicken fin-
gers, wings, cheeseburgers, and ke-
babs.
there are so many beachy tempta-
tions. everyone wants to eat corn on a
stick, so la Metapaneca offers two ver-
sions: street corn, with mayonnaise,
cheese, and chile powder; and elotes
locos, crazy corn, the cob slathered in
mayonnaise, ketchup, and cheese. Pa-
pas locas, crazy fries, get the same
treatment. a favorite at carnivals in el
salvador, the gooey, cheesy potatoes
are la Metapaneca’s most popular
item, Pimentel says.

uFISH STICKS
Continued from Page G1
People say, “oh my god, this is like
a mozzarella stick, but it’s way better
for me,” says chris hussey, gorton’s
vice president of marketing. “it’s going
to actually taste less fishy, more mild
and fresh.”
Pre-pandemic marketing efforts fo-
cused on the sticks’ cheekiness factor,
with frozen meals peddled by half-
men, half-fish spokescreatures called
“mer-bros” with buff chests and fish
tails. an early 2020 ad campaign fea-
tured comedian Jude flannelly asking
passersby to sample fish sticks at farm-
ers’ markets, chatting about the last
time they’d tried the throwback meal.
“it’s better than i remember!” marvels
one enthusiastic consumer.
“We suspended that campaign be-
cause early on it became a little bit odd
that you were going to talk to a strang-
er outside and take food from their
hands” during a pandemic, hussey

Which is good, because you're go-

no longer a food of mere conve-
nience, coVid-19 has people gravitat-
ing toward the frozen-fish aisle. and so
gorton’s is repositioning its offerings
as essential components of stylish at-
home meals.
“What happened in coVid is that
people went to the staples in their
freezer. they needed those things that
they could trust, that they could rely
on, that would last forever, that
weren’t wasteful. and all of a sudden
people were trying and eating fish
sticks pretty regularly. and so where
we have evolved, particularly during
the coVid environment, is to say, ‘oK,
you’re eating them. they’re in your
freezer. you’re buying them. We know
you’re buying them, because sales have
gone through the roof. so what are we
going to give you for inspiration to do
with them?’” says hussey.

the tacos are also excellent, show-

A few hours on
Revere Beach, eating
ceviche and slurping
mangoneadas, is as
sure a recipe for joy
as any. In August’s
waning days, I intend
to draw out every
last drop of summer
I can.
this summer, perhaps more than
any other, has reminded me how a few
hours on the beach can clear and quiet
the mind. i’ve spent more time on the
north shore than usual, a quick and
easy escape. a few hours on revere
beach, eating ceviche and slurping
mangoneadas, is as sure a recipe for
joy as any. in august’s waning days, i
intend to draw out every last drop of
summer i can.
i don’t know what cold weather and
coVid have in store for us, but Pimen-
tel reminds me we can count on one
another. “since our first day, i saw the
support from my customers, from my
family, from my friends,” she says. “i’m
very grateful, first [to] god and then
all the people. they are supporting us
always — no matter rain, no matter
snow, they are always there.”

gorton’s is also breaking out of the
fish-stick niche with a natural catch
line, featuring lighter offerings such as
frozen grilled cod and salmon as cus-
tomers continue to rely on frozen
foods but want to abandon their initial
pandemic snacking. but fish sticks, it
seems, will always be the main attrac-
tion.
“People are now getting fatigued
with cooking, and they need an inspi-
ration. are you going to have fish
sticks, french fries, and ketchup, or are
you going to have a taco that uses fish
sticks as your protein but has avocado
and lettuce and some other yummy in-
gredients like salsa?” hussey asks. “all
of a sudden, you feel like you’ve been
transported to your favorite Mexican
restaurant. and that’s where we found
the magic.”

tV critic’s corner Ask Amy

by Matthew Gilbert

Friend’s casual attitude toward

pandemic strains relationship
Q. i have a close friend who lives in anoth-
er state. she doesn’t believe the pandemic
is very bad, and though she does wear a
mask when going out, she doesn’t take any
other precautions and lives her life as nor-
mal. she believes that everyone should try
to get sick in order to get “herd immunity.”
now my friend wants to come to this
area to visit. i told her up front that my
husband and i are not allowing people in-
to our house at this time, and that we
could meet outside somewhere. that ruf-
fled her feathers a little, but i think she
agreed to that.
then, she wanted to know if i could
pick her up at the airport and drive her 30
to 40 miles so she could stay with a rela-
tive. she made a snide comment: “Or do
you not want me in your car, either?” i told
her no, and that my husband is in agree-
ment with me.
i don’t know how to smooth things out
with my friend when she is on the oppo-
site spectrum of caring about this virus
and about other people’s health. she is an
intelligent person who cares about her

crazy. People are responding to this health
crisis along a very wide spectrum. the
varying responses, ranging from paralyz-
ing anxiety to outright denial, are chal-
lenging to family and friendships alike.
your friend might live in an area where
she has not experienced the reality of a
COVid spike. she might carom around
her own media silo, unaware or in denial
of the reality others are facing. although it
would be hard to read accounts of first re-
sponders and still deny the devastation of
this illness, evidently you and your friend
are currently existing in different realities.
logically, if you won’t have people in-
side your home just now, why on earth
would you enclose yourself in a vehicle
with them? your friend’s “ask” seems to
have been a challenge.
you are doing a good job of being forth-
right about your own limitations. your du-
ty should always be to convey your own
values and protect your own health, while
accepting the values of others and hoping
that their behavior does not hold grave
consequences.
i have managed to extract a silver lin-
ing from this situation: COVid has finally
freed us from feeling obligated to retrieve
someone from the airport.
Q. i am 81 years old, and have two grown
children (with teenagers) that live near
me. they have decided that the pandemic
is just about over and are not taking any
precautions. they go out with friends,
don’t wear masks, and are not social dis-
Bird sightings
Manx shearwaters.
Other sightings at race Point included
a sabine’s gull, an arctic tern, 6 black
terns, 50 roseate terns, 400 common
terns, a northern pintail, and many hun-
dreds of Cory’s, great, sooty, and Manx
shearwaters.
a kayak trip in nauset Marsh turned
up 6 american oystercatchers, 2,400 semi-
palmated plovers, a whimbrel, 4 red
knots, 18 white-rumped sandpipers, 2,000
semipalmated sandpipers, 290 short-
tancing. Consequently, i have avoided vis-
iting.
the few times i have visited, i make it a
point to social distance. My daughter-in-
law gets passive-aggressively angry and
will stop talking to me. she just clams up.
i mentioned this to my son, and he
agrees that she does that to me, but he will
not say anything to her. i feel that she is
being disrespectful, and i would like to
know how to tactfully handle it. what can
i say in a nice way to help her understand?
if it were my mother or my mother-in-
law under different circumstances, i
would have gone out of my way to help
protect them instead of ignoring them and
trying to make them feel guilty!
uPset gran
A. do not meet passive-aggression with
passivity. if your daughter-in-law goes si-
lent, ask her, “is everything all right? i get
the sense you are not happy with me and
i’d like to talk about it.”
Q. in your response to “Making Change,”
you called your childhood games of “cow-
boys and indians” “despicable.” why do
you feel the need to describe such inno-
cent childhood enjoyment in this way?
disaPPOinted in yOu
A. i am not at all threatened by owning my
(common) childhood influences and be-
havior and telling the truth about how
these things strike me now.
