3 admit plot to
attack power grid
Three men have pleaded
guilty to terrorism-related
charges for plotting to attack the
US power grid, hoping that the
ensuing electricity outages
would stir civil and economic
unrest that could lead to a race
war, the Justice Department
said this week.
Christopher Brenner Cook,
20, of Columbus, Ohio; Jona-
than Allen Frost, 24, of Katy,
Texas, and West Lafayette, Ind.;
and Jackson Matthew Sawall,
22, of Oshkosh, Wis., sought to
assault power grids with ‘‘pow-
erful rifles,’’ federal officials said.
The three pleaded guilty to one
count of conspiring to provide
material support to terrorists
and face up to 15 years in pris-
on.
In the fall of 2019, Frost and
Cook met in an online chat
group, and Frost raised the idea
of attacking a power grid, ac-
cording to the Justice Depart-
ment. Within weeks, the two
started recruiting others.

Jan. 6 figure gets
75 days in jail
WASHINGTON — Adam
Johnson, the Florida man who
posed for a picture carrying
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s
lectern in the Senate Rotunda
of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021,
and led a pro-Donald Trump
mob that tried to break into the
House chamber, was sentenced
Friday to 75 days in jail and or-
dered to pay a $5,000 fine.
‘‘A message just has to be
sent,’’ Senior US District Judge
Reggie Walton told Johnson.
Johnson, 37, was apologetic,
and his attorneys noted that he
began cooperating fully with
federal agents as soon as he was
arrested on Jan. 8, though he
had destroyed his photos and
social media accounts by then.
He told the judge he knew
that if he had committed simi-
lar acts in other countries, ‘‘I’d
be on a firing wall, not before
you.’’
Johnson acknowledged the
riot ‘‘was violent.’’

Firms finalize $26b opioid settlement
Cities and states
drop suits, pledge
no future action
By Jan Hoffman
NEW YORK TIMES
The nation’s three largest
drug distributors and a major
pharmaceutical manufacturer
announced Friday that a su-
permajority of states and locali-
ties had accepted the terms of
their $26 billion offer to settle
thousands of civil claims related
to the deadly opioid crisis. The
first checks are expected to go
out in early April.
Through its pharmaceutical
division, Janssen, Johnson &
Johnson will pay $5 billion, bro-
ken into annual payments over
nine years. McKesson, Cardinal
Health, and AmerisourceBer-
gen, the distributors, will pay a
combined $21 billion over 18
years. At least 85 percent of the
payments will be dedicated to
addiction treatment and pre-
vention services.
By signing onto the deal,
thousands of local governments
as well as states have agreed to
drop their opioid lawsuits
against the companies and also
pledge not to bring any future
action.

UNICEF chief says Taliban committed to girls education
Cites plan to
reopen schools
next month
By Samya Kullab
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KABUL — The Taliban are
showing “commitment” to al-
lowing Afghan girls to go to
school across the country next
month, addressing a key condi-
tion set by the international
community, UNICEF’s newly
appointed chief said on Friday.
UNICEF Executive Director
Catherine Russell said it re-
mains to be seen whether the
Taliban’s commitment to re-
opening schools to girls and
women on March 21 might
hinge on more conditions or re-
strictions.
“The de-facto (Taliban) au-
thorities have given us indica-
tions that that is their intention,
and we are hopeful that is going
to happen, and we believe it
should happen,” Russell, who
was appointed earlier this
month, said in an exclusive in-
terview with the Associated
Press in the capital of Kabul.
Despite the lack of a formal
ban, girls grade seven and up
T h e B o s t o n
In its sweep and bottom line,
the deal is second only to the
Big Tobacco settlement of the
late 1990s as a multistate agree-
ment.
The total amount includes
almost $2 billion that will cover
fees and costs for the platoons
of lawyers nationwide who rep-
resented local governments as
well as some states and built
much of the legal strategy in the
cases. Those payments will go
out over roughly seven years.
There are no separate funds
to compensate families and in-
dividual victims of the opioid
crisis.
The announcement is a mile-
stone in the nationwide opioid
litigation, which began in 2014
with a few cities and counties
filing lawsuits against five drug
manufacturers. But as thou-
sands of governmental plaintiffs
eventually filed claims, the cas-
es reached across the pharma-
ceutical industry, to distributors
and retailers as well. The ac-
tions gelled into a modern legal
behemoth that is still far from
fully resolved, featuring, most
prominently, the cases against
Purdue Pharma.
The crisis continues to take a
terrible toll: More than 500,000
Americans have died from over-
doses to prescription and illegal
have effectively been barred
from going to school in most of
the country since the Taliban’s
takeover of the countr y six
months ago. Access to educa-
tion is a key demand of the in-
ternational community, and the
Taliban have blamed delays on
lack of adequate space, especial-
ly in cities, to accommodate seg-
regated schooling.
Schools in about 10 provinc-
es have continued uninterrupt-
ed since the Taliban takeover,
and private universities and
schools in the capital remained
open. Universities for women
have also restarted in several
provinces with the Taliban
promising all universities will
do so eventually in the coming
weeks.
Apart from reassurances
that schools will reopen for all
girls, little else has been made
public about other possible re-
strictions or curriculum chang-
es. These are “a little bit of a
work in progress,” Russell said.
With Afghanistan as her first
visit, Russell met with Taliban
officials this week to discuss
concerns ranging from child
health and rights to education,
she said — in particular the
mounting threat of acute mal-

The distributors and John-

ments Friday morning, noting
that the deal is not an admis-

they strongly dispute the allega-
tions. The distributors said in a
joint statement that they be-
lieved that “the implementation

Johnson & Johnson also add-
ed that it would “continue to de-
fend itself against any litigation
that this final settlement agree-
ment does not resolve,” noting
that it no longer sells prescrip-
tion opioid medication in the
United States.

group of states announced their
proposed settlement in July, the
companies said they required
an unspecified majority of
plaintiffs to sign on, to guaran-
tee an end to litigation. The an-

signals that a sufficient thresh-
old has been reached, or at least
90 percent of those govern-

and 46 of 49 eligible states for
the distributors and 45 for
Johnson & Johnson. Courts in
each state will now have to sign
off on the agreements, a process
that is expected to go relatively
smoothly and swiftly.
According to the agree-
ments, a state will get its full al-
location if all its local govern-
ments sign on to the deal. For
example, all 100 North Carolina
counties and 47 municipalities
have agreed, and the state will
get its allotment of $750 mil-

ther the distributors or Johnson

But legal experts say that stance

Russell said.
“Ultimately, the internation-

come together to work with the
de-facto authorities here to do
this together,’’ she said. “It’s not
something that humanitarian
organizations can solve on their
own.”
Staving off donor fatigue re-

House panel widens
probe of Trump’s
document handling
Wants details on
boxes recovered
from Mar-a-Lago
By Luke Broadwater
NEW YORK TIMES
WASHINGTON — A House
committee on Friday expanded
its investigation into former
president Donald Trump’s de-
struction and removal of White
House documents, demanding
more information about classi-
fied material found at Trump’s
property in Florida and reports
that aides had discovered docu-
ments in a White House toilet
during his time in office.
In a letter to the national ar-
chivist, Democrat Representa-
tive Carolyn Maloney of New
York, chair of the Oversight
Committee, said the panel was
seeking a detailed description
of the contents of 15 boxes re-
c o v e r e d f r o m Ma r - a - L a g o ,
Tr u m p ’s Pa l m B e a c h c o m -
pound, including their level of
classification, and all records
that he “had torn up, destroyed,
mutilated, or attempted to tear
up, destroy or mutilate.” She al-
so said the panel wanted docu-
ments “relating to White House
employees or contractors find-
ing paper in a toilet in the
White House, including the
White House residence.”
The letter also sought infor-
mation about the findings of
any federal inquiries into the
classified material and any
communications with Trump
about the Presidential Records
Act or White House policies on
record-keeping.
“The American people de-
ser ve to know the extent of
what former President Trump
did to hide and destroy federal
records and make sure these
abuses do not happen again,”
Maloney said in a statement.
The National Archives con-
firmed in a letter to Maloney
last week that it had found clas-
sified information among mate-
rial that Trump had taken with
him to his home in Florida
when he left office last year and
that it had consulted with the
Justice Department about the
matter.
T he archives did not de-
scribe the classified material it
found other than to say it was
“classified national security in-
formation.”
The National Archives also
said in its letter that the Trump
White House had failed to turn
over records that included “cer-
tain social media records.”
David Ferriero, the national
archivist, also wrote that “some
White House staff conducted
official business using nonoffi-
cial electronic messaging ac-

“There is no evidence in the

states.
The findings come as investi-
gators continue their two-month
search for the 7-year-old, who
was last seen more than two
years ago in the custody of her
father, a Manchester, N.H., resi-
dent with a violent criminal
past. The mysterious disappear-
ance, combined with the girl’s
long entanglements with child
welfare agencies in New Hamp-
shire and Massachusetts, has

heaped scrutiny on social service
agencies in both states.
The report focused largely on
the role of New Hampshire’s Di-
vision for Children, Youth and
Families, but also suggested the
two states had failed to commu-
nicate years earlier when Har-
mony left her mother’s care in
Massachusetts. Additional inves-
tigations into the handling of
Harmony’s custody are ongoing
in both states.
“We left no stone unturned in
our fact-finding mission to help
determine what happened in the
hopes that it will help bring Har-
mony home safe,” Sununu said
in a statement. “Everything we

The archives said it was in the
process of obtaining some of
those records.
Attorney General Merrick
Garland declined to say this
week whether the Justice De-
partment has opened an inves-
tigation into Trump’s handling
of classified information.
“As the archivist said in a let-
ter that was sent to the Con-
gress, the National Archives
has informed the Justice De-
partment of this and communi-
cated with it,” Garland said.
“And we will do what we always
do under these circumstances
— look at the facts and the law
and take it from there.”
Trump’s penchant for tear-
ing up presidential records was
revealed in a 2018 Politico arti-
cle, but in the past few weeks, a
series of disclosures has raised
new questions about the Trump
administration’s failure to fol-
low federal record-keeping laws
and its handling of classified in-
formation as Trump left office.

leased in October by a New

cally discovered wads of print-
ed paper clogging a toilet, lead-
ing them to believe that Trump
had tried to flush them.
In a statement last week,
Trump said that the material
had been turned over to the ar-
chives as part of “an ordinary
and routine process” and sug-
gested that efforts by Demo-
crats to raise questions about
his handling of the documents
were a scam.
“The fake news is making it
seem like me, as the president
of the United States, was work-
ing in a filing room,” he said.
Maloney warned in Decem-
ber 2020 that she believed the
Trump administration was not
complying with the Presiden-
tial Records Act.
She wrote a letter to Ferriero
expressing what she called
“grave concerns” that the de-
parting administration “may
not be adequately preserving
records and may be disposing
of them.”

“There has to be one day
where you say, ‘All right, this is
going to be it,’ ” Inhofe told the
newspaper.
A spokeswoman for Inhofe
did not respond to requests for
comment. In a sign that an an-
nouncement was imminent, In-
hofe’s top Senate aide, chief of
staff Luke Holland, unveiled a
campaign website Friday.
“Luke is proud to have the

it reads. Inhofe confirmed in the
Oklahoman interview that he

Both have pleaded not guilty. No

Manhattan DA appoints new
leader of Trump probe
NEW YORK — Manhattan
District Attorney Alvin Bragg
has asked his investigations
chief to oversee the ongoing
probe into former president
Donald Trump and his business
practices, a day after the abrupt
resignations of two veteran at-
torneys who had been leading
the case.
Susan Hoffinger, also an ex-
perienced litigator and recent
addition to Bragg’s executive
team, will captain what has
been described as a squad of
about 25 lawyers, paralegals,
and analysts. Over more than
three years, the group has pored
through millions of records re-
lating to Trump and operations

most recently on whether assets
were illegally overvalued to se-
cure better terms on loans and
insurance rates, and underval-

House optimistic about
reparations commission
More than three decades af-
ter it was first introduced, a
House bill that would create a
commission to study reparations
for Black Americans has the
votes to pass, its champions say.
That broad support, they
contend, shows that the idea of
reparations has gone from the
fringes to the mainstream of
American politics.
“This has been a 30-plus year
journey,’’ said Representative
Sheila Jackson Lee, Democrat of
Texas. “We had to take a differ-
ent approach. We had to go one
by one to members explaining
this does not generate a check.’’
The commission would hold
hearings with testimony from
those who support and oppose
the idea. Jackson Lee said the
country would end up better
from the process. “Reparations
is about repair and when you re-
pair the damage that has been
done, you do so much to move a
society forward. This commis-
sion can be a healing process —
telling the truth can heal Ameri-
ca,’’ she said.
While supporters are confi-
dent they have the votes to gain
approval in the Democratic-con-
trolled House, they are less opti-
mistic about the bill’s fate in the
Senate. Instead, they intend to
push President Biden to sign an
executive order that would cre-
ate the commission. The bill,
H.R. 40, calls for a months-long
study of reparations so support-
ers say they need Biden to act
now so his administration could
implement the commission’s
recommendations before the
end of his term.
The White House did not re-
spond to multiple requests for

had observed Harmony with a
black eye and that her father had
admitted to giving it to her.
A DCYF caseworker visited
three times with the family and
reported observing “a red mark
in her eye” and faded bruising
below her eyelid.
While interviewing Harmony
and her father, however, both
said that “the mark was caused
by horseplay with another sib-
ling when a toy light saber
struck Harmony near her eye,”
the report states.
The complaint was ultimate-
ly determined to be unfounded

Nearly all of the leading con-

represented a significant shift
compared to President Obama’s
rejection of the idea during his

made the issue a “non-starter”

cludes death threats, disinfor-
mation, ransomware and cyber-
attacks — threats from within.
In a handful of states, author-
ities are investigating whether
local officials directed or aided
in suspected security breaches at
their own election offices. At
least some have expressed doubt
about the 2020 presidential elec-
tion, and information gleaned
from the breaches has surfaced
in conspiracy theories pushed by
allies of former president Don-
ald Trump.
Adding to the concern is a
wave of candidates for state and
local election offices this year who
parrot Trump’s false claims about
his loss to Democrat Joe Biden.
“Putting them in positions of
authority over elections is akin
to putting arsonists in charge of
a fire department,” said Secre-
tary of State Jocelyn Benson, a
Democrat and former law school
dean who serves as Michigan’s
top elections official.

THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC
CDC eases mask recommendations for most Americans
Policy seen as
reflecting new
view of virus
By Lena H. Sun
and Dan Keating
WASHINGTON POST
The Centers for Disease Con-
trol and Prevention eased mask
recommendations for the vast
majority of the country Friday
under a new framework to mon-
itor coronavirus that immediate-
ly affects about 7 percent of
Americans — a process that state
and local officials had already
begun amid demands for a re-
turn to normalcy.
The new guidelines, which
took effect Friday, reflect the ad-
ministration’s view that the
United States has entered a dif-
ferent, potentially less danger-
ous phase of the pandemic and
follow the lead of Democratic
governors responding to declin-
ing case counts as well as public
pressure. Top health officials
said the shift reflects that after
5.2 million children lost caregiver to virus, study says

around the world lost a parent

the first 19
months of the pandemic.
“Children are suffering im-
mensely now and need our
help,” said Susan Hillis, a senior
researcher at the University of
Oxford and a lead author of the
study, which was published in
the medical journal The Lancet
on Thursday.
The study was based on data
from 20 countries, including In-
dia, the United States, and Peru,
and was completed by an inter-
national research team that in-
cluded experts from the Centers
for Disease Control and Preven-
tion, the World Health Organi-
zation and several colleges and
universities.
It warns that a child who los-
es a parent or a caregiver could
suffer negative effects including
an increased risk of poverty,
sexual abuse, mental health
challenges, and severe stress.
An earlier study, focused on
the first 13 months of the pan-
demic, arrived at an estimate of
1.5 million affected children.
The new figure is much higher
not just because it adds data for
six more months, researchers
say, but also because the first es-
timate was a significant under-
count. Using updated figures on
COVID-related deaths, the re-
searchers now calculate that at
least 2.7 million children lost a
parent or caregiver during the
first 13 months.
The new study covers data
through October 2021, and
does not include the latest surge
in cases from the Omicron vari-
ant, which have undoubtedly
added to the toll.
“It took 10 years for five mil-
lion children to be orphaned by
H.I.V./AIDS, whereas the same
number of children have been
orphaned by COVID-19 in just
two years,” Lorraine Sherr, a
professor of psychology at Uni-
versity College London and an
author of the study, said in a
statement.
Davyon Johnson, 11, from
Muskogee, Okla., is one of the
millions of children to have lost
a parent — in his case, his fa-
ther, Willie James Logan, who
died two days after being hospi-
talized with COVID in August
2021.
“It’s been a rocky road, I’ll
say it like that,” Davyon’s moth-
er, LaToya Johnson, said in an
interview.
Davyon has dealt with the
grief as best as he can, she said.
His grades are still strong. He’s
still eager to see friends. Still,
there are days when they are
both exhausted.
“ Up a n d d o w n — u p a n d

their emotions. “It’s him want-
ing to call his daddy and not be-
ing able to.”

Hong Kong cases rise to
more than 10,000 in a day
HONG KONG — Hong Kong
on Friday reported another
sharp jump in new COVID-19
more than two years of living
with the virus, many communi-
ties have greater protection
against severe disease because of
widespread vaccinations, treat-
ments, better testing, and high-
er-quality masks, among other
improvements.
CDC Director Rochelle
Walensky stressed the new ap-
proach could be dialed up or
down if an unpredictable virus
should morph again.
“None of us knows what the
future may hold for us and for
this virus,’’ Walenksy said. “We
need to be prepared and ready
for whatever comes next. We
want to give people a break from
things like mask-wearing, when
levels are low, and then have the
ability to reach for them again,
should things get worse in the
future.’’
The approach is expected to
be less disruptive to daily life. It
incorporates new metrics such
as the number of new hospital
admissions with COVID-19, and
the number of hospitalized

the latest 24-hour period as it
battles its worst outbreak of the
pandemic.
The new daily case count
reached 10,010, health officials
said, after topping 6,000 last
week and 8,000 earlier this
week in a spiraling outbreak.
The city has been reporting
about 50 deaths a day, many
among the unvaccinated elder-
ly.
T he government has an-
nounced plans to test everyone
in the semi-autonomous Chi-
nese city of 7.4 million people
next month as it tries to adhere
to a zero-COVID policy modeled
on the strict mainland China
approach.
Mainland experts and build-
ers are putting up temporary
testing facilities and construct-
ing isolation centers to handle
the burgeoning caseload. The
zero-COVID approach requires
the isolation of anyone who
tests positive, even without
symptoms, to prevent spread.
Hong Kong started a vaccine
pass system this week, requir-
ing people entering shopping
malls, restaurants, gyms, and
other premises to be vaccinat-
ed. The requirement has driven
many who weren’t vaccinated
to get the shot.

German official warns about
relaxing restrictions
BERLIN — Germany’s health
minister warned Friday that the
coronavirus pandemic isn’t over
yet, noting that the country is
still seeing record infections
and high numbers of deaths.
The Robert Koch Institute,
G ermany ’s disease control
agency, reported 210,743 newly
confirmed cases of COVID-19
and 226 deaths in the past 24
hours. Officials say laboratory
data suggests there may be a
large number of undetected cas-
es.
“We need to be careful not to
think that the pandemic is
over,” Health Minister Karl Lau-
terbach told reporters in Berlin.
A subtype of the Omicron
variant, dubbed BA.2, could
lead to a further rise in cases, he
said.
Lauterbach urged Germa-
ny’s 16 states not to relax re-
strictions faster than recently
agreed.
He rejected the idea of de-
T h e B o s t o n
case counts, to assess levels of
COVID-19 disease in every coun-
ty. Instead of focusing on elimi-
nating transmission of the virus,
it is aimed at preventing hospi-
tals and health-care systems
from being overwhelmed and
protecting people at high risk for
severe illness, officials said.
Officials said the framework
would also provide individuals
with an understanding of what
precautions they should consid-
er based on the level of disease in
their community, their underly-
ing risk, and their own risk toler-
ance.
Under the new approach,
many parts of the country that
were previously considered to
have high or substantial levels of
the virus are now reclassified as
having low to medium levels of
COVID-19 disease. CDC recom-
mends mask-wearing for indoor

Vaccine mandate protests
roil New Zealand’s capital
WELLINGTON, New Zea-
land — The number of cars and
trucks blocking the streets out-
side New Zealand’s Parliament
was thinning Friday, although
more protesters were expected
to arrive for the weekend, in-
cluding some by boat.
For more than two weeks,
protesters against coronavirus
vaccine mandates have been
camping outside Parliament,
their numbers dropping during
the weekdays and then swelling
to the thousands over the week-
ends.
The protest action comes as
coronavirus case numbers surge
in New Zealand. Health author-
ities on Friday reported a record
12,000 new cases — almost dou-
ble the pre vious record se t
Thursday and up from about
2,000 per day a week ago.
The Ministry of Health this
week listed the protest site as a
location of interest in the out-
break.
Those who oppose vaccine
mandates claimed a victory on
Friday after a judge ruled in fa-
vor of a group of police and mil-
itary workers who argued that a
mandate affecting them unduly
infringed their rights. The rul-
ing will allow about 280 unvac-
cinated workers to keep their
jobs for now.
Police have been reluctant to
use force to break up the pro-
test, but over the past week
have reduced vehicle numbers
by placing concrete barriers
around the protest and allowing
cars to leave but not return.
That has reduced the number of
vehicles from about 800 to 300.
Authorities had a blunt mes-
sage for those planning to join
the protest.

Kyiv faces shelling and dire warnings

urday, according to a translation
provided by his office.
As soldiers in Kyiv set up fir-
ing points on bridges over the
Dnieper River and checkpoints
on highways into the city, Zel-
ensky warned that Russian “sab-
otage groups” had entered the
city with the aim of “destroying
the head of state.”
Reports from the Ukrainian
military and the United States
and its allies indicated that the
Ukrainian military was fighting
fiercely, slowing the Russian ad-
vance. Ukrainian civilians were
also volunteering to defend the
country.
The Ukrainian military re-
ported losses as it seemed to
withdraw from border areas.
But it also reported successes: In
Kharkiv, the country’s second-
largest city, Ukrainians de-
stroyed several troop carriers;
the army said it had shot down a
Russian aircraft; and the presi-
dent’s office said it had recap-
tured an airfield outside Kyiv,
the Hostomel airport, that Rus-
sian commandos had seized the
day before.

But officials warned that as
of Friday morning Russia had
sent into Ukraine only 30 per-

troops it had massed at the bor-

its attack at any time.
The fighting continued as
Russia sent mixed signals on
whether it was ready to enter
discussions that would end the
hostilities.

INTERNATIONAL FALL OUT

China caught in a bind over stance on countries’ sovereign rights

By Chris Buckley
NEW YORK TIMES
As Russian troops have
poured into Ukraine, officials in
Beijing have fumed at any sug-
gestion that they are betraying a
core principle of Chinese foreign
policy — that sovereignty is sac-
rosanct — to shield Moscow.
They will not even call it an
invasion. “Russia’s operation” is
one preferred description. The
“current situation” is another.
And China’s leader, Xi Jinping,
said his position on the crisis is
perfectly coherent.
“The abrupt changes in the
eastern regions of Ukraine have
been drawing the close attention
of the international community,”
Xi told his Russian counterpart,
Vladimir Putin, in a call Friday,
according to an official Chinese
summary.
“China’s fundamental stance
has been consistent in respect-
ing the sovereignty and territori-
al integrity of all countries and
abiding by the mission and prin-
ciples of the United Nations
Charter,” Xi said.
Outside the echo chamber of
Chinese official media, however,
there seems little doubt that
Russia’s war has put its partner
Beijing in a severe bind, includ-
ing over where it stands on
countries’ sovereign rights.
China’s quandary may have
played a role Friday in what ap-
peared to be a new offer by Rus-
sia to negotiate with Ukraine’s
embattled leadership.
After Putin’s phone call with
Xi, the Russian president sig-
naled he was open to talks — re-
versing his own foreign minis-
ter’s statement hours earlier. The
Kremlin framed Putin’s position
as a response to Ukraine’s presi-
dent, Volodymyr Zelensky, that
he was ready to discuss “neutral
status” for Ukraine.
Whether Xi pressured Putin
to be more accommodating re-
mains unclear. But talks to re-
solve the crisis would clearly be
in China’s interest, easing what
critics see as its double standard
on the sovereignty issue.
On the one hand, China has
long said that the United States
and other Western powers rou-
tinely trample over other coun-
tries, most egregiously in recent
times in the invasion of Iraq in
2003. China’s message has been
that it is the true guardian of
sovereign independence, espe-
cially for poorer countries.
On the other hand, Putin has
expected Xi to accept, if not sup-
port, the invasion. Xi’s govern-
ment has played along, laying re-
sponsibility for Europe’s worst
war in decades on hubris by the
United States. China has also
distanced itself from the con-
demnation of Russia at the UN.
China’s “central attack on the
United States as a global power
since Xi Jinping has come to of-
fice has been to accuse it of con-
tinued violation of UN Charter
principles on national sovereign-
ty,” Kevin Rudd, a former prime
minister of Australia who served
as a diplomat in China, said in a
telephone interview. “This torpe-
does that argument midship.”
The growing economic rela-
tionship between China and
Russia also has given Xi some
potential leverage in pushing for
Putin to quickly resolve the
Ukraine crisis. With severe sanc-
tions now imposed on Russia by
Western powers, Putin may need
China more than ever as an in-
vestor and buyer of Russian oil,
wheat, and other products.
Unless the crisis is resolved,
China will continue performing
verbal contortions to try to bal-
ance its solidarity with Russia
with its declared devotion to the
sanctity of the nation-state, ex-
perts and former diplomats said.
If the war expands, costs for
China of hemming and hawing
over a deadly crisis may grow.
“The incoherence is damag-
ing to China over the long term,”
said Adam Ni, an analyst who
publishes a newsletter on Chi-
nese current affairs. “It under-
mines China’s long-held foreign
policy principles and makes it
harder to project itself as a re-
sponsible great power.”

CRISIS OVER UKRAINE
PUNISHING PUTIN
Biden to freeze Russian leader’s personal assets
By Alan Rappeport
and Katie Rogers
NEW YORK TIMES
The Biden administration in-
tends to impose sanctions on
Russian President Vladimir Pu-
tin, taking the rare step of freez-
ing the personal assets of a
world leader, White House offi-
cials said Friday.
The decision aligns the Unit-
ed States with its European al-
lies, whose governments made
similar moves earlier in the day.
Leaders of the European Union
and Britain took action to freeze
the assets of Putin and Sergey
Lavrov, his foreign minister.
The sanctions are a provoca-
tive step but are also largely
symbolic given that it’s unclear
where Putin’s wealth resides.
HISTORY
Putin’s
attack
echoes
Hitler’s
By Michael E. Ruane
WASHINGTON POST
By 1939, parts of Czechoslo-
vakia had already been carved
off and taken over by Nazi Ger-
many, which claimed that mil-
lions of ethnic Germans were be-
ing persecuted there.
The previous September, Eu-
ropean powers, seeking to avoid
war, did nothing.
But six months later, German
troops were massed on the Czech
border, as Nazi leader Adolf Hit-
ler railed and threatened the
county with destruction.
On March 15, 1939, the sick-
ly Czech president, Emil Hacha,
was in Hitler’s study surrounded
by the Führer’s henchmen.
“Hitler was at his most intim-
idating,’’ historian Ian Kershaw
wrote in his 2000 biography of
the Nazi leader. “He launched in-
to a violent tirade against the
Czechs.’’ The Nazis needed to
take over Czechoslovakia to pro-
tect Germany. Hacha must agree
or his country would be immedi-
ately attacked and Prague, its
capital, bombed.
Hacha gave in to Hitler’s de-
mand. German troops marched
in a few hours later.
Russia’s Vladimir Putin did
not bother to speak with
Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr
Zelensky, before launching his
assault Thursday. But some ob-
servers see brutal similarities to
Hitler’s seizure of Czechoslova-
kia just before World War II.
“This is all truly dictated by
our national interests and dictat-
ed by care for the future of our
country,’’ Kremlin spokesman
Dmitry Peskov said Thursday af-
ter the Russian assault began.
Putin on Monday claimed
pro-Russian residents of
Ukraine faced “genocide.’’
“The killing of civilians … the
abuse of people, including chil-
dren, women and the elderly,
continues unabated,’’ he said.
‘’There is no end in sight.’’
“Neanderthal and aggressive
nationalism and neo-Nazism …
have been elevated in Ukraine to
the rank of national policy,’’ he
said. “How much longer can one
put up with this?’’
In March 1938, during the
run-up to World War II, Hitler
had first engineered the Nazi
takeover of Austria, which al-
ready had strong pro-Nazi sym-
pathies.
Seven months later, he was
plotting the seizure of part of
Czechoslovakia, claiming that
ethnic Germans in the Sudeten
regions bordering eastern Ger-
many were being mistreated.
In 2014, Russia seized the
Crimean peninsula from
Ukraine, with Putin saying, “In
people’s hear ts and minds,
Crimea has always been an in-
separable part of Russia.’’
“The argument that Hitler
made [about Czechoslovakia’s
Germans] is very, very similar to
the one Putin’s made,’’ said Dov
Zakheim, senior adviser at the
Center for Strategic and Interna-
tional Studies, a Washington
think tank, and a former under-
secretary of defense.
The status of Putin’s financial
holdings has been cloaked in
mystery and his money is not be-
lieved to be held in the United
States.
Although the US has sanc-
tioned and frozen the assets of
some Russian oligarchs, target-
ing Putin directly is an unusual
move. It puts him in similar
company with Syrian President
Bashar Assad and Belarusian
President Alexander Lukashen-
ko, both of whom have been sub-
jected to personal sanctions by
the US government.
Jen Psaki, White House press
secretary, said Friday that im-

strength of the opposition to the
actions by President Putin and
Ukrainian soldiers held a position on Friday that was the site of a battle the day before with Russian forces on a highway leading into Kharkiv, Ukraine.
FRONT LINES
Civilians abandon city streets as fighting nears
By Michael Schwirtz
NEW YORK TIMES
KHARKIV, Ukraine — The
thuds of artillery start as a low-
decibel rumble but rattle the rib
cage as you get closer. A cross-
roads at the northern entrance
of Kharkiv is about as close to
the front lines as anyone would
wish to be Friday, as Ukrainian
soldiers waged a fierce battle to
push Russian forces away from
the city.
The empty carcasses of
burned-out Russian armored
personnel carriers and a Ukrai-
nian police jeep littered the
roadway, along with the scat-
tered belongings of their former
occupants — water bottles, a sol-
dier’s boot, camouflage clothing.
Nearby, the body of a Russian
soldier, in a drab green uniform,
lay on the side of the road, dust-
ed in a light coating of snow that
fell overnight.
The position was held, as of
Friday, by a group of lightly
armed Ukrainian soldiers who
had hastily dug trenches into the
wet mud beside the road, diving
into them periodically when the
artillery boom was especially
loud.
Behind them, huge blue and
yellow letters spelled KHARKIV,
marking the entrance to
Ukraine’s second-largest city,
home to 1.5 million people, in
the northeastern part of the
country.
Whether the Russian troops
in those destroyed armored car-
riers had meant to enter the city
was unclear, as were the inten-
tions of their comrades fighting
what sounded like a vicious bat-
tle just beyond a line of trees in
the distance. They had pushed
into the region a day earlier, hav-
ing traveled some 40 miles from
their staging area near Belgorod
in Russia.
The Ukrainian soldiers sent
T h e B o s t o n
the direction in his leadership of
the Russian military.”
Psaki said the sanctions will
also apply to Lavrov and Russian
national security officials. The
decision was made in the past 24
hours after consultation with
European leaders, Psaki said.
Yet, unlike Europe and Britain,
which did not impose a travel
ban on the officials, the Biden
administration is expected to
prevent Putin from traveling to
the United States.
Psaki would not comment on
what impact she believed the
sanctions would have on Putin’s
wealth but underscored that it
was a demonstration of unity in
opposition to his actions.
Adam Smith, a former Trea-
sury Department official who is

to hold the position had few de-
tails of the fight that took place
there, saying only that it hap-
pened Thursday morning, short-
ly after Russia’s president, Vladi-
mir Putin, gave the order to at-
tack.
“Putin wants us to throw
d o w n o u r w e a p o n s ,” s a i d a
Ukrainian soldier named An-
drei, from inside a muddy
trench. “I think we could operate
more slyly, gather up our forces
and launch a counterattack.”
Most of the fighting appeared
to be taking place a few miles
outside the city limits, near a vil-
lage called Tsyrkuny. The num-
ber of military and civilian casu-
alties resulting from the fight
was unclear, but Friday, local po-
lice said a 14-year-old boy had
been killed in a village near
Kharkiv when a shell hit near his
home. But strikes occasionally
G l o b e
now a partner at the law firm
Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, said
the sanctions on Putin are a sig-
nificant messaging tool because
the United States has never tak-
en such an action against the
leader of such a powerful coun-
try. However, he said that the
sanctions were unlikely to affect
Putin’s wealth or change his cal-
culus in Ukraine.
“I don’t think Putin is really
going to lose much sleep on be-
ing sanctioned,” Smith said.
The sanctions add to the
growing list of restrictions that
the Biden administration, in co-
ordination with Europe, has
been rolling out. The United
States placed sanctions on major
Russian financial institutions
and the nation’s sovereign debt
hit close enough to the city to
elicit shrieks of terror from pe-
destrians, sending them fleeing
into metro stations for cover.
Inside an underground sta-
tion in central Kharkiv, terrified
residents have been holed up for
two days with their babies, pets,
and the few belongings — blan-
kets, yoga mats, and spare cloth-
ing — they could grab in short
dashes to home and back, dur-
ing breaks in the shelling. The
city has parked trains in the sta-
tion and allowed people to sleep
in them.
Lidiya Burlina and her son,
Mark, work in Kharkiv and were
cut off from their home village, a
two-hour train ride away, when
the Russians moved in. They’ve
been living in the metro station
ever since. The stores in town

Officials in the United States
and Europe have also been de-
bating additional measures to
squeeze the Russian economy if
the invasion of Ukraine esca-
lates. One measure could be cut-
ting Russia off from SWIFT, the
vital international financial mes-
saging service used by banks
worldwide.

Friday will probably receive

“They’re sitting there in the

and there’s no heat,” Burlina
said. “And we’re here in the met-
ro.”
Up on the surface, most of
the stores and restaurants were
closed and few people walked
the streets. One of the few excep-
tions was Tomi Piippo, a 26-year-
old from the Finnish city of Iisal-
mi, who said he came to Kharkiv
on holiday Monday and now
couldn’t get out.
“I don’t know how to leave.

but his Republican counterpart

would be largely symbolic.
“The guy’s a mad man,” Risch
said of Putin. “I don’t think you
can reason with him. And so as a
result of that, what needs to hap-
pen is, his country is going to
have to pay the price and decide

body of a Smerch rocket, which
Ukrainian officials said was fired
by Russian forces, was stuck ver-
tically in the middle of the street
outside the headquarters of the
national guard. A few kilometers
away, the rocket’s tail section
was buried in the asphalt across
from an onion-domed Orthodox
church.
A team of emergency services
officers, dressed in flak jackets
and helmets, was attempting to
extract the tail from the pave-
ment but having difficulties. A
member of the team said that
the tail and the body were differ-
ent stages of the rocket, likely
jettisoned as the explosive ord-
nance hurtled toward its target
near the front lines.
“This is 200 kilos of metal,”
the emergency officer said,
pointing to the rocket’s tail. “It
could have fallen through a
building or hit people.”
Even as the artillery barrages
intensified, not everyone was
ready to hide. Walking with in-
tention toward the source of the
artillery booms on the outskirts
of Kharkiv was Roman Balakely-
ev, dressed in camouflage, a dou-
ble-barreled shotgun slung over
his shoulder.
“I live here; this is my home.
I’m going to defend it,” said
Balakelyev. “I don’t think the
Russians understand me like I
understand them.”
A short while later, Balakely-
ev reached the edge of the city,
where the Ukrainian troops
were huddled around the aban-
doned Russian troop transports.
They watched as he passed. No
one moved to stop him. One sol-
dier uttered: “Intent on victory.”
Balakelyev, his gaze fixed and
his shotgun ready, headed down
the road in the direction of the
booms and a tall billboard that
read: “Protect the future:
UKRAINE-NATO-EUROPE.”

An oil leak could mean financial ruin for
your family. State lawmakers can help.
A
catastrophic expense can be life-altering.
People can lose their homes. Forgo impor-
tant medical treatment. Empty out their
kids’ college savings accounts. Sink into
depression.
In this country, much of the attention has focused
on the catastrophic health care costs that are too often
imposed on ordinary people. But a recent story by
Globe consumer advocacy reporter Sean Murphy high-
lighted another, lesser-known problem: the enormous
expense that can come with a home heating oil leak.
Heating homes with oil is rare outside the Northeast,
but about 650,000 homeowners in Massachusetts still
use oil for heat. The piece focused on a young couple,
Emmaline and Brian Proctor, who seemed likely to lose
their Wareham home after their oil tank spilled about
25 gallons of oil in their basement. State environmental
laws require them to pay for a clean-up that could cost
$185,000, according to contractors’ estimates — or
more than half of what they paid for the house. And
their insurance, it appeared, wouldn’t cover it.
After the story appeared, the couple’s insurer
agreed to provide coverage. But other homeowners ha-
ven’t been so lucky. They’ve been stunned to find out
that what they thought was a comprehensive insur-
ance policy didn’t provide coverage, forcing them to

A slap on the wrist for a bigoted
assault in East Boston
Stephanie Armstrong (left) and Jenny Ennamorati appeared for arraignment on charges of assault and
battery and civil rights violations, at East Boston District Court, March 9, 202o.
W
hat is the appropriate punishment for a
hate crime?
For the Latinx mother and her teen
daughter who were allegedly assaulted
for speaking Spanish in East Boston two
years ago in what fits the definition of a hate crime, justice
hasn’t been fully served.
In that incident, two white women from Revere, Jenny
Leigh Ennamorati and Stephanie M. Armstrong, allegedly
attacked the mother and her daughter without provocation
near the Maverick Square T station. Ennamorati and Arm-
strong allegedly began shouting at the victims seemingly be-
cause they were speaking Spanish. According to Ms. Vasquez
(who asked to be identified by her last name only), she and
her daughter were punched, kicked, and bitten by the sus-
pects, who yelled at them: “Go back to your country” and
“This is America! Speak English!” According to police, En-
namorati and Armstrong thought Vasquez and her daughter
were mocking them in Spanish, even though they couldn’t
understand the language. The altercation was captured by a
nearby business’s surveillance camera.
Both suspects were charged with two counts of assault
and battery and two counts of violating another person’s civ-
il rights with bodily injury — all misdemeanor charges. En-
namorati was additionally charged with assault and battery
with a dangerous weapon (footwear, in this case), which is a
felony.
But last week, it was announced Ennamorati’s case was
resolved via a “disparate plea,” in which prosecutors and de-
fense attorneys make their own recommendations and a
judge ultimately comes to a decision. Ennamorati admitted
to “sufficient facts” in all five charges. Prosecutors wanted
Ennamorati to get two years probation and 50 hours of com-
munity work served in the immigrant community affected
by the hate crime. But an East Boston Municipal Court judge
sentenced her to 15 months probation and a substance
abuse evaluation. If she meets the conditions of probation,
Ennamorati’s charges will be dismissed. (Armstrong intends
to take her case to trial.)
It’s a disappointment and a missed opportunity that the
judge ignored the community service possibility for En-
namorati, because it would have addressed the community
harm caused by this hateful incident. Remediation of hate
crimes has to engage the community or the protected class

common “pollution exclusions” leave too many fami-
lies stranded.
A bill before lawmakers now, filed by Senator Anne
M. Gobi of Central Massachusetts, would secure the
protection Massachusetts homeowners deserve — re-
quiring insurers to provide oil leak coverage. The in-
surance lobby has argued that the measure is unfair
because it would force customers who heat with natu-
ral gas or electricity to pay for oil leak coverage. But
that argument isn’t very convincing. Insurance is de-
signed to spread risk. Indeed, oil heat customers are al-
ready subsidizing coverage for fires caused by electrical
heating systems and explosions caused by natural gas
heating systems.
To be sure, an oil leak insurance requirement will
mean more risk for insurers. But with more and more
homeowners converting from oil to natural gas, and
new construction favoring gas, that risk is likely to de-
cline. State law also requires homeowners to install
safety equipment designed to limit and prevent oil
spills, and they have been gradually putting it in place
— often at the prompting of oil companies conducting
annual inspections. That, too, is reducing risk.
Catastrophic expenses can be, well, catastrophic.
And if lawmakers can easily prevent them, they
should.
ARAM BOGHOSIAN FOR THE BOSTON GLOBE
affected in some shape or form.
“The victims felt strongly that this crime went far beyond
the physical assault,” said Oren Sellstrom, litigation director
at Lawyers for Civil Rights, the nonprofit providing legal aid
to the victims. “It was an attack on them and, by extension,
on their entire community.”
It’s clear the assault was rooted in bias and targeted a
fundamental aspect of Vasquez and her daughter’s identity.
East Boston is the only majority-Latino neighborhood in
the city. It would have been a measure of justice for the vic-
tims if the judge had required Ennamorati to work and in-
teract with the robust immigrant community in East Boston
in a meaningful way.
In moving victim’s impact statements, Vasquez and her
daughter both said that they live in fear of speaking Spanish
in public and being targeted for their accents. “We felt safe
because we live in a diverse community,” said Vasquez. “I feel
intense fear when walking past the location where this hap-
pened, which is an area I would visit often because this is my
neighborhood,” said her daughter. “This has led to feelings of
depression, isolation, and distrust in other people.”
The act of coming forward to denounce a hate crime,
identify the suspects, and press charges is no small thing.
Vasquez and her daughter deserve credit for their courage.
Here’s why: Hate crimes have been trending upward in
Massachusetts — there were 385 hate crimes reported in
2020, up from 376 in 2019. But hate crimes are not only typ-
ically underreported, they’re also under-prosecuted, accord-
ing to lawmakers who want to update the state’s hate crime
statutes. A bill would simplify and clarify the two sections of
state law that address offenses that involve racial bias by
combining them, and it would also add protected classes,
like immigration status and gender.
Sellstrom believes the legislation is a helpful step but not
a silver bullet. “The problem with hate crimes is not primari-
ly with how the law is written, it’s how it’s enforced — or not
enforced,” he said.
Justice is often imperfect, if it’s achieved at all. In this case,
while the punishment may have fallen short, the publicity
around it may prevent other hate crimes. One can only hope.

Take what we learned with
apartheid: Divesting is the answer
The article “State pension fund joins climate fight: Votes to
pressure companies to act” (Metro, Feb. 18) reminded us
of the 1980s campaign to divest from companies operating
in apartheid South Africa. At the time, the Rev. Leon Sulli-
van proposed principles for shareholder action that urged
US companies operating in South Africa to require equal
treatment for all workers instead of their divesting from
South Africa. They did not question the legitimacy of the
apartheid system. Responding to this, Archbishop Des-
mond Tutu asserted that Black South Africans did not
want their shackles polished, they wanted them removed.
The Massachusetts Legislature agreed with Tutu and, with
broad community support, passed a law requiring the state
pension fund to divest from these companies.
The recent vote by the state Pension Reserves Invest-
ment Management Board, which calls for using sharehold-
er power to alter company behavior, is similar to the Sulli-
van Principles in that it “is an alternative to fossil fuel di-
vestment.” Global fossil fuel divestment commitments are
now approaching $40 trillion, of which nearly 12 percent
is pension funds. We hope that the state pension fund joins
the global effort to divest from fossil fuel companies and
does not settle for more incremental approaches.

Merely prodding companies
to change is not enough
The article “State pension fund joins climate fight” over-
looks the failed history of shareholder action as a forceful
measure against climate change. While it has resulted in
some minimal gains, none were on a scale commensurate
to the climate catastrophe we are facing.
Divestment, on the other hand, represents a powerful
statement that our money should be helping to find solu-
tions to the climate crisis, not prolonging it. Divestment on
a great scale ($40 trillion so far) deals a blow to the plans of
the fossil fuel industry to keep expanding in the face of an
existential crisis.
Further, why would we even want our money in an in-
dustry whose products we are legally bound to stop using
in the next 30 years? Our pensioners want a habitable
planet for their children and grandchildren.

South Africa, to demands to cut ties with the National Ri-
fle Association, pressure campaigns have a long history,
and they often work. Top law students who refuse to take
jobs with firms that represent fossil fuel companies are
participating in a similar type of protest (“With climate
at risk, a new legal strategy,” Page A1, Feb. 22).
Like the campaign to divest from fossil fuels, the law
students’ commitment to out those firms that are com-
plicit in global warming is drawing a clear line in the
sand: We will not support fossil fuel companies that are
profiting from the destruction of our planet.
This protest helps to tighten the screws against these
companies, and we should all applaud it.

Deny representation as a cudgel?
What are they teaching
these law students?
The stand being taken by certain students at Harvard
Law School and elsewhere — that major law firms should
refuse to represent those entities that are engaged in the
fossil fuel industry — is disturbing (“With climate at risk,
a new legal strategy”). To begin with, there is no logic in
taking a position that “major” law firms cannot represent
a particular client or class of clients, but, presumably,
non-major firms or individual practitioners can. Thus,
the argument really is that no lawyer or law firm should
undertake to represent those engaged in the fossil fuel in-
dustry.
To suggest that any particular client or class of clients
should be denied representation in criminal matters is an
attack upon the basic right to counsel enshrined in the
Sixth Amendment to our Constitution. And while there is
no constitutional right to counsel in most civil matters, to
argue that all lawyers and law firms should deny repre-
sentation in civil matters to any particular client or class
of clients who stand ready to pay for such representation
is unconscionably to disadvantage such clients in any civ-
il proceeding.
That a substantial number of students in what many
consider to be the finest law school in the United States
should take the position advocated by those described in
this article speaks ill of the current level of law school
scholarship and teaching.

is mobilizing
in climate fight
Elders have already made
a difference in Massachusetts
Re “ ‘We have done more damage to the planet than any
other generation:’ With Third Act, boomers mobilize
again, this time for the climate and voting rights” (Page
A1, Feb. 24): I appreciate the story by Robert Weisman. In
Massachusetts, elders have been among the many people
leading the fight for effective climate and environmental
justice legislation for the last few years. Just last March,
the governor signed into law the climate bill known as the
2050 Roadmap. This bill was passed with the efforts of El-
ders Climate Action, with its 1,000 Massachusetts mem-
bers working alongside 350 Mass, Mothers Out Front, the
League of Women Voters, and other groups.
Elders have a unique perspective as lobbyists: concern
for the well-being of future generations. Lawmakers pay
attention to what we say because they respect our per-
spective, and they know we vote. We take the time to get
educated on the science of climate change and the various
legislation. We also show up on Beacon Hill during busi-
ness hours. And when we show up on protest lines, our
age shows, and it matters.

Let’s not blame ourselves when
fossil fuel industry is the culprit
It was painful to see the Globe front-page headline placing
primary responsibility for global warming on older adults
with the quote “We have done more damage to the planet
than any other generation.” This age bias obscures the role
of the fossil fuel industry, which is guilty of the greatest
amount of harm and of a long, expensively funded cover-
up of the facts. The industry chiefs must be relishing all
this cohort scapegoating.
Robert Weisman’s well-sourced article reports that old-
er adults are becoming more active in the movement. It
should go without saying that many older adults are ur-
gently active. Responsible people of every age and in every
walk of life are mobilizing. Irresponsible people of all ages
are still buying monster cars and McMansions. Republi-
cans of all ages are obstructing President Biden’s Build
Back Better bill, which could actually help prevent the de-
struction of the planet.
So, it is also painful to see older adults themselves
making such a dangerously absurd statement as the one
quoted in the headline. Age-blaming is sinister. It only
helps the wicked.

and attributed her values to her
family and upbringing, as a
daughter of teachers, including
one who became a lawyer, and a
niece and sister of police offi-
cers. She is married to Dr. Pat-
rick Jackson, a Georgetown Uni-
versity cancer surgeon, and they
have two children, Talia and Lei-
la Jackson.
“I am standing here today by
the grace of God as testament to
the love and support I’ve re-
ceived from my family,” she said,
adding that she was equally in-
spired by the late US District
Judge Constance Baker Motley,
the first Black woman appointed
to a federal judgeship, and that
they shared a “steadfast and cou-
rageous commitment to equal
justice under law.”
“If I’m fortunate enough to
be confirmed as the next associ-
ate justice of the Supreme Court
of the United States, I can only
hope that my life and career, my
love of this country and the con-
stitution, and my commitment
to upholding the rule of law and
the sacred principles upon
which this great nation was
founded will inspire future gen-
erations of Americans,” she said.
Senate majority leader Chuck
Schumer, a Democrat from New
York, vowed to move swiftly on
Jackson’s confirmation to quick-
ly fill the vacancy created by Jus-
tice Stephen G. Breyer’s retire-
ment in January, in what is ex-
pected to be a partisan process.
Jackson, 51, a highly respect-
ed US appeals judge from the
District of Columbia circuit,
clerked for Breyer two decades
ago, a year of experience that she
has called highly formative in
her legal career. She is said to
have the same judicial tempera-
ment and keen sense for the bal-
ance of law as her former men-
tor. Her confirmation would pre-
serve a liberal-leaning voice on a
court that weighs heavily con-
servative.

Still fighting. Two years ago
this week Ahmaud Arbery was
followed, hunted, and shot to
death. The three white men re-
sponsible for lynching the 25-
year-old were not arrested for
months. Had it not been for a
leaked video gone viral, there
may never have been a trial.
Tuesday, a Georgia jury
found all three white men who
murdered Arbery guilty of a
federal hate crime. A rare con-
viction.
“What I try to tell myself is
these institutions and racism is
so deeply deeply rooted, it’s tak-
en hundreds of years to put
these systems in place, you
can’t change it all in 10 years,”
said Hodan Hashi, cofounder of
Black Boston, a nonprofit fight-
ing for equity and justice.
Hashi was 13 when Martin
was murdered.
“What I took away at that
time is no matter what we look
like, even as children, we are
seen as threats to society, and
that’s a lot to come to terms
with at 13. We talk about criti-
cal race theory, racism, and
slavery and white kids being af-
fected by learning about this
but the conversation isn’t being
had about how racism affects us
as kids,” Hashi said.
“It is kind of the reason why
I do everything that I do, why
we started Black Boston, why I

tics,” she said. “There is a lot of
work to be done but how do we

Harvard Law School in 1996.
She also served as supervising
editor of the Harvard Law Re-
view.
In addition to her training
under Breyer, Jackson clerked
for two judges at the federal
courthouse in Boston: Judge
Bruce M. Selya of the First Cir-
cuit Appeals Court and District
Judge Patti B. Saris, a former
District Court chief. With that
work, she completed the rare tri-
fecta of clerkships at all three
levels of the federal judiciary.
And she has remained close with
all three judges. They each spoke
at her investiture ceremony fol-
lowing her appointment as a US
District Court judge in D.C. in
2013; Breyer administered her
oath of office.
“I have no doubt that Judge
Jackson will be the kind of judge
who blends common sense and
pragmatism with this overarch-
ing sense of justice,” Saris said at
the time.
Saris added that Jackson
“loved the drama of the litiga-
tion,” and she worked on chal-
lenging cases on a wide range of
issues, including claims brought
by Boston University students
under the Americans with Dis-
abilities Act and a constitutional
challenge to a state sex offender
registry board.
‘She strives to be fair, to be right,
to do justice.’
PRESIDENT BIDEN
For several years beginning
around 2011, Saris and Jackson
also served together on the US
Sentencing Commission, includ-
ing when Saris was chair, help-
ing to revise sentencing guide-
lines for federal crimes. Their
work helped lead to a reduction
in sentences for drug crimes,
and the reductions retroactively
applied to thousands of defen-
dants convicted during the
tough-on-crime era of the 1980s
and 1990s.

“When I think of Trayvon, I
think of how a George Zimmer-
man gets made. He’s not an in-

believing their violence is au-

their country, they get to act as
the state, to deputize them-
selves,” said Saida Grundy, as-
sistant professor of sociology,
African-American Studies, and

Boston University.

be the first justice with a back-
ground in criminal defense to
join the court in more than a
half-century, since Thurgood
Marshall became the first Black
person appointed to the court in
1967. He retired in 1991. Legal
analysts said her background
could bring a new perspective to
a court that is largely made up of
former prosecutors and lawyers
who worked in civil law.
Jackson was an assistant
public defender in the District of
Columbia, specializing in ap-
peals. She is also a member of
the Judicial Conference Commit-
tee on Defender Services. She
worked for private firms focus-
ing on criminal appeals work
and white-collar crime in state
and federal courts before she
was named a district judge in

said.
“I think about the trauma
done to that family and to a
whole community. This isn’t
about individuals. This is about
sanctioned levels of violence,”
she said.
Boston City Councilor Ricar-
do Arroyo was in law school,
studying to be a public defend-
er, when Zimmerman went
free.
“Trayvon Martin was mur-
dered and he was put on trial
for his own murder. I was infu-
riated with that,” said Arroyo,
who is running for Suffolk dis-
trict attorney. “Where have we
come, where have we gone

the most powerful outside the
US Supreme Court. Three Re-
publican senators, Susan Collins
of Maine, Lindsey Graham of
South Carolina, and Lisa
Murkowski of Alaska, supported
her confirmation to the appeals
court last year.
In a sharply divided Senate,
Jackson’s confirmation process
will likely center on some of her
most recent decisions, particu-
larly those related to the Trump
administration, which could be-
come a lightning rod amid to-
day’s polarized Washington poli-
tics. The Republican National
Committee, for instance, was
quick to call her “radical” after
her nomination Friday.
As a district judge, Jackson
ruled in 2018 in favor of federal
employees who had challenged
President Donald Trump’s exec-
utive orders limiting the rights
of federal workers to negotiate
their workplace conditions. Ear-
lier this month, she also ruled in
favor of federal workers who had
challenged new limitations on
bargaining rights — her first
written opinion as an appeals
judge.
She also ruled in 2019 that
Trump’s White House counsel at
the time, Donald F. McGahn II,
had to comply with a House sub-
progress on that.”
Where we have seen change,
Arroyo said, is in civic engage-
ment, in dialogue, in political
power.
“Folks don’t want to hear
just thoughts and prayers, they
want systemic reform. We still
have a long way to go, but with
Trayvon Martin and Michael
Brown and Ferguson, there was
a politicization of a generation,”
he said.
“We have gotten to a place
where the electorate in some
cities and states are not going
to allow for things we can par-
ticipate in to do things in our
name any longer. We do that
through elections,” he added.
Trayvon Martin’s mother,
Sybrina Fulton, became a social
justice activist with over 20
years of government work expe-
rience. She ran for and almost

poena requesting his testimony
as part of the first impeachment
probe. She ruled that McGahn
could possibly refuse to answer
some questions “on the basis of
privilege.”
Conservatives accused her of
partisanship. The McGahn deci-
sion was later reversed by a fed-
eral appeals court.
But she also ruled in Trump’s
favor on other matters, such as
when she dismissed a lawsuit
against the Trump administra-
tion in relation to his efforts to
build a wall along the US-Mexico
border in New Mexico.
Biden said Friday that he rec-
ognized the gravity of a Supreme
Court appointment, and sought
guidance from leaders in both
political parties who support
Jackson. Political leaders react-
ed quickly Friday to Biden’s
nomination.
Former House speaker Paul
Ryan, who has distant family
ties to Jackson through mar-
riage, applauded her nomina-
tion Friday, saying, “Our politics
may differ, but my praise for Ket-
anji’s intellect, for her character,
and for her integrity, is unequiv-
ocal.”

But American ritual is to de-
cide whose citizenship matters,
to police whose lives are worth
saving.

Amir Locke was murdered
by Minneapolis police serving a
no-knock warrant earlier this
month. And when a fight broke
out between two teenagers in a
New Jersey mall two weeks
ago, it was the Black boy with
police kneeling on his back,
who was arrested, despite the
other teen admitting wrongdo-
ing, too.
It was this month, a Minne-

ask us to empathize with
Daunte Wright’s murderer, for-
mer officer Kim Potter, as she
issued a sentence of two years
in his killing. Black people get
more time for nonviolent of-

Somehow, to say a Black life

Hate crimes
worry Rollins
US Attorney Rachael
Rollins has spent more
time than she expected
in her new role going
after perpetrators of
hate crimes.
Earlier this month,
her office indicted a
man from Maine for
burning down a Black church in Springfield
in 2020. Rollins points out that this was the
second church burned in that city; another
was torched on Nov. 5, 2008, just hours after
Barack Obama was elected America’s first
Black president.
In addition, an East Longmeadow man
was sentenced to five years in federal prison
last week. His offense was placing a lit fire-
bomb in the entrance of a Jewish assisted-liv-
ing facility in 2020.
And in perhaps the oddest recent hate-
crime case, Alexander Giannakakis, formerly
of Quincy, was arrested in a Stockholm suburb
and charged with obstructing an investigation
into four fires set at Jewish-related institu-
tions in Arlington, Needham, and Chelsea.
The prime suspect in those fires was his
younger brother, who was hospitalized and
fell into a coma a few months after the last
fire. He died, without ever regaining con-
sciousness, in 2019, and Alexander Gianna-
kakis dropped out of sight. Now he is in cus-
tody, awaiting extradition.
Some of these cases have attracted signifi-
cant public attention. But others have caused
barely a ripple.
Rollins is anything but naive about the en-
during presence of racism and antisemitism.
But the crimes strike a nerve, in part because
so many Massachusetts residents smugly as-
sume that hate of this flagrant sort is some-
thing that happens somewhere else.
“It is just unreal that we are dealing with
church burnings,” Rollins said. “We can’t be
lulled into this sense that this ideology
doesn’t exist here — that we’re Northerners
and we’re better because we’re above the Ma-
son-Dixon line.”
It’s the casual public reaction to these inci-
dents that both confounds and worries her.
“Are we getting numb?” Rollins asked.
“When you think about the vicarious trau-
ma we have all experienced watching George
Floyd murdered, watching Ahmaud Arbury,
when we hear an antisemitic slur or a church
burned — or almost burned — do we just
move on to the next trauma?”
That’s a fair question in this far-too-fre-
quently traumatized age.
Springfield, in particular, has drawn atten-
tion from the US attorney’s office in recent
years. Under Rollins’s predecessor, Andrew
Lelling, the city’s narcotics unit was found to
have engaged in a pattern of discriminatory
behavior toward suspects. It’s believed that
was the only such finding by the Trump Jus-
tice Department.
As Suffolk DA, Rollins dealt with her share
of hate crimes, including a racially motivated
double-murder in Winthrop and an attack on
a rabbi in Brighton last year. But her federal
role has given her a different sense of the
scope of attacks that occur across Massachu-
setts.
Rollins said she sees some grounds for op-
timism, citing the stellar antiracist work of
such groups as the ADL and the NAACP.
She said she was heartened, too, by the
Justice Department’s successful prosecution
of the killers of Ahmaud Arbury, and a strong
statement by Attorney General Merrick Gar-
land that the federal government will not tol-
erate such behavior.
Still, the recent cases are a reminder that
progress on racism doesn’t follow a consistent
upward trajectory.
“It’s always a fight,” Rollins said. ”We
make progress, and then something hap-
pens.”
That said, the haters — while clearly pres-
ent — are outliers fighting a losing battle, in a
culture tilting hard toward inclusion.
“What I’m optimistic about is that my
daughter and niece are growing up in a world
where Michelle Wu is their mayor and Ayan-
na Pressley is their congresswoman and Ed
Markey and Elizabeth Warren are their sena-
tors,” Rollins said.
“But we really have to keep our eye on the
prize as far as calling things what they are
and calling things out that are racist or anti-
semitic.”
While individual cases must be, and are
being, addressed, it’s the scope of the prob-
lem that should concern all of us. It takes so
many forms: from a church burning in
Springfield to the long-tolerated racism in a
high school football program in Duxbury,
where antisemitic language was incorporated
into the team’s play calls.
When it comes to acting out of hate, Mas-
sachusetts isn’t nearly as exceptional as some
residents would like to think.
Not every church burning is in Mississip-
pi. Sometimes they happen in Western Mas-
sachusetts.

SARAH ROBERTS PAVED
PATH TO DESEGREGATION
By Brittany Bowker

This Black History Month, the
Globe is saluting people who have
made a difference in Massachusetts.
In 1847, 5-year-old Sarah Rob-
erts walked past five elementary
schools every day on her way to the
segregated public school the City of
Boston required her to attend.
The Abiel Smith School on Bea-
con Hill was one of a number of all-
Black schools in the city, and it was
far from where the Roberts family
lived. Sarah had been denied enroll-
ment in every other public school in
partment of Slavic Languages and
Literatures. “As a citizen of Russia, I
don’t know what I can do to stop it,
what I can do to express the outrage
that I have.”
She heard of a protest planned to
at the Russian embassy in Estonia,
and said she hoped to attend.
President Vladimir Putin’s attack
on Ukraine entered its second day
Friday, with at least 137 Ukrainians
killed and dozens more wounded. In
Russia, citizens took to the streets,
with hundreds arrested in anti-war
protests across the country Thurs-
day, according to the Associated

would go on to define the struggle
to desegregate schools in America

action
AG says Brookline
can’t use town rules
to curb fossil fuels
By Sabrina Shankman
GLOBE STAFF
In a move widely seen as a setback
for cities and towns hoping to acceler-
ate their climate efforts, Attorney
General Maura Healey on Friday
ruled that the Town of Brookline’s ef-
forts to use zoning bylaws to stop fos-
sil fuels in new buildings violated
state law.
This is the second time that Hea-
l e y ’s o f f i c e h a s r u l e d a g a i n s t
Brookline’s attempts to stop fossil fu-
els, and the latest stumbling block has
climate advocates wondering: If this
can’t happen here, in progressive
Massachusetts, where a strong cli-
mate law is on the books, will it be
able to happen at a fast enough pace
anywhere to stave off the worst of cli-
mate change?
“When you say that local govern-
ments aren’t allowed to try these nov-
el but fully lawful approaches to re-
ducing greenhouse gases, you’re not
only preventing the local government
from responding to the direct needs
of their residents but also from per-
haps developing a new model for
their neighbors to start adopting as
well,” said Amy Turner, a senior fellow
for the Cities Climate Law Initiative at
Columbia University’s Sabin Center.
This years-long effort by Brookline
has been watched all over the country,
and particularly in Massachusetts, as
cities and towns try to step up the
pace of climate action on a local level,
even as states lag behind.
In Brookline, the decision felt dev-
astating to the town meeting mem-
bers behind the effort, which had
been approved at a Town Meeting in
July by a margin of 206 to 6.
“It feels like I’m a child whose par-
ents have gone out of their way not to
give me permission to clean my own
room,” said Jesse Gray, one of the peti-
tioners behind Brookline’s efforts.
“We need to do this to meet the state’s
own climate goals, but what they have
made abundantly clear is that they
are not going to allow any municipali-
ty to do this, even though it’s a basic
and necessary and urgent climate
step.”
The decision from Healey’s office
in many ways echoed what the resi-
dents of Brookline — and the many
other cities and towns hoping to fol-
low in its footsteps — have heard be-
fore: that while the office agrees with
the principal of what Brookline wants

South Boston’s St. Patrick’s Day pa-
rade is back.
Typically one of Boston’s largest
annual celebrations, the parade,
which can draw more than a million
revelers to Southie’s streets, bar-
rooms, and house parties, is sched-
uled to start this year at 1 p.m. on
March 20, following a two-year hiatus
because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“As the first American city to cele-

Second teen arrested in man’s slaying

A 15-year-old boy has become the second teenager charged with
murder in the fatal shooting of 22-year-old Fabio Andrade-Mon-
teiro earlier this month, the office of Plymouth District Attorney
Timothy J. Cruz said Friday. Jeremy Depina, who lives in Brock-
ton, was arrested in Taunton late Thursday and is being held
awaiting arraignment in Brockton District Court on Monday,
Cruz’s office said in a statement. The statement did not indicate
whether Depina is represented by a lawyer. Wednesday morning,
police arrested Tashawn Brown, 17, at his Brockton home on a
charge of murder in the Andrade-Monteiro case. Brown pleaded
not guilty at his arraignment in Brockton District Court, where
he was held without bail, according to the statement. Brown is
due back in court March 17. On Feb. 10, multiple people called
911 just past 10 p.m. to report a shooting at 102 Ash St. in Brock-
ton, where police found Andrade-Monteiro suffering from a gun-
shot wound to the head, according to the statement. Andrade-
Monteiro was taken to Good Samaritan Medical Center in Brock-
ton, where he was pronounced dead shortly after midnight.
Depina and Brown were arrested following an investigation that
involved witness interviews and the review of cellphone records
and surveillance video, the district attorney’s office said.

A Boston couple is being of-
fered as much as $750,000 for
one of their valet parking spots
as they prepare to sell their con-
dominium, the Wall Street Jour-
nal reported.
The Journal identified the
couple as Douglas Reeves, 68,
and Amy Reeves, 59, who are
listing their 4,000-square-foot
condo — which boasts four bed-
rooms and dazzling views of the
Charles River and Public Gar-
den — for $10.5 million.
City assessing records show
the Reeves’ condo at 100 Beacon
St. has an assessed value of $6.8
million.
Crucially, the lavish resi-
dence also includes not one but
two covered valet parking spac-
es, the Journal reported, and
Amy Ree ves told the paper
they’ve refused offers from po-
tential buyers offering up to
$750,000 for just one space. A

While a Charlie Card is
slightly more affordable, it’s not
unprecedented for prime park-

Smith College president to step down

Wu’s vaccination mandate fight continues
By Danny McDonald
GLOBE STAFF
The battle over Mayor Mi-
chelle Wu’s attempts to impose a
COVID-19 vaccination mandate
on Boston’s city workforce con-
tinued Friday, with city authori-
ties saying they were filing an
appeal of a court ruling last
week that blocked enforcement
of the requirement for a trio of
public safety unions.
Wu had previously hinted
that city attorneys would likely
appeal Justice Sabita Singh’s rul-
ing, which granted an injunction
that prevented the city from en-
forcing the mandate for the
three unions that sued Wu and
her administration over the new
rules.
On Friday, city officials sig-
naled that they had filed a notice
to do just that.
In a statement to the Globe, a
city spokesperson expressed
confidence in Wu’s legal strategy.
“Courts across the country
have repeatedly recognized the
rights of state and local govern-
ments to require full vaccination
of public employees. Our appeal
will help ensure the City can pro-
tect public health moving for-
ward in line with that precedent
as we continue negotiating with
our labor partners.”
Trial Court spokeswoman
Jennifer Donahue said that the
appeals court was closed be-
cause of Friday’s snowstorm,
meaning “any electronically

The order the city is appeal-
ing was issued by a single justice
of the Appeals Court. The Wu
administration had 30 days from
Singh’s ruling to file notice of ap-
peal, and any appeal would go
before a panel of three justices of
the Appeals Court for “briefing
and decision,” Donahue said.
In all such appeals, the state’s
highest court, the Massachusetts
Supreme Judicial Court, may or-
der a case transferred to the SJC
for direct appellate review, said
Donahue. Some parties can seek
to file a petition with the SJC,
“but that is not the regular ave-
nue of appellate relief,” she said
in an e-mail.
On Friday, the Boston Police
Superior Officers Federation,
one of the unions involved in the
litigation, said it was disappoint-
ed in Wu’s decision to appeal,
saying it reflects a disregard for

“The Federation and our al-
lied public safety unions have
made several offers to Mayor
Wu’s advisors to resolve this dis-
pute and she has ignored them,”
the union said in a statement.
“Mayor Wu’s decision to con-
tinue litigating instead of meet-
ing with us at the bargaining ta-
ble is frustrating,” read the
union’s statement. “Our mem-
bers who have committed them-
selves to a life of service deserve
to be protected, respected, and
fairly treated.”
Singh’s ruling represented a
blow to Wu’s vaccination man-
date, and threw the future of
such a policy into question.
Just weeks into her term, Wu
announced in December that
she was requiring the city ’s
19,000-plus workers be vaccinat-
ed against COVID-19 to help
curb the spread of the virus and
ing option in lieu of vaccines,
adding that under her plan, vac-
cination would be a condition of
employment with the city of Bos-
ton — meaning unvaccinated
workers who do not receive an
exemption could be fired.
Wu’s vaccination mandate
has received vocal pushback
from opponents, with demon-
strators protesting outside her
Roslindale home and at her pub-
lic events. But Wu’s team has
credited her proposal with help-
ing raise the vaccination rate
among city employees, which
has topped 95 percent.
Public health experts widely
agree that vaccination against
COVID-19 is more effective at
curbing the disease’s spread
than testing alone, which pro-
vides only a snapshot in time of
whether an individual is infect-
ed.
The unions have accused Wu
of ignoring previous collective
bargaining agreements they
reached with the city last year.
They say it is wrong for the may-
or to make vaccination a condi-
tion of employment with the
city.
Singh’s order applies to only
the trio of unions that brought
the litigation against the city —
the Boston Firefighters Union
Local 718, Boston Police Superi-
or Officers Federation, and Bos-
ton Police Detectives Benevolent
Society — and not to other mu-
nicipal unions.

coming the latest leader of a high-profile Massachusetts college to
announce plans to leave their position. McCartney, appointed in
2013, in a message to the college community said “there is still
more work to do together to reach our aspirations to become
need-blind in college admission, to equalize the student experi-
ence, and to realize our full vision in career development.” She
did not disclose her future plans. She will focus the remainder of
her term on the school’s strategic priorities, the women’s college
said in a statement. McCartney said one of her priorities was
making the college more accessible and affordable, which the
school has done by expanding financial aid funding by 58 percent
and eliminating loans from financial aid packages. The search for
the school’s next president will start in the spring. (AP)

Teen charged in plot to attack mosque
An 18-year-old charged with having homemade explosive devices
in his backpack discussed plans to travel to Chicago to attack a
mosque and other houses of worship, federal prosecutors said.
Xavier Pelkey of Waterville was in communication with two juve-
niles about his plans to attack a mosque, and possibly a syna-
gogue, prosecutors said. A federal magistrate judge this week or-
dered him held without bail. “It’s fair to say that based on the in-
formation that investigators received, that this was more than
just talk,” Assistant US Attorney Craig Wolff said. Federal agents
discovered three improvised devices in Pelkey’s backpack during
a search of his Waterville apartment on Feb. 11, according to doc-
uments filed in US District Court. Pelkey is charged with posses-
sion of an unregistered destructive device, a felony that carries a
sentence of up to 10 years in prison. (AP)

Pieces of Underground Railroad marker given to Baker, Polito
By Charlie McKenna
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT
Pieces of a tree that once
marked a stop on the Under-
ground Railroad were given to
Governor Charlie Baker and
Lieutenant Governor Karyn Poli-
to by Brockton Mayor Robert F.
Sullivan on Wednesday after Sul-
livan discovered the cut-up tree
in the basement of a long-shut-
tered hotel.
The pieces of wood, cut from
the Liberty Tree that once stood
in the city, were given to Baker
and Polito ahead of a Brockton
press conference where Baker
announced a new $75 million
grant program to support Mas-
sachusetts small businesses im-
pacted by the COVID-19 pan-
demic.
In a recording of the press
conference, Baker can be seen
mouthing “wow” as he’s handed
the small disc of wood as those
in attendance applaud.
“Mayor, thank you very much
for a little piece of history here,
much appreciated,” Baker said.
Sullivan found the remaining
parts of the tree during a tour of

oped after it was sold by the city.
When the tree was initially cut
down, sections of it were distrib-
uted across the city.
The hotel building had been
vacant for 30 years or so, accord-
ing to Dave Wedge, a spokesman
for the city of Brockton.
The Liberty Tree was cut
down in 2004 after the city
brought in arborists to assess its
condition, Wedge said. The ar-
borists determined that the tree,
which had grown to be 4 feet in
diameter and was at risk of fall-
ing, was diseased and needed to
be cut down.
Before its removal from what
is now Frederick Douglass Ave-
nue, the Liberty Tree stood out-
side what were once the High
Street stables of hotel keeper Ed-
ward E. Bennett, an outspoken
abolitionist who hid people es-
caping enslavement in his barn,
the Globe reported in 2013.
Over time, the tree — which
some date to 1655 and others to
1800 — was a gathering place for
orators, from William Lloyd Gar-
rison and Frederick Douglass in
the pre-Civil War quest for free-
dom, to Lucy Stone and Lucretia
Mott, who championed a wom-
and laws. Shaw declared that
racial prejudice “is not created
by law, and probably cannot be
changed by law.”
The Massachusetts court
then established a precedent
that other state supreme courts
would follow.
In 1896, the US Supreme
Court referenced the Roberts
case as an example to uphold
racial segregation and the “sep-
arate but equal” doctrine in the
case of Plessy v. Ferguson. The
case determined that racially
segregated public facilities were
legal, as long as the facilities for
Black people and white people
were equal.

min Roberts lost their legal case

Noting that her office has
“prioritized the state’s transition
away from polluting fossil fuels
and towards a clean energy fu-

her hands were tied by state law.
Healey’s office pointed to an-
other process underway — the
development of a new opt-in,
net-zero building code that
could allow for towns like
Brookline to functionally ban
fossil fuels from new buildings
or gut rehabs. The state is obli-
gated by last year’s climate law
to enact such a code. But when it
unveiled the first draft of that
code earlier this month, advo-
cates were dismayed to see that
it still allowed for some fossil fu-

With the storm cleared out, cold air on the way
By Andrew Brinker
and Jeremy C. Fox
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT
After a winter storm blanket-
ed much of Massachusetts in
several inches of snow through-
out Friday, forecasters warned of
slick, icy roads overnight.
But forecasters said the com-
ing week will bring mostly clear
skies, along with below-average
temperatures.
Residents were encouraged
to avoid driving Friday night in-
to Saturday morning, as temper-
atures dropped into the low 20s,
refreezing any slush on the road-
ways.
“We do have rapidly falling
temperatures, so anything that
was not cleaned up earlier today
... will continue to freeze over-
night,” Kristie Smith, meteorolo-
gist with the National Weather
Service in Norton, said in an in-
terview. “It’s going to be pretty
cold tonight, so people should
take it pretty slow if they have to
be out on the roads.”
Scattered crashes were re-
building measures.
That code will be the subject
of ongoing public meetings and
input, and advocates say they
hope to see it better aligned with
a net-zero by 2050 climate goal.
But in the meantime, advocates
in Brookline say they feel like
they’re running out of options.
“We really don’t have author-
ity in any way to actually control
our climate future,” said Lisa
Cunningham, another co-peti-
tioner of the Brookline bylaws.
“It’s very simple. Our climate cri-
sis is being caused by fossil fuels,
and if we can’t even stop build-
ing new buildings with fossil fu-
els, we are heading in the wrong
direction.”
Brookline’s efforts have been
opposed by several entities, in-
cluding utilities, the Massachu-
setts Energy Marketers Associa-
tion, and the state Department
The Globe has reported that
overpayment notifications
soared after Congress passed
new jobless relief legislation in
December 2020. As part of the
bill, the DUA was required to ob-
tain documented proof of prior
employment from PUA recipi-
ents. Initially those people were
able to self-certify their eligibili-
ty. PUA was created for self-em-
ployed and gig workers who ar-
en’t covered by state unemploy-
ment.
The federal rule change —
and the attempts by an over-
whelmed DUA to implement it
while following strict Labor De-
partment guidelines — forced re-
cipients of overpayments to de-
vote many stressful weeks or
months trying to sort out the sit-

ported around the state through-
out the day, including a collision
between an MBTA commuter
rail train and a tractor trailer,
Littleton police said. Elsewhere,
tractor trailers were involved in
crashes in Fall River, Leomin-
ster, and Russell, according to
State Police.
Snowfall totals ranged from
highs such as 10.5 inches in
Winchester to lows on Cape Cod
of 1.8 inches in Yarmouth and 2
inches in Hyannis, according to
the weather service.
Smith said the accumulation
fell within the predicted range,
with a band from Lexington to
Burlington to Peabody receiving
about 10 inches — squarely in
the middle of the 8 to 12 inches
forecast.
In Boston and communities
farther north, heavy snowfall fell
for several hours Friday morning
before giving way to light flur-
ries by noon, and crews were out
in full force attempting to clear
roads.

of Public Utilities, which said
that the town’s efforts to reduce
greenhouse gases were laudable
but that “because they restrict
the sale of natural gas to new
and certain existing customers”
they were in direct conflict with
state law.
Tamara Small, the chief exec-
utive of NAIOP Massachusetts, a
lobbyist for developers and
building owners, said her orga-
nization was pleased with the at-
torney general’s decision. “While
NAIOP supports efforts to re-
duce carbon emissions, given
current technology, natural gas
bans are detrimental to the vital-
ity and continued growth of the
Commonwealth’s economy,” she
said in a statement.
When the town of Brookline
first proposed to ban fossil fuels
from new development in 2019,
towns and cities around the
uation. DUA notices were con-
fusing, its service agents were
impossible to reach, and many
people had long ago spent the
money.
“This is simply the right thing
to do,” said Abby Heim of Row-
ley, who had been told by the
DUA that she owes $80,000.
By a DUA tally earlier this
year, there were about 383,000
people with potential overpay-
ments of $2.6 billion, the large
majority of that from PUA and
other federal programs. Total
overpayments, including those
already resolved, likely far ex-
ceed that amount.

en out of service after it hit a city-
owned snow plow in Waltham
that had been abandoned on the
tracks, MBTA and Waltham offi-
cials said. It was not immediate-
ly clear why the plow was on the
country took note, said Amar
Shah, a manager on the Carbon-
Free Building Team of the Rocky
Mountain Institute, a nonprofit
organization of experts across
disciplines working to accelerate
the clean energy transition.
Until then, the movement
had been confined to California,
where moderate temperatures
made banning fossil fuel heat
less daunting. Brookline’s pro-
posal was seen as making a case
that even in a cold climate,
buildings could go fossil fuel-
free.
That effort hit a roadblock
with Healey’s 2020 ruling that
Brookline’s proposal violated
state law. But in the time since,
momentum has been building,
culminating most recently with
New York City passing a bill that
phases out fossil fuels in new
construction — the first major,
in cases where recipients could
not provide adequate substanti-
ation of past employment, a situ-
ation that triggered repayment
demands on more than $1 bil-
lion in claims.
The request came after the
Labor Department gave state
unemployment agencies more
flexibility to waive overpayments
caused by their own errors. It al-
so said it was open to proposals
from states on other conditions
for permitting blanket waivers.
The DUA now wants to grant
blanket waivers on all nonfraud-
ulent overpayment for PUA and
other federal programs rolled
out during the pandemic. Feder-
al rules permit waivers only for
people who weren’t at fault for
the overpayment and for whom

tracks, and the train’s 20 passen-
gers were transferred to another
train, MBTA spokesman Joe Pe-
saturo said.
On Friday, 580 flights arriv-
ing at or departing from Logan
International Airport at one
cold-climate city in the country
to do so. Meanwhile, as the list
of Massachusetts towns wanting
to ban fossil fuels in new build-
ings has grown, so far, none has
found a pathway to make it hap-
pen.
“There is a cost to waiting,”
said Shah, who has been coordi-
nating the effort among Massa-
chusetts towns hoping to ban
fossil fuels. The more fossil fuel
systems that get installed into
new buildings, he said, the
greater the risk that those build-
ings will require a costly retrofit
down the road, and the greater
the dependency of the commu-
nity on a fuel that must — ac-
cording to the state’s own law —
be phased out in the coming de-
cades.
There are now 30 Massachu-
setts towns that—like
Brookline—have said they want
being forced to repay the money
would go against what is known
as “equity and good conscience.”
The move puts the fate of
overpayment recipients in the
hands of Walsh and the Labor
Department, which said it was
reviewing Acosta’s letter but de-
clined to comment further.
Acosta didn’t say what would
happen to people who already
repaid the state or are in the pro-
cess of appealing or seeking an

decision represents a set back
for them, a few other avenues re-
main. Currently, Brookline and
four other communities (Acton,
Arlington, Concord, and Lexing-
ton) have home rule petitions
being considered by the legisla-
ture, which—if passed—would
allow the towns to pass fossil fu-
el bans for new construction.

first thing to do is stop digging,”
said state Representative Tommy
Vitolo of Brookline. “We must

selves a climate change hole from

But let’s not forget that there
is another group of people facing
more than $500 million in over-

fits. Baker’s team should help
these folks, too.

are all against this,” Vakhitova
said. “This is solely Putin’s deci-
sion. No one supports this.”
Because many forms of dissi-
dence are illegal in Russia, peo-
ple back home are not able to
publicly express how they feel,
she said. Vakhitova said she was
heartbroken for Ukrainians, and
heartbroken for ordinary Rus-
sian citizens outside the inner
circles of power who will be
harmed by the invasion.
People protesting publicly in
Russia are risking arrest and im-
prisonment, said Harlow Robin-
son, a professor emeritus of his-
tory at Northeastern University
who has studied Soviet and Rus-
sian arts and culture since the
1970s.
“ I w o u l d l i ke t o b e m o r e
hopeful about there being a
groundswell against what Putin
is doing in Russia. But at the
present time I think it is unlikely,
because people are terrified,
they’re scared,” Robinson said.
For Svitlana Malykhina, who
has ties to both Russia and
Ukraine, the situation is painful.
Coordinator of the Russian
Language Program at Boston
University, Malykhina grew up
in Kharkiv, Ukraine, the bilin-
gual child of a Ukrainian father
and a Russian mother, and she
still has relatives in both coun-
tries, she said in an interview
Thursday. “I can’t shake this feel-
ing of utter horror,” Malykhina
said. I knew that all the signs
pointed to a mass military build-
up on the Russian side, but still
… we couldn’t have imagined
that anything like this could
have happened.”
Malykhina said Russia and
Ukraine have a long history of
close ties but also of Ukraine
struggling for autonomy and an
independent identity. She said
many observers believe Putin is
trying to control Ukraine now —
while presenting himself to Rus-
sian audiences as a liberator— so
he can increase his public sup-
port ahead of the 2024 Russian
presidential election.
“There are so many people
like me who grew up in families
with relatives on both sides,”
said Malykhina, 58. Her loved
ones in Ukraine have been safe

dents with ties to Russia or the
former Soviet Union now find
themselves fielding questions
about the current conflict.
Alex Koifman grew up in Be-
larus when it was part of the So-
viet Union and has lived in New-
ton for more than two decades.
His family, like many Jewish
people in the former Soviet
Union, escaped to other coun-
tries when the nation collapsed,
and he no longer has relatives
there. Still, Koifman said, be-
DAVID L. RYAN/GLOBE STAFF
cause he grew up in the Soviet
Union, friends and neighbors
turn to him for explanations on
Russia’s actions.
“This was unexpected for me,
although I know what Russia is
capable of doing,” Koifman said.
“But this brazen attack, an all-
out attack, is something that I
didn’t expect.”
The questions, he said, usual-
ly come in three categories: Why
did this happen? What can we
do to help? And what will Russia
do next?
“On the question of why did
it happen — the answer is be-
cause Putin is a Russian bully
who wants to expand his lost
empire. And the superpower of
the US provided him this oppor-
tunity, because we showed weak-
ness,” he said. “Our weakness in-
vites this kind of aggression.”
Koifman said he would like to
see the US pressure Putin eco-
nomically by exporting oil and
natural gas to Europe, reducing
its dependency on Russian fossil
fuels.
As for the third question he is
often asked, what will happen
next, Koifman said, “Obviously I
cannot see the future, so I can-
not speculate. I wish I could.”

scholar at Worcester Polytechnic
Institute from August through
mid-January. During that time,

homes with WPI Business
School Professor Renata Kon-
rad. While Kleban was at WPI
she lived in Konrad’s home in
Newton, while Konrad was at
her institution and living in her
home in Lviv.
Kleban and her husband,
Taras, 39, returned to Ukraine at
the end of January. At that time,
Russian troops were already
massing along the border, but
for many Ukrainians the likeli-
hood of full-scale war seemed re-
mote, almost unthinkable. That
changed Thursday morning, and
the professor found herself con-
templating next moves.
At her apartment in Lviv,
she’s been packing essential
items — money, documents,
medicine, and some nuts and
dried fruit — into a backpack
that she can grab quickly in case
she and her husband have to
evacuate.
Kleban was considering tak-
ing a train to Medyka, a village
in southern Poland that’s on the
border of Ukraine. Poland is a
member of NATO, and officials
there are expecting a flood of ref-
ugees from Ukraine as the inva-
sion continues. But that’s now
not a viable option for Kleban
and her husband.
On Thursday, the State Bor-
der Guard Service of Ukraine an-
nounced that male citizens be-
tween the ages of 18 and 60
would be prohibited from travel-
ing outside the borders of
Ukraine. “That means my hus-
band won’t be able to leave the
country,” she said.
She’s also concerned about
her 40-year-old brother, Yura,
who lives in Lviv and has disabil-
ities.
“I don’t know if he can cross
the border,” she said.
Kleban was in her apartment
when she recently heard an air
raid siren, signaling that a Rus-
sian aircraft had potentially en-
tered the local airspace. The si-
rens are used to warn the public
“so people can hide,” she ex-
plained.
She has seen long lines of
people waiting to get cash from
ATM machines, get medicine
from pharmacies, and fuel up
their cars at gas stations.
She managed to buy some fu-
el for her vehicle at a gas station
late Thursday night. Customers
were limited to a maximum pur-
chase of 20 liters of gas per car,
she said. That’s the equivalent of
about 5 gallons, enough perhaps
to make it to the Polish border
50 miles away.
But Kleban said residents of
Lviv are also preparing for the in-
flux of people who are fleeing
from other parts of the country
that have been invaded by Russia.
“We’re getting ready for these
internally displaced people, so
we can host them,” she said.
At her university, spaces have
been set up for people to use as
shelters in case of emergency.
Food and water has been set
aside as well, she said.
Kleban said she is concerned
about the amount of misinfor-
mation being put out by the Rus-
sian government, describing the
invasion as a “peacekeeping mis-
sion” of sorts.
Russian President Vladimir
Putin said in a televised address
Thursday morning that he de-
cided to carry out the military
operation to protect people in
the separatist regions of eastern
Ukraine. But Kleban said that’s
not the case, and she fears that
people won’t understand the full
s c o p e o f w h at ’s h a p p e n i n g
across the country.
“They need to know the
truth. We are a peaceful country
not asking for any help [from
Russia],” she said. “This is liter-
ally an invasion.”

Thoughts of Ukraine add emotional
heft to Russian and Baltic program
By A.Z. Madonna
O
GLOBE STAFF
n the morning of Feb. 24,
America woke up to the sound
of air raid sirens over Kyiv,
broadcast to our television,
computer, and cellphone
speakers as journalists and civilians in
Ukraine and Russia documented war unfold-
ing in real time. All day, the images never
stopped coming. Families rolled suitcases
through parks, a young woman worked on a
laptop in a Lviv café as sirens continued to
sound, a woman bundled in a winter coat
shoved sunflower seeds at a Russian soldier
and ordered him to put them in his pockets so
“at least sunflowers (a Ukrainian national
symbol) will grow when you all die here,” anti-
war protesters in Moscow were shoved into
police vans.
There is no conceivable avenue for anyone
to have foreseen the coincidence of these
events with one of the Boston Symphony Or-
chestra’s most contemplative and emotionally
wrenching programs of the season, but it’s
enough to make one believe in synchronicity.
A Russian and Baltic program with the con-
ductor and soloists all hailing from countries

should never have become independent. In
the pealing sorrow of Arvo Pärt’s “Cantus in

sible not to hear echoes of those sirens and
church bells.
Singing out, and speaking
out, in ‘Dreaming Zenzile’
By Don Aucoin

he power of Miriam Makeba’s voice
was twofold: She could hold you
spellbound with the multifaceted
virtuosity of her performances, and
she could galvanize you into politi-
cal action as a living example of commitment to
social change.
Both dimensions of Makeba’s voice ring out
in “Dreaming Zenzile,” a stirring and altogether
outstanding musical portrait of the South Afri-
can singer-songwriter who fought against
apartheid and for civil rights.
Created by and starring the astonishing So-
mi Kakoma, who goes by Somi, “Dreaming Ze-
nzile” will be presented only through Sunday by
ArtsEmerson at the Emerson Paramount Cen-
ter. It richly deserves to be seen, heard, and felt.
Under the direction of Lileana Blain-Cruz,
who was recently at the helm of ArtsEmerson’s
“Iphigenia,” Somi throws herself into the role of
Makeba so completely that you almost feel as if
you’re actually watching the woman nicknamed
“Mama Africa.”
The exquisite artistry and sheer vibrancy of
Somi and her fellow cast members are even
more meaningful because “Dreaming Zenzile”
is the first in-person ArtsEmerson production
at the Paramount since March 2020, when the
pandemic forced the closure of theaters nation-
wide.
In a way, the jolting news of the Russian mil-
itary attack on Ukraine also added resonance to
Thursday night’s performance of “Dreaming Ze-
nzile.” After all, Makeba was someone who op-
posed oppression in all its forms. Hours after
seeing TV footage of the already-spiraling refu-
gee crisis in Ukraine, it was eerie to hear Somi-
as-Makeba say: “Remember the dignity of im-
migrants and refugees, those who make their
homes where they want to — or need to.”
Somi is a jazz vocalist (her album “Holy
Room: Live At Alte Oper” earned a Grammy
nomination last year) who proves to be an ac-

MUSIC REVIEW
BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
At Symphony Hall. Repeats Saturday and
Tuesday. www.bso.org
Of Dmitri Shostakovich’s reaction to the
death of Joseph Stalin in 1953, the late former
Globe music critic Michael Steinberg wrote, “I
imagine that the news …brought a momen-
tary and secret smile to his thin, downturned
lips.” Projecting messages of dissidence and
secret anti-Stalin commentary onto Shostak-
ovich’s music may be one of classical music
fandom’s favorite pastimes. But it’s almost in-
disputable that Shostakovich did keep some
of his most spiritually challenging works in
his desk drawer until he felt it was safe to un-
veil them after Stalin’s death.
His Violin Concerto No. 1 was one such
piece. He had been at work on it in 1948
when he was denounced for the second time
(fellow heavyweights Prokofiev and Khacha-
turian also got in trouble) for failing to create
music that served and glorified Stalin’s agen-
da. In the end, the concerto did not premiere
until 1955, and it’s easy to see why he kept it
under wraps. Its four movements alternate
slow-churning dark nights of the soul with
savage spectacles, with nary a note of triumph
to be found.

she’s a fine writer, although at 2½ hours
“Dreaming Zenzile” could be tighter. The per-
formance was extended a bit more Thursday
night by a major sound glitch, which the cast
responded to with equanimity, continuing to
perform until Somi paused and gently asked
that the problem be fixed. When the action re-
sumed a few minutes later, actor Aaron Marcel-
lus smoothly reentered his interrupted scene
with “As I was saying . . .”
Marcellus is part of a first-rate supporting
cast that also includes Naledi Masilo, Phumzile
Sojola, and Helen Marla White, backed up by a
skilled jazz band. Among the roles played by
Marcellus is that of Stokely Carmichael, later
Kwame Ture, a leader of the Black Power move-
ment whom Makeba married in 1968. Marcel-
lus and Somi possess genuine chemistry, espe-
cially when they team up for a duet on Makeba’s
“Love Tastes Like Strawberries.”
To frame her story, “Dreaming Zenzile” be-
gins with the concert performance in Italy in
November 2008 at which Makeba suffered a
heart attack and died at age 76. It’s just days af-
ter Barack Obama has been elected US presi-
dent (”It feels so good to have something to
hope for,” she says), and Makeba is reluctant
to leave this life, believing she still has more to
do.
But the spirits of her ancestors appear and
urge her to let go, assuring her that the work
she has done helps guarantee that the struggle

ho’s distinctive sonic palette, even the most
dissonant textures and soundscapes seem no
less natural than an improbably gnarled tree,
and this song cycle — written bespoke for
Komsi’s stratospheric range — truly shines
with the full heft of an orchestra behind the

Somi portrays Miriam Makeba in
“Dreaming Zenzile.”
From there, Makeba’s life comes back to her
in dreamlike fashion. There are scenes from her
youth in Prospect Township near Johannes-
burg, where the warmth of her family and com-
munity was chilled by the shadow of apartheid
and sudden raids by white police officers. (”Did
you know that Black South Africans have been
dispossessed of their land for some 350 years?”
Makeba says. “How can one NOT be political?”)
After becoming pregnant at 17, Makeba
marries the baby’s father, who proves to be bru-
tally abusive. She escapes that marriage and be-
gins to build a career as a singer, receiving a
major boost from Harry Belafonte. Her stance
against apartheid resulted in three decades as
an exile after the South African government re-
voked her passport. The pain of that separation
is evoked in “Dreaming Zenzile” when authori-
ties prevent her from returning home for her
mother’s funeral. Her marriage to Carmichael
also carried a cost, causing serious damage to
her career in the United States.
But this superb musical makes clear that
Makeba was willing to pay that price to meet
what she describes in “Dreaming Zenzile” as the
obligation to “lift our voices to speak truth to
power.” And it is equally clear that when Make-
ba asks herself at one point “Am I enough?,” the
only possible answer is yes.

ART
‘New Horizons’
at Pellas Gallery
brings NFTs to
Newbury Street
By Dana Gerber
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT
When you walk into the “New Horizons” show at
Pellas Gallery, the first visual you see on your right
isn’t one of the 10 pieces of digital art included in
the show. Instead, it’s a series of slides explaining
what NFTs are.
The slides try to break down, in somewhat sim-
ple terms, the notoriously boggling concept: An
NFT, or a non-fungible token, is a unique digital
certificate that signifies the ownership and authen-
ticity of a particular asset. That certificate is record-
ed with blockchain technology — a database stored
on thousands of networked computers that logs all
transactions. In the case of “New Horizons,” buying
an NFT means that you own an edition of one of the
artworks in the show, all currently displayed on
electronic monitors. But NFTs don’t have to be art
— they can be anything from a singular tweet to real
estate to a newspaper column.
If you’re still lost, don’t worry. “It’s basically what
I do all day long, explain to people NFTs,” joked
“New Horizons” curator Alex Ness. He’s hoping the
show, which opened Thursday and runs through
April 23, will help to clear things up.
BARRY CHIN/GLOBE STAFF
“New Horizons” curator Alex Ness (left) and
producer David Paredes at the Pellas Gallery
on Newbury Street.
Ness, a 26-year-old Marblehead native and first-
time curator, goes by the name NessGraphics in the
NFT world, where he is also an artist. Fifteen edi-
tions of his $15,000 piece, “FL1PP3R v.01, a loop-
ing animation of an ever-cycling pinball machine,
were available for purchase in the show. Thirteen of
the 15 have already sold; the remaining two will be
sold through a silent auction and a raffle. Next to
most of the monitors are pairs of headphones that
play music associated with the NFT — for Ness’s
work, it’s an ’80s-style techno tune.
“I wanted to highlight other commercially work-
ing artists that have been getting into NFTs,” said
Ness, who prior to NFT art made concert visuals. “I
said, ‘Just have a piece of art ready on this date and
you’ll be in the show.’ ”
As the show’s producer — professional poker
player David Paredes — explained it, the idea for the
show came about after he walked into “every art
gallery” on Newbury Street to talk to employees
about NFTs. Pellas Gallery owners Alfredo Pellas
and Isabel Arguello, both in their 20s, were recep-
tive. “We ended up having a three-hour conversa-
tion about NFTs,” said Pellas. They soon devised an
idea for an NFT show, and Paredes, who was a col-
lector of Ness’s work, tapped him to recruit artists.
“My goal with producing the show was to con-
vert traditional art collectors to viewing digital art
as a valid art form,” said Paredes, 42. By showing
the NFT artwork at a reputable gallery, he said, “a
person who would collect a painting or a photo-
graph . . . can see, ‘Oh, this is the same thing.’ ”
It’s debatable whether “New Horizons” is the
first NFT art show in Boston, as it has been billed.
Boston Cyberarts staged a show late last year that
included “early NFT artworks,” according to its
website, and the Globe reported last spring that
Brookline’s Praise Shadows Art Gallery was mount-
ing a show where the art was registered on block-
chain technology. But for the Pellas Gallery, which
opened in 2019, the show is an opportunity to make
a statement. “We wanted to impact Boston in some
way or another,” said Arguello. “We said, this is dif-
ferent, let’s take a risk, let’s do it.”
All of the artwork has a futuristic aesthetic edge.
“Layer 2 Enlightenment” by Raoul Marks shows an
astronaut floating in a sea of neon signs, until the
backdrop transforms into a forest scene. “Root
Cause Analysis” by the artist Gernge shows two ro-
bots performing surgery on a third. Most of the art
is animation, a few are still images. “It’s an interest-
ing dichotomy of tech and nostalgia,” Pellas said.
All the art in the show is listed on OpenSea, an
NFT marketplace. But most of the show is already
sold out, with some of the pieces being held for a si-
lent auction, a raffle, or for buyers who come into
the gallery in person. “It was more of a situation of
telling collectors ‘no,’ that they can’t collect a piece,
because there was just so much interest,” Ness said
NFTs aren’t without their controversies: Scams
aren’t unheard of, and the blockchain technology
used to store NFTs carries a high carbon footprint.
But they also don’t seem to be going away anytime
soon. One estimate by blockchain data platform
Chainalysis put the NFT market at a $41 billion val-
uation by the end of 2021, inching toward the $50
billion value of the traditional art and antiques mar-
ket in 2020, according to Business Insider. And NFT
exhibits and even full galleries devoted to NFTs are
popping up around the country, from Chicago to
New York City to Hollywood.
Pellas, too, believes “New Horizons” is just the
beginning. “We want to spread that knowledge, and
that’s something that’s really exciting,” he said.

Deadline looms on Jackson

Patriots have decision
to make on cornerback
By Nicole Yang
GLOBE STAFF
As the Patriots prepare for the NFL Scout-
ing Combine, the deadline looms over an im-
portant decision involving cornerback J.C.
Jackson.
Coach Bill Belichick and the Patriots have
until March 8 to decide whether they want to
place the franchise tag on Jackson, who will
turn 27 in November. The tag is a one-year,
nonnegotiable contract worth the average
salary of the top five players at the position.
For cornerbacks, that amount is projected to
be $17.3 million this year.
While Jackson understandably is hoping
to secure long-term money and stability, he
has said he would play on the franchise tag if
the Patriots elect to go that route. But when
the tag window opened Feb. 22, Jackson told
NBC Sports Boston he had not yet heard
from the Patriots — much to his disappoint-
ment.
“I guess they feel like they don’t need me,”
Jackson said. “I guess I can’t be that impor-
tant to them. I know I am, but they’re not
showing me.”
If the Patriots do not tag Jackson, they
will have to compete with incoming offers to
retain him. Jackson is set to become an unre-
stricted free agent — able to sign with any
team — when the new league year begins at
4 p.m. March 16. Agents and clubs can start
negotiating when the legal tampering period
opens at noon March 14.
The Steelers, Bengals, and Raiders are
among Jackson’s potential suitors. At least
one player has commenced the recruiting
process.
“I know a spot where you’ll be much ap-
preciated,” Bengals cornerback Mike Hilton
wrote to Jackson on Twitter Wednesday.
If he does hit the open market, Jackson
will command a hefty payday, one that the
Patriots may not be able (or willing) to af-
ford. For reference, Rams cornerback Jalen
Ramsey signed a five-year, $105 million ex-
tension in September 2020. His average an-
nual value of $21 million is the highest in the
league. Others at the top include Buffalo’s
Tre’Davious White at four years, $70 million,
and New Orleans’s Marshon Lattimore at
five years, $97.6 million.
Jackson proved to be essential to New
England’s defense last season, stepping up to
replace Stephon Gilmore as the team’s No. 1
cornerback. He recorded a team-high eight

interceptions and 23 passes defensed en
route to his first Pro Bowl. According to Pro Patriots cornerback J.C. Jackson had a team-high eight
PATRIOTS, Page C5 interceptions and was named to his first Pro Bowl in 2021.

New season,
new look for
Revolution
Despite record-setting
2021, Arena didn’t sit still
By Frank Dell’Apa
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

Last year, the Revolution completed the

best regular season in MLS history. This time,
they should show improvement, as Bruce Are-
na bolstered the roster with US national team-
ers Jozy Altidore, Omar Gonzalez, and Sebas-
tian Lletget. But don’t expect the Revolution to
finish with a record better than their 22-5-7
mark of last season.
Working against them is a demanding
schedule involving three competitions: CON-
CACAF Champions League, US Open Cup, and
the regular season, which begins with a visit to
the Portland Timbers Saturday night.
“Forget about 2021, as a starting point,”
Arena said in a Zoom call Friday. “That has no
relationship to what faces us in 2022. It’s a
new season. I think we have to find our identi-
ty all over again.
“It’ll be challenging. I think we’re no longer
a secret. I think teams know that we have a
good team and they’ll be prepared for us.
“We have some new players. It’s going to
take time. We’ve built a team that hopefully

SEATTLE — Whatever’s bugging
Jake DeBrusk, he still won’t say. In

Limited gains for MLB; Manfred joins in
By Michael Silverman
GLOBE STAFF
JUPITER, Fla. — Day five of MLB
labor talks in Florida brought more
action, more talk — even commis-
sioner Rob Manfred joined in — and
even a little bit of hope that at least
one issue could be resolved before
Monday’s deadline.
In otherwise moribund talks, that
counts as a big day. But a bigger
problem remains: Significant differ-
ences on several core economic is-
sues. If they are to be resolved by
Monday’s owner-set deadline to pre-
serve the full regular-season sched-
ule, it’s going to require a great deal
more progress.
Because of the rapidly flipping
calendar, MLB pushed back the start
of spring training games another
three days, now to no earlier than
Tuesday, March 8. No deal on Mon-
day will mean a much deeper cut to
the schedule, but the league is hold-
ing off just in case the sides reach a
settlement.
Besides the progress made on the
issue of draft order, the most signifi-
cant twist to the day was the sight of
Manfred striding into the Cardinals’
clubhouse where talks are happen-
ing. He did not address players, but
rather requested and received a pri-
vate meeting with MLBPA executive
director Tony Clark.
Manfred’s request came as a sur-
prise to the players. An MLB spokes-
person said the intent was to focus
on how to move the negotiations pro-
cess forward. The conversation, the
spokesperson added, was a positive
one.
Friday’s meetings occurred the
day after the union made two coun-
terproposals, one on service time ma-
nipulation, the other on draft order.
MLB addressed the latter Friday, pre-
senting what it feels is the most ag-
gressive lottery in the four major
North American sports.
The changes proposed (and that
led to the fruitful talks) had to do
with making more aggressive eligibil-
ity requirements for the teams vying
for the four top spots in the lottery.
The players still want the top seven
picks included, but the sides appear
to be close enough that an agreement
could come as soon as Saturday.
While any form of mutually
agreed upon progress counts as a
breakthrough in these talks, there is
no escaping how much remains. The
competitive balance tax, revenue
sharing, expanded salary arbitration
eligibility, and minimum salaries are
among the biggest.
If Manfred’s mission with Clark
succeeded, and Friday signaled a
start to an avalanche of momentum,
concession, and kumbaya that
sweeps each side off its feet, then
there is a sliver of hope for a new col-
lective bargaining agreement that
ends the Dec. 2, owner-imposed lock-
out and the sport’s first work stop-
page in 26 years.
Some may look at that slender
MLB, Page C2
a good chance the next one will begin some-
where else. But even for him, this year has been
excessive.
Kornet has played for five different teams
over the last four months, with the Celtics’ G
League affiliate in Maine serving as his home
base between bigger stops. When the NBA cre-
ated 10-day hardship exceptions as it was being
battered by COVID-19 cases in December, it
created opportunities for players such as Kor-
net. But it also created some mayhem.
“This year has definitely been the most cha-
otic,” said Kornet, who recently signed with the
Celtics for the remainder of this season. “I don’t
know if many guys have ever been through this
kind of situation. But you learn what you’re able
to control and what you can’t.”
Kornet, 26, finished last season with Boston,
and after being passed over in free agency last
summer, agreed to a deal as a Celtics affiliate
player in Maine. That would allow him to sign
with any NBA team at any time while also hav-
ing access to some of the Celtics’ resources. In

Major league players and their union representatives met in a parking lot before attending meetings with owners at Roger Dean Stadium.
MLB beat: Long stares, lawn chairs
By Michael Silverman
GLOBE STAFF
JUPITER, Fla. — Major League Baseball play-
ers and owners had to meet somewhere this week
in order to rediscover that they are nowhere near
an end to their labor dispute. That they chose
Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium as the site to ham-
mer away futilely at the future of baseball de-
serves its own brief, quirky chapter.
Since last Monday, and through at least this
coming Monday, the sides have been meeting in a
conference room in the two-story, stucco-exterior,
green-metal roofed, Cardinals clubhouse.
The sides come and go from opposite ends of
the 70-yard-long structure lined with palm trees,
with the media and a few baseball-starved fans
there to keep an eye on those entrances and exits.
Beginning each day bright and not early, the me-
dia start to take attendance of who’s arriving on
the players’ side around 20 minutes before the 1
p.m. start of the meetings.
Identities get confirmed (“that’s Lance McCull-
ers, with the ponytail”) and, with SmartPhone
cameras placed in between the black-bar fence,
blurry and hardly riveting photos are taken of a
union lawyer sipping coffee or Max Scherzer step-
ping out of his sports car, followed by the conga
line of negotiators and players slowly walking into
the back entrance.
Once the players are out of sight, the media
members decamp from their sidewalk spot and
walk, unassisted, more than 150 yards to the oth-
er side of the clubhouse, which sits just beyond
the right-field foul pole and outfield fence.
There’s a gate used for food, delivery and gar-
bage trucks, and, this week, for the owners’ and
negotiators’ vehicles to come in and park. From
the clubhouse, they walk across a concrete mini-
plaza, into the stadium bowl, and then up to a
conference room in one of the stadium suites,
where they caucus until the next meeting or it’s
time to leave for the day.
Their comings and goings are noted by those
staked outside the delivery gate slathered in SPF-
45, some finding respite from the grueling assign-
ment by sitting in the cheapest — Accounting
Dept., please take note — lawn chairs available.
The remainder of the afternoon is spent on call,
waiting for the equivalent of white puffs of smoke,
or maybe raised voices, to emerge.
Berger (another 65) is in the driver’s seat at Honda Classic
Daniel Berger — playing what amounts to a
home tournament for him, with his residence a 15-
minute drive away in Jupiter, Fla. — had a three-
shot lead through two rounds of the Honda Clas-
sic, after a second consecutive round of 5-under-
par 65 Friday at Palm Beach Gardens. First-round
leader Kurt Kitayama eagled the par-5 18th as
darkness was closing in, finishing a round of 69
and ending the day tied for second at 7 under with
Chris Kirk (68). Mark Hubbard (64) was another
shot back at 6 under, as was Adam Svensson —
who hit all 18 greens on his way to a 65 and fin-
ished with a par at 6:41 p.m., 22 minutes after sun-
down. Berger’s 10-under 130 tied for the third-low-
est score through 36 holes since the Honda moved
to PGA National in 2007. Berger had a five-birdie,
zero-bogey opening round on Thursday and was
nearly as flawless on Friday, with six birdies and a
bogey.
Ace propels Jimenez
Miguel Angel Jimenez felt the breeze at his
back and pulled a 6-iron, believing it would be the

Sluman for the first-round lead at the Cologuard
Classic in Tucson. Jimenez won the PGA Tour

None have yet.
The meetings have been lasting 3-4 hours, the
writers’ downtime filled up by Sporcle quizzes
and trivia, and mostly friendly conversations with
passersby. (Some oblivious to baseball, others
not.)
A frequent recommendation from the latter
group is that if they were in charge, they’d lock
those sides in the conference room and not let
them out until they had a deal. More than once,
someone has driven by and yelled, “Save base-
ball!”
Late in the afternoon, the lockout dogs of Jupi-
ter get their walks, and some are more than hap-
py to stop and let a reporter pet their pooch —
thanks to the owner of Casey, the goldendoodle.
When the meetings break up, the reporters
hear the respective perspectives from someone on
each side, then head into a room across University
Street to write.

Leaguers live and train in the state, and didn’t
want to lose a week’s worth of training for the the-
oretical season by flying up to wintry New York
City for talks.
Hotel conference rooms are standard-issue
sites for baseball labor negotiations, but with a
PGA Tour event taking place nearby, they weren’t
available. The sides settled on the stadium, the
spring training home to the Cardinals and Miami
Marlins.
The environs surrounding these talks serve up
their own angles. Situated 4 miles from the Atlan-
tic Ocean, near the northern edge of the billion-
aire-laden Palm Beach County, Roger Dean was
built in 1998, the centerpiece of an affluent mas-
ter-planned Jupiter community called Abacoa,
named after a Native American Seminole village.
The stadium sits about 140 miles due east of
the Red Sox’ spring training home in Fort Myers.
The nearly three-hour bus ride to play the Marlins
or Cardinals annually is usually a booby prize for
veterans, except for those who parlay it into an
overnight in their East Coast Florida home.
It’s mostly the young players and scrubs who
make the trek, and there’s been more than one op-
position protest that the Red Sox did not bring a
representative team to be seen in a stadium usual-
ly overrun with Red Sox fans.
Bill Parcells, who lives nearby, is a frequent at-
tendee, and Bill Belichick has been spotted at a
Red Sox game at least once. On March 6, 2007,
the stadium became a must-stop when Japanese
pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka made his first appear-
ance for the Red Sox against major leaguers. Even
if Matsuzaka did not throw a gyroball, his three
scoreless, slowly-paced innings meant a positive
debut for the team’s $103 million offseason in-
vestment.
There are, of course, no spring training games
being played in the stadium this month and likely
for a good portion of next month as well. The
union and owners are trying to prevent that from
happening, but failure looks inevitable.
That means Roger Dean may not have its
Camp David Accords moment — a fate few could
have foreseen in any circumstance.

Last year, the Revolution did not play their 15th
game until late July.
Arena, who signed a contract extension this
month, is clearly shooting for the top. He won his
last championship with the US, capturing the
2017 Gold Cup, and he has not won the MLS Cup
since 2014 with the Los Angeles Galaxy, a league-
record fifth title.
But first, the Revolution must confront the
season-opener jinx. They have not won an opener
since 2013, and in their 26 seasons, they have a 5-
14-7 mark in the first match.
Playing away from home has been an obstacle
— the Revolution have made their season debut
at home only once — and even Arena has been
unable to break through.
In 2020, the Revolution lost, 2-1, to Montreal,
with Arena saying about the artificial turf at
Olympic Stadium “that surface shouldn’t be al-
lowed, honestly.” Last year, in a 2-2 tie at Chicago,
the Revolution imploded early and nearly fell be-
hind by three goals in 12 minutes, before Arena
adjusted the formation.
The Revolution then went on a season-long
hot streak, leading the league in scoring (1.88
goals per game), before being eliminated by New
York City FC on penalty kicks in the Eastern Con-
ference semifinals.
Continuity should work in the Revolution’s fa-
vor, as only one starter departed after last season
— right winger Tajon Buchanan to Belgium’s Club
Brugge on a $7 million transfer. Lletget is set to
take Buchanan’s place in the lineup, though he
will likely play on the left side. Gonzalez, a three-
time MLS Best XI selection, has replaced Henry
Kessler in central defense, pairing with Andrew
Farrell in the preseason.
The other starters include four Best XI selec-
tions from last year (Gustavo Bou, Adam Buksa,
MVP Carles Gil, Matt Turner), outside backs
Brandon Bye and DeJuan Jones, and holding
midfielders Tommy McNamara and Matt Polster.
Altidore, acquired as a free agent from Toron-
to, is set to come off the bench in a role similar to
Teal Bunbury, who was sent to Nashville.
“Our goal is to continue improving, try to be a
better team,” Gil said. “We had an amazing sea-
son last year with the Supporters’ Shield. Of
course, we want to try to win it again. I think it’s a
very important trophy because it shows who’s the
best team for the whole year.
“So, hopefully we win again and try to win
MLS Cup. I think it’s better to try to think game
by game, be focused on Saturday, have a good
start like last season, and we’ll see what hap-
pens.”
Arena has been keeping things quiet leading
up to the opener, playing two closed-door match-
es — victories over Hartford Athletic (2-0) and the
El Paso Locomotive (4-1) at Gillette Stadium —
and refusing comment on a possible foot injury
sustained by Turner.
“I’m not interested in talking about any inju-
ries with the players,” Arena said Friday. “We’ll
have a lineup set later today for tomorrow. We’ll
leave it at that.”
The Revolution have an 0-2-3 record in visits
to Portland since 2011, but took a 3-1 preseason
win over the Timbers at Providence Park in 2020.
“They have one of the great home-field envi-
ronments in the league,” Arena said. “It’s an ur-
ban stadium, so it’s sitting right in the middle of
the city. It’s an exciting venue for the fans.
“It’s certainly challenging for the opposing
team, but there’s some similarities. We were here
two years ago preseason, so we know the facility.
“We’re playing on the same surface we have in
Gillette, so we’re not as handicapped as one
might think. I think we’ll be able to adjust to cir-
cumstances and hopefully play a good game.”
Star weekend, including following the game on
Sunday night . . . Derrick Rose had another proce-
dure on his right ankle, just as it appeared he was
close to returning to the New York Knicks. Knicks
coach Tom Thibodeau said Rose wasn’t in pain but
was feeling discomfort. The 33-year-old point
guard had recently begun practicing fully after he
had surgery on the ankle in December.

PHILADELPHIA — Alex
Ovechkin, the Russian star of the
Washington Capitals, delivered
an antiwar message Friday amid

— 27
The 36-year-old, who has pre-
viously voiced support for Rus-
sian President Vladimir Putin,
said he hopes the war will be
over soon and there will be
"peace in the whole world."
“Please, no more war,” Ovech-

Washington’s practice in Phila-
delphia on Friday. “It doesn’t
matter who is in the war — Rus-
sia, Ukraine, different countries,
I think we live in a world, like,
we have to live in peace and a
great world.”
When asked if he still sup-

Ovechkin, said "he is my presi-

Letting Jackson walk for nothing, however, is a

worst-case scenario for the Patriots. The franchise tag
would allow them to keep multiple options on the ta-
ble.
Under Belichick, the Patriots have used the fran-
chise tag 10 times on nine players: Kicker Adam Vinat-
ieri in 2002 and 2005, safety Tebucky Jones in 2003,
cornerback Asante Samuel in 2007, quarterback Matt
Cassel in 2009, defensive tackle Vince Wilfork in 2010,
guard Logan Mankins in 2011, wide receiver Wes Welk-
er in 2012, kicker Stephen Gostkowski in 2015, and
guard Joe Thuney in 2020.
Four of those players (Vinatieri in 2005, Samuel,
Welker, and Thuney) played on the one-year tag before
leaving in free agency the following season. Four
(Vinatieri in 2002, Wilfork, Mankins, and Gostkowski)
signed multiyear extensions. Two (Jones and Cassel)
were traded.
In the two most recent instances, the Patriots tagged
Gostkowski and Thuney on the last possible day, which
would be March 8 in Jackson’s case.
The Patriots currently don’t have enough salary-cap
space for Jackson to even sign the franchise tag, so they
would have to create room for him to do so. According
to Over the Cap, the Patriots have $8.3 million avail-
able.
If Jackson does end up signing the franchise tag, it
won’t be the first time he’ll be playing on a “prove it”
deal. Last offseason, the Patriots could have negotiated
an extension with Jackson, then a restricted free agent,
but instead tendered him at the second-round level for
a one-year, $3.4 million deal. Then, during the season,
the Patriots offered him an extension but the parties
did not agree to terms.
With his contract situation remaining a talking
point for almost two years now, Jackson has seemingly
said all the right things.
“I love playing for the New England Patriots, playing
under Coach Belichick,” he said in November. “It’s a
place that gave me a chance from Day 1. I would love to
be a New England Patriot for a long time.”

WOMEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK
McCormick opted
for one final season
By Greg Levinsky
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT
Paige McCormick paced
back and forth in her Heuvel-
ton, N.Y., childhood bedroom
not quite sure what to do.
To play or not to play, that
was her ultimate question.
“I really wasn’t ready to give
up basketball,” said McCormick,
a graduate student on the Mer-
rimack College women’s basket-
ball team, “but at the same time
since September [2020] I had
been looking for graduate assis-
tant positions and jobs that
have to do with basketball since
I want to get into coaching.”
McCormick, who started
playing basketball in second
grade, ultimately put her coach-
ing career on hold to play one
last season. A 5-foot-11-inch
forward, McCormick played
three seasons at UMass before
transferring to Division 2 Rob-
erts Wesleyan last season. With
the NCAA granting athletes an
extra year of eligibility because
of the pandemic, McCormick
had options.
Merrimack coach Kelly Mor-
rone initially became aware of
McCormick as an aspiring
coach after receiving an e-mail
containing McCormick’s appli-
cation for a graduate assistant
role from a Merrimack adminis-
trator. It appeared to be a good
fit so Morrone called McCor-
mick to offer her the graduate
assistant job with one week to
decide. Still in limbo, McCor-
mick entered the transfer por-
tal.
After verbally committing to
another school, McCormick
called Morrone and declined
the graduate assistant position,
McCormick telling Morrone she
still wanted to play.
“Well, I want you to come
play for me,” Morrone respond-
ed. A scholarship had just
opened up. McCormick had to
tell the other program she had a
different offer she couldn’t pass
up. It all happened within a
span of 20 minutes
McCormick said she felt “ter-
rible” about changing her com-
mitment but Merrimack
checked all the boxes.
“I didn’t want somebody to
count on me and not have me,
but I knew at that moment I
needed to do what was best for
me,” McCormick said. “I was all
stressed, but I’m really glad it
worked out.”
In terms of a coaching ca-
reer, Morrone sees many quali-
ties in McCormick that should
translate. Her ability to pick up

“I think she is very good at
seeing the big picture of things,
the whole and how the system

that innate ability is going to

McCormick, averaging 6
points and five rebounds is rel-

MIAA BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT
Pairings: Great unknown
Power ratings and no
sectionals; statewide
tournament is all new
By Nate Weitzer
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT
On the eve of the first statewide basket-
ball tournament in Massachusetts, teams
are eagerly awaiting their draw.
Programs are faced with many more
unknowns than they were under the old
format under, which used sectional brack-
ets seeded according to teams’ records, and
many of the early matchups could be pro-
jected.
Now coaches might be wondering how
many rounds can we host? Do we have a
bye? What kind of travel is required for our
early games? Or, are we going to make the
tournament at all?
The majority of those questions will be
answered Saturday when the MIAA releas-
es the boys’ and girls’ basketball pairings
for all five statewide brackets.
St. Mary’s athletic director Jeff Newhall
was the director of the first statewide soc-
cer tournament this past fall, and he
shared his insight.
“We entered that tournament with a lot
of those same questions. The newness of
[statewide], with the power ratings and no
sectionals, it had more of an NCAA Tour-
nament feel to it, in the sense that you
could be playing your rival, or someone
200 miles away,” he said.
This winter, basketball teams will be
seeded according to the new power ratings
formula, which combines margin of victo-
ry and strength of schedule. At least 32
teams qualify per division, with prelimi-
nary round games projected to start Tues-
day.
While the higher seed can host games
until the state semifinals, the venue must
be able to seat 250 spectators in the first
two rounds, 500 spectators in the round of
16, and 1,000 spectators in the state quar-
terfinals, or find a nearby site that can ac-
commodate more fans.
“If the trend from the fall continues into
HIGH SCHOOL SWIMMING
Furse driven by competitive spirit
By Emma Healy
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT
Shea Furse was going to do anything it
took to score points.
“You would think she was at the Olym-
pics,” Manchester Essex coach Caitlin Era-
mo said.
But Furse wasn’t at the Olympics, even
if she was competing like she was. She was
playing a game of sharks and minnows
during a winter break practice at the Bev-
erly YMCA.
Furse’s competitive edge propelled her
to two sectional titles — one in the 200-
yard freestyle (1:50.15) and the other in
the 500 free (4:55.79) — at the North sec-
tional championships Feb. 12 at Milford
High, both of which shattered meet re-
cords.
The Manchester Essex senior, who will
swim at the University of Georgia next sea-
son, has built her swimming career around
creating competition out of every situation.
“I really enjoy swimming with people
that are my speed or that are faster,” Furse
said. “It makes me more motivated because
I want to be where they are.”
But when the COVID-19 pandemic
prompted the closure of pools across the
state and threatened her ability to com-
pete, Furse got creative.
Her mother, Donna, a former Ironman
athlete, perused Ironman Facebook groups
until she determined that the water of the
Atlantic Ocean behind their Manchester
home was warm enough for Furse to swim
in. Donning a wetsuit, boots, and polar
gloves, Furse swam laps for a half-hour at a
time through the early months of the pan-
demic.
“I worked out every day,” Furse said. “I
swam as much as I could under the cir-
cumstances.”
When the weather warmed up, Furse
relocated to her 12-yard backyard pool —
half the length of a traditional competition
pool. She fashioned pool noodles into lane
lines and caution tape into backstroke
flags.
Even when the YMCA reopened in the
fall, she couldn’t get in the necessary hours
so, since she was taking classes remotely,
she moved to Florida to practice and com-
pete with the Sarasota Sharks.
Furse went to extreme lengths in pur-
suit of a goal she had set early in her swim
career: to swim at a top Division 1 college
program. But when the pandemic shut
down her traditional training schedule, she
didn’t yet have the times needed to gener-
ate interest from those programs.
“They were always emailing me back
saying ‘Oh, you’re not fast enough. E-mail
us back when you hit these specific times,’”
Furse said. “It was motivating. I was like,
OK, my goal is to go to these schools and
show them that I am fast enough.”
While training with the Sarasota
Sharks, Furse hit those times and commit-
ted to Georgia during her junior year. She
the winter, I think you’re going to see
packed-out gyms,” said Hingham athletic
director Jim Quatromoni, the statewide
basketball tournament director.
“We’ve put correspondence out, telling
athletic directors they should be looking
for alternative venues and at the same
time, we’ve compiled a list of facilities
throughout the state that could be used if
schools get into trouble.”
Quatromoni added that the minimum
seating requirements are more of a guide
than a hard line.
“We can make exceptions where com-
mon sense can prevail,” he said, recogniz-
ing that smaller schools or programs that
have to travel across the state might not
necessarily draw large crowds.
Most athletic directors are looking
ahead at potential scenarios.
Burlington AD Shaun Hart, a member
of the MIAA’s Tournament Management
Committee, said the Middlesex League has
long been accustomed to helping neigh-
boring schools by offering larger venues as
an alternative site, and pointed out that
Woburn High just hosted more than 2,000
fans for the Comcast Classic over Presi-
dents’ Day Weekend.
Boston City League schools that ad-
vance to the round of 16 or beyond will
host games at Madison Park, BPS assistant
athletic director Billy Sittig confirmed. Ne-
whall said he’s been in contact with multi-
ple schools in the Lynn area to ensure that
either his boys’ or girls’ basketball teams
would have a larger venue lined up for a
potential state quarterfinal.
With the opportunity to host multiple
tournament games, seeding has become
more important than ever.
For Dracut boys’ basketball coach Brian
Myers, the new system has hurt his Divi-
sion 2 program because the Middies play
in the ultra-tough Merrimack Valley Con-
ference, which is composed mostly of Divi-
sion 1 powers. Dracut played a difficult
non-league schedule, but is sitting near the
bottom of the D2 bracket with a 12-9 re-
cord and an average margin of victory of
0.19 points per game.
“Reflecting back, I scheduled tough and
it didn’t seem to pay off,” said Myers. “For

didn’t swim for Manchester Essex in the
2020-21 season, instead sticking with
Phoenix Swim Club when she returned to
Massachusetts. But in her senior year, she
has led a small-but-mighty Hornets squad
of just 16 swimmers.
“She just does an incredible job of en-
couraging them, whether it’s a hard set in
practice or whether it’s an event that they
haven’t competed before, and she always
goes out of her way to help others set
goals,” Eramo said.
One beneficiary of Furse’s leadership is
her longtime friend Ava Magnuson, who
took a seven-year hiatus from swimming
before transferring to Manchester Essex
this year as a junior. She and Furse rekin-
dled a childhood friendship, and Eramo
said that Furse’s influence has helped Mag-
nuson drop four seconds off her 50 free-
style time.
“She has made it so much more fun,
and she really got me back into the sport,”
Magnuson said.
Magnuson and Furse earned spots on
the Hornets’ state-bound 200 medley and
200 freestyle relays, and will compete in
Saturday’s Division 2 championships at
Boston University.
“It’s going be great because there’s going
be some good competition,” Furse said.
The Division 1 girls’ and boys’ champi-
onships are scheduled for BU on Saturday
and Sunday, respectively, with 1:30 start
times. Per the college’s guidelines, no spec-
tators are allowed.
Diving In
R Three generations of Foleys will take
the pool deck at Sunday’s Division 2 boys’
state meet at BU. Former Weston head
coach Pete Foley will serve as the meet di-
rector. His son, Mike Foley, is the head
coach at Wayland, and his grandson, Brady
Foley, qualified to compete in the 100
backstroke.
“I can’t even put it into words,” Pete Fol-

us, in the MVC, it was tough to get double-
digit wins, or to keep games close. We
would’ve been better letting our league
schedule play out, and getting five non-
league games that we knew we could win
by double digits.”
Myers isn’t alone among coaches criti-
cizing margin of victory as a key compo-
nent in the ratings. But even though his
team might be seeded as low as 30th in the
D2 bracket, the fourth-year coach believes
his players have been sharpened by their
tough schedule.
“We played seven non-league games,
and every one was on the road,” said My-
ers. “For my group in particular, it’s senior-
laden, and we’re prepared for any environ-
ment. We almost play better with our
backs against the wall. We embrace the
challenge and we really feel we’re just as
good as any Division 2 team.”
Tri-Valley Large champion Norwood
(17-2) is likely to secure a top seed in the
D2 bracket because the Mustangs have a
greater average margin of victory than the
Middies (12-9), even though their strength
of schedule is lower.
Norwood third-year coach Kristen Mc-
Donnell, who led the Braintree girls’ bas-
ketball program to four Division 1 state ti-
tles over 10 years and a 211-32 record, said
she was skeptical of the power ratings
when they were introduced.
McDonnell said that as the season pro-
gressed, she was encouraged by how the
ratings seemed to adjust over a larger sam-
ple.The statewide tournament provides
one key differentiation.
“I bet at the end, we’ll most likely see
the best two teams in the state champion-
ship,” said McDonnell.
“When I was at Braintree, we played
Bishop Feehan so many times in the South
Sectional, and one time in the second
round, when in my mind those were the
best two teams in the state. So at least that
won’t happen.”
After the season, there will be time for
MIAA officials and committee members to
consider altering aspects to the new for-
mat, with input from coaches.
In the meantime, teams are simply
thrilled to be dancing again.

ey said. “It’s so special. I remember when I
retired in 2007, they had the pool dedica-
tion at Weston, and Mike brought Brady in
his arms. I think he was like two months
old. … This kind of caps it all.”
Since 2007, Pete Foley has stayed in-
vested in EMass swimming, working close-
ly with the state meet as well as officiating
collegiate meets in the area. After one year
without a traditional state meet — last
year’s was moved to a virtual format — Fol-
ey said he’s most excited for the swimmers
to get back to regular competition.
“I think sometimes you don’t appreciate
what you have until you don’t have it,” he
said. “So with last year being completely
barren of any head-to-head competition,
not only in the dual meets, but obviously at
the end of the season meets, I think the
kids are really happy to be back at it.”
R Dover-Sherborn senior Ava Yablonski,
who has committed to the University of
Minnesota, was the sole double individual
event winner at the girls’ South sectional,
taking the top prize in the 50 freestyle
(24.39) and 100 free (51.95). On the boys’
side, though Bishop Feehan took the top
prize, no swimmer won more than one in-
dividual event. Feehan’s Nathan Coleman
won the 100 backstroke (52.74), and Ryan
Shute was first in the 200 freestyle
(1:45.99) for the Shamrocks.
R The Eastern Interscholastic Swim-
ming & Diving championships began
Thursday. Hosted by Germantown Acade-
my, Mercersburg Academy, and Peddie
School at Franklin and Marshall College,
the meet features teams from across the
country, including Phillips Andover. An-
dover junior Christopher Xia holds the top
seed time in the 100 yard breaststroke. He
set a New England record in the 100 meter
version of the event on Feb. 12 with a time
of 1:03.67.

Wrestlers of the week

GLOBE CORRESPONDENT
Thomas Brown is in rare
company.
A week ago, at the Division
1 state championships in Fitch-
burg, the 6-foot-4-inch, 250-
pound Brown became the sec-
ond freshman to win a heavy-
weight title with his 7-2
decision over Catholic Memori-
al’s Kyle King.
At 9:30 the next morning,
Brown was back in the training
room, putting in work to pre-
pare for this weekend’s All-
State Championship, back at
GameOn in Fitchburg, where
he is seeded second, with a po-
tential rematch against the
lone opponent to deal him a
loss this season.
These bright lights are not

man, but the All-State stage is.
When Brown takes the mat for
his first-round match Saturday
morning, he will be bringing
multiple tournament titles and
a nearly-perfect record along
with him.
It does not matter where he
is wrestling, or who Brown is
matched up against. He has his
winning formula, and he sticks
to it. When it’s time for him to
compete, Brown removes him-
self from the chaos of the
championship tournaments,
finding space to put on his
headphones, remove all dis-
tractions, and lock in.
That mentality has resulted
in a 37-1 record, a Lowell Holi-
day title, and sectional and
state championships.
“He’s an athlete,” said
Chelmsford coach Chris Pis-
cione, noting that Brown and
Evan Kinney (106 pounds in
2018) are the only freshmen in
the program’s rich history to
Once again, he remained
consistent in his preparation
and wasted no time once he got
the opportunity to wrestle.
“It didn’t really change any-
thing,” Brown said. “I just had
to do what I normally do and
not let it ruin my day, and I had
to stay focused.”
His 28-second pin in his
second-round bout was an au-
thoritative win, but it was his
strategy that stood out to Pis-
cione.
During the second half of
the season, Piscione and
Brown were honing in on spe-
cific situations, including dou-
ble underhooks. The freshman
followed his coach’s guidance
and pulled off the underhooks
early in his first matchup. He
put his opponent on his back
and quickly secured the sub-30
second pin.
“For me, I’m pumped,” Pis-
cione said. “I’m like, hey, we’re
seeing what we’ve been drill-
kind of made me more moti-
vated to go out and win,”
Brown said. “And now the re-
match, I feel pretty confident,
but I’m looking forward to it. I
think it’ll be a good match, and
we’ll see what happens.”
Near falls
R After winning a sectional
title two years ago, Arlington’s
Denis Cha is not wasting his fi-
nal opportunity to add postsea-
son medals to his collection.
Wrestling at 195 pounds,
the senior pinned a pair of op-
ponents, and he only gave up
two points in the other two
matches to win the Division 1
state title after winning anoth-
er sectional championship the
week prior. Pairing his combi-
nation of speed and strength
with a lot of research into his
opponents before matches this
season has paid off.

“He hits 6-4, 250, but he’s
an athlete. He’s got a work eth-
ic that I have never seen. He
outworks everyone.”
His father, Bob (’81), is a
member of the school’s athletic
Hall of Fame after competing
for the Lions in football, bas-
ketball, baseball, track, and
wrestling
Brown had no idea that he
made history at the state tour-
nament until his father told
him a few days after his cham-
pionship run.
“It’s pretty exciting,” Brown
said. “But [I’m] not really wor-
ried about records right now,
just focused on the next
match.”
The elder Brown, who went
on to start on the offensive line
at the University of Pittsburgh,
now mentors his son on the
gridiron, where Thomas was
the starting center for coach
George Peterson and the Lions
last fall.
At times, Peterson said the
coaches have to reel in Brown’s
physicality — he tries to drive
opponents 15-20 yards down-
field.
“He’s a big kid, he plays
hard, he loves the physical part
of the game,” Peterson said.
“He wants to be very good, so
he’s very coachable.”
In his conversations leading
up to the state tournament, Pi-
scione told Brown to take the
tournament match by match.
Brown has never wavered from
his composed demeanor re-
gardless of the stage.
After receiving a first-round
bye in the 285-pound bracket,
Brown had some unexpected
ing. It’s finally coming together
at the right time of the year.
You know, this is a perfect situ-
ation for us. And for him.”
Brown competed as an
eighth grader after receiving a
waiver, and after wrestling al-
most 40 matches this winter, it
is not surprising that he has be-
gun to match up against famil-
iar faces during his champion-
ship run.
In the semifinals, he wres-
tled against St. John Prep’s
Charlie Smith for the fourth
time this season. Smith, the
No. 14 seed, was on a two-pin
run going into the match.
Brown said there is a little
more pressure when you’re
matched up against someone
you have already beat before,
especially someone with the
strength of Smith.
“He’s just a really strong
kid, really had to move,” Brown
said. “I’ve got a lot of respect
for him. He’s tough.”
The St. John’s Prep junior
stalled out of the match, and
Brown moved on to the finals.
Facing King in the champion-
ship, Brown knew he had to
avoid his opponent’s throws
and rely on his size advantage.
The freshman prevailed, and
history was made.
Brown now turns his atten-
tion to All-States, with a chance
to avenge his one loss of the
season. Top-seeded Dominic
Silva, from Bridgewater-Rayn-
ham, defeated Brown earlier
this year at the Woburn tourna-
ment. Brown plans to take the
tournament one bout at a time
and, if he ends up matched up
against Silva in the finals, ex-
pect one of the more exciting
rence, Cha said he asked 30
people at the tournament for
advice on the matchup. He
ended up winning in a 8-1 deci-
sion to grow his record to 33-0.
“I don’t think he really has
any weaknesses,” Arlington
coach Kevin Cummings said. “I
think he wrestles tough from
all three positions. He’s com-
fortable in all the situations.”
“He’s not the strongest guy
in the weight class, but he’s
strong enough not to be over-
powered. He moves well,
switches off from one thing to
another. He’s very fluid, and
he’s very athletic.”
Cha is the top seed in his
weight class, and with that
comes the level of expectation
that his undefeated record al-
ready carries.
“I just need to approach ev-
ery single match with super,
super focused intensity and
keep my wits about me,” Cha
said. “And I think, if I do that, I
might just win All States.”
R Following the individual
state tournament on Feb. 19,
the MIAA announced its year-
end awards. Chelmsford coach
Chris Piscione was named Di-
vision 1 Coach of the Year, PJ
Boccia took home the honor in
Division 2 following Milford’s
title run, and Tewksbury coach
Steve Kasprzak won the award
for Division 3. Nick Wormald
(Haverhill) was the Division 1
Assistant Coach of the Year,

A few weeks short of her 98th birthday,
Marjorie Ann Keary of Osterville, made
her last drawing: a still life of some
flowers sent to her by a friend. It was a
fitting conclusion to her near century
of living on this earth: to the end, she
was focused on beauty and served as a
conduit of limitless love and friend-
ship. On Wednesday, February 23,
2022, “Marjie” passed away after a brief
illness.
For the last three decades, Marjie
was a fixture on the Cape Cod Art
scene. A member of the Chatham Art
Guild and The Cahoon Museum, she
also owned the Paint Box Art Gallery in
Osterville and showed her work all over
the Northeast.
Prior to retiring to the Cape, Marjie
taught art in the Needham school
system. Many of her students kept in
touch with her long past their school
days. Similarly, the memories of her
classroom experiences provided Marjie
with endless reminiscences of laughter
and joy.
Post teaching career, Marjie was
a a resident of West Barnstable and
then Osterville. She contributed to her
communities through art, personal
relationships and progress. Her friends
were numerous, her impact unfailingly
positive. Marjie was defined by her
mantra, “Give it your all.”
A graduate of Newton High School,
Tufts University and The School of The
Museum of Fine Arts, Marjie went on
to study painting in Paris with the Cub-
ist artist, Fernand Leger. His influence
was not readily apparent in her work
but rather in her unique ability to see
the elemental goodness in all things.
Marjie grew up in Brookline and
Newton, and was the youngest child of
the James and Annie Keary. She sur-
vived all five of her siblings, John, Mary
Woodbury, James, Francis and Betty
Thompson (also of Osterville). She
was the beloved aunt of the deceased
David Woodbury and Daniel Keary;
and is survived by nieces and nephews,
Jane Keary of Wilmington, NC, Anne
Thompson of New York, Bill Thomp-
son of Palo Alto, CA, Mary and Bruce
Thompson of Boston, and Jim and
Laurie Thompson of Trumbull, CT.
In her final years, Marjie enjoyed the
extraordinary care and companionship
of Janice Nelson and Rosie Dos Santos
Silva, better friends she could not have
asked for.
A Funeral Mass will be held at Our
Lady of Assumption in Osterville on
Monday, February 28th, at 11 AM.
In lieu of flowers, donations in her
memory may be made to the School
of the Museum of Fine Arts: https://

Remembered
CROUSE, Henry Joseph
Former Vice President of Strategic
Relations at Digital Equipment
Corporation (DEC)
P
assed away on February 6th
after a long illness.
He was born in Boston
City Hospital, served two-
years in the United States
Army, and was a graduate of Boston
University.
Henry was one of the very early
employees of Digital Equipment
Corporation (Badge #26), which
became the fastest growing company
in US history. The early employees
like Henry were critical resources
in creating that great success. He
was instrumental in building DEC’s
worldwide supply base and introduced
external resources as a corporate
strategy.
He is given great credit, along
with others, for his role in DEC’s
tremendous growth in the 1970’s and
80’s employing more than 116,000
people and becoming a $14 billion
corporation.
Over the course of 40 years, from
1957 to 1998, DEC employed over
350,000 employees worldwide, and
operated in every continent.
The comments from Henry’s
former colleagues are all consistent.
“Henry always represented the values
that made Digital a great place to
work. Honesty at all times and in all
situations, concern for every employee
to ensure that all were treated fairly,
commitment to company goals before
personal goals,” said Lon Beaupre.
“Henry was indeed a valued person
as a boss, friend and one of the true
good people I’ve known. I refer to
Henry often when there is talk about
DEC. And even the way businesses are
run today,” said Bill Annesi.
“I worked with Henry for many years
and it was always a pleasure. Henry
was the consummate professional
with high ethical standards not always
resident in purchasing departments.
Aside from day to day supplier
issues needing our attention we
would occasionally travel together
to negotiate annual agreements with
Digital’s top suppliers. I remember
a trip to Texas Instruments in the
70’s. Digital was ramping up PDP11
production and we were dependent
on TI. We quickly realized that Henry
had their attention when Morris Chang
was introduced as their principal
negotiator. Morris was Group Vice
President for all of TI’s semiconductor
business and went on in the eighties
to be the billionaire founder of Taiwan
Semiconductor. Henry was able
to convince him that Digital could
become one of his largest customers,
and we got the supply assurances from
TI that we needed,” said Bob Puffer
Henry’s closest friend with whom
he shared ownership in a plane, Tom
Stockebrand, shared this. “Henry
was one of the kindest, most gentle
people I have known. He demonstrated
calmness under stress and was a good
role model for how to live life. He had
a droll sense of humor and a spirit of
adventure. When he was production
manager we would sometimes run out
of parts and be “forced” to jump in the
Cessna to fly off to a supplier and pick
them up.”
“During his time as purchasing
manager, Henry was an ardent
supporter of Digital’s minority vendor
program, and played a part in forming
the New England Minority Purchasing
Council, which provided credibility
to the organization as it pursued
its mission. Henry was known as
a fabulous dealmaker for minority
businesses. Those of us who knew him
in the minority business community
knew him as a guy you could gain
access to without difficulty. He would
connect you to the right person and
hold them accountable for providing
you a reasonable consideration of your
business proposition,” said Bill Lytle,
former president of the Waterbury Pen
Corporation.
Henry was equally supportive of
minorities in his organization. Harold
Epps shared a story about an irate
white vendor meeting with Henry
to complain about him, even using
the “N” word. Henry’s response was,
“First he is not a “N”, and if you have
a problem with him go solve it with
him.”
His support of minorities extended
to mentoring and advising young
black professionals on their careers.
“In my early career before making
an important business decision, I
always consulted with Henry for his
wise counsel and advice,” said Ron
Walker, former Secretary of Labor
and Workforce Development for
Massachusetts.
In 1988, Digital was one of five
companies that formed a computer
software consortium operating
system. The intent of the consortium
was to develop a version of the Unix
operating system to be independent
of control of AT&T. Henry was named
interim president of the Open Software
Foundation (OSF), and returned to
Digital after the OSF successfully
introduced a new open software
system and recruited his replacement.
After returning to DEC Henry was
named vice president of manufacturing
for Digital Equipment Europe,
stationed in Geneva, Switzerland.
Most of the manufacturing plants
were located in Ireland, Scotland,
and Germany. When visiting the
plants, the DEC pilot would often let
Henry take over the controls and fly
the plane, which pleased Henry to
no end. His leadership was credited
with supporting Digital’s rapid growth
during his three-year tenure. At that
time, Digital was the largest employer
in Ireland, and Henry was The Guest
of Honor at Galway, Ireland’s 500–year
Birthday Celebration.
As a Digital alumnus Henry was able
to maintain a strong connection with
many DEC Alumni across the world.
“What has been particularly amazing
is the DEC Spirit that exists to this day.
Henry, as well as others never forgot

the good old days at DEC and the
many opportunities that were provided
to them.
After working at Digital for more
than 33 years, Henry took early
retirement as vice president of strategic
relations and made a second career
as president of early stage companies,
serving on corporate boards, and as a
venture capitalist. Henry and his wife
Claudette are known for supporting
and funding community projects.
They were featured in the Boston
Common Magazine December 2017
issue in the article titled, “Giving Back
-- A Portfolio of Boston’s Passionate
Philanthropists”.
Henry’s hobby and passion was
flying. He owned several airplanes,
but his piper arrow was his favorite.
He enjoyed nothing more than
flying family and friends to Martha’s
Vineyard or taking young relatives in
his plane and letting them take over
the controls. His son Richard said his
father became reluctant to let him take
the controls because he always wanted
to dive.
His daughter Linda fondly recalls
how he taught her to drive a car, fly
a plane and pilot a boat, along with
valuable lessons about caring and
appreciating them. She noted some
of his valuable life lessons: “He was
nonjudgmental and accepted, and even
embraced, that everyone is different
and perspective is not singular.”
“Often, we hear all these wonderful
things about a person when he/she
passes. Sometimes their stories are
made to sound much better than
the life they lived. That is absolutely
not the case with Henry Crouse. You
will hear adjectives like considerate,
caring, cheerful, friendly, honest,
humble, sincere, smart, patient, and
understanding, etc. because that is
who Henry was. Henry was not just
your friend... he became everybody’s
brother.
We will miss Henry dearly but
we will never forget the wonderful
times we spent with him. “A life well
lived!!! Rest in Peace my brother!
We will continue to love and cherish
Claudette... the love of your life,” M.L.
Carr
His parents, Alfred and Florence
Crouse, and a brother, Alfred Crouse,
predeceased Henry in death. He leaves
his wife of 40 years, Claudette Crouse;
a son Richard Crouse; a daughter
Linda Crouse and her partner, Katie
Milton; a sister Florence Samuels;
a grandson, Arrik Crouse and his
partner Abigail Throckmorton; two
great-grandchildren, Aden and Ayla; a
sister-in-law Marie Crouse; and a host
of relatives and extended family.

LOS ANGELES — Sally
Kellerman, the Oscar- and Em-
my-nominated actor who played
Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan
in director Robert Altman’s 1970
film “M*A*S*H,” died Thursday.
Ms. Kellerman died of heart
failure at her home in the Wood-
land Hills section of Los Angeles,
her manager and publicist Alan
Eichler said. She was 84.
She had a career of more
than 60 years in film and televi-
sion. She played a college profes-
sor who was returning student
Rodney Dangerfield’s love inter-
est in the 1986 comedy “Back to
School.” And she was a regular in
Altman’s films, appearing in
1970’s “Brewster McCloud,”
1992’s “The Player,” and 1994’s
“Ready to Wear.”
But she would always be best
known for playing Major Houli-
han, a straitlaced, by-the-book
Army nurse who is tormented by
rowdy doctors during the Kore-
an War in the army comedy
“M*A*S*H.”
public address speakers, earning
her the nickname.
Ms. Kellerman said Altman
brought out the best in her.
“It was a very freeing, posi-
tive experience,” she told Dick
Cavett in a 1970 TV interview.
“For the first time in my life I
took chances, I didn’t suck in my
cheeks, or worry about any-
thing.”
The film was nominated for
five Academy Awards, but her
best supporting actress was its
only acting nod despite a cast
that included Duvall, Donald
Sutherland, and Elliot Gould.
The movie would be turned
into a TV series that lasted 11
seasons, with Loretta Swit in Ms.
Kellerman’s role.
Sally Clare Kellerman was
born in 1937 in Long Beach, Ca-
lif., the daughter of a piano
teacher and an oil executive,
moving to Los Angeles as a child
and attending Hollywood High
School.
Her initial interest was in jazz
singing, and she was signed to a
contract with Verve records at
sion early in her career, with a
lead role in 1962’s “Cheyenne”
and guest appearances on “The
Twilight Zone, “The Outer Lim-
its,” “ The Alfred Hitchcock
Hour,” and “Bonanza.”
Her appearance in the origi-
nal “Star Trek” pilot as Dr. Eliza-
beth Dehner won her cult status
among fans.
She would work primarily in
fi lm in the years following
“M*A*S*H,” including 1972’s
“Last of the Red Hot Lovers” and
1975’s “Rafferty and the Gold
Dust Twins,” both with Alan Ar-
kin, 1973’s “Slither” with James
Caan, 1979’s ”A Little Romance”
with L aurence Olivier, and
1980’s “Foxes” with Jodie Foster.
She would work into her 80s,
with several acclaimed television
performances in her final years.
Ms. Kellerman starred in the
comedy series “Decker” with
Tim Heidecker and played co-
median Mark Maron’s mother
on his series “Maron.”
“Sally Kellerman was radiant
and beautiful and fun and so
great to work with,” Maron said

ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — Ken Burrough,
the former Houston Oilers re-
ceiver who was the last NFL
player to wear No. 00, died
Thursday. He was 73.
Mr. Burrough’s family an-
nounced the death, saying he
died at his home in Jacksonville,
Fla.
Mr. Burrough was the 10th
overall pick in 1970 by New Or-
leans, but played just one season
for the Saints before being trad-
ed to the Oilers. He spent the
next 11 seasons in Houston,
where he was selected to the Pro
Bowl in 1975 and 1977.
Mr. Burrough led the NFL in
receiving yards in 1975 with a
career-high 1,063. He piled up
6,906 yards receiving and 47
touchdowns with the Oilers,
helping lead them during their
Luv Ya Blue period where they
twice reached the AFC champi-
onship game. The Oilers are now
the Tennessee Titans.
“Kenny provided the aerial
threat and the big plays for Bum
Phillips’ Oilers teams, leading
the league in receiving one sea-
son and earning two Pro Bowls
over his 11 seasons in Houston,”
Titans controlling owner Amy
Adams Strunk said in a state-
ment from the team. “At the
time of his retirement, he was
the franchise leader in career re-
ceiving yards and he still ranks
third currently. I will fondly re-
member his distinctive double
zero jersey racing down the field
on another long touchdown.”
Strunk added that Mr. Bur-
rough attended the most recent
reunion of former Oilers and
that she enjoyed seeing him
reminisce with his teammates.
Mr. Burrough was the last
NFL player to wear No. 00 as the
league restricted the use of Nos.
0 and 00 in 1973, but allowed
players who already had those
numbers to retain them until re-
tirement.
Mr. Burrough grew up in
Jacksonville, starring at William
M. Raines High School. He
played football and ran track at
Texas Southern, and was select-
ed to the Black College Football
Hall of Fame in 2016.

The Proctors faced an expensive oil cleanup process before their insurance company reversed itself on its earlier position of denying coverage.
In shift, insurance company now
says Wareham couple is covered
Costly cleanup over
oil tank leak at issue
Sean P. Murphy
THE FINE PRINT
In a reversal of its earlier position,
an insurance company now says it
will “extend” coverage to a young
Wareham couple under their home-
owners insurance policy for the very
expensive cleanup caused by a leaky
oil tank in the basement of their
home.
On Jan. 17, the insurer, Narragan-
sett Bay Insurance Company of Provi-
dence, had denied coverage to the
couple, Emmaline and Brian Proctor,
who had paid about $1,000 a year for
what they thought was a comprehen-
sive homeowners policy.
In its detailed, six-page denial let-
ter, NBIC had informed the Proctors
that coverage for a leak apparently
caused by corrosion in the tank was
excluded from their policy.
The Proctors thought they would
lose their house as the estimates for
cleaning up the contamination,
which include plans to jack the house
off its foundation to excavate 10 feet
below the basement floor — topped
more than $185,000. Such cleanups
are strictly enforced under state envi-
ronmental laws.
Emmaline, 30, who is pregnant,
and Brian, 24, have a 10-month-old
girl. She is a paralegal who left work
during the pandemic, and he is a full-
time National Guardsman who works
as a Blackhawk helicopter mechanic
at the military base on Cape Cod.
They said they were shocked to
learn their policy, which is 68 pages
long, did not cover an oil leak, even
though they had their home, includ-
Chipmakers: Ukraine crisis not threat to sales
By Ian King
BLOOMBERG
With the semiconductor industry
stretched thin by the pandemic and
an unprecedented surge in demand,
chipmakers had a reassuring message
this week: The crisis in Ukraine is un-
likely to make shortages worse.
Russia is a small market for the
chip industry and its invasion of
Ukraine doesn’t represent a threat to
chip supply, the Semiconductor In-
dustry Association said Thursday. US
and allied sanctions against Russia al-
so are unlikely to have a significant ef-
fect on industry sales, the group said.
“While the impact of the new rules
to Russia could be significant, Russia
is not a significant direct consumer of
semiconductors, accounting for less
than 0.1% of global chip purchases,”
SIA Chief Executive Officer John
Neuffer said in a statement. “In addi-

quickly behind us so we can get on with the
rest of our lives.’
BRIAN PROCTOR, with his wife and daughter at their home
ing the tank, inspected before buying
the Cape-style house for $275,000 in
2020.
A report written by the Proctor’s
home inspector noted that corrosion
in oil tanks often begins on the inside
and is not detectable from the out-
side. They said their insurance agent
never discussed with them the option
of buying special coverage for a possi-
ble oil leak. NBIC did not respond to
a Globe email seeking comment.
NBIC reversed its earlier position
on Thursday, saying in an e-mail to
the Proctors’ lawyer that it will “im-
mediately extend” coverage. NBIC al-
so said it was reserving its right to
make new evaluations as facts sur-
rounding the leak “continue to devel-
op.”

tor. “We’re hoping to get this quickly

Ukraine’s status as a major produc-
er of neon has sparked concerns be-
cause the gas is used in semiconduc-
tor manufacturing. But chip compa-
nies, which were aler ted to this
possible chokepoint in 2014 when
Russia annexed Crimea, have diversi-
fied their suppliers since then.

The Proctors were featured in a
page-one Globe column on Monday
that highlighted how the vast majori-
ty of the estimated 650,000 home-
owners who heat with oil in Massa-
chusetts do not have specific oil leak
coverage in their policies.
The column recounted the case of
a Hopkinton man who testified be-
fore a legislative committee last year
that he had spent more than
$500,000 cleaning up oil that leaked
from a tank in his house.
A bill that would make oil cover-
age in homeowners policies manda-
tory and automatic is pending before
the Legislature, where it is opposed
by the insurance industry.

ney, said she made her case on behalf

of the Proctors to NBIC on Wednes-
day.
“Neither the Proctors nor I ever
imagined this [NBIC’s reversal]
would be possible until yesterday, af-
ter I did a deep dive into their insur-
ance documents and spoke with
claims reps at the company,” she
wrote in an e-mail.
Still, Crane cautioned, homeown-
ers who heat with oil should obtain
specific coverage for oil leaks — a “liq-
uid fuel rider,” in insurance parlance.
It usually costs under $100 a year.
The Proctor’s case “is an unusual
outcome,” she said. “No one should
count on getting coverage without a
liquid fuel rider.”
She declined to discuss the specif-
ics of the Proctors’ case. Crane also
urged the Legislature to pass the
pending bill. “It’s critical,” she said.
A GoFundMe page set up by a
Proctor family member shortly after
the Jan. 7 leak raised almost $10,000.
After publication of the Globe col-
umn, which included a link to the
page, the fund swelled to almost
$83,000.
The Proctors on Thursday stopped
accepting donations in light of the
NBIC’s new position, even though
“we continue to pay legal fees and
still may be facing significant unin-
sured costs,” they Proctors wrote on
the GoFundMe page.
“When the cleanup is all done, if
there are any remaining funds, they
will be donated to charity. We are
overwhelmed with love and grati-
tude,” they wrote.

tions and regulations,” the company
said in a statement. “We have taken
necessary steps to comply with the re-
cent U.S. sanctions against Russia,
and we expect that this will be an im-
material impact to our business.”
GlobalFoundries Inc., the US’s
largest provider of outsourced chip-
making, said having plants around
the world — with their own local sup-
pliers — helps mitigate risk. The com-
pany has factories in upstate New
York, Singapore, and Dresden, Ger-
many.
“At GlobalFoundries, we do not an-
ticipate a direct risk,” the company
said in a statement. “We are not total-
ly immune to global shortages, but
our footprint provides us with more
insulation.”

estimates
Stock of auto-listing
site hits 3-year high
Tight market pays off
for Cambridge firm
By Aaron Pressman
GLOBE STAFF
Amid a supply crunch for new cars
and raging price inflation in used cars,
Cambridge auto-listing site CarGurus
made a big bet last year on adding di-
rect sales — and it paid off in a big way.
CarGurus reported fourth-quarter
results that far exceeded the forecasts of
Wall Street analysts, and the company’s
stock leapt 44 percent on Friday to
$46.44, the highest level in more than
three years.
The jump in CarGurus stock coincid-
ed with big moves in the prices of sever-
al other area tech companies that also
reported earnings this week.
Everbridge, a Burlington-based com-
pany that offers technology for first re-
sponders, saw its stock price drop by 34
percent on Friday as it forecast revenue
in 2022 would grow at half the rate of
2021. And shares of Iron Mountain, the
Boston-based storage and data manage-
ment company, gained 7 percent after it
forecast 2022 revenue would grow at
twice the rate of 2021.
CarGurus didn’t forecast its 2022 re-
sults but said revenue in the fourth
quarter of 2021 increased 124 percent,
to $339 million, beating the average an-
alyst forecast by almost $60 million.
And adjusted earnings per share of 43
cents beat the average forecast by 13
cents.
CarGurus had
long operated a Used car
marketplace
where consumers and truck
could look

offering to buy a
c o n s u m e r ’s u s e d c a r o n t h e s p o t
(though subject to an inspection).
Revenue from the CarOffer service
hit $179 million in the fourth quarter,
10 times higher than in the first quarter
when it was acquired, as dealers and
rental car agencies scrambled to buy
used cars from consumers amid short-
ages of new cars. As of this month, more
than 10,000 dealerships participated in
the marketplace, triple the number
from the first quarter, CarGurus said.
Used car and truck prices increased
40.5 percent over the last year, accord-
ing to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
New car prices jumped 12.2 percent.
Consumers coming to the site to sell
their cars often shift to buying mode,
boosting CarGurus’ listing service as
well, chief executive Jason Trevisan told
analysts.
“Many consumers who are selling
their car need to buy a car,” said Tre-
visan, who took over from founder Lan-
gley Steinert last year. “Many of them
become leads and digital retail candi-
dates and are then using our market-
place to shop for inventory.”
The lack of new cars, due to wide-
spread shortage of semiconductors, has
also bolstered CarGurus’ business by
helping consumers buy cars at dealers
that are far from where they live. The
site is pilot-testing a feature to arrange
shipping cars to distant buyers.
“Dealers participating in our deliv-
ery pilot are shipping vehicles, on aver-
age, 1,500 miles away, highlighting both
the need for delivery programs and the
potential for geographic arbitrage,” Tre-
visan said. “This has enabled dealers to
further tap into markets beyond city
and state lines.”

TV CRITIC’S CORNER LOVE LETTERS

BY MATTHEW GILBERT BY MEREDITH GOLDSTEIN

‘Law & Order’ puts up solid
ratings in return Thursday night
Looks like the return of “Law & Order: The Mothership” is going
to help NBC. The show, with returnees Sam Waterston and Anthony
Anderson and newcomers Jeffrey Donovan, Camryn Manheim,
Hugh Dancy, and Odelya Halevi, drew 5.5 million viewers for the
premiere of its 21st season on Thursday night.
These days, that’s a solid number for network TV, and it was the
third highest number of the night, after CBS comedies “Young Shel-
don” (6.7) and “Ghosts” (5.6). “Law & Order” was canceled in 2010,
when it was drawing an average of 8.2 million a week, which was way
down from the show’s peak of some 19.4 million viewers a week in
1999. Times have changed, thanks to streaming and cable.
Will the revival continue to bring in viewers? Or will it be can-
celed again? Let’s see how the season plays out.
Is it time to settle?
Meredith wants to answer your question. Write to lovelet-
ters@globe.com.
Q. I feel that love is a concept that unless a person goes through it, it
won’t make sense to them, no matter how many books or stories
they’ve read. I’m that person. Ever since I was young, I devoured
books and movies about love — “Ella Enchanted,” “Gone with the
Wind” (which now I see as really problematic), all the Disney mov-
ies. ... Heck, I was singing the song Aurora sings in the forest before
she meets Prince Phillip for the longest time, expecting the same re-
sult … longer than I’d like to admit.
When I entered high school, I thought maybe this is it. I’ll find
my Harvey (“Sabrina” reference) and it’ll be my soulmate. High
school went and gone, and it was college, and I thought THIS is my
chance. ... I’ll be like Rory and find my Logan (although she really
belongs with Jess). I commuted to school, so I was off campus by 5
p.m. and never had the chance to really meet new people, while los-
ing my old friends. And now I’m in my mid-30s, scraping the bot-
tom of the pool on a dating app; most of the guys I start chatting
with don’t respond or later get flagged by the app.
My grandma introduces me to random people — like her neigh-
bor’s aunt’s nephew’s friend in California. But I never felt that spark
after meeting them. I’m supposed to feel a spark when I meet “The
One,” right? Over time most of these guys just fade away. We don’t
have anything to talk about, and the conversations just die. I’m still
chatting with this one guy, though. He’s OK. Decent looking, but
not exactly my type, but a decent human. If you made it this far ...
thank you.
Here’s my question: When do you make a decision to settle?
Many people take chances on arranged marriages, and while this
relationship may have started as a blind date, it could work out,
right? Am I selling myself short though, if I choose to go with the
guy whom I feel is mediocre? Am I a bad person to choose him be-
cause I just want someone and can’t seem to find anyone else? It
could work out.
My friend keeps telling me to wait, and how I shouldn’t settle.
But I would lie to say I’m not looking at my age like a countdown.
Seeing my other friends and their beautiful children, I think I want
kids. I want my own family. But if I choose to settle and try to make
this relationship work, am I selling myself short? Or worse, is this
wrong to him?
ROMANTIC
A. Don’t settle. You’ll wind up miserable and then you’ll have to un-
do the whole thing. Divorce is expensive.
You need help figuring out what a real relationship looks like —
and maybe you need a new slate of movies and books (and talks
with friends) to figure it out. First, there is no one. There are, lucki-
ly, many people out there who are potential partners. It’s about
finding them and having the right lens to see all they offer. It proba-
bly won’t feel like lightning. Get used to the concept of a slow burn.
The thing about most of the movies you mentioned is that
they’re two hours of “How will these single people get together?” ...
and then it ends. We have no idea what their fictional marriages
would look like.
It’s not helpful to go into every date thinking, “I’m so tired of
this. Is this going to be the one?” It messes with the vibes, and prob-
ably makes you seem dissatisfied right off the bat. That’s a lot for
the other person to live up to. Get to a place where you can say,
“Whatever, I’m just getting to know another human.” Then really
listen and be present. You might notice more.
It’s not easy for me to tell a woman in her mid-30s, one who
wants kids, to take her time. But you need to settle your brain be-
fore any of these people — the good people — will become contend-
ers. Limit your time on apps so you don’t see too many faces. Ask
good questions. Have Zoom dates because you might be more re-
laxed if you’re already at home, not feeling rushed to make some-
thing worth it. Ask your friends how they really fell in love. The sto-
ries might be different than you think.
It sounds like you should also drop this guy. You’ve given him a
chance, and you want something else.
MEREDITH
READERS RESPOND:
I didn’t feel an immediate spark when I met my husband. I al-
most didn’t go on the date because I thought it was a waste of time.
On the other hand, there were guys I felt an immediate spark with
that I could never be married to. Belle didn’t feel immediate sparks
for the Beast. That would’ve been weird, man.
YOURNOSYNEIGHBOR
I’m old enough to have seen Princess Diana’s wedding on TV.
The to-do over it was HUGE. Beautiful princess marrying her
prince and would supposedly live happily ever after. We all know
how that turned out.
DANGLEPARTCIPLE
You NEVER make the decision to settle, ever. I don’t know what
half the references you mentioned even mean, but it’s clear you
watch too much TV. And news flash: Hollywood /Disney isn’t real
life. Love doesn’t have to be grossly romantic or magical. I think
you’ve got unrealistic expectations. Love can be simple — two peo-
ple who make each other happy; they laugh a lot and have the same
dreams/goals. Stop looking for a fairy tale.
BOSTONSWEETS21
^“Hollywood/Disney isn’t real life.” I beg to differ. Whenever I
walk the streets, I have squirrels and deer walking behind, lifting
my cape off the dirty ground. I have little birdies and butterflies cir-
cling around, and there’s always lovely melodies playing in the
background. Doesn’t that happen for everyone??
JONRUNSGRAFTON
I think one of the lessons of those romantic movies has been lost
on you. The men fall in love with the women because they are inter-
esting women doing interesting things. The women are not looking
for love: Love finds them. You’re going about it all wrong.
