WASHINGTON — Treasury Secretary Janet

Yellen said Friday that the United States will run
out of money to pay its bills on time by June 5,
moving the goal posts slightly while maintaining
the urgency for congressional leaders to reach a
deal to raise or suspend the debt limit.
The letter provided the most precise date yet
for when the United States is expected to run out
of cash. Yellen had previously said the nation
could hit the so-called X-date — the moment
when it does not have enough money to pay all of
its bills on time — as soon as June 1.
Yellen’s letter comes as the White House and
House Republicans have been racing to reach a
deal that would lift the nation’s $31.4 trillion bor-
rowing cap and prevent the United States from
defaulting on its debt. The Treasury Department
hit its statutory debt limit Jan. 19 and has been
employing accounting maneuvers — known as
“extraordinary measures” — to ensure the United
States can continue paying its bills on time.
On Friday evening, President Biden expressed
hope that an agreement could soon be clinched.
“Things are looking good. I’m very optimistic,”
Biden said as he departed the White House for

Humidity can cause all sorts of prob-

her husband made to the Unit-

other security concerns linked
to the Irish Republican Army.
The documents were pub-

September.
The plot to kill the queen

The tally of people infected

About 70 percent of partici-

school boards are pushing
tougher punishments for trou-
bling student misbehavior that
has risen since the start of the

and students with disabilities.
The letter says concerns over
racial discrimination in school
discipline persist, despite de-

‘’Discrimination in student
discipline forecloses opportuni-
ties for students, pushing them
out of the classroom and divert-

BILLINGS, Mont. — A judge
ruled Friday that the US gov-

despite finding that it pollutes
streams in western states in vi-

Halting the use of the red
slurry material could have re-

damage from wildfires, said US

en in Missoula, Montana.
The judge agreed with US

dropping retardant from air-
craft into areas with waterways
was sometimes necessary to
protect lives and property.
The ruling came after came
after environmentalists sued

COLUMBIA, S.C. — A judge
put South Carolina’s new law
banning most abortions
around six weeks of pregnancy
on hold Friday until the state
Supreme Court can review the
measure, giving providers a
temporary reprieve in a region
that has enacted strict limits
on the procedure.
Judge Clifton Newman’s
ruling that put the state’s abor-
tion law back at roughly 20
weeks came about 24 hours af-
ter Gov. Henry McMaster
signed the bill into law without
any notice, which had left doz-
ens of people seeking abortions
in limbo and created the po-
tential for a legal abortion be-

Daniel J. Losen, director of
the Center for Civil Rights Rem-
edies at UCLA and senior direc-
tor of education at the nonprofit
National Center for Youth Law,
said federal law has not changed
from one administration to an-
other but that guidance sends a
message to school districts
about enforcement.
‘’The benefit of guidance is
that every state and local super-
intendent is made aware of it,’’
he said. When there is robust
guidance, he said, ‘’they’re all
given a message that, ‘Here’s
what the law says, here’s what
you should do.’’'

chemical fire retardant can be
crucial to slowing the advance

across North America have
grown bigger and more de-

More than 200 loads of re-
tardant got into waterways over
the past decade. Federal offi-

what has played out across the
country since the US Supreme
Court overturned Roe v. Wade
a year ago.
The state has seen the num-
ber of abortions climb sharply
as other Southern states
passed near-total bans. Before
the overturn of Roe, less than 1
in 10 abortions in South Caro-
lina were performed on people
who lived out of state. Now,
that figure is near 50 percent

than those without them. In the

Doctor who provided
abortion for child
rape victim punished
By Ava Sasani
NEW YORK TIMES
An Indiana doctor who pro-
vided an abortion to a 10-year-
old rape victim last year violated
her young patient’s privacy by
discussing the case with a re-
porter, the state’s medical board
ruled Thursday night.
Dr. Caitlin Bernard, an India-
napolis OB-GYN, catapulted in-
to the national spotlight last
year after she provided an abor-
tion for an Ohio girl soon after
the Supreme Court decision to
overturn Roe v. Wade, which left
states free to severely restrict or
outlaw abortion.
The state’s medical board
voted to issue Bernard a letter of
reprimand and a fine of $3,000.
But it decided against stiffer
penalties, which could have in-
cluded suspension or probation,
instead deciding that Bernard is
fit to return to her practice.
The board also cleared her of
other allegations that she failed
to appropriately report the girl’s
rape to authorities.
The decision was the culmi-
nation of a yearlong legal pur-
suit of Bernard by the state’s at-
torney general, Todd Rokita, a
Republican who opposes abor-
tion.
The Ohio girl had traveled to
Indiana for the procedure after
her home state enacted a ban on
most abortions after six weeks
of pregnancy. Bernard told a re-
porter for the Indianapolis Star
about the case during an abor-
tion rights rally. She didn’t name
the patient, but the case quickly
became a flashpoint in the early,
heated days of debate after the
Supreme Court ruling, catching
the attention of President Biden
and turning conservative atten-
tion and ire toward Bernard.
“I don’t think she intended
for this to go viral,” said Dr. John
Strobel, the president of the
board, calling Bernard a “good
doctor.”
“But I do think we as physi-
cians need to be more careful in
this situation,” he said.
Rokita, who had filed the
complaints against Bernard
with the medical board, praised
the outcome.
“This case was about patient
privacy and the trust between
the doctor and the patient that
was broken,” Rokita said in a
statement late Thursday. “What
if it was your child or your pa-
tient or your sibling who was
going through a sensitive medi-

the Justice and Education de-

school officials, pushing them to

tional growth.
cal crisis, and the doctor, who
you thought was on your side,
ran to the press for political rea-
sons?”
Bernard has criticized Rokita
for turning the case into a “polit-
ical stunt.”
During the hearing, which
stre tched for more than 15
hours, ending just before mid-
night, Bernard said that her
own comments did not reveal
the patient’s protected health in-
formation. Rather, Bernard
said, it was the fierce political
battle that followed. Some con-
servatives doubted her story and
drove a demand to confirm it.
Eventually, the man accused of
raping the girl appeared in court
and was linked to her case.
Bernard, who has publicly
advocated for abortion rights,
said she had an ethical obliga-
tion to educate the public about
urgent matters of public health,
especially questions about re-
productive health — her area of
expertise.
In July, after Indiana sched-
uled a special legislative session
on abortion, Bernard was con-
cerned that lawmakers in her
home state would pass strict re-
strictions on abortion access
similar to the Ohio law that
forced her 10-year-old patient to
cross state lines.
Indiana passed legislation
banning most abortions, with
narrow exceptions for rape and
incest. That law is on hold pend-
ing a legal challenge. Abortion is
currently legal in Indiana up to
22 weeks.
Bernard said she wanted to
highlight the potential conse-
quences of laws restricting abor-
tion access, and “did not antici-
pate” how much the public
would focus on the Ohio girl’s
case.
“I think its incredibly impor-
tant for people to understand
the real-word impacts of the
laws of this country,” she said.
Dr. Peter Schwartz, a Penn-
sylvania OB-GYN and chair of
American Medical Association’s
Council on Ethical and Judicial
Affairs, supported Bernard’s de-
cision to speak out about the
Ohio patient.
Schwartz said Bernard had
an “affirmative obligation to
speak out” about issues of repro-
ductive health, noting that she is
one of just two doctors in Indi-
ana with expertise in complicat-
ed obstetric cases like second-
trimester abortions.

KYIV — Russia’s southern
Belgorod region bordering
Ukraine came under attack Fri-

Moscow’s forces, meanwhile,

the city of Dnipro, in central
Ukraine, killing two people and

Earlier this week, the Bel-
gorod region was the target of
one of the most serious cross-
border attacks from Ukraine
since the war began 15 months
ago. Details of the raid were
murky. Russia blamed the Ukrai-
nian armed forces, but two Rus-
sian groups said they were in-
volved, with the aim of bringing
down Russian President Vladi-
mir Putin.
Officials in Russia’s southern
city of Krasnodar, in the region
of the same name bordering
Crimea, said two drones struck
there. Witnesses told local me-
dia they heard something like
the sound of a moped and then
two explosions.
The blasts smashed a hole in
the roof of one building and
blew out windows in an apart-
ment building.
“ We just went to bed and
then there was such a strong,
terrible boom,” said resident Ta-
tiana Safonova. “We ran outside.

agreed to leave their homes
and that authorities could not
force them to do so.
Police issued a public call
to evacuate, citing “the threat
to human health and life
caused by unexploded ord-
nance.”
During World War II, Wro-
claw was the German city of

Poll finds US split
on arms for Ukraine
By Anushka Patil
NEW YORK TIMES
While a bipartisan majori-
ty of the American public be-
lieves Russia’s war in Ukraine
is unjustified, support for pro-
viding Ukraine with weapons
has dropped over the past 12
months, according to a new
poll released this week by the
University of Chicago Harris
School of Public Policy and
NORC at the University of
Chicago.
The poll, which was con-
ducted in mid-April and re-
leased Wednesday, adds to
findings from earlier this year
that showed public support
for arming Ukraine weaken-
ing.
In the most recent poll, 50
percent of Americans strongly
favored or somewhat favored
the United States sending
weapons, down from 61 per-
cent in mid-April 2022.
Public support for impos-
ing economic sanctions on
Russia and accepting Ukraini-
an refugees into the United
States has also declined, the
poll found. Only support for
sending government funds to
Ukraine, as opposed to weap-
ons, has remained largely un-
changed since roughly a year
ago.
Still, a strong majority of
Americans — some 70 percent
— disapproved of Russia’s in-
vasion. There are partisan dif-
ferences: 82 percent of Demo-
Actor’s lawsuit allowed to continue
LONDON — A London
court on Friday rejected an at-
tempt by the publisher of The
Sun tabloid to throw out a law-
suit by actor Hugh Grant alleg-
ing that journalists and investi-
gators it hired illegally snooped
on him.
Justice Timothy Fancourt
said a trial will have to deter-
mine whether Rupert Mur-
doch’s News Group Newspa-
pers carried out unlawful infor-
mation gathering that included
tapping Grant’s home phone,
bugging his car, and breaking
into his home.
“If true — which will be a
matter for the trial due to take
place in January 2024 — these
allegations would establish
very serious, deliberate wrong-
doing at NGN, conducted on
an institutional basis on a huge
scale,” Fancourt wrote. “Of par-
ticular relevance ..., they would
also establish a concerted ef-
fort to conceal the wrongdoing
by hiding and destroying rele-
vant documentary evidence,
repeated public denials, lies to
regulators and authorities, and
Iran and Belgium swap prisoners
Iran freed a Belgian aid
worker imprisoned in Tehran
for 455 days on charges of spy-
ing, in exchange for Belgium re-
leasing a former Iranian diplo-
mat who was convicted in 2021
of a thwarted bomb plot, offi-
cials from both countries said
Friday.
The aid worker, Olivier Van-
decasteele, was flown late
Thursday from Tehran to Mus-
cat, the capital of Oman, where
the exchange took place, Bel-
gium’s prime minister, Alexan-
der De Croo, said on Friday.
“At this moment our compa-
triot Olivier Vandecasteele is on
his way to Belgium,” De Croo
said in a video address from
Brussels, confirming that the
government had secured Van-
decasteele’s release. He added
that Vandecasteele had under-
gone medical examinations to
assess his health after more
than a year “under very difficult
conditions.”
Vandecasteele had worked
in Iran for five years until he
lost his job in March 2021 and
crats said they believed that
Russia’s actions were an un-
justified attempt to gain terri-
tory, versus 69 percent of Re-
publicans, the Harris School
of Public Policy said.
The findings reflect a dif-
ference between Americans’
principles and what they are
willing to pay for, said Sibel
Oktay, a nonresident senior
fellow of public opinion and
foreign policy at the Chicago
Council on Global Affairs.
Though a “huge majority”
of the public said they felt
that Russia’s actions were un-
justified, the crucial question
is whether they are “willing to
send the tax dollars or send
significant portions of US re-
sources to the Ukrainians to
undermine these Russian ef-
forts,” she said.
The results also suggested
that Americans might not feel
their country has as much of a
stake in the war today as it
did a year ago, Oktay said. She
added that these were impor-
tant signals for the Biden ad-
ministration to heed in its do-
mestic messaging about the
United States’ interests in the
conflict.
While a small group of
congressional Republicans
has been clamoring against
sending further aid to
Ukraine, the Biden adminis-
tration has repeatedly vowed
to back Ukraine for the long
haul.
unwarranted threats to those
who dared to make allegations
or notify intended claims
against The Sun.”
During a hearing last
month, News Group argued
that claims of unlawful infor-
mation gathering by Grant and
Prince Harry should be thrown
out because they weren’t
brought within a six-year time
limit.
The judge dismissed Grant’s
phone hacking claims on time
limitation grounds, saying the
actor, who has played a key
role in the Hacked Off press re-
form group, was well aware of
the voicemail interception
scandal and could have
brought such a claim much
sooner.
But the judge said the case
could proceed on other allega-
tions the actor said he only be-
came aware of in 2021 after
private investigator Gavin Bur-
rows began disclosing alleged
acts of phone tapping, bug-
ging, and burglary on behalf of
the paper.

left the country. When he re-
turned to retrieve some belong-
ings in February of last year, he
was arrested by Iranian author-
ities, who sentenced him to 40
years in prison and 74 lashes on
charges of espionage, money
laundering, and currency
smuggling. The Belgian govern-
ment had called Vandecasteele’s
imprisonment arbitrary and
said Iran had provided no in-
formation on the case.
In exchange for Vande-
casteele being freed, Oman ne-
gotiated the release of Assadol-
lah Assadi, an Iranian diplomat
who was arrested in Germany
in 2020 on accusations of plot-
ting a bomb attack at a meeting
of Iranian opposition leaders in
France in 2018. The attack was
thwarted, but he was later con-
victed in Brussels in 2021 and
sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Photos posted late Friday by
Mizan, a news agency overseen
by Iran’s judiciary, appeared to
show that Assadi had arrived in
Tehran.

rally in
support
of Vucic
President faces
unrest after two
mass shootings
By Dusan Stojanovic
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BELGRADE, Serbia — Tens
of thousands of people con-
verged on the Serbian capital on
Friday for a major rally in sup-
port of President Aleksandar
Vucic, who is facing an unprece-
dented revolt against his auto-
cratic rule amid the crisis trig-
gered by two mass shootings
that stunned the nation.
Addressing the rain-
drenched crowd, Vucic blasted
the opposition for seeking his
resignation for mishandling the
crisis and creating divisions
within the country. The two
shootings in early May left 18
people dead.
Referring to large anti gov-
ernment protests held in the
past weeks, Vucic accused oppo-
sition politicians of “trying to
abuse the tragedy.”
“The politicians will go down
in history of dishonor because
they abused the biggest tragedy
in the history of our nation,” he
said. “Those politicians deserve
only contempt.”
But Vucic still invited the op-
position to dialogue about their
demands.
“All along they had just one
desire, to topple me and topple
the government of Serbia,” he
said. “Those politicians weren’t
even interested in children.”
Vucic reiterated he will step
down as his Serbian Progressive
Party’s leader on Saturday and
announced plans to form a new,
nationwide movement that is to
include politicians, prominent
intellectuals, artists, and others.
“I am not going anywhere,”
he said. “We will defend Serbia
together.”
The rally Friday was some-
what overshadowed by a new
crisis in Serbia’s former province
of Kosovo, where ethnic Serbs
clashed with Kosovo police on
Friday and Vucic ordered Serbi-
an troops to be put on a “higher
state of alert.” Vucic also said
that he ordered an “urgent”
movement of Serbian troops to
the border with Kosovo, which
declared independence in 2008.
Answering Vucic’s call for
what he called “the largest rally
in the history of Serbia,” his sup-
porters, many wearing identical
T-shirts with his portrait, were
bused to Belgrade from all over
the Balkan country as well as
neighboring Kosovo and Bosnia.
The organizers said that
“hundreds of thousands” of par-
ticipants attended the gathering
in front of Serbia’s National As-
sembly amid rain and a thunder-
storm that drove many to find a
shelter.
Those working in state firms
and institutions were told to
take a day off from work to at-
tend the rally in front of the par-
liament building. Some said that
they were warned that they
could lose their jobs if they
didn’t show up on the buses
which started arriving hours be-
fore the gathering was to start.
Serbian officials said the rally
promotes “unity and hope” for
Serbia.
At three large anti-govern-
ment protests held earlier this
month in the capital, demon-
strators demanded Vucic’s oust-
er as well as the resignation of
two senior security officials.
They also demanded the with-
drawal of broadcasting licenses
for two pro-Vucic television sta-
tions that promote violence and
often host convicted war crimi-
nals and other crime figures.
Opposition protesters blame
Vucic for creating an atmo-
sphere of hopelessness and divi-
sion in the country that they say
indirectly led to the May 3 and
May 4 mass shootings that left
18 people dead and 20 wound-
ed, many of them schoolchildren
who were gunned down by a 13-
year-old schoolmate.
Vucic has vehemently denied
any responsibility for the shoot-
ings, calling organizers of the
opposition protests “vultures”
and “hyenas” who want to use
the tragedies to try to come to
power by force and without an
election.
Members of the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office search and rescue team took part in a search
for a boy whose body was found in the Kings River earlier this week.
California’s melting snowpack
means cold, deadly torrents
By Haven Daley
and John Antczak
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Cali-
fornia rivers fed by this winter’s
massive Sierra Nevada snow-
pack have been turned into
deadly torrents, drawing warn-
ings from public safety officials
ahead of the Memorial Day
weekend’s traditional start of
outdoor summer recreation.
At least seven people, includ-
ing two children, have died or
gone missing this spring in the
grasp of powerful rivers plung-
ing down from California’s tow-
ering mountain range, and there
have been numerous rescues.
“This year we’re seeing high-
er water, faster water, and colder
water,” said Captain Justin Syl-
via, a fire spokesperson in Sacra-
mento, which is crossed by the
American River.
Sacramento has already had
20 water rescues this year, near-
ly as many as all of 2022, Sylvia
said Tuesday as crews practiced
swift-water rescues on the lower
American River near its conflu-
ence with the Sacramento River.
Memorial Day weekend is
typically one of the busiest, if not
the busiest, times of the year,
and “floating down the Ameri-
can River is like a quintessential
Sacramento activity,” said Ken
Casparis, spokesperson for Sac-
ramento County regional parks.
“Probably thousands of peo-
ple use the river for floating or
swimming or rafting, what have
you, and this weekend condi-
tions are shaping up to be pretty
dangerous, so we have been urg-
ing people to stay off the river,”
he said.
Even just wading along the
shore is being discouraged, said
Casparis, who was hoping for
chilly weather to discourage riv-
er use. Forecasters predicted
mild weather in the interior of
Northern California except for
chances of thunderstorms in the
mountains.
With Californians expected
to flock to the outdoors, the Gov-
ernor’s Office of Emergency Ser-
vices on T hursday issued a
broad caution about conditions
they might encounter, including
fast-moving water, following
months of severe weather.

Ban on weight discrimination becomes law in New York
By Emma G. Fitzsimmons
NEW YORK TIMES
NEW YORK — Mayor Eric
Adams on Friday signed into law
a ban on discrimination in New
York City based on a person’s
weight.
The law adds weight and
height to the list of characteris-
tics that are protected from dis-
crimination, along with race,
gender, age, religion, and sexual
orientation, and will apply to
employment, housing, and ac-
cess to public accommodations.
Adams, a Democrat in his
second year in office, had ex-
pressed support for the bill,
which was approved by the City
Council earlier this month.
Adams, who published a
book in 2020 about losing 35
pounds on a plant-based diet,
said Friday that the law would
make workplaces more inclusive
and that people who are apply-
ing for a job should not be treat-
ed differently.

you’re healthy or unhealthy,” he

the Sierra range in deep snow
that is now melting, swelling
Central Valley rivers that just
months ago were running low
because of years of extreme
drought.
Reservoirs that store water
and provide flood control must
release high flows into rivers to
maintain room for incoming
runoff. That, in turn, changes
rivers. Sandbars and ledges may
become steep drop-offs and lead
to an unexpected plunge into
cold water.
‘This weekend
conditions are
shaping up to be
pretty dangerous,
so we have been
urging people to
stay off the river.’
KEN CASPARIS, Sacramento
County regional parks official
“It can really give a shock to
the body,” said Daniel Bowers,
Sacramento city’s director of
emergency management. Ex-
perts say muscle control can be
lost in minutes.
The recent tragedies include
an 8-year-old girl and her 4-year-
old brother, who were swept
away by the Kings River on Sun-
day. The girl’s body was found
that afternoon and the boy’s
body was found nearly 2 miles
downstream on Monday, the
Fresno County Sheriff ’s Office
said.
The fatal accident occurred
even though both the Kings and
San Joaquin rivers have been or-
dered closed to recreational us-
ers since March 14.
In the Sierra northeast of Sac-
ramento, a man was swept away
by the American River on April
29, two days after Placer County
authorities first issued warn-
ings. His body was found Friday
in a lake miles away. Another
man who vanished in the river
on Mother’s Day remains miss-
ing.
Placer County’s messaging
about the risk is blunt. “If the

said. “I think that’s a misnomer
that we’re really dispelling.”
The law is part of a growing
national campaign to address
weight discrimination, with law-
makers in New Jersey and Mas-
sachusetts considering similar
measures. Michigan and Wash-
ington state already prohibit it,
as do some cities, like Washing-
ton, D.C.

going to die, more people than
we’ve seen over the last few
years,” sheriff ’s Sergeant Kevin
Griffiths says in a public service
announcement video.
The American River has not
been closed to recreation in Sac-
ramento but Bowers, the emer-
gency management official,
urged all river users to wear life
jackets, even if they’re using an-
other flotation device.
American River Raft Rentals
of suburban Rancho Cordova
has temporarily suspended its
operations on the lower segment
of the river because the rate of
flow is too high, co-owner Kent
Hansen said Thursday.
“We definitely understand
that this is part of the business
and that’s why we would never
put profits over safety,” Hansen
said. “We’re hoping that all of
our guests will choose a safe
time to go soon when water
flows get back a normal, raftable
flow.”
Sylvia, the fire captain, em-
phasized that people should im-
mediately call 911 if someone
gets in trouble in the water.
“If you have a rope or if you
have a life jacket that you can
throw to them, do that, but do
not go in the water after them
because you will become a sec-
ond victim,” he said.
In Yosemite National Park,
waterfalls have been thundering
with runoff bound for the Mer-
ced River. The park has advised
visitors to keep their distance
from all waterways and stay off
slick rocks.
“We shouldn’t have to say it,
but do not try to wade, swim, or
float on any rivers or creeks,” the
park said via Facebook.
With summer approaching,
the Kern County Sheriff’s Office
on Friday planned to carry out a
ritual intended to warn people
about the southern Sierra’s noto-
rious Kern River, which country
legend Merle Haggard called “a
mean piece of water” in his song
“Kern River.”
A sign at the mouth of the
Kern River Canyon, which tallies
the number of lives lost in the
river since 1968, is updated each
spring to add deaths that oc-
curred over the previous 12
months. This year, the total was
to be raised from 317 to 325.

Change to allow
colleges to hide
race of applicant
Common App
makes move as
court ruling nears
By Anemona Hartocollis
NEW YORK TIMES
Each year, the 1 million or so
students applying to college
through the Common App are
given the option to check a box,
disclosing whether they identify
as Hispanic, Asian, Black or
white, among other choices.
Now, with the US Supreme
Court expected to rule soon
against race-conscious admis-
sions — and with colleges want-
ing to follow the law — the Com-
mon App has made a preemp-
tive move on what is known as
the “race box.”
Beginning Aug. 1, colleges
will be able to hide the informa-
tion in those boxes from their
own admissions teams, said Jen-
ny Rickard, CEO of the Common
App, in an interview.
The new option will help col-
leges comply “with whatever le-
gal standard the Supreme Court
will set in regards to race in ad-
missions,” Common App said in
a statement. A nonprofit, Com-
mon App administers a univer-
sal application used by more
than 1,000 colleges and universi-
ties.
The decision, which appears
to be aimed at immunizing col-
leges from litigation, is one of
the first concrete examples of
how college admissions might
be transformed if the Supreme
Court bans or restricts race-con-
scious admissions. The college
opt-out could also put more
pressure on applicants to signal
their racial and ethnic back-
ground through other means,
primarily in essays or teacher
recommendations.
The scope of the court’s deci-
sion, expected in late June, is un-
known. But the justices showed
a keen interest in the use of race
boxes during the oral arguments
last fall.
Colleges have said they will
follow the law but are wary of fu-
ture litigation. Groups opposed
to affirmative action have said
that they may file lawsuits that
could test the boundaries of the
Supreme Court’s ruling.
The potential case against
race boxes is obvious, according
to Edward Blum, founder of Stu-
dents for Fair Admissions, the
plaintiffs in the current court
cases against Harvard and the
University of North Carolina.
“If racial preferences are de-
termined to be illegal, then it
must follow that racial classifica-
tion boxes should not be allowed
on college application forms,” he
said.
Masking the race boxes on
the Common App could give uni-
versities a measure of plausible
deniability, legal experts said,
and perhaps some protection
from lawsuits.
Essays are a less likely target
for lawsuits. As a practical mat-
ter, it would be hard to redact
mentions of race from the many
thousands of application essays
Some business leaders and
Republicans had expressed con-
cerns about the bill, including
Kathryn S. Wylde, president of
the Partnership for New York
City, a business advocacy group,
who said that it could be an
onerous mandate for companies
and would place a burden on
regulators and the judicial sys-
tem.
Obesity rates have risen in
the United States over the last
two decades, and more than 40
percent of American adults are
considered obese.
The body acceptance move-
ment and self-described fat ac-
tivists have sought to reduce bi-
as and shame around weight.
Podcasts like “Maintenance
Phase” have spread awareness
that not all overweight people
are unhealthy and that diets of-
ten fail.
New York City has been a
center for fat activism since at
least the 1960s, when a crowd of
500 people held a “fat in” at Cen-
tral Park.
Tigress Osborn, chair of the
that colleges receive every year,
with more than 50,000 appli-
cants at Harvard alone.
But more litigation around
the broader issue of diversity,
like scholarships for Black stu-
dents, seems likely. “There is a
colossal, well-organized, well-
funded attack agenda,” said Art
Coleman, managing partner of
Education Counsel, a consulting
firm working with universities
on the Supreme Court cases.
During oral arguments, the
Supreme Court justices spent
considerable time discussing the
race box and the application es-
say. Some variant of the phrase
“checking the box” was used
more than 30 times during the
five hours of argument before
the justices last October.
Patrick Strawbridge, a lawyer
for Students for Fair Admis-
sions, sparred with the justices
over when it would be appropri-
ate for admissions officers to
know the race of an applicant.
He suggested that much would
depend on the context of the rev-
elation.
“What we object to is a con-
sideration of race and race by it-
self,” Strawbridge told the jus-
tices.
“Race in a box-checking way,
as opposed to race in an experi-
ential statement?” Justice Amy
Coney Barrett, one of the conser-
vative majority expected to be
sympathetic to the plaintiffs,
elaborated.
Strawbridge said it would be
harder to object to a thoughtful
essay that invoked the student’s
race.
An essay about overcoming
racial discrimination could be
permitted, because it “obviously
indicates that the applicant has
grit, that the applicant has over-
come some hardship,” Straw-
bridge told the justices. “It tells
you something about the charac-
ter and the experience of the ap-
plicant other than their skin col-
or.”
Isiaah Crawford, president of
the University of Puget Sound,
said he hoped the court would
agree with Strawbridge on that
point.
“We certainly do believe that
student applicants should have a
First Amendment right to be
able to speak about their back-
ground if they choose to do so,”
Crawford said.
If discussion of a student’s
race were fully barred, he said, a
white applicant to an Ivy League
school might be able to write
about being the child of an alum-
na, while a Black student might
not be able to “to talk about his
or her background, whose
grandparents weren’t let into
schools like the Ivy League, and
how that has impacted their
choices.”
The Common App will con-
tinue to collect racial informa-
tion for its own purposes, like
looking at trends in applications
among different groups, regard-
less of how the Supreme Court
decides, Rickard said. Because
the nonprofit does not admit
students, it is unlikely to be a tar-
get of litigation.
National Association to Advance
Fat Acceptance, a nonprofit ad-
vocacy group, said she hoped
that other cities would approve
similar laws to send the message
that size discrimination was a
“serious injustice.”
The bill’s sponsor, Shaun
Abreu, a council member from
northern Manhattan, said that
he gained weight during the
pandemic and noticed that peo-
ple treated him differently. He
said that the law would make
employers think twice about dis-
criminating against heavier peo-
ple and raise awareness about
the problem.
“It’s also about changing the
culture in how we think about
weight,” he said.
Complaints about weight dis-
crimination will be investigated
by the city’s Commission on Hu-
man Rights, which already ex-
amines complaints over race,
gender, and other issues.
State lawmakers in New York
are also considering a weight
discrimination law. The city law
will take effect in 180 days.

The figure includes online

raised by around 100 donors
who converged on the Four Sea-
sons in Miami starting Wednes-

launched his campaign in a live

went haywire. Despite the rocky

The first-day fund-raising
haul is a welcome boost for a
candidate hoping to close a sig-
nificant polling gap with Trump,
the current leader in public sur-

campaign said it raised more
than $9.5 million in the first
quarter after launching, and
about $14.5 million in the first
three months of this year. The
campaign of another 2024 Re-
publican contender, Senator
Tim Scott of South Carolina, re-
cently said it raised $2 million in
the first 24 hours.

Texas House to hold
impeachment vote Saturday
The Texas House plans to
vote on the impeachment of At-
torney General Ken Paxton at 1
p.m. on Saturday, according to a
memo released Friday by House
Speaker Dade Phelan’s office.
EVAN VUCCI/ASSOCIATED PRESS
The vote could lead to a state
Senate trial and potentially the
ouster of Paxton, one of the fierc-
est opponents of the Biden ad-
ministration and an architect of
conservative Texas policies on
cultural issues adopted by other
red states.
A Republican-led House in-
vestigative committee this week
unanimously recommended im-
peaching Paxton on 20 articles,
including bribery, unfitness for
office, and abuse of public trust.
The committee said it began in-
vestigating Paxton in March, af-
ter he requested $3.3 million in
taxpayer funds to end a lawsuit
by former staffers who accused
him of retaliation.

Biden administration unveils
plan to combat antisemitism
President Biden on Thursday
released the country’s first na-
tional strategy for combating an-
tisemitism, a landmark lauded
by Jewish and anti-hate groups
as progress toward addressing
the increasing instances of vio-
lence and bias toward Jewish
people in the United States.
But Representative Lauren
Boebert, a Colorado Republican,
saw the effort as an attack on
those of her political persuasion.
“When they say stuff like this,
they mean they want to go after
conservatives,’’ she tweeted.
“Their tactics are straight out of
the USSR’s playbook.’’
Her comments quickly at-
tracted criticism from detractors
who accuse her of conflating a
straightfor ward campaign
against antisemitism with an as-
sault on the right — and by im-
plication, equating conserva-
tives with antisemites
In response to questions
about her tweet, Boebert’s office
provided a statement equating
the anti-hate effort with censor-
ship of free speech and adding
that she does not condone anti-
semitism.
‘’This is the latest version of
this administration’s failed ‘Min-
istry of Truth,’ ” Boebert said in
the statement. “The First
Amendment guarantees a mar-
ketplace of ideas where truth,
beauty, and justice ultimately
win out.’’
Biden on Thursday an-
nounced the four-pillar strategy
to address hate in a video ad-
dress, outlining a plan that in-
cluded over 100 steps for the
government to take. The goals
included increasing awareness
and understanding of antisemi-
tism, ramping up security for
Jewish communities, reversing
the normalization of discrimina-
tion, and improving on collec-
tive efforts to counter hate.
“In the past several years,
hate has been given too much
oxygen, fueling a record rise in
antisemitism,’’ Biden said. “It’s
simply wrong. It’s not only
wrong, it’s immoral, it’s unac-
ceptable. It’s on all of us to stop
it.’’
The Anti-Defamation
League, a group dedicated to
fighting anti-Jewish hatred,
counted 3,697 antisemitic inci-
dents last year, a 36 percent in-
crease from the previous year
and the highest figure since it
began keeping records in 1979.
Representative Jared
Moskowitz (D-Fla.), who is Jew-
ish, has previously said publicly
that he has been bombarded
with antisemitic messages on
Twitter and has called for the
platform to beef up its modera-
tion process.
On Friday, he applauded the
administration’s announcement
as “tremendously important,’’
saying it should be welcomed by
all Americans no matter their
political beliefs.

While Yellen’s letter to law-
makers provides a tiny bit of
wiggle room, it also makes clear
the dire financial situation that
Treasury is facing. The federal
government is required to make
more than $130 billion in
scheduled payments during the
first two days of June — includ-
ing money to veterans and So-
cial Security and Medicare re-
cipients.
Those payments will leave
the Treasury Department with
“an extremely low level of re-
sources.” Yellen went on to de-
tail billions of dollars of re-
quired cash transfers, expendi-
tures, and investments in
programs such as the Social Se-
curity and Medicare trust funds
that will further deplete its cash
reserves.
“Our projected resources
would be inadequate to satisfy
all of these obligations,” Yellen
wrote.

McHenry, a North Carolina Re-
publican who is a key player in
the talks, said the Treasury De-
partment’s more precise date
“puts additional pressure on
us.”
Even before the letter was
sent, McHenry said he was cog-
nizant of how little time re-
mained to prevent a default.
“We’ve got to be in the clos-
ing hours because of the time-
line,” he said. “I don’t know if
it’s in the next day or two or
three, but it’s got to come to-
gether.”
For months, Yellen has been
warning lawmakers that the
United States could run out of
cash to pay all of its bills on time
in early June.
Yellen said earlier this week
that she would try to include
more precision in her future up-
dates about when a default
might occur. Some House Re-

means to capture the electricity
in the air. It’s dangerous. It’s un-
predictable. But I think this
technology essentially turns
that dream into reality,” said Jun
Yao, assistant professor of elec-
trical and computer engineering
in the College of Engineering at
UMass Amherst and the paper’s
senior author.
As of now, the Air-gen can
create enough electricity to
power a small sensor, like a
heart-rate monitor, but the au-
thors say the technology has the
potential to be made at a much
larger scale and used as a clean
energy source that might help
augment wind and solar.
Perhaps the most significant
finding, the authors write in the
journal Advanced Materials, is
that any number of materials,
including cellulose, which is
found in the cell walls of plants,
can be used for the device, pro-
vided they can be engineered
with small enough pores. That
could open the door for inex-
pensive mass production. Un-
like batteries that require min-
erals like lithium or solar panels
that require silicon, there would
be no mining required, the re-
searchers said.
The technology could be em-
ployed for small personal tasks,
like charging cellphones, and on
a larger scale to help feed the
power grid when solar and wind
are not generating enough.
They said the device works in
the humidity range of 20 to 100
percent, noting that the Sahara
Desert has an average humidity
of 25 percent. The higher the
humidity, though, the larger the
power output.
“Since air humidity essential-
ly is everywhere, we can con-
stantly get electricity from the
air,” Yao said. “I call it a sustain-
able, continuous, and ubiqui-
tous powering solution.”
Some scientists hailed the
possibilities in what many saw
as a novel and innovative dis-
covery. James Tour, a professor
of chemistry and nanoengineer-
ing at Rice University in Texas
who was not involved in the
study, called it remarkable and
said it could have “an enormous
impact.”
“Its simplicity in deployment
makes it super attractive,” he
said.
is the very key significance,” he
said.
But some scientists also said
the published work’s scientific
conclusions do not yet provide
the kind of detail necessary to
gauge its practicality, particular-
ly on a large scale.
“Hard to know what to make
of this,” said Donald Sadoway, a
professor emeritus of materials
chemistry at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology. “It’s not
apparent what kind of practical
numbers can emerge. Investors
would ask what we can expect
in terms of power output in
watts and the cost.”
He noted that one of the ma-
terials used in the current de-
vice is gold.
“That’s not good from a cost
perspective,” he said.
The finding builds on earlier
discoveries, including by Yao,
which showed that the idea of

A pro-MCAS voice emerges

W
ith all Democratic control on Bea-
con Hill, teachers unions have
launched a (renewed) push not just
to eliminate the MCAS exam as a
graduation requirement, but also
to end the state’s ability to take over chronically un-
derperforming districts. Under their favored legisla-
tion, it would be left up to the state’s many school dis-
tricts to determine whether their students had
achieved sufficient competence in math, English, and
science to graduate.
And what of statewide educational standards?
Well, a 26-member commission, with a dizzying array
of membership requirements, would study alternative
ways of assessing students and schools. By the end of
August 2024 it would be charged with … filing a re-
port.
Here’s what this legislation really boils down to:
An effort to strip the state of its ability to ensure basic
educational quality and accountability, while camou-
flaging that goal with the creation of a bureaucratic
commission that will supposedly recommend alterna-
tive approaches. No wonder it has inspired support-
ers of MCAS to organize in its defense.
Although this bill goes by the name Thrive Act, it
might better be labeled the False Guise Act. Why? Be-
cause one of the principal anti-MCAS arguments of
the Massachusetts Teachers Association and its close
(and financially dependent) ally Citizens for Public
Schools has been rendered inoperative. As this page
has reported, their claim that since its inception as a
graduation requirement, the MCAS exam has been
the sole factor keeping some 50,000 otherwise quali-
fied students from graduating appears to vastly over-
state the true number of students who fall into the
category. The test required for graduation is pitched
to a 10th-grade level; if students don’t pass as a soph-
omore, they get several more opportunities. Accord-
ing to 2015 to 2019 data compiled by the Department
of Elementary and Secondary Education, of the high
school seniors who didn’t pass the MCAS in those
years, between 72 percent and 74 percent also failed
to complete their local district’s graduation require-
ments.
But though the supposed “facts” upon which
MCAS opponents were basing much of their argu-
ment have changed, their anti-accountability objec-
tives haven’t. They still want to eliminate the MCAS
as a graduation requirement and to end the state’s
ability to put failing districts in receivership, an im-
portant last-resort option to protect students in those
districts.
And, of course, in MTA speak, the state’s highly
successful education reform effort — which married
big new infusions of state money with statewide cur-
riculum standards and the Massachusetts Compre-
hensive Assessment System — is “the 30-year experi-
ment with test, punish and privatize.” The American
Federation of Teachers Massachusetts, meanwhile,
urges its members to help end “the harm caused by
the high-stakes, punitive use of standardized tests,

pro-MCAS role in the education
policy space.
such as state takeovers and denying students high
school diplomas.”
No matter that the sustained, bipartisan educa-
tion-improvement commitment has made Massachu-
setts the recognized national leader in public educa-
tion. And that takeovers — while certainly no panacea
— are needed as an option in cases of chronically mis-
managed or underperforming districts that have
shown they are not adequately educating their stu-
dents.
At this point, alert legislators should be viewing
union claims about the MCAS with pronounced skep-
ticism.
Meanwhile, lawmakers should take notice of a new
coalition, Voices for Academic Equity, that is deter-
mined to play a pro-MCAS role in the education poli-
cy space. This group includes the Massachusetts Busi-
ness Alliance for Education, four teachers groups —
Teach Plus, Teach for America Massachusetts, The
Teachers’ Lounge (a professional network of educa-
tors of color), and Educators for Excellence — Mass
Insight Education, Democrats for Education Reform,
Boston Schools Fund, the Massachusetts Charter Pub-
lic School Association, the National Parents Union,
and the Education Trust Massachusetts. It also in-
cludes Paul Toner, who was president of the Massa-
chusetts Teachers Association from 2010 to 2014,
during an era when the MTA was considered a pro-
ductive partner in educational improvement.
This coalition understands the value the MCAS
brings as a uniform statewide standard of assessment
but wants to make the test less intimidating for stu-
dents, even while rendering their MCAS results a
more timely tool for helping individual students.
Among its suggestions: Offer parts of the exam in
other languages, thereby reducing a possible hurdle
for students who are English language learners. That
certainly could be done with the math and science ex-
ams. Indeed, the state already offers the 10th-grade
math test in Spanish and biology and introductory
physics in Spanish and American Sign Language. Ac-
cording to the report, 31 states as well as the District
of Columbia offer native language exams, usually in
math or science, but sometimes also in social studies
and reading and language arts.
The coalition also calls for involving more educa-
tors of color in developing the test to ensure that it
doesn’t include culturally biased questions.
Its report says the Department of Elementary and
Secondary Education should identify areas where
large numbers of students struggle and determine the
best educational strategies to address those weak-
nesses. MCAS results should also be used to identify
students who need tutoring or additional education
time during the school year or who would benefit
from summer education programs, it adds.
The coalition also plans an effort to educate policy
makers and citizens about the value and uses of the
MCAS. One of those, of course, is the need the MCAS
fills for a uniform statewide assessment of student
performance.
Ed Lambert, a former state representative and
mayor of Fall River, who is now executive director of
MBAE, points out that the MCAS has provided crucial
data that have allowed educators to identify and ad-
dress achievement gaps.
“You wouldn’t know that we have achievement
gaps if it weren’t for the MCAS,” he said. “How can
you attack inequity if you are not going to collect da-
ta?”
That’s a good question, and one lawmakers should
consider as they listen to the usual suspects argue
that the MCAS itself is somehow an instrument to op-
press students of color rather than a tool to make sure
they get the solid high school education they deserve.
As far as the MCAS is concerned, the smart ap-
proach is to improve both the test and its use — and
not to eliminate it as a graduation requirement.

How to protect undocumented workers

from exploitation

A
Maine woman recently saw a
home in a town near Augusta
where apparently a large group
of undocumented workers were
being housed together. She was
distraught and did not know what to do to
help them.
The woman reached out to Michael Felsen
after he was quoted in a Portland Press Her-
ald article about the 17 undocumented work-
ers found by federal agents in a Lisbon,
Maine, home. Felsen is a former US Depart-
ment of Labor attorney who now works as an
adviser on worker protection issues.
“She thought there were about 20 work-
ers” living in the home, Felsen said. “She was
fearful that this was another exploitive ar-
rangement similar to the one that was written
about in Lisbon. She felt very conflicted and
disconcerted about the situation because she
had concerns about the workers’ welfare. But
she also didn’t want to interject herself be-
cause she didn’t want to jeopardize the work-
ers’ situation on the assumption that they
were working without authorization and that,
if somehow this was brought to light, it would
create potential immigration problems for
them.”
The woman’s dilemma spotlights an often-
ignored tension when discussing undocu-
mented labor. Because of the high cost that
unauthorized workers often have to pay if ex-
posed to authorities — they can lose their job
or get deported — they have an insidious in-
centive to remain invisible. But the need that
these workers have to stay undetected and
earn income is precisely what unscrupulous
employers and labor brokers take advantage
of; thus that makes it simple for them to not
offer workers the wages or safe working con-
ditions required by law. The question of how
to address the Maine woman’s concerns does
not have easy answers. But there are some
policies and remedies that are useful to high-
light.
“The way you address the corrosive quality
of these situations in our society is to create a
floor from which people can stand and speak
up,” said Diego Low, director of the Metrow-
est Worker Center in Framingham and long-
time workers’ rights advocate. “And we’re not
just talking about wages, we’re not just talk-
ing about people who are injured on the job

unlikely,” he said.
Indeed, exploitation
of undocumented indi-
viduals thrives because
they don’t have the
ability to come forward
in a way that’s protect-
ed. Or if there are
mechanisms to do so,
they don’t know them.
It’s why Felsen told the
woman she should try
to get word to any of
the workers to contact
local legal advocates,
immigrant activists, or
community organiza-
tions so they can ex-
plain to the workers
what their rights are,
what the risks are, and
what legal avenues ex-
ist to help them.
“That’s an important
function that worker
centers provide,” Felsen
said. They also are like-
ly to be trusted by
workers because advo-
cates and organizers at
these centers often
speak their language.

No more waiting — put a stop

to skin shock therapy
The pain administered at Canton
facility is not acceptable treatment
Re “Availability of better alternatives should guide decision on
skin shock therapy at Canton facility” (Editorial, May 21):
The lowest-level shocks used on vulnerable people with dis-
abilities at the Judge Rotenberg Educational Center are
roughly twice what pain researchers have said is tolerable for
most humans. People who have experienced the shock de-
scribe it as “searing” or “stabbing” pain.
While the Rotenberg Center says that shock is used only
when behaviors are dangerous, others have described it being
used for behaviors as innocuous as getting out of one’s seat or
failing to maintain a neat appearance. There are people with
significantly challenging behaviors in every state, where com-
munity-based treatment options have been chosen that are
both more effective and more humane. Furthermore, people
from only a fraction of all US states are sent to the Rotenberg
Center.
More than 100 disability advocacy organizations oppose
the use of electric shock as punishment, as does the American
Civil Liberties Union. The United Nations says it violates the
UN Convention Against Torture.
Meanwhile, each day of delay is another day of terror for
the people subjected to this cruel intervention. It is time that
the courts take action to stop the Rotenberg Center from ter-
rorizing and torturing people with disabilities.

The system has failed these families
I was appalled to read your editorial essentially endorsing the
continued use of electric skin shock at the Judge Rotenberg
Educational Center. The use of electric shock to cause pain as
a method of behavior modification is unacceptable on its face.
It is also ineffective. Once the threat of pain is removed, the
unwanted behaviors inevitably return.
Using electric shock as a punishment is inhumane. But
then, I see no evidence that the editorial board recognizes the
humanity of this treatment’s victims. While you have quoted
an attorney for the Rotenberg Center and select parents, you
provide no evidence of having spoken directly to, or even con-
sidered the experiences of, the disabled people subjected to
this treatment. You decry a lack of alternatives without dis-
playing any effort to investigate or promote them.
Nor is it a convincing argument to suggest that parents
would inevitably reject shock therapy if an alternative existed.
Parents of disabled individuals make choices for all sorts of
reasons — embarrassment, frustration, social pressure, finan-
cial pressure, and hopelessness — that have nothing to do
with the best interests of their children. The health care sys-
tem has failed these families. Torture is not the answer.

tools.
But why two zoos? There have been many afternoons
when my daughter and I decided to pop into the Stone Zoo
in Stoneham for a quick visit. Maybe it was to see the black
bears, Bubba and Smoky. Or maybe it was to see Blue, the
cougar. An hour at the zoo, to see animals hanging out in the
sun and people strolling leisurely, provided an opportunity
to unwind and not deal with the hassles of rushing around.
On weekends, we would sometimes plan to go to the
Franklin Park Zoo. Picking up nieces and nephews, we
would make the trip to Boston and get to see a whole differ-
ent set of animals in the Tropical Rain Forest and at what is
now the Gorilla Grove. We would take our time, taking in
sights and sounds. All of it was a completely different experi-
ence from the Stone Zoo.
Our two zoos allow visitors to connect with various ani-
mals in their own way, whether they bond with Little Joe,
the gorilla at Franklin Park, or Singi, the yak at the Stone
Zoo. People have their favorites at both zoos. I do too. It just
depends on the zoo and the day.

Does Boston have to be
the hub of everything?
The headline of Joan Vennochi’s column — “Does Greater
Boston really need two zoos?” — is open-ended, but the im-
plication seems clear from the piece that she leans toward
Boston.
Why does everything have to be in Boston proper? The
city’s population makes up less than 10 percent of the state
as a whole, and is bound on one side by an entire ocean that
precludes easy access. Why not argue for moving the larger
zoo to Stoneham, closer to the major beltways and reachable
by public transportation from “the hub of the universe”?

Why have any zoo?
Free the animals from their misery.
Thanks for the column about the two Greater Boston zoos.
My question is simply why have any zoo? I think in this era
of online access and real-life filming of animals in their natu-
ral habitat, we do not need to imprison wild (or tame) ani-
mals. If one cages an animal that cannot be touched or pet-

ted or left to roam freely, and who has no companion for
years on end, one consigns that creature to misery.
I say free the animals, return them to their natural
homes, close the zoos, and show real humanity in this new
age.

Online readers debate the question
The following is an edited sample of comments Boston-
Globe.com readers posted on Joan Vennochi’s column “Does
Greater Boston really need two zoos?”:
Before we debate closing one of two zoos, which provide in-
arguable benefits to the human public, especially children,
and offer great jobs for people who have a passion for ani-
mals, can we instead debate maybe closing one of the more
than 90 golf courses within 20 miles of Boston? Leave the
zoos alone. (SartresWaiter)
The golf courses are for relatively affluent human animal
adults who choose to use them, and who can afford to use
them. The zoos incarcerate nonhuman animals who have no
choice as to where they live, what they do, how they are
used, and where they are taken into captivity and under
what circumstances, and how their mates are selected, or
not, and how they live their lives. (OccasionalWriter)
Do something about crime in Boston before you put school-
children in harm’s way. People don’t feel safe going to Frank-
lin Park Zoo. (RSull)
I feel safe any time I visit Franklin Park Zoo and have no is-
sues driving from any direction of the compass to get there.
There are even night events at the zoo that folks have no
problem attending. As for me, I am a zoo member and live in
Dorchester. (mikegilbo)

A10 The Region
911 call centers are beset by staff shortages
uDISPATCHERS
Continued from Page A1
There’s an oft-cited statistic
from two industry surveys that
in recent years, particularly post-
pandemic, dispatchers have had
an annual attrition rate around
30 percent, and, because of that,
staffing levels are down by a sim-
ilar percentage. While the severi-
ty of the situation varies depart-
ment to department, it’s univer-
sally agreed that the industry
faces challenges and has to inno-
vate — even if it means normal-
izing remote work or building
more regional call centers. Oth-
erwise, workers like Wright will
continue to face forced overtime.
“Going to work, you never
feel like you’re going to go home
at the end of your scheduled
shift,” Wright said.
Last month, Wright’s union,
the Teamsters Local 25, sent a
letter to city councilors and the
mayor complaining of a “very se-
rious staffing shortage” that is
approaching the point where it
is hurting public safety.
“Forced overtime and staffing
shortages all contribute to burn-
out, absenteeism and turnover,”
the letter said.
Cambridge 911 direc tor
Christina Giacobbe said she’s op-
timistic that eight new hires — a
roughly 33 percent increase
from the current staff — will
ease the burden.
“I’m confident that by August
we’re going to start to see some
real improvement,” she said.
Giacobbe, a former dispatch-
er, conceded the current work-
ing conditions are challenging,
but said that through forced
overtime, the center is meeting
minimum staffing requirements
and is not dropping calls.
Meanwhile, in Boston staff-
ing levels are also in crisis. An-
thony Landry, a former Boston
dispatcher and the political di-
rector for the SEIU 888 union
that represents the 911 center
employees, said the city should

back to the 1940s (and one, “K,”
from 1915).
But what exactly is a vintage
nurse romance novel? It might
be more illuminating to say what
it’s not. It’s nowhere close to be-
ing woke: A typical plot involves
a young woman bagging a doc-
tor, not becoming one; and that
woman is nearly always white.
It’s no Fabio bodice ripper: Many
titles came out in the late ’50s
and early ’60s when sex was still
a taboo topic.
“It’s basically stories of young
women who have careers, which
was a kind of a new thing in the
’60s — for women to be able to
be independent and have their
own lives, their own apart-
ments,” the 56-year-old Clark
said during a recent phone inter-
view. She added that most of
these nurses are strong heroines
“who will argue with the doctor,
they’ll fight for what’s right for
their patient. They always try to
do what’s right, and sometimes
that comes at a personal or pro-
fessional cost . . . but they always
win in the end. And that’s one of

Cambridge dispatcher Mary Wright said, “Going to work, you never feel like you’re going to
go home at the end of your scheduled shift.”
‘Whatever territory lies outside of exhausted and
fatigued, that’s where they’re at.’
ANTHONY LANDRY, political director for the union that represents the workers
at the 911 center in Boston, speaking about the dispatchers and call takers
have 40 dispatchers and 65 call
takers, but instead has closer to
30 and 40, respectively. When
you dial 911 in Boston, you talk
to a call taker, who then relays
the information to a dispatcher,
who contacts the appropriate
emergency services.
“Whatever territory lies out-
side of exhausted and fatigued,
that’s where they’re at,” Landry
said.
Last year, the city released an
audit it had commissioned from
Mission Critical Partners, a firm
that focuses on 911 call centers,
the things I like about them.”
And she can’t get enough of
lines like these:
“If I’m running a fever, baby,
y o u’ v e go t o n l y y o u r s e l f t o
blame.”
“She wore a white uniform
like most women wore a
Givenchy gown.”
“He spoke in the cheerful way
that doctors always do about
other people’s pain.”
Since launching her company
in November, Clark has repub-
lished more than a dozen nurse
novels as Kindle books ($5 each,
or free under Kindle Unlimited).
She has another dozen waiting
for new covers, “So they’re going
to be coming out fast and furi-
ous,” she said.
Along with a graphic design-
er and marketing person, she
has recruited an attorney to ad-
vise on contracts with the books’
copyright holders, most often
surviving relatives of the au-
thors, who receive one quarter of
the profit.
One of those descendants is
Bob Roberts, who lives in Man-
hattan and remembers his ma-
ternal grandmother, Jeanne Jud-
son, as a self-sufficient woman
who would smoke a Chesterfield
with a glass of Seagram’s 7 every
day at noon. A former newspa-
per reporter who’d gone on to
contribute to magazines and
write serious novels, she started
“cranking out these nurse nov-
els” later in her career as a way
to support herself, Roberts said
in a phone interview.
When C lark reached out
around a year ago, “I was com-
pletely surprised,” he recalled. “I
had an entire shelf of these
nurse novels, and stewardess
novels. I kept thinking, what am
I going to do with all these? You
know, I’m not going to read
them. . . . But I don’t want to just
throw them away.” So he gave
them away: Clark picked up a
box for her collection and cur-
rently has three Judson novels in
her catalog, including “City
Nurse” from 1959.

that stated: “Staffing is a press-
ing issue and will only continue
to worsen unless concerted ef-
forts are made.”
“Unfortunately, this is typi-
cal,” report project manager
Bonnie Maney said in a recent
interview. “Staffing in the 911
centers is at crisis.”
The 423-page report faulted
the department’s working condi-
tions, which result in “excessive
mandatory overtime per per-
son,” and stated that the pan-
demic did “further exacerbate

e-books — to help put his four
sons through college. “He was a
writer for money, so in the 1930s
when short stories were being
published in pulp magazines, he
wrote a lot for those, and then as
the fashions changed, he would
change,” his son, Toby Webb, a
retired attorney in Portland,
Maine, said in a phone inter-
view.
He noted it was his mother
who wore the gray flannel suit to
commute to New York City for
her public relations job while his
father stayed in the suburbs to
take care of the boys before
school and work at home. By the
50s, Webb was writing nurse
novels under the pen name Eth-
el Hamill because “he believed
for romances, only a woman
could really understand affairs
of the heart — at least that’s
what readers expected,” Toby
Webb said. “He was doing what-
ever he thought the market re-
quired.”
The market for these paper-
backs was “middle-class, white
women,” said historian Katie
Stollenwerk, who wrote her
graduate thesis at University of
Wisconsin Milwaukee around
the school’s Nurse Romance
Novel Collection, with over 425

and further degraded low mo-

Maney said that Boston made
several changes following the re-
port that she believes could help
attract and retain workers, in-
cluding pay raises, reclassifying
call center workers as first re-
sponders for the purpose of bet-
ter retirement benefits, and
passing a three-year waiver of
the city’s residency requirement.
“This is a big ship and it’s tak-
ing some time to turn around,”
Maney said.

Special Collections. And readers
responded — for a while.
Nurse romance novels faded
in popularity in the 1970s, fol-
lowing the rise of second-wave
feminism. Today, most are out of
print, but the intrepid hunter
can find them. It was 13 years
ago while wandering through an
antique shop in rural Maine that
Clark spotted a handful of paper-
backs “with these hilarious titles

daughter, who always eggs me
on, was like, ‘Mom, you’ve got to
buy these!’ So I bought them all,
and then I started reading
them.”
At the time, Clark was transi-
tioning out of an editing career
in magazines and into medicine.
She went back to school, earning
master’s degrees in science at
Tufts University and physician
assistant studies at Massachu-
setts College of Pharmacy and
Health Sciences, and started
working as a PA in 2010. She
found a new calling, but she also
missed her old one: writing. So
she started reviewing nurse nov-
els on a blog, where she provides
author biographies, and one
thing led to another.

recent City Council meeting,
Boston Police Commissioner Mi-
chael Cox touted last year’s pay
raises for the center and said the
Police Department is working to
better improve conditions there.
“We need to attract people to
all parts of our job,” Cox said, re-
ferring to the department and
call center collectively. “I will do
all I can to continue to work with
the people of 911 ... to make sure
they have the ser vices the y
need.”
These issues also plague sub-
urban and rural parts of the
state, said Erin Hastings, head of
the Massachusetts Communica-
tions Supervisors Association,
which represents about 90 call
centers.
“Everybody’s short — every-
body’s working overtime,” said
Hastings, a longtime dispatcher
who is now a 911 center execu-
tive in the Springfield area.
Despite the issues, state offi-
cials say calls have not been
dropped.
“ Ev e n t h o u g h w e h av e a
shortage in this Commonwealth,
all 911 calls are being answered,”
said Frank Pozniak, executive di-
rector of the Massachusetts 911
Department.
He said there are always con-
tingencies in place. For example,
each call center is assigned an-
other to back it up if it’s over-
whelmed on a given day.
He said the state has been de-
ploying what it calls the 60-
member Telecommunication
Emergency Response Team,
which is meant to jump in and
help a center when staffing lev-
els become critical. The need for
that, he said, has increased over
the past few years as the attrition
rate has gone up.
Pozniak said one reason why
this industry has a hard time at-
tracting and retaining workers is
the lack of a remote-work op-
tion.
“With respect to 911, it’s a
24/7 job, and you have to be
found plenty to critique. “The
sexism is out of control,” she
said. “Women are routinely as-
saulted on their dates, and then
they’re apologizing to the man
for conking him over the head
with a rock in order to escape,
right? They’re the ‘bad guys.’”
Few nurse novels feature
non-white protagonists, and sec-
ondary characters of color, when
they appear, are often drawn as
demeaning stereotypes, Stollen-
werk notes. (In 1969, Rubie
Saunders published “Marilyn
Morgan, R.N.,” becoming one of
the first authors of color to cen-
ter a Black nurse-protagonist.)
She also points to depictions of
the paternalistic white nurse
who just wants to “help” less for-
tunate characters of color.
The novels are “useful as
tools for studying history,” Stol-
lenwerk said in an interview,
adding that many couched con-
temporary issues of the day,
from women’s rights to labor
rights to the Vietnam War, in
formulaic fantasies. “I saw them
as a way for people to talk about
things that were on women’s
minds that they weren’t neces-
sarily having conversations
about.”
Clark believes the books she
republishes, while flawed relics,
there,” Pozniak said. “In this
world, we’ve gone remote in a lot
of areas, but you can’t do it re-
motely.”
But that should be something
the state looks at “down the
road,” he said.
“I think the technology is
there,” he said, noting that some
other cities around the country
did it during the pandemic, but
that Massachusetts has a differ-
ent type of system that hasn’t
been tried yet for remote work.
Currently, the state is push-
ing regionalization, urging
smaller centers to combine in
the name of staffing and operat-
ing efficiencies.
Massachusetts currently has
211 call centers, and while
Pozniak declined to say what he
sees as an ideal number, the
hope is to get below 200 in the
coming years, down from 268 in
the late 2000s. He highlighted
the fact that 31 right now are re-
gional.
One example is the center
Hastings runs: WESTCOMM Re-
gional Dispatch, which covers
Chicopee and several surround-
ing communities. She said the
center is almost fully staffed.
“We’re doing OK,” she said,
adding that because it’s a larger
organization, the center had
flexibility during the pandemic
to shift the way it does schedul-
ing and try to stop the burden
from falling as heavily on indi-
vidual dispatchers.
She said changes like Bos-
ton’s that include reclassifying
dispatchers as first responders
for retirement purposes can help
cut down on the job’s character-
istic high turnover.
“We need to change the cul-
ture, the public awareness, the
laws that this isn’t just secretari-
al,” she said. “It’s not — it’s a ca-
reer.”

are still worth reading and dis-
cussing. A warning she includes
in the books alerts readers to “at-
titudes” that may be “disturb-
ing.” Some may decide not to
read.
Stollenwerk underscored
that sexism and racism are hard-
ly confined to the past or old ro-
mance novels. “My biggest con-
cern is that people will read
them and just be like, ‘Whoa! We
don’t think that way anymore,’
when we still have a lot of racial
and social justice issues, espe-
cially in health care, and espe-
cially in terms of economics and
employment opportunities for
women,” she said. “It’s media
that should be consumed criti-
cally.”
For those who do read them,
Clark hopes the novels give a
glimpse into another era — and
an undervalued profession. As it
happens, May is National Nurses
Month, not that she needs an-
other reason to celebrate nurses.
They are “the backbone of the
health care system,” Clark said.
“Nurses save my bacon every
day.”

Adults, kids run for cover during daylight gunfight

By John R. Ellement
GLOBE STAFF
By Kate Armanini
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT
A young girl dressed in pink and
walking alongside an adult woman
ran for her life when a gunfight sud-
denly exploded on Shawmut Avenue in
Roxbury on Wednesday evening.
A video captured by surveillance
cameras installed at a store on the 600
block of Shawmut Avenue shows the
moments before, during, and after
multiple shots were exchanged by two
people around 6:49 p.m.
Roxbury residents say violence shown on video is all too familiar
There were no reports of injuries,
according to police, but residents in-
terviewed Friday spoke of how quickly
an otherwise quiet evening in the
neighborhood suddenly turned terrify-
ing.
Reg gie White, 59, said he was
standing a short distance away from
the shooting scene Wednesday when
gunshots shattered the peaceful scene.
“The shots were really fast,” White
said. “I ducked, just to be on the safe
side, and then I ran in.”
White said he’s lived in Roxbury for
23 years.
“It happens all the time,” he said. “I
think this makes it twice in two weeks,
least from what I’ve seen.”
A woman, who didn’ t give her
name, stood outside her apartment on
Friday and glanced toward the stores,
clustered on one block, where a shoot-
er first stopped and shot toward a
group of men gathered a block away.
The woman said she heard a rapid
succession of shots from her bedroom.
“I was scared,” she said. “I didn’t
come out here the next day, I’ ll say
that.”
On the surveillance video, a person
wearing a red hooded sweatshirt and
pajama pants can be seen slowly mak-
ing their way from the intersection at
Lenox Street and Shawmut Avenue,
sometimes ducking behind a parked
vehicle or an edge of a building in an
apparent attempt to prevent anyone
from seeing them approach.
The person in the red sweatshirt
walks past a child and a man wearing
a backpack, stops in front of a liquor
store and an adjacent pizza shop, pulls
their right hand out of the sweatshirt,
and opens fire in the direction of a
group of people clustered on the side-
walk in front of Ramsay Park.
The assailant fires about five shots
in close proximity to the head of a man
who walked out of the pizza shop.
The man grabs his head, in appar-
ent pain from the discharge of the
handgun so close to him. A second
man presses his body as tightly as he

reasons why there
are variations

Massachusetts, for example, broadly
defines early intervention as a program
for children 3 or under who have or are
at risk of a developmental delay. Any
family is eligible for services if their
child is not “reaching age-appropriate
milestones,” diagnosed with certain
conditions, and has a medical history
that could put the child “at risk” of a de-
velopmental delay.
“Under the early intervention pro-
gram, states set their own eligibility cri-
teria,” said Katherine Neas, deputy as-
sistant secretary in the Office of Special
Education and Rehabilitative Services

The Jaafars also paid the owners of
dozens of convenience stores to facili-

said.
Valerie S. Carter, a lawyer for the
Jaafars, said her clients plan to appeal.
“We think the convenience stores
were the major wrongdoers and used
the Jaafars,” Carter said via e-mail.

Soccer star Briana Scurry tells UMass
grads that setbacks help forge success
By Ashley Soebroto
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT
Legendary soccer player Bri-
ana Scurry told UMass Amherst
graduates Friday that her fail-
ures were essential in creating a
successful career and life.
“One result does not define
you; what defines you is if you
get up when you’re knocked
down; what defines you is if you
still forge ahead when all is lost,”
Scurry told 9,500 graduates at
McGuirk Alumni Stadium on a
sunny morning.
Scurry, a former goalkeeper
for the US women’s national soc-
cer team and two-time Olympic
gold medalist, is known for be-
ing a trailblazer for African
American women in sports. But
she recalled that her success was
“not a straight line.” She spoke of
not getting to play in the 2000
Olympic Games when she was
demoted, and of the difficulty re-
covering from the 2010 concus-
sion that ended her playing ca-
reer.
“If you keep having spirit, if
you keep having ambition, if you
keep resilient and anticipating
that what you want will come to
you ... you will be a champion,”
said Scurry, a UMass Amherst
alumna.
Scurry now travels around
the country speaking about lead-
ership, diversity, equity, and in-
clusion, and overcoming obsta-
cles.
With smiles and cheers,
about 7,500 undergraduates and
2,000 master’s and doctoral stu-
dents celebrated the day.
In addition to Scurry, other
honorary degree recipients in-
cluded Cheryll Toney Holley, a
leader of the Hassanamisco Nip-
muc Band of Massachusetts; so-
cial justice advocate Esther Ter-
ry; and William Cummings and
Joyce Cummings, husband and
wife entrepreneurs and philan-
thropists.

Wu OK’s
map for
council
districts
Meets deadline
for elections
By Emma Platoff
GLOBE STAFF

Mayor Michelle Wu on Friday

signed off on a new map for Bos-
ton City Council districts, meet-
ing a crucial deadline for avoid-
ing delays to this fall’s elections.
Wu did not make a statement
on the new boundaries, but ear-
lier this week praised the council
for its “intensive work to reach
consensus on a tight timeline.”
After a rushed, bitter process,
the council voted 10–2 on
Wednesday to approve the map,
with supporters calling the new
boundaries a compromise. The
body had been on a tight time-
line to redraw the boundaries of
the nine council districts after a
federal judge earlier this month
blocked a previous map from go-
ing into effect, finding that the
body had likely considered race
in an improper manner when it
drew the lines last fall.
Assuming the maps with-
stand any further legal scrutiny,
the new district boundaries will
be in effect for the next decade,
starting with this fall’s munici-
pal elections.
Wu’s signature likely puts an
end to what had been a conten-
tious and chaotic process, which

left some City Council candi-
dates unsure of the boundaries
of the districts they were seeking
to represent — and, in some cas-
es, unsure even of which district
they would ultimately live in
when the map was finalized.
Responding to population
surges and shifts over the last
decade, the new map shifts vot-
ers among Boston’s nine council
districts. Some districts where
the population stayed relatively
steady are largely unchanged.
The largest changes were made
as a result of population surges
in the Seaport, which left South
Boston-based District Two over-
populated relative to other dis-
tricts.
The new map, which was
drafted by Councilor At-Large
Ruthzee Louijeune with feed-
back from a number of other
councilors, roughly equalizes
the population among districts,
while seeking to unite communi-
ties with shared needs and inter-
ests.
Notably, the new map re-
turns to Dorchester-based Dis-
trict Three a number of majori-
ty-white precincts at the south-
ern tip of the neighborhood, a
particularly contentious area
that had been shifted into neigh-
boring District Four under the
blocked map.
The border between Districts
Three and Four — and the moti-
vation for where it was drawn —
was a matter of particular scruti-
ny in the federal litigation. The
border between Districts Four

proved a major point of conten-
tion during the latest round of
council debates.
The councilors also united
Little Saigon by moving two pre-
cincts into District Three, and
kept together Chinatown and
some affordable housing devel-
opments in the South End —
both features advocates and resi-
dents had sought in public testi-
mony.

It is also the workplace of
Ron Cormier, the longtime
grounds supervisor of this spec-
tacular landscape, who has built
a solid reputation as a man who
understands the rigorous work
ethic needed to make this final
resting place worthy of the peo-
ple interred here.
“He’s here early in the morn-
ing and many late evenings and
weekends as needed,” said Rich-
ard Bastien, the cemetery direc-
tor. “Ron has the attention to de-
tail that is needed at a facility
like this: Working with the staff.

every one of those headstones is

Not easy to do. But some-
thing Cormier has accomplished
since he was hired as a ground-
skeeper in the spring of 2001.
Cormier, 49, is the oldest of
three children born to factory
workers who built airplane parts
at United Technologies in Wind-
sor Locks, Conn.
After his graduation from
South Hadley High School in
1992, he went to trade school
with the intention of becoming
an auto technician, something
he did until he saw an opening at
the Massachusetts Veterans Me-
morial Cemetery in Agawam.
After one false start, he was
hired as a groundskeeper.
And, with that, a career was
launched.
“I started a week before the
first burial,’’ he told me. “The
very first burial in Agawam.’’
That career is now beginning
its 23rd year. That’s a long time
meeting the unusual standards
required at a place such as this.
“This isn’t a town cemetery
or a church cemetery,’’ said
Cormier, who transferred to

Three sickened with salmonella suing restaurant chain

State says
dozens of cases
are confirmed

GLOBE STAFF
Three people recently strick-

a t L o s A m i g o s Ta q u e r i a i n
Brighton have filed lawsuits
against the local chain, accord-
ing to legal filings.
Attorneys for the trio filed
the suits this week in Suffolk
Superior Court, and each plain-
tiff is seeking more than
$50,000 in damages, court pa-
pers show.
The named defendant is
Brighton Amigos Inc., doing
business as Los Amigos Taque-
ria, which has locations in
B r i g h t o n , We s t R o x b u r y,
Somerville, Newton, and
Brookline, according to its web-
site.
Nataniel Ustayev, a Newton
resident identified in state re-
cords as the company presi-
dent, couldn’t immediately be
reached for comment. No attor-
ney was listed for the company
in legal filings.
Ann Scales, a spokesperson
for the state Department of
Public Health, said via e-mail
that nearly four dozen salmo-
n e l l a c a s e s h av e b e e n c o n -
firmed as part of the outbreak.
“We are currently at 45 lab-
confirmed Salmonella cases
who reported dining at Los
Amigos Taqueria in Brighton
prior to illness; most — 29 —
are Boston residents,” Scales
said. “DPH continues to receive
reports of additional lab-con-
firmed and undiagnosed ill-
nesses associated with the res-
taurant.”
The plaintiffs filed three
nearly identical 10-page civil
complaints indicating they fell
ill after eating at the Brighton
location between May 12 and
19.
On May 18, the complaints
said, public health officials held
a meeting with ownership to
conduct onsite inspections and
speak to the company about
“the outbreak linked to food
served by the company. . . .”
“The restaurant chain’s per-
mits have been temporarily sus-
pended and its Brighton and
West Roxbury stores have been
closed pending the investiga-
tion.”
Lisa Timberlake, spokesper-
son for Boston Inspectional
Services Department, said the
suspensions for the Brighton
and West Roxbury locations
will remain in effect until “the
conditions . . . are corrected
and confirmed by the Health
Division.”
Timberlake said both loca-
tions remained closed as of
Monday.
A number listed for both lo-
cations wasn’t accepting voice-
mail messages as of Thursday
morning.
Jory Lange, a lawyer for the
three plaintiffs who have filed
suit, said in a phone interview
Thursday that his office has re-
ceived some 80 calls since Sun-
day from people who ate at the
Brighton location. Lange said
he believes his firm will end up
representing “at least 60 people
in this.”
“There are multiple reports
of a foodborne illness from
items consumed at this loca-
tion,” said an inspection report
for the Brighton facility. “Estab-
lishment was issued a TSOP

The West Roxbury inspec-
tion report made no explicit
mention of a foodborne illness-
es but did note several sanitary
issues including multiple “ro-

cans, bag of pinto beans, bever-
age single use holders, on stor-
age tables [and] floor. Provide a
detailed pest control report.
Remove foods contaminated by
droppings. Clean and sanitize
surfaces after cleaning of ro-
dent droppings in all basement
areas.”
The report also said there
was no “verifiable evidence of
illness policy training” at the
West Roxbury location. “Pro-
vide an additional Certified
Food Protection Manager for

ordered.

City of Boston awards grants to immigration legal aid groups

fiscal year, and more than 40
percent lacked legal represen-
tation.
“When people don’t have ac-
cess to qualified and competent
legal services, they often fall
prey to scams,” Monique Tú
Nguyen, executive director of
the office, said in the statement.
Some recipients said they
are ready to put the grant fund-
ing to good use.
The Mabel Center for Immi-
grant Justice, a Boston-based
nonprofit that provides pro
bono legal services for asylum-
seeking families that have been
separated or detained, received
a $70,000 grant, said spokes-
person Erin Truex.
“A hundred percent of our
clients are under the poverty
threshold,” Truex said. “It’s real-
ly important to us to be able to
provide these services free of
charge.”
The center, which serves
around 350 clients per year,
may be able to serve around
400 clients this year, Truex said.
The funding will go toward at-
torney and paralegal salaries,
office space, and assisting with
court filings, Truex said.
Mutual Aid Eastie, an East
Boston-based community orga-
nization, received a $30,000
grant, said Neenah Estrella-Lu-
na, a cofounder of the organiza-
tion.
The funding will go toward
training community members
who are preparing to help un-
documented residents obtain
driver’s licenses, Estrella-Luna
said, which is permitted under
‘When people don’t have access to
qualified and competent legal services,
they often fall prey to scams.’
MONIQUE TÚ NGUYEN, executive director of the mayor of
Boston’s Office for Immigrant Advancement
a state law starting in July.
“There’s a lot of paperwork
that’s required. . . . We are also
helping people with translating
those documents, so things like
birth certificates, other identity
documents,” Estrella-Luna said.
“Later on in the process, we are
going to also be helping people
prepare for the (driver’s) test.”
Estrella-Luna said helping
undocumented residents get
driver’s licenses is a form of
protecting them.
“One of the ways in which a
lot of immigrants, particularly
undocumented or under-docu-
mented immigrants, become
unsafe from a legal perspective,
is that the y may be driving
without a driver’s license,” Es-
trella-Luna said. “Normally ...
to get all the documentation
that you need and that kind of
stuff, it can be expensive.”
The Immigrant Family Ser-
vices Institute will use its grant
money to enhance its services,
such as applying for work per-
mits or food stamps, said Val-
court Honore, a board member
and consultant.
Honore said the Mattapan-
based organization applied for
the grant because there had
previously not been much fund-
ing to help Haitian immigrants.
Greater Boston is home to one
of the largest Haitian diaspora
populations in the country, and
families have been arriving in
greater numbers ever since a
devastating earthquake in Au-
gust 2021 sent Haiti into tur-
moil.
“The organization has most-
ly been receiving in-kind dona-
tions,” Honore said. “But given
that there is a provision with
the city now . . . it’s a bigger
chunk.”

can to the front of the
building to avoid the gunfire.
Suddenly, a second person,
this one wearing a brown hood-
ie, emerges onto Shawmut Ave-
nue and begins firing at the
man in the red sweatshirt —
heedless of the girl and the
adult, other pedestrians on
Shawmut Avenue, and people
sitting in their parked cars on
the street.
In the video, the person in
the red sweatshirt can be seen
running toward Lenox Street,
and, without looking where
they were shooting, firing over
his shoulder toward the person
in the brown sweatshirt, who
fires again.
The person in the brown
sweatshirt runs toward Ham-
mond Street.
The child and the woman
run behind a double-parked
car, open the rear passenger
door, climb in, and are driven
away, the video shows.
According to a Boston police
report on the incident, two cars
and the air conditioner of a pri-
vate home were hit by bullets.
No one inside that residence at
the time was struck by gunfire.
Through May 21, there have
been 41 shooting incidents in
the city, down slightly from 43
over the same period last year,
according to Boston police sta-
tistics.
The total number of victims
of the gun violence was 52,
down from 55 last year, accord-
ing to police.
There have been 17 homi-
cides in Boston this year
through May 21, compared
with 13 murders at the same
time last year. Police said that
13 of this year’s victims died
from gunshot wounds. T he
number of gun arrests this year
has declined to 185, compared
with 223 at the same time last
year, records show.
No arrests have been made
in connection with the Wednes-
day gunfire.

only gave his first name, Steve,

said he was mowing the lawn of
Shawmut Community Church
of God, where he works as the
STILL FROM VIDEO COURTESY OF SOPHEA POCH
groundskeeper.
Suddenly, the shots rang
out. Before he had the chance
to react, the shooter sprinted
past him before darting down
another road.
“I didn’t run inside, I just
stopped what I was doing ,”
Steve, 69, said. “But then he
was running fast.”
Steve said he’s lived in Rox-
bury since he was 5 years old,
and knows most people in his
neighborhood. He’s worked at
the church for two decades.
“It does happen a lot, but it
doesn’t bother me because I ex-
pect it,” Steve said.
Joe Bell, 72, carried a bag of
groceries as he walked out of a
convenience store on Friday. He
said violence is all too frequent
in the area.
“It’s jeopardizing everything
and everybody out here,” he
said.
“There are families.”

The report also highlighted
inequities in access different ra-
cial groups have to early inter-
vention and early childhood spe-
cial education for children prior
to entering kindergarten.
Black, Latino, and Asian chil-
dren nationwide were found less
likely to receive both early inter-
ventions and early childhood
special education services than
their white peers: 5.4 percent of
white children received early
childhood special education ser-
vices compared with 5.2 percent
of Latino children, 4.6 percent of
Black children, and 3.9 percent
of Asian children.
Additionally, the repor t
found that thousands of young
children with developmental de-
lays nationwide went without
services within the first year of
the pandemic. Between fall of
2019 and fall of 2020, the num-
ber of children under 3 that re-
ceived early intervention
dropped by 63,000. Meanwhile,
77,000 fewer 3- and -4-year-olds
received early childhood special
education.
The report authors suggested
that the federal government con-
vene a national commission to
address the inequities in access
to early support, and recom-
mended an increase in federal
funding for early childhood spe-
cial education services “to equal- versity, said in a statement. ‘Access to [early

the back of the house. Thursday’s
opening night, with Ji Young Chae as
Aurora and Jeffrey Cirio as Désiré,
suggested that every four years is
scarcely often enough.
Unlike Tchaikovsky’s “Swan Lake”
score, which begins with a wistful
oboe solo, “Sleeping Beauty” opens
with a dramatic outburst. It’s royal,
heroic, music fit for a prince to win
the woman of his dreams. Only when
Carabosse arrives in the prologue do
we realize that this music is actually
her theme. Carabosse’s name was —
accidentally, we’re given to under-
stand — left off the guest list for Au-
rora’s christening. When she shows
up anyway, in a hail of thunder and
lightning, dressed in black and with
an entourage of grotesque creatures,
we understand what motivated the
oversight. But what makes Carabosse
bad? Her christening gift — yes, she
brought one — to Aurora is a spindle,
an emblem of honest work. (It flum-
moxes Aurora’s royal parents, who
don’t appear to have ever seen one.)
Perhaps that’s Carabosse’s way of say-
ing that life shouldn’t be all roses and
no thorns. Tchaikovsky, to judge by
the music he gives her, seems to sym-
pathize.
Carabosse can be played by a
woman or a man; Boston Ballet has
offered both options in the past and
will do so again in this production.
On Thursday, Chyrstyn Fentroy set
the bar high as a queen of stormy
night with a sense of humor. One mo-
ment she was making fun of Aurora’s
parents (Patrick Yocum and Eliza-

ing a tantrum at the (in her view)
goody-two-shoes fairies. It took the
intervention of Viktorina Kapitono-
va’s Lilac Fairy to bring Carabosse up
short. Radiant and serene, taking
command with the ballet basics of
posture and carriage, Kapitonova
was a Lilac Fairy who triumphs
through the quality of her dancing.

The rest of the evening belonged
to Chae and Cirio. Chae looked de-
lighted with everything at her 16th-
birthday party; she flirted with her
prince suitors, and in the Rose Ada-
Fairy introduces Désiré to Aurora,
that much better.

Nina Matiashvili and Henry Griffin
as Red Riding Hood and the Wolf.
Derek Dunn’s Bluebird, with its
smudged double tours and modest
brisés volés, wasn’t quite in breeding
plumage, but he and Chisako Oga’s
chirpy Florine still made an attractive
courting pair. Then Chae and Cirio
surpassed themselves in the Grand
Pas de Deux. Cirio’s variation includ-
ed high-flying cabrioles, pristine dou-
ble tours, and a manège that popped;
in the finale he added tours à la sec-
onde with his arms over his head.
Chae toyed with her variation, point-
ing the music and making every tech-
nical challenge look like child’s play.
Together they were so in tune that in
the last of a series of fish dives Chae
was able to turn her head and look at
the audience.
“Sleeping Beauty” is not a short
ballet. Thursday’s performance, even
with quickish tempos from music di-
rector Mischa Santora and the Bos-
ton Ballet Orchestra, ran close to
three hours. But three hours with
this company’s production will al-
ways be time well spent.

Flowers and MUSEUMS

Opera event to Peabody Essex Museum

bring arias and
show tunes to
Coolidge Corner
By Abigail Lee
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT
If you’re in Coolidge Corner Saturday af-
ternoon, you might hear the operatic long-
ing of “O mio babbino caro” or the friendly
warmth of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”
Opera on Tap Boston, an organization
focused on improving accessibility to the
art form, and Brookline shoe store Simons
Shoes are partnering to present Flowers
and Opera. The live performance event —
which was rescheduled for this Saturday
due to rain — will take place in an alley be-
tween Simons Shoes and Paris Creperie
from 4 to 5 p.m. The outdoor affair will fea-
ture a mix of classical arias, show tunes,
and popular hits performed by sopranos
Kathryn McKellar and Erin Anderson, ac-
companied on piano by Sally Naredla.
“If [people] happen to be walking by or
they can’t stay for the whole thing, they’ll
get a nice taste of everything,” Anderson, a
choir member at First Church in Boston,
said.
That can mean anything from Verdi’s
“Sul fil d’un soffio etesio” to Rodgers and
Hammerstein’s “A Cockeyed Optimist” to
the Édith Piaf ballad “La Vie en Rose.” Op-
era on Tap Boston, a local chapter of an in-
ternational network started in 2005, has
performed in nontraditional venues like
the Burren, an Irish pub in Somerville.
When it takes performances to unexpected
spaces, people are “floored,” Matthew Ker-
stein, the next generation owner of Simons
Shoes, said.
The outdoor performance will be “a bit
of a pop-up for people walking down the
street,” Kerstein said.
To celebrate spring and local business,
Simons Shoes will provide free bouquets —
arranged from flowers purchased at Al-
bert’s of Brookline Florist — for attendees

year’s event will take place Saturday from 4-5 p.m.

to take home after the performance. Addi-
tionally, attendees are encouraged to bring
canned goods and non-perishable items
for Simons Shoes’ donation drive support-
ing Brookline Food Pantry. In the hour
leading up to the performances and the
hour afterward, Simons Shoes will have
DJ’ed music.
Seating will be limited, so attendees
may also bring their own.
This month’s Flowers and Opera event
is not the first time opera has filled
Brookline streets. Opera on Tap Boston
performed several socially-distanced itera-
tions of Flowers and Opera between 2020
and 2021, but couldn’t hold an event in
2022 due to construction.
ISAIAH SAUNDERS
Kerstein said he hopes live music in the
Coolidge Corner area will help it become as
culturally lively as the North End or Har-
vard Square. “I was interested as a local
business owner in creating more of that
kind of environment,” Kerstein said.
McKellar, who’s the executive and artis-
tic director of Opera on Tap Boston, said
the organization creates the performances’
programming by considering well-known
arias that the average person can recognize,
in addition to contemporary pieces.
“We want opera to feel like it’s a safe
space for everyone, that everybody belongs
in this art form,” McKellar said.
Pop-up events allow for an element of
surprise: “The cool thing about Opera on
Tap events is you never know who’s go-
ing to show up, but generally no matter
who shows up, the reactions are not only
positive but like shock[ed] in how much
they have enjoyed themselves,” Anderson
said.

looking to hire TikTok
creator-in-residence
By Maddie Browning
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT
Is your social media account
a work of art?
This week, the Peabody Essex
Museum (PEM) in Salem an-
nounced that it is hiring a Tik-
Tok creator-in-residence for this
summer. Anyone can apply for
the paid, 20-hour/week position,
though the museum stated it
would give preference to New
England-based art students and
recent graduates. The creator-in-
residence, a temporary, one-
time summer role, will be tasked
with engaging viewers through
short-form TikTok videos cover-
ing collections, history, and
events, while featuring staff, vis-
itors, and visiting artists. Ac-
cording to the PEM, it is the
first-ever TikTok creator posi-
tion at an art museum in the
country.
“This program offers a singu-
lar opportunity for art school
students to combine their love of
art and culture with a valuable
experience in content creation
and brand building,” said Chief
PEABODY ESSEX MUSEUM
Operating Officer Dr. Kurt Stein-
berg in a press release.
The museum launched its of-
ficial TikTok account (@pea-
bodyessex) in April 2022, so far
accruing 536 followers at the
time of reporting. Current con-
tent includes highlights of the
galleries and programming and
participation in popular trends
like imagining a day at the mu-
seum under the aesthetic direc-
tion of Wes Anderson.
In the application, aspiring
creators must include a TikTok
portfolio along with a resume
and cover letter; submissions
will be reviewed on a rolling ba-
sis. The museum hopes to find
its creator-in-residence, who will
report to the marketing depart-
ment, by early June. The role
will run through the summer;
however, PEM said it may renew
the position in the future. Those
interested can apply at pem.org/
employment.

PHOENIX — John Farrell announced on
Aug. 14, 2015, that he was being treated for
cancer and stepped down as manager of the
Red Sox for the remainder of the season.
Four days later, the team named Dave
Dombrowski as president of baseball opera-
tions during the middle of a night game at
Fenway Park, which led to general manager
Ben Cherington immediately resigning.
The Sox were an organization in chaos.
But it was then, when it was most needed,
that Torey Lovullo stood tallest.
Now the manager of the resurgent Arizona
Diamondbacks, Lovullo was bench coach of
the Sox at the time and took over for Farrell
as manager.
He guided a last-place team to a 28-20 re-
cord over the remainder of the season, deftly
using a roster with veterans David Ortiz and
Dustin Pedroia along with 22-year-old Mook-
ie Betts, Jackie Bradley Jr., and other young
players.
As Farrell received treatments only a few
miles away at Mass General, Lovullo made it
clear he was still the bench coach. He did not

NBA PLAYOFFS CELTICS VS. HEAT

Mazzulla: Comeback is only choice we have

By Khari Thompson
BOSTON.COM STAFF
Since his playoff debut last month,
coach Joe Mazzulla has faced four
elimination games and the Celtics
have won them all.
There’s a common thread in the
victories. When the season is on the
line the Celtics have found a way to
crank up the defensive intensity.
They’ve held their opponents to less
than 100 points in all four elimina-
tion games.
“We have to keep our defensive
presence, our defensive connectivity
and our defensive execution,” Mazzul-
la said via conference call on Friday.
“When we do those things, that’s
when we’re at our best.”
The Celtics’ defense put a choke-
hold on Miami from the opening tip
in Game 5 on Thursday night. Boston
forced Miami to commit 16 turn-
overs, and benefited from good de-
fense and hustle, which led to good
looks on the offensive end.
For example, there was a play
when Heat center Bam Adebayo
caught the ball in the paint. He had trailing in the series, 3-0. Mazzulla

Thursday night, for the sec-
ond straight time after losing the
first three games of the Eastern
Conference finals, the Celtics
were the best version of them-
selves.
They survived their fourth
elimination game of the postsea-
son and second of this suddenly
verrrry interesting series with a
suspense-free 110-97 win in
Game 5.
As you may have heard, there
have been 150 occasions in NBA
history in which a team lost the
first three games of a playoff se-
ries. You also may have heard
that there have been exactly zero
times when a team rallied to win

“I mean, it couldn’t get worse
than being down 3-0, but we
didn’t look around, we didn’t go
in separate directions. We stayed
together. We doubled down on
what we’re good at on defense,
and now I think it’s a series.”
Jayson Tatum, who played a
well-rounded, disciplined game
in finishing with 21 points, 11
assists, and 8 rebounds, echoed
JAYSON TATUM
Part of a determined effort
cluded in his observation last
year’s team, which lost to the
Warriors in six games in the
NBA Finals, because Thursday
night it was almost as if the Celt-
ics had melded their identities
from last season (all good things
start with ferocious defense) and
this one (get open looks from 3-
point territory and let ’em fly).
The contributions came from
just about everyone. Brian Sca-
labrine put it perfectly at half-
of 6 3-point attempts — includ-
ing back-to-back corner threes
early in the first quarter — and
set and maintained the defen-
sive tone, finishing with five
steals, including one from Bam
Adebayo on the first play of the
game.
“Smart was just a beast to-
night,’’ said Brown.
Come Saturday night in Mi-
ami, Smart and Tatum . . . and
Brown and White . . . and Hor-
ford and Robert Williams . . .
and every other Celtic who sees
meaningful minutes in their
third straight elimination game,
must play with the same deter-
mination, unity, and poise as
they did in front of a spectacular
Garden crowd Thursday.
“I know I’m going to look to
my left and my right when all
hope seems to be lost, when the
game is on the line, our backs
are against the wall, that every-

This long-distance call cause something hasn’t been

ble. It just means that the right
Brown’s sentiments on the deter-
mination to stick together even
when they appear to be going

feel like everyone is doing their
job and they’re being a star in

ing and give everything they
have,” said Tatum.

answered by White circumstances, the right players,

uWHITE
Continued from Page C1
White led all scorers with 24
points in the Celtics’ 110-97
blowout win over Miami in
Game 5 of the Eastern Confer-
ence finals that staved off elimi-
nation once more.
The Celtics never trailed, set-
ting the tone with a 20-5 run to
open the game. Each time the
Heat looked as though they
could cut the deficit to single
digits, White seemed to be the
one knocking down a critical
basket to maintain the cushion.
“Big-time player,” Brown
said. “Big-time shots.”
White, acquired at the trade
deadline in Februar y 2022,
struggled off the bench in the
postseason last year. He shot just
36.4 percent from the field and
31.3 percent from behind the
arc. He disappeared in Games 5
and 6 of the Finals, making just
1 of his 10 field goal attempts as
Golden State won the champion-
ship over the Celtics.
This postseason, however,
began with a bang when White
earned “MVP” chants after back-
to-back games with 20-plus
points in the first round against
Atlanta. The conference semifi-
nals proved to be a bigger chal-
lenge, as he couldn’t consistently
establish a groove on either end
of the floor against Philadelphia.
But the Celtics, as they pre-
pare for Saturday night’s Game 6
in Miami, can’t afford for White
to fade.
In the past two games, as
they have clawed their way back,
White has made 60 percent of
his 3-point attempts. His shot-
making is critical to the team’s
spacing and offensive success.
With so much defensive atten-
tion dedicated to Brown and
Jayson Tatum, White needs to
take advantage of his open
looks, both from range and at
the rim.
“That just gives us a well-bal-
anced attack to where we could
spread the floor and share the
ball and just play connected bas-
ketball,” coach Joe Mazzulla
said.
Added Tatum, “You’re going
to need big games from different
guys at different points of a se-
ries. That’s why it’s a team sport.
You need everybody at some
point to come up big.”
Thursday night’s box score
was an anomaly. Tatum and
Brown will lead the Celtics in
scoring most nights. But main-
taining White’s production will
be crucial to the Celtics, especial-
ly now that Malcolm Brogdon is
managing a right forearm injury.
White, not one to seek the
spotlight, has preached the im-
portance of doing whatever is
best for the team. Whether he’s
starting or coming off the bench
does not matter to him.
While he may downplay his
individual contributions,
White’s teammates, coaches,
and others close to him recog-
nize how essential they are to
the Celtics’ title aspirations.
“If you look through history,
most championship teams have
a guy like Derrick,” Marcus Ma-
son, White’s personal trainer,
told the Globe this month. “If
you go back to the ’80s Celtics,
they have many of those guys.
“Obviously, they have Larry
Bird and Kevin McHale and
Robert Parish, but then people
talk about Dennis Johnson, the
role Danny Ainge played, and all
these different guys. If you go to
any franchise, they’re going to
have that guy.”
White’s father Richard sees
his son’s role the same way.
“I always looked at it as if
Derrick can be the third-, fourth-
best player on a team, your team
is going to be pretty good,” he
said, “because I know what he’s
going to do, and that means you
have three people who are con-
sistently doing better than him,
then you’re good. You have
something.”
The Celtics took a big swing
when they traded for White. At
the time, the hope was that he
could be a piece to push them
over the edge in their quest for
banner No. 18. Now, even down
in the conference finals, that still
holds true.

and right attitude haven’t per-
fectly conspired yet.
The Celtics are a better team
than the Heat. By all serious ac-
counts, they remain a unified
one.
Of course it is annoying that
they often must teeter on the
edge before they play with the
necessary focus and poise. But
you know it, I know it, the Heat
definitely know it, and the Celt-
ics do too. If they continue to
play the way they did Thursday
night, they can chart their own
distinct place in NBA lore.
“Obviously, we didn’t imag-
ine being in this position, being
down 3-0, but when adversity
hits, you get to see what a team
is really made of,” said Jaylen
Brown, who scored 21 points in
Game 5.
Celtics behind, but it’s Miami feeling the heat
uSULLIVAN
Continued from Page A1
For all the anticipatory joy at
the prospect of being the first
NBA team after 150 previous
tries to win a playoff series from
an 0-3 hole, there is the anticipa-
tory dread on the other side of
being the first team after 150
tries to lose a series after leading
by a 3-0 count. That fear of stun-
ning failure grows with each
passing hour before game time,
no matter how much the Heat
want to believe it doesn’t.
More than once Thursday,
the Heat had to face questions
about their waning confidence,
as if they are the underdogs now,
despite being one win away from
the Finals.
“The last two games are not
who we are,” Butler insisted. “It
just happened to be that way. We
stopped playing defense halfway
because we didn’t make shots we
want to make. That’s easily cor-
rectable. We’ve got to come out
and play harder from the jump.”
One more slow start and the
Heat might tighten up beyond

Thursday’s game on a 20-5 run.
For the Heat, there has to be
some creeping dread that the
team they embarrassed only a
few nights ago in Game 3 has
haywire on the court.
“Even last year, we always
seemed to make it a little bit
their role.” That remained the
story throughout the entire
game.
“That’s contagious because

rant belief — we do believe at all

had a great teacher in John. I
watched him every single day
and I felt like I was ready to
manage and hoped somebody
would give me an opportunity.”
Dombrowski fired Farrell af-
ter the 2017 season.
Alex Cora led the Red Sox to
the 2018 World Series title and
he remains manager today, al-
beit having missed the 2020
season while suspended.
But it very easily could have
gone another way.
Chris Sale was looking to earn a third May win to go with a no-decision when he took the ball for the Red Sox to start a three-game series against the Diamondbacks in Phoenix.
Sale resourceful, Sox find groove in rout of Diamondbacks

off with a single and scored on a
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. triple that
made it a 5-1 game. But Sale
quickly struck back, getting
Christian Walker to pop up to
first, striking out Evan Longoria
looking on a wicked slider, and
getting dazzling rookie Corbin
Carroll to ground out to second.
He t h e n r e t u r n e d t o t h e
mound for a scoreless fifth,
working around a walk that re-
sulted from a full-count pitch-
clock violation, at which point
the Sox deemed his effort suffi-
cient. Sale was far from the same
dominant pitcher he’d been in
three prior starts in May, often
working in the low-90s with his
fastball and eliciting just a sprin-
kling of swings and misses, but
he proved resourceful when
threatened.
Whenever the Diamond-
backs put a runner in scoring po-
sition, Sale conjured four-seam-
ers, sinkers, changeups, and slid-
ers to precise locations. The mix
allowed the lefthander to limit
the Diamondbacks to a run on
four hits and a walk, striking out
three. In his last five starts, Sale
has a 2.23 ERA with 37 strike-
outs and just four walks in 32‚
innings, re-establishing himself
as a steadying force atop the ro-
tation.
. . .
Roughly five weeks after he
landed on the injured list, Gar-
rett Whitlock will return to the
Red Sox rotation on Saturday
against the Diamondbacks. As
frustrated as he was to land on
the injured list with ulnar neuri-
tis in his right forearm, the
pitcher recognizes that the stint
was necessary.
“I think we definitely got in
front of something before it got
Had Farrell moved into a
front-office position with the
Sox or another team after the
’15 or ’16 seasons, L ovullo
would have been a perfect fit as
manager.
The relationships he built
with players such as Betts, Xan-
der Bogaerts, and Andrew Ben-
intendi were such that maybe
the group would have stayed to-
gether.
To this day, those players
speak of their respect for Lovul-
lo.
Managing a team like the
Red Sox is one of the most de-
worse. I wasn’t thrilled that I
had to take time away, but it’s
probably best in the long run,”
said Whitlock. “Now I’m back
and I’m just trying to stay with
the team for the rest of the year.”
Whitlock had struggled in
three starts this season, going
1-2 with a 6.19 ERA. He strug-
gled not just with results but al-
so to capture the pitch mix that
can allow him to thrive — specif-
ically, his changeup.
Whitlock’s changeup was one
of the most effective in baseball
in 2021 and 2022. He held hit-
ters to a .144 average and .240
slugging mark thanks to its an-
vil-like drop.
But that trait diminished, go-
ing from 35 inches in 2021-22 to
just 30 this season. With that,
Whitlock missed his target, re-
sulting in more pitches in the
heart of the zone and fewer
swings and misses. Before land-
ing on the injured list, Whitlock
had allowed a .400 average and
.850 slugging percentage on
changeups while allowing five
extra-base hits on the pitch, one
more than he gave up in all of
2022.
“It was too hard and it wasn’t
getting the depth that it normal-
ly got,” said Whitlock. “It wasn’t
getting as low as I wanted.
“I was starting it where I
wanted, but it wouldn’ t get
down in the depth of it. And so
those balls have gotten hit hard-
er. So I’m just making sure I’ve
got the depth on it, and also the
speed differential that makes my
fastball play up more.”
The injury may have impact-
ed that signature offering. Whit-
lock said when he felt the dis-
comfort, it was in the area of his
forearm that he pronates while
finishing the changeup.
“That is where the pain was

manding and complicated jobs
in sports.
There are high expectations,
capricious owners to placate,
twice-daily media obligations,
community responsibilities and
a clubhouse of highly paid play-
ers looking to you for leader-
ship.
It’s a job that wore Terry
Francona out and drove Farrell
out of baseball.
“It’s one of those places that
you may think you know what
it’s like but you really don’t un-
less you’re there,” Lovullo said.

coming from,” said Whitlock.
“It’s possible my body was not
wanting me to get fully there.”
But since he resumed throw-
ing, Whitlock has been pain-
free, allowing him to work on re-
gaining his feel for the pitch. He
heavily emphasized his change-
up in two rehab starts for Triple
A Worcester last week, with
promising results. According to
Statcast data, he averaged 36
and 38 inches of vertical move-
ment on the pitch in his two
WooSox outings.
“I’m still working on it, but
I’m happier with where it is than
it was [before the injured list],”
said Whitlock.

this is his seventh season with
Arizona.
“I learned a lot about chem-
istry with the team we had in
’13,” Lovullo said.
“I learned a lot with the
tough times we went through
and bottomed out. You have to
challenge yourself during those
times.
“We went to great highs to
great lows.”

Outfielder Adam Duvall, out
since April 10 with a distal radi-
us fracture in his left wrist, will
start a rehab assignment Tues-
day with the WooSox. He will be
the designated hitter for a game
before playing in the outfield.
Duvall is eligible to return
from the 60-day injured list on
June 9.
“Little by little, we keep add-
ing,” said Sox manager Alex Co-
ra. “That’s good news.”
Though Duvall had stood in
at first base, a position he played
early in his big league career, to
take throws while working out at
Fenway Park recently, Cora said
having him play first base this
year was “not even a thought.”

portunity,” he said. “I was there
for John. I promised him the
team would be waiting for him
when he returned. It was time
for me to move to another
place.”
Arizona has had its own
peaks and valleys, but they’re in
second place in the National
League West with some inter-
esting young players in the line-
up and a rotation headlined by
Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly.
Lovullo survived a 110-loss
season in 2021 and the payoff
has come this year.

“In my second at-bat I swung

Cora said both players are
likely to need a few more games
in the minors next week before
they’re ready to be activated.
As for Trevor Story, he contin-
ues to add to his baseball activi-
ties in Fort Myers. While his
throwing progression is the
most deliberate element of his
return from right elbow surgery,
the team remains “100 percent”
focused on bringing him back as
a shortstop, said Cora.

GARETH PATTERSON/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Knights goalie Adin Hill had his five-game winning streak
snapped as the Stars celebrated a Game 4 victory Thursday.
At 38, Pavelski is still
shining for the Stars
By Stephen Hawkins
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — Joe Pavelski ac-
knowledges he probably appre-
ciates the big playoff goals more
the later he gets in his career.
But they all still feel just as good,
and his latest kept the season
alive for the Stars.
“Just really living in the mo-
ment,” Pavelski said. “A tremen-
dous feeling for sure, and glad
we could play another game,
and go from there and try to ex-
tend it.”
Pavelski, 38, scored on a pow-
er play at 3:18 of overtime — a
one-timer from the middle of the
left circle to the far post — and
the Stars avoided a sweep in the
Western Conference final with a
3-2 victory over the Golden
Knights on Thursday night.
Jason Robertson scored twice
for his first career multigoal
playoff game for Dallas, which
played without suspended cap-
tain Jamie Benn.
“We’re looking for goals and
that’s kind of my responsibility I
put on myself,” Robertson said.
“I know these playoffs have been
tough. I was able to ge t the
bounces that we needed to-
night.”
Jake Oettinger, the former
Boston University star, had 37
saves, two nights after the 24-
year-old Stars goalie was pulled
7:10 into Game 3 after allowing
three goals on five shots.
The Stars had the man ad-
vantage in overtime after
Brayden McNabb’s high-sticking
penalty on Ty Dellandrea. Fifty
seconds into the power play, Pav-
elski scored on a pass from Miro
Heiskanen. They won for the
first time in their five OT games
this postseason — Vegas won the
first two games of this series past
regulation.
It was only the second Vegas
penalty of the game, both high-
sticking calls against McNabb.
His penalty on Pavelski late in
the first period set up the power
play when Robertson scored his
first goal with some nifty stick-
work.
Pavelski, in his 15 th NHL
season and still looking for his
first Stanley Cup, scored his
ninth goal in 12 games this post-
season, but his first in five
games. He has 73 career postsea-
son goals — the most for US-
born players and the most
Revolution’s Jones jumped into defending role feet first
By Frank Dell’Apa
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT
FOXBOROUGH — DeJuan

Messi while playing soccer in
East L ansing , Mich., never
thinking he would someday
make a living as a defender.
The switch from forward to

Mike Lapper made the move
early in the 2019 MLS season.
The change coincided with a
marked improvement in the
Revolution’s fortunes, sparked
by the arrival of Bruce Arena,
and Jones has not looked back.
But Jones was reluctant to go
defensive during his initial Revo-
lution training camp in 2019 in
Marbella, Spain.
“From the first week of pre-
season, [Lapper] was just like,
‘ You’d make a great outside
back,’ ” Jones recalled. “And I’m

Benn was suspended two

Early in the season, though,
Lapper was promoted from as-
sistant to head coach, replacing
Brad Friedel, and, sure enough,
Jones found himself starting at
left back. First there was an exhi-
bition against Chelsea FC, then
an MLS match against D.C. Unit-
ed, in what turned out to be Lap-
per’s last game before Arena
took over.
Four seasons later, Jones has
established himself as a key to
the Revolution’s success, while
earning two US national team
caps.
“I’m definitely a defender
now,” Jones said. “I’ve always
trained with both feet and I feel
very comfortable on both sides.
The national team recognized
that, and the last camp I played
on the left and right back.”
As a right-footer, Jones has
had to adapt to the left side with
the Revolution (7-3-3, 24 points)

NCAA WOMEN’S LACROSSE FINAL FOUR
Medjid (five goals) lifts BC
Eagles bounce
Syracuse, reach
6th straight final
By Kat Cornetta
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT
BC 8 Over her five
years with Bos-
Syracuse 7 t o n C o l l e g e
women’s lacrosse, Jen Medjid
has done so much for the Ea-
gles. The graduate student has
251 career goals, second in pro-
gram history. In addition to her
offensive contributions, she
has stepped up as a leader,
even though she did not fore-
see her career going that way.
On Friday night, Medjid
added to her legend. Her five-
goal performance against Syra-
cuse in the national semifinals
single-handedly kept the Ea-
gles going during a tough de-
fensive battle, leading them to
a 8-7 victory over the Orange.
BC (19-3) advanced to its sixth
consec utive national title
game, which is Sunday at noon
against Northwestern in Cary,
N.C.
“I needed to step up as a
player and a leader for my team
when we needed it,” said Med-
jid.
The game’s first 10 minutes
were dominated by Syracuse
(18-3.) The Orange took a 3-0
lead, with two of those tallies
coming off the stick of Emma
Ward. BC’s defense, one of its
strongest traits, was stunned,
but regrouped quickly. Medjid
helped by scoring her first goal
of the game three minutes lat-
er. Cassidy Weeks followed
shortly with a diving goal to
bring BC within one.
“Our last Syracuse game
wasn’t our best game defen-
sively, and I know personally
that game wasn’t my best ei-
ther,” said BC freshman goal-
tender Shea Dolce, who made
seven saves. “I knew those first
two goals, they couldn’t rattle

NCAA DIVISION 3 MEN’S LACROSSE CHAMPIONSHIP
Potent Tufts shooting for national title
By Matt Doherty
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT
Blink too fast or move a step
too slow and the Tufts men’s la-
crosse team probably has
scored a goal on you. With an
up-tempo offense predicated on
speed and skill, the Jumbos
have piled up goals at a historic
pace this spring, setting the
NCAA Division 3 record for a
season with 456.
Top-ranked Tufts (22-0)
hopes its powerful offense has
one more masterful perfor-
mance left as it prepares to play
second-ranked Salisbury (Md.)
in the Division 3 national title
game Sunday at 4 p.m. at Lin-
coln Financial Field in Philadel-
phia.
“A large part of that is how
fast we play,” said senior mid-
fielder Joe Murtha. “Our transi-
tion game is different than how
a lot of teams play and that’s
why we score so many goals.
When we get stops, we like to
start on the right in Saturday’s
game against the Chicago Fire as
Brandon Bye (shoulder) recovers
from injury.
“DeJuan has shown improve-
ment this year,” Arena said. “Tac-
tically, definitely. He’s always
had the physical qualities, but
tactically he’s better, and that’s
encouraging. One-on-one de-
fending he’s fine, but off the ball,
he’s had to be a little better and
he’s gotten there.
“He’s becoming very well-
rounded and he adds to our at-
tack, which is a real plus. He’s
worked hard on his left foot, as
well, and he’s getting there, but I
wouldn’t say he’s two-footed.”
For the US national team,
Jones lined up at right back
against Serbia (2-1 loss) and Co-
lombia (0-0 tie) in January. But
his shutdown defending style,
stamina, and strong attacking
runs are assets on either side.
“At Michigan State, wingers
had to defend quite a bit, and

game. So we reset as a defense,
and I just kept my head in the
game and focused on the next
goal.”
Inspired, Dolce and the Ea-
gles limited the Orange’s high-
powered scorers for the next 20
minutes. But while the defense
was turning in great work, BC’s
offense struggled. The Eagles
finally tied the score with eight
minutes to go in the first half
off a Andrea Reynolds free po-
sition shot.
After some uncharacteristi-
cally sloppy play by BC, Syra-
cuse’s Emma Tyrrell gave the
Orange a 4-3 lead with 4:25 left
in the first half. Again, it was
Medjid to the rescue. Her sec-
ond goal tied the score, 4-4, at
the half.
Syracuse took control of the
third quarter, outshooting the
Eagles, 8-4, and taking a 6-4
lead be fore Medjid scored
again to bring BC within a goal.
With 1:28 left in the third, Me-
gan Carney reopened up a two-
goal lead for the Orange.
get the ball up and out and cre-
ate uneven opportunities.”
The offense is paced by se-
nior attack Jack Boyden, who
leads all NCAA divisions with
154 points. He’s joined up front
by Tommy Swank (72 goals)
and Kurt Bruun (103 points).
But the Jumbos believe they
are far from a one-dimensional
team.
“Obviously the offense is fir-
ing on all cylinders, but we’re al-
so allowing under 10 goals per
game,” said coach Casey D’An-
nolfo. “Our faceoff guy [Mason
Kohn] is the best in the country.
We’re able to control possession
and our defense and midfield is
out of this world.”
Tufts is playing in its sixth
national title game and first
since 2016, when it fell to Salis-
bury, 14-13, in Philadelphia. Af-
ter losing in the semifinals to
RIT the last two seasons, the
Jumbos exacted revenge last
Sunday, earning a 15-11 win

playing basketball, I always took
pride in defending,” Jones said.
“So it was a transition, but like I
say, I always took pride in my
one-on-one defending. So it was
more understanding the posi-
tion — positioning was the
toughest thing to adjust to.”
Jones’s sport might have
been football (American style)
had he followed the footsteps of
his father, Demetrius, who cap-
tained the 1983 Western Michi-
gan team.
S A T U R D A Y, M A Y 2 7 , 2 0 2 3
If one theme has emerged
over BC’s season, it is that it
can never be counted out. The
Eagles entered the fourth quar-
ter not demoralized at their
deficit, but excited for the chal-
lenge that lay ahead.
“They are smart enough to
know that the game’s not over
until it’s over,” said Eagles
coach Acacia Walker-Wein-
stein.
Medjid wrested control of
the game at the opening of the
fourth, scoring twice within the
frame’s sixth minute to tie the
score, 7-7. She knew if she
could get her teammates that
far, they would come through
for the rest.
“I just knew once we were
going to tie, we were going to
win the whole thing,” said Med-
jid. “We were going to make
the stops we needed to make,
we were going to score game-
winning goal, and I knew that
we were going to win it.”
After the teams traded time-
outs, Kayla Martello scored the
over the Tigers in Medford to
punch their ticket to the title
game.
“Just because we knocked off
RIT doesn’t mean we’re satis-
fied,” said Murtha. “That win
felt really sweet, but we can’t
get complacent now. We didn’t
come this far to get this far.”
D’Annolfo, a 2006 Tufts
graduate who took over the pro-
gram in 2017, said winning the
national championship has al-
ways been the goal of this team.
The only undefeated team left
in NCAA lacrosse, Tufts has out-
scored foes by an average of
10.7 goals per game. Only six of
its contests have been decided
by five goals or fewer.
So what will happen if the ti-
tle game is close down the
stretch?
“I think our guys have done
a good job all year focusing on
ourselves and not our oppo-
nent,” said D’Annolfo. “We push
each other in practice every day.
“I never played football,”
Jones said. “It was during soccer
season, so I never put the pads
on. My dad wanted me to follow
my dreams, and he saw how
good I was in soccer. He didn’t
really know the sport but he
started to pick it up and enjoy it
as well. He never forced me and
let me make my own decision.”
Jones considers himself a
Manchester United supporter,
but he found his soccer role
models in Spain.
“My family didn’t watch too
much MLS; dad’s an NFL guy,”
Jones said. “I used to watch La
Liga highlights at my grandpar-
ents’ house. When I was 8 or 9, I
found out about Messi, Ronald-
inho. Messi is why I train with
my left foot so much, trying to
do his skills.”
After Chris Tierney’s retire-
ment in 2018, the Revolution
sought left-foot replacements at
left back. But after going

winner with 3:31 left. On the
next Syracuse possession, BC
midfielder Belle Smith was
beaten one on one against the
Orange’s Olivia Adamson, but
didn’t let the play go. She end-
ed up blocking Adamson’s shot,
causing a ground ball picked
up by Sophia Taglich, stopping
Syracuse’s final possession.
“[Assistant coach Jen Kent]
has been saying all year long to
‘finish your 1v1s,’ ” said Walker-
Weinstein. “Meaning, it doesn’t
matter if you ge t beat , but
you’re still in it. It was exactly
what happened on that play.”
The Eagles will face the top-
seeded team in Northwestern
in Sunday’s national title game.
The Wildcats defeated previ-
ously unbeaten Denver, 15-7,
in Friday’s first semifinal, with
Newburyport native and ex-
Tufts goalie Molly Laliberty
making eight saves and im-
proving to 20-1 as a starter.

I think our key is not losing fo-
cus and staying committed to
what we’re doing by controlling
the tempo and pace.”
Tufts prepped for the large
dimensions of Lincoln Finan-
cial Field by practicing Thurs-
day at Gillette Stadium. They
arrived in Philadelphia Thurs-
day night and practiced Friday
at Lincoln.
D’Annolfo expects Jumbo
fans will be out in full force in
Philadelphia, adding another
layer of excitement to the week-
end.
A win Sunday would mean
everything for the program he
is building.
“This is my second recruit-
ing class, and I pitched to them
that if you come to Tufts, you’ll
have the opportunity to com-
pete for a national champion-
ship,” said D’Annolfo. “It bol-
sters that argument that this is
what we sell and this what we
deliver.”

Arena has used Jones as his
Opening Day left back starter ev-
ery year.
“Bruce really encourages a lot
of creativity and really lets play-
ers express ourselves out there,”
Jones said. “He holds me to a re-
ally high standard and I think
he’s pushed me. Even when I
have a good game, he tells me,
‘You could’ve passed a little bit
better.’ He’s always there for me,
to keep pushing me, and not set-
tle.
“I feel that I’ve learned a lot
since he’s gotten here. Obviously,
the position change I had to ad-
just to, but I have a better under-
standing and now it’s more
about being a leader out there,
communicating, helping out the
young guys, being more consis-
tent in my performances.”

GLOBE CORRESPONDENT
Christyan Berger is a fast learner.
The Revere senior setter joined the boys’ vol-
leyball team in its inaugural 2021 season with
zero playing experience, rapidly ascending to
leader of the 2023 Patriots. But he marked an-
other impressive achievement Thursday night,
receiving a Seal of Biliteracy for his English and
Portuguese.
When Berger and his Brazilian family immi-
grated to the United States, he was 11, and he
knew no English. He became fluent in six
months.
“I just learned that, if you put your mind to
something and if you really work for it, you can
do anything,” he said.
Berger and his mom, dad, and younger broth-
er emigrated from Guarapari in 2016. His par-
ents disguised the move as a vacation to New
York City so as to not alarm their children, but
when they continued to Malden, Berger realized
the trip was more significant.
“I was really scared because [it was a] new
place,” he said. “We did not know anybody here.
My mom had an aunt that lived here but that
was it — just one aunt . . . I had to start school
two months after I moved here. That was really,
really scary too.”
Berger attended middle school in Malden be-
fore his family moved to Revere in 2019. The ear-
ly years of financial uncertainty were challeng-
ing; Berger says he went upwards of three years
barely seeing his parents because of their long
night shifts and multiple jobs.

Before he picked up volleyball, Christyan
Berger had to learn English on the fly.

Local Facebook groups and message forums
helped guide the family to work and enroll in
school, and Berger still appreciates the generosi-
ty of Massachusetts’ immigrant community.
“I feel like this community that we have here,
they’re a good resource for any immigrant that’s
coming in, to just have people that have experi-
ence on it,” he said.
His father now works as a painter and his
mother is a nanny. Berger, who will be a first-
generation college student at Salem State, is
thriving at Revere, where he also participates in
JROTC. Coach Lianne O’Hara Mimmo met him
for the first time as a freshman in her biology
class, and has admired his transformation.
“In the classroom, he was one of the most qui-
et kids. I would have to call on him to get him to
speak,” Mimmo said. “And now on the court, ev-
ery year he tends to be a little bit more vocal.”
Volleyball is Brazil’s second-most popular
sport, behind soccer, and even though Berger
had never played before high school, he was a
lifelong fan alongside his father, Leandro. He
even owns a jersey signed by national team setter
Bruno Rezende.
“Whenever there’s a Brazil game anywhere,
my dad and I always tune in and watch it togeth-
er. It’s really fun to have that bonding time,”
Berger said.
He leads a star trio with Alex Serrano Tabor-
da and Ruben Rodriguez, who powered the Pa-
triots to a 16-4 record in the program’s third sea-
son. Revere did not lose a Greater Boston League
game all season.
Serrano and Berger, the only three-year varsi-
ty players on the squad, have grown close as a
hitter-setter duo.
“It just brings out like a sort of connection to
it — that we’re the last ones who started the pro-
gram and stayed with the program,” Serrano
said.
Revere is a diverse community; more than 40
percent of its residents were born outside of the
country. Mimmo appreciates how the Patriots
have brought together students from all sorts of
cultural backgrounds. They take the court with
pride while representing a rising program.
“It’s almost like a cult following in the school,”
Mimmo said. “They carry volleyballs around the
school, they’ll meet up when they have free time;
they’re playing in the gym right after school. So
we’ve definitely created this culture that kids

MIAA TRACK AND FIELD CHAMPIONSHIPS
Success follows stumbles
By Matty Wasserman
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT
As Tewksbury senior Alex
Arbogast crossed the finish line
of the boys’ 200 meters Friday,
he pumped his fist in jubilation
and let out a triumphant yell.
Arbogast’s winning effort in
a personal-best 22.23 seconds
during Day 1 of the MIAA Divi-
sion 4 state championships at
Notre Dame Academy in Hing-
ham was cause for celebration,
but the exhale of emotion en-
capsulated more than one per-
formance.
At the indoor Meet of Cham-
pions in February, Arbogast
stumbled at the wire of the 55
dash and fell hard on his shoul-
der, resulting in a third-place
finish. The defeat sent Arbogast
into a self-described tailspin, as
he finished second in both the
100 (11.12) and 200 (22.46) at
last week’s Merrimack Valley
championship meet.
“I just kept watching the
video of me falling over and
over, and it just hurt. It really
hurt,” said Arbogast, who will
run track at Rhode Island next
year. “Then that losing carried
into conference play last week
. . . I was just really questioning
my worth in this sport.”
But with his big victory Fri-
day and the 100 on tap in Sun-
day’s second leg, Arbogast’s
confidence is once again riding
high.
“It got me down, just hear-
ing people seem like they’re
over me and forgetting about
me,” Arbogast said. “I knew
how badly I wanted it today
and this weekend, and today
was a good start to let them
know that I’m back.”
Meanwhile, the drama built
for the girls’ 200 during the pre-
liminary heats, when the
event’s three favorites — Pem-
broke junior Sarah Claflin, Bur-
lington senior Grace Hanafin,
and Tewksbury senior Jayani
Santos — each won their re-
spective heats by more than a
full second.

Sisters and their families.
In the jam-packed final, Cla-
flin prevailed with a personal-
best 24.58 — the fastest girls’
200 in the state this season.
“When we all ran such good
trials, it definitely hyped me up
a little bit,” Claflin said.
Gloucester junior Finn
O’Hara faced an uphill battle in
the boys’ 800, sitting third as he
rounded the final turn. But for
the long-distance specialist —
Friday was only O’Hara’s fourth
time running an 800 — his
game plan paid off with a first-
place finish (1:56.56) and
three-second personal best.
The Burlington boys’ team
were leading with 50.33 points
on the strength of Elijah Wolin-
ski’s winning 400 hurdles
(56.12), Rithikh Prakash’s vic-
tory in the 2-mile (9:24.38),
and the team placing in seven
of the eight events run Friday.
The Newburyport girls (37
points) held a 14-point lead
over second-place Pembroke as
Hailey LaRosa (11:03.82) and
Abby Kelly (11:16.97) placed
first and third, respectively, in
the 2-mile.
Division 2 — The 400-meter
hurdles at the Division 2 state
championship at Merrimack
Co l l e g e i n No r t h A n d o v e r
marked something of a revenge
tour for Hopkinton’s Sean
Golembiewski.
At last year’s state meet,
Golembiewski tripped on the fi-
nal hurdle and finished last.
This time, the Penn-bound
senior cleared every hurdle
with ease, cruising to a first-
place finish (54.71), more than
two seconds ahead of Chelms-
ford’s Will Larsen.
“I didn’t want to give [last
year] too much attention be-
cause it might’ve thrown me
off,” Golembiewski said. “But it
was definitely in the back of my
mind.”
Golembiewski’s time was
just under a second off his per-
sonal best (53.95), which he set
at the Weston Twilight Invita-
tional May 6.

“He is one of the most dili-
gent workers in practice,” Hop-
kinton coach Brian Prescott
said. “He does every single drill
that our hurdle coach, Michael
Webb, asks of him in terms of
h u r d l e t e c h n i c a l a b i l i t y,
strength training.”
North Andover’s Caleb Ag-
bor — a specialist in the long
jump and high jump — spent
the week working through his
shot put mechanics as he pre-
pared to compete in the boys’
pentathlon.
That attention to detail paid
off. Agbor notched personal
bests in the shot put and high
jump to help him win the pen-
tathlon with 3,030 points.
“When you put work in, you
get results, and that’s what hap-
pened today,” Agbor said.
His performance — along
with Ryan Connolly’s meet re-
cord in the 800 (1:53.58)
helped the Scarlet Knights (53
points) take a commanding 21-
point lead over second-place
Hopkinton heading into Sun-
day’s final day.
In the girls’ competition,
Woburn (34 points) opened a 4-
point lead over Reading behind
Cyndea Labissiere’s win in the
girls’ pentathlon (2,828 points),
Nicole Gangi’s first-place finish
in the 400 hurdles (1:03.15),
and Sinead Butler’s win in the
2-mile (11:04.13).
Behind a strong finishing
kick, Boston Latin’s Colin Fisch-
er flew past the field in the
boys’ 2-mile, setting a meet re-
cord (9:13.55).
“I knew I wanted to sit be-
hind and wait until that last lap
or two laps to go,” Fischer said.
“That’s exactly what I did. I put
on my kick and I brought it
home.”

Cardinals release All-Pro Hopkins
The Arizona Cardinals released three-time All-
Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins in a salary-cap
move Friday after they failed to find a trading part-
ner. The Cardinals made the move three seasons
after acquiring Hopkins in a trade with Houston
and signing him to a $54.5 million contract exten-
sion. The soon-to-be 31-year-old Hopkins would
have counted close to $31 million against the cap
this season. Hopkins had 221 catches for 2,696
yards and 17 touchdowns in 35 games with Arizo-
na.
Gruden watches Carr, Saints
Former Raiders coach Jon Gruden was among a
handful of invited guests who observed Saints vol-
untary offseason practices this week. A person fa-
miliar with the situation confirmed Gruden’s pres-
ence during the Saints’ first week of voluntary
practices with new quarterback Derek Carr, who
posted some of his best career passing numbers in
Gruden-designed offenses.
SOCCER
US men’s Under-20 perfect
The United States completed a perfect group
stage at the Under-20 World Cup and Ecuador
joined it in the knockout stage. The Group B-lead-
ing Americans beat Slovakia, 2-0, in San Juan, and
second-placed Ecuador hit Fiji, 9-0, in Santiago del
Estero. The US had secured a spot in the knockout
stage but finished the group stage with three wins
from three games, and no goals conceded.
GOLF
Rookie Hall leads at Colonial
Harris English quipped to his caddie that no
one is beating him at Colonial’s par-3 eighth hole,
which is true after he followed his birdie in the
opening round with a hole-in-one. PGA Tour rook-
ie Harry Hall from England maintained the solo
lead through 36 holes at 12-under 128, making a
save from the sand at that same par 3, for a three-
stroke lead over English. English’s ace at the 170-
yard eighth was part of his bogey-free 66.
Koepka starts slow at LIV
Brooks Koepka returned from the high of win-
ning his fifth major championship with a flat
round of even-par 72 that left him eight shots be-
hind Harold Varner III after the opening round of
LIV Golf DC at Trump National. Varner had a 64,
giving him a two-shot lead over former US Ama-
teur champion James Piot . . . Stewart Cink shot a
second consecutive 4-under 68 and trailed Padraig
Harrington by four shots after the second round of
the Senior PGA at the new Texas headquarters of
the PGA of America..

Marta Wise, one of the child survivors of Auschwitz’s horrors, at age 88
By Emily Langer
WASHINGTON POST
The Nazis came for Marta
Wise on her birthday. She was
only 10 but, as a Jew in Hitler’s
Europe, had long before lost any
semblance of normal childhood.
Marta had spent two years on
the run or under an assumed
identity when the truck stopped
outside her apartment in Slova-
kia to take her away.
She arrived on Nov. 3, 1944,
at Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Nazi
death camp in occupied Poland,
where she was subjected to the
medical experiments of Josef
Me n g e l e , t h e S S p h y s i c i a n
known to his victims as the “an-
gel of death.” Her survival, she
later said, she owed to luck, to
the companionship of her sister
Eva — who was arrested and im-
prisoned with her — and to
hope.
When the Soviet army en-
tered Auschwitz on Jan. 27,
1945, Marta weighed 37
pounds. She and Eva are among
the 13 children who appear in a
picture taken by a Soviet photog-
rapher shortly after the camp
was liberated, a portrait of bar-
est survival and, today, one of
the most haunting images of the
Holocaust.
Ms. Wise, 88, died May 19 at
a hospital in Jerusalem. Yad
Vashem, the Holocaust memori-
al in Israel, announced her death
but did not cite a cause.
Ms. Wise’s testimony, which
she shared with groups from
around the world as a guide and
speaker at Yad Vashem, had
grown increasingly valuable in
the later years of her life, as the
number of living survivors dwin-
dled, and as child survivors in-
creasingly became the bearers of
firsthand memory of the Holo-
caust.
As a 10-year-old who escaped
death at the largest Nazi killing
center, Ms. Wise was by any
measure extraordinary. Of the 6
million Jews murdered in the
Holocaust, nearly 1 million died
at Auschwitz. According to the
camp’s memorial and museum,
only about 500 prisoners under
the age of 15 were alive at the
time of liberation.
Reflecting on her months in
the camp, Ms. Wise said she re-
membered mainly her fear, her
hunger, and the cold. “I’m not
sure how much I understood,”
she remarked years later in an
interview recorded by Yad Vash-
em. “I was a kid, after all. But it
was a different world . . . It
wasn’ t from this world,
Auschwitz.”
Marta Weiss was born in
Bratislava, in what was then
Czechoslovakia and is now Slo-
vakia, on Oct. 8, 1934. She was
the fourth child in an Orthodox
Jewish family that would even-
tually grow to include eight
daughters and one son.
Her father, an affluent busi-
nessman, owned spinning and
weaving mills as well as a retail
store. Ms. Wise remembered her
mother as an elegant woman,
Pete Brown, 82; Beat poet put words to Cream hits including ‘Sunshine of Your Love’
By Richard Sandomir
NEW YORK TIMES
Pete Brown, a British Beat
poet who wrote the lyrics to
songs by the rock supergroup
Cream, including the hits
“White Room,” “I Feel Free,”
and “Sunshine of Your Love,”
and who after the band’s break-
up collaborated for nearly five
decades with Jack Bruce, its
lead vocalist and bassist, died
May 19 at his home in Hastings,
on the southeast coast of Eng-
land. He was 82.
His manager, Peter Conway,
said the cause was cancer.
Mr. Brown entered Cream’s
circle at the request of Ginger
Baker, the band’s drummer.
They knew each other because
Mr. Brown performed his poet-
ry backed by jazz musicians,
and Baker had gotten his start
in jazz combos; Baker asked Mr.
Brown for help on the lyrics to
the group’s debut single, “Wrap-
ping Paper,” which preceded the
release of “Fresh Cream,” its
first album, in 1966.
Mr. Brown quickly discov-
ered a career-long writing part-
ner in Bruce, whose fluid and
propulsive playing provided
counterpoint to Baker’s explo-
sive drumming and the guitar
pyrotechnics of Cream’s third
member, Eric Clapton.
In a s h o r t d o c u m e n t a r y
Ms. Wise (above, with then-Prince Charles in 2020) was among the children liberated from Auschwitz who were captured in a

ever stylish even as she looked
after her many children.
Ms. Wise had a happy child-
hood, surrounded by her sib-
lings, cousins, grandparents,
and other relatives in the stately
residence where the family lived
near Bratislava's presidential
palace.
But the dismemberment of
Czechoslovakia in the Munich
Agreement of 1938, in which
Nazi Germany was permitted to
annex the German-speaking Su-
detenland in exchange for Hit-
ler’s empty promise of peace,
soon upended life for Jews in
Slovakia.
about the making of “ White
Room” seen on Dutch television
in 2018, Mr. Brown recalled, “It
became evident that Jack and I
had a chemistry, and when we
wrote ‘I Feel Free,’ which was a
big hit, so everyone went, ‘OK,
that’s a team. Let it roll.’”
Mr. Brown did not provide
t h e l y r i c s t o a l l o f C r e a m’s
songs, but he was the group’s
primary lyricist. On its second
album, “Disraeli Gears” (1967),
he wrote the words to “Sun-
shine of Your Love,” a collabora-
tion with Bruce and Clapton, as
well as “Dance the Night Away”
and two other songs.
“White Room,” one of four
songs he wrote with Bruce on
t h e b a n d ’s t h i r d a l b u m ,
“Wheels of Fire” (1968), rose to
No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100
in 1968. It was the second-high-
est ranking a Cream single
achieved; “Sunshine” had
peaked at No. 5 earlier that
year.
“White Room” began as a po-
em Mr. Brown wrote, inspired
by his stay some years earlier in
an actual white room, in an
apartment.
“I had been semi-destitute, a
semi-bum, living on people’s
floors, and eventually I began to
earn some money from song-
writing, and the white room
was the first place I moved in-

Peter Ronald Brown was
born Dec. 25, 1940, in Surrey,
England, with World War II un-

there after fleeing London dur-

Nathan L eibowitz, and his

Mr. Brown started writing
poems as a teenager, fired up by
the works of Dylan Thomas,
Federico García Lorca, and Ge-
rard Manley Hopkins. But he

to journalism, which he studied

wife set about scattering their
children in places they hoped
would afford greater safety.
Marta was spirited into Hun-
gary, which was not yet occupied
by the Germans, to live with rel-
atives in the town of Sarvar. Af-
ter the Germans took over the
country in March 1944, she was
smuggled back to Bratislava,
making part of the journey on
foot through wheat and corn-
fields.
Her parents then sent her
with her sister Eva, three years
her elder, east of Bratislava to
the city of Nitra, where the girls
lived with a nanny, posing as
Catholic children orphaned in
wartime bombings.
They attended school and
Sunday church services, rigor-
ously keeping their cover. For an
added measure of protection,
Eva befriended the daughter of a
high-ranking SS officer, who
treated her with affection, often
challenging her to games of
chess.
One day, Ms. Wise recounted,
the SS officer remarked on the
upcoming Jewish holidays of
Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur.
Many Jews had already been
deported from Bratislava. On the
High Holy Days, the officer said
to Eva, any who remained would
“come out of hiding like rats out
of their holes” to attend religious
services. The Nazis would take
the opportunity, he declared, to
make Bratislava “Judenfrei,” free
of Jews.
Eva managed to send word of
the coming roundup to her par-
ents, who passed the warning to
other Jews also in hiding in Brat-
islava. At least for the moment,
they owed their safety to a young
girl.
the University of Westminster)
in London.
He returned to verse and
published his first poem in
1961 in Evergreen Review, the
boundary-breaking literary
magazine based in the United
States that filled its pages with
work by luminaries like Samuel
Beckett, Jean-Paul Sartre, Allen
Ginsberg, Henry Miller, and
William Burroughs.
Over the next few years, he
was a working poet. He was
part of the First Real Poetry
Band, which included guitarist
John McLaughlin, and he had a
jazz poetry residency at the
Marquee Club in London.
In 1965, he and more than a
dozen other poets from around
the world, including Ginsberg,
Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Gregory
Corso, Michael Horovitz, and
Andrei Voznesensky, read their
work at the International Poet-
ry Incarnation, which filled
Royal Albert Hall in London.
On its website, the venue re-
called the event as one “where
beatniks met the emerging hip-
pie culture.”
The call for help from Baker
jump-started a long songwrit-
ing career, first with Cream,
and then, when Cream split up
after two years, with Bruce on
his solo work. Mr. B wrote the
lyrics to songs on nearly all of

Marta and Eva’s arrest came
as they returned home from
church on Oct. 8, 1944. Watch-
ing as a truckload of soldiers
stopped outside their apartment
building, “we all thought they
were off to the front and people
saluted them,” Ms. Wise told an
interviewer years later. “But they
weren’t going to the front. They
had come to pick up a 10-year-
old and a 13-year-old child.”
The sisters were interrogated
about their identity and beaten
before they were taken to the
Sered concentration camp in
Slovakia and then to Auschwitz.
Describing the interminable
train ride, Ms. Wise told Yad
Vashem that people died stand-
ing up; the cattle car was packed
so tightly with human life that
even the dead could not rest on
the ground.
Upon arrival at Auschwitz, an
adult hoisted Marta to the tiny
window at the top of the train
car and asked what she saw. “A
lot of smoke in the air,” she re-
plied, her first sight of the
camp’s crematorium.
Marta and Eva were at first
separated in the selection line,
with Eva chosen for work and
Marta directed toward the gas
chambers, according to a pub-
lished account of their story. A
flyover by a Soviet airplane
caused a stir of commotion on
the ground, allowing the girls to
be reunited.
They spent their imprison-
ment largely together. “I was
‘lucky,’ under the circumstances
— I was lucky that the madman
allowed me to be near my sister
the whole time,” Ms. Wise told
Yad Vashem, referring to Men-
gele.
Marta and Eva were placed
Bruce’s albums, from “Songs for
a Tailor” (1969) to “Silver Rails”
(2014). One of their collabora-
tions, “Theme for an Imaginary
Western,” became a staple in
the repertoire of the band
Mountain.
“I was in awe of Jack,” Mr.
Brown told The Guardian in an
interview last month. But, he
said, “Sometimes we had to
have a rest from each other —
two very big personalities in the
same room sometimes wasn’t
good, plus his addictions got in
the way.”
Mr. Brown found his own
voice, as a singer, in the decade
after Cream broke up. He per-
formed with the bands Pete
Brown & His Battered Orna-
ments, Piblokto!, Back to the
Front, Flying Tigers, and Bond
& Brown, which he formed with
British rock and blues musician
Graham Bond. He also began a
long songwriting collaboration
in the early 1980 s with key-
boardist Phil Ryan, a former
member of Piblokto!, that pro-
duced several albums through
2013.
He also helped write most of
the songs on “Novum” (2017),
Procol Harum’s last studio al-
bum. (He replaced Keith Reid,
Procol Harum’s longtime lyri-
cist, who died this year.)
Mr. Brown’s autobiography,
together in a block with twins
and dwarfs, many of them per-
sonally selected by Mengele for
his sadistic and often fatal stud-
ies.
Both Marta and Eva under-
went medical experiments, al-
though they never learned pre-
cisely what kind; Ms. Wise re-
called only blood draws and
injections that brought on ago-
nizing stomachaches.
“I don’t remember the de-
tails,” she told Yad Vashem. “I
just remember the pain, and I
remember the injections. I re-
member him coming, and then
you wanted to die anyway as
soon as you saw him.”
Through their imprison-
ment, “amongst all this death,
and horror, and torture, and
murder,” Ms. Wise said, it never
occurred to her or her sister that
their parents would not be wait-
ing for them at home when liber-
ation came, or that life would
not be the same when they re-
turned.
“That’s how people survived,
by believing that they will find
their families when it’s all over,”
she told Yad Vashem. “And that
kept you going. Hope keeps you
going.”
Ms. Wise’s younger sister Ye-
hudit died in Auschwitz. Her
other siblings and her parents
survived the Holocaust. Their
mother, Ms. Wise recalled, was
“flabbergasted” when she and
Eva appeared at their home in
June 1945 after hitchhiking
their way back to Bratislava.
“I don’t think she recognized
us, really,” Ms. Wise said. “It’s be-
yond words to describe what you
felt like when you got back.” But
the joy of their reunion was tem-
pered by yet another separation:
Marta and Eva were both sick
with tuberculosis, a highly infec-
tious disease that was rampant
in the camps, and they could not
remain at home until they had
recovered.
As the sisters grew up, Ms.
Wise said, they told their parents
nothing of their experience at
Auschwitz. “We didn’t have the
heart to tell them such a thing,”
she said.
In 1948, the family immigrat-
ed to Australia, where Marta
studied history at the University
of Melbourne. In 1957, she mar-
ried Harold Wise. They lived in
Australia before settling in Israel
in the late 1990s.
Ms. Wise’s survivors include
her husband; their three daugh-
ters, Michelle Shir, Judy Joss,
and Miriam Bruce; and many
grandchildren and great-grand-
children.
Ms. Wise’s sister Eva Slonim,
the author of the memoir “Gaz-
ing at the Stars: Memories of a
Child Survivor,” is 91 and lives in
Melbourne.
“I don’t know how we sur-
vived, how any single person
survived in that climate,” Ms.
Wise told the Associated Press.
“That is a miracle to me. . . . And
why I survived and others didn’t
I don’t know. I am not God.”
“ White Rooms & Imaginar y
Westerns: On the Road With
Ginsberg, Writing for Clapton
and Cream — An Anarchic Od-
yssey” (2010), is being adapted
as a documentary by director
Mark Aj Waters but has not yet
been finished. Mr. Brown had
recently been working on an al-
bum, “Shadow Club”; one of his
collaborators was Bruce’s son
Malcolm, an electric bassist like
his father. (Jack Bruce died in
2014.)
“We’ve naturally gravitated
to each other,” Mr. Brown told
The Guardian, adding that he
was planning to write songs
with Malcolm Bruce for his next
album “as long as I can stay
alive for a reasonable amount of
time.”
Mr. Brown is survived by his
wife, Sheridan MacDonald; his
daughter, Jessica Walker; his
son, Tad MacDonald; and a
grandson.
Even after he began singing,
Mr. Brown said, his admiration
for Bruce initially led him to
avoid singing the Cream songs
he had helped write.
“ You know, ‘I’m not good
enough,’” he told Dutch televi-
sion. “Then I suddenly thought,
‘OK, I wrote those songs as
well,’ and I thought, ‘It’s kind of
about time I started singing
some of these songs.’”

Life-science developer Alexandria Real Estate Eq-
uities is moving forward with plans to transform the
Watertown Mall into a 24.5-acre lab campus, filing a
master plan for a multibuilding project along Arsenal
Street that would span nearly 1 million square feet.
The master plan, filed with Watertown officials in
April, calls for four new life-science laboratory and of-
fice buildings, two amenity buildings — one with fit-
ness and wellness uses, and another with food and
beverage uses — and a building with a mix of office
and retail, all keeping to a maximum height of five
stories. Alexandria would also develop two parking
garages — one at 480 Arsenal Way and one abutting
the existing Target store (which would stay as part of
the redevelopment) at 550 Arsenal St.
“The Project has been thoughtfully designed
to provide a new, dynamic mixed-use development
with numerous public realm improvements intended
to embrace two important corridors in East Water-
town — Arsenal Street and the Watertown-Cam-
bridge Greenway — and to greatly enhance pedestri-

Mass. drivers not keeping hands on the wheel
Data show handling
of phones is up
By Hiawatha Bray
GLOBE STAFF
On the eve of Memorial Day and the
annual summer driving surge, new re-
search suggests that many Massachu-
setts drivers are ignoring the state law
that forbids handling a smartphone
while driving.
Cambridge Mobile Telematics, a
Cambridge firm that collects digital da-
ta from millions of cars, says that Mas-
sachusetts drivers spent 28 percent
more time handling their phones be-
hind the wheel in 2022 than they did
in 2020, the year Massachusetts enact-
ed a law requiring drivers to use
phones only in hands-free mode.
“Distracted driving is getting worse,
but we have the power to change that,”
said Matt Fiorentino, CMT’s vice presi-
dent of marketing. “We’re doing the
right things. We need to do more.”
The Massachusetts law, which took
effect in February of 2020, forbids the
use of phones or any other electronic
device, except in hands-free mode. The
law also bans fiddling with the phone
at stop signs or red lights. Drivers can
touch the device to activate hands-free
mode or GPS navigation, but only if the
phone is attached to the dashboard or
windshield.
In 2020, the Massachusetts drivers
tracked by CMT touched their phones
an average of one minute and 54 sec-
onds per hour of driving. By 2022, the
average had increased to two minutes
and 26 seconds.
Firm says that Massachusetts drivers spent 28 percent more time
handling their phones behind the wheel in 2022 than they did in 2020,
Other states aren’t doing much bet-
ter, as phone use while driving in-
creased by more than 23 percent na-
tionwide during the same period.
CMT is a leading provider of driving
data to insurance companies world-
wide. Many car insurance companies
offer special discounts to drivers who
install apps on their phones to monitor
their driving habits. CMT collects and
analyzes this data for insurers, who use
it to set rates and encourage safer driv-
ing habits.
For their Massachusetts survey,
CMT studied data from millions of
trips taken by thousand of drivers. The
monitoring apps use the phone’s GPS,
gyroscope, and motion-detection chips
to figure out when the phone was in a
moving car and whether its touch-
screen was being used. Fiorentino said
CMT can even tell when the phone is
being used by the driver or a passenger.
In the first few months after Massa-
chusetts and seven other states enact-
ed hands-free laws, data from these
states showed a 13 percent decrease in
phone use while driving. But the im-
provement didn’t last. “The awareness
kind of fades over time,” said Fiorenti-
no.
By the end of 2022, phone use while
driving was slightly higher in the eight
states than it had been before the prac-
tice was outlawed.
Fiorentino said Massachusetts
needs stronger enforcement of the law,
and greater awareness among drivers.
He said that if phone use while driving
had declined 28 percent from its 2020
level (instead of increasing by that
amount), there would have been nearly
12,000 fewer car crashes in Massachu-
setts in 2022, and 30 fewer fatalities.
Deaths on the nation’s highways
soared during the COVID era, despite a
decrease in miles driven during the
worst of the pandemic, according to
the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration. While fatalities fell in
other advanced nations, US fatalities
reached more than 42,000 in 2021, an
18 percent increase in just two years.
According to figures from the Mas-
sachusetts Department of Transporta-
tion, road deaths in the Common-
wealth rose from 336 in 2019 to 439
last year, a 30 percent increase.
According to MassDOT, the state
has been cracking down on distracted
driving. In 2020, law enforcement offi-
cers in the state issued nearly 29,000
citations and warnings for distracted
driving, but the number rose to about
44,500 in 2021 and 43,000 in the first
10 months of 2022.
A statement issued Thursday by the
Massachusetts State Police warned
travelers to take the hands-free law se-
riously. “Citations with fines up to
$500 may be issued to drivers found vi-
olating this law, which has been in
place in Massachusetts for more than
three years,” the statement said.

stakes in the three Northeast wind
projects that it shares with Ørsted —
South Fork Wind, Revolution Wind,
and Sunrise Wind — by the end of next
month, with a closing anticipated by
the end of the year.
As a result of these deals, Ever-
source will be out of the offshore wind
power development business entirely.
Eve r s o u r c e f i r s t t e a m e d u p w i t h
Ørsted in 2016 just as the European
company, then known as DONG Ener-
gy, was building up its East Coast pres-
ence in anticipation of bidding on up-
coming contracts to develop offshore
wind farms. (Eversource, like several
other major electric utilities, will still
hold contracts with these wind farms
to buy their power.)
Eversource’s exit from the offshore
wind development business comes as
the broader industry faces financial
turmoil.
Several developers that signed
state-orchestrated contracts to provide
wind power have now found it chal-
lenging or impossible to meet the pric-
es spelled out in those contracts be-
cause of a quick runup in costs last
year tied to the war in Ukraine, rapidly
rising interest rates, and supply chain
issues.
However, construction has begun
in Massachusetts on the country’s first
utility scale offshore wind farm, Vine-
yard Wind, which will generate power
for the equivalent of more than
400,000 homes when it’s done next
year. And preliminary work has start-
ed in Rhode Island for Revolution
Wind, a slightly smaller project.

HOROSCOPE
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday,
May 27, 2023:
You are perceptive and creative,
and you like to share your ideas.
The strength of your personality
can lift any situation that you find
yourself in. (You’re that powerful.)
This is a wonderful year to social-
ize and enjoy life! Your creativity,
zest and desire for good times are
sparked!
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
Today is a productive and finan-
cially favorable day. Nevertheless,
you might find yourself at odds
with someone older or someone in
authority. Cope as best you can.
This can be a playful weekend for
you, especially with sports and fun
activities with kids. Enjoy! To-
night: You’re productive.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Children might be an increased
responsibility today. Nevertheless,
you’re in such a positive frame of
mind, you'll enjoy talking to oth-
ers. You will also appreciate the
beauty of your daily surroundings.
Challenges on the homefront con-
tinue, but you can handle this. To-
night: Creative ideas and sports.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
Respect family members today, es-
pecially authority figures, because
they might have advice for you. (If

stead choose to entertain. It’s your
call. Tonight: Family discussions.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
This is a good day to shop for
wardrobe items for yourself. Hope-

more experienced might be diffi-
cult. Tonight: Learn something.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Don’t be discouraged by critics who
throw cold water on your financial
ideas. You are successful right now,

doubt. Trust in yourself. You've got
this. Tonight: Money plans.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

TV CRITIC’S CORNER LOVE LETTERS

BY MATTHEW GILBERT BY MEREDITH GOLDSTEIN

After all this, I have to see him

EVAN AGOSTINI/INVISION/AP/FILE (LEFT) AND SCOTT ROTH/INVISION/AP/FILE
Michael Imperioli (left) and Steve Schirripa — who played
Christopher Moltisanti and Bobby Baccalieri, respectively —
cohosted 91 episodes of “Talking Sopranos” from 2020 to 2021.
Max is airing edited video of the trivia- and inside-story-filled
podcast, and it has added in relevant clips from the show.

at work every day
Q. I started a new job about eight months ago. The first person I
met was the manager. Over time we became friends, and soon
he asked me out. I said no at first, but against my better judg-
ment I gave in and we had our date. After that date, we started
falling for each other. He was so positive and goal-oriented. Af-
ter time, we told each other we loved each other.
I’m 42 and he’s 34. I have two teenage kids from a previous
relationship, he has three kids from a previous marriage. After
dating for a bit, I became pregnant. I was in shock because of my
age. We said we’d get through this together. It was two-plus
months of me thinking I found the one, and I began getting ex-
cited about the pregnancy. Then I lost the baby. I called him af-
ter it happened but he didn’t get back to me because he was
“busy” at work.
Two days later I texted to say I was heartbroken over losing
the baby, and he texted back that we needed a break to concen-
trate on work and get our lives in order. He said everything hap-
pened too fast for him. Nothing I said or how I cried made him
change his mind.
I mean, he told me loved me. We talked about looking for
places together — and then he just went away.
How could someone tell me they love me and leave me like
that? And how could he be so cold after I lost our baby (alone)
and not even care? I feel so heartbroken. The kicker is that I
Work will be difficult, but maybe it’s the kind of place where
you can listen to music and develop new routines.
The autopilot thing is a step in the grief process. After a
while, it turns into pilot.

READERS RESPOND:
His perspective was probably “office affair — future un-
known,” and yours was love, marriage, and the baby carriage. It
all happened way too fast and the close call taught him a lesson.
You also have a lesson to learn, albeit a more painful one. #ther-

I disagree a bit with Meredith’s advice about work. I think

plenty to see have to see him at work too. I also lost our friendship in this, and
I lost our baby, which is another heartbreak by itself. I feel like
you need to get another job ASAP. Seeing this guy daily will stop
you from moving forward emotionally, and when he eventually

IN TEARS
A. I am so, so sorry.
First, make an appointment with your doctor and talk about
mental health services. You want to process what happened,
and therapy can help. Find out what resources are available to
you. Be clear about how you’ve been feeling.
Second, I want you to know that it’s very possible this man
loves you and cares about you but can’t be with you because he’s
not up for a partnership. His actions don’t mean he was lying
about his feelings or that he’s not experiencing loss too. It’s not
all-or-nothing. It sounds like you were both shocked by the preg-
nancy, and that you came up with a lovely plan to do this togeth-
er. When things changed, he crashed. Perhaps he rethought ev-
erything and realized that even though he has strong feelings for
you, this might not be the best path for him. At the very least, he
needs space.
Is that nice? Caring? Fair? Maybe not. But it’s real. I wish he
could be a better support system to you, but he’s set a boundary.
As you get more resources for mental health, call on others
who’ve been important to you during your 42 years. You’ve
known this man for months, and the romantic relationship was
still new. He is not the only person who can make you feel safe
and happy.
you have space.
HIKERGALNH128
I am so sorry that you’re dealing with the grief of a miscar-
riage. Please ask your doctor for a counselor or support group.
You need that to help you heal. If you’re able to, I would also sug-
gest reaching out to friends and family for support. I can’t tell
from your letter whether they knew you were pregnant, so if you
hadn’t shared, I suggest letting trusted people know so that you
can find support.

I really disagree with Meredith’s comment “It’s very possible
this man loves you and cares about you but can’t be with you be-
cause he’s not up for a partnership.” Love and care require ac-
tion. Ignoring someone who is having a miscarriage and then
giving vague explanations for ghosting is neither of those things.
