POLICE, P. A23

Seal

From P. A21

doesn’t happen, the group ceases to exist on Dec. 31.

Part of the push for extending the commission into March centered on the idea that the report should be laid before lawmakers during the session when they would potentially act on it. The commission’s deadline falls three days before the adjournment of the current General Court.

As for what the commission will have to show for more than a year of research and discussion, members appeared to diverge on how they want to spend their remaining six and a half weeks -- and their new budget.

Boyles said in August that the $100,000 budget they were seeking would include money for initial design work, though some commissioners zeroed in Tuesday on conducting public surveys or hearings.

Walley said she would like to see the commission employ a research center to conduct some sort of statewide survey “before time is up” if they do not receive another extension.

Elizabeth Solomon of the Massachusett Tribe said she thought “it’s going to be very hard” to spend money responsibly “with a month and a half, and holidays coming up.”

“If we want to come up with something that is really helpful, then we need to really brainstorm on that, and if we don’t, then I think we need to think of foregoing the money,” Solomon said.

Brig. Gen. (Ret.) Leonid Kondratiuk tried to refocus the conversation on “deliverables.”

When the Legislature created the commission in early 2021, it directed that the group “shall” recommend a “revised or new design” for the state seal and a “revised or new motto,” along with “recommendations for an educational program on the history and meaning of the seal and motto.”

“I just want to remind the commission, one of the deliverables -- to use that good word -- is that we’re supposed to submit a new design of the seal,” Kondratiuk said. “And so, you know, Plan B could be -- if we don’t do the survey -- perhaps we could go to a graphics designer and just put some of the things that we’ve recommended over the last couple of weeks into a design.”

Commission member Micah Whitson said he had gotten some initial pricing from designers, but “designers have backlogs, and so the designers that I’ve picked, or that we may be looking for, may not have time to execute this in six weeks” and that the goal “may not ... be possible.”

Now 13 months past the original deadline, members have been spitballing ideas for a new design.

Around eight commissioners took part in an internal survey to begin sketching out possible imagery for the seal and words for the motto, and their thoughts were shared in a spreadsheet during Tuesday’s meeting. But even that effort appeared behind schedule.

Around half of the members still had not filled out the survey, and after Boyles emailed another link to the form in the middle of the meeting, the commission sat in several periods of silence while members worked on writing down their overdue responses.

The ideas already submitted include geographic features like the Great Blue Hills, the Berkshire Mountains, and the Atlantic Ocean; flora like the Eastern White Pine, cedar tree, and mayflower blossom; fauna, such as a chickadee, turkey, Northern Right Whale, or codfish; and human figures such as a colonist or indigenous person (which appears on the current seal).

Other ideas on the spreadsheet included “Indian Feather,” “Scripted Massachusetts Constitution,” “Graphic of state shape,” a quill pen, a rising sun, and an image of the State House’s Golden Dome.

The motto brainstorming produced one idea with four votes -- “Equality” -- followed by several concepts tied for second place: “Education,” “Commonwealth,” “Justice,” “Liberty,” and “Peace.”

Other concepts on the drawing board included “Imagination,” “Industrious,” “Ingenuity,” “Resiliency,” -- and “Hope,” which was claimed by Rhode Island as its motto as far back as 1664.

Boyles set a Friday deadline for members to offer input. Ideas that receive more than one vote will then be compiled into a second internal survey for members to rank their preferences. Boyles said work on that survey would start no later than Monday and be wrapped up by Nov. 30 “at the latest.”

Back in August, Boyles laid out a timeline of goals that Indian Affairs Commissioner Jim Peters called “very ambitious.” That included an October deadline for work on an RFP and outreach to initial designers.

At a September subcommittee meeting, members voted on three specific questions to be included in a UMass Poll survey, including a multiple-choice option asking which broad category the respondents would like to see featured on the seal -- such as the depiction of a human figure, natural resources, or geometric shapes.

The director of UMass Poll, professor Tatishe Nteta, afterwards told the News Service that “we have no formal relationship with the commission other than an interest in following their work and the corresponding discussions of the future of the seal.”

UMass Poll did include one seal question on its October survey, but not the multiple-choice prompt that commissioners had hoped would focus their design brainstorm.

The poll asked whether respondents support or oppose “replacing the state’s seal and flag, which shows a colonist’s arm brandishing a sword above an image of a Native American.”

Out of 700 respondents, 30 percent “strongly” opposed replacing the seal and flag, while 23 percent strongly supported the change. Ten percent “somewhat” opposed it, 12 percent somewhat favored it, and 25 percent did not pick a side.

Before adjourning Tuesday, commissioners also went down a brief tangent about the seal’s color scheme, which highlighted some confusion over what the commission’s product is going to be.

Whitson said seals should ideally be one color -- the current seal and flag is blue, white, and gold -- and he also mentioned that the state has differing “official” colors, which are blue, green, and cranberry.

report of two-vehicle accident involving a dump truck on Humphrey Street and Ida Road. 12:12 p.m. Officer met at police station with woman who had received an email from “Amazon” informing her that there was an issue with her account, which she now realized was a scam. She stated that she then emailed back and forth with a person she thought was from Amazon customer support, giving the person her name, address, Social Security number and date of birth, along with the information on two of her debit cards. Once she realized this was a scam, she had contacted her banks to make them aware and had not lost any money, though her personal information had been compromised. She was advised to contact the credit agencies to set up a fraud alert. She was advised on how to report identity theft to the FTC and to monitor all of her accounts for any signs of fraudulent activity. 1:06 p.m. Wire reported down on Lincoln Avenue. 11:15 p.m. Officer spoke to man who reported that he had just been “sucker punched” in the head by a man known to him at the Riptide Lounge on Pleasant Street. Man said that, when he turned around to fight back, a group of unknown patrons had escorted him out the front door. Man said his hand had been injured in the scuffle and that he feared the hand had sustained structural damage that would affect his work as a mechanic, but he declined medical attention. Officer advised man to seek a complaint at Lynn District Court and that Marblehead Police would document the incident. Man’s friends told officer that, as soon as they had walked into the Riptide, the alleged assailant had engaged them in conversation their reading glasses, but being not interested in the banter, they walked away. The alleged sucker punch happened a few minutes later. Neither of the friends had seen exactly how the man’s hand had been injured. Officers tried to locate the alleged assailant but were unsuccessful. The Riptide does not have cameras, and officer wrote that an employee and other patrons “were not helpful” in providing additional information.

Officer was given a copy of the check, which had been doctored to show a different business address, authorizing signature and check number. At about 1 p.m., man had received a call from the same teller at the credit union branch in Salem who had helped him create a new account, who explained that she currently had a woman at her window trying to cash another check against his closed account. Man asked the teller to get her identification and that he would go the police station to file a report. The teller was unable to tell man anything about what happened after that, other than she had contacted the credit union’s security department. Officer asked man if any checks he had authorized had gone missing or never made it to their final destination, and he replied that, to his knowledge, none were missing. The only thing he could think of was that in order to open up a business account with Home Depot, he had to provide a blank check for their records.

Man said the evening’s argument had begun because woman had been smoking in the vehicle and had allegedly left a cigarette burn on the vehicle’s upholstery. But man was also upset that she had resumed drinking at a Beverly lounge earlier in the evening. Man said that, when they got home, he had gone out to walk his dog, and woman would not let him back inside the apartment. Man explained that everything he owns is inside that apartment and that he did not just want to barge in, as he does have keys, and instead wanted to play it safe by calling the police to assist. Officer then joined conversation with woman, who was already speaking with another officer. Woman explained that she had allowed man to live there for a month, and she now wanted him to leave. Officers explained to woman “numerous times” that, because she had allowed man to live there, he had the same rights to the apartment as she had, an answer that the woman did not like. She continued to insist that she wanted man to leave, that he does not pay rent, and he is “being a punk.” Officers and woman talked “in circles” for almost an hour before officerin-charge was called to scene. The situation was eventually resolved after woman was advised that she would needed to go through the eviction process with the man, and/or she could go to Lynn District Court and speak to the Domestic Violence Unit to see if she would be eligible for a restraining order. Both parties were advised to keep to themselves for the night. Officer planned to report the incident to North Shore Elder Services, as the woman felt she was being taken advantage of due to her age.

obITUArY Dr. Barbara Anne (Baute) Dowd, 93

Dr. Barbara B. Dowd of Marblehead, formerly of Reading, died at home, surrounded by her loving family, on Nov. 23, 2022, affter a prolonged illness.

Born in Providence, Rhode Island, on Oct. 31, 1929, Barbara was the second child of the late Dr. Joseph Andrew Baute Jr., a general practitioner, and Helen Rose (Brueckner) Baute, who was a nurse.

She was raised in East Greenwich and graduated from James T. Lockwood High School in 1947, where she was class valedictorian and a member of the Rhode Island Honor Society.

Barbara went on to earn her bachelor of science degree from Mary Washington College of the University of Virginia, Fredericksburg, Virginia, in 1951 and then to medical school at Hahnemann Medical College and Hospital in Philadelphia.

It was there that she met Dr. Thomas John Dowd, whom she married two days after their graduation from medical school in 1955.

Ahead of her time, Barbara was one of only four women who began the program, where she and one other woman graduated four years later with a class of 90 men.

After an internship at Sacred Heart Hospital in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and junior internships at Kent County Hospital in Warwick and Roger Williams General Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island, Barbara specialized in pediatrics.

In 1965, she and Tom settled in Massachusetts to raise their growing family and enter private practice. The husband-and-wife team took care of patients of Dowd Medical Associates in Reading for more than 30 years.

Dowd Medical Associates grew into a multi-partner practice and is still providing pediatric and gynecology services. Barbara was on the staff of Winchester Hospital in Winchester and affiliated with other area hospitals.

Prior to retirement in 2000, Barbara and Tom moved to Marblehead. From there they took every opportunity to explore the New England coastline on their sailboat, “Cigogne.” A nod to the couple’s medical career, “cigogne” is the French word for “stork”; the dingy was named “Bebe.”

Their sailing adventures included completing the 363-nautical-mile Marblehead to Halifax Ocean Race in 1995, where they placed fifth in their class.

Barbara and Tom also traveled as much as they could, embarking on adventures at home and abroad until Tom’s health failed in 2017.

Continuing on her own, Barbara kept a vibrant colorful flower garden, wrote two children’s books, “Adventures of Harry Hawk” and “Whiskers Makes His Rounds,” and was a prolific artist, holding local exhibits of her paintings. Her delightful dog, Lily, kept her company during the pandemic.

All who knew and loved Barbara will miss her.

Barbara is survived by her six children and their families, Anne Dowd; Katherine and Arthur Muller; Mary Beth and Brian Trubitt; Thomas Dowd; Nancy and Gary Holt; and John and Elizabeth Dowd.

She also leaves behind 10 grandchildren with their spouses and four great grandchildren: Joseph and Amanda Muller, parents of Sylvia and Mckenna Muller; Kelsey and Alex Rospos, parents of Wilder Rospos; Rebecca Trubitt and Paul Rogers, parents of Cassandra Rogers; Katherine Trubitt; Graham and Alison Holt; Kevin and Helin Holt; and Sean Holt; as well as Isabella, Peter, and Nicholas Dowd.

Her brother, Dr. Robert E. Baute, his wife, Barbara B. Baute, and family, also survive her. Her brothers, Joseph A. Baute and Dr. Peter B. Baute, precede her in death, but their families survive her.

Visiting hours will be held on Thursday, Dec. 2, 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Eustis & Cornell of Marblehead, 142 Elm St.

Her funeral Mass will be held on Friday, Dec. 3 at 11 a.m. at Our Lady Star of the Sea Church, 85 Atlantic Ave., Marblehead. Burial will follow at Waterside Cemetery, 294 West Shore Drive, Marblehead.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in her name to Boston Children’s Hospital Trust 401 Park Drive, Suite 602, Boston, MA 02215 or to the Abbot Public Library Foundation, P.O. Box 1409, Marblehead, MA 01945.

Fond memories and expressions of sympathy for the Dowd family may be shared at eustisandcornellfuneralhome. com.
