Baker-Polito Administration Presents Green Communities Designation Awards to Southeast Communities

Baker-Polito Administration Presents Green Communities Designation Awards to Southeast Communities
Cohasset, Norwell, Stoughton, Weymouth and Whitman receive $941,740 for Clean Energy Projects

WEYMOUTH – January 28, 2016  The Baker-Polito Administration today awarded Green Communities designation grants totaling $941,740 to Cohasset, Norwell, Stoughton, Weymouth and Whitman to fund clean energy projects. The southeastern Massachusetts municipalities became Green Communities in the ninth round of designations in December.

“Massachusetts cities and towns continue to lead the way toward a clean, affordable and resilient energy future for the Commonwealth,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “These communities will use their grants to reduce energy use, improve their buildings, save money and help us meet our ambitious greenhouse emission reduction targets.”

“These Green Communities designation grants are another great example of the Commonwealth’s partnership with cities and towns,” said Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito. “Municipalities have been leaders in clean energy adoption, providing examples of effective implementation and the benefits of energy efficiency and renewable energy.”

Under the Green Communities Act, cities and towns must meet five criteria to be designated a Green Community and receive funding. The grants provide financial support for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects that further the designated communities’ clean energy goals. These five designees are now among 155 Green Communities, cities and towns of all sizes that range from the Berkshires to Cape Cod and are home to 54 percent of Massachusetts’ population.

“The commitment of these communities to reduce their energy use and undertake clean energy projects will help Massachusetts continue its leadership in energy efficiency, renewable energy and emissions reductions,” said Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Matthew Beaton. “In addition, municipalities can use the money they save by reducing energy use for other important items, like public safety, education and municipal buildings.”

“Through our Green Communities program, DOER is proud to work with every city and town across Massachusetts,” said Department of Energy Resources Commissioner Judith Judson. “More than half of the Commonwealth’s population is committed to reducing their energy use, emissions, and helping their local economy through this program.”

DOER awarded funding for projects in these newly designated Green Communities in the southeast region:

Municipality                        Grant
Cohasset                               $141,460
Norwell                                $146,520
Stoughton                            $209,910
Weymouth                           $277,635
Whitman                              $166,215

All Green Communities commit to reducing municipal energy consumption by 20 percent over five years. These commitments amount to collective savings of 2,153,992 MMBtu, energy use equivalent to heating and powering nearly 17,000 homes, and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 203,538 tons, equivalent to taking almost 39,000 cars off the road.

“I commend the town of Weymouth on their efforts to become a Green Community and am pleased that we are able to provide this grant funding from the state in order to assist them with their ongoing efforts in seeking efficiency and modernization,” said House Majority Leader Ron Mariano (D-Quincy).

“This funding will help Weymouth with the reduction of Greenhouse gasses” said State Representative James Murphy (D-Weymouth). “We are the generation that needs to take the initiative to ensure a cleaner future. Renewable energy has economic advantages and grants like this go a long way to meet specific needs that communities identify. I am glad that this partnership will help Weymouth achieve its goal of cleaner energy while saving our constituents money.” 

“I want to thank Governor Baker and Lieutenant Governor Polito for their commitment and investment in promoting clean energy efforts across the Commonwealth, particularly in Weymouth,” said Weymouth Mayor Robert L. Hedlund. “It is an honor for Weymouth to become a Green Community.  I want to congratulate and applaud the efforts and dedication of all those employees and volunteers who helped Weymouth meet the criteria necessary to achieve this important distinction.”

Funding for these grants is available through proceeds from carbon allowance auctions under the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) and Alternative Compliance Payments (ACP) paid by retail electric suppliers that do not meet their Renewable Portfolio Standard compliance obligations through the purchase of Renewable Energy Certificates.

By Terry Yin

Speaker Ziwei Wu(吳紫薇), PhD, Indian University Bloomington, Doctor of Optometry, New England College of Optometry introduced us Eye disease and eye care.

She started with eye structor, the most common part is 1. Sclera, 2. Lens, 3. Retina, and 5. Choroid. There are common eye disease which many seniors are suffering: 1.Presbyopia, 2. Cataract 3.macular degeneration  4. Dry Eyes, 5. Glaucoma

Presbyopia: This is when you lose the ability to clearly see close objects and small print. It's a normal process that happens slowly over a lifetime, although you may not notice any change until after age 40. Presbyopia is often improved or corrected with reading glasses, LASIK, and other procedures. She clarified the misconception of most people are holding, correction glasses are completely safe to wear, as long as patient go see with the professional OD to get their accurate prescription. 

Dry Eyes:This happens when tear glands can't make enough tears or they make poor quality tears. Dry eyes can be uncomfortable, causing itching and burning. Rarely, they can lead to some loss of vision.

She suggested using a humidifier in your home or special eye drops that are similar to real tears. Systane eye drop is recommend for dry eye patients during day time, Gental Gel eye drop is the best before go to bed. She also suggested patients use hot pads, this method has been clinical proofed to be effective, each pad cover eyes for 2 mins, 10 mins in total, 2 times a day.

Cataract:Cataracts are cloudy areas that develop within the eye lens. A healthy lens is clear like a camera's, and light has no problem passing through it to the retina at the back where images are processed. When you have a cataract, the light can't get through as easily and, as a result, you can't see as well. Cataracts often form slowly, and they don't cause symptoms like pain, redness, or tearing in the eye. Some stay small and don't affect your eyesight. If they become large or thick, cataracts can usually be removed by surgery.

Macular Degeneration (AMD) AMD is a common eye condition and a leading cause of vision loss among people age 50 and older. It causes damage to the macula, a small spot near the center of the retina and the part of the eye needed for sharp, central vision, which lets us see objects that are straight ahead. Currently, no treatment exists for early AMD, which in many people shows no symptoms or loss of vision.

Glaucoma: This condition is often associated with a buildup of pressure in your eye. The eye is like a tire; some pressure is normal and safe. But when the pressure goes up, it can lead to damage of the optic nerve. This is called primary open angle glaucoma. Because most people with primary glaucoma have no early symptoms or pain, it's very important to have an eye doctor check your eyes regularly. Treatment may include prescription eye drops or surgery.

Her recommendations:
  1. Regular Eye Exams (age 45+ or record of family history)
  2. Blink exercise (blink regularly)
  3. 20-20-20 rule, every 20 mins, look 20 feet away, and 20 seconds to give your eye muscles a break.
  4. If you need reading glasses to look at the screen or paper, wear them.
  5. Keep the proper distance of the screen or paper.
  6. Read under the bright lights
  7. Physical exercise
  8. See an optometrist or eye doctor immediately if you experience eye pain or loss of vision.
  9. Healthy eating habit, Vitamin C and Omega 3 can help prevent eye diseases.

Baker-Polito Administration Launches New “RMV Near Me” Program

Baker-Polito Administration Launches New “RMV Near Me” Program
Partners with Councils on Aging to offer assistance with online transactions

BOSTON - January 28, 2016 – The Baker-Polito Administration’s Department of Transportation (MassDOT) and Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) today announced the launch of the “RMV Near Me” program, a pilot partnership with statewide Councils on Aging (COA) to provide additional service locations at which senior citizens can receive assistance processing routine Registry transactions online.  The program is the latest in a series of initiatives designed to improve customer service at the Registry by offering alternative service solutions.
“The RMV Near Me Program is another great example of our commitment to identifying new, creative ways to improve customer service at the Registry of Motor Vehicles”, said Governor Charlie Baker. “We are pleased to be partnering with Councils on Aging across the Commonwealth to provide opportunities for our seniors to receive assistance with processing online Registry transactions.” 
“Providing a positive customer service experience for all Registry customers is at the forefront of our agenda,” said Registrar of Motor Vehicles Erin Deveney. “When we sat down to think about alternative service solutions to bring our business to our customers, we saw that the answer was simple but innovative- ask our existing, long term partners to help. The RMV is grateful to the Councils on Aging that have made “RMV Near Me” a success and we look forward to training others in the very near future.”
To date, approximately 60 Councils on Aging, listed below, are participating in the program, where Council staff were trained by RMV staff, and are now able to assist residents with conducting online transactions as well as helping to locate important RMV forms, documents, and resources online. Examples of several RMV transactions that can be processed at COA locations include: 1) renewing Massachusetts driver’s licenses online (if the resident is younger than 75); and 2) renewing a motor vehicle registration without having to visit the local RMV branch. 
Over the last year, the RMV has been increasing the use of existing alternative service channels, increasing RMV staff performance measured by improving accountability and customer treatment, and improving customer wait times through the use of dual queuing methods that have eliminated hidden wait times at participating branches. The RMV has also redesigned MassRMV.com to be more customer friendly and improved outreach to increase online use.
The partnership with the Councils on Aging follows an RMV partnership with 12 AAA offices throughout the Commonwealth offering Registry services for members. For a complete list of transactions, visit http://www.southernnewengland.aaa.com/.
The RMV reminds customers that the best place to do business is at our online branch as it offers more than 20 transactions you can complete online at www. MassRMV.com. For the latest RMV news follow Twitter @MassRMV #skiptheline.
Participating Councils on Aging
Adams, Amesbury, Athol, Bellingham, Blackstone, Blandford, Brewster, Brimfield, Brockton, Clinton, Chester, Dartmouth, East Longmeadow, Easthampton, Erving, Framingham, Gardner, Gloucester, Great Barrington, Hamilton, Holden, Huntington, Lawrence, Littleton, Longmeadow, Merrimac, Methuen, Middlefield, Middleton, Millbury, Monson, New Bedford, Newton, Nahant, Peabody, Pembroke, Pittsfield, Plymouth, Rowley, Russell, Scituate, Sharon, Sheffield, Spencer, Taunton, Wakefield, Wales, West Boylston, Westford, Wilmington, Winchendon, Woburn

麻州財長支持薪資平等

STATEMENT FROM TREASURER GOLDBERG ON BILL S2107 “AN ACT TO ESTABLISH PAY EQUITY”

BOSTON, MA – Thursday, January 28, 2016 – State Treasurer Deb Goldberg issued the following statement in support of S2107 – An Act to establish pay equity.  The legislation is scheduled to be considered by the Senate during today’s formal session:

“I fully support S2107,” said Treasurer Goldberg. “Economic empowerment has been the central theme of not only my work in Treasury, but throughout my life.  This legislation takes important steps to encourage awareness, facilitate conversation, and ultimately, ensure equality. Equal pay is not a partisan issue, nor solely a women’s issue. It is a family issue, and it affects the economic health and well-being of our entire state.”

“I want to particularly thank Leader Chandler, Chairwoman Spilka and Senator Jehlen for their steadfast and tireless work to advance this bill and its underlying cause.  I am hopeful that the House might soon consider this legislation so that we can get to work towards finally realizing the promise of equal pay for equal work.”

Bill S2107 proposes several changes, such as increasing the criminal penalty of gender pay discrimination from $100 to $1,000 for employers, and requiring employers to inform their employees of their right to equal pay. The changes would take place at the start of 2018.

In March, Treasurer Goldberg announced the creation of a statewide Advisory Committee on Wage Equality through her Office of Economic Empowerment.  This group has focused on helping both government agencies and private employers to evaluate their pay structure and put a clearer focus on pay equity in their hiring decisions and salary offers.

CATHAY PACIFIC INCREASES BOSTON FLIGHTS FROM FOUR TO FIVE PER WEEK

CATHAY PACIFIC INCREASES BOSTON FLIGHTS FROM FOUR TO FIVE PER WEEK

January 27, 2016 (San FranciscoCA) – Cathay Pacific Airways, named “Best Trans-Pacific Airline” in the 201annual Skytrax World Airline Awards™, today announced the expansion of its non-stop Boston to Hong Kong service from four to five flights per weekThe additional flight will begin on May 5, 2016, just one year after Cathay Pacific’s inaugural Boston to Hong Kong flight, which linked New England and Hong Kong directly for the first time.

Adding to the current Tuesday/Wednesday/Friday/Sunday schedule, the additional flight CX811 will depart Boston every Thursday at 1:45am, arriving in Hong Kong the following day at 5:35am. This early morning arrival allows passengers to connect with every Cathay Pacific flight across Asia – including Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, and over 23 gateways in mainland China – without a layover in Hong Kong. The return flight, CX812, will add a Wednesday departure to the current Monday/Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday schedule. CX812 departs Hong Kong at 6:20pm (local time), arriving in Boston at 10:10pm (same day).

This additional flight demonstrates both the growing market for leisure and business travellers as well as Cathay Pacific’s ongoing commitment to expanding connectivity between North America and Asia.

“New England travellers have welcomed Cathay Pacific with open arms and we have been heartened by the positive response to our non-stop Boston to Hong Kong service,” said Philippe Lacamp, Senior Vice President, Americas. “This service has cut over four hours from the previous one-stop flight time to Hong Kong via JFK or Chicago and introduced a truly premium international travel experience to Asia.
