全球僑務會議5月高雄召開

全球僑務會議5月高雄召開

「第五屆全球僑務會議」將於5月15日至18日在高雄展覽館舉行，僑務委員會委員長吳新興表示，在總統蔡英文就職周年前夕舉辦全球僑務會議極具意義，不但廣徵僑胞對國家發展的革新建言，同時強化僑務與國內民意的連結與共識，並積極進行海外布局新方向等。此外，全球僑務會議首度安排於高雄市舉辦，希望促進全球僑領了解國家整體發展，感受南臺灣城市的國際化視野。

吳新興說，新政府於105年上任，即積極推動各項重大政策，對今後僑務布局及發展面向將有深遠影響，亟需建立及推動共識，因此決定召開「第五屆全球僑務會議」。本次會議與會人員除了各地僑務委員及部分榮譽職人員代表外，還加邀僑校校長、社團領袖、留臺校友領袖、僑商及臺商代表等。值此僑務新政穩健展開的同時，僑委會全面廣徵海外僑胞革新建言，將分別從僑團、僑教、僑生及僑商等領域，請大家提供新政府建議，站穩革新的腳步、尋求創新發展的僑務新局。

據瞭解，為擴大海外俊彥參與，廣納僑務建言，僑務委員會於41年10月舉辦第一屆全球僑務會議，爾後分別於79年4月、90年5月、97年11月舉行，其中第三、第四屆是因應政黨輪替後國內外情勢變化，以及僑界對召開全球僑務會議之企盼而舉行，並藉此確立僑務政策走向。

吳新興表示，本次會議主題「前瞻僑務新局，共創臺灣未來」，是超越以往僑務委員會議格局的全球性僑務會議。目的在奠定僑務更紮實、完整的基礎，邀請海外各地熱心僑務的各世代賢達先進，透過務實且有效率的全球僑務會議平臺相互交流，研討策進未來推動僑務的策略及工作方向，以具體行動支持並支援政府僑務革新的作為。

同時，透過全球僑領返臺參加會議，會後安排實地瞭解臺灣政經、社會、科技、醫療等發展現況與進步情形，俾各地僑務領袖對國家發展能有更深入瞭解，並將所見所聞帶回週知僑居國，增進海外僑界對臺灣的瞭解與支持。

對政府而言，如何團結海外僑胞力量支持臺灣是最重要課題，吳新興期盼藉由這次全球僑務會議聽取各方建言及意見，凝聚共識，落實僑務工作，使全球僑胞不分黨派，支持政府，共同推動國家發展。

既親慈，亦友愛

㡬許囘憶，㡬許歡樂

你已解脫俗身，在遙遠的髙處

與潔瑩清敘時

莫笑我營營役役

因在濁塵中，尚望留點清白。

A chance encounter in this world that lasted 47 years, With warmest and most loyal friendship and, Many fond memories.

Now you are rid of the earthly,

While chatting with Anne

Far away and up above

Please don't laugh

I toil and I toil

Just to keep a clean spot in this dirt filled world.

Governor Baker Nominates McManus, Ovoian to District Court

Governor Baker Nominates McManus, Ovoian to District Court

BOSTON – Today, Governor Charlie Baker nominated Attorneys Maureen H. McManus and Robert S. Ovoian to the District Court. McManus has been a Department of Industrial Accidents Administrative Judge since 2003 with 17 years of prior experience in insurance defense work and Ovoian is an experienced private practice litigator in both civil and criminal courts and has extensive experience with Board and Commission work.

“I am pleased to nominate Attorneys Maureen McManus and Robert Ovoian to the District Court,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “Over the course of distinguished careers, their experiences qualify them as exceptional candidates for the district bench, and I believe they will be serve the citizens of the Commonwealth well if they are confirmed.” 

“Attorneys McManus and Ovoian bring unique backgrounds and are thoughtful lawyers with excellent courtroom skills,” said Lt. Governor Karyn Polito. “ Their decades of proven commitment to public service and private practice make them great additions to the District Court bench, if confirmed by the Governor’s Council.”

The District Court hears a wide range of criminal, civil, housing, juvenile, mental health, and other types of cases. District Court criminal jurisdiction extends to all felonies punishable by a sentence up to five years, and many other specific felonies with greater potential penalties; all misdemeanors; and all violations of city and town ordinances and by-laws. In civil matters, District Court judges conduct both jury and jury-waived trials, and determine with finality any matter in which the likelihood of recovery does not exceed $25,000. The District Court also tries small claims involving up to $7,000 (initially tried to a magistrate, with a defense right of appeal either to a judge or to a jury). The District Court's civil jurisdiction also includes many specialized proceedings, including abuse prevention restraining orders and civil motor vehicle infractions (tried initially to a magistrate, with right of appeal to a judge).

For more information about the District Court, visithttp://www.mass.gov/courts/court-info/trial-court/dc/

Judicial nominations are subject to the advice and consent of the Governor’s Council. Applicants for judicial openings are reviewed by the Judicial Nominating Commission (JNC) and recommended to the governor. Governor Baker established the JNC in February, 2015 pursuant to Executive Order 558, a non-partisan, non-political Commission composed of volunteers from a cross-section of the Commonwealth's diverse population to screen judicial applications. Twenty-one members were later appointed to the JNC in April, 2015.

               (Boston Orange 周菊子牛頓市報導) 波士頓台灣盃壘球賽4月29日由駐波士頓台北經濟文化辦事處和紐英崙中華公所在牛頓市鄉村學校(Countryside)球場率先對決，三，四十名球員頻出狀況，場中爆笑連連，5局後經文處以8比7告捷。下一場預定6月中舉行。

波士頓經文處幾乎全員出動。右起，副處長陳銘俊，僑教中心主任歐
宏偉，新聞組長朱永昌，副組長陳文昌，處長賴銘琪(左一)。(周菊子攝)

               駐波士頓台北經濟文化辦事處處長賴銘琪表示，推出”波士頓台灣盃壘球賽”，主要是希望藉著”以球會友”，帶動第二，三代僑胞後裔加入僑社大家庭，為僑社傳承，以及在傳統僑社和郊區僑社之間搭起更密切的友誼橋樑，凝聚起社區力量。

               賴銘琪指出，將來甚至邀請本地州市政府官員，民代，政要組隊比賽，進一步推動僑社和主流社會之間的交流。

               4月29日的這場比賽，經文處幾乎全員出動，不但處長賴銘琪，處長夫人雲雯蓁，副處長陳銘俊，新聞組長朱永昌，副組長陳文昌，波士頓華僑文教中心主任歐宏偉，一名經文處新僱員全都上場了，還招攬僱庸兵，把歐宏偉體魄健壯的兒子，兩名記者都拉攏進隊。

               紐英崙中華公所在主席陳家驊領軍下，不但翁宇才，朱蘇珊，陳文浩，李翠屏等職員們全體到齊，前任中華公所主席阮鴻燦，李氏公所主席李源沛都來助陣，公所職員們的配偶，姻親，包括余寶愛，翁金怡，余樹昌等人都加入揮棒，捕球行列。至孝篤親公所的中文書記單鳳琴，曾任余風彩棠主席的余定邦夫婦，超武館的葉師傅等人都來加油。

               牛頓市市議員約翰萊斯(John Rice)，每年主辦國慶盃壘球賽的竹蜻蜓壘球俱樂部創辦人王志維也特地在開場時到會致意。

               這場比賽，誠如經文處處長賴銘琪形容的，不計輸贏，志在聯誼。兩隊成員中不少人還是第一次打壘球，連遊戲規則都不懂就上場了，揮棒打到球，還居然不知道得跑步上壘，把場邊觀賽隊友急得全都喊了起來。

波士頓僑教中心主任歐宏偉打球很有架勢。(周菊子攝)

經文處處長夫人雲雯蓁也是第一次打壘球。不過到底她來自壘球王國台灣，上場當捕手，也能和當投手的處長賴銘琪搭配無間。只是沒想到在沙地上跑得穿有釘的鞋，她在跑步搶壘時一滑，手肘當場掛彩，白長褲上兩個膝蓋頭那兒也都沾上黃土一片。

整場比賽中的最強棒，大概非歐主任的兒子莫屬。他不但體魄壯碩，還兩臂肌肉飽滿，一揮棒就是全壘打架勢，連送好幾名隊友回本壘奪分。最有經驗的球員，應該是余寶愛的哥哥，從小就在地方上的棒球聯盟中打球的余樹昌。最認真的要屬阮鴻燦，守一壘時為接球封殺上壘者，好幾次跌得四腳朝天。

余樹昌打球經驗豐富。

比賽結束後，經文處請兩隊在波士頓華僑文教中心享用自助餐，唱卡拉OK聯誼。由處長夫人雲雯蓁率先獻唱”月亮代表我的心”。

波士頓台灣盃壘球賽將由經文處組隊，和波士頓僑團，學生會隊伍陸續比賽，聯誼。(圖片已於4/30發表)

開賽沒多久就有人受傷了。

Tri-Caucus Chairs Submit Amendments to Omnibus Bill

Tri-Caucus Chairs Submit Amendments to Omnibus Bill

WASHINGTON, D.C. – In an effort to increase transparency, defend civil rights, and keep the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) accountable to their mission, the Chairs of the Congressional Tri-Caucus – Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus (CAPAC) Chair Rep. Judy Chu (CA-27), Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Chair Rep. Cedric Richmond (LA-02), and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) Chair Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham (NM-01) – submitted three amendments to the omnibus funding bill and released the following joint statement:

“The taxpayers we represent are asking for accountability from DHS. The Trump Administration would have us believe that DHS is using their limited resources to target terrorists and national security threats, yet the stories of separated families and fear in immigrant communities say otherwise. While DHS leaders like Secretary John Kelly assure Members of Congress that they are focused on targeting dangerous individuals, the data show that about half of those picked up in recent coordinated enforcement actions have no criminal convictions or simple traffic offenses, and only .01 percent of recent immigration-related prosecutions were for dangerous criminal acts. Too often we have received reports of civil rights and due process violations or heard conflicting stories following arrests and deportations. These sensible amendments would implement tried and tested accountability measures and ensure that the funds allocated to DHS are used responsibly. Although these amendments were rejected by the Rules Committee, we are committed to continue fighting on behalf of all of our communities.”

·         DEFEND CIVIL RIGHTS: The Secretary of Homeland Security shall, no later than 60 days after enactment of this Act, develop and implement a plan to provide ethics, civil rights, conflict management, and proper due process training to all current and future U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents and officers.

·         TRANSPARENCY & ACCOUNTABILITY: The Secretary of Homeland Security shall, no later than 60 days after enactment of this Act, ensure that agents and officers of U.S. Immigration and Custom’s Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection wear body cameras when such agents and officers are engaged in official operations.

·         PRIOTIZE NATIONAL SECURITY: None of the funds made available in this Act may be used to increase the number of U.S. Immigration and Custom’s Enforcement Agents until the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Attorney General, develops and implements a plan to restrict access to firearms and explosives from individuals on any no-fly list or terrorist watch list.
