MAYOR WU APPOINTS NEW MEMBERS TO THE ZONING BOARD OF APPEAL

MAYOR WU APPOINTS NEW MEMBERS TO THE ZONING BOARD OF APPEAL

BOSTON - Monday, September 26, 2022 - Mayor Michelle Wu today announced a slate of appointments to the Zoning Board of Appeal (ZBA). The appointees live across the City and represent the diversity of Boston, including members who are multilingual, renters in income-restricted housing, homeowners, building trades members, first generation immigrants, and multigenerational Bostonians. Their collective training and experience includes city and transportation planning, community development, affordable housing creation, sustainable development and architectural design, and construction.  As the City’s zoning code has failed to keep up with Boston’s growth, the majority of development proposals in Boston require zoning relief and must be reviewed and approved by the ZBA. These new ZBA members will work closely with Chief of Planning Arthur Jemison to help advance the Mayor’s goal of rebuilding trust with communities through planning-led development while advancing equity, affordability, and resilience across all functions of the City’s development review process.   “This outstanding slate of community members will play a key role in Boston’s growth as we work to build more housing and address the regional affordability crisis, support equitable and resilient neighborhoods, and shift to planning-led development,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “These appointees represent the diversity, talent, and expertise of our communities that will connect Boston’s growth to addressing our greatest challenges.” “I want to thank the prior members for their service to the city. These ZBA appointees have a variety of experiences in development and community advocacy work in Boston’s neighborhoods, and they represent the diversity of our City,” said Chief of Planning Arthur Jemison. “The BPDA is focused on furthering planning and development work that addresses Boston's greatest challenges: resiliency, affordability, and equity. I am looking forward to a collaborative working relationship with the ZBA. Together, we can aim to reduce reliance on variances as the BPDA prioritizes planning-lead development." The ZBA totals 14 members – seven primary members and seven alternates with a range of experience as required by state law  – who serve three-year terms. Alternates serve if primary members are unable to attend a ZBA hearing. All members currently serving on the ZBA were appointed by previous administrations. In addition to 10 new members, Mayor Wu is reappointing Jeanne Pinado, Sherry Dong, and Hansy Better Barraza. Kerry Walsh Logue, a representative of the Building Trades Employers Association from South Boston, is an active member whose term expires in November. The nominees will now need to be confirmed by the Boston City Council.  Zoning Board of Appeal Appointees At-Large Giovanni Valencia, West Roxbury (primary seat) Alaa Mukahaal, Mission Hill (alternate seat) Neighborhood Organization Seats Norm Stembridge, Roxbury (primary seat) Shavel’le Olivier, Mattapan (alternate seat) Sherry Dong, Dorchester (primary seat) David Aiken, East Boston (alternate seat) Greater Boston Real Estate Board  Jeanne Pinado, Jamaica Plain (primary seat) Katie Whewell, West End (alternate seat) Boston Society of Architecture Hansy Better Barraza, Roslindale (primary seat) Thea Massouh, Brighton (alternate seat) Building Trades Employers Association Raheem Shepard, Hyde Park (primary seat) Building Trades Council Alan Langham, Dorchester (primary seat) Dave Collins, Roslindale (alternate seat)

《抗日將領 李學正》 與大陸淪陷後國共最後之戰秘史

 《抗日將領 李學正》

與大陸淪陷後國共最後之戰秘史

 李台 撰文

李學正少將，字景芳， 河南省靈寶縣人 。中央軍校(陸大)高教班第五期畢業。1902年生于河南省靈寶縣尹庒鎮李村寨子。 父親李英田，母親蘆氏，家境小康。 為人忠孝，其左手小指為四節異於常人的三節。李學正為家中獨子，父母從小請人教練他武功，以免受人欺負。

李學正畢業于陝州的省立九中，後到靈寶縣立第一小學當教師。目睹盜匪猖獗丶國情混亂丶民不潦生，立志除匪投筆從戎。 1928年負箕到省城開封申志，受省府委仼于土匪最嚴重的䝞鎮區當區長清剿土匪。1930年任縣人民自衞團大隊長，清剿期間，土匪數次埋伏暗殺，三次險遭不測。李採取武力與招安並用，成功清剿了土匪。1931年因平定土匪有功，升任豫西陝靈蘆閿永澠新七縣剿匪司令。1931年底，李學正率部隊在澠池縣藕池鎮，被國民革命軍20軍 總指揮 張鈁 整編為國民革命軍20路軍第454獨立團任團長，後仼76師227旅旅長。多次參與剿共與抗日戰役。

       抗日時期，1938年李學正任86軍67師副師長及師長，後任18軍118師師長及87軍118師師長。其中台兒莊大捷之役，1938年4月6日蔣介石派李學正率領榮譽師進攻日軍，國軍前兩次未能攻克，第三次4月7日由李學正率部第一個打進城池並將國旗插上城頭。其後，李學正率部隊駐紮台兒莊。1944年8月日軍發動桂柳會戰。李學正仼87軍118師師長，率部在黔桂湘邊區與日軍作戰。抗戰時期，身先士卒，在其左腿仍留有日軍槍彈未能取出，因此每到秋天左腿就會酸痛。因抗日有功 1945 年3月8日升仼少將。1945 年6月任30軍67師師長。1946年任整編第67旅旅長。1948年任62軍67師師長，參加遼沈戰役與平津戰役。1948年3月李學正當選為第一屆國民大會代表，為民喉舌，在南京參加第一屆國民大會。

1939年11月1日攝於黔 三穗

1949年參加平津戰役，李學正仼62軍67師師長。在天津與共軍苦戰7天7夜,  終因彈盡援絶被俘。其間62軍林偉儔軍長在第三日曾找李商議找條生路，但李不肯仍然堅持奮戰。當時傅作義總司令投共換旗故未提供糧食彈藥 。被俘後被送到北平市復興門外新開路大院受訓，3個月後由傅作義作保放出。李學正與傅作義丶孫戰武曾是情同手足的拜把兄弟，曾發誓同生共死。但傅作義知道李學正忠貞愛國剛正不屈，因此投共換旗之事未敢讓李知道，以致李學正彈盡援絶被俘。

李學正雖失敗但仍不屈不變節，不受中共威迫利誘，假藉回鄉務農展轉由天津經由水路回到湖南。1949年7月擕眷與政府撤退到台灣。一個月後1949年8月奉蔣公與李宗仁總統令帶職返回大陸做敵後反攻復興大業。1949年8月21日隨胡宗南主任飛機由重慶去陝西漢中。1949年11月奉胡宗南主任令成立四個軍: 新四軍丶新五軍丶新八軍與127軍。王凌雲為川鄂豫陝綏靖公署總指揮(川陝甘挺進軍)。李學正為副總指揮兼新四軍副軍長隨後接任新四軍軍長。在川陝邊界成立反攻基地，與共軍多次作戰。大陸淪陷後中華民國仍有四個軍在敵後為反攻而奮戰，安康一役大捷後轉入大巴山區成立反攻基地，結合地方武力逐漸壯大，整軍備戰，構築工事，清鄉剿共，成為中共政權成立後最大的心患，1949年12月毛澤東憤而特令所有陝南軍區部隊與新成立的19軍集結於川陝邊境大巴山區與國軍決戰，激戰23天，孤軍奮戰無援終以失敗。 1950年1月6日總指揮王凌雲被俘。1950年1月10日李學正副總指揮兼新四軍軍長在通江云霧山被俘。

 李學正被俘後仍不屈服，組織越獄集體逃出後，隱忍改名為李正堂，待機東山再起反攻大業。化名後入檬垻景美德家，經人介紹在當地教書。1951年3月30日不幸再次被俘。忠貞不屈而被害為國捐軀。1953年6月28日有親人在河南靈寶西城門口見到通告，通知李學正的親人去四川達縣收葬。當時環境太壞無人敢去收葬，至今不知英魂何處。這段鮮為人知道的國軍大巴山孤軍奮戰史，被中共黨史定為國共正規軍的最後之戰，也為國軍軍史上的空白補充了失去的句點。

 李學正的家屬赴台後，因大陸淪陷音訊中斷，敵後作戰情形無法得知，家屬被政府通報其失蹤。夫人黃秋雲獨自一人辛苦扶養四個小孩。在台中酒廠工作到退休。後赴美國逝世于波士頓。享壽81歲。其子女為李智丶李玲丶李勇和李台。李智為電機工程師，退休後現在美國北卡教書。李台為牙醫師，執業于麻州大波士頓地區。

 李學正另有2個兒子滯留大陸未能在撤退時隨行赴台灣。老大李忠（可忠）失聯不明，老二李孝（可孝、石娃）在老家育有一女四男四代同堂。

 1989年11月30日中華民國聯合勤務總司令部留守業務署公文（函）：李學正派赴敵後執行作戰仼務遇難視同作戰死亡。設定死亡日期 : 1989年10月22日。中共官方公佈李學正的死難日期為1951年無月日，只有年份。

 李學正將軍一生為國為民; 清剿土匪，抗日剿共，忠貞不移。其出生入死，拋家棄子赴敵後作戰，孤軍奮戰為國犧牲，實為忠烈之典範。 (感謝李台醫師同意轉載他父親史蹟的更新版)

AG HEALEY SUPPORTS THE RIGHT OF TEXAS RESIDENTS TO TRAVEL OUT OF STATE FOR ABORTION CARE

 AG HEALEY SUPPORTS THE RIGHT OF TEXAS RESIDENTS TO TRAVEL OUT OF STATE FOR ABORTION CARE 

Multistate Amicus Brief Argues Texas’ Abortion Laws Violate Individuals’ Constitutional Right to Interstate Travel 
 

BOSTON – Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey today joined a multistate coalition of 21 attorneys general in filing an amicus brief in support of the right of Texas residents, as well as those visiting the state for school, work or vacation, to travel to other states to access or provide safe and legal abortions. 

 

The brief, filed today Fund Texas Choice et al. v. Ken Paxon et al., argues that an individual’s constitutional right to interstate travel is at risk due to Texas’ anti-abortion laws, and that interference with that right poses a substantial threat to the liberty and safety of those individuals, some of whom may need to leave the state under urgent circumstances. Texas’ laws not only deprive its residents of access to the reproductive care they may need within Texas’ borders, but also, as Texas lawmakers have indicated, seek to impede an individual’s ability to travel access state lines to obtain an abortion, provide an abortion, or to support a patient in need of an abortion. The brief argues that while Texas may regulate abortion within its borders, intruding on the right to interstate travel, including for abortion, is illegal.  

 

“Following Dobbs, we made a commitment to ensure that patients from across the country can access abortion and to protect providers offering that care,” AG Healey said. “Interstate travel is a constitutional right and we are going to do everything we can to protect access to critical health care.” 

 

Fund Texas Choice et al. v. Ken Paxton et al. was filed by a group of reproductive health advocacy organizations – Fund Texas Choice, Jane’s Due Process, the Lilith Fund for Reproductive Equity, Clinic Access Support Network, The Afiya Center, West Fund, and OB-GYN Dr. Ghazaleh Moayedi. Today’s brief supports the plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction to block several of Texas’ anti-abortion laws. According to the motion, Dr. Moayedi is seeking to travel out-of-state to provide abortion services in states where abortions are legal, and the organizations are seeking to support individuals in Texas seeking to travel out-of -state to obtain reproductive care. 

 

The brief argues that while Texas may regulate abortion within its borders, intruding on the right to interstate travel, including for abortion, is unlawful. The coalition states have thousands of residents living in Texas to attend college or graduate school, or for work, and millions of others visit the state each year, and as such, the states want to ensure their residents can leave Texas and return to their home states to access time-sensitive, legal and safe medical care.  As states that are committed to protecting access to reproductive healthcare, the coalition states are also seeking to preserve the right to travel for millions of individuals that live in states with restrictive abortion laws like Texas’ and for whom travel to seek an abortion is critical.  

 

In July, the Massachusetts Legislature passed An Act Expanding Protections for Reproductive and Gender-Affirming Care, which includes protections for healthcare workers who provide abortion services to patients living outside the state—both those who travel to Massachusetts for care, and those who receive care in their home states from Massachusetts providers via telemedicine. 

 

Joining AG Healey in filing today’s amicus are the attorneys general of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Washington, and Washington, D.C.

            (Boston Orange 周菊子波士頓報導) 加斯林糖尿病中心的年度籌款大會「薑味 (A Taste of Ginger) 」，今年第18屆，有波士頓市長吳弭，麻州前州長Deval Patrick出席加持，19日在南端波士頓藝術中心的天幕劇場 (The Cyclorama) ，再次聚集約250嘉賓，籌得21萬5000元。

加斯林糖尿病中心科學長，也是2000年創辦加斯林亞裔糖尿病研進會 (AADI)的金良城 (George King)表示，來年的二項重點為針對患糖尿病亞裔母親做治療研究，以及尋找可以幫助亞裔糖尿病患者的新設備或儀器。

當晚的最主要嘉賓，波士頓市長吳弭旋風式出席，以不到一分鐘的講話，稱許加斯林亞裔糖尿病研進會多年來的工作，不僅提高了人們對糖尿病的正確認知，還提供很多實用資源，包括各種幫助人避免或減輕糖尿病症狀的食譜等。應「薑味」長期支持者李超榮之邀到會的麻州前州長Deval Patrick強調，對社區、人們有益的事，都值得支持。

新上任的波士頓市聯邦關係主任Sam Hyun，也獲邀上台講話。他侃言亞裔社區需要團結，在美國社會中發揮更大影響力，但由於現場音響效果不佳，聽清楚他發言內容的人不多。

今年的「薑味」由金良城的門生，加斯林糖尿病中心醫師何志恆 (Henry He)，以及CSoft 國際及CSoft 健康科學公司董事長葉雪泥 (Shunee Yee)擔任「薑味」共同主席，曾任劍橋廚藝學校教師的甄碧鳳和8月份開張了第10家餐館的富士集團董事長梁戰士擔任廚藝主席。

參加活動的餐館食肆，在常熟餐廳，富士集團，龍鳳酒樓，MEM進口茶，夏棚 (Summer Shack)，劍橋廚藝學校等長期支持者之外，今年也有好幾家新的餐飲食肆加入陣容，包括自創品牌，在法國釀製，從麻州行銷的Golden Wat干邑酒。企業主Kevin Ly認為他應該是麻州唯一自創干邑品牌，並自行經銷的亞裔。2014年在衛斯頓 (Weston)創辦第一家「餃子女兒 (Dumpling Daughter) 」的劉小蘭，已陸續在布魯克蘭 (Brookline)、劍橋市開張了第二，第三家，二個月後還要再波士頓再開一家。當初和他一起經營餃子舖的妹妹，如今自行創業，在她的餃子鋪旁開飲品店。在波士頓待得夠久的人都還記得，劉小蘭的父親劉南，當年在北端 (North End) 經營著名餐廳「Sally Ling」。

梁戰士當晚還主持了一場廚師PK大賽，由JP富士集團大廚曹明和Pho Le餐廳大廚Tran Le競比，由加斯林糖尿病中心董事長 Roberta Herman，科學長金良城，以及甄碧鳳和Smoke Shop BBQ大廚Andy Husbands等4人當評審。不少人現場偷師，看得十分專注。

根據AADA的中英文雙語官網，「薑味」，或「薑之饗宴」既是關於糖尿病的教育活動，更是支持亞裔糖尿病計畫，創辦迄今17屆，在這第18屆之前，累計已為AADI籌得260萬元。

               (Boston Orange 周菊子波士頓報導) Sudbury鎮的Sewataro公園，9月17日綠波蕩漾，波士頓北一女校友會在新冠病毒疫情延宕近3年後，首次舉辦實體聚會，野餐兼迎新。60多名校友及家眷、親友齊聚一堂，歡聲笑語，不絕於耳。

              其中有2015年畢業的趙雨辰，賴冠穎，以及洪一慈，劉鳳遠，梁雅慧，江雨池，張薰文，林曉嵐等人，是第一次參加校友會活動，另有許翠玲，張松梅，江雨池，饒雨涵等校友慷慨解囊，各交200元，加入之前已有57名的校友會永久會員行列。

許多校友響應會長號召，穿上當年的綠制服，或綠色衣飾出席活動，彷如重塑當年校內滿園春景像。

              當天到場的好幾名校友直言，這還是新冠病毒疫情爆發以來，第一次出門參加社團活動，看到那摩多同學，朋友，好開心。          

第一次出席波士頓北一女校友會活動的校友有，左起，江雨慈，梁雅惠，洪一慈，吳冠穎

              現任會長吳杏玫表示，前任會長張冕退休遷居，多虧該屆幹部吳萍萍、龍熙平，林麗珠，饒雨涵，林遊嵐，李以蕙，李欣、施粲粲等人留任，繼續鼎力框助，才能順利舉辦野餐迎新會。起初他們還擔心疫情期間，不知校友出席活動的意願如何，但出席人數竟比預期多一倍的達60多人，實在讓人高興。

                   前前任會長吳萍萍二年前就準備好要交接，卻被疫情打亂一切。這天野餐聚會，讓她有機會完成當初的交接與感謝。由於這天有不少新校友參加，她還特地介紹了歷屆會長，依序為創會會長趙小怡，以及吳國志，江佩蓉，李欣，吳萍萍，張冕，吳杏玫。

                   駐波士頓台北經濟文化辦事處處長孫儉元，波士頓僑教中心主任潘昭榮，這天都應邀出席並致詞。

                    孫儉元笑說，自己性別不對，無緣進北一女，不過北一女一向是所仰之彌高，望之彌深，令人敬佩的學校。在屏東出生長大，高中也在屏東就讀的他還記得的一件趣事是，高二時學校收到一份北一女發的問卷，信封上寫著台北市第一女子高中，於是他們很不服氣的在回函時寫屏東第一男子高中，以示他們也是第一，彼此平等。

孫儉元當天在讚揚北一女校友傑出，團結之餘，鼓勵校友會吸引更多年輕人參加，以利傳承。

                    潘昭榮則藉致詞機會說明，雙十國慶即將來到，今年僑界恢復舉辦遊行、升旗典禮，晚宴等活動，以及紐英崙中華公所特別舉辦的一場慶祝國慶及僑委會90週年乒乓球賽，希望北一女校友、親友踴躍參加。

              在野餐及嘉賓致詞後，由吳萍萍主持遊戲環節。她安排了養生食物搶答，養生穴道操講解，為校友復習「唯我女校，寶島名高，莘莘學子，志氣凌霄，公誠勤毅，校訓孔昭……為我女界爭光輝」的北一女校歌歌詞，請校友們合唱。還請江佩蓉帶跳韻律舞。

              在新校友自我介紹時，校友們發現波士頓竟然有不少儀隊成員，紛紛提議，下次聚會得安排一場儀隊表演。

3 韓國餐館違反薪資法罰款5萬餘元

KOREAN FOOD STORES LOCATED IN NORTH SHORE MALLS CITED FOR WAGE AND HOUR, CHILD LABOR LAW VIOLATIONS  

Citations Total Over $51,000 Including Restitution for Affected Workers  

 

BOSTON – Attorney General Maura Healey has issued citations, totaling over $51,000, to three specialty Korean food stores located in the Burlington Mall and the North Shore Mall for wage and hour and child labor violations. 

 Peabody Losoon Park, Inc. dba Losoon Park, and its owners Losoon Park and Mili “Terry” Kim were issued nine citations for various labor violations including failure to pay wages, pay minimum wage and overtime, furnish and keep true and accurate payroll records, issue a suitable paystub, provide earned sick time, obtain a valid work permit for working teens, and for the employment of a minor past 8:00 p.m. without supervision. Park and Kim operate several Korean food stores located in Burlington and local Simon Malls in the North Shore area. 

The AG’s Office began investigating the company after receiving a complaint from a driver working for Losoon Park, alleging that they were not properly compensated for hours worked at the required minimum wage, or paid for overtime hours worked. The office issued a payroll demand to the company, however, Losoon Park has not furnished all required records, including payroll records and time-keeping records, requiring investigators to rely on employee testimony to audit the company.  

The AG’s Fair Labor Division found that Losoon Park frequently failed to pay employees for hours worked. Employees were also not offered earned sick leave or provided suitable paystubs. Additionally, the AG’s investigation uncovered that at least two minors worked past 8 p.m. without supervision, and that neither minor employee had been asked for a work permit prior to or during their employment.  

Workers who believe that their rights have been violated in their workplace are encouraged to file a complaint at www.mass.gov/ago/fairlabor. For information about the state’s wage and hour laws, workers may call the AG’s Fair Labor Hotline at (617) 727-3465 or go to www.mass.gov/ago/fairlabor for materials in multiple languages including Spanish and Portuguese. 

This case was handled by Assistant Attorney General Amy Goyer and Supervising Investigator Jennifer Pak, both of the AG’s Fair Labor Division.
