9月份的波士頓華埠居民會，由於黃國威、Kate DeBeul這2位共同主席都請假，會議由華人前進會組織員鄺寶蓮主持。

波士頓A-1區警察黃天輝（Frank Wong）在會中報告了Ｘ宗案件。

8月17日，乞臣街（Hudson）97號居民家有包裹被人偷走了。受害者查看監視錄影後發現，是隔壁鄰居偷的。

9月1日下午4點15分，夏利臣街（Harrison Ave.）288號的博愛樓發生一宗疑似神智不清女子，擅闖大樓，摸進一戶大門未關民宅，在屋內東走西走，甚至疑似要洗個澡。當警察抵達時，該名女子坐在浴室的地板上，看起來像似受藥物影響，精神不清醒。警察當場捉著他，送往醫院評估。並非大樓居民的該名女子已因非法入侵罪被法院傳喚，結果如何還有待查知。

黃天輝表示，這是一個很好的案例，提醒住在公寓大樓的居民們，出入小心，別讓陌生人跟隨在自己身後，進入大樓，也別以為大樓內都是鄰居，就不關自家大門。應凡事小心，避免類似情況發生在自己身上。

華埠土地信託會主任駱理德代表該會，以鄰居身份表達擔憂排屋結構受損。

另一宗案件發生在乞臣街14號，8月21日凌晨3點20分，一名嫌犯走到唐朝餐廳門口，想要開門進入，但是大門打不開，於是他繞到大樓側邊，拉扯撬門，然後從側門進入，直接走到收銀機那兒，偷走了裡面的現金和信用卡。警察從監視錄影上已掌握到嫌犯影像，並交給了警探處理，跟進調查。

坦承自己經營房地產公司的Armia Azadian表示，他有翻修後自己住進去的想法。

8月23日凌晨一點，受害者從華埠往大同村方向走，準備回家，要進屋時，一名黑人男子靠近他，講了一些很不尋常的種族歧視語句，受害人於是轉身要走開，沒想到嫌犯竟邊罵邊掏出疑似槍枝的物件出來。受害人趕緊跑開，還打了911電話，只是當警察趕到現場時，見到受害人，但是找不到嫌犯。受害人說嫌犯是往南端(South End)方向逃跑的。警察將把此案交給民權小組警察去調查。

黃天輝強調，警察局有翻譯，也有幾名會講中文的警察，民眾報警，不必擔心言語不通，另外打911電話也都有翻譯服務。

尊尼閣7號業主李先生表示因為鄰居房屋的問題，他已收過好幾張罰單。

鄺寶蓮接著表示，居民們投訴，華埠鼠患猖獗，希望大家不要拿糧食或飯粒，撒在地上的餵食鳥雀，以免吸引老鼠，海鷗翻撿垃圾。希望相關單位能製作中文告示牌，提醒民眾、遊客。

華埠土地信託會主任駱理德建議，由華埠居民會出面邀請波士頓是公共工程局，稽查局(ISD)等單位派人出席華埠居民會月例會，聆聽民眾意見，商議解決問題辦法。尤其是Maple Place，尊尼閣（Johnny Court），溫莎餅家一帶，有人直接把垃圾袋丟在街邊，不丟進垃圾桶的情況很嚴重，也有人亂丟床墊，舊傢俱等等。

            尊尼閣9號屋主Armia Azadian帶同建築師Timothy Burke到會，向居民說明，他在大約1年半以前，買下這棟已丟空至少10年的排屋，目前打算翻修，並在房屋後面加蓋，以美化房屋。他自己也打算將來搬進去住。

                  建築師Timothy Burke表示，去年他們就向波士頓區域規劃上訴委員會(ZBA)申請翻修，並獲批准，現在因為考慮在樓後加蓋，增加一個睡房，拆掉現有的壁爐，並整修整棟樓宇的外觀，所以需要另外再申請批准。新的翻修計劃將為這棟排屋增加額外空間，目前的想法是翻修成有兩戶三睡房單位，但如果社區希望有更多單位，他們可以考慮改建成有三至四戶。

                  出席居民有人問，現有的房屋內是否有危險材質，翻修是否會對周遭社區有影響，得做些什麼來防止危險等。

                  華埠土地信託會主任駱理德表示，該會擁有尊尼閣3號，會場還有尊尼閣7號業主李先生，他們都很擔心，如果9號業主把地下室的樓層高度向下降低，會損害建築結構，影響到整排樓宇其他房屋的安全。他們希望知道，9號業主有沒做穩固地基工程，尤其是這地區已經面對著地下水造成的地基下陷問題。

                  Timothy Burke表示，這些樓宇都是建造在有20到30英尺深的木樁之上，目前的計劃只是把地下室樓層降低12英寸，不會暴露木樁，所以只是微小改變。

                  尊尼閣7號業主李先生表示，整排5棟房屋共用一條防火巷，防火梯，下水道，無論那棟房屋做些什麼，其他房屋肯定會受影響。他記得以前也有人提供類似的翻修建議，但沒貨批准，他不明白，怎麼會又出現加蓋申請。

                  Armia Azadian則指出，5棟排屋中，有一棟已經在後面加蓋，他們將基本上照那個方式加蓋，希望能讓屋內的居住面積容許更好品質的生活。

                  出席者中有2名專業城市設計及建築的女子，也分別提出問題。屋主最後表示將和駱理德，尊尼閣7號業主等鄰居進一步溝通。

麻州有錢人多半住在後灣區 02116

        (Boston Orange 編譯) 麻州的有錢人都住在哪兒？波士頓商業雜誌（Boston Business Journal）今（4）日公佈一份區域號碼排行榜，指後灣區（Back Bay）最富裕。

            新數據顯示，整體而論，麻州最富裕區域是大波士頓。

            分析發現，在最富裕的10個區域號碼中，一戶典型住家的價值超過88萬元。那幾乎是在Zillow上住家價值指數全國平均值的兩倍。在後灣區和布魯克蘭區（Brookline），典型的住宅價格，超過110萬元。

            南端（South End）儘管在富裕區域排行榜上名列第二，卻同時有著24%以上的貧窮率，彰顯了這一社區內長期以來的貧富差距。想反的，查理士城（Charlestown）在10個最富裕區域號碼中，貧窮率最低，僅略高於6%。

            Dover在波士頓商業雜誌2024年的最昂貴區域號碼排行榜上名列第一，但那時的分析沒把今年的許多數據包括進去。今年有許多區域號碼的排名也和最昂貴豪華住宅的區域號碼排行榜相重疊。值得注意的是，波士頓的金融區和海港區—一些最高成本豪華公寓開發案的所在地—在最新排名中並未名列前茅。

            並不是所有最富裕區域號碼都座落在波士頓市。阿靈頓就排名第八，劍橋市也有許多區塊排名第6、9、10。

            在波士頓市以外，同樣佔據主要地位的有牛頓村瓦班（Newton village Waban）排名第11位，牛頓維爾（Newtonville）排名第12位。

            排名前三的區域號碼為，02116， 02118 ，02446。

Healey-Driscoll Administration Awards Nearly $3 Million in Adult Education and Workforce Training Grants

Healey-Driscoll Administration Awards Nearly $3 Million in Adult Education and Workforce Training Grants 

Funds help over 600 residents gain the language skills they need to succeed in in-demand jobs, connect to career pathways, and fully participate in the state’s economy 

 

EVERETT – The Healey-Driscoll Administration announced today that they have awarded $2.86 million in grants to 24 community organizations, public schools and higher education institutions to enable over 600 adult learners to learn English, earn a high school credential, or earn industry-recognized credentials this school year in areas such as advanced manufacturing, healthcare, information technology and more.  

These grants fund MassSTEP programs, which provide concurrent adult education, workforce preparation activities, and workforce training in in-demand industries. The programs create partnerships among education providers, occupational skills training providers, employers, and workforce partners, and focus on setting adult learners up for success in high wage/high demand career pathways. 

“By offering high quality adult education instruction simultaneously with rigorous occupational skills training, we’re helping more students be ready to gain employment in occupations that pay family-sustaining wages,” said Governor Maura Healey. “Grants like these are a win for our students, workforce and state economy.” 

“Adult education programs help families and our economy succeed. We are pleased to award these grants, continuing critical models that tie education and workforce together in support of families’ economic mobility and reflect current in-demand jobs,” said Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll.  

Guided by state’s workforce agenda to attract, retain, and develop talent, providers of adult education and English for speakers of other languages (ESOL) classes collaborate with local MassHire Workforce Board and Career Centers on recruitment, career services and job placement activities. Through these collaborations, the MassSTEP programs focus on career pathways identified in priority occupations through local Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act (WIOA) plans. 

“These grants will help hundreds of Massachusetts residents strengthen their English skills, gain confidence, and open doors to good jobs in high demand industries,” said Education Secretary Dr. Patrick Tutwiler. “This investment is about equity, empowerment, and ensuring everyone can contribute to and share in our state’s economic success.” 

“These programs are often marketed to the parents of children in our K-12 schools. The programs offer adults the opportunity to earn a high school credential, acquire English language skills and earn an industry-recognized credential,” said Elementary and Secondary Education Commissioner Pedro Martinez. 

“This grant funding reflects the administration’s priorities outlined in the state’s workforce agenda and shared across the Workforce Skills Cabinet,” said Labor and Workforce Development Secretary Lauren Jones. “MassSTEP combines education and training resources, helping to reduce barriers to employment and closing the skills gap among our untapped talent ready to work in Massachusetts.”  

These grants are part of the administration’s strategic workforce development investments to remove barriers to employment for work-authorized individuals and connect them with jobs and training in sectors such as health care and human services, hospitality, and manufacturing. The administration’s Workforce Skills Cabinet is working to create a coordinated statewide ESOL strategy, in addition to securing $10 million in state dollars to expand access to workforce training programs for 3,000-3,500 residents and to reduce the waitlist for ESOL services.  

“These grants will provide life-changing educational opportunities for adult learners,” said House Speaker Ronald J. Mariano (D-Quincy). “I’m proud of the investments the Commonwealth has made in support of this vital program, and thank all the grantees, including Quincy Community Action Programs for their strong record of delivering adult education, job training, and family supports that help residents succeed in the classroom and beyond.” 

“I’m thrilled the Healey-Driscoll administration, in partnership with the Legislature, has allocated $2.86 million in critical adult education and workforce training grants. These highly impactful grants will help prepare individuals to meet the skill set requirements that industries like health care, hospitality, and manufacturing centers across the Commonwealth specialize in. These job training grants to Bristol Community College, the Bristol Sheriff’s Office, and UMASS Dartmouth will greatly assist constituents of my district to stand ready to meet the demands of an ever-changing global economy,” said Senator Michael J. Rodrigues (D-Westport), Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means.   

“These grants will enable many more adults to receive a high-quality education in English and in in-demand fields which will help employers find qualified employees and help people to support their families,” said Senator Jason Lewis, Senate Chair of the Joint Committee on Education. “Thank you to the Healey administration for continuing to support adult education and other initiatives that help build up our workforce.” 

“This is a win-win situation,” said Ken Gordon (D-Bedford), House Chair of the Joint Committee on Education. “It is good for our students, for our workers, for our employers and therefore for our overall economy.  It is an example of how the government can be there to provide help where most needed.”

Governor Healey Announces Immediate Steps to Ensure Vaccine Availability in Massachusetts Amid Trump, RFK Rollbacks

Governor Healey Announces Immediate Steps to Ensure Vaccine Availability in Massachusetts Amid Trump, RFK Rollbacks 

Healey Administration takes first-of-its-kind action to guarantee insurance coverage of vaccines recommended by the state 

BOSTON – Governor Maura Healey today announced a series of immediate measures to ensure that vaccines remain available to Massachusetts residents of all ages, while President Donald Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. restrict access to vaccines and make cuts to public health across the country. 

“Massachusetts has the best health care in the world,” said Governor Healey. “We won’t let Donald Trump and Robert Kennedy get between patients and their doctors. When the federal government fails to protect public health, Massachusetts will step up. The actions we are announcing today will make sure people can continue to get the vaccines they need and want in Massachusetts.” 

Today, the Governor announced three steps to protect vaccine access in Massachusetts. 

First, at Governor Healey’s direction, the Division of Insurance (DOI) and Department of Public Health (DPH) issued a bulletin that requires insurance carriers in Massachusetts to continue to cover vaccines recommended by DPH and not rely solely on CDC recommendations. Massachusetts is the first state in the nation to guarantee insurance coverage of vaccines recommended by the state. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts and the Massachusetts Association of Health Plans all support this action. This will ensure that Massachusetts residents can afford the vaccines they need and want to keep themselves and others healthy, even if the federal government issues narrower recommendations. These include respiratory virus vaccines, like COVID, flu and RSV, and routine vaccines for children, like measles, chickenpox, and Hepatitis B. This action follows legislation filed by Governor Healey last month that would give DPH authority to set independent standards for vaccine purchasing and recommendations. 

“We are so fortunate to live in Massachusetts where we prioritize science and support patients,” said Secretary of Health and Human Services Kiame Mahaniah, MD, MBA. “With Governor Healey's leadership and collaboration between DPH and DOI, those who want to get vaccinated will be able to without added cost or confusion because of decisions made at the federal level.” 

“As an infectious disease physician, I have seen the extraordinary impact vaccines have had in saving lives and preventing serious illness. Limiting access to vaccines is not just shortsighted – it is reckless,” said Public Health Commissioner Robbie Goldstein, MD, PhD. “Massachusetts will not allow ideology to override evidence. We must continue to be guided by science and data. And we must do what is right, even when it is hard, because protecting public health is not optional, it is a responsibility – a promise – we make to every resident of our Commonwealth. Today we are keeping that promise.” 

“Today’s action ensures that everyone who should get a vaccine will get one and their insurance will cover it,” said Insurance Commissioner Michael Caljouw. “Our collective commitment – state government working with our health insurance companies – is important as we enter the fall season.” 

Second, Governor Healey’s administration has also taken steps to ensure that Massachusetts residents who want to receive the COVID vaccine can do so at pharmacies. Last week, it was reported that CVS and Walgreens could not offer the COVID vaccine in multiple states, including Massachusetts, because the federal government was no longer recommending it for adults. In response, DPH Commissioner Dr. Robbie Goldstein issued a standing order to allow pharmacies to continue to provide COVID vaccines to Massachusetts residents aged five and older. Children under five can receive the vaccine through their pediatrician. Additionally, this morning, DPH updated its vaccine administration policy to permit the DPH Commissioner to determine which routine vaccines can be administered by pharmacists in Massachusetts, instead of limiting them only to vaccines recommended by the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). As a result of these actions, CVS and Walgreens are working to make COVID vaccine appointments available in Massachusetts as soon as possible. 

Third, under Governor Healey’s leadership, Massachusetts is also leading efforts to create a public health collaboration with states in New England and across the Northeast committed to safeguarding public health as the federal government backs away from its responsibilities. This multi-state collaborative is focused on developing evidence-based recommendations on vaccinations, disease surveillance, emergency preparedness and supporting state public health labs. 

Healey-Driscoll Administration Wins $6 Million for Registered Apprenticeship

Healey-Driscoll Administration Wins $6 Million for Registered Apprenticeship 

Funding will support 275 early childhood educator apprenticeships 

BOSTON – The Healey-Driscoll Administration announced today that the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development’s Division of Apprentice Standards (DAS) has been awarded more than $6 million from the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) to support Registered Apprenticeship and early childhood educator apprenticeships. This award builds on the Healey-Driscoll Administration’s commitment to expand Registered Apprenticeship, a proven workforce strategy that combines technical and on-the-job training for workers, delivers industry-recognized credentials, and increases access to progressive wage increases and good-paying jobs.  

The Division was awarded two grants, a formula grant for $1,008,964 to support the Registered Apprenticeship program and a competitive grant for $5 million to support 275 early childhood educator apprenticeships. The competitive grant is the largest grant the apprenticeship program has received to date.  

For the $5 million competitive grant, DAS will engage with projects that seek to provide incentive funding to new and existing employers to rapidly scale early childhood education Registered Apprenticeship Programs, as well as create a Technical Assistance Hub for early childhood education apprenticeships. Additionally, identified projects will partner with Massachusetts community colleges to develop an early childhood education pre-apprenticeship program for high school students.  

“Our administration is committed to expanding Registered Apprenticeship to support business growth, create a stronger workforce, and strengthen our economic competitiveness across Massachusetts,” said Governor Maura Healey. “These grants will provide funding to rapidly scale childhood education Registered Apprenticeship programs and help lower the cost of child care in the state.”  

“Registered Apprenticeship is a proven workforce development model that we have been expanding,” said Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll. “These grants will help us not only achieve our goals but further our efforts and reach even more individuals and businesses.”

Through the USDOL, State Apprenticeship Expansion Formula grants support states to engage industry partners, create post-secondary education career pathways and develop the talent pipeline needed to meet the skill needs of their local labor markets. The investments are part of the third round of State Apprenticeship Expansion Formula funding the department has awarded. The State Apprenticeship Expansion Competitive grant will help support the launch, scaling, and sustainability of early childhood educator apprenticeships statewide, with an emphasis on “child care deserts” in the state.  

“The Healey-Driscoll Administration is focused on expanding pathways for untapped talent to pursue meaningful careers and Registered Apprenticeship is a proven model to achieve this goal,” said Labor and Workforce Development Secretary Lauren Jones. “As we scale Registered Apprenticeship to build the workforce among early childhood educators, we have registered 269 apprentices in this field and this grant position Massachusetts for building on this momentum to meet as we increase access to affordable, quality child care in Massachusetts.”  

Expanding registered apprenticeship for early childhood education is a priority among the Administration’s “whole of government” Early Education and Child Care Task Force recommendations. The Division of Apprentice Standards and the Department of Early Education and Care have work collaboratively over the past year to engage and scale registered apprenticeship. 

“Through Governor Healey’s Child Care Task Force, we have been working to support job seekers passionate about early childhood education to gain the skills and experience they need to join the field and meet their economic mobility goals. We have made progress, increasing educator compensation by almost 20%, reducing the number of vacant positions, adding more child care seats and opening more programs. This $6 million investment will accelerate this work, helping us to continue reducing child care costs for families and strengthening the early education and care workforce,” said Education Secretary Dr. Patrick Tutwiler. 

“This record investment in apprenticeship is a game-changer for early childhood education employers in Massachusetts,” said Undersecretary Josh Cutler. “With these funds, we can partner with providers to launch and expand registered apprenticeship programs that strengthen their workforce, stabilize staffing, and ensure more families have access to high-quality care.” 

“Early education and care apprenticeships provide practical, hands-on experience and a clear career pathway — allowing participants to learn while earning,” said Department of Early Education and Care Commissioner Amy Kershaw. “This grant will help grow and strengthen the Commonwealth’s commitment to the early education and care workforce while ensuring greater access to high-quality learning experiences for children and their families.” 

"Apprenticeships are hands-on experiences that help people build careers and strengthen our workforce,” Senate President Karen E. Spilka (D-Ashland). “Few people work harder than early childhood educators, and I know these dollars will be put to good use creating new opportunities and making a positive impact for families and businesses across Massachusetts." 

Massachusetts is recognized in scaling apprenticeship as an innovative workforce strategy in expansion industries, and the Healey-Driscoll Administration has prioritized registered apprenticeship to address the state’s ongoing need for skilled labor and build a robust talent pipeline for future workforce needs. The investments not only support the immediate needs of employers, but also foster long-term economic growth by providing individuals with the skills necessary for high-demand occupations.  

The Healey-Driscoll Administration’s efforts include expanding apprenticeships in fields such as education, healthcare, manufacturing, clean energy, and life sciences. As a result of these, since January 2023, the Division of Apprentice Standards has: 

• Leveraged state and federal funds to award more than $10 million in apprenticeship grants. 

• On track to register more than 10,000 by the end of the year 

• Registered 1,927 new apprentices in expanded industries 

• Registered 269 new apprenticeship programs 

• Expanded registered apprenticeship tax credit (RATC) to industries like clean energy and approved $480,000 in registered apprenticeship tax credits to employers who hired 100 apprentices, more than double the number in previous years 

• Reestablished the Apprenticeship Council
