        (Boston Orange周菊子昆士市報導)紐英崙至孝篤親公所(GHOT)5月31日晚假昆士市龍鳳酒樓設宴,慶祝陳定良(Cary Chin)升任波士頓警察局情報分析局(BIA)副總監,成為繼GHOT副主席陳孔恩(Jame K. Chin)之後,又一名擠身波士頓警察局高管的陳氏宗親。

波士頓警察局是個有員工約2700人,分七個局處的機構,高層人數相當有限,在亞裔僅佔全體員工2%下,陳孔恩於2018年當上副總監,2022年再升任社區參與總監後,如今2026年,又有陳定良升任情報分析局副總監,著實難得。

            至孝篤親公所主席陳秀珍和副主席陳孔恩為慶祝宗親這難得殊遇,特地設宴,邀集陳胡袁三姓宗親和僑界朋友共200多人,以「步步高升」蛋糕,祝賀陳定良更上一層樓。

           陳秀珍稱讚陳定良沈著穩定,待人有禮,懂得分寸,是年輕人的楷模,宗親的驕傲。陳孔恩說自己和陳定良當年一起從巡警起步,彼此扶持,迄今近30年,這交情非比尋常。

        陳定良從波士頓市長吳弭的代表手中領得表揚狀之後,致詞時周到的感謝吳弭市長,至孝篤親公所宗親,波士頓警察局同仁等所有人,笑說自己升任副總監是締造歷史,因為在波士頓警察局高層指揮官中,從來沒有同時出現過2名亞裔。

       陳定良指出,他得以有如今的際遇,最要感謝陳毓禮和吳弭市長。

       陳毓禮在他還是小孩子時,就勉勵他要勤奮努力,為宗族,社區爭光。吳弭當選市長後,陳毓禮又把他引介給吳弭市長擔任安全隨員,給了他機會見識更多場面,也讓他的認真被市長看見,博得信任。

        陳毓禮的姊姊阮陳金鳳,以及兒子陳孟君,這晚都在場,聽到陳定良提及陳毓禮的說詞,都感到格外寬慰。

        陳定良透露,過去這4年多,無論是一大清早或深夜,吳弭市長到哪兒,他就跟著到哪兒,雖然不敢說辛苦,卻也的確風塵僕僕,以後則是坐辦公室工作了。

         在波士頓警察局的歷史中,第一個當上副總監,總監的華人,其實是已經退休了的梅志強(Kenneth Fong),2005年升任外勤局(Bureau of Field Services)副總監,之後升任專業標準局總監,並在當了33年警察後,已於2020年6月19日退休。

        全美舜裔篤親總公所元老陳建立,也為陳定良作詩祝賀:「至孝篤親陳胡袁,榮升警務副總裁,定市安州人景仰,良善心謙大家來,宗族和諧紐英崙,官途磨練上高枱,華人歷史你和我,龍鳳歡宴最心開。」

        (Boston Orange 周菊子麻州報導)5月31日傍晚的大波士頓,下雨,氣溫陡降至華氏50多度,波克萊台灣商會(BTCC)在Wakefield舉辦的「亞太裔傳統月」社區交流特別活動,卻在麻州眾議員阮簪(Tram Nguyen)的激昂分享中很溫暖。其中有年輕出席者甚至有點激動的探問融合之道。

波克萊台灣商會會長陳冠中表示,這是一場輕鬆的社區聚會,請長期支持台灣的麻州眾議員阮簪,分享她從移民家庭一路走進公共服務與政治領域的故事。

台灣人公共事務會(FAPA)副會長鍾佳君和該會成員王安雅也專程出席,感謝阮簪發起,促成麻州眾議會簽署決議文,宣佈2026年5月10日至17日為「台裔美國人傳統週」。

根據歷史資料,美國國會從2010年以後,已有15年未簽署過「台裔美國人傳統週」決議文,但在台灣人公共事務會推動下,今年不但在5月13日有美國國會提案了一份(H. Res. 1280)跨黨派決議文,全美50州中,也有包括麻州在內27個州的州長簽署了「台裔美國人傳統週」決議文。

麻州眾議會由阮簪和陳德基以亞裔核心小組議員身份發起簽署的這份「台裔美國人傳統週」決議文,更是特殊,很可能是麻州眾議會簽署的第一份「台裔美國人傳統週」決議文,而且還標榜了「台美關係法」47週年。

麻州眾議會「台裔美國人傳統週」決議文。
2019年當選麻州眾議員,並連任迄今,刻正競選麻州第六選區國會眾議員席位的阮簪(Tram Nguyen)在聚會中簡述了她的個人經歷,直言從1852年以來,還未曾誕生過第一代移民聯邦國會議員,希望亞裔社區能集結助力,攜手打破這已持續174年的紀錄。

阮簪 5 歲時以政治難民身分隨家人逃離越南,曾長期住在公屋(Public Housing),後來從塔芙茨大學(Tufts)畢業,取得東北大學法學院法律博士學位, 2024 年再取得哈佛大學甘迺迪政府學院(Harvard Kennedy School)公共管理碩士。

        步入政壇前,阮簪在大波士頓法律服務機構(Greater Boston Legal Services)擔任公益律師,幫助低薪勞工與家暴受害者伸張正義,儘管薪資低至僅四萬餘元,但為使命奉獻所收穫的助人為樂滿足感,後來促使她參選,並於 2018 年擊敗立場極右的共和黨在位議員。

麻州州長Maura Healey也在五月初簽署了
「台裔美國人傳統週」決議文。
         阮簪目前的競爭對手包括曾任美國交通部長幕僚長及白宮秘書,募款能力超強,已募得300多萬元的韓裔高丹尼(Dan Koh),以及金融科技公司創辦人,手握 200 多萬美元現金個人資產的貝奇亞(John Beccia)等至少6人。

        阮簪坦言,她目前的累計募集約 43 萬美元,數額雖然不大,但有 80% 以上來自麻州在地的 1,100 多個人小額捐款者,打的草根選戰,但也因此,他需要更多人支持。

在聚會中,BTCC會長陳冠中和郭競儒,楊羅東,陳玉瑛,劉秀春,李孟潔等BTCC歷任前會長,商會理事王豫靈,王叔嬿,以及北一女校友會前會長吳杏玫等人提了不少問題。波士頓僑教中心主任高家富也出席了活動。阮簪一一回覆,更直言這些問題彰顯了國會中需要更多亞裔聲音的現實。(訂正版)

波士頓體育會10K馬拉松賽訂6/21舉行 90餘傑出跑者參加

Boston Champions Ready to Race at 2026 B.A.A. 10K presented by Mass General Brigham Cancer Institute

BOSTON, MA (01 June) – The Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) announced today that champions and top international stars will take to the roads of Boston and Cambridge for the 2026 B.A.A. 10K presented by Mass General Brigham Cancer Instituteon Sunday, June 21. Headlining the field is two-time Boston Marathon presented by Bank of America champion Sharon Lokedi, fresh off a victory at April’s Patriots’ Day event.

“This year’s B.A.A. 10K will kick off the summer racing season, and brings together more than 90 of the most accomplished athletes in the sport,” said Mary Kate Shea, B.A.A. Chief Operating Officer. “Top athletes across the Open, Wheelchair, and Para Athletics Divisions from 21 countries will lead the way for a field of 10,000 participants on race day.” 

Kenya’s Lokedi enters the B.A.A. 10K as defending champion, having covered the 6.2-mile course that spans Boston and Cambridge in 31:39 last year. This will be her first race back following her victory at the 130th Boston Marathon in 2:18:51 – the second fastest winning time in Boston Marathon history (only behind her 2:17:22 course record from 2025).

"Boston holds a special place in my heart, and I look forward to running through the city once again in June at the B.A.A. 10K," said Lokedi. "From the 10K to the Boston Marathon, the community comes alive every race day. I'm ready to give my best to defend my title.”

Facing off against Lokedi in the women’s field is top American Rachel Smith, runner-up at the Boston 5K in April and a 2021 Olympian. From Kenya are Gladys Kwamboka, the 2025 African champion at 10,000m, Stacy Ndiwa, B.A.A. 10K runner-up in 2023, and Viola Cheptoo, second at the 2019 Boston 5K. British Olympian Jessica Warner-Judd is also entered. 

The professional men’s field represents 13 countries and features familiar and first-time faces to Boston. Ethiopia’s Dawit Seare, the 2025 Boston 5K champion, comes in with the fastest 10K in the field, having run 27:21. From Kenya are Alexander Mutiso, the 2024 London Marathon champion and runner-up at the TCS New York City Marathon last fall, as well as Patrick Kiprop, fifth place at April’s Boston 5K and winner of the BolderBoulder 10K on Memorial Day. Alex Masai (KEN), ninth at April’s Boston Marathon in 2:05:32, has finished in the top ten at the B.A.A. 10K three times.

South African Olympian Adriaan Wildschutt makes his B.A.A. 10K debut after a strong winter season where he won the NYC Half in 59:30 and placed 13th at the World Cross Country Championships. From Ethiopia is Hagos Gebrhiwet, an Olympic bronze medalist and two-time winner of the B.A.A. 5K, while Canadian Andrew Alexander enters after claiming the national 10K title on May 23. Also in the field is two-time U.S. Olympian Hillary Bor, a steeplechase specialist who has converted to the roads and placed second at the U.S. Half Marathon championships this year, as well as 2:05:46 marathoner Ryan Ford and reigning USA 25K national champion Andrew Colley.

A trifecta of B.A.A. runners enter after winning the Boston Marathon team title: Murphy Smith (2:08:58), Robert Miranda(2:09:40), and Barry Keane (2:13:01) are hometown favorites coming off a memorable 26.2-miles and train under B.A.A. coach and two-time Olympian Mark Carroll. 

In the wheelchair race, both B.A.A. 10K defending champions return in Daniel Romanchuk and Tatyana McFadden. Between the pair are seven Boston Marathon wins. Romanchuk holds the 10K event record (20:17) while McFadden won the Boston 5K last month. Joining them in the field are Delmace Mayo, the fastest Bostonian from the 2026 Boston Marathon; Hermin Garic, a three-time winner from 2022-2024; Tony Nogueira, winner of five straight B.A.A. 10Ks from 2014-2018; as well as Yen Hoang and Hoda Elshorbagy, winners in 2023 and 2024 from the University of Illinois. 

Mass.-native Brian Reynolds (T42-T44/T61-T64, lower limb impairment) set a T62 10K world record of 38:40 last year and returns with hopes to lower his mark in the Para Athletics Division. Also back are Para champions Atsbha Gebremeskel (T45-T47, upper limb impairment) and Cristina Burbach (T35-T38, coordination impairment). Among the winners from April’s Boston Marathon taking to the B.A.A. 10K are Marko Cheseto Lemtukei (T42-T44/T61-T64), Kelly Bruno (T42-T44/T61-T64), and Burbach.

Complete professional field lists can be found below and at www.baa.org.

The B.A.A. 10K presented by Mass General Brigham Cancer Institute will be the second event of the 2026 B.A.A. Distance Medley presented by Honda, a year-long series featuring the Boston 5K (April), B.A.A. 10K (June), and Boston Half (November). Media members interested in covering the B.A.A. 10K may apply for credentials here.

The race begins at 8:00 a.m. on Sunday, June 21, starting on Charles Street and finishing adjacent to Boston Common (course map available here). The course winds through Boston and Cambridge along the Charles River, crossing the Longfellow and Mass. Ave. bridges and passes over the iconic Boston Marathon finish line on Boylston Street. A total of 10,000 athletes will take part in the B.A.A. 10K.

Mass General Brigham Cancer Institute, the B.A.A. 10K’s presenting sponsor and exclusive fundraising partner, will again field a team of fundraising runners. Since 2016, more than 2,500 runners and 180 teams have raised $1.5 million to fuel life-giving breakthroughs through the B.A.A. 10K.
