Governor Baker Signs Bill naming Cruiseport Boston in Honor of Former Mayor Ray Flynn

Governor Baker Signs Bill naming Cruiseport Boston in Honor of Former Mayor Ray Flynn

BOSTON, MA – Governor Charlie Baker today signed legislation naming the Massachusetts Port Authority’s Cruiseport Boston in honor of Raymond L. Flynn, former Mayor of Boston and United States Ambassador to the Vatican. 

“Mayor Flynn has answered the call to represent both the people of Boston and the United States throughout his career and private life,” said Governor Charlie Baker.“He is the epitome of what a public servant should be, always a consummate professional, and a dedicated family man. It gives me great pride to sign legislation that will ensure Mayor Flynn’s legacy is honored in his native South Boston forever.”

“The Port of Boston first welcomed millions of our immigrant families to America,”said Ray Flynn, former Mayor of Boston and United States Ambassador to the Vatican. “It is where our military troops arrived home from war, and a place that helped build a strong maritime economy and created millions of jobs for hard working Americans. They are the people we honor today and I'm proud that my name will forever be part of this remarkable American story.”

“A proud son of South Boston, Ambassador Flynn’s connection to the Port of Boston runs deep,” said Congressman Stephen F. Lynch (D- Boston). “From his time as Longshoreman to his years as Mayor, Ray Flynn was passionate about growing the maritime industry and helping the Port achieve record-breaking success. Ambassador Flynn’s ongoing work and proud legacy will be forever honored in his beloved South Boston as we rename the Cruiseport the Flynn Cruiseport Boston.”

“Ray Flynn worked on the waterfront for years as a longshoreman, as did his father and brothers,” said Representative Nick Collins (D – South Boston).  “While a state representative for South Boston, he led the House’s Boston Harbor Cleanup Committee and oversaw one of the most important and successful environmental efforts in our state’s history. Renaming the Cruiseport in his honor is a fitting tribute to his years of dedicated service and his commitment to helping make the South Boston waterfront the urban oasis that it is today.”

“What a suitable tribute that the Cruiseport located in South Boston will be known as The Raymond L. Flynn Cruiseport at Black Falcon Terminal,” said State Senator Linda Dorcena Forry (D – Dorchester). “As a son of South Boston, Ambassador Flynn served as Mayor, City Councilor and State Representative and dedicated his life to public service.”

波士頓市長宣布週四至週六為熱浪緊急期

MAYOR WALSH DECLARES HEAT EMERGENCY EFFECTIVE THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY 

BOSTON - Wednesday, August 10, 2016 - With temperatures expected to reach or exceed 90 degrees for the next several days, Mayor Martin J. Walsh today declared a heat emergency in Boston effective tomorrow.  Boston Centers for Youth & Families (BCYF) will be open for use as cooling centers for the public to use beginning on Thursday. A full list of centers including hours of operation is available here.


The Mayor issued the following heat safety tips for all members of the public:

• Adults and children should use sunscreen containing an SPF-15 or higher and wear protective, loose fitting clothing, including long sleeve shirts and hats.
   
• The elderly, young children and those with chronic medical conditions, especially respiratory conditions, are more susceptible to the effects of heat.
   
• Check in on the elderly and family or neighbors who may be at risk of heat exhaustion or heatstroke as temperatures climb.
   
• Children and pets should never be left alone in vehicles, even for short periods of times.
   
• If you become lightheaded, confused, weak or faint, stop all activity and immediately find shade or a cool area to rest. If symptoms persist, call 911 immediately.
   
• Limit outdoor activity to morning and evening hours. Rest often in shady areas and be extra cautious from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., when the sun's UV radiation is strongest.
   
• Drink plenty of fluids regardless of activity level. Avoid alcoholic beverages and liquids high in sugar or caffeine.
   
• Homeless individuals can become dehydrated rapidly due to a lack of access to water or shelter from the heat. If you observe someone who appears to be in distress, call 911 immediately.
   
• If you have a child in your home, use child window guards in addition to screens on any open window on the second story or above. Falls are the leading cause of injury for children under the age of six. Information about low-cost window guards for Boston residents can be found here.
   
• Secure all window air conditioner units according to the manufacturer's specifications.
   

Playground Safety:  

Children should always wear shoes on playgrounds because surfaces can become extremely hot and cause burns, even splash pads and spray decks.

Outdoor Fires and Grilling:

No outdoor fires are allowed in Boston, including fire pits, chimineas and bonfires.

Charcoal grills must be on the ground and away from buildings. Keep in mind the wind and never leave unattended. When done, dispose of the ash in a metal container once completely out.

Propane tank grills are only allowed on first floor porches with steps to the ground. Do not place propane tank grills near air conditioners or up against a building. Make sure all connections are tight and never carry propane tanks into a home.

Grills should always be used in a well-ventilated area.

Mosquitoes and Ticks:

If you are in a grassy or wooded area, apply a DEET containing repellent that will protect against mosquitoes AND ticks. Always check yourself, children and pets for ticks after returning indoors and remove attached ticks immediately using tweezers. Mosquito bites can spread West Nile virus (WNV) and Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), while attached ticks can spread Lyme disease.

Wear long sleeve shirts, long pants and socks to prevent mosquito bites. Limit your time outdoors between dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active and apply an approved mosquito repellent.

To prevent mosquitoes from breeding, residents should limit places around the home where standing water can collect.  People should turn over unused flower pots, buckets, wheelbarrows, and garbage cans; remove leaves and other debris that can clog gutters and trap water; dispose of or cover old tires; and cover swimming pools when not in use.
