Mayor Walsh Welcomes 2015 ONEin3 Council

Members poised to inspire civic leadership among Boston’s young adults

BOSTON – On Monday, Mayor Martin J. Walsh welcomed the newly selected Mayor's ONEin3 Council to City Hall. The diverse 37-member group will spend the next 12 months working with the City on projects aimed at maximizing the talents of Boston's 20-34 year old demographic, which is one third of the City's total population.  

“In Boston, we have the highest proportion of young adults of any major U.S city,” said Mayor Walsh. “The ONEin3 council selection serves as an annual reminder that this demographic comprises some of the city’s most civic minded citizens. By making Boston a more inviting place to live, work, and play, ONEin3 will help these innovators, opinion leaders, and entrepreneurs move on to become civically engaged residents and neighbors.”

The Mayor’s ONEin3 Council, which is supported by the Boston Redevelopment Authority, serves as a direct link between young adults and city officials. The Council is an action-oriented group tasked with brainstorming, creating, and carrying out projects that directly impact the lives of Boston's 20-34 year-olds. Projects may include work on housing policy, professional development, economic development, and civic and neighborhood engagement.

The ONEin3 Council received more than 320 applications this year, showing a sustained interest in involvement and engagement among Boston’s young adults. The applications were reviewed by members of the applicants’ peers and ONEin3 program manager, Chloe Ryan. Those chosen distinguished themselves as leaders in their neighborhoods and in the community.

The 2015 ONEin3 Council is comprised of 37 Boston residents, who live in 20 different neighborhoods across Boston.  Collectively, the group works in 20 unique industries, from education to construction management, and received degrees from 30 higher education institutions.  Approximately half of the group is native to Boston, while half grew up in other cities, including several from the Mid-West and West Coast. The Council is set to meet monthly.

Launched in 2004, ONEin3 connects Boston’s young adult population with resources related to housing, professional development, financial health, entrepreneurship, and civic engagement. The program also works to connect young adults, including college students, to resources that help them put down roots in the city.

波市議會議長林乃肯組2024夏奧委員會聽民意 3/6首次聽証

波士頓市議會議長林乃肯（Bill Linehan)為聽取民意，組成“2024夏季奧運特別委員會“，將於三月六日（週五）早上十點半，在市議會議事廳召開第一次公聽會。

            林乃肯將出任主席，已指派吳弭（Michelle Wu），席歐莫（Mark Ciommo），貝克（Frank Baker），麥卡習（Timothy McCarthy），歐馬利（Matt O'Malley），傑克森（Tito Jackson）等人進委員會。

            預定三月六日早上十點半在波士頓市政府大樓市議會議事廳舉行的第一次公聽會，將有波士頓2024報告，帶動討論，並容許市議員們表達民眾關切事項。

            委員會也將從波士頓市爭取主辦2024夏季奧運的角度，來考慮相關議題，並進行調查，包括要確保整個社區過程的確是開放供所有人參加，主辦夏季奧運動波士頓市的經濟衝擊有多大，承辦這活動對波市的鄰里社區影響多大等。

            林乃肯表示，波士頓不見得需要辦這一比賽，但他想問，為什麼不可以，尤其是波士頓是和奧運其實頗有淵源，1896年奧運在雅典舉行時，是波士頓運動員率領美國得勝。如今聞名世界的波士頓馬拉松賽也是從1897年起，波士頓仿1896奧運活動，從1897年開始舉辦的。

 Council President Linehan announces Committee on 2024 Summer Olympics

Council President Linehan announces the formation of a Special Committee on the 2024 Summer Olympics. Councilor Linehan will Chair the committee and has appointed Councilors Ciommo, Baker, Jackson, McCarthy, Wu, and O’Malley as members.

The Committee will hold its first hearing Friday, March 6^th at 10:30a.m. in the Iannella Chambers at City Hall. The Council will hear a presentation from Boston 2024 to initiate the discussion and give the Council an opportunity to vet concerns.

The Committee will concern itself with issues regarding the City of Boston’s bid to host the 2024 Summer Olympics. Some of the issues the Committee will investigate include; insuring the community process is open to all, the economic impact of hosting the Summer Olympics Games for the City, and what effect hosting the Olympic Games will have on the City’s neighborhoods.

The Committee will perform the due diligence needed to determine the feasibility of hosting the 2024 Summer Olympics as well as weigh the possible advantages and/or disadvantages of hosting the 2024 Summer Olympics, by working with 2024 to craft an Olympic bid that will work for Boston.  

 The Committee will act as an alternative and objective voice to the 2024 Olympic bid presented by the City. Council President Linehan has stated: “This Committee will act as an additional opportunity for neighborhood process and participation. I truly believe that the experienced members of this Committee will put in the necessary work to help guide this effort and decide what is best for Boston and all its residents.”

Councilor President Linehan added, Boston does not need the games, but I have to ask the question “why can’t we host the games?”. The City of Boston has an Olympic legacy. In 1896 at the first modern Olympics in Athens, U.S.A. athletes from Boston led the charge to victory.  

            In addition, the Olympic Marathon distance run in 1896 was emulated in Boston the following year in 1897, what we all have come to know and love as “The Boston Marathon”, a tribute to the first games that continues.

            I believe we need to look hard at our ability, capacity and execute with the intention of being Boston Strong.

(Boston Orange 周菊子波士頓報導) 紐英崙至孝篤親公所二月廿八日晚在帝苑大酒樓，龍鳳酒樓，席開百桌上下的慶祝羊年新春，聯邦參議員，波士頓市長等政要冠蓋雲集。

            當晚嘉賓眾多，但儀式簡單隆重，李氏醒獅隊三頭瑞獅齊舞，採青獻吉後，由波士頓市議會議長林乃肯（Bill Linehan）領唱美國國歌，接著主席，嘉賓致詞，僑胞享用春宴。

            林乃肯唱完後自己打趣，出席僑胞也說，市議會議長為僑團春宴唱國歌，可是走遍全美都找不到的創舉。當晚會出現這一幕，一是林乃肯的歌聲之好，僑社中早已聞名，其次則是至篤親公所今年的主席之一陳偉民，是林乃肯的幕僚長。

            至孝篤親公所今年的主席，陳偉民、陳文珊，都是本地出生，年僅四十上下的年輕人，當晚的春宴慶祝，也安排得儀式簡單，更注重圍桌團聚者的暢談敘舊。主席台上也改成主席的至親家人，以示回歸中國傳統的過年家庭團聚。

            至孝篤親公所春宴會上冠蓋雲集，嘉賓眾多，倒並未改變。

            當晚出席的政要，包括聯邦參議員伊莉莎白沃倫（Elizabeth Warren），麻州眾議員卡普阿諾（Mike Capuano），麻州眾議員黃子安，麥家威（Aaron Michlewitz），薩福克郡治安官湯普金，波士頓市長馬丁華殊（Martin Walsh），市長幕僚長高丹尼，波士頓市議會議長林乃肯（Bill Linehan），波士頓消防局局長Joseph Finn，波士頓市議員吳弭（Michelle Wu），波士頓警察局局長伊凡斯（William Evans），波士頓警察局A-1區警長鄺志強（Ken Fong，原姓梅），駐波士頓台北經濟文化辦事處處長賴銘琪，副處長陳銘俊，波士頓華僑文教中心主任郭大文，紐英崙中華公所主席阮鴻燦等十幾人。

            波士頓市長馬丁華殊因有其他要事，當晚九點多才出席，簡單致詞後，應邀走場和出席僑胞合影。

            聯邦參議員沃倫是在夫婿及她的麻州主任劉煒陪同下，六點半左右就趕到會場，和公所元老陳毓禮的家人，好友，包括阮陳金鳳，陳毓璇，陳兆文，帝苑大酒樓東主黃官羨，余風采堂主席余國華夫婦等人握手寒暄打招呼。見到抱著滿月沒多久的兒子出席的吳弭，更是高興地抱起來，要求合影。

            在帝苑大酒樓這邊的春宴，由婦女組的陳黃小蘭主持。龍鳳酒樓那兒，則由陳廣漢，陳國航主持。
