麻州去年有408人死於交通意外 比2021陡增19%

           (Boston Orange) 根據麻州政府數據，人們開車越來越輕率，去年竟有400多人死在路上。

                 麻州交通廳與交通相關死亡數據顯示，2021年有408人在麻州道路上離世，開車的司機，乘客，自行車騎士，行人，都有。

                         這408人的數目，比2020年的343人，增加了19%，更是自從2009年以來，第一次在一年內因車禍死亡人數超過400。

                    超速是其中一大原因。麻州警察在過去這2年間查到時速超過100英里的數量大增。其他的車禍致死原因包括酒駕，沒繫安全帶等等。

               2021年大幅增加的還有騎摩托車的意外事件。2020年時有58人死於摩托車事故，2021年陡增38%。

                     麻州繫安全帶的比率78%，比康州的90%以上低。當然，這是因為康州的繫安全帶法令較嚴格，警察有權因為人們沒繫安全帶就把車輛攔下來，但在麻州，警察還需要有其他理由。

                   道路安全聯盟會長Emily Stein表示，駕駛們上路時，需要更大幅度的改變現有行為，考慮到路上有其他人，一不小心，隨時可能奪人性命。

2022首次華埠居民會 乞臣街空地有望變成2餐廳4住宅

波士頓華埠居民會2022年首次月會。

              (Boston Orange 周菊子波士頓報導) 波士頓華埠居民會 (CRA)在1月5日晚舉行本年度第一次月會，討論蒸氣廠，火鍋店，餐館，乞臣街土地發展計畫等4項議題，有著波士頓華埠正蠢蠢欲動，準備回春的感覺。

華埠居民會主席黃國威。

              今年的這首次月會，由主席黃國威開場，周宣苧主持並翻譯。波士頓市府新任華埠聯絡員Chulan Huang，新任波士頓市不分區市議員Ruthzee Louijeune的助理Emily Polston，波士頓市議會議長愛德華費林 ( Ed Flynn)的助理盧善柔，都出席了這次的網上會議。

              Ping Chen代表「大龍燚 (Dailongyi)」火鍋店陳情，說明這家新餐廳是中國四川成都的連鎖店，位於乞臣街 (Hudson)14號，原銀座餐廳所在地。她們剛拿到施工許可，預定四、五個月後裝修完畢，再開張。目前打算早上11點至凌晨2點營業。

 Ping Chen代表「大龍燚 (Dailongyi)」火鍋店陳情。

              火鍋店近年來在大波士頓日漸流行，波士頓華埠內已有華埠牌樓旁的「肥牛火鍋」，華盛頓街和必珠街(Beach)交界的「小綿羊 (The Q)」火鍋店，華盛頓街和尼倫街(Kneeland)交界處的「劉一手」火鍋店，以及在華盛頓街上的「快樂羊 (Happy Lamb)」，泰勒街(Tyler)上的涮涮鍋，還有夏利臣街一號的「風」火鍋店，一旦「大龍燚 (Dailongyi)」開張，就有7家火鍋店了。

           Victoria Wang 最近購得舊銀座餐廳旁邊的乞臣街12-12A號這塊地。這晚她在 Choo建築公司的Deven等人陪同下，出席華埠居民會，說明發展計畫，爭取支持。

 Victoria Wang和Choo建築公司人員陳情。

Victoria Wang及家人打算在這片土地上蓋6層高樓宇，其中的地面一樓、二樓及地下室，計畫開餐廳，另外的4層樓，打算蓋住宅，每層一戶一睡房單位，面積約1226平方呎。至於出租或出售，要看將來的市場情況。

              出席居民提出許多問題，包括住宅單位將來是出租或出售，是否有電梯，價格一般人能不能負擔得起，那兒的地基是否穩固，施工時是否會優先雇用本地人，本地企業家是否可優先承租餐廳空間。也有人表示，乞臣街上的餐廳已經令該街道充斥各種食物味道，影響居民生活品質。

 Vicinity 蒸氣廠請姜家(右上)做翻譯。

              由於居民們提出很多問題，陳情方礙於計畫仍處於非常初期階段，無法回答，黃國威請陳情方下次再到居民會做說明。

              Vicinity 蒸氣廠由John Gibson做說明，先報告該廠去年2度發生事故，10月發生的架子著火事件，起因是漏油，在消防車抵達前，火就已經被樓宇灑水器撲滅了。另一宗事故是蒸汽輸送管破裂導致蒸氣外洩，後來蒸氣廠關閉，麻州環保署派員調查，制定了維修計畫，現在已經一切恢復正常了。

華人前進會工作人員鄺寶蓮希望Vincinity把廠房賣給政府，為華埠蓋可負擔住宅。

              John Gibson透露，該公司早就有意出售位於尼倫街的廠房，目前正在和有意發展25號地段的2家發展商洽談合作，並且正在和其中一家討論出售該公司尼倫街廠房的可能。

              華人前進會員工鄺寶蓮探問該公司是否可將廠房土地賣給政府，然後由政府協助華埠發展可負擔住宅。John Gibson坦言該公司還從未想過可以這樣做，回去後將再研議。

              這次的華埠居民會網上月會，包括關心社區的中華頤養院前董事長陳秀英，共有大約36人參加。 (更新版)

State Agriculture Preservation Improvement Program Hits 100th Farm Milestone in 2021

State Agriculture Preservation Improvement Program Hits 100th Farm Milestone in 2021

 

BOSTON – The Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources today announced that its Agricultural Preservation Restriction Improvement Program (AIP) has achieved a major milestone by partnering with its 100^th farm within the Commonwealth. AIP began in 2010, with participating farms receiving business planning, technical assistance, and infrastructure grants to support their farm’s viability.

 

“Farmers that participate in AIP report improved operational efficiency, continue to invest in needed infrastructure on their farms, and show a significant increase in gross income in subsequent years,” said MDAR Commissioner John Lebeaux. “These results are consistent with the purpose of AIP, which is to help improve the productivity and profitability of participating farms, and to enhance the significance of APR farm operations and their contribution to the state's agricultural industry.”

 

The APR Improvement Program enables commercial farms with land that has already been protected through MDAR’s Agricultural Preservation Restriction (APR) Program to participate in the improvement program with the goal to assist farmers with issues of financial viability, resource conservation, family succession, modernization of infrastructure, and other issues that may enhance the long term continued use of the agricultural resource.

 

Since the program first began, AIP has provided $7 million in total grants and a total of $560,000 in technical assistance services to the 100 Massachusetts farms. For more information about AIP, please visit the MDAR program website. AIP is one of several programs within DAR’s Division of Agricultural Conservation and Technical Assistance (DACTA), whose mission is to advance the conservation and utilization of agricultural resources through preservation, environmental stewardship, technology, technical assistance and education in order to enhance the viability of agricultural enterprises and safeguard natural resources.

MAYOR WU ANNOUNCES MARIANGELY SOLIS CERVERA AS CHIEF OF EQUITY & INCLUSION

 

MAYOR WU ANNOUNCES MARIANGELY SOLIS CERVERA AS CHIEF OF EQUITY & INCLUSION

BOSTON - Friday, January 7, 2022 - Today, Mayor Michelle Wu announced that Mariangely Solis Cervera will serve as the City of Boston’s next Chief of Equity & Inclusion, starting January 10. In this role, Solis Cervera will lead the Equity Cabinet, which seeks to advance racial justice and social, economic, and health equity in the City of Boston. She is charged with ensuring that work across City departments is equitable and connected to the energy and voices of Boston residents across every neighborhood. “I’m so excited for Mariangely’s leadership in connecting the important work happening across each of our departments with the energy in our communities for transformational change and inclusion,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “She brings a passion for meeting people where they are and getting to the heart of systemic change. As we continue to build our team and get City Hall out of City Hall into our neighborhoods, we must urgently center equity in all of our City’s services.” Mariangely is the proud daughter of a Puertorican father from Carolina and an immigrant mother from Mérida, Yucatán who from an early age taught her that “si caben 5, caben 6” (if 5 people fit, we can fit 6) - a lesson that she has taken with her in every step of her career and personal life. As a former ESL teacher, curriculum developer and coach, Solis Cervera comes with over seven years of experience in English Language Learning, Social and Emotional Learning, and issues of equity and access for 1st generation families in the education system. Previously, Solis Cervera served on Mayor Wu’s campaign as the Constituency Director, where she developed and implemented accessible, culturally competent community engagement strategies within traditionally neglected communities in the electoral system. “I am very aware of the responsibilities this role comes with; the familia and communities I belong to, as well as the people I have learned to call family in this city, who have historically been excluded and at times dismissed by government policies and practices,” said Mariangely Solis Cervera. ”I am honored and grateful to Mayor Wu for the opportunity to help transform the City's practices to ensure every resident has access to the resources and opportunities that they are entitled to. I look forward to joining the administration and advancing the work towards a more equitable city. ¡Pa’lante!”  In 2019, Solis Cervera served as a Rappaport Fellow at the Mayor’s Office for Immigrant Advancement, where she researched the challenges that children from mixed-status families face in Boston Public Schools through community and family centered focus groups. That experience along with her time serving as a Boston Aspiring Latino Fellow at Latinos for Education shaped her desire to build roots in Boston and pivot into a career of building systems-level change through government work. Solis Cervera holds a M.Ed. in Education Policy and Management from Harvard Graduate School of Education, an M.Ed in Teacher Leadership from University of St. Thomas, and a BA in Sociology and Spanish from Mount St. Mary’s University. When she is not working, you can find Mariangely playing fetch with her cat (it’s possible!), or hosting friends over for a home cooked meal, dialogue and most likely a round of Mario Kart.   The Equity & Inclusion cabinet will actively work to embed a “people first” approach to policy and decision making, as well as city goods and services. The Equity & Inclusion Cabinet also includes the Resilience and Racial Equity Department, the Office of Diversity, the Office of Women’s Advancement, the Mayor’s Office for Immigrant Advancement, the Human Rights Department and the Mayor’s Office of Language and Communications Access. Together, the Equity & Inclusion Cabinet works to dismantle systemic oppression and remove barriers to advancement both inside and outside of City Hall. This announcement builds on Mayor Wu’s efforts to quickly build a passionate, knowledgeable Cabinet that reflects the diversity of Boston. Other recent appointments include Jessicah Pierre as Chief Communications Officer, Brianna Millor as Chief of Community Engagement, Adam Cederbaum as Corporation Counsel, Jascha Franklin-Hodge as Chief of Streets, and Segun Idowu as Chief of Economic Opportunity & Inclusion. Additionally, Dr. Monica Bharel previously joined the administration as a senior advisor, Sheila Dillion was reappointed as Chief of Housing, and Dr. Bisola Ojikutu’s position as Executive Director of the Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC), all serving in cabinet-level roles. Alex Lawrence was appointed Interim Chief Information Officer. Mayor Wu also announced several cabinet reappointments: Celina Barrios-Millner, previously Chief of Equity & Inclusion, as Senior Advisor to the Mayor, Shumeane Benford will continue as Chief of Emergency Management (OEM), Kara Elliott-Ortega as Chief of Arts & Culture, Dion Irish as Chief of Operations, Justin Sterritt as Chief of Administration & Finance, and Rev. Mariama White-Hammond as Chief of Environment, Energy, and Open Space.

波士頓華埠王氏 1/10起四個週一免費施打疫苗

 

麻州2022第一場風雪將於週五來襲 估計降許6到10吋

             (Boston Orange 編譯) 2022年的麻州第一場東北大風雪 (nor’easter)將在週五早上的交通尖峰時間抵達，預計在麻州東部及波士頓降雪6到8吋，南岸地區甚至10吋。有關政府都忠告居民盡量不要上路。

          國家氣象局波士頓辦公室氣象學家Kristie Smith表示，大量的雪會在很短時間內累積，使得早上的交通變得非常危險，希望人們盡量不要出門。

          國家氣象局給麻州東半部發出”冬季暴風雪警告”，對西半部則提出忠告。

            暴風雪尖峰時間估計會在早上6點至10點之間，甚至以每小時1到2吋的速度堆積。大雪會在中午以前收尾，整個下午及傍晚，就是地方上收拾殘局時刻了。

          許多地方都已經宣佈暴風雪緊急狀態預報，週五取消上課。
