ABOUT MICHELLE

MY NAME IS MICHELLE WU. IN 2013, I WAS ELECTED AS A BOSTON CITY COUNCILOR AT-LARGE. I AM RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN BOSTON. I BELIEVE WE CAN LEAD AS A NATIONAL MODEL OF AN INCLUSIVE INNOVATION ECONOMY THAT CONNECTS ALL OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS AND COMMUNITIES. I BELIEVE WE CAN SERVE AS AN EXAMPLE OF AN URBAN PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM THAT CREATES MEANINGFUL PATHWAYS FOR ALL OUR STUDENTS, AND I BELIEVE THAT ALL OF THIS DEPENDS ON A FOUNDATION OF STRONG, VIBRANT, LOCAL ENGAGEMENT IN EACH OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.

I have gotten to know and love the sense of community and family that Boston’s neighborhoods represent. From advising entrepreneurs at the WilmerHale Legal Services Center in Jamaica Plain, to working with survivors of domestic violence at the Medical-Legal Partnership at Boston Medical Center and health centers around the city, I have seen the power of community organizations serving city residents. As legal guardian of my youngest sister, I have chaired the School Site Council for the Eliot K-8 School in the North End and volunteered with the Boston Latin Home and School Association. Prior to serving on the Council, I worked on the U.S. Senate campaign of my former law professor, Elizabeth Warren, directing the campaign’s statewide outreach effort to communities of color throughout all of Boston’s neighborhoods and in gateway cities across the Commonwealth. In my first term as Boston City Councilor At-Large, I have been committed to working towards a city government that is accessible, responsible, and built on community, and have been a proud voice for progressive causes that impact residents in all of Boston’s neighborhoods

Family has been the driving force in my life. I’m the oldest of four kids born to immigrant parents from Taiwan. Growing up, I watched my parents navigate language and cultural barriers while pursuing the American Dream. I worked hard, studied hard, and got into college at Harvard, where I fell in love with Boston. After graduation, I got a great job in the Financial District. But when my mother began to suffer from serious mental illness, I left my job in Boston and went to Chicago to take care of her and my younger sisters. While there, I started a small family business, a tea shop featuring weekly poetry readings and open mic nights. I was fortunate to come back to Boston for law school, bringing my mother and sisters with me.

Through my experiences as a former small business owner, legal advocate, legal guardian—and most recently, as new working mom—I have seen how city government has a direct impact on people’s lives. Previously working for Mayor Tom Menino and having served one term on the Boston City Council, I have experienced the potential for city government to be responsive, innovative, and accessible. It is for these principles and for families around the city that I hope to continue to serve.



我叫吳弭 (Michelle Wu). 我相信作为一个包容性的创新经济体我们波士顿市可以领先于其他城市作为全美国学习的模范。在这个经济体里所有的邻里和社区都被连结起来。我相信我们可以成为城市公共教育系统学习的范例在这个教育系统里我们为学生创造有意义的发展道路。我还相信要实现这一切的奠基石是我们与我们所有的社区有着强有力和充满活力的直接参与和接触了解。

我慢慢地接触了解并喜欢上了波士顿街区所代表的社区和家庭的感觉。无论是在Jamaica Plain的WilmerHale法律服务中心指导企业家还是在波士顿医疗中心和健康中心帮助家庭暴力的幸存者我看到了社区组织为民众提供服务的力量。作为我小妹的法定监护人我主持了在North End Eliot 学校的校委会我还在波士顿拉丁学校协会做义工。最近一段时间我的主要工作是帮助我前法学院教授Elizabeth Warren的美国参议院竞选进行全州宣传活动,我们主要向波士顿以及马萨诸塞州波士顿的周边城市的非白人社区进行宣传。

我很自豪地把波士顿称为我的家｡目前我跟我的先生和两个妹妹住在South End. 我的母亲住在West Roxbury.家庭一直是推动我成长的强大动力｡我的父母从台湾移民来美国,我们家有四个兄弟姐妹,而我是几个孩子中的老大｡在我成长的过程中, 我看着我的父母克服语言和文化上的障碍, 追求他们的美国梦。我勤奋努力地学习考入哈佛大学在读书期间便爱上了波士顿。大学毕业之后我在波士顿金融区找到了一个很不错的工作。但是由于我的母亲备受精神病的折磨我离开了我在波士顿的工作回到芝加哥照顾我的母亲和几个年幼的妹妹。在芝加哥的时候我创办了一个小型的家族企业—

一家饮茶店我这家饮茶店的特色是每周都会举办诗歌阅读和卡拉欧克之夜。幸运的是由于法学院我之后又回到了波士顿并带上了我的母亲和妹妹们。

我的一些经历—
无论是开办小家族企业当法律倡导人还是当法定监护人都使我认识到市政府对市民的生活有着直接的影响。我还曾在波士顿市政大厅工作过我看到我的政府有不断作出响应不断创新和不断接近民众的潜力。正是由于这个原因还有因为波士顿市无数的家庭让我想要服务于民众。我非常期待在竞选中与您的交谈

大型廣告招牌公司紛進華埠請支持

(Boston Orange 周菊子波士頓報導) 在不久以後的將來，波士頓華埠一帶真有可能逐漸變成紐約時代廣場一般，霓虹燈處處？週一晚（七月廿日）有兩個廣告牌公司到華埠社區議會（CNC）陳情，爭取支持。
  華埠社區議會議員，後又起，李有香，梅佩凡，李洪文等人在會中聆聽陳情。（周菊子攝）
            “招牌建築（Boardstruction）“ 公司負責人史諾雯（Marilois  Snowman）帶了6頁說明出席，表示該公司有意在位於尼倫街（Kneeland）165號的Veolia能源廠大樓，面向南邊的牆上，做一面60X20呎的大廣告牌，在面向西的牆上，做一塊12X12呎的廣告招牌，刻正向市政府申請許可，希望波士頓華埠社區議會支持。
            史諾雯表示，為爭取支持，該公司願意每年捐款7,500元，或者營收的2%給中華耆英會，中華廣教學校，另外在華埠中秋節聯歡會時，捐出約一個月時間的12X12呎廣告牌，供華埠做相關廣告。
前王朝酒家東主暨業主李衛新，出席議會陳情，表明希望申請酒牌。（周菊子攝）
            出席議員們紛紛發言，討論Veolia大樓座落位置是否屬於華埠，捐贈的廣告時間應用在農曆新年或華埠中秋節，社區福利是否可以其他形式提供，聯邦政府對這類高速公路旁招牌的限制規定等。
議員陳魯誠表示，以一號公路及九號公路為鑑，太多的霓虹燈，廣告招牌，其實會讓地方顯得很難看。他認為波士頓華埠還不準備出售地方景觀（landscape），他希望知道更多民眾對此有何意見後，再做決定。
策略集團（The Strategy Group）代表橙桶媒體（Orange Barrel Media）陳情，希望在W酒店外牆上，建一個25.8X15.8的光二極管（LED）電子廣告招牌。他們說明，是應市政府要求，來聽取社區意見。

策略集團副總裁David E. Newman和Susan Tracy在會上表示，橙桶媒體已在芬衛球場，波士頓會議展覽中心製作有同樣類型的電子廣告招牌，他們也和波士頓重建局討論過在W酒店製作類似招牌。
根據市政府的要求，這些廣告招牌的播放時間，有15%要提供給社區。
由於W酒店座落位置嚴格來說，並不屬於華埠，出席議員們只是提了不少問題。
已歇業多年，座落在愛丁保羅街上的王朝酒家（Dynasty）業主李衛新，當天出席議會，說明有意申請酒牌，一旦能夠申請到酒牌，才會展開翻修這已丟空多年大樓，重新開業的籌備工作。

紀念抗戰七十週年 民國將軍後代波士頓憶述父親當年

民國28年8月25日上午10點，日機轟炸廣西全州，
投兩顆炸彈，一個落江中，一個落在蔣振河（見圖）
辦公室外三尺處，入土未炸，重120磅。
蔣振河其後和炸彈留影。（蔣碧如提供）
            (Boston Orange 周菊子波士頓報導)1945年9月9日，民國政府在南京接受日本遞交降書，8年抗戰結束。70年後，中國大陸，台灣政府，美國華人社區分別“紀念”抗戰勝利七十週年。波士頓榮光會請會員蔣碧如，憶述其父蔣振河將軍親與其役事蹟，緬懷歷史，提醒華人要自衛保國。
            和美國西岸相比，大波士頓來自台灣的華人並不多，波士頓榮光會內，有會員饒鴻章是少將，該會前任理事長殷尚堅之妻蔣碧如的父親蔣振河，也是少將。該會現任理事長石家孝的父親石邦藩則有“獨臂將軍”之稱。
            蔣碧如當天簡述其父生平，還從父親的回憶錄「瑞清憶往」，節取了遠征緬甸之役部分，和波士頓榮光會紀念抗戰勝利七十週年大會的出席者分享。
            蔣振河字瑞清，江蘇淮陰人，生於清光緒的1901年，當年是上海大學英語系學生，經于右任介紹，才加入國民黨，由吳丹忱介紹，才考入黃埔軍校步兵科，其後追隨杜聿明，在抗戰勝利前升任第五兵站分監部少將分監。
 蔣振河獲頒的勳章。（蔣碧如提供）
            蔣碧如指出，1942年時，蔣振河隨部隊移駐雲南昆明，再遠征緬甸，沿路與日軍麈戰數月。在英軍棄守緬甸，日軍阻截了他們回國之路的情況中，由於時逢雨季，道路泥濘難行，山林密蔽的讓空投補給困難，前往野人山沿途，又蟲蟻、旱螞蝗橫行，沿路不斷有官兵殞命，並在一、兩小時之內就膨脹數倍，旋即被蟲蟻啃成白骨的景象令人怵目驚心，途中還有許多人染上熱帶疾病，等部隊終於抵達印度時，已有三分之二喪命。
        根據蔣振河的回憶錄，國軍當年軍情混亂，上令不能準確下達，部分將領擅離職守，軍事佈署困難等諸多情況，幾乎無處不流露人在戰場中，隨時要做“兵來將擋，水來土淹”應對的萬般無奈。
            蔣碧如坦言，她父親算是戰爭中的幸運者之一，在抗戰期間保住性命，在抗戰後能攜眷赴台，直到1988年腦溢血辭世。

            今年在中國大陸，台灣政府，美國華人社區紛紛為抗戰勝利七十週年舉辦活動之際，有BBC等媒體指出，各地“紀念”抗戰，各有底調，史觀出發點不同，讓人深思各自用意為何。
有台灣網民指出的在抗戰期間，台灣是日本帝國的一部分，是“被抗戰的一方”，有什麼好紀念的，或台灣原住民，蔣渭水及林獻堂等人的抗日，難道不算抗戰的一部分等。
當這台灣觀點和中國大陸及馬英九政府的觀點並列時，似乎點出了兩岸三地及海外華人難以團結的部分原因。

Rhode Island Family Charged with Defrauding Immigrants

Rhode Island Family Charged with Defrauding Immigrants
BOSTON – A Rhode Island woman and her two daughters have been charged with federal wire fraud charges in connection with a scheme to defraud immigrants of hundreds of thousands of dollars over several years. 
The indictment, which was unsealed this morning, charges Patria Zuniga, 53, Alba Peña, 24, and Indranis Rocheford, 27, all of Woonsocket, Rhode Island, with eight separate counts of wire fraud.  Zuniga was initially charged with one count of wire fraud in May, and has been in custody since May 13, 2015.  Peña and Rocheford were arrested at their homes in Rhode Island this morning.  They are scheduled to appear before U.S. Magistrate Judge David H. Hennessy today at 2 p.m.  
According to court documents, it is alleged that from 2010 through 2012, Zuniga, Peña, and Rocheford targeted immigrant victims with either no lawful status or temporary legal status in the United States.  Victims were told that Zuniga worked for immigration authorities and could assist them in obtaining lawful immigration status documents.  Zuniga’s services were initially offered to immigrant victims for $8,000 to $14,000; however, after the victims made the payments, Zuniga demanded additional funds, and threatened to have them deported if they refused to pay.  Payments were initially made in cash, but later Zuniga, Peña, and Rocheford accepted money via cash deposits made directly into designated bank accounts (including accounts owned by Peña and Rocheford), money orders, and bank and Western Union wire transfers.  It is alleged that Zuniga, Peña, and Rocheford received more $800,000 from immigrant victims over the course of the fraud.   
“Dreams of a better life and a way out of the shadows make the immigrant community particularly susceptible to abusive immigration services scams like this one,” said U.S. Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz.  “The defendants are alleged to have illegally enriched themselves by exploiting the vulnerability of immigrants and their families.  This indictment should serve as a stern warning to other fraudsters that preying on the most vulnerable among us is illegal and will be prosecuted.” 
The charging statutes provide for a maximum sentence of no greater than 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release, a fine of $250,000.   Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
United States Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz, Michael Shea, Acting Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigation in Boston and Shelly Binkowski, Inspector in Charge of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service made the announcement today. The case is being prosecuted by Jordi de Llano of Ortiz’s Major Crimes Unit.
The details contained in charging documents are allegations. The defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

CITY OF BOSTON CELEBRATES 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SIGNING OF THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT

CITY OF BOSTON CELEBRATES 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SIGNING OF THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
BOSTON - Wednesday, July 22, 2015 - The Mayor's Commission for Persons with Disabilities today joined the New England ADA Center, Partners HealthCare and state and local agencies to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). 

"In Boston, we are dedicated to celebrating our diversity," said Mayor Martin J. Walsh. "As our city continues to grow and prosper, we must ensure that all of our residents have equal access to meaningful opportunities and experiences."

"Today provides an opportunity to reflect upon all that we have accomplished, but also to reinvigorate us to overcome all of the obstacles that still remain, and to fight to make the promises of the ADA real," said United States Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz. "Overcoming those obstacles requires the continuing tenacity and expertise of a wide-range of stakeholders and strong leadership." 

"Although the Commonwealth has made great strides towards broader inclusivity in the last 25 years, it is crucial that we do not lose momentum," said Lieutenant  Governor Karyn Polito. "This anniversary is a chance to celebrate progress and remind ourselves to continue fostering a welcoming and accessible environment for all."
"The ADA has helped to end the segregation, isolation and discrimination faced by so many people with disabilities," said Attorney General Maura Healey. "But there is more that can be done. Today we also commit to breaking down the remaining barriers so that all people are assured the right to be full participants in our democracy, our workforce and our communities."
The ADA was signed into law on July 26, 1990, by President George H.W. Bush. The ADA is one of America's most comprehensive pieces of civil rights legislation that prohibits discrimination and guarantees that people with disabilities have the same opportunities as everyone else to participate in the mainstream of American life -- to enjoy employment opportunities, to purchase goods and services, and to participate in State and local government programs and services.
Today's celebration included a kick-off rally and march to Boston Common, as well as remarks from U.S. Attorney Ortiz, Lieutenant Governor Polito, Attorney General Healey, keynote speaker Dr. Cheri Blauwet, a multi-time Paralympian and two-time Boston Marathon Champion, and poet Lewis Morris. The events also included performances and readings by advocate and author Remon Jourdan, poets Colin Killick and Kythryne Aisling and The Berkshire Hills Music Academy Troupe.
In recognition of the 25th anniversary of the ADA, the Mayor's Commission for Persons with Disabilities held a poster contest on "What the ADA means to You." Entries were posted online and voting was open to the public to select a winner and first runner-up. The poster contest winners were announced today by Disability Commissioner Kristen McCosh. Atara Schimmel, a local amateur artist and disability advocate who works on issues related to chronic pain, took first place in the contest. The runner-up poster was created by Susan Hatch, a resident of The Boston Home in Dorchester.  Winning entries were shown today on the Common and will also be on display in City Hall through the month of July.

"We have accomplished a lot in the past 25 years, particularly in removing architectural barriers," said Commissioner McCosh. "However, we still have a long way to go to achieve true equality. Under Mayor Walsh's leadership, we are continually improving access and inclusion for people with disabilities in the city."
Mayor Walsh is committed to creating "One Boston," where all people are welcome and diversity is celebrated. As part of this goal, the Commission facilitates full and equal participation in all aspects of life by persons with disabilities in the City of Boston, and strives to reduce architectural, procedural, attitudinal and communication barriers that affect persons with disabilities. The Commission consists of nine members appointed by the Mayor. Monthly meetings held by the Commission are open to the public.

RED SOX’ JUNE DRAFT COMPLETE WITH 27 OF 39 PLAYERS SIGNED

RED SOX’ JUNE DRAFT COMPLETE WITH 27 OF 39 PLAYERS SIGNED;
Club Signs Every Pick in the Top 17 Rounds, and 23 of 24 Selections in the Top 25 Rounds
Club Ranks Third of 30 in Draft Investments Over the Past 14 Years

BOSTON, MA – The Boston Red Sox signed 27 of 39 players selected in the 2015 June Draft, including all 16 players drafted in the first 17 rounds and all but one pick within the top 25 rounds.  Dating back to the 2012 draft, the club has signed 75 of its top 80 overall selections. Last Friday marked the conclusion of the annual signing period for drafted players. 

The Red Sox spent $7,589,000 on signing bonuses this year, bringing their 14-year total since 2002 to $101,588,083, the third-highest in Major League Baseball despite only twice selecting players within the top 15 overall picks (2013, 2015).  Only the Pittsburgh Pirates and Kansas City Royals have spent more in signing their draft picks in that 14-year period.

Boston’s first pick, 21-year-old center fielder Andrew Benintendi, has already started his pro career with Short-A Lowell.  Selected seventh overall in the first round, he was recently named winner of both this year’s Golden Spikes Award and Dick Howser Trophy as the best collegiate baseball player following his sophomore campaign with the University of Arkansas this past spring. 

Twenty-one-year-old catcher Austin Rei (pronounced “RYE”), selected with the club’s second pick in the third round out of the University of Washington, and the team’s fourth-round pick, center fielder Tate Matheny from Missouri State University, are also with Lowell. Tate is the son of current St. Louis Cardinals manager and 13-year major league catcher Mike Matheny.

Boston’s signings include local products Andrew Noviello, a catcher from Bridgewater-Raynham High School selected in the 25th round, and right-handed pitcher Trevor Kelley, a native of Barrington, RI selected out of the University of North Carolina.  Both began their pro careers in the Gulf Coast League.

Of the 27 signed players, 14 are pitchers (nine right-handers and five left-handers).  The other 13 include seven outfielders, two catchers, one first baseman, one second baseman, one third baseman, and one shortstop.

Boston signed five draftees out of high school and 22 from college, including one in junior college.

The 27 players hail from 15 different states, with California (4) and Florida (4) leading the way. Two players each came from Alabama, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas.

The Red Sox also signed a native of Puerto Rico, 20th-rounder Yomar Valentin, a shortstop from Puerto Rico Baseball Academy and the son of 16-year major league infielder Jose Valentin (1992-2007). The 17-year-old from Manati, PR is also the club’s youngest signee from the June Draft.

Attached is a complete list of the Red Sox 2015 draft picks.  Names in bold indicate the player signed.
