Baker-Polito Administration, Congressman Neal Celebrate Progress on Key Infrastructure Projects at Barnes Air National Guard Base

Baker-Polito Administration, Congressman Neal Celebrate Progress on Key Infrastructure Projects at Barnes Air National Guard Base

New entry control point and taxiway represent $9.2 million investment from the Commonwealth to improve security and expand capabilities at the installation

WESTFIELD — Today, Governor Charlie Baker, Lt. Governor Karyn Polito, Housing and Economic Development Secretary Mike Kennealy, and Transportation Secretary Jamey Tesler joined Congressman Richard Neal, Major General Gary Keefe, Westfield Mayor Michael McCabe, and state and local leaders at Barnes Air National Guard Base to celebrate progress on two key infrastructure projects at the installation. Officials broke ground on a new $4.5 million gate and entry control point that will be Anti-Terrorism Force Protection Compliant and will help mitigate traffic along Route 202. Additionally, officials cut the ribbon on the recently completed, $4.7 million “Taxiway Sierra,” a new taxiway that will expand the capabilities and capacity of the airport for both civilian and military traffic. Both projects were funded by the Commonwealth’s 2014 Military Bond Bill authorization.

“Massachusetts is fortunate to be home to six military installations which play a critical and strategic role in our nation’s defense capabilities,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “Our administration is proud to open the new taxiway at Barnes Air National Guard Base and break ground on a new gate and entry point, projects that will strengthen this key installation now and for the years ahead.”

“Our administration is committed to investing in not only the infrastructure of our six military installations, but also in the military families who call Massachusetts home,” said Lt. Governor Karyn Polito. “This year, we were proud that the Legislature passed and the Governor signed into law the SPEED Act, which improves the professional licensure process and educational experience for military spouses and families relocating to the Commonwealth.”

Located in Westfield at the Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport, Barnes Air National Guard Base hosts the 104th Fighter Wing and Army rotary wing assets. Barnes is known in military circles as a “model” National Guard installation, as it shares its infrastructure and facilities with the Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport and benefits from corporate and industry partners on the airfield. Since 2014, the Commonwealth has invested almost $20 million into the installation, funding a new runway and energy efficiency upgrades in addition to new gate and taxiway.

“Barnes Air National Guard Base has been an integral part of the western Massachusetts community, economy, and workforce for decades,” said Congressman Richard E. Neal, Chair of the House Committee on Ways and Means. “In conjunction with my partners on the federal level and with the Baker-Polito Administration here in Massachusetts, we are able to ensure the base’s long-term success through investments like the ones we are celebrating today. I remain committed to fighting for Barnes, its workforce, and all military families who call this area home.”

The 104th Fighter Wing is made up of highly trained personnel ready to provide Air Superiority on-demand anywhere in the world with 21 assigned F-15C Eagle Aircraft. The 104th is trained to provide 24/7 Aerospace Control Alert, with armed F-15 fighters ready to scramble in a moment’s notice to protect the northeast United States – a region that accounts for approximately one-quarter of the nation’s population and more than one-third of the country’s Gross Domestic Product – from any airborne threat. The Wing is always on call for emergency response including security, logistics, communications, explosive ordnance disposal, firefighting and medical support to the nation and Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

“This project shows how effective the 104th Fighter Wing and the Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport can be when working together,” said 104th Fighter Wing commander Col. David ‘Moon’ Halasi-Kun. “By capitalizing on each other’s capabilities, we are able to maximize the use of the joint airport, as well as provide continual economic benefits to the community.”

“These infrastructure investments at Barnes Air National Guard Base are made possible by collaboration with the Legislature and guidance from the Massachusetts Military Asset and Security Strategy Task Force,” said Housing and Economic Development Secretary Mike Kennealy. “Massachusetts’ six military installations are significant economic drivers for their communities and the Commonwealth, and ensuring their long-term competitiveness has been a top priority for our administration.”

“It is the multi-agency coordination that allows for projects to get done successfully and I am pleased to join with community members to celebrate the collaboration which has led to infrastructure improvements benefitting the public using the Westfield-Barnes Airport,” said Transportation Secretary and CEO Jamey Tesler. “An investment in a local airport is an investment in the regional economy and I want to thank everyone who worked together on a variety of projects, including local officials, members of the MassDOT Highway Division and Aeronautics Division, and the Massachusetts Air National Guard’s 104th Fighter Wing and the Massachusetts Army National Guard’s 226th Division Aviation Support Battalion.”

Governor Charlie Baker, Lt. Governor Karyn Polito, and Housing and Economic Development Secretary Mike Kennealy joined Congressman Richard Neal, Major General Gary Keefe, Westfield Mayor Donald Humason, and state and local leaders in May 2021 to celebrate the groundbreaking of Taxiway Sierra at Barnes Air National Guard Base. The Massachusetts National Guard and their partners have completed the taxiway ahead of schedule and under budget.

“This new taxiway and the ground breaking for a new gate and entry point at Barnes Air National Guard Base are critical steps in ensuring the 104th Fighter Wing will continue to meet the needs of the commonwealth and the nation long into the future,” said Maj. Gen. Keefe, The Adjutant General, Massachusetts National Guard. “These key infrastructure improvements will benefit the Guard, the Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport and the surrounding community.”

“The main gate projects and the expansion of Taxiway Sierra are truly exciting projects that will benefit the entire airport and as a result, the greater Westfield area as well," said Senator John Velis. "This work will increase the capabilities of both the 104th Fighter Wing and Westfield-Barnes Regional and will help to ensure the future of the base and airport."

“The 104th Fighter Wing continues to be an invaluable partner and employer in Westfield and in the region,” said Mayor Mike McCabe. “The Main Gate and Taxiway Sierra projects have been a long time coming. Thankfully, today they become a reality and a benefit to all.”

“Since 1947, Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport has been home to the 104th Fighter, which established a longstanding strong partnership over the years that has provided substantial economic benefits and overall community support to Western Massachusetts,” said Christopher Willenborg, Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport Manager.

This event and $9.2 million investment comes on the heels of Governor Baker signing An Act relative to Military Spouse Licensure Portability, Education and Enrollment of Dependents, better known as the SPEED Act. Two key components of the SPEED Act include improving the process for military spouses to secure professional licenses when assigned to Massachusetts and improving the educational experience for military families.

Massachusetts is home to six military installations that generate more than $13.2 billion in total economic activity and support more than 57,600 jobs, including Barnes Air National Guard Base, Fort Devens, Hanscom Air Force Base, Joint Base Cape Cod, the U.S. Army's Natick Soldier Systems Center, and Westover Air Reserve Base.

The Massachusetts Military Asset and Security Strategy Task Force, as a nation-leading defense community support entity, has leveraged the strength of the Commonwealth’s federal, state, and local leadership to commit over $46 million to these military installations and defense communities, including over $32 million under the 2014 Military Bond Bill authorization.

 Baker-Polito Administration Awards $24 Million in Skills Capital Grants to High Schools

 

WESTFIELD — The Baker-Polito Administration today awarded $24 million in Skills Capital Grants to 14 different high schools. Each school received awards between $1 million and $2.5 million, which will enable the schools to modernize labs and significantly expand student enrollment in programs that provide career education. 

 

Governor Charlie Baker, Lt. Governor Karyn Polito and Education Secretary James Peyser visited Westfield Technical Academy to make the announcement and visit with students exploring advanced manufacturing and culinary arts programs. The high school received more than $1 million to modernize its advanced manufacturing and electrical instructional labs. The school will also launch a Career Technical Initiative program, supported by this funding.

 

The high schools receiving grants will make strategic investments over the next two years to grow their career education programs to provide more learning opportunities for both traditional high school students and adult learners, with several schools expanding their Career Technical Initiative (CTI) programs to offer more learning opportunities in the late-afternoon and evening.  Over the next 5 years, today’s grant awards will directly impact approximately 10,000 students across 38 different programs. 

 

The funding for this round of grants was included in An Act Relative to Immediate Covid-19 Recovery Needs, passed by the Legislature and signed by the Governor, which included $100 million in state resources to provide capital improvement grants to vocational high schools and public schools operating career and technical education programs.

 

“Since taking office, our administration has made significant investments through the Skills Capital Grant program to help more young people and adults gain the education, training and skills necessary for successful careers in rapidly growing industry sectors,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “We are proud of the impact these grants have had on both students’ educations and their futures in the Massachusetts workforce.”

 

“As a result of the Skills Capital Grants, high schools, colleges and other educational institutions have modernized how students learn and provided crucial experiential learning that serves students and employers well,” said Lt. Governor Karyn Polito. “We appreciate the continued support of our partners in the Legislature, and we look forward to the continued growth and expansion of hands-on, career technical education programs made possible by Skills Capital Grants.” 

 

Since 2015, 491 Skills Capital Grants totaling more than $153 million have been awarded to different schools and educational institutions across the Commonwealth, with many organizations receiving multiple grants over the years. 

 

“Education is our lodestar here in the Commonwealth, and I am proud that we continue to invest in educational innovation and upgrades at every level. At a time when our economy is changing at a rapid pace, ensuring that students have state-of-the-art and up-to-date equipment and technology is more crucial than ever,” said Senate President Karen E. Spilka (D-Ashland). “I’d like to thank all of my partners in the Legislature for advancing this important funding, as well as the Baker Administration for operationalizing our vision to provide increased support to vocational high schools and public schools operating career and technical education programs.”

 

“I'm proud of the House's ongoing commitment prioritizing investments in job training and workforce development that meet the needs of the 21st Century economy, including dedicating funding for these grants," said House Speaker Ronald J. Mariano (D-Quincy). “I want to thank my colleagues in the House, as well as our partners in the Senate and the Administration for supporting this critical programming, as it will help to ensure that the next generation, including our adult learners, have the tools to succeed in high demand industries.”

 

The Skills Capital Grant program was originally launched in 2015 with the goal of replacing outdated equipment and technology, mainly at vocational technical high schools and community colleges. Since then, the program has evolved into a crucial component of local workforce training efforts by expanding the number of young people and adults trained and experienced with the newest technologies used by local employers.

 

The competitive grants are awarded to educational institutions that demonstrate partnerships with local businesses, as well as align curriculum and credentials with industry demand to maximize hiring opportunities in each region of the state.

 

"High schools across the Commonwealth are valued partners in our efforts to create opportunity and exciting career pathways for both young students and adults," said Labor and Workforce Development Secretary Rosalin Acosta. "This round of Skills Capital Grants is funding a wide expansion of Career Technical Initiative programming which will help the unemployed and underemployed find meaningful work that supports themselves and their families." 

 

Upgrading equipment and providing hands-on learning experiences ensures that our students – both young people and adults – graduate with vital skills and knowledge,” said Education Secretary James Peyser. “Through the Skills Capital Grants, thousands of young people and adults have been provided with educational opportunities to be successful in high-demand careers that are growing in the Commonwealth.”

 

"Our economy is strengthened when students and other prospective employees are equipped with skills that align with industry needs," said Housing and Economic Development Secretary Mike Kennealy. "Skills Capital Grants continue to play an important role preparing individuals for meaningful careers and helping companies find qualified employees to grow their businesses."

 

The Skills Capital Grants are awarded by Governor Baker’s Workforce Skills Cabinet, which was created in 2015 to bring together the Secretariats of Education, Labor and Workforce Development, and Housing and Economic Development to align education, economic development, and workforce policies to strategize around how to meet employers’ demand for skilled workers in every region of the Commonwealth.

VIDEO: Geoff Diehl’s Trump Connection

BOSTON – The Massachusetts Democratic Party released a new video today that highlights Republican gubernatorial nominee Geoff Diehl’s close association with Donald Trump.

TRUMP: I think that, uh, Diehl will be the real deal. [Source]

MAYOR WU APPOINTS NEW MEMBERS TO THE ZONING BOARD OF APPEAL

MAYOR WU APPOINTS NEW MEMBERS TO THE ZONING BOARD OF APPEAL

BOSTON - Monday, September 26, 2022 - Mayor Michelle Wu today announced a slate of appointments to the Zoning Board of Appeal (ZBA). The appointees live across the City and represent the diversity of Boston, including members who are multilingual, renters in income-restricted housing, homeowners, building trades members, first generation immigrants, and multigenerational Bostonians. Their collective training and experience includes city and transportation planning, community development, affordable housing creation, sustainable development and architectural design, and construction. 


As the City’s zoning code has failed to keep up with Boston’s growth, the majority of development proposals in Boston require zoning relief and must be reviewed and approved by the ZBA. These new ZBA members will work closely with Chief of Planning Arthur Jemison to help advance the Mayor’s goal of rebuilding trust with communities through planning-led development while advancing equity, affordability, and resilience across all functions of the City’s development review process.

 

“This outstanding slate of community members will play a key role in Boston’s growth as we work to build more housing and address the regional affordability crisis, support equitable and resilient neighborhoods, and shift to planning-led development,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “These appointees represent the diversity, talent, and expertise of our communities that will connect Boston’s growth to addressing our greatest challenges.”


“I want to thank the prior members for their service to the city. These ZBA appointees have a variety of experiences in development and community advocacy work in Boston’s neighborhoods, and they represent the diversity of our City,” said Chief of Planning Arthur Jemison. “The BPDA is focused on furthering planning and development work that addresses Boston's greatest challenges: resiliency, affordability, and equity. I am looking forward to a collaborative working relationship with the ZBA. Together, we can aim to reduce reliance on variances as the BPDA prioritizes planning-lead development."


The ZBA totals 14 members – seven primary members and seven alternates with a range of experience as required by state law  – who serve three-year terms. Alternates serve if primary members are unable to attend a ZBA hearing. All members currently serving on the ZBA were appointed by previous administrations. In addition to 10 new members, Mayor Wu is reappointing Jeanne Pinado, Sherry Dong, and Hansy Better Barraza. Kerry Walsh Logue, a representative of the Building Trades Employers Association from South Boston, is an active member whose term expires in November. The nominees will now need to be confirmed by the Boston City Council.

《抗日將領 李學正》 與大陸淪陷後國共最後之戰秘史

 《抗日將領 李學正》

與大陸淪陷後國共最後之戰秘史

 李台 撰文

李學正少將,字景芳, 河南省靈寶縣人 。中央軍校(陸大)高教班第五期畢業。1902年生于河南省靈寶縣尹庒鎮李村寨子。 父親李英田,母親蘆氏,家境小康。 為人忠孝,其左手小指為四節異於常人的三節。李學正為家中獨子,父母從小請人教練他武功,以免受人欺負。







李學正畢業于陝州的省立九中,後到靈寶縣立第一小學當教師。目睹盜匪猖獗丶國情混亂丶民不潦生,立志除匪投筆從戎。 1928年負箕到省城開封申志,受省府委仼于土匪最嚴重的䝞鎮區當區長清剿土匪。1930年任縣人民自衞團大隊長,清剿期間,土匪數次埋伏暗殺,三次險遭不測。李採取武力與招安並用,成功清剿了土匪。1931年因平定土匪有功,升任豫西陝靈蘆閿永澠新七縣剿匪司令。1931年底,李學正率部隊在澠池縣藕池鎮,被國民革命軍20 總指揮 張鈁 整編為國民革命軍20路軍第454獨立團任團長,後仼76227旅旅長。多次參與剿共與抗日戰役。

       抗日時期,1938年李學正任8667師副師長及師長,後任18118師師長及87118師師長。其中台兒莊大捷之役,193846日蔣介石派李學正率領榮譽師進攻日軍,國軍前兩次未能攻克,第三次47日由李學正率部第一個打進城池並將國旗插上城頭。其後,李學正率部隊駐紮台兒莊。19448月日軍發動桂柳會戰。李學正仼87118師師長,率部在黔桂湘邊區與日軍作戰。抗戰時期,身先士卒,在其左腿仍留有日軍槍彈未能取出,因此每到秋天左腿就會酸痛。因抗日有功 1945 38日升仼少將。1945 6月任3067師師長。1946年任整編第67旅旅長。1948年任6267師師長,參加遼沈戰役與平津戰役。19483月李學正當選為第一屆國民大會代表,為民喉舌,在南京參加第一屆國民大會。

1949年參加平津戰役,李學正仼6267師師長。在天津與共軍苦戰77終因彈盡援絶被俘。其間62軍林偉儔軍長在第三日曾找李商議找條生路,但李不肯仍然堅持奮戰。當時傅作義總司令投共換旗故未提供糧食彈藥 。被俘後被送到北平市復興門外新開路大院受訓,3個月後由傅作義作保放出。李學正與傅作義丶孫戰武曾是情同手足的拜把兄弟,曾發誓同生共死。但傅作義知道李學正忠貞愛國剛正不屈,因此投共換旗之事未敢讓李知道,以致李學正彈盡援絶被俘。

李學正雖失敗但仍不屈不變節,不受中共威迫利誘,假藉回鄉務農展轉由天津經由水路回到湖南。19497月擕眷與政府撤退到台灣。一個月後19498月奉蔣公與李宗仁總統令帶職返回大陸做敵後反攻復興大業。1949821日隨胡宗南主任飛機由重慶去陝西漢中。194911月奉胡宗南主任令成立四個軍: 新四軍丶新五軍丶新八軍與127軍。王凌雲為川鄂豫陝綏靖公署總指揮(川陝甘挺進軍)。李學正為副總指揮兼新四軍副軍長隨後接任新四軍軍長。在川陝邊界成立反攻基地,與共軍多次作戰。大陸淪陷後中華民國仍有四個軍在敵後為反攻而奮戰,安康一役大捷後轉入大巴山區成立反攻基地,結合地方武力逐漸壯大,整軍備戰,構築工事,清鄉剿共,成為中共政權成立後最大的心患,194912月毛澤東憤而特令所有陝南軍區部隊與新成立的19軍集結於川陝邊境大巴山區與國軍決戰,激戰23天,孤軍奮戰無援終以失敗。 195016日總指揮王凌雲被俘。1950110日李學正副總指揮兼新四軍軍長在通江云霧山被俘。

 李學正被俘後仍不屈服,組織越獄集體逃出後,隱忍改名為李正堂,待機東山再起反攻大業。化名後入檬垻景美德家,經人介紹在當地教書。1951330日不幸再次被俘。忠貞不屈而被害為國捐軀。1953628日有親人在河南靈寶西城門口見到通告,通知李學正的親人去四川達縣收葬。當時環境太壞無人敢去收葬,至今不知英魂何處。這段鮮為人知道的國軍大巴山孤軍奮戰史,被中共黨史定為國共正規軍的最後之戰,也為國軍軍史上的空白補充了失去的句點。

 李學正的家屬赴台後,因大陸淪陷音訊中斷,敵後作戰情形無法得知,家屬被政府通報其失蹤。夫人黃秋雲獨自一人辛苦扶養四個小孩。在台中酒廠工作到退休。後赴美國逝世于波士頓。享壽81歲。其子女為李智丶李玲丶李勇和李台。李智為電機工程師,退休後現在美國北卡教書。李台為牙醫師,執業于麻州大波士頓地區。

 李學正另有2個兒子滯留大陸未能在撤退時隨行赴台灣。老大李忠(可忠)失聯不明,老二李孝(可孝、石娃)在老家育有一女四男四代同堂。

 19891130日中華民國聯合勤務總司令部留守業務署公文(函):李學正派赴敵後執行作戰仼務遇難視同作戰死亡。設定死亡日期 : 19891022日。中共官方公佈李學正的死難日期為1951年無月日,只有年份。

 李學正將軍一生為國為民; 清剿土匪,抗日剿共,忠貞不移。其出生入死,拋家棄子赴敵後作戰,孤軍奮戰為國犧牲,實為忠烈之典範。 (感謝李台醫師同意轉載他父親史蹟的更新版)
