visited East Boston Neighborhood Health Center on Thursday, June 29,
2023 ahead of the Sumner Tunnel closure to discuss their commitment to
keeping medical access intact for our community
this summer. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #1f497d;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">During the visit, Sec. Fiandaca toured the recently
completed multi-million dollar rebuild of EBNHC’s Emergency Department
(ED), supported by state and federal dollars, with capacity to treat 120
patients daily. Earlier this year, state
elected officials helped advocate for funds to further invest in the
Emergency Department, including external improvements like a new curb
cut and widened entranceway for EMTs.

</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #1f497d;"> </span></p><p>
The newly completed ED includes expanded clinical
space, additional nursing stations, a behavioral health safe room, and
enhanced imaging technology so patients no longer need to cross the
harbor for state-of-the-art imaging and CT scanning
services.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_CGpP2D1FR1eXBqz3Y-BHfJDd7_0pR55tIYPJqcbSNfGnN25SSIPRwpOlpHJbPEHtvQ_J2dMJNlevs0ArHj-zdsX9DK0-2DVTxEQpHS9UcDf--SgUfNmvjSMHjHmHf8SVzwG4MmsCIwVcf33ISt6tDAom8C4q13xGqA3C1_YZGs306eoTy55y699yXSM/s1200/June30-2023-SecFiandaca.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1200" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_CGpP2D1FR1eXBqz3Y-BHfJDd7_0pR55tIYPJqcbSNfGnN25SSIPRwpOlpHJbPEHtvQ_J2dMJNlevs0ArHj-zdsX9DK0-2DVTxEQpHS9UcDf--SgUfNmvjSMHjHmHf8SVzwG4MmsCIwVcf33ISt6tDAom8C4q13xGqA3C1_YZGs306eoTy55y699yXSM/w640-h480/June30-2023-SecFiandaca.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIIy4uouMO58dOXk8hwbsvUyVYp1Mwa1wEZxPCvwV2DGRCtExQ1WfvMCm2nH2K06X2ptcfUpk2wlFV3QTIYJL9FlapvGXz4Mdwd-_s_b00MlwnXZwc_S-D1mgoBMR9UTSkpwVtkXhrEGAsXL1ZIbM1kAb_NylsNMDFedqEvBnSddrILBJ1gm_JRcgKurc/s1200/June30-2023pub-SecFiandacatour.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="642" data-original-width="1200" height="342" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIIy4uouMO58dOXk8hwbsvUyVYp1Mwa1wEZxPCvwV2DGRCtExQ1WfvMCm2nH2K06X2ptcfUpk2wlFV3QTIYJL9FlapvGXz4Mdwd-_s_b00MlwnXZwc_S-D1mgoBMR9UTSkpwVtkXhrEGAsXL1ZIbM1kAb_NylsNMDFedqEvBnSddrILBJ1gm_JRcgKurc/w640-h342/June30-2023pub-SecFiandacatour.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p> </p><p> </p>Frank Contehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09456051764089586989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235645996381716622.post-89671089872484944902023-07-02T09:40:00.004-07:002023-07-02T09:42:26.345-07:00EB Man sentenced to 10 Years in prison for drug trafficking following two-kilogram cocaine deal<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZivXnhBEFJN3q2C2LDmEm0y14tSzhj8Dx39kEGF8_ypTVQCZO1Bj1rfG_IA8BrFzwrmEEEWVYEv7ARYjklSaiph3n7OcoF8PlzhHYxi1ULRg6WoBHDC8wGk3mDhVWP7qrjHqbQIpSZiavaPYLC5HQdAGnMCi5LOEzpC_KinSoJd4wkQiE_-PaCCsvvb8/s1200/DOJ2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="889" data-original-width="1200" height="474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZivXnhBEFJN3q2C2LDmEm0y14tSzhj8Dx39kEGF8_ypTVQCZO1Bj1rfG_IA8BrFzwrmEEEWVYEv7ARYjklSaiph3n7OcoF8PlzhHYxi1ULRg6WoBHDC8wGk3mDhVWP7qrjHqbQIpSZiavaPYLC5HQdAGnMCi5LOEzpC_KinSoJd4wkQiE_-PaCCsvvb8/w640-h474/DOJ2.jpg" width="640" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><br /><p></p><div class="node-subtitle">

<p>BOSTON
– A Boston man was sentenced yesterday for selling two kilograms of
cocaine and possessing nearly one kilogram of heroin as well as a
high-powered rifle in East Boston.<br />
<br />
Carlos Acosta Estrella, 33, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge
Leo T. Sorokin to 10 years in prison and eight years of supervised
release. In September 2022, Estrella pleaded guilty to one count of
possession with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine, one
count of possession with intent to distribute 100 grams or more of
heroin and one count of possession of a firearm during a drug
trafficking offense. Estrella was indicted along with his mother, Ana
Guadalupe Acosta Grajeda, in October 2019.</p>
<p>Estrella and Grajeda were arrested after they were videotaped selling
two kilograms of cocaine to a cooperating witness in East Boston. A
search of Estrella and Grajeda’s apartment in East Boston resulted in
the seizure of nearly one kilogram of heroin, an additional kilogram of
cocaine, numerous cellphones, a high-powered tactical shotgun with a
laser sight and a box of ammunition for the shotgun.</p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjcNvwfh67p7KZaRB_X_1C3wzpYp2ssTvhIF-Mr_GWZhhdc-3MWFrFmhH9DvkFEn7G4Ii_avaMxIUbl3-ovEiZJPhfLvVgMd-XbHN7TWpJ6MYc5ylFWkIOglfy6h6rOHeECDum7ob93Tbc6u00wkw3j_N7zTymWRAni5ix5wZYZ7E1mZqdou6rXY_D-4s/s919/CaptureDOJManSentencedTo10years.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="673" data-original-width="919" height="468" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjcNvwfh67p7KZaRB_X_1C3wzpYp2ssTvhIF-Mr_GWZhhdc-3MWFrFmhH9DvkFEn7G4Ii_avaMxIUbl3-ovEiZJPhfLvVgMd-XbHN7TWpJ6MYc5ylFWkIOglfy6h6rOHeECDum7ob93Tbc6u00wkw3j_N7zTymWRAni5ix5wZYZ7E1mZqdou6rXY_D-4s/w640-h468/CaptureDOJManSentencedTo10years.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p> </p>Frank Contehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09456051764089586989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235645996381716622.post-64194690821995309772023-07-02T08:27:00.004-07:002023-07-02T08:27:31.304-07:00Massport Awards Annual Richards Memorial Scholarship<p> <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

These services will expand access to in-person city services and programming and opportunities for Boston families ahead of summer, as public health metrics continue to improve.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">“As the City prepares for summer and our continued recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, it is critical that we bring more city services back in person, especially as our public health metrics improve,” said Mayor Janey. “I want to thank all of our city departments that pivoted at the beginning of the pandemic to continue to deliver critical services to residents safely. I’m excited to welcome back more residents to City Hall and for the joy that reopening our libraries and city-sponsored summer programming will bring.”</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">As of May 4, 2021, 44.3 percent of Bostonians are fully vaccinated, and 64.5 percent have received at least one dose. The citywide community positivity rate continues to decrease, dropping to 2.4 percent, with no neighborhoods above the 5.0 percent threshold. New positive tests in the City of Boston decreased by 28 percent over the past week, averaging 80.1 new positive tests per day. The total number of COVID-19 tests conducted in Boston remained stable at 2,960 tests, a decrease of 1% in the past week. COVID-related emergency room visits decreased by 6 percent over a two week period, and the percentage of occupied non-surgical ICU beds is 91 percent, under the threshold of 95 percent. We currently have 75 COVID-19 patients in Boston hospitals. That is one of the lowest numbers recorded since the start of the pandemic. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Boston Public Health Commission closely tracks six core metrics to monitor the progress of the City’s response, to guide decision making and to shape our response moving forward. The metrics being monitored include trends related to the number of positive tests, overall positivity and how COVID-19 is impacting our healthcare system. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Due to continuing improvement in the City’s COVID-19 metrics, the following service changes will take effect in the coming weeks:</span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">Boston City Hall</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Starting Monday, June 7, 2021, Boston City Hall will be open to the public by appointment only for a fourth day each week. In addition to Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, residents will be able to make in-person appointments on Monday as well. For the latest status of City departments, visit here.</span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">Boston Public Library</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Boston Public Library will reopen for limited in-person services in June. With these expanded services, BPL will prioritize bringing back critical services that help residents with economic and educational recovery, and will be scheduling robust summer programming for both adults and youth. All reopening plans will follow the latest public health guidance, and BPL will provide further information in the coming weeks. </span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">Boston Center for Youth & Families (BCYF)</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Boston Centers for Youth & Families (BCYF) will increase its youth programming to align with Phase Four, Step One of the Reopening Massachusetts plan. This will allow for the expansion of programming for children and youth, including arts and crafts, fitness classes, and game nights. Additionally, BCYF will offer summer day programs at several centers this summer, including Camp Joy, which provides programming for children and young adults with special needs. BCYF will provide further updates about their summer programming in the coming weeks, all in accordance with public health guidance. For more information, visit boston.gov/BCYF.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">“Boston’s long fight against COVID-19 is starting to bring the end of this pandemic into view,” said Mayor Janey. “I’ve asked my chiefs of Health and Human Services and Economic Development to take a look at accelerating Boston’s reopening timeline, in light of improving public health metrics across all of Boston’s communities.”</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"> The City of Boston will continue to monitor public health metrics and adjust services and openings based on the latest COVID-19 data and trends. For more information on reopening, visit boston.gov/reopening. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Source: Mayor's Press Office</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p>Frank Contehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09456051764089586989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235645996381716622.post-79038170396526568262021-05-04T13:24:00.003-07:002021-05-04T13:24:40.040-07:00Mayor Janey calls on Eversource to cancel the proposed substation in East Boston<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="galileo-ap-layout-editor" style="min-width: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td align="left" class="editor-logo editor-col OneColumnMobile" valign="top" width="100%"><div class="gl-contains-text"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="min-width: 100%; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td align="left" class="editor-text " style="color: #403f42; display: block; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.2; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 10px 20px;" valign="top"><div class="text-container galileo-ap-content-editor"><div align="center" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">East Boston News</span></div></div>

substation plan is based on flawed projections and flawed priorities. I
urge Eversource to prioritize environmental equity and the wellbeing of
East Boston residents over their profits.”</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: black; font-size: 15px;">In
February 2021, the Massachusetts Energy Facilities Siting Board gave
its final approval for an electrical substation near Chelsea Creek in
East Boston. Eversource Energy made the initial proposal in 2013,
stating the facility was necessary to support the capacity of a
substation in Chelsea. Eversource’s initial estimates for projected
energy demand have not been met and new, adjusted data has not been
shared publicly. Community members have expressed opposition over the
proposal, due to concerns about public safety and environmental
justice. </span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: black; font-size: 15px;">“Environmental
justice says we need to ask hard questions about who is asked to carry
the burden and who receives the benefits,” said Chief of Environment,
Energy and Open Space Mariama White-Hammond. “I stand with the Mayor and
the residents of East Boston to protect those residents who already
experience so many burdens. In addition to questioning whether we really
need this facility, we need to understand whether or not this facility
is in alignment with very real changes that are happening on our planet.
I look forward to continuing to work with the community to ensure
environmental justice for all residents of Boston.”</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-size: 15px;">East Boston is considered a state designated Environmental Justice Community. </span><a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001HTWIJrp4r4tpsxp5UR9S7e77I_Db0Wmu7Sz1OKzkC80m5YnpuLcXuduAjoxkiJ5aNUVRt01Ban5VY48mWY24vzRy5MrcfK4Q5_tpoALwagKLUY1WOPhw3f9fFbLWiaqyfnxZawiMG5QBC650TfZLM8lwMHqs1nJ40VjFn749v9gi2t0Efvj-WS7IVumYStTAE4VeWRLPW33TJ_O09HmbPI7dUWQ5Xz17&c=zAldcLTnFTzbSYJTXo59jy-RJvgGg4t-RRD5CqvQAMTIlcbNJvU-dQ==&ch=fQVS4w7wmH3NFP-bIwxM0fCBq65uxxkz10PNHA6kO9tVG3uttNewWQ==" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: #1155cc; font-size: 15px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">64 percent of community members are people of color and 54 percent of the community are immigrants</a><span style="color: black; font-size: 15px;">.
This area faces a variety of environmental hazards, such as noise and
air pollution from Logan International Airport, traffic congestion,
storage of fuel, manufacturing processes along the Chelsea Creek, as
well as storage of road salt and sand along the Chelsea Creek. The
proposed location for the substation is adjacent to City Yards, a highly
utilized public park where children play, which could lead to potential
safety hazards. Climate change and rapid sea-level rise exacerbate the
potential danger of having an electrical substation on the waterfront.
The citing of this substation in an environmental justice community
already facing several environmental hazards, combined with the exposure
to children and the risk of flooding, is unsafe. </span>

<div><span style="color: black; font-size: 15px;">"Families
in East Boston have been through a lot this past year and we hope that
our parks can remain an environmentally safe and inviting space for our
children,” said Noemy Rodriguez of GreenRoots. “We carry enough of an
environmental burden already; if actually needed this substation should
be placed somewhere else."</span></div>

NAGE becomes the latest labor union to throw their support behind Santiago, following Laborers Local 223, the Dorchester-based building trades group. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">“On behalf of the 20,000 NAGE members living and working in Massachusetts and more than 2,000 in the City of Boston, I am proud to announce our support of Jon Santiago for Mayor of Boston,” said David Holway, national president. “This is the most consequential election in the history of Boston and our members believe in Jon Santiago’s ability to unify the city through proven crisis leadership and foster a recovery rooted in equity and opportunity for all.” </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">NAGE represents public and private workers including federal, state and municipal employees including first responders, correctional officers, nurses and emergency medical technicians and office workers. NAGE affiliated with SEIU in 1982 and remains committed to empowering union workers of every race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, age, physical ability and sexual orientation and building lasting economic security for their members. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">“I am honored and humbled that NAGE workers from here in Boston and across our state have placed their trust in me and are joining this movement to build our city back from this pandemic, stronger than ever before,” said Santiago. “By building this coalition of working people and neighbors from every background who share our vision for a recovery rooted in equity and opportunity, we’re going to bring Boston together and strengthen the way our city serves its people. I can’t wait to have the men and women of NAGE / SEIU Local 5000 at our side in this campaign as we write the next chapter of our Boston story.” </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">With today’s endorsement, NAGE joins a list of endorsers supporting Santiago for mayor. The group includes Ways and Means Chairman Aaron Michlewitz of the North End, Assistant Majority Leader Mike Moran and Representatives Kevin Honan of Allston, Rep. Ed Coppinger of West Roxbury and Rep. Dan Ryan of Charlestown. Other notable endorsements for Santiago include Dorchester’s Laborers Local Union 223, community leader Horace Small, former Executive Director of the Union of Minority Neighborhoods, and the Latino Victory Fund. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Jon Santiago is currently serving his second term as the State Representative for the 9th Suffolk District representing the South End, Roxbury, Back Bay, and Fenway neighborhoods of Boston.

The City of Boston will delay most of the state’s reopening guidance announced today by three weeks, in an effort to accommodate the unique preparations needed by the City. In late March, the City announced that it would not move forward with additional reopening steps until the citywide positivity rate remained at or below 2.75 percent for two consecutive weeks. It is currently at 3.6 percent. However, given improved trends in the positivity rate and other COVID-19 public health metrics, the City will move cautiously to advance reopening efforts. The latest modified update will support Boston’s economic recovery as COVID-19 health metrics continue to improve. All reopening guidance will be subject to current COVID-19 public health data.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">As of April 20, 2021, 33.1 percent of Bostonians are fully vaccinated; 55.1 percent have received at least one dose. The citywide community positivity rate continues to decrease, dropping to 3.6 percent, with three neighborhoods slightly above the 5.0 percent threshold (East Boston, Dorchester and Roslindale). New positive tests in the City of Boston decreased by 34 percent over the past week, averaging 144 new positive tests per day. The percentage of available adult ICU beds remains stable, and the percentage of non-surge ICU beds continues to be below the City’s threshold. Boston has had two reported deaths in the past week. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">“In every aspect of Boston's reopening, we will take the right measures, at the right time, to protect our people and businesses,” said Mayor Janey. “As we look ahead to better days, we must remember that the COVID-19 pandemic is not over. Reopening our economy does not remove our personal and collective responsibility to remain vigilant. Thank you to all Bostonians for your continued efforts and cooperation as we reopen our city.”</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Effective Friday, April 30, the City of Boston will align with Commonwealth’s updated Face Coverings Order. This states that face coverings will be required at all times at indoor and outdoor venues and events, except when eating or drinking. Face coverings are recommended to be worn both inside and outside during small gatherings at private homes. Face coverings are not required outside in public spaces when individuals are able to remain at a safe distance from others.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Also effective April 30, public gatherings in Boston may increase to 100 people indoors and 150 people outdoors, in alignment with the Commonwealth's previously announced limits. In Boston, all private gatherings and events in private residences will remain subject to current capacity limits of 10 people indoors and 25 people outdoors. However, public and private gathering limits will increase to 200 people indoors and 250 people outdoors on June 19 in Boston, three weeks after the higher limits go into effect in other parts of the Commonwealth. The City of Boston and the Boston Public Health Commission will continue to closely monitor public health data and adjust reopening plans as necessary.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The City of Boston will align with the Commonwealth’s updated guidance for indoor and outdoor stadiums, arenas and ballparks, allowing capacity to increase to 25 percent, effective May 10.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The City of Boston plans to allow the following industries to reopen or resume June 1, subject to certain capacity limits and safety measures, three weeks after the Commonwealth will allow for their reopening in other parts of the state:</span></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Road races and other large, outdoor organized amateur or professional group athletic events</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Youth and adult amateur sports tournaments for moderate and high-risk sports</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Singing indoors at performance venues, restaurants, event venues and other businesses, subject to the Commonwealth’s Theater and Performance Venue guidance</span></li></ul><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The City of Boston plans to allow the following industries to reopen or resume starting June 19, subject to certain capacity limits and safety measures, three weeks after the Commonwealth will allow for their reopening in other parts of the state:</span></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Street festivals, parades and agricultural festivals, at 50 percent capacity</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Bars, beer gardens, breweries, wineries and distilleries for seated-service only, subject to a 90-minute table limit, and no dance floors.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Food will no longer be required with alcohol service, and 10 people can be seated at a table.</span></li></ul><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">If public health metrics support continued safe reopening in Boston, effective August 22, industry restrictions will be lifted, and 100 percent capacity will be allowed for all industries. This would be three weeks after the Commonwealth takes this step in other parts of the state. Remaining Phase Four, Step Two industries and businesses, including dance clubs and nightclubs; saunas, hot tubs, steam rooms, and health clubs; and ball pits, would be allowed to reopen on August 22 in Boston.

The events, held throughout May, are organized by MassHire Downtown Boston Career Center, the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department, BeProximate, and Project Opportunity, a City initiative that works to create equitable opportunities for residents with criminal records (CORIs).<br /><br />“Each year, more than 3,000 people return to Boston upon their release from incarceration,” said Mayor Janey. “These returning citizens deserve the opportunity to create a fresh start and make positive contributions to their community. But that transition depends on our support. A second chance begins with a job prospect, an education pathway, the critical resources for daily living – exactly the things this job fair series promotes.”<br /><br />In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, series partners have worked together to ensure that inmates at Suffolk County Jail and Suffolk County House of Correction can participate in the virtual events. Both facilities are operated by the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department. <br /> <br />“We know that good, sustainable employment is one of the critical elements for the success of anyone returning to society from incarceration,” said Sheriff Steven W. Tompkins. “This is why we offer many different skills-building and job preparedness training programs for the men and women in our care and custody. Unfortunately, the CORI continues to be an obstacle for many returning citizens seeking employment, so access to resources and opportunities like these is extremely important.” <br /><br />“At MassHire Downtown Boston Career Center, we recognize the significant barriers to employment faced by returning citizens and individuals with CORIs,” said Doreen Treacy VP of Career Services at MassHire Downtown Boston. “We are committed to helping reduce these barriers by equipping jobseekers with the tools they need and connecting them to hiring events and resources.” <br /> <br />The event series is free and open to all Massachusetts residents, but requires participants to register at tinyurl.com/JobEdFair. The schedule of events is as follows:<br /> <br /><br /> Why and How to Create a Resume: Tuesday, May 4, 1-2:30 p.m.<br /> Interview Basics: Thursday, May 6, 1-2:30 p.m.<br /> Job Fair Prep: Tuesday, May 11, 1-2:30 p.m.<br /> Job Fair: Wednesday, May 19, 1-2:30 p.m.<br /> Education/Resource Fair: Friday, May 21, 1-2:30 p.m.<br /><br /> <br />The job fair will feature Amazon, Flour Bakery, Greater Boston Food Bank, Monroe Staffing, VPNE, and Whole Foods Market, with more employers to come.<br /><br />Mayor Janey has proclaimed the final week of the series, May 17 - May 21, – which culminates in the job fair and education/resource fair – “Second Chance and Reentry Week” in Boston. The week will include an exhibit and panel discussions organized by BeProximate to advocate for the support of returning citizens. Speakers will include Suffolk County D.A. Rachael Rollins, Suffolk County Sheriff Steven W. Tompkins, and State Rep. Liz Miranda.<br /> <br />“In the City of Boston, cross-sector fertilization drives social innovation to address both citywide and neighborhood-specific needs,” said BeProximate founder Diana Saintil. “However, we must extend our politics beyond our personal proclivities to devise cross-sector solutions to address the most salient reentry challenges in housing, employment, health, and education for returning citizens. We must BeProximate to people with empathy. Proximity with apathy is too great a threat to transformational change.”<br /> <br />In addition to promoting career development opportunities, the event series also extends the outreach of Project Opportunity, a collaboration of the Mayor’s Office of Workforce Development, the Mayor’s Office of Public Safety, the Mayor’s Office of Returning Citizens, and SOAR Boston. Project Opportunity connects residents with free legal consultation to review the potential for sealing or expunging their CORIs. The City of Boston pays for the cost of accessing a CORI, while partner Lawyers Clearinghouse provides legal consultation and full representation if an individual’s record can be sealed or expunged.<br /><br />The job fair series also supports the mission of the Mayor’s upcoming 2021 Summer Violence Prevention Plan. The Plan develops a framework to scale up prosocial activities, strengthen intervention efforts, ensure neighborhoods are supported and connected to resources, expand intentional outreach and engagement for specific populations, and provide positive activities and community engagement in public spaces. <br /></p><p>Source: Mayor's Office 4/27/2021<br /></p><p>Read more local news at http://www.eastboston.com<br /><br /></p>Frank Contehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09456051764089586989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235645996381716622.post-3515313328719439592021-04-25T18:53:00.003-07:002021-04-25T18:53:16.326-07:00Charlestown's state Representative Dan Ryan is the latest Boston official to endorse Santiago for Mayor<p style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5VVK1CUJKmb1CeKn9V65rIRW-o47u05O6-iyYMRzhQi0BGF1n6cSJc6wJCdRL1bS_hRFTdxy9ImE92byfaBHPFtvBI23eGy-uXsIlYBQCrawFLtecqV0xY7DubsilMOJJYEsFwh2rVfw/s2048/Santiago+Headshot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5VVK1CUJKmb1CeKn9V65rIRW-o47u05O6-iyYMRzhQi0BGF1n6cSJc6wJCdRL1bS_hRFTdxy9ImE92byfaBHPFtvBI23eGy-uXsIlYBQCrawFLtecqV0xY7DubsilMOJJYEsFwh2rVfw/s320/Santiago+Headshot.jpg" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: small;">(BOSTON, April 25, 2021)—Jon Santiago has earned the endorsement of another Boston legislator with Charlestown State Representative Dan Ryan joining his campaign for mayor.<br /><br /><br />“I’m proud to support Jon Santiago for mayor and am excited to begin campaigning side by side with him,” said Ryan. “Dr. Santiago is a proven leader of teams, a passionate public servant, and front-line healthcare worker that we need in this moment for our city.

In a Roxbury courtroom, a man was arraigned in the near-fatal beating of a senior citizen inside the victim’s own home, while the man charged with killing 28-year-old Kerwide Barthelemy as the victim attempted to break up a fight faced arraignment in East Boston.<br /><br />During a proceeding conducted via Zoom, WYSE RICHARDSON, 23, was arraigned on charges of aggravated assault and battery on a person over 60 and aggravated burglary. Judge Debra Delvecchio of the Roxbury Division of the Boston Municipal Court ordered Mr. Richardson to undergo an evaluation at Bridgewater State Hospital.<br /><br />Mr. Richardson is accused of breaking into a Pompeii Street apartment building and violently beating a 66-year-old resident and ransacking the man’s apartment at approximately 11 p.m. on Christmas Eve. The victim suffered a serious head injury and was transported to an area hospital. The victim remains hospitalized. Based on the severity of the victim’s injuries, the case is under investigation by detectives assigned to the Boston Police Department Homicide Unit.<br /><br />In a separate, telephonic proceeding in the East Boston Division of the Boston Municipal Court, STEVEN HATFIELD, 36, was arraigned on a charge of murder in Mr. Barthelemy’s December 24, 2020, stabbing death in Maverick Square. At the request of Assistant District Attorney Amy Martin, Judge John McDonald ordered Hatfield held without bail and ordered that he stay away from and have no contact with witnesses in the case or the victim’s family.<br /><br />Shortly after 9 p.m. on Christmas Eve, Mr. Hatfield became involved in a physical altercation with another individual in the area of Maverick Square in East Boston. When Mr. Barthelemy attempted to intervene, Mr. Hatfield allegedly stabbed him in the torso, mortally wounding the victim.<br /><br />Mr. Hatfield, who had blood on his clothing from the attack, fled into his South Bremen Street apartment building. Inside the building, he began to yell and behave in a manner that prompted the building’s security guard to call police. Boston Police who responded to the stabbing also arrived at the building after learning that the assailant resided there.<br /><br />“The holiday season is supposed to be a time of joy and happiness. For a loved one’s life to be ripped away on Christmas Eve inflicts additional pain during this already challenging time,” District Attorney Rollins said. “The violence these two men are accused of inflicting is deeply troubling. Each will be held accountable for their actions. Just as importantly, my staff and I are here to ensure that Mr. Barthelemy’s loved ones as well as the Roxbury man currently fighting for his life and his loved ones have the services they deserve and may require at every step of their path in the legal process and on their journey toward healing.”<br /><br />Elise McConnell and Anite Cetoute are the assigned victim witness advocates. Attorney Joseph Simons represents Mr. Hatfield. His case returns to court January 28, 2021. Mr. Richardson was represented at arraignment by Byron Knight. The case returns to court January 15, 2021.</p>Frank Contehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09456051764089586989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235645996381716622.post-88370486026865971712020-12-15T07:48:00.002-08:002020-12-15T07:50:01.993-08:00Pipefitters Union Holiday Charity Drive Provides Food and Toys for Boston Families<p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>In light of surging COVID-19 rates, record-high food insecurity, Union’s donations bring joy to families facing economic and health impacts of the pandemic </i> </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">BOSTON, MA — Pipefitters Local 537, one of Boston’s largest unions, held a charitable drive Saturday at their Union Hall to collect donations to aid struggling community members this holiday season. The initiative comes at a time when thousands of families are facing food and financial insecurity with the impact of COVID-19. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">“This has been a challenging year for many working families, and it can be even harder during the holidays,” said Pipefitters Local 537 Business Manager/Financial Secretary-Treasurer Tom Kerr. “Giving a bag of groceries or a brand-new toy to a child this holiday season is the least we can do for our neighbors.” </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Local 537 collected an estimated $20,000 of brand-new toys for Marine Toys for Tots, including Lego sets, games, dolls, and sports equipment, in addition to hundreds of pounds of non-perishable food items for Catholic Charities Food Pantry in Dorchester. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2tykXHIsv0YxhaebDX_IB5pC_iYnpQf-YGx8BCXrXBkUEhyphenhyphenH8g4vo5NAOX2Ta2oJi6vmc9lCTjR86E_o3xEPHZVCoY4u4aOzRLl8b1sXhHpYuzbcuaQktmXQIxkAS20kfTAwwGLqGcQM/s1368/PipefittersTOYSforTOTS2020-12-15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="909" data-original-width="1368" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2tykXHIsv0YxhaebDX_IB5pC_iYnpQf-YGx8BCXrXBkUEhyphenhyphenH8g4vo5NAOX2Ta2oJi6vmc9lCTjR86E_o3xEPHZVCoY4u4aOzRLl8b1sXhHpYuzbcuaQktmXQIxkAS20kfTAwwGLqGcQM/w640-h426/PipefittersTOYSforTOTS2020-12-15.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">“I’m blown away by the donations and kindness shown by our fellow members this weekend,” said Local 537 Organizer and Toys for Tots Coordinator Chris Brennan, whose one son is an Air Force veteran and the other is currently serving in the U.S. Navy. “As parents, we always want our kids, and every kid, to have a great, fun holiday.” In the coming days, Brennan, Marine veteran and Local 537 Inside Guard Danny O’Brien, and a team of union members will work as Santa’s helpers, coordinating with Toys for Tots to distribute the toy donations. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Dorchester, East Boston, and Hyde Park have some of the city’s highest rates of COVID-19. The severe economic impact of the pandemic has left many families without the income they depend on to pay daily living expenses. As food bank visits remain at an all-time high, Massachusetts has the highest percentage of residents facing hunger in the country, nearly one million people.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Throughout the pandemic, Local 537 has been working to help local communities. Its Charitable Foundation donated $20,000 to the Greater Boston Food Bank ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, which provided 60,000 nutritious meals to at-risk residents across the Commonwealth. The Union also donated much-needed PPE (gloves, goggles and face shields) to Quincy’s Manet Community Health Care Center.</span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">About Pipefitters Local 537: </span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Pipefitters Local 537 represents over 3,000 members across Massachusetts and is affiliated with the United Association.
