MBTA to submit report to address worker safety

Published Sun, 02 Feb 2025 11:09:31 GMT

The MBTA is set to submit a plan to federal regulators on Monday detailing ways it plans to address worker safety issues.They say a plan submitted by the MBTA earlier this month needs to be redone immediately because it includes fixes not scheduled to be complete until late this year, or next year. Federal officials say worker safety needs to be addressed within the next 60 days and longer-term actions can come later. If they can’t come up with a plan and comply with the federal requirements officials say they won’t allow workers onto the tracks.In a separate letter, federal authorities approve of the T’s restructuring plan to focus on train safety issues but write, “FTA remains concerned about the staffing levels within the Safety Department.”They say MBTA officials need to fast-track their efforts to staff it, and provide weekly updates to federal officials.Riders are waiting to see what it means for them.

Boston Shootout: BABC squads dominate

Published Sun, 02 Feb 2025 11:09:31 GMT

QUINCY — It became THE question during the 2023 Boston Shootout at Quincy’s YMCA.It was not whether the BABC 16-and-under team was better than its competition. And, similarly, if the club’s 17-and-under squad had any peers there.No, it was more like this: what would happen if the BABC’s 16s and 17s played each other, because those were clearly the best teams on Sunday.In two romps, the 16s beat the New York Jayhawks, 82-23, and the 17s beat the same Jayhawks program, 98-51.The man most qualified to give an accurate response is head of the BABC, Leo Papile.“The older guys would outfox them because of experience,” Papile said. “The little guys would go down swinging. We run the same stuff, so it would be really physical, up on each other, knowing what’s going to happen. It would become like a football game. The older guys would win the line of scrimmage battle and end up beating them by 20.”Maybe, but it is hard to imagine the 16s losing...

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern on Monday received one of New Zealand’s highest honors for her service leading the country through a mass shooting and pandemic.Ardern was made a Dame Grand Companion, the second-highest honor in New Zealand, as part of King Charles III’s Birthday Honors.

Ardern was just 37 when she became prime minister in 2017, and was seen as a global icon of the left.She shocked New Zealanders in January when she said she was stepping down as leader after more than five years because she no longer had “enough in the tank” to do it justice.She was facing mounting political pressures at home, including for her handling of COVID-19, which was initially widely lauded but later criticized by thos...
