美国新闻一则NATIONAL美丹就格陵兰(Greenland)安全达成协议
U.S. and Denmark reach a security deal on Greenland
格陵兰(Greenland)是丹麦管辖下的北极自治岛。特朗普此前多次提出要买下该岛，今年初还曾以关税向丹麦施压，1月撤回。9月18日他宣布与丹麦达成协议，美国获得格陵兰的「永久安全控制」。据哥伦比亚广播公司报道，美国国务院官员表示，美国可永久进入该岛、使用其领空，军方可增设基地，非北约国家不得在岛上建军事基地；丹麦与格陵兰政府均证实协议，预计9月22日（下周二）在纽约签署。
Greenland is a semi-autonomous Arctic island overseen by Denmark. Trump had repeatedly proposed buying it and earlier this year pressed Denmark with tariff threats, which he dropped in January. On Sept. 18 he announced a deal with Denmark giving the U.S. 'permanent control over security' in Greenland. CBS News reports that a State Department official said the U.S. gets permanent access and overflight rights, the military may add bases, and non-NATO countries are barred from building military bases there; the Danish and Greenlandic governments confirmed the deal, which is expected to be signed in New York on Tuesday, Sept. 22.
社区影响格陵兰位于北美与欧洲之间，隔北冰洋与俄罗斯相望，美国自上世纪50年代起就在岛上设有基地。丹麦首相表示协议承认丹麦主权和格陵兰人民的自决权，协议仍须经丹麦议会程序。此事短期内不改变本地华人家庭的日常生活。
COMMUNITY IMPACTGreenland sits between North America and Europe, across the Arctic Ocean from Russia, and the U.S. has had a base there since the 1950s. Denmark's prime minister says the deal recognizes Danish sovereignty and Greenlanders' right to self-determination, and it still has to go through Denmark's parliament. In the near term it changes nothing in the daily life of local Chinese families.
名词解释Glossary NATO：北约；semi-autonomous territory：自治领地；overflight rights：飞越领空权

本地新闻LOCAL NEWS奇兰(Chelan)山火案再捕三名年轻人
Three more young men arrested in the deadly Chelan Hills fire
据《贝尔维尤报》报道，7月4日道格拉斯县(Douglas County)实行禁火令期间，有人从行驶中的卡车上燃放罗马烛光烟花，点燃97号公路旁的干草，引发奇兰山火(Chelan Hills Fire)，一名69岁男子死亡，六名消防员受伤，100多栋建筑被毁。被控点火的18岁肯特(Kent)男子9月17日出庭表示不认罪，保释金100万美元；同日警方在联邦法警协助下，又逮捕了塔科马(Tacoma)等地三名十八九岁的男子。
The Bellevue Reporter reports that on July 4, while Douglas County was under a burn ban, people fired Roman candles from a moving truck, igniting dry grass along U.S. Highway 97 and starting the Chelan Hills fire, which killed a 69-year-old man, injured six firefighters and destroyed more than 100 structures. The 18-year-old Kent man charged with lighting it pleaded not guilty on Sept. 17 and is held on $1 million bail; the same day, with help from the U.S. Marshals, police arrested three more men aged 18 and 19 from Tacoma and nearby towns.
社区影响华州夏秋干燥季节常有禁火令，期间禁放任何烟花。按检方起诉内容，燃放者即使无意伤人，也可能被控一级过失杀人和一级纵火等重罪。家有十几20岁孩子的本地华人家庭，宜提醒他们禁火期间不碰烟花，更不可从车上往外燃放。
COMMUNITY IMPACTWashington's dry summer and fall often bring burn bans that prohibit all fireworks. Under the charges filed here, people who set off fireworks can face felonies such as first-degree manslaughter and first-degree arson even if they meant no harm. Local Chinese families with teenage or young-adult children should remind them to stay away from fireworks during a burn ban, and never to fire them from a vehicle.
名词解释Glossary burn ban：禁火令；first-degree manslaughter：一级过失杀人；Roman candle：罗马烛光烟花

本地新闻LOCAL NEWS华州与联邦指控安利误导卖家 和解赔2亿多
Washington and the FTC accuse Amway of misleading sellers; $225 million settlement
安利(Amway)是密歇根州一家直销公司，靠个人经销商向亲友卖保健品和日用品，经销商还可从自己拉来的下线的销售中提成。据《西雅图时报》报道，华州与联邦贸易委员会指控安利及两家培训机构用不实的收入承诺拉人入伙，再逼卖家买下不想要、也难卖出去的货。9月17日双方宣布和解，安利方面支付2.25亿美元，几乎全部用于补偿经这两家培训机构入行、亏了钱的卖家；安利不承认有违法行为。
Amway is a Michigan direct-selling company whose independent sellers sell supplements and household goods to friends and family, and can also earn a cut of the sales of people they recruit. The Seattle Times reports that Washington and the Federal Trade Commission accused Amway and two training companies of luring people in with false earnings claims and then pressuring them to buy products they did not want and could not easily sell. On Sept. 17 the parties announced a settlement: Amway and its affiliates will pay $225 million, nearly all of it to sellers who joined through the two training companies and lost money. Amway admits no wrongdoing.
社区影响华州加入诉讼，是因为受害者多住在斯波坎(Spokane)和西雅图一带，培训活动常在塔科马体育馆和林伍德会展中心举办。赔偿办法由联邦贸易委员会日后公布；该机构表示从不要求当事人先转账才能领退款，凡以此为由要钱的都是骗局。
COMMUNITY IMPACTWashington joined the case because many of those harmed live around Spokane and Seattle, and training events were often held at the Tacoma Dome and the Lynnwood Convention Center. The FTC will announce how compensation works later; it says it never requires anyone to transfer money to get a refund, and anyone who asks for payment on that pretext is running a scam.
名词解释Glossary multilevel marketing：多层次直销；Federal Trade Commission：联邦贸易委员会；independent business owner：独立经销商

废除富人所得税的645号公投案 10月8日电视辩论
TV debate Oct. 8 on I-645, the measure to repeal the millionaires tax
华州已立法对个人或家庭年收入超过100万美元的部分征收9.9%的所得税，定于2028年开征；645号公投案(I-645)要把这项税废除，并禁止州和地方开征任何所得税，由今年11月的选民决定。收入远不到100万的家庭不直接交这笔税，但它关系到州预算有多少钱可花，投票前值得听听双方的说法。KING 5电视台和《西雅图时报》10月8日晚八点合办一小时辩论，在KONG电视台直播，网上同步播出。
Washington has enacted a 9.9% tax on individual or household income above $1 million, scheduled to start in 2028; Initiative 645 would repeal it and bar any state or local income tax, and voters decide in November. Households earning far less than $1 million would not pay it directly, but it affects how much the state has to spend, so it is worth hearing both sides before voting. KING 5 and The Seattle Times will host an hourlong debate at 8 p.m. on Oct. 8, live on KONG-TV and streamed online.

贝尔维尤(Bellevue)一家诊所险遭纵火 嫌犯落网
Man arrested after attempted arson at a Bellevue clinic
9月18日凌晨，贝尔维尤东北八街(NE 8th Street)1.4万号街段的计划生育联盟(Planned Parenthood)诊所有人企图纵火。贝尔维尤警方说，这栋楼是被人有计划地盯上的，嫌犯已被关押，目前对社区和诊所都已没有威胁。住在附近或常去那一带办事的长者不必惊慌，夜里看到有人在店铺门口形迹可疑，可直接拨打911。
Early on Sept. 18, someone tried to set fire to the Planned Parenthood clinic in the 14,000 block of NE 8th Street in Bellevue. Bellevue police say the building was deliberately targeted, the suspect is in custody, and there is no longer a threat to the community or the clinic. Seniors who live nearby or run errands there need not worry; anyone who sees suspicious activity at a storefront at night can call 911.

默瑟岛(Mercer Island)讲座教家长防孩子遭网上性勒索
Mercer Island webinar teaches parents to guard children against online sextortion
性勒索，是骗子在网上诱骗孩子发私密照片，再以公开照片相要挟、索要钱财；默瑟岛学区9月15日为此办了一场网上讲座，请来联邦司法部和华州西区联邦检察官办公室的检察官主讲。讲座引用的数字显示，以钱为目的的性勒索报案从2022年的10731宗，增至2025年的5万宗。检察官提醒家长和祖辈留意孩子突然要钱、情绪反常、对上网的事格外隐秘，发现了先安慰孩子「我们一起面对」。
Sextortion is when a scammer tricks a child online into sending intimate images, then threatens to publish them to extort money; on Sept. 15 the Mercer Island School District held a webinar on it with prosecutors from the U.S. Justice Department and the U.S. Attorney's Office for Western Washington. Figures cited there show reports of financially motivated sextortion rose from 10,731 in 2022 to 50,000 in 2025. Prosecutors urged parents and grandparents to watch for sudden requests for money, mood changes and secrecy about online activity, and to respond first with reassurance.

西雅图交通安全法案过委员会 唐人街等历史街区在内
Seattle traffic safety bills clear committee, covering Chinatown-ID and other historic districts
西雅图市议会交通委员会9月17日通过「更安全街道」三项法案，其中一项修正案以三比二表决，让市交通局在历史街区装交通标志、信号灯和画路面标线时，不必再先经历史街区委员会批准。涉及的街区包括先锋广场(Pioneer Square)、派克市场(Pike Place Market)、巴拉德大道(Ballard Avenue)和唐人街-国际区(Chinatown-International District)，常去唐人街的长者可留意后续。先锋广场商界联盟反对这项修正，有议员提议把唐人街排除在外，修正案在全体市议会10月中旬表决前可能还会改。
On Sept. 17 the Seattle City Council's transportation committee passed the three-bill SAFER Streets package, including an amendment, approved 3-2, that lets the transportation department install traffic signs, signals and pavement markings in historic districts without first getting approval from the district boards. The districts include Pioneer Square, Pike Place Market, Ballard Avenue and the Chinatown-International District, which seniors who shop in Chinatown may want to follow. The Alliance for Pioneer Square opposed the amendment, a councilmember suggested exempting the Chinatown-International District, and it may change before the full council votes in mid-October.

美国文化一则American Customs
在美国，公司坑了消费者，常常不是一个个人去告，而是联邦贸易委员会或州检察长替大家打官司；赢了或和解之后，罚来的钱按名单退给受害的人，这叫「退款计划」，每个案子怎么退、退多少，会另行公布。
In the U.S., when a company cheats consumers, it is often not individuals who sue one by one but the Federal Trade Commission or a state attorney general who takes the case for everyone. After a win or settlement, the money is paid back to the people harmed, through what is called a refund program; how each case pays out is announced separately.
背后的逻辑是：一个人被坑几百块，自己请律师不划算，于是由政府出面，把成千上万人的损失合在一起追。也正因为退款是真的，冒充联邦贸易委员会的骗子也跟着来了；该机构写明，它从不威胁人，也从不要求先转账才能领退款。
The logic is that one person cheated out of a few hundred dollars cannot afford a lawyer, so the government pools thousands of people's losses and pursues them together. Because the refunds are real, scammers impersonate the FTC too; the agency states plainly that it never threatens people and never asks anyone to transfer money to get a refund.
中国人讲「吃一堑，长一智」，吃了亏多半自认倒霉。在美国，吃了亏有地方讨说法，而且讨回来的钱不收手续费。长者记住一条就够：真退款只给钱，不要钱。
The Chinese saying is that every setback teaches a lesson, and people who get cheated often just swallow the loss. In the U.S. there is somewhere to seek redress, and money recovered this way comes with no fee. Seniors only need to remember one rule: a real refund gives you money and never asks for any.
