美国新闻一则NATIONAL教宗确诊肺癌 医生提醒不吸烟者也有风险
Pope's lung cancer prompts warning that never-smokers are at risk too
天主教教宗良14世确诊肺癌的消息10月13号传出,他已手术切除肺部结节,据报道他不吸烟。迈阿密大学胸部肿瘤科医生罗德里格斯(Estelamari Rodriguez)在The Conversation网站撰文指出,过去15年,女性、从不吸烟者和年轻人确诊肺癌的越来越多,约20%女性肺癌患者从未吸烟;而现行筛查指南只覆盖50到80岁、有较重吸烟史的人。
News of Pope Leo XIV's lung cancer diagnosis broke on Oct. 13; he has had a lung nodule surgically removed; he reportedly does not smoke. Writing in The Conversation, University of Miami thoracic oncologist Estelamari Rodriguez says that over the past 15 years more women, never-smokers and younger people have been diagnosed, that about 20% of women with lung cancer never smoked, and that current screening guidelines cover only people aged 50 to 80 with a heavy smoking history.
社区影响早期肺癌可以靠手术治好,难处在于发现得晚:从不吸烟的人不在常规筛查之列,肿瘤常是偶然查出。有家族史、长期接触二手烟、氡气或空气污染的长者,可主动问家庭医生是否适合做低剂量CT;久咳、气短、胸背疼痛,别只当小毛病。
COMMUNITY IMPACTEarly lung cancer can be cured with surgery; the trouble is late detection, because never-smokers are outside routine screening and tumours are often found by chance. Seniors with a family history or long exposure to secondhand smoke, radon or air pollution can ask their doctor whether a low-dose CT scan suits them, and should not dismiss a lingering cough, breathlessness or chest and back pain.
名词解释Glossary lung adenocarcinoma:肺腺癌;never smoker:从不吸烟者;low-dose CT scan:低剂量CT;screening guidelines:筛查指南

本地新闻LOCAL NEWS柯克兰(Kirkland)牧师被控骗教友投资1300万美元
Kirkland pastor accused of defrauding congregants of $13 million
据《柯克兰记者报》报道,柯克兰(Kirkland)一间基督教会的牧师、住在博塞尔(Bothell)的罗马尼亚公民波佩斯库(Cristian Popescu)被联邦检方指控,以一家贝尔维尤(Bellevue)公司Followone为幌子,骗取30多名投资人共约1300万美元。检方称,他告诉信众是上帝选中他们来投资,还谎称公司即将在纳斯达克上市。他10月13号出庭,对10项电信诈骗和五项洗钱罪名不认罪,12月21号开审。
The Kirkland Reporter says federal prosecutors have charged Cristian Popescu, a Romanian citizen living in Bothell and pastor of a Kirkland church, with using a Bellevue company called Followone to take about $13 million from more than 30 investors. Prosecutors say he told congregants God had chosen them to invest and falsely claimed the company was close to a Nasdaq listing. At his Oct. 13 arraignment he pleaded not guilty to 10 counts of wire fraud and five of money laundering; trial is set for Dec. 21.
社区影响这类骗局靠的不是复杂技术,而是信众之间的信任:牧师开口,教友不好意思追问。本地华人教会、同乡会和微信群同样建立在熟人信任之上。长者遇到熟人推荐「随时能取」「快要上市」的投资,应先查证公司底细、看到真实账目,并与子女商量后再决定。
COMMUNITY IMPACTSchemes like this run on trust between members of a congregation rather than on clever technology: when the pastor asks, members hesitate to question him. Chinese churches, hometown associations and WeChat groups here rest on the same kind of trust. Seniors offered an investment by someone they know, with promises of withdrawals any time or an imminent listing, should check the company, see real accounts and talk it over with their children first.
名词解释Glossary wire fraud:电信诈骗;money laundering:洗钱;indictment:起诉书;arraignment:提审出庭

本地新闻LOCAL NEWS华州与三家仿制药厂和解 买过仿制药可申请补偿
Washington settles with three generic drugmakers; past buyers can claim compensation
仿制药,是原厂药专利到期后由其他药厂生产的同成分药。据KIRO新闻电台报道,华州作为45个州和属地组成的两党联盟一员,指控Ascend、Citron和Mayne三家仿制药厂串通抬价、压制竞争,10月14号宣布与三家和解:Ascend付40万美元,Mayne付65万美元,已停业的Citron只承诺整改。2009年5月到2019年12月间买过仿制药的人,可能有资格申请补偿。
Generic drugs are same-ingredient versions made by other companies after a brand-name patent expires. KIRO Newsradio reports that Washington, part of a bipartisan coalition of 45 states and territories, accused Ascend, Citron and Mayne of conspiring to inflate prices and limit competition, and on Oct. 14 announced settlements: Ascend pays $400,000, Mayne $650,000, and Citron, which has closed, agreed only to non-monetary terms. People who bought a generic prescription drug between May 2009 and December 2019 may be eligible for compensation.
社区影响和解金是付给各州的,消费者另有官方理赔渠道,补偿只限名单上的药,每人能拿多少尚未公布。常年服用降压、降糖等仿制药的长者,可拨打免费电话1-866-290-0182或登录AGGenericDrugs.com查询。只走官方渠道,凡是索要手续费或银行密码的「理赔」来电一律不理。
COMMUNITY IMPACTThe settlement money goes to the states; consumers claim through a separate official channel, compensation covers only listed drugs, and how much each person gets has not been announced. Seniors who have long taken generic blood-pressure or diabetes drugs can call the toll-free line 1-866-290-0182 or visit AGGenericDrugs.com.

福尔城(Fall City)灭门案少年将按成人受审
Fall City teen in family killings will be tried as an adult
2024年10月,福尔城(Fall City)湖边一户人家五口遇害,当时15岁的儿子被指控一级加重谋杀等罪。10月14号,金县高等法院法官裁定,现年17岁的他将按成人受审,若定罪可能面临25年到终身监禁,而留在少年法庭最晚23岁就会获释。这说明华州对十几岁孩子犯下的重罪并非一概从轻,辩方仍可就此上诉。
In October 2024 five members of a family were killed at their lakeside home near Fall City, and their then-15-year-old son was charged with aggravated first-degree murder and other counts. On Oct. 14 a King County Superior Court judge ruled that he, now 17, will be tried as an adult and could face 25 years to life if convicted, whereas juvenile court would have released him by 23. It shows Washington does not automatically treat serious crimes by teenagers leniently; the defense may still appeal.

西雅图拟把商业停车税提到17%
Seattle proposes raising commercial parking tax to 17%
西雅图对私营停车场和停车楼征收商业停车税,市长威尔逊(Katie Wilson)的预算方案提议从2027年起把税率从14.5%提到17%,每年多收930万美元。加上州和地方销售税,付费车位的总税率将达27.55%,一笔20美元的停车费里光税就约五块五。开车进城看病、办事的长者会直接感到;方案还要市议会在未来几周审批。
Seattle taxes private parking lots and garages, and Mayor Katie Wilson's budget proposes raising that commercial parking tax from 14.5% to 17% in 2027, bringing in an extra $9.3 million a year. With state and local sales taxes, the total tax on a paid stall would reach 27.55%, about $5.50 in taxes on a $20 charge. Seniors who drive into the city for appointments will feel it; the City Council still has to approve the budget in the coming weeks.

华州温哥华(Vancouver)自闭症少年饿死案 州和学区赔4930万
State and school district to pay $49.3M over starvation death of Vancouver, Wash., autistic teen
2020年,华州温哥华(Vancouver)一名15岁、不会说话的自闭症少年遭养父母虐待饿死,他的两个弟弟起诉州政府和常青学区(Evergreen Public Schools),指控社工和学校早获知虐待却没去查。双方日前达成和解,州政府付2500万美元、学区付2430万美元,州政府不承认有过错。孩子在学校喊饿、偷拿别人食物,是该上报的信号,祖辈看到别家孩子有异样也别只当没看见。
In 2020 a nonverbal 15-year-old autistic boy in Vancouver, Wash., starved to death after abuse by his adoptive parents; his two younger brothers sued the state and Evergreen Public Schools, alleging social workers and school staff were told of the abuse but did not investigate. The sides have now settled, with the state paying $25 million and the district $24.3 million; the state admits no fault. A child who begs for food at school or takes others' food is a sign that should be reported, and grandparents who notice something wrong with a neighbor's child should not look away.

默瑟岛(Mercer Island)高三学生出绘本 教孩子认识情绪
Mercer Island senior publishes picture book teaching children about emotions
默瑟岛(Mercer Island)高中17岁的高三学生Dora Cheng自费出版了绘本《The World Inside You》,用树、火、雾、大海和太阳分别代表爱、愤怒、恐惧、悲伤和快乐,写给五到10岁的孩子。她说自己以前不知道可以把情绪表达出来,总是憋着,所以想让孩子明白,情绪是在提醒你什么,不必躲开。11月4号她会到湖岭小学(Lakeridge Elementary)给学生朗读,家里有小孙辈的,也可以借这个话题陪孩子聊聊心情。
Dora Cheng, a 17-year-old senior at Mercer Island High School, has self-published a picture book, The World Inside You, which uses trees, fire, fog, the ocean and the sun to stand for love, anger, fear, sadness and happiness, for children aged 5 to 10. She says she used to bottle up her feelings without knowing it was OK to let them out, and wants children to see what their emotions are telling them rather than run from them. She will read it at Lakeridge Elementary on Nov. 4; grandparents of young children can use the idea to talk with them about feelings.

西雅图市府拟出钱请员工提前退休
Seattle weighs paying city workers to retire early
西雅图市长威尔逊(Katie Wilson)91亿美元的预算方案里,提出出钱鼓励市府员工提前退休,这是2002年以来头一回。市议会分析人员估计约110人会接受,前期约花880万美元,2028年起每年可省约800万。市府开支怎么省,关系到街道维护、治安这些服务,市里最终的收入预测10月16号(周五)出炉,预算还会再变。
Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson's $9.1 billion budget proposes paying city employees to retire early, the first such buyout since 2002. Council analysts estimate about 110 people could take it, costing about $8.8 million up front and saving about $8 million a year from 2028. How the city saves money affects services like street maintenance and public safety; the final revenue forecast is due Friday, Oct. 16, and the budget may still change.

南部定居虎鲸连续第二年增加 现有76头
Southern resident orcas grow for a second year, now 76
常在普吉湾(Puget Sound)和萨利希海出没的南部定居虎鲸是濒危种群,鲸鱼研究中心(Center for Whale Research)10月12号公布年度普查,共76头,比去年多两头,连续第二年增加。普查期间出生了四头小鲸,只有两头活到7月1号的普查日。这是本地少有的好消息,带孙辈去海边走走时,也可以讲讲这群老邻居。
The endangered southern resident orcas that frequent Puget Sound and the Salish Sea number 76 in the Center for Whale Research's annual census, released Oct. 12, up two from last year and the second straight year of growth. Four calves were born during the census period, but only two survived to the July 1 census date. It is rare good news locally, and a story to share with grandchildren on a walk by the water.

美国文化一则American Customs
在美国,大公司被指控多收了消费者的钱,州检察长可以代表全州消费者去告。官司和解后,赔偿往往要消费者自己去「申领」:在规定的网站或电话登记,证明自己当年买过,才分得到钱。这次华州和仿制药厂的和解就是这样。
In the US, when big companies are accused of overcharging consumers, a state attorney general can sue on behalf of the whole state's consumers. After a settlement, the money often has to be claimed by consumers themselves: register on the designated website or phone line and show you bought the product to receive a share. Washington's generic-drug settlement works this way.
美国的思路是「谁受损谁出面」:政府替大家把官司打下来,但钱不会自动寄到家里,要本人举手。这也是为什么美国人信箱里常有各种理赔通知,真假混杂,要学会分辨。
The American logic is that the injured party steps forward: the government wins the case for everyone, but the money will not arrive by itself; you have to raise your hand. That is also why American mailboxes fill with claim notices, real and fake alike, and people learn to tell them apart.
中国人讲「该是你的跑不了」,在这件事上得反过来想:该是你的,也得自己去领。分辨真假的办法很简单:只认州检察长官网公布的网站和电话,凡是先要你交钱的,都不是真的理赔。
Chinese folk wisdom says what is yours will come to you; here you have to flip it, because what is yours still has to be claimed. Telling real from fake is simple: trust only the website and phone number the attorney general publishes, and anything that asks you to pay first is not a real claim.
