Phoenix Encourages Residents to Dump the Pump on June 19

Theo nguồn tin trên trang của phoenix.gov

June 18, 2014 The ninth annual Dump the Pump Day takes place on Thursday, June 19. This nationally recognized activity encourages residents to choose public transportation in lieu of driving their personal vehicles. This year’s slogan is “Dump the Pump. Save Money. Ride Transit.” As part of Dump the Pump elected officials Valley-wide are encouraging residents to choose transit. “Public transportation is part of what makes our city attractive for so many people. We’ve got multiple options available every day to help our residents get to work, school and shopping,” said Councilman Bill Gates, who will join transit users at the Dreamy Draw Park-and-Ride located on the southwest corner of Shea Boulevard near SR-51. Dump the Pump was created in 2006 in response to skyrocketing gas prices. According to AAA, average gas prices for Phoenix are currently $3.52 per gallon. Residents can determine how much they can save by choosing public transportation using a fuel calculator at publictransportation.org. A Valley Metro all-day transit pass is only $4 and can be used for both local bus and light rail. Those who want to experiment for an entire week can test the system for $20 with a 7-day transit pass. Participants can register online at valleymetro.org until 5 p.m. June 19, to submit a pledge form and be entered to win a local staycation package. More information is available about the Phoenix Public Transit Department at phoenix.gov/publictransit. Media Contacts: Matthew Heil 602-261-8254 Nickki Hicks 602-261-8392

Ambria Hammel Phỏng Vấn Cha Fr. Joseph Bui Trong Giáo Xứ Các Thánh Tử Đạo Việt Nam Phoenix

Priestly connections By Ambria Hammel

“Are you Vietnamese? Then you have something in common with three men being ordained a Jesuit priest this month and four percent of all new priests this year (the second highest of foreign born priests behind Mexico, which is at six percent). One of them, Jesuit Father Joseph Dao — a former journalist — is returning to Vietnam for pastoral work. His first year of priesthood will be memorable. The Jesuits in Vietnam are marking 400 years of ministry in the country. By the way, if you want to see what a Vietnamese church looks like, visit Vietnamese Martyrs Parish in Phoenix. It’s home to 618 families.”

Theo nguồn tin trên trang Facebook của Miss Vietnam Arizona

Thành thật chia buồn cùng gia đình Chị Phạm Tường Vy, cựu thành viên Hoa Hậu Áo Dài AZ 2010. Tường Vy đã chiến tranh giữa cái chết và sự sống với cơn đau của căn bệnh ung thư não hiểm nghèo. Vào thứ 3 ngày 10 tháng 6, 2014 Tường Vy đã ra đi khi chỉ mới 21 tuổi. Với tuổi đời còn quá trẻ và cả một tương lai trước mắt, đó là một sự mất mác của cộng đồng người Việt tại tiểu bang Arizona. Chị Phạm Tường Vy là một tấm gương sáng để giới trẻ chúng em noi theo và giúp đỡ cộng đồng những gì mình có thể. Yên nghĩ chị nhé! Quên hết những cơn đau đã dày vò thân xác chị và hãy yên vui bên vòng tay của chúa. Trang Dang (HHAOAZ 2014)
