US-based Antiguan listed in top 100 for community work
With the Covid-19 pandemic continuing to impact the world, many countries have been finding creative ways to rebuild their economies, health sectors and everyday life.
The Rochester community in New York is just one of the many areas in the US that is focusing on picking up the pieces.
It is because of this resilience, that the RBJ Business Journal which is a part of BridgeTower Media, one of the USA’s leading business-to-business media companies, has identified 100 persons within that community who have already begun to play integral roles in that redevelopment.

Monica Chaperlinis the inaugural recipient of the Erminie Cohen Compassion Award.
The award created in memory of the late Senator and founder of the New Brunswick Adoption Foundation.
In nominating her, Cathy Wright said Chaperlin supported the YMCA in establishing the first early learning centre in Saint John and was a strong advocate in bringing the model of First Steps Housing offering at-risk parents an opportunity to safely learn to be parents and for many to receive their high school education within the facility.

I’ve got some sad and shocking news, everybody the RCSD is not doing a good job.
Rochester City School District (RCSD) students that have returned to in-person learning are being served cold, sad meals as a result of rehiring struggles and a never-ending budget crisis.
The public was outraged when a photo of a first-day-of-school lunch was posted on Twitter, showing a pathetic hodgepodge of Cheez-Its, string cheese, a dried turkey stick, a pear, a juicebox, and chocolate milk. Apparently, district lunch distribution centers have been providing similar meals for months. The photo got people riled up, and rightfully so.
University of Rochester pledges $15 minimum wage for all employees
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
The University of Rochester, the largest employer in the region, pledged Wednesday to raise its minimum wage to $15 by the end of 2022.
UR has about 27,000 full-time equivalent employees, making it the largest private employer in upstate New York. The majority of those employees are at the University of Rochester Medical Center, including not only well paid doctors and nurses but also the myriad low-wage workers who assist them.
The university has faced pressure from both students and union leaders to raise wages for its employees among other social justice measures. It cast the decision as a means of addressing both concentrated poverty and racial disparities in the wider community.
