16 Madam President, we have a special
17 guest with us in the chamber. My colleagues,
18 today we have Shanika Bridges. And Shanika,
19 please stand.
20 Shanika is here today as one of my
21 constituents. And she is from Newark Valley.
22 And Shanika is also the Miss Teenager of
23 New York.
24 And she has a pretty remarkable
25 background, Madam President. And we can
2241
1 understand why she took on 21 other teenagers
2 from across the state and came out number one.
3 She is a student of Ithaca College
4 and is studying premed. She's a devoted
5 community member. She volunteers by singing at
6 the church and is a group leader at vacation
7 bible school. She serves as an interpreter, was
8 an assistant coach for peewee cheerleading at
9 Newark Valley. She won the Miss Teen Tioga in
10 2011, and it inspired her to go on to the state
11 level and be successful to be the Miss Teenager
12 of New York.
13 She has tremendous talent. Not
14 only was her educational speech at the pageant
15 about Type I diabetes, but she has inspired many
16 through her talents.
17 She also sang a song, "You and I,"
18 by Lady Gaga. And those who know me, Shanika,
19 know that I had a Lady Gaga ring tone on my phone
20 for a number of years. So I certainly appreciate
21 that.
22 She is here today with her mother,
23 Judy, and her father, Jeff. Let's give her a big
24 round of applause.
25 (Applause.)
2242
1 ACTING PRESIDENT LITTLE: Thank
2 you for joining us today.
3 Senator Libous.
4 SENATOR LIBOUS: Madam President,
5 there's a resolution at the desk by Senator
6 Breslin, Number 3235. It was previously adopted
7 by the house on February 15th. May we have the
8 title read and call on Senator Breslin, who is
9 standing before us.
10 ACTING PRESIDENT LITTLE: Thank
11 you.
12 The Secretary will read the title
13 of the resolution.
14 THE SECRETARY: Legislative
15 Resolution Number 3235, by Senator Breslin,
16 congratulating the 2011 College of St. Rose
17 Women's Soccer Team upon the occasion of
18 capturing of the NCAA Division II National
19 Championship.
20 ACTING PRESIDENT LITTLE: Senator
21 Breslin.
22 SENATOR BRESLIN: Thank you,
23 Madam President.
24 The Capital District is well known
25 for athletic teams, but never before has the
2243
1 Capital District had a national champion. And
2 this past December, specifically on December 3rd,
3 the College of St. Rose won the Division II
4 Women's National Soccer Championship.
5 It's extra special because the last
6 three seasons they had lost in the semifinals.
7 So this is a long record of accomplishment. And
8 this year they won 24 games, after a standard
9 that had never been achieved before of 23 in both
10 2009 and 2010.
11 In the final game on December 3rd,
12 they were behind 1-0 through the first half. And
13 their goalie, who's here with us today, Jessica
14 Gerski, who will be back, held off the opposition
15 in the final, allowing St. Rose to become
16 national champions.
17 And in the galleries with us today
18 are Laurie Darling Gutheil, the coach; President
19 Mark Sullivan, the distinguished president of
20 St. Rose; Assistant Coaches Amanda Deck, Kalley
21 Egbert, Jason Gutheil, Jim Lennox, Renae
22 Ransdell, Lauren Steinberg and Mark Van Leuven;
23 Head Trainer Karen Cravens and Assistant Trainers
24 Jessup Pierce and Lisa Geiger. And the team
25 members here with us today are Lauren Minkoff,
2244
1 Melody Lawrence, Jessica, who I mentioned, the
2 goalkeeper, Marisah Case, Jourdan Thompson, Niki
3 Smith, La'Quilla Upton, and Lana Vecchiarelli.
4 They are just accomplished. And
5 for the 11th straight year, they were recognized
6 nationally as Academic All-Americans.
7 So let's give a round of applause
8 to the national champions in Women's Soccer
9 Division II.
10 (Applause.)
11 ACTING PRESIDENT LITTLE: Thank
12 you, Senator Breslin.
13 It's my personal honor to be
14 presiding today, since I'm a graduate of the
15 College of St. Rose, and to welcome President
16 Mark Sullivan, the coaches, and these wonderfully
17 talented women, academically and athletically, on
18 a really impressive and major achievement.
19 So congratulations, and we wish you
20 well. Thank you for joining us today.
21 ("Thank you" from the gallery.)
22 (Laughter.)
23 ACTING PRESIDENT LITTLE: Senator
24 Skelos.
25 SENATOR SKELOS: Madam President,
2245
1 there will be an immediate meeting of the Finance
2 Committee in Room 332, followed by a meeting of

4 ACTING PRESIDENT LITTLE: Thank
5 you. There's an immediate meeting of the Finance
6 Committee in Room 332, followed by a meeting of
7 the Rules Committee.
8 The Senate stands at ease.
9 (Whereupon, the Senate stood at ease
10 at 3:22 p.m.)
11 (Whereupon, the Senate reconvened at
12 4:29 p.m.)
13 ACTING PRESIDENT LITTLE: Senator
14 Libous.
15 SENATOR LIBOUS: Madam President,
16 I believe there's a report of the Rules Committee
17 at the desk. If we could have it read at this
18 time.
19 ACTING PRESIDENT LITTLE: There is
20 a report of the Rules Committee.
21 The Secretary will read.

19 Rules report is accepted.
20 Senator Libous.
21 SENATOR LIBOUS: Madam President,
22 before we go on to the noncontroversial reading
23 of the calendar, I believe that you could call,
24 please, at this time on Senator Adams for the
25 purposes of an announcement.
2247
1 ACTING PRESIDENT LITTLE: Thank
2 you. First the Secretary will read the title of
3 the resolution.
4 THE SECRETARY: Legislative
5 Resolution Number 3512, by Senator Parker,
6 honoring Ralph McDaniels upon the occasion of his
7 designation for special recognition by the Museum
8 of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts.
9 ACTING PRESIDENT LITTLE: Senator
10 Adams.
11 SENATOR ADAMS: Thank you. Thank
12 you, Madam President.
13 We often recognize pioneers on this
14 floor, and I am just really just honored today to
15 recognize Ralph McDaniels.
16 You know, many of you won't know
17 him -- but trust me, your children do. Ralph
18 McDaniels is a true visionary. You know,
19 everyone has eyes, but visionaries can see a
20 vision far before many of us. He was the creator
21 of "Video Music Box."
22 And when you look at what he did
23 over 30 years ago, and the creation of allowing
24 young people a venue where they can play music,
25 they can hear music, it was an urban tone -- and
2248
1 it really cascaded throughout the entire country.
2 He was an entrepreneur and
3 visionary who created the show, the first music
4 show focused exclusively to an urban market
5 broadcast on public television. He grew up in
6 Brooklyn and Queens. Ralph aspired to be a DJ.
7 He attended New York Institute of Technology,
8 where he studied communication, TV, film, and he
9 graduated in 1982.
10 It was at this time that he started
11 noticing an alarming array of talented hip-hop
12 artists continuously being rejected and
13 suppressed by mainstream media. And he wanted to
14 give those overlooked artists a platform where
15 they could be acknowledged by the consumers who
16 craved them.
17 It was not long before "Video Music
18 Box's" six-day, 60-minute public television
19 viewership began to grow far beyond what any of
20 the cable networks had expected. By 1995,
21 Billboard Magazine recognized the show and
22 awarded "Video Music Box" as the Best Local
23 R&B/Hip-hop Regional Show.
24 And he did so much more. And, you
25 know, we were actually high school colleagues, we
2249
1 went to high school together. And I just watched
2 throughout the years, I used to just watch him as
3 he hid, between the music, he put a message. He
4 talked about antiviolence, he talked about
5 domestic violence, he talked about the things
6 that children need to do. So between them
7 popping their fingers, he was planting something
8 in their minds.
9 And he was just a giant among the
10 urban communities. And now he's known far beyond
11 the urban communities. Many of the local areas
12 that you represent, if you were to go home and
13 ask your son, your daughter, about Ralph
14 McDaniels, they would tell you he's a person that
15 planted the seed of opportunities into so many
16 young people that wanted to participate in music
17 and what we can do with music.
18 And so we just really want to thank
19 him. And I'm pretty sure those who are back in
20 my district, Senator Parker's district, and those
21 of us who are from Brooklyn, he's one of
22 Brooklyn's own. We thank him for what he has
23 done throughout the years. And we believe that
24 he's going to continue to involve and do some
25 great things around music.
2250
1 We need men like Ralph McDaniels
2 more than ever now, because a countless number of
3 children who are latchkey kids are going home to
4 nothing of inspiration and they're receiving just
5 junk food for the mind.
6 Ralph McDaniels has learned how to
7 take that junk food that one would perceive it to
8 be and implant something nourishing by telling
9 young people that they could do some great things
10 with a level of academics, a level of commitment,
11 and a level of desire and compassion. And that's
12 what Ralph McDaniels is known for.
13 And so I want to thank him and,
14 with Senator Parker, who's not here, honor him
15 with this resolution. And I thank you,
16 Madam President, for allowing me the opportunity
17 to do so.
18 DJ Ralph McDaniels, thank you.
19 (Extended applause.)
20 ACTING PRESIDENT LITTLE: Thank
21 you.
22 Senator Serrano.
23 SENATOR SERRANO: I don't have
24 much to add to what Senator Adams said, but I
25 just wanted to mention that -- to thank
2251
1 Mr. McDaniels as growing up -- I was in high
2 school in the late 1980s, and the first thing I
3 would do when I got home was to turn on "Video
4 Music Box." And it was on a UHF channel, so we
5 had to fiddle with the antenna to get it to come
6 in just right.
7 But it was really a pioneering show
8 because it was the entire spectrum of music. It
9 was definitely urban music, but he mixed it up.
10 And he put dance music and he put things that we
11 had never heard of before. So those of us, a kid
12 like myself growing up in the Bronx, we were
13 exposed to music from everywhere, artists I had
14 never heard of before.
15 And it was really enlightening, and
16 it was a lot of fun, and it was good music. And
17 I think a lot of music shows today could learn a
18 lot from the format, the very simple format and
19 the interviews that he did with artists. It was
20 really amazing, and it was a wonderful show.
21 Congratulations.
22 ACTING PRESIDENT LITTLE: Thank
23 you, Senator Serrano.
24 Senator Smith on the resolution.
25 SENATOR SMITH: Yes, thank you
2252
1 very much, Madam President.
2 And let me thank Senator Parker and
3 also Senator Adams for bringing this resolution
4 forward.
5 As I was growing up, Brother
6 McDaniels, most people thought that I didn't know
7 how to dance. But it was your music that moved
8 me through some moments. As a matter of fact, my
9 wife of 26 years is as a result of your music one
10 day. But that's another subject.
11 But I will tell you that many of
12 us, as Senator Adams indicated, that would not
13 know of Ralph McDaniels, but many of us do. We
14 grew up to your music. We grew up to your
15 message. We grew up to all that you told so many
16 of us.
17 And not just in the music by virtue
18 of how great the rhythm was, but the message you
19 had about being successful and who we should be.
20 Which is why many of us on this side of the aisle
21 grew up to your music, and we probably can
22 attribute most of our success to you.
23 And so it's actually very much of
24 an honor to be able to stand on this floor. And
25 I'm so happy to see you personally. I've heard
2253
1 so much of you and so much about you and grew up
2 on your music. And as we called it, "the Box,"
3 it did so much for many of us.
4 So to my colleagues that are here,
5 you are in the presence of a giant. You are in
6 the presence of a treasure. So I would only ask
7 that, not to disturb the floor that much, but you
8 should run over and get your picture. It may
9 have value to you in this coming season that we
10 may be in.
11 (Laughter.)
12 SENATOR SMITH: So congratulations
13 to you.
14 And, Senator Adams, thanks so much
15 for bringing this forward.
16 Thank you, Madam President.
17 ACTING PRESIDENT LITTLE: Thank
18 you, Senator Smith.
19 This resolution was previously
20 adopted by the Senate on March 13th.
21 And I thank Mr. McDaniels for
22 joining us today and would like to really
23 congratulate him on this very special recognition
24 for his wonderful music. Thank you.
25 Senator Libous.
2254
