17 ACTING PRESIDENT BRESLIN:
18 Senator Nozzolio.
19 SENATOR NOZZOLIO: Thank you,
20 Mr. President. On the resolution.
21 Mr. President, many issues will be
22 discussed in this chamber and in the State
23 Capitol today, but this particular resolution
24 celebrates the excellence of all that is great
Candyco Transcription Service, Inc.
(518) 371-8910
4346
1 in this state.
2 Congratulations to a group of fine
3 young women who together fought tremendous
4 odds to become state champions -- the Newark
5 Reds Women's Basketball Team, state champions
6 for the first time in their history, led by a
7 great group of players, a tremendous coach,
8 and an outstanding community supporting their
9 school.
10 That I appreciate the resolution
11 and the reading of the individual players who
12 make up this championship team. I'm also very
13 pleased that this team, to win the Section V
14 title, beat Pittsford Mendon, which is
15 represented by Senator Alesi. And it was very
16 good that we could see Newark overcome that
17 team from Section V.
18 And better yet, by beating Albertus
19 Magnus as a team in Senator Morahan's
20 district. And we couldn't certainly beat a
21 better squad, and one that I'm very pleased
22 that Senator Morahan, who is a good sport
23 generally, took the defeat with the grace and
24 good spirit.
Candyco Transcription Service, Inc.
(518) 371-8910
4347
1 Alyssa Fenyn was by far the most
2 valuable player I believe in the history of
3 Section V basketball. She finished her career
4 scoring well over 2000 points, almost 2500
5 points, placing her in one of the numerous
6 All-Star teams at the local, regional and
7 state level.
8 She's going on to Virginia Tech
9 next year, and we wish her well. We only hope
10 that she comes back to New York State after
11 being educated away from us in college.
12 Kira Lauer also receiving the
13 Sportsmanship Award.
14 But the entire team, as you heard
15 their names mentioned, worked very hard
16 together. They pursued their goals, goals
17 that were many years in the making.
18 That a few years ago I saw this
19 team lose at the buzzer of the state semifinal
20 championships. That, I believe, only made
21 this state championship sweeter than ever in
22 terms of being able to come from defeat and a
23 few years later ensure, by many players who
24 were on that team, ensure victory.
Candyco Transcription Service, Inc.
(518) 371-8910
4348
1 I cannot say enough about Head
2 Coach Diane Kirnie. Her record of
3 accomplishment as a leader of young people is
4 outstanding. A tremendous community asset.
5 We are so pleased that she continues to labor
6 and work and mentor the young people of
7 Newark.
8 Last year, this house recognized
9 her for capturing her 300th career victory.
10 She's well on the road to 400 now, and we hope
11 we'll be celebrating that milestone in the
12 very near future.
13 Also with us today is Coach Justin
14 Fladd and the administration of Newark High
15 School -- Kevin Whitaker, the high school
16 principal, and Greg Herbst, assistant
17 principal and director of athletics.
18 We thank these leaders from Newark
19 and the Newark school system for bringing up
20 such a fine group of young people.
21 State champions certainly. Those
22 who understand excellence know what it's like
23 to win a state championship. Only a handful
24 of teams each year win such an accolade.
Candyco Transcription Service, Inc.
(518) 371-8910
4349
1 Newark, by far, shone the brightest of all the
2 teams in that excellence category this year.
3 And with that, I'd like to ask this
4 body to pause and to congratulate the
5 administration, the coaches, the faculty, and
6 especially the players who brought the state
7 championship of girls' basketball to Newark, a
8 great community in the center of Wayne County.
9 Congratulations, members of the
10 Newark Basketball Squad, and thank you,
11 Mr. President, for the opportunity to
12 introduce them here and to recognize them as
13 true state champions.
14 ACTING PRESIDENT BRESLIN: Thank
15 you, Senator Nozzolio.
16 Are there any other Senators
17 wishing to be heard on this resolution?
18 The question is on the resolution.
19 All those in favor say aye.
20 (Response of "Aye.")
21 ACTING PRESIDENT BRESLIN:
22 Opposed, nay.
23 (No response.)
24 ACTING PRESIDENT BRESLIN: The

1 resolution is adopted.
2 Congratulations to the Newark
3 Basketball Team for their Class A State
4 Championship.

6 ACTING PRESIDENT BRESLIN: The
7 Secretary will continue to read.
8 THE SECRETARY: By Senator
9 Ranzenhofer, Legislative Resolution Number
10 1885, paying tribute to the life and
11 accomplishments of former New York State
12 Congressman and Buffalo Bills quarterback Jack
13 Kemp.
14 ACTING PRESIDENT BRESLIN:
15 Senator Ranzenhofer.
16 SENATOR RANZENHOFER: Thank you,
17 Mr. President.
18 It's with a great deal of sadness,
19 especially after talking about the great
20 accomplishment of the Newark Basketball Team,
21 that I rise to talk about the passing of Jack
22 Kemp.
23 As many of you know, Congressman
24 Kemp served the Western New York area for
Candyco Transcription Service, Inc.
(518) 371-8910
4351
1 18 years, was a great representative for our
2 area, very eloquent, a great communicator.
3 He's also known to Western New Yorkers not so
4 much for his Congressional accomplishments but
5 for his accomplishments as the quarterback of
6 the Buffalo Bills and the only quarterback
7 that led our city to a championship many, many
8 years ago.
9 Congressman Kemp served our area,
10 as I said, for many years. He served as
11 Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
12 under President George Bush, was also the
13 Republican nominee for vice president in 1996.
14 In addition to his accomplishments
15 as a Congressman, as a quarterback, I think
16 most people know him for his later
17 accomplishments, later in life, as I said, for
18 just being very approachable, very open, a
19 very, very warm individual.
20 And not only will Western New York
21 and all of New York but our country will miss
22 his presence, his quick wit, and his good
23 charm.
24 Thank you, Mr. President.
Candyco Transcription Service, Inc.
(518) 371-8910
4352
1 ACTING PRESIDENT BRESLIN: Thank
2 you, Senator Ranzenhofer.
3 Senator Volker.
4 SENATOR VOLKER: Mr. President,
5 Jack Kemp was a close and personal friend of
6 mine who I have known for some forty years.
7 In fact, the second person he hired
8 in his office after Ed Rutkowski, a close
9 personal friend, was my wife. And she
10 remained his office secretary until she became
11 quite pregnant with my first son, Marty.
12 He was a gentleman, he was a great
13 orator. He was a man who loved this country.
14 He loved football and loved sports. And he
15 loved Western New York, even though he was
16 initially a Californian, he graduated from
17 Occidental College. He spent a lot of time in
18 Western New York.
19 I had asked him to come in on a
20 number of occasions to do fundraisers, as did
21 many people. And he always agreed when
22 whenever he could.
23 At one point I suggested that it
24 would be good if he would put his name in for
Candyco Transcription Service, Inc.
(518) 371-8910
4353
1 Governor of New York. His response was: "I'm
2 not a state guy. You're a state guy. I'm a
3 national guy. I'm not into that state stuff.
4 I want to make policy on a national level. I
5 want to help change this country."
6 He was a great man. His wife, by
7 the way, Joanne, was just a peach, a great
8 person. Carol and I spent a lot of time with
9 the both of them. And we will miss him
10 deeply, although I haven't seen him as much in
11 the last few years.
12 I ran his campaign at the
13 convention in New Orleans for vice president.
14 And there are some people like myself and some
15 others who believe that had George Bush, Sr.,
16 picked Jack Kemp instead of Dan Quayle, he
17 might have been a lot more successful in the
18 years to come.
19 But -- I could give you some idea
20 of why that happened, but it would be better
21 not to get into it.
22 But Jack Kemp was a true American,
23 a true American athlete, a true American
24 statesman, a true New Yorker, a true Western
Candyco Transcription Service, Inc.
(518) 371-8910
4354
1 New Yorker, and a man who will be greatly
2 missed in this land and will not be forgotten.
3 ACTING PRESIDENT BRESLIN: Thank
4 you, Senator Volker.
5 Senator Nozzolio.
6 SENATOR NOZZOLIO: Mr. President,
7 I rise to share my condolences to the Kemp
8 family, to support this resolution, and to
9 mention that Jack Kemp's picture has been in
10 my office for the 26 years that I've been a
11 state legislator.
12 Jack Kemp was a mentor of mine. I
13 met him while I was still in college, when he
14 was a newly elected Congressman and I was
15 working in my very first position in
16 government and politics as an intern in
17 Washington, D.C.
18 And I met him because of the fact
19 that he was the quarterback of my favorite
20 football team, the Buffalo Bills. But in so
21 doing, I got to know the fact that he -- more
22 than anyone else, I believe, in the last
23 generation -- had conveyed the spirit of what
24 it was like to be a Republican in the true
Candyco Transcription Service, Inc.
(518) 371-8910
4355
1 spirit of what the Republican Party should be
2 doing.
3 And that's a spirit of keeping the
4 principles of opportunity that America so
5 greatly has cherished throughout its history
6 but maybe had lost its way. And that through
7 less taxes, through better support of
8 enterprise and letting enterprise be free in
9 this state and in this nation, Jack Kemp
10 preached a political philosophy that guided
11 many.
12 And I agree with Senator Volker
13 that -- I was with Senator Volker in
14 New Orleans in 1988, had run in New York as a
15 Kemp delegate, had worked with other state
16 legislators who also supported Jack Kemp to
17 put Jack Kemp as our vice presidential nominee
18 in 1988.
19 Jack Kemp cared about Western
20 New York. His district went well into the
21 district that I now serve, in Ontario County.
22 And that he is, though, an icon for not just
23 the past, but for the principles that he
24 espoused of growth, opportunity, progress,
Candyco Transcription Service, Inc.
(518) 371-8910
4356
1 individual initiative. Those are the
2 hallmarks of the American way, and they're the
3 guiding lights of a great leader like former
4 Congressman, former HUD Secretary Jack Kemp.
5 We mourn his passing, and we extend
6 our sympathies, our deep sympathies to his
7 family.
8 Thank you, Mr. President.
9 ACTING PRESIDENT BRESLIN: Thank
10 you, Senator Nozzolio.
11 Senator Stachowski.
12 SENATOR STACHOWSKI: Thank you,
13 Mr. President. I too would like to rise to
14 share condolences on Jack Kemp's passing.
15 I met Jack Kemp when I was a senior
16 in high school. He was a quarterback at the
17 Buffalo Bills, and I was a high school
18 quarterback, and we took a picture in the
19 paper and that laid.
20 And then I ended up representing --
21 when I got elected to the Senate, Jack and I,
22 our districts overlapped. And we would sit
23 together a lot at different functions. In
24 particular, usually a League of Women Voters
Candyco Transcription Service, Inc.
(518) 371-8910
4357
1 dinner they had in Hamburg, we would always
2 sit at the same table and chitchat.
3 So when he retired from Congress, I
4 had an extra copy of that picture that he had
5 autographed for me when I was a senior in high
6 school. So I signed it to him: "Long way
7 from the rock pile -- State Senator Bill
8 Stachowski."
9 And years later, when they
10 celebrated some anniversary team for the
11 Bills, Jack came up to me and said, "You know,
12 in my office I have two Democrats. I have
13 Thomas Jefferson and you." And so it was kind
14 of a funny story that he kept.
15 But I think the most striking thing
16 about Jack Kemp -- and obviously everybody
17 spoke about all the things he accomplished and
18 the incredible person he was. But his human
19 rights beliefs were as strong as anybody's
20 from any party. And he showed that when he
21 was an AFL All-Star and they went down to
22 New Orleans again.
23 And that was the year that they
24 went to New Orleans to do an All-Star game,
Candyco Transcription Service, Inc.
(518) 371-8910
4358
1 and when they got there all the
2 African-American players were told they
3 couldn't stay in the same hotel with the other
4 guys.
5 So Jack and a bunch of people
6 approached the people running the game and
7 said, "Well, we just want you to know that
8 we're not going to play if they can't stay in
9 the same hotel."
10 And they ended up moving that game
11 to Miami, and the rest is history. And then
12 things started changing.
13 But that's the kind of person Jack
14 Kemp was, a stand-up guy. Very interesting
15 man. If he was your friend, he was always
16 your friend and it didn't matter which party
17 you were from.
18 So it's a great loss for everybody.
19 Jack was an interesting individual. He left a
20 legacy of all kinds of friends and teammates,
21 et cetera, all over Western New York and
22 obviously everywhere else that he traveled.
23 So we'll miss Jack Kemp. Our
24 condolences to his family.
Candyco Transcription Service, Inc.
(518) 371-8910
4359
1 And the interesting thing is when
2 you read all the obituaries, although politics
3 is everything most people remember about him,
4 football was his real vocation. And his sons
5 were the ones that pointed that out. That was
6 one of the central things to the whole family,
7 was football and that participation.
8 So it's a good day to celebrate the
9 life of Jack Kemp, but it will always be a
10 great loss for everybody that knew him.
11 Thank you, Mr. President.
12 ACTING PRESIDENT BRESLIN: Thank
13 you, Senator Stachowski.
14 Are there any other Senators
15 wishing to be heard on the resolution?

6 SENATOR DeFRANCISCO: Yes. I
7 would just request the privilege of the floor
8 to welcome a very important constituent of
9 mine who was just honored in the Assembly on
10 this Disability Awareness Day that they have
11 every year.
12 His name is Andrew Bowman, and he
13 received the State Assembly's Excelsior Award
14 for Excellence. He is a swimmer. He won the
15 Special Olympics gold medal last year. I've
16 got a picture of him with other gold medals
17 that he's holding and other medals that he's
18 holding. He's just a special young man who
19 has done special things.
20 He's an 8th-grader. And he's here
21 with his father, Chris Bowman, his mother,
22 Susan Bowman, and his brother Peter.
23 And they're here, if they'd just
24 stand up. Andrew, give a wave to everybody.
