4 THE SECRETARY: Legislative
5 Resolution Number 453, by Senator Carlucci,
6 memorializing Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to
7 proclaim March 2013 as Irish American Heritage
8 Month in the State of New York.
9 "WHEREAS, From America's earliest
10 days, Irish immigrants and their descendants
11 have contributed leadership, wisdom, and vitality
12 to America, through nine signers of the
13 Declaration of Independence and 22 Presidents
14 with Irish roots, as well as the indelible mark
15 Irish Americans have made in the shaping of the
16 great State and City of New York, through
17 numerous governors, legislators, mayors and
18 public officials; and
19 "WHEREAS, Throughout their long
20 history, the Irish have been ardent in their
21 passion for liberty, hatred of oppression and
22 renowned for their loyalty. And thus the Irish
23 have, from the beginning, been prominent in the
24 defense of this nation, with twenty of George
25 Washington's generals and an estimated quarter of
647
1 his army being composed of Irish Americans, among
2 them Timothy Murphy, a hero of the pivotal battle
3 of Saratoga, New York; and
4 "WHEREAS, Irish Americans have
5 distinguished themselves ever since whenever
6 their country has called on them, as typified in
7 the storied 'Fighting 69th' of New York who
8 fought with courage and sacrifice on the
9 battlefields of the American Civil War and
10 World War I and whose Gaelic battle cry of 'Faugh
11 an Beallach' is still heard this day in Iraq and
12 Afghanistan in defense of our country; and
13 "WHEREAS, The first Congressional
14 Medal of Honor for the current conflict in
15 Afghanistan was awarded to Navy Seal Lieutenant
16 Michael P. Murphy of Smithtown, New York, who
17 made the supreme sacrifice for his country; and
18 "WHEREAS, Millions of Irish arrived
19 in New York City in the mid-19th century,
20 escaping hunger and injustice in their homeland.
21 New York has long been a haven for immigrants,
22 being the home of the 'golden door' of Ellis
23 Island, where the first immigrant to enter
24 through its passages to a new life in America was
25 15 year-old Annie Moore of Cork, Ireland; and
648
1 "WHEREAS, Irish immigrants and their
2 descendants have contributed to the building of
3 this great society not only by the laying of
4 railroads and the building of physical bridges,
5 but also by building bridges of the mind amongst
6 all people through the founding of numerous
7 schools, colleges and universities, enhancing the
8 quality of every phase of life for all
9 New Yorkers; and
10 "WHEREAS, Irish American women have
11 a long and proud tradition of being visionaries
12 and trailblazers, whether it be Annie Sullivan,
13 the teacher of Helen Keller, crusading journalist
14 Nelly Bly, or New York's own Colonel Eileen
15 Collins, the first woman to command a space
16 shuttle; and
17 "WHEREAS, Since 1762, Irish
18 New Yorkers have been faithfully celebrating the
19 feast of St. Patrick every March 17th, wherein
20 they renew their connections to the land of their
21 ancestry, pass on their traditions to the next
22 generation, and share their pride through joyous
23 festivities enjoyed by all New Yorkers
24 irrespective of ethnicity; and
25 "WHEREAS, Irish Americans have made
649
1 an indelible impression upon every human endeavor
2 in art, music, literature, science, film, dance,
3 theatre, sports, education, law, finance, and
4 politics and shall continue to embellish
5 New York's shining future, reflecting the noble
6 past of this mighty race, with all the strength,
7 resilience, humor and hospitality of the Irish
8 character. Thus it is most fitting to set aside
9 this month to highlight and honor the history and
10 heritage of the Irish Americans and to remember
11 and pay tribute to the contributions they have
12 made to our state and our nation; now, therefore,
13 be it
14 "RESOLVED, That this Legislative
15 Body pause in its deliberations to memorialize
16 Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim March 2013
17 as Irish American Heritage Month in the State of
18 New York; and be it further
19 "RESOLVED, That a copy of this
20 resolution, suitably engrossed, be transmitted to
21 The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor of the
22 State of New York."
23 ACTING PRESIDENT SAVINO: Senator
24 O'Carlucci on the resolution.
25 SENATOR CARLUCCI: Thank you,
650
1 Madam President.
2 I rise today to ask Governor Cuomo
3 to proclaim March as Irish American Heritage
4 Month. And I'm so honored that today in the
5 gallery we have joining with us some proud
6 members of the Irish American community right
7 here, joining us today, members of the AOH.
8 Actually, in Rockland County, in
9 Pearl River, the Ancient Order of Hibernians, we
10 have the largest Ancient Order of Hibernians in
11 the State of New York and also in the country
12 right in Pearl River.
13 And we have a proud tradition in
14 Pearl River where we have a St. Patrick's Day
15 parade, one of the largest in the nation. This
16 year it will be on St. Patrick's Day, the 17th,
17 in two Sundays.
18 But we have with us today Neil
19 Cosgrove, Katie Basler, Phil and Linda Sheridan,
20 Eileen Moore. And these are members of the
21 community that when they're needed, they help out
22 wherever they can.
23 And unfortunately, just last week we
24 had to gather and rally and talk about an
25 unfortunate issue that was going on in our
651
1 community where a store was selling offensive
2 material. And we rose to the occasion, stood up,
3 spoke out and talked about how this is so
4 offensive to people and it's degrading to our
5 community. So we rose up, we spoke out and asked
6 this store to stop doing what they were doing.
7 We're so honored to have this
8 proclaimed as Irish American Heritage Month.
9 Because believe it or not, 22 of our presidents
10 have been of Irish descent, including our current
11 president, Barack Obama. We've had many
12 governors. We've actually had nine signers of
13 the Declaration of Independence of Irish American
14 heritage. So it is so fitting that we proclaim
15 this month Irish American Heritage Month.
16 So I'll be voting in favor of the
17 resolution, and I encourage my colleagues to do
18 the same.
19 Thank you, Madam President.
20 ACTING PRESIDENT SAVINO: Thank
21 you.
22 Are there any other Senators wishing
23 to be heard on the resolution?
24 (No response.)
25 ACTING PRESIDENT SAVINO: This
652
1 resolution was previously adopted on
2 February 12th.
3 And I know that Senator O'Carlucci
4 would be happy to have any other member who would
5 like to be on the resolution; I'm sure you would
6 open it up to all others. And anyone who does
7 not want to be on the resolution, please notify
8 the desk.
9 Senator LaValle.
10 SENATOR LaVALLE: I believe that
11 there is a previously adopted resolution by
12 Senator Marchione, Resolution Number 626, at the
13 desk. I ask that it be read in its entirety.
14 ACTING PRESIDENT SAVINO: The
15 Secretary will read the resolution.
16 THE SECRETARY: Legislative
17 Resolution Number 626, by Senator Marchione,
18 honoring Courtney Luskin upon the occasion of her
19 designation as 2013-2014 New York State Dairy
20 Princess.
21 "WHEREAS, It is the sense of this
22 Legislative Body to acknowledge outstanding
23 individuals whose lives, personal endeavors and
24 community service are an example and inspiration
25 to their colleagues, friends, and family; and
653
1 "WHEREAS, Individuals who give of
2 their time and energies and serve the best
3 interests of their communities are an asset
4 beyond remuneration and cannot be sufficiently
5 extolled; and
6 "WHEREAS, It is also the intent of
7 this Legislative Body to recognize and pay
8 tribute to those individuals whose civic
9 endeavors have enhanced the quality of their
10 community in the great State of New York; and
11 "WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern,
12 and in full accord with its long-standing
13 traditions, it is the sense of this Legislative
14 Body to honor Courtney Luskin upon the occasion
15 of her designation as 2013-2014 New York State
16 Dairy Princess; and
17 "WHEREAS, On Tuesday, February 19,
18 2013, Courtney Luskin of Hoosic Valley High
19 School was crowned the 2013-2014 New York State
20 Dairy Princess at the Holiday Inn in Liverpool,
21 New York; and
22 "WHEREAS, Courtney Luskin, who has
23 been Rensselaer County Dairy Princess since the
24 spring of 2012, will devote another year to
25 promoting milk and dairy products with the
654
1 American Dairy Association and Dairy Council; and
2 "WHEREAS, As state princess,
3 Courtney Luskin will receive a scholarship and
4 represent the organization at county dairy
5 princess pageants, farm meetings, and special
6 events. She will help train new county promoters
7 at seminars and workshops; and
8 "WHEREAS, Nineteen county dairy
9 princesses competed in the state pageant, which
10 included a personal interview, an impromptu and
11 prepared speech, a product knowledge test, a

13 others; and
14 "WHEREAS, Rare indeed is the
15 impressive dedication which Courtney Luskin has
16 demonstrated in achieving the title of 2013-2014
17 New York State Dairy Princess. She has stood
18 constant in dignity, good grace and humor; and
19 "WHEREAS, It is the sense of this
20 Legislative Body that when an individual of such
21 noble aims and accomplishments is brought to our
22 attention, she should be recognized by all the
23 citizens of this great Empire State; now,
24 therefore, be it
25 "RESOLVED, That this Legislative
655
1 Body pause in its deliberations to honor
2 Courtney Luskin upon the occasion of her
3 designation as 2013-2014 New York State Dairy
4 Princess; and be it further
5 "RESOLVED, That a copy of this
6 resolution, suitably engrossed, be transmitted to
7 Courtney Luskin."
8 ACTING PRESIDENT SAVINO: Senator
9 Marchione.
10 SENATOR MARCHIONE: Thank you,
11 Madam President, and to my colleagues.
12 I rise for the purpose of
13 recognizing and honoring Courtney Luskin, a
14 constituent of mine, who is the Rensselaer County
15 Dairy Princess and was recently crowned the
16 2013-2014 New York State Dairy Princess.
17 Ms. Luskin, who joins us today with
18 her mother, Jane, up in the Senate gallery, is
19 the 18-year-old daughter of Jane and John Luskin
20 of Rensselaer County. Ms. Luskin is a senior at
21 the Hoosic Valley High School and is also an
22 active member of 4-H and a member of the
23 National Honor Society.
24 On February 19th, Ms. Luskin was
25 crowned the 50th New York State Dairy Princess at
656
1 the annual coronation in Syracuse. Having served
2 as the Rensselaer County Dairy Princess since the
3 spring of 2012, Ms. Luskin will devote an
4 additional year to promoting New York's
5 award-winning milk and other dairy products with
6 the American Dairy Association and the Dairy
7 Council.
8 As state princess, Ms. Luskin will
9 receive a scholarship and represents the Dairy
10 Association and Dairy Council at county dairy
11 princess pageants, farm meetings, and a variety
12 of special events. Ms. Luskin also will help
13 train new county promoters at seminars and
14 workshops.
15 Nineteen county dairy princesses
16 competed in the prestigious state pageant, which
17 included a personal interview, impromptu and
18 prepared speeches, a product knowledge test, a
19 writing skills test, and informal interaction
20 with others. In being named the 2013-2014
21 New York State Dairy Princess, Ms. Luskin has
22 continually demonstrated intelligence, dignity,
23 good grace and humor.
24 Agriculture is New York's number-one
25 industry and the backbone of our state's economy,
657
1 and for good reason. The hard work, commitment,
2 and dedication of our family farmers and our
3 family dairy farmers will ensure that New York
4 continues to be number one in agriculture.
5 Madam President and my colleagues, I
6 respectfully request that this body pause in its
7 deliberations to honor Ms. Courtney Luskin, the
8 2013-2014 New York State Dairy Princess.
9 Thank you.
10 ACTING PRESIDENT SAVINO: Thank
11 you, Senator Marchione.
12 (Applause.)
13 ACTING PRESIDENT SAVINO: Senator
14 Gipson on the resolution.
15 SENATOR GIPSON: Thank you.
16 I just want to echo everything that
17 Senator Marchione just mentioned, because I too
18 come from a dairy district and I border the
19 Senator's district.
20 And I just want to congratulate
21 Ms. Luskin. And I hope that as you tour the
22 state that you will stop off at Dutchess County
23 and see all the many great dairy farms we have
24 there and help us advocate for a growing economy
25 with dairy farms.
658
1 And again, congratulations.
2 ACTING PRESIDENT SAVINO: Are there
3 any other Senators wishing to be heard on the
4 resolution?
5 Senator Montgomery.
6 SENATOR MONTGOMERY: Yes, Madam
7 President. I just would like to congratulate
8 Senator Marchione on this and on recognizing
9 someone, a young person who is symbolic of one of
10 the major industries in our state, dairy farming,
11 and the dairy queen there.
12 And I just want to say that I hope
13 we always remember that we should be very
14 conscious of the celebrations that we do on the
15 floor here and elsewhere and the statements that
16 we make about how much we respect young people.
17 Because one of the groups that I feel so strongly
18 about and so pleased about is the Future Farmers
19 of America. I always try to make sure I see them
20 and at least say hello to them, and I support
21 them.
22 They're not from my district, but
23 they certainly reflect a group of young people
24 who I believe will be the future people in our
25 state and in our nation who are going to be part
659
1 of all of our health in terms of their
2 participation and their knowledge in terms of
3 producing foods in our state and being farmers in
4 our state and preserving the environment in our
5 state.
6 So I commend you on recognizing
7 her. She is just symbolic, I believe, of the
8 wonderful young people in our state who are
9 carrying the torch for us and on into the
10 future.
11 So thank you, Madam President.
12 ACTING PRESIDENT SAVINO: Thank
13 you, Senator Montgomery.
14 This resolution had been previously
15 adopted on February 28, 2013. And I'm sure that
16 Senator Marchione would be willing to have the
17 resolution opened up to all those who wish to be
18 on it.
19 Senator LaValle.
20 SENATOR LaVALLE: Madam President,
21 I believe there is a previously adopted
22 resolution by Senator Kennedy, Resolution Number

660
1 Secretary will read the resolution.
2 THE SECRETARY: Legislative
3 Resolution Number 180, by Senator Kennedy,
4 honoring West Side Neighborhood Housing Services
5 for its outstanding service to the community.

8 and character of life in the communities across

13 "WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern,
14 and in full accord with its long-standing
15 traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud
16 to honor West Side Neighborhood Housing Services
17 for its outstanding service to the community; and
18 "WHEREAS, West Side Neighborhood
19 Housing Services was founded in 1980 to stop the

21 stock and promote reinvestment in the
22 neighborhood; and
23 "WHEREAS, West Side Neighborhood
24 Housing Services promotes homeownership by

1 needed for down payments and closing costs; and
2 "WHEREAS, Furthermore, loans are
3 offered for the rehabilitation of homes in the
4 service area and classes such as Foreclosure
5 Prevention, Landlord/Tenant Mediation, and
6 Post-Purchase classes are offered through
7 West Side Neighborhood Housing Services; and

19 further
20 "RESOLVED, That a copy of this

23 Neighborhood Housing Services."
24 ACTING PRESIDENT SAVINO: Senator
25 Kennedy.
663
1 SENATOR KENNEDY: Thank you very
2 much.
3 Concerned, dedicated, and devoted --
4 those are words that embody the West Side
5 Neighborhood Housing Services. This organization
6 was formed in 1980 with a specific focus on the
7 West Side of Buffalo, to rebuild the housing
8 stock in the community and provide reinvestment
9 in the neighborhood. In short, the organization
10 works every single day to make dreams of
11 homeownership, the American dream, come true.
12 And as the housing market slowly
13 recovers, the need for the critical services they
14 provide has never been greater. The programs
15 this important agency offers carry customers
16 through the entire process of buying and owning a
17 home and ensures they are fully prepared for the
18 many responsibilities that come with owning a
19 home. These programs are revitalizing Buffalo's
20 neighborhoods, providing safe, affordable and
21 sustainable housing opportunities for all.
22 I wish to offer my thanks to Linda
23 Chiarenza, who's here with us today -- Linda, if
24 you could stand up -- as well as Laura Sweat,
25 both with the West Side Neighborhood Housing
664
1 Services, and also to your dedicated staff and
2 incredible team of volunteers as well, who work
3 tirelessly every single day to keep the dream of
4 homeownership alive and well in Western
5 New York. One by one, you are building a better
6 community and improving countless lives in the
7 process.
8 Thank you very much.
