8 THE SECRETARY: Legislative
9 resolution by Senator Phillips, commemorating the
10 9th Annual St. Baldrick's Shave Off and the
11 4th Annual Ladies Night, in honor of Aiden
12 Binkley.
13 "WHEREAS, The State of New York
14 takes great pride in helping to increase
15 awareness and understanding of childhood cancers
16 which affect citizens across our great state and
17 throughout the nation; and
18 "WHEREAS, It is the sense of this
19 Legislative Body to recognize that the quality
20 and character of life in the communities across
21 New York State are reflective of the concerned
22 and dedicated efforts of those organizations,
23 individuals, and events which devote themselves
24 to the welfare of the community and its
25 citizenry; and
3515
1 "WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern,
2 and in full accord with its long-standing
3 traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud
4 to commemorate the 9th Annual St. Baldrick's
5 Shave Off and the 4th Annual Ladies Night, in
6 honor of 11-year-old Aiden Binkley, a resident of
7 Floral Park, New York, who passed away on
8 December 30, 2010, after losing his battle with
9 Stage 4 rhabdomyosarcoma; Aiden is one of 1,600
10 St. Baldrick's honored kids; and
11 "WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is
12 further proud to recognize the outstanding
13 efforts of Aiden's Army to raise funds for
14 childhood cancer research in honor of Aiden
15 Binkley; and
16 "WHEREAS, The St. Baldrick's Shave
17 Off was held on Saturday, April 28, 2018, in the
18 parking lot of Trinity Restaurant in Floral
19 Park, New York; one of the largest St. Baldrick's
20 events on Long Island to date, 200 people got
21 their heads shaved and $400,000 was raised; and
22 "WHEREAS, The St. Baldrick's Ladies
23 Night was held on Thursday, April 26, 2018, at
24 The Inn at New Hyde Park, New Hyde Park,
25 New York, hosted by the Wednesday Mother's Club,
3516
1 a local club which has represented the
2 Floral Park community for 70 years; this
3 favorable event raised $146,000; and
4 "WHEREAS, More children are lost to
5 cancer in the United States than any other
6 disease, in fact, more than many other childhood
7 diseases combined; before they turn 20, about one
8 in 285 children in the United States will have
9 cancer, and worldwide, a child is diagnosed
10 every two minutes; and
11 "WHEREAS, Only 4 percent of
12 United States federal funds for cancer research
13 is solely dedicated to childhood cancer
14 research; the St. Baldrick's Foundation was
15 established to fill this gap by providing funding
16 to research programs worldwide through local
17 fundraising events; and
18 "WHEREAS, St. Baldrick's Foundation
19 is a well-respected national organization which
20 operates via the local level through neighborhood
21 head-shaving events and 'Do What You Want'
22 fundraising initiatives; nearly half a million
23 shaved heads later, they are still the most
24 popular fundraiser; and
25 "WHEREAS, Kids with cancer often
3517
1 lose their hair during treatment; as a 'shavee,'
2 an individual will shave their head to show their
3 support, and in the process, inspire friends and
4 family to donate to childhood cancer research;
5 and
6 "WHEREAS, The remarkable donors and
7 volunteers of St. Baldrick's Foundation have
8 enabled the organization to fund over
9 $230 million in childhood cancer research grants
10 which are given to more than 300 institutions
11 throughout the United States; and
12 "WHEREAS, In 2008, Father John
13 O'Farrell at Our Lady of Victory in Floral Park,
14 New York, asked Bob GaNun to shave his head for
15 kids with cancer; the next year, Bob and his
16 wife, Tricia, moved the head-shaving event to the
17 Trinity Restaurant, where it has become an annual
18 occasion for their village; and
19 "WHEREAS, At the heart of the event
20 is Aiden Binkley, whom volunteer event organizer
21 Bob GaNun met when Aiden was battling cancer; in
22 response to the tragic loss of Aiden, his young
23 brothers, Jake and Devin, formed Aiden's Army in
24 2011, to inspire kids to shave their heads for
25 St. Baldrick's Foundation; and
3518
1 "WHEREAS, Aiden's Army is unique due
2 to 90 percent of those who get their heads shaved
3 are children; in 2014, St. Baldrick's Ladies
4 Night was formed when the Wednesday Mother's Club
5 teamed up with Aiden's Army, and concurrently ran
6 a cupcake sale, raising $1,000 in a few short
7 hours; four years later, the cupcake sales
8 evolved into an annual St. Baldrick's Ladies
9 Night Dinner, which has raised $200,000
10 cumulatively; and
11 "WHEREAS, Today, through the
12 steadfast efforts of Aiden's brothers, his
13 parents, Lisa and Michael Binkley, and his aunt,
14 Terry Binkley Paterno, who serves as chairperson
15 of St. Baldrick's Ladies Night, Floral Park's
16 annual hometown shave event continues to honor
17 Aiden's memory and his positive attitude, which
18 has inspired many throughout the last
19 seven years; when Aiden was diagnosed, he truly
20 believed he got cancer to cure cancer; and
21 "WHEREAS, Since its first shave
22 event, Aiden's Army and St. Baldrick's Ladies
23 Night has raised more than $2,000,000 for cancer
24 research; in 2018, the two Village of Floral Park
25 events were ranked sixth in the world for
3519
1 donations raised for the St. Baldrick's
2 Foundation; currently, through increased
3 childhood cancer research, approximately
4 90 percent of kids with the most common type of
5 cancer will live; and
6 "WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is
7 pleased to have the opportunity to express its
8 highest admiration for Aiden's Army and
9 St. Baldrick's Foundation, and to wish both
10 organizations continued success in all their
11 worthy endeavors; now, therefore, be it
12 "RESOLVED, That this Legislative
13 Body pause in its deliberations to commemorate
14 the 9th Annual St. Baldrick's Shave Off and the
15 4th Annual Ladies Night, in honor of Aiden
16 Binkley; and be it further
17 "RESOLVED, That a copy of this
18 resolution, suitably engrossed, be transmitted to
19 Aiden's Army."
20 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Senator
21 Phillips.
22 SENATOR PHILLIPS: Yes. So
23 Mr. President, thank you.
24 And I rise today to welcome the
25 Binkley family and to honor the Binkley family
3520
1 and to honor Aiden, who passed away, as the
2 resolution said, on December 30, 2010, at the
3 young age of 11, after losing his courageous
4 battle with cancer.
5 In July 2008, Aiden was diagnosed
6 with a rare form of cancer called
7 rhabdomyosarcoma. And as his father said today,
8 sadly, because he's had to say that word so many
9 times in his life, he says it off the tip of his
10 tongue.
11 During Aiden's illness the Binkley
12 family learned about St. Baldrick's Foundation,
13 which hosts thousands of these local events to
14 raise funds for childhood cancer. As mentioned
15 in the resolution, in 2009 Aiden participated in
16 his first St. Baldrick's Shave Off, which
17 occurred in Floral Park thanks to Bob GaNun, who
18 is also here today. Thank you, Bob.
19 At the event, people shaved their
20 heads in unity with children who have lost their
21 own hair during their cancer treatment. Numerous
22 friends, families and community members turned
23 out in droves to show their support for Aiden by
24 shaving their heads.
25 At the event, Aiden took off his
3521
1 baseball cap. And according to his family, as he
2 stood amongst his new friends, he smiled and said
3 "For the first time, I feel normal."
4 Well, I never met Aiden. I have
5 learned he was a special kid who could light up a
6 room -- friendly, smart, caring, artistic. He
7 was a big fan of the New York Jets -- we won't
8 say anything about that -- especially Quarterback
9 Mark Sanchez, whom he established a personal
10 friendship with.
11 Shortly after Aiden passed away, his
12 brothers, Jake and Devin, took their grief and
13 their sorrow and formed this Aiden's Army, to
14 inspire kids all over the place to shave their
15 heads for the St. Baldrick's event.
16 The Floral Park event is now one of
17 1,000 annual events worldwide. This year
18 200 people shaved their heads in honor of Aiden
19 and helped raise over $400,000.
20 As a complement to this, as the
21 resolution said, the Wednesday Mothers Club of
22 Floral Park partnered up and created the
23 St. Baldrick's Ladies Night in 2014. And they
24 started as a cupcake sale, which raised over a
25 thousand dollars in just a few hours. And they
3522
1 thought, Shoot, if we can raise a thousand
2 dollars in a couple of hours, think what else we
3 can do.
4 So I know I was graciously invited
5 to their event this past year, and I had no idea
6 what I was going to walk into. And I walked into
7 over 700 women who were there to raise money for
8 the St. Baldrick's Foundation, which raised over
9 200,000 in that one night.
10 Since the inception of the first
11 Shave Off in 2009, total donations raised in
12 Floral Park has exceeded $2.5 million. Now, for
13 those of you that don't know Floral Park, it's
14 not a large community. And this really is what
15 community is all about: coming together and
16 working for a cause. Their success has made the
17 Floral Park St. Baldrick's events the sixth top
18 fundraiser in the world for the foundation.
19 One day while they were driving to
20 treatment, Aiden told his mother that he thought
21 the reason he got cancer was so that he could
22 help find a cure.
23 So to each of you who have loved and
24 cared for Aiden, I have no doubt that he is
25 looking down on you at all times and thanking you
3523
1 for continuing his effort to find a cure for
2 cancer. So God bless you. Thank you for joining
3 us in the Senate today.
4 Thank you, Mr. President.
5 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Thank
6 you, Senator Phillips.
7 The question is on the resolution.
8 All in favor signify by saying aye.
9 (Response of "Aye.")
10 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Opposed?
11 (No response.)
12 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: The
13 resolution is adopted.
14 Also, Senator Phillips has opened up
15 the resolution for cosponsorship. If a member
16 chooses to be a cosponsor, please notify the
17 desk.
18 We'd like to extend a sincere
19 greeting to the Binkley family for being here
20 today. We want to thank the Binkley family for
21 your compassion, for your outstanding commitment
22 to continue to raise awareness -- not only in
23 Aiden's name, but in order to try to achieve more
24 efforts to secure funding in this fight against
25 childhood cancer.
3524
1 So we sincerely appreciate, despite
2 your adversity, all of our hard work and your
3 efforts. God bless you all.
4 Let's stand and acknowledge them.
5 (Standing ovation.)
6 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Senator
7 DeFrancisco.
8 SENATOR DeFRANCISCO: Yes, can we
9 now take up previously adopted Resolution 4323,
10 by Senator Tedisco, title only, and call on
11 Senator Tedisco to speak.
12 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: The
13 Secretary will read.
14 THE SECRETARY: Legislative
15 Resolution Number 4323, by Senator Tedisco,
16 congratulating the Mekeel Christian Academy
17 Varsity Boys Basketball Team and Head Coach Chad
18 Bowman upon the occasion of capturing the
19 New York State Public High School Athletic
20 Association Class B Boys Basketball Championship.
21 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Senator
22 Tedisco.
23 SENATOR TEDISCO: Thank you,
24 Mr. President.
25 Mr. President, I'm proud to welcome
3525
1 to the Senate chamber and honor today, after, as
2 you've said, we've passed a New York State Senate
3 resolution in their honor, from the 49th Senate
4 District, the Mekeel Christian Academy Varsity
5 Boys Basketball Team from the Town of -- and the
6 town I live in and am proud of -- the Town of
7 Glenville.
8 Now, before I go any further, I'd
9 like to introduce you to my seatmate. This is
10 Senator Akshar. And you're going to understand
11 why I just introduced him to you. The Lions
12 captured the New York State Class B Boys
13 Basketball Championship defeating Seton Hall --
14 (Laughter.)
15 SENATOR TEDISCO: -- 42 to 37 on
16 Saturday, March 17, 2018, at the Floyd L. Maines
17 Veterans Memorial Arena in Binghamton, New York.
18 My condolences to you --
19 (Laughter.)
20 SENATOR TEDISCO: -- Senator Akshar
21 represents Seton Hall Catholic and that arena,
22 and he was in the gym that day. And he has told
23 me that you played an outstanding game. His team
24 tried their very best to make up for it. He has
25 challenged me to a one-on-one contest. I've
3526
1 agreed to play left-handed and spot him 19 out of
2 21. And he thinks he has a chance.
3 (Laughter.)
4 SENATOR TEDISCO: No, he's a
5 hustler on the team. But he says he'll come back
6 next year, but unfortunately I think you will
7 too.
8 The victory earned Mekeel Christian
9 Academy the school's first ever state
10 championship, finishing with an overall record of
11 25 and 4. Outstanding.
12 During the season, the team enjoyed
13 the number-one ranking in New York State for a
14 period of 13 straight weeks. Players Deonte
15 Holder and Jordan Jackson were News Channel 13
16 All-Stars in the Capital Region, and senior
17 Carter Stewart was named the tournament's Most
18 Valuable Player and will be taking his talents to
19 Binghamton University in the fall. So you can
20 watch him rub it in a little bit more as he
21 scores a lot of points there, but helps your
22 school over there.
23 Head Coach Chad Bowman earned career
24 win number 400 in the state championship game.
25 So congratulations to you, Coach. That's an
3527
1 unbelievable figure, 400 wins.
2 In addition to the members of the
3 team, with us today are the school's other
4 assistant coaches -- Assistant Coaches Mike Show,
5 George Stewart, Khristian Collins, and Adrian
6 Barcelon -- and Athletic Director Dan Decker.
7 Truly an outstanding team, working
8 together to win an unbelievable championship in a
9 25-and-4 record.
10 Mr. President, please welcome to the
11 Senate chamber and congratulate the New York
12 State Class B Boys Basketball Championship Mekeel
13 Christian Academy's Lions and extend them all the
14 cordialities of this august body. And please
15 give the condolences to my seatmate Senator
16 Akshar.
17 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Senator
18 Akshar.
19 SENATOR AKSHAR: Well, let me set
20 the record straight. I'm not going to play
21 Senator Tedisco one on one, I'm going to arm
22 wrestle him. And I promise you that Binghamton
23 will be victorious.
24 I rise to really congratulate you.
25 I was in fact in the arena that night. And you
3528
1 played with a lot of heart. You're a great team.
2 I really, really enjoyed watching you guys play.
3 Of course I wish Seton would have won, but you
4 guys, you played a little bit better than they
5 did that night, and you certainly deserve this.
6 So it was an honor to watch you. It
7 was a privilege to watch you that evening. And
8 when you're in Binghamton, make sure you look me
9 up, all right?
10 Mr. President, thank you.
11 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Thank
12 you.
13 As noted, the resolution was
14 previously adopted on March 27th of this year.
15 We want to recognize and extend our

18 Academy. Congratulations on winning the Class B
19 State Championship. We extend all the
20 cordialities and all of the privileges of the
21 house to you.
22 So please stand and be recognized
23 and acknowledged.
24 (Standing ovation.)
25 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Senator
3529
1 DeFrancisco.
2 SENATOR DeFRANCISCO: Yes, also
3 this resolution is open for cosponsorship.
4 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: The
5 resolution is open for cosponsorship. Should you
6 choose to be a cosponsor, notify the desk.
7 Senator DeFrancisco.
8 SENATOR DeFRANCISCO: Now can we
9 take up previously adopted Resolution 3597, by
10 Senator Hannon, title only, and call on
11 Senator Hannon to speak.
12 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: The
13 Secretary will read.
14 THE SECRETARY: Legislative
15 Resolution Number 3597, by Senator Hannon,
16 recognizing June 2018 as Meningitis B Awareness
17 Month.
18 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Senator
19 Hannon.
20 SENATOR HANNON: Thank you,
21 Mr. President.
22 The full version of the resolution
23 goes into the intricate deals of what meningitis
24 is all about, the five subgroups of meningitis,
25 and a little bit about the progress that the
3530
1 State of New York has made in promoting
2 vaccination against meningitis.
3 The reason I rose today is because
4 we're joined by Patti Wukovits and Nancy Quinn,
5 Patti's mother, and they're here because of the
6 tragic circumstance to Patti's daughter Kimberly.
7 Kimberly was 17, healthy, ready to
8 graduate from high school, and came home one day
9 complaining of aches and pains and a fever, and
10 within 24 hours had to be admitted to the
11 emergency room, where they suspected bacterial
12 meningitis. And within weeks, she was subject to
13 heart and kidney failure and passed away.
14 At the time, she had vaccinations
15 against some of the strains of meningitis but
16 now, years after she passed away, we have
17 vaccines against all.
18 And it's a very surprising disease,
19 strikes without any warning, and can bring just
20 tragedy to any family. So Patti Wukovits has
21 started the Kimberly Coffey Foundation to spread
22 the word about meningitis.
23 And we in this state have only made
24 some progress. We did pass a law in 2015 in
25 regard to children entering grades 7, 8 and 12 be
3531
1 immunized. We also required warning pamphlets
2 and all that to people going into college. But
3 that's not far enough. To the two or three
4 higher education institutions that have
5 experienced a wave of meningitis in the campus,
6 they immediately require everybody to get
7 inoculated.
8 After we worked on the warning
9 pamphlet legislation, it was interesting -- to a
10 person, people who had helped us in this house
11 and the other house said to themselves, When my
12 kid goes to college, I'm going to get them
13 inoculated against meningitis.
14 So we have a ways to go. We can
15 prevent future tragedies that Patti Wukovits and
16 her mother, Nancy Quinn, went through. And I
17 just wanted to thank you.
18 And Mr. President, they've joined us
19 in the gallery. And if you can just acknowledge
20 their presence, I would appreciate it.
21 Thank you.
22 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Thank
23 you, Senator Hannon.
24 The resolution was previously
25 adopted on January 30th of this year. It is open
3532
1 for cosponsorship. Should you choose to be a
2 cosponsor, please notify the desk.
3 And at this time we'd like to
4 recognize and acknowledge Patti and Nancy, who
5 are in the gallery, if you'd please stand. We
6 thank you for your advocacy and for all of your
7 efforts to raise awareness in the fight against
8 meningitis. Thank you very much.
9 (Standing ovation.)
10 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Senator
11 DeFrancisco.
12 SENATOR DeFRANCISCO:
13 Mr. President, can you now recognize
14 Senator Klein for an introduction of an important
15 group of people here today.
16 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Senator
17 Klein.
18 SENATOR KLEIN: Thank you,
19 Mr. President.
20 I rise to recognize a very
21 distinguished group made up of parent leaders and
22 students from P.S. 24 and the Riverdale/
23 Kingsbridge Academy in Riverdale. We have with
24 us the copresidents of the P.S. 24 Parent
25 Association, Laura Moukas and Diane Salanto. We
3533
1 also have Holly Makin and Robert Heisler,
2 representing RKA. Also, Robert was also a former
3 president of 24.
4 They really personify what's best in
5 parent leadership, working very, very hard on
6 behalf of their children.
7 The reason why they're here today is
8 there was a silent auction, and they were the
9 lucky bidders to win a day in Albany hosted by
10 myself and Assemblymember Jeff Dinowitz. I
11 understand that the bidding was wild, it got up
12 to a lot of money, but they were very gracious in
13 agreeing to win this bid.
14 So I want to recognize them today
15 and praise them for their hard work. They're
16 accompanied by their kids. They're enjoying the
17 day.
18 And I hope you will give them all
19 the courtesies of our house today in the Senate,
20 Mr. President.
21 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Thank
22 you, Senator Klein.
23 On behalf of the State Senate, we'd
24 like to welcome the students, parents, faculty
25 from Riverdale/Kingsbridge Academy and P.S. 24.
3534
1 Thanks for being with us today, and we hope you
2 have an enjoyable experience here. Please stand
3 up and let us acknowledge you.

8 SENATOR SERINO: Thank you,
9 Mr. President.
10 And thank you, everyone, for your
11 support on this bill.
12 This bill was written to honor the
13 legacy of Bailey Bates. Bailey Bates was a
14 19-year-old autistic man from Poughkeepsie who
15 tragically committed suicide in July of 2017
16 after con artists preyed on his disability and
17 targeted him for that reason to exploit him
18 financially.
19 Under current state law, despite
20 evidence that the perpetrators knowingly took
21 advantage of his vulnerability when preying on
22 him, the accused stand only to be charged with
23 minimal counts of endangerment and grand larceny,
24 and they will not be held accountable for the
25 role they played in his death.
3555
1 Bailey's mother has been a champion
2 for this legislation and to ensure that his
3 legacy is one that helps to empower New Yorkers
4 by actively working to deter these kinds of
5 shameful crimes.
6 As someone who has lost a loved one
7 to suicide, I know firsthand how traumatic this
8 experience can be. I cannot imagine to cope with
9 that hurt only to find out that heartless
10 criminals who sought to exploit a vulnerable
11 person played a direct role in causing the loss.
12 We have a duty to ensure that
13 prosecutors have the tools they need to properly
14 hold these despicable perpetrators and those like
15 them accountable. That is the goal of Bailey's
16 Law.
17 When I first heard Bailey's story, I
18 immediately began researching the issue and
19 discovered another alarming parallel when I
20 discovered that seniors across our country are
21 committing suicide as a direct result of falling
22 victim to a financial scam.
23 American seniors are bilked out of
24 almost $37 billion each and every year, and too
25 many are either unable or unwilling to come
3556
1 forward about the abuse. A quick Google search
2 will reveal several news reports detailing the
3 fact that too often seniors who have been
4 victimized are turning to suicide. And just like
5 in Bailey's case, there's simply no justice when
6 this happens. These scammers are able to go back
7 out into society and prey on other vulnerable
8 victims.
9 As the Aging chair, I thought this
10 bill would provide an important opportunity to
11 give law enforcement another important tool to
12 help them prevent another all-too-silent
13 epidemic, elder abuse.
14 I thank my colleagues for
15 recognizing the importance of this bill today,
16 and I urge my colleagues in the Assembly to make
17 its passage a priority at the end of session so
18 that we can more effectively empower and protect
19 vulnerable New Yorkers.
20 Thank you.

24 I want to just thank my colleagues
25 for finally allowing for New York City residents,
3559
1 community board members in particular, to be able
2 to apply for revitalization grants.
3 As you know, a lot of our city is
4 waterfront, and so many of us will be able to
5 appreciate the fact that the state will be
6 willing to support the efforts of citizens in our
7 city as well as throughout the state, because
8 many of our colleagues have been making sure that
9 their districts are part of this program.
10 We will be supporting those
11 citizens, those communities are working very hard
12 to revitalize their waterfront areas, especially
13 as it relates to economic development activities,
14 jobs, and other maritime activities in
15 particular.
16 So on behalf of the citizens of my
17 district and of many of the other districts --
18 Senator Lanza is on this bill, and a number of
19 others, Senator Savino -- those of us who
20 represent waterfront areas in particular, we --
21 on behalf of our constituents throughout the
22 state, I want to thank my colleagues for passing
23 this legislation which will now allow community
24 boards to be eligible to participate in the
25 waterfront revitalization grant program.

14 I want to commend my colleague
15 Senator Murphy for this very important bill.
16 It's extremely important to the schools in the
17 county of Westchester.
18 Unfortunately, and incorrectly,
19 Westchester is inserted within the Hudson Valley
20 region for purposes of Foundation Aid and also
21 for Capital Aid for the schools. This bill
22 requires that the State Education Department
23 wisely conduct a study and determine whether
24 Westchester should be placed within that region
25 or more appropriately within the Long Island/
3573
1 New York City region -- which it really does
2 belong there, and it will make a huge difference
3 to all the schools in our district.
4 So I commend the sponsor, I was
