CHILDREN THAN TO REPAIR BROKEN MEN.

WITH THAT, MR. SPEAKER, I SHOULD SAY TO MY COLLEAGUES

THAT YOU DO HAVE ON YOUR DESK AND/OR IN FRONT OF YOU A MAIN CALENDAR

FOR TODAY. OUR PRINCIPAL WORK FOR TODAY IS TAKING UP RESOLUTIONS ON

PAGE 3 AND THEN WE WILL CONTINUE -- CONTINUE CONSENTING WHERE WE LEFT

OFF ON YESTERDAY AT CALENDAR NO. 101. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING SESSION

THERE IS AN ABSOLUTE NEED FOR A MAJORITY CONFERENCE, AND WE WILL

NYS ASSEMBLY FEBRUARY 23, 2021

LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION MEMORIALIZING GOVERNOR

ANDREW M. CUOMO TO PROCLAIM FEBRUARY 14TH, 2021 AS DONOR DAY IN

THE STATE OF NEW YORK, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE OBSERVANCE OF NATIONAL

DONOR DAY.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: ON THE RESOLUTION, ALL

THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE; OPPOSED, NO. THE RESOLUTION IS

ADOPTED.

THE CLERK: ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION NO. 62, MS.

ROSENTHAL.

LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION MEMORIALIZING GOVERNOR

ANDREW M. CUOMO TO PROCLAIM MARCH 6TH, 2021 AS LYMPHEDEMA DAY

IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE OBSERVANCE OF THE

SIXTH ANNUAL WORLD LYMPHEDEMA DAY.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: MS. ROSENTHAL ON THE

RESOLUTION.

MS. ROSENTHAL: THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER.

TODAY I RISE TO RAISE AWARENESS OF THE CONDITION KNOWN AS

LYMPHEDEMA, WHICH IMPACTS MORE THAN TEN MILLION AMERICANS AND 250

MILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE. LYMPHEDEMA CAUSES SWELLING OF ONE'S

ARMS OR LEGS AND SEVERELY LIMITS A PERSON'S MOBILITY. MANY ARE BORN

WITH THIS CONDITION BUT OTHERS DEVELOP IT FOLLOWING CANCER TREATMENT.

IN 2014, THE NEW YORK STATE LEGISLATURE BECAME THE FIRST LEGISLATURE IN

THE WORLD TO RECOGNIZE LYMPHEDEMA AWARENESS DAY. AND IN 2016

WE RECOGNIZED THE FIRST ANNUAL WORLD LYMPHEDEMA DAY, WHICH THIS

BODY RECOGNIZES EVERY YEAR SINCE. IN PREVIOUS YEARS I HAVE BEEN

NYS ASSEMBLY FEBRUARY 23, 2021

JOINED IN THE ASSEMBLY CHAMBER BY A FANTASTIC SET OF ADVOCATES FROM

THE LYMPHEDEMA EDUCATION AND RESEARCH NETWORK, INCLUDING

PRESIDENT AND CEO BILL REPICCI AND COLLEEN MCGUIRE, THE CHIEF

OPERATING OFFICER. WE ARE ALSO ALWAYS JOINED BY A PAIR OF LE&RN'S

STRONGEST ADVOCATES, TIFFANY DETLEFSEN AND HER 11-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER

EMMA, WHO WAS BORN WITH PRIMARY LYMPHATIC DISEASE. DESPITE HER

YOUNG AGE, EMMA HAS LONG BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE CAUSE AND

PARTICIPATES IN FUNDRAISING, GIVING SPEECHES AND EVEN LOBBYING IN

WASHINGTON, D.C. FOR UNIVERSAL INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR COMPRESSION

GARMENTS USED BY THOSE WITH LYMPHEDEMA. LATER WE WILL ALL HERE

TODAY BE ADOPTING A RESOLUTION HONORING LINDA BATWIN O'DONOVAN, AN

ADVOCATE WHO HAS WORKED WITH LE&RN SINCE 2015 AFTER BEING

DIAGNOSED WITH LYMPHEDEMA IN 2011. LINDA BATWIN O'DONOVAN HAS

LOBBIED IN WASHINGTON D.C. FOR NEW YORKERS LIVING WITH

LYMPHEDEMA, AND HAS PARTICIPATED IN NEW YORK'S RUN/WALK TO FIGHT

LYMPHEDEMA AND LYMPHATIC DISEASES, EVEN BEING HONORED WITH THE

LE&RN ADVOCATE AWARD AT THE 2019 WALK.

LYMPHEDEMA INFLICTS FINANCIAL, PHYSICAL AND

PSYCHOLOGICAL STRESS ON INDIVIDUALS LIVING WITH THIS CONDITION, AND THEIR

FAMILIES AS WELL. BUT WORLD LYMPHEDEMA DAY SERVES AS AN

OPPORTUNITY TO RAISE AWARENESS OF THIS CONDITION AND ENCOURAGE

GOVERNMENT AND RESEARCHERS WORLDWIDE TO ENGAGE IN ACTIONS THAT WILL

ADVANCE THE MISSION TOWARD EFFECTIVE TREATMENTS AND EVENTUALLY A CURE.

I'D LIKE TO THANK LE&RN AND ALL THE ADVOCATES FOR THE

WORK THEY DO, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THEM IN PERSON NEXT YEAR

NYS ASSEMBLY FEBRUARY 23, 2021

FOR OUR NEXT WORLD LYMPHEDEMA DAY GATHERING. THANK YOU.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: THANK YOU.

ON THE RESOLUTION, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING

AYE; OPPOSED, NO. THE RESOLUTION IS ADOPTED.

THE CLERK: ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION NO. 63, MS.

LUPARDO.

LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION MEMORIALIZING GOVERNOR

ANDREW M. CUOMO TO PROCLAIM FEBRUARY 20-27, 2021 AS FFA WEEK IN

THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: MS. LUPARDO ON THE

RESOLUTION.

MS. LUPARDO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALLOWING

ME TO SAY A FEW WORDS. THIS IS IN RECOGNITION OF FUTURE FARMERS OF

AMERICA WEEK HERE IN NEW YORK STATE AND IT'S PART OF NATIONAL FUTURE

FARMERS OF AMERICA WEEK. WE HAVE 136 CHAPTERS IN NEW YORK STATE,

AND THE LARGEST ONE IS IN QUEENS AT JOHN BOWNE HIGH SCHOOL. THEY

HAVE 586 MEMBERS AT THAT ONE HIGH SCHOOL. YOU KNOW, IN 19 -- IN

2020, LAST YEAR, THE FFA SAW A 24 PERCENT INCREASE IN PARTICIPATION. IT

WAS THE HIGHEST INCREASE IN THE COUNTRY. SO LOTS OF YOUNG PEOPLE ARE

GETTING INTERESTED IN AGRICULTURE, CAREERS IN AGRICULTURE AND RELATED

FIELDS. THE AG COMMITTEE THIS MORNING WAS JOINED BY A JUNIOR FROM

THAT HIGH SCHOOL. HE'S THE SECRETARY OF THE CHAPTER AND HE'S ALSO THE

CAPTAIN OF THEIR AQUACULTURE TEAM. HIS NAME IS CRISTIAN GILCES. HE

WAS VERY INSPIRING AND WE REGRET THAT HE COULDN'T BE IN THE CHAMBER

WITH US TODAY AS WE ACKNOWLEDGE THIS.

NYS ASSEMBLY FEBRUARY 23, 2021

JUST IN CLOSING ON -- ON THIS MATTER, FFA IS FOCUSED ON

YOUTH LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, ONE OF THE PREMIERE PROGRAMS IN -- IN

THE COUNTRY. THEY ARE BUILDING COMMUNITIES AND STRENGTHENING NEW

YORK AGRICULTURE. I KNOW THAT QUITE A FEW MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE

PARTICIPATED IN FFA WHEN THEY WERE KIDS AND I'M SURE WE'RE GOING TO

HEAR FROM A COUPLE RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: THANK YOU.

MR. TAGUE.

MR. TAGUE: THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER, FOR THE

OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ON THE RESOLUTION. FIRST, I WANT TO COMMEND THE

SPONSOR, CHAIRWOMAN -- CHAIRWOMAN LUPARDO. AS A FORMER FFA

MEMBER OF THE SCHOHARIE VALLEY FFA, I'M PROUD TO BE A COSPONSOR OF

THIS RESOLUTION AND SUPPORT OUR YOUNG FOLKS IN FFA. YOU KNOW, AS SHE

MENTIONED, IT WAS VERY INSPIRING THIS MORNING DURING OUR AG

COMMITTEE MEETING TO HEAR FROM CRISTIAN GILCES, WHO'S THE SECRETARY

OF THE JOHN BOWNE HIGH SCHOOL IN FLUSHING, QUEENS. AND IN

FLUSHING, QUEENS TO HAVE THE LARGEST FFA IN NEW YORK STATE, TO ME, IS

REMARKABLE. YOU KNOW, THE THINGS THAT HE TALKED ABOUT, THE THINGS THAT

THEY DO IS JUST AWE INSPIRING TO ALL OF US, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT HAVE

BEEN INVOLVED IN THE AGRICULTURE MOST OF OUR LIVES. SO, THESE YOUNG

FOLKS, LIKE CRISTIAN, ARE OUR BRIGHTEST AND MOST AMBITIOUS. THEY'RE THE

FUTURE TO ROOTING OUT ANY HUNGER PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE IN OUR COUNTRY.

THESE YOUNG FOLKS ARE THE KEY TO FEEDING AMERICA FOR THE GENERATION TO

COME.

AGAIN, I WANT TO COMMEND CHAIRWOMAN LUPARDO.

NYS ASSEMBLY FEBRUARY 23, 2021

I'M PROUD TO BE A COSPONSOR ON THIS AND URGE ALL OUR CONSTITUENT -- OR

ALL OF OUR COLLEAGUES TO PLEASE JOIN IN SUPPORTING THIS RESOLUTION.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. SPEAKER.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: THANK YOU, SIR.

MR. SALKA.

MR. SALKA: THANK YOU, SIR. AND I WANT TO

COMMEND THE SPONSOR OF THIS BILL. WE ALL UNDERSTAND WHAT IMPORTANCE

FFA IS TO OUR YOUNG PEOPLE IN OUR AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITIES AND EVEN

IN OUR URBAN COMMUNITIES. I ALWAYS LIKE TO TELL A LITTLE STORY TO PROVE

MY POINT, AND MY STORY IS -- IS THIS: I KNEW A WOMAN WHO HAD TO GO

THROUGH A DIVORCE AND HAD TWO CHILDREN THAT SHE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR

BRINGING UP, AND I WATCHED ONE YOUNG MAN, HIS NAME IS AUSTIN NALLY.

AS HE GREW UP AND BECAME INVOLVED WITH THE FFA HE DEVELOPED SKILLS

AND TALENTS AND APTITUDE TOWARD RESPONSIBLE LIVING AND BECOME A GOOD

CITIZEN FOR HIS COMMUNITY. AND NOW AUSTIN HAS BEEN ACCEPTED TO A

SCHOOL IN IOWA TO STUDY AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS. AND THE COMMUNITY IS

PROUD OF HIM, I'M VERY PROUD OF HIM. AND IT'S A CASE IN POINT THAT FFA

IS AN INVALUABLE ORGANIZATION THAT HAS HELPED HUNDREDS OF -- THOUSANDS

OF YOUNG PEOPLE ON THEIR PATH TO A GOOD CAREER IN AGRICULTURE BECAUSE

WE KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS. AND I KNOW IN UPSTATE COMMUNITIES

WE REALIZE THAT FFA IS -- IS -- IS GROWING, AND THAT'S A GREAT THING. AND

THE BIGGER THEY GET AND THE MORE IMPORTANT THEY GET TO A COMMUNITY,

THE BETTER OFF IT IS FOR THAT COMMUNITY.

SO, AGAIN, I WANT TO THANK THE SPONSOR, AND THIS WAS

DEFINITELY A -- SOMETHING WORTH CELEBRATING. SO, THANK YOU,

NYS ASSEMBLY FEBRUARY 23, 2021

ASSEMBLYWOMAN. WE ALL APPRECIATE IT.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: THANK YOU.

MR. JONES.

MR. JONES: HI, MR. SPEAKER. THANK YOU. I ALSO

WANT TO SPEAK ON THE RESOLUTION AND THANK OUR -- OUR CHAIRWOMAN FOR

THIS AND ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE AGRICULTURE COMMITTEE. THIS MORNING,

WE -- WE HEARD A WONDERFUL STORY FROM A YOUNG PERSON IN -- IN QUEENS.

AND JUST THINK ABOUT IT, THE FFA CHAPTER IN QUEENS IS THE LARGEST IN OUR

STATE, WHICH SAYS A LOT ABOUT HOW FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA IS -- IS

DOING. AND I WAS A MEMBER MYSELF, CHATEAUGAY CENTRAL SCHOOL, OF

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA. IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT PROGRAM. IT TEACHES

OUR YOUNG PEOPLE LEADERSHIP SKILLS, NOT ONLY IN AGRICULTURE BUT ALSO IN

PUBLIC SERVICE AND IN OUR COMMUNITIES.

SO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO THE SPONSOR OF THIS. AND

IT JUST SHOWS HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE WHAT OUR YOUNG PEOPLE ARE

DOING. AND AS MR. TAGUE SAID, THESE PEOPLE ARE RESPONSIBLE -- ARE

GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR FUTURE IN FEEDING OF AMERICA. AND

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS AND WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THESE

YOUNG PEOPLE IN THEIR ENDEAVORS TO FEED AMERICA AND FOR THE FUTURE OF

OUR AGRICULTURE. SO, THANK YOU.
