Medical MarijuanaPractitioners licensed to prescribecontrolled substances could cer-tify patient need, and certified pa-tients would register with theHealth Department. Both the cer-tification process and dispensingof medical marijuana would beincluded in the I-STOP prescrip-tion monitoring system for con-trolled substances enacted in 2012.

“Anybody who ever had a fam-ily member suffer from a debili-tating disease learns very quicklythe limitations of modern medi-cine at treating pain,” SenatorSavino said. “Doctors and patientshave documented that marijuanacan offer very effective pain treat-ment where other medicationshave failed for many patients whosuffer from other life-threateningor debilitating conditions.”

“This is an issue whose timehas come,” said Councilmember

Daniel Dromm, author of a NewYork City Council resolution insupport of medical marijuana.“People suffering with severemedical conditions should not betreated as criminals. It is time forNew York State to stop denyingthis palliative measure to patientswho so desperately need it.”

The Health Department wouldlicense and regulate “registered or-ganizations” to produce and dis-pense medical marijuana for certi-fied patients. They could be hospi-tals, pharmacies, or other for-profitbusinesses, or not-for-profit corpo-rations and would be required tocomply with detailed “seed to sale”security controls and regulations.A clinical advisory committee madeup predominately of health care pro-fessionals would advise the HealthCommissioner on clinical matters.

“This bill is much more re-strictive than the New York lawsregulating highly dangerous drugslike morphine, Oxycontin, or

Valium,” said Gottfried.The bill would impose an ex-

cise tax on manufacturing and dis-pensing medical marijuana. Halfthe revenue would be shared withthe locality where it is manufac-tured or dispensed.

“This is sensible, strict, andhumane legislation. The fact thatthis is not the law in New York ispolitical correctness run amok, atthe expense of the suffering ofthousands of our fellow New York-ers,” Gottfried added.

A 2012 Siena poll found that astrong majority of New Yorkerssupport legalization of medicalmarijuana, 61%-33%, including69%-27% among independent vot-ers.[1] A study published in TheNew England Journal of Medi-cine, May 30, 2013, found that76% of physicians would prescribemedical marijuana to a patient withmetastatic breast cancer - includ-ing physicians in jurisdictions inwhich it is currently illegal.[2]

21st Annual Queens Pride Parade21st Annual Queens Pride Parade

On June 2nd, thousands of participants marched down 37th Avenue in Jackson Heights to celebrateover two decades of the Pride Parade in Queens, including CM Jimmy Van Bramer, Speaker ChristineQuinn, CM Dromm and numerous elected officials. During the parade, Council Member Van Bramerspoke about the progress the LGBT Movement has made throughout the nation as well as in the Stateof New York State since he came out in college. Last year, Council Member Van Bramer became thefirst openly gay elected official in Queens to get married after the state legalized same-sex marriage.

Astoria WWII Hero Honored

Senator Gianaris with Robert Danke and family and friends, from right toleft: Robert’s son Bob, granddaughter Deanna, daughter in law Vicki, sonChris, wife Loretta, son John, and friend Tony Barsamian

Senator Michael Gianaris honored life-long Astoria resident and World War II heroRobert (Bob) Danke as an inductee into theNew York State Senate Veteran’s Hall ofFame. The Veteran’s Hall of Fame is de-signed to pay tribute to New Yorkers whosegallantry in the U.S. Armed Forces is comple-mented by service to their communities. Mr.Danke was officially inducted into theVeteran’s Hall of Fame at a May 21st cer-emony in Albany. Senator Gianaris pre-sented the former Navy Seaman First Classwith an official certificate and poster out-side his home in Astoria.

“Bob Danke is a true American hero andI am grateful for the opportunity to com-memorate the services he rendered his coun-try and his community,” Senator Gianarissaid. “He fought bravely to protect ourcountry’s freedom and he is a neighbor ofwhom all of us in Astoria can be proud.”

Mr. Danke displayed extraordinary brav-

ery on the beaches of Salerno, Italy in Sep-tember 1943. He swam through a haze ofbullets to rescue two fellow members of theAllied forces who were stranded and help-less on a landing craft; doctors from thescene say that he undoubtedly saved theirlives. He received the Purple Heart for inju-ries sustained in his efforts. This episodecharacterizes Robert Danke’s distinguishedservice throughout WWII, which spannedthe European, African and Pacific theatersof war. Mr. Danke was among the first toland on the beaches of Italy and was atOkinawa when Japan surrendered. Over thecourse of his service, he also received theBronze Star for Valor.

Mr. Danke and his wife Loretta are bothlifelong Astoria residents. After his time inthe service, Mr. Danke returned home andworked as a bartender and for the phonecompany in a local office, becoming a fix-ture of the community.

Crossing The Riverby Sue Baldock

Racism. It’s in all of us. Icringe as I walk down the streets ofSunnyside, hearing young peoplereferring to each other as “Nigger”not recognizing the word for theracial epitaph it is. Director/writer/Sunnysider Emilie McDonalddrives this point in her latest work,“Crossing the River” during ashowing last Sunday at The SecretTheater in LIC. This poignant talebased on a true story, brings tolight the uncomfortable reality thatracism is far from erased. It livesand breathes from cross burningsin the south to gay-bashing righthere in New York.

This edgy film explores a youngteen’s exposure to hate for no otherreason than a difference of color.Succumbing to pressure from hismother’s boyfriend, Ted (adeptlyportrayed by Bruce Smolanoff,Emilie’s husband and fellow cre-ative force) Grant burns a cross onan interracial family’s lawn in thecommunity. As Bruce commentedafter the film, “I was afraid to playthis role…it forced me to accessmy own racism”. He went on toquote that “we can’t eradicate rac-ism until we admit our own.” Ted,the antithesis of Bruce’s persona,tore away at norms. He didn’tknow why he hated, he just did;and not only people of color, butwomen as well. As one audiencemember commented, “racism is alack of respect for your fellow hu-man beings”.

Disrespect transcends colordifferences, sexism, sexual orien-

tation and religion. It can be subtleas in the film’s school scene. OnMichaela’s first day the teacherasks “where are your people from”.Michaela not recognizing the un-dertone of the question responds“Tennessee” with the innocence ofa child. Tammy Arnstein, Pro-ducer, was moved by this. “Beinga parent, I’m obligated to bringstories such as this to life to helpmy children understand the impactof this type of meaningless hatredto themselves and society.”

The real-life boys of this storyapologized for their crime in court,inspiring Emilie with the glimpseof hope that a child can change.Her film is the right combination,“…both disturbing and reassuringwhile posing more questions thananswers” as noted by moderator,Deborah Oster Pannell.

It has so provoked me that Ihave thought of little else sinceseeing this extraordinary short film.After my initial shock that crossburning still occurs; I reflected onour community. Sunnyside wasidentified as one of the “happiestplaces to live” by a study fromAlbany a few years ago. The studysurmised that it was due to thenumber of cultures within ourneighborhood. Regardless of itssource, we should not allow thishappiness to insulate us from thereality that racism is still a preva-lent issue. As the film artfullydepicts, it is a river we must crossto truly have a better society.

Helping Employ Our VeteransState Senator Joseph P.

Addabbo, Jr. (D-Queens) an-nounced that legislation which hesponsors (S.4402) to help job-seek-ing veterans and potential employ-ers to better communicate aboutjob skills earned in the militarywas recently approved by both thefull New York State Senate andState Assembly.

“Often, veterans who are look-ing for jobs, as well as the employ-ers interviewing them, aren’t surehow to translate military titles andskills into civilian workforceterms,” said Addabbo, who servesas the ranking Democratic mem-ber of the Senate Committee onVeterans, Homeland Security andMilitary Affairs. “This difficultyin understanding how certain typesof military experience can carryover to the civilian labor forcesometimes means that former ser-vicemen and servicewomen loseout on good jobs and employers

miss out on great veteran employ-ees. That’s a shame for all in-volved and I am gratified that all ofmy colleagues in the State Senateand State Assembly, on both sidesof the aisle, have joined me inmoving this legislation forward.”

Addabbo’s legislation, whichwill now go to Governor Cuomofor his review and final action,would require the State Divisionof Veteran’s Affairs to provide anInternet connection on its Web sitethat is capable of translating mili-tary job titles and skills into civil-ian terms. The senator noted thatthis tool would be helpful to veter-ans and employers alike and couldaid veterans in identifying openpositions that are appropriate totheir skills and experience.

“Unemployment among ourreturning servicemen andservicewomen is a big problem anda very serious concern on so manylevels,” said Addabbo. “In many

cases, the positions may be therefor these veterans, but neither thejob-seekers nor the job-providerscan figure out how to translate thedetails of military resumes into suc-cessful job offers.”

“By having the State Divisionof Veterans Affairs provide easilyaccessible information to helpbreach this gap in understanding,we may be able to help more veter-ans find good jobs and help moreemployers find good workers,” saidAddabbo. “I hope that the gover-nor will soon sign this importantpiece of legislation into law.”

Veterans who would like to getan idea of how this job translationtool could work may wish to visitMilitary.com and look into the Website’s “Veteran Jobs” section. Thispart of the site offers not only mili-tary-friendly job listings, but a linkto a “Military Skills Translator”tool similar to that proposed inAddabbo’s legislation.
