UNIVERSAL VOTER REGISTRATIONProposal Would Enroll

More Than 2 Million NewVoters in NY State

In the aftermath of NationalVoter Registration Day, SenatorMichael Gianaris (D-Queens) andAssemblymember Brian Kavanagh(D-Manhattan) called for the en-actment of their Voter Empower-ment Act, which would automati-cally register every eligible citizento vote through the Department ofMotor Vehicles and other govern-ment agencies, only excludingthose who affirmatively opt out.This reform would newly registermore than two million New York-ers to vote.

In addition to automaticallyregistering eligible consenting citi-zens, the Voter Empowerment Actwould allow voters to automati-cally update their information, per-mit pre-registration of 16- and 17-year-olds, automatically transferregistrations of New Yorkers whomove within the state, provide ac-cess to voter registration recordsand registration of eligible citizensonline, and allow people to regis-ter or change their party later in theelection cycle.

“There is no good reason whyour citizens are made to jumpthrough hoops just to exercise

their democratic rights,” saidSenator Michael Gianaris. “Wemust do all we can to increaseNew York’s dismal voter partici-pation rates and automaticallyregistering eligible citizens tovote would be a great start.”

“Our current voter registrationsystem makes it far too difficult forNew Yorkers to get themselves reg-istered and get to the polls,” said

Assemblymember Brian Kavanagh.“Handwritten forms, data entry er-rors, arbitrary deadlines, and otherdefects in the system all too oftenmake it difficult or impossible forvoters to vote. The reforms laid outin the Voter Empowerment Actwould transform and modernize ourvoter registration system to make ithelp rather than hinder the demo-cratic process.”

QUEENS HIGH SCHOOL FIRST INNATION TO PILOT SCIENCE MODULE

Module was authored byQueens teacher inresponse to Rory

Staunton’s death fromsepsis in 2012.

Monsignor McClancy Memo-rial High School in East Elmhurst,Queens, became the first school inthe country to pilot a new scienceeducation module designed to teachmiddle and high school studentsabout infectious diseases with aspecial focus on sepsis. Last week,students from the school traveled toWashington D.C., where the mod-ule was announced at Rory StauntonFoundation’s National Forum onSepsis and praised by RandiWeingarten, President of the Ameri-can Federation of Teachers, andSenator Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.).

Rory Staunton of Sunnyside,Queens, N.Y., was 12 years oldwhen he died of sepsis after scrap-ing his arm playing basketball atschool in 2012. A number of theMcClancy Memorial H.S. studentsknew Rory through local basket-ball competitions and growing up

together in the neighborhood.Rory’s parents, Ciaran and OrlaithStaunton, established the RoryStaunton Foundation in his honorto raise awareness of sepsis andimprove hospital protocols aroundthe condition.

Ms. Ann Smith, a biology andenvironmental science teacher atMcClancy Memorial H.S., begandeveloping the module after at-tending Rory’s funeral mass, whichhad many of her own students inattendance. “After hearing Rory’sstory, I realized that students in myclasses were emotionally impactedby his death I wanted to help themunderstand what happened toRory,” says Ms. Smith. She foundthat the school science curriculadid not include sepsis, even thoughit is both common and deadly,killing over 250,000 Americans ineach year.

The module meets CommonCore Standards for Science andTechnical Subjects, AP BiologyCurriculum Framework, Centersfor Disease Control NationalHealth Education Standards, Na-

tional Standards for Civics andGovernment, and NextGen ScienceStandards. The sepsis module hasbeen reviewed and supported byDr. Martin Dorfler, Senior VicePresident of Clinical Strategy andDevelopment, North Shore-LIJHealth System.

“Our goal is to implement thenew education module in schooldistricts across the country to edu-cate a new generation to understandsepsis, its symptoms, and treatmentso that young people no longer diethrough lack of awareness of thecondition,” says Orlaith Staunton.

About The Rory StauntonFoundation

The Rory Staunton Foundationseeks to ensure that no other youngperson or adult dies of sepsis be-cause of lack of recognition of thedeadly symptoms by the medicalcommunity and responsible au-thorities and to serve as a majorinformation source for the publicon signs of sepsis.

SUPPORT GROWS FOR PERMANENTEXTENSION OF JAMES ZADROGA 9/11Senators and representatives added their

names to the bill to permanently extend the 9/11 health and compensation programs as morethan 100 first responders and former DailyShow host Jon Stewart spent the day lobbyingmembers of Congress in Washington. SixSenators and 11 Representatives signed on asco-sponsors of the James Zadroga 9/11 Healthand Compensation Reauthorization Act, bring-ing the total number of supporters to 43 in theSenate and 162 in the House. The authoriza-tion for the World Trade Center Health Pro-gram – created in 2010 by the James Zadroga9/11 Health and Compensation Act – is set toexpire at the end of the month.

Former Daily Host, Jon Stewart, firstresponders and survivors – many sick fromthe toxic exposure on September 11th andits aftermath – met with members of the U.S.Senate and House to implore Congress toreauthorize the World Trade Center HealthProgram and Victim Compensation Fundestablished by the Zadroga Act. SenatorsGillibrand, Schumer and Kirk are the leadsponsors of the permanent reauthorizationin the Senate that has the support of 43 totalsenators, including six Republicans and theaddition of six sponsors

The illnesses our first responders andsurvivors have won’t expire, neither should

their health care, said Senator Gillibrand.Congress only acts when real people comeand demand it – but our heroes shouldn’thave to keep coming down to Washington tolobby for the care they need. It’s time topermanently reauthorize the World TradeCenter Health Program and Victims Com-pensation Fund. If we fail to extend theseprograms, then we will have fallen short ofour nation’s promise to never forget 9/11.

Jon Stewart was one of the drivingforces behind getting the Zadroga Actpassed in the first place, and his support iscrucial to making the law permanent, saidCongresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY). The heroes of 9/11 who fought theflames and inhaled the dust are being forcedto wage a battle on two fronts: a fight tosurvive the illnesses related to their ser-vice at Ground Zero, and a fight on CapitolHill to ensure the health and compensationthey rely on do not disappear. They’veendured chemotherapy, daily asthma at-tacks, permanent disabilities, post-trau-matic stress, and other terrible illnesses.They live the consequences of 9/11 daily.It’s not enough to praise their heroism. Jonis helping to send the message: it’s time forpoliticians in Washington to permanentlyextend the Zadroga Act.

WOODSIDE YOUTHRETURN TO GREENING

by David Rosasco

Having reached and incorporated theentire Woodside zip code into the area ofoperations during the summer months, andwith school having begun in earnest, theyouth brought themselves back to the begin-ning of their efforts which will involve themaintaining of all they have achieved, withHuzagary Usman, 9th grade student at LifeSciences Secondary School asserting “I cansee keeping what we have done clean andgraffiti free will be just as hard, or evenharder than doing it the first time, but that’sa challenge we can take on.”

The youth gathered together as they haveover past times on Saturday, September 19to perform numerous tasks that normallywould be deployed over many days due notonly to the school year having commenced,but through the particularly energetic andenthused youth that made themselves avail-able from the 7th grade at St. SebastianSchool as well as missionaries from TheChurch of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,a constant companion each instance the over-

all youth team assembled for action.With the approach of colder weather, the

youth first seized on the opportunity to mulchnumerous street trees along Woodside Av-enue between 59th and 63 Streets, with someof their members branching off to clean thesaid area. Having accomplished this task,strong elements of the youth reassembled tocontinue cleaning, weeding and graffiti re-moval along two different routes, first along61st Street between Roosevelt and 37th Av-enues, then again along Roosevelt Avenuefrom 61st to 60th Street. The youth also tookprecious moments to repaint fire hydrantsthat had previously been painted but hadfaded with the passage of time.

Yuki Hirano, visiting from Japan anddetermined to join this work as it, in part, isinspired by the clean and orderly streets inher country, observed as the project surgedforward throughout the entire day “Surelythis work is far more important for thechildren to build character and take pride intheir community, that anyone whether fromJapan or Woodside.”
