BILL TO SUPPORTINTERNATIONAL K-12LANGUAGE EDUCATION

VICTIM COMPENSATIONFUND HELPING 9/11RESPONDERS & SURVIVORSIN ALL 50 STATES TOREBUILD THEIR LIVES

Rep. Joe Crowley (D-Queens, theBronx), Vice Chair of the Democratic Cau-cus, announced he joined Reps. David Price(D-NC), Leonard Lance (R-NJ) and DonYoung (R-AK) in introducing the WorldLanguage Advancement Act (H.R. 3096),which would help state and local schooldistricts implement innovative K-12 lan-guage programs.

“With over 150 languages spoken inQueens, I’ve seen firsthand how languagecan be a gateway to cultural understanding,”said Congressman Crowley. “In addition toincreasing our young people’s interest inother cultures, studies show that learning aforeign language greatly benefits students’success in other core areas, such as math andcritical thinking. We should do everythingwe can to prepare and equip the next genera-tion of American workers with the skillsneeded to compete in the global economy,and that includes expanding opportunitiesto learn foreign languages.”

“In today’s global economy, K-12foreign language and cultural knowledgehave become necessary skills for gov-ernment, private-sector, and non-profitemployers,” said Congressman Price.“Federal incentives will help to ensurewe are providing these competencies andequipping the next generation of leaderswith the skills to communicate and col-

laborate across borders.”Early language learning has been shown

to strengthen performance across all aca-demic subjects and on standardized tests.The benefits of foreign language educationalso extend far beyond academics, as stu-dents who study a foreign language have anopenness and acceptance to people whospeak other languages and come from othercultures. However, only 25 percent of el-ementary schools in the United States offerany world language studies and only half ofall American high school students take evenone year of a world language.

Since 2012, there has been no federalsupport for world language instruction inelementary and secondary schools. TheWorld Language Advancement Act wouldfill in this gap and foster the language learn-ing pipeline by providing competitive grantsto states and local school districts to supportthe establishment, improvement, or expan-sion of innovative programs in languagelearning in grades K-12.

The bill is supported by some of theleading international education and foreignlanguage advocacy organizations, includ-ing the Joint National Committee for Lan-guages - National Council for Languagesand International Studies (JNCL-NCLIS)and the American Council on the Teachingof Foreign Languages (ACTFL).

A new report from the September 11thVictim Compensation Fund shows that 9/11 first responders and survivors in all 50states are eligible for compensation withthe program, which provides financial sup-port to those who suffer financial hardshipand severe health problems related to ex-posure to toxins at Ground Zero. With justover a quarter of claims resolved, the VCFhas approved 5,636 awards totaling morethan $1.3 billion. At that pace, the pro-gram will run out of money. Claim deter-minations could be cut by half or more,unless Congress extends and fully fundsthe program, according to Reps. CarolynB. Maloney (D-NY), Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) and Peter T. King (R-NY), whoauthored the James Zadroga 9/11 Healthand Compensation Act.

“Thousands of responders and survivorshave lost their health and suffered economic

hardship due to their injuries and the healthconditions they experienced in the after-math of 9/11,” Maloney, Nadler and Kingsaid in a joint statement. “The VCF is thereto make these heroes whole again, withfinancial support and compensation forhealth coverage related to toxin exposure atGround Zero. But the VCF can’t do thatunless Congress fully funds the programand extends it permanently. More than 100of our colleagues from across the countryhave stepped up to support our bipartisanlegislation. We have to get this done.”

As of June 30, 2015, VCF has received19,721 eligibility forms. The VCF has ap-proved 11,770 eligibility claims and made5,636 loss decisions, totaling$1,310,149,991. First responders accountfor 91 percent of the total loss amount.Individuals with cancer diagnoses accountfor 18 percent of the awards.

WOODSIDE YOUTH DRIVE TO NORTHERN BORDER

A NIGHT OF RECOGNITON!

by David Rosasco

In a week where multiple projects playedout across the entire Woodside communityduring a 6-day period beginning on Thurs-day, July 16 reaching its zenith on Tuesday,July 21, the physical exertion and emotionsof the youth was best explained by EdisonSalazar, entering the 12th grade at the CivicLeadership Academy,“this mission I thinkis setting a standard that others might havetrouble repeating, but they should at leasttry, shouldn’t they.”

The youth launched into their work onthe first day along 39 Avenue, focusingspecifically between 57 and 59 Streets, astubborn location for illegal dumping andincidental trash, and weed overgrowth alongthe LIRR and in the neighboring tree beds.

Friday, July 17 brought graffiti removalalong an elliptical line travelling east along39 Avenue again to Woodside Avenue near51 Street, then south onto Queens Boule-vard and 50 Street, then east along the northside of this road until 64 Street, eliminatingremaining graffiti.

The main event began Saturday, July18, as a gathering of your youth and the

missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christof Latter-day Saints pressed northward,reaching the junction of Northern Boule-vard and Broadway at 50 Street, complet-ing the repainting of the entire Woodsidesection of Broadway, and removing muchgraffiti in areas known to the youth fromvisits to the area days prior, which alsoincluded an initial cleanup under 61 Streetand Roosevelt Avenue before graffiti re-moval operations commenced.

Further graffiti removal operations oc-

curred Sunday, July 19 as the youth as-sembled based on the successes of the daybefore, pressing north along 61 Street to 34Avenue, then east along this road until 65Street, ignoring the heat and powering along,with tree care, weed removal and cleanupwork occurring mid-way on the southwestcorner of 60 Street and Broadway.

Operations rumbled westward along thesouth side of Queens Boulevard between 50and 58 Streets on both Monday, July 20 andTuesday, July 21, led by the brother and sister

tandem of Jeyson and Evelyn Gonzalez, re-storing all public fixtures along this side ofthe road, and removing all instances of graf-fiti in the observable area. Kevin Zhang,entering 9th grade at Stuyvesant High Schoolin the fall revealed more of his thinking, and,by extension, the view of all the youth, as towhat was being accomplished, “I would havejust been home doing the usual, nothing to do,but here, I’m doing something that is makinga difference. I look back and see what wefinished, and I can’t believe we did all that.”

On Friday night, June 26, Boy ScoutTroop and Pack 390 of Sunnyside/Woodside held their annual End-Of-YearAwards Recognition/Parents Night in theauditorium of their home at Saint TeresaRC Church. Well attended by parents andseveral community members, this ceremonywas different from the past few years in thatfor only the second or third time since theTroop restarted and the Pack was foundednine years ago was a formal cross overceremony held for the graduation ofWebelos Scouts to the Boy Scout Troop.After the opening ceremonies, includingthe reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance andan invocation by Deacon Roberto Abundo,the lights were dimmed and the “Cross-Over” Ceremony, as it is known, began.Two of the four eligible candidates, WebelosScouts and Arrow of Light recipients KazukiRusso and Elias Pinto-Mendoza, werepresent and looking very solemn. After thereciting of their accomplishments and rec-ognitions by Cubmaster Marvin Jeffcoatand Webelos Leader Anthony Tonns and awish of success by Pack Committee Chair-woman Nami Russo, the two boys were ledfrom the Pack side over the “Bridge ofScouting” by Den Chief Matthew Kusterato join the Boy Scout Troop. There theywere received by Scoutmaster EduardoAvila and Senior Patrol Leader HongyingHuang. The candidates then took part in theformal candle lighting ceremony wherethey were instructed in the points of theScout Oath and Law and made their prom-ise to be Good Scouts always. SPLHongying Huang and Scoutmaster Avilathen presented Kazuki and Elias with theirTroop 390 neckerchiefs and handbooksand the two boys were presented to andaccepted into their respective patrols.

After this celebration, several new Scoutsto the Troop were acknowledged includingRodney Quizhpilema, Damian Cajamarca,Issac Martinez and Christopher Melendezand participation patches for various eventsthe boys attended this Spring were givenout. Highlighted were the patches and re-presentation of the ribbons won at the An-nual Pathfinder District Camp-O-Ree(“Zombie Survival”) whose competition

overall was won by the Mighty MinotaurPatrol from Troop 390. Position Patcheswere bestowed upon Den Chief MatthewKustera, SPL Hongying Huang (taking overfrom Arturo Romero who has “aged out”and will join the adult leader ranks), PatrolLeader Christopher Peralta, and AssistantPatrol Leaders Ziad Wazihullah and EddieAvila Jr.. Assistant Scoutmaster Christo-pher Flores then presented Honor Guardpatches to a number of the boys and adultswho regularly participate in and are in greatdemand for community and scout-relatedhonor guards and flag ceremonies for vari-ous events. The Troop’s new CommitteeChairwoman Maritza Avila was acknowl-edged and introduced by Pack CommitteeChairwoman Nami Russo. The much an-ticipated awarding of the “Red Jacket” forthe Troop’s Scout-of-the-Year honoree wasthen made to Star Scout Christopher Peraltato great applause and revelry. Chris hadearlier been presented several merit badgesand awards completed during the GNYCweek long STEM Camp held in April.

The Troop had the honor of havingChristina Jean-Baptiste, District Executiveof the Lenape Bay District in Brooklyn andformer District Executive of PathfinderDistrict in Queens, in the audience who thenended the night with words of encourage-ment and praise for the boys and their lead-ers. It was learned later that Christinawould be moving on in her career andtaking a higher managerial and project lead-ership position with another non-profit or-ganization soon thereafter. The Troop wouldpersonally like to thank and acknowledgeall of the assistance and service Christinahas given Scouting and the Troop person-ally with her consummate professionalismover the last five years. With this, theceremony ended and a Pot Luck dinner washeld as plans for summer camp and theupcoming year were discussed. Althoughon break for the summer and preparing forsummer camp the Troop is not idle andother trips are being planned.
