Radiation from Cell Phones and
Wireless Devices Harms Your
Unborn Baby’s Brain Development
This Queens Times guest editorial must be read by all those
who are pregnant, this Medical Daily on Jun 3, 2014 from the
Electromagnetic Radiation Safety gives much food for thought
please read.
“I would never drink or smoke while pregnant!” Most expectant mothers understand that carrying a child means taking extra
safety measures to protect the growing life. Unfortunately, too
many mothers-to-be are not aware that, along with chemicals,
certain foods, and some beverages, they also need to avoid
radiation from phones, wireless routers, and laptop computers
in order to safeguard their babies.
“The science is compelling and growing and women have
an absolute right to know about it in order to make an informed
decision,” said Patricia Wood, executive director of Grassroots
Environmental Education, in her opening remarks during the
BabySafe News Conference on Tuesday. BabySafe, www.
babysafeproject.org, is a national campaign to raise awareness
about an issue too few pregnant women understand: that their
exposure to wireless radiation may interfere with their child’s
brain development, resulting in behavioral problems, including

Point Of View
symptoms resembling ADHD.
Though the BabySafe program is
new — with an online quiz, www.
babysafeproject.org, to help mothers understand exposure levels
— it echoes an old theme familiar
to pregnant women worldwide:
better safe than sorry.
Hyperactive Symptoms
“Don’t keep your phone on you
at all times,” advised Dr. Hugh
Taylor of Yale University School
of Medicine. “Move it away from
you. Keep exposure to a minimum.” Taylor, who is chair of the
department of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive sciences, is
author of a study on pregnancy,
cell phone radiation, and behavioral changes in mice, published in
Scientific Reports, http://www.nature.com, Because it is so difficult
to trace a specific environmental
influence on a developing fetus —
mothers are exposed to many potential influences so it is difficult
to determine the exact effects of
just one — he and his colleagues
designed a special animal study in
order to isolate cell phone use and
study its effects on babies before
they were born.
The experiment worked like
this: Taylor and his team of researchers exposed one group of
42 pregnant mice to a muted and
silenced phone that had been
turned on and was actively receiving a signal, and, to compare, they
also exposed a second group of 42
pregnant mice to a cell phone that
was turned off and not receiving
a signal. Otherwise, all environmental conditions, including
food and accommodation, were
identical. The pregnant mice
were exposed throughout their
entire pregnancies and then their
offspring were tested when adults.
What did Taylor and his colleagues observe? Compared to the
mice who had not been exposed to
cell phone radiation, the exposed
mice had decreased memory, more
likely to be hyper active, and, in
Taylor’s words, “didn’t have a care
in the world. They were very different from the mice who had not
been exposed.” He likened their
behavior to that of children with
attention deficit hyper-activity
disorder (ADHD or ADD), which
is a common and increasing diagnosis for young children. In fact,
the exposed mice had different
electrical activity in their brains.
On the positive side, Taylor said
very short exposures were similar
to no exposure, and the change in
brain activity generally increased
with higher levels of exposure. In
other words, by limiting her own
exposure to radiation, a mother
might effectively protect her unborn child.
Out-of-Date Standards
“Cell phones have never been
tested for safety,” said Dr. Devra
Davis, UC Berkeley and the author
of Disconnect, www.amazon.
com, which explores the issue of
radiation exposure. She explained
that though scientists performed
limited investigations into safety
when cell phones first came into
popular use, the standards were
established 18 years ago. She also
noted that cell phones had never
been tested in realistic ways, mim-
icking the habits of most people.
No one has assessed safety, for
instance, when a cell phone is held
directly against the ear or carried
in the breast pocket. Standards,
then, are not only dated but also
inaccurate.
“As someone who has been
working in the field of public
health… I’ve seen how America
discusses issues of public health
and safety,” Davis said. Generally, she explained, we insist on
proof of human harm and human
damage before we act and in the
end “people pay the price for those
delays.” Along with echoing Taylor’s advice, she suggested women
avoid cordless phones, especially
where they sleep.
“Eleven percent of children
carry a diagnosis of ADHD,” said
Dr. Maya Shetreat-Klein, integrative pediatric neurologist and
founder of Brainmending, www.
brainmending.com. She added
that currently, one out of every
five children has been diagnosed
with a mental illness. In her own
practice, she finds the most common question she is asked by
parents is: Why? Why is my child
affected? Though Shetreat-Klein
can give no real answer to parents
— disorders are complex and can’t
be explained by a single factor —
growing scientific evidence supports the conclusion that in utero
exposure is linked to behavioral
problems in children.
“Parents have a right to know,”
she said before advising pregnant
women to turn off their phones
and WiFi at night or whenever it’s
not needed.

Risks to Baby’s Brain Development From Wireless Radiation
National Awareness Campaign
Urges Pregnant Women To Take
Simple Steps to Reduce Baby’s
Exposure
Grassroots Environmental Education and Environmental Health
Trust, Jun 3, 2014
An international group of doctors
and scientific experts is joining
with non-profit organizations
today to urge pregnant women to
limit their exposure to wireless
radiation from cell phones and
other devices by taking simple
steps to protect themselves and
their unborn children. The national public awareness campaign,
called the BabySafe Project, is
being coordinated by Grassroots
Environmental Education and
Environmental Health Trust, and
is based on independent scientific
research linking exposure to wireless radiation from cell phones
during pregnancy to neurological and behavioral problems in
offspring that resemble Attention
Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
(ADHD) in children.
The BabySafe Project is promoting ten simple steps women can
take to limit their exposure to
wireless radiation:
1. Avoid carrying your cell phone
on your body (e.g. in a pocket or
bra).
2. Avoid holding any wireless
device against your body when
in use.
3. Use your cell phone on speaker
setting or with an “air tube”
(Continued from page 1)
headset.
4. Avoid using your wireless device in cars, trains or elevators.
5. Avoid cordless phones, especially where you sleep.
6. Whenever possible, connect
to the internet with wired cables.
7. When using Wi-Fi, connect only
to download, then disconnect and
disable Wi-Fi.
8. Avoid prolonged or direct exposure to nearby Wi-Fi routers.
9. Unplug your home Wi-Fi router
when not in use (e.g. at bedtime).
10. Sleep as far away from wireless utility meters (i.e. “smart”
meters) as possible.
“We believe all pregnant
women should be made aware of
this research on wireless radiation risks,” says Patricia Wood, a
Visiting Scholar at Adelphi University and Executive Director of
Grassroots Environmental Education. “More research is needed
to determine exactly how the
developing brain is affected, but in
the meantime, we certainly have
enough evidence of potential harm
to recommend taking simple,
common-sense precautions.”
“There’s essentially no downside to being cautious and protecting your baby,” says Dr. Hugh
Taylor, Chair of the Department
of Obstetrics, Gynecology and
Reproductive Sciences at Yale
University School of Medicine,
who recently authored a study
showing significant behavioral
changes in the offspring of mice
exposed to cell phone radiation
during pregnancy. “We have
demonstrated clear cause and effect relationships in mice, and we
already have studies showing that
women who use cell phones have
children with more behavioral
problems. I think together that’s
very powerful evidence.”
“As a public health expert, I
am deeply concerned about the
experiment we are conducting on
our pregnant women and young
children today,” says Dr. Devra
Lee Davis, author of numerous
books on wireless radiation and
human health, and founder of the
Environmental Health Trust. “We
cannot afford to treat this generation as experiments in a subject
with no controls. We’ve got to be
smarter. “
“Pregnant women deserve to
know that wireless radiation can
have an impact on the developing
brain,” says Dr. Maya ShetreatKlein, a pediatric neurologist
practicing in New York. “We’re
seeing alarming increases in the
number of children diagnosed
with neurological disorders over
the past decade, and anything
we can do that might help reduce
that rate should be taken very
seriously.”
Wireless radiation is part of a
growing list of environmental exposures thought to interfere with
normal fetal brain development,
with implications that include
impaired communication skills,
learning deficits and behavioral
problems.
“When you have an environmental exposure that disrupts
brain cell connections, a number
THE QUEENS TIMES
Council Member Crowley and NYC Sanitation Announce
Launch of Innovative Organic Collection Program in
Maspeth and Middle Village, Queens
Council Member Elizabeth
Crowley and New York City Department of Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia announced
an expansion of the City’s pilot
program to collect organic materials to Maspeth and Middle Village, Queens last Thursday, June
12. Food waste, food-soiled paper,
and leaf and yard waste will be
collected curbside, weekly, from
neighborhood residents starting
June 16, on recycling day. Organics recycling began in Glendale,
Queens on June 2.
This spring expansion includes
70,000 new households in Queens
and Brooklyn. The Department
already provides organics collection in areas of Manhattan, Staten
Island, the Bronx, and Brooklyn.
“Organic collection, or composting, is the next chapter in
creating a more sustainable future
for New York City,” said Council
Member Elizabeth Crowley. “I
am thrilled to see this innovative
program expanded into Queens,
and I strongly encourage Maspeth
and Middle Village residents to
enroll. I want to thank Sanitation
Commissioner Kathryn Garcia
for her leadership in reducing the
City’s waste.”
“Organic materials make up
about a third of our trash, and we
spend millions of dollars every
year to send it to out-of-state
landfills,” said Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia. “We
hope our Organic Collection
Program will not only reduce the
amount of waste sent to landfill,
but also create renewable energy
or compost, a natural fertilizer.”
How it Works
Single family homes and buildings with nine or fewer residential
units should have received a mailer introducing the program. The
week before service begins, homes
will receive a starter kit including
a brochure detailing the program,
a small kitchen container, and a
larger brown “outdoor” organics bin with wheels, a lid, and a
latch. Residents can put organic
waste from the home and yard in
the outdoor brown organics bin,
and leave it curbside on their collection day. Leaf and yard waste
that does not fit in the brown bin
can be collected in paper lawn &
leaf bags, unlined rigid containers,
bundled, or in clear plastic bags.
Any material set out in black bags
will be collected as garbage.
Residential buildings with 10
or more units are not automatically
included in the pilot, but are encouraged to enroll on a voluntary
basis by filling out the inquiry
form at www.nyc.gov/organics.
What is Organic Material?
Organic waste includes all
food scraps – such as vegetables
and fruits, prepared foods, meat,
bones, dairy, coffee and tea bags;
food-soiled paper – such as napkins, paper towels, and paper
plates; and yard waste – such as
leaves, grass clippings, and garden
trimmings. Certified-compostable
bags may be used, and can be
found online or at local retailers.
Items that are not organic and
cannot be composted should not
be placed in the brown bin. This
includes recyclables (metal, glass,
plastic, cartons) and trash, such as
plastic bags or foam packaging or
containers, plastic shopping bags;
containers of cooking grease or
fats; pet waste, hygiene or medical
items; and cleaning products.

organics recycling collection
program, visit www.nyc.gov/

Make Sure Your Family Has a Disaster Plan
By Jason Alderman
June 1 marked the beginning
of hurricane season. Meanwhile,
across much of the Western U.S.,
major droughts have greatly increased the danger for summer
wildfires. And don’t forget last
winter’s record-breaking winter
storms – or the ongoing potential
for earthquakes, tornados, floods
and other natural disasters.
Such catastrophic events are
inevitable, largely unpreventable
and often strike without warning.
Even though we can’t always
predict natural disasters, we can
anticipate their likely aftermaths,
including property loss, power
or water service disruption and
scarcity of food and supplies.
Sit down with your family
and develop a disaster plan. By
planning ahead and knowing
what you might need under dire
circumstances, you can save
yourselves a lot of time, money
and grief.
FEMA, the Federal Emergency Ma nagement Agency
(www.fema.gov), offers great
suggestions for developing a family emergency plan, building an
emergency supply kit, and learning what to do before, during and
after emergencies (everything
from home fires to terrorist attacks). They even provide an
emergency plan for family pets.
Here are some emergency-planning ideas you may not have
considered:
• Pick meeting spots both in and
outside your neighborhood where
your family can gather after an
emergency.
• Choose one person (possibly
out-of-town) everyone can contact for updates.
•
Make sure your kids know
how to escape the house in case
of fire.
• Identify and stock essential
items you’ll need to survive for
at least three days in case help is
unavailable. Include ample water
(at least a gallon per person, per
day), non-perishable food, and
medications. Don’t forget water,
food and supplies for pets.
• Stock an emergency kit with
batteries, flashlight, a batterypowered or hand-cranked radio, water-purification tablets,
clothes, blankets, can opener,
tools, toilet paper, moist towelettes, garbage bags, solar cellphone charger, etc.
• If a family member receives
life-sustaining treatments (e.g.,
dialysis), identify alternate treatment locations in case yours
becomes incapacitated.
•
Take a picture of yourself
with your pets in case you should
become separated.
• Safely store emergency cash in
case ATMs aren’t working.
Should disaster strike, you’ll
need access to financial and legal
records. Take these steps now to
ensure easier access when the
time comes:
•
Create a log of all account
numbers, emergency numbers,
contact information and passwords for your bank and credit
card accounts, loans, insurance
policies, utilities and other important accounts.
• Update it regularly and save
hardcopies in secure, offsite loca-
tions such as a safety deposit box
or with a trusted friend living in
another area.
•
You can also email the list
to yourself in an encr ypted,
password-protected file, save it
on a CD or USB drive, or use a
cloud-based storage service that
will let you access it from any
Internet connection.
•
Make PDF copies of tax
returns, insurance policies and
legal documents and save offsite, as above, in case your files
or computer are damaged. Also
make digital copies of invaluable
family photos, documents and
memorabilia that money can’t
replace.
If you ever need to file an
insurance claim or claim a tax
deduction for lost, stolen or
damaged property, it’ll be much
easier if you have an inventory
of everything you own – photos
or videos are even better. Try the
Insurance Information Institute’s
free, secure home inventory software application (www.iii.org).
Also, investigate what is and
isn’t covered by your insurance
policies for natural disasters. You
may need additional coverage for
damage associated with hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes and
other weather conditions.
Bottom line: Having a family
emergency plan in place could
lessen the blow should disaster
strike.

Once upon a time there lived
the Pine family that dwelled in
a big house. As the years went
by the offspring flew the coop
as Mary, and her husband Fran,
were left alone with their bichon
dogs, Max and Mandy. Across
the way was this 1870’s stone
farm house that Mary admired.
It sat on some acres of land and
had a pond.
Mary heard that the house was
up for sale and thought, “Why not
buy it and turn it into a bed and
breakfast?” Mary, having grown
up on a farm had some other ideas
as well. “The pond shall have
a duck, swan, and turtle. The
outside of our part of the home
shall have a waterfall that leads
into a koi pond. Fresh eggs are
best soon after the hen lays them,
so we shall have hens.” Fran was
okay with this but Mary wanted
more. She wanted to have some
pet alpacas.
Fran needed to come up with an
anniversary gift, so he agreed
on buying three alpacas. Due to
their being “pets” the fiber that
they produced would be of less
quality than ones used to make
clothing. That made Fran happy
regarding the cost.
Mary told her mommy about
this. The problem was that
her mommy was very sick and
staying in a nursing home. Her
mommy was saddened because
she felt that she would not live
long enough to see the alpacas.
In the meantime, Kevin and
Sue Zurin owned Eastland Al-
pacas at a not so far away place in
Mt. Joy. Kevin and Sue, hearing
the sad story said, “Let’s loan you
two alpacas so you can take them
to this nursing home.” Mary and
Fran placed the alpacas in the
back of an SUV. They sat down
comfortably and enjoyed the ride.
When they took it to the nursing home (even had them riding
the elevator), everyone was filled
with glee, especially Mar y’s
mommy.
Mary and Fran returned the
alpacas and after they purchased
and restored the new house, Fran
bought Wilson, Bryce and Freddy
(who will let you feed them).
The property was named
Airy View Bed and Breakfast,
located at 4596 Airy View Dr.
The house had two pretty and
comfortable rooms upstairs and
one downstairs, called the Lancaster Room, which overlooks
the waterfalls.
In case you want to fish, forget
the koi pond. The bigger pond is
stocked with bass and blue gill to
“catch and release”.
Merle and Laurie stayed overnight, listened to the tale and had
a delicious breakfast in the morning. www.airyviewbnb.com
“Wow, an alpaca farm”, said
Merle. “I wonder if I can pet
them”, (she has already held a
3-month-old lion cub in her arms
and cuddled up to a giraffe).
They then drove to the 30-acre
Eastland Alpacas where they
met Kevin and Sue at the “store”,
located at 2089 Risser Mill Rd.
The store had lots of clothing
such as sweaters, socks, gloves,
ear warmers and blankets. You
could even buy yarn. Sheep’s
wool might be warm but the fiber
from an alpaca is warmer and
weighs much less. “Oh, goody,”
said Merle, “I can wear these sox
with my sandals even when it’s 10
degrees out.”
Kevin and Sue took Merle
and Laurie on a tour where they
first stopped into the barn. There
were bails of straw, just some of
the alpacas, and a few young cats
who like to play with the furry
Huacaya alpacas. It seemed that
the alpacas had all recently gotten
a haircut around their cute tall
bodies (except from the neck up).
After putting these blue plastic
“slippers” over their shoes, Merle
and Laurie were taken out to see
the rest of the group. They were
all different colors, pretty and
docile. Feeding them was fun for
Merle especially when Katarina
came up to her. She was all white
with buck teeth on the bottom
(They later learned that alpacas
only have bottom teeth). Merle
and Katarina seemed to glace into
each other’s eyes as Merle faked
a kiss and they obviously fell in
love. But it was only a short term
romance.
With many more alpacas to
visit, Merle could not help but
take a photo of “Joe Cool”, with
his furry face and sunglasses.
It was an experience that Merle
will always treasure. www.eastlandalpacas.com

GETTING PUBLISHED
We recently signed a contract
with McGraw-Hill to re-release a
book that Jeff Slutsky and I wrote
back in 1996. The new book will
be titled “The Toastmasters International 21st Century Guide to
Successful Speaking.” The first
book was a huge success and sold
out, but Dearborn Publishing, who
released the previous book, is no
longer in business.
Along comes McGraw-Hill,
major publishers with major credentials. They feel the book easily
has the potential to top 100,000 in
sales, especially now with sales
running about 10 to 1 of electronic
versions. The earlier version did
not offer that option.
It is McGraw-Hill’s opinion that
foreign rights will fly off the shelf
for the new book. That’s a good
thing because the last book was
pirated word for character by the
Chinese. We never saw a dime
from that book and it would have
cost more to defend the copyright
than we could expect to recover.
By having a local publisher in
other countries, the advance is
generally minimal but that publisher will defend the copyright in
their respective domain, allowing
us to see some residuals from the
project.
Finding foreign publishers is one
of the major reasons for having a
big name publisher as opposed to
self publishing, a trend that has
grown stronger in recent years.
With on-demand publishing the
order of the day, a writer can
publish as little as one book and
minimize their overhead.
The downside… no advances for
writing the book and practically no
ability to get it translated into other
languages, unless you’ve enjoyed
previous experience in that arena.
My seventh book, published
by John Wiley & Sons, was titled
“It’s the Customer, Stupid!” It
was picked up in Portuguese and
in Russian. John Wiley & Sons
are major international publishers
with most of their credits in the
educational arena. Most college
text books and e-books bear their
name. Their contacts got me into
international markets.
Several years ago they ventured
into the business book arena,
and they used an unconventional
approach to finding titles and au(Continued on page 9)

New Group Takes Shape in Corona Plaza
Recently commercial stakeholders of Corona Plaza came together
to discuss new ideas and concepts
to improve quality of life issues.
Discussed was a variety of topics including the planned 2015
plaza renovation project and how
that will impact the area, promo
events to drive new business, lack
of access for deliveries and best
practices to enhance the landscape
and experience in the plaza. After
considerable discussion, the group
unanimously decided to create a
new organization named Friends
of Corona Plaza. The purpose
of the new organization will be
to unify all commercial tenants
together as one in pursuit of a
thriving Corona Plaza. The new
group then chose to elect Edgar
Gutierrez of Walgreen’s as their
president, Followed by Pastor
Victor Tiburcio of Aliento de
Vida Church as vice president and
Diego Ratzlaff of Procare Health
& Wellness as secretary.
Future plans for the group
include supporting the new BID
expansion coming to Corona and
hosting a forum with the Department of Transportation to plan
next year’s construction in Corona
Plaza. The next meeting is being
planned for July.
Legislation Sponsored By Senator
Addabbo And Assemblyman Goldfeder
To Extend Rebuilding Aid For Breezy
Point Residents Passes Legislature
State Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. and Assemblyman Phil
Goldfeder announced unanimous
passage of the Breezy Point bill
(S.7270/A.8896) which would extend the law for a second year. The
bill, drafted in part with members
of the Breezy Point Cooperative
during the aftermath of Sandy,
would reinstate building permits
and waive certain Building Standards and Appeals requirements
unique to the Breezy Point to allow homeowners to rebuild more
quickly and efficiently.
“Almost two years after Hurricane Sandy made landfall, many
of my Breezy Point constituents
are still attempting to rebuild
their lives and their homes in the
community they love,” Addabbo
said. “While the storm wreaked
havoc and devastation throughout
my Senate district and elsewhere,
this neighborhood was battered
beyond imagination. With the passage of the extender legislation, we
are helping the people of Breezy
Point to go forward and succeed in
the ‘new normal’ that is the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. This is
a tight-knit, resilient community
that was badly battered with losses
from the September 11th terrorist
attacks, from the crash of American Airlines Flight 587, and then
from Hurricane Sandy. Assemblyman Goldfeder and I look forward
to having the Governor sign our
bill into law and offer new hope
and assistance for the people of
Breezy Point.”
“This is another tremendous
step in the recovery process for
the families of Breezy Point,” said
Assemblyman Phil Goldfeder.

severely damaged by Hurricane
Sandy and I was not going to
allow some archaic rules stand
in the way of the rebuilding and
recovery of Breezy Point.
The
BSA process is a formality that
our families cannot afford and
should not have to worry about. I
am urging the Governor to sign it
immediately.”
During Sandy, Breezy Point homeowners had their homes badly
damaged or completely destroyed
by the storm – whether through
f looding, fire or a devastating
combination. Five hundred homes
were damaged or no longer exist in
Breezy, including the 126 homes
that fell prey to the six-alarm fire
that swept through this small community in the middle of the storm,
noted Addabbo and Goldfeder.
“Extension of the bill to eliminate the need to file with BSA
will be valuable in assisting the
hundreds of homeowners in our
Breezy Point communities who
are still working to rebuild their
homes,” said Arthur Lighthall,
general manager of the Breezy
Point Cooperative. “We are grateful for the assistance from Assemblyman Goldfeder and Senator
Addabbo for their continued support and urge Governor Cuomo to
sign the bill immediately.”
This legislation will extend an
existing law passed in 2013 for an
additional year by reinstating existing building permits for homes
destroyed in Hurricane Sandy as
well as waiving City Building
Standards and Appeals requirements for street frontage issues
that are specific to the Breezy
Point neighborhood.
The bill was initially introduced
to the legislature last year and
passed unanimously. It now awaits
approval from the Governor.

Meng: SBA to Improve Services to Queens Small Businesses
Changes come after Congresswoman’s subcommittee held field
hearing in the borough to probe
agency’s lack of outreach to area
entrepreneurs
U.S. Rep. Grace Meng (DQueens) has announced that the
Small Business Administration
(SBA) will improve certain services in the wake of the recent
Congressional field hearing in
Queens, which probed the agency’s poor outreach to local small
businesses.
The hearing, held at Queens College by the House Small Business
Subcommittee on Contracting and
Workforce this past March, examined why emerging businesses,
startups and minority small-business owners in Queens struggle
to use federal programs that they
are entitled to utilize. Meng, who
helped arrange the hearing, serves
as the panel’s Ranking Member.
The changes that the SBA will
be implementing are intended
to expand access to SBA loans
for underserved small-business
owners. The difficulty of receiving such loans was among the
complaints from witnesses who
testified at the hearing. The improvements include:
• Making it easier for small businesses to apply and be approved
for SBA-backed loans
Starting on July 1, banks that
grant SBA loans of $350,000 or
less will no longer be required
to assess an entrepreneur’s cash
flow or debt-service coverage.
The SBA expects the move to
simplify the lending process by
reducing paperwork and speeding
up the amount of time it takes to
process loans.
• Combining personal and business credit scores for SBA loans
This new policy, also effective July 1, will make it easier
for entrepreneurs to qualify for
SBA-backed loans. Often, smallbusiness owners are rejected for
loans if their personal scores are
low, even if the credit rating for
their businesses are high. By
evaluating the creditworthiness
of their businesses rather than just
their personal bills, more loans
will flow into the hands of deserving entrepreneurs.
• New electronic lending platform
to make loan processing simpler
Next year, the SBA will launch
SBA One, a user-friendly electronic lending platform for processing
loans. SBA One will automate the
uploading of documents and the
generation of forms. It will also
allow for electronic signatures and
data management.
“I am extremely pleased that
the SBA is addressing some of
the problems raised during our
recent Congressional field hearing
in Queens,” said Meng. “While
there is still much more that the
SBA can do, these changes are
positive steps that will improve
and increase access to capital
for Queens small businesses. I
thank the SBA’s new Administrator Maria Contreras-Sweet for
understanding the frustrations
expressed at our hearing, and I
look forward to more fixes in the
near future. The SBA is a critical
resource for small businesses, and
it’s imperative that small-business
owners in the borough be able to
take full advantage of the valuable
services that the agency offers.”
Maria Contreras-Sweet became
the head of the SBA in April.

Eagles Go One For Two
Icahn Stadium in Randalls
Island was packed with a
large crowd of track and

the sport who cheered on
the athletes, including the
high jumpers, who put on
quite a show and finished
in a tie for first place.
The occasion marked the
staging of the IAAF Diamond League meet consisting of girls, boys, men and
women athletes and on the
club, high school, and professional and open levels.
One of the events on the
all day program starting
at 11:45 a.m. was the 4 x
400 meter relay for the
youth girls competing in
the women’s portion of the
meet. The two relay events
didn’t attract as much attention from the fans as
the men did during the
open portion of the meet,
especially the running and
field events.
The Metro Eagles located
in south Jamaica were well
represented as they entered
two teams in the 4 x 400
meter relays-one for boys
and one for girls. They
placed high in both events.
The girls comprised of
Iantha Wright, of Jamaica,
Okoro Akio of St. Albans,
Seerna Smalls of St. Albans, and Tantranni Martinez of St. Albans, captured
the 4 x 400 or 1600 meter
relay in a time of 4:10.16 in
a field of eight teams.
“It’s hard and fun to run
in a race like this,” said
Smalls, after the event.
“Last year I couldn’t run
here because I was injured.
But this year (last Saturday) I made it and I ran
my fastest.

Chris Saistian of Cambria
Heights, and Elijah Simmonds of St. Albans finished second to winner
Medgar Evers in a time of

clocked in 3:51.86.
Metro Eagles teams are
coached by James Wilkerson, who started the squads
.30 years ago, and Rhonda

“We have a lot of talent

thors. Publishers never contact an author to ask them
to write a book, but that’s
exactly what happened with
“It’s the Customer, Stupid!”
I remember getting the
call on a Friday afternoon
from Richard Narramore
who represented Wiley &
Sons. He asked me outright
if I wanted to write this new
book for them and I did what
any reasonable guy would
do… I hung up on the joker
thinking it was one of my
speaking buddies pulling a
prank on me.
He calls back and again
and gave me his number.
“Please call me back.” Realizing how badly I screwed
up, I phoned him right back
and point-blank asked him
why he had selected me.
“We know you speak on
customer service because
we’ve checked all our sources (agents, bureaus, former
clients, internet searches
and others) and your name
keeps popping up,” he said.
“We know you won the
World Championship of
Public Speaking for Toastmasters International. We
know you have earned a
Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation
from the National Speakers
Association. We know that
you have been chosen as
a member of the Speakers
Hall of Fame (CPAE Speakers Hall of Fame) for NSA.
We know you were awarded
the George Morrissey Lifetime Achievement Award
for NSA-Central Florida.
We know you and Zig Ziglar were just awarded the
Legends of the Speaking
Profession award by the
Veteran Speakers Retreat.
But we could care less about
all of that!”
Stunned at his response,
I asked “Those were about
the only noteworthy things
on my otherwise worthless
resume.” He went on “We
also found out that you are
in the insurance business
and that you’ve represented
the same company for the
past 40 years. That’s why
we chose you!”
I thought I missed something, but he went on.
“We’re sick and tired of hiring authors to write books
about things they’ve never
done. You’ve lived your
message for 40 years, and
that’s what we want you to
write about. We don’t need
another book report by an
author.”
Fair enough. He went
on, “Unless you can come
up with a better title for the
book, we’ve chosen ‘It’s the
Customer, Stupid!’”
I offered “Have I Gotta
Beg to Buy?” which was the
title to my customer service
speech, but even I had to
agree their title was better.
And that’s how it happened.

NYC PUBLIC SCHOOL PRINCIPALS AND
ADMINISTRATORS ENDORSE JOHN LIU
The Union of 12,500
School Principals and Administrators Cite Progressive Democrat John Liu’s
Proven Track Record Of
Fighting For Better, Safer
Public Schools
CSA joins Working Families Party, New York Hotel
Trades Council, CWA Local 1180, and UFCW Local
1500 in strongly supporting
John Liu for State Senate
QUEENS – The Council
of School Supervisors and
Administrators, the union
of 12,500 active and retired
New York City public school
principals and administrators, announced their
support for Democrat John
Liu’s campaign to bring progressive values to the State
Senate. The Union cited
Liu’s track record as City
Councilmember and New
York City Comptroller of
consistently advocating for
improvements to the City’s
public schools.
“The Republicans and
their allies in the Senate continue to allow New York’s
children to fall behind in an
underfunded public school
system. New Yorkers need
a leader with the knowhow
and coalition building ex-
perience to craft solutions
that make our schools better and safer. John Liu is
that leader,” said Council
of School Supervisors and
Administrators President
Ernest Logan. “As a City
Councilmember and New
York City Comptroller, John
Liu made quality education
a top priority. From his
early support of pre-K for
all of New York’s children
to his innovative higher
education program Beyond
High School that aims to
boost college enrollment,
John Liu’s comprehensive
knowledge of our education
system and his relentless
efforts to innovate and improve schools makes him the
clear choice for District 11’s
next Democratic Senator.”
“As a product of New York
City public schools and the
parent of a public school
student, I greatly value the
dedicated principals and
school administrators who
work day in and day out to
improve the lives of New
York’s children. That’s why
it’s such a great honor to earn
the support of CSA,” said
Democrat John Liu. “The
education policies of the
Senate status quo are hold-
ing our kids back. When I
get to Albany, I’ll work with
partners like CSA to relentlessly pursue reforms that
will make our schools better
for students, parents, teachers, and administrators.”
The CSA endorsement
follows a week in which
the surging Liu campaign
was endorsed by the nation’s largest online progressive community Daily Kos,
14,000-member public sector union CWA Local 1180,
the Queens County Young
Democrats, and New York’s
progressive grassroots political party Working Families
Party. The latter earns Liu
the support of the party’s
formidable activist base, as
well as the WFP line on the
November general election
ballot. The Liu campaign
has been endorsed by numerous major New York
City labor unions, including UFCW Local 1500,
which represents 23,000
grocery store workers; the
New York City Coalition of
Operating Engineers, which
represents 18,000 crane and
heavy equipment operators
Locals 14 and 15; stationary
engineers Locals 30 and 94;
school custodians Local 891;
and New York City building inspectors Local 211.
Liu also earned the coveted
endorsement of the New
York Hotel and Motel Trades
Council, AFL-CIO (HTC)
that boasts 50,000-plus
workers and retirees, and is
known for its highly sophisticated political operation.
In addition to labor support,
John Liu’s campaign has
also received endorsements
from tenants’ rights group
Tenants PAC and grassroots activist organization
New York Communities for
Change.
The Council of School
Supervisors and Administrators is the collective bargaining unit for 6,100 Principals, Assistant Principals,
Supervisors and Education
Administrators who work
in the NYC public schools
and 200 Directors and Assistant Directors who work
in city-subsidized Centers
for Early Childhood Education (ECE). CSA also has
nearly 6,400 retired school
supervisors in its Retiree
Chapter as well as more than
3,300 of their spouses and
domestic partners. Another
112 retired ECEs have joined
as well.
Meng: SBA to Improve Services to Queens Small Businesses
Meng spoke with her last
month about implementing
improvements.
The SBA’s changes will
also benefit local banks,
since the improvements will
make it easier for financial
institutions to underwrite
SBA loans. Meng plans to
sponsor a presentation on
the changes this summer so
that area banks can write
more loans for borough
entrepreneurs. The event,
which is still in the planning
stages, is expected to take
place in Queens and include
officials from local banks
and the SBA.
The Congressional field
hea r i ng, “Underser ved
Small Businesses: Providing Access to Federal Programs,” was attended by
Meng, the Subcommittee’s
Chairman Richard Han-
na (R-Utica), Rep. Yvette
Clarke (D-Brooklyn) and
the Small Business Committee’s Ranking Member
Nydia Velazquez (D-Brooklyn/Queens/Manhattan).
Several witnesses testified
including Michele Chang,
the SBA’s Acting Chief of
Staff and the number two
person at the agency.
The SBA was created
by Congress in 1953 as an
independent agency of the
federal government to aid,
counsel, assist and protect
the interests of small businesses. The agency offers
many programs for individuals to start and run a small
business. These SBA services include loans, grants,
business plan-development,
business counseling, assistance with tax-exemptions,
help with obtaining government contracts, and many
other programs.
Rozic Honors New York’s Women Veterans
Passes Resolution to Recognize Their Sacrifices and
Contributions
Assemblywoman Nily
Rozic (D,WF-Fresh Meadows) helped pass a resolution declaring June 12 as
“Women Veterans Recognition Day” in the state of
New York (K.1343). The
designation coincides with
the 66th anniversary of the
Women’s Armed Services
Act of 1948.
“By passing this resolution, we are recognizing
the sacrifices our servicewomen have made throughout the years,” said Assem-
blywoman Rozic. “These
women put their lives on
the line and their courage
and dedication should be
honored.”
As of 2011, women made
up nearly 15 percent of
our active duty military,
and nearly 17 percent of
the officers across the four
military branches are women. In January 2013, the
military lifted the policy
against women in combat
roles, turning a page in
our history. And, in April
2013, the United States
Department of Veterans
Affairs launched a new
hotline geared toward assisting women veterans,
their families and caretakers (1-855-VA-WOMEN).
“A huge debt of gratitude
is owed to our servicewomen. This Women Veterans
Recognition Day, join me in
thanking our Queens women veterans for their selfless
dedication to protecting our
nation,” Rozic added.
Assemblywoman Rozic
has been working to make
the transition back into
civilian life as smooth as
possible for New York’s
veterans. Earlier this year,
she supported the ServiceDisabled Veteran-Owned
Business Act, which sets a
6 percent participation goal
in the awarding of state con-
tracts to service-disabled
veteran-owned small businesses – the highest such
goal in the nation (Ch. 22
of 2014).
Rozic has drafted and
passed legislation (A7259B)
in the State Assembly that
would require the New York
State Division of Veterans’
Affairs to conduct a study
on homeless women veterans and produce recommendations and solutions to
benefit those suffering. The
study would also include
cases of military sexual
trauma (MST) experienced
by homeless veterans while
on active duty or during
military training.

Meng Meets With Barbra Streisand
U.S. Rep. Grace Meng (DQueens) met with actress/singer
Barbra Streisand to discuss increased funding, research and
awareness for women’s heart
disease, the number one killer of
females.
Meng met with Streisand yesterday on Capitol Hill as part of a
meeting the performer held with
the bipartisan House Women’s
Caucus.
Streisand, who was born and
raised in Brooklyn, is an advocate
for the prevention and treatment of
heart disease in women. In 2012,
she founded the Barbra Streisand
Women’s Heart Center in Los
Angeles.
“Heart disease is the number
one killer of women, killing
more women than all cancers
combined,” said Streisand. “Since
1984, more women than men have
died every year from heart disease. It’s time for more funding,
more research, and more attention
for women’s heart disease.”
A woman dies every minute
from heart disease, and women
do not usually feel heart attacks
via chest pain like men do.
“I completely agree with agree
with Barbra Streisand on this important issue,” said Meng. “More
research and awareness must be a
priority. I thank her for pressing
her case with us in Washington.”
