SUMMARY:CLUB MEETING: PUBLIC FORUM ON ENERGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT
DESCRIPTION:NEXT GENERAL CLUB MEETING: THURSDAY JUNE 4\, 2015 at 7:30 PM \nPUBLIC FORUM: ENERGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT \nAre the Lights Going Out on New York?\n \nThis forum will shed light on New York State Energy and\nEnvironmental policy issues that have kept New Yorkers in the dark. \nGuest Speaker: Doug Lee\nComputer systems management professional. Frequent speaker on energy and environmental issues and outspoken advocate for farmers and rural communities in NYS. Former Republican State Assembly candidate. \nGuest Speaker: Maureen Koetz\nPrincipal Partner in Koetz and Duncan LLC. Environmental Counsel for the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. Environmental Policy Director for the Nuclear Energy Institute. Represented the nuclear industry at the Kyoto Climate Change Conference. Former Republican State Assembly candidate. \nGuest Speaker: Michael Benjamin\nWorks for ShareNY\, a pro-nuclear energy group. Public affairs consultant and contributing columnist to the NY Post\, City and State NY and others. Managing Editor\, The Bronx Chronicle. Former NYS Assemblymember. \nAdditional biographical information on our speakers can be found below. \nMEETING AT: Knights of Columbus – St. Anne’s Council\n263-15 Union Turnpike\, Glen Oaks\, NY 11004\n——————————————————————————– \nARE THE LIGHTS GOING OUT ON NEW YORK? \n \nWe rescheduled the May Club Meeting for June 4th\, but the agenda is the same. It’s a public forum on Energy and the Environment\, with the addition of one outstanding panelist\, Michael Benjamin\, a former guest speaker of ours. He’s an energy policy expert who works for a pro-nuclear energy group that opposes Governor Cuomo’s efforts to close down Indian Point Energy Center in Buchanan\, NY. \nThis forum will shed light on the environmental and political issues impacting energy development and will also address policy elements for Sustainable Republicans. There will be a question and answer session. All viewpoints are welcome to be aired on these controversial issues. \nNew York State has significant deposits of natural gas. Gas development would create jobs\, lower taxes and stimulate the economy for the entire state. While gas development using hydraulic fracturing has been proven to be safe\, special interest groups have succeeded in effecting a state-wide ban. Solar energy has been touted as a clean alternative to natural gas. Despite significant public subsidies\, the technology is barely producing the same amount of energy used in its own production\, while producing significant pollution as part of its manufacturing process. Oblivious to the increased pollution\, Albany is mandating massive conversion of the state’s power grid to renewables like solar\, at significant cost to tax payers. Cuomo’s fracking ban and push to shut down Indian Point will continue to drive up our electric bills\, kill off jobs\, businesses and economic recovery. \n——————————————————————————– \nDOUG LEE \nDoug Lee is a frequent speaker on energy and environmental issues. A nature lover\, Doug enjoys hiking in the Catskills and fishing on Long Island. He is for responsible development of the State’s rich natural resources with the dual goals of economic development and environmental conservation. He worked closely with government and academic institutions in New York and Pennsylvania to study the environmental impact of various energy sources. He lectured on energy matters at the Joint Landowners Coalition of NY\, and gave a seminar on solar energy pollution to the faculty and graduate students of Cornell University. He is an outspoken advocate for farmers and rural communities in the State\, and organized a 1\,000 person rally to defend landowner rights. A computer systems management professional\, Doug has a BS in biology and a MBA in Accounting. He also had his first attempt in politics last year running for the State Assembly as a Republican candidate in the 16th Assembly District in Northwestern Nassau. \n——————————————————————————–\nMAUREEN KOETZ \nMaureen T. Koetz is the Principal Partner in Koetz and Duncan LLC\, providing strategic advice and consultation on sustainability risk and value management using innovative and first-mover capabilities in risk analytics\, infrastructure asset management\, and green procurement. \nPrior to forming Koetz and Duncan\, Ms. Koetz served as a Presidential appointee as both the Acting Assistant Secretary\, and Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Installations\, Environment\, and Logistics of the United States Air Force\, managing a 10 million acre/$200 billion asset portfolio in support of sustainable operations for the largest energy consumer in the federal government. Her responsibilities included energy acquisition policy\, natural capital management\, energy efficiency (including maintenance policy)\, installation energy recovery\, and operational energy programming. Under her leadership\, the Air Force was the largest renewable energy purchaser in the nation. \nMs. Koetz has also held positions as Environmental Counsel for the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee\, and Counsel to U.S. Senator Pete Domenici\, covering issues such as electricity restructuring\, Department of Energy programming\, and federal capital extraction policy. As Environmental Policy Director for the Nuclear Energy Institute\, she developed the first analytic models for “Emissions Avoidance\,” the results of which have remained a key management and policy element supporting Nuclear: the Clean Air Energy. She has represented the nuclear industry at the Kyoto Climate Change Conference\, multiple other international conventions\, and the United Nations Council on Sustainable Development. \nMs. Koetz is an Adjunct Professor of Environmental Finance at NYU-Poly and a veteran of active duty service with the U.S. Navy\, as well as a published author in several areas related to sustainability\, and a frequent speaker on public and private enterprise sustainability\, including the key role of natural capital in sourcing energy. \nMs. Koetz has a Juris Doctor from the Washington College of Law at American University\, a Bachelor of Arts degree from the American University\, and is a member of the Bar of the State of New York.She is a former Republican State Assembly candidate runing in the 65th District in Lower Manhattan. \n———————————————————————————- \nMICHAEL BENJAMIN \nMichael Benjamin is a public affairs consultant and contributing columnist to the NY Post\, City and State NY and other publications.

SUMMARY:Protest to Stop the Neighborhood Prison
DESCRIPTION:CIVICS FIGHT JUVENILE DETENTION FACILITY IN QUEENS VILLAGE \nThe NYC Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) is planning to put a Limited-Secure Placement facility in a building on Jamaica Ave and 207th St. This is part of a program called “Close to Home\,” which seeks to house juvenile offenders in or near their communities\, instead of in detention centers upstate. \nAccording to the ACS\, a Limited-Secure Placement Facility would house some youth who have committed violent offenses\, such as robbery and assault. The most serious offenders would remain in state facilities. \nLocal civic leaders and residents have several objections. First\, most believe that this type of facility does not belong in or near a residential area. Also\, there has been limited outreach to the community. Finally\, ACS has not explained how they will prevent escapes from the facility.\nThe Queens Village Civic Association has scheduled a protest to be held at the location on Saturday\, June 6 at noon. They are seeking support from neighboring civics. Readers of the print newsletter will most likely not receive this in time to attend. More information will be provided at our June 8 meeting (Creedmore Civic Assoc.).
