Aaron Woolf makes media rounds

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Democratic congressional candidate Aaron Woolf said it was an “enormous release” to finally go public with his campaign. Ò I have felt the impatience from the press and you have probably known it,Ó he told the Valley News during a phone interview on Wednesday, March 12. “But I strongly felt it was my first obligation to talk to the people in a direct way.Ó Woolf, who has remained silent until this point after his selection by Democratic committee chairs on Feb. 12, said he has been meeting with chambers of commerce, business leaders, hospitals, farmers and labor groups across the, Ò staggeringly big piece of territory,Ó that is the NY-21 Congressional District, and the visits have helped him to understand the regionÕ s shared interests and what he feels are important issues facing the district that spans roughly 16,000-square miles. Ò More importantly, to listen,Ó he said.

Economy

www.valleynewsadk.com

Jobs and infrastructure were two of WoolfÕ s main concerns during this “first round” of voter connections, he said. Ò Infrastructure is one of my big things. You canÕ t develop that without broadband and cell towers everywhere.Ó What really impressed Woolf, he said, was the economic diversity of the region. He cited small-scale manufacturing operations across the district, bedroom communities in Glens Falls, military facilities in Jefferson County and agriculture in the Essex County and Champlain Valley regions.

WoolfÕ s concern visiting all these businesses was the same: jobs, an

issue that he frequently revisited in the half-hour discussion and one he hopes will change the narrative of his campaign. Ò How are we going to keep young people in the district and grow jobs?Ó he said. Ò Everything else pales to that.Ó Woolf said if the North Country doesnÕ t have access to welltrained and highly skilled workers, it will be impossible to compete with other regions and young people will continue to leave to find work elsewhere. Ò Ninety-six percent of kids between the ages of 0-3 who live below the poverty line are not seeing social workers. That has incredible payoff for their outcomes and there has to be an emphasis on that,Ó he said. Ò We need to discuss how weÕ re going to lay the groundwork of the next chapter of North Country economy.Ó Asked about outgoing Rep. Bill OwenÕ s assertion in a town hall last month about the Ò 2,500 to 3,000Ó jobs in the region that are going unfilled due to a lack of trained professionals, Woolf cited visits to biofuel, agricultural and forestry centers, calling them Ò promising job areas weÕ re so proud of,Ó and noting that the districtÕ s traditional economic strengths are being repurposed, citing a medical device facility in Warren County and ambitious young farmers in Essex County and Champlain Valley to produce value-added products.

Woolf said the regionÕ s agricultural community has different needs and infrastructure and he will focus on exploring options to create Ò win-win-winÓ situations, like a farm-to-school push. Ò WeÕ ve got to bring healthy and fresh food to these kids,Ó he said, citing nutrition plays a large role in attention spans and thriving in school.

Woolf said farmers went dependability and money generated would be kept in the community Ñ Ò not sent to Indiana for frozen chicken fingers.”

Military, health care

Ò Everybody has a story and every one of them is important. Most stories you hear about government or a positive and negative one Ñ I hope I can add to the positive.Ó While he still needs learn more about the ongoing North Country Redesign Commission that will decide the fate of health care in the region, Woolf said health care was an important concern, citing he was Ò deeply impressedÓ with the Samaritan Hospital in Watertown and the facilityÕ s cutting-edge technology and integration with the military through its relationship with nearby Fort Drum.

Woolf, citing his father’s veteran status, would “fight” for Fort Drum to stay open as Defense Secretary Chuck HagelÕ s proposal to reduce forces continue to ripple throughout the country.

Referring back to the importance of community integration and sustainability, Woolf said he had fond memories of emulating the 10th Mountain Division as a kid. Ò They were the cool guys,Ó he said.

Woolf said the 10th Mountain Division is the type of rapid-re-

March 22, 2014

sponse military the country is trending toward.

Community involvement

Woolf discussed his involvement in last summerÕ s non-partisan Ò Go Digital or Go DarkÓ campaign that sought to keep local movie theaters open by raising funds for the technology necessary to make the conversion to digital. Ò These arenÕ t just theaters, but also community anchors,Ó he said, emphasizing the importance of healthy and sustainable communities,Ó he said. Ò I used to carry around a postcard of Elizabethtown from the 1930s,Ó he said. Ò I always wanted to know where the Oak trees went.

But the thing that really struck me was that the sidewalks were full of people. I think thereÕ s a great value when those Main Streets were thriving and thatÕ s hard to put a number on.Ó Woolf, who owns a residence in Elizabethtown, said while big box stores have Ò great value,Ó the community has Ò great potentialÓ on a human scale to increase efforts to continue to make communities like Elizabethtown walkable. Ò The stakes are very high and we need to be thinking about how the rural economy is going to work in the twenty-first century.”

Decision to run

Woolf said the decision to run for office stemmed from his filmmaking.

“My films have taken me all around focusing on stories that focus on the human impact of government. Very small details can often make the difference between poverty and living wage Ñ like minor arcane details in the 900-page Farm Bill, for example,Ó he said. Ò IÕ ve seen what policy can do and I want to be a part of making good policies.Ó Woolf said Owens has been Ò incredibly thoughtful and wonderful with me and advising meÓ and repeatedly asked him if he was prepared to take on the task. Ò The way you do things, you have to do well: inclusive, not exclusive Ñ you have to reach across the aisle,Ó said Woolf on OwensÕ advice. Ò This is an era in which Washington has appalled a lot of good people who have decided not to run or are retiring. The level of dysfunction has the power to take away the good things Ñ letÕ s send people who aren’t political operatives, who run repeatedly for office, and use the systemÕ s natural ability to refresh itself.Ó While the Valley News didnÕ t have a chance to discuss gun rights with the candidate, he told other news outlets, including the Glens Falls Post-Star, that he supports the Second Amendment and has a, Ò freezer full of venison.Ó Woolf now faces a possible Democratic primary with last weekÕ s announcement by Stephen Burke, a Macomb Town Council member and former St. Lawrence County Democratic Chairman, that he intends on entering the race.

Local nonprofits to commemorate World TB Day SARANAC LAKE Ñ World TB Day, falling on March 24th each year, is designed to build public awareness that tuberculosis remains an epidemic in much of the world, causing the deaths of several million people each year, mostly in developing countries.

Two Saranac Lake nonprofits, Historic Saranac Lake and the Trudeau Institute, are busy with joint projects that tie into World TB Day, which commemorates the date in 1882 when German physician Robert Koch astounded the scientific community by announcing that he had discovered the cause of tuberculosis, the TB bacillus.

The antibiotic treatment for tuberculosis was perfected in the 1950s, effectively ending the Ò TB eraÓ in Saranac Lake. The disease, however, is far from eradicated.

According to the Stop TB Partnership: • One-third of the world’s population

is infected with tuberculosis (TB) bacteria.

• Nine million people become ill with TB each year and more than a million and a half people die. In a single day, TB causes the equivalent in lives lost of 15 jetliner crashes.

• TB is the number three cause of death among women of childbearing age and the number four cause of death among women of all ages. More than half a million women die of TB each year.

• Half a million children become ill with TB year. There are 10 million children worldwide who had been orphaned because a parent died of TB. • People with weakened immune systems have a much greater risk of falling ill from TB; a person living with HIV is about 20 to 30 times more likely to develop active TB. Tuberculosis and World TB Day continue to resonate in Saranac Lake, which

was founded in the 19th century as a health resort for those suffering from the disease. TB has long shaped the townÕ s identity, beginning with the pioneering medical and scientific work of Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau and continuing today in the Trudeau Institute laboratory of Dr. Andrea Cooper, who will be among the presenters at the venerable New York Academy of SciencesÕ World TB Day Symposium: Countdown to 2015, which will take place in New York City on March 24.

As TB Day approaches this year, Historic Saranac Lake (which operates a museum in Dr. TrudeauÕ s former laboratory on Church Street, established as the first in the United States for the study of tuberculosis) and the Trudeau Institute are combining their efforts to assist with two important projects that will bring attention to the story of TB in the Adirondacks and ongoing efforts to combat it.

SLCS

Continued from page 1 Tickets are $10 for Adults and $7 for Students. For more information, call the SLHS Music Office, 897-1473.

To chase his blues away, a modern day musical theatre addict known simply as, Ò Man in Chair,Ó drops the needle on his favorite LP Ð the 1928 musical comedy The Drowsy Chaperone. From the crackle of his hi-fi, the uproariously funny musical magically bursts to life on stage, telling the tale of a pampered Broadway starlet who wants to give up show business to get married, her producer who sets out to sabotage the nuptials, her chaperone, the debonair groom, the dizzy chorine, the Latin lover and a pair of gangsters who double as pastry chefs. Man in ChairÕ s infectious love of The Drowsy Chaperone speaks to anyone who has ever been transported by the theater.

The cast consists of 39 talented Saranac Lake High School student performers: Selena Baillargeon, Jeremiah Barge, Natalina Bevilacqua, Autumn Buerkett, Michael Cross, Peter Curtis, Cameron Czadzeck, Emily DeLancett, Caroline Dodd, Elsa Evans Kummer, Gina Fiorile, Rachel Fortier, Corinne Gambicurta, Will Gray, Louisa Hameline, Justina Hewitt, Ivy Huber, Olivia Hunt, Matthew Keating, Pavel Khavlyuk, Abbi Kirollos, Laura Kleist, Kaitlin Lawless, Elodie Linck, Anna Mader, Jack Martin, Sam Martin, Erin McNulty, Ellen Miner, Michael Monroe, Chas Morgan, Ryan Murray, Maeve Peer, Dominique Santiago, Alivia Sapone, Silas Swanson, Witter Swanson, Sasha Van Cott and CJ Williams. SLHS Musical theatre is also very pleased to welcome Pendragon theatreÕ s Kent Streed to the cast as Ò The Man in the Chair.Ó

Affordable? Health Care Act

B

ig changes are coming to health care in 2014. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will soon affect all of us. Signed into law by President Obama on March 23, 2010, the ActÕ s open enrollment ends on March 31.

The Supreme Court controversially upheld the law on June 28, 2012.

Much of the population feels that the law is unconstitutional. Can the government really force people to buy health care? Apparently, yes.

One might think that health care is universally important to everyone, but thatÕ s not always the case.

Many young, healthy individuals donÕ t believe itÕ s necessary because they are, in fact, in good health. For them, the cost can outweigh the benefits.

One trip to an emergency room, even for something minor, may change their opinion. Today the average emergency room visit costs more than $1,200 Ñ 40 percent more than the average monthÕ s rent in the nation. A doctor’s visit is only a fraction of that cost but getting into a doctor’s office in a timely manner is rare.

Although the country is still divided on Obamacare, the increase in enrollment continues due to an enrollment deadline and fine of the higher amount of $95 per adult per year, or one percent of your taxable income, for not signing up by March 31.

There are exemptions to this policy, but the law was designed to force young, healthy people to buy insurance. Obamacare has made some important movements toward an improvement in AmericaÕ s health care. Allowing individuals to stay on their parentÕ s insurance until theyÕ re 26 has been a huge advantage to young people considering the current state of the economy.

A major part of the story is that Obamacare will allow people to get health care outside of the workplace. All Americans will benefit from the new rights and protections, like guaranteed coverage of pre-existing conditions and the elimination of gender discrimination.

However, the positive steps making health care more successful have also been marred by missteps and false promises.

One of the key promises the president made that would allow individuals to keep their current policies if they were satisfied with them was pulled out, only to have it put back in place for a temporary two-year period as a political ploy to aid Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections.

The U.S. government recently announced that 4.2 million Americans have enrolled in private health care plans since Oct. 1 under the new law. Even if a flood of Americans sign up over the next month, that number is unlikely to reach seven million, which was the original estimate for how many people would get insurance during the first year of Obamacare.

Of that number, itÕ s unknown as to how many of those people are newly-insured or were already insured.

Two percent of firms in the U.S. have more than 50 full-time employees and will have to choose to insure full-time workers or pay a fine. To avoid this, some businesses are cutting employees, further weakening the economy.

The Congressional Budget Office alleges the law will cut full-time employment by 2 million people, although a percentage of this loss is likely to be from individuals walking away from the job they had simply to get insurance in the first place.

An argument made from both sides was that the law is a hand-out to insurance companies.

Companies that already get fat on residents of this nation.

Health insurance companies stand to make billions, despite a loss on profit per plan, since they will be insuring millions of new Americans.

That said, the new law does require insurance companies to spend at least 80 percent of premiums on healthcare and less than 20 percent on advertising, overhead, and CEO salaries or provide customer rebates.

Unfortunately, thereÕ s no crystal ball to perfectly predict the long-term impact of Obamacare.

Although many reforms are needed for this law, it seems the most important one should be to make it less expensive and less burdensome to obtain insurance for those who donÕ t qualify for subsidies. Allowing broader plan design, lower actuarial values, and fewer minimum benefits is a good place to start. Sadly, the majority of this law focuses on making sure people are covered instead of addressing the cost of care in the first place. Ñ

U.S. Army Jazz Ambassadors band to perform in Port Henry

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com PORT HENRY Ñ A world-class jazz band is coming to Port Henry.

The U.S. Army Jazz Ambassadors will perform at Moriah Central School Saturday, March 29, at 7 p.m. ItÕ s a fee concert, but people must have tickets. Tickets are available by calling the school at 546-3301 ext. 405 or sending a self addressed and stamped envelope to Matthew Pray, Moriah Central School, 39 Viking Lane, Port Henry 12974.

The U.S. Army Jazz Ambassadors are coming at the invitation of Pray, a Moriah music teacher. Ò In 2010 we held two concerts that were a tremendous success in our community,Ó Pray said. Ò We hosted the Adirondack Jazz Orchestra and Glenn Miller Orchestra in May and also had the Count Basie Orchestra that October. Both events were fund raisers for the Moriah Central School Music Department. This concert will also be a fund raiser as our music students will be having a bake sale throughout the evening.

“After the success of the first two concerts, I was constantly being asked what band would be coming next,Ó he said. ÒT o save on the expenses of hosting such high quality bands, I started looking at hosting one of the militaryÕ s bands.

A couple of years ago our auditorium was renovated with professional lighting and I thought it would be nice to have another world-class performance group on our stage. I contacted the

office of the U.S. Army Jazz Ambassadors a few years ago, and they mentioned that when they toured next in our area, they would contact me again.Ó They called a few months ago. Ò This group is made up of world class musicians whose mission is to create a sense of pride and support for our local community and country,Ó Pray said.

Since its formation in 1969, the Jazz Ambassadors have appeared in all 50 states and throughout North America, Europe and Asia.

The Jazz Ambassadors present a diverse program of big band swing, Latin music, contem-

porary jazz, popular tunes, standards, Dixieland and patriotic selections.

Members of the Jazz Ambassadors are selected by highly-competitive audition. Many members of the Jazz Ambassadors have extensive civilian performance experience. Alumni have gone on to careers in university teaching, studio recording and performance.

More than three decades of touring have earned them the title Ò The Musical Ambassadors of the Army.Ó The band is directed by Chief Warrant Officer William S. McCulloch. He enlisted in the Army in 1991 as a percussionist and was appointed as an

Army Bandmaster in 2000. During his 20-year career, he has served tours with the 25th Infantry Division Band, Schofield Barracks, Hawaii; the 98th Army Band, Fort Rucker, Ala.; the 101st Airborne Division Band, Fort Campbell, Ky.; the 9th Army Band, Fort Wainwright, Alaska; the 10th Mountain Division Band at Fort Drum; and the 392nd Army Band, Fort Lee, Va. He deployed with the 10th Mountain Division Band from 2008 to 2009 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Master Sergeant Marva J. Lewis is the vocalist with the Jazz Ambassadors. Originally from Denison, Texas, she attended Wiley College in Marshall, Texas, on a choir scholarship, graduating in 1988 with a bachelorÕ s degree in business administration.

In 1989, Lewis joined the Army as a Petroleum Supply Specialist. During the Persian Gulf War from 1990Ð 1991, she served three campaigns in Saudi Arabia with the 15th Forward Support Battalion, 1st Cavalry Division from Fort Hood, Texas.

After returning from the Middle East, she was reassigned to Camp Casey, Korea. While singing karaoke at a unit function, she was heard by the Republic of Korea head of Army Entertainment and recruited to tour throughout Korea. She was subsequently selected for the 1993 and 1994 Army Soldier Show, performing at more than 50 military installations throughout the United States, Panama, Puerto Rico, and Germany.

County stalled on the tracks when it comes to increased rail traffic

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Representatives from Canadian Pacific (CP), the railroad operator responsible for shipping crude oil from North Dakota through the North Country on its way to a processing center at the Port of Albany, told the Essex County board of supervisors, first responders and members of the public at a meeting on Tuesday, March 11, at the Government Center they were working closely with local officials in drafting emergency response plans in the event of an accident.

Federal regulators deemed Bakken crude Ò extremely volatile,Ó after a train derailment and explosion near Casselton, N.D., last year, an incident following the Lac-MŽ gantic derailment last July that pulverized a town in Quebec and killed 47.

Area residents have noted an uptick in the number of trains moving through the region, some carrying upwards of 100 tank cars, and have approached lawmakers with their concerns.

According to statistics provided by Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s office, rail transport of Bakken crude from North Dakota has gone from, Ò next to nothing four years ago,Ó to 800,000 barrels per day now nationally.

Both the refinery in Albany and the tank cars are owned

by Global Partners (GP), one of the largest gas distributors in the region. CP Rail has a contract with them to ferry

Canadian Pacific official Randy Marsh (left) discusses company safety procedures as Ed Greenberg looks on (right). Seated behind Marsh are Tom Scozzfava and Randy Douglas.

Photo by Pete DeMola the crude southward, said CP spokesman Ed Greenberg, and is bonded by federal statues to ship the cargo.

Greenberg said CP, CanadaÕ s second-largest rail company, places a premium effort on safety and communicating with local authorities. Ò Our railroad has an ongoing process of meeting with communities across our North American network to go over a wide variety of areas,Ó he said. Ò This encompasses questions about our operations and other important issues.Ó Greenberg said the CP staffers who live and work in the community Ò stay in touchÓ with local officials and response teams and keep headquarters updated.

Four-hundred of those live in the Northeast Corridor. ItÕ s unclear how many of those live in Essex County.

While Greenberg said the communication process is Ò constantly evolvingÓ be-

tween CP and county and town officials, it’s murky as to what the exact discussion protocol is and if a regular channel for dialogue is in place.

If disaster strikes

CP Community Relations Manager Randy Marsh said while he couldnÕ t reveal the exact emergency response plan due to national security concerns, he said local fire department chiefs were free to request Ò density reportsÓ on a Ò need to know basis.Ó Marsh said that TuesdayÕ s meeting, which included a detailed presentation heavy with statistics and the minutiae of rail transport technology, acted as the first step, or what he referred to as Railroad 101, in CPÕ s emergency planning process.

The next step would be to conduct disaster exercises with local agencies, which would require at least a six-month

advance notice, followed by the third step, a mock exercise with municipalities.

Train master George Newell said the trains, many of which contain the controversial DOT-111 tank cars that federal regulators have determined need to be given safety upgrades, roll into Albany twice per day after completing the four-day journey from North Dakota. These mile-long trains can carry roughly 85,000 barrels of oil.

Essex County emergency services head Donald Jaquish said the county is equipped to handle a train accident on land, but would have to call in outside help if a tank car went into Lake Champlain. Ò WeÕ d have call in outside help regardless of whatever department responds,Ó he said. Ò We donÕ t carry that much foam.Ó Jaquish said the county helps each of the 18 towns in creating non-specific compre-

hensive emergency management plans. Essex County has a comprehensive emergency management plan with annexes for categorized events and will start meeting with fire departments around the lake corridor to develop better and more plans. Ò WeÕ re going to help them be more dynamic,Ó he said.

Jaquish also made a request to CP for more training, including the effects of high altitudes on cargo.

Willsboro town supervisor Shaun Gillilland said he remained skeptical after the two-hour meeting that frequently left Marsh unable to answer lawmaker questions. Ò Residents are concerned and they want answers,Ó he said.

Gillilland said he plans on speaking with the Coast Guard this week and has sent letters to the state Department of Environmental Conversa-

tion for their perspective.

Willsboro resident Moana White said while she left the meeting satisfied, she still questioned the countryÕ s overall energy policies.

“I don’t see this benefitting our country in the long run,Ó she said. Ò ItÕ s not going to make our gas any cheaper.Ó Warrensburg resident Robert Bradley questioned CPÕ s continued usage of the DOT111 tankers. Ò Lives are more important than profit,” he said in a blistering open-ended rebuke against CP reps. Ò And tomorrowÕ s already passed by.Ó Marsh said the company agrees the DOT-111 tank cars need to be retrofitted and noted the companyÕ s $325 per car surcharge theyÕ ve slapped onto non-compliant clients, including GP, as an incentive for them to make the changes.

Green Party hopeful Matt Funiciello opens up

By Pete DeMola

Ò I rent my apartment, donÕ t live a life off the back of my workers -- we all work and all suffer together.Ó

pete@denpubs.com GLENS FALLS Ñ Meet Matt Funiciello, a local baker seeking to land the Green PartyÕ s nomination in the race to replace outgoing Congressman Bill Owens, a Democrat who announced in January that he is retiring from his four-year stint as the federal representative of New YorkÕ s 21st District.

Funiciello said heÕ s Ò watched in horror,Ó as aspiring candidates from the two major political parties have been coming from outside of the area in increasing numbers in an attempt to represent its 400,000-plus voters, a trend that he feels isn’t isolated and doesn’t reflect how Congress is supposed to work. Ò Congress is supposed to be a cacophony of voices representing the uniqueness across the United States,Ó he told the Valley News in a phone interview. Ò When they meet, theyÕ re supposed to represent that. WeÕ ve seen a corporate takeover and thatÕ s really frightening to me.Ó Funciello said Democrats and Republicans have both set up a practice of buying congressional seats, walking into county committee endorsement meetings with hundreds of thousands of dollars pledged from special interests: Ò Or they promise that they can self-fund a multi-million dollar Ô race,Õ Ó he said.

The answer, he said, is to give the public an alternative.

Funiciello, speaking eruditely like someone who has grown accustomed to hatching their ideas in complete sentences, said he thinks itÕ s important to have a multi-party system and that heÕ s not necessarily for the Green Party and everything it stands for, but rather against the Republican and Democratic parties who he says donÕ t have the best interests of the working class in mind. Ò I ask all my friends who are Democrats to name one pro-worker piece of legislation that has come out of Democratic control of congress in their lifetime and theyÕ re hard-pressed to give me even one example,Ó he said. Ò I canÕ t in good conscience run as a member of a party that doesnÕ t work for those of us who work for a living. We need a voice.Ó Funiciello, 46, who has owned and operated the Rock Hill Bakehouse in Glens Falls for the past 25 years, sees himself as a regular worker:

Health care

Ò IÕ m not content that we have to pay to build hospitals, but weÕ re denied access to the health care provided there,Ó said Funiciello. Ò The ACA is a brutal extension of that, the requirement to purchase insanely unaffordable insurance.

WeÕ re still workers who are the working poor.

ThatÕ s an issue that needs to be resolved and single-payer healthcare is an issue that needs to be taken to Washington.Ó

Jobs, military

To bring work to the job-strapped North Country, Funiciello said heÕ d follow frequent Green Party candidate Howie HawkinsÕ Ò Green JobsÓ proposal that would call for the state government to increase public spending to hire private contractors to meet public needs for sustainable green infrastructure, mass transit, water and sewer systems, renewable energy and green building retrofits.

Hawkins, who ran for Governor in 2010, had previously said the only way to get the private economy moving would be to democratize the allocation of investment, namely through the creation of a state-owned bank that would target investment into new technologies and businesses of a sustainable green economy. Ò Fiber opticsÕ jobs that take advantage of solar and wind resources, for example, can be created here,Ó said Funiciello. Ò We can bring money back to the district and subsidize [these jobs] so when a small business comes forward and says Ô we can do thatÕ , they can get the contract.Ó Funiciello said the country has Ò grown fat,Ó on the number of manufacturing contracts that are unnecessarily expensive, citing a recent article he read in the Economist about something called a Razor, an experimental drone designed by the MITRE Corporation and the University of Virginia, that is created on the cheap by 3D printers and is controlled by an Android smartphone loaded with free apps.

“Those fill the same niche as B52’s,” he said. Ò We can be doing all the same spying, if we chose to do so, utilizing this technology. Ò What are we worried about?Ó he asked. Ò ItÕ s this living in fear that causes to spend more on

our military than all other countries combined.Ó The candidate said while he believes in strong defense, he feels the United States does not need to intervene in other countriesÕ affairs in the pursuit of oil and natural gas. Ò We have other options that donÕ t involve hurting people, including our soldiers.Ó

Guns, police militarization

Funciello said while heÕ s Ò not going to pander to gun owners,Ó he feels people outside of the district donÕ t understand that hunting feeds people here. Ò When I was younger, I loved to hunt and had guns, a .22 and 22-gauge shotgun, like most country boys do Ñ I love the meat.Ó Citing the ethical issues swirling around a recent incident in Glens Falls in which a local man was hauled off by five armed officers for allegedly violating an order of protection and the skyrocketing, Ò no-knock,Ó police raids across the country, Funciello said he was worried about the militarization of municipal police forces that has been escalating since the Clinton era. Ò For a city of only 14,000 people, that seems like overkill,Ó he said, referring to Glens Falls. Ò We starting to treat them like a branch of military and theyÕ re not.Ó Funiciello said many say the country is headed for tyranny: Ò I think a well-armed populace is a warning,Ó he said. Ò We need to make sure government is at least wary of us as a population Ñ we have the right to bear arms beyond venison.Ó

Agriculture

Funiciello said the current system of centralized agriculture needs to be reformed. Ò Washington decided in the 1950s that we would have a topdown dairy industry in the state and the current state of the farming industry has reflected the change — most of them are dairy,Ó he said.

Funiciello said a century ago, wheat was king and the North Country, which he said was once referred to as Ò the regionÕ s breadbasket,Ó was allowed to die in favor of a subsidized system. Ò When you pay less farmers less than what their output costs, by necessity, youÕ re reducing them to what is typically referred to as Ô welfare,Õ Ó he said. Ò Call it aid or subsidy or any-

AUTO SALES & MAINTENANCE

thing you choose Ñ setting up a system that requires government regulation is a means to control all elements of the system.Ó Funiciello, who spoke to the Valley News from his bakery in Glens Falls, said he likes to use his business as an example of the microeconomy heÕ d like to reintroduce as a federal representative.

Citing a mill in Jefferson County from which he purchases his flour, the candidate said the area is seeing a resurgence of that kind of local production and distribution. Ò ItÕ s more environmentally sound and this immediate dispersal of food, unbleached and unbromated flours in the region, is something that I cannot get from the Midwest.Ó Funiciello said the rise of public interests in farmerÕ s markets for locally grown food has shown the public that they are able to eat locally for the same price. Ò The growth of this regional economy is something we need to start bolstering by switching to other sustainable farming.Ó Funiciello said the Farm Bill is problematic and no one really understands it. Ò The problem is hundreds of terrible things paired with the two good things: help regulating agencies aid small farmers as they try to assimilate infrastructure rather than being the tyrannical hen that keeps us from developing these new systems,Ó he said.

Living wage

Funciello said he has spoken at the state senate and assembly on a number of occasions in support of a livable wage and in favor of single-payer health care as well as advocating for a total reform of the stateÕ s corrupt Industrial Development Agencies. Ò We should be tired of paying subsidies to businesses only to have them lay off 200 workers,Ó he said. Ò This is what happens in postNAFTA world and we need to elevate our workers to a level where they can pay own bills and not receive what is typically called Ô welfare.Õ Ó Asking corporations to spearhead a change in living standards is something he views as, Ò foxes guarding the henhouse.Ó See more at valleynewsadk.com
