Congresswoman Stefanik
This Week IN INDIAN LAKE
Elise wins NY-21 seat over Woolf, Funniciello By Pete DeMola Keith Lobdell Thom Randall
denpubs@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Elise Stefanik has won the race to represent New York’s 21st Congressional District, becoming the youngest woman ever to be elected to Congress. Stefanik, 30, soundly defeated opponents Aaron Woolf, a Democrat, and Green Party candidate Matt Funiciello, shortly after returns started coming late Tuesday, putting a definitive end to the prolonged race for the open seat being vacated by Congressman Bill Owens. With 564 of the 589 precincts in the 12 counties reporting shortly after midnight, Stefanik clocked 53.4 to Woolf’s 32 percent. Funiciello garnered 10.8 percent. At 10:40 p.m, Stefanik addressed her supporters at the Queensbury Hotel in Glens Falls. “Tonight we have made a little history in the North Country,” she said. “Every vote I take I will ask myself one question, will this help the residents of the North Country? “Aaron and Matt were both gracious and I expressed my appreciation to them for their hard-fought races,Ó she continued. Ò You get to know your opponents well and get to know they are very good people.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

NEWCOMB Ñ There is so much to learn from other cultures, so many types of people to take in, but the opportunity to do so does not always present itself. Superintendent of Newcomb Central School, Skip Hults, is a firm believer in enriching his students with the experience of a lifetime, and has brought international students to the school for the eighth year. Hults himself has hosted 13 students at his home in the last eight years, most of which call the Hults’
Ò Mom and Dad.Ó Newcomb Central School, the first school in the area to adpot the program, has had 92 international students in their eight years. Necomb has had as few as five students and as many as 20. The numbers change every year but the experience is always enriching. The program has encouraged other schools in the region and some as far away as the town of Warwick to host international students in their own districts. Hults has spoken about the program both on the state level and internationally. “I’m glad many more [schools] have started to
get involved,” he said. “Some superintendents were watching what was happening here and seeing how it progressed and after a couple years of seeing how positive it was they decided that it would be worth trying. I’ve been to Minerva, Indian Lake, Long Lake, Schroon Lake, Keene...and that is just in this general area.Ó Though many would be intimidated to travel to another country and not just visit, but live there for an entire school year, Hults thinks that students adjust quite easily.
