Douglas, who serves as the Jay Supervisor and Essex County Board of Supervisors Chairman, was elected by county delegates from across the state during the association’s annual meeting last month. Ò I look forward to working with county leaders from across the state to strengthen the role of local government in New York,Ó said Douglas in a statement announcing his election.

ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Ò WeÕ re doing very important work throughout the region,Ó United Way Executive Director John Bernardi told Essex County lawmakers last week.

The Adirondack arm of the national fundraising organization provided service to 81,000 people in Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties last year through 41 partner agencies, issuing funds for services that often fall between the cracks of government, like heating assistance, recreation for the elderly and treatment for the mentally ill.

“It’s astonishing,” he said.

Bernardi encouraged town supervisors to assess the relationship between their constituents and the organization. Ò What we can do for you?Ó he asked.

He cited the agencyÕ s 211 information and referral system.

When in need, it can often be daunting to get help, he said. Ò We like to say, Ô Burning house? Call 911. Burning question? Call 211.’”

Doing so will link callers up with a specialist who will help them navigate the network of health and human services across the region.

Food Shelf, Grange work to fill in food gaps as winter looms

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ Winter is coming, a tough time to be hungry in the North Country.

The Community Food Shelf in Elizabethtown is on the frontlines, an agency that is often the last link in the food supply chain before local bellies really start to rumble.

Organized and run by five churches in the Champlain Valley, the shelf aims to provide emergency and supplementary food for residents in need.

Last year, the agency served 20,438 pounds of food to 1,325 Elizabethtown, Lewis and Westport residents.

They do this annually with a budget of about $10,000 and an allvolunteer staff.

With nearly three months left in the year, the agency is on track set to eclipse last yearÕ s total, with 18,000 pounds distributed by the end of August.

Everyone who comes to the office, which is located at the Church of the Good Shepherd on Williams Street, receives between three and five days of food, said Director Marilyn Jordan.

TOUGH CHOICES Jordan said hunger is a problem in the North Country.

Household incomes are low and the agency serves many elderly residents who live alone, often with Social Security as their only

source of income. Some are on disability, others have medical issues.

Many are underemployed, left without much of a safety net after the seasonal economy goes into a deep freeze.

This scarcity means residents often have to make a choice between heating their homes, fueling their vehicles, paying rent or eating.

Even a minor disruption in their daily routines can upset the balance.

Jordan said the agency frequently gets calls from the Essex County Department of Social Services and religious institutions tipping them off to people who need help.

Gift baskets are then prepared and dropped off anonymously.

They include staples like bread, milk, juice, cereal and canned goods, a miscellany of items that can be used for breakfast, lunch and dinner (Desert items are kept to a minimum, said Jordan).

Much of the products come from the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York.

That agency has four kinds of inventory.

Surplus from the USDA, like peanut butter and cereals, comes to them at no cost. Items on the second wishlist, like close-to-expiration foodstuffs donated by grocery stores like Price Chopper and Hannaford, costs 16 cents per pound.

That includes 600 pounds of meat, which is stored in a freezer in Elizabethtown and divvied out throughout the winter.

Susan Lindtner, an official with the Regional Food Bank, said funding for the past several years has been relatively stable in the face of drastic statewide cuts.

She said while her agency is grateful, they are also dealing with increased demand, a formula that means everyone has to do more with less.

On a regional level, the total number of meals provided has risen by nearly 20 percent in the past five years, with total food poundage increasing from 2.9 million to slightly over 4 million, or about 39 percent.

Lindtner said this boils down to the average person walking away with four more pounds of food then they did in the past, a sign that economic recovery still eludes many in the North Country. Ò From our perspective, the agencies we serve are working very hard to meet that need,Ó she said. “And they’re performing better than five years ago to meet it.”

She said the facility in Elizabethtown is doing a remarkable job.

LOOKING LOCAL Another inventory comes from a cooperative agreement with nearby agencies, including the Essex County Office for the Aging, that allow them to pull together for stronger purchasing power.

Donations are also wrangled up by local folks and organizations like the Kiwanis Club. Ò We continue to operate because weÕ re supported by members of the community,Ó said Jordan. “Neighbors feeding neighborhoods.”

Fresh fruits and vegetables are included whenever possible, like the recent donation by a loFishing For A Good Deal? cal resident of 120 pounds of produce from their garden.

Stefanie Beneng cuts watermelon at an event on Friday, Oct. 3 at Whallonsburgh Grange in Essex. The Grange, along with the Community Food Shelf, are two local institutions working to fill in gaps in the region’s food system.

Photo by Pete DeMola But Jordan and other officials acknowledged there are gaps that still need to be filled.

While local farmers often have surplus crops after harvest, for instance, it’s difficult to get these and other perishable items to charitable organizations due to a lack of significant storage space.

Adirondack Harvest Coordinator Laurie Davis said this was paired with the issues of getting people to eat healthy and the affordability of local food, which tends to be slightly more expensive.

Immediate access, at least at local supermarkets and farmerÕ s markets, is slated to alleviated with a provision of the Farm Bill that will give SNAP recipients increased purchasing power for local fruits and vegetables. Equipment to process the benefits will also be made more openly available to the farmerÕ s markets and community-supported agriculture programs that dot the Champlain Valley Region.

While overall SNAP program was reduced, funding to food banks was bumped by $200 million, bring the food issue back full circle.

“We’re trying to figure out ways to fill those gaps,” said Meg Parker, an official with the Essex County Department of Public Health.

Parker said officials are working closer with places like the Whallonsburg Grange Hall to create more loops within the local food system, including usage of the facilityÕ s recently remodeled commerical kitchen to help producers preserve their harvests, something that might make donations easier in the future.

On Sunday, Oct. 19, the facility will host a daylong workshop designed to empower local entrepreneurs and residents to help fill in these gaps.

Whallonsburg Grange Office Manager Stephanie Beneng said the workshop is just one spoke in the larger wheel spanning regional food systems and the role of the Grange as a community resource.

Over time, Beneng hopes the community will come together to preserve their own harvest. She also hopes new businesses will pop up to create value added local products, a measure that will help diversify income and unlock the long-dormant entrepreneurial spirit of local residents.

Beneng said storage was key, both for pantries like the Community Food Shelf and the sudden flushes that come with the fall harvest.

She said the creation of a regional food storage hub, a measure that might be made possible with the right financing and grant packages, would help solve these problems as well as encourage larger facilities like hospitals and colleges to keep their purchasing local. Ò This could be the next wave of local food system planning,Ó she said. “They could operate in a way that works for everybody.”

Jori Wekin helped facilitate installment of the facilityÕ s kitchen and runs a consulting firm that seeks to bring value added items to market.

She said while their connective tissue with the Community Food Shelf is still evolving, it shows promise.

“We’re just trying to figure out what that relationship is going to look like,Ó she said, Ò whether itÕ s a percent of what we make going to them or what would be helpful to fund them so they can purchase food from local farms.”

Back in Elizabethtown, Jordan was thankful: Ò WeÕ re truly heartened by the generous support from the community,” said Jordan.

Economic development report to be revealed

Jim Morse and his family spearheaded an initiative to purchase three TV and DVD units for Elizabethtown Community Hospital after Jim’s wife, Marsha, was admitted to the facility this past spring and eventually succumbed to her illness. Their donation, made in conjunction with Al’s TV in Willsboro, ensures future patients the opportunity to watch videos, movies and view photos with their family members during their stay, something that gave the Morse family solace during Marsha’s final days.

ESSEX Ñ Champlain National Bank is proud to sponsor the public presentation of the WEEDC Report, which makes recommendations to spur economic development and job creation in Willsboro and Essex.

It will be held at 6pm on Wednesday, Oct. 22 at CFES in Essex, and will be the first time the public will be able to hear the findings of this report.

The Willsboro Essex Economic Development Committee (WEEDC) studied conditions in Willsboro and Essex using focus groups formed with leaders from various sectors. Participants were asked to discuss what can be done to strength the towns and create jobs, and what stands in the way of economic success.

Teresa Sayward, who is a member of Champlain National Bank’s Board of Directors, was appointed to chair the WEEDC. Ò The WEEDC met with local businesses in both Willsboro and Essex and asked them for input on the direction the Willsboro Development Corporation should take to grow the economy in both communities,” she said. “We identified strengths and weaknesses to economic development. This report will guide future growth and support existing businesses in Essex and Willsboro.”

Joe Shaw, Champlain National BankÕ s President and CEO said, “We are happy to support Ms. Sayward as a member of our Board in the good work she and the WEEDC are doing for Willsboro and Essex. Being that our Bank’s headquarters is in Willsboro, we have a very keen interest in the vitality of these communities. It’s great to see these two towns working together.”

All are welcome and encouraged to attend the presentation.

Rob Ivy • robhivy@gmail.com farmers market of the season last Friday in Elizabethtown.

There were fewer customers and vendors than in July, but the town of Essex was represented by both Reber Rock Farm and Juniper Hill Farm. This is Reber Rock’s first season at the market, and their fresh vegetables were impressive, especially the golf ball-size brussels sprouts. Although they aren’t certified organic, they use organic practices like fertilizing with organic chicken manure from a two million bird farm in Chazy as well as their own horse manure.

Juniper Hill was officially certified as organic just this summer, and they also grow excellent vegetables. New this year for them is a mushroom enterprise, and at the market, they had shitake and oyster mushrooms, all grown in Essex.

On Nov. 1, the Grange will have an evening of music to honor the Day of the Dead. Among other performers, Nathan Henderson and the Reber Rock Band of Jersey Street will take the stage. No word yet on whether the Juniper Hill All Stars will have their act ready for what should be a great evening of entertainment.

tÕ s time, again, folks! Wadhams Free Library and Dogwood Bread Company invite you to the libraryÕ s annual fall FUNraiser Sunday Brunch, which will be hosted by the bakery on Sunday, Oct. 19 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. This time, the familiar Sourdough Waffle and Frittata Extravaganza will have a tasty twistÑ our veggie frittata has a bold new recipe, courtesy of library board member Ray Matteau (thanks, Ray).

In the past, the veggie was simply the regular frittata minus the sausage: a potato, onion, and cheddar kind of thing. Hearty, yes, but maybe (it was observed) just a trifle boring. Ray thought seasonal swiss chard, chunks of Gouda cheese, and a little garlic would jazz things up, and the frittata-maker (yours truly, if you hadn’t figured it out) was inclined to agree.

So welcome to the New Veggie. We’ll have plenty on hand, along with the traditional sausage, and, of course, the bakery’s famous sourdough waffles with whipped cream, strawberries, and syrup. Plus plenty of baked desserts along with coffee, tea, and juice.

This event, of course, is always a family-friendly occasion, and we library folk consider it to be greatly enlivened by large numbers of formerly hungry but now thoroughly fed children zipping around among the grown-ups. The suggested donation is $12 for adults/$6 twelve and under. Feel free to adjust it up or down according to your needs and inclination. The main thing is to have fun and great food in support of the library, thanks to our generous hosts at Dogwood.

Derinda Sherman and Pat French, whoÕ ve been helping lead the Westport Bicentennial Committee, have asked me to pass along the committeeÕ s thanks to Chazy-Westport Communications for letting them meet each Tuesday morning at 8 a.m. in the company’s lower offices.

The Bicentennial Committee is selling a variety of memorabilia to raise money for the big celebration next year, including T-shirts, notepads, magnets, and Koozies (all featuring the Westport chair), as well as other gifts. And the redemption center in Elizabethtown will take bottles and cans to benefit the celebration as well.

public.

Douglas said the issues facing the North Country are vast.

Among the biggest includes mandate relief, an issue that continues to bewitch Essex County lawmakers as they grapple to provide services under a state-mandated tax freeze that prohibits municipal governments from going above the tax cap. Ò Chairman Douglas has a wealth of knowledge about the needs and concerns of New YorkÕ s North Country, and that experience Ñ and his close relationship to Governor Cuomo Ñ will be critical to the deliberations of our board of directors,Ó said NYSAC Executive Director Stephen J. Acquario in a statement. Ò Governor Cuomo has done a great job reducing some things,” said Douglas. “We’ll continue to work together to find common ground.”

Other issues include education, combating a growing heroin epidemic and social service reform that would require testing for job training programs.

Douglas said he will continue working with regional councils to promote tourism, public safety and economic development.

going to continue to work with the state and federal government to find common ground and work together.”

Douglas said he had a great working relationship with Cuomo, a bond that was sealed in the aftermath of Hurricane Irene three years ago.

“He’s been here non-stop,” said Douglas.

Cuomo last visited Essex County in August when he dedicated the new Upper Jay Firehouse and checked in on the efforts to refurbish Whiteface Mountain in Wilmington.

His running mate in next monthÕ s general election, Kathy Hochul, was in town last week to discuss infrastructure with Douglas and Keene Supervisor Bill Ferebee.

“She was very receptive to our concerns,” said Douglas. “It went very well.”

Nonprofits: Should they pay their fair share? North Country Community Papers alive and doing well

N

onprofit organizations abound throughout the North Country.

They provide services like lobbying for environmental protection and fostering artistic appreciation.

They promote recreation and educate our citizens.

While their missions are diverse, most share a common collective strand.

They do not pay property taxes on the real estate and the buildings they own.

But at the same time, they impose a cost on municipalities by consuming public services, like roads, streetlights and ambulances.

This doesnÕ t seem fair to the taxpayers in the cash-strapped North Country.

In fact, it seems like a legally-sanctioned form of squatting.

As budget season falls on towns throughout the Adirondack Park, that large sucking noise you hear is the sound of these organizations vacuuming up services as beleaguered town officials scourge for change in their couch cushions.

WeÕ re well aware of the historical background that has led to this antiquated system, that these institutions contribute to societyÕ s general welfare by providing much-needed services for those who cannot provide for themselves.

But we think that in many cases, this is subjective.

Sure, religious organizations still fall within that category and are sacrosanct in remote communities. So do the myriad of other health and human services providers that fill in the cracks left by governmental absence.

Some health care centers and hospitals say they provide a valuable service to the poor and have applied for tax-exempt status.

While we question how much of those services are actually being offered to the indigent in lieu of citizens with sweet private insurance packages, they also act as anchors for goodpaying jobs, attracting young professionals who plant roots in the community and enroll their kids in local schools.

How about areas like recreation, arts councils and environmental organizations? Should they also be tax-exempt under the auspices that they provide a common good?

As proud Adirondackers, we think things like good paying jobs for the lifelong working folks provide a common good, not abstract concepts.

Without good jobs, people will continue to flee the region. The tax base will continue to plummet, further kneecapping budget planning by municipal governments that are already rolling back the services they provide to

those of us who do pay taxes.

This gradual extinction of our communities was presented in all of its stark ugliness last spring when some schools were openly discussing closing their doors and sending their students elsewhere.

Similar discussions will undoubtedly be repeated this coming winter.

One moderate solution is asking nonprofits to make escalating annual payments that would eventually rise to a percentage of what they would pay if treated like any other institution, measures similar to the PILOT agreements used to lure in business investment.

Some is better than none.

This is basic math.

We learned this in school. But the way things are going, those arenÕ t likely to exist in the North Country for very much longer.

Another option, like the option floated by New Orleans, is tightening the screws on how the tax-exempt status for nonprofits is granted.

Since municipalities within the Adirondack Park are automatically handicapped by the mandates that freeze our tax base, an additional layer of bureaucracy that paralyzes economic development, this should be actively discussed.

Our small towns need accessible value and revenue to sustain services.

Period.

Another option is imposing an ˆ la carte approach to services.

And lastly, as a nuclear option, we should explore the possibility of closing the tax-exempt door for hobbyists and outsider organizations that only serve a select, insular audience, including those with second homes elsewhere, outsiders dropped in from outside the region.

WhatÕ s the landscape of the Adirondack Park going to look like if this warped financial arrangement continues?

Towns preserved in amber, playgrounds for the idle rich.

We understand money is tight all around and asking nonprofits to cough up more dough may tighten the nooses around the necks of those they serve, resulting in reduced services.

But is it fair for nearly 20 percent of the land in Essex County to be tax exempt?

It’s time for a discussion.

Supreme Court Justice Brandeis said sunlight is the best of disinfectants.

As municipalities prepare their budgets, we call for all towns to shine the floodlights on the tax-exempts in their communities to determine if they benefit the community as a whole, or just the chosen few. ÑD

Race for the 21st

Funiciello, Stefanik and Woolf speak out on the issues ELIZABETHTOWN — Voters will go to the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 4 to select a replacement for outgoing Congressman Bill Owens, the federal representative for New York’s 21st Congressional District.

Owens, a Democrat from Plattsburgh, is retiring in January after two full terms.

Three candidates are running to replace him: Republican Elise Stefanik, of Willsboro, Democrat Aaron Woolf, of Elizabethtown, and Green Party candidate Matt Funiciello, of Glens Falls.

We asked each candidate a set of identical questions covering issues that we felt would be of interest to our readers, including how they view public service, if they would vote along partisan lines if elected and how their proposed policies would directly impact residents of the district.

The hour-long interviews were conducted in-person with our editorial board, which included Publisher Dan Alexander, Managing Editor John Gereau, Southern Bureau Chief Keith Lobdell and Reporter Pete DeMola.

The following transcripts have been edited and condensed. For the full discussions, visit denpubs.com.

Question: What do you see as the major issues you personally can address and have any impact on resolving?

Matt Funiciello (G)

Elise Stefanik (R,C,I)

Aaron Woolf (D,W)

Answer: “My platform: ending corporate welfare, single-payer health care and raising the minimum wage,Ó said Funiciello, of Glens Falls.

Funiciello said he wants to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour. He dismissed the argument that doubling the wage of fast food workers, to name one cohort, would also double prices, citing Sweden as an example, where the hike resulted in only nominal bumps in consumer prices. Ò IÕ d be willing to pay an extra 60 cents [per hamburger] so my neighbor can make a living,” he said.

Answer: Ò As I travel throughout the district, the number one issue I hear about is jobs and the economy, and specifically, how can to encourage rural economic development in not just one portion of the district, but in the entirety of the 21st District.”

The candidate discussed a number of federal level proposals and how to increase the focus on ways to support local economic growth.

At the federal level, Stefanik said the tax burdens on small businesses, middle class families and small farms are too high.

“We need to simplify tax code: throw it out and start from scratch.”

Answer: Ò The major issues are the issues in the district that IÕ m hearing on the campaign trail: infrastructure, jobs and small business,” said Woolf. “We should want politicians that listen.

I’m not running to be a historic figure, but someone to represent the 21st.”

Citing firms like Corning, General Electric and IBM, the documentary filmmaker said New York has been the incubator for some of the country’s greatest businesses.

Cutting edge rural infrastructure, he said, should be a longterm investment to help grow the economy.

Question: As a congressman do you really have control over job creation in the private sector? And if so, specifically how?

Matt Funiciello (G)

Elise Stefanik (R,C,I)

Aaron Woolf (D,W)

Answer: Funiciello said jobs are often made part of the Congressional resume, like when incumbent Congressman Bill Owens attracted subway car manufacturer Bombardier to Plattsburgh. ÒB ut that could have been done as a private person,Ó said the candidate. “Job creation should be the last thing done in Congress.”

Funiciello said the Green Party is focused on redirecting corporate welfare money, including the funds used to prop up the military and prison industrial complexes, into building infrastructure.

Answer: “My long answer early on addresses that,” the candidate laughed. “But I do think there are immediate steps that can be taken at the federal level to roll back some of the anti-job regulation from this administration to make healthcare more affordable for small businesses and individuals that will help spur job growth.”

Repealing the medical device tax will have an immediate impact on the district, she said. Ò I think immediately, IÕ ll be able to show the leadership to create jobs.”

Answer: “Yes, absolutely. I would work to rebuild trust in government and bring that North Country can-do-ism to Washington.”

Woolf said he had a long track record of producing concrete results in the North Country, including the Go Digital or Go Dark campaign that he co-founded. The Regional Economic Council’s Common Ground Alliance also helped Woolf better understand mechanicians for bipartisan action.

In Washington, Woolf said he would do same thing.

“The stakes are really high,” he said.

Question: Class warfare, the war on women, racial injustices, immigration — Isn’t there a better way to appeal to your base without putting people into classes and pitting them against one another?

Matt Funiciello (G)

Elise Stefanik (R,C,I)

Aaron Woolf (D,W)

Answer: Ò If I wasnÕ t ardently running as working class representative, then I’d say yes,” said Funiciello. “But I have to plead guilty: class warfare is a good thing.”

Funiciello cited the financial backing of his opponents and their personal assets.

“It is possible to be a millionaire with honesty,” he said. “But what about ten million?Ó Ninety percent of the American population arenÕ t millionaires, said Funiciello. As such, Congress needs voices who can represent the working class.

Answer: Ò I do think there is a better way to appeal not only to the base, but to all voters. People are getting tired of the political process; theyÕ re tired of the negativity and theyÕ re tired of the identity politics.”

The candidate said it was important for this district, in particular, to be an independent voice and accessible to the voters.

Stefanik said some of best ideas from the campaign trail have been suggestions from voters in the district, people like business owners, young single moms and students.

The process, she said, has been a good way to overcome much of the negative identity politics.

Answer: Ò I think politicians far too often exploit those kinds of rhetoric,” said Woolf.

While the candidate called the War on Women idea a tagline and a marketing catchphrase, he said he agreed with the substance underlying the terminology. Ò I think IÕ m a much stronger candidate on womenÕ s issue than my female opponent,” said Woolf. “Elise Stefanik was against Paycheck Fairness before she was for it. As the 2012 Policy Director for the Republican Party Platform, she opposed the partyÕ s platform on abortion. She comes from a very radical Republicanism that is not in line with voters in district.”

Question: What can you do to bring the debt under control when no elected official is willing to address the tough issues that affect their voting base?

Matt Funiciello (G)

Elise Stefanik (R,C,I)

Aaron Woolf (D,W)

Answer: “I am a capitalist. We all suffer together. The national debt is $17 trillion. One of the major ways to [bring the debt under control] is to establish a centralized bank to control and isolate our own economic expenditures as a country.”

The North American Free Trade Agreement, said the candidate, was in essence, a Republican measure passed by centrist Democrats in order to give the agreement a bipartisan seal.

In the district, he said, a tough choice would be determining the future of Fort Drum. Funiciello said he would focus on keeping 10,000 people employed, not investing in large-scale defense systems that does little to build long-term sustainability.

Answer: Ò The debt is a generational issue and I have talked about that more than any other candidate. I think I have a voice to do that because my generation will be inheriting the debt and other generations will be left with this.”

Stefanik is 30. Her Democratic opponent, Aaron Woolf, is 50 while Green Party candidate Matt Funiciello is 46.

The average child born today is born into $40,000 of debt, she noted. “This president has racked up more debt that presidents Reagan to Washington combined.”

If working families should have to balance their budgets, said the candidate, then so should Congress.

Answer: “We have to bring the debt under control. This is no

joke. When you take debt and put it with the dysfunction in Congress, you get the type of scenario where the US fails to be the US we want it to be. Our spending is not growing. We need to grow the economy and address debt.

My opponent talks about the failed policies of [President] Obama, but unemployment has just come down to 5.9 percent.

We need to grow the economy. Our roads and bridges are falling apart. My ways of raising revenue don’t contribute to the debt,” the candidate said.

Question: What do you see as the best and the worst elements of the Affordable Care Act and how can we move forward without wasting the efforts of the past six years?

Matt Funiciello (G)

Elise Stefanik (R,C,I)

Aaron Woolf (D,W)

Answer: At its worst, said the candidate, the ACA is unconstitutional.

“It’s an insurance company bailout,” he said.

The solution is enacting single-payer health care by passing HR-676, the Expanded & Improved Medicare For All Act that would reduce the age of Medicare to zero. The ACA would then be rendered as unnecessary because all Americans will then have health care, explained Funiciello.

Funiciello said he agreed with the provision of the ACA that prohibited insurers from turning down applicants with pre-existing conditions.

Answer: The two worst aspects, said the candidate, are the aforementioned medical device tax, something she said has led to direct job losses, and the employer mandate, a measure that Stefanik said has encouraged small businesses to keep their staffs under 50 employees.

A third element, said Stefanik, was that small businesses are going through cancellations.

“We have 16 employees in our business,” she said. “You don’t have the human resources and capability as larger companies have.” One positive was that young people have been allowed to stay on their parents’ plans up until a higher age.

Answer: The ACA covers 38,000 kids in the district who could have been turned down for pre-existing conditions, said Woolf.

Overall, it covers 23 percent of residents in district, a clear expansion of coverage for people who never would have been covered before.

“I’m definitely not in favor of repeal,” he said.

Woolf said the legislation is also bringing down costs, citing that health care costs are now rising lower than at rate of inflation.

On the flipside, Woolf said he didn’t like government intrusion and the medical device tax, something he said punishes success.

Question: Where do you stand on term limits?

Matt Funiciello (G) Answer:

The candidate said if his bid was successful, it would be first time in recent history that third-party candidate would be elected. “This is public service and it shouldn’t be like winning the lottery,” he said in regards to term limits.

Elise Stefanik (R,C,I)

Aaron Woolf (D,W)

Answer: “I support term limits. I would vote in favor of term Answer: Woolf said there was no magic wand to rid DC of its crolimits and I have publicly said that if IÕ m lucky enough to win the support of this district, not just this time, but multiple times, I’ve term-limited myself to ten years.”

nyism and it was difficult to discuss limits without also discussing the seniority system that sees committee chairs and other influential positions being awarded to longtime members of Congress.

Question: Is getting this job about you or about the country? And if about the country, then why do you need health care and a pension in order to serve?

Elise Stefanik (R,C,I)

Aaron Woolf (D,W)

“This is about this district. If you see the amount of young people that are leaving this district, my demographic is leaving in historic numbers. It’s gotten harder for [small businesses] to grow because of the challenges that small businesses face. Instead of growing, it’s gotten harder for them to grow due to government overreach.”

Stefanik said she believed Congress needed to live by the same laws as the average person and should not get subsidies for their health care coverage.

Answer: ÒK nowing what I know now, I donÕ t think anyone would put them through this process,” laughed Woolf.

The candidate said he loved this part of the world more than any other and was fortunate enough to have found success in filmmaking, a field that eludes most.

He said he was dismayed when Congressman Bill Owen announced his retirement last January. ÒWh oÕ s going to run for that seat?Ó recalled Woolf, citing what he said was Owens’ “thoughtful and caring” service to the district.

Matt Funiciello (G) Answer: Ò I donÕ t need health care to serve and I will not accept insurance until my workers have it,” said Funiciello.

The salary, he said, would be necessary because he makes $40,000 per year and has no retirement or savings that would fund his travels back and forth from Washington as well as a residence.

On gold-plated benefits, Funiciello said while members of Congress are overpaid, he would rather withhold judgement before making “bold declarative statements.”

Answer:

Question: What can you do in Washington to get Congress focused on the major issues facing the country instead of political grandstanding for the benefit of your party?

Elise Stefanik (R,C,I)

Aaron Woolf (D,W)

Ò I think this president has been incredibly partisan, including during the past few months as weÕ ve headed into this election cycle. I think it’s really important by day one of this next congress, thereÕ s a commitment to important to tackle these big issues, whether it’s tax reform or reigning in our spending. And I believe the more voices we have in Washington having that type of accountability will be really important.”

The candidate also said she would “drive” legislation. “If I earn the support of this district, I do not aspire to be a backbencher.”

Answer: Woolf cited an anecdote from King Corn, his 2007 documentary film that sought to address the role of federal corn subsidies in American society.

“I succeeded in my career because I could find human story to shine light on policymaking,” he said.

“I think my ability to find North Country stories will be a persuasive tool in Congress. To my knowledge, there’s never been documentary filmmaker elected to Congress.”

Matt Funiciello (G) Answer:

Funiciello said the question of being a Democrat or Republican isn’t as relevant as the corporate influence behind both political parties.

The candidate cited OwensÕ previous comments on the dysfunction in Washington that prohibited meaningful change, one of the factors underpinning his retirement.

Freshman representatives, said Funiciello, have little power to determine legislation that would benefit their constituents and become backbenchers who are trotted out for floor votes.

Answer:

Congressman Owens proved he was willing to vote his conscience by crossing party lines on 35 percent of his votes. Would you be willing to do the same?

Matt Funiciello (G)

Elise Stefanik (R,C,I)

Aaron Woolf (D,W)

“It’s quite easy for me to cross party lines because there are no lines,” said Funiciello.

He cited the SAFE Act as one example of how he broke with his party.

“I grew up with a .22. I love guns. These are not things urban Greens understand.”

Answer: Ò I would be and have demonstrated that over the course of the campaign,” said Stefanik.

The candidate said there are several key areas, including agricultural and northern border issues, that are inherently partisan, while other areas, including armed services issues, would require working with other members of the state’s delegation.

Answer: Ò I will vote for best legislation for this part of the country. I don’t care if it originates with the Democrats, Republicans or a martian.”

Answer:

Where in the district do you take your vehicle to be serviced?

Elise Stefanik (R,C,I)

Matt Funiciello (G) Answer: “I own a F-150, which I love so much. I take it to Nemer Ford [in Glens Falls]. I really liked Henry Ford’s attitude that his workers should make enough money to buy his cars.”

Answer:

We have pick-up trucks in my family, so I drive a Ford and in terms for getting it serviced... I’m due for service.”

Aaron Woolf (D,W) Answer: “Egglefields! I’ve known Hawk since I was a kid. I have a Ford now and I had a Chevy before then. I used to go to Scottie’s and swim in his pool.”

lawmakers of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), a refundable tax credit that assists struggling families with young children. Filed like an ordinary tax return, the EITC is typically used to bolster basic needs, including food, fuel and rent.

“They’re the working poor,” said Bernardi. “I don’t like to use that term, but these people are working one, two or three jobs and still having trouble making ends meet.”

Bernardi cited Randall Douglas, Bill Ferebee and Gerald Morrow as three town supervisors who have reached out in the past.

Douglas, of Jay, said he worked with the agency in the aftermath of Irene to fulfill unmet needs that weren’t covered by state, county or federal guidelines, or for those maxed out their allotted funds Ñ like if a furnace cost $35,000, but a homeowner only had $34,000, he said.

“It worked out perfect for us,” he said. “They were very helpful.”

Following his speech, Bernardi rolled footage of an assembly line of North County figures extolling the virtues of the program, including Essex County Transportation Department Director Nancy Dougal, AuSable Valley Central School District Superintendent Paul Savage and Brian Waters, an Adirondack Health staffer who spearheaded his company’s fundraising effort last year. Ò I have a real appreciation and respect for breadth of services they support,” said Waters in the video.

Officials hope to raise $725,000 this year. Since the campaign was launched last month, the tally stands at $158,000. Donors can choose to allocate funds to specific groups, like the Senior Citizens Council for Clinton Country, for instance.

Director Maria Alexander said she thinks services provided by her organization will grow each year because of the graying baby boomer

www.valleynewsadk.com population. Ò We are already seeing that this population is looking for different types of activities and more wellness type programs,Ó she said in an interview. “The funding we receive from the United Way is vital for the Senior Citizens Council to maintain quality services and activities for the older, active individuals in our community.”

Alexander said overhead costs are immense, including $1,000 per month for heating and cooling costs. Ò Any funding we receive really offsets our cost to keep our building safe, secure and up and running,” she said.

Morrow, of Chesterfield, serves as the board’s president.

These aren’t free handouts for those who find work displeasing, he said. Furthermore, the organization allows elected officials to cross bureaucratic lines.

He cited a AuSable resident who came to him for help.

“I wanted to help them, so I make a quick phone call. They got that person connected,” he said. Ò Thank you so much for helping our constituents making it through some bad times,” said Douglas.

Letters to the Editor

Unthinking bias To the Editor: Ken FenimoreÕ s letter is the perfect example of unthinking bias. He presents his opinions as if they were facts. I’d like to respond, point by point: Ò (President Obama) ignores lawful procedures.Ó

This is for a court to decide--and none has. Ò (He) is not relevant on the world stage.Ó Bush was relevant on that stage, throwing us into an unwarranted and catastrophic war based on incomplete intelligence and downright lies (ItÕ s interesting that Bush has a degree from Harvard Business School, one of whose maxims is that a leader must be decisive even if he hasnÕ t all the facts, or people will not have confidence in him. Obama has a Harvard Law degree.

He waits until he has all the facts. HE THINKS! Some have lost confidence--but we haven’t seen thousands of American deaths, either). Ò The risk from Islamic terrorism is increasing.Ó The Bush/Cheney decision to dismiss Ba’ath Sunnis from the Iraqui government and military has provided the core of the Iraqui ISIS extremists. Ò The Mexican border is not a border . . .Ó The answer must be to build more walls (Customs says walls won’t work.) and send more agents. Congress has been asked for funds for the latter but has refused to appropriate them. Perhaps American support of improving Latin American economies and law enforcement would allow people decent lives in their own countries. Ò Holder has selectively applied the law . . .Ó A perfect example of opinion stated as fact. Ò Brennan . . .lied and spied . . .Ó This one’s right. He should be gone. Ò Political correctness trumps all.Ó No facts, no examples. On the contrary, often “political correctness,Ó sometimes known as accepted social norms, is the only thing standing between decent minority citizens and public racist, sexist, homophobic insults.

The debt?

What happens when the party representing working people asks the party representing the rich to pass bills requiring their 1% constituents to pay a slightly higher tax? And how many of the Ò half the peopleÓ who pay no taxes are really corporations with offshore locations specifically sited to avoid taxes? Ò Handouts?Ó Does this mean unemployment payments to those who have tried conscientiously for months to find work and cannot? Does Mr. Fenimore have any personal connection to such people? Those of us who do are appalled by such unwarranted disparagement of good people. Ò The current economic malaise was initiated by Congress in the 1990Õ s?Ó How about the unbudgeted BILLIONS spent on an unnecessary war initiated by an ill-informed and deceiving Republican president? From 1992 to 1998 (These were the mentioned 1990Õ s, right?) we had unprecedented economic and budgetary balance.

More opinion stated as fact by the writer. Ò How have we come to this?Ó State legislatures have so gerrymandered Congressional districts that Ò purpleÓ barely exists, making compromise impossible. Fenimore is right about one thing: “It’s time to become involved.”

In this area, that would start with voting for the candidate who promises reason and compromise rather than a strict adherence to an irresponsible national party ideology.

Indians run to big win over Red Storm in battle of unbeatens Peru comes from behind to win 32-14

By Andrew Johnstone

andrew@denpubs.com PERU — In a battle of Section VII’s last two unbeaten teams, the Indians rode a strong second half to the 32-14 win over the Red Storm to move to 6-0.

Saranac Lake, which dropped to 5-1, led 14-6 midway through the third quarter until Peru’s running game, led by Brandon SawyerÕ s 158 yards on the ground, took over the game. Ò It was a battle,Ó said Peru Coach Nick Damiani. “It was a good win because you’re facing such a fantastic opponent.”

The first quarter belonged to Saranac Lake.

Tristin Fitzgerald hit Jason Stack on a 55-yard catch-and-run for the early lead and Jack Martin picked off a Blake Altizer pass to give the Red Storm an early swing in momentum.

Fitzgerald finished the game 24-40 for 265 yards, two touchdowns and an interception while Altizer went 11-19 for 133 yards, one touchdown and two picks.

Saranac Lake had a chance to push the lead to 10, but a first-quarter field goal attempt went wide right.

In the second quarter, the Red Storm looked to be in control when they stole two consecutive Peru possessions on a fumble recovery and an interception by Ty Marmion. Ò I think the nerves got the best of us in the first half,” said Damiani. “We definitely got

Peru returned a Saranac Lake punt to midfield and shortly after Lawyer made it the extra yard to the endzone by hauling in an 11-yard touchdown pass from Altizer. The Indians’ extra point was good for a 19-14 lead with 2:09 left in the third.

In the fourth the Red Storm had the chance to take the lead as they marched down the field with Fitzgerald passes to Alex Donaldson (48 yards receiving), Marmion and Killian Ryan.

A 16-yard pass to Stack, who finished with nine catches for 109 yards, was good for a fourth-down conversion on the drive, but of fourth down Fitzgerald was sacked and fumbled. Saranac Lake picked up the loose ball but Peru took over on downs.

It would become the difference maker.

Five players later, Gallo picked up his second touchdown of the game when he took a handoff 76 yards for the touchdown and a two-score lead. Ò I just took the ball to the right and my guys did a great job blocking,” said Gallo.

Saranac Lake went four-and-out on their next drive and Peru put the final nail in the coffin when Sawyer picked up his second rushing touchdown from 39 yards out. The point-after attempt was no good, but Peru would run out the clock a possession later for the 32-14 win. Ò It feels great because theyÕ re a really great team,” said Gallo of the win. “They all played hard and theyÕ re going to keep on doing what they do and win games.”

“Today we just got the upper hand.”

caught up in the championship moment.”

While the Red Storm couldnÕ t capitalize on the turnovers, the Indians did. Anthony Gallo picked up a Marmion fumble and took it to the house, going 65 yards for the score.

The extra point was no good and Saranac Lake took a 7-6 lead to the half. Ò I didnÕ t think halftime could have come fast enough,” added Damiani. “We needed it just to take a breath. We were just a mess in the first

half.”

It seemed that a breath was just what the Indians needed. The Red Storm went up 14-6 on FitzgeraldÕ s 40-yard touchdown pass to Marmion, who finished with 22 yards rushing and 55 receiving, but it would be all Indians from that point on.

Altizer found Troy Lawyer on a 34-yard pass to the 1-yard line and Sawyer finished, punching it in a play later to get within two.

38 yards out and Jaquish found Stockwell for a two-point conversion and a 14-6 lead.

Moriah looked poised to take control as Billy Larrow intercepted the ball on the next Beekmantown possession, but the team turned the ball over on downs, leading to the Archer-toStevens touchdown pass to tie the score at halftime, 14-14.

Stevens scored the opening points of the second half with his 60-yard run in the third quarter before Jaquish found Slattery for a David Tyree-like 48 yard touchdown pass.

A two-point conversion try was unsuccessful, and the Vikings found themselves down 21-20.

After the teams exchanged possessions, Stevens ran for an 80-yard score. On the ensuing kickoff, Beekmantown was able to recover and Stevens scored his final points five plays later. Ò We have been practicing the play for about four weeks and we saw they were leaning so we tried it,” Lozier said. “It was a lucky call.” Ò It hit and circled around to them so it paid off for them,” Tesar said of the kick. “It is one we should have recovered.”

Archer finished the game 4-for-8 with 67 yards. Along with the 26-yard score to Stevens, he hit Mickey Pepper for 16 yards, Nate Handy for 19 and Matt Villa for six.

Dylan Peryea ran the ball seven times for 38 yards, while Tyler Myers had four carries for 31 yards and Archer had four runs for 24.

Defensively, Rowell had 3.5 tackles for loss, with Villa adding a pair of tackles for loss with a sack, Peryea adding two tackles for loss, Tyler Newman with 1.5 tackles for loss, Steven Sweeney with one and Handy recording and interception.

For Moriah, Jaquish finished 14-of-25 for 201 yards, two touchdowns and a pick.

keith@denpubs.com MINEVILLE — Justin Stevens continues to keep moving along.

The Beekmantown running back ran for 265 yards on 25 carries, scoring four times on the ground and adding one more on the receiving end of an Alex Archer 26-yard pass in a 33-20 win Oct. 10. Ò Everyone keys on Stevens and tonight they had four players over our tight end at times,Ó Beekmantown head coach Jamie Lozier said.

“But that’s why he is Justin Stevens.”

Stevens scored on runs of three, 60, 80 and 11. Ò We knew the goal was to try and contain Stevens tonight,” Moriah Coach Don Tesar said. Ò You have him blocking and (Chris Rowell) blocking in front of him, we do not have anyone to match up size-wise.”

Moriah opened the game strong, as Cody Stockwell returned the opening kickoff 30 yards and Adam Jaquish found Jarrod MacDougal on a 23-yard scoring pass for a 6-0 lead.

After Stevens tied the game, 6-6, the Eagles were victimized by a pair of turnovers on a Taylor Slattery interception and a Noah Gilbo forced fumble recovered by Hayden Fernandez.

Chiefs come from behind to win first Saranac River Bowl Late tipped pass, botched punt help Chiefs to 20-12 win over Plattsburgh

By Barrie Finnegan

denpubs@denpubs.com SARANAC Ñ The Saranac River Bowl will be played each year in remembrance of Justin Christian (2-281988 to 11-25-2006). Justin’s mother said that a healthy rivalry was started in the family since Justin was a player for Pattsburgh High and both his parents played for Saranac. With both schools located on the Saranac river, the idea for the bowl game was born.

Hornets Coach Pat Keleher gave his pre-game instructions knowing he had a great chance to get his team a win against the Chiefs. Keleher told his team, Ò If you are going to make a mistake, make it at mach-three

with your hair on fire and don’t look back.”

His team responded with a hard fought effort, falling just short in a 20-12 loss to the Chiefs on Oct. 11.

After the Hornets recovered a

fumble on the Saranac 4-yard line, DÕ Andre Lemieux scored on a 2-yard quarterback keeper to open the scoring.

Zack Daniels came through with a sack to prevent the two-point con-

version, leaving the score 6-0 with 4:13 left in the first quarter.

That would wrap up the scoring for not only the first quarter but the first half as well. The Chiefs showed life by moving the ball well, but turnovers would haunt them all day.

A total of five held the Chiefs in check.

In the third quarter, Logan Harvey came up with an interception giving Plattsburgh the ball and halting a Chiefs drive.

Saranac came through with an interception of their own only to be reversed on a defensive holding call.

This proved to be a big factor as shortly after that Lemieux would go 44 yards for another Hornets touchdown. A fumble on the two-point try would leave it 12-0 with 6:53 left in the third.

The Chiefs would get their ground game rolling with Hunter Church carrying much of the load. Church scored from three yards out with 1:15 left in the third.

The conversion attempt would

fail, leaving the score 12-6.

The strangest play of the game, as well as the most costly to Plattsburgh, came with only 2:52 left in the game.

A Mason Utzler pass bounced off a Hornet defender, popped up into the air and bounced off another before landing in the alert hands of Caiden Goodman for a touchdown.

This conversion also would fail, leaving the game tied with Plattsburgh to receive the kickoff.

Previously in the game Logan Harvey was sidelined with a sprained ankle, a costly loss for the Hornets.

Harvey was not only a running back, but also a linebacker and punter.

With time running out, Plattsburgh had to punt, and the 4-yard net on the play would give the Chiefs a chance in regulation.

George Miller would not let the opportunity slip by and took the ball 15 yards to the end zone. Church added the two-point conversion, giving Saranac the 20-12 win.
