Darrell’s POW camp was liber ated by American troops in early April 1945, about a month before Germany’s surrender on May 7.
Residents of an alpine valley in Northern Italy still hail as heroes the two American pilots of a crip pled U.S. plane who crashed into the side of a mountain rather than release their bomb load onto the villages below during a World War II mission. Both pilots died, but they bought enough time for the five other crewmembers aboard their crip pled B-25 Mitchell bomber to bail out. One of them, 1st Lt. Franklin Lloyd Darrell, Jr., the bombardiernavigator, lived for a time dur ing and after the war in Saratoga County, as did his parents.
Guild died in 2003, Tulley in 2006 and Ifshin in 2017. Barrett, the last surviving member of the Maybe’s crew, died in 2019.
On Feb. 24, 1945, Jeanne received a Western Union telegram from the Pentagon informing her that her husband had been reported “missing in action since Six February over Italy.” A day earlier, Franklin had written a postcard, addressed to his par ents in Corinth, from a stalag in

Darrell was assigned to the 447th Bomb Squadron, 321st Bomb Group, which by September 1944 was flying bomb missions against Nazi forces being driven up the Italian peninsula by Allied ground troops. On Feb. 6, 1945, while on a bomb ing run in the Italian Alps, the Maybe was hit by German anti-air craft fire. Pilot 1st Lt. Earl Remmel of Oklahoma and co-pilot 2nd Lt. Leslie Speer of Kentucky kept the plane in the air long enough for the five other crewmembers to para chute to safety before the bomber crashed into a mountain outside the village of Ronzo di Chienis.
Franklin Jr. enlisted in the Army Air Forces in May 1942 after two years of studies at the University of Minnesota. He was trained as a bombardier and navigator aboard B-25s, and in between postings that took him from to Alabama to New Mexico he married Jeanne on Jan. 20, 1944, in Minneapolis.
The surviving airmen – Darrell, Sgt. Silas Barrett of Connecticut, 1st Lt. Harlan Tulley of Wyoming, Tech. Sgt. Bernard Gould of Massachusetts and Tech. Sgt. Isadore Ifshin of Brooklyn – were captured by the Germans and sent to prisoner of war camps.
Among his surviving wartime keepsakes is his handwritten note that says he was a POW at two sta lags, returned from France aboard a ship that docked in New York, then he traveled to Minnesota before he “returned with Jeanne to Corinth, NY on June 23, 1945.”

Franklin L. Darrell Jr. was 80 when he died in Nebraska on Oct. 20, 2001. Jeanne Darrell remained in Nebraska, where she died on June 27, 2018. She was 93.
According to the 1950 census, Franklin and Jeanne were then liv ing in Richfield, Minn., where he was employed as an aeronautical engineer. Franklin III and Richard, the first two of their five children had been born by then. The elder Franklin re-enlisted in the Air Force in 1951 and spent the next 18 years in the service, retiring as a lieutenant colonel in 1969.
The same year the memorial was dedicated, Appleby co-authored a book on the Maybe’s final flight.
Earlier this summer, the International Tyrolean Trentino Organization of North America, a Northern Italian cultural heri tage group, honored the crew of the bomber nicknamed “Maybe” dur ing the group’s convention held Aug. 4-7 at the Crown Plaza Albany-The Desmond Hotel in Colonie.
Franklin Lloyd Darrell, Jr. was born on June 29, 1921, in Kenogami, Quebec, where his father was employed as an engi neer at a paper mill. Franklin Sr. was born in Brooklyn in 1889. While attending engineer ing school at the University of Maine in Orono, he met Elizabeth Merrill, a native of Bangor, Maine. They were married on June 10, 1916, in Bangor. The couple also had another son, Alan, and a daughter, Betty. By 1940, the Darrell family was living in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where Franklin Sr. was working at the International Paper mill. It was in Minneapolis where Franklin Jr., called Lloyd by his family, met his future wife, Jeanne Herbacek, a Chicago native. In the early 1940s, Franklin Sr. was transferred to the IP mill in Corinth, where he was assistant plant engineer.
Jeanne Darrell spent the last months of the war living at her in-laws’ home on Main Street in Corinth, a not-uncommon arrangement at a time when stateside housing for military spouses was scarce.
Franklin listed her as his next of kin with an address in Palmer, a neigh borhood in Corinth.

On May 13, a Western Union tele gram from Darrell was delivered to his parents’ home in Corinth, telling them he was “well and safe.” The news of his liberation was announced in the May 24, 1945, edition of his mother’s hometown newspaper, the Bangor Daily News, with a photo of Darrell in uniform and a caption that listed his hometown as Palmer, NY.

For group member Ivo Finotti, the events of Feb. 6, 1945, have a per sonal connection. He grew up near where the Maybe crashed, and he has relatives who were living in the plane’s final flight path who may have been injured or killed if the pilots had jettisoned the bomber’s 3,000-pound payload. “It’s all about keeping this history alive,” said Finotti, of Toronto, Canada, who gave a presentation on the Maybe’s last flight and the fate of its crewmembers, includ ing Darrell, whose parents were living in Corinth when his plane was shot down and he became a prisoner of war.

Sidewalks for Caroline Street Where None Currently Exist
SARATOGA SPRINGS — Reconstruction work is under way of the High Rock Avenue and Excelsior Avenue intersec tion with the goals of improving safety and traffic operations of a historically difficult intersection and connect the new trail on High Rock and Excelsior Avenue. “While this road closure is a major nuisance, a safer, improved roadway awaits as well as a con tinuous multi-use trail along High Rock Avenue from Lake Avenue to the eastern end of Excelsior Avenue,” the city said in a statement released Sept. 6. “In the meantime, we appreciate your patience.” Work hours will generally be between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. During construction, all businesses will remain open and be able to be accessed past the Local Traffic Only signs. Local Traffic Only signs will be placed at Maple Avenue and Rock Street, High Rock and Circular Street, Warren Street and Elbern/Avery Street, and Excelsior and East Avenue. Completion is anticipated by Nov. 11, weather and conditions permitting.Afull map of the of detour plan is available on the Saratoga Greenbelt Trail page on the City’s website: org/2425/Saratoga-Greenbelt-Trailwww.saratogasprings.
“Once you walk with your 5-year-old on this narrow, two-way road with no shoulders and parking allowed on both sides… there is no denying the need,” she said, adding that wintertime snow piles create an even more precariously narrow passageway for pedestrians. The sidewalks will be installed along the north side of Caroline Street on a stretch of road that runs five blocks from Schuyler Drive to Foxhall Drive. Assemblywoman Carrie Woerner and Saratoga Springs Commissioner of Public Works Jason Golub made the joint announcement. Woerner secured $150,000 toward the project, with the city providing matching funds.

City to Fulfill “Absolute Necessity”
SARATOGA SPRINGS — Residents who had attended several City Council meetings to advocate for safer passage ways for young students attend ing Caroline Street Elementary School were pleased to learn this week that the city announced it will be installing pedestrian side walks along a five-block stretch east of the school, where no side walks currently exist. “Nearly every time I drive on this stretch of Caroline Street, I have to drive into the opposite lane of travel to avoid pedestrians in the road,” said Olivia O’Malley, who was accompanied by her second-grade daughter, Carlin, at a gathering during the Sept. 1 announcement.
O’Malley said that once her daughter started attending kindergarten at the school, her perspective grew to a new realization for the “absolute necessity” for sidewalks.

“These are our tax dollars and it’s a pleasure to bring them back to the community to make such an important difference in the lives of our youngest mem bers, and to help the keep the anxiety levels of our parents down considerably,” Woerner said. Golub thanked Woerner –“without her support this project wouldn’t have been possible” – as well as parents and residents who came to City Hall to bring the issue to the City Council. “This sidewalk project is something you fought for, both yourself and other families,” Golub said. “There is nothing more important than the safety of our children. When children and families are walking home from school in the street without the safety of sidewalks, we have not done our best.” The overall project will include the installation of new sidewalks, curbing, and storm water infrastructure to limit drainage issues along Caroline Street. City DPW will conduct the work which is anticipated to take place later in the school year. by Thomas Dimopoulos Saratoga TODAY

In September 2000, the Village Board of Trustees in Schuylerville adopted curfew restrictions for minors. Excepting things such as the accompani ment by an adult or in being the process of returning from prearranged activities, the law makes it unlawful for any minor under the age of 18 to loiter or remain in or upon any public street, high way, park, vacant lot or other pub lic place between the hours of 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. – and is punish able by up to a $250 fine. Whether these charges may also be appli cable is not known. The village declined comment requesting any additional information that could be shared about the matter.
Police suspect the three boys drove through the neighborhood smashing the windows and dam aging the bodies of parked vehi cles while most in the community were of choice appear to have been an assort ment of bricks, paving stones, and firewood, said NY state Police Trooper Stephanie O’Neil. “It was a combination of things. Multiple items taken from a local business and utilized,” she said. “A couple different locations had video foot age (of the incident), and that’s how we were able to locate the three processed at SP Saratoga and issued appear ance tickets returnable to the Saratoga County Youth Court. A court return date or names of the accused were not made public, as all three are under the age of 18. “They’re adolescent offend ers and that’s why their names aren’t released,” said attorney Derrick Hogan, partner at Tully Rinckey Attorneys & Counselors at Law, in Albany. “There’s a rea son they have these types of pro cesses…these are supposed to be sealed and private proceedings. I continued from front page... don’t think this is something that’s going to be generally open to the public,” he explained. “Because of their age they are charged as youths. The age in New York is 18 – that was implemented a couple of yearsNewago.”York’s Raise the Age leg islation, or RTA, went into effect for 16-year-olds in October 2018 and for 17-year-olds one year later. Prior to RTA, New York was one of two remaining states to hold 16-year-olds criminally respon sible. The legislation changed the age that a child can be prosecuted as an adult to 18 years of age in criminal cases in New York State. “There are a couple of ways it can go – either to Family Court, or to the Youth Part (of County Court), which is like any other court in the town or county, but the Youth Part deals specifically with individuals say 16 or 17,” Hogan said. “In order for it to stay in the Youth Part, there needs to be either some extraordinary circumstances, or a three-part test: did the crime involve sig nificant injury, or a display of a weapon, or a sex offense. If none of those matters are met, the DA’s office would have to file a motion showing extraordinary circum stances as to why it should stay in Youth Part. Otherwise, it goes to FamilyRegardingCourt.“

SARATOGA — Cudney’s Launderers & Dry Cleaners has recently announced the grand opening of 24/7 kiosks and drop boxes at all four of their retail locations. On Friday, September 16 at 1 p.m., the launderers will be celebrating this step toward around-the-clock customer service as well as hosting a celebration to honor their 70 years of business in Saratoga County, an impressive feat. The ceremony will be held in conjunction with the Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce at Cudney’s 160 South Broadway location. There will be snacks, cake, a prize wheel full of gifts for those in attendance and lots of fun. “We would love for you to join us,” said Cudney’s President Joyce Ure. James Cudney, a Saratoga native, entered the laundry business in 1952 when he rented a small location on Lake Avenue that boasted just four washing machines. He and one employee washed the garments and hung them to dry as there were no dryers on the premises. Later that same year, Jim invested in two dryers to help improve the process. The company grew over the years and now has a freestanding plant, four storefronts with 24/7 kiosks and drop boxes, two self-serve laundromats and a home and business delivery route. Cudney’s has been Saratoga’s eco-friendly dry cleaners since 1952. Their recent addition of the 24/7 kiosks and drop boxes has improved their services, as now customers can pick up and drop off any time, like an ATM for your clothing. And for those who want to limit personal contact, this addition provides a contactless option. Cudney’s staff is still able to assist during attendant hours.

Protecting your personal information, both online and in the physical world, is becoming ever more important, and ever more difficult, in our increasingly connected society. The good news is that there are steps you can take to help reduce the likelihood of becoming a victim of identity theft.
Common Sense Steps to Protect Your Identity
These services will store your various passwords in an encrypted format and will often require a single master password for gaining access. This limits the number of passwords you actually have to remember, allows you to have unique passwords for different sites, and eliminates the password-post-its or lists you probably have somewhere near your computer. Even though you may have a secure password, you should still change it regularly. The reason is that you likely use similar user names and passwords across different sites. If a breach happens, and that data is stolen from a vendor, the combinations can be tried across other sites to gain access. Changing your passwords on a regular basis can help reduce the risk that a breach in one place could spread to your other services. We live in an ever-connected world and you need to be vigilant that the conveniences that connectivity offers don’t put you at risk of identity theft. While you may never be able to eliminate the chances, there is plenty you can do to reduce your risk.

Most people only send two kinds of mail from home: bill payments and greeting cards. Both of these typically contain a check with your name, account number, routing information, address, and phone number, a lot of what’s needed to steal your identity. Every time we put up that little red flag on our mailbox, we’re unwittingly announcing to would-be thieves that there’s information they’d like to have. Consider bringing any of this type of mail to your post office, using a blue USPS mailbox, or even sending your outgoing mail from work.
It seems that every month some company is announcing that their systems have been hacked, and customer information has been accessed by unauthorized parties. With all of these breaches, it’s important to check your information regularly to help ensure you are not a victim. If you are a victim, early detection is vital to minimize the damage. targets for identity thieves. The good news is that you can now turn a majority of these offers off by visiting www.optoutprescreen.com and opting-out. You can opt to turn them off for 5 years, or forever!
Consider checking on your child’s information as well. The identities of children are often stolen because they are seldom monitored. In those cases, you may not find out until your child applies for a student loan. The good news is, since minors can’t open credit cards, resolution should be a bit easier than with adults.
• Make sure your child’s backpack, when packed, weighs no more than 10 percent of their body weight. A heavier backpack will cause your child to bend for ward to support the weight on the back, rather than the shoulders.
Ask if your child could leave the heaviest books or items at school and bring home only lighter handout materials or workbooks.
• Wide, padded straps are very important. Non-padded straps are uncomfortable and can dig into your child’s shoulders.
• A backpack with individ ualized compartments helps in positioning the contents most effectively. Make sure that pointy or bulky objects are packed away from the area that will rest on your child’s back.
• Roller packs—or backpacks on wheels—should be used cau tiously and on a limited basis by only those students who are not physically able to carry a backpack. They present their own risks if they clutter hallways, potentially result ing in dangerous trips and falls.

• The backpack should never hang more than four inches below the waistline. A backpack that hangs too low increases the weight on the shoulders, causing your child to lean forward when walking.
• The shoulder straps should be adjustable so the backpack can fit to your child’s body. Straps that are too loose can cause the back pack to dangle, causing spinal misalignment and pain.
Back pain is pervasive among American adults, but they are not alone: Young children are suffer ing from back pain much ear lier than previous generations, and the use of overweight back packs is a contributing factor for some, according to the American Chiropractic Association (ACA).
• Urge your child to wear both shoulder straps. Lugging the backpack around by one strap can cause the disproportionate shift of weight to one side, leading to neck and muscle spasms, as well as low back pain.

“In my own practice, I have noticed an increase in the number of young children who are com plaining about back, neck and shoulder pain,” said ACA member Dr. Scott Bautch, who practices in Wausau, Wis., and is president of ACA’s Council on Occupational Health. “The first question I ask these patients is, ‘Do you carry a backpack to school?’ Almost always the answer is ‘yes.’” This back pain trend among young people isn’t surprising when you consider the disproportion ate amounts of weight they carry in their backpacks—often slung over just one shoulder. Surveys show children today carry every thing from books, laptops and school supplies to sports uni forms, shoes and water bottles in their backpacks at any given time. One study examining the impact of backpacks on children found that over 70% of children surveyed had a backpack that exceeded the recommended 10% of their body weight. Of these children, 32% complained of back pain. Another study on backpack weight and schoolchildrens’ pos ture showed that head and spinal posture were affected by backpack weight, with heavier backpacks causing a child’s head and spine to bend farther forward. What Can You Do? We suggest using an ergo nomically designed backpack. The following are tips on choos ing the right backpack for their child and wearing it properly:
Chiropractic Care Can Help If you or your child expe riences any pain or discomfort resulting from backpack use, call your chiropractor. Doctors of chi ropractic are licensed and trained to diagnose and treat patients of all ages. In addition, chiro practors can recommend exer cises designed to help children develop strong muscles, along with instruction in good nutri tion, posture and sleeping habits.
• Bigger is not necessarily better. The more room there is in a backpack, the more your child will carry and the heavier the backpack will be.
• If the backpack is still too heavy, talk to your child’s teacher.

Families TO DAY 16 Week of September 9 – September 15, 2022 by Katherine Morna Towne for Saratoga TODAY “MOTHERING BOYS”
As someone who wants to know exactly when things should happen (I distinctly remember asking my mom, when I was pregnant with my oldest, exactly when I could expect him to start sleeping through the night), I
A few parents jumped on Facebook to post notes of reassurance for the parents of incoming freshmen — they were all veteran parents of sophomores or older who wanted to assure the new parents that, though it might seem like this transition period will always be devastating and will never get better, it actually does. My favorite posts were the ones that shared about students who had really struggled during their freshman year — those who had had a really hard time adjusting and making friends — but who ultimately did and were ecstatic to be going back for their second (or whichever) year. There was even one parent who posted to say that the group had gotten her through the hard part of sending her child off to college and the subsequent freshman year, but that now that her child was a well-adjusted sophomore, the mom wanted to thank us all and let us know she’d be leaving the group, as it had served its purpose for her.
One of the women in the group is a mom of two current students, and also works on campus in a position that involves a lot of interaction with students. Right before the semester started, she shared that “the most valuable thing we can do for our children is to help them selfadvocate.” She said she’d been fielding phone calls from worried parents as the summer went on and her answer to each of them was to have their child contact her. She sought to reassure us all that her role — and the role of everyone on campus — is to provide any help and information the students need, but that it’s imperative that the students ask for it themselves. In general, I completely agree that learning how to “speak up for themselves, constructively ON THEIR OWN” (in the words of the poster; emphasis hers) is one of the best ways to learn, grow, and become independent. (I still reserve the right to step in, though, as I’ve seen a person’s youth work against them in interactions with older adults, which can be so frustrating.)
I’ll admit that, at this point, I’m having a hard time putting myself in the shoes of a mom whose child has successfully and happily finished his freshman year, so it’s a bit of a leap of faith to believe that will be me next summer (even though my own mom went through it with me and my siblings and it happened just the way the veteran parents in my current college group have said).
There were several new posts a day over the last six months or so, almost entirely by new or prospective college parents, and answers were given by other new/prospective parents or by veteran parents, some of whom are also college employees. What a wealth of information that group provided!
Kate and her husband have seven sons ages 17, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, and 3. Email her at kmtowne23@gmail.com.
THE SETTLING PROCESS WILL TAKE SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS (OR LONGER)
It will almost certainly be fine
I’ve always liked to look at those who have come before as proof that hard things can be survived and do pass (how many times during my motherhood have I looked to the older moms I know and clung to the fact that it hadn’t killed them!), and I’m trusting that these veteran parents know what they’re talking about. I look forward to chiming in next summer with my own reassurance and advice for the new/prospective parents!
ur household is officially one person less, now that our oldest has moved into his college dorm. He’d been increasingly independent the last year, and especially this t, what with all the working, running, and hanging out in his room with his brothers he did, so I’m feeling his absence mostly at meals and in the kitchen in general (all that running garnered a huge appetite), in the late evenings (he’d usually hang out with us for a bit to watch TV or whatever), and at night (with his empty bed). My husband is missing his sports-talk buddy (thank goodness for texting!), and my older boys especially are missing a dear friend (again, thank goodness for texting!
It did my heart good to hear my second oldest bursting out in peals of laughter while texting with his big brother the other night).
IT WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY BE FINE
found great comfort in a post from a couple of years ago by writer/speaker Amy Betters-Midtvedt that was shared by a current parent in my college parent group. Betters-Midtvedt (hidingintheclosetwithcoffee.com) wrote from the perspective of a parent who’d already been through freshman year with one of her kids, and noted, “A good rule is to make them stay put for at least six to eight weeks, especially if they are having a hard time. Yes, this will basically feel like forever to both you and your miserable child. But something happens around the 6-week mark.” It’s important to note that six weeks and even eight weeks wasn’t long enough for me to feel settled — I was well in to the second semester of my freshman year before I felt like I had finally found “my people” (who are still my people); also, Midtvedt acknowledged that there are definitely exceptions to this rule, especially in regard to mental health struggles. But generally speaking, I found this timeframe — and the additional advice to resist going to “rescue” your child until and unless they’d really given it “the old college try” (literally!) — reassuring.

The problem, many parents cite, is that while the SROs have posi tions in Saratoga High School and Maple Avenue Middle School, the six elementary schools of the city school district are oftentimes left without a police presence. While SROs may rotate around the dis trict on occasion, all elementary schools (Caroline Street, Geyser Road, Division Street, Greenfield, Dorothy Nolan and Lake Avenue Elementary) do not employ fulltime SROs. And with the recent uptick in tragedies in schools throughout the country, namely the Uvalde shooting on May 24, it has left Saratoga elementary par ents feeling particularly unnerved. In fact, a recent change.org petition has been started by a district member and mother of three, Jessica Todtenhagen, to put pressure on the district to employ SROs at the elementary level. The petition, which was created a few weeks ago, has received over 940 signatures as of September 7. Of the 145 schools that saw at least one shooting in the 202021 school year, 59 were elemen tary schools, that’s over 40%,

School Resource Officers (SRO) in SSCSD Continues as Students Return This Fall
continued from front page... according to data from the Center for Homeland Defense and Security analyzed by the National Center for Education Statistics. This is some thing that Jessica Todtenhagen homed in on when speaking to the Board at their August 25 meeting. “Can anyone truly question why this is such a concern for parents?” said Todtenhagen.Importantly, however, there have been some opposing voices when it comes to adding these officers in Saratoga’s schools. Including one parent who cited a 2021 JAMA study that concluded that “armed guards were not asso ciated with significant reduction in rates of injuries; in fact, con trolling for the aforementioned factors of location and school characteristics, the rate of deaths was 2.83 times greater in schools with an armed guard present.” Of course, this study had some selfadmitted limitations - limited by its reliance on public data, lack of data on community charac teristics, and inability to measure deterred shootings or nonevents. Plus, new hires mean bud get reconfigurations. The city of Saratoga estimates $75,000 as an expense for SRO’s – that means the school district will have to source an additional $450,000 per year to cover the six elementary schools in the district. Some board members com pared this SRO debate to the pandemic, because in a sense, both required adaptable agenda planning, Board member Dean Kolligan said, “my guess is that if we [the city school district] had to come up with funding – we can find it. No one prepared for the pandemic, we found fund ing as far as the pandemic was concerned and how to spend at the eleventh hour. I’m not equat ing SROs to the pandemic, but my point is, this is what I would like to see, it’s an agenda planning opportunity… I’m not diminish ing the rebuttals, so to speak, from anybody, and I understand people will have their own opinions on it… I just think we need to have the conversation and preparation of what it looks like to add addi tional SROs to the district” To which Vice President of the board Natalya Lakhtakia replied, “we should be looking at what the impact of having more SROs is on a particular school commu nity. I think that school safety is very widely studied… what we have is this anecdotal information but what we really need to assess [is] how important they are [in a] more quantitative and in-depth look at the actual impact. I would ask that we look at what the impact is of having SROs at elementary schools and what the data shows before we look at increasing SROs in ourThedistrict.”nextboard meeting will be held on September 13 at 7pm at Division Street Elementary.

Soldani also produces sparkling wines, adding carbon dioxide to give them a light Prosecco-style fizzy touch. The Robinia Hill brand comes from grapes owned by her business partner’s vineyard in Skaneateles. Her own winery offers a view of lands that she dreams of filling with her own wineproducing grape vines.
The Saratoga Farmers’ Market is open Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Wednesdays from 3 to 6 p.m. at High Rock Park. Find us online at www. saratogafarmersmarket.org and follow us on Facebook and Instagram.

The Ballston Lake winery is owned by Kate Soldani. She started the winery in 2014 in her parents’ garage in Galway and now offers wines via three brands: Galway Rock, Saratoga Sparkling, and Robinia Hill.
Soldani joined the farmers’ market this year.
A pepper-encrusted beef tenderloin can be served with braised red cabbage and Saratoga Garlic aioli. This main course is perfect for a small gathering and pairs wonderfully with Galway Rock’s Reserve Riesling.

“The key is to respect the acid and tannin profile of the wine and create wines with balance. New York grapes don’t achieve the huge sugar content of hotter growing regions, so the alcohol level in the finished wine is much more approachable.” Because of this, the only wines that Soldani sweetens before bottling are her Riesling and Moscatos.
The market also can be where we dream of getting away even more. That’s what visiting the booth of Galway Rock Winery did for me as I sampled their wines for the first time.
FOR THE BRAISED RED CABBAGE:
2. Combine peppercorns , salt , cumin , paprika , coriander , cinnamon , cardamom and nutmeg in a bowl. Rub 1 tablespoon of oil over beef. Coat beef all over with spice mix.
Unlike many others made in New York, Soldani’s wines are dry and crisp. The reason is simple, says Soldani, who studied biology at SUNY Albany.

3. Preheat a barbecue hotplate to high. Add beef and cook, turning occasionally, for 10 minutes or until browned all over.
“The true enjoyment comes from sharing our wines with friends, family, customers, and food,” Soldani says. “We simply make wine, and we make wine simply. You can see this in the fun, uncomplicated wines that end up in the bottle.”

“These are the only wines with a high enough acid to have a balance between sweet and sour. All the others are 100 percent dry.” I prefer wines on the dry side, so my sampling led me to the winery and a vertical tasting event. It consisted of a four-course meal, and each course was paired with two samples: the same wine bottled in two different years. Servers described the food, and Soldani discussed the wines, explaining how shifts in weather and production affected their flavor in the different years.
Transfer to a roasting pan. Reduce heat to medium. Cover barbecue with lid and cook beef for a further 35-45 minutes for rare beef or until cooked to your liking. Allow to stand covered for 10 minutes before thinly slicing.

Hello my Foodie Friends!
Early September begins the harvesting of summer plants. To harvest is considered a time to pick and gather what you sow. This season begins the time where farmers till their fields and ready the land for the next planting. Harvest time includes picking of foods such as cranberries, tomatoes, peppers, basil and Italian herbs, summer squash, corn, peaches, and apricots. Pureeing and canning many of these products has become a seasonal project for our foodies. Harvest making includes making apple/peach/pear butters, making tomato sauce and putting pureed pumpkin in the freezer.

A standard food mill consists of three parts: a bowl, a perforated plate that sits at the bottom, and the aforementioned hand-crank that is responsible for moving the metal blade that pushes the food through the plate. The result of this old-timey churning is a smooth purée without a seed, peel, pit, or stem in sight. The Food Mill is a tool that allows for fine and coarse milling. The changeable bottoms give you the ability to seed your harvest by the bushel. The food mill is a cross between a food processor and a sieve.
You turn the handle and an angled blade presses the contents of the mill through a perforated disk, keeping any remnants like seeds or skin safely out of your puree. Unlike a food processor or a blender, a food mill does not incorporate air into the puree altering its texture. The result is a denser puree that is ideal for foods like applesauce or tomato sauce.

Many of today’s food mills are designed to fit snugly over a vessel that catches the puree allowing you to mill in place with one hand while simultaneously cranking with the other.
Think of a food mill as being the low-tech version of a food processor—there’s no plug or motor, just a hand-crank that moves with a little help from you and your biceps. What can a food mill do that a processor can’t? Just ask any homesteader or canning enthusiast what their favorite time-saving tools are and you can bet the food mill is right up there at the top of the list. This is because a food mill can simultaneously purée and strain foods so efficiently that it renders the once tedious task of peeling fruit and vegetables obsolete.

Notable milestones included the 1,000 Saratoga victory by Hall of Fame rider John Velazquez and the 1,000th win overall for locally-based owner West Point Thoroughbreds. By almost any measure the meet was a success with the New York Racing Association successfully adding the Wilson Chute to permit one-mile races on the main track and introducing the new Paddock Bar as a new upscale amenity. The weather largely cooperated allowing 199 races to be run on the two grass courses.
While it is always difficult to draw conclusions based on data from a short period of time, it appears bettors gravitated to the quality racing cards put forth by the New York Racing Association at the expense of other race tracks.
A Stellar Meet Comes to a Close; A Star Struts his Stuff
The increase in betting handle of almost $63 million coincided with a $53 million drop in betting handle on other thoroughbred race meets during the same period.
Week of September 9 – September 15, 2022 29WINNER’S CIRCLE
The 2022 Saratoga race meet concluded on a cold, dark, rainy Labor Day before of a sparse crowd but even such an ending could not take the luster off an outstanding season. Live attendance figures topped one million spectators and the overall betting handle shattered all previous marks with more than $860 million wagered over the 40 days. The final three race cards of the meeting featured 37 races and saw an outstanding performance in the older horse division by Olympiad in the Jockey Club Gold Cup and the upset of another champion when War Like Goddess came up short at odds of 1-5 in the Flower Bowl Stakes. The meet had some familiar names at the top of the leader board with Irad Ortiz winning the riding title, Chad Brown the training title and Klaravich Stables wining the owner Amongtitle.the other stellar performers were jockeys Javier Castellano with a resurgent performance, Flavien Prat closing out strongly in his first Saratoga season and a rejuvenated Jose Ortiz with an agent change midway through the month of August. Midwest trainer Phillip Bauer had an outstanding meet with a limited number of starters. Owner Barry K. Schwartz had an outstanding meet with each of his horses as did Dan Reeves.
However, despite the success of the Saratoga meeting, the racing world was agog this week with a performance on the opposite coast where Flightline remained undefeated in the Pacific Classic Stakes by demolishing Grade 1 competition at San Diego’s Del Mar Racetrack. The lightly raced 4-yearold colt was so impressive in his 19-length victory in near record time that newcomer and veteran fans each were left speechless. Among the accolades bestowed by viewers were “Secretariat-like” and “Best thoroughbred since Spectacular Bid.” The performance was so impressive (as has been his entire career) that Flightline was immediately
It is important to note that when simulcasting of races began four decades ago, an expectation was that betting handle would eventually move to the larger racing venues at the expense of the smaller tracks. This may become a trend which will benefit Saratoga if it continues to put on high quality, competitive racing.
installed as the odds-on favorite for the Breeder’s Cup Classic to be run on the first weekend in November with speculation that the connections of other horses would opt for other races rather than face him there.
Trainer John Sadler, who has judiciously spaced Flightline’s races throughout his career immediately announced Flightline “would train up to the race” with his next start being the Breeder’s Cup Classic. While one cannot argue with success enjoyed by Flightline under Sadler’s care, the brilliance consistently displayed in the horse’s remarkable career has gone completely unnoticed by the general public.
It would be hard to argue that Flightline was not the best horse known by the fewest people. Flightline is partially owned by the aforementioned West Point Thoroughbreds, and it is hoped his career will continue into 2023 before his eventual new career as a stallion. Flightline is breathtaking and racing and its fans would benefit by a 2023 campaign.

SARATOGA SPRINGS
SARATOGA — After an impressive 7-0 nonconference victory over Granville in their sea son opener, the Saratoga Central Catholic boys soccer team fell to Notre Dame Bishop Gibbons in an away match on Saturday, September 3. In a back-and-forth match that NDBG controlled early, the difference-maker was two great individual efforts from NDBG Junior Nicholas Kuban. In the 19th minute, he gathered a loose ball at the top of the SCC box and found the side-netting, just past the outstretched arms of SCC goalkeeper Matt Murphy. In the 2nd half, after a heavy scram ble in the SCC box, Kuban slot ted the ball through traffic, past Murphy once again to secure his brace and a NDBG victory. Central Catholic moves to 1-1-0 on the year. Looking forward, the Saints will continue their season away from home against Berne Knox Westerlo on Friday, September 9 at 4:30 p.m.

To begin her Capital Region visit, King participated in a free ten nis clinic with more than 40 youth players at the Saratoga Regional YMCA Wilton Branch.

I love working with kids - I find it very fulfilling.” King ended her time in the Capital Region at Albany’s
