Amish blossom in Washington County They revive fallow farms, enliven rural life ByLINE: WENDY LIBERATORE

GREENWICH - Amid the fields, farms and forest of Washington County, a new sight has emerged.

In recent months more than a dozen large Amish families have moved into the rural county, establishing farms and lumberyards where they make and sell their wares such as pies and pickles, syrups and sheds.

While it’s also been an adjustment for drivers who have to watch for buggies and code enforcers who must adapt building

regulations to reflect religious beliefs, town officials and residents are unanimous -- the Amish are welcome as they are reviving fallow farms and preserving the county’s rural character.

For the Amish, most of whom recently moved from St. Lawrence County , it was a necessary migration.

“The area we came from was so populated,” said Rachel Miller as she huddled over a pedal-operated sewing machine stitching ribbons for a bonnet or kapp in her new home. “The houses were like (here she chops the air with her hand as a gesture for close proximity). It was too populated for a family to make a living.

Evenfarmland was more bought up. It was

too populated for the family to find a job.”

Miller, who lives on North Road in Greenwich with her husband Henry and 14 children, sells pies, cinnamon buns and jams every day but Sunday, their Sabbath. On Saturdays, their roadside lean-to also features warm Please see AMISH 7

Paving package is smooth move Mechanicville bidding strategy will get six of its streets fully covered ByLINE: KATHLEEN MOORE

MECHANICVILLE - A clever bidding strategy will get the city six completely paved streets instead of just a strip in the middle of each one.

New York State Electric and Gas Corporation is digging up the streets now to replace 1.4 miles of natural gas pipes. The pipes are made of steel, which can leak.

So NYSEG is replacing them with plastic piping, said spokeswoman Kelly Packard.

to repave after they finish their work, but they only pay to pave the portion of the road that was dug up.

“We compensate for the trench only,” Packard said.

But this time, the city of Mechanicville put in a bid when NYSEG put out the paving job for bidders. The city had the lowest bid, but it’s nearly enough for the city to pave curb-to-curb. The city may need to use some state CHIPS funding to finish the job, but the goal is to repave the streets completely, said Public Works Commissioner Anthony Gotti.

Adirondack Balloon Festival Returns this September - Reinvented with Brand-New Events

QUEENSBURY - The nationally-known event, the Adirondack Balloon Festival, is back this September for its 48th year, with a brand-new format, expanding to include a new event at East Field in Glens Falls, multiple launch sites throughout Warren and Washington counties, a drive-through moonglow, and more.

“This will not be the same-old, same-old Adirondack Balloon Festival you know from years past,” says Mark Donahue, President of the organization’s Board of Directors. “Due to COVID, we had to totally reinvent the festival this year. We are excited to bring back the joy and wonder of the mass ascensions, while keeping safe and still having fun. Our group of volunteer organizers has been working around the clock to make this happen, as we know how much it means to the community.”

The 48th annual Adirondack Balloon Festival takes place Thursday to Sunday, September 23 to 26, 2021, in multiple locations. As always, the event is 100% free for the community. Festival Merchandise, one of the event’s biggest fundraisers, will be for sale at select events, with a smaller selection than in previous years.

The Adirondack Balloon Festival’s launches are subject to weather conditions. The balloons cannot fly for safety reasons if it is too windy or if there is inclement weather.

Contact the Adirondack Balloon Festival, a registered 501(c)3, to sponsor this free event for the community and make a tax-deductible contribution to keep the festival going.

AMISH CONTINUED FROM 3

doughnuts, a popular item that sells out quickly. They also sell custom-made sheds, crafted by Henry Miller. And Rachel Miller said by next spring, they will have strawberries.

While happy to sell their products to the “English” (basically anyone who is not Amish), Henry Miller said that his family doesn’t give interviews or allow photos.

He also said that curiosity about the culture, centered, as the Britannica.com explains, on “humility, family, community, and separation from the world,” is baffling.

“We are like everyone else except we have no power, no plumbing, use oil lamps and drive horses with buggies,” Henry Miller said. “We are all human. The only difference is we have a different lifestyle.”

The only one who could approve a deeper discussion, he said, was his brother-inlaw and bishop, Mose Miller. After a few visits to his Cambridge sawmill, finding him not at home, the Times Union finally caught up with him. He, too, kindly declined an interview, but promised to buy a newspaper.

“I sometimes do that,” he said. He did say he has 13 children. Some are grown, but the younger ones will one day have their own plot of land, too.

These large Amish families, said Erik Wesner, author of “Success Made Simple: An Inside Look at Why Amish Businesses Thrive,” is one reason why their population is on the rise in New York state.

His website Amish America tracks their settlements. It indicates that New York is No. 5 on the most populated list with 89 settlements. They are preceeded by Ohio (434), Pennsylvania (401), Indiana (310) and Wisconsin (120). The site also estimated that the state is home to 12,000 Amish, with agricultural land being a main attraction.

“New York state as a whole has been particularly attractive for Amish for the past 10 to 20 years in part because of available farmland,” Wesner said in an email. “So you have Amish from nearby states (Pennsylvania, Ohio, etc.) who have founded new settlements there.”

He also said those from St. Lawrence County are known as Swartzentruber Amish, which he described as the most traditional group. Thus, he explained, their likely reluctance to speak with an outsider.

Neighbors of the Amish have found them delightful. Teresa Manocchia, who lives along the Battenkill River in Cambridge, said the Amish purchase of the land next door saved it from a solar panel array that was proposed on the banks of the river.

“The solar panels would have destroyed

the other side of the river,” Manocchia said. “We were very happy they bought the property. They don’t use chemicals.

They are mindful of the community and helping to keep it agricultural.”

She also said the family is very friendly with the younger girls coming by frequently to help her with her garden.

The bishop’s neighbor, Deborah Whitman, said she’s not thrilled by the 6:30 a.m. hammering she hears from his property. Still, she loves having the Millers as neighbors.

“They are good people,” Whitman said.

“The farm has been empty 21 years. It was sold to people in Connecticut, but nobody was ever there. It’s nice to see someone working the fields with horses..”

The new group moving into Washington County, mainly for farms in Argyle, Cambridge and Greenwich, was preceded by another enclave that moved into Whitehall around 2013. That group, the Post-Star of Glens Falls reported, was mostly from Montgomery County.

Greenwich Town Supervisor Don Ward said Whitehall’s experience has helped Greenwich to learn the ins and outs of accommodating the Amish -- mainly allowing for religious exemptions for their construction.

“They don’t have smoke alarms, fire insurance, electrical items or other safety items,” Ward said. “Their plans for buildings are hand-drawn, but you would think they were done by a computer. But they said they never had a building collapse and if one burns down, they build another.

Some adjustments had to be made. They are compliant with setbacks.”

He also said they pay property taxes and apply for hunting and fishing licenses, just like everyone else. He said another family came to ask about starting a family burial plot on their farm after a newborn died, something New York allows if it is reserved for family and not near water.

“The planning board worked through it,” Ward said.

Ward said he has gotten a few complaints about horse manure on roads, which he said is not problem because it dries quickly and washes away with rain.

His concern is traffic safety. He said he has asked the Amish to add reflective tape or a lantern on the back of their buggies, which they have done. They have refused, however, to add reflective triangles as the symbol goes against their beliefs -- being too gaudy and bright. He said speed limits on winding roads may be reconsidered.

He is impressed by how they “live by their principles, something a lot of people can’t do.”

“It’s definitely been a plus for the community,” Ward said. “When you see all those kids running around outside playing or see the horse and buggy ... It makes your day.”

hasn’t been paved in at least 10 years.

“I am trying to stretch it out,” Gotti said of the NYSEG funding. “The way it stands, I’m only responsible for patching what they have disturbed. But what I’ve done in the past -- when they did First Street (in the spring), I did the whole street. I went to a contractor and said, ‘Look, this is the amount of money I have.’”

Winning the bid was the crucial part of the plan, because it gives him control over how much of the street to pave.

“Now that we’ve won the bid, I reach out to the contractors, see who will work with me, who will give me a good price, I get more paving,” he said.

NYSEG said they try to work with cities and that stretching the money is fine, as

“If they have a balance remaining, how the city uses the balance of the fund is their decision,” Packard said.

NYSEG’s project will be complete in mid-November. The city has already paved the first street affected. The others are: Harris Avenue, South Street, Third Avenue, Park Place and Spring Street.

Depending on how far he can stretch NYSEG’s payment, Gotti said he hopes to also use the CHIPS funds to pave more streets this year.

But first he wants to get the roads that were dug up completely repaved.

“Patches, they never work out. So we can mill and fill from curb to curb instead of just patching that part of the street,” he said. “Instead of paving one line up the street or square patches everywhere.”

Venter gears for 40 at 40 Saint Rose athletics director training for one mile per year alive ByLINE: SHRISHTI MATHEW

GLENMONT - A few months ago, as Ryan Venter's 40th birthday loomed, he decided he wanted to do something that would make a difference and have longterm impact instead of just having a party.

Venter, an athletics director at the College of Saint Rose and a runner, chose to train to run 1 mile to commemorate each year of his life -- more than a marathon and a half in one day -- while also raising donations for the Capital Region YMCA's Circle of Champs program.

The program provides free co-curricular, athletic and summer programs to children battling illness.

PROVIDED BY RYAN VENTER

Venter has been training for his 40-mile run since March. The College of Saint Rose athletics director has been ramping up to run 40 miles on his 40th birthday to commemorate each year of his life and raise money for the Capital Region YMCA’s Circle of Champs program.

Venter's aim was to raise $40 each from 100 people, ultimately donating $4,000 for the program.

"I thought this would be a challenge for myself to see if I can run 40 miles, because I've never run this far," he said. "(The) longest I've ever run is 26.2 miles, a marathon, and I wanted to challenge myself and also give something back to the community, to this program at the YMCA. I thought it was kind of a perfect match to do both."

Venter has been associated with the Capital Region YMCA for a long time, having spent four years as its executive director and continuing as a volunteer when he can.

"I saw the amazing things that the program does in terms of allowing children who are facing lifethreatening illness and their families to go to the YMCA," he said. "To have memberships, to have monthly programming, to do something fun, and to forget about everything. It's a great part of the YMCA that not a lot of people know about."

Venter began training in March with a local running coach, Matt Nark, who has trained a number of local marathon runners. He then set up a website, talking about his journey and blogging every few days with updates from his training sessions.

"Every Sunday, (Nark) gives me my schedule for the week. So it's typically 4 to 5 days a week that I'm running," said Venter. "The past couple weeks have been my longest weeks in terms of the number of miles. I probably ran around 45 or 45 to 50 miles a week, and my actual run will be this week," on Sept 4.

Venter has been practicing in and around his hometown of Bethlehem, where he lives. One of his most favored trails is the Albany County Hudson-Helderberg Rail Trail from Voorheesville to Albany.

The journey has been hard, but he knows to pace himself and not push his limits unhealthily. Preparation and consistency, he said, have been key on this journey.

"I'll actually go out before my run and put one or two Gatorade bottles along the course that I'm running," he said. "Last week, it was a really hot morning, and I had my phone with me and I texted my wife: 'I need some water.

Can you meet me here at this road?' And she came and dropped me off water and helped me get through. So you do have to prepare as much as possible, especially in the heat."

PROVIDED BY RYAN VENTER

Ryan Venter after running the Upstate Classic Marathon in November 2020.

This is what Venter plans to do on his birthday and the day of the run. His trail is mapped out to pass near the homes of family and friends, which will serve as milestones. Some will join him brief ly as running companions, some to provide reinforcements, and all will be there for support. With two weeks to go, he has surpassed his fundraising goal by $1,000 and is optimistic about raising more.

As for what he plans to do after the big run, Venter hopes to enjoy his birthday with family and friends and get some rest. He does believe that this will be the longest run of his life.

He said, "Well, I'm not running 50 miles when I turn 50."

How to create a sunroom As fall inches closer to winter, it’s not uncommon for people to look to the coming cold with a degree of lament.

Spring, summer and fall provide ample opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors, but such chances are few and far between once the winter freeze settles in. Though winter might compel the masses to huddle up inside, there’s still a way to take in the great outdoors on cold winter days and nights.

It might not prove an exact substitute for summer nights around the firepit, but a sunroom affords homeowners a chance to marvel at snowy winter landscapes

without venturing out into the cold. Sometimes referred to as “all-season rooms,” sunrooms can make for a great retreat on quiet summer mornings or crisp autumn afternoons. Sunrooms can be treated as blank canvasses, which makes decorating them more fun. But a few tricks of the trade can help homeowners turn their blank canvasses into welcoming spaces to take in all that nature has to offer throughout the year.

• Define the purpose. The experts at Better Homes & Gardens recommend homeowners decide how they want to use the sunroom before they begin decorating it.

When the weather gets too chilly to dine outside, will the sunroom serve as an alternative dining space in the same way patios and decks do during the warm weather? Or do homeowners want to turn their sunrooms into reading rooms? Though it’s possible to make sunrooms multipurpose spaces, it may be hard to create a relaxing vibe in rooms that are too crowded with furnishings or too busy.

Defining how the space will be used also makes it easier when shopping for furnishings.

• Define when the room will be used. In addition to defining how the room will be used, homeowners should give ample consideration to when the room will be used.

A year-round sunroom will need to be heated, while a three-season sunroom likely won’t require heating.

Cooling might be a concern on hot summer afternoons, but many homeowners will likely spend such days outside anyway, so cooling the room may be as simple as installing a ceiling fan and ensuring windows can be opened to let fresh air in.

Homeowners who want a

year-round sunroom should install insulated glass to keep the room even warmer when the mercury dips.

• Opt for bright colors. Bright colors can make sunrooms feel all the more inviting and make for a perfect match with all the natural light already in the room. The renovation experts at HGTV note that white walls and ceilings can maximize the warm illumination of the natural light that will be pouring in from the floor-toceiling windows. Better Homes & Gardens adds that brightly colored cushions, pillows and area rugs with similarly hued colors and patterns can add visual interest and texture to a sunroom.

• Make use of a view. Homeowners needn’t direct too much of their focus on decor if their sunrooms come with a view. Art on the walls and other decorative items around the room are less important if a sunroom affords a view of the ocean or a lake or dense woods that attract local wildlife. In rooms with a view, arrange furniture so residents and guests can comfortably look outward and take in all the surround landscape has to offer.

Sunrooms are a great place to take in nature no matter the weather.

According to KidsHealth.org, more than one-third of child injuries and deaths happen at home. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that most incidents at home occur where there is water, such as in the bathroom or kitchen; heat or flame, like in the kitchen or around the grill; toxic substances, like those found in medicine cabinets or beneath kitchen sinks; and in places where kids can fall, such as on staircases.

When remodeling a home with the ultimate goal of making it more attractive to prospective buyers, homeowners can benefit from taking stock of current trends, including the style of home that’s most popular. Accord-

ing to a 2020 Homes.com survey of more than 5,000 adults across the United States, modern farmhouse is the most favored house style. The survey asked participants to choose from a selection of styles, including mid-century modern ranch, Spanish colonial/southwest, bohemian craftsman, Italianate, French chateau, and Tudor. The

modern farmhouse style was the most popular choice in 42 of the 50 states, proving that home style preference is not beholden to geography. Respondents gave a host of reasons for favoring the modern farmhouse look, including that the style is “aesthetically appealing but not boring” and that it looks “simple, cozy, and not too busy.”
