SARATOGA SPRINGS — After an impressive Suburban Council win, the Saratoga Springs Varsity Boys Golf is headed to the state tournament in the spring.

Placing ahead of Shenendehowa and Shaker, the Saratoga Varsity Boys Golf Team became the Suburban Council champions by 19 strokes, with all boys scoring under 80. Since their Suburban Council win, they have competed in sectionals and state qualifiers.

“In sectionals we shot in 3rd place and were 7 strokes off the lead, but they rebounded at the state qualifiers and took 3 of the 11 spots at the state tournament,” said Jake Zanetti, Varsity Boys Golf Coach.

Competing at the state tournament this spring will be Kellen Dean and Carter Sica, with Declan Ladd as a second alternate.

“They put pressure on themselves for a perfect season,” said Zanetti. “They want to be undefeated, they want to win the Suburban Council, and sectionals, and make it to the state tournament.”

The Gold Star Mother Pilgrimage

O

n May 13, 1930, two Saratoga County women set out on an all-expense paid dream trip. Sailing from New York City harbor on the S.S. Republic, they would be welcomed in Paris by French and American officials and put up in one of the most expensive hotels in the city. After visiting the sites in and around Paris, they would stop in London on the way home where they received the same first-class treatment.

It should have been one of the finest times of their lives, but it wasn’t. They were going to visit the graves of their sons who had died during the Great War. In 1921, the government had offered to bring home all of the fallen and the families of about 40,000 agreed.

But about 30,000 families choose to let their loved ones rest where they fell with their comrades.

In 1929 Congress enacted legislation that authorized the secretary of war to arrange for pilgrimages to the European cemeteries “by mothers and widows of members of military and naval forces of the United States who died in the service at any time between April 5, 1917, and July 1, 1921, and whose remains are now interred in such cemeteries.” By October 31, 1933, when the project ended, 6,693 women had made the pilgrimage.

Almost all of the participants were mothers, rather than widows, so the trips came to be known at the Gold Star Mother Pilgrimage, the

The Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery.

gold star being the symbol hung in the windows of those families who had lost a family member in the service of their country.

The Saratoga mothers were Mrs. George Gurtler from Saratoga and Mrs. Caroline Cady from Greenfield, both of whom lost their sons in October 1918 as the war was ending. Mrs. Gurtler was the mother of Corporal William and Private George Gurtler Jr., both of whom served with the National Guard on the Mexican border prior to World War I and with the 105th Infantry, 27th Division during the War. On October 20, 1918, as the Division was attacking the Hindenburg Line, both were killed in action and are buried together in the Somme American Cemetery. The Saratoga Veterans of Foreign Wars Post is named in their memory.

Mrs. Cady’s son was Private Melville Cady who served with the 1st. Division. In July, 1918, the 22-year-old soldier was wounded by shrapnel but returned to action in August and was killed on Oct. 14, 1918. He is buried in the MeuseArgonne American Cemetery.

There were nine American Cemeteries in France and Belgium, so the women were divided into groups and bused to the appropriate site. They visited the cemeteries for several days in a row, for approximately an hour each day for a grave site visit.

Three other mothers from the county – Mrs. Alice Perkins, Mrs. Clarence Walton and Mrs. Clancy Record were too ill to travel.

From 1930 until 1933, 6,500 mothers and widows were reunited with their loved ones for the last time but in 1933 the government was forced to end the program due to the Depression.

Paul Perreault has been the Malta Town Historian since 2009. He served as principal in the Ballston Spa School District from 1978 until 1998 and as a history teacher at Shenendehowa High School from 1967 until 1975. He is a member of the Association of Public Historians of New York State, the Saratoga County History Roundtable and the Ballston Spa Rotary Club.

Saratoga County Office for The Aging Makes Urgent Request For Volunteers BALLSTON SPA — The Saratoga County Office for the Aging is in urgent need of volunteers to deliver meals to homebound seniors throughout Saratoga County.

This important program helps many seniors, age 60 and older, remain independent in their homes by providing them with a nutritious ready-to-eat lunch each weekday. Seniors also have the option to receive a frozen meal they may enjoy later for dinner.

The Saratoga County Office for the Aging needs delivery volunteers so the agency may return to delivering fresh, hot meals each weekday. Throughout the pandemic, the program provided frozen meals once a week.

Volunteers are especially needed in the Saratoga, Schuylerville, Hadley, Edinburg, Galway, Greenfield, Malta,

Mechanicville, Moreau, and Wilton areas.

Meals are prepared, packed, and ready for transport at 11 a.m., Monday through Friday. Volunteers simply pick up meals at one of nine sites throughout the county and deliver them to a pre-determined list of participating seniors.

Delivery typically takes about an hour. Volunteers’ schedules are flexible to meet their availability.

To become a volunteer, individuals must submit paperwork, including references, to the Saratoga County Office for the Aging. Volunteers must have a valid driver’s license and their own vehicle. Training and orientation are provided to all volunteers. Those interested in becoming a volunteer may contact Billie Jo McConkey at the Saratoga County Office for the Aging at 518-363-4020 for details.

Sustainable Saratoga Releases Restaurant Sustainability Guide To Help Local Restaurants Go Green Saratoga Springs — Over the last year, a small group of Sustainable Saratoga volunteers, led by Marlaina Murphy, have been putting together a sustainability guide for local restaurants. The goal of the project was to create a comprehensive but easy-to-follow guidebook filled with options for restaurants to consider adopting to make their business more sustainable.

The guide includes information on how to power your business with renewable energy; strategies for reducing energy use; easy ways to reduce food waste; tips to increase recycling and reduce plastic waste production; and much more. The guide also contains specific links for restaurant owners to explore options that are the best fit for their business.

Becoming more sustainable can be good for business too.

Surveys show that many consumers care about the sustainability practices of the places they frequent and are willing to

pay more for goods and services when the business is environmentally friendly. Another reason for going green – there are often government incentives available for

businesses that undergo energy efficiency improvements.

William Douglas Lindsay Jr.

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Some 28 driving miles east of Montpelier, Vermont, on the west shore of Groton Pond, sits a century-old camp that will never be the same. This is because Astenrogen (place among the rocks), lost on October 23, 2021, its patriarch and proudest occupant, William Douglas Lindsay Jr. Doug, as he was known throughout his 81 years, passed away peacefully in his Saratoga Springs home while surrounded by family.

Doug was born on March 9, 1940, to Dr. William Douglas Lindsay and Helena Lindsay (Pembroke) in Montpelier, VT. Along with his four sisters, the precocious boy spent his formative years between his two favorite places, home and the family camp on Vermont’s Groton Pond. He attended public school locally before venturing to Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, NY, where in 1962 he earned a Bachelor of Science in Political Science accompanied by a minor in American History.

It was immediately upon graduation that Lindsay began his life of service. He enlisted in the Army National Guard during

the tumultuous Vietnam War epoch, serving six years, before volunteering for and earning membership in the Peace Corps.

After, Lindsay began his working life with Dunn and Bradstreet and then the National Institute of Health. During an afternoon hike in 1969, Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas suggested Lindsay apply to work for the National Park Service. He did and spent the remainder of his career serving that organization.

His first stop was in 1971 as the National Park Service’s inaugural Site Manager for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C. Following a successful tour, his responsibilities increased when National Park Service leadership saw fit to place Washington’s most famous monuments and memorials under his tutelage where he oversaw the city’s bicentennial celebrations; a street was named in his honor for his contributions.

Next—in a desire to find his way closer to his beloved Vermont— came the superintendent position at Massachusetts’ historic Springfield Armory before capping off a triumphant career as Superintendent of the Saratoga National Historical Park, better known as the Saratoga Battlefield.

Here he was responsible for leading the 220th and 225th anniversary celebrations of what most believe was the turning point of the Revolutionary War while simultaneously managing an extensive effort to return to its original state the battlefield‘s vegetation and landscape.

Although Lindsay’s life was filled with numerous professional accomplishments, to him, they were near meaningless when compared to his roles as father,

His wife Sheila Conway of Wilton; daughters Noreen O’Dea (Frank Lyons) of Wilton, Catherine Lindsay of Binghamton, and Meghan Lindsay (Jonathon Molik), also of Wilton; sisters Susan Lindsay (Robert Youker) of Bethesda, MD, Joan Lindsay (William Johnson) of Oxbo, ME, Anne Lindsay of Washington D.C., and Jane Lindsay (predeceased); grandchildren Timothy O’Dea, Chelsea O’Dea, Nicholas Lyons, Madigan Lyons, Ethan Molik, and Kendall Molik; and two great-grandchildren will forever remember him as the most humble, compassionate, empathic, and jovial person they had the pleasure of loving. Whether spitting out dates from esoteric foreign wars amid a dinner of Maryland hard-shell crab, opining on which family of lilac grows best in Vermont during halftime of a Washington Football Team game, to taking his toddler-aged daughters on special camp trips to give Mommy a well-deserved break, or directing family members helping maintain Astenrogen, the incomparable Doug Lindsay left a positive imprint on everyone he touched. His class and character were such that all who met him were better for having done so.

Relatives and friends may call from 4 to 6 p.m., Thursday, November 4 at the William J Burke & Sons/Bussing & Cunniff Funeral Homes, 628 North Broadway Saratoga Springs (518-584-5373).

Letters TO THE EDITOR

Week of October 29 – November 4, 2021

PAID POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT.

Let’s remember the real Ron Kim. When he was Commissioner of Public Safety, Ron Kim proposed spending millions to build a 30,000-square foot palace for the police. Plus, he petulantly stomped out of an ongoing City Council meeting after our other city leaders refused to follow him down this needless and expensive hole. I know this is true: I was in the city hall conference room attending this meeting when this happened.

We need someone who will actually provide steady leadership and can solve problems. We need Heidi West for Mayor.

- Bonnie Sellers, Saratoga Springs As a lifelong Democrat and former chair of the Saratoga Springs Democratic Committee, I am dismayed by the tactics being used by Democrats in this year’s city elections. In mailings and lawn signs Democratic candidates are suggesting falsely that democracy in Saratoga will be threatened if Republicans win city council seats. This tactic is offensive and divisive. Nearly half the registered voters in Saratoga Springs are Republicans. They are our neighbors and our friends. Many of the candidates have lived in Saratoga all their lives and have served the city in many capacities including elected office. The Democratic candidates should address the local issues where they may legitimately disagree with the Republicans. A commitment to democracy is not one of those.

- Jane Weihe, Saratoga Springs At its fundamental core, politics is local and this election Saratogians have a clear choice to elect a local slate of candidates that are focused on local issues that will move Saratoga Springs forward in a positive direction.

The Republican endorsed slate is the most dynamic, diverse and qualified slate of candidates this city has ever seen and includes an unprecedented four incredible women running for city council. We have a small business owner and political independent for Mayor, a certified public accountant for Finance, a Domestic Violence Advocate for Accounts, a no-nonsense name we can trust for Public Safety, a proven, well-regarded Commissioner of Public Works and compassionate and proven taxpayer watchdogs for County Supervisor. The overwhelming issue facing Saratoga Springs is safety and the notion of our city being a safe place to live and raise a family has been called into question as of late. If you value a safe and vibrant Saratoga, back our police and are tired of protesters blocking our streets and harassing patrons at restaurants, the team on Row B are your candidates. When casting your vote this election cycle, whether it be by absentee, early voting or on Election Day on November 2nd, Heidi Owen West for Mayor, JoAnne Kiernan for Finance, Samantha Guerra for Accounts, Tracey LaBelle for Public Safety, Skip Scirocco for Public Works and Matt Veitch and John Safford for County Supervisor (Vote for 2) are the candidates that have Saratogians’ best interests and safety at hand and will get the job done with integrity and civility.

- Chris Obstarczyk, Chairman, Saratoga Springs Republican Committee In this year’s election, the current Saratoga Springs Commissioner of Public Safety is the best choice for Mayor of Saratoga Springs. The other candidates have lots of promises, but Commissioner Dalton has lots of accomplishments. After taking office in 2020, Commissioner Dalton immediately took charge of the City’s successful effort to protect Saratogians from the COVID-19 pandemic. She searched every day for vaccine supplies and then secured appointments for residents to be among the first to receive life-saving vaccinations. Then she led the City’s response to the nationwide wave of demonstrations against racial injustice, calmly assuring that the right to protest was respected and that protesters and the rest of the community were protected from violence. Under her leadership during the worst financial crisis in the City’s history, not even a single police officer or firefighter was laid off, and despite claims to the contrary, Saratoga Springs continues to be one of the safest small cities in the United States. After more than twenty years of discussion, debate, and delay, she became the first Public Safety Commissioner to win City Council funding and approval of the longneeded third emergency services station on the City’s east side, and then implementing the approval by awarding on September 7, 2021, a contract for construction management which will allow for a start of construction by Spring 2022. To continue Robin Dalton’s successful leadership, vote for her as Mayor on November 2nd on ballot line F, the Saratoga Stronger Together line.

Ballston Spa Mayor Suddenly Resigns, Cites ‘Unproductive Relationship with the Board’

by Thomas Dimopoulos Saratoga TODAY

BALLSTON SPA — Nearing the conclusion of a meeting of the Ballston Spa Board of Trustees Oct. 25, village Mayor Larry Woolbright read for the better part of 20 minutes from a prepared statement that announced his resignation as mayor, effective Oct. 29.

“To be honest, lately it’s been a constant battle just to be able to do my job,” he said. “I apologize for not fulfilling my entire four-year term, but I find my current situation untenable, and I must step down.”

Woolbright was elected in March 2019 and became the

village’s first new mayor in nearly a quarter-century, succeeding John Romano who had held the office since 1995.

“My unproductive relationship with the Board of Trustees is the sole reason for this decision,” Woolbright explained. “The relationship has become more strained and adversarial. The trustees block me at every turn, and their attitude toward community members and village staff is not always consistent with my idea of how the village and friends should operate.”

Since taking office, Woolbright said he navigated the village from a $300,000 deficit to a $2.5 million surplus, building

a fund balance which he said should be spent on things like the maintenance and replacement of aging village equipment and its infrastructure. The board, he said, is more focused on “important but not urgent” needs. “How will we pay for these essential needs if we spend our surplus on trees and invasive weeds… I’m sorry, but to fritter it away on niceties when we still lack necessities is the height of irresponsibility.”

Following the meeting, village attorney Stephanie Ferradino also announced she will be resigning her position.

Village government is headed by the mayor and four trustees, who together form Ballston Spa’s local legislative body. Each member serves a four-year term.

Woolbright clarified that his “negative comments” do not apply to Christine Fitzpatrick, whom he called “a model trustee.”

Fitzpatrick also serves as village deputy mayor. The four-member trustee board has the power to temporarily fill the mayoral vacancy by majority vote, or to allow the deputy mayor to temporarily fill that vacancy. Should the deputy mayor/trustee ascend to that position, they then would singularly be charged with appointing a member for their vacated trustee seat. Either way, a Special Election would need to take place in 2022.

“Even though the next scheduled election is in 2023, there would have to be a Special Election next year for the unexpired portion of the term for the

mayor who just resigned – even if the board appoints someone to fill the vacancy now or in the near future,” explained Peter Baynes, Executive Director and CEO at the New York State Conference of Mayors, or NYCOM. “It has been an honor to serve as your mayor. I believe I am leaving

the village in better shape than I found it,” Woolbright concluded.

The announcement seemed to take the members of the board of trustees by surprise. Following Woolbright’s 20-minute reading of his statement, trustees on the board individually thanked the mayor for his service.

City Moves to Name Southside Recreation Center for Former Mayor

by Thomas Dimopoulos Saratoga TODAY

SARATOGA SPRINGS — After serving as a temporary emergency center where officials conducted the city’s business, the gleaming floors inside the Saratoga Springs Recreational Center once again reflect the passion of childhood games, and the Vanderbilt Avenue center itself will soon be granted a name.

Following up on a city Recreation Commission recommendation made last year, city Finance Commissioner Michele Madigan last week brought a resolution to the council table, which was unanimously approved, to name the southside facility the Scott T. Johnson Recreation Center.

Johnson, who served three two-year terms as Saratoga Springs mayor from 2007-2013, is largely credited for helping make the long-talked-about recreation facility a reality.

“After 16 years of feasibility studies, it’s finally built,” then-Mayor Johnson announced on a July 2010 day when the near-34,000 square foot building opened. It boasted a court capable of four simultaneous full-court basketball games, and separate rooms reserved for meetings as well as games of racquetball and squash.

The $6.5 million facility had been more than a decade in the making. It faced legal hurdles, City Council debates, outspoken community protests and a series of legal challenges prior to its public unveiling in the summer of 2010. The entire project had been bonded for $6.5 million by previous administrations and was completed for about $6 million. Shortly after he was elected to office in January 2008, Johnson advocated moving the project from the city’s east side to the south side - a location that would provide city youth with easier walking access to the facility, Johnson said at the time.

Madigan read a communication from Johnson that reported he was humbled and honored by the recognition, and thanked members of his former staff, the

recreation department and former city council members for helping get the job done. “You all shared in the achievement of finally making it happen and obviously, it was the right thing to do.”

Current Accounts Commissioner John Franck, who also held a seat at the council table during Johnson’s administration, said the location of the center has been beneficial to city businesses in funneling people downtown.

“Scott and I are from different parties, but I give him a lot of credit for his vision, for putting it (in a place) where kids can ride their bikes and go to, because the big push was to put it out on Weibel,

next to the ice-skating rink,” Franck said. “Being the third vote (in favor), I took a lot of pounding from my own party on this. I was the only Democrat to vote for this, it was a 3-2 vote and there were a lot of lawsuits,” Franck said.

The city turned to the center as an emergency location to site operations in 2018, after City Hall had been rendered inoperable due to a lightning strike and flood damage.

“That building was a real life-saver for the city,” said current Mayor Meg Kelly. “It allowed the city to function and was a great emergency center for us as a City Hall.”

SSCSD BOARD OF EDUCATION WORKSHOP (OCT. 26) SARATOGA SPRINGS — Saratoga Springs City School District held a Board of Education workshop on Oct. 26 to discuss the ongoing Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) efforts in the district.

District-Wide DEI Committee The District-Wide DEI Committee meets once a month for one hour.

All meetings are open for the public to watch via WebEx. The Committee is divided into subcommittees to focus on the following: curriculum and instruction, culture and climate, communications, hiring and retention practices, policy, and a steering committee.

There are four open community spots on the committee. If you are interested in applying for a spot, please visit the District’s website at www.saratogaschools.org to fill out the SSCSD Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee Interest Form by Friday, Oct. 29.

Examples of SSCSD Past and Present DEI Work The Board of Education was presented with examples of past and present work done by the committee aligning with the DEI framework. This includes, but is not limited to, the following: the school website and school messenger has a language translation feature for multiple languages; PSAT costs

are offset by the district for all students, with 800 sophomores and juniors taking advantage of that this past year; AP classes are open enrollment, meaning no prerequisites; the district has Best Buddies and Unified Sports programs; the teacherrun Community SnackPack Program provides meals to students and their families in need over the weekend; review of hiring and retention practices; and curriculum renewal with an equity lens, meaning textbooks and materials are reflective of the student population.

Demographics Leading into BEDS Day demographics, in which enrolled students and staff self-identified themselves into cohorts, from 2012 to 2021 there was a significant increase in multiracial students. There was also a 2% increase in economically disadvantaged students.

From 2018 to 2021, there was increase in graduation rate of all students, regardless of self-identified cohort, from 91.1% to 93.8%.

There was also an increase from

57% to 64.9% of students who graduated with an Advanced Regents Diploma.

Looking at the demographics, the committee should be able to determine trends and track what programs, intervention, support, and other DEI efforts are successful.

Generation Ready Partnership The SSCSD had partnered with Anna Muñoz from Generation Ready to guide their work and align them with the NYSED (or NYS Board of Regents) DEI and CR-S Framework that came out in the spring. It is recommended that schools in our state adopt the NYSED framework, but it is not required.

Some elements the district has taken from the NYS Board of Regents framework is: governance, the 1st step, to establish a DEI Committee; teaching and learning; family and community engagement; workforce diversity; diverse schools and learning opportunities; and student supports, discipline, and wellness.

To view the complete framework, visit www.regents.nysed.gov/common/regents/files/421brd1.pdf.

In the workshop, Muñoz led the board members through an activity about the power of labels and how perspective influences how we interpret and respond to situations, and the implications that has as an educator.

What’s Next?

During the 2021-2022 school year, the DEI Committee will continue to work on aligning the district with NYSED/NYS Board of Regents DEI and CR-S Framework.

Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Michael Patton said they are willing to have an open forum with community members to address their concerns about the DEI policies, but that it will most likely be scheduled for the spring of 2022.

It was also brought up that several 2nd grade teachers have concerns with two unnamed books in the current curriculum. Administrators are aware and working to address the concerns. If a teacher has any DEI concerns regarding their curriculum or teaching materials, they should address it with their respective principal.

The boys designed their own cars and feetpowered them around the parentdeveloped grass oval track. During the race there were pit stops for tire air, fuel, windshield washing,

driver refreshments, and a game of Red Light, Green Light. An unexpected visitor was Saratoga Springs Mounted Patrol’s King Tut. From exploring nature yearround to racing Scout-built cars at the January Pinewood Derby to summer outdoor activities, elementary grade Cub Scouts have year-round fun with friends

while learning a wide range of skills. For more information about Pack 4016, contact Unit Commissioner John Koch (saratogascouter@kochny.com, 518-644-4438) or visit beascout. org to see all of the local units.

ALBANY — Middle and high school students will receive a firsthand look at exciting careers in the technology sector when volunteers from CanCode Communities and Microsoft visit eight classrooms across the Capital Region during October.

Held in conjunction with the Microsoft Employee Giving Program, the first-ever event will pair Microsoft volunteers with members of CanCode Communities. Microsoft volunteers will discuss their personal career journeys, sharing how they became interested in the tech field and the steps they’ve taken along the way. They will also highlight desirable tech careers to help open students’ minds to the possibilities of working in the high-tech sector.

Meanwhile, members of CanCode Communities will discuss the organization’s innovative approach to training non-traditional talent – from coding and software courses to hands-on K-12 programs and community digital literacy workshops – to pursue growing opportunities in the technology field.

“We’re thrilled to work closely with Microsoft to help students discover the exciting world of technology careers,” said CanCode Communities Founder and CEO Annmarie Lanesey. “We hope to inspire students to envision their own bright futures, and ensure they know that if they have the interest and passion, great opportunities

await them in the tech field.”

CanCode Communities and Microsoft initially began working together over the summer through the launch of Microsoft’s Accelerate: New York program, which provides a pathway from skilling to employment for community members in the tri-state area to bridge the digital skills divide and route people to diverse and equitable hiring and reemployment opportunities.

Each year Microsoft dedicates the Month of October to helping charities through its annual Giving Campaign.

Microsoft matches times that its employees volunteer in the community, donating an annually designated amount per hour to the eligible organizations they serve.

Through this effort, they are helping nonprofit organizations – in this case, CanCode Communities – to educate students about essential technology and skills.

W HIGH ROCK PARK Wednesdays | 3 - 6 p.m.

Saturdays | 9 - 1 p.m.

ith Halloween quickly approaching, it’s time to start planning your spooky snack spreads. Candy and desserts are the stars of this holiday, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables in a fun way too.

The farmers’ market is the perfect place to get your shopping done to incorporate fresh, local produce into your Halloween celebrations this year. Whether you’re cooking for a crowd or just a small gathering, here are a couple of festive recipes that are sure to impress.

Jack-O’-Lantern Stuffed Peppers Photo by Madison Jackson

Jack-O ’-Lantern Stuffed Peppers

Cut off the tops of 3 orange bell peppers and set them aside. Remove and discard the cores and seeds. Carve a Jack O’ Lantern face into each pepper using a sharp knife. Drizzle the inside of each pepper with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Set the peppers in a baking dish along with the pepper tops.

In a large skillet, stir together 1 ½ cups uncooked white rice, one diced bell pepper, one diced onion, 2 medium to large diced tomatoes, 2 ½ cups vegetable broth, and 2 tbsp of taco seasoning. Stir and bring to a simmer—cover and cook for 20 minutes on low. Once cooked, add in one can of black beans and one cup of corn.

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Fill peppers with rice mixture and top with shredded cheese.

Cover the peppers in the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove cover and bake for 10 more minutes until peppers are tender. Place the tops on the peppers and enjoy your Jack-O’-Lantern stuffed peppers! Adapted from the recipe by Ayla Rianne.

Chocolate Covered Mummy & Ghost Apples

Wash your apples of choice and pat dry. Slice thinly into ¼” slices and remove any seeds/ stem. Insert popsicle sticks.

Add chopped dark or milk chocolate and 1 tbsp of coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each time. In another bowl melt white chocolate.

To make ghost apples, dip your apple slices into the white chocolate and place on a parchment paper-lined tray. Then use the dark chocolate to make your ghost’s face.

To make a mummy, dip your apple slices into the dark chocolate, then use a spoon to drizzle the white chocolate and add eyes.

You can also add a variety of other toppings as desired like melted peanut butter, nuts, chopped candy, caramel and more! Adapted from recipe by Pastry & Beyond.

However you choose to spend this Halloween, we hope you can enjoy some sweet treats such as these. You can stop by the market this Saturday, October 30, from 9 a.m.

-1 p.m. at High Rock Park to pick up some supplies. This week marks the end of our outdoor summer season so we will be celebrating with some extra fall fun on Saturday.

These markets will include children’s activities, a “guess the weight” pumpkin contest, giveaways, live music, trick-or-treating, and more!

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 through the end of October. The market will be open on Saturdays from 9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. in the Wilton Mall Food Court starting November 6.

HALLOWEEN MEMORIES Hello my Foodie Friends !

It’s that time of year for me to share my annual Halloween memories.

Halloween is only a few shorts days away and for the little chefs out there, the excitement is building. In looking back on my childhood on a certain Halloween night, the four Reardon children, John 8, Danny

by John Reardon 7, Billy 6 and Patty 5 would be almost too excited to eat our dinner before we went trick or treating. My mother knew she had to prepare for Saratoga TODAY something we would all like and it was always her homemade pastina chicken broth soup that we could not resist. We would get our little bodies fueled up and were ready to take on the neighborhood.

Also in my childhood, it was a big thing to have homemade costumes and our moms worked overtime to have the cutest kids. Store-bought costumes were a sign of no imagination. On Halloween evening, the four of us would set off with orders to stay together or else. I was told that since I was the oldest it was my job

n e k c i h C Pastina p u o S h t o r B

to keep a count on my brothers and sisters or I would lose my candy.

My sister Patty was always the first to run out of gas followed by my brother Billy. So, we would have to get them back home and Dan and I would start out again. My brother Dan could outlast us all, but my problem was that he always had to stop and admire someone’s car or truck. The Dads of these houses were always impressed that a sevenyear-old knew more about his car than they did. We did manage to fill our pillow cases with lots of candy and then with tired feet head home.

The next two weeks were spent dipping into our stash of candy.

INGREDIENTS

As I think of those childhood Halloween nights, I can still taste and smell the soup my mother made. Chicken broth is a staple in most Italian households. You can rest assured that there will be a few quarts in the freezer at all times. You need a really good homemade broth to make pastina, vegetable soups, risottos, sauces, and chicken dishes.

CHICKEN BROTH:

• 2 stalks of celery

SOUP:

• 1 Whole Chicken 3 ½ pounds with neck and giblets

• 1 small handful of fresh parsley sprigs plus 3 tablespoons chopped parsley

• Using 6 cups chicken broth

• 4 cloves garlic smashed and peeled

• 4 sprigs fresh thyme

• 1 cup pastina

• 2 large carrots cut into 1-inch slices

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 2 medium parsnips cut into 1-inch slices

• 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper

• 1 medium onion, quartered

• 3 1/2 quarts cold water • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

• 1 - 2-inch piece of Parmesan cheese rind • 2 cups diced cooked chicken, preferably breast meat • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Sea salt to taste.

INSTRUCTIONS Start with homemade Chicken broth made with a Soup Sock: 1. In a soup sock or cheese cloth, place the chicken, neck, giblets, onion, garlic, carrots, parsnips, celery, parsley sprigs, and thyme. Close the open end of the sock by either tying a knot with the mesh ends or using butcher’s twine.

2. Place the tied cheese cloth or soup sock in a large stock pot. Pour in the water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Skim the liquid. Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper. Reduce the heat to moderately low, set on the cover askew, and simmer gently so the liquid is just bubbling, for 50 minutes.

3. Use tongs to turn the tied cheese cloth around in the pot so the knotted end is facing up. Using a pot holder or kitchen towel to grab the end, carefully lift the bag from the stock and place it in a large bowl. Transfer the bag to a carving board with grooves to capture the juices. As juices collect in the grooves, lift up the board and pour the juices back into the cooking pot.

4. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, cut a long slit in the sock. Cut or pull the chicken from the bones and cut the meat into bite-size pieces, discarding the skin and bones. Transfer to a container. Cut the carrots and parsnips into pieces and add to the chicken. Cover and refrigerate.

Pastina Chicken Broth Soup Instructions: In a large stockpot, bring the homemade chicken broth and Parmesan rind to a boil over mediumhigh heat. Add the tiny pastina noodles and cook until the pasta is tender for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the chicken if used, and heat through about 3 minutes.

Remove the Parmesan rind and discard. Stir in 1/2 of the cheese. Season with sea salt to taste.

Ladle into soup bowls and sprinkle with the remaining cheese, if desired. Serve with warm, crusty Italian bread for sopping up any extra broth.

Fill up your trick or treaters with something that will keep them warm during the chilly Halloween evening this year.

Stop by Compliments to the Chef, your Neighborhood Kitchen and Cutlery store located at 33 Railroad Place to assist with your heartwarming treats. We carry the supplies you will need to make your chilly night soups. Remember my Foodie Friends that “Life Happens in the Kitchen!”

Take Care, John & Paula

SCC CELEBRATES TWO COACHING CAREERS

by Jaynie Ellis

Saratoga TODAY SARATOGA SPRINGS — Saratoga Central Catholic held a ceremony on Saturday, Oct. 23 to celebrate the coaching careers of Bill Dalrymple and Bob King ’55; they unveiled the dedication of the gym to Coach Dalrymple and the dedication of the court to Coach King.

“They were leaders on and off the court,” said Athletic Director Alphonse Lambert. “They taught more than just basketball, but also life’s lessons. Their success is evident – winning more than 75% of games.”

Coach Bill Dalrymple was a boys varsity basketball coach from 1947-1978, with an overall record of 384-161. He coached the St. Peter’s Academy/Saratoga Central Catholic Varsity Basketball Team from 1971-1978 and has a career record of 113-36; at .758, he has the highest winning percentage in school history.

With four basketball section championships and numerous league championships at Saratoga Springs High School under his belt, Coach Dalrymple moved across town to coach at St. Peter’s High School; becoming the first coach in school history to coach in the Section 2 basketball tournament and to win a sectional game.

His 1973 St. Peter’s team is still the only sports team in school history to win a state championship, and his 1977 Saints made

it all the way to the NYSPHSAA Final 4.

Coach Dalrymple was inducted into the City of Saratoga Springs Hall of Fame in 1994, the St. Peter’s/SCC Hall of Fame in 1999, the Saratoga Springs High School Hall of Fame in 2011, and the Capital District Hall of Fame also in 2011.

Matt Winn ’75 was coached

by Dalrymple and explained how the coach had an impact on him and his teammates.

“He taught us how to be leaders, and how to get acclimated into adulthood,” said Winn of the transition going from JV to Varsity and sophomore year to junior year.

“Coach Dalrymple and Coach King had a profound effect on years of people,” added Winn regarding the dedication. “This is well deserved for both of them” Coach Bob King began his coaching career at St. Peter’s as the JV Basketball coach from 1964-1971; becoming the Varsity Boys Basketball Coach from 1978-1995, with a career record of 263-103, 12 league championships, and 6 Section 2 finals appearances.

His 1989 Saints, undefeated in the Northern Conference, won the Section 2 Class C-CC Championship and Regional Championship and advanced to the NYSPHSAA Final 4.

Coach King was inducted into the St. Peter’s/SCC Hall of Fame in 1999, and most recently,

the Upstate New York Basketball Hall of Fame in 2021.

“When we lost, although it didn’t happen often, he would take the blame himself that he didn’t do enough to prepare us,”

Marie Dalrymple; Rene LeRoux ’74, Executive Director of the NYS Basketball Hall of Fame; and Mike Dalrymple presenting the dedication plaque. Photos provided.

said Larry Hart ’82, reflecting on his time playing for Coach King.

“It was exhilarating to walk onto the court being the best team out there,” added Lou Maggiore ’78, who had winning seasons

playing for both coaches.

“They cared about you, about getting to you know you,” said Maggiore. “We were taught how to win graciously, to bring 100%, and to leave it all on the court.”

Saratoga Varsity Boys Golf:

ON PAR FOR STATES continued from front page...

Zanetti noted that in addition to the boys’ own determination and hard work, a great deal of their success can be credited to local instructors and pros like Anders Mattson, Bob Cain, Kevin Hughes, and Brandon Risler.

“They pump out high level junior and youth golfers year-in and out, and dedicate countless hours of time and energy into our players,” said Zanetti.

The team alternates between practicing and hosting opponents at both Saratoga Spa State Park

and McGregor Links Country Club. Zanetti mentioned that owners Bill Richardson at the Spa and Joe Kehn at McGregor have been generous and accommodating getting the boys on the courses.

“It is a great partnership with the community,” said Zanetti.

“Michael Decker, the first-year pro at McGregor, and his staff have been excellent throughout the entire season in juggling schedules and providing tee times, as well as a top-rate golf course. The boys feel very ‘at home’ at both courses.”

MALAGA, SPAIN – Ari Berliner (23) from the Jason Morris Judo Center in Glenville, won a 66 kg bronze medal in the European Open in Malaga, Spain on Saturday, Oct. 23.

Berliner defeated Scott Thomson (England) and Bruno Barros (Portugal) before losing in the quarterfinal to Ben Gomes (France). Berliner dropped to the

losers’ bracket and beat Diego Fernandez (Spain) and Adrian Nieto (Spain) in the bronze medal match. This was Berliner’s first major medal on the International Judo Federation Tour which bodes very well for his hopes to make it to the 2024 Olympics in Paris, France. Ari jumps up to a career high #57 on the world ranking list in 66kg with this result.

BALLSTON SPA — The Ballston Spa Lions Club, the Ballston Spa Rotary, and the Village of Ballston Spa are partnering on several projects aimed at updating and beautifying areas of the Village. The purpose of this joint effort is to make the community more inviting and eye-catching to residents and visitors. Both the Lions Club and Rotary have always been committed to improving the Ballston community. The Lions Club International is promoting this type of joint service projects in their “Celebrate Community” program as proclaimed by Lions International President Douglas X. Alexander.

The Village Administrator of Ballston Spa has identified several areas of the village that need updating, painting, and other maintenance. The monuments

in Veterans Park, the picnic tables, the Bollards and the Pool House in Kelly Park, and the Community Bulletin Board are all in need of repair and/or painting.

This will be an ongoing working relationship between the two clubs well into the future.

Caring citizens of the community met recently at the Bulletin Board to begin collaborating and planning work projects focused on the areas needing care. Representing the Village of Ballston Spa: Trustee Liz Kormos and Trustee Christine Fitzpatrick. Representing the Rotary: Kathi Leigh (President), Jere Blackwelder, and Doug Ford (Vice President of Curtis Lumber). Representing the Lions: Frank Blair (President), Ed Hersh (Past President), Ed Moore, Mike Yates, Megan Guilmette, and Louis Laquidara.
