Welcome to Saratoga!

Chris Vallone Bushee • Creative Director / Managing Editor cBushee@SaratogaPublishing.com • (518) 581-2480 ext.201 saratogaTODAYnewspaper.com

...and to Welcome Home, your (Award-Winning!) go-to-guide for Life in the Saratoga Region!

When I’m describing this magazine to people, I tend to call it a phone book on steroids and everyone knows exactly which one I’m talking about, and they immediately say…

“Oh, I love that magazine!”

Even with missing dates due to our current situation and needing to check websites for last minute info, this is still a great resource!

We’ve been doing this guide since 2008, and every year, I’m amazed at what this area offers!

Whether you’re just moving here or lucky enough to call Saratoga home, I hope you use Welcome Home and enjoy the process : ) Saratoga is (and always will be!) an awesome place to live and we would like to help you around…

Saratoga TODAY has put together everything you need to know in this one handy informative community guide… after all, providing local news is what we do best!

If this is your first time looking through Welcome Home, please note that the entire magazine is color-coded, making it quick and easy to navigate your way through the pages.

• Would you like the phone number to your local town clerk?

Browse the TOWNS OF SARATOGA COUNTY section.

• Need day care for your newly rescued dog?

We have a PET SECTION. • Need to call the school district in your area?

No problem, turn to the PUBLIC SCHOOLS section.

• Is mom or dad getting older and needing more resources?

Flip to the SENIOR CARE section.

• New to the area and looking for running clubs, yoga studios or healthy places to shop?

Check out the HEALTHY SARATOGA section.

• Looking for a new restaurant to try?

Check out our LOCAL DINING GUIDE. So… browse the book, mark your favorite pages, and enjoy life in our little corner of the world.

We hope you enjoy this issue and I must close with a thank you to our advertisers. Without them, we would not be able to provide these beautiful (and informative!) publications - free of charge to our tens of thousands of readers.

Please mention us by name when visiting them… Saratoga TODAY’s Welcome Home Magazine.

If you have an idea for a category not listed in our guide, let me know and we will include it in the 2022 edition of Welcome Home.

Enjoy life in the Saratoga Region!

Chris

VILLAGE OF VICTORY

VillageOfVictory.com

Zip Code: 12884

In 1684, Colonel Peter Schuyler, great uncle of General Schuyler, and six partners, obtained title to the Schuyler Patent, an area of over 168,000 acres that extended roughly 6 miles each side of the Hudson River. The Battle of Saratoga, the turning point of the Revolutionary War, was fought on the lands presently occupied by the Village of Victory and the Village of Schuylerville. In the years following the war, flour mills, linen mills, paper mills and sawmills were constructed as well as schools, churches, and businesses.

The Saratoga Battle Monument occupies a prominent place in the northwest portion of the village.

The Victory Mill, which began operating in 1846, made 1.8 million yards of cotton cloth per year. In 1850, it employed 160 men and 209 women. Several companies owned and operated the facility over the years and unfortunately ended up closing its doors in 2000. Soon the building will be redeveloped for residential housing.

The Saratoga Springs Farmers’ Market is a great year-round place to find fresh fruits, vegetables, homemade baked goods, local meat and poultry, dairy products, and much more.

The market began in 1978 as a small group of farmers in a parking lot and has since grown to more than 80 vendors. The Saratoga Farmers’ Market has won numerous awards, including #1 Must Visit Farmers’ Market in New York State by I Love NY. Supporting local business is very important to the communities in Saratoga County, something that is especially true of the farmers’ market.

All the vendors and their products must be produced locally (from within Saratoga, Schenectady, Washington, Rensselaer, and Warren counties).

This means that when you shop at the farmers’ market, you are buying unique products and supporting our

GREENFIELD F ARMERS’ MARKET Runs every Friday from 4 to 7 p.m. in Middle Grove Park on Middle Grove Road, through the second week in September. The market will feature a blend of products you would expect to find at a Farmers Market including many fresh organic vegetables and produce, honeys, maple syrups, fresh eggs, specialty olive oils and spices, fresh fruits, baked goods and homemade pickles. On site will also be EuroDelicacies, which specializes in Greek and Turkish prepared meals, and Pa’s Pistols Hot Dogs. You can get your Friday dinner right at the Market and bring it home to the family! “The Greenfield Farmers Market is more than just a place to shop, it’s a Friday night gathering place for the community,” said Louise Okoniewski, President of the Town of Greenfield Historical Society.

For more information and weekly updates send a request to Ron Deutsch at mkd67@aol.com or visit GreenfieldHistoricalSociety.com/ farmers-market.html.

CLIFTON PARK FARMERS’ MARKET The Saratoga Springs Farmers’ Market extends to Clifton Park from June October. You’ll find the same level of quality and exceptional local products at the Clifton Park Market held Monday from 2–5 p.m. in the parking lot of Shenendehowa Methodist Church, which is located at 971 Route 146 (just one mile west of I-87 Exit 9).

CAMP LITTLE NOTCH

AN AMERICAN CAMP ASSOCIATION ACCREDITED CAMP

IS A SUMMER HOME WHERE CAMPERS CAN EXPERIENCE FUN, FRIENDSHIPS, CHALLENGES, AND ADVENTURES. Camp Little Notch (CLN), provides the chance to practice living in harmony with nature, each other, and themselves in an authentic wilderness experience. Within five minutes of arriving, campers have half a dozen new friends who often become friends for life.

There are so many things to do at Camp Little Notch—swimming, canoeing, cookouts, stargazing, singing, wilderness skills, creekwalking…the list goes on. Campers sleep in a platform tent, watch the sun come up over the mountains, and listen to the sounds of the forest at night all combined to make an unforgettable summer experience.

Camp Little Notch brings people of various backgrounds together through activities that break down barriers and create a community where campers value themselves and each other. We consciously and deliberately use a variety of tools to create a camp community in which we celebrate diversity, encourage community building, teach conflict resolution and communication skills, facilitate sharing of traditions between people, and confront all forms of discrimination, prejudice, and exclusion in our interactions, operations, and activities.

From 1939 to 2008, the Girl Scouts owned and operated Camp Little Notch as a summer camp for girls. In 2015, Friends of Camp Little Notch reopened CLN to the public, and then invited boys to camp for the first time in 2018.

We felt that camping is such an important part of growing up that everyone, girls and boys, should be able to experience the magic of CLN.

This year to safeguard against COVID-19, Camp Little Notch will be offering 1-week, 2-week, and 4-week camp sessions all in a safe environment. CLN will become its own bubble, and therefore campers will be able to experience a typical camp experience without worry. Camper parents will be able to contact their campers via snail mail or email. Our first session begins July 3, 2021, with the last session ending August 7, 2021.

For the first time, Camp Little Notch will also be offering family camping this summer to those looking for a fresh-air escape from home. Families will be able to come to CLN in a COVID-19 safe environment.

For those looking for financial aid, Friends of Camp Little Notch (FoCLN) offers camp scholarship aka campership. FoCLN can cover partial or full campership for campers - and it is simple to apply! For more information and to fill out the campership application, visit camplittlenotch.org/campership.

Summer camp provides an opportunity for children to learn and practice important skills which they can use throughout their lives as they grow into happy, confident, creative, and inspired adults. Summer camp is great fun, but we feel the most important gains are made in these areas all while making lifelong friends.

Visit camplittlenotch.org or email info@friendsofcln.org for more information.

Changes began with moving the 30-yearold camp from Greenfield Elementary School to the Middle Grove Town Park, at 428 Middle Grove Road in Middle Grove, N.Y., which just underwent a major overhaul in November including state-ofthe-art playground upgrades, a renovated large pavilion, as well as basketball and tennis courts. The park also features 8 acres of open space with tree-lined fields and a 1.5-mile wooded walking trail.

The camp will adhere to all state safety regulations this summer including masks and social distancing, where necessary. Students ages 5 to 14 are welcome. Campers will be supervised with a 2:10 counselor/camper ratio featuring more than 30-trained camp counselors. Children will be grouped in pods of ten and each group will have a private tent for their convenience.

The camp will be led by Eric Hayden, a popular Saratoga Springs School District Physical Education coach. There will be an easy, contactless drop off and pick up loop for parents.

Camp activities include rotating stations of fun, featuring such things as: obstacle courses; wiffleball, soccer, flag football, kickball, basketball and other sports; hiking; gardening; Taekwondo; and other organized games. Three times a week an art director will lead a myriad of projects involving painting, spin art, tye-die, chalk art and more.

The camp will have themed days like “Super Hero” or “Hat Day.” Each Friday will bring free ice cream from an ice cream truck or Stewart’s Shops. Uncharted Wild LLC will visit weekly with live wild animal demonstrations.

JUNE 28-JULY 30 WEATHER PENDING Monday-Friday | 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.

LOCATION: Middle Grove Town Park 428 Middle Grove Rd., Middle Grove, NY DROP OFF AND PICK UP AT CONTACTLESS LOOP REGISTRATION: Begins March 1 for Greenfield residents at www.greenfieldny.org or by calling 518-893-7432, ext. 307.

“Our schedule will be ever-changing and kids are sure to come home exhausted and dirty from an action-packed morning at the park with friends,” said Rebecca Sewell, Town of Greenfield Recreation Director.

“We have adapted to meet the community’s need for simple outdoor summer fun.”

The Town of Greenfield is home to 7,500 residents and spans more than 41,000 acres of land, including Brookhaven Park and Golf Course in Porter Corners, NY. Other summer activities sponsored by the Town of Greenfield include golf camp, tennis camp and a PGA Junior Golf League.

WRITTEN BY MEGIN POTTER

Get the best out of the time you have with a yard that pleases everyone, morning ‘til night.

“What we saw last year is the interest levels spiked as everyone was staying home more. People started looking for a solution for the backyard that would satisfy everyone,” said Jon Foshee, President and CEO of Concord Pools.

MAKE YOUR YARD A MULTITASKER Marvel at the beauty and movement of water as one pool spills over into another with a pool that does double duty as a meditative water feature.

Start the day splashing around with the littlest ones in the shallow end, or diving into the deep-end and swimming laps in a generous 16’ x 40’ watery oasis.

Midday, layout in the pool, or slightly submerged, on the tanning ledge.

A pool with a Baja shelf turns your backyard into a resort-like experience.

HELLO, BEAUTIFUL!

GET TO KNOW WHAT WILL BE

Welcome the evening when you flick on the landscape lights, and fire up the grill.

You’re just a few clicks away from a custom backyard pool experience.

Switch on the different colors and turn up the immersive sound system for an evening that feels you’ve gone someplace completely new – without ever leaving your backyard!

Family dinners are all about options and versatility. Keep an outdoor fridge stocked with a variety of drinks and cook up everyone’s favorite foods with a grill like the Big Green Egg. (It’s an energy efficient all-in-one grill, smoker, and rotisserie.)

Spark up the fire torches, and feed the evening’s satisfying flame with an endless summer stunner - fire bowls.

“When you have all the elements together, you have the type of yard that can move throughout the day because the whole yard can change,” said Foshee.

The newly renovated Concord Pools showroom in Latham has laid out displays with all the items your yard is craving.

Map out just what you want outdoors and see how it looks with pool studio software. Powerful editing tools invite you to interact with the details of your design well before the first drop of water ever hits the pool.

Technology like this, organization, and keeping a keen lookout on the market, has helped Concord Pools get out ahead of the waves of demand from clients last year who were looking to keep everyone happy during the pandemic – without leaving home.

“It’s impacted every part of life in every form or fashion. We’ve been able to work with suppliers, to pivot, and have done a really good job to get out ahead it,” said Foshee.

FANTASTIC FIBERGLASS The popularity of fiberglass pools in all sizes has also been increasing because of all the benefits they offer compared to vinyl-lined pools. saratogaTODAYnewspaper.com

Fiberglass pools are a smart investment for many reasons. The cost to own one is less (you’ll never have to change the liner, like with vinyl), you’ll need fewer chemicals to keep them clean, and fiberglass pools are quicker to install.

“With fiberglass, we’re able to get a lot more pools in the ground. You can have your pool installed and water going in it, on the same day,” said Foshee.

Rectangle fiberglass pools are also easy to fit with an automated cover. Besides

helping to keep them free of outdoor debris, these covers are an additional safety feature, that doesn’t detract from the backyard’s overall appearance.

“It looks nice. It looks sharp,” Foshee added.

Everyone is sure to like that.

Why wait? Start squeezing a hundred more uses out of your backyard, today.

Concord Pools has locations in Saratoga and Latham.

I

’m on my way to a sprawling estate in Saratoga. “Look for the big gray barns with blue roofing on the left – you can’t miss us.”

Man – Arthur Zobel and Ginny Brandreth are telling the truth.

The gorgeous barns are off to one side, their roof the striking color of classic blue skies overhead.

The couple greets me in the driveway, a rambunctious puppy having fun digging in the dirt at their feet. We stand next to an impressive home built in the late 1700s, expanded in the 1800s, and renovated in the 1990s.

“Believe it or not,” they tell me, “we were in the market for an old barn we could convert into our living space. We’d been out scouting the area every chance we could, confident our dream project was out there. We just had to find it.”

Arthur is the owner of Zobel & Co. Kitchens – an award-winning kitchen design partner to builders and homeowners alike. His company believes every home is a sanctuary, its heartbeat the kitchen.

With over 40 years of design expertise under his belt, Arthur and Ginny were confident this was just what they had been looking to buy.

Ginny looks over at Arthur, grinning. “The funny thing is that he fell in love with this property and wanted to put an offer on it, while I had my eye on another place and told him I wanted to put a bid on that.”

The couple decided whichever seller bit first, they’d seal the deal right then and there.

Ginny’s seller didn’t even acknowledge her offer. Arthur’s seller accepted his. And there you have it - the home, which had been vacant for about five years, along with three acres of land became their own.

We enter through the front door, and I catch my breath.

The home was built by/for John T. Livingston – a member of one of the most prominent families in the settling Albany county. Here, in the original front section, the ceilings are 10-feet high, the floors made from warm-toned, 6-inch milled pine, and one of the doorways’ construction features exposed millwork – all signs of a well-to-do owner.

I was under the impression I’d be visiting a farmhouse.

Ginny explains they believe the majestic home is, instead, a Georgian Colonial – due to the high ceilings, symmetrical layout, chimneys on both ends, triangle block on the front porch, and decorative design of brackets on the staircase leading to the 2nd floor.

“The Livingstons were wealthy merchants, rather than farmers,” she tells me. My eyes try to take everything in during those first few moments. “The farm came about in the 1800s when the Brisbin family lived here. We believe they added the second section of the house, with lower ceilings and hand-hewn rather than milled woodwork, sometime after 1811 when James Brisbin, Jr. bought it.

Besides that, experts note the barn’s construction is from that period, not before.”

Arthur hands me a steaming-hot cup of coffee and explains that they both love antiques, which I can see as we wander in and out of each room.

When they pull out an old weathered album, and I begin to turn the pages, I’m amazed at past owners, how meticulous they were in chronicling work done on the house in the 1990s using photo essays. For instance, I can see the old bee-hive oven in one image, in what once was the 1800’s ‘summer kitchen’ and Arthur is quick to point out it still works, that they use it often as a pizza oven.

The downstairs bathroom showcases an antique sink they discovered in the barn. It’s an early 20th Century cast iron lavatory sink by Standard with heavy-duty decorative detail.

Because the exterior is so decorative, it’s meant to be exposed. Arthur had fun designing the vanity surrounding it.

The open area here in the kitchen is impressive; everywhere I turn, there’s something I want to study.

Let’s mention the wicked cool backsplash tiles on one wall, fashioned from 50 million-year-old fish fossils embedded in the surface.

There are two large rooms in the front end of the house – one on either side of the staircase, with a smaller one behind them. The master and guest bedrooms are upstairs, where the layout is the same. Can I tell you – the tastefully designed closets and bathrooms are to die for?!

Or, how about the nearly 12-foot-long gleaming wood dining table set in the great room, an inviting place to sit and relax for a while. The open design encourages people to unwind in the living room, talking with others preparing a meal in the kitchen.

Natural light floods the entire area of both floors, streaming in from numerous windows.

Gorgeous cabinets and drawers open with the slightest touch. There’s a place for everything at your fingertips.

Tucked into one corner, I can’t help but admire the builtin bar. I could go on and on and on. Suffice to say, if this couple dreamt it – Arthur designed it and made it happen.

I admire the gold-framed portraits and landscapes hanging on the walls of the home. Ginny explains how most of the artwork is from her family – there was a terrible fire that destroyed most of Arthur’s historical pieces.

“Even as we decided to move walls or doors around, we were already envisioning where we could repurpose windows someplace else in the home,” Arthur states with a smile. “Why throw them away – the older ones are beautiful.” Ginny has fun pointing out different places in the house where they did just that.

saratogaTODAYnewspaper.com

One of my favorite places is up a curving flight of stairs. A bedroom and sitting room overlook the kitchen. Two beds wait for the kids to come home to visit, and a comfy space invites Ginny to practice yoga.

My other favorite place is off the kitchen itself.

“I always wanted a butler’s pantry,” Ginny tells me, sighing with delight. As soon as her husband heard the words, he started planning the perfect room for her. We walk into a long, narrow space, and I’m in awe.

They get a kick out of my reaction.

Seriously - everything you can think of is in there; from cabinets to a sink to the gleaming refrigerator, a place for silverware and open shelves for Ginny’s china sets, to exposed beams that showcase the age and craftsmanship in building the home.

There’s even a corner specifically designed to hold heavy cast iron pots, pans, and skillets often used in cooking.

Ginny walks me through one room and says,” Go ahead, run your hands along the wall.” I do. I cannot describe how smooth the walls are. I have felt plaster before, but it’s usually rough. Not this. Soft as a baby’s bottom? Yes!

Once the door to the stove that heated a large copper pot that served as the 1800's hot water heater next to the bee-hive oven - now is the focal point of the back splash.

Which brings us back to the album. The album chronicles the extensive renovations the Riebels did in the early 1990s.

They gutted the walls down to the studs and replastered them, updated the electric and plumbing, added a great room, and re-roofed and re-sided the property’s barns.

In one photo, a young man and woman stand at the top of the stairs. The man is Jim Post, a master at plastering. Jim and Petra, his girlfriend at the time, straightened walls and ceilings, utilizing the art of veneer plaster both up and downstairs.

“We were surprised to look through these pages and find Jim’s picture,” Ginny states. “I tracked him down, thrilled to meet with him and talk about plaster. It was great to speak with someone who’d done so much work on our home.”

“It took us a good year to complete our work,” Jim tells me when I catch up to him on the phone. “I was proud of this job, as it was one of the first big jobs I’d done on my own.”

“How’d you two meet?” I ask Arthur and Ginny, who share a grin at the question. Speaking of heartwarming love stories…

“Arthur is a close friend of my first cousin,” Ginny smiles as she tells me this sweet anecdote. “He and his girls would come to our family camp in the Adirondacks every summer. The girls, especially the two youngest, became great friends.

“After his wife passed, Arthur invited me on a date, out of the blue. My answer was a resounding NO!” Arthur chuckles. “But, I’m persistent.”

They look at each other, grinning before they continue.

“We took all four girls on a trip to Maine. At breakfast that first morning, they had an announcement for us.”

‘We’ve decided where we’re going for the honeymoon.’

122

WELCOME HOME | 2021

I find myself laughing. “That must have been interesting.”

“What?!?,” Arthur reiterates their long-ago sentiment.

“That’s what our reaction was.”

“Yeah, you’re going to get married, and we’re all going on the honeymoon so we can keep bonding.”

That conversation happened about three years before Arthur proposed, and Ginny accepted. “We’re so grateful that the girls continue to be very close.”

saratogaTODAYnewspaper.com

“Here’s the thing,” Arthur finishes our interview back in the kitchen. “All of this?” he spreads his arms to encompass their home. My eyes wander around once more, taking it all in, this breath of fresh air that’s moved over the centuries with such grace. “Every owner has been the caretaker for the next generation, leaving their mark and personality on the house and farm. Now it’s our turn, simple as that.”

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE PROPERTY AND HOUSE: • The property deeds go back to the 1684 Saratoga Patent, when Pieter Schuyler, Robert Livingston, and others bought 150,000 acres from the Mohawk Indians. Robert Livingston gave a parcel in the Great Lot 26 to his nephew John T. Livingston and this is where the house stands.

124

WELCOME HOME | 2021

• The Brisbin family owned the property the longest (1811-1896.)

They were farmers who had settled in the area from Scotland. At the time James C. Brisbin died, women were not allowed to own property, and his widow, Ella, lost the home when it sold through an auction on the steps of the Schuylerville Hotel to Hiriam Cramer.

• The second-longest ownership was Charles Ketchum (1945-1989.)

• The house was extensively renovated in the early 1990s by David and Joan Riebel.

• The property is known as ‘the ‘Brisbin’ House, the ‘Ketchum Farm,,’ and now ‘Brobel Farm,’ – a combination of the couple’s last names.

• Beginning on page 256 in David J. Pitkin’s book “Haunted Saratoga County,” you can read about the house and its suspected ghostly occupants. Yup, rumor has it, there’s more than one!

• Country Living Magazine, January 2019 issue highlighted a small piece about the bathroom sink and its historical importance.
