Wilton preserve champions the endangered Karner blue Visitors will soon flock to park to watch butterflies feast on fields of wildflowers By WENDY LIBERATORE

Summer Sunday Stroll of Saratoga’s Historic West Side

SARATOGA - Sunday, July 10th at 10:30AM, Gloria May will lead a stroll of Greenridge Cemetery and tell the stories of the earliest residents of Saratoga, visiting the oldest grave from the 1700s that predates the cemetery and the marker of the first person to be buried in Greenridge Cemetery when it opened. Learn about the Civil War monument with those who proudly served in service to our country and be introduced to the prominent families of Saratoga – the Walworths, the Marvins and the Batchellers. This tour meets at The Sackett Gate entrance on Lincoln Avenue. Additional tours this summer highlight the mineral springs of downtown, mail-order houses on the east side, mansions of North Broadway, architecture of the Saratoga Spa State Park, and much more. The Foundation is particularly grateful for the generous support of 2022 Series Sponsor Druthers Brewing Company, as well as Summer Series Sponsors Bonacio Construction, Inc. and Burns Management. All Sunday morning tours last approximately 90 minutes and

WILTON - You might refer to it as the butterfly effect. Within days, if not at this very moment, hundreds will flock to the Wilton Wildlife Preserve and Park. The visitors will be there for one reason, to watch the brood of a tiny butterfly, the Karner blue, flutter over a field of wildflowers. The federally protected vibrant blue males and copper-colored females thrive in the meadows of this preserve. And every July, tens of thousands of chrysalises hatch, freeing butterflies that will savor the nectar of lupine, milkweed, bush clover and New Jersey tea. And when not feeding, they will mate and lay eggs to create the next brood of butterflies that will hatch next year. When asked why it’s important to keep the cycle alive, preserve Executive Director Margo Olson responded with a question. “Why are rainbows beautiful? I don’t mean to be flip about it, but they are also canaries in the coal mine. Any species loss speaks of our lost connection to the natural world. If there are changes that are happening and are causing the disappearance of a species, it’s a wakeup call to us that we are creating conditions that are not conducive to life on our planet.” To understand the butterfly’s attraction to Wilton and this preserve, one must look back to the last Ice Age, about 15,000 years ago. That’s when a glacier, that once enveloped the town, started to melt. And as the glacial waters flowed down into the Hudson River, what was left behind were sand dunes. The undulating sandy soil, known as the Saratoga Sand Plains, appeared to be fallow ground. But in the intervening years, the sand plains transformed into a flowering meadow — the ideal habitat for the endangered Karner blue as well as the frosted elfin butterfly, which is threatened. Olson said that in 1996 then-town Supervisor Roy McDonald realized the significance

of the butterfly and agreed to transfer 1.1 acres to the Nature Conservancy in an effort to protect them. In the succeeding years, the property has grown to 2,400 acres that are owned and managed by a consortium: the town of Wilton, Saratoga County, the state Department of Environmental Conservation and the Nature Conservancy. Olson leads the preserve’s public face, the private nonprofit, which serves the greater mission to conserve, educate and provide outdoor PAUL BUCKOWSKI / TIMES UNION recreation to the public. Margo Olson, executive director of the Wilton Wildlife Preserve and Park: “The park is an interest“We view our role as environmental educators.” ing combination of town, county and state with us as the nonprofit,” Olson said. “It’s a patchwork of different owners. It’s confusing to the public, but it’s an excellent private-public partnership.” The preserve, with eight trails that ribbon through fields and forest, is popular with hikers, bikers, dog walkers, picnickers, hunters, cross-country skiers and snowshoe enthusiasts. And in order to keep the preserve and its conservation efforts top of mind, Olson seeks grants to present year-round programs on the preserve, which also includes an old Boy Scout camp known as Camp Saratoga. Many of the programs center on the PROVIDED BY HOWARD LESTER life cycle of the Karner blue and their Karner blue butterflies, such as this female, can be spotted two broods, one in late May and early at the Wilton Wildlife Preserve and Park.

SARATOGA SPRINGS - In blazing heat, volunteers carried mattresses and coolers through the forest last Friday.

did not respond to repeated requests for comment. Markwood Enterprises, an investment and development firm, is based in Beverly Hills, Calif. The current owner, Mahnaz Mehdizadeh, also lives in Beverly Hills. City officials did not know whether Mark-wood represents the property’s current owner or its prospective buyer. Residents took the letter seriously. Last Friday, with the help of workers from RISE Housing and Support Services and the Salvation Army, they packed up all of their belongings and began taking apart shelters that they had spent years erecting. “I don’t want trouble,” said resident Lorie Savage, adding, “They have a right to do what they want when they own the property. Moving will save a lot of problems. Sooner or later, they are going to build.” She’s lived there for four years. With salvaged pallets and tree trunks, she built a small shack. “I really can’t move my shack in three days,” she said. “If it does take longer (for development to start), I plan to do it piece by piece. Especially my floor. It’s nice and solid and off the ground.” For now she will use a tent. ‘Not trespassing’

Public Safety Commissioner James Montagnino said the police cannot issue trespassing tickets if residents stay. “It’s not fenced. It’s not posted,” he said. “People tell me it’s been an encampment for decades. Since the land is not posted, you’re not trespassing.” Residents said they had lived there for years. That means they must get formally evicted, Montagnino said. “You can’t simply throw them out,” he said. “These folks have certain rights.” He speculated that some might even be able to claim ownership under adverse possession rights. “I’d love to see an enterprising young attorney say, ‘This is not a simple eviction,’” he said. In any case, he said, the police will not get involved. “We’re not going to evict for a private owner,” he said. No power to fight Residents liked his reasoning but said there was no point trying to fight a developer. “We could put it on hold, but eventually you’re going to have to get out,” said Steven W.

Saratoga County History Saratoga County Fair – Tumultuous Two Years Submitted by Sarah Welch June 29, 2022 Sarah Welch is a lifetime resident of Saratoga County. Sarah has been a member of the Board of Directors of the Saratoga County Agricultural Society since 1994. Sarah has been the treasurer of the Society from 1999 through 2015 and continues to be a Director and Historian of the Society. In the summer of 2020, I recounted the early history of the Saratoga County Fair in a previous article. Much has changed in the last two years, so I thought I would update the story. 2020 was an unusual year for the Saratoga County Fair and the world. Due to the virus that has invaded the United States and the rest of the world, we had to enact many changes so that we could continue to exist. When things began to be closed or canceled by Governor Cuomo, the Board of Directors unanimously voted to cancel the fair. Most of the other activities were also cancelled. We opened the grounds to some of our food vendors. People were able to come on the grounds at no entrance fee and buy fair food that seemed to be missed by many people. Another important event in 2020 was the fate of the grandstand which was in poor condition. After many suggestions on how to treat the problem, the Board voted unanimously to have the grandstand demolished. It had been built in 1896 at a cost of $4000 and had a dirt floor until 1977. In that year a concrete floor was poured and petitions built to divide the area to be used for the 4H food stand and other display areas. In the late 1990’s the education department under the direction of Susan Leahey was located under the grandstand. In the early 2000’s, the front wall of the foundation of the grandstand was replaced. It was discovered during a building inspection that the wall had collapsed in some areas and a new wall was necessary to support the grandstand and make it safe for occupancy. In 2019 it was confirmed that the grandstand was contaminated with lead paint on the siding and asbestos in the roof area and was declared to be unfit for occupancy. We had many estimates on how to repair the building. We would have had to remove the lead and asbestos and to bring it up to

code including handicap accessibility. It was determined due to the high cost to renovate the 125-year-old structure the only feasible solution was to demolish it. In November the grandstand was taken down by Greenbriar owned by Griffin Gillette who was also a vendor for the fair. It took several days to prepare the area to contain the asbestos. When one support wall was taken down the grandstand collapsed upon itself and caved in. The total demolition and removal were accomplished in two weeks at a cost exceeding $50,000 that included a $2000 fee paid to NYS for proper asbestos removal. Several members of the Board of Directors, Susan Rhoades Executive Director and a few of the neighbors gathered on the fairgrounds to watch the operation. In November Mike Smith, Supervisor from the town of Galway was instrumental in getting approval for the Saratoga County Board of Supervisors to include a grant of $250,000 in the 2021 budget to help with the cost of replacing the grandstand. To be eligible to receive this grant, the fair had to match the grant with $250,000 from donations, to replace the grandstand. Our next project was to raise this money through donations. At a Board meeting in December, it was determined to replace the grandstand and a plan was developed to secure the needed donations. In 2020 the fair lost several of its many faithful people instrumental in the success of our past fairs. Dorothy Rowland from the culinary department, Jim Coleman from the grounds crew and bottle collector for over thirty years and Richie Pine that ran the shop of the antique building for 20 years, Tony Eastwood active in the conservation department and Tim Barnes that took care of all the flower beds on the grounds are a few of the people we lost that year. In April 2021 the Board of Directors voted unanimously not to have a full six day fair due to lack of finances and regulations that would have to be followed given the ongoing pandemic. Instead, the Board planned a threeday event including, horses, cattle and other animals, some food vendors and tractor and lawn mower pulls. A fund-raising program was developed with the first event held in May. Each of the 21 directors was asked to get 21 people to donate $21 to get the directors released from quarantine on the fairgrounds. All directors participated

and we exceeded our original goal. We held several other fund raisers during 2021 such as barbeque chicken drive thru events, a pancake breakfast, car show, a fair food event in which local concessions sold their products, raffles of baskets donated by departments of the fair and other events. As of October 1, we had raised the $250,000 needed to match the Saratoga County Donations. On a sad note, in December of 2021 we lost three long time volunteers with the fair. Marie Willard had been an employee of the fair for several years in the late 1990’s and was a member of the Board from 1981 to 1995. Jeffrey W. Fitzsimmons was a volunteer at the fair for several years where he operated the wobble wheel roller for the truck and tractor pulls. Frank Griffin was a board member from 1993 to his retirement on September 30, 2021. He attended annual conferences in Las Vegas and Fair management and networking across New York State with State Association. The Agricultural Society is looking forward to 2022. Work continues to replace the grandstand. The actual project started in March by adding the necessary fill to level the area to the level of the track to a depth of approximately 18”. The concrete base for the bleachers would be poured in May by the Amish and the bleachers would be set in June. The cover for the bleachers would be phase 3 at a later date. We look forward to returning to normalcy this year when the fair will be held for six days from July 19-24. The Saratoga County Fair will carry on.

Mr. Goodspeed (former District Attorney ) will discuss the planning, and share photos of the Robert Kennedy family on this trip, fondly remembered by many locals over a half-century later.

The Capital District Humanist Society Presents: Creating Health Care Equity CAPITAL DISTRICT - For-profit health insurance companies exploded in the 1990’s, which has imposed many constraints on the medical profession. Before then, 95% of premiums went to patient care; now at most 75-80% do. Insurance company profits soar, patient care suffers, and doctors need extra staff to deal with the barriers to quality medical care that puts patients’ interests first. Twelve years ago, the Affordable Care Act looked like it might lead to universal coverage, affordability, and equal access. We are still waiting, but revamping healthcare coverage, as proposed by the NY Health Act and the federal Medicare for All Act, can improve our health care system. Dr. David Ray practices internal medicine at Albany Med, with a subspecialty in HIV medicine. Before coming to Albany Med, he was Chief of Adult Medicine and Medical Director of the HIV Program at Whitney Young Community Health Center for 14 years. He is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the Albany Med Div. of HIV Medicine. He has spent 36 years immersed in the science and politics of the HIV epidemic. He is chair of the Capital District Alliance for Universal Healthcare, and a member of Physicians for a National Health Program. This program will take place online, via Zoom, on Sunday, July 10th, 2022 at 1 PM.

National Votes for Women Trail Markers Celebrate Saratoga’s Pivotal Role in Women’s Suffrage SARATOGA - Saratoga’s role in the American Revolution is legendary, but very little is known about Saratoga Springs’ role in the 72-year Bloodless Revolution - the fight for women’s suffrage. The dedication of two National Votes for Women Trail (NVWT) markers on Wednesday, July 13 will commemorate the role that Saratoga Springs had in giving women the right to vote. The celebration will start promptly at 12:00 PM at 11 Fifth Avenue, the childhood home of local suffragist Kathryn Starbuck with the marker dedication and song from Tisha Dolton, suffrage singer. Join us as we march from Fifth Avenue to Congress Park at 12:15 PM and wear suffragist white to show your support. Outside Congress Park, near the intersection of Broadway and Congress Street, the marker celebrating Matilda Joslyn Gage and her role starting the New York State Woman Suffrage Association in Saratoga Springs will be unveiled at 12:45 PM. Following the unveiling, dedication remarks will be made at Canfield Casino, with the support of the Saratoga Springs History Museum. The remarks will feature a Susan B. Anthony reenactor, as well as Karen Pasterello, co-author of Women Will Vote; Winning Suffrage in New York State. In addition, Saratoga County Historian, Lauren Roberts, will share a biography of Kathryn Starbuck.

HOME SOLUTIONS Tips When Painting Shutters There are many ways to give a home’s exterior a new look. Though it might not be as grand as replacing siding, repainting shutters affords homeowners a chance to try a bold new color or simply replace fading colors, and each option can make a home more appealing. Homeowners who have never before painted shutters can consider these tips as they prepare to begin the project. • Don’t go it alone. The most important step homeowners can take before beginning a shutter painting project is to enlist the help of a friend or family member. Someone to hold the ladder can make the project safer. Enlisting a third individual, working on the ground, who can take the shutters from the person on the ladder may be a wise move as well. • Remove the shutters. When painting shutters, homeowners want to remove them from the house. It might seem easier to leave the shutters on and then paint them carefully with a brush, but that’s both time-consuming and a potential safety risk. Some shutters are installed with fasteners that look like screws, but that appearance is misleading and shutters installed in this way cannot be removed with a drill or screwdriver. Homeowners should determine which material their shutters are made from, and then look for a corresponding removal tutorial on YouTube. Homeowners who can’t find one can contact the manufacturer or a contractor to determine the best way to remove the shutters. • Clean the shutters prior to painting them. It’s likely been years since the shutters were last painted, and over that time they’ve no doubt accumulated a lot of dirt and mildew. Homeowners can try a garden hose to clean them, and if that doesn’t work a power washer may be needed. If using a power washer with wooden shutters, be especially careful, as the force of the power washer may damage the wood. Vinyl shutters, like vinyl siding, can typically handle a strong power washing without being damaged. Wooden shutters also will need to have old paint removed before they can be repainted. The experts at TrueValue® note that paint can be removed from wooden shutters with a sander or by applying a chemical paint stripper. • Prime wooden shutters before painting. Though vinyl shutters won’t need to be primed unless the old

• Re-hang the shutters after they have fully dried. Only after the shutters have fully dried should they be placed back on the house. Employ the same buddy system when re-hanging the shutters, having one person hold the ladder and another pass each one up one at a time. Painting shutters can give a home a fresh look without costing homeowners a lot of money.

Did you know?

paint is peeling, wooden shutters must be primed before they’re painted. Priming can be a tedious process, so homeowners should leave themselves ample time for this part of the project. • Rent an airless sprayer to paint the shutters. Many hardware or paint stores rent airless sprayers, and these can be the quickest way to paint shutters. Professionals typically apply two coats of paint, and the first coat should be allowed to fully dry before the second coat is applied.

Certain home improvement projects are more complex than others. Projects that involve working with gas lines are among the most complicated and risky undertakings, and even seasoned do-it-yourselfers are urged to leave such tasks to certified professionals. According to Angi, the average cost to move a gas line is between $15 and $25 per linear foot, and homeowners can expect to pay an additional $1 to $10 per linear foot for pipe materials. A natural gas plumber can install, extend and repair natural gas lines and ensure that the project is completed safely, on time and within homeowners’ budgets. Angi notes that the average cost to move a gas line is between $250 and $750 for the whole project. However, if a buried line must be excavated, that cost could run into the thousands of dollars.

on the Saratoga County Airport will displace many, if not most, of the Karner blue that live there now. “The county already owns land on Taylor Road,” Olson said. “It’s perfect because there is adjacent habitat.” Ultimately, Olson said, the preserve seeks to cultivate an appreciation for the natural environment in a county that is one of the fastest developing in the state. “People protect places they know and love. “When people spend more time outdoors, when the town says let’s have a bond act to purchase more land to build a trail, people will be more supportive of it.”

ter, he goes to the Code Blue shelter. When that closes, he goes back to the forest. “Sometimes there’s still snow on the ground,” he said. But it’s safer than city shelters and urban gathering sites, he said. “There’s too much crazy stuff on the streets. I got a tooth knocked out. I had to get stitches,” he said. He has already moved to a part of the forest outside the area that will be sold. Leaving the forest for an apartment isn’t an option. They cannot afford housing without help. Encampment residents said they have been on waiting lists for years for assistance. “We have nowhere to go,” Savage said. Resident Ralph Weddle, who spent last Friday moving his belongings to a site near Harris, chose to put up a tent instead of staying at a homeless shelter where he was placed after getting a pacemaker a year ago. “It was a really rough area,” he said. He prefers the forest. RISE volunteers moved his heavy items for him, worried about his heart. He was left to fold up his tent. One of the last things he did was to climb on a plastic crate and take down a decorative sign in the shape of a tiger face. “A friend of mine died. He gave me that,” he said. He’s taking it with him, wherever he ends up.
