TOWN OF SARATOGA ZIP CODE: 12871

The Town of Saratoga has a rich history and a current environment that is attractive to residential, commercial, and agricultural pursuits. It is located in the eastern portion of the County bordering the Hudson River on the East, Saratoga Lake and the City of Saratoga Springs on the West.

ZIP CODE: 12170
Centrally located between Saratoga Springs and Clifton Park this beautiful and historic community is known as “The Site of the Turning Point of the American Revolution.” The Battle of Freeman’s Farm and the Battle of Bemis Heights were fought here in 1777, paving the way for freedom, and setting the stage for settlement of this community along the banks of the mighty and noble, (but calm) Hudson River. Established in 1788, Stillwater, is one of oldest towns along the Champlain-Hudson corridor. Stillwater offers the “best of everything.” We are a growing community with an excellent school system, friendly neighborhoods, numerous historical sites, trails, parks and of course, Brown’s Beach!

VILLAGE OF VICTORY ZIP CODE: 12884
VILLAGEOFVICTORY.COM
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. Village Mayor Patrick Dewey | (518) 695-3808

BRIDGING THE GAP ENSURING A CONTINUUM OF CARE FOR SENIORS SLT Volunteer Nancy Henches (Top) with her client Brenda Safer (Super Spouse and caregiver for SLT client Manny).
WRITTEN BY MEGIN POTTER | PHOTOS PROVIDED
Phil Di Sorbo and MSW student intern Cylie Millington consult with a new SLT client
The global shift to a rapidly aging population is a major challenge for the healthcare delivery system. For many seniors and their caretakers, this disjointed communication creates life-threatening situations that take an escalating (and profound) physical, emotional, and psychological toll. Saratoga County (which has the fastest growing population of seniors in the State) also has the vibrantly thriving Saratoga Senior Center, a non-profit community resource that hosts activities, trips, and programs for seniors ages 50+. Among them is the free Senior Life Transition Program, which offers support services ensuring those with advancing health conditions are getting the care they need. “There are definitely gaps in services and we’re responding by helping those with complex medical conditions overwhelmed by a terribly mindboggling medical and social services system,” said Program Director, Board Certified Patient Advocate Phil DiSorbo.

COORDINATING COMPREHENSIVE CARE
RESPONSIVE OUTREACH AND ASSISTANCE
Although Kathy Mendenhall knew of the Saratoga Senior Center, she isn’t a member, and didn’t realize the Senior Life Transitions program (which has served nearly 150 seniors since 2022) existed.
When Norman passed in July, Senior Life Transitions helped Kathy through the transition (they’d been together for 51 years), to sell her home and other items, and took her on tours of several assisted and independent care facilities before arranging her move to Prestwick Chase.
Kathy was informed of this unique free resource by the County Office of the Aging after contracting a severe case of sepsis. The condition affected her limbs, and Kathy panicked because she wouldn’t be able to care for her husband, Norman, who was suffering from dementia, while she participated in extensive physical therapy treatments at a Warren County rehabilitation center. “A volunteer companion came right over to check on him and make sure he was taking his meds. I was so appreciative. He and Norman clicked right away,” said Kathy. Norman’s companion continued to visit once or twice a week for the five months Kathy was away. When she was released, she required the use of a wheelchair, and suitable transportation home was arranged. Senior Life Transition volunteers visited the couple at home to answer questions and share the options available to them – then recapped everything discussed in a follow-up email. “It was just remarkable. There’s nothing they haven’t helped me with. I don’t know what I would’ve done without It. I can’t praise that program enough,” she said.
“When we went through the door, I knew this was the place for me. I live in a beautiful apartment and my two cats love the terrace that overlooks the pond. It’s just gorgeous,” said Kathy, adding, “The people here are so warm and friendly. I started making friends right away.” “It gives people hope and tampers down anxieties,” said Senior Life Transition volunteer and retired nurse Nancy Henches. “It can be absolutely overwhelming for seniors to take care of their own needs while caring for someone else– it seems insurmountable.” “I am a navigator, who listens, and can be supportive. I am their pilot, looking at the entire picture - an advocate to meet their needs. It is phenomenally rewarding to see the response and impact you can have.” Fostering independence and wellness tailored to the individual, the Senior Life Transition Program provides emotional and practical support, arranges transportation, meals, homecare services, legal and financial assistance, and more.

GREENFIELD
Summer Camp
Greenfield Summer Day Camp Simply Focuses on Kids Just Being Kids in the Great Outdoors In today’s over-structured world where kids spend a big part of their days looking at electronics, the one thing most grade school parents agree on is when school is out, they want their kids out… in the great outdoors. When summer comes, the pressure is on for parents to adequately entertain them without overscheduling or breaking the bank. The Town of Greenfield’s summer day camp is a perfect solution, with its morning-only format and a full array of traditional activities that promise to leave children exhausted and happy. Campers spend 8:30 a.m.- 12:30 p.m. at the Maple Avenue Middle School, at 515 Maple Avenue in Saratoga Springs. Activities include rotating stations of fun, featuring such things as obstacle courses, hiking, Taekwondo, arts and crafts, as well as many organized games and sports like soccer, flag football, kickball and more. Campers participate in themed days like “Super Hero” and “Hat” Day and painting, tie-dying and rock climbing. They receive weekly visits from Uncharted Wild LLC to encounter live wild animals, regularly scheduled “Water Days” for splashing around and even the chance to pal around with some local llamas. Rainy day activities bring the children inside to the school’s gymnasium and cafeteria. Fridays end each week on a sweet note with treats from ice cream trucks and Stewart’s Shops.
“Our ever-changing schedule will send kids home exhausted and dirty from an action-packed morning at camp with friends,” said Town of Greenfield Recreation Director Jennifer Zeisler. Students ages 5 to 14 are welcome and will be supervised with a 2:10 counselor/camper ratio. The camp features 25 trained camp counselors, most of whom once attended this camp themselves. Parents can choose early drop off for an additional cost and all students are eligible for the town’s Free Lunch Program, daily on-site. More information can be found by calling Jennifer Zeisler at 518-893-7432 Ext. 307 or visiting www. greenfieldny.org. Scholarships are available.
JULY 1 - AUGUST 2 Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. (early drop off and transportation available) LOCATION: Maple Avenue Middle School 515 Maple Avenue Saratoga Springs, NY

H
aving children shaped how a young family lived in their 1892 residence.
Located on a beautiful corner lot in a highly-desirable, walkable neighborhood, the house, purchased in 2016 by Michael and Valerie Napoli, was quaint and cozy but was not a comfortable fit for their quickly growing family. By retaining the framework of the original structure but adding 2200 sq. ft., the year-long construction project more than doubles their living space and won Runner-Up for Favorite Luxury Home in the 2022 Saratoga Springs Showcase of Homes.

Approachable Aspirations This 3,800 sq. ft., three-floor, 4-bedroom, 4.5 bath house is far from cookie-cutter. To craft a home that fits their unique needs and lifestyle, the couple turned to architect Bob Flansburg, owner of Dreamscapes Unlimited, and worked hand-in-hand with Dave Gadomski of DSG Construction and Remodeling. “Mike and Val were very organized. They knew exactly what they wanted down to every detail,” said Dave. “It was a good partnership. We didn’t have to waste a bunch of time, and aesthetically, there were some moving components, but most were set in place, so that was a huge contributing factor to the project and getting it done. It was a miracle we did what we did, when we did.” Valerie, a licensed real estate agent since 2008 and currently working for Julie & Co. Realty, was the interior designer and has gone on to work with DSG Construction on other projects since finishing her own home.

Right at Ease The open concept of this home’s floorplan easily adapts to life. It brings a cohesively flowing energy that feels less static than its predecessor’s walled-in rooms. RANDALL PERRY PHOTOGRAPHY
“A big part of us building an open concept home is that we love entertaining and wanted to have more space to host our family and friends,” said Valerie.

The exterior displays architectural elegance with timber frame gable accents and a foundation of antique tumbled brick (sourced from North Carolina) at the base of the home. In the backyard, the rectangular fiberglass in-ground pool is fenced off from the rest of the entertaining area, providing peace of mind when youngsters are around. The Italian porcelain patio, with its 11’ ceilings, surround sound system, and seating for 12, creates an outdoor area ideal for summertime gatherings. WELCOME HOME | 2024

Calling Card Entry The timeless nobility and durability of exposed brick (which reminds the couple of their time in New York City) can be found throughout the house. Used in both fireplace backsplashes and behind the master bath’s soaker tub, its use in the archway that divides the foyer from the dining room is truly mighty. “Brick has been used in accent walls for a long time but people don’t do it in modern homes (because of the cost) so it was interesting to see how it’s been incorporated into the interior,” said Dave. In the living room, the tones of the couple’s existing camel leather furniture play off the brick nicely in a color scheme accentuated by a vibrant Italian painting that evokes memories of the couple’s overseas travels.

Polish & Practicality The relaxed host knows the kitchen will stand-up to whatever comes its way. A place to cook and connect, here, an oversized 8’ island with quartz countertops sits comfortably among the sleek white cabinetry and soft honey bronze hardware. Tucked into the corner, across from the pantry with its built-in wine cooler, natural light pours into the breakfast nook from the eastern-facing windows. One of Valerie’s favorite places, the window bench seating in this bright and inviting spot is fun for family mealtime.

Hero of the Household Often overlooked but essential for busy households, the mudroom is a handy catch-all entry, corral clutters, and features black walnut surfaces. This beautiful wood, salvaged on-site from a single tree, is also used upstairs in the stylish tiled laundry room. In the powder room, the downstairs bathroom off the playroom, and in her daughter’s bedroom, Valerie took risks with wallpaper. Using a dark, moody grass cloth to contrast the light, airy feel of the rest of the house, and busy designs to counterbalance its otherwise clean aesthetic, wallpaper injects added interest into the space.

Privacy, Please The calm tranquility of the upper level is hinted at starting in the stairwell, where molding adds depth and an old-world charm to the walls. A welcome retreat is established with open ceilings and exposed rafters in the master bedroom. In addition to the relaxing tub, the sumptuous bathroom features dual vanities, water closet, and spacious shower with sliding barn glass door. Valerie added that being so closely involved (while building their dream home) gave her a new appreciation for that builder / homeowner relationship and is looking forward to working with Dave on many projects to come!
