Mettawee River Theater Company Performs
“Beyond the High Valley - a Quechua story”
On the Historic Schuyler House Grounds
(Schuylerville, NY) Utilizing large-scale and highly decorative puppetry, the Mettawee River Theater Company will perform “Beyond the High Valley - a Quechua story” on Friday July 24 at 8:00pm on the grounds of the historic Schuyler House on Route 4 in Schuylerville. Please bring flashlights and lawn chairs to this free event. If weather is uncertain for this outdoor event, please call 854.9357 after 5:30pm to confirm the performance
The Quechua people are descendants of the Incas, and their villages are located in the Andean highlands of Peru. As the story begins, a giant condor spies a young woman tending her family’s llamas in a meadow. He sweeps down from the sky, transforms into a dashing lover and then carries her off to a rocky crag. Her unlikely rescuer is a creature of dazzling ingenuity, a plucky little hummingbird. This production will incorporate a range of puppets and other visual elements realized on many different scales, expressing the vast distances, radiant sky and rugged, vertical thrust of this fierce and beautiful terrain.
Performing arts were highly popular during America’s Revolutionary War period. In fact, British General John Burgoyne who faced a devastating military defeat at Saratoga in 1777 went on in life as a highly successful playwright. Performing arts were an integral part of 18th century life and “Beyond the High Valley” is presented as part of “Arts-in-the-Parks” at Saratoga Battlefield and in partnership with the Schuylerville Chamber of Commerce.

SUMMER'S HERE
There was a bright yellow object in the sky this morning that seemed to indicate that the rainy season in Schuylerville might be over and the summer fun can begin in earnest.
Start the season on the water, taking a trip on one of the Champlain Canal Boat Tours. The M/V Sadie is now operating through Labor Day from 10 AM till 7 PM, offering both the waterfall and lock-through excursions on a trip lasting about half an hour. The Caldwell Belle will cruise by the Northumberland waterfalls and the cascades at Fort Miller, Tuesday through Saturday at 1:30 and Sunday at 5 PM, for a 1 1/2 hour trip. Or you can sail downriver to the battlefield park and through one of the canal’s deepest locks on a 3-hour journey. Full schedules are at http://www.champlaincanaltours.com.
The battlefield park is a beehive of activity this summer. They are offering Saturday evening interpretive strolls, from 6:30 to 7:30 PM. Meet at the flagpole in the Visitor Center parking lot and caravan to the tour road stops highlighted each evening. Water bottles, bug repellant, and comfortable walking shoes are suggested. The programs are free of charge. This weekend, Ranger Joe Craig will discuss “Damaged, Displaced and Dead”, the often dire consequences to soldiers and civilians during the Campaign and Battles of Saratoga. For more details, go to www.nps.gov/sara.
The battlefield park is also offering Friday morning interpretive walks in July and August, at 9 AM. Participants should be able to walk two miles over uneven ground, for two hours, and should bring bug spray and drinking water. This Friday’s walk will cover the Bemis Heights battle of October 7, 1777, and on Friday, July 25th, the subject will be “Why Saratoga”, or, why did the American forces choose to stand and fight here?
If that’s not enough battlefield park activity for you, there will be a bike tour on Wednesday, July 15 from 6 to 7:30 PM. The guided bike tours will cover various sections of the battlefield, giving participants a unique opportunity to learn about the Battle of Saratoga. Riders should meet at the Visitor Center and wear helmets.
Right here in town, there are group bike rides through the surrounding countryside every Monday evening from 6 to 8. Meet at Olde Saratoga Bike & Boards and prepare to have a blast.
And speaking of bikes, aren’t the colorful flower-bedecked bicycles gracing our village streets wonderful?? Besides the bikes, the newly planted flower beds make the village most attractive! Kudos go to Mary Roberts and the crew of garden club members and others for this abundance of flowers! To see many more flowers, go to the Schuylerville Garden Club’s Flower Show on Saturday and Sunday, the 11th and 12th, in the Town Hall.
Artwise, there will be an opening reception at the Riverfront Studios on July 11th from 5:00 to 7:00, with music provided by Tumbleweed Gumbo. Featured artists are Jeffrey Hessing, Hideaki Miyamura, Rita Dee, Dahl Taylor, Phil Rogers and special guest, Celeste Susany. In the East Gallery there will be A Tribute to the Hudson River, juried by James Kettlewell. These exhibits will continue through August 22nd. Also, Ivy Associates Art Gallery is continuing to feature the paintings, prints, and drawings of Don Wynn. Hours to view this exhibit are Thursday through Saturday from 11 to 3, and Sunday from 1 to 3.
To wind up with music, come tap your toes to the tunes of True Grass on Saturday, the 11th, at 7 PM at the Music on the Hudson bandstand at Fort Hardy Park. If you want to enjoy dining by the river, bring your food and friends to join the fun at 6:00 - a nice way to spend a Saturday evening!

A NEW "OLDE SARATOGA"
That New York State has the highest taxes in the country is a national disgrace. We all agree. That our vast maze of overlapping local governments is horrendously inefficient there is no disputing. It is numbing to think that in the name of tax relief the best our State legislature can think up is a cap the amount by which taxes can be raised.
Voters and taxpayers are righteously indignant. Most are looking for a way to “just say NO!” – Or - better yet, kick the political establishment somewhere where it hurts. Who can’t identify with some part of that feeling?
Our politically savvy Attorney General, Andrew Cuomo has gotten a good whiff of this sentiment. He is sponsoring programs that would make it easier for governments to “consolidate” and theoretically become more efficient. The pundits say he has earned some important political capital in so doing. Some in our area are actively seeking the dissolution of local Village governments; a case and point, the governments of the Villages of Schuylerville and Victory.
It is very easy to point out the ungainly nature of government at such a local level. After all, in the case of these two governments, both incorporated in the 1800’s to meet the needs of energetic mill-town economies, every thing within their boundaries has changed since their inception except the governments themselves. The mills are shuttered, the railroad torn up and mainstreet has been malled practically to death. The economy that supports the village residents today no longer represents the economic efforts of the local businesses and industries which called these governments into being in the first place. It is a fact that these governments remain as “micro” entities now contained within a completely changed “macro” economy.
Obsolete? Maybe, but before we throw them all down, we should remember that smashing uncomfortable furniture with a hammer doesn’t make it any more comfortable. Before we dissolve or consolidate our ancient governments we have to ask the questions: dissolve into what? And consolidate with whom? Eliminating the Village governments, while tempting, is not going to automatically make our situation any better, or, for that matter, reduce the cost of doing things that Town governments weren’t designed to do. The Town of Saratoga, for example, is a broad county subdivision also containing huge rural landscapes, farms, recreational lake properties and suburbs of Saratoga Springs. Those interests don’t necessarily share the needs or the potential of the river communities to their east. Nor are they likely to want to subsidize anyone else’s needs through a raise in their own taxes.
Rather than basing our actions on what it is we don’t want, it would be more productive to focus on what we do. It would be better to consider an area, which could become a natural “macro” for the current Schuylerville/Victory community. Such an area would include the major assets of each village joined with their surrounding neighborhoods to create a viable entity within which to plan a healthy forward platform for development. Such a platform could support the needs of the population and spin-off businesses of the huge development in the Luther Forest just down the road.
Many of the observers of the current economic crisis are predicting that the successful communities of America’s future will not be based on suburban sprawl and so totally reliant on the automobile. They will be denser, better planned, fully integrated communities which can constitute a viable local economy on their own. If you inventory the assets of Schuylerville/Victory and their immediate surroundings… the amazing river, the public infrastructure and its potential for expansion, the downtown and its potential for renewal, the possibilities for carefully planned growth … just such a community can easily be envisioned.
Think of an area beginning roughly at the bridge in Northumberland and running south to Coveville, from the river west to Grangerville. Like pot bound seedlings set out to grow strong, all landowners in such a subdivision would see their property values increase as the community blossomed into a new more realistic context. And, by the way, governance of such an area might be ideally suited for the corporate powers village governments were originally meant to provide. In addition, such a village could exist on both sides of town lines (e.g. Northumberland and Saratoga) just as the Village of Cambridge does today in White Creek and Cambridge.
It is always easier to be against something than it is to build something new. At this moment in our country’s history it is time to be positive, to live up to the potential for greatness which is our constitutional endowment. It would take spending the State’s consolidation planning grants studying this, many nights of meetings, public debates, referenda, and all that to bring about a rebirth of the River community. I am not interested in the hammer to the furniture approach. I am interested in contributing to building something new and better. I would call such a new community “Olde Saratoga”

More May Goings-On
Can't forget the Dutch - they're so much a part of our community. This weekend the Dutch Reformed Church is hosting their Dutch Heritage Weekend both Saturday and Sunday, with the opening ceremony at 11:30 Saturday, followed by a Dutch Luncheon and a canal cruise. Sunday will feature a Dutch style worship service, a Mother's Day Dutch Tea, and folk storytelling. An evening lecture by Park Ranger Eric Schnitzer winds up the festive weekend. Get on your wooden shoes and join the fun!
Another May special is Old Saratoga Eye Care's Educator Appreciation Month during which all teachers and staff members will get 20% off eyewear. A great time to replace those glasses with the paper clip holding the bow on..... or maybe order prescription sunglasses for the bright days ahead.
Now get back to planting all the plants you bought at the plant sales!

A BIG BUSY WEEKEND
There’s a big weekend coming up here in Schuylerville. The Gardeners’ Weekend promises to be another big hit. There are events scheduled for both Saturday and Sunday plus tours and sales at local garden centers. Or you can just walk around town and admire all the newly planted lilacs sponsored by local groups and planted by FFA students from the high school.
If you want to choose from a full selection of flower and vegetable plants, go early to the Schuylerville Garden Club’s annual plant sale . Hours are 9 to 12 Saturday at the Youth Commission Building at Fort Hardy Park. For further information, call Kathy at 695-3915. Lilac and hydrangea starter plants will also be sold as part of the Gardener’s Weekend at the park - again, come early.
Evening entertainment this weekend will be provided by the Schuylerville Community Theater’s production of “Company” at the high school. This sprightly Steven Sondheim musical will be presented Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 PM and Sunday afternoon at 2:00.
If flea market shopping is your bent, cross the river to John Tedder’s new weekend sale at his pole barn behind 42 Old Schuylerville Road. Vendors are welcome to join in this new venture, to be held Saturdays and Sundays through October. For more information, go to John’s blog at www.teddersrandomnotes.com/blog/2009.
And for something really special, follow the Pottery Trail to visit the studios and shops of area potters. Our own talented Doug Klein will be creating and selling his beautiful works of art at his studio at 100 Burgoyne Road, across from the monument. Lots of things to do this weekend - get out there!

Schuylerville is coming to life with the advent of spring. Gardens are blooming with daffodils and crocuses, and forsythias are popping out their yellow heads. So it’s the perfect time to start planning for the Chamber’s Spring event, the Gardener’s Weekend, to be held on May 9th and 10th. Last year’s premiere Lilac Festival was a resounding success, so it only makes sense to expand the concept and include hydrangeas in the programs. Lilac expert Jeff Young will again be our featured speaker, and this year he will take on the rejuvenation of the ancient Schuyler Estate Lilac. There will be a children's potting shed, a garden tea, and a sale of lilacs and hydrangeas - come early!
Local garden centers will be having activities all weekend: Schuyler Farms will offer tours of its greenhouses and children's activities as well as discounts on lilacs and hydrangeas. Olde Saratoga Home & Garden will hold an herb workshop and tours of their solar greenhouse on Sunday. Fish Creek Garden Shoppe will demonstrate making unique plant markers at their workshop on Saturday. Phillips Garden Views will open their greenhouses and have discounts on gifts.
The Chamber has begun to plant specimen lilacs around the village, in the hope that in a few years a map can be prepared and visitors can view many different colors and varieties at a festival of lilacs. With this in mind, area organizations are being asked to sponsor one or more lilacs to be planted by the Future Farmers from the high school. The cost of sponsorship is $50 per lilac, and checks can be sent to Mary Roberts at 168 West River Rd. This is a great project that will literally grow and bloom, so get on board!
Other signs of spring are the baseball and softball games, the track teams running through town, and bicycles everywhere. One of the biggest cycling races in the country is taking place this weekend just across the river, winding through the roads of Cambridge, Shushan, Salem, and Greenwich. On a smaller scale, the Monday night rides from Olde Saratoga Bike & Boards will begin again on Monday at 6:00, and every Monday thereafter. Both beginning and advanced riders are welcome to join the group.
If all this activity sounds a bit much, just take a stroll along the river - guaranteed to lift your spirits. And if you happen to see a bald eagle perched on a tall tree on the far bank, so much the better.

Times are Tough? Buy Something From a Neighbor.
Ever hear of the multiplier effect? It’s the economy’s equivalent of “what goes around comes around.” That’s right. If you spend your money locally YOU will get some of it back.
“Think of yourself as being at the center of your own consumption Solar System with emanating rays of purchasing power,” says Michael H. Schuman, author of The Small-Mart Revolution: How Local Businesses are Beating the Global Competition. “Each purchase you make triggers purchases by others. For instance, a dollar spent on rent might be spent again by your property owner at your local grocer, who in turn pays an employee, who in turn buys a movie ticket” This is the multiplier effect. “The more times a dollar circulates within a defined geographic area and the faster it circulates without leaving that area, the more income, wealth, and jobs it generates. This basic concept in community economics points to the importance of maximizing the number of dollars entering a community and minimizing their subsequent departure.”
“The multiplier obviously diminishes with geographic distance,” Shuman continues. “The farther from home you go to make a purchase, the less of the multiplier comes back and touches your community. Buy a radio down the block, the multiplier is high; buy it ten miles away, the multiplier weakens; buy it mail order, and your community gets practically no multiplier.”
The most obvious boundaries for the multiplier benefits are the taxing subdivisions within which we live. All business generates taxes of one kind or another. Businesses that are paying taxes to the school district, for example, are paying in to a pool of money that we would all have to top up with our own cash if they didn’t.
The Schuylerville community has many local businesses that compete for our money with national chains. If you are comparing their products dollar for dollar, don’t forget the multiplier effect. For every dollar you spend locally, you get a financial return.
Think of Byron’s Market, Curtis Lumber, Saratoga Apple, and Parisi’s Appliance House. Think of Mid-Town Service, Joe’s Garage, Shelly’s Barber Shop, Olde Saratoga Bike and Board. There are many more: the bank, insurance agency, the restaurants… you probably know one, some or most of the folks who own or work in those places. You can probably even guess where they will spend the money you spend with them.
When times get tough, spend with your neighbors. The multiplier effect will put some of that money right back in your pocket, and remember… what goes around, comes around.
