BALLSTON SPA — Dozens of Ballston Spa High School student-athletes were honored during an annual college athlete recognition ceremony on June 3, including state wrestling champion Mia Collins.
34 students were recognized in total, including athletes headed to Division I, II, and III schools. Six of them were three-sport athletes and 13 were two-sport athletes. Collectively, the group had a cumulative grade point average of 92%.
During the ceremony, State Senator Jim Tedisco and Assemblywoman Mary Beth Walsh honored Collins, the New York State 132-pound division wrestling champ. Collins is currently ranked eighth nationally in her weight class.
“Mia Collins is a trailblazer and a tremendous student scholar athlete whose state championship victory capped off an undefeated regular season record of 10-0, along with being the first New York State Girls Wrestling Champion from Ballston Spa High School,” Tedisco said. “With Mia being only a junior, I have a feeling her already incredible athletic career is just getting started.”
“I’m incredibly proud to see Mia reach yet another milestone in her athletic career,” added Walsh. “Maintaining a 98 grade point average as a senior and excelling at a sport as she has is an amazing accomplishment. I can’t wait to see what other glass ceilings Mia will shatter as she furthers her education at Columbia over the next four years. Who knows, maybe we’ll see her on ESPN or at the Olympics before her college career is done.”

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Shania Twain, one of the best-selling musicians of all time, and her Shania Twain Foundation are donating $25,000 to the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York, providing meals for 100,000 people. The gift is part of Twain’s commitment to donate to local food banks at every stop of her tour, which includes a July 20 performance at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC).
“At the Shania Twain Foundation, we believe everyone deserves access to nutritious food,” Twain said in a news release. “These donations to the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern NY will provide direct support throughout the region. We can make a meaningful impact across the country by helping to ensure that food banks are well stocked and, in turn, uplift people in every city we visit this summer.”
The Shania Twain Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of children and families facing poverty and food insecurity. The foundation supports programs across North America that provide access to food, education, mental well-being, and other resources for underserved communities.
Old World Gourmet Market Opens in Wilton

WILTON — Just hours after its doors first opened, the Old World Gourmet Market in Wilton was packed with customers hoping to get first dibs on the specialty grocery store’s extensive selections of pastas, tomato sauces, olive oils, steaks, sandwiches, and store-made ravioli.
The space on Route 50, formerly occupied by Pier 1, has a distinct Italian-American feel but also offers culinary products familiar to Ireland, Greece, and Spain, among other European and Middle Eastern destinations (not to mention some products closer to home, such as New York and Vermont).
“There’s not a lick of Italian in me, but I’ve been waiting for this to open,” Andrea Mulholland of the Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce told Old World’s owners Maria and John Biagini at the grand opening on Wednesday morning. “This has great potential here in the Town of Wilton and I’m very excited for you.”
The Biaginis were New York City-based horse racing fans who frequented the Spa City before deciding to relocate here. Eager to bring the tastes of downstate to upstate, they are making their dough with New York City water, an ingredient many say is crucial in creating New York-tasting bagels and breads.
Old World Gourmet Market is now open for business at 3078 Route 50 in Wilton.
Malta Honors Its Vets
58 bricks were unveiled in the ceremony. Proceeds from the sale go to support the efforts of the Malta Veterans Appreciation Program.
The Town of Malta and the Malta Veterans Appreciation Program honored its veterans and unveiled new additions to its veterans memorial in a recent ceremony outside the town building.
The ceremony took place at the David T. Wallingford Veteran Park on Route Nine, outside the Town of Malta town hall. The ceremony featured State Senator James Tedisco (NY-40) and New York Assemblywoman Carrie Woerner who both spoke at the event.
The program unveiled 58 bricks at the memorial. Each brick was purchased by community members to honor a specific veteran or to support the work of program and show appreciation for veterans in the Malta area. Proceeds from the sale of the bricks help the program continue their work with veterans.
During the ceremony, Sen. Tedisco awarded the organization the Senate’s Empire Award for their work with veterans. In addition, Assemblywoman Woerner presented a resolution honoring David Wallingford to his widow. Wallingford was a Vietnam War veteran and active member of the Malta community who died in March.
In his remarks, Tedisco praised the veterans and the work of the Wallingford family for their work in the community. Similar remarks were made by Assemblywoman Woerner who highlighted the work of veterans in the community including the Wallingford family.

“When the history of New York is written and people go into the law books to look at who were the leaders of our era, they will find David T Wallingford as one as one of the people who shaped our state and community,” Assemblywoman Woerner said.
Rennee Farley, Chairperson of the Malta Veterans Appreciation Program said the program started in 2016 as a way to give back to veterans in the community. They took over the monument in 2017 and have been expanding it ever since.
Beyond the monument, Farley said the program works to meet veterans needs no matter what they need.
“In just this year, we’ve already done four roofs, completely replaced two floors, we’ve done a handicap ramp, fixed two vehicles and a lot of groceries,” Farley said. “We don’t just try to fix them temporarily; we try to fix them permanently.”
Farley said the program works with other organizations to find those permanent solutions while they work on the immediate problems. They also help veterans find homes through their Homes for Hometown Heroes program.
Farley highlighted the work they do and encouraged others to donate not just money but time as well through volunteering
“There something for everyone,” Farley said. “If someone says, ‘ I love my country, I love our soldiers, I wish I knew what to do,’ call me because I know what needs to be done.”
Fire Breaks Out at Ballston Spa Gas Station
A gas station in Ballston Spa has been damaged after a large fire engulfed several pumps and at least two vehicles.
Crews from multiple jurisdictions were dispatched to the scene of USA Gas at the intersection of routes 50 and 67. Ballston Spa Fire Captain Mike Coffey said the call was dispatched at around 10:24 a.m.
The fire caused portions of State Route 50, State Route 67 and Ballston Ave to close for a short time, according to the Saratoga County Sheriff’s Office. Several people had minor injuries, however no serious injuries were reported.
At least 10 agencies responded to the blaze including Union Fire Company, Eagle Matt Lee Fire Department and Saratoga Springs Department. The Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Unit and the Saratoga County Cause and Origin Team are currently investigating the blaze
While the cause of the fire is under investigation, gas station owner Erin Ozbay said the pumps had received their tri-annual inspection in the last few weeks.

Saratoga Tennis Players Make History, Head to State Championships

SARATOGA SPRINGS — For the first time in Saratoga Springs High School history, two of its varsity tennis doubles teams will compete in the state championships at the iconic USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, home of the US Open.
On Monday afternoon, doubles partners Ian Hill and Kevin Rosas (who finished 2nd in the Section 2 tournament last week) and Liam Chartrand and Ryan Clancy (who placed third) were participating in one of many practice sessions leading up to their trip to New York City, working on their volleys.
“It’s incredible,” Chartrand said about playing at Billie Jean King. “Playing on those courts is like night and day. You get to play on courts that professional players play on and you get to play in front of kids from every single high school combined. It’s a bigger stage.”
“You’re surrounded by seats so it’ll echo,” Hill said. “It’s really loud when you hit the ball.”
“Yeah, that’s another big part,” added Chartrand. “When you hit a serve, it echoes for about a second after. It’s kind of crazy.”
The booming Blue Streak serves can be heard during this weekend’s tournament, when first-round doubles action kicks off on Friday morning. There are only four doubles teams representing Section 2, and two of them hail from the Spa City.
The tournament is poised to be a memorable final hurrah for Hill, Rosas, Chartrand, and Clancy, all of whom are seniors who have been playing at the varsity level for at least five years.
“I think we know that the competition is going to be harder than we’ve ever played against. I know that there are kids in there that are committed to some top colleges; there are some top players in that tournament. But we don’t have any pressure on ourselves, because our whole goal was to get to states,” Chartrand said.
Nonetheless, the Blue Streaks still firmly believe they could upset one of those top teams if they play to the best of their abilities. In this historic season, anything is possible.
The Big Belmont Preview:Post Draw, Predictions, Policies, Performers
ARATOGA SPRINGS — Decorated storefronts. A free concert downtown. Green banners on lamp posts, everywhere you look. Even a limited-edition Stewart’s ice cream flavor. It’s all in celebration of what has finally arrived: the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival, which has returned to the Saratoga Race Course for only the second time in history.
The third leg of the Triple Crown will feature a rematch between Sovereignty and Journalism, the first and second place finishers (respectively) in this year’s Kentucky Derby. While Sovereignty skipped the Preakness Stakes, Journalism instead ran and won it. With one leg of the Triple Crown apiece, the two horses now aim to settle the score at the Spa.
Post Draw & Predictions
The live post draw show, hosted at a bedazzled and champagne-stocked Universal Preservation Hall (UPH) on Monday, resulted in the following field:
1. Hill Road (10-1)
2. Sovereignty (2-1)
3. Rodriguez (6-1)
4. Uncaged (30-1)
5. Crudo (15-1)
6. Baeza (4-1)
7. Journalism (8/5)
8. Heart of Honor (30-1)
Following the draw, Fox Sports host Acacia Courtney Clement spoke with some of the top trainers heading into the Belmont, including Bill Mott, whose Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty drew the second post position.
“We’ve been very lucky with everything that’s gone on since he’s been [in Saratoga],” Mott told Clement. “He’s been moving well over the track, eating the bottom out of the feeding tub, and he’s carrying his weight well. So we hope he’s doing as good on Saturday and he’s doing this morning.”
Mott attracted controversy recently over his widely reported comment that he and his horse’s connections decided not to run Sovereignty in the Preakness because “we didn’t feel like it.” Although this has perhaps made Journalism more of a fan favorite due to the Michael McCarthy-trained horse running in all three legs of the Triple Crown, it can’t be forgotten that when nose-to-nose in the Kentucky Derby, Sovereignty was able to put Journalism away. And Journalism, who subsequently won the Preakness in exhilarating fashion, has had a full schedule while Sovereignty has been resting comfortably at the Spa. Nonetheless, Journalism will enter the Belmont as the morning-line favorite.
“He’s been the same kind of horse since July of last summer,” McCarthy told Clement. “He does everything you’d ask a good horse to do; eats well, trains well, acts well. I thought through the last 6, 7 weeks here his energy has been the same throughout. Obviously, Saratoga we know is very good for horses. He seems a little bit re-energized up here.”
Although much of the focus of this year’s Belmont is on the heavyweight showdown between Journalism and Sovereignty, other contenders are hoping for an upset akin to Dornoch’s victory in 2024. Baeza, trained by John Shirreffs, finished third in the Kentucky Derby last month, and, much like Sovereignty, has been resting his bones since then. Prior to the Kentucky, Baeza finished 2nd in the Santa Anita Derby, right behind Journalism. Even if Baeza isn’t the next Dornoch, a top-three finish certainly seems plausible.
“Baeza is the best bet,” said Sara Elbadwi, one of the New York Racing Association’s handicappers, at the Embrace the Belmont event at UPH on Tuesday night. “The ride that Flavien Prat gave Baeza in the Derby, he had post 21, all the way to the outside of 20 horses. He had no choice but to have a wide journey in that race. I think that he can sit a little bit closer, as he has in his past races.”
Offering their picks alongside Elbadwi at Embrace the Belmont were fellow handicappers Matthew DeSantis (who picked Journalism for the Belmont), and Seth Merrow (who went with Sovereignty).

More Bathrooms?
At least one eagle-eyed social media user photographed what appeared to be more than a dozen portable toilets being trucked into the Saratoga Race Course last Friday. Lines for the bathrooms at last year’s festival were an oft-noted topic of complaint that perhaps will be addressed for the 2025 edition.
Do it again next year?
Although not yet confirmed by NYRA, speculation is growing that the Belmont will return to Saratoga for a third time in 2026 as construction of the new Belmont Park on Long Island is expected to continue well into next year.
Giving Back
Trainers Michael McCarthy, George Weaver, Jonathan Thomas, Whit Beckman, and Amelia Green—a group of former Todd Pletcher assistants—have pledged to donate a percentage of their earnings from the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival to support the mission of the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation, a nonprofit that is the oldest and largest Thoroughbred aftercare organization in the the country.
Pulitzer Prize Winner Discusses Battles of Saratoga and the Art of History

SARATOGA SPRINGS — About ten miles from the site of the Battles of Saratoga, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Rick Atkinson assessed the historic importance of the events, calling them a “manifest catastrophe for the British.”
Atkinson’s discussion of the famed skirmishes jived with what would probably be considered common knowledge among locals: Benjamin Franklin used the victory to entice the French into the war, a critical turning point that ultimately led to American independence. But he also described why the battlefields were a valuable resource for the second installment of his American Revolution trilogy, titled “The Fate of the Day: The War for America, Fort Ticonderoga to Charleston, 1777-1780.”
“If you go to Saratoga, you’ve got some sense of the sacrifice that was made there,” Atkinson told a large audience at the Saratoga Springs City Center last Friday. “You get some feel for it. Even though it’s 250 years ago, there are ghosts there and you can feel them. It’s also important for me as an amateur to see the ground and to understand tactically why they did this and why they did that.
“I spend a lot of time understanding the flora and fauna of places. When I go to Saratoga or Valley Forge or whatever, I’ve got apps that show me what’s growing there, and I use that to be able to bring the reader in touch with the natural world the way that they were then…I think that’s one of my ambitions as a writer, to recreate that.”
Atkinson elaborated on his artistic aspirations as a chronicler of history, saying he hoped to bring long-dead people back to life, make the reader feel like they don’t know what’s going to happen (even when they do), and empower the reader’s imagination by allowing them to hear, smell, and feel historic events as if they were unfolding in the present.
“That is when I think you begin to transform history into art, when the reader’s imagination is playing on the words on the page in a way that they have become engrossed in the story,” Atkinson said.
One perhaps surprising detail Atkinson uncovered in his research was that he found George III to not quite be the “royal brute” described by Thomas Paine, nor the “tyrant” that Thomas Jefferson called him in the Declaration of Independence. Atkinson was granted access to thousands of previously unpublished letters written by George III, which helped him better understand the king’s perspective.
Cover of Atkinson’s “The Fate of the Day: The War for America, Fort Ticonderoga to Charleston, 1777-1780” provided.
“He’s a constitutional monarch,” Atkinson said. “He’s a patriot king. He’s a child of the Enlightenment who’s a great patron of the arts and the sciences. He’s got a lot going for him.”
The scholar’s latest tome covers, among many other things, the Battles of Saratoga and the role of Fort Ticonderoga in the American Revolution. His previous work includes the Liberation Trilogy (“An Army at Dawn,” “The Day of Battle,” and “The Guns at Last Light”), as well as “The British Are Coming,” the first volume of his Revolution Trilogy.
His appearance at the Saratoga Springs City Center was presented by the Northshire Bookstore and the Saratoga 250 Commission, which had “soldiers” in revolutionary garb posted outside the event.
No Drone Zone – FAA Restricts Flights over Saratoga Springs
A map depicting the restricted air space over Saratoga (Created by Aidan Cahill)
It’ll be clear skies over the race track this Saturday. Not because of the weather but due to temporary flight restrictions imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
The restrictions were announced Jun. 1 by the FAA in a Notice to Airman. The restrictions are in place during the Belmont on Broadway festival and the race itself and only affect aircraft flying 1,200 feet above the ground or lower.
During Belmont on Broadway, flight restrictions were imposed on two separate areas in Saratoga Springs. The first area covered was a half-mile radius surrounding the intersection of Broadway and Ellsworth Jones Pl. It was only during effect during the Belmont on Broadway.
The second area, meanwhile, is a half-mile radius from a point in center of the Saratoga Racecourse. This area will also go into effect from 12 p.m. to 11:59 p.m. on Jun. 6 and from 11 a.m. Jun. 7 to 3 a.m. Jun. 8.
According to Saratoga Springs Police, the restriction was requested by police out of an abundance of caution to prevent drones from interfering with the events. Police said this was the first time they had received the restricted airspace and there are no plans to request it for future races.
In a city council meeting on Jun. 3, Commissioner of Public Safety Tim Coll said commercial operators can get approval from the police and fire departments to fly their drones during the event. According to the FAA, of the over 1 million drones registered in the US, 420,825 are commercial drones.
A similar restriction was put in place surrounding Super Bowl LIX according to an FAA press release from January.
The 1,200 feet restriction is less than the height of the Empire State Building at 1,250 feet. It’s well below the cruising altitudes of common aircraft such as the Boeing 737 at around 35,000 feet and Cessna Skyhawk which can fly as high as 14,000 feet.
In addition to the restrictions of drone flight, Nelson Street from Wright St to Crescent Ave will be closed on Friday and Saturday starting at 6:30 p.m. and will reopen at about 8 p.m. The ride share pickup point has been moved from near Siro’s on Lincoln Ave. to East Ave. near Potato Chip Lane.
