SARATOGA SPRINGS – The Veitch name traces a path through city history that extends over several decades.

City Police Chief Greg Veitch’s great-grandfather’s generation were comprised of horsemen and jockeys, his grandfather serves as director of the city Urban Renewal Agency, and his dad was a schoolteacher in the Saratoga Springs School district for more than 30 years. A number of siblings, including Supervisor Matt Veitch, currently work for the city in a variety of departments.   

For Greg Veitch, his career path was revealed to him one day as the teen sat in a local church.

“There was no law enforcement in my background, but like a lot of little boys, you grow up wanting to be a cowboy, a fireman, an army man,” Veitch recalls.  

“I was 15 or 16 and sitting in St. Mary’s Church. The priest was quoting from Matthew,” he says. The verse that jumped out at him reads: Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God. 

“That really clicked with me. When you’re 16 or so you want to be on God’s Team, you want to have an exciting life,” Veitch says. “That’s when it dawned on me: that’s what cops do. So, it’s really been a calling for me from that point on.”  

Veitch began his law enforcement career in Burlington, Vermont where he worked just shy of a year before getting hired in his Saratoga Springs hometown in 1995. He moved through the ranks of the police department – from patrol officer and narcotics investigator to sergeant and was named chief of police in May 2013. The date is significant.

“Last year, I felt I was being called to do something else. I was on a Mission Trip to inner-city Miami and I started to get the feeling: hey, listen, you’ve got to do something other than what you’re doing.” Veitch expressed his thoughts to his wife, Jen, and May 31, 2019 was chosen as his retirement date from the Saratoga Springs Police Department. The date marks his six-year anniversary of his appointment chief.   

Veitch plans to continue to teach criminal justice courses at SUNY Adirondack -which he has done the past five years, as well as instructing officers on a variety of topics at the regional Zone 5 Police Academy. In the fall, he plans to publish a follow-up book to his initial publication - “All the Law in the World Won't Stop Them,” featuring stories of criminals in the Saratoga Springs of yesteryear.

Veitch says he’s most proud of the police department. “The officers, the supervisors who every day go out and do the job they’re supposed to in an honorable way. I’m also proud of the relationships we’ve built with all the local enforcement agencies and the victims’ advocacy groups, because without good relationships it can be a disaster.”

He credits his colleagues, partners and mentors in law enforcement and the love and support of his family for providing him love and encouragement over his 23-year career.

Technology, says the chief, is the biggest change he’s witnessed over the decades, providing officers with rapid access to records and information. “Anyone in a job 20 or 30 years will see those types of changes. For us, I never would have thought that you would be recording yourself all the time,” he says of the body cameras with which that all city officers are equipped. “Not that I’m opposed to it.  When I was starting out as an officer, I would have liked that.”

Chief Veitch’s retirement is effective May 31. Public Safety Commissioner Peter Martin will appoint a new police chief.      

Mike Wolfe, Frank Fritz, and their team return to New York in May when they plan to film episodes of the series American Pickers throughout the region.

The documentary series explores the fascinating world of antique “picking” on the History Channel and follows pickers Mike and Frank as they hunt for America’s most valuable antiques.

American Pickers is looking for leads to explore regional hidden treasures.

Soil Cleanup, Road Closure to Continue through June on Excelsior

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Construction work will continue through June in the Old Red Spring area on a stretch of Excelsior Avenue to address contaminated soil at the Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation Superfund site. 

The project area comprises approximately 0.5 acres of land and includes the Old Red Spring well and pavilion and a portion of Excelsior Avenue north of the spring and part of a paved church parking lot west of the spring area. 

The planned soil remediation will treat and contain tarry liquid located approximately 14 to 18 feet below the ground surface in the Old Red Spring area. The liquid migrated to the area via a former manufactured gas plant located nearby. 

The Old Red Spring well – which will be retrofitted by adding a new protective steel outer casing - gets its water from a separate deep aquifer that has not been impacted by the coal tar or its associated chemical compounds, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA adds that Loughberry Lake - the source of drinking water for the city of Saratoga Springs, has not been impacted by contamination from the site either. 

The work is being conducted by the Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation with oversight by the EPA, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the New York State Department of Health, and the city of Saratoga Springs.

Excelsior Avenue will continue to be closed to vehicle through-traffic between Rock Street and High Rock Avenue during remedial construction. 

City Engineer Timothy Wales said this week that the road will re-open in late June and in advance of the Firecracker 4 Road Race, which takes place July 4. Should all work not be completed by that time, the parties will return in the fall to complete the project, Wales said.

SARATOGA SPRINGS – Primaries will take place June 25, and the General Election on Nov. 5. All five City Council seats and both city Supervisor seats are up for election this year. 

The Saratoga Springs Democratic Committee endorsed all four Democratic incumbents running for re-election: Meg Kelly, Mayor; Michele Madigan, Finance Commissioner; John Franck, Commissioner of Accounts; and Tara Gaston, County Supervisor.

The SSDC also voted to endorse one of its members, Dillon Moran, for Commissioner of Public Works. “Dillon’s engineering education, business background and close study of the City’s infrastructure and operations all form a solid basis for our support,” SSDC Chair Courtney DeLeonardis said, in a statement.

For Public Safety Commissioner, where the Democratic incumbent is not seeking re-election, the Committee decided not to endorse at this time.

“We heard from two strong, well-qualified candidates – Eileen Finneran and Kendall Hicks -- who each impressed Committee members,” DeLeonardis said. “Both individuals have a lot to offer the City. I believe Committee members, along with other supporters, will help both candidates qualify for the primary election in June, when voters will decide who runs for Public Safety Commissioner on the Democratic line in the fall.”

The Saratoga Springs City Republican Committee endorsed four candidates at their meeting Feb. 26.

Anthony “Skip” Scirocco received the committee’s endorsement for Commissioner of Public Works; Robin Dalton received the committee’s endorsement for Commissioner of Public Safety and Matthew Veitch and Stephen Mittler, each received the committee’s endorsement for County Board of Supervisor. 

“I am honored to receive the endorsement of the Saratoga Springs Republicans for another term,” said Matt Veitch, a current member of the County Board of Supervisors. “I look forward to campaigning on my record of public service and representing the residents of our city at the county level.  Keeping the County on a continued path of low taxes, efficient government, and maintaining our great quality of life are my priorities for the upcoming year."
