From The Governors Chai

From the Governor’s Desk Last month was a very busy month. With club

visits, Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI), Polio Day, Membership Mixers and numerous club events, it has undoubtedly kept us all going strong. And by the way, the Glens Falls Club made a surprise donation to our District Polio effort at the RLI event at Siena College.

Thank you Glens Falls!

And this month, November, is Foundation Month,

with our biggest and best event and fund raiser for the foundation occurring on 19 Nov 2015. But before we talk about the foundation dinner, you should know that we are taking two busloads of District 7190 Rotarians, Exchange Students, Interactors and chaperons to New York City for Rotary Day at the United Nations, Saturday, 7 Nov 2015. Some of our Rotarians may even be on the Today Show that morning. At the UN, we will meet with UN officials and our own Rotary International President, Ravi Ravindran to discuss world events and Rotary’s role in them.

Now, back to our Foundation Dinner: It is

happening at the Stratton Air National Guard Base, on Thursday evening November 19th. This is not only our major fund raiser for the foundation, but this year it will be a very special event for our Rotarian veterans. We will be honoring them and presenting them with a special Rotary pin. I would hope that each club would be represented at the dinner and would either bring or sponsor a veteran from their club. We would also like each club to submit a picture of each one of their veterans in uniform while they were on active duty. These pictures can be sent to Ellen Schaefer ([email protected]) or Ed Brown ([email protected]) in hard copy or digital format (preferably not in a PDF format). This dinner is going to be a very special event for all of us.

And finally, have a very Happy Thanksgiving. I know that a number of clubs will be serving their communities by helping those families that are less fortunate than themselves during this holiday. And this is why, I say, “You are a gift to the World.”

God bless you and our Rotary efforts. Milan

Ballston Spa Rotary Has been VERY Busy!

We've had a very busy month. Back on September 12, we participated as the only food vendor for Curtis Lumber's Community Day, high lighting many of the local businesses and Not for Profit organizations that are in this area. Following up on September 26, we held a very successful Food Drive and ShelterBox collection in conjunction with the Double M 25th anniversary of their Haunted Hayrides, called Feed the Living, Fear the Dead. We then completed our bench project for the Village of Ballston Spa. We installed 2 benches in a couple of small parks in the Village, giving folks a place to rest while walking around our wonderful community. And on October 11, we ended up the month at The Way We Were Car Show in Ballston Spa, offering many delicious treats along with additional collections for our ShelterBox program. Now we can rest a bit until November when we start our annual Christmas Tree sales. Busy, Busy, Busy.

Global Grants put the "International" into Rotary International

District 7190 is pleased to welcome Dr. Brian Lisse, who has been saving lives in Malawi. Dr. Lisse, along with his colleagues, leads a medical team each year to Malawi, including up to 10 high school volunteers! They help care for patients with malaria, malnutrition, pneumonia, diarrhea, AIDS and dehydration. Thankfully, almost all of the patients improve. Sadly, the team feels helpless each time a child or pregnant mother dies of malaria. So Dr. Lisse's and his colleagues' latest endeavor is to spray the mosquitoes, using techniques endorsed by the World Health Organization. The results have been fantastic, with fewer deaths and much healthier and productive villagers. Dr. Lisse will share his inspirational stories and, via a ROTARY GLOBAL GRANT, the plans for quadrupling the scope of the pilot program to serve 20,000 people in 2016. To meet Dr. Lisse in person, Dr. Lisse will be the featured guest speaker on: * Nov 3, Tuesday 7:15 AM, Niskayuna Rotary; Blue Ribbon Diner, 1801 State St.; Schenectady * Nov 3, Tuesday 12:15 PM, Scotia Rotary; Turf Tavern, corner of Routes 5 & 50 * Nov 3, Tuesday 6:00 PM, South Glens Falls Rotary; Humbuggs Pub; 569 Gansevoort Road, Fort Edward In addition, Dr. Lisse will be giving a brief introduction at: * Nov 2, Monday, 6:15 PM, Lake George Rotary; Holiday Inn, 2223 State Route 9 * Nov 4, Wednesday, 7:30 AM, Schenectady East Rotary; Hibernian Hall; 1748 State St. * Nov 4, Wednesday, 12:15 PM, Saratoga Springs Rotary; Longfellows; 500 Union Ave Internationally-minded individuals are invited and encouraged to attend.

The Role of Rotary in Establishing the Saratoga Battlefield

By Paul Perreault

Member of the Ballston Spa Rotary Club and Malta Town Historian

The early 1920s was a period of intense

growth in the Rotary movement in the small communities of Saratoga, Washington and Warren Counties. Prior to May 1922, only 4 communities- Albany, Troy, Schenectady and Amsterdam- had clubs. But on May 1, 1922 clubs in Glens Falls and Ballston Spa were chartered, followed quickly by Cobleskill, Granville, Mechanicville and Saratoga Springs in 1924: Hudson Falls in 1925 and Cohoes in 1927.

With the energy and enthusiasm of recent converts, they looked around for “big” projects to tackle in order to demonstrate their commitment to the ideals of Rotary. The upcoming 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Saratoga, scheduled to take place in 1927, must have appealed to the “live wires’ of the nearby Rotary Clubs who quickly became a part of a movement which included citizens of Vermont and New England (whose ancestors fought at the Battle of Bennington and Saratoga) and perhaps, most importantly, two men, Adolph Ochs, the owner of the New York Times and George O. Slingerland, Mayor of Mechanicville and founding member of the Mechanicville Rotary Club.

Because of Ochs social status, he is often cited as being the prime mover in the effort but this is what Ochs said of Slingerlands’ role “My interest in the Battlefield of Saratoga is due to the enthusiasm, self-sacrifice and patriotism of Mayor George O. Slingerland of Mechanicville. He is the man who brought me to the field”. Two other members of the Mechanicville Rotary Club (both from Stillwater) active in the effort were Rev. John Finn, pastor of St. Peter’s Church, and lawyer Arthur Vinett who in 1981 wrote of the role his Club played in the early years.

On September 18 and 19, 1925, over 400 Rotarians and their wives from New York, Vermont and Massachusetts gathered at the site of the Battlefield, which at that time was privately owned. Meeting on the porch of the Neilson House, site of the American army encampment in 1777, they passed a resolution calling on Rotarians to work for a 150th

anniversary commemorative event and urged support for permanent recognition of the Battlefield by either the State or Federal government. Spurred on in large part by Slingerland, this grassland campaign took root and blossomed. Slingerland addressed Rotary Clubs in three states with his message and the Ballston Spa Club heard the message. Ballston Spa Rotarians William Andrews and Thomas Kerley became members of the Battlefield Celebration Committees.

In 1926, due in large part to support from Rotarians, the State of New York approved the purchase of four farms and created a State Historic Preserve which became known as the Saratoga Battlefield. Slingerlands was appointed the first Superintendent and made the following pledge to the future. “Saratoga will not be neglected in the future as in the past. New York State will not fail… The whole area will be acquired, the entrenchments restored, proper monuments and landscaping will glorify the field, and it will be mecca of not only Rotarians but the whole nation, who will come here to do honor to our forefathers, and to walk reverently over the sacred spot where our own United States was born.” Anyone who ever visited the Battlefield know how well Slingerlands, and those who followed in his footsteps, keep this promise.

One of Slingerlands first duties was to begin planning for the upcoming 150th Anniversary celebration scheduled for October, 1927. Judging by the numbers involved, the celebration was a great success. An estimated crowd of 100,000 spectators and participants viewed the pageants and heard speeches from the governors of New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Al Smith, of New York. The 25,000 automobiles that tried to get to the event overwhelmed the primitive road system and many were still in long lines at the close of the day’s program. Crowd control was handled by a 200 member contingent of State Troopers and logistics by units the New York National Guard.

The pageant was directed by Percy Burrell the “king” of pageants. Each of the 6,200 participants was provided with a four page set of instructions which covered everything from the time and place of assembly to what to do about their costumes and such items as chewing gum, wrist watches and glasses – all prohibited.

The pageant itself started at 2 P.M. but was preceded by a 150 gun salute at 9 A.M., the dedication of the New Hampshire monument at 10 A.M. and speeches by the three governors at 11 A.M. The show was described as “(a) gigantic historical pageant depicting in dance, song, and drama the opening scenes of the American Revolution, and more particularly the striking events and episodes in the Battle of Saratoga.” Participants included musicians, choristers, dancers, and volunteers costumed as soldiers, farmers, Indians, and women and children.

The Saratogian newspaper announced that “Ballston Spa closed down shop this noon and went to the Saratoga Battlefield celebration. Scores of Ballstonians, many of them taking part in the pageant, went to the historic battlefield this morning, but the great exodus did not take place until early this afternoon. Stores, mills, offices and shops closed at noon and throughout the forenoon there was a hustle and bustle of people getting ready to go to the celebration.” The New York Times featured a page one article describing the event as did the Saratogian and Ballston Journal. The Saratogian listed many locals who reenacted original participants, including two participants from the Ballston Spa Rotary Club: Harold Van Aernem and Wendell Townley.

For a few years after the celebration the Mechanicville Rotary Club held patriotic services annually at the Battlefield on October 7th, the anniversary of the Battle of Bemis Heights. In 1929 Slingerland planned a special ceremony on October 17 to commemorate the British surrender and invited Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt to speak. F.D.R. accepted and reminded Slingerlands “Do not forget that I cannot readily get up and down steps.”

After the excitement of the 150th Anniversary celebration, Superintendent Slingerlands began working toward including the Battlefield in the National Park System. Although he did not live to see it, (dying in 1932) in 1938, with the help of former Governor and later President Franklin Roosevelt, the Saratoga Battlefield became part of the National Park System, as it remains today.

In that same year, area Rotary Clubs dedicated a memorial tablet (now located at the foot of the path leading to the Visitor Center) which reads “In Memoriam George O. Slingerlands 1872-1932 His vision, patriotism and untiring efforts were largely responsible for the acquisition, development and

preservation of the Saratoga Battlefield by the State of New York. Erected by the Rotary Clubs of this vicinity.“

Rotarians and all Americans owe a debt of gratitude to those early Rotarians for their foresight, dedication and commitment to the ideals of Rotary. They must have taken great pride in being a part of something that will probably survive forever.

Rotary District 7190 Foundation Event

Thursday, November 19, 2015 109th Airlift Wing, Stratton ANG Base

1 Air National Guard Road, Schenectady, NY

Dear Rotarians and Guests, Please join us on Thursday, November 19, 2015 at the Stratton ANG Base in Scotia as we celebrate Rotary Foundation month and The Rotary Foundation's first 98 years of “doing good in the world.” We invite you to become a member of the Honorary Committee by making a $100 or more contribution to the Annual Fund between July 1 and November 1, 2015 or have a Rotary Foundation Direct (TRF Direct) account in the amount of $100 or more. Your contributions to The Rotary Foundation help to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty around the world. Rotarians around the world have led the charge in the eradication of polio since 1985 and now we are closer than ever before to this goal. Nigeria is on the brink of becoming polio free, without a case of wild polio-virus in almost one year. While it is too early to celebrate, Nigeria is poised to be taken off the list of polio-endemic countries by WHO in September, leaving only two polio-endemic countries: Pakistan and Afghanistan. Our commitment to polio eradication needs to remain strong, so we are asking you to consider an extra $25 contribution to Polio Plus, becoming a member of the Gift to the World Committee. The overall theme for the Foundation Event this year will be to recognize and salute District 7190 Rotarians who are military veterans. One of the ways we can recognize our veterans is to help advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through our contributions to The Rotary Foundation. Please see the attached Honorary Committee Form for more details. We look forward to seeing you on November 19, 2015 as we continue “doing good in the world.” Yours in Rotary Service, Olive P. Scott, PDG – 1995-96 Honorary Committee, Chair

HELP ROTARY WIN THE FIGHT AGAINST POLIO Here are the top 5 reasons to

END POLIO NOW!

1. The human cost: If we choose to control polio rather than eradicate it, polio could rebound to 10 million cases in the next 40 years.

2. Its achievable: We have the tools to end polio and the means to reach all children. The new bivalent vaccine successfully targets the two remaining strains of polio in one dose.

3. It’s a good investment: An independent study published in the medical journal estimates that the $9 billion global investment in a polio-free world will net an economic benefit of $40 to $50 billion over the next 20 years.

4. It strengthens the system: Our polio eradication efforts have established an active disease surveillance network in all countries that is being used for other health interventions such as measles vaccinations, deworming tablets, and mosquito bed nets.

5. It sets the stage: The ability to reach all children with the polio vaccine is proof of concept that we can succeed on our next major global health initiative.
