Somers wheat, cattle, dairy, potatoes and apples

e following is from the Somers Historical Society:

Suppose you lived in Stephentown (Somers) in 1788. Fifth generation Somers farmer, Lee C. Stuart (1931) PHOTO COURTESY OF THE STUART FAMILY
Your town was largely woodland, but pioneer farmers were Seventh generation Somers farmer, Robert L. Stuart (2019) PHOTO COURTESY OF SOMERS HISTORICAL SOCIETY
clearing the land and creating subsistence farms. One of the
crops that grew well in the rich soil was wheat. With lots
of streams, grist mills were built, which ground the wheat
creating a successful cash crop. Hungry people in the city
needed bread.

In the early 1800s, the farmers found their pastures were
perfect for cattle and sheep to be kept on their way to market
in New York City. ese livestock were brought from up to
300 miles away and remained in Somers for a while, fatten-
ing up for the day when they would be driven to New York
City markets creating another source of income. Farmers
had become drovers.

In 1807 Old Bet arrived in Somers. Many exotic animals
from the growing menageries came to winter in town. In
1839 there were about 2,500 heads of cattle, 4,580 sheep,
2,870 swine and 480 horses in Somers. ere was 20,400
acres of improved land.

Around 1840, one of the Somers Menageries moved out
west to be able to start performing earlier in the Spring. e
future New York Central Railroad inched its way up north
and began to transport cattle and sheep from far away di-
rectly into the city stockyards, resulting in the gradual death
of the cattle business in Somers.

But the fertile pastures remained and farmers began
converting to dairy farming. By 1889 almost 90 percent of
Somers land was used for dairy farms. Many trades and pro-
fessions associated with that business settled in towns. Dairy
farmers would milk their herd each day and put the milk
in large milk cans which were kept cool in a Spring House.

ey were taken to one of the railway stations such as Purdys,
Goldens Bridge, Granite Springs, Lincolndale, Amawalk, or
Baldwin Place where they would be placed on trains bound
for New York City. Approximately 3,500 quarts of milk were
shipped daily from Lincolndale alone around 1872.

A Bordens milk processing plant was built in Somers in
1907 but burnt down in 1912. Farmers continued to ship
milk by rail and later by truck. With the introduction of re-
frigeration, the small scale dairy farms were being replaced
by larger farms farther away. Some farmers began growing
potatoes. In the 1890s there was a horse breeding farm with
75 horses in Granite Springs. Orchards were planted and
became pro table ventures. By 1920 at least 10,000 barrels
of apples were being produced. In the 1940s a large chicken
farm on Plumbrook Road produced poultry and eggs.

Today, most of these endeavors are long gone. Stuart’s fruit
farm on Granite Springs Road remains as a working farm.
It has been owned by the same family for seven generations.

e soil in Somers has done its job well. Out of this soil,
the sun, and the rain came prosperity for many of the gen-
erations calling Somers home.

Chances are you don’t have a crystal ball to look into

your nancial future. According to Steve Wilson of

Strategies for Wealth, creating a properly designed long

Based in Rye Brook, N.Y., Wilson is a certi ed public

accountant (CPA), a chartered nancial analyst (CFA)

and a retirement income certi ed professional (RICP).

He holds an MBA in accounting, an MS in tax and a

BS in nance, all from Fordham University. He has sig-

PHOTOS COURTESY After making brunch, Director of Events Lisa Fine gave them a
OF DONNA DOOLEY tour of the facility. She gave them background information about
Ronald McDonald House and stressed the importance of volun-
teerism of young people.

Many years ago, Fine was a recipient of the kindness and care
that is o ered through Ronald McDonald House. Her son has re-
covered and continues to live a healthy life, but, she never forgot the
generosity o ered to her those many years ago. e club has plans
to return in May to prepare another meal for the families. ey are
also hoping to have a “Toiletries Drive” in the spring to help the
families, as well.

Donna Dooley, who’s older son Aidan helped start the club and
now younger son Kieran helps run, wanted to get the word out to
other high schoolers looking for ways to serve to think of the Ron-
ald McDonald House in Valhalla.

“We can all write checks, participate in walkathons, but this is
tangible,” Dooley said. “I was so proud of those six, 16-year-old
boys! ey felt like they had, in some small way, helped these fami-
lies. As students enrolled in a Catholic High School they are being
reminded of the importance of Lenten sacri ces during this time
of year. e greatest sacri ce they can make is to give up their time,
and they were happy to do it!”

ing the fun and dynamic program. e four-year old was making great progress
learning to walk when Schweigler noticed how the young girl enjoyed watch-
ing her older siblings in gymnastics, dance, ninja warrior classes and also loved
watching obstacle course races on TV.
Schweigler wished that more kids could enjoy fun, physical activities that could
give them strength and con dence.
“Most children with autism have a lot of low-tone,” Schweigler explained.
“ eir musculature is a little bit lower to begin with, so that is what I wanted to
work on the most.”

e class welcomes those with a range of challenges including ADHD as
well as emotional needs and is open to any kid who wants to be there, she added.

e hour-long adaptive class began in March for young athletes who range
in age from 7-13 years old. eir parents are asked to stay with their kids—for
the warm-up, to learn the equipment and to bond, while doing a healthy activity
together. Personal training sessions are also available.

Drawing on the philosophy of the CrossFit brand tness regimen, where exer-
cises are designed to be “constantly varied, high intensity, functional movements,”
the new class includes animal movements like bear crawls or a duck walk—in-
corporating particular skills that translate into everyday movements like squat-
ting, bending, sitting down and standing up safely. e kids can swing on rings,
jump and build their bodies to the best of their individual abilities.

“It is my dream to do this for these kids,” Schweigler said. “Not every school
has an adaptive facility, not every school has teachers trained in adaptive tness.
So being able to see them do things for themselves because now they can stand
up by themselves or now they can get up out of the chair by themselves—they get
a lot of con dence—it makes me very emotional.”

Sixth graders hear from engaging author

Author, photographer, poet, MMA instructor and American Ninja Warrior competitor Charles R. Smith, Jr. visited Somers Middle School recently to share some wisdom.
He spoke to the entire sixth grade about his writing process and recited some of his poems. Smith is an energetic and enlightening speaker who writes often about NBA players.
Smith also led two workshops for students. One on photography and the other focusing on poetry. Books by Smith include “28 Days - Moments in Black History that Changed
the World”, “Brick By Brick”, “Hoop Kings” and “Hoop Queens”. Smith’s visit was sponsored by the Somers PTA.

First graders ‘adopt’ penguins

First graders in Deirdre Cardona’s class recently held a Penguin Museum where they showed o their research on di erent penguins and the dioramas
they built with facts about penguins, including the emperor penguin, African penguin, and the Galapagos penguin. Parents and family members toured the
museum and listened to the children sing a song and recite a poem about penguins. Each child in the class earned $4.50 so the class could “adopt” two Little
Blue Penguins from Australia. Students showed the o cial adoption certi cate from Phillip Island Penguin Foundation.

ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT Sports

Christina Senior record-holder will continue
Luciano throwing in college

PHOTO COURTESY OF LINDA LUCIANO Christina Luciano, holds the senior weight throw record for Somers High
School, at 32’ 11”.

How old were you when you started throwing and what got you
started?

I was 14 years old and it was my older brother who was a thrower
who got me into it.

What is your favorite thing about being on the Somers track and
eld team?

e other athletes.

What is your favorite throwing event?
Shot put.

Who has been your biggest role model over the years and what
have you learned from them?

My older brother, who broke the high school record in weight throw
when he was a senior. He always worked hard and always told me to
do the same. He taught me my techniques.

Tell us one thing about yourself that not a lot of people know.
I am always cold.

Do you plan on throwing in college?
Yes.

Do you know what you want to study in college? If yes, what are
you planning on studying and why?

I am going to college for dietetics because I have found a passion for it.

What is your favorite music to listen to warming up for a meet?
My playlist is very broad but I like to listen to Post Malone before
pre-meets.

If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why?
Invisibility, so you can avoid people.

If you could pick one place to visit on vacation that you’ve never
been to, where would you go and why?

Aruba, because it looks beautiful.

Best place to eat in Somers and why?
Chili’s, because I love their chicken alfredo.

What is your favorite social media? Why?
Snapchat, because it is easy to connect with people.

What would you tell other young athletes growing up in the
Somers district about the experience of being part of the track and

eld team?
Why should they go out for the team? It’s a very welcoming team
and we all have a lot of fun together. Even if you are not a runner there
are plenty of other events that you can try and might end up enjoying.
