RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES
JUNE 10, 1992
The regular meeting of the Town of Wappinger Recreation
Commission was held June 10, 1992 at Schlathaus Park, All
Angels Hill Road, Town of Wappinger, Dutchess County, New
York.
The meeting was called to order at 7:30 by Chairman
Ralph J. Holt. Others present were Senior Citizen Director
Kathi DeLisa, Recreation Director Bernie Reimer, Commission
Members Ellen Korz, Barbara Gutzler, Joseph Mastroianni,
Stephen Miller and Maintenance Supervisor John Vorndran.
Terry Fisher arrived at 8:30 p.m.
The minutes of the May 21, 1992 meeting were approved on
a motion by Mr. Mastroianni seconded by Mrs. Korz with all in
favor.
CORRESPONDENCE
A memo was received from Supervisor Smith regarding the
Town's Annual Community Day to be held Sunday, September 13th
(raindate of Sunday, Sept. 20th.>. She requested the use of
the speaker system that can be used with a car battery since
the system will be used on the reviewing stand where there is
no electric. She also requested use of the dunking tank and
that we post the event on our Community Sign at Schlathaus
Park. The Commission has no problem with the speaker system
or the posting of the event but we have a problem with the
/dunking tank. The one made for last summer was not strong
enough to hold the water and also the pressure of someone
jumping into it. It was suggested that we look into renting
one.
A letter was received from ~lorence Graff, Chairman of
the Conservation Advisory Council thanking us for the use of
Schlathaus Park for their annual tree seedling give away on
April 18th and for advertising the event on the billboard.
A copy of a letter sent by Attorney to the Town Albert
Roberts~ Jr. to Mr. & Mrs. Joseph Fulton, Jr. was forwarded
to the Commission from Supervisor Smith. This letter
referenced the Land Swap on the barn property on Montfort
Road. In his letter, Mr. Roberts asked that Mr. Fulton
advise him if the proposed land swap is acceptable and he
indicated that this swap has be be approved by the New York
State Legislature prior to exchanging any deeds. The
Commission was disappointed that this proposal hasn't
processed any further. We thought everything had already
been sent to the Legislature for approval.
The Commission received a copy of the signed United
Soccer Contract for 1992 for our files.
The members were given a copy of the application sent to
Greenway Heritage for the 1992 Community Awards Program.

interesting statistics regarding the Senior population for
the Town. There are 3,010 Seniors in the Town between the
ages of 60 and 85.
5. She brought in a sample letter to be sent to
organizations in regard to the Senior Christmas Party. The
letter was okay but it was suggested that a letter be
addressed to the Elks first to allow use of their facility
for such a project.
DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Mr. Reimer asked about getting the new sand for the
volleyball courts and Mr. Holt mentioned that he has been
discussing this situlation with a Mr. John Badar with the
hope that we could get some donated.
The tennis clinic for the adults is going good both
morning and evening. There will be 2 more sessions during
the summer.
He gave the following information regarding the summer
programs:
1. We had 8-9 playground personnel update their CPR
Certification at sessions held at Schlathaus the first week
in June. Sloper conducted the classes at $25. per person and
did an outstanding job.

June 16th at 6:30 at Schlathaus.
~

payment
program
4. We are working on getting the mobile phone for use
at Castle Point.
5. The large ad was in the Southern Dutchess News
today.
6. We were notified on June 2nd by Keith Harvey that
the School District was not able to provide transportation
for our summer programs. Mr. Holt has been trying to get
some answers from School Superintendent Dwight Hultze and
hopefully we will get a positive answer. In the meatime we
have been talking to a private bus company for prices. It
was feld that if we try to car pool to Deer Hill we might
open ourselves to liability problems.
7. Mr. Reimer noted that we have been told that ALL
school gyms are being closed by Marriott Corp. for the Summer
and there is a question about whether we will be able to use
the one gym left open at Van Wyck. He also noted that a
gymnastic class will be held at Ketcham when the gym is
suppose to be closed. He will keep working on this problem,
QUIET ACRES
Mrs. Korz mentioned that the building should be painted
before the program starts and Mr. Holt said that will be
done.
7.
ROBINSON LANE/LITTLE LEAGUE
M~. Mille~ noted that Little League is winding down.
The sto~e has been gene~ating lots and lots of ga~bage. We
have inc~eased the size of the containe~ twice and have added
an additional pick up and it is still ove~flowing. It was
requested that M~. Mille~ ask M~. Mensching to speak to the
sto~e committee to see if they would break down the boxes
before discarding them.
We have received seve~al complaints of speeding at
Robinson Lane and a ~equest for speed bumps. Mr. Miller was
asked to check with the Town of Wappinger Little League Board
about this. It was also noted that if we install the speed
bumps that the ca~s will just d~ive around them and ruin the
grass.
It was also suggested that we get some Item 4 to patch
the holes in the roadway in the back of the complex.
The truck body from Robinson Lane still needs to be
moved to Castle Point.
ADOPT A PARK
Mrs. Roe mentioned that she had ~eceived an inquiry from
a boy scout g~oup regarding the notice in M~. Reime~'s column
about adapting a park.
CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
M~. Holt noted the following:
1. We have hi~ed a new person - Ron B~oadie who will be
taking the place of Mr. Weston who is still ill. We don't
feel that Mr. Weston will be back in the near future.
2. The tennis courts hopefully will be finished
tommorrow. They look great.
~. We have installed the wooden wall at the tennis
courts. We have put up 2 sections but have had requests to
make it bigger by one more section.
4. A letter has been sent to the Administrator at
Castle POint Veterans Hospital requesting permission to hook
into thei~ water hydrant just over the fence from our
property.
5. We are going to the Town Board with a request to put
a fence/gate across the parking area by Martz Field and to
put 3/4" of fine paving down for roller skating. Our hope is
that if we do this that the kids will stay off the Tennis
Courts with their roller blades and not ruin our new
resurfaced courts. It will also keep the trailer trucks from
using the parking lot to park their trailers and thereby
limiting the parking for the ball games.
6. Hopefully, the slide will be installed at Spook Hill
next week. The safety preparations must be done prior to the
installation. A P.O. needs to be obtained for the pea
gravel which will be placed around the slide. Mr. Holt
mentioned that safety wise this work must be done under ALL
playground equipment.
7. It was decided that we would take Mr. Maurer to
dinner in recognition for his 30+ years of service on the
Recreation Commission. Mrs. Roe will set up the time, place
and will look into purchasing a small gift for him.
8. Mrs. Korz is working on obtaining the curtains for
Schlathaus.
9. The New Hackensack Bavarian Fest is being held this
weekend and Mr. Vorndran will be marking off the wet areas
and no parking areas.
10. Supervisor Smith has mentioned to Mr. Holt that we
should pick out a replacement tree for Schlathaus for the one
that was removed for the installation of the War Memorial.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:10 on a motion by Mr.
Miller seconded by Mr. Mastroianni.

Lanes on the 15th. John Pretak from Hoebowl provided a free
kick off bowling party for seniors to encourage a Senior
Bowling Club on Fridays. Over 50 seniors attended this
event. It was a great success. Those that did not bowl
enjoyed cheering the others. Many have requested that we
all go bowling on a more regular basis. Mr. Pretak has
agreed to give a special price to the group for a bowling
day. I will tentatively set a date for this in September.
The Center was closed on the 15th so all had the opportunity
to participate.
There was an average of 36 seniors at the Center per day.
There are 184 seniors registered at the Center. The
