He mentioned that behind the backstop by the stream,there are numerous beer cans, broken bottles and camp fires.

She also mentioned that she had sent a "Thank You" to the newspaper Thanking Doug McHoul, Office of the Aging and Connie Smith for the Senior Citizen Picnic held at Schlathaus on September 28th. RECREATION DIRECTOR'S REPORT Mr. Reimer reported that everything is settled with the schools although we lost one night of volleyball because we couldn't get the Jr. High for the night requested. The programs scheduled are as follows: 1. Volleyball - Myers School-Tuesdays starting 10/12 at 6:30 p.m. 2. Basketball - Wappinger Jr. High - Wednesdays starting 10/13 at 6:30 p.m. 3. Aerobics - Sheafe Road School Tuesdays and Thursdays Starting 10/14 at 6:30 p.m. It was noted that Gina Poulious would not be doing the aerobics for us this 'year. She has decided to retire after many years - it was thought 6 - 8 years. Mrs. Roe was requested to check on the actual time she worked for us and it was decided that we would get something for her. We have hired Lisa Casowitz who has come highly recommended and who works at Figures and Fitness. Mr. Reimer mentioned that he spoke with Jerry Husted through his secretary Janet Versace and was assured that we didn't get the additional date for volleyball at the Jr. High because the application was late. We still felt that because we have held this program there for so many years that they could have had the courtesy to call us to see if we were scheduling the program again this year. Mr. Holt will write a letter to Michael DeFillippo. Mr. Reimer mentioned that he has put in a request for the West POint Band for 1994 --the Concert Band for March and the Jazz Band for July. He hasn't put in the request for Ketcham yet but Mr. Miller suggested that he do this immediately since we can always withdraw it. The Schlathaus Race was held on October 2, 1993 and had a good turn out. The Town provides the trophies and pumpkins for prizes. Recreation Minutes Page 3 October 12, 1993 HALLOWEEN PARTY Miss Gutzler mentioned that the Haunted House has been taken care of. She has purchased all the decorations and will keep them after that day. It was decided that the OPen House be held at 1:00 with entertainment "Let Us Entertain You" beginning at 2:00 followed by judging and ,refreshments. Mr. Rider will be asked to set up the sound system. If it is raining or too cold, we will move the party to the Myers Corners School. Mrs. Korz mentioned that she has the following to donate ~rizes: 1. McDonalds - is set with Grimace & pumpkins for 150 children 2. Wendy's will give whatever their pr.mmotion is at that time. 3. Pizza Hut will give coupons for a free personal pan pizza 4. Ben & Jerry's will give coupons for a free cone 5. Dunkin Donuts are giving donuts 6. Parties Plus a certificate 7. Fun Central has given 40 tokens. (Mrs. Korz mentioned that they have requested that this be the top prize. She will check on the value of the tokens.) 8. Hoe Bowl will give coupons. Meadowbrook has been contacted about cornstalks and pumpkins. The stalks will be brought back after that day. The cider,apples pnd 15 dozen donuts have.been ordered.~ We will 898in register the children and give out numbers. The judges will be Sylvia Holt, Connie Smith and Elaine Snowden. ROBINSON LANE Mr. Miller reported that they are still playing at Robinson Lane and will probably end around October 25th. BOAT RAMP Mr. Ennesser, although unable to attend, sent a report in which he thanked the maintenance crew for fixing the railing on the dock. He also requested that the dock be checked more frequently because the abnormal tides and rain have created more floating accumulation of debris. He spoke with Don White (White's,Marina) about a couple of docks in the Spring. He said he might be able to help by giving us finger docks that he is replacing. He will follow up on this during the winter months. Recreation Minutes Page 4 October 12, 1993 Mr. Ennesser has called the Rectech Dock Co. to get rough estimates on new docks as follows: 13 each approx. 60' of Super Dock and floats 5 piling brackets 15 multiple deck connections 1 gangway hinge assembly 3 railing brackets and 15 ft. of railing Estimate approximately 5 - 6K MID HUDSON ROAD RUNNERS RACE Mr. Ennesser worked with Ken Hack, Race Director, and after trying with no success to get someone from Little League ~o be available the day of the race, he ran 3 line cords from 3 different circuits in the store to satisfy the electrical request. He also instructed the Club to drive cars down between R-1 and R-2 and then along 3rd base fence line on Memorial Field to utilize the lower parking areas. This seemed to work well. Several signs were displaced at the Park entrance to allow for an emergency path. One was missing and the others were replaced. Mr. Ennesser asked Mr Hack to give us more notice i~ the future for additional power for his P.C. and any other requests he might have. CHAIRMAN'S REPORT Mr. Holt reported that Airport Park was 85-90% finished. We have harrowed, power raked and seeded it. The maintenance guys did a super job. So far the cost to the Town was approximately $4,000.. Mr. Kennedy mentioned that he has requested the $3,500. from the Town and that they are ready to turn it over to us for their part of the fencing. Now that the area has been cleared and seeded, we don't want anyone using it for their motorcycles and motorbikes. We will have to look in our budget for funds for the balance of the fencing and if necessary ask for Parkland Funds. We have received permission from the Town Board to expend $6,000. toward the construction of the pole building at Montfort Road. We have received P.O.'s and have already dug the 16 holes and poured the cement. Hopefully next week we will get the skeleton of the building up. White's Corners Property negotiations are not moving to quickly. Recreation Minutes Page 5 October 12, 1993 The Town's Christmas Party is set for Oecember 5th at Schlathaus Park. Gifts have been ordered. We are still looking for some entertainment. Mr. Ennesser and Mrs. Delisa gave suggestions to Mr. Reimer and he will follow up. Mrs. Roe will check on another lead. The painting at Martz Field and Spook, Hill has been completed - inside and out. The roof at the Spook Hill building has also been repaired: There was a discussion on the clay for Martz Field. We have to wait to see what our funds are like when the building is completed. There was a concern about which type of clay should be put down - the good red clay or the regular. Mr. Miller was concerned about the good red clay because it has to be worked regularly or it gets hard. This was tabled for the next meeting. A discussion took place regarding the purchase of playground equipment for toddlers for Martz Field. Two pictures were ppesented from two different companies - Raymond Michael ltd. and Miracle Recreation. It was suggested that if we could get 2 pieces from Raymond Michaels for $3,000. we get 1 for Martz and 1 for Robinson lane. Motion by Miss Gutzler seconded by Mr. Miller. Mrs. Roe will check on prices, delivery and installation. Mr. Holt asked Mr. Reimer to see if he could obtain a gym so that we could hold a pitching clinic. He would direct it with the help of Mr. Miller and Mr. Ennesser. Hopefully, on Tuesday and Thursday nights with 1 session of 10 boys ages 9 - 12 and then another session of 10 boys ages 13 - 15. Mr. Miller suggested that the gyms might be more available late February early March and it would be just before the ball season starts. Mr. Reimer will +ook into this. The meeting was adjourned at 9:Q5 on a motion by Mr. Miller seconded by Miss Gutzler. Peggy Roe Secretary OCTOBER 1993 REPORT TO THE RECREATION COMMISSION FOR THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER 1993 SENIOR CITIZEN CENTER September activities at the Senior Citizen Center included the regular schedule of art/crats, exercise, line dancing, videos, cards and games. The Center was closed Labor Day, Sept. 6. Oil painting classes were cancelled for the month. The Office of the Aging in cooperation with the Town sponsored a picnic at Schlathaus Park for the town's seniors on Sept. 28. It was a beautiful day for over 250 seniors who attended this event. Delicious food and delightful music provided by Bill Paroli. Doug McHoul has offered his huge grill and volunteer staff for our summer picnics. There would be a slight charge per person. I will pursue this in the spring. This was the only picnic/party of the month except for our monthly birthday party on the 30th. The seniors put aside the partying and buckled down to finish all the craft projects for our craft fair in Oct. Diana Weibrecht from the Office of the Aging was at the Center on the 9th. The Heart Assoc. provided blood pressure screening on the 21st. The Town sponsored trip to Pomona on the 14th was a great success. The seniors are adjusting to their temporary home. However, attendance is down. Many seniors go to exercise at Town Hall three days a week but do not come to Schlathaus after. The men are enjoying the pool table and are requesting it to be moved to Town Hall when it is completed. There was an average of 20 seniors per day at the Center. There are 184 seniors registered at the Center and 100 seniors on the waiting list. ITEMS TO BE NOTED: 1. Elks Club Christmas Party Update: Response is moderate. We still need funds to purchase gifts for the seniors. I have contacted the owner of the Liquor Exchange in regard to small bottles of wine or raffle prizes. He will speak to the salesmen and ask them to help us. Will let me know soon. We need a Santa Claus for that date. More next month! 2 There are two interns from Dutchess Community College working as volunteers at the Center this semester. Loretta Mygan is in on Thursday from 9:30-1:30 and Karen Barone is in on Friday from 9:30-1:30.
