In the letter they stated that Camo has completed the Dutchess County Health Department
mandated installation of a chlorination system at the Robinson Lane Recreation Area. They also
noted that approximately two years ago, they installed a chlorination system at Schlathaus Park.
They go on to mention that with the installation of these systems, there is a mandated reporting
requirement at Robinson Lane with daily chlorine residuals, quarterly coliform sampling and the
submittal of a monthly report to the Dutchess County Health Department and they recommend
that the same be done at Schlathaus Park. They mentioned that due to its classification, a
certified operator is not required to do the daily residuals and submit these reports. They said that
they have been working with Steve Tompkins of the recreation department training him in the
daily testing and record keeping. Mr. Holt said that he and Mr. Tompkins are meeting with Mr.

RECREATION DIRECTOR REPORT.
Mr. Lowery mentioned that the Schlathaus Park race was held on October 3rd and that
they had a nice turnout. The weather was great. Trophies and pumpkins were give out as prizes.
The Mohegan trip is set for Sunday, October 18, 1998. The bus will leave at 8:00 a.m.

various programs such as Little League, Soccer, Pop Warner etc.
He is trying to schedule a basketball trip next year providing that the strike is over.
SOCCER/ROCKINGHAM/ AIRPORT PARK.
Mr. Chappas mentioned that there are drainage problems at both of the soccer parks. It
was suggested that one of the fields at Airport Park be closed down to give the grass a chance to
come back. It was requested that we get several keep off signs to be placed on the field. Mr.
Ennesser will look into the signs and it was suggested that we rope off the area.
Mr. Holt mentioned that we are looking into several things for Airport park including a
flag pole, fencing for the entrance to the park and we are checking with the Engineer to the Town
regarding a well for the park.
DOCKS
Mr. Ennesser mentioned that the docks should be out by the end of October. They will be
left in Chelsea the same as last year and will be locked to the fence. The stay mechanism which is
on the wall will be removed and stored at the Barn.
SCHLATHAUS PARK
Mr. Ennesser mentioned that he has a meeting with Don Swartz of Archtypes to review
the plans for the C. D. Funding for the improvements at Schlathaus Park
3
. '\ .
TENNIS
Mr. Ennesser mentioned that the signs (court numbers) are on order and should be in
soon. He also mentioned that he thought that Barry should be asked to put a program in place for
next spring, summer and fall so that Mr. Lowery will be able to advertise it when he does his
program. Mrs. Korz will contact him regarding this.
REESE PARK
Mr. Ennesser mentioned that the sign for Reese Park is done and is ready to be installed.
The maintenance guys will have to put in the posts for the sign and do some other work to have it
completed. He hopes to have this completed in the next few weeks. He also mentioned that
they are working on having the National Guard come back to Reese to put the bridge back in
place. He has also been talking with the Village patrol and they are now patrolling the area
ROBINSON LANE
Mr. Friedman mentioned that he checked the park after the two weekends of tournaments
and the fields were left in good shape following each of them.
HALLOWEEN
Mrs. Korz gave a report on the progress of the Halloween Party which will be held
October 25th at 2:00 p.m. She mentioned that she has received gifts from Hometown Buffet,
Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell. Mrs. Vazquez said that she would visit Francesco Gourmet and
Wendy's since Mrs. Korzjust can't seem to get there when a manager is there. Mrs. Korz said
that she has talked with Meadowbrook Farms to order the cider, donuts, apples and decorations.
All the witches have been contacted and Mrs. Roe will remind them of the date and time. It was
decided that we would meet at Schlathaus Park at 12:30 to decorate the stage and to set up for
the program. Mr. Ennesser said that he would be there to set up the P.A. system. Mr. Holt said
that he would have the maintenance guys bring the decorations down from the attic. Mr. Chappas
was asked to contact soccer to see if they would be willing to contribute something to the party
and Mr. Friedman will ask Little League.
SPOOK HILL
Mr. Miller mentioned that the "S" hooks on the bridge and the bolts on some of the
equipment need to be replaced at Spook Hill Park. We will notifY maintenance and Mr. Ennesser
said that he would be glad to meet them there if they have any problem with what needs to be
replaced.
4
SURVEY
Mrs. Vasquez mentioned that she has been working on a survey to be sent to Town
residents to find out what their recreation interests are. She will review this with Mr. Lowery and
bring a copy to the next meeting.
CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
Mr. Holt mentioned that he has a meeting with the Town Board on October 21st to
review the 1999 budget.
He also mentioned that Mr. Leroy one of the maintenance men had an accident with the
chain saw and had a number of stitches in his leg. He will be out of work for a couple of weeks.
We have to work on setting up the computer class at Schlathaus. We are still waiting for
a quote on the electric work and we will be ordering tables and chairs. Once we get the furniture
and set up the computers, they will all be checked to make sure that everything is working
properly.
The plan for the new building at Montfort Road has been completed using a draft that Mr.
Friedman sketched. Since the building should be under $10,000. we will not have to go out for
formal bid. Mr. Tompkins will go out and get three bids for the work and it will be submitted to
the Town Board for approval at their October 26th meeting.
DEDICATION OF FIELDS
Mr. Miller made a suggestion for updating the requirements for the dedication of a field in
memory of someone. He suggested that for each person, there should be a waiting period of a
minimum of a year before action is taken. Another suggestion that he made was that if a field is
dedicated that it be dedicated for one year (or one season and then the sign would come down).
Mr. Holt requested that Mr. Miller put his suggestions down in writing for all the Commission
Members to review at the next meeting.
JOB DESCRIPTIONS
Mr. Lowery was interested in obtaining a job description for the summer director and
some discussion took place regarding the Director of Recreation and the Summer Director
positions. Mr. Holt said that we have to make sure there is a complete write up of the Director's
position before we can embellish the job description for the summer director. Mrs. Roe
mentioned that there was a write up for the Director position that we used when we were in the
process of interviewing someone for that job and that she would mail each member a copy for
5
. , t ~
their review at the next meeting. Mr. Holt mentioned that we had a problem this past summer in
that the summer director took a week vacation during the summer program which only runs 7
weeks. It was felt that this was not the thing to do but she mentioned that the previous
Recreation Director had no problem with this. The summer director did a good job but it was
decided that the issue of vacation has to be addressed so that if she decides to return we will be
able to discuss this issue early enough so that she can be told of our expectations for the program
and decide if she will be able to meet them.
SUMMrnRPLAYGROUND/SW~
Mr. Lowery mentioned that he is still interested in separating the swim program from the
playground program. He mentioned that the swim program is abused in that the program is
suppose to be a learn to swim program but he noticed that a lot of parents sign their children for
the swim program just so that the child would have somewhere to go during the swim lesson
days. It was felt that the camps should stay open for the full 7 weeks and that we should hire
additional counselors just to man the swim program. Mr. Lowery said that he thought if we
separate the programs then we would not be under the restrictions of the Board of Health. He
suggested that we run the swim program for 6 full weeks Monday thru Friday from 11 - 2 with 55
openings per week. The parent would then choose which session they would attend and
transport their child to the Jr. High. Mr. Lowery was asked to look into this further to see how it
would effect our dealings with the Board of Health.
The meeting was adjourned at 9: 15 on a motion by Mr. Ennesser seconded by Mrs.
Vasquez.

The WALKING CLUB continues. .If YOU would like to join the

Just add your name and start walking. Six times around the
Town Hall is a mile. Just mark the number of times you walk
around, I will convert it to miles later. We do recommend
you walk with someone. Use the "BUDDY" system when
possible. walking is considered one of the best physical
exercises YOU can do for your health It can help reduce
blood pressure, regulate insulin for diabetics, keep your
heart healthier and so much more. Goal for 1999 Walkers:
To do 5 more miles this year than last year. A minimum of
10 miles is required by the end of the "Walking Year." If
yoU are just starting, yOU can make at least 10 miles your
goal. That is only 60 times around the bUilding in a year
or 5 time around a month. start now!
Look for the thank you note from Helen ventriglia
regarding the donation to the SPCA. A total of $100.00 was
sent to the SPCA as a result of the raffle for Atlantic
City.
Enjoy the poem by Sue Bush. The Creative Corner was
started for YOU to share your thoughts, drawings or
writings. So come on seniors! Let's see your "stuff."
In regard to paying dues, many of yoU are now paying your
dues on a yearly basis and for that your Treasurers thank
you. This makes bookkeeping much easier and efficient. Many
choose to do this as they cannot be at the Center every week
and want to participate in our special events. Yearly dues
is $25.00. Many of you pay on a monthly basis and that too
makes it easier to keep track of. A few of you are NOT
current with dues, this may result in your paying full price
for the upcoming luncheons! Your Treasurer says that for
those paying dues by the month, October dues is $2.00.
Those on the waiting list are welcome to pay dues. This is
voluntary. This entitles you to join our "out of center"
activities at a reduced cost.
Love and a big Hug and smile to all of YOU!

WHO NEEDS IT
BY
SUE BUSH
WHEN WE WERE YOUNG, AND FULL OF LIFE,
WE FOUND HARD TIMES, AND DAYS FILLED WITH STRIFE.
AND SAID WHO NEEDS IT?????
AS THE YEARS ROLLED BY ONE BY ONE,
WE TRIED TO DO THE THINGS WE NEVER DID BEFORE,
AND SAID WHO NEEDS IT?????
NOW IN THE TWILIGHT OF OUR YEARS,
WE GO TO PLACES AND DO THE THINGS WE NEVER DID BEFORE
LIFE HAS BECOME A MERRY-GO-ROUND,
WE REACH OUT AND GRAB FOR MORE.
NOW IS THE TIME TO BE HAPPY AND GAY,
THANKING GOD FOR EACH AND EVERY DAY.
NEVER SAY WHO NEEDS IT,
NOW IS THE TIME TO SAY,
WE SURE DO NEED IT NOW.
