Feeling bummed because the value of your 401(k) is plummeting while the price of a bottle of hand sanitizer is skyrocketing? Whatever ails your spirits, there are few remedies so easy and so effective, at least in the short term, as the killer cuteness of baby goats. There’s just something about their spring-loaded movements that embodies the concept of unbridled glee.

When we need an infusion of baby goat therapy, most of us turn to YouTube videos on our cellphones. But being in the actual company of kids as they bounce about is an achievable goal in our own region. At Sprout Creek Farm in Dutchess County, nearly 80 baby goats have already been born during kidding season 2020, and plenty of activities in their company have been scheduled for the next couple of months.

NATURE

PECK’S MILK-CAP IN THE RUNNING FOR NEW YORK’S STATE FUNGUS

B

ack in the 1980s, California schoolchildren fought to have the banana slug designated the official state mollusk. That tale had an unhappy ending: a veto by then-governor George Deukmejian. But a campaign now underway in New York to name Peck’s milk-cap (Lactarius peckii) our state mushroom might get better traction, at a time when awareness of the extraordinary importance of fungi in the Earth’s ecosystems is on the rise.

Indeed, fostering that awareness is the point of the bill, S07045-A “Designating Lactarius peckii as the official state fungus of the state,� which was recently introduced in the New York legislature by senator Jen Metzger at the urging of the New York Mycological Society and is currently being considered in committee. Society president Christine Moss circulated a letter to fungus-fanciers arguing that “mushroom consciousnessraising generally is an important ecological endeavor, and the declaration of state or national mushroom symbols is a good way to achieve that.�

As their Latin name suggests, mushrooms of the Lactarius genus are distinguished by the copious milky fluid or “latex� that they exude when cut, despite having brittle flesh. Found in hardwood forests throughout New York State, L. peckii or Peck’s milk-cap is reddish-brown or red-orange in color and medium-to-large in diameter. Neither poisonous nor edible – its flavor is described as “acrid� – the species is noteworthy because it serves a vital role in maintaining a healthy and vibrant forest ecosystem through its symbiotic (mycorrhizal) partnership with trees. If Lactarius is present, it means that the forest is healthy.

L. peckii was chosen as the figurehead for this campaign partly because it was first described in 1908 by a native New Yorker (and a notable figure in North American mycology), Gertrude Simmons Burlingham. She named this Lactarius for Charles Horton Peck, New York State botanist from 1867 to 1915, who himself described more than 2,700 species of North America fungi.

Passage of S07045-A would make New York one of only three states to have an official state fungus. The New York Mycological Society is encouraging mushroom buffs to send letters or e-mails of support to Senator Metzger, as well as their own state legislators. You can also register your enthusiasm online at https:// bit.ly/2W2sIF2.

If Lactarius peckii is present, it means that the forest is healthy.

Repair CafĂŠ marks Pi Day with STEM fun and pie in Kingston

Pi pie photo by Stuart Caie

This Saturday marks the first of three upcoming Baby Goat Weekends, with morning and afternoon sessions each featuring an educational tour, a baby goat feeding and a farm-to-table meal.

From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on March 14 and 28 and April 28, your session costing $40 for adults, $30 for children aged 5 to 15 includes a goat feeding at 11 a.m. and lunch at noon. The 3-to-7 p.m. session on the same dates, priced at $50 for adults and $40 for children, begins with a goat feeding at 3 p.m. and ends with dinner at 6.

You may also have heard of the phenomenon of Baby Goat Yoga, in which rambunctious tiny kids climb all over your meditative postures. Good luck with quieting your mind, but it’s surely

still therapeutic. Sprout Creek will be hosting Baby Goat Yoga sessions each Thursday evening in March, from 6 to 7 p.m. The cost per session is $30, and preregistration is required.

Sprout Creek Farm is located at 34 Lauer Road, technically in the Town of Poughkeepsie but so far out on the rural southeastern outskirts that most locals would call it Lagrangeville. To register, or to learn about other opportunities to mingle with the kids, including an overnight getaway in April, visit https:// sproutcreekfarm.org/blog/baby-goatactivities.

Repair CafĂŠ returns to Kingston this Saturday, including a Bike Clinic.

This in itself is nothing surprising, as the city has been playing host to these visitations from skilled volunteers who provide free repairs for all kinds of household items several times annually since 2014. But this event is special, because March 14, 3.14, is Pi Day. The Bard Math Circle will be on hand to conduct cool activities: crafting paper to show why the area of a circle is đ?œ‹ r squared, computing the value of đ?œ‹ with string, learning how to draw a circle “free-handâ€? and even investigating the famous Buffon’s Needle Problem using Popsicle sticks.

Parents and kids are invited – and yes, there will be real pie available, cour-

Shamrock Run, St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Kingston this Sunday

T

he City of Kingston is gearing up for its 33rd annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade, preceded by its 32nd annual Shamrock Run, to be held on Sunday, March 15. Both follow essentially the same two-mile Broadway course, which is mostly flat but ends with a long downhill approaching the Rondout riverfront. Runners step off at 12:50 p.m. sharp from the Academy Green, with parade marchers departing at 1 p.m. from Kingston Plaza.

Believed to be the largest race between New York City and Albany, with 4,500 or more runners expected, the Shamrock Run does not time runners (though a clock is posted at the Finish Line for those who wish to keep track of their own times).

Immediately following the race at 1:30 p.m., registered runners will be invited to a Post-Race Party at the Rondout Neighborhood Center at 105 Broadway. Participants must be present to win prizes in the random drawing.

For information about race registration, visit www.shamrockrun.org/register. The fee is $25 to sign up in person: on March 14 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Hudson River Maritime Museum Boat School Classroom Building at 50 Rondout Landing, or on Race Day from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. across from Academy Green at the Governor Clinton Apartments at 1 Albany Avenue.

Proceeds from the 2020 Shamrock Run will benefit Raising Your Awareness about Narcotics.

Co-sponsored by the Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH) Fr. Con Colbert Woulfe Division 1 and the Ladies’ Ancient Order of Hibernians Division 5 of Ulster County, the 2020 Kingston St. Patrick’s Day Parade will honor Harry Woltman as Grand Marshal. The parade honors Woltman’s retirement after 32 years as a member of the Kingston Police Department. His mother immigrated to the US from Dungloe in County Donegal. Mayor of the Day for the parade will be Pat Schiskie; Erin Creeden is this year’s Irish Princess; and Samuel Vasquez will be the Bearer of St. Patrick. This is a judged parade, with trophies awarded for the Best Band, Best School Unit /Float, Best-Decorated Fire Department, Best-Decorated Float, Best Original Group and Best Original Irish Spirit.

exhibit dedicated to the recently deceased woodworker and artist Chris Lawrence. Born in Coventry, England, Lawrence was a High Falls resident since the 1970s and ran a successful set-building business called O & S out of the Mohonk Arts Building for more than 20 years, constructing sets for TV shows and corporate events. As an artist, he filled his life-spaces with “constructions” that he fashioned from his precious “detritus”: the castoff, neglected, tarnished, broken bits and pieces he collected over time, always finding beauty and delight in the mundane.

Whimsical collages, assemblages, shadow boxes and sc ulptures incorporating found objects will be represented in the show, titled “In Memoriam: Chris Lawrence (19442019),” which will run through April 5.

An opening reception will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. on Saturday, March 14 at Wired, which is located at 11 Mohonk Road, just off Route 213 in High Falls.

Often called the World’s Greatest Pink Floyd Show, Brit Floyd returns to the stage to perform its brand-new production, Echoes 2020, on March 13 at the Ulster Performing Arts Center in Kingston. The show includes highlights from The Wall, The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and the post-Waters The Division Bell. It features and takes its name from a showstopping 23-minute “note-for-note” performance of the iconic, era-defining song “Echoes,” written 50 years ago, and from Pink Floyd’s breakthrough 1971 album Meddle. Brit Floyd faithfully handles both sides of the Floyd experience: the epic music and stunning multimillion-dollar light show, iconic circle screen, lasers, inflatables and theatrics.

NIGHT SKY

Earth is becoming atter The word is getting a round

L

ast week, CNN’s online newsfeed emphasized that the fastest-growing organizations are the Flat Earthers. There are now competing Flat Earth groups.

The movement is big and getting bigger.

When I first reported on this in 2016, I got predictable feedback because there’s no middle ground here. People either say, “That’s ridiculous; surely there can’t be so many stupid people!� or else they say I’m a stooge for NASA – because, to these people, NASA is the real enemy, for the people who “control� NASA, like the bankers and the Rothschilds, want us to think our planet is a ball. It’s one way for lefties to discredit the truth and wisdom of the Bible, which flat-out states that our world is motionless and unmovable.

So, if spacecraft images are all faked, astronauts lie because they work for the government and the real Earth is a diskshaped pancake bordered on all sides by impenetrable Antarctic ice walls, could we disprove this?

Well, you and I know it’s actually easy to do. Every telescope shows a cosmos populated by spheres. If every other planet is a ball, why wouldn’t ours be one, too?

And what about lunar eclipses, when Earth’s shadow strikes the Moon? True, a disk or dish could cast a round shadow – but only if it were always angled perpendicularly to the Sun, which wouldn’t reliably happen. Anyway, the Flat Earthers think they have a rebuttal for everything.

But know this: If you run into any of these people, there are two foolproof ways to ascertain Earth’s true shape without needing to trust photos or any astronaut. That’s right: You can find out independently. Here are the two methods.

Method A: The next time you watch a sunset, phone a friend who lives on the West Coast, or in any city far to your west. Ask them to look out their window and tell you where the Sun appears in the sky. If Earth were flat, everyone would see the Sun setting at the same moment, right? But what you’ll find is that friends well to your west are

sufficiently around Earth’s curve that they’ll report the Sun to be around halfway up the sky. That wouldn’t be true if Earth were flat, would it?

The second method doesn’t even require the cooperation of a friend. Method B: The next time you’re swimming in a large lake like Winnipesaukee – or even something the size of Lake Taghkanic, one-and-a-half-miles-wide – hold your breath while lowering your head like a crocodile until your eyes are just a few inches above the surface. You’ll see the far shoreline vanish. It’s because the lake is not flat! Its middle is convex, or bowed higher than the shores, due to being part of our planet’s overall curvature. That central rise is enough to block out the other side if your eyes are sufficiently close to the water level.

With all this, smart people realized Earth’s true shape millennia ago. My hero Eratosthenes, who ran the Alexandria library, even correctly calculated the true size of Earth to one-percent accuracy – without ever setting foot outside Egypt. So why did the wrong idea persist for so long? Why didn’t a “round Earth� appear in ancient texts like Homer’s Odyssey and the Bible?

And now it’s happening again, promulgated by people whose skepticism and mistrust of authority are laudable, but who appear defective in basic science and rational thinking.

These are disconcerting times, this era in which we live. – Bob Berman Want to know more? To read Bob’s previous columns, visit our Almanac Weekly website at HudsonValleyOne.com.

Around the time of Offramp, the third Pat Metheny Group record (RIP and eternal gratitude, Lyle Mays; we love you always), Pat discovered Brazil. I mean, it had been sitting there, all big and shit, for centuries if not millennia; but each jazz generation, and arguably each jazz composer, has to rediscover it for herself like a spiritual colonist who knows that what they need is some humility (humiliation?) and who knows exactly where to find it on the map. And, kind of mystically, they each find a highly personalized variety of comeuppance there, as if Brazil knew them when they were born and knew they were coming. Music in Brazil is like the jump shot in Indiana or bagels in New York or slack in New Paltz: They’re just better at it and there is little point arguing. Pat, when you think about, has never really left Brazil.

It’s his own little Hotel California.

Like Metheny before him, Kurt Rosenwinkel was plucked out of Berklee by the vibraphonist Gary Burton, who, along with Miles, is one of jazz’s most prescient vampires of young talent. A modern jazz guitarist cannot have a more propitious

beginning than Burton’s endorsement and imprimatur, and Rosenwinkel, now about to enter the third decade of his prolific and serious career, has borne the tradition and the burden with diligence and dignity. I cannot pretend to know when Brazil first spoke to this technical wizard of a guitarist. It is so much a part of the standard diet of jazz that I suppose it has always been in him. But it is notable that when Kurt Rosenwinkel – a player known for a special level of technical virtuosity in a field where virtuosity is the basic credential for entry – wanted to get personal, get emotional and get centered on the expressive motive of songs, that’s when he really went to Brazil.

The yield of this intimate and personal exploration was the lovely 2017 album and ongoing project called Caipi. Ears accustomed to fast genre IDs and pigeonholing judgment (which is pretty much all of us, I’d say) are going to think, about 45 seconds into the title track, “Okay, this

THE CALL OF THE WILD

With all due respect to New York City’s hip hero Bill Frisell and to my favorite living improvising guitarist, John Scofield, the template for the respectable and sustainable career as a modern jazz guitarist/composer was largely constructed by one man alone: the great Pat Metheny, over his restless and prolific six-decade (and counting) career. It’s not so much a stylistic template (though his influence there is monolithic) as a living model of how to balance respect for popular audiences on one hand and respect for the grueling standards of innovation and advancement in America’s most sophisticated and cerebral indigenous music on the other.

MOVIE REVIEW

WOODSTOCK NATIVE AUTUMN DE WILDE’S BRISK, LIVELY EMMA. PROVES AUSTEN OVERKILL NOT YET FATAL

T

he last of Jane Austen’s novels to be published in her lifetime (1815), Emma has been brought to screens big and small a dozen times, with Amy Heckerling’s 1995 modern-day adaptation Clueless the version that’s familiar to most. The title character is Austen’s least likable protagonist: a spoiled, bored, lazy young heiress who fancies herself a shrewd judge of other people and finds matchmaking a diverting sport. Though she’s intelligent, Emma Woodhouse greatly overestimates her own discernment, and her machinations repeatedly bring misery to people she professes to cherish as friends.

Some interpretations try to soften Emma’s prickly edges, which is a disservice to Austen’s art. In order for this character’s long redemption arc to win us over, she needs FOCUS FEATURES to start out thoroughly callous and imperious.

The object of Emma’s “project” that forms the basis of the narrative is Miss Harriet Benedick to Emma’s Beatrice; Josh O’Connor a good fit for Mr. Elton, the socialSmith, a “natural child” (Regencyspeak for “bastard”) of modest means who attends climbing vicar with anger management issues; Callum Turner alternating charming the girls’ boarding school nearby the Woodhouse country manor, Hartfield.

While some subtle criticism of classism is always implicit in much as will pass for proper landed-gentry protocol.

Caipi, to these ears at least, comes off sounding – well I’ll be darned – like Kurt Rosenwinkel’s version of a bedroom indierock album, really synched in some ways to the same intimate and do-it-yourself globalist impulse of stuff like tUnE-yArDs, Yeasayer or Rubblebucket, sharing even in the lyrical theme of an unironic, renewed naïveté and innocence, the theme that so beset the rich kids of Brooklyn in the aughts: the abdication of cynicism (amongst them who can afford to live without it).

But before getting back to Caipi, a necessary digression: Why does jazz raid Brazil? The most obvious answer is the bottomless rhythmic fertility of samba and bossa nova, a motion and an accenting so subtle and evolved that Americans have almost no chance of getting it right – and indeed, there are whole genres of music based entirely on the ways in which Americans get it wrong! But it goes much deeper than this. If jazz, in the Lincoln Center official family version, was born in a literally violent collision of the street and the conservatory in New Orleans, the music of Brazil is also an incredibly rich tangle of folk music and high culture.

In the figure of one Brazilian alone – Antonio Carlos Jobim – did jazz discover an entire 20th-century harmonic matrix that it will never be done exploring and crossbreeding.

But that’s not all, either. There’s one final Brazilian factor that relates directly to why Caipi is such a good and significant record for Rosenwinkel. It has to do with songs and singing. In America, vocal jazz is, to put it delicately, problematic.

It seems locked in an archaic set of

Opening reception on Saturday for WAAM’s new Still Life show

Caipi is earthy, celestial and psychedelic, jangly, at times even a little klutzy in an entirely endearing way, and shot through with brilliant-though-restrained guitar-playing (including a cameo by…Eric Clapton). Kurt Rosenwinkel really found, in the musical lexicon of Brazil, the license to be himself in a way that must feel marvelously liberating from the onus of jazz.

mannerisms and available personae. It has been mocked to a point where it cannot shed its own awareness of the stereotypes – from blues tropes to Bill Murray, the laughs of the lounge, every dumb Sinatra or scat impersonator. Not so Brazil, where there remain simple and unaffected ways to sing sophisticated music. There are easy ways to cross over into psychedelia and even rock, as proven by the timeless and popular Tropicalia movement. There are ways, in the Brazilian mode, in which it is still oddly possible to be yourself when you sing.

Rosenwinkel has sung before in his career, and his vocal turns on Caipi are

charmingly raw, especially when coupled with his own enthusiastic drumming (remember, bedroom DIY in effect here) and his lyrical worldview on such tracks as “Hold On.” Caipi is earthy, celestial and psychedelic, jangly, at times even a little klutzy in an entirely endearing way, and shot through with brilliant-thoughrestrained guitar-playing (including a cameo by…Eric Clapton).

The Woodstock Artists Association & Museum (WAAM) presents the juried show “Focus: Fish and Dish – A Fresh Take on Still Life” between March 7 and April 5, with an opening reception on Saturday, March 14. The exhibit’s juror, Jason Andrew, takes a non-traditional look at the traditional still life by selecting contemporary work, across all genres, to stand in conversation with a painting pulled directly from the more than 2,000 objects in WAAM’s Permanent Collection. De Hirsh Margules’ vibrant Still Life painting, centrally hung in WAAM’s Main Gallery, will provide the springboard for a fresh look at the age-old genre so popular across movements, cultures and periods.

ALMANAC WEEKLY

Mar. 12, 2020

EXPLO∏E On a roll Bowling alleys of the Hudson Valley

T

he game of bowling as we know it – played in a contemporary setting, where a 12-to-16-pound ball is rolled down an alley or lane for the purpose of knocking down an arrangement of “pins” – may have originated with the Egyptians of 3200 BCE. Approximately 100 million people in over 90 countries bowl, nearly 70 million in our country alone.

Bowling may have been imported by British, German and Dutch settlers – 17thcentury paintings depict bowlers outside a tavern in the Netherlands, tossing a round missile at targets on the lawn – or could have evolved through some other iteration, such as Italian bocce ball, of Roman origins.

Owning and operating a bowling alley usually involves offering players a whole array of entertainments in addition to a pair of shoes, a ball and a lane. Most establishments have snack bars, video and arcade game rooms, a bar serving adult beverages and spaces for group parties.

Some have huge banks of TV screens above the pin end of the lanes to keep patrons thoroughly entertained. The atmosphere is noisy and colorful. Nothing is fragile or precious, which is why bowling is such a great activity for families.

This aspect was repeated at every local bowling alley I visited in the Hudson Valley. Every owner/manager mentioned the fact that bowling can be enjoyed by everyone from the very young to the very old, and that by virtue of being ageinclusive, it brings families together. It’s an activity – with the emphasis on action rather than passivity – geared towards raucous fun.

Pat Tarsio Lanes “Kids can’t play football with their parents,” says Tony Tarsio of Pat Tarsio Lanes in Newburgh. But children who come to the lanes with their elders get to experience being together in a memorable way. Like most bowling centers in our region, Tarsio’s opened back in the heyday of league and tournament bowling. Tony talks fondly of spending time here when he was a kid, when everyone was having fun and they’d finally drag themselves home in the wee hours of the morning.

He drops some of the big names in 1950s and ’60s bowling who used to come to Newburgh to enjoy a game or two. “Don Carter, Dick Webber, even Rocky Marciano and Frank Esposito!

They’d come up on Fridays.” Evidently, for the camaraderie as much as for the bowling. He says that actor Randy Quaid, who played Ishmael in the movie Kingpin, has signed a number of pins provided by Tarsio’s, one of which is displayed in a trophy case by the front desk. He proudly shows me a poster-sized photo of Lou Campi near the front door as I leave: “He was a pro.”

Pat Tarsio, Sr. started the business in 1959 with Campi, also known as “Wrongfoot Louie,” and it has stayed in the Tarsio family for six decades. With 36 lanes, they offer junior, adult and senior leagues, birthday party packages, college nights, retro nights, Cosmic Bowling on Fridays and Saturdays and a Family Night special every Sunday, always striving to

TINOU BAO

keep the sport affordable for all. The full bar is open at noon each day.

Pat Tarsio Lanes is located at 173 South Plank Road (Route 52) in Newburgh; (845) 562-5250, www.tarsiolanes.com.

Spins Bowl Spins Bowl, with two locations – one in Poughkeepsie and one in Wappingers Falls – offers the epitome in upscale equipment and décor. Both facilities have been beautifully renovated to accommodate 21st-century bowlers, including up to 26 family lanes and separate VIP lanes for special groups. At Spins Bowl, expanded redemption arcades boast the latest in games, along with some oldiesbut-goodies like billiards, air hockey, foosball and darts. A laser tag arena, open to anyone 42 inches tall/seven years old and up, offers a two-hour-max playtime with towers, bridges and fog. Full kitchens dish out a broad selection of snacks, burgers, sandwiches, salads and desserts. And bars in each location carry a complete selection of beverages.

Bob Maslosky, a manager in the Wappingers Falls location, has worked for Spins Bowl since 2014, when Bill Diamond (of Diamond Properties/Spins Bowl Entertainment Group) acquired the property. “Yes, the whole look of the place has been upgraded,” he says about the industrial-chic styling. “They did a lot of work, almost gutted the whole place. We have the VIP lanes for special events, a big arcade, a huge bar. And we just took over the restaurant recently. Things are starting to pick up.”

Maslosky distinguishes the difference between a league, which is organized group bowling lasting a certain number of weeks, and a tournament that runs for a day or two, where anyone who is USBCcertified can compete for a money prize.

He talks about a plan to bump out the glass wall at the end of the lounge and extend the patio further out. “We’re right here on Route 9, but there’s not a lot to do around here. The bowling alley has been here since the late ’50s, early ’60s.

We’re more of a family-oriented center now. Everything’s about families. We do host leagues when kids are at home doing schoolwork during the week, but on the weekends, they all come in.”

Poughkeepsie is the flagship Spins Bowl; Diamond has since opened Wappingers Falls and a number of other bowling centers, along with a slew of entertainment-type ventures. Working

here suits Maslosky. “I’m a people person.

I love talking to people, see them be happy and have a good time. A little kid comes up to you and starts talking to you. You know they’re having a good time. They’re safe.

The staff is always aware of what’s going on. We have about 23 staff members, including in the concessions. We’re trying to rebuild leagues here, get more families in – generally trying to give people more to do.”

Spins Bowl is located at 1677 Route 9 in Wappingers Falls; (845) 297-8110,

bar.

“We have a Monday-night pool league and a Wednesday-night dart league. Lots of leagues and tournaments, almost every day in winter. Women’s, men’s, mixed league, senior league – they bowl almost 50 weeks! Wednesdays we are almost full with leagues. Thursdays my league bowlers and seniors play for a dollar a game. We have youth league Saturday morning, and father-and-son on Sunday morning. In summer we only have three or four leagues.”

Like most bowling-center owners, Patel is particularly focused on young people.

He mentions a scholarship program for junior bowlers, coordinated with local high schools for matches and bowling practice (at no charge).

“When kids and families come and enjoy themselves, I’m very happy. They can make more friends, spend time together.

Our youngest bowler is three or four years old! These days, all the kids have iPhones or iPads or computers. I never saw this when I was young. My mom used to tell me, ‘Come inside!’ Now we have to tell kids to go outside!”

That said, he mentions how people can book parties online. “Very easy access from your cell phone or computer. Everything is available on the website. Nice and easy!”

Patel’s Kingston Lanes is at 644 East Chester Street in Kingston; (845) 3381414, www.patelskingstonlanes.com.

Ro-Lin Ro-Lin, named for owner David Snyder’s wife Ro and daughter Linda, has been open for three decades in Red Hook, just north of Rhinebeck. Heads up, anyone looking for a business opportunity: The Snyder family is retiring and has put a For Sale sign out front. Still operating day-to-day, Snyder looks back on 30 years of running the only bowling center on the east side of the Hudson River between Poughkeepsie and Albany.

“We’re still hosting leagues, some of which have been with us for the whole 30 years. This is a good location with lots of traffic on Route 9G. We have a bar and snack kitchen and a small arcade.

We added the mini-golf course in 1998. Our lanes are the original wooden lanes – newer bowling alleys install lanes of synthetic Formica – and the pinsetters are the originals, in perfect working order. It’s a mom-and-pop business, like more than half the bowling centers in the country.

The challenge is tremendous,” he adds.

But evidently, well worth the time and energy and money spent. Bowlersjournal. com reports that bowling centers have become a profitable cash business in which to invest. They cite bowling as being a $10 billion industry, with 67 million people who bowl at least once a year. They also list the average cost to build a bowling center from the ground up to be approximately $100,000 per lane. Ro-Lin has 20 bowling lanes in an 18,000-square-foot block-and-steel building, sitting on a picturesque 4.9-acre lot. If you’re intrigued by the opportunity, do the math and check it out.

If not, stop by for a game or two, anyway, and wish the Snyders well. Their winter hours are Thursday from 4:30 to 10 p.m., Friday from 5:30 to 10 p.m., Saturday from 2 to 10 p.m., Sunday from 2 to 7 p.m. and Monday from 5:30 to 9 p.m.

Ro-Lin is located at 3974 Route 9G in Red Hook; (845) 876-6300, www. rolinlanes.com.

– Ann Hutton

Pat Tarsio, Sr. started the Newburgh lanes in 1959 with professional bowler Lou Campi, also known as “Wrongfoot Louie,” and it has stayed in the Tarsio family for six decades. www.spinsbowl.com/wappingers-falls-ny; and at 47 Taft Avenue in Poughkeepsie; (845) 471-1820, www.spinsbowl.com/ poughkeepsie-ny.

Patel’s Kingston Lanes A. C. Patel is a consummate entrepreneur, owning Patel’s Kingston Lanes in our region and another bowling center in the Boston area, among other types of business. “I bought this location in Kingston in 2013; I’ve been in the bowling business since 2003. I have another one outside of Boston, which I go to every other week. I came to this country in 2002 and started these other businesses, too.”

He talks about Kingston Lanes, up on the rise above 9W. “This one was built about 1960. It was booming then. Now it’s slower, but we’ve done the upgrades: new lanes, new scoring. Every year we try to upgrade. We used to have 52 lanes, but we took 12 out for laser tag, arcade games, a birthday party room. We remodeled the remaining 40 lanes.” The comfortable, warm bar offers 24 beers on tap and a full back bar of liquors and wines. The full kitchen cranks out the food, and on Sundays a buffet is served for players. Two pool tables stand ready for action in the

live panel discussion led by Ulster County Assistant Executive Director Anna Markowitz. Free and open to the public. In addition to Anna Markowitz, panelists include: Janice Cyr, Institute for Family Health; Kezia Cooper, Ulster County Mental Health; and Kim Mapes, Restorative Justice and Community Empowerment Center.
