Summer in the Valley

Hidden gem:

TREVOR ZOO C

at-size creatures with fine auburn fur, the Trevor Zoo’s red pandas are guaranteed to melt the hardest heart. The small zoo at the Millbrook School, which attracts 30,000 visitors a year, is unique for its well-curated variety of animals. You’ll see rare creatures here, including seven endangered species you won’t even find in most big-city zoos. The zoo actively engages in species recovery for its endangered animals: the red panda, two varieties of lemur (ringtailed and black-and-white ruffed), red wolf, golden lion tamarin, whitenapped crane and Lake Victoria cichlid.

– September 2014 6 | June Explore Hudson Valley in the air, the fair has live music, carnival rides, racing pigs, livestock and vegetable exhibits, and food trucks hawking just about everything. Smaller and more intimate than Dutchess County’s fair, Ulster County Fair can be seen — even lugging strollers and kids around — all in one day. The fair opens at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, which is also Carload Night, a special event where $40 admission gets the whole crew inside. On Wednesday through Sunday, the fairgrounds open at 10 a.m. Regular admission is $15 and parking is free. The Ulster County Fairgrounds is at 249 Libertyville Road on the west side of the Wallkill from New Paltz. For more info including the schedule of evening musical entertainment, visit www.ulstercountyfair.com. 8/2-9/21: New York Renaissance Faire If countless episodes of Game of Thrones already have you blacksmithing daggers or making chainmail, it might be time to head to the New York Renaissance Faire in Tuxedo Park. Come dressed as a knight errant, a cutthroat outlaw, a princess or the vile King Joffery Baratheon — or even come dressed in a T-shirt and denim — you’ll bound to be transported to another world. See jousting, hear the minstrels’ songs, watch a falconer send his bird flying, or shoot an arrow or three at the archery range. The Sterling Forest site is on Route 17A, not far from the Harriman Thruway exit, and open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays and Labor Day. Admission costs $24 for adults, $11 for children aged 5 to 12, but early purchase discounts are offered at www.renfair.com/ny. Arthurian literature degree not required.

A notto-miss event for meat-eating foodies, Ribfest features not only the competitive grilling aspect but plenty of opportunity to taste as well. Think you know about barbecue sauce? Prepare to get schooled. Look forward to chicken, pork ribs, seafood and a ton of opportunities to eat well. Expect live music both days, and also grilling demonstrations and tips from the champs. Admission is $5, but you can save by pre-ordering or getting the $12 three-day pass. Kids under 12 are free. Fairgrounds are open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. The Ulster County Fairgrounds are located at 249 Libertyville Road, on the west side of the Wallkill from New Paltz. For info, visit www.hudsonvalleyribfest.org. 8/16-17: International Celtic Festival Just like on St. Patrick’s Day, everyone is Irish at the International Celtic Festival. Topnotch traditional Celtic musicians will play all weekend, but there are also performances from the Screaming Oprhans, Shilelagh Law and the Fighting Jamesons. Step dancers, Irish food specialties and of course plenty of ale and stout are also featured. If bagpipes stir your freckled soul to attention, the annual epic spectacle of bagpipers marching en masse down the mountain takes place on Sunday. Admission costs $16. Kids 12 and under are free.

9/6-7: Hudson Valley Wine & Food Fest Another culinary event of note is the Hudson Valley Wine & Food Fest at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds. Now in its 13th year, the celebration of New York State wineries, tasteful eating, craft beer and liquor is bound to please gourmands of all kinds. Last year’s fest featured celebrity chefs and cooking demonstrations, as well as wine and food seminars. The event is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Online advance tickets for regular adult admission cost $35 for one day. It’s $65 for the whole weekend. Neither tickets include food sampling or beer tasting. However, a Tasting Ticket is required for entry to the beer pavilion. Restaurant samples are priced between $1 and $5. People who’d like to attend but forego the wine tastings and beer, can expect to pay $17 for an online advance one-day ticket, and $32 for the weekend pass. For more info, visit www.hudsonvalleywinefest.com. 9/14: Taste of New Paltz Another hotly anticipated foodie event in southern Ulster County each year is Taste of New Paltz, now in its 24rd year. Restaurants and caterers galore set up shop with their best-of-show dishes to serve to the public. It’s also a huge exposition of farm market stands and local wineries. There’s typically a small entry fee, and food costs a little more. The event runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., but come early since the food tends to sell out. The Ulster County Fairgrounds, located at 249 Libertyville Road on the west side of the Wallkill from New Paltz, offer ample free parking. For more info, search for Taste of New Paltz on Facebook or visit http://www.newpaltzchamber.org/news_ events/Taste_of_New_Paltz.aspx.

It’s so big, with so much to do, that you could safely come back day after day and see new things. Part of that has to do with the fairgrounds in Rhinebeck being more than 144 acres. There are exotic animals on display, Peruvian pan flutists, great music, tons of food, jugglers, horticultural exhibits, tons of animals and more. Gates open at 10 a.m. each day.

Left, white-naped cranes mix and mingle with native ducks at the Trevor Zoo in Millbrook. Native to Russia, China and Mongolia, the cranes face habitat loss in their native homeland; right, a wallaby rests in its enclosure. Located at the Millbrook School and run with student involvement, the small zoo has a diverse collection of rare or endangered animals.

Hidden gem Trevor Zoo in Millbrook offers variety of rare animals Lynn Woods

he Millbrook School, a private high school with 288 students, is located in farm country in a neighborhood of Dutchess County characterized by fixed-up dairy barns, impeccable farmhouses and wellmanicured fields. That beautiful pastoral scene is home to the Trevor Zoo, an extraordinary and unusual school attraction. Trevor Zoo is the world’s only accredited zoo located at a high school. Open to the public seven days a week, the zoo has more than 180 animals, representing 80 species — including seven that are endangered. The zoo engages students in their biology studies. It teaches them volunteering firsthand, and it raises the public’s environmental conscience. Trevor Zoo attracts 30,000 visitors a year — an astounding number considering its understated rural location. The zoo actively engages in species recovery for its endangered animals: the red panda, two varieties of lemur (ring-tailed and blackand-white ruffed), red wolf, golden lion tamarin, white-napped crane and Lake Victoria cichlid. The zoo’s education mission Founded in 1936 by Frank Trevor, the school’s first biology teacher, the Trevor Zoo is tucked away on campus behind a capacious pond where two stunningly elegant, colorful white-napped cranes — native to China, Korea and Manchuria — stand in statuesque pose on the small beach amid a variety of native ducks and geese. Trevor Zoo is unique for its well-curated variety of animals. You’ll see rare species unusual even in big-city zoos. Animal enclosures are humane, thoughtfully laid out, and exactly as big as they ought to be. In terms of its environmental message, Trevor Zoo leads by example. That’s apparent when you open the car door and step onto the permeable pavement stones, which reduce runoff and preserve resources. The school aims to be carbonneutral by 2020. From the gate, next to a roaring waterfall from the dammed brook, the main building of the zoo is discretely tucked into the wooded landscape. Like all the other school outbuildings, it is covered in gray shingles. A large illuminated globe is positioned dead

Native to South America, the rhea is considered threatened due to habitat loss. center in the small pavilion. The globe, a view screen, is host to a series of projections controlled by Jonathan Meigs’ tablet computer. Meigs, the zoo’s director of special projects, is a former zoo director. He demonstrates what the globe can do. One second, clouds waft over the continents and oceans, part of a program transmitting actual real-time global cloud patterns from satellites (with a three-hour delay). The next minute, a bright spray of red, white and yellow dots, representing radiation from the Fukishima nuclear plant explosion, blooms suddenly from Japan and spills over the Pacific and North America. Meigs taps the touchscreen again. Now black shapes creep down from the Arctic and retreat as the ocean lights up with yellow, light blue and green. This is a readout of annual summer algae blooms, a critical part of the food chain, following the line of the melting snow and ice. The 200 programs of the iGlobe, as it is called, are the basis for a new exhibition opening soon on climate change and its impacts. The zoo embraces

its surroundings’ wildness, but also uses technology to give us humans a sneak peek into the animal world. A large screen on a nearby wall shows a webcam of a heron’s nest with five chicks. The camera is positioned near a large spruce on the zoo’s six-acre property. The herons have been nesting in the stand of spruces for seven years. Last March, senior John Norfleed decided to do the webcam as his Cumulating Experience for Seniors (CES), an independent project each senior is required to complete in lieu of final exams. Norfleed’s timing couldn’t have been better. Twenty minutes after the webcam was set up one day in March, the herons arrived, building three nests — one of which was in perfect view of the camera. The female laid five eggs. All of them hatched at intervals of two or three days. The webcam showed the mother feeding the chicks fish caught in the swamp nearby. It also revealed the huge size difference between chicks. The heron’s oldest was twice as large as the youngest, said Norfleed, who plans to pursue marine bi-

Zoo director Alan Tousignant, who teaches biology at the school, noted that the webcam was being viewed by people in Japan, Russia and South America who have commented in the accompanying chat room. Tousignant said the school requires each student to do volunteer community service. Sixty students can choose to volunteer at the zoo, a commitment that requires them to be on duty every day, feeding the animals and cleaning out the cages. Students can also participate in a veterinary fellowship program, training with two visiting vets once a week. Staff, students help rehabilitate wildlife As a licensed wildlife rehabilitation facility, the zoo is constantly taking in injured or wayward animals brought in by local residents or New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) staff. Recently, students helped care for a common loon found stranded in a parking lot. Tousignant said it was likely blown off course in its northward migration by a storm. Loons can sometimes mistake flat, expansive parking lots for a body of water. Loons require a large expanse of water to take flight. The loon was to be released later that day on the Hudson River, he said. Tousignant added that spring was a particularly busy time for rehabilitation, with many baby birds and animals orphaned due to the high mortality of parent animals hit by cars. Raptors and owls in particular are vulnerable to vehicle collisions, since they feed on road kill. Some of these injured animals — including a laidback, red-tailed hawk with an injured wing — ended up as permanent residents of the zoo.

Red wolves (canis rufus) are critically endangered and would be extinct in the wild if not for successful zoos breeding programs -- like the one at Trevor Zoo in Millbrook. Back in 2012, six healthy red wolf pups were born at the zoo. The hawk is one of several local species inhabiting a couple of large wire enclosures furnished with tree branches and large leafy shrubs. What animals can you expect? At Trevor, you can get near Hudson Valley wildlife usually glimpsed only on a distant tree branch or power pole — or heard but not seen. The zoo’s marvelous array of owls includes the barred, the

Two gorgeous red foxes dozed in one area, while a raven â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a bird whose raucous call I hear often near my home in the Rondout part of Kingston â&#x20AC;&#x201D; perched on a branch, breathtakingly near. Meanwhile, black-headed vultures perched on top of the cage enclosures, nonchalantly breaking the rules. In one of the largest enclosures, three red wolves trotted through the brush. Their massive heads extend from broad shoulders, which taper into lean bodies and thin hindquarters. One slunk up to the fence to examine me attentively through narrow, widely spaced eyes over its raised, inquisitive nose. Red wolves arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a case of recessive genetic coloration â&#x20AC;&#x201D; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a separate species from either coyote or grey wolves. They used to roam the southeastern U.S., but the animal is so endangered most Americans arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even aware of them. By the late 1970s, just 20 animals or so were left. In 1979, every single one of those wolves was captured by wildlife experts in a desperate attempt to save the species. So far, the effort is succeeding. They live now mostly in zoos, but small wild populations have been reintroduced in North Carolina. According to Tousignant, today the red wolf numbers about 175 in captivity and 175 in the wild â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all descendants from the seven breeding pairs among those 20 surviving animals. The zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s red pandas are guaranteed to melt the hardest heart. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a cat-sized creature with fine auburn fur, stripped tail, black legs, round head and close-set eyes, button nose and large velvet ears. Despite the name, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more related to raccoons than giant panda bears. The red panda I walked by quietly climbed down the sides of the enclosure from a thick rope and rooted among the leaves on the ground, stopping to investigate the intruder, who pressed against the cage for a picture. Children and adults alike will also be enchanted by the two lemurs. Locked inside for the night, the black-and-white ruffed lemur stared at me with its bright yellow eyes set in a diminutive black face framed by exuberant white muttonchops. It was chomping on a piece of fruit held in its long, delicate black fingers. Lemurs are from Madagascar, and even as new species are still being identified, they are the most critically endangered primates in the world, due to rapid destruction of the forests they inhabit. As I marveled at the lemursâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; humanoid-like features, I suddenly heard a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoarse voice say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hello.â&#x20AC;? Startled by the invisible greeting several times, I finally figured out it was caused by

the African gray parrot in the cage behind me. Trevorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parrots also do impressions of the zoo keeperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walkie-talkies and have a good memory for what visitors have told them. Organized geographically, the zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exotic residents also include Geoffreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marmoset, Japanese serow, another large goat-like creature called a Reeveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Muntjac (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Muntjacs have extremely long tongues that they use to clean their eyes,â&#x20AC;? noted the label), a couple of South America rheas, not unlike the pair of emus also on display, and a herd of wallabies.

to play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think the educational value and importance of conserving these animal species far outweighs the disadvantages of keeping animals in captivity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if it is done right,â&#x20AC;? he said. He emphasized that last point. The accrediting organization, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, stringently monitors its 220 zoos (of which the Trevor Zoo is the smallest). Keeping animals whose species is endangered or threatened serves two purposes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; preserving the species as well as providing â&#x20AC;&#x153;ambassadorâ&#x20AC;? animals to help build support for the species among the public.

Zoos have a role to play In the case of the endangered species and the Geoffreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marmoset, Tousignant said, the zoo signs an agreement with the state and federal wildlife agencies that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll cooperate with the terms of the species survival plan, which might require breeding of the animal in the zoo or elsewhere. Recently the 30-year-old mate of the ring-tailed lemur died of old age. The experts are seeking another mate for her. The Trevor Zoo also cooperates with local wildlife agency projects, including a program to restore the habitat of the endangered bog turtle. Farmers used to let their cattle graze in the wetlands, which benefited the turtles by clearing out the trees and vegetation; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been having a hard time ever since the practice stopped. Last fall, wildlife authorities from the DEC, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Agency and USDA met with local landowners to encourage them to clear out the vegetation from their wetlands, perhaps by employing goats. The action has been successful in spurring more yearling turtles and turtle nests, Tousignant said. Zoos, in general, sometimes get a bad rap. But Tousignant feels like they have an important role

Learn more about the zoo Besides the programs for students, the zoo also runs a volunteer program for kids age 12 and up to those leaving for college in the summer. The volunteers come from the surrounding community and work with staff members in small groups of five or six. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many come back year after year, and some come back to visit with their kids,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to create conservationists through close-up interaction with animals and wildlife.â&#x20AC;? By all accounts the zoo is succeeding admirably. Anyone who cares about animals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as well as those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x201D; should leave impressed. Trevor Zoo is a place you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss. The Trevor Zoo is located at Millbrook School, 131 Millbrook School Road, and is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day of the year. Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for kids and seniors. Call 6773704 or emailtrevorzoo@millbrook.org for more information. The link for the heron webcam is www.millbrook.org/trevorzoolive.

Kids’ events and activities Pools, parks and parades Mike Townshend

s a parent with two kids, I’ve started to take much more notice how a lot of youngsters spend their time. Like most folks, I’m taking notes on what other parents do and don’t do. Even as a dyed-in-the-wool video gamer, tech nut and avid reader, I wince a little each time I see a kid, indoors on a sunny day, glued to an iPad playing Fruit Ninja or Angry Birds. Even though I grew up with a Game Boy fused to my mitts — and even though I still count going outside to read a

June – September 2014 Explore Hudson Valley book as “exploring the outdoors” — it seems like kids are irrevocably glued the screen. Part of my judgmental attitude comes from arcade-style tablet app games being too repetitive, having almost zero storyline and few redeeming qualities — unlike the games I grew up with. Back in my day, at least we were saving a princess from Gannon or King Koopa. You could go outside, run around pretending to be Mario and Luigi, any of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, or Mega Man and Proto Man — and have a blast doing it. In many ways, pretending to be a video game character on the playground was the 1990s version of playing Cowboys and Indians. Usually, it ended in a Super Soaker battle, a trip to the pool, a hike, or a game of roller hockey. Rudimentary though the plots of those games were, they still fed the imagination. And sure, kids might be inventing playtime games about the Angry Birds. But for the life of me, I can’t imagine grade schoolers rigging up a giant slingshot to launch their friends at a pile of wood would end that well. Another part of my judgment comes from the simple expense of tablets. IPad Minis run from $400 to $830 and iPad Airs run $500 t0 $930. Call me stingy or cynical, but I know firsthand how clumsy kids can be with technology. You will cry uncontrollably when the kids smash the Gorilla Glass on your $900 tablet computer. When they break their own $190 Nintendo 3DS by whipping it at the living-room wall, you won’t have to cry. So, I think about the kinds of things to help our family stay unplugged and outside. Here are a few ideas to get kids’ eyes off the screen.

Indian in the Town of Shandaken. Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for kids ages 6 to 12 and for senior citizens. Kids younger than 6 get in free. Parking is free, and participants should know drugs and alcohol aren’t allowed at the event. Learn more by searching for Big Indian Native American Cultural Center on Facebook or by calling Mary Lou or Frank Stapleton at 254-4238. 8/24: Kingston Artist Soap Box Derby Looking for a unique parade to take the kids to? Are your kids interested in vehicles, art or handiwork? Then the Artist Soap Box Derby near the Kingston waterfront is a good destination. Derby racers roll their crafts down lower Broadway in the Rondout historic district. Most of the vehicles are themselves kooky, silly works of art — like parade floats gone mad. Kingston’s derby also turns 19 this year. It was started back in 1995 as a way to cultivate an interest in the arts. In those nearly two decades, the event has gotten attention from major media outlets. It draws a lot of people to Kingston. Unfortunately, last year’s Derby was cancelled. The 2014 version has been retooled. Learn more by searching for the event on Facebook. 9/27: Reel Expressions Youth Film Festival, Poughkeepsie If your kids are a little older and interested in filmmaking, they can check out the work of their

peers at the second annual Reel Expressions Youth Film Festival. Put on by the Poughkeepsie-based group Children’s Media Project, the film festival screens the work of young filmmakers throughout the United States. Learn more by visiting http://childrensmediaproject.org/programs/reel-expressions/ or call 485-4480.

Cooling off with a nice swim Of course one of the best parts of summer is heading out the lake, pool or local swimming hole to cool off after a hot, hot day. Here are a few of the spots that will help your kids practice that frog stroke or pretend to be a mermaid: Minnewaska, Belleayre, Lake Taghkanic While known primarily for the hiking opportunities it provides, Minnewaska State Park Preserve also has one of our area’s key open water swimming holes. Head down the hill from Minnewaska’s main entrance and parking area, and you’ll find a gravel beach and bathrooms to get changed. A little on the small size, the beach still packs a lot of fun for people who’d like their swimming to be in nature rather than in a pool. Admission is $8 per car, but people who buy the annual state Empire Passport for $65 get in free.

– September 2014 26 | June Explore Hudson Valley So Minnewaska has outdoor swimmers in southern Ulster County covered, but what about east of the Hudson River? Enter Lake Taghkanic. Lake Taghkanic State Park, off of the Taconic State Parkway in Columbia County, offers another good place to swim with the kids. Unlike Minnewaska, expect a sandy beach here. For kids taking a break from splashing, there’s also a playground and hiking trails around the lake. Families who’d like to boat or kayak can rent one at the beach, too. It’s also $8 per car to get in, unless you’ve got the Empire Passport. If you’d really like to make a go of it at Lake Taghkanic, with an extended stay, you can rent a campsite or cabin there. For northern Ulster, Belleayre Beach on Pine Hill Lake is a good option. Another sandy beach, this one has a floating dock and lots of room to play. Belleayre doesn’t take the Empire Passport because they’ve got their own $65 season pass. Admission per car is $10, but senior citizens get in for free during the week and $8 on weekends. Rowboats, pedal boats and kayaks are also for rent at the beach. Find Lake Taghkanic State Park at 1528 Route

June – September 2014 Explore Hudson Valley If you’re looking for a good place to swim and heading to the beach isn’t in the cards, check out these local pools. Ulster County Pool is out near the county fairgrounds in New Paltz. If you’re willing to make the trip out to the country for a swim, you’ll find it is worth it. They’ve got an Olympic-sized main pool, along with two interconnected wading pools for kids. There’s a nice playground out back, and a big shaded pavilion to relax. Cost is $4 for adults, kids 12 and under get in for $2 and senior citizens get in for $1. They’re located at 249 Libertyville Road, in New Paltz. Get more info by calling 255-7027 or look them up on www.ulstercountyny.gov. Andretta Pool at 170 North Front Street near Dietz Stadium in Uptown Kingston is another public pool option. They offer swim lessons, have lap swimming and there’s also a picnic area. Back in 2013, day pass fees were $3 for adult residents, $5 for non-residents. Check http://ci.kingston. ny.us/ for more current info, or call the pool at 331-1682. River Pool over in Beacon is sort of a cross between a public pool and an open-water swim. It gives people a chance to take a dip in the Hudson River, with lifeguards present, while being enclosed in a special structure. The swimming enclosure has a net on the bottom, so you can’t slide down, and it allows kids and adults to swim and play in the Hudson as though it were a municipal park. Opening in July, it is open Tuesdays through Sundays. Free and open to the public, but it can only accommodate 20 swimmers. It is in Beacon’s Riverfront Park. Learn more at https://www.riverpool.org. Town of Washington Pool in Mabbetsville outside of Millbrook in Dutchess County is another nice public pool and park in our area. Day passes are $5 for adult and child or $4 for senior citizens. Non-residents of the town pay the same for day passes. However, the town charges non-residents more for season passes. Learn more at http:// www.towrecreation.com/park-information.html. The physical address is 3744 Route 44, Millbrook. Moriello Pool, located in heart of New Paltz at the intersection of Church and Mulberry, is almost always busy during the season. If you’re already hanging out in the college town, Moriello Pool is a great option — albeit more expensive — to get wet SPECIALIZING IN HARDWOOD FLOORING WIDE PLANK, PREFINISHED SOLID AND ENGINEERED ANTIQUE / RECLAIMED FLOORING / ANTIQUE FURNITURE / CABINET STOCK RECLAIMED HAND HEWN BEAMS CARPET - VINYL - LAMINATE - CORK - BAMBOO MARMOLEUM - CERAMIC TILE - SPECIALTY FLOORING

and cool down. Non-residents can expect to pay more — the 2013 rates were $10 for non-resident adults and $6 for kids 12 and under. Resident day passes were $6 for adults and $4 for kids, but New Paltzonians were required to show proof of residency to get that discount. Learn more at www. townofnewpaltz.org/recreation. Physical address is 32 Mulberry St. SplashDown Beach waterpark in Fishkill If the public pool just isn’t going to cut it, and your kids need more adventure in their lives, the Hudson Valley actually has a waterpark close to home — SplashDown Beach in Fishkill. Older kids and grownups can play in the lazy river, giant wave pool and huge water slides. Little ones have their own Bob the Builder themed kids’ section, along with the Shipwreck Lagoon pirate ship, which has interactive fountains, buckets that dump water and smaller slides. Day passes cost $33 for people taller than 42 inches, but $28 for people under 42 inches and seniors. Season passes are available, too. SplashDown is at 16 Old Route 9, West Fishkill. Learn more at www.splashdownbeach.com.

Museums, zoos and parks Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary is a great place to go if your daughter or son can’t get enough of animals. Complete with rabbits, sheep, turkeys, goats, pigs, cows and more, Woodstock’s sanctuary exists to rehabilitate animals taken off the farm. They’ve got a green, environmental slant to them, and part of their mission is to educate people about the ills of meat production in the U.S. today.

animal sanctuary is only open Saturdays and Sundays, from 11 a.m. till 4 p.m. Admission is adults is $10, kids 11 or younger and senior citizens get in for $5. They’re at 35 Van Wagner Road, in Willow. But GPS units can sometimes send visitors astray, so double check the directions provided at woodstocksanctuary.org. Forsyth Nature Center in Kingston offers another chance to see interesting animals, including bees and hummingbirds, along with some great wildflower and vegetable gardens. There’s a petting zoo and aviaries. You can see sheep, llamas, pigs and goats. The duck pond features has fish, insects, reptiles and amphibians, too. But the nature center is also a part of a park, with a pretty nice playground. Get the kids playing, then bring them to see the critters. It’s open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. during the summer on weekdays, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends and holidays. Forsyth is just off the Kingston Thruway Traffic Circle off Washington Avenue at 157 Lucas Ave. Learn more at www. forsythnaturecenter.org. Mid-Hudson Children’s Museum at 75 N. Water St., in Poughkeepsie, is another good activity hub to keep the kids busy. It’s got imaginative play stations for kids, counting games and a replica of the Hyde Park Mastodon. The museum’s proximity to the Walkway Over the Hudson State Park is bringing new connectivity with the new elevator to the bridge in Upper Landing Park. For Ulster County residents, this could mean that a nice walk from Highland can conclude with an elevator ride down to the Mid-Hudson Children’s Museum. For people on the Dutchess side, it could mean a trip to the museum morphs into a ride up the elevator, over the Walkway and into Highland for some ice cream. Any way you slice it, the possibilities for a choose-your-own-adventure day of fun on the Hudson riverfront have exponentially increased.

Bard SummerScape is a great opportunity for theater fans to see live productions each year. The Trisha Brown Dance Company will perform at this year during its farewell tour.

Summer theatre roundup Frances Marion Platt Bard SummerScape, June 27 to August 17, Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson Bard SummerScape is a premier showcase of the theatrical arts, bringing amazing performers in the fields of music — including classical, opera and cabaret — as well as theatre, dance and cinema to the Bard College campus for seven busy weeks each summer. SummerScape is technically part of the Bard Music Festival, which looks at the work of a single composer with orchestral and chamber music concerts, lectures and panel discussions. Franz

Schubert is this year’s featured composer. Bard celebrates both the festival’s 25th anniversary and the bicentennial of Schubert’s musical setting of Goethe’s Gretchen am Spinnrade — considered by many the birth of the German lied. The theme of Weekend One, Aug. 8-10, will be “The Making of a Romantic Legend”; Weekend Two, Aug. 15-17, will spotlight “A New Aesthetics of Music.” Ticket prices for Bard Music Festival events, many of which star Bard’s resident American Symphony Orchestra, range from $25 to $75. World-class dance is also a part of SummerScape, and this 2014’s dance performances will

Bird-on-a-Cliff Theater Company, July 11-Aug. 31, Comeau Park, Woodstock Off Route 212, right on the edge of downtown Woodstock, is another chance to enjoy Shakespeare outdoors this summer. Bird-on-a-Cliff is known for their charming, relatively low-budget performances of the Bard’s work. Admission is by donation, with $5 the suggested rate, so you can’t beat this for a fine evening’s entertainment. This summer’s choice from the Shakespeare canon will be the much-loved comedy of crossdressing and crossed garters, Twelfth Night. It

will run from July 11 to Aug. 3, directed by Nicola Sheara. The second 2014 production is what is promised as “a glorious adaptation” of L. Frank Baum’s The Wizard of Oz, directed by David Aston-Reese, runs from Aug. 8 to 31. All performances start at 5 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, with no reservations necessary. Bring lawn chairs or blankets. Bird-on-a-Cliff Theater Company, Fridays-Sundays, July 11-August 31, 5 p.m., $5 suggested donation, Comeau Park, Route 212, Woodstock; 2474007, www.birdonacliff.org. Woodstock Playhouse, May 30Aug. 10, Woodstock Risen from the ashes on the site where it was first built in 1928 at the gateway to the arts colony town where Route 375 runs into Route 212, the Woodstock Playhouse was one of the original theatres in the U.S. to offer a summer stock season. And it’s still doing that, offering four productions of popular shows each summer — mostly revivals of Broadway hits. This year, the playhouse launch the summer repertory season this past weekend with a New York Conservatory for the Arts production of J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan. The season continues with Monty Python’s Spamalot, the stage version of the highly irreverent movie parody of Arthurian legends, Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The book and lyrics are by Eric Idle and the music — notably the whistle-along favorite “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” — by John Du Prez and Eric Idle. Shows begin at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, with Sunday matinées at 2 p.m., running from June 19 through 29. Next on the schedule, from July 10 to 20, is the rock musical that first put Tim Rice and Andrew

Lloyd Webber on the map: Jesus Christ Superstar. The curtain goes up at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and at 2 p.m. on Sunday. It will be followed from Thursday to Saturday, July 24 to 26 at 8 p.m. by The Three Musketeers — presumably Ken Ludwig’s 2006 adaptation of the Alexandre Dumas novel, although there is also a 1968 version by Peter Raby. The summer season at the Woodstock Playhouse wraps up with the 20th-century classic West Side Story, with a book by Arthur Laurents (inspired, of course, by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet), music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and choreography by Jerome Robbins. It runs from July 31 to Aug. 10, with an 8 p.m. curtain Thursday through Saturday and Sunday matinées beginning at 2 p.m. Ticket prices for all productions this season except for Peter Pan range from $32 to $40.

Teed off Reluctant golfer learns, ﬁnds friends on the green Hugh Reynolds

pparently seeking the hacker’s point of view, my editors have asked me to craft a few hundred words on, of all things, my “golf career.” While I visited a few driving ranges in my younger days, I had neither the time nor the inclination to take up the game. I was in my mid-fifties — way, way too late to ever become adept at golf — when former mayor T.R. Gallo made me an offer I initially refused. “How about playing in a tournament this Friday?” he said. “One of our guys dropped out, and it’s all paid for. There’s beer on three holes, lunch and dinner.” The price was right, the beer tempting. But golf wasn’t my game. “I don’t like golf,” I told him. “I actually hate golf. It’s frustrating, time-consuming and expensive. And I can’t hit a ball straight.” “It’s best-ball,” he said, something I’d never heard of. “Everybody hits a ball and we play the best shot. With 300 shots a round, everybody gets a chance to be a hero. And there’s plenty of beer.” I was sold, and, as it turned out, hooked. Golf, in one sense, is a lot like bowling. All you really need is the right club, usually a driver. New ones go on sale for upwards of $500 every winter. I get my drivers from a guy named Larry in Rosendale, usually for $50 about three years after he’s moved on to the next best thing. Getting started doesn’t cost all that much, a couple of hundred bucks for a set of cheap Chinese knockoff clubs. Shoes on sale, a bag, a few dozen discount balls, tees, some logo golf shirts, a few lessons from a local pro. We’re not talking Myrtle Beach, a golf factory. But there are golf courses of every stripe all over our region, from championship 18-hole layouts like Wiltwyck in Kingston to nine holes of pasture at Stone Dock in High Falls, from mountain tracks like ancient Mohonk to lowland straightaways like Dinsmore in Staatsburg. And there are valley courses like Woodstock or Rip Van Winkle in Palenville. I counted at least a dozen courses, mostly public, within 20 miles of Kingston, twice that if one chooses to drive another half-hour. The costs are reasonable. Green fees on public courses range from $10 for nine-hole walkers to $65 for 18 holes in a cart, sometimes with lunch thrown in.

the rough, it’s just practice. A frustrating activity One of the frustrations of golf is that even the lowliest hacker knows in his bones how to play the game after a few rounds and perhaps a lesson or two. He just can’t do it. This does not prevent them (and me) from giving advice to other players. I was on a golfing holiday a few years ago at my college buddy’s gated course near Phoenix. A twelve-handicapper in his prime (which is pretty good), he hit his first four drives dead left straight into light rough. “Maybe you’re lined up wrong,” I said to the back of his bulging red neck. “Why is it,” he screamed, turning on a dime, “that bleeping 40 handicappers are always telling bleeping ten handicappers how to play bleeping golf?” I took him at his word. We didn’t speak to each other for the rest of the round. Golfers are convivial people for the most part. Golf is a great way to make new friends or reconnect with old ones. I had no idea how many of my ex-softball, running, bowling buds and few odd politicians I actually liked played golf until taking up the game. Golf is said to reveal character, and I’ve played with a few. One guy I’ll call Honest John plays strictly by the rules, but he’s not a pain about it. Others start cheating in the parking lot. I keep score only in tournaments, and if I hit an extra ball or two out on the course, or kick one out of

Playing with the pols I’ve played with and against every stripe of politician. My bosses at the paper used to say that was a little too close for comfort, but I don’t play favorites. I think my most memorable day on a golf course was the late afternoon of Sept. 11, 2001. It was an awful time at the daily paper, engaged in “localizing” a shocking national tragedy. Around noon I got a tip from an unimpeachable source that a local golfer had been killed in one of the towers. I knew the family and decided on my own that was one story that could wait until the next day. In journalism, that was a cardinal sin. At around four o’clock I drove over to Twaalfskill Club in Kingston where former Hurley Republican legislator Phil Sinagra and I were partners in a club league. Sinagra’s game was about average, which is better than me, which isn’t saying much. He is in any case a real student of golf and very competitive. The other team didn’t show up, to Phil’s delight — a lot of golfers didn’t show up that day — so we won our match by forfeit. We played together for about four holes. I couldn’t hit anything. It was like an out-of-body experience. I told Phil I was going home. Sinagra is wise in a lot of ways, and I value his advice. “What are you going to do when you get home, watch those planes hit the towers again on

TV?” he asked me. “It’s a beautiful day. Get your mind off it. Let’s play. There will be plenty of time for that tomorrow.” Plenty of time to write stories about reactions and victims. I also played a few rounds with Mike Hein, the county executive, a really nice guy on the golf course. Hein, a single-digit handicap at extremely long Wiltwyck in Kingston, is a marvel. He hits it a mile, though sometimes off line, and has a deft touch around the greens. In a game that drives some people insane, he displays an even temperament. In some ways, his golf game reflects his public persona. Hein does not shrink from daunting challenges. “I’m going to take it over those trees,” he said at a tournament at Apple Greens, pointing to a high grove about 250 yards out. “If it works [cutting off a severe dogleg], we’re right in front of the green. If not, we’re screwed.” It worked, the ball clearing the trees on the rise. Nice shot. Cursing and whining verboten For me, golf is almost entirely a men’s sport. Nothing against women; some are good players and they’re always welcome. But to be polite and respectful, there’s not a lot of scratching and groaning, cursing and whining, with ladies present. That’s what I like about golf with my buds, the shared misery and rare exultation, pretty much out of earshot. There must be a thousand golf jokes, most having to do with obsession. Four guys are playing in

Another calls the widow. “When did it happen?” she asks. “About 10:30,” he replies. “Why did you wait two hours to tell me?” she cries. “We were only on the eighth hole,” he replies. The game, which experienced a resurgence during Tiger Woods’ dominance, is said to be in decline. More golfers quit every year than take up the sport. In these parts, it’s always been challenging to run a business that’s available to the public perhaps six months a year. I gave my grandson a set of kiddy clubs shortly

after he began walking. Approaching ten years of age, he hasn’t mentioned golf. He’s more interested in basketball, baseball and soccer. His busy father and I play once a year in a fundraising tournament. I soldier on, finally comfortable in the realty that I’ll never be as good as Phil Sinagra. But that’s not the point any more. I enjoy the walk, the scenery and sunshine, my pals (though I often play alone), meeting new friends and encountering different courses. And I relish the very occasional shot well-played.
