“No winter lasts forever;
no spring skips its turn.”
– Hal Borland

Archery roundup

Not having practiced archery since tenth grade, I wasn’t sure what to expect when Dave Beck at Bowdoin Park invited parents to join in for a session during our children’s class, but that satisfying thwack of arrows sinking into the target sure felt good. Winter is a terrific time to channel your inner Katniss or Hawkeye, because with an indoor range, you can practice archery in any weather. For more information or to introduce your family to the sport, here are some area archery resources to check out:

Bold Archery Design, Jeffersonville, (845) 482-2173, www.boldarcherydesign.com

Bowdoin Park, Poughkeepsie, (845) 298-4602, www.co.dutchess.ny.us/countygov/departments/dpw-parks/archeryprogramflyer.pdf

Flying Arrow Sports, Wappinger Falls, (845) 462-0100, www.flyingarrowsports.com

Kenco, Kingston, (845) 340-0552, www.atkenco.com

Northern Dutchess Archery & Sportsman Supply, Red Hook, (845) 758-3651, www.ndarchery.com

Ti Yogi Bowmen, Hyde Park, (845) 229-9447, www.tiyogi.com

 

“Lost Towns” photos wanted

When the Rondout and Neversink Reservoirs were built, more than 1,500 residents were forced to move, and the former sites of the towns of Bittersweet, Eureka, Lackawack, Montela and Neversink are now underwater. Do you happen to have any written materials, stories or photographs of families whose lands were removed for these reservoirs? If so, the Time and the Valleys Museum in Grahamsville would like to scan them for its interactive computer program about this project. For more information or to help, call (845) 985-7700, e-mail info@timeandthevalleysmuseum.org or visit www.timeandthevalleysmuseum.org.

 

Museum of Innovation and Science

The quiet Schenectady Museum that I grew up with upstate is now miSci, the Museum of Innovation and Science, and its engaging exhibits, hands-on activities and informative planetarium shows are a fantastic place to visit with your children or grandchildren. The Making Sense of Sound exhibits are up until June 7, and my kids dashed around playing the haunting theremin, watching a tube of water react to sound waves and playing with recordings of their own voices to isolate various consonants. MiSci’s indoor butterfly house, on-site until April 19 and included with admission, offers a taste of spring with its warm temperature, plentiful flowers and fluttering butterflies.

The planetarium show features a GOTO Star Machine that displays the actual star positions in the night sky for that area. Hands-on science workshops for all ages, from preschoolers through teens, are offered during school breaks and weekends. After your visit, head downtown to Perreca’s Bakery to score a loaf of Perreca’s legendary Italian bread and a cannoli.

Admission to miSci costs $6.50 for ages 3 to 12, $8 for seniors age 65 and older, $9.50 for adults and $5 for planetarium shows. Remember to clip your miSci coupon from Saugerties Times! MiSci is located at 15 Nott Terrace Heights in Schenectady. For more information, call (518) 382-7890 or visit www.misci.org.
