Gardiner seeks to revive summer rec

Donna Smith to replace Jewell Turner as Gardiner’s deputy town clerk

Following a year with no summer recreation program at all due to Covid-19, the Town of Gardiner is taking steps toward reviving the day camp for 2021 on a limited scale. At the March 2 Town Board meeting, supervisor Marybeth Majestic said that she had spoken with the camp director from 2019, Brian Edelstein, who had indicated that he was “willing to come back.”

Majestic suggested that summer rec be limited to Gardiner residents only, and that activities for participants be planned to take place five days a week at George Majestic Park, instead of going to the Ulster County Pool on Tuesdays and Thursdays and on field trips on Fridays, as in previous years. “Kids just want to be kids,” the supervisor said.

Board members responded enthusiastically to the supervisor’s proposal and agreed that she should pursue her conversation with Edelstein. Councilman David Dukler recommended that Majestic “seek CDC guidance on people getting together” and determine vaccine requirements for camp staff. Majestic noted that the town would not be able to hire as many counselors as in the past, given a smaller camper population.

Frances Marion Platt

Frances Marion Platt has been a feature writer (and copyeditor) for Ulster Publishing since 1994, under both her own name and the nom de plume Zhemyna Jurate. Her reporting beats include Gardiner and Rosendale, the arts and a bit of local history. In 2011 she took up Syd M’s mantle as film reviewer for Alm@nac Weekly, and she hopes to return to doing more of that as HV1 recovers from the shock of COVID-19. A Queens native, Platt moved to New Paltz in 1971 to earn a BA in English and minor in Linguistics at SUNY. Her first writing/editing gig was with the Ulster County Artist magazine. In the 1980s she was assistant editor of The Independent Film and Video Monthly for five years, attended Heartwood Owner/Builder School, designed and built a timberframe house in Gardiner. Her son Evan Pallor was born in 1995. Alternating with her journalism career, she spent many years doing development work – mainly grantwriting – for a variety of not-for-profit organizations, including six years at Scenic Hudson. She currently lives in Kingston.
