Eight week course meets once a week. Fees start at $330 including tools and supplies. Sat 1/19 – Sat 3/29 The Joys of Toys: an Exhibit curated by Bob Skinner Sat 1/19 Opening Reception 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm Free Dr. Skinner, former professor of Fine Arts, at Southampton College, has a local following that comes to see his exhibits on a variety of historic topics. Last year “Art of the Antique Tool” was one of our best-attended shows. Bob will select a variety of 19th-century toys from the museum’s collection and add others from his own considerable antique inventory. On view will be a wide variety of old and not-so-old toys that demonstrate how fashions and values have changed over the years. Games have been popular for millennia, pitting competitive natures against each other in less harmful ways than war. In the 19th century competition was for success in business or world travel. During the Great Depression a new game called Monopoly was invented in which players competed to acquire property or wealth. Other games involved greyhounds, cars, horses, ships and motorcycles racing around the board. Games of learning included puzzles, one of which challenged players to assemble the 48 states into a map of the United States. Building blocks are perhaps the most basic toy a child could have. Stacking them and knocking them over begins at infancy. Blocks with pictures and letters have always been early teaching tools. Later, nesting blocks, Lincoln Logs, Tinkertoys and Erector sets were developed and found in every 20th-century toy box. Dolls, little human stand-ins, are essential to both girls and boys in all cultures, from the most humble tied-up bundles of rags or straw to the most realistic electronic sisters and brothers found today. In this exhibition, dolls from the 19th to the 21st century, including Native American, African-American, Asian, character, storybook and fantasy worlds will be included. |

Montauk Point State Park 631-668-5000 Seals on Long Island : During the cooler months, some special visitors from the north come to Long Island starting in mid-November. They return to Northern New England and Canada in May. Seals belonging to the Pinniped family (meaning “feather footed” or “winged”), are true seals which lack external earflaps, have torpedo shaped bodies for fast swimming. They have long, sharp claws to help them dig into the ice while climbing out of the water or onto the beach. Unlike sea lions, their front flippers are short and they are referred to as “earless” seals. Their hind flippers are webbed and pointed backwards to help them swim. They have been recorded swimming over 12 miles per hour and have been spotted swimming 70 miles off of the coast of Long Island. Seals haul out of the water to rest, sleep, and warm up in the sun’s heat. While on land sunning themselves, they are often seen in a “banana” shaped position. The seals we see on Long Island are most often Harbor seals, but there are a few other types, such as harp seals, grey seals, hooded seals, and ringed seals. Numbers have been increasing in past years into the thousands around Long Island due to the changing location of their food sources and the changing temperatures of their watery habitat. Most of the seals that visit Long Island are younger seals. These marine mammals eat a variety of crustaceans, fish and shellfish like mussels, clams, oysters and squid. Mon 1/14 Seal Observation Walk 9:00 am Meet at the Montauk Point concession area. $5/person ($3 for children) plus a $6 vehicle parking fee. Call for reservations and additional information. Join Mike Bottini on a 3 mile (round trip) hike to view seals and learn about their habits, behavior, and population trends in the Long Island region. Dress warm and wear comfortable hiking shoes; we will be outdoors for 2.5 hours. Binoculars recommended but not necessary. Mike will bring a spotting scope that everyone will get a chance to use. This program is sponsored by New York State Parks, and is scheduled to coincide with low tide, when seals are most likely to be basking on the rocks.
