WASSAIC — Just steps away from exuberant cheers ongoing at the finish line for RattleSnake Run on Saturday, June 14, visitors can find a more subdued ambiance by observing or participating in open-air chess matches in the space between the General Store and The Lantern.
The first-ever Community Simultaneous Chess Game will begin at 3 p.m., intended for children who are at least eight years of age and adults. The number of players is limited to the first 16 who sign up. Sixteen chess boards will be set up with chess pieces, with a single registrant seated at each board. Amenia resident Bill Kroeger will be the opposing player at all 16 chess boards, offering instruction, encouragement, or masterful strategic play, determined by skill level.
All experience levels are welcome. To sign up, stop in or phone the General Store at 845-373-7735 during open hours between 2:30 and 6 p.m. daily. The event is free and there are no prizes except the satisfaction of having participated. Organizers indicate that if the Community Simultaneous Chess is successful, it may become an annual event.

Sixty-four pickleball players from the the Tri-state region competed in an all-day tournament in Copake on Sunday, June 1.
COPAKE — After a day of heavy rain that forced the cancellation of the second annual Copake PICKLEMANIA pickleball tournament, the games were back on Sunday, June 1, at Copake Memorial Park.

Starting a 7:15 a.m. volunteers armed with four leaf blowers began moving the water off the courts, and then followed up with squeegees to get the courts dry for the 64 pickleball players — comprising 32 teams — who would compete in two divisions throughout daylong games.
Last year the regional tournament drew players from Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York, and it was the same this year. Competitors from Ulster County, DutchessCounty, Columbia County and Connecticut and western Massachusetts — and Queens — traveled to compete at the town-sponsored event.

The tournament was organized by a steeringcommittee of the Copake Economic Development Advisory Committee (CEDAC).Steering committee members include: Bill Boris-Schacter, head of the committee, Vicki Sander, Signe Adam, Madeline Silverman,Rob Lazarus and Jayne McLaughlin, ambassador for USA Pickleball, which is the national governing body of the sport.
Boris-Schacter, a member of the Economic Development Advisory Committee,served as tournament director.
Town Supervisor Richard Wolf was on hand, and met up with Hillsdale’s Supervisor Mike Dvorchak and its newly appointed Deputy Supervisor Bart Ziegler, all of whom observed the play while chatting with townspeople.
Pickleball has been around for decades, starting with ping pong paddles and a perforated plastic ball in the 1960s, and by the 1990s was being played in all 50 states, according to USA Pickleball. Copake’s event is not a USA Pickleball sanctioned event.
