SOLD OUT: Hyde Park Recreation's Spring Bus Trip: Cirque Du Soleil - Banana Shpeel

Hyde Park Recreation's Spring Bus Trip 
			Cirque Du Soleil - Banana Shpeel
   			   At the Beacon Theatre in NYC
  			   Sunday, May 16th - 3:00 show

Don't miss the brand new show from Cirque du Soleil, Banana Shpeel, 
with performance styles inspired by vaudeville, that blends comedy 
with tap, hip hop, eccentric dance and slapstick, all linked by a 
hilarious narrative that ignites a succession of wacky adventures. 

Propelled by crazy humor and intense choreography, Banana Shpeel plunges 
us into the world of Schmelky, a brash, ambitious producer who is trying 
to put together a spectacular variety show. His world is populated with 
sidekicks, dancers, singers and novelty acts - and a bunch of badly 
behaved clowns who crash the auditions spreading chaos in all directions.

10:00 to 2:00 - Free time.  Several drop off/pick ups will be made in Manhattan.

Canadian Geese Population Stabilization Training

Egg oiling training for Canadian Geese population stabilization training will be held on March 19 amd 20, 2009. Egg oiling is an easy egg addling technique. Eggs do not hatch and goslings do not imprint on your area. Unsuccessful parent geese may leave during the molt migration.

Each workshop will cover Canada Geese behavior, effective geese management techniques, case studies from other communities, federal and state regulations, and where to find additional resources. Speakers include:

This workshop is for property, school grounds, recreational facility and park managers, golf courses, college and corporate campuses, lake associations, homeowner associations, cemeteries, public health managers, and the interested public.

The workshops will provide valuable information that will prepare participants for action this upcoming spring.

The workshops are identical, so those interested need only register for one. The workshops are free but registration is required. See links above. Please register by March 16.

Because geese do not recognize property boundaries and so will nest on one property and cause a nuisance on another, it is important for neighboring properties to be aware of management techniques. We encourage you to invite your neighboring property owners to this event. Please forward this announcement.

If you attended Resolving Canada Geese workshops in Nov 2007 or March 2008, you do not need to attend these workshops, but please let your colleagues know about them, and keep applying the geese management techniques you learned. It is time to start planning for egg-oiling.
