Fall Catskill Mountain Driving Tours feature Open Roads and Interesting Stops

MOUNT TREMPER – Our two Fall Driving Tours for Enthusiasts are open to all cars and are noncompetitive ways to explore the far reaches of our Catskill Region in company with a varied group of participants. Guided by a curated set of professional maps, you drive at your own pace. Both Tours start at the Catskills Visitor Center, 5096 State Route 28, Mount Tremper, NY.

The 9th Catskill Conquest Rally commemorating the 1903 Automobile Endurance Run is on Saturday, September 20th. This year we are taking a literary turn in our route, with a stop at John Burroughs’ Woodchuck Lodge in Roxbury and the Hobart Book Village, where we will be served a BBQ lunch by the Hobart Rotary. We start by following the Catskill Mountains Scenic Byway and stop at the Cauliflower Festival in Margaretville. After Hobart, we continue to the Hanford Mills Museum, a working sawmill, and Polar Bear Ice Cream. The return follows Route 28 through Delhi and Andes. John Burroughs was the Catskill naturalist who pioneered nature writing and was befriended by Henry Ford, who gave him a Model T to further his Catskill ramblings. Hobart is a village of 400 with seven Book Shops, all with varied specialties. The roads we drive include West Settlement Road and Narrow Notch Road in Northern Delaware County. The total mileage with return to Mount Tremper is 146 miles. We gather at 9am for a light breakfast and are given orientation and the rally pack with maps, a Rally Book with lots of history, magnets and decals. This is when we are all together to meet and greet. Then, at 10am you are released for your day to enjoy all the attractions and beautiful roads. We drive all day and see two stop lights. The fee is $100 per car and the entry form can be found at www.1903autorun.com.

The 7th Catskill Covered Bridge Rally is on October 18th. Starting at the Catskills Visitor Center in Mount Tremper, we follow the Esopus Creek to its headwaters and then pick up the Neversink River and follow eleven additional creeks and rivers on a 130-mile romp through Ulster, Sullivan and Delaware Counties. We cross four historic restored Covered Bridges at Livingston Manor, Beaverkill, Downsville and Hamden, crossing both Branches of the Delaware River. This drive is a hoot in late fall color. We drive all day and see two stop lights. This is an exciting drive that has been characterized as the most fun you can have in a car with your clothes on! Your route will be guided by professional maps, and you travel at your own pace, stopping wherever you wish. We gather about 9am and depart by 10am; this is when we are all together. The fee is $50 per car and the entry form can be found at www.1903autorun.com.

Rally Master Robert Selkowitz developed this program after serving on the committees to form the Catskill Mountains Scenic Byway and the Catskills Visitor Center. A landscape painter with many years of roving the Catskill Mountains, he was drawn to the story of the 1903 Automobile Endurance Run as an opportunity to combine history and experience in promoting enjoyment of our region.  Our beautiful maps are produced by cartographer Liz Cruz of Cruz Cartography.

A Conversation with Writer/Actor/Artist Patricia Van Tassel - An Interview with Julie Zimmermann

Q: How did you conceive of the show “The Last Day of Dorothy Lillian Phelps”?

PVT: This is a fictional character that came to me in 2014. I’ve been working on it for 11 years. I did some work at the Fenimore Museum in Cooperstown, NY where I was asked to initiate a 'character tour' of the Museum gardens, led by writer/naturalist/ Susan Fenimore Cooper. Then I was asked to become American documentary photographer and photojournalist Dorothy Lange in collaboration with a show of her photographs there. So I wrote the piece and would give tours through the show as Dorothy Lange. About this time I figured out I could write my own plays.

Q: Why ‘Dorothy Lillian Phelps?’ How did you name this character?

PVT: Really, it just came to me. Recently I was talking with my mom who enjoys research and genealogy and low and behold, there were several Dorothys and Lillians in our family tree. And although there were no Phelps, there were Felts…but isn’t that really cosmic, in a way? My maternal grandmother’s personality comes thru Dorothy’s character. Tom Waits says writing songs is like fishing—they come to you and that is how this play came to me. In the quiet, it just came. 

Q: Well, putting it out in the cosmos that you could write your own shows probably opened you up to it. Maybe having inhabited historical characters like Lange and Cooper loaned  some inspiration as well. 

Q: How long have you been performing in the area, Patricia?

PVT: I have been performing at The Open Eye Theater for almost 30 years. I’ve done a countless number of shows there from Shakespeare to “Sylvia” to “…Man-in-the-Moon-Made Marigolds,” and most recently the radio play “Anne of Green Gables.” I did the “Belle of Amherst” with The Harvard Players. “Shirley Valentine,” “Walking Towards America,” “Shame the Devil”—those were all historical. They are so informative and so fun to do; a great reason to do one-woman shows. I live in Fulton, NY, a little mountain town, so it takes a long time to meet up with others for rehearsal!

Q: You have an uncanny ability to become many other people.  Where did you train to be an actor?

PVT: I trained at Pratt Institute as an art major in drawing and took theatre arts and acting with Jordon Hott. Then I worked on other things and eventually came back to theatre. I met Amie Brockway, now on The Open Eye Theater Board when she used to be producing director. She  directed me in one-woman shows. And then Amie introduced me to Gene Lasko, an acting coach in NYC. Between the two of them, I learned a lot, and worked with other directors doing random other things, learning all the way.

Q: So with all of this solo work and the concept of giving birth to the character of Dorothy, how did you bring "The Last Day of Dorothy Lillian Phelps" to fruition?

PVT: I applied for an artist residency at  Ancram Center for the Arts last year and received it. I worked there on developing the play after all those years of adding stuff, trimming stuff out, making sure it was really tight. I had a reading last year and was invited to do a directed performance. Sandra Boynton, who usually works with the Will Kempe’s Players out of Troy, NY directed the performance we just did there last week. 

Q: Why do you think people will gravitate towards this play?

PVT: I don't always take roles, and Dorothy came to me. If the character doesn't speak to me, I don't take the role. Dorothy came through me. There are songs in this play, even typing about her last day. There are observations. There's a seriousness although much of it is funny. It's a celebration of Dorothy's last day. 

Q: What's your vision for this piece?

PVT: I am one of those artists who really enjoys the process. Of course, I'd love to tour the show, bring it to Off- Broadway, Broadway, but my real hope is to touch people and have them realize it as a piece of art that is meaningful to humanity. I hope that many people will come, give feedback and spend time with Dorothy Lillian Phelps.

Q: Thank you, Patricia! Break legs!

The Last Day of Dorothy Lillian Phelps was well-received at the Open-Eye Theatre in Margaretville last weekend.

Shandaken Conservation Advisory Council Informs Residents About Flood Risk

By Matthew Avitabile

SHANDAKEN – The Shandaken Conservation Advisory Council met last Monday with recommendations for the community. The meeting at the town hall was well-attended.

Members of the committee were cited prior to the event, including Beth Waterman, Nicole Caputo, Maya Lilly, Robert Cruickshank, and Karen Lee, Catherine del Tufo. The advisory council meets every third Monday each month.

Each member of the board was introduced, including their hard work as volunteers for the community.

The event was emceed by Chair Beth Waterman and included several guest speakers. There was no formal meeting beyond approving the May meeting minutes.

Heidi Emmerich and Max Kelly spoke first, explaining their background. Kelly spoke about flood risk and efforts individuals can make. Shokan Stream Management Program and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County. The presentation was entitled: Shandaken Prepares: Understanding Flood Risk & Your Options for Mitigation. 

The efforts could help protect property and safety, he said. The speaker said that the unique geography of the Catskills contributes to significant flooding. The area has among the highest rainfall in the state and the Northeast, with Shandaken receiving the highest rate of participation in the entire Catskills Mountain range. While some of the water is absorbed into the ground, much flows into local waterways. He said that potential climate change could increase precipitation in coming years. He explained how the floodplains in the Catskills are especially vulnerable to flooding as being "part of the stream."

Emmerich said that flood zones are based on 100-year flood zones, asking if anyone agreed that the term may "not be accurate anymore." She said that the name can be misleading as there is a one-in-one-hundred chance of occurring each year, or 1%. 

"We talk about this term even if it's not the reality anymore because it is the base flood. All of our rules and regulations are based on at the moment." 

She said that such a flood could occur at random intervals. The old model showed that a home with a 1% annual chance of a flood has a 26% chance of flooding during a regular 30 year mortgage, she said. However, more recent models show that there is a 71% chance of flooding in the same period. "It's not a matter of if, but when," she said. 

Emmerich said that residents can check their potential risk by looking at National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) maps. There is also a flood-related map on the Ulster County Parcel Viewer. The average annual cost for flood insurance in Ulster County is nearly $1,500, she said. 

The next speaker was John Mathiesen, the Environmental Engineering Specialist and Program Manager for the Catskill Watershed Corporation (CWC), joined by Joe Bacci. 

He said that there were multiple means for businesses and residents to sell their properties if they are in particular risk of flooding. There are also flood protection efforts, such as flood-proofing properties, as well as anchoring services for propane tanks. 

CWC has also worked on stream construction to mitigate the effects of erosion. The organization will often work with local Soil and Water agencies to rework streams, he said. 

Last to speak was Anna Harrod-McGrew, Natural Resource & Environment Educator from Cornell Cooperative Extension. She advised residents to sign up for emergency alerts, to create a plan in case of disaster, and to build a kit that can be carried in a vehicle or on a person. Getting information out is "challenging," she said, but residents can sign up for NY-Alert and to make sure that wireless emergency alerts are enabled on their phones. 

The speaker also advised reading insurance policies prior to a potential disaster. If there is a flood, those affected should not move items within a home so that insurance adjusters can make an accurate accounting of what was affected. Pets are a key issue, she said and are often overlooked. 

Including a pet evacuation plan, microchipping them, and creating a buddy system with neighbors can help prevent panic. 

Harrod-McGrew advised adding a number of items to an emergency kit, including one gallon of water per person, non-perishable food, a flashlight with extra batteries, a sleeping bag or warm blanket, important documents, a can opener, local maps, toilet paper, trash bags, first aid supplies, a battery-powered radio, and cash. She said that having a waterproof and fireproof bag could help organize vital documents. 

The group is hosting a Fire Preparedness Roundtable Discussion July 21 6:30 at the Town Hall with firefighters speaking.

MUSINGS OF A LOCAL By Iris Mead - THE COMMUNITY CHORALE, A PLEASURE FOR THE EARS

MARGARETVILLE & ROXBURY — In December of 1974, a new musical performance group began their long history of bringing quality and wide-ranging music to the Catskills.  The Community Chorale, led by Richard Tucker for 49 years, until his untimely death in 2023, just four days after their winter concert, was started at the request of the Interfaith Council originally as a Christmas concert.  That concert led to a second concert in 1975 at one of the area churches, and in 1976 to celebrate the Bicentennial, the group decided to continue and add an additional yearly concert.   Through the years, they have presented all kinds of music to generations of residents in the area.  From the beginning, the music has been a mix of jazz, opera, inspirational, Broadway show music, and tributes to known composers.  A small committee of the Chorale selects most of the music for the concerts, always mixing in more serious music with fun music.  He was also the accompanist at each concert and could play the piano!  Now the conducting is shared by Rebecca Maeder Chien, South Kortright Central School choral director, and Carol Ann Dykstra, retired Roxbury Central School choral director, with Dan Chien as accompanist.

Dick Tucker’s mission for the Chorale’s concerts was to bring music to the people without a ticket charge.  There is always a donation box or basket by the door for those who want to help support the Chorale as there is new music to buy, advertising and paying guest musicians who may appear from time to time.  Long time member and musician, Dan Chien, was the natural choice to take on the very hard-to-fill shoes of accompanying the Chorale and will at times do some conducting as well.  An accomplished musician in his own right, Dan serves as the organist/choir director at Jay Gould Reformed Church and is a guest artist/director for many groups in the Oneonta area.

This year’s Chorale is comprised of 30 singers; 11 sopranos, 10 altos, 4 tenors and 5 basses.  Blended together, these 30 voices merge melody and harmony together for the enjoyment of the audience as well as for themselves.  Two of the performers, Agnes Laub and Pat Tucker, Dick’s wife, have been singing with the group since its inception.  Members of the Chorale travel to Roxbury or Margaretville for weekly practice from many towns in the area.  There is no audition required to join, just a love of music and to enjoy the experience and the uplift one gets from singing.  Through the years, the Chorale has performed at the Belleayre Music Festival, Belleayre Opera productions, and the Phoenicia International Festival of the Voice.   They now perform a spring and a holiday concert, one in Margaretville and one in Roxbury.

On last Saturday evening, June 21 at 7:30 p.m., and last Sunday afternoon, June 22 at 2:30 p.m., this year’s Spring Concert 2025 featured The Best of Bond, (James Bond) with music from Bond movies, a medley of familiar songs from MGM movies and a special song called Sing Gently that was done virtually by a choir during Covid.  If you have never attended one of the Community Chorale concerts or are a fan of the Community Chorale, they invite you to get out and enjoy the performance in the future.  It makes all their many nights of practice worthwhile.

The concerts were held last Saturday 7:30 at the Margaretville United Methodist Church, Church Street next to the fire house and last Sunday 2:30 at the Jay Gould Memorial Reformed Church, Roxbury.

A Conversation about …Lightning and Lightning Bugs

The other night I got up at one o'clock because I heard thunder, so I went and looked outside.                 While I had my head poked out the door, I could feel the oppressive humidity wrapping around me. I started to go back inside but stopped to admire the magic show going on above the lawn. Flashes of lightning were bobbing and signalling from grass height to treetop level. It was the nighttime love fest of the lightning bug, If you'll pardon the expression, it gave me a flashback to childhood. The sensation of the warm humid air and the aerial flashes of light reminded me of scampering around with a mason jar to make a lantern of captured insects.

Recently there has been a flurry of media alarms about the fate of the firefly, in danger of extinction. So, I wonder, what is a firefly, AKA lightning bug. I looked it up, and wow! Is it an interesting creature. There are a couple of thousand members of the family Lampyridae worldwide. New York is home to about thirty species, the most common of which is the Photinus pyralis, the common eastern firefly. These are the little guys putting on the light show outside my door.

Of course, lightning bugs are interesting because of their nighttime courting ritual, but there's so much more going on in the course of an individual life cycle. The adult form is a beetle, not a bug or a fly, regardless of what we choose to call it. The adult stage is not the only luminescent stage, either. Larva are known as glow worms because they, too, glow in the dark (they don't flash, though.) So, beyond the magic, how does this all happen, and why are these insects in such danger?

Well, bioluminescence is the short answer. Fireflies have an organ in their abdomen that contains a pigment, a catalyst, and a nucleotide that provides energy for the process of producing light. The insect regulates the flashing with adjustment of oxygen intake. So we want to know why they bother? There are a couple of reasons. One is warning to other creatures that they taste awful. The other is, of course, to attract a mate.Naturally there are exceptions. There is one type of firefly that lures members of another genus in order to eat them. And there are a few bats and birds that tolerate the taste of the luminescent chemicals.

The glow worm stage is an important one ecologically. These fierce little guys devour aphids and midges and mosquito larvae, and worms, slugs and snails. And they glow in the dark. What's not to love?

Why is such a useful and enjoyable insect in danger, then? Well, as usual, it is because of the actions of humanity. Water resources are frequently polluted by overflow of chemicals used for lawn and garden maintenance. Homeowners spray large amounts of mosquito control chemicals around their yards to control not only mosquitoes but ticks and fleas. They kill not only the target insects but every other insect in the area. Beneficials are not exempt from extermination just because their name isn't on the hit list. Every beneficial decimated or removed from an environment leaves a gap for an invasive to flourish.

“The earthbound constellations of summer” is what one observer calls them, and there is a wonderful article by Scenic Hudson Valley at https://www.scenichudson.org/viewfinder/fireflies-beautiful-but-in-need-of-our-help/#:~:text=At%20the%20moment%2C%20there%20are,can%20also%20obscure%20their%20signals. The life history of these magical little guys is unique and worth learning about.

THE CATSKILL GEOLOGISTS BY PROFESSORS ROBERT AND JOHANNA TITUS - A Ledge in the Woods

Do you do a lot of hiking here in the Catskills? If so, then you may have noticed that, from time to time, your trail, especially if it is going uphill, will cross a very large ledge of gray to tan sandstone. You have to climb over it and that can often involve some tough scrambling. Is this just one of life’s random nuisances? Or is there something more to it? It’s not likely that you have ever wondered why this sort of ledge is there. There is really no reason why you should have. But that’s just the sort of question that geologists ask all the time. Recently we went to North Lake and headed north on the Blue Trail. Soon, after less than a ten-minute walk up the trail, we encountered one of these ledges. Take a look at our first photo. That ledge tops out after about a 30-foot rise in the elevation. You scramble up the lower part of the slope. Then you veer to the right, then climb up a four-foot-high sandstone. Then you veer to the left and hoist yourself up another thick sandstone. You walk a few more steps to the left again and climb up one more stratum. That brings you almost to the top; after that the Blue Trail has a long flat, northbound straightaway, but it isn’t long before you encounter another one of these ledges. Later you will see another ledge and, later still, one more. There is a pattern here.

 

 

                         

 

Maybe you remember what we always say about patterns. They are Nature’s way of telling scientists that there is a problem that needs solving. What’s going on here? We were wondering just that when we noticed there was a way to climb off to the right side of this ledge and get a better look at these strata. That took us off to a very fine cliff exposure of these very same beds. See our second illustration.

                                

There must be at least 15 feet of continuous strata exposed on that cliff face. That’s a nice slice of bedrock and this one had a lot to tell us. Take a look and see what you can see. There is an overhanging ledge of rock at the top. The strata up there are flat lying.

Below that are three or four feet more strata. These are very gently inclined to the left. Then at the bottom are a couple more feet of, this time, right leaning strata. It sounds like the rocks are trying to say something, doesn’t it – written in rock language. We speak and read Catskills rock language pretty well and we soon saw what those rocks were telling us. This is a cross section of an old stream channel. The lower sands were once deposited in that channel at the very end of a flood. Later there was another flood and then, later on, still another. Flood waters first flowed this way and deposited sand. And then later they flowed that way and deposited more sand. Back and forth it went, flood after flood. Then the stream was re-routed and flowed off in a different direction – never to return. At least it did not return for thousands of years. When we climb uphill on the trail far enough, we will encounter another ledge, and we will see the sands of that same river when it finally returned, or perhaps another river, when it first arrived here.  Later there is another ledge. That’s another stream. And so it goes; there really is a pattern here. You may have seen it many times, without even knowing it.
