This concert is in conjunction with musicians all over the world, amateur and professional, who will be performing Bach’s music, free, in public places. The tradition has come to be known as “Bach in the Subways” (www.bachinthesubways.com) because many performers take to the underground stations in major cities around the world to play Bach’s music for an hour or so. This year the program has expanded to include “above ground” venues such as Overlook Methodist Church. Performers include the SUNY Ulster Chorus and Vocal Ensemble, under the direc- tion of Mrs. Janet Gehres, who will perform some well known chorales with soloists. There will be instrumental music performed by faculty members, including Overlook’s organist Edward Leavitt, with student Natalie Chapman, playing an organ/piano ar- rangement of the well known chorale “Sleepers Wake.” The gifted 12 year old Simone Evans will play Bach’s keyboard partita #1. In addition: Mezzo soprano Stephanie Back- ofen will sing, Greg Dinger will play a guitar solo and Chris Earley a marimba piece. Some ensemble collaborations may also develop among non college personnel. The event is free and open to all. Come and celebrate Bach’s birthday with a SUNY Image courtesy of www.bachinthesubways.com Ulster musician’s concert at 4 pm on Saturday March 21 at Overlook Methodist Church, 233 Tinker Street, Woodstock, NY.

I’m preparing for craft fairs, cooking, dressing the dogs in blaze orange finery, and anticipating the dreaded holiday family get-togethers. We’ve all been there, sitting around the table with Aunt Gertie and Uncle Jasper, and someone asks you about Your Hiking Thing. After all the requisite jokes about the Bataan Death March and how the only hiking Cousin Fred is doing this year is to the fridge and back to the couch… someone asks you the why question. Why do you do it? Why a list? Why in the winter? And especially why if there is no view at the top? I have said it before: the Catskill Forest Preserve is my temple and my gym. The oft repeated John Burroughs quote rings true for me: I too go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.

  • Rartioter Vol
    rartioter Vol. XII, No. 1 WINTER 1 9 7 9 BLACK DOME IN 1924 The Catskill Mountains have been known to white men for three hundred years and their valleys have been settled more than a cen- tury. It would seem as if all their summits ought by this time to be easily accessible by well known trails. Yet there are a dozen or more of the higher ones, above 3500 feet, which have no trails to their summits and which are climbed only by the exploring hiker, or perhaps a bear hunter in winter. I recently found another trackless peak, Black Dome, just under 4000 feet--3990 according to the Durham sheet of the United States Geological Survey--on a week-end climb in the northern Catskills. There is no trail over it, and the only paths that reach its flanks are faded out logging roads in the valleys north and south, attain- ing heights 1500 feet below its highest point. Black Dome is the central and highest of the three peaks that make up the Blackhead Mountains, running east and west, Black Head being the easternmost, then Black Dome and the last Thomas Cole. The other two are about fifty feet lower than the Dome. South of them is the valley of the East Kill, north that of Batavia Kill. North of Black Head runs a long ridge to Acra Point, then turning west to Windham High Peak. South this ridge runs through North Mountain and Stoppel Mountain to Kaaterskill Clove. Black Head is accessible by a good trail.

  • Catskill Park Advisory Committee Meeting Notes October 28, 2020 At
    Catskill Park Advisory Committee Meeting Notes October 28, 2020 at 10:00am Meeting held via Zoom Jeff Senterman welcomed all present and thanked everyone for taking part virtually. He went over a few housekeeping and technical details for the zoom meeting. Jeff also thanked so many stakeholders for submitting reports ahead of time. He said that this helps keep the meeting moving forward and ensures that information that groups want to get out, gets out to all CPAC members. Kathy Nolan mentioned a new group – the Catskill Strategic Planning Advisory Group (CAG) and noted that the group should be added to the agenda. Jeff noted that the new Catskill Rec plan is now available for download on the Catskill Watershed Corporation’s website (https://cwconline.org/catskill-recreation-plan/). Public comments that were submitted have been included and addressed in the final. Updates: FPAC Update: Peter Frank apologized for the technical difficulties at FPAC. All felt it was challenging and using Webex was “a challenge at best.” Discussing one possibility as maybe having an FPAC member host a zoom meeting – as the state must use Webex, but a guest could host using zoom. Jeff S. offered assistance. NYSDEC Update: Peter Frank provided updates from Central Office. Discussed at CPAC when first announced via the Governor’s 2020 state of the state address, the Catskills region is now convening a group to look at Catskill issues with regard to increased visitation and heavy use (the CAG). Many people were considered for representation on this group, it was then narrowed down to a manageable size.

  • The Edward R. Murrow of Docudramas and Documentary
    Media History Monographs 12:1 (2010) ISSN 1940-8862 The Edward R. Murrow of Docudramas and Documentary By Lawrence N. Strout Mississippi State University Three major TV and film productions about Edward R. Murrow‟s life are the subject of this research: Murrow, HBO, 1986; Edward R. Murrow: This Reporter, PBS, 1990; and Good Night, and Good Luck, Warner Brothers, 2005. Murrow has frequently been referred to as the “father” of broadcast journalism. So, studying the “documentation” of his life in an attempt to ascertain its historical role in supporting, challenging, and/or adding to the collective memory and mythology surrounding him is important. Research on the docudramas and documentary suggests the depiction that provided the least amount of context regarding Murrow‟s life (Good Night) may be the most available for viewing (DVD). Therefore, Good Night might ultimately contribute to this generation (and the next) having a more narrow and skewed memory of Murrow. And, Good Night even seems to add (if that is possible) to Murrow‟s already “larger than life” mythological image. ©2010 Lawrence N. Strout Media History Monographs 12:1 Strout: Edward R.
