Restoring Stockbridge Bowl Not a Member? Come Join Us Anyway! Richard Seltzer, SBA President Annual Meeting Four years ago, at our annual meeting at The Mount, you Stockbridge Association heard us describe the “tool box” of seven alternative means available to combat invasive plants in Stockbridge Bowl. At Saturday, July 28, 2018 our annual meeting last summer, you heard a vigorous plea from one member strongly advocating one of those 1:15 pm to 3:30 pm methods, namely the use of herbicides to control invasive BERKSHIRE COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL Eurasian Water Milfoil. Furey Hall - Kim & James Taylor Music Performance Room 55 Interlaken Road (Rte. 183), Stockbridge Another part of that annual meeting was a presentation by Simon’s Rock professor, Tom Coote, telling us more than 1:15 pm: Registration and Refreshments Annual Meeting most of us ever knew about the morphology and life cycle of 2:00 pm: the rare and endangered snail that lives in our lake. Theme: Discussing New Directions to Restore Stockbridge Bowl Both discussions are particularly relevant now. By-Law Amendment: Executive Committee Quorum and Powers. For proposed change, please see: www.theSBA.org Come...Celebrate Progress!
Continued on Page 2 The endangered mollusk, M. lustrica, is prolific in seven states west of Massachusetts and is not ranked as rare or endangered in any of those states or by the EPA (even before Scott Pruitt). However, it is at the edge of its habitat here in Stockbridge, a fact that inspired the Natural Heritage Endangered Species Program (NHESP) of Massachusetts to offer its succor to this little mollusk.
We met with senior staff from NHESP and reminded them that we had secured their permission a few years ago to install a diversion pipe necessary to have a 5.5-foot winter drawdown. We also told the regulators that we needed to dredge sediment that had accumulated behind several man-made obstructions in the outlet of the Bowl to prevent these areas from becoming a bog.
The NHESP staff told us that they had changed their minds. A 5.5-foot drawdown would now be impermissible, and they recommended herbicides as a more benign treatment for Milfoil. The biologist-regulators now believed that dredging behind Kwuniikwat Island would destroy habitat of the protected snail. Moreover, a 5.5-foot drawdown would also kill M. lustrica, which could not crawl out to deeper water.
When we told NHESP that the Stockbridge Conservation Commission has historically been opposed to herbicides, they told us three things:
1. Herbicides have been safely used in more than 300 Massachusetts lakes and ponds for more than a quarter of a century to control Milfoil. (This includes Lakes Onota and Pontoosuc in Pittsfield, Goose Pond in Lee and Otis Reservoir.)
2. Based on nearly four decades of experience, NHESP has concluded that herbicides are safe for fish, people and non-target plants, and they are specifically safe for
M. lustrica. Photo by Andy Gold 3. Finally, under Massachusetts law, local governments, including Stockbridge, are completely preempted by state statute from regulating the use of herbicides.
Going forward, instead of giving up At our regular June 2018 board meeting, the SBA directors reviewed the history of our work to control Milfoil and reduce sedimentation behind Kwuniikwat Island and down the outlet. Rather than be stymied by NHESP and its protected snail, the SBA board voted unanimously to proceed simultaneously down three paths:
1. Fund an aquatic plant survey, which is preliminary to applying herbicides in the main body of the lake
2. Hire a hydro-rake operator to clear out the shallow areas adjacent to docks behind Kwuniikwat Island and down the outlet
3. Dredge a channel down the outlet in areas not inhabited by M. lustrica
A representative from the leading licensed herbicide applicator in the Commonwealth will participate in this summer’s SBA annual meeting to describe the intended process and answer your questions.
[2] New Board Members Phyllis (Patti) Klein, Chair, Governance (Nominating) Committee
Board and Officer Changes For the 2017-18 year, our Individual Director ranks grew by three, with the election of Gregg Wellenkamp, Joan Cohen, and Marie Raftery. Lionel Delevingne replaced Marie Raftery as the representative from the Laurel Hill Association. We welcome them to the board. Please see their impressive biographies below. Matt Mandel, Will Laidlaw, and Sally Wittenberg were reelected to 3-year terms and became members of the Class of 2020.
We are deeply saddened to announce the loss last August of our much-appreciated Individual Director Lauren Komack. In 2011, Lauren, a resident of Interlaken Crossroads, gave permission to cross her property with heavy construction equipment to install a silt fence at the site of what was to become the Diversion Drain. In addition, she was a generous individual donor to the Save Stockbridge Bowl Campaign. Her commitment to the SBA was reflected by her love of kayaking on the lake. In her honor, the Board voted to name the meadow in Bullard Woods the Komack Meadow. A plaque will be installed there in the near future.
At the Annual Meeting, last July 29, three officer positions were extended from 1 to 2 years, in accordance with our new Bylaws. Laurie Dubner was reelected Secretary, Richard (Rich) Gerszberg became our Treasurer for 2 years, and my position as Vice-President was renewed.
Our volunteer board provides the “people power” for the many SBA projects, which include support (financial and otherwise) to the Town in implementing its Lake Management Plan and funding for the Invasive Species boat wash at the Stockbridge Bowl Boat Ramp on Rte. 183. Also, the SBA manages Bullard Woods and the Island, our properties on the lake. We seek Board members who can assist our organization in a variety of ways, attend our mainly spring-fall monthly meetings and hold a position as an officer or chair or serve on at least one of our various committees. The personal commitment of time by our board members is essential for our volunteer not-for-profit organization.
One does not have to be a board member to join one of our committees and otherwise help us with whatever “job” is at hand—including organizing our Annual Meeting each summer. If you are able to contribute your time in any way, please contact me at [email protected]. We are always in need of helping hands and new ideas.
It is with great appreciation that we welcome our newest board members, and we are grateful for all who help to keep the Stockbridge Bowl Association alive and well.

Report from the Lake Committee Gary Kleinerman, Chair and Harbormaster
The lake is in good shape. The water is high at this time, and we will try to keep it that way, providing mother nature gives us some help with rain. Weeds are growing quite fast in some pockets, but the harvester should take care of them. The dock on the island is in. The dock at Bullard Woods sustained some winter damage which should be fixed by July 4th weekend. The dam has been lowered to permit only a small amount of water out, enough to keep the brook running and provide fresh water to its residents.
The zebra mussel inspection and washing station is open and running from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm every day until Columbus Day Weekend. For all of you who live on Photo by Andy Gold the lake, if you have guests who come to your house with a boat, please have them bring it to the washing station for inspection and, if necessary, washing.
We would like to thank the State of Massachusetts, the Stockbridge Bowl Association and Kripalu for their financial support for the zebra mussel inspection. Without their generous support, this venture would not succeed. Outside donations to this on-going project are greatly appreciated. We also have provided port-a-potties at the boat launch area, thanks to Gary Miller’s hard work. Gary also puts in and removes the safety markers.
The lake safety markers designate an area from 100 yards off shore, where speed is limited to 6 mph. Outside this area, speed may be up to 40 mph after 10:00 am to sunset. After sunset, maximum speed anywhere is 6 mph. All motorized watercraft should go in a counter-clockwise direction. Please do not swim outside the markers unless you are accompanied by a boat or have a swimmer’s marker, which looks like a large orange football. All watercraft must have a light when operating on the lake after dark, especially during fireworks.
The harvester is hard at work on the lake and should be there for the remainder of the summer, barring breakdowns. Keep in mind that the harvester is about 30 years old and is feeling its age. Mike Nathan and I both feel a new harvester should be in our future. If anyone has questions about docks, moorings or anything else regarding the lake, please call me, Gary Kleinerman, Harbormaster, at 413.441.6244.
[4] Property and Trails: Naming the Island Kevin (Moose) Foran, Chair Silhouettes of kayakers, paddle boarders, canoeists, and fishermen emerge from the mist of dense low-hanging clouds that form during the fall months. These figures surround the island casting an eerie tone upon it. “The Island”—yes, it has always been referred to as such.
That special eeriness would be a great setting for a science fiction movie where people go to the island but never return. By now you may be wondering what is happening to my mind—absolutely nothing is the answer; it is just that the intense intoxication of the natural beauty contained in this magnificent piece of land, sitting in our beautiful lake, has a stirring effect.
This was the genesis of re-naming of the island. The land and water we are blessed to live near is on the original homeland of the Mohican people, the “people of the waters that are never still.” When the Dutch and the British uprooted the Munsee tribe, some of them joined the Mohican tribe, and today this tribal nation is called the Stockbridge-Munsee Community. The nation was forced out of the East and is based in Wisconsin, although its members have always returned to the beloved homelands, working to this day to protect cultural sites. They lived in this region since time immemorial with a natural reverence for all things living—a way of life and a culture we all should aspire to. Looking at the island, an inspirational thought came to me—the island was deserving of a proper name, one that emanates dignity and honor.
Our SBA board wholeheartedly welcomed the idea that the island should be blessed with a name, and discussions began. Over time, and in a co-creative way, it was decided that naming rights might best be given to the Stockbridge-Munsee Community, a beautiful, respectful suggestion. Contacts were made with members of the Community in Albany and Wisconsin, and the matter was taken up by the Tribal Council. Ultimately, the name “Kwuniikwat” was chosen. Council member Jeremy Mohawk describes this name as significant because the word is the same in both the Mohican and Munsee languages and means “appearing long.” It describes the shape of the island.
The name is also meaningful to the tribe and to local history because “Kwuniikwat” is what eventually became the surname “Quinney” in the tribe. A well-known Mohican sachem is named John Quinney. There are tribal members today who directly descend from the Kwuniikwat/ Quinney family. Bringing this name back is a gesture of respect.
The SBA had a sign crafted, and it will be installed as soon as possible, and we are hoping that in the near future, representatives of the Stockbridge- Munsee tribe will be available to come here and officiate at a ceremonial dedication. It is also our Photo by Kevin (Moose) Foran hope that future generations, who walk on Kwuniikwat Island, will appreciate the farsightedness of the SBA Board for collaborating and bringing this “naming” to fruition. We are indebted to Native Americans for showing us what is right and sacred.
STOCKBRIDGE BOWL ASSOCIATION | SUMMER 2018 [5] Neighbors Joan Cohen, Editor, SBA Newsletter
When we bought our property, we thought living atop a hill, overlooking Stockbridge Bowl, would be lovely. Apparently, geese feel the same way. They love the grass on our hillside, which allows them to keep an eye out for predators while they dine. If geese were assessing our property, we’d be taxed out of the neighborhood.
“Wild goose chase” may be a cliché, but for my Golden Retriever, Rookie, it’s an exciting way of life. Besides eating, his favorite activity is racing down the hill in pursuit of the geese. If the geese are looking for grass, they must be pretty discerning, since our chemical-free lawn is an expanse of freshly mown weeds. Photo by Andy Gold The geese seem to grasp that Golden Retrievers are not exactly a ferocious breed. When Rookie tears after them, the geese escape to the lake with a honking cacophony, but they move only a short distance from shore. Rookie, though a proficient swimmer, wades in merely to his knees and barks. There they both stand, waiting to see who gets bored first.
I have nothing against geese, of course. Who doesn’t love seeing them flying in a glorious formation or swimming gracefully, their fuzzy goslings trailing after? It’s the gifts they leave behind that I mind. Just digested grass I tell myself, but I can’t get past the yuk factor.
I’ve tried to deter the geese with statues of owls, balloon-like balls with painted eyes and iridescent streamers. I’m afraid to try a “fence” of string several inches off the ground for fear I’ll run down the hill yelling at the geese and trip over the line. I know everyone worries about the possibility they’ll have wild neighbors that make a racket, but mine are as fowl as they come.

[6] Neighborhood News
There are twelve organization directors on the board of the Stockbridge Bowl Association. As we have not heard from the representatives of Camp Mah-kee-nac, Mahkeenac Heights and the Mahkeenac Boating Club, we trust that there is no news to report and that all is well there. White Pines also reports they have no news so far this summer.
Beachwood The Beachwood Season began with our annual Memorial Day Weekend Association meeting. The event is usually held outside at The Grove, but this year, the weather did not cooperate. Fortunately, Stu and Paula Yurman bailed us out by offering their house to the community. The meeting was cozy and quick (at least by our standards), and I am happy to report that Beachwood is in great shape both physically and financially.
Kudos and thanks to our Board Officers (Ellen Martin, Robin Richman, Emery Sheer, Elaine Cohen and Andy Gold) as well as our Directors (Jane Bastian, Paul DeGenero, Gary Lazarus, Scott Schneiderman, Alice Stephens and Howard Zern) for all their hard work. Where would we be without our Roads Committee? Knee deep in potholes, that’s where! Thank you to Adam Bastian, Paul DeGenero and Beth Doner.
Finally, Beachwood mourns the passing of Ron Krasnick this past May. Ron was a long-time Beachwood resident and a former Vice Photo by Heidi Miller President of our Board. He was an enthusiastic participant in our book group and yoga on the beach. He will be sorely missed. — Pat Kennelly

STOCKBRIDGE BOWL ASSOCIATION | SUMMER 2018 [7] Kripalu Over more than 10 years of research and delivery, Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health has developed an evidence-based program, RISE, that uses the tools of yoga to support frontline employees and leadership in high-stress, high-stakes industries. Anchored in the science and practice of mindfulness and positive psychology, RISE offers tools for greater clarity and stress resilience, better decision-making, and improved work/life integration.
RISE supports local schools and organizations. It has been delivered throughout the Berkshires and brought to the major metropolitan city areas of New York City, Boston and Baltimore. There it was introduced to some Photo by Andy Gold of our most critical social institutions—law enforcement, K–12 education, nonprofit human services organizations, healthcare and to other companies seeking to shift culture, engagement and performance.
Locally, RISE has served organizations including Pittsfield Community Connection, the Berkshire Regional School District, Multicultural Bridge, the Pittsfield Public School System, the Pittsfield Police Department and Berkshire Health Systems. Participants have responded with a resounding vote of confidence. One teacher encapsulated the feedback that Kripalu receives on the program when she described RISE as “hugely beneficial, in big and little ways—all of these being meaningful and significant.” To find out more or to bring RISE to your organization, visit kripalu.org/rise. — Kevin (Moose) Moran
Lake Drive All is well at Lake Drive. We have 36 homes in our area, with 5 of them having year-round residents.
There have been some real estate transactions along the Drive. Marcia and William Koff purchased the home of Arlene and Stephan Genatt. Also, Cary and Shelly Goldman sold their property to Gail and David Schraga. While we regret the loss of our long-time residents, we welcome our new neighbors to the community.
There has been major work on our trees but we are happy to report that our roads held up well during our almost endless winter.
For those who were not able to attend, the Lake Drive annual meeting was held on July 8. — Michael Nathan Photo by Andy Gold
The Laurel Hill Association In 2018, Laurel Hill Association (LHA) entered its 165th year with a proud tradition behind it and a desire to renew and propel its mission to do “such things as shall serve to improve the quality of life and of the environment in the town of Stockbridge.” Soon LHA will not be the best kept secret in town!
“How to Walk Across the United States...and Why?” is the theme of this year’s Laurel Hill Day talk by featured speaker Nancy Fitzpatrick (of The Red Lion fame), who walked from Boston to Newport, Oregon, between 2011 and 2016, and returned to us, because there is likely no place like home...in Stockbridge!
Laurel Hill Day 2018 will be held August 4th, at 2:00 pm, at the Rostrum in the center of Laurel Hill Park. Free event! All welcome. — Lionel Delevingne
[8] Mahkeenac Shores While all of the original homes at Mahkeenac Shores were built in the early 1940’s, and were intended to be used as “camps” for summer fun, they were also frequently used as warm-up shelters during winter months by fishermen from the area.
Currently, our community is used mostly in summer by second-home owners, attracted by the peaceful Berkshire Hills, the lake, Tanglewood, and much else.
We do, however, have residents who come all year round. Here’s a photo of the Shores, taken Photo by Doug Rose by our talented photographer, Doug Rose, while walking on the ice on New Year’s Eve, 2018. Doug is part of our community and lives and works here all year round. Thank you, Doug. — Ron Kaprov
Mahkeenac Terrace After enjoying a beautiful winter (see photo), the residents of Mahkeenac Terrace are excited to revel in another gorgeous summer on the Bowl, listening to beautiful music drifting in from Tanglewood and watching for bald eagles perched on our trees.
Our association is led by our President, longtime resident Matt Bialer, Vice President, David Brause, and Treasurer, William Bakke. Many of our residents have completed home renovations, and the neighborhood is really looking great! We are all so lucky to be able to live in such a special place. — David Brause Photo Submitted by David Brause
Tanglewood The Boston Symphony Orchestra is expanding the scope of its summer festival through a heightened commitment to its Tanglewood Music Center, the BSO’s acclaimed summer music academy. Plans for the $30 million building include a new four-building complex that will support the activities of the music center and serve as the home of the new Tanglewood Learning Institute. According to the most recent estimates, 20 percent of the members of American symphony orchestras, and 30 percent of all first-chair players, studied at the Tanglewood Music Center.
Opening in the summer of 2019, the new building will be made available for use by the Berkshire community during the off-season. Additional plans include comprehensive improvements to Ozawa Hall and a new horticultural initiative for our 542 acres. The largest building will be a multi-use, multi-season space that will accommodate rehearsal and performance activities with an audience capacity of up to 200. Additional buildings will include a 150-seat dining café to encourage interaction between musicians and audience members. You may find more information about this project at:http://archive.skem1.com/csb/Public/show/aqoa-pmc9j--bqtqs-19uksnq8
From Mark Volpe, Managing Director: As stewards of one of the world’s most beloved summer music festivals and one of the top summer music academies for young musicians embarking on professional careers, all of us at the BSO feel a tremendous obligation to continue advancing Tanglewood’s highest performance and education aspirations. We also welcome our role as caretakers of Tanglewood’s exquisite beauty—an inspiration for the millions of concertgoers who have played an essential role in sustaining the festival since its founding in 1937. — Adapted by Cris Raymond from a press release by Bernadette Horgan, Director of Public Relations
