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.

  • 1 Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival 2020 Community Bake-Off
    Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival 2020 Community Bake-Off Playwrighting Event Mahicantuck, The River That Flows Both Ways Sarah Johnson, Ph.D., Public History Consultant Hello, HVSF Bake-Off Playwrights! Here are some history resources to check out as inspiration for your plays. This year’s theme is rich in metaphors, as rivers and deltas have been used in literature, song, and the visual arts to portray life’s movements and confluences. In past years, I have directed participants to their local historical societies, museums, and libraries, to look at collections. This year, I’ve added more digital links because of the Covid-19 quarantine, so you can get inspiration from home, and can think more broadly and symbolically about Mahicantuck. Have a great time writing and thinking about Hudson’s River, as a 19th century map referred to it, and if you have the opportunity, go have a look at the Hudson River and let it inspire you in person. I look forward to the stories you will tell! 1909 Hudson-Fulton stamp The 1909 Fulton-Hudson Celebration was organized to commemorate Hudson’s 1609 “discovery” of the river. The stamp shows his ship the Half Moon, two Native American canoes, and Robert Fulton’s 1807 Clermont steamship on the Hudson.
