66th Annual

Fine Arts and Crafts FestivalJuly 22-24, 2011

This summer, the Buck Hill Fine Arts and Crafts Festival celebrates its 66th year ofart under the trees with a dazzling collection of artists. As an added bonus for lovers ofthe arts, this year’s show is timed to coincide with the kickoff weekend of the Buck Hill-Skytop Music Festival, insuring an art-infused weekend for all.

Art Show Co-Chair Ann Mitchell is very enthusiastic about the heightened level ofenergy surrounding this year’s show: “The combination of the fantastic visual artistswe’ve pulled together for the art show, and the expansion of the music festival in itssecond year makes for an incredible celebration of the arts in Buck Hill.”

The Art Show’s Friday evening preview party (free to members, join at the door, orbring a guest for $15) will celebrate the synchronicity between the Art Festival and theMusic Festival by transporting attendees to the Seville of Bizet’s Carmen.

Grab your favorite Don Jose or Carmen and drink some hearty Spanish wine as youbrowse. Reflect on the gypsy soul that inhabits the art works you see – and the artists youspeak to. And, most importantly, tap into the impulsive gypsy in your own soul (weknow it’s there) and buy that favorite painting or necklace before troops of art aficiona-dos descend on Saturday morning. Be in line before the preview party starts (6:00 p.m.)to make sure you don’t have to break into a dramatic aria when you see a “sold” stickeron the artwork you covet.

Featured Photographer

A new exhibitor for the art show is landscape photographer Jordan D. Lewis. Jordanhas been photographing professionally since he was 18. His move to the Poconos (he

Jordan works with a large format 4x5-film view camera and prints his ownwork, using archival pigments and art papers. He scans the 4x5-inch film at high resolu-tion, capturing and reproducing landscapes in extraordinary detail to provide viewerswith an immersive visual experience.

He is also aclassically trained baritone, and performs frequently, specializing in Art Song Recital.

Featured JewelerInBloom Jewelry is a new exhibitor for us as

well. Founded by Stacey Krantz and JeniferNicodemus, InBloom’s goal is to create jewelrythat reflects beauty in all its forms and helps thewearer, as well as appreciative observers, toremember beauty everywhere.

As a child, Stacey Krantz spent hours in thewoods and gardens outside her parents’ Marylandhome, exploring and discovering. Later this curiosity led her to the pristine EquatorialRainforest of Gabon (as a Peace Corps Volunteer), to the stark desert of New Mexico (asan Indian Pueblo Youth Worker), and finally back to the seasons of Maryland. Theseexperiences reinforced and diversified her sensitivity to the natural world and inspire theshape, line, form and function she incorporates into her designs. Stacey apprenticed with a Master Goldsmith in New Mexico, and studied under ShanaKroiz at the Maryland Institute College of Art Jewelry Program and Blaine Lewis at TheNew Approach School.

The Arts Festival has it all!These two talented artists are just a taste of what awaits you at the Buck Hill Falls

Fine Arts and Crafts Festival. You’ll find potters, photographers, painters, jewelrymakers, fiber artists, illustrators – and beautiful works of art you’ll want to take homewith you.

Building a Home for DanceNew York City Ballet founder and legendary choreographer George Balanchine once

said, “The greatest music is never far from dancing.” Having already established itself asa music powerhouse in the region, both with its variety of performance series and strongeducational component, the Buck Hill-Skytop Music Festival is expanding into dance inits second season.

“Dance will attract a new audience to the festival,” festival General Manager PhilChan says. “As a dancer myself, it was really important for me to share the power ofdance with our audience and show people new ways to appreciate music.” Chan ap-proached New York City Ballet star Ashley Bouder, a Pennsylvania native, to work withhim in creating a new dance component.”“Ashley is known internationally for her strongmusicality and virtuosic technique. She has performed as a guest with Paris Opera Ballet,the Mariinsky Ballet in St.Petersburg, Russia, RomeOpera Ballet, among manyothers. It’s such an honor thatshe is returning to her homestate to develop this programwith us.”

Bouder says, “Balanchinewas known for his musicality –making dances that work withand against the music. It is thedancer’s job to show you howto listen to the music. That iswhere I start, whether it islearning a role for the first timeor revisiting a piece from ourrepertory.”

With this in mind, Bouderand Chan set out to build adance component of thefestival that not only had astrong focus on the musicalityof dance, but that was also inline with the festival’s educa-

tional focus. To this end,Chan invited students fromthe Rock Center for DanceEducation in Philadelphia,a leading dance conserva-tory program that attractsstudents from all over theworld.

“Our goal is to showboth the unique relationshipbetween music and dance,but also the progression anddevelopment of musicalityfrom the young student toprofessional star.”

The “See the Music…”Dance Concert will takeplace on July 24 at 2:00p.m. and will be free to thegeneral public. No RSVP is necessary.

Dance also played a key part in the new Festival School Outreach Program, a 5-partartistic residency program in partnership with the East Stroudsburg and Pocono Moun-tain School Systems sponsored by the Weiler family. On June 6, Bouder and Chan werejoined by Broadway star Matthew Stockwell Dibble, also set to appear on the programthis summer, to talk to students about dance and the discipline, dedication, and practiceof the artform.

“I had a great time in the schools,” Bouder says. “Many of these students had neverseen dancers in person and were very curious about what we do. I let a few of thestudents try to partner me and lift me in some traditional ballet poses. They were sur-prised at how hard it was and were definitely curious to learn more! I wish they had hadprograms like this when I was a student.”

In addition to seeing dance on stage, the festival is pushing the boundaries of theartform by using dance as a way to address the symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease. MarkMorris Dance Group’s David Leventhal will present a seminar that explores movementand music in ways that are enjoyable, stimulating, and creative for people withParkinson’s Disease.

“I saw a special on PBS about this program, and thought that it would be a good wayof using the festival’s artistic resources to show how the arts can be used in other waysoffstage,” festival President Dr. David Mazza says. “In this case, dance is not just adynamic performance artform, it also offers health benefits to members of our commu-nity.” The Dance for PD ® workshop will take place on Saturday, July 23 at 2:00 p.m.and be offered free of charge. Registration is required, pleaseemail”bhsmf.office@gmail.com for more information.

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was riding a wave ofpopularity when he tried to re-mold the Constitution by trans-forming a recalcitrant Supreme Court that was undermining hisNew Deal. Even some of FDR’s Democratic allies balked at thisbold power play. The epic battle that followed is recounted in JeffShesol’s gripping “Supreme Power: Franklin Roosevelt and theSupreme Court,” a New York Times Notable Book of the Year.

Buck Hill Art Association’s Support

of the Arts: No Crisis Here!During uncertain times, students drawn to the creative arts might feel inclined to

pursue what they think is a more “practical” line of study. We don’t want that to happen,because part of The Buck Hill Art Association’s mission is to make sure that studentswho are passionate about the arts have some monetary support to pursue their dreams.And, in today’s economic climate, who couldn’t use a little help with college costs?

The Buck Hill Art Association offers two types of scholarships each year:The Buck Hill Art Association Scholarships go to one student at Pocono Mountain

East and one student at Pocono Mountain West each year. The students must be seniorswho are going pursue studies in the arts at schools of higher education. These studiesmay include fine art, drama, poetry, music, dance, and film. In 2011, those $1,000scholarships were awarded to:

LAWN BOWLING NEWS

2011 Lawn Bowling SeasonBy Barbara Smith

The rain has stopped and the greens look great so let the bowls start rolling!We were pleased at the great response of our community survey taken at the end of

the 2010 season. The results showed that many residents would like to learn more aboutthe techniques of lawn bowling and the rules of this intriguing game. We have incorpo-rated some of your wishes into this year’s schedule. Three clinics have been added to theJune schedule. There will be instructors to help both beginners and intermediates. Pleaselet us know if you can attend any or all of these clinics so we will have enough instruc-tors and refreshments for all.

We will put our newly-found lawn bowling skills into practice during July. We willhold a couple matches, but will not hold any large events as July is already chock full offun things to do in Buck Hill. But we will hold the ever-popular Junior Lawn BowlingTournament. We continue to convert NED lawn bowling drills into age-appropriategames so as to give the children of Camp Club basic skills while letting them enjoy thefun and frolic of this sport. Our program has received national praise and recognition asthe only one of its kind. Several years ago we had been told that this could not be donesuccessfully, but between the cooperation of the Camp Club staff and the hard work ofour lawn bowling volunteers, we have made it into an extremely successful program.You can view the trophies and names of past winners displayed at Camp Club. Tocontinue this program we need volunteers so please consider giving us some of your timefor the enjoyment of your children.

There are three major events schedule for the month of August. The most popular, the“Grandma Bunny Family Festival,” will be held on Sunday, August 7th. This fun day isour most popular and has the highest attendance of parents, grandparents and children. Itis also the event needing the most volunteers. If you want to help with this family eventplease let us know. We will appreciate any and all help.

The Millwater Memorial Tournament is also held in August of each year. Theweather was not kind to us last year and our plans for Eleanor Millwater’s 100th-birthdaycelebration were dampened.

As a baseline, we are asking for $200 per cottage. Of course any amount given abovethe $200 is greatly appreciated and needed. We understand you receive many requestsfrom worthy organizations seeking your support; we ask that you consider your needyneighbors who do not share our fine way of life. We are certainly blessed at Buck Hill.

Conservation Foundation UpdateThe Bluebirds of Buck HillBy Fred Ruben

Have you ever noticed the bluebird boxes on our golf courses? On each of the golfcourses, in plain sight, are the boxes in pairs all facing north. The tiny bird houses arerectangular with a single opening, sitting on a metal pole with a silver metal baffle toprotect occupants from ground predators. Bluebirds are fussy housekeepers. They willnot use a box with last year’s nest. Thus seasonally the boxes must be emptied or thebirds will not use them. Swallows and bluebirds love these boxes and live side-by-side.

At one time the bluebird population in Pennsylvania was diminishing. When birdlovers began an effort to bring bluebirds back, the efforts were successful. The BluebirdSociety of Pennsylvania monitors these birds each year with voluntary reports onbluebird boxes in every county to sample the bluebird population. For 2010, in MonroeCounty, the annual report, without data from Buck Hill Falls, shows that 6 boxes yielded13 eggs and 10 fledglings. By contrast statewide monitoring reported 7,686 eggs and6,442 fledglings.

Here in Buck Hill Falls our Conservation Foundation is now independently monitor-ing our 12 golf course boxes every week of the summer under direction of John Jose, ofOtter Creek Environmental Education Services. Under John’s direction, Jackie Speicher,from Pocono Avian Research, and I check the boxes. It’s a treat to see blue or white eggsand, lately, hatchlings the size of a marshmallow that look like ET from the movie!! Atalmost every stop we see bluebirds and swallows, either in the box, on the box, or flyingaround the vicinity. Our latest count, May 31, is 24 eggs and 11 hatchlings. The picturesshow some of these scenes.

The Conservation Foundation is delighted to support this bluebird effort for thepleasure of our community and our environment. See these flying acrobats on our golfcourse, but stay a safe distance from the boxes so as to not disturb any fledglings.

BUCK HILL BIRDER

By Frank MayI was cleaning up debris from the front yard after one of our amazing May thunder-

storms when I found a button. It was one that I had lost off my LL Bean barn coat lastfall. Eureka! It brought back an image that is on the very distant horizon of my memory.

I couldn’t have been more than five years old at the time. We lived in northernPhiladelphia in the Abbotsfords Project. The “project” was a large development of two-story, brick row homes that had been hastily erected by the city to accommodate thethousands of returning servicemen eager to start families after the War. Across the streetfrom our apartment was a reservoir with a small apron of woods surrounding it. When Iwas old enough to cross the street by myself, I spent a lot of time in what were my first“woods.”

There was a 2’x 4’ ladder nailed to one of the trees that was the remnants ofsomeone’s tree fort or perhaps an ancient tree stand for hunting. As I was climbing up itone day, I looked down at one of the steps and there was a button that I had lost off myjacket, much to my mother’s displeasure, several days before. You can imagine herdelight when her’“wander child” returned with the prize. Those “woods” are now gone,long sacrificed to the Roosevelt Expressway.

In the early 1950s we moved to a new development in the northwestern extreme ofthe city called “Stenton Hills” near long established Mt. Airy. It was middleclass withsubstantial brick and stone duplexes that covered many acres. When we first arrived,there still remained a few scattered farm fields and orchards. I remember talking withMr. Keene, the proprietor of the local hardware store up on the “avenue,” who told me heused to hunt rabbits where our house now stood. Really! Actual rabbits - how cool! AsBoy Scouts we often hiked out to Fort Washington State Park where I spent my firstover-night camping trip. It was a hike, with full pack, of about five miles along whatwere then country roads, through large gentlemanly estates and working farms. I remem-

ber hearing my first wood thrush and wipper-will on these trips. The park is still there,although no longer rustic, with paved roads and flush toilets and a visitor center. Thearea surrounding the park is now almost fully developed with single-family subdivisions.

After college and marriage, Ginny and I joined the diaspora of “corporate gypsies”and left the state for the better part of fifteen years. We returned to Pennsylvania in 1985and bought a home in Lansdale. Over the next two decades, what remained of ruralBucks and Montgomery Counties disappeared as one tract after another was plowed andpaved over for houses, roads and shopping centers. We finally sought full-time relief inBuck Hill. I think you are beginning to see the train of thought here.

In only the last three generations or so we have managed to triple our population andexpand our densely inhabited areas far beyond the boundaries of our cities and towns tothe point where they are virtually indistinguishable from one another. This is true forevery metropolitan area in the state, country and the whole rest of the globe as well. Wecannot continue to maintain this rampant rate of growth. It is often said that “you cannotstop progress.” Growth is not progress.

We need to get away from the pioneering mindset of inexhaustible frontiers andrecognize that land is precious commodity that needs to be used wisely if we are going tobequeath any of our natural heritage to our grandchildren’s grandchildren. The humanrace needs to stabilize its growth rate and its unrelenting consumption of our naturalresources including land.

The Pennsylvania Land Trust Alliance, of which the Conservation Foundation is amember, has set a goal of trying to protect one acre for every acre that is developed.That, to me, is a reasonable goal. The moribund economy has given us a respite from theunbridled expansion that has made Monroe the fastest growing county in the state overthe last decade. Although the recession is painful and funding is scarce, we now have anopportunity to catch up.

Chestnut Mountain is an important part of our endeavor. It is the keystone of an archof largely undeveloped land that forms the green crescent over Barrett Township. It is thebeauty of our natural surroundings that help to make Buck Hill the special place it is.

What does all this have to do with birds and birding? Everything! Many species ofanimals, such as deer, squirrels, robins and Canada geese do very well in suburbanenvironments. Others such as fishers, otters and bobcat, as well as neo-tropical migratingbirds such as the wood thrush and many of the warblers, require large connected tracts ofopen space to survive.

If you haven’t yet made apledge towards the Founda-tions efforts to purchaseChestnut Mountain we urgeyou to please consider it.

Getting back to that button Ifound; Ginny no longer has anexcuse for not repairing mycoat.

Baby robins waiting to befed. Youth will be served!

Children at PlayWith the arrival of more cottagers and Camp Club starting this month, please remem-

ber to observe the speed limit in and around Buck Hill Falls. Children, along with theirfamilies and camp counselors, will be walking from place to place, riding bikes andplaying nearby. The speed limit through the congested area of Camp Club to the end ofthe tennis lot is 5 mph.

The entrance to the Camp Club will be one way from 8:15 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. andfrom 3:00 p.m. to 3:45 p.m., with the entrance on Rabbit Run Road and exit ontoGolf Drive. This allows children to get out of and into the car on the passenger side andreduces the possibility of a child being hit by a passing vehicle.

Trash Pick-Up and Recycling ScheduleTrash Pick-up: Summer household trash pick-up occurs on a weekly basis each

Monday and Friday morning. Please remember that our trash company, Palmisano WasteDisposal, begins picking up the trash at 6:00 a.m. To assure that your trash is not missed,please put your trash in the receptacle on Sunday and Thursday evenings or before 6:00a.m. the morning of pick-up. All trash must be placed in bags before disposing of it inyour receptacle. Also, please remember not to leave any empty receptacles on your lot.

Recycling: Recyclable items will be collected every Monday through the summer.Recyclable items include clear, brown and green glass jars, tin cans, and plastics markedon bottom #1 and #2. Please rinse all items; removing labels is not necessary. Separatealuminum if possible; newspapers must be tied and placed in a plastic or paper bag;telephone books and magazines should also be bundled and placed in a brown paper bag.

Monroe County Addressing ProjectThe Monroe County is working on a project to update all resident’s physical address.

Everyone in the county will receive a new physical address. This addressing change willenable emergency responders to proceed to an incident more efficiently. The intent is toreduce all emergency responders response time. If you have not received a notificationletter from Monroe County providing you with your new physical address, please callRick Scrudato at the Barrett Township Municipal building at 595-2602.

The Buck Hill Falls Company received many requests to have the new cottagenumber signs done in brown with the white reflective numbers versus the green thatBarrett Township would install. The Buck Hill Falls Company was successful, withapproval from the Barrett Township Board of Supervisors, to be able to install the brownsigns in Buck Hill Falls. The Buck Hill Falls Company will have all the brown signsmade and Company staff will install them at each cottage. Each cottage owner will becharged a feeof $25.00 forthe cost ofthe sign andinstallation.We anticipatehaving thenew numbersigns forinstallationbeginningthis fall.
