KaatskillKritters It s Just a Click Away by Nicholas Zacharczenko D D S photo by Brigette Zacharczenko Ph D The click beetle Alaus oculatus aka snapping beetle skipjack spring beetle It is a wonderful summertime playmate for a budding young naturalist This particular Catskill beetle used to always pique my curiosity and occupy my time albeit for a short while Eventually the beetle would either play possum scuttle away or take flight but not before revealing its unique secret What is so interesting about this beetle It clicks The click beetle aka snapping beetle skipjack spring beetle family Elateridae is of worldwide distribution with over 7000 recorded species We have several species in our geographic area my favorite being the eyed elator Alaus oculatus It is a rather large bullet shaped and flattened insect close to two inches in length a mottled grayish brown in hue with curved and segmented antennae And it has two very conspicuous eye spots on the top of its thorax Obviously these faux eyes are to thwart predation by mammals and other insects and spiders However what makes these beetles so fascinating is their ability to right themselves and scare away enemies by audible clicking If a skipjack finds itself caught it will click If it finds itself on its back it will first play dead for a while by tucking in all six legs and antennae then arch its back and then loudly and forcefully launch itself skyward about a foot high with a discernible click If it lands on its feet it quickly scurries or flies away If it lands on its back again it will click again and again until righting itself This click is accomplished by hooking a special spine underneath the thorax into a notch on the belly of this mini beast A sudden snap causes the beetle to catapult upwards off the ground As you may have guessed I spent much time purposely catching these beetles in mid air and laying them on their backs for a repeat of the aerial acrobatics After a while however the beetle and I would both tire and I would relent leaving the beetle alone These are relatively tough and long lived insects even their larval stage survives for 2 6 years under 24 ground The larvae resemble mealworms in the pet trade and are called wireworms because of their hard outer shells and thin elongated appearance I would always find a few in the soil while harvesting potatoes from our small family garden in Delhi years ago The dark orangecolored larvae eat vegetable roots stems and seeds and can be quite destructive to commercial agriculture Herbicides are often used on large farms to quell a wireworm infestation The adult beetles eat leaves and sip nectar and are not nearly as destructive as the youngsters can be These beetles are commonly found throughout the Catskills if you chance upon one don t be squeamish Pick it up put it on its back and have some fun with this delightful creature

are not sure how far it reached but that was certainly well to the west of Ellenville Eventually the climate warmed and the ice melted In effect the glacier was retreating back down the Rondout But Ice Age climates go through cycles of warming and cooling There were times when returning cold allowed that Rondout Valley glacier to re advance Each re advance would reach a peak and in front of it a heap of sediment would have piled up to form a moraine fig 1 Warming would return the glacier would retreat and leave that moraine behind It would block the valley and form an earthen dam A lake would result A retreating glacier can produce a number of moraines and an equal number of glacial lakes All that is exactly what had happened in the Susquehanna Valley at Cooperstown So we brought our experience to Ellenville For miles west of town we found broad flat valley floors fig 4 These made up the bottom of the old lake that had once filled the valley It was called Lake Wawarsing But just a short distance west of Ellenville we found a hummocky hill extending from one side of the valley to the other fig 5 The only gap was where the Rondout Creek had cut through it brown on map of fig 6 We had found a moraine We explored the area and found several locations where recent excavation had exposed the boulder rich sediments that typically make up moraines fig 7 Now we had started to develop a history we were looking at our valley glacier in action at a time very late in the Ice Age It had been 35 advancing westward up the Rondout Valley during a cold spell It had reached just this location when the climate began warming Melting returned and the ice retreated leaving the moraine behind This was the very same thing as can be seen south of Cooperstown We needed to learn more we drove back east on Rte 209 until we were just past Ellenville There again we found a broad flat valley floor the bottom of another glacial lake fig 8 That meant that Ellenville itself had once been on the bottom of that lake Now our researches were coming along nicely We were focusing on the town of Ellenville Our field work was drawing us towards its Ice Age history We returned to the town looked again at our map fig 6 and perceived Ellenville as it had been

about 15 000 years ago We saw that from the northwest a fairly large creek descended into the heart of the town It s called Beer Kill The kill cut through a substantial topographic platform It was the very surface that Ellenville was built upon yellow on fig 6 Our many years of experience came into play we recognized that we were looking at the flat top of a hanging delta Beer Kill had flowed into the old lake and deposited a very large version of the hanging delta at Five Mile Point north of Cooperstown Now we drew upon what we had learned during our years of researching columns The top of any delta closely matches the levels of the old lake waters In Ellenville that was at about 380 feet in elevation Delta tops are also very flat again matching the old lake levels Now we had learned something about the lake Its lake level lay at just above 380 feet This had been a large delta It had grown southward from the original mouth of Beer Kill It had expanded out almost to the south side of the valley That created a flat surface which was irresistible when people settled here That platform was an ideal surface for homebuilding again fig 9 Its delta sands were easy to excavate for basements and as those sands were very porous those basements were well drained and would never flood And again it was large there was room for a sizable town to develop What a thing to discover We had learned why Ellenville had come to be where it is It is a veritable gift of the Ice Age But we found something else on the south side of the valley There a smaller creek called North Gully 36 descended the south slopes of the valley It too deposited sediment where it reached the valley floor but these sediments had a different form They were not flat topped they had a uniformly gentle slope to them This was not another hanging delta it was something called an alluvial fan red on the map fig 6 These sediments had been deposited after the lake drained They were not dumped into lake waters and were therefore unable to build a flat topped delta Instead they were spread out on a gentle slope Thus this feature postdates the lake and must be younger Now we were ready to do something that we have gotten better at over the decades We were ready to put together an historic sequence We were able to read the landscape and spin a yarn Our story began when that valley glacier advanced

more cooling and another readvance created a damming moraine downstream and to the east of Ellenville That s when the lake that covered today s Ellenville formed darker blue At that moment the hanging delta was deposited Eventually the lake drained and then the alluvial fan was deposited That pretty much finishes the story Did you follow that Well read this paragraph slowly a dozen times or so and keep looking at our map That should work Then visit Ellenville and see it all for yourself We have become seasoned geologists over the decades Another way in which our writing has changed is that we like to take our readers back in time to the locations we visit We have learned to use the mind s eye the human imagination to portray the geological history of our Catskills Monday Aug 9th 12 346 BC We have climbed up to the top of the moraine just west of the future site of Ellenville fig 5 brown on map fig 6 We have arrived on one of the coldest days of this summer That s odd as the climate has actually been going through a cycle of warming for the last several centuries But you would not know it today it is cold We look to the east and below us a few hundred feet away is the image of a melting glacier The ice is a blue gray with numerous large black fissures in it Vast volumes of water are noisily rushing out of each of them Immediately below us is a pond It extends left to right across the valley To our immediate left a sizable flow of dirty brown water drains out of that pond and it is rushing through a gap in the moraine We turn around and look west 39 Spread out before us and extending far down the valley is a glacial lake The banks left and right still have a little floating ice it is not yet so warm that all of last winter s ice has melted We spy the flow of a brown water current in the middle of the lake That s the water coming from behind the moraine What s missing is vegetation there has not been enough time during this warm spell for plants to migrate this far up the valley This cold day gets worse soon a snow flurry begins It isn t much but it forewarns the return of still another episode of colder climate Ice ages don t give up without a good fight Contact the authors at randjtitus prodigy net Join their facebook page The Catskill Geologist Everybody else has Also visit their new blog site www thecatskillgeolo gist com

decrepit old trees Hey we didn t know they were old vole screens used for protecting apple trees We played on rusted farm equipment and wondered how some of the cars reached their present wooded destination When you re 8 years old it s hard to imagine long term changes or the woods as a field We rode our bikes through old barn stalls swung on grape vines and feasted on blackcaps in between We got lost found ourselves lit fires some got away built forts played war with older kids and found our first girlfriends there too all in those young woods More relevant to our present discussion are the unique trees we found at least I thought they were In one area were two rows of cedar trees in the middle of the woods Looking back at it they must have been white cedar The previous landowner must have planted them to line an old farm road for aesthetics We were ignorant to the past and I thought I discovered some Viking s hallway or something cool like that hidden in the woods There was one tree that seemed to always take on unique shapes It was gray to white and sometimes would bend and slope These trees made excellent climbing trees I called them rollercoaster trees though not sure that was the best term it made sense at the time I could walk up these trees to a point and then slither out to their ends that was a fun thing to do The tree I m describing must have been gray birch Betula populifolia Gray birch sort of resembles white birch or paper birch Betula papyrifera Both trees look similar they both are relatively small trees with white bark Paper birch has bark that peels more readily while gray birch is smoother Both are fastgrowing trees that do not live as long nor grow as tall or thick as some of their fellow trees Gray birch is some what smaller than paper birch it seldom lives past 50 years old and is normally less than 30 feet tall Gray birch leaves are smaller and far more triangular From far away they can be mistaken for the leaves of trembling aspen both flutter in the breeze Lastly gray birch has a much smaller range than paper birch and is normally found farther south Gray birch dips into New Jersey and parts of Virginia from Nova Scotia with outliers in Ohio Paper birch dips south into New York State but mostly is found growing trans continentally throughout Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific Paper birch is rarely found in the Hudson Valley at least where I grew up In higher elevations on the nearby Shawangunk Ridge or Catskill Mountains one can find paper birch more readily Whether it s paper birch gray birch or even aspen these trees seem to share one thing in common They all indicate a recent past involving some sort of mass exposure to sunlight strong winds land clearing for agriculture or housing etc In my case it was the latter two Most of the woods I experienced then had been recently abandoned from agriculture in the last 30 or so years However some portions included abandoned housing developments and gravel pits too Gray birch like paper birch and aspen is shade intolerant It requires full sunlight to grow and cannot tolerate extended competition for sunlight When longer lived trees begin to grow beside it gray birch gets cranky It will bend its way to the nearest porthole accessing sunlight In doing so it can take on some unique shapes or become a roller coaster as mentioned earlier Besides the lack of sunlight the only other significant stressors on it seem to be wind ice and heavy snow Under extreme conditions it bends 43 readily making for uniquely shaped trees in the woods Gray birch s ability to bend made it useful in the past for making barrel hoops Hoops were used to keep wooden barrels together Wooden barrels were used to ship goods like apples nails or potatoes Although gray birch wood can be easily worked with tools its uses have been limited since it never attains large diameters or lives very long Instead it seems it has been mostly used deliberately and accidentally as a nurse tree for the next cohort of trees Gray birch can grow just about anywhere there is plenty of sunlight It has been successfully used in revegetating extremely acidic mine spoiled areas Its roots and leaves help prepare the soil for longer lived trees maple beech black birch hemlock etc The woods I grew up in have matured since the 1980s I bet there are now more oak and maple trees and less gray birch On closer examination gray birch is probably there somewhere waiting for the next dose of sunlight to occur Its seeds are patiently banked in the soil If an opening does occur again seeds can be transported there via wind from far away If it is cut it can sprout from the root crown If it is burned its thin bark is easily damaged but no matter as long as there is more sunlight gray birch will be preserved Small gray birches offer excellent cover for small mammals as well as browse for deer and rabbits Ruffed grouse supposedly love to feed upon its catkins male flowers too If you don t want to wait for a gray birch to occur just plant one Unlike other trees that grow taller you can plant gray birch near the house Its bark is aesthetically pleasing and the tree seems to have few diseases Just add sunlight and go from there www catskillforest org

KaatskillSketches The region is now flush with artisans hoping to hone their craft and carve a living out of the same landscape and in the way that all things old become new again the Catskills are in the midst of an identity crisis Nowhere in the Catskills is that more true than in Delaware County The rolling hills now peppered with resurrected swaths of hemlock and crystal clear streams protected as the primary drinking water source for New York City residents are once again calling to entrepreneurs and artists There is a subtle shift toward gentrification evidenced by the peeled back edges of the No Trespassing signs along Delaware County s borders That is both frightening and exciting to people like Joanna Murphy an artist who divides her time between her home on Elk Creek Road in Delhi and Manhattan s East Village Murphy like other newcomers to the Catskills enjoys the laid back lifestyle but fears too many others might want to partake in that joy A conundrum she concedes as she takes a zen like breath and makes a proclamation of abundance to ward off the mojo of scarcity driven thoughts Murphy an oil painter who favors landscapes has spent much of the past 15 years in Delaware County inspired by its natural beauty She has been fortunate to cultivate an audience in Delaware County and has created several pieces of public art in the form of landscape murals Persistence is key when one is an artist she explained especially when one lives and makes art in Delaware County Her persistence has paid off and through a series of art grants received through the New York State Council on the Arts the O Connor Foundation a Kickstarter campaign the Michelle MacNaught Memorial Fund and donations from individuals and busi nesses Murphy has been able to cocreate public art pieces that have spruced up otherwise unremarkable spaces with community participation Two of the murals appear in Arkville side by side on The Caboose B B multi use building near the railroad tracks on state Route 28 She solicited community participation by involving students at Margaretville Central School where she taught a landscape painting class By asking students what was important to them about where they lived she created a landscape scene that depicts their environment and their answers natural resources and animals Murphy also polled residents the old fashioned way by standing in front of the local post office and grocery store and asking passers by their opinion as to what should be included in the murals Not only was it a way to enlist a sense of community ownership in creating the murals it also helped to rejuvenate and revitalize the area 45 after the devastation caused by Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee in late August and early September 2011 Murphy said the two Arkville murals also spearheaded community pride and residents started fixing up their properties which resulted in a more aesthetically pleasing and a more connected community She also wanted to do something as a way to give back that reflected her part in the community A third Murphy mural that was privately commissioned following her completion of the Arkville pieces can be found on the Suites on Main village of Margaretville which she has dubbed the Cauliflower Mural Cauliflower has a place in Margaretville s history as a force that changed the fortune of the region In the 1920s it was believed that cauliflower would eventually replace dairy farms as an economic driver However corporate competition dashed that dream and the time

Page 48

Mural on side of Stewart s in Delhi when cauliflower was king is remembered by the Margaretville mural and an annual festival celebrated in the village in late September Murphy was also privately commissioned for a four part mural series in Delaware County s Walton Those murals adorn interior walls that overlook an indoor swimming pool and basketball court in a renovated dairy barn on private property Most recently in June 2016 in the Village of Delhi the county seat Murphy created a mural funded by the Michelle MacNaught Memorial Fund Similar to the Arkville murals Murphy enlisted the assistance of local high school students to create a pastoral landscape that includes rolling hills country roads and a Belted Galloway cow all emblematic of the area The Delhi mural appears on the side of The Stewart s building on the village s Main Street Her signature style always showing softened jagged edges of an anywhere Delaware County horizon also contains a signature palette She favors greens electric green in particular which she says she finds a way to work into each of her works It s the prime color of the world she said And from that every kind of loveliness arises It s also a color that she says is difficult to work with because too much of it tires the eyes Nature she said especially that of her Delaware County backyard 46 teaches her how to be curious about change Those are lessons she explained that she loves to share with art students Everything in nature has a purpose Life can be very unpredictable and that is so very prevalent here she said She talks about Delaware County weather unpredictable and extremely changeable which also explains why she no longer paints plein air but also explains why she loves painting landscapes She has always liked to be close to the earth Even as a child she was moved by nature rolling around in the dirt and smelling its dusty brownness It s my legacy she declares with a just realized smile

Page 49

A legacy however is not a living and Murphy has struggled like almost every other artist to make ends meet with her art Though she is able to make a modest living as an artist she must supplement her income through the use of other skills which include working for designers in New York City However she said it s hard for her to create art in New York City She no longer desires celebrity status and instead has thought honestly about just simply surviving in the Catskills I just want to make art that s important to me she said Theshe internet said evolved Both and her she art have to her satisfaction The internet she said has helped her gain traction and put her on equal footing with downstate artists who can personally pres ent their work to a thriving market It is a myth that artists must live work and create in New York City in order to be successful she said She would rather be in a place that nourishes and satiates her Delaware County Her work this year has been about making connections between peo ple wildlife nature and communities I am painting a lot of narratives about landscape not being the most important thing but how it holds and makes connections or shows a lack of connection Murphy said In addition to the natural world Murphy is inspired by children their curiosity and their un rehearsed views Because of that she said particularly over the past year she has found herself more willing to include figures in her paintings The figure of a young girl can be found in the Delhi mural which was not planned but included after a young girl visited Murphy on successive Thursday afternoons while the mural was being created After several weeks of watching asked her paint Murphy the girl if she wanted to help with the mural The girl added flowers to the mural which inspired Murphy to add the young girl to the mural as well Her short term goal is to create two more murals or pieces of public art one in Walton and one in Grand Stewart s Mural 47 Gorge Whether subconsciously or purposefully planned the creation of those two additional murals would provide another connection between distant parts of Delaware County

The Catskills Its History and How It Changed America by Stephen M Silverman and Raphael D Silver Alfred A Knopf hardcover 450 pages 45 Reviewed by John Rowen look exactly like they do in real life days or weeks after seeing a scene is incredible to me This book is generously illustrated with high quality artwork paintings photographs and maps But it is with the artwork that some of the book s troubles begin One painting is described as showing a Hudson River sloop but the ship is a schooner Some of the paintings of Cole s are not his best Silverman tends to devote more paragraphs and pages to events in the Hudson valley or New York City than is warranted to explain Catskill history These regions are interconnected but if he had devoted less time to the places outside the Catskills he could have spent more time on our region One area where he could have spent more time is in explaining what the Catskill Park and the Forest Preserve are His discussion of these two important concepts was short and muddled something that a page or two more could have fixed A discussion on fracking covers 11 pages Fracking is an environmental challenge but a shorter discussion would have allowed spending time talking about efforts in the Catskills to develop sustainable energy Silverman s writing is generally good yet is confusing in places He quotes contemporary authors and has their books in the bibliography But he writes that the author said as opposed to writes something Mr Silver planned to prepare a documentary about the Catskills and interviewed many regional historians He died in a skiing accident It may be that Silverman used these interviews but it would have been nice if this had been clarified It appears that the references in this book cover the Catskill experience It was odd that Wray Rominger or his Purple Mountain Press were not included in the acknowledgments even though many of the press books were consulted Also missing were any articles from this magazine Silverman will give people newly coming to the subject of the Catskills a good overview And if I didn t like some of the shortcomings who knows maybe I will try to write the next history Stephen Silverman s and Raphael Silver s new book The Catskills has some strong positive features and some frustrating ones This is the first region wide Catskill history since Alf Evers wrote The Catskills From Wilderness to Woodstock Since Evers wrote his book in 1973 and reissued it in 1982 with an Afterword a lot has happened in the region Silverman has done a competent job of including the new developments since Evers last wrote He uses a format that is topical and chronological For example he has chapters on the Hudson River School painters Jay Gould and John Burroughs and the Woodstock festival He puts all the information on these subjects into one chapter but the Hudson River School chapter precedes the ones on Gould Burroughs and Woodstock Silverman s account of Woodstock thoroughly captures the facts of the event and delightfully captures the energy of the event I would not have wanted to be stuck in the mud or traffic jams at Woodstock but Silverman captures how everyone there felt so good about the gathering The chapter on the Hudson River School is one of the best in the book I have read many many pages about these artists and seen their paintings But it was not until I read this book that I realized their great achievements In 2016 if you want to paint landscapes you can take an easel and paints in tubes or water colors and sit outside en plein air and paint the Catskills or anywhere else Thomas Cole Frederic Church and their colleagues could not do that They had to mix their paints from scratch and could not do that in the field They could sketch the views and make notes But they had to paint what they saw in a studio away from the scene That Church could make the Catskills 48 BOOKS IN REVIEW CHANGING AMERICA

Penultimate Paddles in the Piseco Indian and Canada Lakes Region Southeast Adirondacks By Russell Dunn John Haywood Photography Publisher soft cover 252 pages 19 Reviewed by John Rowen In a few places one map illustrates trips in several chapters An overview page giving readers a heads up that a set of trips are linked or close together would have made this an even stronger guide In the helpful and crucial safety information in the book s 20 page introduction Dunn states This paddling guidebook is intended for experienced intermediate paddlers who are comfortable on the water and well versed in self rescue procedures Even if a person does not fit this qualification or even if a person is not interested in kayaking or canoeing this is still an appealing book to read Dunn draws the reader in by making him or her feel how attractive and secluded the destinations are I hope to hike through the woods to some of them Some trails to the destinations would be worth cross country skiing especially with the reward of a mountain vista over a frozen lake or pond Some waters seem to be fishable from shore or a float tube although Dunn does not comment on fisheries The Paddling Notes in this book will appeal to armchair historians or travelers Even if I do not make it to places in this book Dunn s capable and congenial writing and his strong assortment of photographs allow me to envision the destinations in my mind and make me feel I had traveled many miles while sitting home In writing this book Dunn spends a significant amount of time considering place names I have read a lot about the Adirondacks and spent the equivalent of weeks examining topographical and watershed maps Yet until I read this book I never knew there was a Whisky Brook Pond a Cherry Brook or Miami River It took reading this book to learn that the names of Canada Lakes and West Canada Creek came not from our neighbor to the north but from Kanata a Native American word for village Whether you kayak canoe or just like reading about the outdoors Penultimate Paddles has something just for you Russell Dunn is a Capital Region writer hiker and kayaker An occasional Kaatskill Life contributor he has written 14 books set in the Catskills and upstate New York guides to kayaking waterfalls and hikes as well as local histories In his latest guide Dunn leaves the Catskills and Capital Region He strikes out to paddle the rivers streams small lakes and ponds of the southern Adirondacks Penultimate Paddles includes 67 excursions in Fulton parts of Herkimer Hamilton Warren and lower Essex Counties The destinations while varied and alluring do not include Great Sacandaga Lake Lake George or Schroon Lake Each chapter has a standard user friendly format Information provided includes launch sites GPS coordinates directions to the launch site water body size depth and elevation above sea level and paddling notes history and descriptions that give the reader a sense of place The book is generously illustrated with black and white photographs and reproductions of old postcards Some views are panoramas of the view from a kayak or the shore others are intimate studies of something found along the way Dunn provides generally clear custom made maps for nearly every paddle It appears that elevations on some maps are in metric units and in feet on others or in the text descriptions For example in the section on Trout Lake the text says Trout Lake Mountain is about 2 200 feet high while the map appears to show it as 679 meters high This might be confusing in a spot or two But all of these trips would require a larger atlas or map for supplementary directions Such information plus the text which generally is clear overcomes any confusion 49 BOOKS IN REVIEW YONDER PADDLING
