What is Contemporary Vocal Arts?An Intimate Conversation with Buck Hill-Skytop Music Festi-val Artists Mark Janas and Julie Reyburn

From July 22-30, The Buck Hill-Skytop Music Festival will return toBuck Hill for its second season andpresent a new and exciting performanceseries building on last year’s successfulinaugural season. Many are familiarwith the art forms of opera, dance, andchamber music that make up the festival.However, audiences may not be familiarwith“Contemporary Vocal Arts.” We satdown with the festival’s ContemporaryVocal Arts Artists-in-Residence MarkJanas and Julie Reyburn to learn moreabout them and what ContemporaryVocal Arts is all about.

First of all, what is Contemporary Vocal Arts?JR: Contemporary vocal arts is taking music of yesterday and today and making it

relevant. It’s about making it your own across different styles, whether it is jazz, rock, orpop. You can take any song and, through the arrangement, make it relevant today. It’s avery intimate art form.

You share your music through cabarets. What is a cabaret?JR: They’re usually in a small intimate setting with just the performer and either a

piano or maybe a trio of instruments. The focus is mostly on the lyric and the arrange-ment. You can sing almost any style of music as long as you’re creating a journey and anexperience for the audience. It’s different then a theatre piece because there’s no fourthwall; you are part of the audience and the audience is part for the performance.

MJ: You come to a cabaret to learn about the person you’re seeing. It’s about theperson being themselves in the most open way they can be. It’s also a little less stiff thenother entertainments. It goes back to Germany and a festive mood: people sitting aroundenjoying themselves, being social, but also being grandly entertained.

What makes cabaret so relatable?JR: People have come up to me and told that I have made them cry. They had come to

be entertained, not to feel. But that’s why I’m there; that’s my job. We are there tochallenge, have people feel and dive into their pasts. I’m not talking about therapy, I’mtalking about life and everything that goes along with it.

MJ: The fourth wall melts in a good cabaret experience. Audiences are surprised bythe erosion of that wall – that’s what hooks them. People might have never had theexperience of sitting in a chair listening to a singer like that before. Unique arrangementsare instrumental to your cabarets.

What goes into arranging a song? Do you have a favorite you’ve done?MJ: In opera, your job is to realize what the composer has put down to every last

detail to the best of your ability. In cabaret, you start with more of a blank palette. Thesong is a bunch of colors and you have to paint a painting with it, so you have to struc-ture it. How can we strengthen the message of the song for a particular singer? We dothis by changing what the singer sings, changing the key, and through innovative ways ofrepetition or deletion of certain things. You can even change the meter.

JR: So many favorites: Frankie and Johnny underpinned with Kander and Ebb songsfrom Cabaret and Chicago. Also, Sailing, from A New Brain by William Finn put toChopin or to Offenbach’s Bacarolle as accompaniment. These songs create theatricalmoments. We turn these songs into five-minute one-act plays with these arrangements.It’s something you can do in cabaret that you can’t do anywhere else.

When did you start working together?MJ: I was called to jump in last minute to accompany a workshop at the Singers

Forum in New York City. It’s there I met this incredible singer, Julie Reyburn.JR: Mark and I both moved to New York at the same time in 1996. It was kismet that

we met each other in 1998. In 2000, we put together a show as a fundraiser. We did it asa workshop and it went very well. Fate is Kind was the name of the show. It came fromone of the lyrics of When You Wish Upon a Star, a song in the show. We’ve beenworking together ever since.

You have several things planned for the upcoming festival.What are you most excited about?

MJ: What’s really exciting is working one on one with the kids from the YoungScholars program. We always enjoy performing, but what’s exciting is to see the kids’faces light up. They are in a place where their artistic sensibilities are forming. My choraldirector at Indiana made a significant impression on my career. At the time I had no ideawhat an impact he made on my career. Hopefully, we can do the same for these kids’–we’re going to give them something they can take with them their whole lives.

JR: I didn’t learn anything about lyrics or the meaning of a lyric until I moved to NewYork. Understanding what you’re singing and why you’re singing changes everything.The more specific you are, the better your technique, and the better your singing. It’s thisknowledge that I look forward to sharing with students that are just starting out.

MJ: I’m also glad we’re doing this now compared to ten years ago because twosignificant things on television have changed our art. The first is American Idol; after theshow, popular music changed. Kids then didn’t understand melody and lyric detail.Fantasia [Barrino]’s performance of Somewhere over the Rainbow lit up the world forkids. She made a song they’d heard in the movie The Wizard of Oz her own; it lit up anew generation. The second is Glee, which did the same thing for choral groups. Tenyears ago we would have been considered square – now we’re hip. It makes our jobeasier.

Mark Janas and Julie Reyburn, along with the vocal group Marquee 5, will perform andteach throughout the festival. Visit www.buckhillskytopfest.org for more informationabout them and to purchase tickets. Discounts are available on tickets purchased beforeMay 30.

Buck Hill Art AssociationExciting Lineup of Art Classes for Summer 2011

The Buck Hill Art Association is offering an extensive array of classes this summer,from traditional favorites with beloved teachers to interesting new offerings frominstructors sure to become favorites. Look for the class brochure in your mailbox, andread on for some of the new highlights.

Gardening and Floral Design - For those interested in the artistic use of plants andflowers, we are offering five all new classes. Elaine Bubb, proprietor of StonewallGarden Center will be teaching her class how to make beautiful container gardens. KateLewis, Creative Director at Skytop, will teach four different classes focusing on floralarrangements and wreath making.

Gastronomic Delights - For those interested in the culinary arts, the Art Associationhas scheduled three cooking classes, one with Patrick Williamson, Executive Chef of ourvery own Fairway Grille, and two others with Chef Lyman Winner of The Frogtown Inn.

Fine Art Classes - The Fine Art Classes will once again feature the always popularartists John James and Jill Swersie. Jill will be teaching oil painting and John will beteaching his watercolor class, which has been a favorite for years.

In addition, we have lined up a new instructor, focusing on two new mediums: glassand woodworking. Angelo Keith, a professional woodworker by trade, has been involvedwith glass for twelve years, and much of his art combines elements of wood, glass, metal,and stone.

The class will be held in his shop/studio, and will introduce participants to basicknowledge of the processes involved in cutting and melting glass, and cutting and gluingwood. Students will produce twoprojects: a small, 6" glass bowl,tray, or window hanging, and an8"x10" cutting board of lami-nated wood. While these projectsmight seem quite disparate, Mr.Keith tells us the processesinvolved in making them arevery similar.

Mr. Keith is a veteran of theArt/Gallery movement in Sohoduring the seventies and eighties,and has an easy-going, informalapproach to teaching that insuresthis class will be both educa-tional and fun.

But wait, there’s more!Don’t feel like painting orcooking or gardening? Howabout making jewelry or knit-ting? Or learning how to playMah Jongg or improving yourbridge game? Tai Chi? Qigong?Photography? You can learn allthis, and more, this summer.

Look for thebrochure in yourmailbox – andsign up quickly,before the classesget filled!

Red Rock Bridge Receives

Some Much-Needed TLCRed Rock Bridge was built in 1916 by the Buck Hill Falls Company. She survived the

flood of ’55, although the stone path on the north side was washed away. Insuranceproceeds from the flood damage allowed the path to be rebuilt in ’56. In the almost 100years since her construction, the bridge has aged gracefully; however, deferred mainte-nance and the elements have taken their toll.

Over the next two months we will complete all of the deferred maintenance andneeded repairs as well as install a safety railing on the north side path leading to theBridge. The repairs will include: replacing part of the south side footing that has beenundermined, clearing all of the drains, stone pointing, replacing missing stones andremoving plants from the stonework.

With this work complete we can be assured that Red Rock Bridge, like the Lower andUpper Falls Path and viewing areas, will be part of Buck Hill’s natural/historical wonderfor generations to come.

Conservation Foundation Annual Dinner Dance

Saturday, July 2, 2011

The Buck Hill Falls Tree TrailsAlong three of Buck Hill’s well-traveled paths, approximately 100 trees have been

labeled with small plexiglass identification tags. These specimens are all located within afew feet of the paths so that the labels can be easily read. Thirty different species of treesare represented, including 26 that are native to this Pocono region of northeasternPennsylvania (the four non-native species—Norway spruce, Scotch pine, European larch,and weeping cherry—were planted as ornamentals). The Tree Trails is a project of theBuck Hill Conservation Foundation and was completed by naturalist, John Serrao.

The longest, wildest path starts at the pool’s lower parking lot and enters the foresttoward the Falls and Jenkins Woods. It bears to the right at the first bench and thenmakes a sharp right at the steep cliffs above the Falls. Then it continues past the fencedDeer Enclosure to a set of steps down to the Falls Road leading to the Falls parking lot.Here it stays along the top, stopping at the Upper Falls. The return route to the poolparking lot bypasses the steps and stays on the main Falls Road, where additional treesare labeled.

The second’Tree Trail is the path from the Camp Club to the Golf Course, parallelingGolf Drive (Cresco Road).

The third Tree Trail is on the opposite side of Golf Drive and starts across from theFlower Garden, also ending at the Golf Course.

These three paths provide great opportunities to learn how to identify many of ourarea’s most distinctive and familiar trees—in any season.

Knocking Out Japanese KnotweedExotic invasive plants such as Japanese Knotweed grow aggressively, spread quickly,

and displace native plants and are a major threat to our natural and cultivated landscapes.Japanese Knotweed, which can grow over ten feet, spreads quickly to form densethickets that exclude native vegetation and greatly alter natural ecosystems.

The two- acre basin area below the Lower Falls has not escaped an invasion of thisdreaded plant. At last year’s Conservation Foundation Family Work Day, members andfriends attacked the plant to wipe out the plant and to open up the view below the Falls.Join the Foundation at this year’s Family Work Day, 9:30 a.m. Saturday, May 28, as itreturns to remove the remaining Knotweed

S&S Cleaning Service

By Frank May“If I Were King” - Ronald Coleman.You have to imagine the British upper-class accent of Ronald Coleman quoting these

words as Poet Francois Villon in the 1938 movie of the same name.If I were King, I would re-order the calendar as follows. Fall would run from October

1st through Thanksgiving, followed promptly by winter through New Years. The rest ofthe year would be divided up between September and May. Baseball would be played inthe five months of May. Football would be played in the four months of September.Basketball and hockey would be confined to three months of fall and winter.

Forget all that stuff about “April showers bring May flowers.” This year we have hadalmost 10 inches of rain in April. It rained over seventy percent of the days. May didn’tstart out much better. It’s been difficult to get in a round of golf - let alone get out intothe woods for birding. The weather this winter and spring to date has been miserable.

The birds, however, haven’t missed a beat. In fact, they seem to have arrived a tadearly. We noticed the first Robins on March 9th and heard the first Phoebe on the 18th.Wood Ducks were on Playhouse Pond by March 20th. There was even an early Killdeeron the parking lot at the Skytop Lodge on the 25th and there was snow on the ground.

Arrivals in April followed in quick succession. Chipping Sparrows were back by the5th. We had a pair of Purple Finch at the feeder on the 8th and Ginny heard the firstLouisiana Waterthrush at Red Rocks on the 11th. By the following week we had heard orspotted Broad-winged Hawks, Black-throated Green and Black and White and PrairieWarblers and Least Flycatchers.

Fred Rubin reported the first Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks at the Golf Cottages on aboutthe 25th of April. On the 26th we had two males and at least three females at the feeder.Judy and Dick Stillinger have seen as many as five male Grosbeaks off their porch. Bythe end of the month Blue-headed Vireos, Ovenbirds, Towhees and Blue-gray Gnatcatch-ers had all checked in.

One doesn’t have to go too far a field in Buck Hill to experience the spring migration.I have been somewhat restricted in my activities lately but I did manage to get out for abrief stroll around the block on the morning of May 3rd. It had rained the previousevening and yet another front was rolling in that afternoon. In the short distance fromLedge Road down the hill on Pheasant Lane I heard or saw no fewer than six differentspecies of Wood Warblers. This phenomenon is known as a “fall-out” when migratingflocks of mixed species take a break from their overnight journey to feed on insects thatare attracted to the newly budding vegetation. New arrivals on that day included Red-start, Magnolia and the most exciting - Blackburian Warblers.

To round the day off, I was in downtown Stroudsburg that afternoon when I heardChimney Swifts darting about overhead. The day was still overcast when I arrived home,but I decided to take a turn around the Inn. There fly-catching on the winds over the oldmonolith, as dependable as Swallows to Capistrano, were newly arrived Chimney Swifts,returning as they have for over a hundred years to Buck Hill.

Note: Chestnut Mountain is a vital part of our local environment providing breedinghabitat for many species of birds, including Turkeys and Ruffed Grouse. If you haven’tas yet made a pledge to help The Conservation Foundation preserve this important pieceof our birthright we ask you to please do so. We hope to hold a nature walk up on theMountain later in the Season.’

The Bear FactsBy Fred Ruben, Conservation Board member

It’s wonderful living in Buck Hill Falls amidst flora and fauna that city friends onlyrarely see and enjoy. My new passion is feeding our birds. This winter and until now I’vefed birdseed and suet to titmouse, chickadee, nuthatch, junco, cardinal, blue jay, dove,and three types of woodpeckers.

Last fall, early one morning, my birdfeeder was destroyed by a black bear as Iwitnessed from my upstairs window. I vowed always to take the feeder down at dusk.This March, as the weather turned warm, I began to think about when the bears wouldcome out of hibernation. John Styk, our ranger, confirmed that it would be anytime now.This prompted me to begin taking the feeder down at dusk. John was right. Within aweek after the first March snowfall there were bear tracks in our back yard.

In the last week of March, I returned home about 9:30 p.m. from a late afternoon trip.Having forgotten to take my feeder down before departing, I feared the worst. When Ientered the driveway I saw the bear had paid a visit, leaving a bent pole and the feedersempty.

A lesson for Buck Hillers is that if we don’t want to feed the bears, take bird feedersinside at dusk. The forest will have plenty of food for the bears.

The Buck Hill Falls Security is led by Chief Andy Andrejcisk. Andy and his staff arevery pro-active in keeping the community safe, peaceful and a fun place to live. If youneed security’s assistance, please call 595-3737 or their office at 595-0692.

Watch Your SpeedWith the busy summer season now here, residents are out walking or riding their

bicycles, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN. Most of our roads are very narrow, curvy and/orhilly. Please obey the speed limits on our roads. The maximum speed limit on all BuckHill Falls community roads is 15 miles per hour. The only exceptions to this are:

• Rabbit Run 25 miles per hour• Valley View Road 25 miles per hour• Lenape Lane 25 miles per hour• Golf Drive 30 miles per hour

Even on these roads, we recommend that you drive at a speed less than the postedspeed limit, especially in the area of the Camp Club, Golf, Tennis, Swimming, LawnBowling and Post Office facilities.

Please be alert, drive carefully and at a responsible speed.

Parking on Buck Hill RoadsMost of the Buck Hill roads in the upper and lower “original community area” are

extremely narrow. Many cottage owners have grown accustomed to parking on Companyroads rather then in their own driveway. This is especially true during the late spring,summer, and early fall. What cottage owners may not realize is that by doing so they arecreating a very serious safety hazard. With our roads being narrow, it is very difficult fora standard-size automobile to pass by a vehicle parked on the road, and absolutelyimpossible for a fire truck or other emergency vehicle to pass by the parked vehicle.

The Buck Hill Falls Company requests that no one park on Buck Hill roads. If it isabsolutely necessary for a cottage owner and/or their guests to park along-side the BuckHill road, they must make sure they have pulled completely off the paved portion of theroadway.

Children at PlayWith the arrival of more cottagers and Camp Club starting on June 27th, the entrance

to Camp Club will be one way from 8:15 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 3:00 p.m. to3:45 p.m., with the entrance on Rabbit Run Road and exit onto Golf Drive. Thisallows children to get out of and into the car on the passenger side and reduces thepossibility of a child being hit by a passing vehicle.

Tick WarningEveryone who is going hiking, walking in the woods or even walking in tall grass

should take extra precautions to prevent ticks from biting them or attaching to clothingand being carried back into your home. Ticks can carry a variety of diseases, includingLyme Disease.

Here are some suggestions for those of you enjoying the outdoors:• Spray all exposed skin areas with an approved tick insecticide• Wear light-colored clothing• Wear long pants tucked into your socks• Wear proper hiking or walking shoes• Wear a long-sleeve shirt and, if possible, a hat or some form of head

covering• After going for a hike or walk and before entering your home or anyone

else’s residence, check to make sure no ticks are on you or your clothing• Thoroughly check your children and pets after they have been outdoors to

make sure no ticks are attached to them.

Notify Company of Address ChangeThe Buck Hill Falls Company kindly asks you to report your change of address if youmoved from your primary or secondary residence. Doing so will assure that the Companycan contact you when needed and the Buck Hill Breeze will be delivered on time.

SAFETY CORNER Trout season has arrived, and now is the time to get your state license and Buck Hillpermit. The Buck Hill Creek, Paiste Pond and Griscom Run all hold native brook andbrown trout. These fish are supplemented with stocked trout from a local nursery. Thestreams and pond are stocked four times throughout the course of the summer. Althoughyou are permitted to keep a total of three fish per day on Buck Hill Creek, we encourageyou to catch and release to allow the fish to grow and propagate more. If you desire tokeep a few fish, keep only the stocked trout, if possible. Buck Hill Falls has a statepermit for an extended season, which allows the waters to be fished from opening day oftrout season through the end of February, being closed from March 1st until opening day.
