Tahawus Trails also has constructed trails at Bear Mountain; the connecting stairs to the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail’s railroad trestle by Joppenbergh Mountain; Minnewaska State Park, where it built a new trail to Stony Kill Falls; an award-winning, boulderhugging staircase at Niagara Falls; and a wheelchair-accessible pathway at Nichols Hill Island, along the St. Lawrence River. In Pennsylvania, the firm designed and built a series of stone steps and viewing platforms at Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic Fallingwater house and, outside Philadelphia, rusticstyle kiosks at Wissahickon Valley Park. Particularly here in the mid-Hudson Valley and Catskills, where there are so many preserves and places to hike, Walsh’s unique skill set has an impact on our lives: how we access and experience the local forests and fields, mountains and waterfalls, with all the details of rock, swamp, cliff, tree and stream. Almanac Weekly’s Lynn Woods recently interviewed Walsh, who lives in High Falls with his wife and three children, about the art and science of trail-building: How did you get interested in building trails?

When I was a kid, my dad got laid off from work and was looking for something to do with his two sons. That’s before there were $600 Gore-Tex jackets. He took us hiking every weekend. I knew I wanted to have a job that was outside, so I volunteered for the Adirondack Mountain Club when I was 15, doing trail work. We worked with simple hand tools and native materials.

building. At historic sites, you’re there to experience the historic relevance, rather than natural beauty. We’ve also designed trails at Fort Montgomery State Historic Site, which is a Revolutionary War site. We work mostly in the Northeast, concentrated in New York State, although we have also worked as far away as the Virgin Islands. Why did you name your company Tahawus Trails? I founded the company while I was working in the Adirondacks. At the time, I thought our business would be based there. Tahawus is an Iroquois word that means "Cloudsplitter." It was the name used by European settlers of the Adirondacks for the highest mountain in New York (which was later officially named Mount Marcy, after the 19th-century governor who commissioned a survey of the High Peaks).

I started working on more complicated projects and my clientele grew. How do you start a project? Normally it takes a lot of time in the field. We look at every inch of the available terrain and start ruling out constraints, where it doesn’t make sense to put a trail, perhaps because there are sensitivities. We also look at opportunities, at places that are really interesting; those that are ideal for building is a secondary factor. We seek

Every trail has a unique challenge, so I started to seek out techniques from other trades, whether it’s rigging from sailors or from the stone-quarry industries. to highlight the uniqueness of a property. Maybe you want to get to the top of a cliff or to a waterfall, or just take a walk in the woods. We build experiences for the user. What are some of the challenges? It’s an art and a science. It’s done differently now than in the past: Older trails were about getting as quickly as possible from Point A to Point B. That approach led to a host of problems. It often created a lot of erosion and degradation of the trail. The science of designing a trail is to try to minimize erosion and trail degradation. Particularly in the Adirondacks and Catskills, there are steeper trails, and people are looking to get quickly up the mountain. To make those trails sustainable, we have to harden it with stone steps and ladders.

Thanks to climate change, we’re having more intense rainstorms than in the past. How are you accommodating the

heavier runoff ? It used to be, with a skilled eye, you could easily identify the highwater mark, but with the new weather patterns, you can’t look at the landscape and determine what a ten-inch rainstorm in half a day will do to the site; it’s much less predictable. We’re designing for bigger water flows now, particularly around bridge and stream crossings. On the trails themselves, we’re thinking about hardening the surfaces differently than in the past, to get the water to flow across the trail and create a greater slope side to side so water can move quickly off the trail, or stone armoring or paving. We want the water to flow over the trail without damaging it. That relates to the science of trail-building. What about the art? What do you look for in designing a new trail? Obviously, the big discoveries have been made. There are no more secret amazing waterfalls. We try to provide an experience for people to see something they wouldn’t have noticed otherwise. We’ve done a lot of work so that they can make discoveries. At Stony Kill Falls, for example, it’s 1,000 feet to get from the parking lot to the waterfall, and we designed the trail to wrap around certain rocks. We’d like to think we’re letting the user make new discoveries, so that they might think they saw a particular rock for the first time. We try to give people that kind of surprise.

push them off the edge, but we wanted to get the construction done with very low impact [to the land], so we used rigging systems to move them. Do you still primarily use hand tools? If we can build with small, appropriately sized equipment, we’ll do that, provided it doesn’t have a negative impact on the land. We’re working with wood, stone and earth. We have an eye for the material, and what we don’t know how to do, we learn from others. We do bring specialists in occasionally, especially engineers. Local natural materials are also desired, and we’re going to use the materials most appropriate for a particular site. For example, we’re not going to bring bluestone from the Binghamton area to the Adirondacks [which has a completely different kind of stone].

What’s the season for building trails? March to Thanksgiving, though we try to work year-round. In winter we do migrate south. In the Virgin Islands we worked on a project for a private landowner. There were logistical problems, in that everything gets shipped in: all equipment, tools and materials. Most of us live in the Hudson Valley, and when we have the opportunity to work close to home, we really are proud of those opportunities and enjoy them. Trails we have connections to are our favorites. – Lynn Woods

You also built rustic, Adirondack-style gazebos in Minnewaska and Roxbury. We built those out of black locust and red cedar, which are very durable, natural and local species.

Your firm offers many skills, including building bridges, stairways, boardwalks and kiosks. How did you learn all this? Every trail has a unique challenge, so I started to seek out techniques from other trades, whether it’s rigging from sailors or from the stone-quarrying industries. What did you have to learn rigging for? One of the biggest challenges in trail work is moving materials. Two years ago, when we did the Stony Kill Falls trail at Minnewaska, two- to three-ton stones had to be moved from the top of the cliff to the bottom. The easy way to do it would be to

Do you still do work in the Adirondacks? Yes, we’re currently relocating some of the popular trails in the High Peaks. It’s an interesting challenge, where the goal is to keep the wilderness wild. It’s different at a place like Bear Mountain, where close to half a million people are using the Appalachian Trail [each year]. In the Adirondacks, masses of people are using the trails for a wilderness experience, and the trail has to be rugged. You don’t want a formal stairway. We’re entering into contract this year with the New York State Department of Conservation to work primarily on Cascade Mountain, which is the most-hiked trail in the High Peaks. We’re identifying the location of a new trail.

A legacy of land OSI: Saving landscapes, building trails in Ulster County

hile new development and sprawl encroach on the counties to the south of us, in Ulster County it’s trails rather than highways that are getting built. Despite being less than 100 miles from one of the world’s largest metropolises, Ulster County is still pretty bucolic, as if it had been bewitched. But it’s the vision and hard work of several not-for-profit environmental organizations, not a magic wand, that’s increasingly ensuring the county’s future as a rural haven, thanks to the ever-expanding network of rail trails and preserved woodlands and fields. The Open Space Institute (OSI) is one of the major players in land conservation and trail restoration and construction. OSI is active in 20 states along the Eastern Seaboard, from Florida to Canada, but its roots are here: It was launched in the Hudson Highlands in 1974. OSI was instrumental in protecting hundreds of acres in the Shawangunks from a proposed Marriott hotel and housing development, and much of its energies remain focused in the region. “We started as a local grassroots land preservation organization and developed a model of working with state agencies,” said Eileen Larrabee, OSI’s vice president of communications. “Most recently, we embraced the public-access component. Ultimately, our mission is to convey to the public the value of land protection. Land conservation strengthens communities; economic activity and flood prevention go with it. Access is free, and we want the land to be welcoming so that people have a great experience. We want to build the next generation of land stewards.” “We are in essence like the Central Park Conservancy, in that we raise private money and sometimes can move faster in the bid process than the state can, especially if we are doing improvements on land we own,” said OSI president and CEO Kim Elliman. OSI raised $1.5 million to purchase the Rosendale Trestle in 2009 and transform it into a vital link in the 11.5-mile segment between New Paltz and Kingston, part of the 24-mile Wallkill Valley Rail Trail extending to Gardiner. It also recently acquired stretches of the 29-mile O&W Rail Trail in Wawarsing. When fully developed, these two trails will enable bicyclists and hikers to traverse the county from Ellenville to Kingston and east to Walkway over the Hudson. OSI also has made two land purchases. “Quite often, we acquire properties on the perimeter or boundary of state land, or the property might be surrounded by state land,” said Elliman. One parcel is within the Bluestone Wild Forest and the other is South Mountain, which is adjacent to the Sundown Wild Forest in the Catskill Forest Preserve. Eventually OSI will transfer ownership of both acquisitions to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), which owns both preserves.

GREG MILLER | OPEN SPACE INSTITUTE

At Minnewaska State Park, the Open Space Institute is leading efforts to protect and restore the park’s historic carriage road network. They have already completed the restoration of the Hamilton Point (shown above), Castle Point, a portion of Awosting Lake, and a portion of the Old Smiley and High Point Carriage Roads.

GREG MILLER | OPEN SPACE INSTITUTE

The Open Space Institute acquired land in February that will link two previously unconnected sections of the Catskill Park’s Bluestone Wild Forest: Jockey Hill to the east and Onteora Lake (shown above) to the west.

Bluestone Wild Forest, South Mountain and River-to-Ridge Trail In the case of the 208-acre property adjacent to the Bluestone Wild Forest, “The DEC identified this project as a priority,” said Larrabee. “Our contribution is making these projects happen, and then we hold on to the land, sometimes for years. Sometimes we’ll make improvements before transferring the land to the state.” Purchased for $650,000 from the Aldulaimi family, the parcel will connect Jockey Hill and Onteora Lake and encompasses the northern portion of Pickerel Pond. OSI is currently working with the Woodstock Land Conservancy, which will help manage the property, to raise $200,000 to $250,000 to extend and connect the existing trails through the new property and construct a small parking lot, trailhead and signage kiosk off Morey Hill Road. There are also plans to build a new six-mile loop. Onteora Lake has become increasingly popular as a place to swim, canoe, fish and kayak, with the parking lot frequently overflowing in summer and early fall. Rather than just build a bigger parking

lot, which would attract even more cars, OSI “tries to create more points of access, so we don’t burden any one spot,” said Elliman. In the Bluestone Wild Forest, “We are working with a bike trail group and really depend on them to do that sort of analysis,” as well as for other aspects, such as signage, he said. South Mountain was purchased for $665,000 from Dr. Sam and Delia Adams, whose family had owned the land since the Hardenbergh Patent of the 1700s. Located in the Town of Olive near Route 28A in West Shokan, the 261-acre parcel will be preserved to help protect the Ashokan Reservoir watershed, as well as the mountain views. There are no plans currently to construct trails on the property. OSI also acquired 214 acres on the north side of the mountain

two years ago, as part of its consolidation of wild lands in the Catskill Park, and it funded the engineering and feasibility study for the Ashokan Rail Trail. Another one of OSI’s recent projects is the River-to-Ridge Trail, a six-mile loop passing through gorgeous farmland that connects the Village of New Paltz and the shoreline of the Wallkill River to the foothills of the Shawangunks, where it will eventually connect to the carriage roads of the Mohonk Preserve. The trail consists of a ten-footwide pedestrian and bike road of crushed stone, which meanders along the river before turning inland over farmland to the forested ridge. It begins off a village sidewalk on Route 299, with parking available off Springtown Road.

“We want the land to be welcoming so that people have a great experience. We want to build the next generation of land stewards.”

NIGHT SKY

Making sense of that black hole

t’s really not the way it seems. The news captions were misleading. In truth, that wasn’t a photo of a black hole. Nor was it the first ironclad proof that they exist. And it didn’t finally prove that Einstein was right. But the world loved it and the media went crazy. And behind it lay amazing science and head-spinning technology. Where to begin? The New York Times ran a long article written by former Woodstocker Dennis Overbye, whose prose was poetic but whose descriptions of the image were skeletal. So, let’s begin with what we were seeing. It was not a photograph of a black hole, taken by some super-telescope. It was an artificially created image assembled from reams of mathematical data attained by the process of interferometry. That’s when several radio telescopes – eight, in this case – stare at a single place at the same time so that their data can be carefully spliced together to yield information that no single telescope could obtain. That info is then assembled to construct a falsecolor image. Long-baseline interferometry is what produced the first solid information about the size of the star Betelgeuse three decades ago. Though the largestappearing star in the sky, it’s 640-lightyear distance means that it’s just a point of light in even the largest telescope. But interferometry data revealed its true apparent size, which led to that team releasing an “image” (a visual simulation) of a small orange sphere. This black hole lies 100,000 times farther away, in the heart of the famous giant elliptical galaxy M87. It lurks 55 million light-years behind the stars of Virgo. The interferometry data were able to show a sort of shadow in the radio waves emanating from objects behind the black hole. This round shadow, ten times larger than the black hole (meaning its event horizon), is what is depicted in this image. So the blackness is not the edge, surface or tunnel entrance of some black object. Incidentally, over the past 35 years, visitors to our Overlook Observatory have been shown the same black hole – or, to be more specific, the amazing violent blue jet of material hurled away from the west side of this black hole, at the heart of M87. It’s an amazing sight in large backyard or observatory telescopes.

In truth, that wasn’t a photo of a black hole. Nor was it the ﬁrst ironclad proof that they exist. And it didn’t ﬁnally prove that Einstein was right.

In an unusual arrangement, OSI permanently owns the 400 acres of farmland, which it leases out to farmers “to preserve the look and feel and heritage of the area,” according to Larrabee. “People pass hayfields and even a herd of cattle on the trail. It’s a great way to directly connect people to the land.” The amazing generosity of Gilbert Butler The River-to-Ridge Trail, including the land acquisition, was made possible by funding from the Butler Conservation Fund. “These trails are very expensive,” said Elliman, who serves as vice-chair of the fund. “A riverside trail a mile-and-a-quarter long costs a million three” (a “well-drained flat stretch” would cost less). The first segment of trail, which was begun three years ago, has been so popular that OSI decided to add the additional loop, which will be completed this summer, Elliman said. The Butler Conservation Fund has donated more than $41 million to environmental programs located in the US, Canada, East Africa and Patagonia, besides the Gunks and western Adirondacks. Gilbert Butler, who grew up in the rugged Tug Hill region just west of the Adirondacks, attended Harvard and Columbia Business School and served as vice president of the Trust and Investment Division of Morgan Guaranty Trust Company before co-founding the Butler Capital Corp., a private equity firm that later became the Black River Management Company. It had a subscribed capital of more than $1 billion in 2005, when Butler began to wind it down to focus on environmental philanthropy and started the Conservation Fund. His appreciation for nature dates back to his childhood, and he is an accomplished outdoorsman whose pursuits include kayaking, crosscountry skiing, mountain biking and

mountaineering. Resurrecting Old Smiley Road and building Minnewaska visitor center The Shawangunks are “one of OSI’s legacy landscapes,” said Larrabee. “It’s a priority.” The Butler Conservation Fund has also donated money for OSI’s restoration of 12 miles of carriage roads at the Minnewaska State Park Preserve, part of a 100-mile network extending into the adjoining Mohonk Preserve. The “broken-stones” technique first used to construct the paths back in the late 1800s is based on a tradition extending back to the ancient Romans. Peter Karis, OSI’s capital projects manager, described it: The biggest rocks are laid down on the bottom layer of the roadbed for structure, with smaller stones laid down in the middle course for “shaping.” The final, top layer consists of a very fine gravel, which sheds water and hence is used to control drainage. Roads that were designed to accommodate horse hooves and carriage wheels in both their surface materials and gentle grades are perfectly suited for foot traffic, bikes and cross-country skis, said Karis. He noted that these broken-stone roads in the Gunks were the model for the roads built in Acadia National Park. Besides restoring the existing roads, OSI will resurrect the Old Smiley Carriage Road, which was built 80 or so years ago to bring travelers disembarking from the O&W train station at Ellenville up to the hotels on the lake at Minnewaska. The restored path will connect Ellenville to High Point, and from there to Lake

Black holes are not even holes, but the exact opposite: places of unimaginable superpacked density.

As for the claim that it was the first proof of black holes, that’s just plain silly. More than 30 years ago, on this very page, we talked about Cygnus X-1: the black hole that sits near the star Deneb in the summer sky. For all the reasons we outlined then, the fact that Cygnus X-1 is a black hole was absolutely clinched. Since the ’70s, no astronomer has regarded them as merely theoretical. But false claims and confusion are nobody’s fault, since basic facts about black holes remain puzzling even to astrophysicists. They’re not even holes, but the exact opposite: places of unimaginable super-packed density. And although the image showed a black blob of a particular size, an actual black hole has no size. Physicists are unsure whether they have all collapsed into specks that occupy zero volume and thus vanish from our universe altogether (a process that would take infinitely long to any outside observer such as ourselves), or whether some unknown process stops the collapse at some point. The public imagines them gobbling up stars and planets. But their gravity is actually no different from other similar-mass objects at the same distance. If our Sun collapsed to become a black hole, we’d continue orbiting just as before. We wouldn’t get pulled in. We wouldn’t even be tugged with the slightest increased “pull.” As to what it’s like in a black hole…our entire universe is almost certainly a black hole, meaning that no amount of speed could let you escape from it. So if you’ve wondered what the inside of a black hole looks like, just take a peek into your underwear drawer. – Bob Berman Want to know more?

Maratanza at Sam’s Point, as well as to Lake Awosting, in the other direction. Karis said that the work should be done by 2021. OSI is raising money for a new visitors’ center at Minnewaska, which is also getting donations from the Butler Conservation Fund. Right now, “When you get to Lake Minnewaska and arrive at the parking lot, there’s nothing that greets you and shows you the way,” said Larrabee. The new center will be “a jumping-off point” that not only has bathrooms and fresh water, but also maps and a park staff person to advise visitors of the highlights. Ground will be broken for the building this summer, with the opening expected in the fall of 2020. The state is installing a new septic system, burying utility lines underground and making improvements to the parking lot that will make the area much more

attractive, she said. The entire project is budgeted at $10 million, which is equally divided between the state and OSI. To date OSI has raised $3 million. “The natural resources in Ulster County are still pristine,” Elliman said. “Hopefully we can protect them before there’s too much upward land value. You’re protecting water resources in particular, if you build trails with less erosion and less siltation. And as studies show, the closer people live to parks, the better the quality of life.” – Lynn Woods

Local history stroll with Bill Brooks on Wallkill Valley Rail Trail Longer days of mid-spring mean more opportunities to take a nice walk after work, enjoying the “golden hour” when the low sun angles through the trees, burnishing all it touches. You can mix a bit of that magic with some mental as well as physical exercise on Wednesday, April 24 on the Rosendale portion of the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail. Rosendale’s town historian, Bill Brooks, will be your guide and storyteller as you stroll out from the Binnewater Kiln Parking Lot, passing remnants of the town’s colorful cement-mining past. This casual walk-and-talk meets at 6:15 p.m. Admission is free, but the organizers – the Rosendale Public Library and the the Wallkill Valley Land Trust – recommend that participants “Bring questions and curiosity.” An indoor history program will be offered at 7 p.m. at the Library, located at 264 Main Street (Route 213), if bad weather cancels the outing.

Garvan’s in New Paltz to host luncheon honoring Dr. A. J. Williams-Myers Ever since the phenomenal success in the 1970s of Alex Haley’s novel Roots and its TV adaptation, casual use of the term griot to characterize any master of a cultural tradition has become a rather sloppy custom. In West Africa, a griot – a/k/a jali or djeli – is a person whose life is dedicated to the preservation of history and lore and the dissemination of news, typically accompanied by musical performance. But you can’t just learn to play the kora, memorize a bunch of storysongs and call yourself a griot; you

have to be born into a particular family lineage. In describing his own role in life, Dr. A. J. Williams-Myers, professor emeritus of Black Studies at SUNY-New Paltz, prefers the much-less-pretentious term fundi. In the Bantu family of African languages, a fundi can signify a learned person, artisan, expert or genius: someone who has mastered an area of endeavor fully enough to pass it on to others. It can also simply mean that you’re a mechanic. As long as you’re knowledgeable and exceptionally good at your craft, it doesn’t matter if it’s blue-collar or white-collar work; you still get respect. The Yiddish term maven would be a close equivalent. If you’ve attended any event in the Hudson Valley in recent decades involving African-American history, you’ve undoubtedly heard Dr. WilliamsMyers speak, in full fundi mode. Not only was he one of the primary moving forces in the Black Studies Department for decades (and its longtime chair), he is also the former director of the New York African American Institute, a member of the New York State Freedom Trail Commission, historian for the African Burial Ground Interpretive Center in New York City and a much-published historian. Among his most notable writings are Destructive Impulses: An Examination of an American Secret in Race Relations; Long Hammering: Essays on an African American Presence in the Hudson Valley to the 20th Century; On the Morning Tide: African Americans, History and Methodology in the Historical Ebb and Flow of Hudson River Society – Guide to the Survey of Historic Resources Associated with African Americans in New York State; and New York City, African Americans and Selective Memory: An Historiographical Assessment of Black Presence Before 1877. Though still very much an active presence, Dr. Williams-Myers is retired from SUNY now, reaching the point in a long, remarkable career when things like the new African Roots Center in Kingston are being named after him. He’ll be the honoree at a fundraiser benefiting the Center’s Library to be held on Saturday, May 4 at Garvan’s in New Paltz – an event titled “Celebrate Dr. A. J. WilliamsMyers’ Career and Contributions to Our Community and Beyond.” The afternoon includes a buffet lunch and testimonials by distinguished guests. There will be music and a 50/50 raffle to raise funds for the Library. The event goes on from 1 to 4 p.m. Tickets cost $50 per person and can be purchased online at http://africanrootslibrary.org or by sending a check to A. J.

MOONLIGHT WALK AT SLABSIDES IN WEST PARK “From what fact or event shall one really date the beginning of spring? The little piping frogs usually furnish a good starting-point.” – John Burroughs, “A Spring Relish,” Signs and Seasons, 1886

ick off the Earth Day weekend with a moonlight walk on Friday, April 19 from 8 until approximately 10 p.m. and experience the evening magic of the John Burroughs Nature Sanctuary in West Park. Led by Shari Aber of the Adirondack Mountain Club and Catskill 3500 Club, and a Black Creek neighbor, the group will follow safe wide paths and make their way towards Chodikee Lake. Spring peepers, waterfalls and rustlings. What will the moon reveal? This is a must-register event, limited to 15 participants. Register by e-mail at info@johnburroughsassociation.org. The moonlight walk is a special opportunity but is weather-dependent. The lunar hike leaders will confirm the weather and let you know where to meet and what to bring. If diurnal activity is more to your liking, report for trail duty at Slabsides’ annual Spring Trail Day the following morning, April 20. Celebrate Earth Day on Saturday by spiffing up the trails to get them ready for the season. Meet at 9 a.m. at the Slabsides entrance on Burroughs Drive and stay as long as you are able. For those who can work into the afternoon, pack a lunch and the group will find a nice spot to picnic. Bring water and work gloves; clippers and a metal rake would also help. For those who would like to pitch in in front of Slabsides, bring tall waterproof boots. If you are on the tree crew, bring your chainsaw and safety equipment. Sign up by e-mailing joan@johnburroughsassociation.org. The John Burroughs Association brings to life the legacy, writing and natural world of literary naturalist John Burroughs. Visit his rustic cabin Slabsides and hike the trails of the John Burroughs Nature Sanctuary, located on Burroughs Drive in West Park. For more information, visit www.johnburroughsassociation. org.

MOVIE

WALT DISNEY PICTURES

Perhaps the weirdest concept to contemplate about the new Dumbo is the fact that it’s a Tim Burton product.

White elephant Disappointing Dumbo never gets off the ground

he House of Mouse plods on with its master plan to make live-action versions of its storehouse of classic animated features from the Golden Age of the Disney Studios: a series that has seen mixed success so far, partly because the combination of live human actors and a stillheavy reliance on animation – via CGI this time – inevitably leads the audience into the Uncanny Valley. Technical leaps have been ironing out some of the creepiness factor in recent years, but many viewers will still prefer their animated films to be strictly animated. For the purists, there’s a stop-motion feature about to hit the screens this week: Missing Link, the first new product from Laika since the studio’s exquisite Kubo and the Two Strings in 2016. But if you’ve got a mushy spot in your heart for anything Disney, you’ll be eager to overlook the strangeness of the live action/animation amalgamation that permeates its new remake of Dumbo, already in theaters. On the positive side, Dumbo redux eliminates the main element that makes its 1941 progenitor tough to watch in the present era: the chorus of crows who comment on the baby elephant’s plight, portrayed by mostly black performers

whose depictions are inescapably reminiscent of minstrel-show stereotypes. Jim Crow and his cohort are utterly gone in the remake. Unfortunately, that also means the loss of one of the better songs from the original, “When I See an Elephant Fly.” Another disturbing musical number, “Pink Elephants on Parade,” stayed in; but the pink elephants are giant bubbles created as part of a high-tech circus act rather than scary hallucinations induced by the innocent young pachyderm’s accidental ingestion of spilled champagne. Perhaps the weirdest concept to contemplate about the new Dumbo is the fact that it’s a Tim Burton product. It has its dark and somewhat scary moments, like the original, including the death of a cruel circus employee and a massive conflagration at the end, but it doesn’t have the twisted aesthetic that we normally associate with Burton. This is a movie to which you could bring even quite small children. In fact, quite small children are the optimal audience, because Ehren Kruger’s screenplay is too cheesy to satisfy any adult viewer with even modestly high expectations – Swiss cheesy, at that: full of plot holes and character motivations that make no sense. The dialogue is often dull and rambly, when we expect at least a scintilla of wit from Tim Burton. The movie’s pacing is noticeably uneven as well, featuring a long chase sequence where you can’t quite make out why the villain isn’t able to catch up to the fleeing

kids. It could have been edited a whole lot more tightly, and shortened by at least five minutes. By contrast, there are other long sequences that are stunningly orchestrated, visually speaking, to take advantage of the many possibilities of 3-D. I’m not talking about the showy flying and trapeze setpieces, but the gritty ordinariness of life in a traveling circus encampment circa 1919, as shown from giddy visual angles, such as a child’seye-view shot from between an ambling roustabout’s legs. Plunging depth-of-field is what it’s all about here. The production design, for my money, is Dumbo’s strongest suit. The director’s biggest creative investment seems to have been in the film’s period look, rather than its narrative. The first half is grounded very believably in its post-World War I setting, its glimpses of the American South by rail. And when the setting eventually switches to the “modern” theme park – an audaciously, deliciously sly portrayal of a proto-Disneyland in which Burton seems to nip at the hand that’s feeding him – the visual language translates into a gorgeous Art Deco/Dieselpunk hybrid that dazzles the eye. There’s some decent acting here, from the likes of Colin Farrell, Danny De Vito, Eva Green, Alan Arkin, DeObia Oparei and Roshan Seth. Michael Keaton seems lost, though, mugging his way through the villain role of a greedy theme-park developer who covets the flying baby elephant as a surefire attraction for his

own big top. Most of the time that he was onscreen, I found myself staring at his bad wig and waiting for his bit to be over. Other than the animated elephant’s big soulful eyes and cute tiny trunk, there’s not much here in the way of development to engage us with even the most sympathetic characters. The score by Burton regular Danny Elfman tries way too hard to fill the emotional gap; its bombast and excessive use of vowel choruses entirely failed to make this viewer’s stony heart soar. Put Dumbo down on your list of Disney cartoon features that didn’t really need to be remade – or at least, not in this way. If you’ve got some elementary-school-aged kids around, take them anyway; spring for the 3-D goggles and enjoy the empty spectacle as best you can. – Frances Marion Platt

Bruce Hornsby lit up the cash registers of the ‘80s with a series of agreeable singer/songwriter hits that hid a little bit of challenge under their graceful surface. The triple-threat pianist, songwriter and vocalist later went on to replace the late Brent Mydland in the Grateful Dead, demonstrating a willingness to get down with the Dead’s free-running electric counterpoint that might have surprised a lot of his FM fans. As with so many in this business, Hornsby has gone on to make some of his best records and write many of his best songs long after pop fashion turned the other way. His true fans know this well.

Newburgh schools’ Kristine CampbellDefoe to teach from New Zealand

Public school teachers often come up with creative ways to augment a district’s basic curriculum and broaden their students’ exposure. In Newburgh, where the districtwide motto is “We Are One,” a third-grade teacher with 21 years in the classroom is taking the message halfway around the globe in May. Kristine Campbell-Defoe has been invited to visit New Zealand next month, just in time to catch the end of autumn in that hemisphere. “It’s the trip of a lifetime. And I’m going to teach four days of lessons remotely to my class in

Newburgh.” The opportunity to bridge oceans in a cultural exchange came about when one of Campbell-Defoe’s students, third-grader Griffin Robinson, relocated to the island country with his family for the past six months. Griffin’s parents, Heather ChristyRobinson and Doug Robinson, have been longtime supporters of Newburgh schools. Heather has served as president of the PTA, and Doug, who is a professor at Mount St. Mary College, has brought some of his college students into the elementary school classroom for special presentations. Griffin’s siblings, Corbin and Malia, are former Balmville School students of Campbell-Defoe; so the week promises to be a reunion for both families, including her three teens, Allie, Liam and Gabriel Defoe. “We’re reaching out with this amazing opportunity,” says Campbell-Defoe. “I’ll be livestreaming by way of Google Meet, a new platform. Our school district is a Google district, and all the kids have Google accounts. Every kid has a laptop right now. The teachers, too, through a huge grant from Google. “Our fifth-graders are making a video for the New Zealand students, and our classes are making a quilt to bring over that highlights the history here. We’ll bring some of the richness of Newburgh to this beautiful place. We’re hoping it can promote peace. We’re also strangely connected by gun violence. If you’re local to Newburgh, you know the history here. In New Zealand, that horrific incident happened last month. “I feel like there’s a mission of connecting people around the world: We’re all the same. It’s good to know other cultures. It will be cool for the kids; I know they have recess on the beach there! It will be great for us to see how other people in different parts of the world go to school and spend their days.” Some of the teaching opportunities Campbell-Defoe has planned include a question-and-answer session with New Zealand’s Parliament members; a visit to Griffin’s elementary school in the town of Nelson; a field trip with ornithologist Doug Robinson, who is working to save native birds from an invasive weasel that’s killing kiwis and others; a tour of the Nelson Provincial Museum; and as much fun as the innovative teacher can generate. Her big hope is that prime minister Jacinda Ardern will be in

Wellington when they visit Parliament. “Our kids can livestream and ask questions: It will be 7 a.m. there on May 21 and 3 p.m. on May 20 here.” Campbell-Defoe’s adventure is set for May 18 through 27. She has mounted a GoFundMe campaign to help defray some of the travel costs, such as airfare, two nights of lodging in Wellington and ferry and airfare for the Robinson family, who’ll join her on their visit to Parliament.

Paramount

doesn’t understand why her life has been turned upside down- she’s now in a cage in a shelter. She’s a shy cat girl who needs someone who will love and care for her just like her mama did. LAURA; orange and white 10-month old teenage kitten girl, shy & very, very sweet. TIGER; very sweet 6-year old brown tabby cat girl who’d make a perfect addition to your loving family. LILY; 8-year old cat girl came in naked. She lost most of her fur due to a flea allergy. Hair has mostly grown back. Very sweet. Loves to cuddle. No other pets, please. ATHENA; 2-3 year old sweet, independent, affectionate, opinionated black & white cat girl. She was a wonderful mom & her kittens were all adopted. Now it’s her turn to be loved. LEXI; beautiful tiger cat girl w/a heart of gold! Lexi was adopted, but was bullied by the resident cat, and now finds herself back at the shelter. If you can give this 3-year old sweetheart the quiet, loving home she needs, she’ll thank you every day! DORIAN; shy, spayed, 2-3 year old female cat who just needs a quiet house to decompress & be loved. Dorian was a lonesome stray. CHARLOTTE; 6-7 yrs old. Pitty mix. Sweet. Loves people. She was an owner surrender. Low income & moved out of a bad situation into a rent assisted place. They had no choice. Charlotte is very stressed at the shelter (on meds and calming supplements but she’s still chewing on herself and the walls..turning in circles holding her tail). No other pets, please. SABRINA; 4-year old Hound mix girl. She’s very sweet & affectionate. Please- no cats. Dogs- males only & need a “meet & greet”. DEXTER; 8-year old Pit mix, is so stressed at the shelter. His caregivers, whom he loved dearly, surrendered him. If you’d like to adopt an older dog whose heart is broken, please visit Dexter at the shelter. Dexter needs to be your one and only; please- no children or other pets. Dexter wants to love again and to be loved. Please visit The Town of Saugerties Animal Shelter, 1765 Route 212 (behind the transfer station) to meet these beautiful beings or call (845)679-0339 to answer any questions you may have. Adopt an animal. They will thank you every day.
