F

unny thing about “the classics” of literature: Everyone is assumed to have read them at some point, but fewer and fewer of us actually have firsthand exposure to them anymore. We borrow their archetypes based more on their endless reiterations and adaptations than on their original coinages. That’s how we get, for example, the common misconception that “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” is a supernatural horror story, rather than a droll tale of a stuffy, self-important fellow getting his comeuppance via a practical joke.

Louisa May Alcott’s 1868 novel Little Women has suffered a similar fate. Despite its having been put up on both the big and little screen countless times, you’d have difficulty finding a person of Gen X age or younger who has read the book. This is especially true for men, who are put

off by the inaccurate-but-popular notion that it’s an old-fashioned, sentimental book for girls: a category deemed even more dispensable than mere children’s literature.

To dismiss it so is nearly as silly as deeming the Oedipus plays or Death of a Salesman uninteresting because they derive their drama from family conflict in domestic settings. While nothing occurs in its narrative that would have been deemed “unsuitable” for young ladies to read about in the late 19th century, Little Women is a subversively feminist tract as surely as anything written by Jane Austen, couched in the polite language of their times. Without in any way devaluing hearth and home as both the forge and a microcosm of wider society, it forces readers to contemplate the socioeconomic realities that women faced back then, and to a certain extent still do.

With Father away serving as a chaplain in the Civil War for most of the story, the March household is a sort of collectively run mini-matriarchy, each of the four teenaged sisters expected to contribute in her own way – to society at large, as well as to the family’s meager income – but each also demanding her own opportunity to shine. Each has an artform in which she excels: Meg in theater, Jo in writing, Beth in music and Amy in painting. Marmee does not dominate, but rather sets a high behavioral bar through her relentless volunteer work on behalf of the less

Little Women is quite frankly a superb work of cinema, and will prove richly rewarding for male as well as female viewers.

fortunate, and is the glue that holds her spirited daughters together.

That doesn’t stop these girls of varied temperaments from squabbling, of course; sometimes, especially in the rivalry between Jo and Amy, extreme measures are taken.

But the dramatic resonance of this family dynamic is not that it’s dysfunctional; it’s that it ultimately works as a unit, despite all the conflict. When something bad happens to somebody, all put aside their grievances and pull together. Alcott herself being the offspring of a family of New England Transcendentalists who started a (not very successful) Utopian commune, there’s a message here of striving for the

NIGHT SKY

2020 vision

I

t seems that everyone is aware that the name of this year is also the term for sharp vision: 2020. Happily, the night’s very best eye test is available at nightfall right now, in early January. Go out at 5:30 any evening and look just slightly to the right of where the Sun set, until you see the brightest star. This is Vega, and it’s only about one-third of the way up the sky from the northwestern horizon. It’s not high up.

If you have binoculars, bring them along and point them to Vega. That instrument will easily bring out its bluish color, and will also show you a much dimmer star directly above Vega. This is Epsilon, the focus of this week’s column.

Through the binoculars, Epsilon will stand out as a beautiful double star. The question is whether you can see it as a double with just your naked eye – for this is the very finest test of vision in all the heavens.

I’ve been asking groups of people if they can see Epsilon as a double for a full halfcentury now. What I found is that only perhaps one adult in 50 can split it as a double star. But with groups of kids and teenagers, it’s more like one in every eight or ten can detect it.

It’s a tough test, because normal 20/20 vision will not quite split Epsilon. You need to have slightly better-than-normal vision – specifically, 20/15 vision. People with that degree of keen eyesight can read the ninth line in the standard Snellen eye chart. Does this include you?

This is the very finest test of vision in all the heavens.

commonweal that we don’t often see in the American literary tradition of rugged individualism.

Little Women doesn’t by any means shy away from the truth that girls and women in the 1860s had few choices in life beyond getting married and raising children. In fact, the economic constraint she feels is the central conflict confronting Jo, who stands in for the author. Even a loving family is a cage to such a rambunctiously creative personality. She doesn’t really want to marry at all, and in particular, she doesn’t want to marry her best friend Laurie, the rich, handsome and selfindulgent boy next door. Many a starryeyed 12-year-old’s heart has broken slightly upon reading the passage where Jo turns Laurie down.

Despite flouting many of the conventions of writings by women of the day, Little Women became an immediate best-seller and has never subsequently gone out of print. Who would’ve thought that yet another screen adaptation was necessary? Why, Greta Gerwig did, and today’s audiences owe her thanks. The new version currently in theaters, for which Gerwig served as both screenwriter and director, is quite frankly a superb work of cinema, and will prove richly rewarding for male as well as female viewers.

For this project, Gerwig blurs the lines between the real-life Alcotts and the fictional Marches, and boldly interweaves the timelines of the family’s fortunes through seamlessly executed flashbacks.

She also brought together several of the stars of her much-praised 2017 feature directing debut, Lady Bird. There’s an early scene in which Saoirse Ronan as Jo is standing next to a lit hearth, too distracted by her reading to notice that her hem is smoldering. When someone points out, “You’re on fire,” it’s meant literally, but it works on a meta-level as well. Ronan brings to this iconic character all the ferocity and confusion, longing and disappointment and commitment that we need to see in her. Timothée Chalamet

is likewise perfectly cast as Laurie, and under Gerwig’s direction, fully embodies both the lovable and contemptible aspects of the character.

Laura Dern does wonders with a slightly underwritten Marmee (check out Sarah Blackwood’s excellent essay in the current issue of the New Yorker about the importance of the character’s bottled rage, channeled into social activism, at https://bit.ly/2u2NSXX).

Meryl Streep chews her gilded furniture gleefully as cranky, disapproving, wealthy Aunt March. Emma Watson and Eliza Scanlen both do fine work as Meg and Beth. But the breakout performance here is Florence Pugh as spoiled, spiteful Amy, long viewed as the least likable of the March sisters. Gerwig orchestrates her arc, and Pugh embodies it, in a way that makes Amy’s resentment of her elder siblings comprehensible. The choices she makes may be less lofty, but we are allowed to appreciate the thought process that leads her to them, and even to see a little wisdom in it, as Jo herself acknowledges in the end.

All four young actresses manage to sound consistently American, if not quite Yankee, despite the fact that Ronan is Irish, Watson and Pugh English and Scanlen Australian. This adds an extra dimension of fun to a scene in which the March sisters are all dressed as Victorian gentlemen and affecting posh British accents for one of Jo’s theatricals in the attic.

Suddenly Last Summer

WILLIAM CRESWELL

Find out the next clear night. Again, simply look at the direction of sunset at 5:30 p.m. The brightest star just to the right of where the Sun set is Vega. The little star just above Vega is Epsilon. If you can see it as two little stars side-by-side, almost touching each other, then this year of 2020 has your name on it.

This Little Women is gorgeously framed, lit and photographed, the art direction nicely evocative of how a middle-class New England family fallen on difficult times might piece together a frayed-at-the-edges gentility. While far more privileged than the neighboring immigrant family to whom they donate their Christmas brunch, the Marches clearly don’t enjoy a secure existence, except insofar as they may rely on one another’s affections. It’s a glimpse into a parallel world that may feel unsettlingly familiar to viewers who know how it feels

to be always only one paycheck away from poverty.

If you were tempted to pigeonhole this movie as wholesome kiddie fare, a daytime TV weeper or a Masterpiece Theatre celebration of the upper crust, and thus easily dismissible, do not. Little Women is the sharpest, best-acted, most thought-provoking costume drama to hit the cinemas this year. With it, Greta Gerwig has fully established her place high in the firmament of dynamic young American directors.

Phoenicia Library hosts ukulele lesson & jam this Saturday

ALMANAC WEEKLY of factors: It is portable. It is relatively easy to learn out of the gate, but supports as much virtuosity as you care to achieve, as YouTube phenom Jake Shimabukuro has demonstrated beyond doubt. Uke tab is available for practically any standard you’d want to learn, and George Harrison loved the instrument. Furthermore, the current generation of non-electronic musicians seems far more interested in writing and performing their own songs than in shredding in all its forms. All these conditions have smiled on the humble ukulele.

In the ’80s, you’d be lucky to find one in a typical guitar store. Today, you will find all manner at all sizes and price points.

And as a small-bodied nylon-stringed instrument, cheap ukuleles sound nearly as good as the expensive ones: something that can never be said of guitars.

The Phoenicia Library hosts a free ukulele lesson and jam on the first Saturday of each month. It caters to beginners and to more advanced players.

Ukes are available to borrow.

TASTE

Sub-Continental All Stars Cinnamon Indian Cuisine in Rhinebeck

T

he clean-lined décor and neutral color scheme belie a riotous blast of tastes and aromas that awaits diners at Cinnamon Indian Cuisine in Rhinebeck. With a menu of traditional and modern dishes spanning the Indian subcontinent, Chaminda and Shiwanti Widyarathna have surprised and delighted fans of Indian food since opening in 2011 just south of town. Four years later, they moved into the village and have become busier than ever. “It’s been great being here so far,” says Shiwanti.

“Since moving to downtown Rhinebeck, the lunch has grown so much. Sometimes it’s hard to get into the restaurant! We also have a private dining space upstairs for parties, dinners and meetings.”

Dubbed the Spice Room, this upstairs lounge is open to the public from 4 p.m. to midnight Thursday through Saturday, unless otherwise booked. In addition to serving artisan beers from New York State craft breweries and wines from all over the world, they’ve created special house cocktails inspired by flavors of their homeland to wow the palate. The brunch, lunch and dinner menus present an array of dishes that will challenge even one who’s already fluent in the genre: dosas, gulab jamun, naan and chapatti, kebab, tikka masala, saag paneer, samosa, palak chaat, mapas, sali-boti, phaal, jhinga jalfrezi and of course, curry.

When asked about their background in the food industry, Shiwanti says, “My husband graduated as a pastry chef and worked in European countries and in

Dubai, and on a cruise ship. He got this interest from one of his friends who opened a restaurant. He learned to cook the basic foods from a well-known chef in South India. Then he worked at a restaurant in Connecticut for a few years.”

After they were married, Chaminda expressed more interest and curiosity about opening his own eatery. “I have a fashion marketing background, working for Tommy Hilfiger in India,” says Shiwanti. “I thought, ‘Why don’t we open one?’ We looked in Connecticut and couldn’t find a place we liked. Then a friend suggested that we come to Rhinebeck, where there had been an Indian restaurant that was now for rent.”

Shiwanti reports that they’ve gotten great feedback from the locals, and from people who come up to the Hudson Valley from the City as well. “We are very blessed in that way. When I come into the restaurant, I try to talk to each and every table before they leave – make sure they have a good experience. Most of the tables I go to, I really don’t have to fix anything. ‘It’s

better than New York City,’ people say.

“We serve all organic chicken and natural lamb. In the summer we support three or four local farms. The menus change seasonally a bit. Our lunch special menu we change every week. Indian dosa is very popular, so we’ll do one with salad topping and one with chickpeas and asparagus. We change the menu with the produce we get for the week.

“We get into every little detail. I’m personally into eating very healthy and getting as many things organic as possible.

What we want to do is get good ingredients and maintain a reasonable price – and make it accessible to any group of people. People appreciate that.”

Chaminda is from Sri Lanka and Shiwanti hails from the south of India. Heading a growing international team of cooks and servers, their focus is on making people feel comfortable and well-taken-care-of. They also do catering, so far producing fabulous meals for up to ten weddings a year. “We have a food truck that has a tandoori [a

Photograph of the Duck Pond Cabin, taken by Dan Smiley in 1929, just about when it was completed.

HISTORY

Secret in the stones Duck Pond Cabin foundation at Mohonk Preserve evokes era of hands- on learning

B

esides the abundant wonders of nature, among the many pleasures of exploring the Mohonk Preserve throughout the seasons is discovering the remnants of early human habitation. There are prehistoric rock shelters and hunting camps, remains of root cellars and livestock enclosures, natural stone walls marking boundaries and dividing pastureland, fragments of millstones that cracked and were abandoned in mid-manufacture, ruins of berrypickers’ dwellings in the Trapps Hamlet and beyond. The era and use of the rockpile you find is not always immediately apparent, however – even once you’re somewhat familiar with the history of Shawangunk settlements.

One intriguing site is a house foundation featuring a beautiful fieldstone chimney with elaborate multileveled hearths, visible only when the leaves fall, in the vicinity of Duck Pond. According to Paul Huth, director of research emeritus at the Preserve, Photo of the Duck Pond Cabin chimney and foundation today the building in question was a log cabin constructed in the 1920s that burned down in the 1960s.

The Duck Pond Cabin was one of at least half a dozen wooden huts built by students enrolled at the Mohonk School, a college preparatory institution for boys founded on the Mohonk Mountain House property by Mabel Craven Smiley in 1920.

The school relocated to Cragsmoor in 1958 and closed permanently in 1977. About 40 boys aged 10 and up attended the school at any given time, with five teachers.

Part of the Mohonk School’s mission was to “build strong rugged health into its students.” Accordingly, they were assigned to heavy physical tasks that included building log cabins from local materials at various sites on property belonging to the Mountain House or what is now the Mohonk Preserve. Among the students were Mabel’s two sons, Daniel and Keith Smiley, and Keith is known to have been among those who worked on the Duck Pond Cabin, completed in 1929.

The hut-building program was entirely phased out by the 1940s, and none of the wooden structures have survived. But you can still stop and admire a handsome foundation or chimney here and there.

Jan. 2, 2020

HISTORY Mind that cliff The brief reign of downhill skiing in the Shawangunks

T

he snow season in the Hudson Valley separates the Nordics from the Alpinists – quite literally and spatially. If you do downhill, you have plenty of options, once it’s cold enough for snowmaking.

Ski resorts in the Catskills, including Belleayre, Hunter and Windham, and in the Berkshires, such as Butternut, Catamount and Jiminy Peak, are not too far away for a day trip. If Mother Nature doesn’t oblige, they can generate their own snow cover.

Cross-country skiers face more of a challenge, especially in these times of global warming, when significant

Although the Gunks are known more for their abrupt drop-offs than for their slopes or their altitude, they did enjoy a brief heyday as a downhill destination. snowstorms are less frequent and often followed by lingering spells of abovefreezing weather. Local trails that, a few decades ago, were reliably snow-covered for much of the winter now rarely build up a deep enough base for the point of a pole to push off comfortably. Nordic fans need to look much further north – to Lapland Lake and Garnet Hill in the Adirondacks, or the minority of Vermont downhill ski areas that also offer cross-country – for anything resembling a guarantee of decent conditions, even in midwinter.

So, for XC skiers in the vicinity of the Shawangunk Ridge, it’s a compelling excuse to play hooky from work on those rare days each winter when conditions are just right to head out on the carriage trails with their stupendous cliff views, or the rail trails in the valleys below. Both the Mohonk Preserve and Minnewaska State Park Preserve provide regular grooming; there’s even a Mid-Hudson Valley Cross Country Ski listserv on Google Groups where fellow Nordics share daily updates on conditions.

Considering how ancient a sport – a means of transportation, really – skiing is in Scandinavia and Russia, it’s surprising to note how late it made inroads in the Hudson Valley. Interest in the sport was piqued among New Yorkers by the 1932 Olympics at Lake Placid, four years after a ski jump had been built at Bear Mountain, and construction of ski resorts began in earnest during that decade throughout the Northeast. The distinction between downhill and cross-country was less marked in those days of low-tech equipment. A group of Finnish and Norwegian expats in Rosendale formed a Telemark Ski Club in 1936, racing on level terrain at Williams Lake and building a ski jump at Mount Joppenbergh in Rosendale.

It was in 1933/34 that the Mohonk Mountain House, built in 1879, began hosting winter guests, and back-country skiing was one of the advertised attractions.

MOHONK MOUNTAIN HOUSE ARCHIVES

It was in 1933/34 that the Mohonk Mountain House, built in 1879, began hosting winter guests, and back-country skiing was one of the advertised attractions.

Ski Minne Alpine center at Minnewaska opened in 1964. Hikers can still see ruins of the infrastructure not far from the Peterskill Entrance to the state park. It featured a 1,500-foot T-bar and a J-bar, five intermediate trails and an on-site restaurant.

Visitors had to bring their own gear and break their own track. Skiing became part of the physical education curriculum for boys at the Mohonk School, which two of the younger generation of Smileys, Dan and Keith, attended. Their enthusiasm for the sport is credited with much of Mohonk’s increasing stature as a magnet for XC skiers in the ensuing decades. The family’s sister resort at Lake Minnewaska – sold off in 1955 to Ken Phillips, Sr. – didn’t get on the Nordic bandwagon until much later, in the early 1970s.

In the meantime, following the end of World War II, downhill skiing had become a much more popular American pastime.

Although the Gunks are known more for their abrupt drop-offs than for their slopes or their altitude – ranging only from 1,600 to 2,200 feet – they did enjoy a heyday, albeit brief, as a downhill destination. The

first commercial Alpine ski operation in Ulster County, the 11-acre Bonticou Ski Area, opened in 1964 on Mountain Rest Road in New Paltz, below the entrance to the Mohonk Mountain House. Featuring a modest 475 feet of vertical drop, it began operation with three rope tows and a T-bar.

The entire enterprise shut down in the early 1970s.

Ken Phillips jumped on the bandwagon by winterizing Cliff House and Wildmere at Lake Minnewaska and opening the Ski Minne Alpine center, also in 1964. Hikers can still see ruins of the infrastructure not far from the Peterskill Entrance to the state park. It featured a 1,500-foot T-bar and a J-bar, five intermediate trails and an on-site restaurant. As at the Bonticou Ski Area, there was a small snowmaking operation. A double chairlift was installed in the winter of 1971/72. But neither facility could long compete with the more impressive ski resorts that were booming nearby in the Catskills. Ski Minne shut down in 1978, and the restaurant was destroyed by fire three years later.

With the demise of Alpine skiing, the Gunks began their true heyday for Nordic skiers. The Mountain House acquired its first snow machine and grooming tools in 1978, not long after hiring its first cross-country ski pro. Beset by financial woes, Ken Phillips closed the Wildmere Hotel to overnight visitors in 1980, but his son Ken Jr. ran a ski rental operation out of a ground-floor drawing room.

Day visitors carbo-loaded at a snack bar and warmed their woolen-knicker-clad bottoms and softened their wax sticks by a woodstove. Wildmere burned down in 1986, and New York State acquired the Minnewaska property the following year.

Plans to build a Visitors’ Center alongside Lake Minnewaska, offering visitors running water and warm bathrooms for the first time in nearly four decades, were announced by Governor Cuomo in 2019.

Though they may lack the heartpounding downhill runs that excite the Alpine skier, both Minnewaska and Mohonk supply ample enjoyment to today’s Nordic adventurer, with terrain

and viewscapes as splendid as any to be found amidst the fjords and forests of Northern Europe. All they’re lacking is a winterlong supply of sufficient snow.
