CLUBBING

Metal bands aid Dakin Humane Society

I

USED TO PLAY A BIT of what was then known as “hard rock” back in the day in a few bands, but I was never a huge heavy metal fan.

But an upcoming show might increase my headbanging appreciation: On Aug. 16, American Legion Post 175 (The Tank) in Agawam will host “Heavy Pawz, Metal Pawz: A Benefit for Dakin Human Society.”

As a dog rescue guy myself, I love when musicians get together to help our four-legged friend (no matter what their species), so this show gets top billing in my book.

“We are doing it because we all love animals, and if you have ever gone in there and see the services they offer everyone and anyone regardless of financial ability, it is amazing – and more amazing is watching the poor people and some of the situations they have to deal with all the while being a volunteer,” promoter Louie Lurok Brault said.

The gig, which starts at 7 p.m., will feature (in order of appearance) Left Hand Backwards, Orbitus, Violence Frequency, Monochromatic Black, Echoes of Entropy, with Once Were Kings headlining the event. Donations will be accepted at the door (please be generous), and there will be two raffles with prizes, a regular raffle drawing and a 50-50 raffle.

Anyone interested in donating prizes or cash can email Brault at maddmuzik2000@ hotmail.com or get a hold of him at Madd Muzik Booking The band Left Hand Backwards will be on the line-up during on Facebook.

“Heavy Pawz, Metal Pawz: A Benefit for Dakin Humane SociThe Tank is at 478 Spring- ety” at American Legion Post 175 (The Tank) on Aug. 16. field St. (DAVID MOLNAR / THE REPUBLICAN) Scouting report • Luthier’s Co-op at 108 Cottage St. in Easthampton will be having a great fundraiser for the Old Town Hall on Aug. 18. Along with CitySpace, Luthier’s Co-op will be throwing a tequila party with its house spirit, Cabrito tequila. Funds will

ou don’t have to be a collector to attend the three-day East Coast Gem, Mineral & Fossil Show, which opens its doors tomorrow at the Eastern States Exposition grounds in West Springfield.

“We have a good mixture of folks who attend the show each year. Some are hardcore collectors, others who come to the show are retailer buyers who plan to resell what they purchase, then there are those who attend because they are simply interested in seeing the minerals on display and learning more about them,” said Regina Aumente, assistant show manager.

Still others have an entirely different reason for coming to the show.

“They are shoppers looking to add to their jewelry collections. We have vendors who

sell fantastic pieces of handmade jewelry that are reasonably priced and that you don’t see in an average store. What makes them extra special is that you are getting a one-ofa-kind piece, something that isn’t mass produced,” she added about the jewelry that ranges from valuable rubies and emeralds to those made from common polished quartz and agates.

The show brings together vendors, miners, artisans, and crafters from around the world, including Russia, China, India, Pakistan, Brazil, Morocco, Madagascar and

other distant lands. About 200 retail and wholesale vendors are on-site who sell mineral specimens, fossils, gemstones, beads, jewelry, meteorites from outer space, crystals, geodes, decorator items, and lapidary supplies and equipment.

While Aumente noted 90% of their booths are already sold by the end of each show to vendors who want to return the following year, there is always room for new dealers.

“We have at least a dozen new dealers this year. One of

them sells meteorites, and visitors will be able to see more of them than ever before at our show. Another dealer will be selling manmade, lab-grown quartz crystals, and that is something very different,” she said.

Some additional reasons to visit this weekend’s East Coast Gem, Mineral & Fossil Show include: • Special exhibit: This year’s featured exhibitor at the show isn’t a collector, but a museum. The New Mexico SEE GEM, PAGE E9

VIDEO GAME REVIEW

‘Wolfenstein: Youngblood’: All about your friends

By Christopher Byrd

Washington Post

The Best Bike Racks at the

Best Prices & Best Selection

• Rear • Roof • Hitch

3118082-01

In 2014, the Swedish development studio MachineGames pulled off one of the more distinguished revamps of this video game generation. “Wolfenstein: The New Order” injected fresh life into a series that kick-started the first-person shooter genre in the 1990s by combining the twitch combat that players expect with the kind of pensive writing one might find in a high-toned war movie. 2017’s wonderful “ Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus “ tweaked the formula by relaxing the difficulty curve of “The New Order” and doubling down on the narrative moments that provide excellent contrast to the Nazi-killing action which is a hallmark of the series.

Picking up 20 years after the events of the last game, “Wolfenstein: Youngblood” stars the twin daughters of the series hero, B.J. Blazkowicz, who take the fight against the Nazis to the streets of Paris.

A few cutscenes notwithstanding, “Youngblood” (which was co-developed by the French developer Arkane Studios) doesn’t have the number of arresting narratives as “The New Colossus.” But, in a series first, its campaign is organized around co-op gameplay. This addition, while diverting, is not particularly rousing. Like so many big budget video games it’s nothing more than a safe bet.

The game opens with a quiet and effective scene set near Mesquite, Texas, in 1979. It shows Blazkowicz and his wife, Anya, rigorously training their young adult daughters, Jess and Soph, in the art of combat. The parents’ concern for their children is obvious as is the siblings affection for each other. The scene then cuts to the following year where, in Paris, Jess and Soph meet up with members of the French resistance.

MIDDLEFIELD

Middlefield Fair keeps traditions alive Annual fair features livestock, agriculture, live entertainment, plus family fun

F

By Cori Urban

Special to the Republican

all has not even rolled around yet and it is already fair time in Massachusetts.

One of the first old-time country fairs to open its gates this season is the Middlefield Fair, which for three days beginning tomorrow, continues a longtime tradition dating back to 1856.

Back then it was called the Cattle Show when farmers showed off their prize-winning cattle and women filled the exhibit hall with their entries from baked goods to sewing and more, according to the event’s website. Today, the emphasis remains on livestock and agriculture, but the fair has also kept up with the times.

“We’re a small fair with a long history and lots of fun things to do for everyone, especially the kids,” said Erin Judge, secretary of the Highland Agricultural Society.

With everything happening at the fair, “it’s still definitely the truck pulls” that are the most popular with fairgoers, Judge noted.

Fortunately, any apprehensions I had were allayed after my friend and I decided to

The fair begins tomorrow evening with all the excitement and power of the Ken Boisseau Memorial Diesel Truck Pulls, followed on Saturday by gas powered trucks.

Also on Saturday there will be old-fashioned horse pulls in the animal arena. There is still more on Sunday with garden tractors in the mechanical pull arena and oxen in the animal arena.

“I think what makes the truck pulls so popular is that there are not a lot of people still raising draft horses and oxen. With trucks anyone with any old truck that they have put together with bits and pieces in their back yard can bring it to the fair and see if they can win. People love the bragging rights,” Judge said.

Live entertainment this year features musician Charlie Hunter on Saturday, the return of A Ray of Elvis on Sunday, magician Johnny Mystic on Saturday and Sunday, and Ben the Balloon Man tomorrow.

Keeping the livestock tradition alive, the fair will host a cattle show and a rabbit show on Sunday.

And, just like the old days, fairgoers will find the exhibitor’s hall full of entries from local hilltown residents – men, women and children – in categories such as baking, canning, vegetables, quilting, needle work and so much more.

No fair is worth its weight without some tasty treats, and the food booth will be serving up hot dogs and

hamburgers as well as “all the good stuff ” such as ice cream, corn dogs, french fries and those fried foods “everyone loves to eat,” Judge said.

“On Sunday morning we will have our popular pancake breakfast, and this year we are adding home fries to the menu,” she said.

Also, the Hinsdale Lions Club will serve dinners on Saturday and Sunday beginning at noon and running until late afternoon.

There will be free children’s activities throughout the fair and each day ends with a free The Middlefield Fair includes activities for all ages.

“We have a good mixture of folks who attend the show each year. Some are hardcore collectors, others who come to the show are retailer buyers who plan to resell what they purchase, then there are those who attend because they are simply interested in seeing the minerals on display and learning more about them.”

Bureau of Geology & Mineral Resources Mineral Museum will highlight the mineralogical diversity of the state in addition to fine specimens from around the world. Minerals on display from major New Mexico mining districts will include copper crystals and secondary copper minerals, zinc and skarn minerals, fluorites and pegmatite minerals.

New Mexico meteorites and petrified wood specimens will also be featured. Regional displays will also highlight minerals uniquely New Mexican, such as Pecos Valley diamonds and Carlsbad salt deposits that include blue halite and the world’s finest aphthitalite crystals. Other exhibits include uranium minerals from the San Juan basin and artifacts from the first atomic bomb explosion at the Trinity site. A case of world famous agates from the Deming area, as well as a selection of New Mexico lapidary art materials will be on display.

THE LION KING rrss (PG) Director Jon Favreau’s all-new “The Lion King” is a bland, unimaginative rehash of the animated feature. “The Lion King” is missing something. A purpose, maybe, and a heart. The life expectancy of Disney classics has begun to feel more like a hamster wheel than a circle of life, and it’s getting harder and harder to feel the love. (118

The two lead characters are Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio), former star of a western TV series, and his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt).

Both are struggling to make it in a Hollywood they don’t recognize anymore. Margot Robbie co-stars as doomed actress Sharon Tate.

ESTAURANT kitchens admittedly have an image problem. They’ve long been seen as less-than-desirable places to earn a living, and that bad rap is, for the most part, deserved. The back of the house in too many eateries is an emotional pressure cooker — relentlessly fast-paced, stressfully shortstaffed, and more often than not, a hotbed of psychological and even physical abuse.

Anyone who’s worked in the industry has heard their share of kitchen horror stories, and those who’ve pursued careers as kitchen professionals are likely to have their share of battle scars — relationship problems, health issues, and struggles with substance abuse.

In 2018, Unilever Food Solutions, a division of the global consumer products giant Unilever, organized an initiative to combat the workplace culture problems that have too long bedeviled the food service industry.

Christened #FairKitchens, the movement that Unilever promotes grew out of the experiences of Unilever’s corporate chef, Einav Gefen, as well as research on kitchen culture that Unilever sponsored.

The endeavor is designed to help professional kitchens attract and retain talent, a critical concern in an era when restaurants everywhere are struggling to “staff the line.” #FairKitchens cites some fearsome statistics to justify their efforts – one chef in four reports having suffered physical abuse on the job and over 63% report feeling depressed.

The focus of #FairKitchens is the creation of a positive kitchen culture by promoting five principles – talk openly, excite passion, act as one, make time, and say “good job.”

“Act as one,” for instance, emphasizes mutual respect without regard to ethnicity, gender, or lifestyle, while

Anchor House offers dining with a view

HE ENTERTAINment at Anchor House the night we dined was in the form of a large heron fishing around the picturesque dock on Nine Mile Pond, and we thoroughly enjoyed the show from our comfy booth inside the air conditioned restaurant.

Bread baskets are rarely noteworthy these days, and in this era of low-carb and gluten-free dining are often even absent unless requested. It is definitely worth an opening mention that at Anchor House a basket of freshly baked Italian bread was delivered to the table at the start of the meal, and was accompanied by both warm, soft butter and a ramekin of fresh tomato relish. We enjoyed the bread with both condiments, and although few foods surpass warm bread with butter we appreciated the care taken on the well-seasoned, perfectly diced tomato “bruschetta” topping.

The dinner menu has been scaled back from our last

visit but still includes some of the old favorites. In the Appetizers category the popular Grilled Lucifer Shrimp ($7.99) is now listed under ‘Shrimp Choices’ alongside Classic Shrimp Cocktail ($1.99 each) and Flash-Fried Buffalo Shrimp ($8.99). The term “flash-fried” makes a second appearance with Sicilian Calamari that pairs the squid with tomatoes, banana peppers, red onions, garlic and marinara ($8.99). The Crab Cakes we ordered round out the seafood-focused appetizer options.

For $9.99 we were delivered two large breaded crab patties that were fried to perfectly crispy on both sides and perched atop a small mound of undressed mesclun greens alongside a creative smear of chipotle aioli. We weren’t certain where the menu’s “citrus reduction” was intended to reside (maybe on the greens?), but nonetheless enjoyed the crisp, crab-forward cakes with the spicy mayonnaise.

Soups at Anchor House include mainly the classics:

New England Clam Chowder ($3.99), French Onion ($4.99) and Lobster Bisque ($6.99). The bisque we ordered came to the table piping hot in a shallow bowl with a chunk of lobster in the center so large it exceeded the depth of the soup and had to be cut up to share. We enjoyed not only the perfectly cooked tail meat but how the soup’s distinctive, sherry-forward flavor was balanced out by a steady backdrop of the

briny but sweet shellfish. The bisque was the perfect consistency — neither too thin nor too thick — a feat not as easy as one might suspect.

10 Muscadet Cru Communaux If you are looking for some of the best Muscadet wines, keep an eye out for Muscadets from these ten villages in the Loire Valley. Collectively, these villages are known as the Cru Communaux, which translates to communal vintage wines.

The ten Muscadet Cru Communaux villages are Champtoceaux, Chateau-Thebaud, Clisson, Gorges, Goulaine, La Haye-Fouassiere, Le Pallet, Monnieres-Saint Fiacres, Mouzillon-Tillieres and Vallet.

Below, you can find tasting notes for Muscadet wines from these 10 villages, along with three other Muscadet wines, including two wines under $9.

Let me add that I thoroughly enjoyed every wine recommended this week. So make sure to make room for Muscadet wine in your refrigerator or wine rack.

2014 Domaine De La Grenaudiere Clisson Muscadet: The first three wines on this list from the village of Clisson have a sharp, lively, lemon-like flavor. This first one in particular has a lot of beautiful flavors, thanks to being matured on lees for 50 months.

2014 Vignoble Maillard Clisson Muscadet: This light, bright Muscadet has a slightly lighter finish compared to the two other wines from Clisson. Pleasant, dry Wine tasting notes and refreshing.

What do you look for in a beer venue?

T

HE GOOD FOLKS over at Mass Brew Bros recently did an interesting survey about

craft beer and one question in Question 4 on the survey particular caught my attention: asked people to tick off boxes what beer lovers look for in a about what is important about good beer venue. a brewery they visit. There were eight different choices, and you could check off as many boxes as you’d like.

The eight choices were: 1) the beer is great; 2) there are at least six different offerings available; 3) there are at least six different styles available; 4) there are new offerings/styles available every week; 5) family-friendly; 6) dog friendly; 7) seasonal/outdoor drinking is available; 8) food – not just snacks – is available.

Of the 657 responses. Almost 90% chose the option of the Tuesday-Saturday • Exclusions apply beer being great as one of their *Not to be combined with any other discount. Alcohol excluded. choices. This was the clear leader by a mile.

at least six different offerings available” at 33% and “having food available” at just over 30%.

“Having new styles or offerings each week” came in at 29%, followed by having the place be family-friendly at 27%. Having six different styles available trailed a bit at 23% and not surprisingly (although disappointing to me), dog-friendly only came in at 17% Just for the fun of it, I thought I’d give my take on each one of them and put them in order of importance for me: Although I’d love to put dog-friendly at the top of the list, that’s just a personal bias of mine. I am going to try not to let that influence my answer here. So let me say that the most important factor to me is in line with the poll: having great beer is clearly the most crucial aspect. How could it not be?

Second on my list would be having at least six offerings,

but I have to admit that as long as the venue had one beer I loved, I wouldn’t complain.

After that, there is somewhat of a steep drop-off as far as things I actually care about, so out of loyalty to my dog TJ and canines everywhere, I’m going to list dog-friendly. I personally think dogs should be allowed in any bar – and most establishments. (I guess I get the restriction on places that are restaurants, but frankly a lot of dogs are cleaner and more well-behaved than a lot of people.)

Next on the list and only of moderate importance to me is having six different styles available. I think diversity is a good thing and not everyone likes the same type of beer.

Coming in fifth place on my personal list would be outdoor seating. This is an iffy choice, however, as it’s only realistic in my area during the summer, and often it’s too hot for me anyway. But I do like a great al

We appreciated both the quality and portioning of the dish that was truly a well-executed pasta dish for one and not the all too common gigantic, mediocre bowls of pasta of many an Italian dinner house.

The Dinner Entrees section of the menu features an abundance of seafood alongside two steaks. Sesame Ahi Tuna is a fusion cuisine outlier in the primarily Italian and American menu, with the sesame crusted yellow tuna served with saffron risotto, button mushrooms, fresh vegetables and teriyaki sauce for $19.99.

fresco beer-quaffing night.

Sixth place goes to having new offerings each week, but that really is of minimal importance to me. There is plenty of new beer out there overall and I don’t need to put the onus on one venue.

Rounding out the list is a last-place tie between having food and having the place be family-friendly. Food is fine but I don’t expect a beer place to feed me. And while I’m sympathetic to beer lovers with children, I don’t have them, so it’s not a personal issue with me.
