he property that is now home to the 141-acre Rice Nature Preserve and its hiking trails produced bushels and bushels of fruit for three generations of the Rice family. Put this on your summer hiking calendar, because this hike is a peach. The preserve was acquired through the cooperative efforts of landowner Jesse L. Rice, the town of Wilbraham, the Minnechaug Land Trust and the commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Rice Nature Preserve includes 3.4 miles of well-maintained trails. And no spoiler
still lives within the Rice Nature Preserve. There’s a granite bench sitting at one of the highest points in the orchard that memorializes Jesse Rice and his wife, Winifred, who died in 2004. Jesse wanted his wife’s name listed first on the memorial bench, and so it is. The message on the stone is a quote from French writer Antonie de Saint Exupery, which reads “Love does not consist in gazing at each other, Wildflowers grow along the but in looking outward together trail in the Rice Nature Prein the same direction.” Few serve in Wilbraham. hikers can resist sitting on the (STEVE SMITH PHOTO) bench and gazing at a spectacalert needed here: The main ular view of the Connecticut trail includes a walk through a River Valley.

But there are boards covering some wet spots, so don’t let this rain on your parade. There are also some rocky areas at the beginning. Hiking shoes and a walking stick are advisable.

To continue to Sunrise Peak, veer down to the left of the bench, enter the woods and continue straight. After a quarter of a mile, you’ll see the sign for Sunrise Peak. Once there, you’ll have a great view of Monson, Hampden and beyond. The return is mostly downhill. You’ll pass the other granite bench at the lower end of the orchard. In memory of the Rice family, take a peach or an apple with you for the hike. For more information, go to wilbraham-ma.gov.

DVD RELEASES
Silent terror returns in ‘A Quiet Place Part II’ By Aaron Gilman
Tribune News Service
A scary sequel where the very last thing you want to do is scream tops the DVD releases for this week. “A Quiet Place Part II” picks up immediately after the events of the first film, while also providing a tantalizing glimpse of Day 1 when the monsters first arrived and ushered in humanity’s silent era. In the film’s present, the surviving members of the Abbott family must leave home and find new shelter from the deadly creatures with super hearing. Cillian Murphy, who joins the budding franchise in “Part II,” teams with Millicent Simmonds in an effort to end the existential threat posed by the creatures, while Emily Blunt and her other two children face their own dangers. John Krasinski returns as director (and also wrote the script), and though his character heroically died at the end of the first film, he reprises the role in a Day 1 flashback scene. “Krasinski’s sure-footed sequel (and, in the dynamite opening sequence, prequel) is everything you want a summer horror movie to be, made by a writer/director who is clearly both a fan and a student of scary movies,” writes critic Chris Hewitt in his review for the Star Tribune. “As Krasinski showed in the first “Quiet Place,” he’s not afraid to guide the story into a situation that seems impossible to get out of, only to find an ingenious way to do just that.”

MOVIES REVIEW
Matt Damon is a man on a mission in ‘Stillwater’ Thriller is uneven but surprising By Justin Chang
Los Angeles Times
At the beginning of “Stillwater,” Bill Baker (Matt Damon), an Oklahoma construction worker, stands amid the remnants of a house that’s recently been destroyed by a tornado. He’s dependably good at his job, even if it’s just a temporary gig, something to tide him over while he looks for a more permanent position on an oil rig. Money and work have been scarce for a while, and the tornado, without affecting him directly, puts a cruel accent on the litany of disasters — alcoholism, unemployment, family estrangement, a criminal record — that his life has become. He’s gotten used to combing through the wreckage; when he leaves town a few beats later, it’s clear he’s not leaving behind much. Although it draws its title from this Middle American city, most of Tom McCarthy’s methodical and surprising new drama takes place half a world away in the French port city of Marseille, where Bill finds himself on a curious and lonely assignment. He’s visiting his daughter, Allison (Abigail Breslin), who’s spent five years in prison for the murder of her girlfriend, Lena, whom she met while studying abroad in Marseille. The story was loosely inspired by events surrounding the 2007 killing of the British student Meredith Kercher, though McCarthy and his co-writers are not especially interested in a straightforward retelling of that tragedy. Allison, the movie’s Amanda Knox figure, has always maintained her innocence. With four years left to serve, she asks her father to contact her attorney (Anne Le Ny) with new evidence that might persuade the authorities to reopen her case. A teenager, Akim, has allegedly implicated himself

in a scrap of barroom hearsay, though it’s too flimsy a lead to persuade the attorney. But Bill, spying an opportunity to make up for his past negligence as a dad, stubbornly undertakes his own search for the elusive, possibly nonexistent Akim, all while navigating a city and a language that couldn’t feel more foreign. To him, anyway. Centering its protagonist’s stern, bearded frown in nearly every scene, “Stillwater” registers Bill’s cultural confusion without necessarily indulging it. Unveiled last week at the Cannes Film Festival, on the other side of France’s Mediterranean coast, the movie effectively merges the patient investigative rigor of McCarthy’s Oscar-winning newsroom drama “Spotlight” and the cross-cultural humanism of his earlier film “The Vis-
itor.” Put another way, it’s a somber crime thriller wrapped around a sly fish-out-of-water comedy, in which Bill is invariably the butt of the joke. Bill gets an “A” for effort, but the challenges of a murder investigation — tracing Instagram feeds, chasing down frightened witnesses — would prove daunting even to someone who knows the Marseille waterfront. Fortunately, Bill meets a friendly bilingual guide in Virginie (a terrific Camille Cottin), a theater actress who regards this Sooner State refugee with kindness, amusement and an almost sociological fascination: Does he own a gun? Did he vote for Trump? (The answers are worth hearing for yourself.) Virginie also has a winsome young daughter, Maya (Lilou Siauvaud), who naturally hits it off with Bill im-
mediately, raising the specter of a redemptive second shot at fatherhood. The mutually beneficial arrangement that follows — Virginie helps Bill with his search, Bill becomes her handyman and Maya’s babysitter — is one of those sentimental developments you grudgingly and then gladly accept, because the actors have such warm, involving chemistry and also because there’s something irresistible about the kindness of strangers. The best passages of “Stillwater” allow that kindness to flourish and take center frame, temporary liberating the movie from its dogged procedural template. McCarthy, a straightforward craftsman, has a gift for teasing out the humanity in every unshowy frame, and, working with cinematographer Masanobu Takayanagi and editor Tom McArdle, he nicely conveys the passage of time and the blooming of fresh emotional possibilities. Those possibilities become still more heartrending when Allison is allowed out on parole for a day, in scenes that Breslin plays with a wrenching mix of toughness, resignation and despair. Through her eyes, we see the Marseille that she fell in love with and briefly wonder if her crucible of suffering might also mark a potential new beginning. The filmmakers, of course, have chosen France’s oldest and most diverse city for a reason, given its longstanding reputation as a gritty hotbed of crime and poverty — a reputation that’s been partly fueled by the movies themselves, among them classic thrillers like “The French Connection” and “Army of Shadows” (and the recent “Transit,” a classic in the making). McCarthy has cited Marseille noir novels as an inspiration for his screenplay, which he wrote with Marcus Hinchey and the French writers Thomas Bidegain and Noe Debre, who were doubtless crucial in fleshing out a persuasively inhabited
street-level portrait of contemporary France. Notably, Bidegain and Debre have also fashioned “Stillwater” into a curious echo of their 2015 neo-Western, “Les Cowboys,” another father-daughter rescue story set at a Franco-American cultural crossroads.
‘STILLWATER’ Rated: R Running time: 140 min. Playing at: Cinemark Enfield, Hadley and West Springfield; Greenfield Garden Cinemas
In “Les Cowboys,” a white man is driven mad by the realization that his daughter has run off with her Muslim boyfriend. Although it’s cut from different genre cloth, “Stillwater” doesn’t have to dig too deep to uncover similarly ugly sentiments in Marseille as Bill’s search for an Arab suspect brings him face to face with all manner of casual anti-immigrant bigotry. Bill, it’s worth noting, comes off rather better by comparison: He seems appreciably less racist than some of the locals, and if this devout Christian has any negative thoughts about his daughter’s passionate romance with an Arab woman, he keeps them to himself. His mission here isn’t motivated by religion, politics or ideology, but by the simple desire to bring his daughter home. Nothing could be more primal or understandable. Our sympathetic identification with Bill, in other words, is the reason this movie exists. It’s also the reason a viewer might find “Stillwater” troubling as well as absorbing. This is the story, after all, of a white male American charging into a French Arab community (represented by fine actors including Moussa Maaskri, Nassiriat Mohamed and Idir Azougli) and running roughSEE ‘STILLWATER’, PAGE E12

Boston can carrier recycling program a success
I
JUST READ AN UPlifting article on ecofriendlybeer. com about how a pilot program for recycling plastic can carriers from the beer industry was completed successfully in Massachusetts. The eight-week program, conducted in the metro Boston area, saw nearly 20,000 plastic carriers turned in by consumers and breweries. The carriers have proved to be problematic for curbside recycling by the state, so the idea is to prevent the carriers from ending up in landfills or, worse, polluting the environment. I wrote about this initiative in April, mentioning the eye-opening statistic that at least 10 million new plastic beer can carriers are used annually by breweries in Massachusetts, with just 10% of them being collected and reused, and less than 2% of them ever getting recycled. Although most of these carriers are marked as “100% recyclable,” the state’s RecycleSmart website, an initiative of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), and its three largest waste disposal companies (Casella, Republic, and Waste Management) say that plastic carriers and six-pack rings pose problems for their sorting equipment. This means that despite labels and good intentions, these plastic holders still end up in landfills or, worse, incinerated. But this new initiative seems to be solving this problem by having environmentally conscientious beer drinkers return the carriers as they would do with bottles for deposit: return the carriers to (participating) breweries, who will then get them recycled or reused. (Note: there is no deposit money

involved here. You’re doing this to save the planet.) For example, according to the post on ecofriendlybeer. com, the pilot program saw about 8,000 (of the 20,000 carriers that were collected) donated to smaller Boston area breweries for reuse in packaging their beer. The other 335 pounds of plastic carriers went to the program’s sponsor, GreenLabs Recycling, which will have it shredded, melted and then pelletized into raw material for new plastic products. There are now almost 100 such carrier collection programs in the state, and the Mass. Brew Bros. website has even created a map for consumers to find them. In Western Massachusetts, there are plenty of breweries joining the cause. I don’t have space to mention them all, but places such as Brick & Feather in Montague, Progression Brewing and Building 8 in Northampton, Abandoned Building and New City in Easthampton, Leadfoot in Chicopee, Vanished Valley and Iron Duke in Ludlow, and Westfield River Brewing in Westfield, among many others, are participants. Check out the map for the one closest to you and start saving your carriers for return. We all need to get with this program.
Grubhub, DoorDash fight cap on delivery fees
T
HE LONG-RUNNING dispute between independent restaurants and third-party delivery services took a new turn in mid-July when Grubhub and DoorDash filed suit in federal court to overturn San Francisco’s cap on delivery fees. The relationship between restaurants and smartphone-based delivery companies has never been an easy one; the economics of third-party restaurant delivery has been problematic from the start. Companies like Grubhub and Uber Eats primarily make their money from the spread between what they collect from delivery customers and the amount those services pass back to the restaurant that supplied the food. This discount rate, typically anywhere between 15% and 30%, is the source of conflict, since it means third-party deliveries aren’t even close to profitable for the restaurants that fill them. Not wanting to put themselves at a competitive disadvantage, third-party services at first insisted on charging delivery customers the same prices that a restaurant’s dinein or take-out customers paid, thereby hiding the real cost of delivery. With the typical independent eatery generating a profit margin of around 5%, under such a setup delivery orders end up being subsidized by the restaurant — and its dine-in customers. This situation was tolerable when delivery was a small percentage of a restaurant’s overall business, but as third-party delivery sales spiked during pandemic dining room shutdowns, the hefty commissions Grubhub and its competitors were charging back to participating eateries began to do real dollars-andcents damage. Some cities responded by temporarily capping the discount rate third-party services could charge. San Francisco’s

The relationship between restaurants and smartphonebased delivery companies has never been an easy one; the economics of thirdparty restaurant delivery has been problematic from the start. Board of Supervisors (city council) went a step further and passed a permanent 15% cap. Their business model threatened, the third-party services have gone to court in order to get that cap overturned. In areas where caps have

High altitude key to great wines at Terrazas de los Andes
H
EIGHT CAN MAKE a huge difference. In basketball. In measuring mountains. And also when it comes to making great wine. That’s what one French winemaker discovered when he started Terrazas de los Andes winery in Argentina. “That was the vision,” Herve Birnie Scott said during a recent one-on-one online interview and wine tasting. Scott moved to Argentina three decades ago and started growing grapes at dizzying heights (as high as 1,650 meters, or more than 5,400 feet in elevation) near the foothills of the Andes Mountains near Mendoza, the Argentinian city now famous for its world-renowned vineyards. But it wasn’t always that way, Scott explained. Moet & Chandon (whose parent company owns Terrazas de los Andes winery) approached Scott about starting a winery in Argentina. The famous French Champagne company had been making sparkling wine in Mendoza since 1959. But the company wanted to do something different in Argentina, Scott said.
But while growing grapes at high elevation can be challenging, it’s worth the effort since the grapes grown there produce “amazing” wines, Scott said. “Altitude brings you something very, very interesting, which is slow ripening,” Scott said. “Basically, you have three maturities for red wine.

get the most complete expression of malbec. This wine has a lot of soft tannins, a lot of silkiness, a lot of floral character, violets … Freshness is key to us. No oak. Nothing overcoming the fruit. Just elegance.” Writer’s tasting notes: Dry, intense fruit flavors with a long, powerful yet subtle finish. Distinct, light raspberry fruit flavors add another layer of complexity. The second day after opening the bottle, the fruit flavors are even more intense, yet subtle, with a flintier finish. Absolutely magnificent. 2017 Terrazas de los Andes Grand Cabernet Sauvignon “You will see with the malbec and the cabernet sauvignon, these are two, high altitude areas that express the cold climate. And you can really see the difference with the type of grapes. It’s not overripe, it’s not excessive alcohol. When it’s overripe, everything is the same. You can’t tell the difference between a malbec, a cabernet sauvignon or a syrah. It just tastes like crystalized fruit. When it’s not overripe, you don’t overload with new wood. You keep that fruit forward expression. You can really see the difference in the type of grapes and the terroir, of soil expression … We could have huge wines, very tannic, but it’s nonsense. If you have a huge wine, you lose all the dimension, finesse and elegance that we want to maintain in our wines.” Writer’s tasting notes: Dry, well-balanced wine with a tight, intense finish. This wine definitely has a rockier, flintier, more mineral-like finish with hints of granite. There are also wonderful fruit flavors, especially hints of dried blackberry. The second day after opening the bottle, the wine tastes even flintier, rockier and earthier with beautiful sharp edged flavors balanced by wonderful, vivid fruit notes. Truly impressive. Cheers!
