e’re back,” said Linda Post, who cofounded Paradise City Arts Festival in 1995 with her husband, Geoffrey Post.

After canceling six shows since the pandemic began— four in Northampton and two in Marlborough — Paradise City returns to Northampton for a three-day run at the Three County Fairgrounds, Saturday through Monday.

“That is a long time to go without having your business in full operation, and it is a long time for artists, many of whom look to festivals like ours to reach their customers,” Post said.

the ticket booth, proof of vaccination/vaccination card or a negative COVID-19 test result taken in the past 72 hours will be required.

Held on the Three County Fair grounds, some 220 artists and master craft makers from around the country will show and sell original works at the three-day event in ceramics, painting, decorative fiber, art glass, furniture, jewelry,

metal, mixed media, photography, sculpture, wearable art and woodworking.

“We have about five dozen new exhibitors at this year’s show who bring a vibrant new energy to the festival.

Show-goers look forward to their favorite artists returning as well as seeing new artists whose works they have never seen before,” Post said.

SPRINGFIELD

Food truck festival rolls into Indian Orchard

CONTINUES FROM PAGE E2

By Cori Urban

Special to The Republican

Zaida Govan is not sure why food trucks are so popular, but they seem “all the rave,” she said. “It might be that you can choose from a variety of foods, and they are usually not very expensive.”

Thirteen food trucks will be serving specialties from Spanish food to American burgers to Asian food at the Indian Orchard Citizens Council’s fifth annual Food Truck Festival on Saturday, from noon to 6 p.m.

But there will be more than food.

“This is a community event,” said Govan, president of the Indian Orchard Citizens Council.

There will be vendors from throughout the region selling their wares, from gift baskets to T-shirts. “It’s a great time to get Christmas presents,” she said, noting that there also will be a number of community organizations recruiting employees; Tapestry Health will offer COVID-19 vaccines with incentives.

The Food Truck Festival will also feature Shriners Clowns and arts and crafts activities for children.

A video game truck for children and youth was added this year.

make and sew clothes.

“I’m obsessed with the lines, the color, the frailty, and the varied surface it creates on my paintings. Because it creates a surface so random and varied in the texture, I feel each piece is unique no matter the subject matter. Could each piece convey a personality for the human qualities that the word ‘skin’ would evoke? Oftentimes I think of the surface and the wrinkles they create as age, the passing of time and the subject matter as a moment in time, trying to capture and hold it,” she said.

The theme of the fall show’s special exhibition is “Abstract Thoughts.” As described on the festival’s website, “abstract art is art that has moved away from the representation of physical objects or places to show something beyond that. Abstract art dares our visual system to interpret an image that is fundamentally different from the kind of images our brain has evolved to recognize.”

Among the many playful works submitted for the special exhibition is an asymmetrical brooch created by artist Rob Greene.

“Instead of a traditional cameo brooch or one decorated with flowers, Rob has taken a stick like form and created an abstract forest around the stone and taking it in a direction that is very geometric,” Post said.

The art fest also celebrates the culinary and entertainment arts.

Among the delectable delights awaiting festivalgoers under the Festival Dining Tent — along with special

festival craft cocktails — will be exotic curries, dim sum and crisp-crusted pizza to locavore burgers and fresh homemade ice cream as well as other treats.

Music to soothe the soul under the Festival Dining Tent will include performances by the O-Tones on Saturday, the bluegrass sounds of The Bagboys performing for the first time at Paradise City on Sunday, and Roger Salloom on Monday.

Giving back to the community has always been important to the Posts, who each year hold a silent auction at the show.

Held in Exhibition Building 3 and featuring items donated

by Paradise City’s exhibiting artists, the silent auction will shift its focus to benefit the Northampton Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Northampton Association.

Before leaving the fest, check out the outdoor Sculpture Promenade with its large-scale sculptures.

The show runs Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Monday,10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $14 for adults; students, $8; and ages 12 and under are free. There is a three-day pass for $16. Visit festivals.paradisecityarts. com for more information.

Among the new exhibitors is Sue Fontaine of Lake Pleasant, New York, who paints what she refers to as “abandoned landscapes.”

“Paradise City is a really prestigious juried show and when I applied, I never really expected to be accepted. Up until now, I have only shown my works at smaller local shows and in some galleries, so I’m really excited to talk about my work with those attending as well as other exhibitors,” Fontaine said.

Her abandoned landscapes include old industrial buildings, water towers, barns and even nature scenes depicting dead or dying trees or weeds.

“These are objects people don’t often notice that are at the end of their life... just sitting in the community somewhere,” Fontaine said, who draws her inspiration from growing up in Holyoke and experiencing all that the post-industrial mill town had to offer.

She remembers well her first painting class.

“Our professor told us to paint anything we desired. So I went home and painted my mom’s Victorian living room and put a scrappy, ripped up cardboard box in it. My professor asked me what I found most interesting about the painting, and it was definitely that old cardboard box. I am fascinated by things that are rusting or peeling ... the dilapidated space ... to explore what is at the end of its life and show it in a new way,” Fontaine said.

While working with acrylics, the artist noted she prefers to call her works mixed media.

“I call them mixed media because it is not simply acrylics that I use. I also use a graphite pencil and start each piece on sheer, patterned skins, which are creamy in color,” Fontaine said.

For over 20 years, she has started each new piece with “pattern skins,” the tissue paper used to make clothes.

Her first experience with them was at Junior Achievement in Holyoke at the age of 12, where she was taught with others to

GM SPRINGfield is moving its free Friday outdoor concert series into the casino’s Aria Ballroom beginning Oct. 15 at 7:30 p.m.

“We are thrilled to continue offering this free concert series to our community featuring some of our most talented local artists. Based on the success of the summer program, it makes perfect sense to bring the fun inside to one of our fantastic MGM Springfield venues,” said Chris Kelley, MGM Springfield’s president and COO. Beer, wine and nonalcoholic beverages will be available during the shows.

Guests also can enjoy MGM Springfield’s diverse food and beverage offerings before or after the concerts, with options including The Chandler Steakhouse, Tap Sports Bar and South End Market.

Liner notes • Former local singer-songwriter Jamie Kent, who is currently based in Nashville, will return to the area for an acoustic evening at the Iron Horse Music Hall in Northampton on Oct. 29.

Kent cut his musical teeth in Western Massachusetts, playing numerous shows and organizing weekly concerts in Northampton for other artists throughout the summer for several years.

Since moving to Nashville, Kent has carved out a career as an independent artist, entrepreneur, and activist. His last album debuted at No. 16 on the Billboard Top Country Albums Chart.

Local favorite Roger Salloom will open the show.

‘Tip the Kitchen’ boosts earnings, morale of cooks and dishwashers

AGAWAM

Craft beer, wine tasting benefits historic house McCarthy’s Liquors will sponsor the return of the Capt. Charles Leonard House’s annual Harvest Craft Beer & Wine Tasting tomorrow from 6 to 9 p.m.

The event will be held at the historic community house at 663 Main St. and will benefit the nonprofit that has operated the home since 1939.

John and Manon McCarthy, owners-operators of McCarthy’s Liquors and Johnny Mac Liquors in Springfield, are longtime supporters of the Leonard house and plan to again donate proceeds from ticket sales.

A variety of wines and craft beers will be offered at the event, including new and popular offerings. A range of price points will be represented, and beer and wine distributors’ representatives will be on hand to present the selections and answer questions.

Hot and cold hors d’oeuvres prepared by Joey’s Deli & Market in Feeding Hills, are included in the ticket price. A selection of door prizes will be raffled the night of the tasting.

Trustees of the Leonard house will also be on hand to provide tours of the house, which is available to rent for

business and social functions.

Tickets are $40 and are available at McCarthy’s Liquors, 430 Main St., Agawam and Johnny Mac Liquors, 1949 Wilbraham Road, Springfield, or by calling the Leonard house at 413-786-9421.

Attendees must be at least 21 years old.

HE DISPARITY BEtween what servers and kitchen workers earn has long been a source of friction in the restaurant world. With waitstaff getting tips that substantially supplement their earnings, back of the house workers, who are often prohibited from sharing in those tips, end up making a lot less than their front-of-the-house counterparts.

One multilocation restaurant group, Charleston, South Carolina-based 5th Street Group, has come up with a strategy that deals with the disparity in the form of a “Tip the Kitchen” initiative. 5th Street Group, which operates restaurants in Charleston, Charlotte, North Carolina, and Nashville, Tennessee, has begun adding a second tip line to the guest checks it presents its customers.

That second line is for the back-of-house staff — line cooks, prep cooks, and dishwashers — who don’t otherwise benefit from the gratuity a

patron leaves for the waitstaff.

Patrick Whalen, the CEO of the 5th Street Group, reports that his “Tip the Kitchen” program has helped his group avoid the staffing woes other restaurants are currently experiencing. 5th Street currently pays line cooks $18 to $20 an hour; funds from “Tip the Kitchen” program are supplementing that amount by an average of $50 a shift.

Whalen’s company cites reduced turnover and a less toxic work environment as the primary benefits of the “Tip the Kitchen” program.

Side dishes • Though the day itself is still more than six weeks away, it’s certainly not too soon to think about making reservations for a Thanksgiving dinner “out,” especially if you have your heart set on one of the region’s more popular holiday dining venues.

Restaurants are expecting strong Turkey Day demand, and nearly all are under COVID-related capacity restrictions that are likely to result in early sellouts.

Many operations will also be offering Thanksgiving togo options, either in the form of side dishes, whole roasted turkeys, or complete dinner packages.

assessment report and preservation plan is being created for the historic house, funded through a grant from the Community Preservation Act Committee. Proceeds from fundraising events like this one aid in the operation and preservation of the 216-year-old structure.

The house was built in 1805 as a stage tavern on the Hartford-Boston route.

What I do and how I do it

VERY FEW YEARS I like to revisit the topic of how I approach this column.

I do this for several reasons: First, there are probably new readers who might find the information interesting or useful.

Second, I often get suggestions about what to write about via email or from readers I see out and about. Last but not least, it’s good for me to remind myself of my goals and (loose) rules I have set for this weekly feature.

Let’s start with new readers (and by new, I mean ones who have discovered this column in the past few years). Welcome!

As I have said many times over the 17 (almost 18) years I’ve written Beer Nut, I am always humbled and honored that you take even a small part of your week to read my words.

Everyone has opinions and viewpoints, and I am sincerely grateful that you are willing to

read mine.

As you will see, or have seen, this is not a beer “review” column in which I rate beers according to some star system or whatever. In fact, I rarely rate beers at all. This is mostly because I’m a subjectivist, especially when it comes to arts and/ or crafts, and one man’s ceiling is another woman’s floor, and all that sort of thing.

For example, a beer that I find delicious may land quite differently on your palate. Not because either of us knows more; it may simply be a case of having different tastes. I love a good IPA. I know plenty of folks who find them unsavory. On the other hand, sours turn me off, but there are clearly a large percentage of beer fans who love them. In other words, to each their own.

I do, however, often describe a beer’s flavor as best I can, using the standard adjectives that are

often employed in beer writing (albeit with my own particular twists). I also sometimes may do an A-B comparison between two beers for a specific reason, and may say one is better — in my opinion.

When it comes to readers’ suggestions, please know that I take them seriously and will consider what you say. There is a lot of beer knowledge out there, and I’m always willing to learn. But let’s address a few common ones: “You should write about (insert brewery name)”: I wish I had the time and column space to cover every brewery. But with a new brewery popping up every 17 minutes or so (OK, I’m exaggerating, but you know what I mean), it’s impossible to even mention them all. I only have 52 columns a year, and I like to write about a wide variety of beer topics.

“You should write about local

breweries more”: Well, in fact, I write about them quite a bit.

In the 40 columns I’ve written this year before today’s, I’ve mentioned local breweries in about half, and 10 were either specifically or largely about local (sometimes regional, but nothing too far afield) breweries or beer. I love the local/regional scene, but I also don’t want to be too provincial.

The above two suggestions also include suggestions that I write about some new brewery that just opened. I’m torn about this: It’s always exciting to see a new brewery. But since I can’t, as I said, write about every brewery, it’s hard to decide. There is (or was, back when I was a beat reporter) an unwritten rule above covering the openings of new businesses.

This was because editors wanted to make sure the business would survive long enough to warrant coverage. Statis-

George Lenker Beer Nut

tics show that 20% of small businesses fail in their first year, with another 30% faltering by Year 2. So I tend to be cautious.

So what do I do with this column? Along with items mentioned above, I try to find interesting stories, trends and, yes, beers, that you might not have encountered. I try to keep the mix varied and lively. That means local coverage, for sure, but there’s a big world of craft beer out there. I can’t get to it all, but I hope what I do write either enlightens or entertains you.

Thanks for reading!

‘License to drink’: Every cocktail, wine in every James Bond movie vodka, vermouth and limes.

Other cocktails: Negroni, glass of rum, a vodka with ice, 2 shots of vodka, medium dry martini, Wines: Unnamed red wine with dinner with Dr. No. A bottle of 1955 Dom Perignon Champagne with Dr. No, which Bond cheekily tastes and says, “I prefer the 53 myself,” then uses the empty bottle as a weapon.

James Bond (Daniel Craig) and Paloma (Ana de Armas) appear in a scene from “No Time To Die.” Columnist Ken Ross has compiled a list of every cocktail, every wine and more that appear in each James Bond film. (NICOLA DOVE / DANJAQ, LLC AND MGM)

beautiful new bottles of the Blanc de Blancs for ’53, which I believe to be superb.” Fleming added that his fictional creation was in Japan at the moment and “I shall try and play fair with him, but it may well be that by the time he returns he will find nothing but the empty bottles.”

As for 007, he is a connoisseur of fine wine as well. Right from the first James Bond movie, “Dr. No,” martinis and wine (especially Champagne) feature prominently in many scenes throughout the spy franchise. Bond even uncovers a secret double agent in “From Russia With Love” and a pair of assassins in “Diamonds Are Forever” based solely on Bond’s extensive knowledge of wine.

Forget about a license to kill.

This master British spy has a license to drink — and drink well.

So in honor of “No Time To Die,” the latest James Bond movie (and Craig’s last one) that comes out this week, here is every cocktail, every glass of wine and even a few bottles of beer and a glass of ouzo featured in the first 24 James Bond movies, along with the other two unofficial Bond films

— the 1967 madcap version of “Casino Royale” and the 1983 version of “Never Say Never Again” featuring Sean Connery one more time. Hope you enjoy.

Bond by the numbers: Every martini, cocktail, wine and other drinks • Vodka martinis for Bond: 21 in the 24 official Bond films, 2 in the two unofficial Bond movies.

• Cocktails or drinks other than wine: 59 in the 24 Bond films, 2 in the two unofficial ones.

• Glasses or bottles of Champagne: 32 official, 4 unofficial.

• Glasses or bottles of other wine: 16 official, 0 unofficial.

“Dr. No” (1962) Plot: James Bond, played by Sean Connery, is sent to Jamaica to find out why a fellow British agent has disappeared.

Villain: Joseph Wiseman as Dr. No. First drink: 24 minutes, 38 seconds into the movie, Bond has “one medium dry vodka martini, mixed like you said, sir — and not stirred” in his hotel room in Jamaica. The martini is made with Smirnoff

“Goldfinger” (1964) Plot: Bond, played by Sean Connery, must stop Auric Goldfinger from implementing his devious plan of world domination in this delightful

classic adored by Bond fans.

Villain: Gert Frobe has a field day as Goldfinger.

First drink: 15:29 — We see an open bottle of 1953 Dom Perignon in an ice bucket in a hotel room in Miami. Bond removes the bottle. “Ah, it’s lost its chill. It’s alright.

There’s another in the fridge.”

HAKEN, NOT stirred.

Say those three words and most people know exactly who you’re talking about.

Bond. James Bond.

Never has a character been more identified with a particular cocktail. In this case, a dry, vodka martini.

That’s probably why Daniel Craig had three or four of them in 2005 in Baltimore (where he was filming “The Invasion”) upon learning he was cast as Bond, Craig recalled during a recent interview with “No Time To Die: The Official James Bond” podcast.

“I was in the supermarket buying groceries and the phone went and (producer) Barbara (Broccoli) said, ‘Over to you kiddo’,” he said. “I got drunk, that’s what I did. I bought a bottle of vodka and a bottle of vermouth, a cocktail shaker and made myself three or four vodka martinis. Except I could only do it on my own because I couldn’t celebrate with anybody because I had to keep it secret. There was a sort of melancholy to it.”

The funny part is Bond’s creator, author Ian Fleming, probably would have rather taken a bullet than drink a vodka martini. Fleming’s drink of choice was the classic, dry gin martini, preferably made by a skilled bartender at Duke’s, Fleming’s favorite bar in London. Such classic cocktails still reign supreme at Duke’s Bar, thanks to master bartender, Alessandro Palazzi.

And when Fleming wasn’t drinking gin martinis, he was often drinking great wine.

Upon receiving several bottles of vintage Champagne from Taittinger as a gift, Fleming wrote a letter on April 9, 1963, to the Champagne house in Reims, France (where the framed letter now hangs in a private tasting room at Taittinger) to thank them for sending “your

Eaton), replies, “Who needs it?” Bond replies, “My girl, there are just some things that are not done, such as drinking Dom Perignon ’53 above the temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s as bad as listening to The Beatles without earmuffs.” Just as Bond gets the new bottle of Champagne out of the fridge, Oddjob (Harold Sakata) knocks out Bond.

Other cocktails: For the first time in a Bond movie, he orders a “martini, shaken not stirred,” on Goldfinger’s private jet. Also has a mint julip with “sour mash but not too sweet.”

Wines: Unnamed glass of red wine with dinner with M and Colonel Smithers, plus a brandy after the same dinner Bond describes as “a 30-year-old fiend indifferently blended, Sir.”
