ike many things during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Green River Festival had to pause, shift gears and do a reset.

Luckily for local music fans, the one thing that hasn’t changed is the quality of the festival lineup.

Acts such as Lake Street Dive, Father John Misty, Guster, and Asleep at the Wheel are just the tip of a talented iceberg ready to glide through Greenfield tomorrow through Sunday at the Franklin County Fairgrounds at 89 Wisdom Way. Other notable acts include Dustbowl Revival, Sarah Borges, the Ryan Montbleau Band, and Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway.

“We’re also very excited to welcome local legends The Young@Heart Chorus for the first time,” festival founder Jim Olsen said.

After a year off in 2020 due to COVID19, the annual festival was unable to use its normal site at Greenfield Community College last year, so it moved to the Franklin County Fairgrounds, which previously just was used for festival campers.

After seeing how well the event fared there, Olsen decided to make the move permanent.

Olsen added that while last year at the fairgrounds was an experiment, which was still limited by COVID-related concerns, this year they will be able to utilize the entire grounds to provide fest-goers an even better experience.

“This includes expanding our dining options, with over 30 food vendors and a big dining tent where people can enjoy seating and shade,” he said. “We’re bringing back the Green House Stage, which is a tiny house with a porch that hosts sweet acoustic performances. We’ll have four stages in all.”

The festival will also feature its usual cornucopia of kids’ activities, including games, crafts, a Mardi Gras parade, puppets and even high-flying Frisbee dogs, as well as a slate of children’s musicians.

MUSIC | MOVIES MOVIE REVIEW

Sci-fi story ‘Lightyear’ blends adult drama, kid adventure

By Katie Walsh

Tribune News Service

Disney has made big business mining content from content, with spinoffs and sequels and multiverses dancing through multiplexes and streaming apps. “Lightyear,” the latest Disney/ Pixar animated film, has been extracted from the much-beloved “Toy Story” universe, but it’s a bit unique. It’s sort of a prequel, in that it’s intended to be Andy’s favorite movie, the one that spawned the Buzz Lightyear toy that took up residence in his room with Woody and the rest of his pals. So “Lightyear” is not about Buzz Lightyear, the toy, but about Buzz Lightyear, the character, and this satisfying animated sci-fi adventure is a good choice for Andy’s favorite flick.

Though Tim Allen originally voiced Buzz, Chris Evans has taken over vocal duties in “Lightyear,” and with Evans in the role there’s more than a few times one will wish this was a live-action film. “Lightyear,” directed by Angus MacLane, and written by MacLane, Matthew Aldrich, and Jason Headley, does manage to strike an interesting tone between “adult drama” and “kiddie adventure,” with a serious sci-fi story that’s been

friend and fellow Ranger Alisha Hawthorne (Uzo Aduba).

When Buzz crashes the ship during a harrowing escape and maroons the team, he feels the guilt that comes with failure, and feels responsible for returning the team back home. He’s dedicated to finishing the mission, but as time passes life happens, even while marooned, and as Buzz stubbornly refuses to accept their new reality, life passes dusted with some good humor him by.

The ninth fairway at the Worthington Golf Club has beautiful views, beautiful sunsets and “wonderful natural acoustics.”

That’s why owner David J. Pollard says it’s the perfect place for summer evening concerts.

The location — links by day

and concert venue by night — was the site of a Jon Pousette-Dart Band concert last year, and “it went so well, we said, ‘Let’s do some more’” concerts, Pollard said.

This summer’s concert series lineup is: Jim Messina, Saturday, 7:30 p.m., tickets start at $69; Carla Cooke presents “An Evening of Sam Cooke,” July 2, 7 p.m., tickets start at $45; Pure Prairie League, Aug. 12, 7 p.m., tickets start at $45; The James Montgomery Band & The Joe Louis Walker

Restaurants coping with ‘new normal’

G

ETTING BACK TO normal — it’s something we all long for after more than two years of a public health crisis.

Certainly those in the restaurant business, having endured dining room shutdowns, operational “pivots,” supply chain bottlenecks, and staffing shortages, are eager to see things return to “normal.”

Customers are also impatient to see the return of the status quo, with going out to dinner and enjoying the company of family and friends an affordable, familiar pleasure.

The questions might be obvious — what will this “normal” look like and how soon will it be here? — but definitive answers remain elusive. It’s clear, however, that the “new normal” is going to be quite different from the world of 2019.

Certainly the labor crisis with which restaurants are grappling will persist well into the future, as will its impact

in the form of slower service, shorter hours, and higher prices. Labor supply problems in the industry, though less severe, predated COVID-19 (anyone remember the line cook “shortage”?), and the inexorable demographic realities underlying the crisis (fewer 18- to 30-year-olds today than a decade ago) won’t disappear if and when the pandemic truly becomes history.

Expect, then, to see more restaurant automation in the form of robots and digital ordering kiosks as well as slimmed-down menus as a way of keeping a lid on labor costs.

Supply chain challenges, both in terms of product and price, are likely to persist well into the future. Thanks to seemingly endless pandemic aftershocks, the war in the Ukraine, and the above-referenced labor shortfall, product won’t be flowing smoothly through global distribution channels anytime soon.

Again, higher restaurant prices and fewer dining options are the likely ongoing impact.

Finally, expect a paradigm shift in the restaurant world as major chains move away from “in-store” service to takeout, delivery, and ghost kitchen business models.

A number of brands such as Panera and Taco Bell are already working on drive-thru only prototypes, while other restaurant companies are designing and building locations with reduced or eliminated in-store seating as a way to keep land and construction costs down.

Expect the new dining out normal — which is probably already here — to not look much like the past for which we might yearn.

Side dishes • Springfield Restaurant Week is underway this week, running through June 26 and providing an opportunity to

explore (or get reacquainted with) the dining experiences the city has to offer.

Unlike the typical restaurant week promotion, Springfield’s version, which has been organized by the Springfield Business Improvement District, doesn’t rely on three-course, fixed-price menus to engage participants.

Instead, this restaurant week focuses on bringing together more than 40 food and dining venues in a collective celebration of what Springfield has to offer, both downtown and throughout the rest of the city.

There’s a listing of menu links at the Business Improvement District’s website, springfielddowntown. com. Additional Restaurant Week information can be found at the event’s social media outposts, facebook. com/springfielddowntown or Instagram.com/dine springfield.

minutes to him. His friends start families and grow older, while he’s stewing over fuel crystals with his disarming and loyal robot cat, Sox (Peter Sohn). Stuck on his own solo heroics, Buzz has missed the boat on time, and the life that comes with it.

At the film’s core is a message about learning to ask for help, and the importance of working as a team rather than as an individual, as well as a reminder to slow down and think about the cost of rushing ahead as planned. These lessons aren’t exactly subtle, pitched at a child’s understanding of the film’s morals, though the story itself is more mature and dramatic.

‘LIGHTYEAR’

rrts

Rated: PG (for action/peril) Running time: 100 minutes Playing at: Agawam Cinemas; Cinemark West Springfield, Enfield, Hampshire Mall; Regal MGM Springfield

“Lightyear” pulls from classic sci-fi adventure tropes, and Buzz is cut from the same cloth as another summer action hero, Maverick, in “Top Gun: Maverick.”

Both are solitary heroes who feel they alone can achieve a mission but learn they need to rely on others in order to get the job done. The parallels are so stark, in fact, that one has to chuckle at some of the coincidental (or not?)

parallels.

The film also touches on the multiverse trend that’s so hot right now, and while the logic of time travel and multiple selves doesn’t exactly track here, it’s the character logic that does. “Lightyear” does get mired in a gray area between genres, and doesn’t necessarily soar like some of the other films that it references. The humor is muted and it lacks the heartstring-tugging of the “Toy Story” movies from whose forehead it’s apparently sprung, fully formed.

Nevertheless, “Lightyear” is more charming than it’s not, and has a potential breakout star in Sox. Just like the Buzz in “Toy Story,” the Buzz in “Lightyear” has a big, beating heart underneath that Space Ranger suit.

A good kind of ‘beer gut’

W

ELL, A WEEK after I mocked the idea that “beer is good for you,” research published in the American Chemical Society’s Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry contradicted me.

OK, not really.

But the findings led researchers to state that men who drank one beer a day developed a more diverse colony of healthy gut microbes when compared to colonies examined before they started drinking a beer daily.

Of course headline writers couldn’t resist employing the term “beer gut,” so I decided to go with it as well. But let’s pause right away to note that the research is based on one beer per day. Even so, it should be noted that there are better and healthier ways to improve your gut microbes, including eating foods rich in prebiotics and probiotics, such as many fruits and vegetables. Other approaches include cutting out sugar and artificial sweeteners and, oh, yeah, avoiding binge drinking.

Apparently there are sever-

al factors at play in the beergut bacteria partnership.

One factor is the presence of micronutrients like polyphenols, which come from hops.

So let me amend my statement. I still say that beer, in general, isn’t good for you (except in a nebulous “quality of life” way), but I will admit that one beer a day seems to be good for you in some limited fashion. But I’m guessing very few of my readers are one-and-done types.

But the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still suggest that adult men consume fewer than two alcoholic drinks per day and recommend half as many for women. My money is with those folks.

In other beer science news, MIT just published a finding that says inactive yeast could be effective as an inexpensive solution for removing lead contamination from drinking water supplies.

3 outstanding Oregon chardonnay wines

REGON IS A MAGIcal place.

I still have fond memories as a teenager of skiing there on a glacier in the summer.

In my 20s, I spent a blissful week exploring the state with a good friend of mine.

Decades later, I still vividly remember the startling landscapes, fascinating people and the outstanding bookstores, restaurants and breweries.

That’s why I wasn’t surprised a few years ago when a winemaker in France’s Burgundy region told a story about their family’s love affair with Oregon.

Standing in an ancient stone wine cellar in Beaune in France, Frederic Drouhin recalled the moment when his father, Robert, stood atop a hillside in Oregon and saw the future. He realized the landscape and the climate there was as perfect as Burgundy.

The Drouhins should know.

The family runs Maison Joseph Drouhin, one of the most respected wineries in Burgundy.

Robert Drouhin had been to Oregon before but something magical happened in 1987, when the Drouhins visited Oregon and looked at a piece of land for sale there. “We had to stop the car at the bottom of the hill because there was no road, no nothing,” Frederic Drouhin said. “So he (Robert) climbed with a wine maker through a wheat field and when they reached the top of the hill, they saw the scenery.

They felt it. Clearly, it’s as simple as that.”

A year later, Robert Drouhin created Domaine Drouhin in Oregon in 1988.

Since then, the rest of the world has slowly caught up

to the Drouhins and realized what an amazing place Oregon is, especially when it comes to wine.

Like France’s Burgundy region, Oregon excels at creating magnificent wines made with Burgundy’s signature grapes — pinot noir and chardonnay.

A lot of that probably has to do with the cool, misty climate in the western part of Oregon, where most of the wine comes from in Oregon. There, the damp air often lingers a little longer and nights are often cooler and damper. (Most of eastern Oregon is the exact opposite — warmer and much drier.)

That’s probably why I was thinking about Oregon wines this past week. The calendar might say June, but here in New England, it felt more like a damp, cool April weekend.

But even when the weather warms up, trust me, you’ll love the three Oregon chardonnays recommended this week.

I realize I’m on a bit of a chardonnay kick recently. Last week, for Father’s Day, I recommended five outstanding California chardonnays.

Oregon wine regions The three Oregon chardonnays this week come from the Willamette Valley, including the one from Yamhill-Carlton, which is one of the 10 subregions located in the Willamette Valley. Oregon’s Willamette Valley runs north to south just south of Portland about 40 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. Many of Oregon’s best-known and respected wineries are located in the Willamette Valley. But it’s not the only wine region in the state. According to the Oregon Wine Board, other Oregon wine regions include Umpqua Valley, Rogue Valley, Columbia Gorge and Walla Walla Valley.

2019 Penner-Ash Chardonnay Willamette Valley ($45 SRP) • Tasting notes: Penner-Ash is probably best known for its complex, powerful pinot noir wines. Its chardonnay is just as impressive. Layers of flavors range from hints of oak and toasted butter to a dash of sea salt and grilled lemon. Everything about this wine is more subtle and intense. You can clearly taste the mist that often lingers in many vineyards in the Willamette Valley, giving this wine an air of mystery. An exciting, energetic wine with a distinct personality.
