Step into a world of horses 4-day Equine Affaire offers shows, exhibits, clinics

Special to The Republican

quine Affaire, which opens Nov. 10 for four days on the grounds of the Eastern States Exposition in West Springfield, is more an equine exposition and equestrian gathering than a horse show competition.

“If you are new to horses, Equine Affaire is the perfect gateway to the industry because there’s a different facet of the horse world represented everywhere you look.

We have beginner-friendly exhibits and clinics. We have pavilions where you can meet horses and meet their owners.

We have the trade show, where you can see and touch and try out practically every kind of product or thing you need to care for horses or start a farm,” said Allison Rehnborg, marketing coordinator for Equine Affaire, Inc. “There’s no better place to ask questions, to learn things, to make connections and to meet friends who can help you take those first steps into

the horse world, if that’s what you’d like to do. And for the experienced horse owners, there’s always more to learn and more people to meet and more items you want to try out or buy or learn about. It really is the ultimate equestrian experience and it caters to everybody – every skill level, every discipline, every breed.

That’s what makes Equine Affaire unique,” she added.

Equine Affaire has always offered horses for sale and adoption for years, but a new feature this year is the

Sales Horse Showcase. Twice during the show, they will host half-hour Sales Horse Showcases in the main arena where sale horses and horses for adoption can be ridden or led, and interested buyers can watch the horses in action.

“We’re excited to offer this and we hope it’ll help connect even more sale horses with their new homes,” Rehnborg said.

Equine Affaire also will offer a new activity in conjunction with the Ebony Horsewomen.

“They’ll be on site offering youth a chance to interact with horses in an equine therapy-type setting, and we think that’s going to show youth just how wonderful it can be to connect with horses on an emotional level,” Rehnborg said.

As part of this year’s Equine Affaire, there will be a special Veterans Day activity happening on Nov. 11. Equine Affaire has partnered with the Equine Immersion Project to present A Horse for Heroes, which is for veterans, first responders

and other heroes. Participants can interact with horses through a variety of unmounted activities from 5 to 6:15 p.m. in the GGT Arena in the Young Building.

And for those looking to see some horses and rides in action, on Nov. 11, there is the Versatile Horse & Rider Competition, which is a timed obstacle race featuring horses and riders competing

for $5,500 in cash and other prizes. On Nov. 12 and 13, there will be the International Liberty Horse Association Freestyle Invitational - a twopart competition featuring horses at liberty with their handlers.

Visitors can end their day at Equine Affaire on Nov. 10, 11 and 12 at a musical celebration of the horse called

This is especially true if you live in an area where an increasing number of good local or regional choices become available. This is particularly true with IPAs, which are best imbibed when they are at their freshest. Here in Massachusetts, the number of breweries has grown to 130 – meaning there is more than one brewery for every three municipalities. (Massachusetts has 351 cities and towns.)

What a shame.

Like many wine regions in France, including the Rhone region, Loire Valley and Bordeaux, you can often find many outstanding, affordable wines in Languedoc Roussillon.

All three wines recommended this week cost less than $20 a bottle, including one recently purchased for less than $9 a bottle.

And while Languedoc Roussillon makes many different types of wines – including white wines, roses and sparkling wines – this week’s recommended wines are all red wines, which seems appropriate since more than half of the wines produced in Languedoc Roussillon are red.

MOVIES

Jennifer Lawrence plays a veteran readjusting to life in ‘Causeway’

By Nina Metz

O

Chicago Tribune

NE OF THE TOP ACtors of his generation, it’s only a matter of time before Brian Tyree Henry lands a project that puts his talents front and center.

But even in supporting roles, whenever he’s on screen, suddenly you’re locked in to what he’s doing regardless of genre.

In the indie movie “Causeway” on Apple TV+, he’s showing off his looser side as an actor, playing an auto mechanic who befriends a young woman back home after serving in Afghanistan. It’s a wonderfully layered performance that elevates the film at every turn.

However, Jennifer Lawrence is the film’s primary interest as Lynsey, the aforementioned veteran who has suffered a traumatic brain injury after an explosion. Numbed, closed off and dealing with some serious physical disabilities, she first rehabs in the residence of a gentle but practical home health care provider (Jayne Houdyshell) who literally gets her back on her feet. Then Lynsey is on a bus heading back to her dilapidated working-class childhood home in New Orleans, which is where the bulk of the story takes place. The physical effects of her injury are mostly dispensed with, but the emotional issues linger.

Though her mom (Linda Emond) is mutedly happy to see her, she’s also not particularly invested in her daughter’s return and the feeling is mutual. There’s not a lot of warmth

between the two but plenty of unspoken history; they are polite but awkward around one another.

And so Lynsey gets a job cleaning pools. The contrast between the luxurious Garden District backyards she services and the sad inflatable pool she and her mom cool off in one night is on point. “You can tell a lot about a person ‘cause of what’s in the pool drain,” her boss tells her, and it’s a line that’s maybe the closest the film comes to either comedy or commentary. The job is a way to pass the time until Lynsey can get her doctor to sign off and allow her to redeploy. That was her ticket out the first time and it’s all she knows.

Then she meets a mechanic named James, played by Henry, and they form a tentative friendship. He’s friendly and funny without being pushy.

He’s also watchful and quietly repressing some trauma of his own and he recognizes something in her that hits a little too close to home: She’s lost and unmoored. Maybe he finds the sharp edges of her personality intriguing as well, so he extends her more courtesy than he might otherwise. As for Lynsey, she needs a helping hand (or a ride) every so often and sees something genuine and familiar in James’ low-key gregariousness, which has such a distinctly New Orleans quality to it.

As a film, “Causeway” is perhaps too cautious and oblique about the story it wants to tell. Is it about the struggle

Lila Neugebauer and Jennifer Lawrence in “Causeway.”

(WILSON WEBB / APPLETV / TNS)

for veterans to reacclimate stateside? Sort of, but Lynsey reveals almost nothing about her time in the military. Is it about returning to a place that feels like the ghost town of your soul and forging new and unlikely connections? Yes, but it’s maybe too hands-off in that regard. Lynsey is reticent and detached from the world around her and Lawrence’s performance can’t do enough to sketch in the contours of this woman’s personality beyond her outward qualities. In terms of affect, Lawrence has stripped everything down to the studs and it’s tempting to compare her work here to her breakout Oscar-nominated role more than a decade ago in “Winter’s Bone.” But unlike that earlier performance, this one feels so inward as to keep the audience at arm’s length.

What interests or drives this young woman beyond running from her demons?

Pain and guilt and unresolved anger can become so embedded they shape the way you interact with the world. Maybe getting to know a stranger can feel like a reprieve. Here’s someone who doesn’t view you through the prism of your history; you are the person who stands before them, not an accumulation of your past. That’s what the

movie seems to be getting at most effectively, particularly when it comes to James and why he might be drawn to Lynsey.

The title itself refers to the Causeway bridge, which spans 24 miles over Louisiana’s Lake Pontchartrain. James was in a car accident on the Causeway that has left him sorting through the emotional wreckage, though he keeps most of that tamped down beneath his easygoing demeanor. Being around Lynsey offers him the opportunity to interact with someone new who doesn’t look at him with pity — until she does. That amounts to the film’s climax, and I’m not sure it’s actually enough. The movie also takes a colorblind approach, which has a way of erasing some specificity along the way. A staggering number of TV and movie projects take place in New Orleans these days due in part to the lucrative filming incentives offered in Louisiana. Director Lila Neugebauer captures the laconic pace of life in New Orleans, as well as the visual and tonal sensibility of the city — it’s important to be specific to a place, otherwise why shoot there? — but the script misses so much. It takes about 45 minutes to cross the Causeway, which can feel surreal the

first few times you do it — the lake is enormous — and to crash on the Causeway is an especially frightening prospect because there’s nothing but water on either side for miles and miles. Neither James nor Lynsey comment on this, which is odd and confounding because the screenplay comes from Elizabeth Sanders, who is from New Orleans, as well as Luke Goebel and Ottessa Moshfegh, the latter of whom is also a one-time New Orleans resident.

New Orleans has always been a small town masquerading as a city, and that Lynsey runs into nobody she knew growing up is conspicuous. It just doesn’t track. She also mentions that she attended, on scholarship, a ritzy and well-known private school in New Orleans (the same school that counts Eli and Peyton Manning as alum, though the film doesn’t mention this) and educational environments like this? They’re not typically pushing even their scholarship students on a path to enlistment. I wish we gleaned some information as to why Lynsey thought it was her best option. It’s a small detail but would tell us so much more about how she views her place in the world.

As it is, she remains unknowable.

du Roussillon.

Like France’s Rhone region, some of the most popular grapes used to make wines in Languedoc Roussillon include grenache, syrah and mourvedre, especially when it comes to red wines. And like many Rhone reds, these three grapes often form the holy tinity of blended red wines from Languedoc Roussillion and are sometimes simply referred to as GSM wines based on the abbreviations for these three grapes. Other popular red wine grapes in Languedoc Roussillon include the usual suspects, including merlot

Beer CONTINUES FROM PAGE E5

interesting to go back and drink some Sculpin now. It’s been a few years since I’ve had any, and I wondered if the changes in the IPA world (and just the inevitable changes that occur to everyone’s palates) would affect my affection for the brew.

I was in luck, as it didn’t take much effort to find some Sculpin. So how did it stack up against both modern IPAs and my memories of the beer?

Pretty well, I’d say. While the beer still had a food dose of citrus notes, the cavalcade of New England IPAs has dulled my palate to anything but an onslaught of juicy hop assaults.

Fortunately, since Sculpin is a classic West Coast IPA, the other hop flavors, especially the pine aspects, set it apart from many modern IPAs. As I recalled from drinking it back in the mid-2000s, the malt aspect is present, but certainly stays in the background. It’s still a very good beer.

I don’t see myself seeking Sculpin out much, however.

There are just too many good IPAs being made literally minutes from where I live. And freshness still reigns.

I’d be interested in hearing readers revisiting old favorites and their thoughts when they do. Reach me at geolenker@ yahoo.com.

and cabernet sauvignon.

As for white wine grapes, chardonnay reigns supreme just like many other regions in the world. Other popular white wine grapes in Languedoc Roussillon include sauvignon blanc, roussanne, Marsanne and vermentino.
