A place to celebrate everything Scottish

28th annual Glasgow Lands Scottish Festival arrives to Look Memorial Park

By K eith O ’C onnor Special to The Republican

Look Memorial Park will be transformed from a popular picnic spot on Saturday to a special destination for visitors looking to celebrate everything Scottish as part of the 28th annual Glasgow Lands Scottish Festival.

The popular fest - including live entertainment, heavy athletics, Celtic dance, historical demonstrations, dancers, food, clans and plenty more to do and see - begins at 9 a.m.

“Last year’s festival attracted our biggest crowd ever fueled by the facts that the weather was perfect and we returned after a two-year absence due to COVID,” said Peter Langmore, event chair.

“Visitors won’t want to miss our spectacular and colorful opening ceremonies with pipe bands piping and drumming

while marching onto the field, along with tons of clans in traditional dress also parading and yelling their clan’s war calls. In the past, we have held our opening ceremonies at 11:30 a.m. and don’t want anyone to miss them this year since they have been moved earlier to 11 a.m., he added.

A highlight for many festivalgoers is the historic Highland Games, which date back some 900 years to Scottish King Malcom Canmore, who devised the first Scottish Games. The games, including both men and women, require a combination of strength and athleticism to participate in stone throwing, weight tossing, hammer-throwing, and caber toss.

Other competitions throughout the day include pipe bands, drum majors, solo pipers and drummer and Highland dancers who will travel from near and far to compete.

The sounds of Celtic-inspired music can be heard throughout the park with a full day of bands and individual performers including at the Main Stage the tribal

drums of Albannach and for the 17th time Enter the Haggis. Other main stage attractions include the Screaming Orphans and Sarah the Fiddler. The Harper’s Tent will feature performances by

the Pioneer Valley Harpers Guild and will also be the site of a Bonnie Knees Contest at 4 p.m. Also, Charlie Zahm will keep the music going by performing throughout the day at the vendor area.

The festival’s Celtic Pub offers a respite from all of the action with a cooling libation from Easthampton’s New City Brewery.

Whisky is Scotland’s national drink with five recognized Scottish whisky regions. In honor of that tradition, last year’s Glasgow Lands Scottish Festival featured their first-ever Scotch Whisky Tasting.

The Whisky Tasting, sponsored by ImPex Beverages and in partnership with Four Seasons Liquors in Hadley, will be hosted by Jay Cole who created his alter ego named “The Whisky Pirate.”

“Jay is an incredibly knowledgeable presenter with a striking presence thanks to a magnificent pirate’s beard that is braided down to his waist. He will take participants on a tour of the different whisky regions in Scotland and discuss their flavor

differences and distilling techniques. Of course, this is a tasting and there will be flights to try,” Langmore said. Tasting sessions are at 11 a.m., 1 and 3 p.m. Advance tickets are $30 and available online at glasgowlands.org or day-of at the Celtic Pub. Tasting tickets do not include festival entry which must be purchased separately.

In addition to Scottish drinks, there will be plenty tastes of Scotland from food vendors offering meat pies and bridies, homemade shortbread, fish and chips, and more. For those less adventurous, there will be the usual fair food such as hamburgers, hot dogs, French fries, fried dough, any other treats. Also, over 20 merchant vendors will offer a variety of Scottish and other items for sale from kilts to jewelry and from bagpipes to clothing.

“There will even be plenty to do for ‘wee lads and lassies’ at our festival,” Langmore said.

The Water Spray Park will be open and the train will be

‘Empress of Soul’ to play Farewell Tour

Gladys Knight will take stage at Symphony Hall on Saturday

By K eith O ’C onnor Special to The Republican

Known as the “Empress of Soul,” Gladys Knight, minus the Pips, will bring her Farewell Tour to Springfield Symphony Hall on Saturday.

Showtime for the MGM Springfield-sponsored event is 8 p.m.

Knight, 78, one of the most influential soul and R&B voices for more than half a century, is a seven-time Grammy winner who has enjoyed No. 1 hits in pop, gospel, R&B and adult contemporary. She has also made a name for herself in film, television and live performance.

She has received numerous accolades throughout her career. In addition to Grammys, she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and received the “Lifetime Achievement Award” at the annual

running for a fee. Kids can also participate in their own Children’s Highland Games - rope pull, caber toss, Haggis toss, sack race - from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. next to the Water Spray area. Always a favorite at the festival, young participants can step up to a loom and do some weaving with the Spinners and Weaver’s Guild of Springfield.

While most vendors leave the event around 5 p.m., the festival continues with closing ceremonies at 5:30 p.m. and

BET Awards ceremony in 2004. Gladys Knight & The Pips were inducted into the Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall of Fame in 1966 and were presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame in 1997. In 2021, Knight was awarded the National Medal of the Arts, the highest honor given to artists and art patrons by the United States Government, followed in 2022 by President Joe Biden presenting her with the Kennedy Center Honors.

Born in Georgia, Knight began performing gospel music at age four in the Mount Mariah Baptist Church and sang as a guest soloist with the Morris Brown College Choir. Three years later, she won the grand prize on television’s “Ted Mack’s Amateur Hour,” and the following year, her mother Elizabeth Knight created The Pips consisting of Gladys, her brother Bubba, her sister Brenda and her cousins William and Elenor Guest.

In 1959, Brenda and Elenor left the group, replaced by

entertainment in the Celtic Pub until 8:30 p.m.

Tickets at the gate are $25 and $5 for children ages 6-12. Advance tickets online at glasgowlands.org are $22 for adults and $5 for kids with fees added at checkout.

In addition to performing with The Pips, Knight recorded multiple tunes and albums that topped the R&B charts including “Good Woman,” “Men” and “Just for You.” Her latest effort, “Where My Heart Belongs,” was a jazz-related gospel music album released in 2014. Her last album with the Pips, “All Our Love” containing the hit song “Love Overboard,” was released in 1987 and was certified gold

When it comes to beer, sometimes less is more

I’VE BEEN TRYING TO lose weight and become a little more fit, and for me that meant cutting back on beer for a little while.

As everyone knows, alcohol equals empty calories. There is also the additional havoc it can wreak on your blood sugar, causing you to snack on carbs after a few beers. So I have been keeping my beer intake in check for a few months. So far, so good.

I have done this in the past, but this recent bit of discipline also opened my eyes to another possible benefit: I’m enjoying each individual beer more. It’s axiomatic that we appreciate things that are rarer, and sometimes take for granted the things that are commonplace. So it makes sense that if we deny (or restrict) our consumption of a product, our minds might treasure that product more.

For example, you can only get Trader Joe’s Candy Cane Joe-Joes (a delicious cookie) during the holiday season. This makes them a real treat when November and December roll around. The same goes for heirloom tomatoes or corn on the cob in summer. There are plenty of other examples, but you get my point.

I also have noticed that my palate seems to have a renewed sense of purpose. I think this is because if you drink a lot of different styles, your palate can become fatigued in one way, but if you tend to hammer home one style (like IPAs, for example), your taste buds can get beaten down in a different sort of way.

But if you have, say, two IPAs on Thursday, then take a

‘Insidious: The Red Door’: The ghost of jump scares past

By Jason Z inoman New York Times

“Insidious,” whose fifth installment opened last week, is a second-tier horror franchise — it’s not even the best James Wan franchise starring Patrick Wilson, which would be “The Conjuring” — with a few elite jump scares, including one of the best in the genre.

‘INSIDIOUS: THE RED DOOR’

Rated: PG-13 for explicit violins and implicit violence

break until you have a pilsner or two on Sunday, both the low number of beers and the break between drinking them allows for a deeper engagement and appreciation with each beer. At least that has seemed to be the case with me over the past few months.

Of course, this might not be true for everyone. As I have said many times over the years, everyone’s palate is different and everyone’s palate changes over time. Maybe this phenomenon is just something that is happening during this “beer diet” period for me and won’t happen in the future.

But if any readers engage in any sort of similar beer intake reduction experiments, I’d be interested to hear if you experience anything like I describe here. Hit me up at geolenker@yahoo.com.

Beer note

I had to laugh when my pal Ray sent me the recent story about FOX host Larry Kudlow claiming that President Biden’s climate policies would soon force Americans to drink “plant-based” beer.

I know a few beers incorporate animal products into the recipe (like oyster stout), but aside from those rare specialty types of brews, I’m not sure what kind of beer Mr. Kudlow has been drinking.

Running time: 1 hour 47 minutes

Playing at: Regal MGM Springfield; Cinemark Enfield, Hampshire Mall, West Springfield

In the original in 2010, Lorraine Lambert (Barbara Hershey) is telling her son, Josh (Wilson), about a horrible dream when a red-faced demon suddenly appears behind his head. It’s a magnificent shock because of the askew blocking, the patient misdirection of the editing and Hershey’s committed performance.

In “Insidious: The Red Door,” a grim, workmanlike effort that collapses into woo-woo nonsense, Wilson makes his directorial debut, and demonstrates he grasps the importance of that jump scare, which is sketched in charcoal on paper next to his name in the opening credits. But that reference is also a reminder of what’s missing.

The movie begins nine years after the second “Insidious” at the funeral of Lorraine, and its first scare, a nicely oblique if relatively simple one, once again takes place above her son’s head. Josh’s memory has been scrubbed in the previous film but nags at him,

and Wilson doesn’t move the camera from his own face inside a car as he goes through an array of emotions while texting his son Dalton (Ty Simpkins). This prickly relationship is at the center of the movie, as dad drives his son to college. They share the family curse, a habit of being visited by evil figures from another realm called the Further. (Think the Upside Down

from “Stranger Things.”)

As has become cliché, trauma takes center stage, with characters mouthing lines like, “We need to remember even the things that hurt” — which is at least better than pretentious small talk like “Death floods the mind with memory.”

The leaden screenplay would be easier to overlook

3 outstanding, affordable Provence rosés

I’M ALMOST RELUCtant to recommend these three outstanding rosé wines from France’s Provence region.

Part of that has to do with how perfect they are for this time of year.

Nothing tastes better than a chilled roséwine on a hot summer day.

But that’s also part of the problem with these wines. They have been pigeonholed

into a specific, narrow box reserved for summer wines. What a shame.

Worst of all, they’re not alone.

So many great wines only get the attention they deserve in certain specific situations.

Red zinfandels perfect with steak.

Spanish sparkling wines ideal before dinner.

Five New Zealand sauvignon blancs tailormade for oysters.

See what I mean?

We’ve all read these articles. Heck, I’ve written a few of them.

But deep down, I firmly believe that a great wine tastes great, period.

It doesn’t matter if you have them on a hot summer day or a cold winter night. Or if you have them with salmon or steak or Slim Jims. Great wine is a great wine.

Sure, most red wines definitely taste better when it’s cooler. And big, hearty ones can tackle the earthy, complex flavors of many meat dishes. But you can just as well enjoy a great red wine on its own almost any day of the year – just probably not this week. It’s supposed to be another hot

one in Western Mass.

So why am I saying all of this? Because if you don’t feel like opening these rosé wines this week, don’t worry. You can enjoy them any time of year.

I know some of you are probably tired of hearing me beat this drum. I’ve been raving about Provence rosés ever since I spent a week in France’s Provence region tasting hundreds of them for this wine column.

But I honestly can’t say enough great things about them. Provence rosés are outstanding, versatile, affordable wines – something that seems even more rare these days. All three wines recommended this week cost less than $30 a bottle, including one that costs less than $17.

Hope you enjoy.

Quick technical note

In my opinion, one of the reasons why Provence rosé wines taste so great has to do with blending. By law, Provence rosé wines must be made with a blend of at least two grapes. Grenache is the most popular grape used to make Provence rosé

wines. The other four grapes often blended with grenache to make these wines are cinsault, mourvedre, syrah and tibouren. So my advice is keep these wines chilled and don’t add any ice to these wines if possible so they don’t lose any of their subtle flavors. Ok, enough wine nerd talk. Let’s get to the wines!

• 2022 Chateau De Berne Romance Rosé ($16.99 Suggested Retail Price)

Region: Provence, France

Grapes: 40% grenache noir, 30% cinsault, 15% syrah, 15% merlot

Tasting notes: Cheesy name, great wine. The first thing I noticed about this wine is its aroma – like a field of wildflowers with a breeze blowing through it. And that is even before the first sip, which is filled with flinty hints of sea salt, strawberry and a dash of melon and peach. Everything about this wine is crisp, clean, refreshing and delicious.

• 2022 Ultimate Provence Rosé ($23.99 SRP)

this wine’s flavors are lighter than air and merely hint at dashes of sea salt, melon and fresh peaches. The best word to describe this wonderful wine is tender. I would also add gentle and sublime.

• 2022 BY OTT Cotes de Provence Rosé ($27 SRP)

Region: Provence, France

Grapes: 58% grenache, 30% cinsault, 10% syrah, 2% mourvedre

Region: Provence, France

Grapes: 30% syrah, 30% grenache noir, 30% cinsault, 10% rolle

Tasting notes: Made with grapes grown near the chic seaside town of Saint Tropez (it’s beautiful in the fall after the hordes of tourists leave),

Tasting notes: I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Domaine Ott, which I visited in 2019 as part of my Provence wine-tasting trip. Located nearSaint Tropez on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea, this winery’s wines perfectly capture this unique sense of place. You can practically taste the salty sea air in this crisp, mineral-like wine. There are also hints of peach, cherry blossoms and that wonderful sea air. The perfect wine for a perfect summer afternoon – or frankly any day of the year.

Cheers!

‘Cell-cultivated’ meats making their debut

IT WAS JUST A COUPLE of years ago that plant-based “meats” were being touted as game-changers for the restaurant business. Products like The Impossible Burger, along with “chicken,” “sausage,” and even “shrimp” fabricated from plant proteins, were turning up on chain menus everywhere. After an early flurry of interest, however,

“ethical” and good for the environment.

consumers began responding to those innovations with a definite “ho-hum.”

Now a second type of meat replacement is making its debut. Last month the Food and Drug Administration approved “cell-cultivated” meat for sale in the U.S.

Unlike their meat replacement predecessors, cell-cultivated meats are true animal protein, not plant-based substitutes. The meat is “grown” in factory settings with no animal-raising or slaughtering involved, and those promoting the process hail it as both

Two companies currently have a cell-cultivated chicken product ready for market, and celebrity chefs on both coasts have committed to serving the lab-grown chicken in their respective restaurants.

As is the case with any newly-introduced (and extensively hyped) food innovation, cell-cultivated meat might face some problems in gaining widespread acceptance.

First, there’s what might be termed the “ick” factor, as consumers come to terms with eating meat that’s produced in a lab rather than

having been raised on a farm. The product is also expected to be, for the foreseeable future at least, significantly more expensive than “natural” chicken.

Moreover, proponents of cell-cultivated meat like to promote it as being good for the environment. A number of skeptics, however, point out that the current lab production techniques require pharmaceutical-grade raw materials, the carbon footprint of which is considerably greater than that of traditional agriculture.

At least for now, cell-cultured meat products look to remain a curiosity rather than a restaurant-industry game changer.

controversy with its plan to add a 99-cent “order processing fee” to online orders placed at restaurants using its software package.

Toast currently services more that 85,000 restaurants, all of which pay a fee for using Toast’s software.

Toast claims the new customer-targeted surcharge, which will apply to orders larger than $10, is “designed to keep restaurants’ costs down while also funding ongoing innovation in restaurant technology.” Neither customers nor restaurants using Toast’s software package can “opt out” of the fee.

Although Toast reported revenues of $2.7 billion in 2022, the company has yet to post a profit. Industry observers suggest the new fee may be more about Toast’s need to stem the flow of financial-statement red ink rather than to “fund innovation.”

In any case, many restaurant patrons will soon find a new “junk fee” tacked onto their online order.
