GRANITE vIEWS JODY REESE
Cafe confusionaccino I’m not good at ordering from a chain. It flusters me. I can’t quite get the lingo; at the drive-through I’m the guy asking for a few extra minutes to look at the menu and at the counter I’m trying to figure out what it all means. It’s fast food but I get those looks that I know mean I’m going too slow. And then I can’t bring myself to use the funny names. What’s a Venti? Baconator (which by the way is 940 calories, I checked on the Internet)? Can’t I just have a cheeseburger or large coffee? For those like me, Hippo has a handy coffee ordering guide on page 19. For example, if you want a chocolaty coffee drink, Dunkin’ calls it a Dunkaccino while Starbucks calls it a Cafe Mocha. It might be my age, but I much prefer the seated dining experience (and not seated in my car) or at the very least someplace without the “hurry up” pressure. It gives me time to look over the menu and consider what I’m in the mood for. I can get an opinion from the staff. This week’s cover story is about a simple drink. It’s just water and some dried beans and yet in its simplicity it’s a tough drink to get right. It can have many flavors (and sizes, like Venti — that’s Italian for large, right?), but at its core it’s about extracting the best flavors from a bean. That’s the allure of coffee to me and that makes creating a good cup of joe all that much harder. There’s very little to hide behind (unless, of course, you add a pump of this and shot of that). It surprised me that coffee comes from the Middle East and specifically Ethiopia. For some reason I thought it was one of those New World foods, like tomatoes or tobacco. But no, coffee was brought over here in the 1700s and flourished as an American drink. Apparently America runs on the stuff. Laconia will be coffee Ground Zero this weekend (Sept. 14) with its first ever coffee festival from 1 to 5 p.m. The festival is really about local coffee roasters and coffee makers (see the article on page 17). The local food movement has been in the makings since the late 1960s and it’s finally gaining real traction, from places roasting their own coffee beans to micro-distilleries making small-batch locally sourced and produced liquor. Good things take a while to develop. I’m just glad that our only options aren’t the Ventis or Dunkinaccinos. While there’s little doubt the chains are here to stay and are going to continue to make me anxious, there are tons of locally grown options. And that is good news.

NEWS & NOTES Lynch is back
Former Gov. John Lynch rejoined the University System of New Hampshire’s Board of Trustees. Lynch, who served four terms in the corner office, served as the board’s chairman before taking over the governorship. Lynch will replace lobbyist and former Senate President Edward Dupont. “Higher education faces many challenges, including shifting student demographics and the integration of new technologies enabling students to gain a quality education at reduced cost,” Lynch said. “I am excited to rejoin the board, focused on making sure our public schools of higher education continue to move forward as strong leaders in maintaining and expanding a highly educated workforce, committed to the success of our state.” Gov. Maggie Hassan nominated Lynch for the post, which was unanimously approved by the Executive Council.
No more salmon
Just two years ago biologists were optimistic the federal Atlantic salmon restoration program on the Merrimack River was turning a corner. That optimism is gone. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was expected to announce last week that the Merrimack River Atlantic Salmon restoration program will be shut down. For 38 years, biologists have stocked millions of salmon fry throughout the watershed in hopes of restoring historic salmon runs. In 2011, more than 400 salmon returned to the river to spawn, creating excitement that the program was finally working. Returning salmon are picked up at the Essex dam in Lawrence each year and taken to the hatchery in Nashua to allow biologists to maximize their breeding potential. But returns declined the following year and this year just 22 fish returned. Instead, biologists will focus efforts on improving American shad returns on the Merrimack River. In recent years, a salmon restoration program was shut down on the Connecticut River as well. The only active salmon restoration program now takes place
on the Saco River in Maine. According to an Eagle Tribune article, New Hampshire’s brood stock salmon program will also end, since the program relied on salmon that were released into rivers after biologists harvested eggs.
CONCORD
gOP women leaders
State Reps. Laurie Sanborn, R-Bedford, and Marilinda Garcia, R-Salem, participated in the Republican State Leadership Committee’s 2013 “Right Women, Right Now” summit in Nashville earlier this week. Sanborn is the GOP policy leader in the House. The two were set to join about 30 elected officials from across the country to strategize on how to identify, train and support women to run for state office.
Another run for Bass?
Fresh off a loss to Rep. Anne McLane Kuster in the 2012 election, former longtime congressman Charlie Bass said he is considering challenging U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen in 2014. Bass, who served seven terms in the U.S. House, told the Concord Monitor he’s considering a run following Senate Majority Leader Jeb Bradley’s decision to opt out of major races in 2014. Antigambling activist and former state senator Jim Rubens and conservative activist Karen Testerman are also exploring running. Also, state Rep. Pam Tucker, R-Greenland, told WMUR Political Scoop last week she’s considering running against U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter in 2014.

The days of long security check lines at airports, coupled with removing shoes, belts and jackets, aren’t exactly over, but frequent flyers will soon be able to enjoy a new expedited screening program at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. The airport was recently selected to participate in TSA’s Pre√™ program, which lets eligible passengers leave on shoes, light outerwear and a

belt; keep laptops in cases; and keep compliant liquids and gels in a carry-on bag. “As the TSA continues to move away from a one-size-fitsall approach to transportation security, we are looking for more opportunities to provide the most effective security in the most efficient way possible,” TSA Administrator John S. Pistole said. “Expanding TSA Pre√™ to more locations enables many more passengers across the country to experience expedited screening.”
About 40 airports nationally participate in the program, and TSA recently announced another 60 would be taking part going forward, including Manchester. Manchester airport officials have been working closely with local TSA officials, as well as officials in Washington, to remain in the conversation for this new program, said J. Brian O’Neill, deputy airport director. “I think it’s certainly going to benefit our most frequent flying business travelers, who have been looking for expedit-
ed screening in Manchester,” O’Neill said. O’Neill couldn’t say exactly when the new program would be operational in Manchester, but officials are already developing a special security screening lane for travelers taking part in the program. “Those passengers will have their own special lane where they will be able to bypass the queue for other passengers,” O’Neill said. Eligible passengers include U.S. citizens of frequent traveler programs invited by participating airlines and U.S. citizens who are members of a U.S. Customs and Border Protection Trusted Traveler program. TSA will launch an application program later this year. “I think this is just another program that shows that TSA is moving toward a risk-based security screening process,” O’Neill said. Eligible passengers traveling on Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Hawaiian Airlines, United Airlines, US Airways and Virgin America may receive expedited screening benefits. JetBlue and Southwest are expected to begin participating when operationally ready, according to a press release.
Muzzle it
New city ordinance would require muzzles and control of “vicious” dogs By Jeff Mucciarone
jmucciarone@hippopress.com
085203
Hippo | September 12 - 18, 2013 | page 6
Under state law, if a dog bites a person or another dog, the dog’s owner must pay a $100 fine. That’s it, case closed. Manchester Alderman Pat Long is aiming to change that. He has championed a new city ordinance that would create specific steps that owners of vicious dogs must take. It’s not necessarily that dog bite incidents are on the rise,
but the way the city deals with those incidents now isn’t always resulting in any change in behavior regarding owners and their dogs. Long said state law related to dogbite incidents didn’t have a lot of teeth to it. “Subsequent to being found guilty of the vicious dog statute, there’s not much we can do,” said Manchester Police Lt. Maureen Tessier. “If your dog bites somebody and you get convicted under state law, you pay a $100 fine and that’s the end of it.
There’s no recourse to do anything more than that.” If the new ordinance is enacted, the city would require owners to take a series of steps to try to ensure it doesn’t happen again, Tessier said. The ordinance would call for vicious-dog owners to “control” their dogs at all times and would require owners to muzzle and leash their dogs in public. The ordinance, which is scheduled to go before an aldermanic committee in the beginning of October and
then on to the full board, would require vicious-dog owners: to keep their dog physically restrained on private property with appropriate fencing; to spay or neuter their dog; to identify their dog with a microchip; and to file documentation with the city. Owners would be banned from taking their dogs to any “off leash” dog park in the city. “At least if this is happening, then the owner needs to do these things now,” Tessier said.
it stands now, unless the victim brought a civil suit forward, essentially nothing would happen, and no record would be established. This ordinance would change that. “Every bite is required to be reported [under the proposed ordinance],” Long said. Animal Control officers would investigate each incident and determine whether it was a vicious attack. If Animal Control deems the dog vicious, the dog owner would either comply with the ordinance or challenge it in court, Long said. Even without the ordinance, there are circumstances where a dog can be deemed vicious and out of control to the point where Animal Control officers can seize the animal. Then, the matter goes before a judge, who could have the dog put the dog to sleep. That won’t change under the ordinance, and Tessier said judges often impose similar guidelines for vicious dog owners as the new ordinance would prescribe.
Cool invention
Bracelet, dog collar could prevent heat emergencies By Jeff Mucciarone
jmucciarone@hippopress.com
Michael Allsup sees it every year. The temperatures start to rise in the summer time, and soon, a series of news stories follow related to parents leaving children or pets in the car. Sometimes people knowingly leave their kids in the car while they run in to the grocery store; other times a sleeping baby is forgotten in the back seat. Last year, Allsup saw a story where a police dog died from overheating in a police car, and Allsup decided enough was enough. “There’s got to be a way to develop technology … that alerts you when your child is in a hot car, or your pet,” Allsup said. So Allsup began working on an idea he calls the Guardian Angel Project. Allsup is working on a bracelet for kids and a collar for pets that would transmit a signal if the child or pet reaches a certain temperature threshold. If a parent leaves a kid in the car, the bracelet would monitor the child’s temperature. Once the temperature reaches a certain threshold, it would automatically transmit a text or a call to the person’s cell phone alerting them. If the parent doesn’t respond within a certain period of time, the bracelet would then transmit a signal to emergency responders, Allsup said. “Nobody thinks it’s going to happen to them … but this is just a chance to
stop things from happening by accident,” Allsup said. “Honestly, I truly feel that this can change the world and that it’s going to save lives.” Allsup, who used to work for the Red Cross in Concord, now resides in Dover. He’s originally from Texas, but also spent time in California and Iowa. Allsup said he and his team are working with veterinarians and pediatricians to develop the appropriate temperature thresholds for pets and children. The idea would be for dogs and children to wear the collar or bracelet all the time. They would be rubber and waterproof. “We’re working on the ergonomics of it,” Allsup said. Allsup said the idea is still in the development stages. The idea was recently accepted into the National Philips Innovation Fellows Competition in Boston. The competition runs through Oct. 1. “It’s one of those things that can save lives,” Allsup said. As part of the competition, Allsup and his team must garner public support through a crowdfunding site called Indiegogo. Allsup has just recently started fundraising. The competition winner receives $60,000. “We’re just trying to get people involved,” Allsup said. “We’re trying to get people to come see this. We’re hoping this creates something the whole world uses.” Visit indiegogo.com.

Long, who said he expects the ordinance to pass, said a few residents came forward regarding recent incidents where dogs had attacked other dogs, as well as a couple incidents where children were bitten. For at least one of the dogs, it wasn’t its first incident, Long said. Tessier said her understanding was some residents have been frustrated that after such incidents happened, nothing changed. Under state law, a dog is considered to be a nuisance, a menace or vicious if the dog is “at large,” if it snaps, growls or runs after people or vehicles not on the owner’s property, or if it bites or attacks other animals or people. As the law stands now, if the dog bites someone or another dog within 12 months of the first incident, the fine jumps to $400. But again, that’s it, Tessier said. The new ordinance might also help Animal Control officers create a record of offenders. Any attack would go on the dog’s license record, Long said. As

Cory Joyce makes debut at New Hampshire Motor Speedway Gilford native Cory Joyce will be able to show his supporters how far he’s come when he makes his NASCAR debut at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Saturday, Sept. 21, in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East. Joyce, who lives in North Carolina now, will be competing for JMI Motorsports, with backing from the Caplin Family Charities.
Q:
What are your thoughts on debuting?
It’s actually going to be an amazing race for us starting out. It’s nice to be the underdog, but also to have the home crowd come watch me debut. When did you find out you’d be debuting here? A few weeks ago. We’ve been waiting to do this for a couple years. … It finally came through. How did you first get interested in racing? I was probably 7 years old [and] I went to watch a buddy of mine race go-karts. ... My dad asked me if it was something I wanted to do. At 7 years old, I was scared to do anything motorized, but I really had no fear from the first time I set foot in it. ... I started out in Weare.

Courtesy photo. And then my first late model win at the Hickory Motor Speedway. ... From what I’m coming from, you’ve just got to try to make it on talent and find one sponsor that loves you and wants to stick with you.
Can you describe what’s going through your head when a race is about to start? It’s definitely a rush. You have to keep calm And you never looked back? at those moments. You can’t get too hopped up Never stopped ever since. or you’ll overdrive and you’ll be missing everyWhat is it about racing that you love so where. It’s like taking a big test for school.

Make your primary care provider a regular part of your life.
My dad said “ouch,” because of the wallet, but he loves every minute of it. He eats, sleeps and breathes racing. He is more excited than I am [about his debuting in New Hampshire]. He’s shaking in his boots. My mom, she’s just amazing for putting up with me all those years. I’m just glad to have a supportive family stand-
Year in and year out, your primary care provider sees the changes that happen in you. There’s value in that consistency: a strong relationship with a primary care provider can act as a foundation for treatment should you develop a health-related issue. See your primary care provider regularly and enjoy greater support for a healthy life.

Favorite Book: True Speed: My Racing Life by Tony Stewart Favorite Movie: Every racer is going to say Days of Thunder. Favorite band or type of music: Country. I like the oldies: George Strait, Hank Williams, Garth Brooks. Favorite Food: Chicken is about all I eat. I was on a fried chicken kick, but I couldn’t keep doing it. It’s too greasy. So now I’m on the grilled chicken side. Favorite thing about NH: The scenery. I love Weirs Beach.
Who are your racing idols? I’d have to say Dale Earnhardt Sr. His driving style. He’d use the lap cars as a wall. His car control and handling — it was amazing. Jeff Gordon is one of them. Tony Stewart, he’s a person who could step inside any race car … and he could win in it. [He said reading Stewart’s book served as inspiration for him, since he went through a lot of the same tough times.] How do you stay in shape? I go to the gym here and there and I work out a bunch. I … mountain bike. The summer sun in North Carolina keeps me in shape. What do you do in between races? I work a lot. ... I work at a local shop around here. I like to fish. I like to play with my dogs. Just a typical 21-year-old. I go out on the lake and have fun, wakeboard. ... I love getting out on my bass boat. — Jeff Mucciarone

According to a new report by the U.S. Census, New Hampshire’s divorce rate is slightly higher for men and slightly lower for women, compared to the national average. The national divorce rate was 9.2 for men and 9.7 for women, while in New Hampshire the rate was 10.1 for men and 9.6 for women, according to the report, which was based on 2009 statistics. The Northeast region, which had the lowest divorce rates overall, had divorce rates of 7.2 for men and 7.5 for women. Maine had a 13.0 divorce rate for men and a 9.1 rate for women. The South had the highest divorce rates, with an average rate of 10.2 per 1,000 people for men and 11.1 per 1,000 for women. QOL Score: 0 Comment: “Divorce rates tend to be higher in the South because marriage rates are also higher in the South,” said Diana Elliott, a family demographer at the Census Bureau. “In contrast, in the Northeast, first marriages tend to be delayed and the marriage rates are lower, meaning there are also fewer divorces.”

Eagle eyes on Chip Kelly
Two things jump out for the beginning of the 2013 NFL season. First, the big local story is Chip Kelly taking over in Philadelphia as the first head coach in the NFL with ties to New Hampshire since legendary Scooter Mclean went from the not so legendary football program at Saint Anselm to lead the Green Bay Packers in the years right before Vince Lombardi turned Green Bay into Title Town, U.S.A. It’s going to be interesting to see if his uptempo, offense-first game translates to the NFL, which prior to Jim Harbaugh has been pretty rough on former college coaches. One thing I’m pretty sure about: That style is a boon for Michael Vick. The second is Rex Ryan’s amazingly fast fall from grace after being the toast of the town in New York his first two years as coach. Then, they loved his brash ways, but all that’s being thrown back at him now as he’s getting the Bobby V treatment by the astonishingly hypocritical New York media. It doesn’t matter he had a bad GM who couldn’t do a thing about the team getting old because he screwed up the salary cap. Or that said GM used the sixth overall pick a few years back on Mark Sanchez. Sanchez was at the center of the latest hoo-ha after getting hurt when Rex put him back into the fourth quarter of a pre-season game with the G-Men. The media went into a frenzy over Rex’s “incompetence” for putting him in with the scrubs, even though these are the same guys who’ve been saying for a year, “ANYONE at QB besides Sanchez.” But he gets hurt and it’s like Joe Namath went down. Oh well, such is life in the Apple when things go wrong. But it does make it a lock that if Rex survives past this year as the HC of NYJs, it’ll be the biggest upset of 2013. They are in Foxboro on Thursday night, Sept. 12, so we’ve
The SiTe of
seen the lunacy up close all week. Those stories aside, here are some others to keep an eye as the season unfolds. Seven TD passes from Peyton Manning on opening day — wow! Guess those who said he’d never be the same after those neck surgeries were wrong. But he did only throw for a mere 12 yards more than little bro Eli did in Week 1 after all. Of course with ELI throwing for 450 yards the Manning boys had 912 yards between them. Speaking of the Mannings, I stumbled on this factoid the other day: Family scion Archie was a mind-boggling 35-101-3 as an NFL starter. And it wasn’t just with the always horrible Saints either. He was 0-8 with Houston and 0-2 with Minnesota. I know he played on crappy teams, but that one stunned me. That’s not the first seven-TD-pass game I’ve seen. Y. A. Tittle did it vs. the Redskins in the first NFL game I ever saw. That was in 1962, when all home games were blacked out within 75 miles of Yankee Stadium. So my neighbor climbed up on the roof and aimed the TV antenna over Long Island Sound to pick it up from a CBS station in New Haven. It was on a black and white TV before cable, so the picture was barely visible. Ah, the good old days. Week 1 Tally: Wes Welker had 10 catches, 67 yards, 2 TDs. Danny Amendola had 10 catches, 104 yards, no TDs. Slight Week 1 edge goes to Danny for being huge in the final drive after aggravating his strained groin. Is it time to start wondering if the Lions Calvin Johnson is comparable to Jerry Rice as the best wide receiver of all time? He fell just 36 yards shy of 2,000 receiving yards a year ago with an all-time singleseason record of 1,964. OK, maybe it’s a little early, but he’s getting there. No sacks for the Pats in Week 1 — not a good sign. I’m still not giving up on you, Tim Tebow, but for, uh, god’s sake, would
you please go to Canada and show everyone that winners win no matter what the stats or end-over-end passes look like? One more thing: Dump the throwing consultants, ’cause they’re messing you up. If a swing guru can turn Tiger Woods into a slug for three whole years, they can mess up anyone. I know a lot of people are, but I’m not sold on Atlanta or Matt Ryan. NFL Alumni Update: Anyone out know that the middle name for Terrell Owens is Eldorado? Wonder if he got that because his parents were big fans of the John Wayne flick of the same name. With Terrelle Pryor winning the job in Oakland, that’s the second year in a row Matt Flynn was traded to a team to be their starter and then got beat out in training camp. Can’t say I’ve ever seen that happen. Speaking of Pryor, does anyone know if a quarterback has ever led the NFL in rushing yards? After Week 1 his 112 are at the top of the rushing leaders. I thought Ron Jaworski needed to pump the brakes a bit when he said this summer Colin Kaepernick could be an all-time great after just six regular-season starts. But after he destroyed the Packers again — this time with his arm by throwing for 412 yards and three TDs — Jaws will be in full drool this week. As much as I enjoy watching the read option, with RG III not making it through his first season, I think the rest of those guys are eventually going to get killed doing it too. What? No Super Bowl prediction from Rex this year? Mine is Seattle meeting Denver. Rooting for the C-hawks ’cause I love Russell Wilson’s game and I’ll always root against John Elway for dumping Tebow as he did. Email Dave Long at dlong@hippopress. com.
Great Events in Manchester
City Gets Back To Normal After 9-11 Attacks
Everyone, both locally and around the world, was in mourning after the shocking attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon by terrorists loyal to Osama Bin Laden on 9-11. Almost all activity around the nation had been put on hold in wake of the national tragedy, but it was now Friday and folks were trying to get back on even keel. That included the high school sports schedule, which was starting up again in the Queen City after three days of postponements. The action began when Memorial bested Pinkerton to stay undefeated with a 3-1 win in NHIAA soccer action thanks to goals from Kim Niedwicki, Ashley Joyce and Megan Dalrymple. The Crusader football team was on the road at Spaulding where they brought home a 14-0 victory behind TD’s from Ben Monohan and Eric Egdorf. But the event that attracted the first large local gathering since the surreal events from the previous Tuesday took place at Gill Stadium. It was a clash between Central and Trinity, which in the end, wasn’t much of a game in football terms. The Green rolled to a 50-8 route behind two touchdown days from QB Tim Day and Sloan Russert, who ran for 108 yards on just 8 carries in his first varsity game. But it was actually so much more. It was a statement from the Manchester community that America is unstoppable and no matter what, life will go on – which it did and that’s what really made that night at Gill one of Manchester’s great events of all time. 086175

El Dorado: Umpteenth Western in the film career of John Wayne that was basically the same movie as Rio Bravo, which he starred in seven years earlier. All they did was swap Robert Mitchum for Dean Martin as the alcohol-soaked ex-gunfighter and a young James Caan (Mississippi) for Ricky Nelson (Colorado) as the young’n named after a state who helps justice prevail. This one had Mr. Grant (Ed Asner) as the bad guy. If you have to take one, go with Bravo, which also had the va-va voom Angie Dickenson in her glory days. Scooter McLean: Saint Anselm football and basketball star in the days of the two-hand set shot. Played eight years with da Bears in the ’40s, when they were NFL champs four times. Was an all-around threat playing in Chicago, where he ran for 412 career yards, caught 103 passes, and scored 21 TDs with 18 interceptions on D. He also was the place kicker, and may best be remembered these days for being the last guy to score on a drop kick before Doug Flutie did it for the Pats in 2006. After the playing career he eventually wound up as HC of the GBPs, where his replacement upon resigning in 1958 was the great Vince Lombardi. Y.A. Tittle: Now 86-year-old Hall of Fame QB who looked older than that during his playing days with the 49ers and later the G-Men in the ’50s and ’60s. Set the NFL record for TD passes in a single season after taking over full time in 1962 from Charlie Conerly in NYC with 33. Broke it again in ’63 when he went for 36 in the Giants’ 11-3 campaign that took them to the title game with Chicago. They lost that one 14-10 on a bitter cold day when he threw five picks while gamely playing after his ALC got shredded early on. After the wheels feel off in ’64 he retired with a most ever to that point 242 career TD passes. Real name was Yelberton Abraham and the nickname for the nickname was YAT. Now you know why they called him Y.A.

Coming-of-Age Win of the Week: How about stepping-up-to-D-I Bedford knocking off Pinkerton 14-12 on Friday night? And they had to come from behind to do it, as they trailed 12-7 before Dan Colella hit to Nick Vailas with a 25-yard TD pass mid-way through the fourth quarter and then held on for the impressive win. Sports 101: Who holds the Red Sox team record for grand slams in a season? Fantasy Player of the Week: Don’t know if anyone plays a high school version of fantasy football, but the star for the week would have been Trinity’s Carmen Giampetruzzi. He destroyed Portsmouth with the kind of day you, well, read about, by accounting for six TDs — two running, four passing — as he was 11 for 13 for 358 yards in a 58-37 slugfest. Oh, and he also had time to pick off a pass on defense. Nick of Tyme Award: To Emily Duchesne for ending the endless double-overtime soccer match between Manchester Central and Nashua North with a goal halfway into the final period to make the Green 2-1 winners. Sarah Thompson put home the other Central score, while Sarah Swallow scored for North.

There are plenty of reasons why coffee is the world’s second-most traded commodity, and I’m one of them. I’m no coffee snob — I’ll drink lukewarm, day-old coffee, if it comes to that. I often wonder how I got through the first two decades of my life not knowing about the power of a hot cup of joe. Before my morning fuel, I look and feel like a complete hag: my eyes droop, my back slouches, my feet drag behind me, and to top it off, I’m a total grouch. If I need some oomph later on in the day, I’ll choose a cup of coffee over a snack. I’m not the only coffee addict here at the Hippo. A few of my co-workers are loyal Dunkin’s drinkers. (One boasts that the workers at the Dunkin’ Donuts down the street know her and her order by heart.) Another makes a daily stop at Cumberland Farms for a 99-cent any-size cup. Some opt for K-Cups and others go for drip brew, both made here at the office with our two coffee makers. We are not unique; the Specialty Coffee Association of America reports that about 40 percent of 18- through 24-year-olds and 54 percent of people age 25 through 39 drink Hippo | September 12 - 18, 2013 | page 14
coffee daily. Coffee is an affordable luxury, said A&E Coffee Roastery’s Emeran Langmaid. “You can have a great cup of coffee for only a few dollars,” she said. Jim Whitney from J. Dubs thinks the world-wide devotion is partly to do with its consistency. “Coffee perks you up. … Life’s tough enough, but every day, you know that you’re going to get a coffee and a couple of minutes to enjoy and sip before the day attacks you,” Whitney said. True Brew Barista’s Stephanie Zinser thinks so, too. “It’s not just the coffee itself. It’s the process of making it yourself or going somewhere and getting it. It’s the ritual of coffee, it’s the aroma of coffee,” Zinser said. To me, it’s all delicious.
It started with a dancing goat
Legend has it, coffee was discovered when an Ethiopian goat herder named Kaldi discovered that his goats displayed peculiar behavior after gnawing on the bright red berries that we now know came from coffee plants. His goats became so “spirited,” in fact, that they didn’t want to sleep at night. Kaldi reported his findings to the local
monastery, and soon after, the monks began creating drinks with the berries to help them stay awake during the long hours of evening prayer. While some sources might tell the story a shade differently (National Geographic, for instance, claims that Kaldi ate some of these cherries, too, and that he was soon “frolicking with his herd”), the gist of it is the same. National Geographic also reported that brewed coffee as we know it kicked off in 1000 A.D. in Arabia. It was consumed exclusively there for hundreds of years before it arrived in Europe in the 1600s. From the 16th century onward, Europe’s coffee houses became important political and social institutions. Coffee arrived in the Americas in the 1700s, but United States founding fathers were tea drinkers — until the Boston Tea Party, when Patriots revolted against the British for the newly imposed tax on tea.
Coffee comes to America in waves
In the early years, coffee was, for the most part, roasted and brewed fresh in coffee houses and residential homes. The Industrial Revolution hurt this trend in the late 1800s, when coffee became pre-roasted, pre-packaged, canned and, apparently,

pretty bad by today’s standards. The period that followed this and continued through the end of World War II is what today’s coffee experts call the first of three “waves” of coffee that occurred in the United States in the last century. As true with the legend of Kaldi, there’s

debate among coffee people as to when these waves occurred, but this is what Michaele Weissman, author of God in a Cup, came up with in her book about thirdwave coffee. The second wave, also according to Weissman, occurred between the 1960s and the mid-1990s. It started on the West Coast, which is where a number of coffee-centric northern European immigrants had settled shortly after WWII. From home, they carried with them “old-world knowledge” of coffee roasting, tasting and sourcing, and they thought the West Coast had a market for something that, until then, had primarily been a European luxury. They were right. Coffee giants like Starbucks in Seattle and Peet’s in northern California began their American reign during this time. “That was when everything was full-city roast,” said Claudia Barrett, who recently started CQ Coffee Roasters in Bedford. She’s been in the coffee business since the 1990s and helped open the East Coast’s first Starbucks, in Washington, D.C. “You tasted the roast from beginning to end [of the sip],” she said. This is also when the Specialty Coffee Association of America was founded. (By definition, specialty coffee is coffee that scores an 80 out of 100 or better on the standardized cupping form, a tasting method of measuring the grade or quality of the coffee — but we’ll get to this later.)
The third wave
For the most part, coffee is crisper, cleaner and lighter during the third wave, which reportedly began as a reaction to the industrialization of gourmet coffee in the mid-1990s and continues today. Roasters from the third wave often can tell you where your coffee comes from, how it’s made, and, if you let them, they might even tell you a bit about the farmer himself.

exporter, grew and produced some of the coffee I tasted at the CQ Coffee Roasters cupping a couple of weeks ago.) They’re interested in every step of the process. “We’ve found that paying extra to ensure direct trade … makes all the difference,” Barrett said. “We make sure our importer visits these places several times a year.” The farmer is paid better with direct trade than fair trade, she noted, because direct trade means there’s no middleman. It seems that New Hampshire was a bit slow in picking up on this wave, perhaps because of a mega-chain called Dunkin’ Donuts, or perhaps because we’re a bit oldfashioned in comparison to West Coasters, but we’re catching up. Coffee roasters have been popping up around the state like microbreweries, and coffee products are trending in everything from fudge to popcorn. (For more of these items, check out the New Hampshire Coffee Festival this weekend in the side box.) Brad Fitzgerald, who started Woodshed Roasting Company in Laconia five years ago, makes his own espresso balsamic vinaigrette, which he says tastes great on salads and as steak seasoning. Coffee was simply a hobby before he started the company, but market growth at the time (about 2 percent worldwide) drew him in. “When you’re seeing growth in a down economy, that’s a good thing,” he said.
The cupping experience
“Are you ready to geek out?” Claudia Barrett asked me this as I walked through her garage-turned-roastery, the temporary premises of CQ Coffee Roasters, which is currently between locations. I wasn’t quite sure how to answer her question. Yes, I wanted to “geek out” on coffee knowledge, but I wasn’t sure I knew enough yet to keep up with her coffee-speak. That’s why I was there for the cupping, which is coffee’s equivalent to a wine tasting.

Nothin’ Barrett dropped out of a Ph.D. literature program to pursue a career in coffee, and she talks about coffee the way most people talk about musical theater, using words like “sing,” “dance,” “notes” and “sparkle” to describe coffee’s tastes. During the cupping, Barrett shared a whirlwind of information about coffee’s origins as well as helpful tips for brewing (for instance, grind your beans right before brewing; otherwise, it’s sort of like opening a can of soda and drinking it six days later). Third wave roasters like Barrett know coffee well. They know how it should taste depending on the origin, the processing method — and they all have their own
ways of bringing out the best flavors in each seed. Many roasters like Barrett and Langmaid frequently cup in the purchasing of their green coffee and in the selling of their beans. “The reasons to cup coffee are to assess the quality of the bean in purchasing it to roast … and then we also cup to figure out the profile we want for our customers,” Langmaid said in an interview at the A&E Roastery cafe, where I was also treated to a little tasting. A coffee cupping, I discovered, is kind of like a cross between a science experiment and a wine tasting. In a cupping, you’re testing the fragrance of the coffee; the flavor, aftertaste, acidity, body and

Coffee has become an outlet for artists, too, as demonstrated in A&E Coffee Roastery’s Thursday Night Throwdown, a grassroots coffee industry event series that starts this month at the roastery, 135 Route 101A, Amherst, 578-3338, aeroastery.com. “We started an in-house competition and had so much fun that we knew we wanted to invite other baristas to join us,” owner Emeran Langmaid said in a press release. The first event occurs on Thursday, Sept. 12, from 8 to 10 p.m. Doors open at 8 p.m., at which time there will be a lesson on steaming and pouring.

balance of the coffee; as well as the sweetness, uniformity and cleanliness of the coffee, according to scaa.org. (Of course, I mostly tasted for pleasure.) For professional tasters, or Q Graders (they pass a test to be called this) like Barrett, there’s a lot more to it than you’d think. “There are more than 1,500 aromatic compounds in coffee. There are about 500 in wine. That just tells you the depth, the intensity, of a cup of coffee,” Barrett explained. “Some of us who have been doing this for a while can dial in on certain flavor notes.” We tasted four coffees during the cupping at CQ Coffee Roasters, from Guatemala, Ethiopia, Sumatra and Kenya. Each tasted quite different, in part because of the roast (though, for the most part, Barrett prefers a medium, because she feels it brings out the coffee’s best flavors), but also because of the climate and the processing methods.
Coffee 101: How it’s made
Most people call them coffee beans. Roasters call them seeds, because before it’s processed, roasted and brewed, coffee starts out as a red, cherry-type fruit. After the seeds are picked, they’re washed and fermented, during which time, the sticky bean coating (mucilage) dissolves. Then, the coffee is dried; this can be done on racks or patios, in mechanical dryers or fired with coffee parchment. The wash and dry are done differently in each coffee-growing region (see “Geographical

To prove New Hampshire’s grasp of specialty coffee, local roasters, brewers and retailers will be attending the New Hampshire Coffee Festival this weekend, on Saturday, Sept. 14, from 1 to 5 p.m., in downtown Laconia. “We wanted an avenue to introduce or show the public that there are other options in the state with good, quality coffee than the big stores like Dunkin’s and Starbucks,” said Brad Fitzgerald of Woodshed Roasting Company in Laconia. “There are roasters in your neighborhood, in Dover, Concord, Laconia, Plymouth, Canterbury, everywhere, who need your support more than corporate America.” This free-admission event (sponsored by the Bank of New Hampshire) will house about 30 vendors who celebrate coffee in both expected and unexpected ways. “We’re hoping people will be able to come and sample different beans, different grinds, different brewing methods,
president of the Main Street Initiative of Laconia. “There will be coffee-flavored popcorn, coffee-flavored ice cream, coffee-flavored fudge … coffee-scented soap and coffeescented candles,” Moriarty said. The event also offers a symposium, presented by Barrett, which will explain “everything you want to know about coffee,” Moriarty said; a latte art demonstration by Dan Demers from D Squared Java in Exeter; and the Java games for kids, which includes coffee sack races, a bean bag toss, coffee tic-tac-toe, a coffee coloring contest and more. “This is the first ever retail coffee festival in the state, as far as we know,” Moriarty said. “We’re looking forward to growing next year.”

or nutty, and often contain hints of cherry or blueberry, depending on the way the seeds are processed. • Indonesia and Asia: These are what Barrett calls “Sunday morning paper” coffees, with rich body and herbal, earthy and bittersweet chocolate nutty tones, she said. Sumatra coffee is in that mix. Sumatras are supposed to be earthy, she said, because they spend a lot of time on the ground during processing. “Sumatra is one of those names made popular in the ’90s. Because of that, it was the golden child of Peet’s and Starbucks, and that name carried over,” Barrett said.
Processing taste
The type of process affects the coffee’s taste, too, as does the way coffee is maintained during this process. • Washed/wet method: Barrett said that with this method, the beans are separated from the pulp and skin. This must be done on the same day that the cherry is picked. This is also called the “wet method.” This preserves the intrinsic qualities of the coffee beans. • Dry method/natural process: Barrett said this can cause coffee to taste extra fruity. This is because after the coffee cherry is hand-picked, it’s laid out to dry on drying beds with the fruit still on it, allowing the seed to absorb these natural flavors. This is also the oldest and simplest method. The coffee cherries then dry out in the sun, either on large concrete brick patios or on matting. • Wet-hulled/semi-washed: This process is similar to the washed process, except that semi-washed seeds are dried with the “mucilage,” or fruit pulp, still clinging to the outside of the parchment (a stiff casing around the soft bean). Emeran Langmaid says that this process is relatively unique in Sumatra.
The roasters
During our interview at A&E Coffee Roastery in Amherst, Langmaid reached into a sack of unroasted beans. Coffee roasters call this “green” coffee. “This is what the coffee looks like before we roast,” she said. The items in her hand looked like tiny peanuts. They didn’t have that rich, coffee smell; that happens during the roast, which occurs nearly every day at A&E Coffee Roastery. Many of A&E’s regular customers know the roasting schedule well and will buy specifically during or after the process. “Sometimes you can even smell it while you’re walking by outside,” Langmaid said. Every step in the process is incredibly important in maximizing the final product. Roasters, especially, not only need to know about the roasting process — which involves closely monitoring each batch for bean color, aroma and even sound, all of which signal when the roast has achieved its ideal flavor — but they need to know a lot about the product before it’s roasted to ensure that they’re purchasing and creating the highest quality product possible. Some of them, as Langmaid has, travel far and wide to find the perfect seeds; she has traveled to Peru, Costa Rica, Mexico, Guatemala and Hawaii to sample green coffee, and she’s planning on trekking to Honduras and Nicaragua early next year to source. (Importers are usually the in-between for coffee roasters who don’t source.) While a darker, more robust roast was trending more in the 1990s, today many roasters opt for something lighter. This lighter roast picks up on the more intrinsic characteristics of the

bean, Langmaid said, and it allows you to taste the sometimes fruity, citrusy, earthy or nutty character better than you might in a dark. (You’ll even see this in chains; Starbucks, for example, only just released its “Blonde” roast a couple of years ago, which, according to the company website, is its first true light roast coffee.) As I was sipping a sample at A&E, Langmaid talked a bit about how the type of roast affects the coffee’s taste, from start to finish. “Darker roasts tend to have a long finish,” she said. That means you taste them even after you swallow the coffee. Lighter roasts, on the other hand, you taste more in the beginning of your sip. “I think that once you start to notice the subtle differences in taste, you start to appreciate them a bit more,” Langmaid said. “You start to define what you
like and why you like it.” There’s currently a debate about whether the type of roast determines the amount of caffeine in a given cup; it’s a common misconception that dark roasts have more caffeine. (They do, after all, have a stronger, harsher flavor.) Brewers like Zinser and Whitney argue that you get more of a caffeine boost drinking medium roasts. This idea is that the roast burns off some of the bean’s caffeine. Langmaid is in this group, too. “The darker the roast, the more moisture content you lose during the roast process. Since caffeine is water soluble, it attaches to the vapor molecules and is lifted off,” she said. Others, like Barrett, say that the roast makes no difference, the the only caffeine indicator is the amount of coffee per drink.
Why New England runs on Dunkin’s

Hippo | September 12 - 18, 2013 | Page 18
New England’s own Dunkin’ Donuts started selling donuts and coffee in 1948. It hasn’t stopped since. Quincy, Mass., housed the first Dunkin’ Donuts restaurant in 1948, though initially, founder Bill Rosenberg called it “Open Kettle.” It didn’t become Dunkin’ Donuts until 1950. (You can catch a glimpse of what the original Dunkin’ looked like if you visit the Quincy restaurant; the location was renovated a couple of years ago to look like the original.) The 100th restaurant opened in 1963, but Munchkins didn’t become part of the menu until 1972. Muffins arrived in 1978. Why Dunkin’ Donuts has got such a stronghold on New Englanders is debatable. “I think Dunkin’ Donuts has got such a significant stronghold,” said J. Dub’s Coffee owner Jim Whitney. “They’ve got their
customers addicted.” “I think that people from New England like consistency,” said Emeran Langmaid. “There’s also a lot of loyalty there.” Perhaps it’s due to their historically great marketing campaigns. (Remember Fred the Baker? Michael Vale became one of TV’s most enduring pitchmen during the 1980s, when, in the commercials, he’d wake up at the crack of dawn. “Time to make the donuts!” he said. “I bet the guys who make supermarket doughnuts are still in bed.”) Regardless, their magic works: the company now sells more than 70 varieties of donuts, according to the company website, and more than a dozen coffee beverages. At the end of 2012, there were 10,500 Dunkin’ Donuts stores worldwide, about 7,000 within the States.

It’s always a good idea to talk with your barista, especially if he has a minute to talk; not only will he help you find the best drink for you, but he’ll also tell you about the drinks whose contents might not be obvious from their names.

One of the biggest trends today is manual brewing, often referred to as the pour-over method. This method enables the coffee maker to better control the taste, body and strength of each cup. (See our box on at-home brewing.) More and more coffee shops and cafes are taking to this type of brew, though you might have to ask specifically for it. Also trending, it seems, are espresso drinks, said Alexandra Puglisi, who opened Cafe La Reine in Manchester in the spring. Espresso, which is brewed by forcing a small amount of nearly boiling water over finely ground coffee beans, is much stronger than regular coffee because of how finely it’s ground. Puglisi was surprised to see how popular her flavored coffee was, too. (If the bean itself is flavored, it’s done during the roasting process.) Quite a few people, she said, will choose a simple, flavored cup over a pump of liquid sugar or dash of cream. “Most people don’t want to put sugar, cream or anything in their coffee,” she said. The beans, she said, are flavored with oils, which she thinks tastes more natural that a pump of sugary flavor. In other cafes, however, people are reaching for the drinks that are more like caffeinated desserts, drinks that emphasize more the culinary aspect of serving coffee. Some of the names are obvious, some offer just a hint of what’s in store. (The Wild Blueberry Latte at A&E Roastery, for instance, tastes like blueberry pancakes with maple syrup; it’s muddled with wild blueberries with maple extract,

(In our interview, he compared J. Dubs to Cheers. He’s the bartender, and his customers are Norm and Cliff.) He sells more flavors than you can try in a month, and if you don’t know what you want, he’ll help you out. “I have loyal, long-term customers who come in every day. I know when there are births, deaths, kids, all that stuff … I want you to feel like you’re part of my family when you come in here,” Whitney said. You’ll find that quite a few of the state’s coffee “community” centers were started by people who previously worked in different professions. For Stephanie and Rob Zinser of True Brew Barista, brewing cappuccinos was just a hobby until they discovered how popular their drinks could be at a Concord Market Days event. “People kept asking us where our [store] was,” Stephanie Zinser said. They’ve been in Concord for about five years now, and they know many of their customers by name. People of all ages hang out and drink coffee here (though if you’re in high school, Stephanie Zinser might slip you a decaf instead). In fact, if you come in enough, the owners might even name a drink after you. Historically, coffee shops and cafes have been community gathering places. (So have bookstores; notice how those two tend to go together?) It’s where you find your fuel for the morning, it’s where you do your homework, or it’s where you meet a friend between lunch and dinner time. Owners want you to stay around after you buy your coffee; it’s why they install wifi and pleasant seating. Indeed, part of what inspired Puglisi in opening a coffee shop so soon after she finished college was a class she took at Saint Anselm called “Paris and New York in the 1920s and 1930s.” “I really wanted to start my own business, and I chose coffee because I really
love it, and I love the culture it fosters,” she said. “People from all different walks of life can find a place here. It’s where people start their day. It’s where they do homework, where they work.”

apparent that coffee is good for you too. New research continues to show that there’s a lot of healthy stuff in your cup of joe — as long as you don’t load it with cream and sugar. “There tend to be a lot more pros than cons lately relating to coffee,” said Andrea Hebert, a registered dietician at St. Joseph’s Hospital. “There’s a lot of research that shows that drinking three to six cups of coffee a day reduces the risk for diabetes. They don’t think that it’s necessarily the caffeine, but rather, the antioxidant property of the coffee, as well as the magnesium and chromium.” Hebert said that drinking a regular, moderate amount of coffee is also linked to reduced risk for Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s

Disease and dementia. This is effective in drinking both decaf and caffeinated coffee. There have also been many studies showing that it’s effective in lowering one’s risk for cancer. A recent study at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (fhcrc.org), for instance, showed that coffee consumption is associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer recurrence and progression. Another study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology reported in 2012 that caffeinated coffee is associated with a reduced risk of dying from oral or throat cancer. Hebert says that the caffeine in coffee might inflict some concern with one’s blood pressure, as it does increase your adrenaline, but it also has been seen to reduce risk of heart disease and stroke. Marilyn Mills, RD, LD, and Clinical Dietician at Elliot Hospital, says that the amount to which you absorb these health benefits is determined by how you prepare your coffee. “Black coffee will give you the most antioxidants. Any time you add milk or a milk-based product, the calcium will bind with those anti-oxidants,” she said. As a result, you won’t receive them. Darker roasts, she said, also have fewer antioxidants. There’s a debate over whether coffee acts as a diuretic (which, as a result, dehydrates). Hebert says that it’s not, while Mills says that it is, but not in small quantities. Caffeinated coffee has proven to be quite useful for endurance athletes, allowing them to go faster and longer. “What gives people the biggest trouble is what they put in the coffee,” Hebert said of the flavor shots, creams and sugars that so many people add to their cups.

Fun facts about coffee • Starbucks was named after Starbuck, the “chief mate” on the whaling ship Pequod from Herman Melville’s masterpiece, Moby-Dick. The franchise consists of more than 17,000 stores worldwide. • When you see people wait for their coffee to cool before tasting, it’s not only because they fear third-degree mouth burns. Often, the best coffee flavors emerge as the cup cools, said CQ Coffee roaster Claudia Barrett. • Hawaii is the only state that commercially grows coffee. • For the best at-home brewing, most brewers suggest using two tablespoons of coffee per six ounces of cold water. Coffee also tastes best when it’s ground fresh and is brewed with cold water. • In the United States, Sept. 29 is National Coffee Day. • Who the heck is Joe? It’s debated, but many say the term refers to former U.S. Navy Secretary Josephus Daniels. When Daniels banned alcohol
from Navy vessels, soldiers drank coffee instead. Others say it comes from American servicemen, “G.I. Joes,” in WWII because they were seen as big coffee drinkers. • Java, on the other hand, historically refers to the coffee beans produced in the Indonesian island of Java. • Espresso drinks taste darker and stronger than medium, regular coffee because they’re typically of a darker roast and are ground much finer. This makes a drink more dense. • The only world commodity that’s traded more than coffee is oil. • All coffee in the world grows in the Bean Belt, the area between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. • In 1675, King Charles II of England banned coffee houses. He claimed they were places where people conspired against him. • The term “Americano” comes from American GI’s during WWII. They’d order espresso with water to dilute the strong flavor. 080095

arts RENT rocks the Palace Theater starts its season with a Broadway hit By Kelly Sennott
ksennott@hippopress.com
Normally, the Palace Theatre doesn’t produce rock musicals with cult-like followings in a season premiere. Normally, the theater goes for something smaller, lighter — a comedy, maybe. Things are happening a bit differently this year, with the Broadway hit RENT opening the theater’s season this weekend. Putting on such a big show so early on is, admittedly, a bit risky, said Chris Lockwood, director of marketing at the Palace Theatre. That’s especially true with a show whose contents push you a bit beyond your comfort zone, said RENT Artistic Director Carl Rajotte. “We first put this show up in 2009 and I remember being scared what the audience reaction might be,” Rajotte said. He needn’t have worried; it was received fantastically. “When the rights became available again in our area, it was a no-brainer to bring this show back to our stage,” Rajotte said. Written by Jonathan Larson, who based the play on Giacomo Puccini’s opera, La bohème, RENT tells the story of a group of young, poor artists living in New
York City. AIDS, poverty and addiction are the weights these young people bear, yet, more than anything, the show is about faith, love, heartbreak, loss, life and following your dreams, according to the show’s stars. When the show first came out, it drew fantastic reviews, winning a Tony Award for Best Musical and a Pulitzer Prize for drama. It drew a cult-type following, too. (DJ Bucciarelli, who plays a gay drag queen with AIDS named Angel, calls these fans “RENT-heads.”) But when the curtain rises and the music starts, it’s possible that the biggest “RENT-heads” in the room are the ones singing onstage. Nigel Jamaal Clark plays Benny, his dream role in his dream play. Seeing RENT in 2003 at the Anchorage Performing Art Center, in fact, enticed him to pursue acting. He was in high school, just 16 at the time. “It was my first time being exposed to theater. My choir teacher, at the time, was trying to convince me to pursue musical theater,” Clark said. He knew little about the show beforehand, and he was quite surprised, quite moved by it. Alaska, he said, is a red state, and he’d never seen anything quite like it.

“At the time, I didn’t realize that I could relate to it. I came in with such a blank canvas,” Clark said. “Since then, I’ve been chasing down the show, audition after audition. It’s been quite a trip, just trying to get cast. … The talent here is quite amazing, with actors coming down from New York City to perform.” RENT is also the first Broadway show actor DJ Bucciarelli had ever seen. He was just 9 years old when he saw it with his parents, and he was completely enamored. “I love the messages of positivity, of overcoming any obstacles. I think that today, these beautiful messages are still prevalent,” Bucciarelli said. It’s a bit ironic that when he was 9, before the show, he said, his parents sat him down and told him about AIDS, about how
RENT would feature a beautiful drag queen, and that it was nothing to laugh about. This weekend, he’s playing that drag queen. He’s been practicing walking in heels. “I’m tipping my hat to the females in the cast. It’s not easy [to walk in heels], and my legs are killing me!” he said. “I’ve never been a drag queen before, and this will be my first time wearing a dress, heels and fake eyelashes on stage.” Bucciarelli thinks that people are going to be blown away at this talented cast, and he said he’ll give a dollar to every audience member who doesn’t cry. This event has been particularly popular with younger generations; the Palace partnered with Citizens Bank and together they’re offering free tickets for college students during a special preview performance on Thurs-
day, Sept. 12, at 7 p.m. You just need a college ID or .edu email, Lockwood said. “I think that the story resonates not just with college students, but also in young professionals. When RENT came out, it really changed the Broadway musical. There had been nothing that radically different in a long time,” Lockwood said.

At the center of Leslie Fry’s Southern New Hampshire University exhibit sits what looks like an Egyptian queen drowning in a sea of ancient book leaves. And they’re literally book leaves: by her hand, her elbow, her head, you’ll find faded blue, pink and green book covers sculpted in leaf-like shapes. Real books, at least 30 of them, also engulf her. Most of them are covered in sparkling light brown dirt. “What is Wrong with the World?” is the only new piece in Fry’s SNHU exhibit, “Archeology Through the Looking Glass,” but it’s by far the star and most noticeable attribute in this archeology-themed show. It was partly inspired by her mother, who passed away last year. “These were all her books,” Fry explained in an interview, gesturing to the masses of sand-entrenched texts scattered along the gallery floor. “She loved books. She had about 3,000 in her collection. She couldn’t bear to part with them.” Not all of the books are real. Some of the items are simply casts she made from her mothers old texts. Between those, you’ll see pages from another installation inspiration, Through the Looking Glass. Her father read this book to her many times when she was growing up. “These are pages from the actual book my father read to us. I felt very weird tearing out the pages, but I did it for the sake of art,” Fry said. (She made sure to note that most of the other books she tattered were age-old texts or dictionaries, nothing of much use anymore.) The sand and the gallery lighting, together, create a glow about the piece. But once you look a bit closer at “What’s Wrong With the World?,” you see that there’s quite a bit of movement, a bit of transformation in it. “There’s this element here of time passing, things fading, but when you get over there, [she pointed at the disappearing bookshelf], you have an archeological archive that preserves these artifacts you see over here [she points back to the pile] decomposing,” she said. The name “What’s Wrong With the World?” came from another book she’d read many times. She likes that it can be taken positively or negatively. “There’s a cycle of decay and regrowth, and there’s nothing wrong with that. That’s the way things are,” she said. “This is my past, and it’s some attempt to put an order to or to preserve some of those thoughts,

memories or excavations of the past.” Deborah Disston, director of the McIninch Art Gallery, says that this exhibit is also relevant because of what’s going on a few buildings down: the excavation and rebuilding of SNHU’s library. Fry says that her show is about looking at the present world from an archeological perspective. Much of her art already played on this theme; the rest of the sculptures are like collages of archeological items that, as a whole, become something entirely new. One example is “NestBuilder,” a bronze statue that looks like a bird with a woman’s head. Her wings are a sea of hands and fingers, and she sits perched on a collection of trunks and tools. They’re pieces that you can admire for 10 minutes and, because of their exquisite detail, still find something new afterward. “This will sound touchy-feely, but my work is also about how everything is connected to everything. … I really like making hybrid creatures who are part animal, part human, part plant,” she said. “I’m into mythology and literature and symbolism, and I like to use recognizable images, but hopefully, I’m using them in a new way.”
“Archaeology through the Looking Glass” Where: Southern New Hampshire University, McIninch Art Gallery, 2500 N. River Road, Manchester When: Thursday, Sept. 12, through Oct. 19. There’s a reception on Sept. 12, featuring a presentation by Fry from 5 to 6:30. Following is a guest reading by Robert J. Begiebing, a retired SNHU professor who will present an excerpt from his latest book, The Turner Erotica, which centers around artist J.M.W. Turner.

• Makers’ mentors: The next show at the Furniture Masters Gallery exhibition (49 S. Main St., Concord, furnituremasters. org), “Fast Forward: Mentoring Makers,” features a collection of work by nine emerging artists who were mentored by Furniture Master Garrett Hack in his Vermont studio in Thetford Center. The exhibit is on view Sept. 13 through Nov. 12. These nine makers, most of whom are in their early 30s, have been traveling from across Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts to Hack’s shop once a month to talk about issues of design, techniques and working with clients, according to the release. This is a great opportunity for aspiring furniture makers because there are fewer opportunities to learn the trade than there used to be. “Some excellent private woodworking schools try to fill this void, but their costs, along with expenses for wood and even the basic tools, put them well beyond the reach of a maker starting out,” Hack said in a press release. There’s an opening reception on Friday, Oct. 4, from 5 to 7 p.m. • “Introspection”: Every year, the Andres Institute of Art (98 New Hampshire Route 13, Brookline, andresinstitute.org) invites artists from all over the world to create permanent art for the southern New

Climb aboard a WWII bomber in Londonderry By Cory Francer
cfrancer@hippopress.com
Soaring five miles above Europe, enemy jets were not the only obstacles American fighter pilots had to battle during World War II. Temperatures that plummeted far below zero degrees inside airplanes with no heat and jarringly cramped quarters turned each mission into a brush with death. The planes that carried these brave soldiers are now mostly just seen on television or in the movies, but for three days, visitors to the Aviation Museum of New Hampshire in Londonderry can climb aboard a selection of these aircrafts and take off for a 30-minute flight through history. The Collings Foundation, a Massachusetts-based non-profit that preserves historic transportation equipment, will bring its Wings of Freedom Tour to the museum from Monday, Sept. 16, to Wednesday, Sept. 18. In tow will be a B-17G, a B-24 Liberator and a P-51 Mustang. Hunter Chaney, the foundation’s director of marketing, said that taking an up-close look at these planes is a fascinating experience, but the primary goal of the tour is to pay tribute to the few remaining veterans of World War II. “When it comes to World War II, both in honoring World War II veterans and to engage people in World War II history, there is no more effective vehicle to do that than touring in and flying in these aircrafts,” Chaney said. “It’s like walking into a time machine and is such a rarity to touch and explore history like this.” Chaney said the Collings Foundation’s collection of World War II-era aircrafts is one of the world’s largest. He said the B-17 is one of only eight remaining that can still fly and the B-24 is the only one of its kind still Children & Teens Events • SEEDS, SEEDS EVERYWHERE! at Amoskeag Fishways (4 Fletcher St., Manchester) Thurs., Sept. 12, 9:30-11 a.m. or 12:30-2 p.m. Learn about seeds and how they travel from place to place. Cost is $8 per family. Advance registration is required. Call 626-3474 or visit amoskeagfishways.org.

able to get off the ground. The foundation’s P-51 that will be visiting New Hampshire is the only model with dual controls. “This is the most unique national tour of World War II aircrafts in existence,” he said. “Nowhere else can you see all these planes together in one city.” Climbing aboard and flying in one of these bombers is an even more eye-opening experience, Chaney said. Passengers must be buckled in for the takeoff and landing, but there are points in the flight to explore the plane while it’s airborne. “Everyone gets on board and when the plane starts up and taxis out, there are nervous glances all around,” Chaney said. “When the engine powers up, there is not a closed mouth in the aircraft.” The half-hour flights offered at each tour stop cost $425. While the flights are big-ticket items, guided walk-through tours of each plane are available for $12 for adults and $6 for children 12 and younger. Chaney said while not as thrilling as a flight, the tours of the planes are also great opportunities to get an up-close look at the conditions these troops were subjected to.

“A lot of people are surprised to find how cramped it is inside these aircrafts,” Chaney said. “There’s nothing particularly comfortable about the planes. … They were made to do two things: drop bombs and spray bullets at what was trying to stop them.” This year marks the 24th Wings of Freedom Tour, and though it has visited the Manchester area in the past, Paul Bagley, the administrator of the Aviation Museum, said it has been a few years since the last visit. The tour has also stopped in Nashua and at the Pease International Tradeport in Portsmouth, where Bagley took his ride aboard the B-17 — commonly referred to as “The Flying Fortress.” “The B-17 was a real surprise, and flying on one was an ambition from the time I was a kid,” he said. “It was a surprise because it was a very nimble aircraft and quick to respond to controls of the pilot.” The tour stop in the Manchester area is also a homecoming of sorts for the B-17 and B-24, Bagley said, because during the war, each of these planes stopped in the Queen City for its final modifications before traversing to Europe.

Chaney said he hopes to see World War II veterans from New Hampshire at the event and said any who plan to visit are encouraged to bring along photos and stories of their time in the service to share with others. “There’s a reason why we call them the greatest generation,” he said. “There’s a certain level of pride, determination and self perseverance that shines in these guys. They did this mission after mission, and if you survived, you knew you would have to do it again tomorrow.” Wings of Freedom Tour When: Monday, Sept. 16, from 2 to 5 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 17, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Wednesday, Sept. 18, from 10 a.m. to noon.

Dear Donna, We found these while cleaning out my parents’ camp and wondered if you knew anything about them and possibly what we could do with them. Kim from Tilton Dear Kim, What you have there is a box of cigarette silks. Back in the Victorian Era cigarette companies used to lure women to smoke their brand by giving them something to do so. Silks became very popular very quickly, and women would collect them. During the Victorian era and after turn of the century, women would take cigarette silks, along with the silks from a man’s cigar box, and create some really beautiful quilts. Today you can find some that have made it and are very collectible depending on the condition and what silks were used. Because silk is so fragile, many haven’t survived without damage. The value in the silks is the content. There were birds, butterflies, flower, Victorian woman, cats, dogs, flags, etc. There are so many, you would want to do some research to find out which ones are rarer and have a higher value. They are collectible and I believe a market for a collector or for someone who needs a few to replace worn ones in an antique quilt. The value will depend on condition and whether some of yours are harder to find. In general you see the common ones for around $6 each, but I have seen some for as high as $40, so it really does matter what the subject is.

by double girdling the bark. Take a pruning saw and slice through the bark and the green cambium layer beneath it, going all the way around the trunk. But don’t cut into the hard wood below that green layer of cambium. The two cuts should be about a foot apart. If done this year, next year the tree will grow normally, but the following year it will not leaf out. It will be dead. And there should be no new sprouts that arise. Last year I double girdled a staghorn sumac (Rhus typina) to see if the same technique would work on it. Sumac suckers readily, roots traveling long distances and sending up new shoots. In this case, the tree died in less than a year, and no new shoots have grown. Once I was sitting with an acquaintance, admiring her landscape. But the view was largely blocked by some full-sized white pines. She turned to me and said, “Henry, I think I have to move those pines.” I was incredulous. Yes, I allowed, one can move a full-sized tree — if you have the money. But a chain saw makes more sense. Roots extend farther from a tree than you might think, well beyond the drip line. Moving a tree with a trunk more than about 6 inches in diameter is risky because you will lose a lot of roots no matter how careful you are. If you really want to move a full-sized tree, there is something called a tree spade and a few are made big enough to move most trees. These are huge machines that can encircle a tree and send down, by hydraulic pressure, six large blades that cut through soil and roots and scoop out a huge rootball. The machine then lifts the tree out and it is transported to a new site that awaits it with a hole of exactly the same size and shape created earlier by the same machine. The larger models will dig out a hole 8 feet wide and nearly as deep. You can see this by Googling “How to Move a Full Size Tree.” There are several good examples to watch. So I won’t say that a chain saw is my best friend, but I do think that removing certain trees can make sense. After all, if we let every feral tree grow, soon we would all be living in a green jungle.
Twenty-five years ago or more I planted a couple of little pear trees behind my house. It was actually quite a big project, as fruit trees do not like growing in areas that are continually wet, and I didn’t have a good dry spot for them. Much of my full-sun property is near a stream where the water table is very high, especially in winter and spring. So I had to build a terrace first, buying soil and building an 80-foot long retaining wall. That provided a great place to grow fruit trees. One of the pear trees, however, has always been a problem. It didn’t blossom for many years. And it wanted to reach for the sky, sending many competing leaders straight up. No matter how much pruning I did, the tree was never a handsome tree. The fruit was mealy and unpleasant. Finally this summer I cranked up my chain saw and cut it down. I tell you this because I am, in general, a tree-hugger. Sometimes literally. When I traveled in the Namibian desert some years ago my guide knew I was interested in all growing things, especially trees, so he took me way off the beaten track to see a tree growing all by itself. It was related to the aloe I grow as a houseplant, but this 25-foot-tall tree had a reddish bark that was smooth and beautiful (see photo). I got out of the Land Rover, went over to it, and threw my arms around it. I couldn’t help myself. I am prepared to get hate mail from treehuggers about cutting down that pear tree, but I think I did the right thing. Most of us have limited space. We plant trees for our enjoyment, and to provide us with beauty (and sometimes fruit). So if a tree does not please us, I say, get out the chain saw and cut it down. I am a firm believer in the principle of, “It’s my garden and I can do whatever I darn well please.” But, as you may know, it is not always as easy as that. In some planned communities, one must get permission from a committee to take down a tree. And some trees, when cut down, send up many root suckers. Instead of one tree, you end up with dozens. I have a solution to the second problem, but not the first. Common buckthorn and glossy buckthorn (Rhamnus spp.) are two species of small tree that have become real pests in many areas. They were probably introduced as fast-growing shrubs or small trees good at preventing soil erosion, and because they will grow in any type of soil. But they produce lots of berries liked by birds, so the seeds quickly become introduced everywhere near a planting. If you cut one down, more pop up. And pulling them Contact Henry at P.O. Box 364, out by the roots is not easy, especially for big- Cornish Flat, NH 03746 or henry.homeyger specimens. er@comcast.net.

INSIDE/OUTSIDE Car talk
Reader wants older car in case of solar flare
Dear Tom and Ray: With talk about the potential (though unlikely) event of a large solar flare directly hitting Earth, some high-tech engineering types are discussing the merits of using homemade Faraday cages to protect electronics and power-generating equipment and vehicle computers. Rather than place in the garage a large, galvanized steel container that’s large enough to park a car in after the container has been lined with insulation and add a conductive layer around the car, I’m thinking it would be more practical to just buy a spare car and maintain it, albeit one that does not have any electronic controls. I’m thinking a carbureted vehicle built before the ‘80s would do the trick. The question I have is, would a car with a carburetor built prior to 1980 continue to run (assuming that it can run OK prior to this potential event) after Earth has been hit with a large solar flare, similar to the Carrington Event of 1859, which was strong enough to cause electrical 23, Oct. 21 or Nov. 18, 6-7 p.m. Use the ImPACT test to record data that can help determine when it is safe for an athlete to return to play after a concussion. The tests are for 11 and older and cost $10. Registration is required.

shocks to telegraph operators? Also, what would be a suggested vehicle to keep for such an event? — Larry RAY: Well, we all remember what chaos the world was cast into after the 1859 Carrington Event, Larry. Life, as we knew it, was extinguished. I mean, try finding a telegraph operator today! Where are they? You think it’s a coincidence that you can’t find a telegraph operator anymore? TOM: Doesn’t anybody screen these letters? RAY: Actually, I think it’s a very reasonable question, Larry. We’ll do our best to help you out. TOM: OK. In order to avoid being automotively stranded by some sort of major, Earth-wide electrical disturbance, you need to go back to before computers were used to manage engines, and before electronic ignition. That would put you in the early 1970s. RAY: I think the car for you is a 1972 Dodge Dart, Larry. It’s proven pretty reliable. Since it has a nerdy cult following, there are lots of parts still available for these cars. It has a one-barrel Holley carburetor and no important electronics that would be affected by electromagnetic radiation. In fact, it doesn’t have any electronics at all. TOM: Or, here’s another idea: How about a nice, 1971 Chevy Kingswood Estate Wagon? That’s got a nice, simple, carbureted V-8 engine, and the fake wood paneling should survive any electrical event. Plus, a full-size station wagon will give you plenty of room to carry around the provisions you’ll need

Dear Tom and Ray: I have a 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac with only 22,000 miles on it. I took it to my local quickie-lube place for an oil change. They offered to do a free alignment check. My boat-payment antennae went up immediately. They said the lower ball joints were worn and needed to be replaced. It drives like the boat it has always been, and I’ve noticed no unusual tire wear. How likely is it that the ball joints are worn? Is there any significant risk to not getting them replaced? Would I notice any indications that they’re failing? — John TOM: Very, yes, and no. RAY: On a 10-year-old car, I think it’s very likely that your ball joints are worn out, John. Even though you have low mileage, the grease inside the joints tends to dry up, and that causes the joints to fail. TOM: If you don’t trust these guys, the easiest way to confirm this is to take the car to another mechanic and ask for a second opinion. If you don’t have a mechanic you trust (which everyone should), try searching at www.mechanicsfiles.com. That’s a nationwide database of good mechanics who have been personally recommended by other readers Buddhism. Cost is on a sliding scale of $225, $185 or $145.

and listeners of ours. RAY: It’s unlikely that you’d be able to determine, by driving the car, whether your ball joints are bad. You won’t feel anything until it’s almost too late. Just before the ball joints break, you may feel a shimmy in the wheel and have time to say, “Hm, what’s that?” TOM: But your mechanic can tell by testing them. He’ll put the car up on the lift and grab each tire at 9 and 3 o’clock, and try to push and pull it. He’ll do the same thing at 12 and 6 o’clock. If the ball joint is good, there should be absolutely no back-and-forth movement in the wheel whatsoever. If it moves at all, the ball joints are shot and you need new ones. RAY: And what if you just wait, John? Is there a significant risk? Well, how does this sound: You’re driving at 70 mph, and all of a sudden you feel a strange little shaking. As you furrow your brow to wonder what’s causing the vibration, your wheel falls off. TOM: Then, as your life is flashing before your eyes, you can quietly apologize to the guy who tried to tell you that you needed ball joints. So get the second opinion if you don’t trust this guy, but don’t just ignore the warning. Got a question about cars? Write to Click and Clack by visiting cartalk.com.

Think positive
Optimism changes brain chemistry By Joel Bergeron
listings@hippopress.com
“I can do this!” Say that out loud (or at least, inside your head). Now say, “Can I do this?” How do those two statements make you feel? It’s amazing how dramatic the difference is when you switch the order of the first two words (I can … Can I?). Positive thinking leads to success for a variety of reasons, and when it comes to health, being optimistic about life affects you and those around you more than just hearing or seeing positive encouragement. We all have to deal with various life challenges that can be trying at times. These situations cause stress, which has a tremendously powerful influence on your health. Research shows that the human body originally evolved to cope with three to abilities. • JAZZERCISE the Southern NH Jazzercise at 28 Lowell Road, Hudson, offers 33 weekly classes in Jazzercise and body sculpting.

five stressful situations per week, yet we routinely deal with 20 to 30 stressful situations a day. When you drove to work this morning, did you hear a loud horn, deal with a rude motorist or get stuck in traffic when you were late to work? These are each stressors, and they create something called a “stacking” affect. When faced with regular stress our mindset dictates how our body handles it on a chemical level. Hearing positive reinforcement encourages the production of a chemical called dopamine within the brain. Dopamine is associated with pleasure or positive feelings. For instance, if you have a dinner date planned at a favorite restaurant, thinking ahead and anticipating a reward (in the form of a yummy meal) primes your brain to release dopamine. When you actually eat that meal, your brain produce chemicals which are felt as pleasure. This in turn makes you want to have that meal again. This is the same pattern seen in those

who have an addiction. Each time a person is exposed to a perceived pleasure experience, they receive these positive chemicals but develop a tolerance. This is why people overeat; they need more food to feel the same chemical effects of pleasure. The trick is to become “addicted” to positive thinking, so that you start to elicit the same chemical response in a productive, rather than self-destructive, manner. Saying positive things to others affects their brain chemistry as well, because hearing positive encouragement for good behavior is perceived as a reward. Conversely, hearing negative comments works the opposite way; you are less motivated to continue that activity. If you are negative around others, they won’t want to be around you, which affects your future interactions and potential opportunities around those individuals.

than what you think you should get? Where does your motivation go? What about if the paycheck includes a bonus? It all comes down to perception of reward. By being positive during stressful situations, you’ll be able to cope with things more easily and move on. By being optimistic your behavior will be less affected (or not at all affected) by negative influences, and this will lead to success. Your mindset and approach to life is ultimately what dictates the positive or negative outcome of many situations.

Fun, sexy jazz
Burlesque workshop comes to Concord By Cory Francer
cfrancer@hippopress.com
It’s a sultry dance with erotic overtones, but Deborah de Moulpied says there’s more to burlesque dancing than meets the eye. Burlesque has roots in theater, comedy and vaudeville, she said, and when she leads the inaugural class at Let’s Dance Studio in Concord, her students will learn those roots as they practice the signature shimmies and shakes.
Burlesque workshop When: Friday, Sept. 13, 7-9 p.m. Where: Let’s Dance Studio, 5 N. Main St., Concord Cost: $30 per person. This is class is for women, 18 and older. Contact: Call 228-2800 or visit letsdancenh.com.

“It’s not erotic dancing, and it’s not stripping,” she said. “It’s more of a sexy jazz.” During her time choreographing musical theater, de Moulpied said, she has always found the most fun dances to be ones combining a little comedy, risque aspects and innuendo. In doing some research on jazz classes, she came upon burlesque. In delving deeper into the background of burlesque, de Moulpied found the roots of the dance are very theatrical, and while there is a sensuality about it, it’s not the outwardly sexual dance routine that it can sometimes be misconstrued as. The class is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 13. de Moulpied said it’s an introductory class and is open to any woman age 18 or older. She’ll start by teaching some basic moves and then put those moves together into a routine. While the class will be a way for students

to expand their dance knowledge and skills, de Moulpied said the two most important goals she has are for all of the class members to gain some confidence and have a fun night out. “It’s something cool and fun for a bunch of women to do,” she said. “I think some people would like to have some more confidence in themselves — confidence in their own body and in being more sensual.” Prior dance knowledge is not required. The class will be more about getting students to let go of their apprehension and jump into the dance with no reservations. She said the best dancers are the ones who fully embrace the music and the movement. “Half of doing this is in your head,” she said. “It’s about feeling the music and learning how to move to it and letting go of your inhibitions. A beginner can learn to do it. It’s just about encouraging them to do so.”

Raptor release
September is the season of migration and this weekend marks the annual raptor release events at the raptor observatories at Pack Monadnock (Route 101 East, Peterborough) and at Carter Hill Orchard (73 Carter Hill Road, Concord). Weather depending, the release at Pack Monadnock will be held on Saturday, Sept. 14, at 1 p.m., and the Carter Hill Orchard release will be Sunday, Sept. 15, at 4 p.m. Phil Brown, the raptor observatory coordinator for the New Hampshire Audubon Society, said at both events, a rehabilitated raptor will be released back into the wild. Each year, Brown said, the staff at Wings of the Dawn in Henniker rehabilitates birds that have been injured to be released at these events. Brown said the release dates are held during the height of broadwing hawk migration season and visitors to the observatories will likely be treated to a great view of hawks heading south. “One day on hawk release day saw, we saw 7,000 hawks over Carter Hill,” Brown said. “That has never been matched in New Hampshire birding history. One can hope for that kind of spectacle or even a shadow of that.” In addition to release day, Brown said the observatories are open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., during migration season.

Hold on tight — there’s a new ride at the Rochester Fair this year. Speed XXL is not for the faint of heart. It seats eight passengers and brings them high above the fairgrounds. “This isn’t a kids’ ride. This isn’t anything that you want to go on if you’re not an avid ride enthusiast,” Rochester Fair General Manager Mark Perry said. “It’ll be the tallest ride on the midway — up about 120 feet. You should be able to see that from a considerable distance.” Perry said Speed XXL is making its first and only appearance in New Hampshire; there are only seven of these rides in the country. “We’re always on the lookout for these kinds of things,” Perry said. “These [rides] are very sought after.” The Rochester Fair runs Friday, Sept. 13, through Sunday, Sept. 22, at the fairgrounds in Rochester. There are other classic midway rides too, like the ferris wheel and Tilt-a-Whirl, and kids’ rides, like a tractor ride and a kiddie coaster. Admission to the fair costs $14, which includes a bracelet for access to all the midway rides except Speed XXL. Speed XXL costs an additional $5, and grandstand shows like the demolition derbies and the trailer races cost $8 for general seating, with a $5 ticket special on Friday, Sept. 13, for the opening night of the fair. Guests should also bring $5 for parking and money for vendors and fair food like cotton candy, popcorn, fried dough and steak and Italian sausage. The fair offers free admission Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. to browse the exhibit halls and experience the rest of the fair. “It always boggles my mind, but there are people who don’t want the rides or the entertainment. … They want to walk around and have a little food,” Perry said. “We’re trying to accommodate that.”
The exhibit halls include crafts like quilts and photography in a hall that Perry said, “goes on and on.” Then, there’s the classic farm animals like cows, pigs, sheep and goats, as well as giraffes and camels. “Some fairs have survived over the years by being traditional country fairs,” Perry said. “We take it a little differently.” Entertainment includes magic shows, a pig scramble, a ventriloquist who has performed with Jeff Dunham and classic fair events at the grandstand like truck pulls, tractor pulls and horse pulls. Then, there’s the Chainsaw Chix, with a young woman carving creations out of lumber with a chainsaw, Circus Hollywood, demolition derbies and a school bus people can shoot pumpkins at with a canon. Opening night there’s a trailer race where RVs compete and there are two sessions of the school bus demolition derby. “Who does bus derby? Nobody,” Perry said. “There’s a uniqueness about what we do.” What also makes the Rochester Fair unique is its long-standing tradition. This will be the 138th annual fair. “Every fair likes to say that they are the oldest,” Perry said. “Our first fair was in 1874, so it makes us one of the oldest.

FOOD Take a bite of the Queen City Eat and shop at Taste of Downtown Manchester By Emelia Attridge food@hippopress.com
If you want to get a taste of the Queen City, you can try out all its flavors at Taste of Downtown Manchester, when businesses on and around Elm Street team up with local restaurants for an evening of shopping and food sampling. “It’s about the community, it’s about downtown [and] it’s about all of us coming together and promoting what is great about the downtown area,” World Sports Grille Event Sales Manager Wendy Fisher said. “It’s just a lot of fun. It’s a great family event, and we’ve always had a blast doing it.” This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Taste of Downtown Manchester, on Wednesday, Sept. 18, from 5 to 8 p.m. About 45 downtown businesses are participating this year, including over 25 restaurants. “We just have a really wide variety of restaurants, and then we have such a lively art culture here in Manchester,” organizer Sara Beaudry of Intown Manchester said. The Gyro Spot, Red Sauce and CC’s Consignments are some of the newcomers to this year’s Taste of Downtown; standbys like Fratello’s, Firefly and Red Arrow will be there as well. “E-Vision Eye Care and Firefly have been partnered together for a couple of years now because they just have a great relationship,” Beaudry said. “They just get really into it, and I think that’s the best. I also think that it really forms a bond and strengthens relationships and businesses in Manchester.” World Sports Grille, formerly Jillian’s, is returning to the event with its new name and new menu items. Fisher said she plans to serve up three different items that are easy to carry and bite-sized, like a sample of the restaurant’s chicken skewers. “I’m looking forward to getting our name out there and the quality product we have,” said Fisher. “We just launched in mid-May, so I’m anxious to continue to spread the word.” Beaudry said that 1,000 tickets are printed for the event, and although some are reserved for walk-up purchases on the night of the event, she recommends buying tickets in advance. Guests will hop from business to business to browse and sample dishes from participating restaurants all along Elm

Celebrate Garlic Day at Two Sisters’ Garlic in Canterbury. Courtesy photo.
By Emelia Attridge food@hippopress.com
Garlic Day started at Two Sisters’ Garlic as a way for customers to pick up their garlic fresh at the farm, owner Naomi Scanlon said. Now in its 10th year, there’s a lot more than just garlic at Garlic Day. “It’s just kind of grown from that,” Scanlon said. “It’s actually a family affair. My four daughters and husband and [my daughters’] husbands and boyfriends all come and help.” Garlic Day is Saturday, Sept. 14, at Two Sisters’ Garlic in Canterbury. The festivities start at 9 a.m. with coffee and homemade donuts and a How to Grow Garlic workshop. From 9 to 11 a.m., farmers and amateur vegetable growers can register for the Great Garden Grow-Off sponsored by New Hampshire Farm Bureau Young Farmers. The Grow-Off isn’t for professional competitors, Scanlon said. It’s more of a way to show off things like home-grown pumpkins, squash and zucchinis. There’s even a People’s Choice oddest or most unusual vegetable category. There’s certainly plenty to learn about and to taste in terms of garlic on Garlic Day, but there’s a large portion of agricultural awareness. At 10:15 a.m., Dot Perkins from UNH Extension will give a presentation on Integrated Pest Management, how to prepare the soil for next year’s crop and what ills the summer rains brought for this year’s harvest. Then, at 2 p.m. Perkins will facilitate an “Ask Dot” conversation with questions and answers about gardening, agriculture and animal husbandry. Fresh garlic is available to buy, including culinary and seed stock variety, and garlic “goodies,” too. Guests can sample the garlic jellies, dips and

garlic scape pesto. There are lunch items at the Yellow House, a white elephant “This N’ That Table” fundraiser for the New Hampshire Farm Bureau Associated Women, and bluegrass tunes from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. with the Grass Dawgs. “I’m hoping they’ll sing their special garlic song again,” Scanlon said. September is the month for the garlic harvest. “Many people call it a liberty crop, because you plant Columbus Day and you harvest around or after the Fourth of July,” Scanlon said. “At the 9 o’clock session, I go right through [the garlic process] from beginning, buying your garlic, preparing your soil, planting it, watching it grow basically, weeding and then harvesting and curing.” When the garlic is harvested, it’s dried and cured. August’s humid days often present a challenge for this, as mold can wipe out a crop, and it takes about a month for the bulbs to dry. Scanlon said guests can walk around the farm and learn about the growing process. They can also visit the chickens, Fritha, the British White Park cow, and the Scottish blackface sheep. “[The sheep] actually came first,” Scanlon said about discovering garlic. “I was looking for a crop that would complement the sheep. ... When you’re cooking lamb, garlic is a great accent flavor.” Garlic Day provides an opportunity for conversation on garlic, something Scanlon is happy to encourage, particularly on the commercial production of the crop. “When we started 12 years ago, we bought garlic for $12 and $14 a pound. We are selling it for $12 a pound still,” she said. “It’s been kind of almost a surplus crop. Other farmers will concentrate on corn, tomatoes, cucumbers and vegetables, and the garlic is just there to have it.” Then, there’s the whole family outing and community aspect, too. At Petals in the Pines (126 Baptist Road, Canterbury), there’s a Monarch Butterfly Festival also on Saturday. “We’re working together this year,” Scanlon said. “People can come out and do a couple things in Canterbury for the day.”

A little bit of the North End in Manchester.
The former Outback Steakhouse building on Loudon Road is no longer empty, filled instead with the aromas of salsa, fajitas and limes. El Rodeo Mexican restaurant recently opened in that space, bringing to town one of several restaurants owned by the Arellano family. The family opened its first location in Harrisburg, Pa., in 1992. “We saw an opportunity here,” said Jesse Leon, noting that the family has several other locations and is opening additional restaurants in Newington and Ogunquit, Maine. The family also opened Mexico Lindo in Exeter earlier this year. The business is family owned and operated, he said, with a focus on authentic Mexican cuisine, fresh ingredients and inhouse recipes. “We make everything from scratch,” Leon said. That includes the homemade tomatillo salsa, available extra spicy upon request, and the margarita mix. “Everything is made in house. We do not use a pre-made mix,” he said. After being seated at El Rodeo, guests are given complimentary chips and salsa while they browse the extensive menu and drink list. Options include common Mexican favorites like burritos, fajitas, taquitos, enchiladas, quesadillas and tacos, and some more uncommon dishes. One of the steak, chicken and sausage dishes is served with a lava stone ball, while two others, available with seafood or steak,
shrimp and chicken, are served in a pineapple and finished with a special sauce. For guests who have a tough time deciding, there is an a la carte menu with selections ranging from tacos with beef or chicken to chalupas, burritos, chimichangas and more. Both the lunch and dinner menus also contain combinations, like one hard taco, one enchilada and one chalupa for a variety of Mexican flavors. Vegetarians will appreciate the selection of meat-free dishes, including three potato enchiladas, quesadilla de espinacas, fajitas and vegetarian chimichangas. Guests do not need to be well versed in Mexican food to decide what they want, as there is a handy key on the menu to help with ordering. On the drink menu, there are plenty of options for margaritas, available in jumbo and pitcher sizes and in flavors like lime, orange, peach and mango. Mexican beer is also available, from Dos Equis on draft to Corona, Tecate, Pacifica and Sol in the bottle. Lunch and drink specials are available from 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. daily, Monday through Saturday, and drink specials are available during the week, Monday through Friday. The restaurant is open daily Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Friday and Saturday until 11 p.m.

The N.H. Fish and Lobster Festival will be held Saturday, Sept. 14, at Prescott Park in Portsmouth. Courtesy photo.

ehoyt@hippopress.com
Summer may be winding down, but seacoast food festivals are heating up. Returning for a fifth year on Saturday, Sept. 14, the New Hampshire Fish and Lobster Festival will bring local seafood delicacies and fishing organizations to Prescott Park in Portsmouth. “I’m really excited to see what the restaurants will will come up with,” said John Moynihan, general manager of Prescott Park Arts Festival. “You always get your chowders and your regular fish, and your fried fish, things like that, but it varies so greatly from year to year.” The New Hampshire Fish and Lobster Festival, often referred to as the “fishtival,” will offer samples from area businesses like Jumpin’ Jay’s Fish Cafe in Portsmouth, N.H., Three Chimneys Inn in Durham, N.H., and the Little Bay Oyster Company, Moynihan said. Creative liberty is given to the restaurants as they prepare their samples for the public, he said. “It really is up to each particular restaurant what they’re going to offer,” he said. “We give them fish and they make whatever sort of great dish they can think of with the fish.” According to Moynihan, the festival encourages restaurants to incorporate unique fish options into their 3-ounce samples. “We’re trying to use the underutilized species,” he said. “Some of the underutilized species we’re looking at are monkfish, archadian red fish, silver hake fish, American plaice, and then of course we’ll have the regulars, mackerel, haddock, lobster.” In addition to the seafood samples, the Prescott Park concession stand will be open during the event. Water, soda and oth-
er beverages will be served there, as well, Moynihan said. “There will be other options. We’ll have hot dogs, popcorn, things like that,” he said. “The point of the festival is that it’s not aimed at just being a food festival — it’s also an educational festival about the fishing industry and why it’s so vital and why it’s so important to the seacoast economy.” Among the activities at the event will be a Seafood Throwdown, featuring youth chefs from the area. The chefs will work with the provided fish to prepare dishes. “Basically what it is is an hour-long cook off similar to Iron Chef or Master Chef,” Moynihan said. “And then we have judges who are going to be tasting the food. The winner will win just notoriety, and they win the opportunity to come back the next season as a judge. We’ve had the cook-off seafood throwdown every year.” Many local fishing organizations will be attending the festival to provide educational demonstrations to guests, Moynihan said. Among the activities at the event will be a touch tank, map charting, and fishing boat tours, he said. “It’s been great seeing the different amount of nonprofit and fishing organizations [in attendance] and, seeing that number grow each year,” he said. “That’s the mission of the festival — to include the seacoast fishing-related organizations. It’s a lot of fun, it really is.”

Lui Lui also has a location in West Lebanon, and the Italian-style restaurant serves pizzas, pastas, and various seafood dishes. “Mainly we do wood-fired Italian options, brickoven pizza, fresh pastas, really good salads,” Macarelli said. “We also do a lot of homemade desserts. According to Macarelli, the restaurant’s customer service attracts guests just as much as its entrees. “I think because of the background that I have where I started as a server and a cook, and then worked my way up to kitchen manager, I’ve sort of done everything, so I have a really good feel for what guests are looking for and what they love.” What is your must-have kitchen item? I would say probably something out of our brick oven. We use fresh kiln-dried wood, and our oven runs all day. ... We roast a lot of our items in our oven. You get a really nice flavor. What would you choose for a last meal on your deathbed? I have a sweet tooth, and we do a lot of desserts here. … There’s a pastry chef that comes in and I had his carrot cake, so I will have to say our pastry chef Aaron’s carrot cake. ...

you have all the ingredients in a 5-foot reach — it’s fun. When you cook in the kitchen at home, it’s just not as much fun. How about your favorite dish on your restaurant’s menu? My favorite dish here would be — I kind of have two. One is the Salmon Al Forno, and that has fresh Atlantic salmon and it’s cooked in white wine. It’s topped with a red pepper aioli, and oven-roasted, served over our homemade risotto. … The second is our artichoke and spinach dip — it’s the best I’ve had. We make it here, and it’s made with cheese blends and fresh spinach. It’s a really, really good appetizer. — Emily Hoyt

FOOd PERISHABLES
Zucchini When life hands you a giant zucchini, make … a whole lot of things. This past Saturday, Life (also known as my gardening neighbor) shared a giant zucchini with me from her garden. It was seriously enormous, and my head immediately started spinning with recipes. I’ve written about zucchini before and shared how I love to sneak it into Italian dishes (it goes so well with red sauce!), but the zucchini with which I cooked was much smaller and not homegrown. Receiving a giant zucchini like the one I got Saturday can be a bit overwhelming. How could our family of three, one of whom has yet to grow teeth, consume this beast of a vegetable? I didn’t want everyone getting sick of eating zucchini, so I had to get creative. Sure, we could slice and grill

it with a little olive oil and seasoning, but cooking it that way could have fed a whole army. I needed a three-pronged approach that would please my whole family and not waste this great gift we’d received. There seem to be innumerable ways to eat zucchini, and I chose three that I’ll share with you today. You may find better ways, but I have to say that my family is happy and the zucchini is gone! Enjoy. — Allison Willson Dudas

carry it for protection and as a badge of honor. In the 14th century, people started using thyme for medicinal purposes, and while research doesn’t back up its healing properties, the herb does contain thymol, an antiseptic still used today in everything from acne medication to mouthwash. All along, thyme has also been used for cooking. In Europe, monasteries “made frequent use of thyme in their breads, soups and roasts.” Today, I keep thyme on hand as one of my favorite go-to pantry ingredients. A dash goes a long way in flavoring recipes, like this one for eggplant involtini. The herb with the zesty lemon is a hit combination and when mixed with rich, creamy ricotta is worthy of most prestigious dinner guests — or the ones just visiting for a home-cooked meal. — Lauren Mifsud

In the fall as my younger siblings head back to college, I get a chance to experience dorm life again, however briefly, when I help them move in. I’m always grateful that I get to return home to my kitchen and homemade meals instead of cafeteria food. My youngest sister, who is a vegetarian, has particular trouble finding nutritious options in the dining hall if she doesn’t want salads every day. So when I found this recipe on a food blog, I immediately thought of her and invited her up for a weekend of home-cooked meals and comfort food. Making a hearty vegetarian meal typically proves tricky for me, but this recipe has all the right ingredients: a substantial vegetable, fresh cheese and a tasty blend of earthy herbs and zesty lemon. I think the unsung hero of this dish is the thyme, which adds a subtle flavor and depth to the recipe. According to Hungry History, an offshoot of History.com, thyme has been “a superstar of the herb garden” for thousands of years. It’s been cited as everything from a symbol of bravery to a remedy for poison. The Romans and Greeks considered thyme a sign of “courage, bravery and strength.” Right into the Middle Ages, soldiers would

ger the better, up to one hour). Press the moisture from the eggplant and blot dry with paper towels. In a saucepan or large skillet, pour olive oil to a depth of about one inch. Heat to 360 degrees. Place three to four eggplant slices in the oil and cook until the vegetable begins to take on color, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the finished slices to a paper-towel lined plate to drain, and repeat with remaining slices. For the filling, combine bread crumbs, ricotta, lemon zest and juice, thyme and salt. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Cover the bottom of a medium-size baking dish with a thin layer of tomato sauce. At the end of each slice of eggplant, heap a spoonful of the filling. Roll the eggplant around the filling and place seam-side down in the dish. Spoon approximately one tablespoon of cream (or less) over each eggplant roll to moisten. Bake for approximately 20 to 25 minutes until edges of the sauce around the dish are nicely caramelized. Garnish with freshly grated cheese before serving.

Blueberry Cake
Very Basic Blueberry Cake Recipe taken from a blueberry-stained card in my mother’s cabinet. ½ cup butter, room temperature 1 cup sugar 2½ cups flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 cup milk 1 pint wild blueberries Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 8- or 9-inch round cake pans.

In the kitchen, however, wild blueberries are more wonderful than weird. If you can’t find them fresh, or they are out of season, look for frozen berries from Wyman’s of Maine. When picking a recipe, choose something that highlights the berry rather than swallows it in a sea of citrus or spice or sugar. Cobbler and pie are reliable choices, or check out recipes for old-fashioned classics like blueberry slump or blueberry grunt. In my family, the go-to recipe has always been this amazingly simple blueberry cake. With just six ingredients and light on the sugar, the cake makes a perfect, humble platform to show off the delights of wild blueberries. If you can resist, let the cake cool overnight and enjoy a slice with your morning coffee; the texture only improves with several hours’ rest. Enjoy. — Sarah Shemkus
Using electric mixer, beat together butter and sugar until smooth and well blended. Beat in half of milk, then dry ingredients, then remaining milk. Batter will be quite thick. Using a rubber spatula, fold in blueberries until evenly distributed. Divide batter between cake pans and spread evenly. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until golden brown around the edges and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on racks at least an hour, until entirely cool; overnight is ideal.

There are blueberries, and then there are wild blueberries. Why anyone would eat the former, at least during the summer months when the latter are so readily available, is something of a mystery to me. To explain, let me offer a bit of blueberry background: According to the Wild Blueberry Association of North America website, the fruit, which is native to North America, grows in two distinct forms. Large, plump highbush blueberries have been cultivated for commercial farming and are the ones you most often see in supermarkets. Lowbush, or “wild,” blueberries are smaller than their commercial cousins and have a lower water content, which translates into a more concentrated punch of blueberry flavor. For my palate, they also just taste better, sweeter and somehow more earthy. And they have significantly higher antioxidant levels than highbush berries. Most of the wild blueberries that show up in New England come from northern Maine and southern Canada, where large stretches of land are given over to blueberry barrens. Covered with low, scrubby bushes, these fields have a distinctive and somewhat surreal appearance.

Pancake Cellars Big Day White Sean Minor Red Wine
sirah, 10 percent syrah and 4 percent malbec. The wine sits somewhere between a maroon and a brick red on the color scale. It has aromas of dried fruits and a bit of the smell that one of us calls “cherry Tootsie Pop” — a blend of cocoa and dried cherry for the more serious sipper. The wine is very lush and juicy (as you might expect from that blend of grapes). It had a chalkiness that reminded one taster of a Cab Franc and offered a pleasant jamminess that made the wine enjoyable to drink on its own as well as with our dinner of onion-y flatbread pizza. Each week in “Red, White & Green,” the wine-lovers taste red and white wines that sell for not too much of the green, less than $20. The goal? To find a good bottle without breaking the bank. Unless otherwise noted, the prices listed are what you’ll find the bottles selling for at the New Hampshire Wine & Liquor Outlet.

Not sure what you’re in the mood for — chardonnay or pinot blanc, merlot or syrah? How about a blend? The 2012 Pancake Cellars Big Day White from Paso Robles, California, ($5.49 at Trader Joe’s) is a perfect example of why a blend can be a good bet. This white contains, according to the label, 37 percent chardonnay, 23 percent sauvignon blanc, 15 percent viognier, 15 percent pinot blanc and 10 percent muscat canelli. We thought the wine might tend to be on the sweet side, but actually it’s a good balance of the best characteristics of all the grapes. On the nose, we detected aromas of honey, kiwi and flowers — all smells you might get from a muscat. The flavor let the viognier and sauvignon blanc shine. The sweetness from the muscat was balanced by a roundness from the viognier and the sharpness of the sauvignon blanc, with the chardonnay giving the wine backbone. Thoroughly pleasant to sip on its own, this wine was great with food — and pretty much any food. The sweetness and butteriness give the wine the ability to stand up to big flavors and spicy food while the sharpness could help it cut through fattier fare. The 2009 Sean Minor Red Wine from Napa Valley (on sale for $19.99; regularly priced $21.99) is another excellent example of how blends are more pleasant to sip (and easier to pair with food) than a single varietal. According to the winemaker’s website, this blend features 30 percent merlot, 23 petit verdot, 17 percent zinfandel, 16 percent petite

A look at New Hampshire’s wine scene By Stefanie Phillips food@hippopress.com
There’s a lot of news to talk about in New Hampshire’s wine world, and it’s all good.
Hermit Woods wins medals
Hermit Woods Winery in Sanbornton had great success with its wine this summer, taking home medals at several competitions. At the Indy International Wine Competition in Indianapolis, the winery took home silver medals for its Petite Blue Reserve and Lake House White. The Indy is the largest scientifically organized and independent wine competition in the United States. This year’s competition received nearly 2,200 entries from 15 countries and 40 U.S. states, evaluated by 50 distinguished judges. In other wine competitions this summer, Hermit Woods took home a total of six more gold, silver, and bronze medals. Other award winners include a gold medal for its Three Honey Wine at the Mazer Cup, the world’s premier mead competition; a silver medal for its Mélange; a bronze medal for its Petite Blue in the Fingerlakes International Wine Competition; a silver for its Heirloom Crabapple; and a bronze for its Kiwi Wine and Petite Blue in the Big E wine competition in Springfield, Mass. “We have only been entering wines for competition for a couple years now and have yet to come home without a medal. We are very proud of this accomplishment,” Bob Manley, one of three winery partners, said in a winery announcement. “Winning medals is important, but what is most important to us is what our customers have to say. As long as we are making them happy, we will be happy.” Past medals include a silver medal for Three Honey Wine and Crabapple Wine. Hermit Woods Winery opened in 2011, so these accomplishments are impressive, but I am not surprised it has seen so much success. The wines are good and unique, and it is obvious that winemaker Ken Hardcastle really thinks about ingredients, using them to their full potential. I love visiting the winery and listening to him talk about each wine, because his passion and dedication are evident. The tasting room is also very nice, so if you haven’t visited yet, put it on your to-do list before the winery closes for the winter. Visit hermitwoods.com.
Sweet Baby label release
This weekend, Sweet Baby Vineyard in East Kingston is holding its Label Release Weekend event, celebrating its new line of wine labels. On Saturday, Sept, 14,
from noon to 8 p.m. and Sunday, Sept. 15, from noon to 5 p.m., you can sample wines (some even right from the barrel), cheese, wine jellies and desserts, or purchase an item to take home. They will have the new wines, cabernet sauvignon and pinot grigio, to taste as well. This event is free and gives you an opportunity to visit the new and beautiful tasting room in East Kingston if you haven’t already. Like Hermit Woods Winery, Sweet Baby Vineyard is committed to using local fruit in its wines and supporting local farms. The new labels list the New Hampshire farms that grow their fruit. They also note that the winery donates 10 percent of profits to local farmers. There will be a 25-percent discount to anyone who purchases wines with the new labels — 16 in total. The series is normally $215 but will be $161.25 during the weekend. So leave some room in your trunk, because I can guarantee you will want to buy some wine while you are there, and this is a great deal. For more info, visit sweetbabyvineyard.com.
Lakes Region Barrel Tasting
On Oct. 4 and Oct. 5, Lakes Region area wineries will be having their annual Barrel Tasting Weekend event. This is like a regular wine tasting, but you will have the opportunity to taste wines not fully aged yet and in some cases right out of the barrel! Participating wineries include Hermit Woods, Haunting Whisper Vineyards in Danbury, Coffin Cellars in Webster, Gilmanton Winery in Gilmanton, Stone Gate Vineyard in Gilford and newcomer Newfound Lake Vineyards in Bristol. Anyone who visits more than one winery will have the chance to win some great prizes donated by local businesses. This event is free, unless you have to purchase a tasting glass. I highly recommend this event. I went for the first time last year with a group of friends, and we all had a blast. Visit hermitwoods.com/events/barrel-tasting.
Lakes Region uncorked
Finally, a little farther out on the horizon, on Nov. 2 some of the same Lakes Region wineries will be participating in Lakes Region Uncorked, an event for Lakes Region Community Services. This event is a fun and educational opportunity to enjoy locally made wine, mead, beer and food. Carla Snow of A Grape Affair is offering a Wine Tasting Educational Session. Tickets are $50 in advance and the list of vendors looks fabulous. Visit uncorked2013-efbevent.eventbrite.com.

There are very few CDs from newer bands landing on this desk that jibe with the listening preferences of former goths who were around when the genre wasn’t so, shall we say, corporately plotted. This Indiana band didn’t start that way, either — if anything, its metamorphosis from the crazed rant-punkers of its first LP to the Bauhaus-gloom-kids of Disconnect mirrors the trajectory of Wire, meaning it has a lot of freedom and isn’t afraid to use it. Atop the 1980s-authentic rubber-band guitar lines and jacked-spaghetti-western Joy Division ideology, singer Tim Glick throws down crazy-guy bellowing that immediately makes you think of Jim Morrison (“Stranger”), but that’s just one of his shticks, the list of which includes a hiccupping Gary Numan sound and, well, basic Peter Murphy. Who knows, maybe next time they add a little metal and go for the Sisters of Mercy-reborn angle, which is long overdue, isn’t it? Meantime, this is a can’t-miss if you think black is the new black.

I know for a fact that I didn’t invent the term “crook-leg” to describe the stunted 1980s-new-wave dancing that still finds its way onto modern hipster dance floors, but a reality-check of Google only seemed to find articles that I’ve written, which does make me feel important, if you really want to know. With that, let’s continue, as the term would definitely apply to this irresistible Cardiff, U.K., quintet, who, to read its Facebook page and stuff, is having as much fun with all this rock n roll business as The Who did back in 1965 or whenever it was. One of the kids looks like a teenage Pete Townshend, while we’re at it, but The Who comparison ends there, as what’s on the docket here is a perfectly executed mixture of noise-pop, Buzzcocks-punk and shoegaze, their band name a well-deserved poke at the annoyingly popular Olive-Oyl-voiced harpist. Mononymed lead singer Alanna is by turns ghost-quiet and Karen O crazy, although the guitar lines don’t telegraph these moods, throbbing and thrashing their way through just about everything, stopping only here and there to screw around with a little noise experimentation. An instant go-to album for old and new punks. A+ — Eric W. Saeger

• Reverse-engineered mall-hipster dance-rockers MGMT release their third LP, which is self-titled for irony, next week. It features the song “Your Life Is a Lie,” a heavily syncopated corporate-hipster-dance track — think Devo, but bored — in which they poke fun at middle-class life and values. At least that’s what it looks like in the video, and then, uh oh, your wife is actually a man in this video! What are these disaffected, tiresome hipster-rockers trying to tell me? My middle-class lifestyle isn’t actually a lifestyle, even though I pay taxes, or are they telling me my wife is a man? If my wife is actually a man, will my taxes be lower, because I’d be due a refund? • Hot diggity, it’s Yoko Ono, let’s see how weird, disturbing and unlistenable this new album will be when it streets on Tuesday! The title is Take Me To The Land of Hell, which may be a secret hidden reference to being stuck in a land where Yoko Ono songs are playing all the time, such as the lead single, “Tabetai,” which has a weird beatnik-chill loop with tambourines and 1980s keyboards, and ... oops, wait, there she is, being nutty, singing about various foods, like an old-lady version of MF Doom, and OMG there’s nothing to eat, you guys, and here come the crazy fishbrained squeals and random utterances that must mean something on her planet. Her record company accepts Visa and Mastercard. • Sleepy Hawaiian surf-folkie Jack Johnson releases his sixth album, From Here To Now To You, next week. He’s sort of the Millennial version of James Taylor, wouldn’t you say? I mean, here I sit, trying to keep myself from rocking back and forth happily and slowly while listening to this album’s campfire-ready single, “I Got You,” because he whistles a few of the parts, and it sounds perfect for a Maxwell House commercial about smiling and drinking instant coffee around a campfire, which is where this is all leading — Maxwell House commercials direct from the Matrix, whistling sweet songs that you Millennials can sing to your babies, who will grow up wondering why you spent all your time singing and whistling Jack Johnson songs instead of working to prevent global warming so your children could breathe without having to wear special Bane face-masks. • Cripes, whatever other stupid garbage do I have to … ohwait, bwahaha, it’s Gwar! Way cool, this week’s column just finished itself! This new Gwar album is called Battle Maximus, which probably means something important in pig-Latin, but who cares, let’s check out this thing, oi? Haha, the single from this musical trash-heap of a band is called “Madness at the Core of Time,” and … wait, why does this thrashing, angry, um, “song” sound like the band only had a few rolls of quarters to pay for its studio production? Was it recorded in their bathroom? Or … wait … was it recorded in MY bathroom? If my wife is a man and Gwar is randomly recording albums in my bathroom, can MGMT’s hipness help me get a legal settlement? — Eric W. Saeger

Work for the state’s leading weekly
Enon, by Paul Harding (Random House, 238 pages)
B2B Outside Sales Representative We’ve always swum against the stream at HippoPress, from our unusual name to our continued growth both in terms of circulation and advertising sales.

effect. Even before Kate’s death, Charlie had been extraordinarily involved with his daughter, and with her death came the erosion of everything, “the engines of ruin.” Enon flips between back stories of Charlie’s childhood, and Kate’s, and spins a carousel on which ride the quirky inhabitants of a New England village. But this is chiefly a book about suffering, and as such, it’s not just the protagonist who suffers. When, near the end, an elderly townie scolds Charlie, “Enough is enough,” we want to applaud, having desired to yell “Snap out of it, already” at him repeatedly since January. To go on much longer would be reader abuse. Is Publishers Weekly right in deeming Harding “a contemporary master and one of our most important writers”? It seems a little premature for one who has only published two books, but Harding’s language and ideas are memorable even as they disturb. “Houses retain traces of the people who have lived in them and I feel those traces immediately whenever I step into one,” Charlie says, remembering how he and Susan looked for a home in their budget before Kate was born. “A given house would seem like a repository of misery, a deliberate prison in which successions of families had huddled and cowered from one another for decades. It seemed criminal for the real estate agents to talk up such miserable wrecks, as if they could ever be homes again for reasonable, peaceable souls, as if they should not have been demolished and the land on which they stood rededicated in special, purgative ceremonies.” With passages like these, it seems rude to bring up a quibble, which is that the first-person narration never reflects the deterioration of Charlie’s mental state. Even as he lurches through the pages, unshowered and unshaven, reeking like the dead with whom he converses, Charlie seems too erudite, too eloquent, for an unemployed landscaper ruffling the edges of sanity. He talks like a Pulitzer Prize winner; imagine that. A —Jennifer Graham
Thirty pages into Enon, I had to abandon it until I read Tinkers. Yes, you can enjoy Paul Harding’s second novel without reading his first, which won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for fiction. But the protagonist of Enon is the grandson of Tinkers’ George Washington Crosby, and with every reference to the past — and there are many — it seemed I was missing something vital. After all, the dead play a major role in this book: “There are certainly more citizens of Enon beneath its fifty-four hundred acres than there are above it. Just below our feet, on the other side of the surface of the earth, there is another, subterranean Enon, which conceals its secret business by conducting it too slowly for its purposes to be observed by the living.” But Enon, while familiar in territory and tone, is no Tinkers 2, and prior knowledge of the Crosby dynasty is not necessary to absorb this aching elegy of a book. Spoiler alert, though: This is not a feelgood story. In fact, it may leave you profoundly disturbed. The book opens with Charlie Crosby hiking in the woods, thinking about what he will grill for dinner and how his late grandfather taught him to feed birds out of his hand, just like Charlie taught his daughter. Then Charlie’s wife calls. Kate, their only child, is dead, hit by a car while riding her bike on one of New England’s treacherous, curving roads. Holding the phone, Charlie watches as his old life swims away, feeling “as if I’d been struck on the head and could not shake my brain back into place.” After 13-year-old Kate is cremated, her remains deposited into a pewter urn, Charlie plunges his fist into a wall, breaking his hand and enabling the acquisition of pills that kill both physical and emotional pain when taken in large quantities and in the company of alcohol. Charlie’s wife soon departs — turns out, forever — and so there is no one to disapprove of his new lifestyle, which involves chain smoking, drinking whisky out of dirty cups, eating stale cereal with water, and roaming around Enon on foot all night. Well, there’s no one to disapprove, Paul Harding will speak at Riverexcept for Kate — who Charlie conjures Run Bookstore in Portsmouth at 7 p.m. up regularly in his decaying psyche, and Sept. 13 and Gibson’s Bookstore in who sometimes chastises her father for Concord at 1 p.m. Sept. 14. his behavior, though not to any great

(To be exact: in the United States, a teaspoon is 4.93 ml. In Europe, a teaspoon is 3.55 ml.) Morgan, who wrote and is directing the short, came up with the idea over an argument he had with some of his coworkers. He had brought a pulled pork and barbecue sandwich to work, which somehow led to talking about cooking measurements. “I thought there were four teaspoons in a tablespoon. We Googled it. I was wrong,” Morgan said. “On my ride home, I thought ‘I’m baking like a European.’ People tell me I bake well. European methods are obviously superior.” Morgan said he came up with “ridiculous, Monty Python-ish ideas” as to why the measurements are different and ran with a plot that involves baking as a resolution to the Cold War.

events like the Cuban Missile Crisis. The short follows a clueless reporter named Mike, whose friend John (the baker) was murdered right before his book, The Baker’s Secret, was published. Mike is tasked with finishing the project for his dead friend; the only problem is that there’s a Russian hitman from the European Baking Mafia (Gros Pane) named Chef Ivan standing in the way. Morgan is a Web developer by day, a filmmaker by night, and a two-time veteran of the New Hampshire 48 Hour Film Festival. The other people involved with this project are Greg Lacert, who plays John, the baker; Maxwell, who plays Chef Ivan; Robert Kersey, who is working on the film’s sound; Felicia Flanagan, who plays Becky, a spy; and Billy Pomerleau, who plays Mike. A good cast, good sound and good lighting are all important aspects in making an independent film work, Morgan said. It’s certainly easier to do today, he said, as the technology required is better and less expensive. “I started making films in college, when it was done on VHS tapes. The editing system today that will cost you $800 would have cost you $30,000 or more. Technology prices have dropped to the point where you can make a pretty good-looking film on your own,” Morgan said. The film is supposed to be a funny, 10-minute piece that Morgan hopes to have finished by the end of the month.
POP CULTURE film reviews by amy diaz
Rated R for strong violence, language and some sexual content/nudity. Directed by David Twohy with a screenplay by Oliver Butcher and Stephen Cornwell (based on characters by Jim Wheat & Ken Wheat), Riddick is an hour and 59 minutes long and distributed by Universal Pictures.
Riddick ( R)
Vin Diesel gets back to the basics of being a bad-ass warrior in Riddick, a follow-up to 2004’s The Chronicles of Riddick.
Remember how that movie had, like, Judi Dench and a whole lotta plot? There were Necrosomethings and some kind of allegory about religion and also Thandie Newton, apparently? While this movie starts with a glimpse of some of that, Riddick quickly gets down to the business of trying to recreate the elements that made Pitch Black a cult favorite: namely, putting Diesel on a weird planet full of deadly CGI animals and having him fight them off while also dealing with a small group of killable bounty hunters. Riddick (Vin Diesel) is left on a planet that looks vaguely like what the southern California desert might look like after a few hours of Photoshop. Though injured and illequipped, he Man Vs. Wilds it, eventually killing and curing a CGI-something so he has meat while he travels and raising a CGI dog-thing from a pup so as to have a buddy and a few moments of comic relief. He also spends an incredibly long time building up immunity to a swamp creature that stings and kills land animals and guards the path to what looks like a plusher place for Riddick to settle. Eventually, Riddick and his dog come to an unmanned outpost and, in hopes of getting a ship that will take him to find his home world, he pushes the beacon that lets bounty hunters know that he, escaped criminal Riddick, is on the planet. This beacon calls Santana (Jordi Molla), leader of a group of mean and scruffy-looking bounty hunters. It also calls to a second, military-looking ship led by a man named Johns (Matt Nable), who is the father to a guy in Pitch Black, which the movie has to explain because seriously, who remem-

bers that? Also, on that ship is a tough gal named Dahl (Katee Sackoff, who apparently still had some Starbuck left to get out of her system). The meat of this movie, where Riddick and a bunch of toughs fight each other and also the environment, exists on a timeless, location-nonspecific plane that seems wholly removed from all the backstory about Furyans and Necromongers and other nonsense that so completely bogged down the last movie. It’s good that this movie gets rid of all that, but it also leads to scenes where scruffy mercenary types talk to each other in modern American vernacular with modern cadence and my brain couldn’t figure out what to do with all the information being presented. Is this the future of our universe or some other place? Do I have to care about the backstory at all? Do I have to care about the people who aren’t Riddick? I think the key to getting enjoyment out of this movie is to mentally slice away any talk of plot from previous movies or other window dressings of this

Keep your brain focused there. As with a meal at a tasty but not particularly clean restaurant, noticing details not directly pertaining to what is happening on your plate is not advisable. Of course, Riddick isn’t exactly the holein-the-wall so good that you’d risk a little salmonella for it. When you do focus tightly on just the fighting and the monsters and the task at hand, then you have to come to terms with Diesel, whose acting style is very similar in a lot of not-particularly-awesome ways to late-model Sylvester Stallone. He can be fun but he doesn’t ever rise beyond the level of, as Honest Trailers once described him, a passable action hero. Riddick isn’t the worst vaguely sci-fi action-ish movie you’ll watch on FX some Sunday evening five months from now, but it’s not the best thing likely to be on that night either. C+

Valentin (Eugenio Derbez, who also directed the movie and has a contributing writer credit) seems to have a different girl every night, gently pushing them out the door whenever they start to get serious. Living in Acapulco, his romantic adventuring isn’t too difficult — after all, an endless supply of tourists is available for commitment-free flings. One such woman, an American named Julie (Jessica Lindsey), returns about a year and a half after their first meeting and presents to Valentin baby Maggie, his daughter. She asks for $10 to go pay for the cab but never comes back. He tries to get her at the airport but instead watches as she leaves Mexico to return to America, leaving him with the baby. He decides to follow her to Los Angeles but, while Maggie has a passport, Valentin does not, so he has to sneak into the country and then realizes if he tries to go home again, Maggie will likely be taken away. An attempt to find Julie at a hotel leads Valentin to a chance encounter with Frank Ryan (Daniel Raymont), a filmmaker who sees Valentin perform a spectacular stunt to save Maggie from drowning in the hotel pool.

speak English and has few other job opportunities in America — to work as a stunt man. This way, he can provide for Maggie, who, Valentin realizes after the search for Julie goes cold, is now his full-time responsibility. As in many a man-and-a-baby movie that came before, Valentin is soon a devoted father to elementary-school-aged Maggie (Loreto Peralta). Having made excuses for why Julie can’t be with them all these years, Valentin is shocked when Julie, now a successful lawyer in New York City, reenters their life. This and a mysterious health situation threaten to change the odd but happy life Valentin has created for Maggie. This is a little reductive but I think the way to consider Instructions Not Included (whose actual title is No Se Aceptan Devoluciones) is as Mexican Bollywood. It is something that, though screening in American theaters (I caught it at the AMC Methuen) and including settings in America and characters who occasionally speak English, is not exactly of mainstream American movie culture. As with many a Bollywood film, Instructions Not Included is broader in its tone than most American movies — it encompasses family-comedy-style humor, raunchier humor, an immigration story and full-on three-hanky melodrama in a mix that seems occasionally jarring and a little cornball. And it is, er, more variable in quality — of writing and acting but also overall film presentation — than an American audience might be used to. “Cartoonish” would be a fair word to use with some of the minor characters, but then you have Derbez, who I know best from his role in the smart and sweet 2007 film Under the Same Moon (Spanish title La Misma Luna). He is a very solid actor, particularly when

The “chooseable path adventure” (which is the non-trademarked way of saying Choose Your Own Adventure) was an interactive book for before our books could be plugged in to stuff, so it’s a natural fit with our iPad/nook/Kindle reading ways. Ryan North raised more than half a million dollars to pair the concept with the ultimate “so what do you do now?” story — Hamlet — for To Be or Not To Be, which was released in August. I was too impatient to wait for the paperback, available through Amazon for $22.06 new, so I downloaded the Kindle version, which, of course, you can also read via your iPad. I’m sure the paperback version is lovely, but this seems to be the book to read if you’re one of those people who still isn’t sure about reading on your iThingie. The quick links to the choices — such as one section where, reading as Ophelia, you must decide if you 24/7 want to make out with Hamlet while waiting for his ghost dad to appear or not make out because, ew, what if his ghost dad shows up? — make for a more pleasurable choosingand-reading experience than the standard page flip. The e-book does a good job of mixing the text, Yorick skulls that indicate it’s time to make a choice and illustrations that depict the ends of the different adventures. And, as for the story, while, sure, Shakespeare’s version never included Ophelia’s creation of central heating or Claudius’ trial for regicide, the various paths that the story can take — based on choices that start with whether you’re playing as Ophelia, Hamlet or, as the book puts it, “Hamlet Sr.” — this book offers both short, enjoyable yarns (perfect when you’re looking to read something for five minutes before bedtime) and the comforting sense that your college literature classes are indeed useful in daily life.

it comes to blending genuine emotion with broader physical comedy. For these reasons, Instructions Not Included is not, perhaps, a great movie but it is a fascinating one. Derbez creates a believable father-daughter relationship with Peralta, and its twists, positioned rather obviously for maximum tear-jerking effect, did actually make me, you know, feel feelings. (Apparently what Pam said in The Office about kids making one soft is true; “that poor gimp is somebody’s child” was her post-motherhood reaction to Pulp Fiction.) I gave something between an under-the-breath chuckle and a genuine outloud laugh to a good 25 to 30 percent of the humor, particularly a cute joke about Alfonso Cuaron and his upcoming movie Gravity. And that moment highlighted one of the more interesting facets of the movie: while I, who left attempts at learning Spanish behind after freshman year of college, could understand the English subtitles, and a Spanish-language speaker would be at home with the bulk of the dialogue and references, the viewer who probably gets the most out of the movie is one who speaks Spanish and English, who knows Mexican and American culture. The, for lack of a better word, freshness of this set-up and the genuine human emotion that underpins some of the silliness helps make it possible to forgive the movie a lot of its flaws. BRated PG-13 for sexual content, thematic elements and language. Directed by Eugenio Derbez and written by Guillermo Rios & Leticia Lopez Margalli and Eugenio Derbez, Instructions Not Included is an hour and 55 minutes long and distributed by Pantelion Films.

Nite Roundup By Michael Witthaus
mwitthaus@hippopress.com
• All original: Patrik Gochez released the lush Heavy Loader last year; he promptly traded his big studio band for a power trio, dubbed Pat & the Hats. It’s still a full sound, as Gochez switches from guitar to piano, working through originals that recall White Album-era Beatles. The young band is making a big splash on the local scene with energy, chops and a deft command of songcraft. See Pat & the Hats on Thursday, Sept. 12, at 9 p.m. at Penuche’s Ale House, 6 Pleasant St., Concord. See patrikgochez.com. • Self-taught: Before they began busking around the subways of New York City in 2006, no one in the Felice Brothers could play an instrument. The rootsy quintet has come a long way since then, and these days its raucous barroom Americana sound is tempered by quieter tunes like “Dallas,” a somber gem from 2011’s Celebration, Florida. See The Felice Brothers on Friday, Sept. 13, at 7 p.m. at The Press Room, 77 Daniel St., Portsmouth. Tickets are $22 at pressroomnh.com. • Triple up: A Nashua movie theater becomes a comedy club once a month, this time with three of the best funny men around. Robbie Printz, who riffs hilariously on family life, was recently named New Hampshire’s Best Working Comic; Rob Steen is both a great standup and the godfather of New England’s comedy scene. Jay Grove rounds out a great bill. See Live Comedy on Saturday, Sept. 14, at 9 p.m. at Chunky’s Cinema Pub, 151 Coliseum Ave., Nashua. Tickets are $20 at chunkys.com. • Green trail: A 5K road race in the morning is followed by a Celtic festival as the city’s flagship Irish pub marks the halfway point to St. Patrick’s Day 2014. Brigid’s Cross and Marty Quirk perform traditional music from the Emerald Isle, with help from New Hampshire Pipe & Drum Corps, local cloggers and step dancers. Mayor Ted Gatsas will stop by to read a proclamation. Attend Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day on Sunday, Sept. 15, at Wild Rover Pub, 21 Kosciuszko St., Manchester. See www.wildroverpub.com. • Purple blues: With her soulful, ebullient voice, Gracie Curran could be the love child of Van Morrison and Janis Joplin. The Boston singer’s latest album dropped as she and her band took the stage in Memphis. See Gracie Curran & The High Falutin’ Band on Saturday, Sept. 14, at 9 p.m. at The Purple Pit, 3 Pleasant St., Concord. Tickets are $15; see thepurplepit.com.

NITE Radio roadshow
Live program hits Tupelo By Michael Witthaus
mwitthaus@hippopress.com
Tune in to 106.3 Frank FM and most of the time you’ll hear an instantly recognizable song by Journey, Nirvana or the Rolling Stones. But every Sunday night the music comes from closer to home on the Local Music Show, and host Chris DeSimone is confident that among area performers like MB Padfield, A Simple Complex and Leaving Eden is a future star. “We call the show your home for future classics,” said DeSimone recently. “One of these bands is going to be played one day on this station.” The show debuted in March 2009, and beginning in July the show hit the road as Brooks Young Band played the first Live At Frank’s Place spotlight at Tupelo Music Hall in Londonderry. In August, singer/songwriter Chris Trapper mesmerized the crowd. “Talk about capturing a room,” said DeSimone. “I looked around … all eyes were on Chris. It was amazing, a real special night.” The monthly series continues Sept. 18 with the rootsy Tammy Lynn & Myles High. “I’m trying to present a different sound at Frank’s Place. We’re trying to shake the sound up and rockabilly is really fun.” In October, it’s Charlie Farren, a veteran rocker frequently heard on the “Local Lost and Found” segment of the Sunday night program spotlighting veteran performers. “Charlie Farren, Jon Butcher, Johnny A, Chris Fitz are great role models,” said DeSimone. “They are the rock stars that were influencing me to get into radio.” DeSimone hosted a similar program called Unsigned Heroes when he worked at B-106 in the 1990s, but it foundered because of

“limited venues and interest in kids making music, which surprised me,” he said. “Five years ago, I could see the scene was much better than the one I walked away from.” So good, in fact, that attempts to launch a roadshow were challenged by success. “The scene’s so good right now, no one wanted to give up their venue,” said DeSimone. The arrival of salesman Steve Friedman from Boston station The River reignited the project. “We were on the same page about getting a Live at Frank’s night going, and within two months we had Tupelo,” DeSimone said. The Londonderry concert hall is an ideal location. “In a perfect world, Tupelo was the venue,” said DeSimone. “The cabaret seating is perfect for what we do, they have great sound and an amazing crew on the boards. It was just a matter of making it happen.” After opening with blues-rock followed by Trapper’s intimate Storytellers appearance, the married duo of Tammy and Mike Myles reinforce an “expect the unexpected” notion for DeSimone. He met the couple when they were part of Raising Scarlet; their appearance on the Local Music Show was

one of his favorites. “I’m attracted to the fusion of what they’re doing, with a big band sound and rockabilly — they are über talented,” he said. “Mike was the only person ever to walk in to my studio with a standup bass. The sound was phenomenal. It was one of the first times I thought as a band was finishing, ‘God I hope that came out alright on tape because I want to use that again and again.’ Their original songs are fantastic.” The Live at Frank’s Place series happens the second or third Wednesday of the month and is booked into next year. The radio version of the local showcase is currently heard only at Frank’s 106.3 spot on the dial, but there’s work to bring it farther north (the station is in Nashua). “We just added 99.1 in Concord, and my current behind-the-scenes thing is to get the Local Music Show on in Concord,” said DeSimone, “for the exact reason that it is the next hot spot.”
Millyard music space
Amoskeag Studio welcomes original artists By Michael Witthaus
mwitthaus@hippopress.com
After photographer Matthew Lomanno relocated from a shared workspace in downtown Manchester to his own studio in the city’s historic Mill District, he began brainstorming ways to leverage the new digs. One day musician friend Joe Deleault came by for a photo
shoot; he told Lomanno that the high ceiling, brick walls and hardwood floor would make it a great location for live music. “I already had the idea for it as a venue; then he praised its acoustics,” Lomanno said as he sat on a couch near an easel-mounted photo of a saxophone held by two large hands. His friend’s suggestion provided an important validation
— Deleault is a keyboard veteran, with studio credits including Carly Simon, CJ Chenier, Jon Bon Jovi and other big names. With that bug in his ear, the wheels turned quickly. Soon, the first show was booked at Amoskeag Studio: pianist Johannes Wallmann, who appeared in mid-July with a quintet. The next month, Ian
Ethan Case performed on his double-neck Ovation guitar. Fittingly, the next musical guest is Deleault, bringing a Celtic band called The Reel Tuckermans to play on Sunday, Sept. 15. It will be an authentic “halfway to St. Patrick’s Day” event, with top-notch fiddle player Ellen Carlson (Sweet, Hot & Sassy) in the group. For the late afternoon con-
certs, players work in the back of the L-shaped studio framed by two massive windows, creating a perfect natural light. An audience of around 40 to 60 people sits in folding chairs or grabs a piece of floor. It’s loose and can be very intimate. “The first band that came through was traveling,” Lomanno said. “Their suitcases and guitar cases were on stage — there’s no closet.” Lomanno aims to keep the lineup eclectic, even moving beyond music in some cases. Storyteller Odds Bodkins is due in October for two Halloween themed shows; the first is kids-centric followed by a scarier one for adults. The jazzy Back Bay Guitar Trio, a marquee group often seen in bigger venues, is featured in November. There is one constant — original talent. “The main interest — what is going to keep it going — is … a culture that respects and enjoys live performances and art in person versus through a recording or book,” said Lomanno. “There are a lot of Nightlife Music, Comedy & Parties • JOEY VOICES will perform at the Ocean Gaming Casino (81 Ocean Blvd., Hampton) Sat., Sept. 14, 7-10 p.m. Joey Voices is a singing impressionist and will perform at this benefit for Wings & Hooves Therapeutic Riding.

different places you can do that in Manchester, but not the kind of performances we'll be presenting here.” Each event will feature a visual artist exhibiting works and occasionally offering items for sale. Contemporary impressionist painter Toshihide Takekoshi will complement the September show by Deleault et.al. The vibe is a mix of private party and Knitting Factory performance space. Crucially, it’s far removed from the downtown club scene. “The difference between those venues and here,” said Lomanno, “is we’re not selling anything but the music.” Lomanno, who also teaches humanities at St. Anselm College, is an energetic hometown booster who jumped at the chance to build upon the growing original music scene. Fortunately, a few details-oriented friends tempered his damn-the-torpedoes attitude. “I’m the kind of guy for better or worse just wants to do things, so I have people looking out for me,” he said. “They have helped me get through the process.” Turnout has grown with each show, and the positive feedback spurs Lomanno forward to book even more and varied talent for future events. “The response has been tremendous,” he said. “People love the experience and the intimacy. The musicians are right here, and the audience can sit and chat with them and break down that barrier. I’m a music lover and an artist, so it’s something that I really appreciate as well.”

Road to the blues
Jeff Dearborn to reunite with mentor at Cap Center By Cory Francer
cfrancer@hippopress.com
Jeff Dearborn’s journey to the blues began on a two-and-a-half-hour drive through Vermont two decades ago. Dearborn was sick and tired of hearing the same stuff on the radio and on a whim bought a John Lee Hooker cassette tape while in line at a checkout counter. Over the course of the drive, he played the tape front to back again and again until eventually the tape deck tore it apart. The tape was destroyed, but those few hours were all it took to get Dearborn hooked on the blues. He said when he got home to Concord, he raided the shelves at Pitchfork Records, buying as many CDs as he could to feed his new obsession. But Dearborn wasn’t satisfied just listening to the blues. He needed to play it. He said he bought a harmonica, but it was not in the right key and he could never get it to sound anything like the recordings he played through his speakers. A friend recommended they go to a now defunct blues club in Antrim to see a blues harmonica Jeff Dearborn and the Contoocook Blues Society with Cheryl Arena When: Saturday, Sept. 14, at 8 p.m. Where: Spotlight Cafe at the Capitol Center for the Arts, 44 S.

player from Boston named Cheryl Arena. That, Dearborn said, is when his life took another welcome turn. “We sat down, and when I first started to hear her play, my jaw hit the floor,” he said. “It was just what I wanted to do.” After seeing Arena play a few more times, Dearborn said, he worked up the courage to ask her if she would give him a lesson. With some pleading, Arena relented. At age 46, with no background in music, Dearborn began the slow process of learning his way around the tiny instrument. He studied with Arena for five years and has since become a mainstay of the local music scene. Behind a scruffy beard, sharp harmonica skills and thick New Hampshire accent, he fronts his own band, Jeff Dearborn and the Contoocook Blues Society. On Saturday, Sept. 14, Dearborn and Arena will share the stage, when she joins the Contoocook Blues Society for a concert at the Capitol Center for the Arts’ Spotlight Cafe. Though originally from Boston, Arena spent the last eight years living in Dallas. She said she moved to Texas because at the time it was a hotbed for the blues. But she missed her home and the electric blues scene in Boston and recently moved back. Arena’s skills on the harmonica have brought her on tours around the world. Now that she’s back home, Arena said she’s itching to get back in the studio to record a follow-up to her album Blues Got Me. “To me it’s all about the groove,” Arena said. “I hate it when I buy a CD and all of the songs sound the same. My CDs are usually very diverse in style.”

Though until recently she had to watch from afar, Arena said she has been impressed with how far Dearborn has come. The instrument may be small, she said, but it’s one of the most challenging to master. “When I get a student like Jeff who really wants to learn, progresses the way he has and now has his own band and, I’m so proud of him,” Arena said. “Most of them quit, because it’s not that easy.” But Dearborn said the blues was never meant to be easy, and he appreciates Arena’s approach. “She’s a tough teacher, but that’s what works,” he said. “I want someone to tell me what I’m doing wrong, not what I’m doing right.”

All quotes are from Make Way for Ducklings, by Robert McCloskey, born Sept. 15, 1914. Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) Mr. and Mrs. Mallard were looking for a place to live. But every time Mr. Mallard saw what looked like a nice place, Mrs. Mallard said it was no good. There were sure to be foxes in the woods or turtles in the water, and she was not going to raise a family where there might be foxes or turtles. When it comes to your living arrangements, it’s OK to be a little picky. Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) When they got to Boston, they felt too tired to fly any further. There was a nice pond in the Public Garden, with a little island on it. “The very place to spend the night,” quacked Mr. Mallard. When you’re tired, stop and rest. Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) Next morning they fished for their breakfast in the mud at the bottom of the pond. But they didn’t find much. If you fish in the mud, you won’t get much of a breakfast. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) So they chose a cozy spot among the bushes near the water and settled down to build their nest. And only just in time, for now they were beginning to molt. All their old wing feathers started to drop out, and they would not be able to fly again until the new ones grew in. Prepare for exciting changes in your everyday activities. Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) An old lady from Beacon Hill said: “Isn’t it amazing!” and the man who swept the streets said: “Well, now, ain’t that nice!” and when Mrs. Mallard heard them she was so proud she tipped her nose in the air and walked along with an extra swing in her waddle. Soak up the compliments while you can. Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Michael fed them peanuts, and after that the MalNiTE SuDoKu
Valid for pickup in tri-city area only.*
lards called on Michael every day. Go where the snacks are. Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) “Look out!” squawked Mrs. Mallard, all of a dither. “You’ll get run over!” And when she got her breath she added: “This is no place for babies, with all those horrid things rushing about. We’ll have to look somewhere else.” Some time away from the hustle and bustle would do you good. Aries (March 21 – April 19) After Mrs. Mallard had laid eight eggs in the nest she couldn’t go to visit Michael any more, because she had to sit on the eggs to keep them warm. You can support a bored friend by offering good conversation and treats. Taurus (April 20 – May 20) When they came to the corner of Beacon Street there was the police car with four policemen that Clancy had sent from headquarters. The policemen held back the traffic so Mrs. Mallard and the ducklings could march across the street, right on into the Public Garden. Yield to those who need yielding to. Gemini (May 21 – June 20) One day Mr. Mallard decided he’d like to take a trip to see what the rest of the river was like, further on. So off he set. “I’ll meet you in a week, in the Public Garden,” he quacked over his shoulder. You’ll have to work extra to cover for a vacationing colleague, but the favor can be paid back. Cancer (June 21 – July 22) She taught them to walk in a line, to come when they were called, and to keep a safe distance from bikes and scooters and other things with wheels. It’s a good time to practice the basics. Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) But the people on the boat threw peanuts into the water, so the Mallards followed them all round the pond and got another breakfast, better than the first. A good breakfast is important.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD by Chuck shepherd
Happiness is a clean toilet
Beginning in 2011, about three dozen people in Tokyo have been meeting every Sunday morning at 6 a.m. on a mission to scrub down, one by one, the city’s grungiest public rest rooms. “By 7:30,” according to an Associated Press reporter who witnessed an outing in August, the team had left behind a “gleaming public toilet, looking as good as the day it was installed.” Explained the hygiene- intense Satoshi Oda (during the week, a computer programmer), the mission is “for our own good” — work that leader Masayuki Magome compares to the training that Buddhist monks receive to find peace. (In fact, to fulfill the group’s motto, “Clean thyself by cleaning cubicles,” the scouring must be done with bare hands.) A squad supporter spoke of a sad, growing apprehension that the younger generation no longer shares the Japanese cultural conviction that rest rooms should always be clean and safe.
Medical marvels
Colleagues were stunned in May when ABC News editor Don Ennis suddenly appeared at work wearing a little black dress and a red wig and declaring that he had begun hormone therapy and wanted to be called Dawn Ennis. As co-workers accommodated his wishes (which did not seem so unusual in contemporary professional society), Ennis began to have second thoughts, and by July had blamed his conversion on “transient global amnesia,” brought on by marital difficulties, and had returned to work as Don. Apparently the primary lingering effect is that he must still deal with Dawn’s hormone-induced breasts.
The entrepreneurial spirit
• Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed a mirror that makes a person appear happy even when not. A built-in camera tracks facial features in real time, then tweaks the image to turn up the corners of the mouth and to create the beginnings of a smile in the eyes. Of what practical use would such a mirror be? Other Japanese researchers, according to a Slate.com report in August, believe that happy-face mirrors in retail stores would improve shoppers’ dispositions and lead to more sales. • A home ownership boom in China has led to heavily attended housing fairs, in which builders compete zealously to sell their homes, leading to offbeat schemes to draw attention. Among the latest, according to China Daily, is one that dresses female models in bare-backed evening wear, with sample floor plans and other housing information painted onto their skin, and sends them wandering through the crowds.
