Most folks reading this column probably don’t know who Jim Webb is. He is a former U.S. Secretary of the Navy, former U.S. senator from Virginia and one of the Democratic presidential candidates. People don’t know his name largely because, unlike the Republicans, who have already had two nationally televised debates with over 20 million viewers each, the Democrats, to date, have had none. Why? Because limiting the number of debates is standard operating procedure for well-known candidates and their (wink, wink) cooperating parties to ensure that lesserknown candidates never get enough traction (i.e. name recognition, support, funding) to upset the apple cart. It seems to me that that is what is happening on the Democratic side during this election cycle. The last time there was an open seat for the presidency was the 2007-08 primary season. The Democrats had 26 debates, the Republicans 21. This season, both parties have decided to reduce the number of debates. The Republicans cut their number by 48 percent, down to 11, while the Democrats have cut debates by 77 percent, down to only six. It seems clear that, on the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton was intended to be the one anointed by the party insiders. Unfortunately, things aren’t going so well for her. As her email problems, among others, continue to give her bad press, her favorability numbers keep dropping and the cries from the other Democratic candidates for more debates, especially from the Bernie Sanders folks, get louder and louder. This is part of the beauty of the first-inthe-nation primary. New Hampshire voters care about this process and don’t behave well when it’s clear that shenanigans by the political parties are being played upon them. Nationally televised debates matter. Preand post-debate CNN polls show that former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina rocketed from near the bottom of a 16-person field at only 3 percent to 15 percent; she is currently in second place on the Republican side. I’m a Republican. I don’t vote in the Democratic primary; therefore, I don’t have a dog in this hunt. But if I were an undecided Democrat supporting a lesser-known candidate, I’d want more debates.

NEWS & NOTES
Manchester primary
Mayor Ted Gatsas will face off against Alderman Joyce Craig in the November election. Gatsas received the most votes in the primary with 5,188 and Craig was a close second with 4,557. Craig’s Democratic rival, former Alderman Patrick Arnold, came in third with 1,861. While Craig is likely to receive a majority of Arnold’s votes in the general election, the city clerk told the Union Leader this could be a repeat of the 2009 election, in which Gatsas doubles his vote to more than 10,000 in the general election because Republicans turn out more for that than they do for primaries. But turnout for this primary was already fairly high. NHPR reported it was above 20 percent, which is twice as much as the 2013 election. A debate between Gatsas and Craig is scheduled for Oct. 14, and 12 more town hall debates will be held in each of the city’s wards, according to the Union Leader.
Marijuana clinic
A medical marijuana clinic — not to be confused with a dispensary — is due to open in Manchester in November. The Union Leader reported Delawarebased Canna Care Docs operates clinics in Maine, Massachusetts and Connecticut where patients can walk away with a prescription for pot after an evaluation. New Hampshire rules require marijuana recommendations come from doctors with whom patients have an existing relationship. To get around this, the clinic plans to create a three-month buffer period before recommendations are given. The health department reviews all provider recommendations before issuing medical marijuana registration cards to patients.
Budget passed
After about two and a half months of state government running without a new twoyear budget because of a stalemate between Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan and the Republican-led legislature, New Hampshire has a budget. The Union Leader reported the
compromise budget included a 2-percent increase in pay for state workers and the first business tax cuts in 20 years. The first phase of tax cuts will happen next year and future cuts will be contingent upon a revenue threshold meant to offset the loss. Substance abuse treatment, prevention and recovery providers received one of the biggest increases in funding in the $11.35 billion budget. The compromise bill passed the Senate unanimously but faced opposition in the House from former House Speaker Bill O’Brien and his Republican Majority Caucus.
Shea-Porter files
During the New Hampshire Democratic convention, Carol Shea-Porter made the official announcement that she’s running to reclaim her former seat in Congress, again. It comes as no surprise. The Concord Monitor reported Shea-Porter had been hinting at a run for months and filed her candidacy paperwork in August. Shea-Porter and Guinta have traded the 1st Congressional District seat since Guinta first ousted her in 2010, but his recent campaign finance scandal may put an end to that. Republican Dan Innis has hinted at plans to run against Guinta again in the primary and recent polls showed Guinta’s support had all but evaporated.
asking for the line to be buried in the city. A petition with 170 signatures was submitted to city councilors who are studying the impact of the project. Residents told councilors they are concerned about their property values decreasing.
The filing period for the mayoral primary in Concord has closed, and the sitting mayor has a challenger. The Concord Monitor reported Mayor Jim Bouley will face longtime resident and author Paul Brogan.
CONCORD
Rudman Center
Defense contractor and former congressional candidate Rich Ashooh will helm the Warren B. Rudman Center at the UNH School of Law on an interim basis. The Concord Monitor reported Ashooh takes over six months after John Broderick’s tumultuous departure. Ashooh has been an executive at BAE Systems for more than 20 years and worked with the center’s namesake, Sen. Warren Rudman, for six years. He’s expected to work as the center’s director until February or March and his salary will be $150,000. Broderick had stated the university proper in Durham had not been doing enough to support the law school when he announced his resignation in March. In response, he was banned from the premises.

NH making drug epidemic a campaign issue Presidential candidates forced to address opioid addiction
NH leaning toward Sanders
According to the latest CNN/ORC poll, Hillary Clinton is still leading the Democratic pack nationally with 42 percent to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ 24 percent and Vice President Joe Biden’s 22 percent. (Biden still has not officially announced his bid.) That’s an improvement for Clinton, who was at 37 percent in the early part of September. However, polls in the early primary and caucus states of Iowa and New Hampshire show a different picture. Sanders is now ahead of Clinton in both states. NHPR reported he’s leading Clinton by 22 points in the Granite State and by 10 points in Iowa. During the recent Democratic Party state convention at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, five Democratic candidates for president gave campaign speeches. During a speech, DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz was drowned out by hecklers who called out for more debates, the Union Leader reported.
Carly in second
A new poll taken three days following a Republican debate on CNN shows that billionaire Donald Trump has fallen to 24 points from 32 earlier in the month, but he’s still in first place. Meanwhile, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina has rocketed up to second place with 15 percent largely due to her strong performance in the debate, CNN reported. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson had briefly enjoyed the No. 2 spot but he was bumped to a close third place with 14 percent. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio is in fourth place with 11 percent and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is in fifth with 9 percent. Meanwhile, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has decided to suspend his campaign after a poor showing in the polls following the latest Republican debate, the Washington Post reported. This week, the state will be visited by several Republican candidates, including South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
Free ponies for all
Performance artist and Rockport, Mass., resident Vermin Supreme officially announced his bid for president on his Facebook page, The Gloucester Times reported. The man, often seen wearing a boot on his head and several multicolored neckties, ran as a Republican in 2008 and as a Democrat in 2012. As in past elections, Supreme’s platform is free ponies for every citizen and mandatory toothbrushing.

Despite their initial surprise, presidential candidates are starting to address the drug epidemic in New Hampshire as they continue to field addiction-related questions from voters.
A NH issue
Back in April when Hillary Clinton made her first visit to the state this election cycle, she was asked how she would deal with the state’s substance abuse issues. The Concord Monitor reported a woman from Keene told Clinton she’s taking care of her 5-year-old grandson because his mother is addicted to drugs. Clinton has said this experience stuck with her. She later said she didn’t expect the issue to come up, or for it to keep coming up like it has. “It is a local issue. It is particularly acute in New Hampshire, and it’s becoming part of the conversation in the 2016 election cycle,” said Wayne Lesperance, a professor of political science at New England College.
The problem
The opioid crisis has spread to all corners of the state, resulting in more deaths than ever before; in 2014, there were 326 drugrelated deaths in New Hampshire. In 2013, there were 193 drug-related deaths and 164 in 2012. Addiction often starts with prescribed painkillers and later switches to heroin, which is a cheaper and more potent alternative. Officials in law enforcement and the medical community say opioids such as heroin, fentanyl or oxycodone are among the most addictive drugs in the world. And Granite Staters are now well-versed in the problem. According to a recent UNH Survey Center poll, 46 percent of adult residents reported they knew someone who has abused heroin in
the past five years, and drug abuse was shown to have risen from an issue of relatively zero concern a couple years ago to the secondhighest issue, after jobs and the economy. Tym Rourke, the chair of the governor’s commission on substance abuse, says the silver lining is the greater attention candidates are now paying to this. “It’s ... unfortunate that it’s taken the dramatic death toll that we’ve seen from opiate overdoses to really trigger a broader conversation on the political landscape,” he said.
takes. Everyone in this audience has made a mistake.” Some candidates have personal stories of their own to share. Republican candidate Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO, broke her five-year silence about her stepdaughter’s overdose death. And former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush opened up about his daughter Noelle’s struggle with drugs over the years, saying it was a heartbreaking thing for a dad to see. On the other end of the spectrum, Sen. Rand Paul, during a talk in Manchester, asserted that if people have a job they won’t Responses “You’ve heard some candidates talk about have time to do drugs.

decade, train prescribers and make anti-overdose drugs more available. It’s unclear whether a Republican candidate would boost federal funding by that much, but Rourke says the most potentially divisive element of Clinton’s proposal would be to prop up an element of the Affordable Care Act known as “parity,” which requires
insurance providers treat mental illness and substance abuse the same as they would diabetes. Rourke says insurance companies have been finding ways around that new requirement; Clinton proposes to enforce that law. Few others have unveiled detailed proposals, but Lesperance expects that to change in the coming months.

Bedford makeover
Progress continues for new shopping mecca By Ryan Lessard
news@hippopress.com
As work on a Whole Foods nears completion, the changes to South River Road in Bedford continue with plans to turn the neighboring Macy’s site into a plaza that could include a cinema. As soon as spring 2017, the two plots could be a gathering place for shoppers to grab a bite to eat, shop for clothes and groceries and maybe hit the gym, all within about a half mile’s distance. The new shopping areas will be on the spot that once housed the Wayfarer Inn and the land where Macy’s currently stands. Macy’s is expected to close by the end of October, according to the Union Leader, and will be torn down next year. Work on the Wayfarer spot’s new Goffe Mill Plaza is already underway. These two new developments join a remake of the nearby Bedford Mall, which was completed in 2012. “The idea is to have kind of a walking area where there’s events going on from time to time as well as mixed uses,” said Bob Rohrer of Colliers International, which brokered the sale of the Macy’s land.
Goffe Mill Plaza
Contractors are nearly done building a new Whole Foods Market and adjoining retail space for what will become the Goffe Mill Plaza. Whole Foods spokesperson Heather McCready says the company expects the Bedford store to open by late spring 2016. Jeff Kevan is the senior project manager at TFMoran, a local civil engineering firm contracted to work on the Goffe Mill Plaza. Kevan says they began construction in March and started design work nine months prior to that. The main anchor is the 40,000-squarefoot Whole Foods grocery store, but there will be more to it than that. “There’s an additional 8,000 square feet of retail that I don’t believe that they have specific tenants for yet. Provident Bank is being built out front. Then, on the north side of Bowman Brook — the Bedford Mall side — there are two restaurant properties that are approved and an apartment building,” Kevan said. So far, the Whole Foods shell has been all but completed, with interior work beginning soon. The apartment building and restaurant buildings have not begun construction yet. The Bedford Mall was already redeveloped
from an interior mall to a plaza with Fresh Market and Kohl’s as anchors and a nearby Starbucks, Outback Steakhouse and Chipotle. Hannaford expects to finish moving into the old Stop & Shop location across the street by spring or summer 2016. It will replace the current store up the street on Colby Court.

Goodbye Macy’s, hello iPic?
Early plans for the Macy’s spot include a high-end cinema, restaurants, fitness centers and more. Rohrer said this kind of development is called a “lifestyle center” and is more common in other parts of the country. “It will be slightly upscale … more in line with the Whole Foods store going in,” he said. Next year, work will begin at the current site of Macy’s and Carrabba’s Italian Grill. Encore Retail bought the land for $12 million in August. Mike Nelson, the vice president of Encore Retail, says the Macy’s building will be demolished to make room for a mixed-use marketplace not unlike what’s planned on the abutting land around Whole Foods. “In fact, we’re going to be cohesive with their development and we’ve been great teammates with them. We’re kind of blending it all together,” Nelson said. On the Macy’s land, Nelson expects retail tenants for fashion and cosmetics, athletic facilities, high-end restaurants and a cinema. Encore is currently in talks with about 25 companies including hiking outfitter REI and cinema lounge iPic and Cinemex. Designs place the theater space above a restaurant and bar. Nelson says Bloomin’ Brands, the company that owns Carrabba’s and Outback Steakhouse, is considering putting in a Bonefish restaurant. There will be a parking garage, an office building and possibly a hotel.
Atmosphere
The plan for Goffe Mill would create green space along the brook that bisects the land. There will be benches and a half-mile-long path that loops around the brook, according to Kevan. Nelson said Encore hopes to pick up that walkway where it leaves off. “...Whether it’s with bricks or color or pavement, we’re going to blend that in to continue into our property,” Nelson said. He plans to create a lot of green space, walkways and waterways. “It is meant to be someplace where you can spend some time if you wanted to,” he said.

You’ve got a team of cosplayers together to walk in this year’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Can you tell me about that? I thought I would take it on and try to get a group together that we felt comfortable with … walking in costumes and taking what we normally do with cosplaying and giving [the walk] that kind of spectacle. Because, you know, people dressed up in weird outfits draws attention, and we figured if we utilized that to draw attention to the cause, we can bring more to it. … Just last year was our first time and we all dressed up. There were five of us there. I was dressed up as Robin and that drew quite a lot of attention. … As of right now, we have about 10 people officially on the page having signed up, with more people still working out their schedules. But by the time the walk takes place, we’re probably going to have somewhere in the ballpark of 15 people joining us.

How did you first get into cosplay? I first got into it back in junior year [of high school]. I’ve always been a theatrical person, so dressing up in characters wasn’t exactly a far stretch.
What are your favorite characters Courtesy photo. you dress up as? So far, since 2013, I’ve primarily dressed up as Robin, which has been a lot of fun with being around the kids and interacting with them, especially when I have a Batman cosplayer with me. But lately, this year it’s been Captain America, and that’s what I’ll be cosplaying as for the walk. That’s been fun as well. The two of those characters have been my favorites.
Do you make your own costumes? The Robin outfit I made. Unfortunately, the Captain America one I’m not skilled enough to do, so I ended up commissioning that one. … It was custom made [by] one of those online sites that takes your measurements.
Are there any other causes that you’d like Cosplayers for a Cause to participate in? It only started last year, so I’ve been kind of building up the momentum and building up the group through the Alzheimer’s cause. Through that, I’ll start branching out. — Ryan Lessard Looking for a Brand New Home? Tired of seeing old worn-out Homes?

NEWS & NOTES
QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX More Granite Staters covered For the first time, the percentage of New Hampshire residents without health insurance dropped below 10 percent. New Hampshire Business Review reported that the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey showed the number dropped last year from 10.7 percent to 9.2 percent. In 2010, the number was 11.1 percent. Increased coverage was seen overall, but those without jobs saw a significant increase, which can be attributed to the Affordable Care Act and the expansion of Medicaid. QOL Score: +1 Comment: Residents getting public coverage nearly doubled from 10.9 percent in 2010 to 19.3 percent, while unemployed residents without coverage shrunk from 46 percent to 33.5 percent over the same period.

West Nile Virus Just days after it was reported New Hampshire had been spared any human, animal or mosquito cases of eastern equine encephalitis and West Nile virus this season, a batch of mosquitoes has tested positive for West Nile, according to the state’s public health lab. NHPR reported the lab has tested more than 3,000 mosquito batches, 46 people and two animals for mosquito-borne diseases over the course of the year. There are still no confirmed cases of EEE in the state. West Nile was previously found in mosquito batches in Vermont and Massachusetts. QOL Score: -1 Comment: Health officials warn the risk of infection will continue until there are a couple hard frosts.
The American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators says New Hampshire has the highest donor designation rate in the Northeast at 53.8 percent, according to NHPR. The state received an award, accepted by Gov. Maggie Hassan, from the New England Organ Bank last Thursday. QOL Score: +1 Comment: Last year, 731 lives were saved in New England because of organ donors. Thousands more were helped through the gift of tissue donation, according to the article.

Flu season underway The Department of Health and Human Services says three adults have tested positive for influenza — one each in Carroll, Grafton and Hillsborough counties. According to NHPR, it’s the fourth year in a row the state has found flu cases before the season’s traditional October start date. The best way to prevent influenza: vaccination. Vaccine makers have incorporated several changes to this year’s flu shots and sprays because of last year’s concerns that the formulations didn’t work well enough against some of the most prevalent flu strains, according to the article. QOL Score: -1 Comment: The state saw 49 flu-related deaths in adults during the last flu season, the highest number since it began tracking flu deaths in 1999.

What inquiring minds want to know Two weeks into the NFL season and one week away from the end of the local baseball season, it seems like a good time to go the mailbag to see what inquiring minds want to know about. Dear Dave: What are your final thoughts on Deflate-Gate? Rod Gerr, Goo Dell Street, West Hedupyourbutt, Texas Dear Jimmy: First of all, I don’t hear the fat lady singing so it’s not over. But to this point, it’s a story with a beginning, a middle and an end, which most in the media, as usual, got wrong all through the story. In the end, the court fight wasn’t really about the Pats, Brady and PSI, as it was a blood war over the right to punish and abuse of power between the commissioner’s office and the NFL Players Association with Brady just caught in the middle. The middle was an alleged, ahem, “unbiased” investigation to get to the bottom of those missing PSIs by the commissioner’s office that was so bungled it didn’t prove a thing (either way) and set up said fight with the NFLPA , especially after the bogus punishment came down. And if you believe the ESPN the Mag story it was really done as a payback the commish wanted to deliver for Spygate. The beginning was the start of the effort to put Coach B in his place by the leakers in the commissioner’s office wildly exaggerating PSI levels in the footballs and the national response to Bill Belichick, who they are convinced is a football version of the evil villain in a James Bond film. Dear Dave: How would you rate ESPN’s coverage during Deflate-Gate? Edward Arre, 14 Morrow Ave., Heavensgate, United Kingdom Dear Ed: Since ESPN will make MILLIONS off the NFL, how can anyone not question their objectivity at the top? That
The SiTe of
makes them as impartial as the Wells investigation. I don’t necessarily doubt there’s truth to their stories, but the coverage has been sensationalized and the big stories — Mort’s tweet, the recent Spy-Gate story — magically appear at a time best for the NFL’s case, most likely after they dropped a dime on, in this case, the Pats. So I would say ESPN is to the NFL as Pravda was to the USSR. Dear Dave: Now that David Ortiz has 500-plus homers — that’s historically been an automatic number to get in the Hall of Fame — do you think as a full-time DH he should get in and do you think he will? Ed Garr, 312 Martinez Way, Seattle, WA Dear Ed: I think the Hall of Fame is about greatness and I evaluate that two ways. First, how they stand up to the others who’ve played their position — think Ozzie Smith at shortstop — and by the impact they had on the game he played in, especially in the biggest moments, which means in tight pennant races and the playoffs. Some will say you can’t say that because he’s “just” been a DH and thus a part-time player. I say, what about closers who pitch one inning in 70 games a year and there are several of them in the Hall? It’s the position he was asked to play, which has been around for over 40 years, and arguably he’s done it better than anyone ever has. Second, if fielding is so vital to get in, name me one play you’ve ever heard anyone mention about Ted Williams playing in left field, aside from flipping the bird to patrons out there in the stands. Ditto Harmon Killebrew, Ralph Kiner or Reggie Jackson. If it doesn’t matter for them, why should not playing D matter for him? As for the second part, name anyone this century with a bigger resume for clutch play. Some guys have had one great clutch playoff season — Madison Bumgarner last year, Chris Carpenter in 2006 and Randy Johnson in 2001 — but only Curt Schilling has a body of work that stands up
to Papi. So in my mind he’s a no-brainer. Whether he’ll get in — Willie Mays and Hank Aaron weren’t unanimous picks, which shows there are nitwits out there with bizarre biases, so it may take a while until those folks die off. Dear Dave: Did you see that list last week in the Boston Globe where David Ortiz was just ninth on the all-time Red Sox list in the advanced stat WAR? What do you think of that and where do you think he ranks among all-time Red Sox players? William James, 987 Ops Drive, Indabunker, Kansas Dear William: All due respect to a very fine player — if seeing Bobby Doerr ahead of Oritz on that list doesn’t show what a suspect concoction WAR is, I don’t know what does. Ted Williams, Yaz and Dewey Evans never won anything. So far, Ortiz has been the center of three championship teams, where he has been a terror in the clutch. Based on what I think is most important, I can make a case for David Ortiz as the greatest Red Sox player ever since at least 1920. Yes he’s a DH, but would you trade him for Wade Boggs, or Dwight Evans even? How about Doerr? I’m not even sure I’d do it for Yaz, who was a great fielder in left and not bad at first either, and had the greatest full clutch season I’ve ever seen. And with all due respect to Williams and the batting accomplishments, in the numbers that count most for me, Ortiz has more 30-plus (10-7) and 40-plus (3-1) homer seasons and by now probably has tied him in 100-RBI seasons. Plus the Kid can’t match his record for getting it done when it mattered most. Though Williams did miss all that time to the military, three seasons of which were in his absolute prime, so it’s not apples to apples. But at worst, he’s in the top three, I think.

1990 – Central Downs Memorial In Their Annual Football Battle.
The first Gulf War loomed after Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, New Hampshire Justice David Souter was knee deep in senate hearings to confirm his Supreme Court nomination, the Florida lottery had just reached the nation’s second largest jackpot in history at $100 million, the Sox were a few weeks from winning their 3rd AL East title in five years and Plymouth State’s football juggernaut had just crushed Fitchburg State 69-0. It was September of 1990 and on tap was the annual intra-city battle between Central and Memorial. Central QB Chris LeClerc kicked off the scoring just 22 seconds into the game by taking a bootleg 81 yards for a score. But, that was their lone first half highlight, as Memorial controlled the ball during the next 29:38 by running off 39 offensive plays and collecting 12 first downs to one by The Green while scoring 14 unanswered points. Tony Trisicani got the first TD on a 9 yard run, then a Chris Moore to Mike Robbins TD hook-up on 4th down with just 44 seconds left made it 14-7. The second half was a different story. Central came out energized as John Shivavone and Billy Allen gained 47 yards on the half’s first three runs before losing a fumble, but it was a sign of things to come. When they got it back Shiavone ran untouched for a 35 yard score to tie it at 14. Two plays later Shiavone and LeClerc hooked up on an 18 yard pass, then LeClerc ran for 14 more on another bootleg. Four more Shivaone carries brought it to the five, where Allen carried it in for the winning score in a ruggedly fought 20-14 Central win in what was another great event for Manchester.

The-Hate-Us-Because-They-Ain’t-Us Club: Chant from many around here to answer back to legions from nationwide over past true or untrue claims of cheating by their New England Patriots. The justified one is Spy-Gate, the unjustified includes The Tuck Rule and The “Illegal” but Legal Formation that caught John Harbaugh’s team with their pants down in a momentum-changing series of big plays in last year’s playoffs. Of course, since a great majority of those whiners, like WEEI’s Patriots suck-up Jerry Thornton, acted exactly the same about the likes of George Steinbrenner, Billy Martin and others when the Yanks dominated the Sox for 86 years, can you say hypocrite? The Tuck Rule: Among the worst rules ever invented, it essentially allows a quarterback to fumble and not get called for it. Turned groans in New England into smiles and vice versa in Oakland and saved the Pats in the 2001 playoffs on a play that looked an awful lot like a fumble to me. The Illegal Legal formation: A play that split third-down back Shane Vereen wide while essentially lined up as an ineligiblyhippol receiving tackle to confuse Baltimore, which it did as they covered Vereen, who couldn’t cross the line or catch a pass. Coach B haters around the country called it another example of his cheating — which people generally do when they keep getting legally outsmarted by someone more clever than they are.

There are traditional dates — going out to dinner, strolling along the beach in the summer, staying in and cozying up on the couch to watch a movie in the winter — and then there are adventure dates. For those of you looking for the latter, the Hippo has seven getyour-adrenaline-pumping ideas, from flying a plane to shooting your partner (with a paintball gun, of course). Some of these date ideas are best for established couples who are looking to get out of a rut and try something new, while others are perfect first dates for those who dread sitting down for dinner with someone they barely know, trying to make small talk while worrying that there’s food in their teeth.
Take your date on a soaring adventure By Allie Ginwala

Nothing says “romantic” quite like enjoying scenic views of nature, but if you want to bump that view to the next level, add a little bit of adventure with a ride in a hot air balloon. “[Balloons] have mysticism about them and it's such a special thing to do to float through the sky unpowered,” Tony Sica, owner and pilot of High 5 Ballooning, said in a phone interview. “It’s such a unique form of aviation.” Typically, hot air balloons take off from a field or another open space and begin with a meet and greet, safety briefing and time to SOAR THROUGH THE SKY High 5 Ballooning Based in Derry.

the balloon because you have the railing all the way around you,” Boucher agreed. In his years as a pilot, Boucher has had a lot of couples take a ride in the balloon to celebrate special occasions like an engagement, anniversary or even a wedding. “There’s no noise, and we have a soundtrack playing in the background so it's just a great thing to do,” said Sica, who noted he’s had 197 proposals and five marriages aboard the balloon thus far. Boucher recommends crossing a hot air balloon ride off the list of first date ideas because of the cost, saving it instead for a special date down the road, like opting for a balloon ride instead of an anniversary dinner. Or you can combine the two with a post-ride picnic. Feeling like something was missing from his flights, Sica decided to add a lunch on to the end of each balloon ride. “Because I’m Italian, and I have to feed people,” he said. After every flight, guests are invited to a picnic lunch with Champagne to wind down after the high-flying adventure.

Alpine Adventures Outdoor Recreation started the ziplining trend in 2006, and New Hampshire mountains haven’t been the same since. Other New Hampshire mountain resort owners picked up on the trend — Gunstock, Sunapee, Wildcat, Attitash, Cranmore, etc. — and once the snow’s gone, these places become summer and autumn adventure havens. They often also boast canopy tours, ropes courses and mountain biking courses, but ziplining is generally the main attraction. Ziplining tours vary in price and experience and are open at different times depending on the resort, but the fall months offer some of the best (and perhaps most romantic?) scenery, said Ross Malaguti, marketing manager at Mount Sunapee Resort. “We’re starting to see leaves turn right now,” Malaguti said via phone last week. “While you’re zipping from the South Peak, each platform is within the trees — and as we cross some of our ski trails, the foliage gives way to this wide, open view of Mount Sunapee. It makes for some gorgeous views in the fall.” The Sunapee ziplining park is open until Columbus Day. Some parks are open longer — Alpine Adventure Outdoor Recreation in Lincoln and Bretton Woods Canopy Tour, for example, are open year-round. (But always make reservations; Malaguti said the foliage season is the busiest time for ziplining.) Every tour is different. One of Alpine Adventure’s courses, the Super Skyrider, has an experience-required ziplining trail with nine ziplines, nine suspension bridges and a 30-foot ladder climb. Monkey Trunks, located just beside Funspot, is at Weirs Beach and is more of a hybrid between a zipline tour and aerial trekking course, according to the website, with rope course challenges within the trees. Malaguti said Sunapee presents a similar design. There are some prerequisites — zipliners generally need to be 10 or older and between
70 and 220 or 250 pounds, depending on the course — and while most gear and protective guards will be provided (helmet, harness, etc.), it’s best to check with the individual course to determine what to wear. At Sunapee, for instance, Malaguti recommends wearing shorts or pants and a T-shirt. Participants generally find it’s less scary than they thought, once they jump off that first platform, Malaguti said. “When they first start off that first platform, there’s that fear of unknown, and what we find, is that once they take that first step off the platform and take that first zip, every concern kind of vanishes when they realize how much fun it is,” Malaguti said. At the Sunapee course, you’re accompanied by a guide. The tour lasts about 2 hours and is generally done with a group of eight people. Sunapee’s last of its eight zips is a dual, 1,000-foot zipline, so you can race the person alongside you to the bottom — the perfect way to end a date.

Fast-paced, heart-pounding bike trails By Ryan Lessard
news@hippopress.com
If tandem bicycle rides on wide, paved roads or rail trails aren’t your thing, hop on mountain bikes with your special someone for a faster-paced ride through winding, narrow wooded trails. Singletrack mountain biking is when the trail is so narrow it is approximately as wide as a single bike. Southern New Hampshire offers several mountain bike trails of varying difficulty, but be warned — they’re not for couch potatoes. Patrick Lessard at the Bike Barn in Manchester has a few recommendations. There are the singletracks in Bow Town Forest that offer some double track sections, a few bridges, quick climbs and zig-zaggy descents. As with many wooded trails, obstacles in the form of rocks, tree roots and mud abound. The website singletracks.com says it’s 6 miles long and ideal for an amateur above a beginner. Lessard also says bikers can choose between the 7 miles of trail at Musquash Conservation Area in Londonderry, the Horse Hill Nature Preserve in Merrimack
and the Friends of Massabesic Bicycling Association network of trails in Auburn. “It’s definitely not easy riding. It’s challenging, very demanding and demands focus. You’d never call it just a cruise in the woods,” said Jack Chapman, FOMBA president and founder. Chapman began creating the trails in the late 1990s in a piece of land Manchester Water Works agreed to let them use in the
hopes of diverting bikers away from coastal trails used by people who go there to fish. “We have a chunk of real estate over in the vicinity of Depot Road ... bisected by the Rockingham recreational trail, which is the old rail bed used for recreational purposes,” Chapman said. Chapman estimates the tightly packed network of 11 trails consist of about 12 miles combined. The trails are named things like
Hemlock Loop and Moosetrack, but Chapman doesn’t give them difficulty grades. “The reason we don’t do that is because all the FOMBA trails are fairly technical in nature. I don’t think any of them can ever be considered easy,” Chapman said. “Basically, if you go on them, it’s at your own risk.” He says the difficulty level at FOMBA is similar to that of the trails at Fort Rock in Exeter, though Fort Rock has more elevation changes. Bear Brook has some elevation changes as well, but it’s not as narrow as FOMBA. “Bear Brook does have some technical spots, but it’s much more wide open, so maybe a little less turny and twisty,” Chapman said. As for athletic couples, Chapman said riding bikes on singletrack trails can make for a good date “as long as they don’t plan on doing much after the date.” But you don’t need to be an expert to ride them. First-timers should take their time and get to know the terrain. The constant turns, climbs and descents can be both physically and mentally taxing. “Unless they’re in really, really fine shape, it’s going to kick your butt,” Chapman said.
Treat your date to a round of laser tag By Allie Ginwala
aginwala@hippopress.com
Break the ice on a first date or keep things exciting on a 50th date with a game of laser tag. “I think it’s perfect because you don't have the awkward conversation … there’s something to do,” Space Entertainment Center event coordinator Candace Maynard-Barker said in a phone interview. “It’s always fun.” The multi-level laser tag arena at the center starts a new game every 45 minutes with anywhere from two to 36 people playWHERE PLAY LASER TAG Space Entertainment Center 51 Zapora Drive, Hooksett, 621-5150, spacecenter.com Mel’s Funway Park 454 Charles Bancroft Hwy, Litchfield, 424-2292, melsfunwaypark.com/ Indoor-Entertainment/laser-tag Hilltop Fun Center 165 Route 108, Somersworth, 742-8068, hilltopfuncenter.com HIPPO | SEPTEMBER 24 - 30, 2015 | PAGE 14
ing at one time. Depending on how many players are in at once — if it’s less than five, it’s typically an every-man-for-himself style game— there are different modes for team play. “We have three different rounds [of] eight minutes, and there’s always a referee to make sure everybody is safe,” MaynardBarker said. About a year and a half ago, Space Entertainment Center made a shift toward focusing on the adult demographic as a new market, making it one of several local entertainment-type places that could be a fun date option. They nixed the playground and a couple of kiddie rides in favor of pool tables, ping pong tables, bumper cars, arcade games and a pedestal joust (think rock’em sock’em robots, but with humans). “During the week even when it's quiet we have couples coming in and groups of younger people instead of the movies or before or after the movies and they're surprised we have grown-up beverages to offer too,” she said. While laser tag is a good outing for any date, Maynard-Barker said, it’s an especially good option for those on a first date. “It’s like a perfect first date because it

puts everybody on a level playing field and they've gotten all the nervous jitters out and expended some energy,” she said. “It’s something to talk about and gets everybody loosened up.” One benefit of the area's laser tag options is that many of them have other activities built right into the facility. For example, Mel’s Funway Park in Litchfield has both laser tag and a laser maze, in addition to batting cages, two minigolf courses, a
driving range, arcade games and go-karts. Hilltop Fun Center in Somersworth has laser tag, minigolf, arcade games, batting cages, a driving range and multiple go-kart tracks. So whether you go just for the laser tag or stay longer for the arcade games, you’ve got your date covered. “I think that would be great,” MaynardBarker said of a laser tag date. “Wish I had done that when I was young.”

Taking flying lessons in a small aircraft may not be the least expensive way to have fun, but it is possible to make it a date without breaking the bank. David Rolla is a manager at Concord Aviation Services, which offers flight lessons. He says people who actually want to earn their private pilot's license from starting out with zero experience should budget about $8,000 to $10,000 to rack up the flight time and knowledge to pass the FAA exam. But a single lesson is far more affordable if all you're looking for is a fun time. Concord Aviation Services offers a discovery flight, which spends about half an hour on the land and half an hour in the air, for only about $110. “It gives people an overview of what the program's like, what the airplanes are, gets them a little time in the air. We can generally fly around the Concord area in half an hour, maybe go by the race track or fly over their house, depending on where they live,” Rolla said. If you've done that, or have some experience with planes already, and you want to spend a little more time in the air, there are options for that as well. Rolla says the flight instructor costs $50 an hour, and the cost of the plane is $108 an hour. You and your partner can split the hour or two you wish to pay for, and it doesn't cost extra to ride along. “We don't charge for the extra person. The cost of the airplane is the cost of the airplane,” Rolla said. Flying can be an exhilarating date option, but there are some logistics that should be considered. For one thing, only one person
will be able to sit up front with the instructor at a time. Your partner can sit in a small chair in the back to enjoy the experience of riding in a small plane, which is very different from that of traveling by airliner. “A lot of times, people have never been in a small aircraft before,” Rolla said. He did caution that the seat in the back may not be the most comfortable for a 6-foot-tall adult. Also, bringing a date along for flight lessons isn't very common, so you may raise a few eyebrows at the airfield, “But if you wanted to, sure, why not?” Rolla said. After all, the adventurous daters chart their own course.

Ditch the video games for a day and take your date to a life-sized battle with paintball. There are several paintball fields across New Hampshire with various layouts, sizes and gameplay options. Most places have the necessary gear available to rent, so you don’t need to buy anything in advance to play. Just bring your sense of adventure and a date who won’t mind getting splattered in paint. “I think most typical dates are kind of boring because they don’t involve [the couple],” said Tony Fiore, owner of Merrimack Valley Paintball in Candia. “If they go to a movie or a museum, they’re just observers, but if they want to be a participant in something super exciting that they’ll talk about afterwards … paintball is a good option.” At most paintball facilities, you can just show up and play, but some will let you call and reserve the rental gear ahead of time, which is a good idea, especially on the weekends when they get the most players. You’ll usually need to attend a short orientation detailing how to use the equipment, the gameplay and game rules and safety guidelines.

There are two main types of paintball: woodsball and speedball. Woodsball is played over a large area using natural terrain as the battlefield. It usually entails a strategic, Capture the Flag-type game. Speedball is played on a smaller field with artificial bunkers and is primarily used for tournaments. Paintball is not the perfect date for everyone. There are several things to consider before whisking your partner off to the battlefield. “If it’s a first date, and you take them [paintballing] because they seemed outgoing and adventurous, but they really aren’t, you could run into some trouble,” Fiore said. “I’d recommend it for people who have been going together for a while or even as a second or third date, after you get to know the person a little bit.” You should also think about how intimate you want your date to be. If dinner at a fancy restaurant seems too formal for your relationship status, paintball can be a more casual alternative because you are playing on a team with other people. Fiore said it’s also a good double date idea because couples can share an experience together without the pressure of being exclusive. For couples who have been together for a while, paintballing can be a fun way to shake up their routine, do something active and bond by working together as a team. If you and your date really enjoyed paintballing and want to pursue it as a shared hobby, many paintball facilities offer season passes and host special events and tournaments. You can also buy your own paintball equipment (sold at most sporting goods stores) so you don’t have to pay for rentals every time you go. “I would definitely advertise it as a date for the adventurous type,” Fiore said. “If you get bored easily with [inactive] dates and you want to be in the action and challenge yourself, paintball is where it’s at.”

Dangling off the edge of a mountain may be a little much for a first date, but New Hampshire has several indoor rock climbing gyms for adventurous couples to explore. Most gyms have climbing walls with various heights, slopes, hold sizes and hold spacings to accommodate all experience levels, so even if you or your date have never rock climbed before, don’t rule it out — just make sure you’re both up for a challenge. “A lot of romantic partnerships start at the climbing gym,” said Hilary Harris, CEO and founder of Evo Rock + Fitness in Concord. “It is definitely a trend. It’s a great thing to do with a partner because it’s something outside the norm. Instead of sitting at a table having drinks, you’re experiencing something extremely interactive, and that naturally creates bonds.” When you go to the rock gym, make sure you wear comfortable clothes you can be active in, like sweatpants or yoga pants and a T-shirt. Most gyms will have special climbing shoes for you to rent. It may also be helpful to keep your nails short. A fresh manicure with long fake nails does not fare well during climbing, Harris warns. If it’s your or your partner’s first time at the gym you go to, the gym may require you to take a test to ensure that you are competent at rock climbing, or, if you’re a beginner, an orientation class followed by a test. After you pass, you’re free to climb on your own. A date at the rock gym could go a couple of different ways, depending on your and your partner’s skill levels. “If one of you is experienced and one is a beginner — because the routes vary in difficulty — one of you can go up one route and be lowered by your partner and [vice versa],” Harris said. “You could also climb together on the same wall depending on your ability. … And if you’re both beginners, you can share that learning experience together.” If you and your significant other have been together for a while, rock climbing may be a rewarding mutual hobby to explore. Belaying each other can help build trust, and overcoming challenges together can be a powerful bonding experience.

Harris said she believes indoor rock climbing is especially well-suited for a first date. “It’s a great way to get to know someone really quickly because it reveals their personality,” she said. “Some people are stubborn and try really hard; others give up easily. Some are optimistic and HILARY HARRIS positive; some are negative. For a first date, if you want to weed someone out, [rock climbing] will definitely show you their true colors.”

ARTS Chalk the block
Manchester hosts chalk art competition By Kelly Sennott
ksennott@hippopress.com
This weekend’s chalk art competition at Bronstein Park is the first of what co-organizer Newton Kershaw III hopes will be many community events in the Hanover corridor — i.e., the area between Elm, Hanover and Chestnut streets — which he, along with his company, Elm Grove Companies, has been trying to brand as Manchester’s cultural mecca. He brought the idea to Studio 550’s Monica Leap and Intown Manchester Executive Director Sara Beaudry just over a month ago. They began planning immediately. Leap, coincidentally, had been fiddling with the idea of producing a city-wide chalk art competition as well. She’d seen very successful events like this in cities all over, including Chelsea, Michigan, and Syracuse, New York, and agreed with Kershaw that it was a great, inexpensive way to bring the community together through art. “You don’t have to be a sidewalk chalk artist. Kids and parents can sign up together,” Leap said. “In future years, when it Attend Chalk the Block! Where: Bronstein Park, located at the corner of Hanover and Union streets, Manchester When: Saturday, Sept. 26, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission: $15 per chalk space; kids can create in a separate designated area for free; day-of registration will be accepted, but organizers would like artists to sign up early so they can determine how much space is needed Prizes: More than $750 in cash prizes for winners Contact: 232-5597, info@550arts.com, 550arts.com, intownmanchester.com

grows, we can expand it to other parts of the city to become sort of a chalk art walk. We’re starting small this year.” Chalk the Block!, produced by Studio 550, Elm Grove Companies and Intown Manchester, happens this Saturday, Sept. 26, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will be food vendors, live music, entertainment and, most importantly, chalk art brightening the sidewalks that surround the park. Artists young and old, beginner and advanced are invited to purchase a $15 4-foot by 4-foot space to create on. The entry fee includes a basic chalk box, but participants Schedule 10 a.m.: Check-in begins 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.: Music, entertainment, food, artists draw 2:30 p.m.: Drawing stops, artists check out and return unused materials 2:30 to 2:45 p.m.: Judges cast votes 2:45 p.m.: Winners announced

are encouraged to bring their own chalk or pastels, especially if their designs have a predominant color. (“If you’re creating a bunch of minions, it makes sense to bring your own two colors of yellow and blue, just to make sure you have enough,” Leap said.) If they desire, they may also bring their own tools — brushes, sponges, Q-tips, spray bottle with water, etc., though everything must be water-based or temporary. Kids can create in the “kid’s corner” for free. Some tips for artists: “When you’re putting down your color, instead of doing intricate, detail stuff right away, put down a bunch of chalk and rub it into the background. You want what you’re going to do to be high-impact,” Leap said. A big chalkboard eraser can work well for laying down large areas of color. Kershaw would like to see many more community- and culture-focused events like this happening in the vicinity. He and Leap have been playing with the idea of creat-

ing a historical scavenger hunt, which might happen in the springtime. It’s in his own interests to create a more thriving, walkable community in the area — his company is in the process of building The Flats at Hanover Commons, a building of micro-unit apartments targeted at millennials that will connect Bronstein Park (formerly Hanover Commons) to Elm Street. “We’re trying to build a neighborhood around that area and focus on the regentrification of that neighborhood, instead of just focusing on real estate development,” Kershaw said. The idea is to brand the area as Manchester’s cultural district and to create a sense of place there. “There are so many cultural aspects of the Hanover corridor — there’s beautiful architecture, the Palace Theatre, and the New Hampshire Institute of Art,” Kershaw said. “There’s a lovely church, and then the park.”

Two-week party
Festival commemorates 20 years of the Cap Center By Kelly Sennott
ksennott@hippopress.com
In the years after the Capitol Center for the Arts’ 1989 closure, there were no visitors; building leak rivers ran through the basement, and instead of artists, pigeons made their home here. To today’s audiences, it would have been unrecognizable. “It was really on its last legs,” said Owen DeFrancesco, CCA marketing manager. Then, in 1995, the Concord community infused new life in the center, which was originally built in 1927. Two hundred fifty volunteers contributed 3,000 hours to paint and restore the Egyptian-motif artwork. They raised $4.2 million and renamed the 1,300-seat theater The Chubb after the largest benefactor, Chubb Life. Since then, things have only gotten better; in 2003, the CCA saw another restorative upgrade, and today it’s home to not only the Chubb Theatre but also The Spotlight Cafe for more intimate performances, with tables, chairs and drinks, and The Salon, in the attached Victorian house, for even smaller presentations. In the opinion of CCA staff, the transformation the nonprofit has made is remarkable and cause for celebration— they’re throwing a 20th Anniversary Festival, which consists of two weeks of performances that commemorate all the CCA has to offer. The shows range from tech-savvy (like Truck, which transforms a 17-foot box truck into a stage performance Sept. 25) to country (Martina McBride performs Sept. 26) to conversational (Concord Chats, which includes a 40-minute documentary about the Kimball Jenkins house). 20th Anniversary Festival

“When we began talking about the 20th anniversary, I wanted to celebrate all we’re doing. We couldn’t have just one big gala night, because that’s not who we are. The idea was to create a festival umbrella, where we could celebrate … the diversity of our programs,” said Nicolette Clarke, CCA executive director, via phone. The center has seen everyone and everything. Slam poets and National Theatre screenings. Musical concerts and art presentations. Community events. Every year it grows, Clarke said; currently there are 267 regular volunteers and 17 regular employees who work in marketing, programming, finance, production and front-of-house. The center saw 155 shows, 66 of which were “mainstage” productions, last year. On top of that, there were 80 community events. “The goal has always been to provide a space for Concord residents, and for people from Concord and beyond to come together and celebrate live theater and live performance in general,” DeFrancesco said. While the CCA draws in big names like Dave Chappelle and Martina McBride, DeFrancesco argues this isn’t its only role — in his opinion, the CCA was also the start of downtown Concord becoming more lively. He pointed to Red River Theatres and the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen gallery, which opened afterward down the street. “There’s a feeling among various groups we’re starting to get an arts hub downtown,” DeFrancesco said. Clarke agreed. “We really feel we are a major contributor to activity [in Concord]. There’s a ripple effect economically. We know restaurants are filled when we have shows. When we have a dance competition for a weekend, we have people staying in hotels and shopping downtown. We do see ourselves as a strong force in the region,” Clarke said. The plan is to keep growing; Clarke hopes to see the day when the facility will be able to hold multiple performances in multiple CCA venues per night, and to eventually house a full-time restaurant. Online auction There’s also a two-week online silent auction occurring during that period; 52 items are up for grabs at ccanh.com. They include things like guitars autographed by Martina McBride and Alan Doyle; signed posters of past performers (Hal Holbrook, Ailey II dancers, the cast of Fiddler on the Roof); a private meeting with Gov. Maggie Hassan; framed original CCA marquee letters, and tickets for Opera New Hampshire, the New Hampshire Motor Speedway, ski resorts, hotel stays, etc.

What follows is a series of schemes to try to keep Nick home. Tickets are $15. Visit brownpapertickets.com/ event/2087591. • Theater auctions and galas: The Peacock Players produce their annual dinner and auction on Friday, Oct. 2, at 6 p.m., at the Crowne Plaza (2 Somerset Parkway, Nashua).

Visit seacoastrep.org or call 433-4793. • Goodbye, Stage Force: Stage Force will cease operations after nine years of theater, according to a press release this week. It will close its doors Dec. 31 following the final installment of its annual holiday reading program, The Ragpicker’s Dream, produced Dec. 12 and Dec. 13 as part of The Music Hall’s “A Vintage Christmas in Portsmouth.” The company’s November mainstage production and October/November play reading series have been canceled. Several reasons were cited for the decision, including increased competition and the inability to grow audiences. Kent Stephens — veteran regional theater producer, director and playwright — founded Stage Force two years after arriving on the Seacoast with his wife, Patricia, shortly after she was appointed executive director of The Music Hall. Throughout its history, the company produced 10 world premiere scripts and commissioned two new plays from nationally renowned writers Jeffrey Hatcher and Carlyle Brown. “Expect to see Kent active in the community he loves,” said Lyn E. Rosoff, Stage Force board of directors president, in the release. “We’re all excited to see what he’ll come up with next, and we wish him well.” — Kelly Sennott

Day for Kids festival returns to Manchester By Angie Sykeny
asykeny@hippopress.com
The Boys & Girls Club will celebrate its 10th annual Day for Kids on Saturday, Sept. 26, in Manchester with over 100 free activities, exhibits, special displays and live performances. One of New Hampshire’s largest children’s festivals, it attracts between 2,000 and 3,500 visitors each year. “The fact that one of the city’s largest youth organizations is [hosting] the festival, and the fact that there are so many other organizations involved and so many sponsors that support it, makes it unique,” event coordinator Tracey Adams said. “It’s a true community event.” The purpose of Day for Kids is twofold: first, to give parents or other adult family members and friends a day to reconnect with the kids in their lives by participating in fun activities together. Second, it provides information about various children’s services throughout the state. Adams said one of the kids’ favorite parts of the festival is the live animals, such as the Wildlife Encounters exhibit, which has different live native and non-native animals each year, and the McDonny’s Traveling Farm, a petting zoo with baby chicks, bunnies, goats Boys & Girls Club 10th Annual Day for Kids When: Saturday, Sept. 26, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Where: Radisson Hotel, 700 Elm St., Manchester Cost: Admission and all activities are free, except the Roaming Railroad train rides, which cost $1.

Get fit with technology Or at least find out how fit you’re not By John “jaQ”Andrews jandrews@hippopress.com
Smartwatches
There’s the Apple Watch, of course, along with Android Wear watches, other Android-based watches, Pebble watches, and a few other niche smartwatch types. Fitness tracking is one key feature they all share, but they do a lot more. Anything a smartphone can do, they can do, well, not “better,” exactly; what’s the word? Ah, right - “worse.” The screens are small, so displayed information is brief, and you can forget typing. The batteries typically last one whole day. Nevertheless, they do offer conveniences, like quick, glanceable updates about everything from world news to, yes, your workout. They can be expensive, of course, though older Android and Pebble watches are around $100. Newer Android Wear devices go for $200 to $400, and Apple Watch starts at $349.
Smart bands
info and prompts from select phone apps. Others, like Fitbit’s Surge and Charge models, keep the focus mostly on fitness.
Fitness watches
The device I ended up choosing, a refurbished Garmin vívofit for under $45, is a basic band with a basic display. It only syncs with a smartphone to transfer activity data and set its clock, but the liquid crystal display can be toggled between the current time, date, steps taken, step goal, distance walked, and estimated calories burned. If it’s paired with a heart monitor on a chest strap it can show your heart rate too. Most bands in this category are really digital watches with push-button Bluetooth sync capability. Because they’re not constantly linked to a phone, only transmitting on demand, some can leave their displays on all the time - you know, like a watch - and still have long battery life.

Fitness bands
The most basic bands have no display at all and just count steps. Some have a line of LEDs giving you a very general idea of your activity for the day, but some don’t even have that. The Fitbit Flex is probably the best-known of these; at $100, it’s more expensive than some fitness watches, but its simplicity makes it durable and reliable. When you find a device you like, make sure to read reviews of not just the hardware, but the accompanying app for your phone. I very nearly went with a LifeTrak watch with many more functions than my vívofit, but other users were so frustrated with the app that I gave it a pass.
Not full-fledged smartwatches but with more than just fitness functions, smart bands offer a little more than only motion tracking. They usually show incoming calls and text messages. Some, like the Samsung Gear Fit and Microsoft Band, Your mileage may vary from that of @ have color touch screens and can display CitizenjaQ on Twitter.

If you’ve been out of your house in the last year or two, you’ve probably noticed little bands on a lot of people’s wrists. They’re not watches, because who wears watches anymore, and very few of them actually tell time. They’re not jewelry either, or even those one-dollar plastic bracelets that supported cancer research or your coworker’s daughter’s softball team. What you’re probably seeing are fitness bands. These knickknacks use internal accelerometers to keep count of how many steps the wearer takes, synchronizing that information with a smartphone or computer. The data is then automatically translated into pretty charts and handy graphs, helping everyone get in shape. In theory, anyway. They can hardly compel anyone to exercise, and the kind of activity they track isn’t really of heart-pounding intensity. But Americans, especially Techie-Americans, are not known for moving when it’s not immediately necessary. So, yes, we need electronic gadgets to motivate us to combat the slothfulness all our other gadgets have begotten.

It’s that time again. Time to think about getting ready for winter. Some trees are showing signs of changing leaf color. Vegetable gardens are winding down. Summer flowers are finished with their blooms, and even fall flowers are beginning to decline. Sigh. Summer is just about over. Last winter we had record-setting snows in many places. One of the consequences of that was that meadow voles and other rodents had good protection from owls and hawks. Voles feasted on the bark of apple trees, stripping the bark with immunity and fatally damaging many trees. A tree will slowly starve to death if it loses bark all around the trunk, although that may take a year or more. The leaves continue to produce the sugars all summer, but the damage prevents the sugars from getting to the roots, and they starve. When my partner, Cindy Heath, retired after 26 years as director of recreation and parks in Lebanon, a nice crabapple tree was planted in her honor near the community garden. But last winter it was girdled by voles. So I hired a grafting specialist, Jenny Wright of Unity, who met me last spring to do some repairs. She did what is called bridge grafting, grafting four twigs to span the damage. Two of the four grafts “took” and the tree has been saved. Even one successful graft probably would have worked. It’s probably not a job you can take on without help, but there are people who can help you. Of course, the damage could have been prevented, and I would like to recommend that you take steps to protect any young fruit trees from similar damage if we have another snowy winter. Buy some “hardware cloth” and wrap it around the bottom 24 inches of the tree. Hardware cloth is a wire mesh that comes in a variety of sizes. Quarter-inch mesh is best. You should be able to buy a small roll 24 inches wide. You will need tin snips to cut it and some wire to tie the ends together. For a 2-inch-diameter tree, make a 4-inch-diameter cylinder around it. Be sure to remove the wire mesh before the tree grows into it. Older trees are rarely eaten by rodents. Another job for the fall is to clean up all those fallen apples that litter the ground. You may think they are harmless, but if you had any apple scab on your apples it is important to pick them up. If you don’t, come spring the fungal disease that causes scab will release spores and infect next year’s crop. Raking up apples is tedious and often leads to damage to the lawn around a tree. But I have a Nut Wizard. It consists of a footballshaped wire device that turns on its axis when

pushed across the ground by a long handle. The wires separate a little when going over an apple, which then enters the interior of the tool. When I have about 25 apples captured, I empty them into a wheelbarrow by separating the wires enough for the apples to fall out. If you have blackberries or raspberries, this is the time to cut down this year’s canes. Canes only produce for one year, and will only be in the way next year so cut them off near the ground. I use a pole pruner to cut the canes. I have a tool that works very well; it is lightweight and has a squeeze grip (like hand pruners). After snipping off a cane I can grab it with the blades (by squeezing very gently) and pull it out of the patch. The tool I use is made by ARS, model LA 180 L1.8, which I got from OESCO tool company (oescoinc.com or 800-634-5557). It sells for about $100, but is well worth it if you have lots of berries and don’t like getting blood transfusions. If you planted new trees or shrubs this year, it is important that they go into the winter well hydrated. Water them weekly as we go into the cold season if we don’t have a lot of rain. Be sure newly planted trees are mulched with ground bark or wood chips. That will help keep the roots warm as winter approaches. Roots continue to grow even after leaf drop, until the ground gets too cold. Three or four layers of bark chips will allow them to grow longer into the autumn. But don’t let the mulch touch the tree; leave a donut hole around the trunk to avoid rotting of the tree bark. Trees are my friends for lots of reasons, including the gift they bestow on me each fall. I don’t look on raking up leaves as a pain in the you-know-where. I look at leaves as a great source of organic matter and mulch for my gardens. I run them over with the lawn mower, and then rake them up. Once chopped and mixed in with some grass clippings, they don’t blow away. So keep that in mind when raking leaves instead of watching football! Henry is the author of four gardening books. His website is Gardening-Guy.com.

unrealistic for real market values. I think a realistic value for a set of standard pieces like yours would be in the $75 range. So don’t, unless you really want to complete the set for her, go out and pay too much for the extras. If you can’t find them locally, let her have fun with hunting to add to the set.

Dear Constance, What a nice idea, I really enjoy when families share items and memories. Your set was done by Oneida (which originated in the late 1800s). It’s Community Pate, which means silver plated, not sterling silver. The pattern is South Seas (dated 1955) and is a very pretty design. The pattern is now discontinued, so it would be on the secondary market you would find pieces to add to it. I did some research for you and found the values to be all over the board. So I think I’m just going to tell you what I think. Silver plated has a limited market these days due to this generation not wanting to deal with the polishing. So you might be able to find pieces at flea markets, antique shops and consignment stores very inexpensively. If you go online you can also find some that are affordable, but I found it to be very art to wear. Beginners welcome. Please bring a couple of old towels, a small dish or bowl for water, and a bar of soap (Ivory or Glycerin work well).

Car alarm likely culprit of late-night beeping
Dear Car Talk: If you could help us figure this out, we’d appreciate it soooo much. During the summer, we love to sleep with the windows open for fresh air (in the By Ray Magliozzi house, not in the car). But every night, we are disturbed by a very rapid horn at a high pitch going “beep beep beep beep beep beep” at least six times (my husband hears seven beeps) in the space of 1 second. It scares us both awake every time. We live in a dense, otherwise quiet neighborhood with small lots, so there are lots of potential culprits’ vehicles parked around our home. Do you know of a vehicle security system or other weird thing that could be malfunctioning? We’re pretty sure it is an involuntary thing on this car, and not 8929 triggered by the owner’s key fob, because ippoPress no cars drive offManchester and no doors are slammed shutPage: afterward.

which you sleep through. Then he uses his key fob to lock the door, which triggers the “alarm is armed” sound, which wakes you out of your dream about Matthew McConaughey. Fortunately, most factory-installed alarms can be programmed to not sound the horn or the alarm chirp when activated. They often can be programmed to do nothing, or to just flash the parking lights to let the owner know the car is locked and alarmed. So you’re going to have to do some detective work and figure out who the culprit is, so you can ask him to reprogram his alarm! I’d employ some modern technology. You want to get a webcam; they’re cheap these days. People use them to spy on their dogs while they’re at work now, so they can come home and say: “I know you got into the garbage, Huey. I saw you on the webcam.” As if the tipped-over garbage can and the week’s worth of garbage strewn all over the Oriental rug isn’t enough of a clue. Anyway, I think you should set up this webcam on your front porch or in a streetfacing window. Point it in one direction one night, and in the other direction the next night. See what you catch. Most alarm systems do also flash the car’s lights when theyengaged, so you should be able to see it.

Dear Car Talk: I’ve been driving cars for far longer than I’d like to admit, and I’ve never had this happen: I drove a few miles to the market in my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and normally by the time I get there, the temperature gauge has climbed to where it should be. This time, it got only halfway there. It was in the same place by the time I got home. The next day, I drove about 70 miles, and the same thing happened. Only when I sit at idle for a few minutes (maybe four to five) will the needle start to climb a bit. But once I start driving again, down it goes. Now, I’ve had this car overheat a few times (I needed a new thermostat), but never have I had any car stay cold. What’s the deal here? Is it OK to keep driving it? And how expensive do you think it’ll be to get it back to normal? — Catherine You may need another new thermostat, Catherine. Your old thermostat failed because it
failed to open — and therefore to allow coolant to flow through the radiator and cool off. Your current one may be opening too early, or may be stuck open and allowing too much cooling. That’s the most likely explanation for a car that runs cold. It’s OK to keep driving it for now, but the reason thermostats exist is to regulate the engine temperature, because engines tend to run most efficiently at right around 200 degrees F. So don’t be surprised if your mileage drops. Although on a 2004 Grand Cherokee, you might not notice the drop from 12 mpg to 11. Start by having your mechanic verify that your gauge is accurately representing the temperature of the engine. He’ll do that by using his own pyrometer to check the engine temperature. If the engine is actually running at a normal temperature while the gauge says it’s cold, then you may need a new gauge or a new temperature-sending unit. But if the gauge is accurate, and the engine really is running cold, then I’d change the thermostat and see if that fixes it. I’m guessing that’s all it is, and that’s cheap.
Think Fast. Think FedEx Ground.

FOOD All that schnitzel
Get your German food fix this weekend By Allie Ginwala
News from the local food scene
aginwala@hippopress.com
By Allie Ginwala
Grab your lederhosen and head to Hillsborough for a taste of Germany at the 13th annual Schnitzelfest on Saturday, Sept. 26, at Butler Park. For over a decade, people have gathered together for an afternoon filled with schnitzel, bratwurst, knockwurst, German potato salad and sauerkraut. Jim Bailey, the self-titled “fry king,” has been involved with the festival since its inaugural year and spends his time cooking the schnitzel. “It’s about 300 pounds of schnitzel, bratwurst and knockwurst ... and we get that locally now from the Sausage Source in town. He makes the brats and knocks himself,” he said in a phone interview. “And then there’s the German potato salad … Poundage-wise I don’t know about sauerkraut, but [there’s] a lot of sauerkraut.” On the Thursday and Friday night before the festival, Bailey said about 20 people gather in the middle school to prepare the food. While Tooky Mills Restaurant & Pub portions and pounds the schnitzel, the group of volunteers breads and cooks it, along with making the sauerkraut and potato salad. “We work for about four hours each night and get it ready to go,” Bailey said.

• Powdered alcohol banned: The New Hampshire Liquor Commission announced in a press release that the state will join 25 others that have banned powdered alcohol due to concerns about misuse, underage consumption and potential liability for restaurant and lounge owners. “The New Hampshire Liquor Commission is committed to ensuring the safety of all New Hampshire residents and we believe the potentially significant public health concerns of powdered alcohol outweigh any benefit,” NHLC Chairman Joseph W. Mollica said in the press release. Going by the brand name “Palcohol,” the small packets are manufactured by Lipsmark and were approved for sale by the United States Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau in March. Considered a liquor because of its alcohol content, Palcohol would only have been available in New Hampshire Liquor & Wine Outlets or through directship retailers. “The potential to misuse powdered alcohol is extremely high, particularly among youths,” NHLC Division of Enforcement & Licensing Director James Wilson said in the press release. “Powdered alcohol could lead to more instances of alcohol poisoning and impaired driving.” See nh.gov/liquor/enforcement. • New cafe: The Local Moose Cafe (124 Queen City Ave., Manchester, 232-2669, thelocalmoosecafe.com) opened its doors on Sunday, Sept. 13, according to a Facebook post. The new cafe features a selection of sandwiches such as bahn mi, very curry chicken and grilled cheese, salads and soups, pastries and house-made bread, coffee, tea and espresso. See facebook.com/thelocalmoosecafe or thelocalmoosecafe.com. • Oktoberfest season begins: Henniker Brewing Company (129 Centervale Road, Henniker, hennikerbrewing.com) kicks off the season of fall brews with its second annual Oktoberfest on Saturday, Sept. 26, from noon to 4 p.m. Enjoy beer tastings, brewery tours, live music and local vendors like Kittery’s Belle’s on Wheels, Henniker’s White Mountain Kettle Corn, Henniker’s MM Good Ice Cream Truck and more.

Redhook Brewery is the beer sponsor for the event — because it “can’t be an Oktoberfest without beer,” Bailey said — and food can be purchased as a meal for $15, which includes the choice of fried schnitzel, grilled schnitzel, bratwurst or knockwurst, plus two sides and bread. Now serving the hundreds of people that attend each year, Bailey admitted that at first he was a bit skeptical of how an Oktoberfest-type event would fare in the area. “I’m like, who wants to come to Hillsborough for Schnitzelfest?” he said. But as a member of the chamber of commerce, he decided to help out on the grill that first year. “And I never left the grill from the time I started until 3 o’clock when we ran out of food,” he said. “Here I am … years later still frying things up.” In fact, since the first Schnitzelfest Bailey has acquired a collection of eight free fryolators to use for the big day. The festival began as a way to bring
more exposure to downtown Hillsborough, inspired by the Greater Hillsborough Chamber of Commerce and German John’s Bakery. “The chamber ran with it and it definitely achieved what we initially thought of bringing attention to the downtown businesses and brought more people than we realized over the years,” Bailey said. “People come from far and wide. They come from Massachusetts, Rhode Island ... It just amazes me how [many] people come for this.” Schnitzelfest chairman Terry Cutter agreed, noting that Schnitzelfest draws German cuisine-lovers from all over the country. Throughout the day an Oompah band will provide a soundtrack for the autumn festival and local vendors will display their wares, available for guests to peruse. “It makes for a nice little time,” Cutter said in a phone interview. “It encompasses the whole park.”

Youngsters meet for Saturday baking classes By Allie Ginwala
aginwala@hippopress.com
The Culinary Playground’s Sweet Saturdays series is giving elementary-aged kids the chance to bake — and eat — a tasty treat each month. The next four-class series kicks off on Sept. 26, when kids will learn to make German apple cake. The two-hour class for kids ages 6 to 10 always begins with a dis-
cussion of the day’s dish and a review of the recipe. “A big part is getting kids comfortable reading a recipe,” Kristen Chinosi, instructor and owner of The Culinary Playground, said in a phone interview. “We’ll talk through that because it is very important for them to know what lies ahead. They have to have a good scope.” Once the recipe is clear, the class jumps right into baking. Recipes chosen for the Saturday classes typically have multi-
ple parts to them so the young bakers can make the most of the two hours. Chinosi said cakes or cookies with a filling are great because while one part is cooking and cooling, the kids can start in on the other. “[And] we want it to be appropriate for their level,” she said. “We want it to be a good success rate for them.” Chinosi said it’s important for elementary aged kids to try their hand at baking because it not only helps them develop a

skill, but also encourages them to eat food they’ve made themselves. “It’s so accessible to them,” she said. “It’s food that they love … and within their comfort zone and they love to try what they've created so that can set a nice [foundation for future cooking].” Also, since baking really is a science, kids can take what they’re learning in school and apply it to the kitchen. “They’re learning about fractions and math and this [is] actually where that can all come together and culminate in a realworld application,” she said. Upcoming Sweet Saturdays classes include Halloween whoopie pies for October, gingerbread cupcakes with pumpkin cream cheese frosting for November and a holiday cookie sampler for December. “We try to be really seasonal about it,” Chinosi said of the class topics. “We really Food Fairs/festivals/expos • APPLE HARVEST DAY Enjoy a day of vendors, pony rides, live entertainment and lots of apples at the 31st annual event.

Anton and Monika Berger weren’t planning to open a restaurant when they moved to New Hampshire in 2009, even though they had already owned two restaurants in Munich, Germany. But a dearth of real German food in the area prompted them to open Bavaria German Restaurant (Granite Hill Plaza, 1461 Hooksett Road, Hooksett, 8365280, bavaria-nh.com) in 2010 with a menu full of authentic favorites like sauerbraten, rindergulasch, jagerschnitzel and only imported German beers.

The Windham Restaurant welcomes guests to Dining with the Dead. Courtesy photo.
On Tuesday, Sept. 29, two dozen people will head to The Windham Restaurant for an out-of-the-ordinary evening during Dining with the Dead, a series that brings paranormal specialists to New Hampshire. For over a decade, the New England Ghost Project, a paranormal investigative group based in Dracut., Mass., has partnered with The Windham Restaurant to regularly host nights of paranormal education and presentations over dinner. Ronald Kolek, director of the New England Ghost Project, said his involvement with the restaurant began even before it became The Windham. A previous owner asked him to come in and investigate following reports of waitresses’ necklaces randomly unclasping and other odd occurrences. “The great thing about it [is] you can develop a picture of what’s going on there, so it’s not a little something that might have been associated with one person, [it] seems to be associated with the building [more than] the people involved there,” Kolek said in a phone interview. Vess Liakas opened The Windham Restaurant 2001. It’s an American fare bistro serving small plate appetizers, fresh seafood, Italian favorites and grilled dishes. Previously the space had housed a French restaurant, and a Thai restaurant before that, though the building itself has been around for much longer. “The building is a little over 220 years old now and it has a pretty interesting past, to say the least,” Liakas said in a phone interview. It wasn’t until initial renovations began that Liakas learned of the building’s history. “We were doing some work one day and a couple guys came up to me and said, ‘Do you know that place is haunted?’” he recalled. “And that was my first information on it.”

Not long after The Windham opened, Liakas heard from New England Ghost Project. “Somebody had presented me with some pictures from when it was a previous restaurant … they had done a couple of investigations into it,” Liakas said. “The more I learned about it, the more I became interested in it.” Kolek said once he started investigating the building, there was always something new happening and more to be learned at The Windham, making it a natural pairing for the dinner series. “Our primary focus is investigation, and we share that information and that’s how we educate people,” he said. “[It’s] just a perfect partnership.” The next Dining with the Dead features British ghost hunter Steve Parsons, regarded as one of the United Kingdom’s top paranormal investigators. Featured speakers at the dinners range from ghost hunters to mediums to mentalists, giving first timers and returning guests the chance to see something new. The evening will begin with the meal — guests have the choice of baked scrod, chicken bianco, steak tips or eggplant parmesan — then Kolak will address the crowd and tell them about the New England Ghost Project and the history of The Windham Restaurant. “It’s a lot of fun to have a building that has a past like that. I’m always finding out new stories,” Liakas said. Having led special events at many locations, Kolek said mixing dinner and a presentation is the best of both worlds.

All of a sudden, cauliflower rice is everywhere. I’ve made mashed potatoes with cauliflower, and I’ve made pizza crust with it, but I never knew about the rice. And now that I know about making rice with cauliflower, that’s all I ever hear about! Who knew cauliflower was so versatile? Or maybe I’m a little late to the party. Cauliflower is one of those vegetables that also seems a bit starchy. But don’t let that fool you; it’s still incredibly good for you. Packed with a ridiculous amount of vitamin C (think 400 percent daily value per serving) and tons of fiber and potassium, this almost seems like a super food — especially considering that you can substitute it for things like potatoes, pizza dough and rice.

In the same species as broccoli and Brussels sprouts, cauliflower is tough to grow around here in New Hampshire. Best started as a seedling, cauliflower prefers mild temperatures and detests both extreme heat and cold. It takes about 75 days to grow, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac. I’ve never grown cauliflower myself — I didn’t have any luck with broccoli this year so I certainly wasn’t going to try cauliflower! If you’re eating a Paleo diet or just cutting your carbs, this rice could be a great alternative for you.

Picking up a bottle of wine and drinking it is one thing, but seeing where the grapes actually came from is another. I have wanted to learn more about the winemaking process and finally had the chance to harvest grapes during Labor Day weekend. My boyfriend and I got up early on a recent Saturday and headed to Fulchino Vineyard in Hollis. Owner and winemaker Al Fulchino had sent out an email calling for volunteers to help harvest, something we had been looking forward to since he mentioned it during an earlier visit. I was happy that the timing worked out and we were able to make it, as Al has to make judgment calls on the grapes regarding the weather and sugar content. It was a beautiful morning and the sun was just coming up over the vineyard as we arrived. Some people were already in the vineyard harvesting grapes. We were given tools and a tutorial, which was pretty simple: stay within the designated area, pick any grapes you can see and place them into the bucket. We started the day by picking red grapes that Al uses in three wine blends: Tutto di Rossi, Villa Fulchino and Classico. But because we weren’t picking just any and all grapes, our group stuck to designated rows where Al had identified that the grapes were ready based on their sugar. He said that they were reading at about 24 to 28 percent using his refractometer, though the sweeter grapes were the ones in the sunny part of the vineyard. Al showed us the inside of one of the grapes, noting that you can tell a lot about the fruit by looking at its seed and pulp inside. “This helps tell you when the grapes are ready to be picked,” he said. “These could have maybe gone another week, but you have to start somewhere.” In addition to weather, Al competes with natural predators like bears, deer and birds. Once the grapes are ripe, they are in high demand, so Al makes a judgment call about getting the harvest going. By mid-day, about 30 people had arrived to help, and for many it was not their first, or even second, harvest. Al and Susan have many friends, customers and neighbors who are happy to help work in the vineyard all day. “We have friends who come help out. We can’t repay them,” Al said. However, looking around the vineyard and seeing everyone enjoy themselves, it was clear they didn’t expect repayment and were hap-

py to be there. Once the grapes are collected in buckets, they are dumped into the crusher/destemmer, which sends the grapes into a large round bucket below and the stems into their own trash bucket. This creates a juice and pulp mixture, which will ferment in the buckets anywhere from 10 days to a couple of weeks. Once it has reached a satisfactory level, it will be pressed with a bladder press and pumped into a barrel, where it will be aged. After lunch, we began harvesting frontenac gris grapes, which are light purple and green in color but result in a light white wine. They were much easier to harvest due to their tight clusters. We had the opportunity to taste both the red and white grapes off the vines and following their trip through the crusher/ destemmer. The juice was delicious and some of the best grape juice I had ever tasted, as it was freshly pressed. Overall, Al estimated that we harvested about 1,500 pounds of white and 3,200 pounds of red grapes for the day. Volunteers were scheduled to pick again the following day. This was my first harvesting experience, but I hope it is not my last. I have a deeper appreciation for Fulchino Vineyard’s wines, having been part of their journey from their beginning in the vineyard. The group worked hard in the hot sun, but the sense of accomplishment was huge. Thank you to owners Al and Susan for allowing us to be part of this experience and for being patient with me as I took a bunch of pictures and asked questions all day.

This Canadian neo-hard-rock band has been around for 25 years, notching its first successful single, the campfire-metal ballad “One Thing,” in 2005, routine work for this type of outfit (quintet of mop-haired Creed types picks up acoustic guitar, legion of wrestling fans gets tearyeyed when the tune is used during a WWE tribute segment honoring the departed Chris Benoit). On opening hard-banger “Gods of Speed,” singer Scott Anderson thankfully dispenses with any screamo technique (a little bit of it actually would have fit, much as I’m not into it myself), and thus their nondescript but fairly effective formula: heavy chords, American Idolfriendly nu-metal vocals, a knack for decent-enough riffing. The juiced-up bass riff on “Criminal” demonstrates an ability to think outside the box for a few seconds, which this genre could always use, even if the beat is kind of stolen from Salt-nPepa’s “Push It.” They’ll be opening for Three Days Grace at the Hampton Casino Ballroom on Sept. 26. B — Eric W. Saeger Beach House, Depression Cherry (Sub Pop Records)
For those new to this Baltimore duo, the “depression” in the album title is a bit misleading. This stuff, as on their first few albums, is a slow-mo dream-popfest, but the more sweeping sound tabled here makes things more transportive, fully evoking the sand and whip-grass suggestive of their moniker. But yeah, if the sounds aren’t actually gloomy, there’s a hint of restlessness — no, inevitability and unattainability — that’s always hulking over the best parts of summer. Now, this is obviously the same sort of sonic detour as Raveonettes, but with less noise and skronk, or at least differently placed noise and skronk, particularly on Victoria Legrand’s vocals, which are droopier and emanate a slight discontentedness but are (and this actually helps) pretty clean in a technical sense. Thus this version of Beach House is a little more accessible than their Swedish predecessors, which has helped them get where they are (lots of hipster press love, and Jay-Z and Beyonce are fans). It’s an acquired taste, but fans of Cocteaus or Black Tambourine will find it quaint. A — Eric W. Saeger
Take Time
• Hmm, wow, look, it’s 1990s pre-alt dunces Collective Soul, with a new album, coming to the download stores with impunity! See What You Started by Continuing is the ironically titled mess I’ll have to face, so let me just go deal with it now, while I can still barely — wait, what’s that you ask, “who’s Collective Soul,” you say? OK, ever been in an elevator and heard a really crummy, soggy grunge-pop song where the singer sings “woah-oh-oh-oh, heaven let your light shine down” and then there’s some crummy slide guitar, and suddenly you’re just barfing, right in the elevator? That’s them. Yes, they were an actual band, not an implanted memory from the Matrix. Let me see if these dingbats have a … ah, there’s a song from this nonsense album, it’s called “This.” Oh, how CUTE, they’re being quirky but rockin’, sort of like Electric Six, and then the chorus comes in and it’s boring. The main problem is that it sounds like Collective Soul, if you want specifics. • Surely you remember when Deafheaven came out with the Sunbather album, and all the black-metal kids were wondering why the hipsters were into it, like, where were they when Bathory was making awesome albums about goat-demons and whatever — you remember, right? Ha ha, yeah, it was sort of like if the entire population of Sufjan Stevens fans suddenly tore off their hemp hair-clips and jammed to Metallica for a few days. Well, it’s time for another giant flash mob by the hipsters with Deafheaven’s new LP, New Bermuda. The title track has some mellow acoustic guitar and then some maniacal black metal, as you’d guess, just the kind of stuff that’s sure to get fans of Grizzly Bear wondering what the hell is wrong with their roommates that they’re listening to Bathory all of a sudden. Does this mean there’s some weird new head-drug or whatnot? (Is there?) • That was fun, huh? Great, let’s go see what other idiotic nonsense is on the … yikes, there’s a new Eagles Of Death Metal album called Zipper Down! As you know (or, more likely, don’t), this Cali band does alt-rock, not death metal. Maybe they should change their name to “Opposite of Deafheaven,” so that hipsters will listen to them and stop wearing silver werewolf pentagrams and goat-demon masks when they go shopping for tastefully ironic clothing. “Complexity” is the first single, comprised of an early Rolling Stones beat underneath Yo La Tengo vocal platitudes. It’s not completely awful. • Wait a second, this looks good, it’s a new Editors album, called In Dream. Unlike all the annoying music nerds, I’ve liked what I’ve heard from this band, and I don’t care what anyone says. Thus, off I go to get disappointed, by trying to find something to listen to for free. “Life is a Fear” is the first single, and it’s pretty cool electrodance-pop, a bit like VNV Nation but heavy on the 1980s vibe. Good stuff, so let me get out of here before some other wingnut band bums me out. — Eric W. Saeger

It’s a good thing Erin Moulton (a.k.a. Erin Robinson) discovered her destined career — fiction writing — just before leaving Emerson College senior year, because few others fit the Windham resident so perfectly. She’s good at other things, too — she studied theater design at school and has worked as an afterschool program educational director and is currently a part-time teen librarian at the Derry Public Library. But, as she explains on her website, it’s as though she was born to write fictional stories. Moulton — her maiden name — was born on Halloween night, and her mother claims to have been struck by lightning while pregnant with her. She had two imaginary friends, Marnie and Katyan Babyan, growing up, and her first memory is of three pterodactyls flying over the preschool playground. She didn’t take a fiction writing class until her senior year as an undergraduate. “I realized I was supposed to be writing. Vermont College of Fine Arts picked me up, and thank God they did,” said Moulton, who was a “baby” compared to her other MFA classmates. “I literally learned to write there. I always did love writing as a kid, but it was the only time I took classes to really focus on the craft.” Though Moulton’s not seeing pterodactyls anymore, her imagination is as active as ever; the new mom has four books to her name, including her most recent, Keepers of the Labyrinth. Ideas usually pop into her head, often in the morning, and this one started with a phrase: “daughter of Ariadne.” It was as though a voice whispered into her ear while she petted her dog in her living room. She literally said aloud, “Who’s that?” And so began the research for her next book. Ariadne, Moulton discovered, was the daughter of Minos, king of Crete, and is involved with the myths of the Minotaur and Theseus. She’s still not certain why her brain dug up these Greek mythology personalities — perhaps she’d passed by the section in the library the day before — but she was immediately intrigued. Crete had always been her favorite myth,

and soon she was waist-deep trying to untangle a story. Research — the fun part of writing, in her opinion — included things like corresponding with a Boston University mythology professor and traveling to Crete along with her husband, sister and now brother-in-law. It’s here she found inspiration for her story’s ancient manor, located at the top of mountain and accessed via a narrow, winding road. Moulton’s past titles have been middle-grade novels, but this one tackles the YA genre and, in her words, is part Greek mythology, part Indiana Jones, part Dan Brown, though some describe it as The Goonies but with girls. It follows a young girl, Lilith Bennette, who’s invited to attend a Future Leaders International conference in Crete, the same her mother attended years ago. Lil has been trying to follow in her mother’s footsteps for years in attempt to solve the mystery of her death; everyone says it was suicide, but Lil won’t believe it. But when Lil arrives at Melios Manor in Greece, things aren’t as they seem, and she soon finds herself in a mythological adventure through the very labyrinth in which the real Minotaur was imprisoned. The book launched at An Unlikely Story, the Plainville, Mass., bookstore owned by Jeff Kinney, author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and her first local event is this Thursday, Sept. 24, at the Derry Public Library. Working at a library, she thinks, gives her structure to her day and enables her to see what else is being published. She writes in the morning and digs up answers to questions in the afternoon, which she loves. It’s strange, sometimes, seeing kids walk by with her books in hand. “My coworkers are so supportive. Ordering my own books for the teen section is so awkward, but they had already ordered three copies before I got the chance,” Moulton said.

POP CULTURE BOOKS
Plenty Ladylike, by Claire McCaskill with Terry Ganey (Simon & Schuster, 227 pages) Remember that girl in high school you hated? The perky blonde who was a cheerleader, homecoming queen, president of the Pep Club and also a perfect student and skilled debater? Except she wasn’t a mean girl, but disarmingly nice, and you couldn’t even hate her without feeling guilty? She’s U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill, and she wants you to buy her book. McCaskill, Missouri’s senator since 2006, is the real-life version of Leslie Knope, the merry bureaucrat Amy Poehler played in Parks and Recreation. In love with government, the Democratic Party and her family — not necessarily in that order — she employs Missouri journalist Terry Ganey to tell her story, that of a girl in a perpetual campaign, to be homecoming queen, a state legislator, state auditor, governor and senator — and cynics might say, given the timing of this memoir, vice president. McCaskill, 62, has been mentioned as a vice presidential contender since as far back as 2008. She may not have the desire (what she really wants to be is Missouri’s first female governor) but she certainly has the resume. She is a lawyer and former county prosecutor, whose experience with criminals made her the rare Democrat who supports the death penalty. (When Missouri recently proposed returning to the firing squad, she tweeted “Not my state’s finest moment.”) But she is deeply ensconced with the party she loves, and her obligatory mid-book collection of photos shows her with Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. There is not a Democrat this
woman can’t get on the phone. The name of the book derives from a comment made by Todd Akin, the Republican who tried to oust McCaskill in 2012. After a debate he said, to much mockery on both sides of the aisle, that she “really hadn’t been very ladylike.” (That wasn’t his most infamous remark, however; that would be his comment about “legitimate rape.”) The memoir is heralded by the author of Lean In, Sheryl Sandberg, who says it “nearly explodes with encouragement for women on how to achieve their dreams.” The key word here is “nearly,” a descriptive brimming with optimism that never delivers (i.e.: Todd Akin “nearly” defeated Claire McCaskill, with 39.2 percent of the vote to her 54.7 percent). The book nearly explodes with encouragement because it ought to: McCaskill is an interesting, irrepressible politician whose story should inspire women across the country and attack the gender gap in public service: Fewer than 20 percent of the members of Congress are women; only 10 percent of governors. And even in state legislatures, women comprise less than one-quarter of lawmakers, although they make up 53 percent of the electorate. Clearly, the women of America need inspiration to join the body politic. Unfortunately, this effort fails. It is a dry, tedious memoir that does not reflect the bubbly vigor of its author, and at times, seems the lovechild of “Confessions of a Narcissist” and the Encyclopedia Brittanica, Missouri Edition. It’s not that McCaskill doesn’t have a compelling story. Here is a woman who, in high school, worked at a fabric store and sewed her own clothes, and in college, waitressed
and bussed tables to put herself through law school. She has succeeded and endured despite a first marriage that ended in divorce, leaving her a single mom of three for seven years before she remarried, and despite a gauntlet of louts who tried to seduce and demean her at every step along her career path. The problem — which in no way diminishes McCaskill’s hard work — is that hers seem all first-world problems, difficult to win sympathy of the masses. The men who hit on her were attracted by her all-American good looks, and she had plenty of inspiration and guidance from her parents, who challenged her to achieve and succeed, and who were politically active themselves. (They went door-to-door canvassing for fun, and McCaskill’s mother, Betty Anne, became the first woman to become city councilwoman in their hometown.) Claire McCaskill’s failure to make the cheerleading squad (instead she became homecoming queen) or to become governor (she became a U.S. senator instead) bring forth a tiny violin. Even her difficult divorce, from an alcoholic with troubled business dealings, while one of the more troubling events in her life, is tempered on the sympathy meter by the fact that she initiated the divorce, to the sorrow of her husband and the unhappiness of their children. But the book’s biggest failure is not the life it conveys, but its wooden prose, which lurches awkwardly from first-person musings to quotes about McCaskill culled from old news stories and, presumably, interviews conducted by her ghostwriter. Despite the senator’s current presence on the national stage, it also suffers from being Missouricentric. It is a book-length resume useful for presidential vetters or Missouri politicos, but the inspiration that Sandberg promises on the cover appears rarely, and then, only in vapors. D — Jennifer Graham

One-sentence review: “Moyes is a Maeve Binchy for the 21st century, and she has the formula down pat: an understanding of family dynamics, a nod to social issues, plenty of moral uplift, and a sentimental streak, all buoyed by a rollicking sense of humor.” — Kirkus Reviews

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ
Black Mass (R)
Johnny Depp and a pair of blue contact lenses play James “Whitey” Bulger in Black Mass, a biopic of the notorious Boston criminal that feels less like a story and more like a timeline of events.
Following Bulger from the 1970s through the mid-1990s, the movie focuses on the relationship between Bulger and John Connolly (Joel Edgerton), an FBI agent and childhood friend. As the film tells it, Connolly, looking to get ahead at the FBI, proposes an alliance with Bulger. Bulger acts as an informant about the criminal underworld of Boston, specifically with regard to the Mafia, and Connolly and the FBI look the other way while Bulger, whose criminal endeavors at the time were centered mainly in South Boston, goes on about his business. “His business” is, according to the deal with the FBI, not supposed to include drugs or murder but, hey, who really reads their terms and conditions agreements? Bulger mostly gives crumbs to the FBI and Connolly pumps up reports on Bulger to make him appear more valuable than he really is. After years of seeming to get a pass from Connolly and his increasingly uneasy colleagues (played by Kevin Bacon, David Harbour and Adam Scott), Bulger and his deal eventually face trouble from a new Assistant U.S. Attorney (Corey Stoll) who decides to go after not just Whitey Bulger but the FBI as well. I think the central problem with Black Mass, the one that gets in the way of its being a really in-depth study of Bulger or his crimes or how it all fit into the bigger picture of Boston in the last quarter of the 20th century, is that everybody involved is still alive. (Or, you know, everybody who wasn’t murdered.) The storytelling shortcuts and dramatic flourishes one expects — who knows what when, the exact nature of their motives, a broader picture of crimes that are committed and how — could probably get a filmmaker sued if he were too flourishy and took too much dramatic license. A perfect example is the character of Billy Bulger, Whitey’s younger brother and president of the Massachusetts state senate during much of this time, played here by an underused Benedict Cumberbatch. All tight-lipped smiles and silences, Cumberbatch’s performance is so nothing that all it really does is acknowledge the existence of Billy. We get no insight on their relationship. And the movie drops in details — Whitey Bulger winning the lottery, for example — that it then never really explains or gives context. Perhaps if you grew up in the Boston area, the bare-bones events could be filled in with the stories, the background you bring into the theater with you. But as a person coming to the movie with very lit-
Black Mass
tle knowledge about the man, I felt like the story I was watching was incomplete and the characters were thinly sketched. We get moments in Bulger’s life, people he knew float in and out, but we never get a sense of what it all means or what drives most of the characters. For all that Black Mass can loosely be described as a Bulger biopic, Connolly ultimately becomes the central character of the movie, the character we know the most about. The movie shows him as a recognition-hungry peacock with a sycophantic admiration for Bulger, who was a childhood hero. Though the most fully realized character in the movie, he also at times verges on cartoony, which makes the FBI’s tolerance of him and the obvious criminality he was protecting seem nonsensical. It’s overly simplistic to say that I liked this movie better when it was fictionalized and called The Departed. But ultimately, even with the Depp performance (which never quite seems as good as the movie thinks it is), Black Mass feels like just a pile of facts, interesting facts sure, but facts not quite stitched together. C+ Rated R for brutal violence, language throughout, some sexual references and brief drug use. Directed by Scott Cooper with a screenplay by Mark Mallouk and Jez Butterworth (from a book by Dick Lehr and Gerard O’Neill), Black Mass is two hours and two minutes long and distributed by Warner Bros.
Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (PG-13)
Teenagers are chased through a post-apocalyptic wasteland by an evil corporation (and some zombie creatures) in Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, a movie that you can find on the shelf near the Divergent or Resident Evil series at the plot big box store.
In the last movie, Thomas (Dylan O’Brien), established as the leader of a
plucky band of amnesiac teens, his jokesand exposition-providing buddy Newt (Thomas Brodie-Sangster), some other guys (Ki Hong Lee, Dexter Darden and Alexander Flores) and Teresa (Kaya Scodelario), whose primary character trait is “girl,” escaped from a grassy area called the Glade, through a series of hurdles called the Maze into a facility belonging to a company called WCKD (pronounced, of course, Wicked). Some people got shot, I recall feeling cheated that instead of an end to a movie we got a setup for a sequel and the gang learned that Earth has been heavily scorched by solar flares and much of humanity has been infected with a zombie-like illness called Flare. The Maze was an experiment that is somehow part of an attempt to find a cure for the Flare. In this movie, the kids, who have been rescued a man named Janson (Aidan Gillen) and an army he commands, wind up at a military-ish facility where they meet other teens who have recently escaped from mazes. Janson explains that the facility is a weigh-station for teens like them who are then transported in small groups to a place unspoiled by Scorch and Flare. Most of the teens are psyched when their names are called — we’re off to our new lives in a green sanctuary full of bacon trees and friendly unicorns! — but Thomas, who has apparently seen a movie before, wonders about the validity of this alleged safe haven. When another longtime facility teen named Aris (Jacob Lofland) helps him sneak around to learn the truth, Thomas persuades his buddies to escape with him into the Scorch, as the desert wasteland which now makes up much of Earth is called. Because he heard Janson and WCKD head honcho Ava (Patricia Clarkson) talk about a resistance group up in the mountains, Thomas urges the gang to head there, even though it means a long punishing walk through a sandy landscape filled with the flesh-hungry Flare zombies. Along the way,

after the apocalypse?) but even Patricia Clarkson’s stupid “greater good” character made more sense here. O’Brien’s Thomas is a charismatic enough leader, no Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss but he’ll do, and scenes of him and Salazar have way more energy than those with him and Scodelario, who, even though her character now has some backstory and motivation, can still be summed up as “Girl Character.” I’m not saying that Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials is a great movie you should go out of your way to see, but as an entry in the increasingly retread-feeling YA dystopia genre, you can do worse. C+ Rated PG-13 for extended sequences of violence and action, some thematic elements, substance use and language. Directed by Wes Ball with a screenplay by T. S. Nowlin (from a book by James Dashner), Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials is two hours and 12 minutes long and distributed by 20th Century Fox.

the gang meets Jorge (Giancarlo Esposito), a minor warlord/gadget tinkerer, and his adopted daughter Brenda (Rosa Salazar), who eventually offer to lead the kids to the resistance in exchange for being able to come along to the rumored resistance-run sanctuary. Along the way, the teens have to face other human ne’er-do-wells and the constant threat of recapture by WCKD and Janson. Even though I don’t care at all about this series’ central mythology or its mostly indistinguishable characters, I enjoyed the action of this second outing way more than the tiresome Glade and Maze of the first movie. Esposito, Gillen and Lili Taylor (who shows up toward the movie’s end) were welcome additions who brought some nice variation to character motives and personalities (Grown-ups: Good for Something!).

It’s not Taylor Swift or Zac Brown Band, but a local version of Fenway Park and Gillette Stadium’s blockbuster summer concerts happens when Craig Morgan appears at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium in Manchester. The performer of country hits like “That’s What I Love About Sunday,” “This Ain’t Nothin’” and “International Harvester” will be joined by Aaron Parker and local favorites Shana Stack Band. 2015 is shaping into Shana Stack and songwriter/co-lead vocalist Ed Leavitt’s favorite year. The southern New Hampshire quintet won multiple awards and played its biggest shows yet, including opening for Toby Keith at Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion at Meadowbrook. “The main stage, that’s always been one of our goals,” Stack said in a recent interview. “It was surreal … a dream come true.” Leavitt concurred and recalled seeing Mary Chapin Carpenter at one of the venue’s earliest shows in the mid-1990s. “I’ve seen it grow all these years,” he said. “This was our fifth year back; they told us, ‘You’ve worked so hard for us, we think you’ve earned this spot.’ We were thrilled and honored.” The year’s magic began on New Year’s Eve. During a gig at the Sheraton Boston, a representative from the New England Music Awards called with news they’d been nominated for Band of the Year. In 2014, the group won the NEMA for best country band, but the Craig Morgan with Aaron Parker & Shana Stack Band When: Friday, Sept. 25, 8 p.m. Where: Northeast Delta Dental Stadium, Manchester Tickets: $39 at palacetheatre.org

current honor caught Leavitt off guard. He greeted the news with gratitude and a belief that it would end there. “When we were nominated and I saw the others, I thought to myself, we’ve lost this one already,” he said. “I’m a fan of some of these bands. Twiddle for instance; I’ve seen them in concert several times and they’re incredibly awesome and so tight and traveling all over the country. We were humbled.” Stack felt like her band had cracked a glass ceiling of sorts. “It was good to see a country band get that recognition,” she said. In some ways, the nod also reflected the genre’s mainstreaming — the group’s most recent record, 2014’s Then & Now, is closer kin with Lady Antebellum than Loretta Lynn. Fast forward to the April awards ceremony. When they heard their name called as the winner from the stage at Patriot Place, shocked doesn’t begin to describe their reaction. “Even after we were standing on stage with

the plaque in our hand making our acceptance speech I thought, there’s been a mistake here,” Leavitt said. They also won a Limelight Award for Country Act of the Year and continue to ride the positive wave generated by the current record, now a year old. The group hopes to release a new single later this year and, if time allows, make a music video. “We really want to do it,” said Leavitt, “but as soon as we get someone interested we’re back on the road.” It’s a happy chaos, however. “We’ve been so busy this year it seems like one big blur,” said Stack. “We were talking as a band the other day — we look at Facebook posts and scroll through pictures on our phone and it almost seems like we’re watching someone else. We’ve been so busy we don’t remember some things. We’ve been constantly on the run, so it’s fun to reflect back on it.”

SIGNS OF LIFE Aries (March 21 – April 19) In kindergarten … at the end of each week the two students with the highest behavior ratings got to have a McDonald’s lunch with the teacher. MCDONALD’S. Remember how those women in Oprah’s audience reacted when she told them they were each getting a free car? That was me the week I got to have the McDonald’s lunch. Good behavior will be rewarded. Taurus (April 20 – May 20) I moved in with the guy I was dating … and I worked at the local Olive Garden. … I saw a lot of overeating that can’t be unseen. Don’t overeat. Gemini (May 21 – June 20) Chips and salsa are a perfectly respectable adult meal. Also, chips and salsa are great to have in your house for expected and unexpected guests. Who doesn’t like chips and salsa? Vegans and meat-chewers alike can finally find common ground. Stock up. Cancer (June 21 – July 22) I always wanted to get good grades, I always wanted to win my events at track meets, I performed in plays, and I joined all the clubs I thought I should join to make my resume look appealing to colleges. I even competed in mock trial for one year, until I realized that I’m NOT a good lawyer. I just liked the excuse to wear a lady suit. Stop and think about why you’re being so competitive. Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) Wash your dishes. Your sink can be a reflection of your state of mind. If I’m having a tough day or a difficult time, I find washing dishes makes me feel better. When my sink is clean, my brain feels clear. And use a good dish detergent. Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) I taught tennis on the weekends …. By “teaching tennis” I really mean: throwing tennis balls at upper-middle-class kids whose parents wanted one hour to drink Chardonnay alone. A job is a job.

All quotes are from Grace’s Guide: The Art of Pretending to Be a Grown-Up, by Grace Helbig, born Sept. 27, 1985. Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) You can find a YouTube tutorial for ANYTHING. I learned how to open a bottle of wine with a shoe! Yes, it took me over an hour and, yes, I later realized I could have purchased a bottle opener from the convenience store down the street, but it worked and I felt smart and resourceful and powerful. You are smart and resourceful and powerful right now. Use it well. Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) It’s apparently “inappropriate” to wear sweatpants to business meetings. But if you ever come to a business meeting at my place, it’ll be inappropriate not to. Pants are irrelevant. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) The dogs of the Internet make it better. The dogs on Instagram in particular are an AMAZING resource for consoling people who are sad. Don’t worry if you don’t know what to say to that friend who got dumped — send her the link to @ beanzhart on Instagram and her day will turn around. Cute kitten videos will also work. Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) That really complicated Starbucks order doesn’t make you interesting. It makes you annoying. Coffee is coffee. It wakes up your brain and your butt. Just get a milkshake. Complicated is actually boring. Remember this. Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) You’re not terrible because you didn’t bring a reusable bag to the grocery store. Yes, everyone else that did is clearly better than you, but you’re not the worst. Just try to recycle in other areas of your life to balance it out. You need to find balance and you need to find it fast. Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) When adding someone to your contacts, write something specific. For example: Joe Interesting Wedding Dancer, Megan Lopsided Hair, Chris Red Lobster Adonis. Personal details are important.

• In September, Tennessee Attorney General Herbert Slatery concluded that records of an investigation need not be released to the Memphis City Council because there was no comma. The law requires the records’ release “only in compliance with a subpoena or an order of a court.” Slatery said if there had been a comma after “subpoena,” a council subpoena would get the records, but without the comma, only court subpoenas. • In July, Andrea Cammelleri prevailed on her parking ticket challenge because there was no comma. A West Jefferson, Ohio, ordinance banned parking of any “motor vehicle camper, trailer.” A state appeals judge ruled that, with a comma after “vehicle,” Cammelleri’s truck would have been banned, but without it, only campers and trailers were.

In April, the City Council of Columbia, Missouri, rigged a specially drawn “Community Improvement District” to pass a sales tax increase. Under the law, if the District had no “residents” to vote, the “election” would be decided by the tax-friendly business owners. However, the Council somehow missed that college student Jen Henderson, 23, actually lived there and had registered to vote, meaning the business owners could not vote and that the tax increase would be decided by ... Henderson. (In late August, the Council “postponed” the election and at press time were in a quandary, as Henderson said she’s against higher taxes.)
Cultural diversity
• While “Deep South” states’ courts are notorious for death sentences, the “epicenter” of capital punishment in recent years has shifted to Southern California, according to a September Slate.com analysis. While neither Texas, Georgia, North Carolina nor Virginia has issued a death sentence this year, Riverside County, California, has recorded seven, and since 2010, Riverside and Los Angeles County have led the nation in death-row assignments. (Ironically, of course, California rarely actually executes anyone; its death row has 748 residents, and no one has walked the last mile since 2006.) • Egypt’s notorious corruption apparently reached a new level of victimizing in the summer as Mariam Malak, one of the topperforming high school students in the entire country, not only failed all six of her final exams but received scores of “zero” in each. Her family, and a legion of supporters on social media, have demanded that the prime minister investigate, especially whether another student had paid to acquire Mariam’s scores or whether Mariam was failed intentionally because she is of Egypt’s Coptic Christian minority.
Bright ideas
The Cambridge, Massachusetts, company AOBiome believes we have dangerously stripped “good bacteria” from our skins via “excessive cleaning” and has introduced for sale “Mother Dirt” spray to add it back. Chemical engineer and co-founder Dave Whitlock told WBZ-TV in September that he personally has “not taken a shower in over The entrepreneurial spirit Spike’s Tactical of Apopka, Florida, intro- 12 years,” but instead uses his odorless bacteduced its version of the AR-15 assault rifle ria-restoring mist twice a day to cover himself this summer “designed to never be used by Muslim terrorists.” Laser-etched on one side is a symbol of the Christian Crusades and on the other, language from Psalm 144. Spike’s Tactical CEO Angela Register predicted brisk sales: “Men like to accessorize their guns more than women like to accessorize their outfits.”
Faux pregnancy
A teenage girl in Wyandotte, Michigan, using $9.95 tools from a website called FakeABaby.com, pretended for months to be pregnant (with abdomen extenders and ultrasound photos of her “triplets”). She received gifts, had a baby shower, joined expectant mother groups and even frightened her 16-year-old boyfriend enough that he began looking for full-time work to feed the soon-due “babies.” However (obviously), the ruse fell apart in the 10th month (in August), drawing community outrage, but according to the sheriff, none of the “victims” who were fooled have come forward to press fraud charges.
with helpful “dirt” that activates the “good” bacteria. The company will soon begin clinical trials to demonstrate whether Mother Dirt (which also comes in shampoo form) can additionally improve certain skin conditions.
Perspective
Ten years after Hurricane Katrina left tens of thousands homeless in New Orleans and neighboring Gulf states, many of the 120,000 hastily constructed box-type trailers ordered up and later condemned for concentrations of carcinogenic formaldehyde by the Federal Emergency Management Agency are still being used in the U.S., though most living in them have no clue about the risk. The most recent users were oilfield workers in North Dakota boomtowns, but shady entrepreneurs had also bought trailers at FEMA auctions and sold them for tornado and flood victims after removing FEMA’s “Not For Human Habitation” stickers, according to a major investigation by Grist.org, released in August.
Failure to keep a low profile
(1) Maurice Stewart, 22, on the lam since November while wanted for armed robbery in Cleveland, Ohio, was arrested in August when police spotted a man matching his description notably, his one-of-a-kind tattoo of a semiautomatic rifle just below his right eye. (2) Nearly every courthouse forces visitors to walk through a metal detector after leaving pocket contents in bins. Isaac Phillips, 24, faced several charges from a courthouse visit in August in Cincinnati because among the items he had to remove from his pocket were a drug scale and a razor blade. After a short chase (and a Tasering), he was arrested. Visit weirduniverse.net.
