A home is more than a shelter. There is something in us as social beings that also needs our home to be in a community, a place of shared values and traditions. Daily, we watch the plight of refugees from the Middle East, Africa and further afield, fleeing war and seeking safe harbor in Europe. Yes, they are hoping for a country that will take them in and give them shelter. But not far down the list of needs is a community in which to live, especially one that will respect the traditions they carry with them while welcoming them to new ones. The wisdom of the old bumper sticker “Think globally but act locally” is being played out here in New Hampshire. It is the Inti Soccer Academy. Daily, individuals and families are coming to our cities and towns. They come from Latin America, Somalia, Burundi, Congo, Tanzania, Rwanda, Bhutan, Iraq and Afghanistan. For some, the shelter they find here is a welcome change from a refugee encampment. With the help of the several resettlement programs, they begin to find their way, learning a new language, finding new foods, experiencing a very different climate, but for those children of such families, dealing with the challenge of negotiating a school, perhaps even for the first time in their lives, is huge. Newness can be daunting, and for many, there is a profound longing for something that is familiar, reminiscent of home. That’s where the Inti Soccer Academy plays a role. Recognizing that soccer is the lingua franca of most refugee and immigrant groups coming to our state, the Inti Academy, founded in 2009, offers these new residents in our community a place of reference. As the Academy describes itself, “We use soccer as a ‘cultural hook’ to involve the players in a sport they love and then teach them to improve their English skills while exposing them to opportunities, including an art program, that will encourage them to develop and succeed.” More than a third of Manchester’s schoolage children are disadvantaged economically. In addition, many immigrant and refugee children struggle with more issues settling in than simply a new language, thus sometimes being at risk for other problems. They deserve a shelter, yes. They deserve a home, yes. But it is in the interest of us all that they be welcomed into our community. The Inti Soccer Academy’s mission is that of “Brightening the lives of Manchester’s Inner City Youth.” To find out more, go to intiacademy.org. It will brighten your day as well.

NEWS & NOTES REAL ID
New Hampshire lawmakers are planning on taking up legislation in the next session that would give Granite Staters an option to make their driver’s licenses compliant with new federal rules laid out in the REAL ID Act. The Concord Monitor reported New Hampshire is one of four states, along with Louisiana, New York and Minnesota, that are currently not compliant. A bill would allow residents to opt in to the program, which would file their photo and Social Security number with the Department of Safety. Those who choose to keep their regular ID will need a passport to fly or enter federal buildings by 2020.
Debtors prison?
A new report by the American Civil Liberties Union of New Hampshire finds that judges in the state are jailing people who can’t afford to pay fines, a practice that’s unconstitutional and, it argues, costly. The Union Leader reported the ACLU called the practice a modern-day “debtor’s prison” administered by circuit court judges throughout the state. Representatives of the courts charged with working with the ACLU to fix any problems agree that nobody should be jailed for not paying fines they’re unable to pay and admits judges make mistakes, but disputes the issue is systemic. Incarcerating someone for failing to pay fines is only legal when they are found to willfully avoid payment through a hearing process. In many cases, the ACLU report found the hearing process was not initiated and Clarification In the Q&A in the Sept. 9 issue, the Hippo spoke with Sonia Wilks of the Concord YMCA about Camp Spaulding. In the interview, it was implied the camp was specifically for children with behavioral disorders before YMCA became involved. Child and Family Services and the YMCA would like to clarify that while those children have been welcome, that was not the camp’s sole mission. Historically, under the auspices of CFS, the camp has been primarily accessible to children from low income families. HIPPO | OCTOBER 1 - 7, 2015 | PAGE 4

good growing season and some hope to capitalize on it by planting a bumper crop of new trees. NHPR reported Brookdale Farm in Hollis planted 11,000 new trees for 2018 and they’re using a new method growing in popularity in New York and Washington to increase apple production. The trees are planted closer together and they will be aggressively pruned so they grow upward instead of outward. This is called a tall spindle orchard. Brookdale owners hope to quadruple apple production and get 2,000 bushels per acre.
can Association of Universities found that 28 percent of female students at Dartmouth College have been sexually assaulted. NHPR reported the study surveyed 150,000 students in 27 schools across the country. Dartmouth was ranked a little higher than the national average of 23 percent. Of the women who reported unwanted sexual encounters while at Dartmouth, only 36 percent reported the incidents. The school is starting its own study of campus culture next month.

A place for entrepreneurs, geeks & makers
By Ryan Lessard
Manchester explores makerspace while Nashua space expands
news@hippopress.com
Divided GOP Billionaire Donald Trump has released his tax plan and it calls for not taxing individuals making less than $25,000 a year — $50,000 for couples — and those in the next tax bracket would pay 10 percent in taxes. The Wall Street Journal reported he would also lower the top rate of 39.5 percent to 25 percent, but Trump says he would eliminate deductions and loopholes available to the very rich. The CNN/WMUR New Hampshire Primary Poll conducted by the UNH Survey Center and released on Sept. 24 shows Trump holding a narrowing lead with 26 percent of likely GOP voters saying they would vote for him today. Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina has jumped to second place with 16 percent, mirroring nationwide polls following her well-received performance in the CNN debate. She was in 13th place with 1 percent in the July poll released in early August. Following her is Florida Sen. Marco Rubio with 9 percent, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson with 8 percent and Jeb Bush and Ohio Gov. John Kasich both at 7. On Sept. 30, Carson returned to tour New Hampshire’s seacoast, as Trump hosted a rally at Keene High School and Bush held a town hall in Bedford. Biden splits the Clinton vote A super-PAC encouraging Vice President Joe Biden to enter the race added three New Hampshire staffers, the Concord Monitor reported. The CNN/WMUR poll showed Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders gaining a 16-point lead over Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire. Of likely Democratic voters, 46 percent said they would vote for Sanders. However, Clinton’s support appears to be divided by the prospect of Biden entering the race. Biden was in third place with 14 percent and 40 percent of his supporters told pollsters they would support Clinton as their second choice, compared to 19 percent for Sanders. Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley was in fourth place with 2 percent.

The maker movement is gaining steam in New Hampshire as Manchester considers establishing its own makerspace — a place where crafty engineer-types can gather and share knowledge and tools to make things — while in Nashua, the state’s first makerspace prepares to expand.
Geek culture
It’s 7 p.m. on a Monday and about 30 people have gathered in a vacant industrial space near the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. This 5,000-square-foot rear suite at 1050 Perimeter Road is one of the places Steve Korzyniowsky and a board of six others are considering to set up a new makerspace for the greater Manchester area. “We’d like to give the city a place for entrepreneurs, geeks, tinkerers and makers of all kinds to congregate and put together those things that you wouldn’t normally be able to do,” Korzyniowsky, the board’s vice president, said. The space would be available to members who pay a monthly fee and share equipment like 3D printers, milling machines, lathes, laser cutters, welding equipment and more. There would also be opportunities for mentorship and training. “The only place you would find that is in a makerspace,” Korzyniowsky said. The Sept. 21 meeting was an informational session for donors and early members and the formal start of the non-profit’s fundraising efforts. Representatives from Nashua’s MakeIt Labs and Portsmouth’s Port City Makerspace were also there to speak to the group about their experiences. Korzyniowsky says the goal is to raise about $60,000 to secure a space before year’s end. Besides this spot by the airport, which is owned by Brady Sullivan, he’s

also looking at a 12,000-square-foot space next to Club Manchvegas on Old Granite Street, which has lower rent but fewer parking options. So far, there’s already been interest expressed by educators at Hillside Middle School and UNH Manchester to collaborate, Korzyniowsky said. Members of the FIRST Robotics team for Manchester High School West and Goffstown High School were at the meeting because they need space to build their robots. They offered to bring in a CNC machine and other pieces of equipment. Ian Cook, a member of the Nashua makerspace, spoke during the meeting and shared a few anecdotes of how his membership has been helpful to him, including one in which he was hired to do some aerial photography of a car race with his drone. “I had a quadcopter. I was messing around with it a week before [the gig] and I crashed it and broke one of the motors,” Cook said. “So, with a week to go and a gig on Friday, I said, ‘Alright, let’s hope that three motors does the job,’ and I made a tricopter.” Cook says he was able to design and laser cut the body that housed the electronics, make arms in the woodshop, design and 3D-print motor mounts and a swivel for the rear motor and put it all together in about six hours. “All of the stuff was there to make that happen,” Cook said. Clint Crosbie, a co-founder of the Port City Makerspace, which opened in 2012, thinks setting up in Manchester could help the local economy. “I think Manchester is going to be a great city to put it in. I think the tech sector that exists here is going to be a really important driver for that,” Crosbie said. He says companies like Dyn will have an easier time attracting a talented work-
force by pointing to community resources like this. “By having places like makerspaces, you’re showing the outside world what your community embraces and encourages and what they value,” Crosbie said. Plus, he says “geek culture” is on a big upswing right now.
Moving MakeIt
While Korzyniowsky is trying to ride the momentum of that upswing, Adam Shrey, the president of MakeIt Labs, is poised to expand very soon. MakeIt Labs is moving a few doors down from its current space at 29 Crown St., thanks to $30,000 raised so far — partly on the crowdfunding site Indiegogo — and the recently announced donation tax credits currently offered by the New Hampshire Community Development Finance Authority, which will help Shrey reach the goal of $250,000. The new location at 25 Crown St. will boast an initial 11,500 square feet of space plus a portion of basement space, which is up from 6,000 square feet at the old location. “We’re in the process of getting stuff set up now,” Shrey said in a phone interview. “We’re shooting for the end of the year ... [to] be completely out of the old one and into the new one.” Eventually, Shrey hopes to fill out more of the basement and turn the initially unused space on the second floor into a 4,200-square-foot technology-based coworking space, bringing the total used space up to about 20,000 square feet. MakeIt Labs opened in Lowell, Massachusetts, in 2010 and moved to Nashua nine months later, making it the first makerspace to set up in New Hampshire. People interested in donating or becoming a member of the Manchester Makerspace can reach Korzyniowsky at stevekorzy@comcast.net.

NEWS & NOTES
QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX State ranks 15th lowest in adult obesity New Hampshire scored better than Maine in a recent study that ranked the Granite State 15th lowest in adult obesity rates. The AP reported in the study released by the Trust for America’s Health reported New Hampshire’s obesity rate at 27.4 percent, below the national average of 34.9 percent. It ranked Maine as 19th. The neighboring states of Massachusetts and Vermont outperformed New Hampshire, however. Massachusetts was in fourth place with 23.3 percent of obese adults and Vermont was ranked sixth with 24.8 percent. In 1980, no state had an obesity rate higher than 15 percent. Let’s aim for that again. QOL Score: 0 (Would it be wrong for QOL to celebrate New Hampshire’s relative health with a Snickers?) Comment: Hawaii, Colorado, and Washington D.C. had the lowest rates of adult obesity around 22 percent.
75
Food inspection gaps The food we buy in the state may not be as safe as we had assumed. The AP reported that a recent audit of New Hampshire’s food protection program found several deficiencies. The audit report called the state’s system “fractured” and said inefficiencies are resulting in 600 fewer inspections annually than there should be. It also calculated a net loss of $1 million from uncollected fees and fines each year, according to the Union Leader. QOL Score: -1 Comment: Auditors said state procedures are potentially leading to foodborne illnesses, and high-risk food establishments are not being inspected in a timely manner.
More than 4,500 sets of the overdose reversal drug naloxone, better known as Narcan, should be available in New Hampshire next month, according to a NHPR report. There are kits and training for about 100 people, paid for by a $450,000 federal grant and will be distributed to 11 of the state’s 13 community health centers. Each kit includes two doses of medication, the nasal applicator and a pair of gloves, which are packaged in a bag with instructions printed on it. The Department of Health and Human Services plans to hold sessions to train the trainers, while New Hampshire pharmacies are also gearing up to provide Narcan to customers. QOL Score: +1 Comment: The governor is expected to give an update on the Narcan rollout at a press conference next week, according to the story.

As most of you know, the great Yogi Berra died last week, unleashing an unprecedented outpouring of sentiment from the sports writing community, with a marvelous piece from Tom Verducci on SI.com being the best of the bunch. I say unprecedented because it surpassed anything I’ve seen after the passing of even greater players like Stan Musial, Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio. It was a storytelling mix of loss, sadness, kindness, affability, joy, respect, admiration and of course humor — all of the Yogi-isms I knew were on display and to my surprise a few I hadn’t heard, with the best coming from political columnist and baseball lover George Will, which is in the Glossary. All of which illustrated the unique, beloved place Yogi holds in the baseball community. You know, as you get older life, or, better stated, the end of it comes screaming at you more and more quickly. Certainly, faster than most of us like. You start seeing more and more people that you know, knew, or kind of knew through their being famous for one reason or another pass away. Two big ones hit home last week. The first was Jimmy Olsen, the “cub” reporter in the 1950s TV version of Superman. Even though I saw each episode about a zillion times, I watched Superman on WPIX in New York almost every day leading to dinner. Of course Jimmy wasn’t real, he actually was actor Jack Larson, and when he died on Monday he was 87. Jeepers, Mr. Kent, how could that be? Yogi, on the other hand, was real, and I watched him age through most of my sports life, which I began as a Yankees fan. But I can only recall actually seeing him hit live just once, which ironically came in the very first major-league game I ever went to, on Aug. 29, 1962, at Yankee Stadium. With the Yanks
losing 3-2 in the ninth, Yogi came up to pinch hit and did something I had never seen before and haven’t seen again over the next 53 years. It happened when Gary Bell’s overhand curveball bounced six feet in front of the plate. Undeterred, Yogi, a notorious bad ball hitter, stayed back in his stance, and when the ball came off the ground belt high, dead center of the plate, he ripped a line drive into right for a single. That’s always made me chuckle, and I guess if I only can recall one at-bat from him I’m glad that was the one. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t know about the career or his stats. Because from the very start I was all over that. So how good was he? Well, Ted Williams said he feared Yogi in the big moments even more than he did Mantle, which says something. But even more telling is Casey Stengel, who had DiMaggio toward the end, Mantle and Whitey Ford during his time with the Yanks, saying Yogi was the best player he ever managed. You can talk about the homers, the 100RBI seasons, the three MVPs, but what stands out to me is playing on more World Series winners than anyone in history. His 10 are one more than even DiMaggio. The winning started in his first full season of 1947 and included five straight Series wins between 1949 and 1953 — and no one besides his teammates during that time can make that claim. Part of that, like it is for Tom Brady, is being on a great team that helps provide all those opportunities. In fact if you look at those Yankees teams in the 1950s they’re a lot like the Belichick Patriots. They were built around a few stars — Mantle, Ford and Berra — complemented by a revolving series of solid role-players who produced for a few years and then were replaced by similar, younger, cheaper versions. But like with Brady it’s also about delivering when it matters. And since he finished first, second or third in the voting for MVP every year between 1950 and 1956, he
delivered even more than Mantle. In addition to those 10 titles, you can throw in four more AL pennants as a player, taking both the Yanks (1964) and the Mets (1973) to the World Series as manager, and three more Series wins as a coach with the Yanks and Mets. So while their games are different, he’s the Bill Russell of baseball. And in addition to ability, it says something about his leadership skill and I don’t mean the bogus kind Scott Walker said he was showing while leaving the presidential race. The only thing I didn’t see in all those stories was a debate over whether he was a better all-round catcher than Johnny Bench — they generally are acknowledged to be the two best, with Mickey Cochrane, Carlton Fisk, Bill Dickey, Ivan Rodriguez and maybe the great-hitting but weak defensively Mike Piazza in the next group. So let’s take a look. At his absolute peak Bench probably was best, like in his monster MVP seasons in 1970 (45 homers and 148 RBI) and 1972 (42 and 129). Plus Bench broke Yogi’s homer record for catchers playing in a tougher home run park. But he had no other Top 3 MVP finishes. Yogi had six to make him consistently great for a longer period. Bench was done as a catcher at 32, Yogi at 35, though moved out in part to accommodate the emerging Elston Howard. Both had five 100-RBI seasons, but Yogi was over 90 RBI nine times. Over 20 homers 10 times as a catcher. I’m totally biased, but I’ll take Yogi’s considerably higher batting average, more career RBI, three MVPs to two, more Top 3 MVP finishes and longer consistent greatness, over Bench’s higher absolute peak. Either way, though, the great playing skill only partly explains how Yogi grew to be the lovable baseball treasure last week’s outpouring of affection obviously showed him to be.

Trinity wins for Michaud Win One for the Gipper Award: To the Trinity volleyball team, who delivered a get-well-soon 3-0 win over Mascoma to coach Tara Michaud in their first game without her after she suffered serious injuries in an auto accident the previous weekend. Sports 101: Whose record for homers by a catcher did Yogi Berra break on his way to retiring with the most homers by a catcher, and who are the three now ahead of him on that list? Hot Ticket: With the Granite State Baseball Dinner just around the corner, the big early news is that Sox centerfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. will be there on Saturday, Nov. 21, at the Radisson Hotel Expo Center. Early confirmations also include local legend Chris Carpenter and Prince Fielder’s dad, Cecil, who hit 51 homers for the Tigers in 1990. Check the F-Cats website for the details. Player of the Week: When you run for 232 yards and five TDs you’re going to get noticed, and Devin Leonard was after doing that in leading Nashua North to a 47-27 win over Nashua South. The Hat Trick Award: To Central’s duo
The Numbers
3 – laps to go when Sprint Car champ Kevin Harvick ran out of gas, paving the way for Matt Kenseth to take the checkered flag for the Sylvania 300 at the NH Motor Speedway on Sunday. 17 – consecutive times Pinkerton Academy has now beaten neighboring Londonderry dating back to 2001 after Friday’s 35-20 win behind Brett Dattilo’s 169 rushing yards and the 29-yard
of Sara (no) Swetland and Katya Levasseur for each delivering a hat trick in the Green’s 6-1 NHIAA soccer win over Keene. That gave Swetland six for the week as she had another three in an 8-2 win over Spaulding. The Numbers: Five was the magic number for Derryfield School goalkeeper Tommy Cissel, who stopped five shots to get his fifth shutout of the year in a 4-0 win over Newmarket as the Cougars moved to 7-0. Sports 101 Answer: With 232, Hall of Famer Gabby Hartnett held the catchers’ homer record before Berra took the lead and retired with 305 (358 overall), a record Johnny Bench (321), Carlton Fisk (351) and Mike Piazza (396) later passed.

Stonebridge CC on Wednesday before falling back to eventual winner Ryan Kohler of Hooper Golf Club. 400 – fourth best in NFL history touchdown passes now thrown by Tom Brady after hitting Danny Amendola in the waning seconds on the first half of the Patriots’ 51-17 win over Jacksonville on Sunday, which grew to 401 after another to newcomer Keyshawn Martin later in the game.
Scott Walker Leadership: If leadership is defined as “Holy cow I’m out of money and have sunk lower in the polls than the Patriots Q rating” after the electorate got to know him, followed by a delusional statement about being a “leader” to save face from his rapid fall from the front runner spot, then I guess him stepping out of the race was an act of leadership. George Will: Washington Post conservative political writer and baseball fan/historian of note whose baseball quiz that appears each opening day is the most challenging and fair test of its kind for the educated baseball history fan. He also delivered in Ken Burns’ epic PBS Baseball series the best stat to support the great Stan Musial’s amazing consistency by telling us that 1,815 of his 3,630 career hits came at home and other 1,815 on the road. George Will’s Yogi-ism: When told Ireland’s very Catholic city of Dublin had elected a Jewish mayor, Yogi said, “Only in America.” Dave Long’s Favorite Yogi-isms: (1) “Baseball is 90 percent mental, the other half is physical.” (2) “No one goes there anymore because it’s too crowded.” (3) “You better cut the pizza into four pieces, because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.” (4) The congratulatory telegram he sent Johnny Bench after breaking his homer record for catchers, “Congratulations on breaking my home run record. I always thought the record would stand until it was broken.” (5) “Always go to other people’s funerals, otherwise they won’t go to yours.” (6) “Even Napoleon had his Watergate.” (7) “I never said most of the things I said.”

Twenty years ago, the New Hampshire furniture making scene changed drastically when a group of artists came together to form the New Hampshire Furniture Masters. They held the organization’s first-ever auction on June 29, 1996, with the help of many community members: Tony Hartigan, Van McLeod, Mary McLaughlin, John Frisbee, Allison Banks and Jen Lucic. Thirteen furniture makers participated and sold 26 pieces. Sales totaled around $188,000. The organization brought attention to the high-quality craftsmanship in the state, and since then, the scene has evolved a great deal. Museums like the Currier Museum of Art now have large collections of handmade furniture. NHFM member David Lamb became the state’s fourth artist laureate in 2010. Members received more commissions and continued to create, and outside the group, artists have begun pushing boundaries with 21st-century tools and
innovative designs. In celebration of the masters’ 20th anniversary gala and auction being held Sunday, Oct. 4, in Portsmouth, the Hippo decided to take a look at the evolution of New Hampshire furniture making, from dovetails and hand carvings to 3D printers and laser cutters. In the opinion of Manchester maker Vivian Beer, the field has never been so diverse — or exciting.
Furniture makers hate promoting themselves. This is what Hartigan noticed when he began working with that initial group of artists in the mid-1990s. He and Frisbee, executive director of the New Hampshire Historical Society at the time, wanted to call attention to the existence of master craftsmanship. They saw the furniture being made in New Hampshire was superior even to furniture in the Historical Society’s collection that was hundreds of years old. These pieces were made with the same traditional techniques but were created to survive 21st-century hous-
es with heating and air conditioning. (Many antiques, Lamb said, split come winter due to expansion and contraction.) At the time, there wasn’t an organized group that could help these furniture makers market themselves. Sure, there was the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, but handmade furniture is sold at an entirely different price point. There was the Guild of New Hampshire Woodworkers, but that was more a club focused on sharing techniques, not selling work, which is what this group of artists needed to do to stay afloat. Frisbee and Hartigan and numerous others met with a core group of makers once a month for three years before coming up with the idea of an auction. Hartigan was the main push behind it, inspired by the thoroughbred horse auctions he saw when he was growing up in Saratoga, New York. “I was the one who pushed for the auction because it has a natural supply-demand tension. There are very few people in the world who can produce this art at this extraordinarly discriminated level. And if there is a shortage, there should be a demand,” Hartigan said in a phone interview.

out too much difficulty. If you were in Massachusetts, there are so many people there, and there are a lot of doors you have to get through before you reach the governor’s office. … [Out-of-staters] would come all the way over here to market their work because they realized the auction and the form we have is very unique.” NHFM members interviewed said they noticed an immediate change in sales after the group’s formation. Lamb’s backlog grew even larger, and Ted Blachly, who heads the organization’s Concord gallery, said he gathered more patrons who would not only commission work from him but also financially back him while he pursued his own personal designs. Bill Thomas, whose piece was the first sold in that 1996 auction, became busier in the workshop as well. Plus, now he had more time to work. “When you’re an independent furniture

In addition to the auction, the NHFM put on house parties and created a yearly catalogue. The whole of New England has a rich furniture making culture, and makers joined from Vermont, Maine, Massachusetts and New York too. There were some measly efforts to create similar institutions in other neighboring states, but none stuck so well. “I think craft has always been a strong point with New Hampshire,” Lamb said. “We’re a small state. I know several past governors and representatives and commissioners, and you know, the business people. Everybody knows everybody else. We can make things happen quickly with-

For makers, the auction was a nerveracking experience — as Hartigan pointed out, most art auctions sell dead artists’ work. No hurt feelings to worry about. Here, the artists were there in the room. “The excitement right from the beginning hinged on whether the artist who was in the room was going to see their work validated,” Hartigan said. Luckily, Hartigan turned out to be right; it was a success and drew national attention, with articles in publications like the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and Traditional Homes. It put those 13 featured makers — now the New Hampshire Furniture Masters — in the limelight, and it got people talking. Never before had there been such a display of finished, exquisite furniture in New Hampshire. Best of all, forming the New Hampshire Furniture Masters meant these makers who hated promoting themselves didn’t have to worry about it as much. They became a collective with a name that imposed a “standard of excellence,” Hartigan said.

maker and working in your shop, you don’t have a lot of time to spend promoting yourself. If you do, you’re taking time away from the shop,” Thomas said. But in Hartigan’s opinion, the national success of the NHFM doesn’t just benefit its members. It made people realize that you can have someone make furniture by hand at a very high quality and at a price almost as good, if not better than that of the highest-end manufactured furniture. If you wanted something high-end, why wouldn’t you have it made by hand, and by a local hand especially? The best part: You could have someone make something tailored to your tastes and your home.

least the awareness of furniture makers in the mid- to late-1990s in New Hampshire, Jere Osgood of Wilton thinks the movement started before that, which in return, caused these makers to come together for that first meeting. In his opinion, the trade has slowed down a bit since then. Today there are around 30 NHFM members who pay a yearly fee and meet once a month in Concord. Women have joined in the past, but currently all are men. At the group’s start, the prerequisite was that you have been in business 10 years. It’s since become a more flexible standard. “Because we see some abilities, and it would be a shame for someone to have to wait five years if they’re already doing exceptional work,” Lamb said. “Primarily, this organization is a group of professionals. This is what we do full-time. This is our primary occupation. We don’t do anything else for our income. Some of us may have spouses that have their own job, which is fine, but we don’t have part-timers. We don’t have hobbyists.” To try to encourage younger people to join, years back the group employed an “emerging artists” category, which is how 32-year-old Greg Brown became a member. Getting juried in, he said, was kind of intimidating. He remembers sitting in a room with a piece of his furniture, getting grilled by members. In a follow-up meeting, they would vote whether to let him in or not. “It was really odd, being in the room,” Brown said. “I remember sitting next to Garrett Hack, really randomly, and the first woodworking book I ever read was written by him.”

shown the same enthusiasm about wood that she did; one of her first assignments at the Rochester Institute of Technology was to make a 3-foot board, two inches thick and 10 wide, completely flat and perpendicular, with her own two hands. “That’s the type of thing you could quite literally do with a planer, jointer and table saw. You could do that in 10 minutes. But the whole purpose of doing it by hand was to learn how to sharpen the tool, to learn the process of doing it by hand,” Woods said. “My program was very steeped in the tradition of, this is how you sharpen tools. This is how you use hand tools. I don’t know that our program was reluctant to incorporate contemporary technology so much as there was just a strong interest in maintaining that understanding of what makes handmade furniture so special.” It took her about five years to realize her students at Illinois State University, and then UNH, were different than those in her class at RIT. “By my fifth, sixth year I’d been teaching, I realized I hadn’t ever had a full group of students who really wanted to learn about woodworking on such a base level. They wanted to learn things, but they wanted to learn lots of different things,” Woods said. Perhaps it had to do with the fact she was teaching undergraduates, not graduates. Maybe they were turned off by the solitude of it. But there were other things she noticed, too — the way they sketched. Many strayed from scribbly drawings with pencil and paper and moved to creating on computers and tablets. Woods said the concern with that method was that sketching on a tablet can be too perfect, too concrete. Drawing with a pencil “opens you up to change,” not knowing where a drawing is going. “When I was in grad school, no one
The 79-year-old from Wilton was just awarded the Lotte Jacobi Living Treasure Award by the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts. Osgood has taught some of the state’s most well-known makers, like David Lamb and Garrett Hack, at Boston University, and while he doesn’t work as much as he used to, he doubts he’ll ever stop entirely. He turned off his surround sound classical music at his studio a couple of weeks ago to talk with the Hippo about the furniture making in New Hampshire. New Hampshire Furniture Masters’ start: I was one of six or seven of us. We were just after a collection of people to do good work. One of the requirements was you had to be producing or running a shop or business. There wasn’t anything terribly complicated about it. It more or less worked. It’s not easy, selling expensive furniture. Most people will tell you it’s word-of-mouth advertising. His style: In the good old days, I used to have two or three things going on. It’s an over-used phrase, but mine is just contemporary furniture. Retirement: Well, I have [thought about it] but can you imagine trying to sell all this stuff off here? It’s just not practical. And I’ll have to spend more time sitting in this chair as the years go by. … It’s part of my being. I can’t do anything else. … I expect to be working here in some manner until I can’t move. Trends: I don’t know. You’re probably more likely to know than I am. Using technology: I like the handwork that goes into a chair. … I’d rather keep myself 100 percent involved with it. … If you turn things over to the machine, it would sort of go against what we’ve been doing in [Furniture Masters]. To be successful: You have to be a good business person. If you can’t organize your shop, your business won’t last very long.

would even entertain the possibility of sketching on [a computer]. Of course you did it by hand. And you would draw because that was a fundamental part of the process. … I think, from Massachusetts to Virginia to Indiana to Arkansas, everybody’s kind of in this place where they’re feeling a little of it — slow student enrollment — and I think we’re all collectively trying to figure out how to market what it is that we do. How do we convey to young people that you can enter an art school, you can learn how to work with wood and build furniture, build sculpture — you can make things really well, but it takes a [lot] of time? It’s hard. That is so hard.”
Vivian Beer, a Manchester furniture artist, said there aren’t necessarily fewer people in the field — rather, the entire field is evolving. She calls these 21st-century artists “designer makers,” people in their 20s and 30s who merge craft and technology.

“I think we’re going through a huge change in our field,” Beer said. “A lot of that has to do with communication and digital technologies. … It’s different from the studio furniture movement, and the craftsman kind of thing. For that generation, the trend was to get a barn and move out in the woods and work by yourself. The designer maker crowd tends to be below 40, and they want people around. They want communal space, to be part of a group.” In New Hampshire, the emergence of makerspaces in places like Portsmouth (Port City Makerspace) and Nashua (MakeIt Labs) illustrates that idea. Brown works in a collective in Deerfield, and there are also furniture-making collectives and collaboratives in old mill buildings in Rollinsford and Portsmouth. These trends in furniture making are what Beer is seeing on a national scale. In her eyes, New Hampshire is still fairly traditional, but her “dream of dreams” is to start a cooperative in Manchester. It’s not impossible; the city’s inexpensive, far more so than Brooklyn or Boston, which Beer said is one of the most important aspects of creating a thriving arts community. “There aren’t that many ... folks like myself more into contemporary furniture making, and I would love to see that change,” Beer said. “I want to attract younger groups to the state. It’s very entrepreneurial, very friendly to small businesses.”
Neither Woods nor Beer is an NHFM member, having found more interest in styles, techniques and tools that stray from the traditional craft. Across the board — in classrooms, in furniture-making conferences, in furniture magazines and makerspaces — Woods is seeing more and more artists utilize things like 3D printers, laser printers and CNC scanners. The things you can do with tech-
The fear that more traditional artists have is that some of these modern tools can do a lot more than just the grunt work. “If the laser was programmed to — and there are lasers that can do this — excavate and carve, not just cut out the profile, I’d have a harder time with that,” Lamb said. Not being upfront about how the work is created is another concern. “I’m disturbed that someone looks at [a piece] and gets the impression that it’s handmade,” Blachly said. “I’m sure [technology] has possibilities and could result in some wonderful work, but it’s when people start using these things as shortcuts that I don’t like.” Woods said the fear is people will stop learning the basics of the craft, but she

can’t deny the exciting possibilities these tools offer. “I think maybe forever we’ll have that discrepancy of people who think that’s really authentic and who make everything by hand. You can go outside and cut something by hand, take it to a saw mill, let it air dry — you can go through all the steps yourself, and I think there are people who feel like, if you really want to capture the human spirit in something, that you have to make everything by hand,” Woods said. “But when I look at magazines, sometimes I see work being made and exhibiting in galleries and find there are some pretty creative things being done as a result of being able to use a CNC machine, a laser cutter, a 3D printer,” Woods said. Most interviewed said using technology in furniture making should be approached on a case-by-case basis. Beer, who utilizes 3D printing and the digital realm to design her work, thinks these options will only help the art. “I’m more using it like an incredibly amazing tape measure. Just because you can design it [digitally], doesn’t mean it’s easier to produce. It doesn’t mean it’s actually easy to fabricate. … I’m able to make things that are more complex than I’ve ever made before because I’m able to work through that design digitally. There’s still a lot of hand technique there,” Beer said. “It’s just another tool. … It’s not this mysterious object which is going to destroy art as we know it.” Her argument: If you’re not already a good furniture maker without the tools, you’re not going to be that much better with them. The best are those who understand both. “The hand-cut dovetail is never going to go away,” Beer said. “This whole thing we’re talking about is never going

nology have grown exponentially the past five years, and some of these tools could be regular elements in a woodworker’s vocabulary, in her opinion. But it’s a fine line — at what point does something go from handmade to machine-made? “It’s this slightly unclear, gray area I feel like we’re in, in terms of what constitutes craftsmanship,” Woods said. “I think the problem we’re in right now is that we’re in this period where things are a little unclear. It’s unclear what’s OK to use and what’s not OK to use. Almost all woodworkers I know would say it’s OK to use a bandsaw, planer, etc. I think the same group of woodworkers would be on the fence about whether that other stuff is OK or not.” This idea of technology taking over is certainly not new. It traces back to the Industrial Revolution, when bandsaws began wiping out small shops using handsaws. Lamb said he has no issue with using these technologies as “mules.” “You have to think about the process they’re doing. They’re helping remove waste material. So I can see how someone would argue that that’s just what a laser does. It’s cutting to the line you are prescribing to get removed anyway,” Lamb said. “If I ever had something like a laser or CNC or something like that, I would use it for a certain application. … I have a lot of machines in my shop, but they’re like mules to me. They do the grunt work, and then I come in.”

to affect Jon Brooks. He’s going to keep doing what he’s doing, and he’s going to be fine. The kind of work he’s doing is special — it’s the ultimate handcraft, going into the woods, finding trees and turning it into furniture. It’s very different from what I do, but nobody’s going to become extinct because of that. The more diversity we have, the better it’s going to be as a field.”

Being in the furniture trade today is hard. Most younger artists will say the technology is here to stay and needs to be embraced because the marketplace is so competitive. “I think that with enough time, you can do just about anything [with your hands]. Look at a suit of armor made in the Middle Ages. But it’s not physically or financially practical to do that by hand now,” Beer said. “There has to be this cross-section where things are made, made well, and made beautifully, but they also have to be possible to be in the marketplace or else you don’t get to do it. Speed is critical, actually, as far as being a professional.” Brown said he wouldn’t mind making simpler items — Shaker-styled tables, for instance — but it’s hard to do because people have found a way to make those pieces quickly while keeping prices low through high-tech machinery. With his business model, it makes more sense to create unique pieces. He might use things like a CNC scanner to take away the grunt work, but he’ll always let clients know exactly how something’s made. “I’m in a very specialized market, and because I paid for school, I’m trying to keep my overhead low,” Brown said. “It’s big for me to educate the clients as well as work with them so they know exactly what they’re getting when I walk into the door with their piece. It’s happened to me on
occasions that they don’t want the computer touching the thing at all.” Thomas said he’s not fearful these tools will take away from the craft, just like photographs didn’t destroy fine art. People will pay extra, knowing something was made by hand, and knowing it’s one of a kind.
To create furniture, you need patience. Attention to detail. Taste. “But it’s not just a technical thing. I mean, the technicality is a huge part of it, but it’s about the aesthetic. It’s understanding nature and form and balance,” Lamb said. To be a furniture maker is hard. It requires long days, sometimes boring days, doing the same thing over and over again, and also business know-how. But New Hampshire makers wouldn’t have it any other way. Said Beer, “People love to make things. It’s an essential need. And people love having objects in their life that have a certain story and empathy to them.” Brown said he likes the idea of leaving something behind. “The fact that you’re producing something tangible at the end of the day, really, was satisfying,” he said. “One of the reasons I think it’s really valuable to make furniture with your hands as opposed to just designing online and sending it somewhere to have it made is, there are things you can learn about yourself that are really important, aspects just about what it means to be a human being, what it means to be self-sufficient, what it means to be competent,” Woods said. “I think there are people who feel like, if you really want to capture the human spirit in something, that you have to make everything by hand. … If there’s a person behind it, there’s humanity behind it. There’s a spirit, an energy, a love, sweat and tears, and all that kind of stuff.”

ARTS Voices of the (603) turns 6 New judging system to encourage camaraderie By Kelly Sennott ksennott@hippopress.com While the overall recipe for the nowannual Voices of the (603) workshop and concert is relatively the same, event founder Jamie Saucier has incorporated a few changes to spice things up. The event, now in its sixth year, happens Friday, Oct. 9, and includes an all-day workshop for high school a cappella students at UNH Manchester followed by a concert and competition later that night at the Capitol Center for the Arts. As you’ll know if you’ve seen TV shows and movies like Glee or Pitch Perfect, a cappella means singers get no instrumental accompaniment. Not that it sounds that way — listeners will think they hear instruments, but everything’s created with voice. Saucier recruits participants by sending out letters and a group song arrangement to all 159 New Hampshire middle and high schools listed on the New Hampshire Department of Education website before summer break, inviting them to send students to show off their stuff and learn more. Saucier won’t have the final count of schools participating until the week before the event — this flexibility, he hopes, enables more to participate.

concert, the day-long event acts as an educational tool and encourages the art form among young singers, one reason organizers decided to alter the judging structure this year. Instead of ranking schools first to worst, judges Saucier, Jola Leary, Briana Nelson and Amy Markoff Johnson will critique singers’ performances and give participating schools — which right now include Kennett High School, Pinkerton Academy, Prospect Mountain High School, ConVal Regional High School and Manchester West High School — a score and an award of gold, silver or bronze. “The judges will take into account, what is this group’s potential? How difficult was

this group’s song? Is this a good representation of what they can do?” Saucier said. “It’s really meant for the teachers to have another tool to take back into their classroom. … It’s more constructive criticism for them, and that’s what teachers need — reinforcement in what [students] are learning in the classroom already.” This change is meant to encourage camaraderie and a cappella growth in New Hampshire, which wasn’t happening as much as Saucier would have liked in the old system. “During the day, groups are 100-percent supporting each other. Put in a contest, they’re not best friends anymore. We decided we didn’t need that. We want

encouragement to be solid,” Saucier said. “And ranking them, that doesn’t help them educationally. That doesn’t help them move on as an ensemble.” Many schools have been waiting all year for this concert, Saucier said, deciding sometimes even before September what to perform come October. UNH’s new location in the Pandora Building means there’s more space to work with during the workshops, which include rehearsals for the group medley of “Shut Up and Dance With Me” and “Geronimo.” They’re bused over to Concord at 3 p.m., start warm-ups and microphone checks at 4 p.m., and sit in the balcony to watch one another’s and special guests’ performances. “It’s nice to get up in front of audiences, especially appreciative audiences, for them to clap and know what it’s like to get up onstage,” Saucier said. Other performers include On Air, a Granite Statesmen barbershop quartet; Milling Around, the UNH Manchester resident a cappella group; the Rhythm of New Hampshire Show Chorus; and, returning featured guest artists from last year’s concert, Ball in the House, who also took part in the day’s workshops in Manchester. “They signed up that very day to do it again next year,” Saucier said. “I think it’s nice to have choir people impressed with what you do. The students were totally respectful and they recognize talent when they see it. [At the concert] they debuted ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ and nailed it. They were able to do all the different sounds. They received a standing ovation in the middle of their set for it.”

A baby? Breathe. A baby? I was just thinking. Lungs is a play about a conversation between a man and a woman that tackles many things, but mostly whether or not to have a child. Opening theatre KAPOW’s eighth season, it addresses this year’s theme — “breathe” — in its very first lines. “‘Breathe’ is a pretty heavy theme of the play. ‘Take a breath.’ ‘Think.’ It’s written in this very frantic way, but it works well for what we’re exploring,” said company co-founder and show director Matt Cahoon during a play rehearsal in Derry last week. He and actors Gina Carballo and Colby Morgan were moving through the script at the Black Box Theatre at Pinkerton in preparation for the Derry Opera House premiere, with showtimes Saturday, Oct. 2, through Sunday, Oct. 4. They wore casual clothes and, while they talked, sat within the confines of an 8-foot by 10-foot blue and white rug from HomeGoods. The play, written by British playwright Duncan Macmillan in 2011, is one act, 90 minutes and features just two actors. Everything about it is minimal; there are no fancy lights, props or costumes, and the only set piece is the rug. Though there are hints the play occurs in the future, there’s no set time period or place either. Even the characters’ names are minimal — they’re called M (Morgan) and W (Carballo). “The playwright is pretty explicit,” Cahoon said. “It’s written to be performed on a bare stage. There’s no scenery, no props, no furniture, no mime, no costume changes. Light and sound should not be used to indicate a time or place. Gina’s costume will look very much like what she’s wearing. Colby’s costume will look very much like what he’s wearing.” Another one of Macmillan’s orders: put the audience in a vulnerable position where they feel like they’re part of the conversation. Theatre KAPOW is putting them on the Derry Opera House stage, in very close proximity to the actors.

“So there’s no pressure,” Carballo joked. Added Cahoon, “There’s nothing to distract the audience, so it’s tricky. … I would say, typically a KAPOW show is five or fewer actors. We’ve never done anything this minimal. But most important of what makes a KAPOW show is really good storytelling, and this play is just so beautifully written.” The intention of this minimalism, in Cahoon’s opinion: these two could be anybody. “While this is a hyper-contemporary or futuristic play, you can imagine this conversation happening 50 years ago just as easily as 50 years from now,” Cahoon said. It brings up questions like, what does it mean to have a child? Who’s going to do what? What are the responsibilities? How can you have children and still do what you want to do outside of parenthood? And what does parenthood mean on a global scale? “They’re a 30-something couple; they’re educated, and they’re super-neurotic people, very concerned about their future and what it means to bring a child into the world they’re living in,” Carballo said. Carballo and Morgan think the play’s so attractive because, they say, it’s so real. When they read through it the first time together in early September, they were struck many times by the content and conversations. “Even if you’re not a millennial who’s thinking about having a child — I’ve had a number of these conversations in the relationships in my life,” Morgan said. “I related more to the content in this play … than any other play I’ve read in my entire life. … It’s just sort of full of the things we go through on a daily basis within a twoperson relationship. If you see the play, I think you won’t necessarily feel like you’re watching a play — more like you’re watching a conversation.”

• Sculpture mania: There are lots of sculptural happenings this weekend. The Andres Institute of Art has its Sculpture Symposium grand finale, a sculptural reveal, on Saturday, Oct. 3, from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Institute. Visitors should meet at Big Bear Lodge, 106 Route 13, Brookline, and will see the sculptures that three visiting artists — Gemma Dominguez Guerra of Spain, Klaus Friedrich Hunsicker of Germany and Kevin Duffy of Massachusetts — have been spending the past several weeks working on. The theme for the symposium, now in its 17th year, was “Perseverance.” Their pieces will decorate the sculpture park (93 Route 13, Brookline, andresinstitute.org), which contains more than 80 pieces of art spread along 140 acres of natural woodland, accessible via hiking trails open 24/7, all year long. Then on Sunday, Oct. 4, the neighborhoods of South Nashua hold a celebration and dedication for the sculpture “Mother and Child” by Zimbabwe sculptress Ennica Mukomberanwa, which she created in May as part of the 8th Annual Nashua International Sculpture Symposium under the theme “Reflections on the River.” The sculpture is located on Spit Brook Road at the trailhead in Roby Park, and there’s a formal dedication at 1 p.m. followed by a family-friendly celebration until 4 p.m., which will include entertainment, games, activities, guided trail walks and food.

She’d later return to Katrina, thinking she’d spend a month or two more there, only to find herself in Louisiana two more years, delivering things like beds, kitchen appliances, hot water heaters, washers and dryers to locals, and forming a nonprofit called Mississippi Home Again. You can see the images of Katrina at the Hancock Town Library (25 Main St., Hancock, hancocknh.org) from Oct. 3 through Nov. 12. • Last of the season: You have one last chance to catch the Concord Arts Market before the end of the season.

Anyone who has tried walking in high heels knows it can be a challenge, especially if you aren’t used to it. On Wednesday, Oct. 7, at White Park in Concord, dozens of men will take on that challenge for the Crisis Center of Central New Hampshire’s second annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event. These walks, held worldwide, invite men to stand up for victims of domestic and sexual violence by walking one mile in women’s high-heeled shoes. “[Domestic and sexual violence] is a solemn, serious issue, and people don’t like to talk about it,” Jessica Fogg Livingston, event coordinator, said. “[The walk] is about putting yourself in the shoes of the victims and trying to understand what victims go through, but it has a lighthearted spin on it to get people talking about [the issue].” The event will begin at 4:30 p.m. with check-in and onsite registration, followed by an opening ceremony at 5:15 p.m., with remarks from the Crisis Center executive director and a domestic violence survivor. The walk

— about one mile around the park — will launch at 5:30 p.m., and the awards ceremony will be held at 6:30 p.m. There will also be team photos at that time, and food available for purchase. Everyone is welcome to participate in the walk, not just men, but the focus is on educating men about domestic and sexual violence and giving them an opportunity to show their support for an issue that affects primarily women. “Watching these big guys in heels, it’s like watching a bunch of giraffes trying to walk around; you can tell it’s very uncomfortable for them,” Jodi Naughton, event co-chair, said. “But it’s exciting to see men put themselves in that position of vulnerability to say, ‘Hey, we need to recognize what [the victims] are going through, even if it’s something difficult for us to understand.’” Participating men will need to pur-
which raised nearly $2,000 last year. “Concord Police Officer Dana Dexter had some outrageous shoes last year,” Fogg Livingston said. “This year, he’s keeping his shoes a secret until right before the event because, he says, ‘The more that people donate, the higher my shoes will be.’” The funds raised from Walk a Mile in Her Shoes will benefit the programs and operations of the Crisis Center, but Naughton said that raising awareness about domestic and sexual violence is just as beneficial as the funds, if not more so. “Victims need help, so we need the fundraising,” she said, “but if instead of just responding [to violence] we work to prevent it in the first place, that will cut our need for funds because we won’t have any victims. … It’s about changing the culture we live in.”

chase their own high heels prior to the event. An award will be given for Best Shoes, so some men choose to get creative and decorate their shoes. While high heels are the event’s trademark, walkers aren’t required to wear them. Those walking in regular shoes can still show their support by wearing purple, the Domestic Violence Awareness color. In the spirit of the walk, Euphoria Hair & Body Salon in Concord is offering $10 purple hair extensions, with proceeds benefiting the Crisis Center, from now until the day of the event. Many other local businesses and community organizations are taking part as well. The New Hampshire State Police and Concord Fire Department teams will be returning for their second year in heels, as well as the famous Concord Police Department team, Pumps on Patrol,

Many people believe that fermented foods, like sauerkraut, yogurt and sourdough bread, for example, are better for you than other foods. For thousands of years people have fermented foods as way to preserve them, and scientists today note that fermenting foods can increase their content of vitamin C, thiamine and niacin, among other nutrients. Fermented vegetables help to promote a healthy gut and introduce beneficial bacteria into our bodies. And fermenting food is another way of preserving it for winter use. We live in a society that minimizes contact with bacteria. Hand sanitizer is big business. Now probiotics (microorganisms introduced into the body for their beneficial qualities) are being sold and promoted in “live” yogurt and other probiotic preparations. But you can use your garden produce to make easy, tasty fermented foods that do much the same. I recently met with a passionate food “fermentista,” Leslie Silver of Middletown Springs, Vermont, and spent an afternoon making sauerkraut and other fermented foods. It’s easy. Leslie also told me about the third annual Vermont Fermentation Festival on Saturday, Oct. 3, at Green Mountain College in Poultney, Vermont. For $10 you can have a full day of learning! Leslie explained that raw cabbage has naturally occurring bacteria that will ferment the sugars in the leaves without any introduction of bacteria on our part (most fresh fruits and vegetables have good bacteria, too). All we have to do is chop or finely slice the cabbage and add a teaspoon of salt for each pound of cabbage. The salt draws out the water and creates a brine. If you knead the salted cabbage like bread dough, soon there will be lots of liquid. We packed chopped cabbage and other vegetables into wide-mouth quart jars and pressed out the air, allowing brine to cover the mix. Left open at room temperature the cabbage ferments and creates lactic acid and carbon dioxide that bubbles along, showing me that my sauerkraut is “working.” This kind of fermenting is called lacto-fermentation. (The lacto refers to lactic acid, not anything to do with milk). Eventually the lactic acid brings the pH down to about 4.0, which stops the fermentation and prevents other, harmful bacteria from affecting the food. Those same bacteria that cure the sauerkraut are beneficial to our gut. If you want to learn how to make sauerkraut and other fermented veggies, I recommend working with an expert to really get first-hand knowledge of how to do it.

We made four different recipes in four hours including three kinds of sauerkraut and a corn relish. All are delicious. As an author (and a person of a certain age) I like to have a book in hand when learning a new skill. Leslie recommended Fermented Vegetables: Creative Recipes for Fermenting 64 Kinds of Vegetables in Krauts, Kimchis, Brined Pickles, Chutneys, Relishes & Pastes by Kirsten and Christopher Shockey, published by Storey Publishing. I got it, and like it. It has lots of good color photos and nice recipes. It explains the process well, without being overly technical. The other book I got was a New York Times bestseller by Sandor Katz called The Art of Fermentation: An In-Depth Exploration of Essential Concepts and Processes from Around the World, published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This is also a great resource with information not only about fermenting vegetables, but also fruits, grains, milk, beans, meat and more. It has a glowing introduction from food writer Michael Pollan,. The book is nearly 500 pages long, and seems to cover all aspects of fermenting, including lots of technical stuff. Materials for fermenting veggies are minimal: You need a large bowl, containers and large sharp knife. Leslie also had a kraut board with three sharp blades. Run a cabbage across it and the shredded cabbage falls into the bowl. We made small batches and put our krauts in wide-mouth glass jars. But, having fallen in love with specialty sauerkrauts, I have ordered from Gardeners Supply Company a 1.3-gallon Fermentation Crock kit, complete with lid and weights to keep the veggies in the brine (they tend to rise). I have old crocks, but this one has a water seal that allows the carbon dioxide to get out while keeping extraneous bacteria and yeasts out. For about $80, it seems like a good investment. My krauts are tastier than any I’d ever had. In one I added fresh ginger, another has fennel seeds. It’s a good way to use kohlrabi, carrots, celeriac, too. I’ll be making more later this fall, once I get my new crock. Henry is the author of four gardening books. His website is Gardening-Guy.com.

Hi Nancy, That is a very sweet curio cabinet. It’s tough to tell the real age from a photo, but it could very well be from that period of time. Where it was manufactured would also be tough to tell. Having been bought in New York doesn’t mean it was made there. Look underneath the piece to see if there might be a manufacturer’s name that could give us more information and make it easier to date it. It could also be under the velvet. If it is from that period of time, it’s just as good as if it were made later so unless the manufacturer is a renowned one then I think you will be safe with my appraisal. The cabinet looks to be gold gild painted. This is when they used real gold in the thinnest of sheets (leafs) or powder and applied it like a final finish. Items made in earlier times were done with this procedure all by hand and feathers. Common items still found today would be frames that have plaster ornamentals covered with the gilt.

but who knows? And if you drive 20,000 miles a year for 10 years, and put 200,000 miles on a car before you trade it in, you could conceivably need a battery toward the end. If you’re truly unlucky, you also could need an inverter someday, which is even more expensive. But that’s more rare. So with all that in mind, now let’s do the math on the fuel savings. Let’s say the difference in cost between the standard Highlander and the Highlander Hybrid is about $5,000. And let’s say you drive 20,000 miles a year for 10 years. The EPA says the regular allwheel-drive Highlander gets an average of 20 mpg, and the hybrid gets 28 overall. So, if we assume a gasoline price of $3.50 a gallon for the next 10 years, the Highlander would cost you $35,000 in gas. The hybrid would cost you $25,000. So you’d save enough to cover the cost of the hybrid power train, and a battery if you need one. And you’d get more dates. You’d also get an additional 100 miles in range on each tank before having to stop for gas. So, it’s up to you, Ken. A lot of people don’t drive enough, or keep a car long enough to recoup the money spent on a hybrid. You can plug in your own annual mileage and your guess about gas prices, and

Dear Car Talk: Is it harmful to start the car if the air conditioner, radio, etc., have been left in the “on” position? — Stanley Yes, that’s why at the shop, we recommend to all of our customers that they leave their cars idling from May through September. Actually, no. It’s not harmful at all, Stanley. For two reasons. First, cars automatically shut off auxiliary power while the car is cranking. So when you turn the key to crank the engine and start the car, the AC, the radio and virtually every other electrical device is shut off anyway. That allows the maximum amount of current to be directed from the battery to the starter motor, where it’s needed. Once the car starts, power is restored to the accessories, and they pick up wherever they left off. The second reason it’s not a problem is because it doesn’t matter when you turn them on — you’re still turning them on. They’re designed to be turned on suddenly, whether it’s when you start the car, or when you flip their on-off switch. So don’t worry. Visit Cartalk.com.

...but the fact of the matter is it’s really [about] conversing with everybody,” Croswell said. “It’s more about community; that is a very unique part of our business.”
By Allie Ginwala
Oktoberfest at home
While a large festival full of people is typically associated with the fall event, key components can be replicated on a much smaller scale right in your home — like getting together with friends and family, listening to German music, and of course lots of eating and drinking. According to Judi Heer of German John’s Bakery in Hillsborough, a number of Oktoberfest traditions done in Germany have not translated to American celebrations. “They make fried herring sandwiches and spiraled radishes,” Heer said in a phone interview. “The salty things, the fried herring and radish, is intended to help you with your alcohol consumption.” While most American Oktoberfests will have soft pretzels, to bring more authenticity to the party Heer recommends a menu complete with grilled chicken, pickles, German potato salad, red cabbage and sauerkraut. “German sauerkraut is a side dish and not a topping so it gets cooked a long time with apples and seasonings,” she said. “That’s something that we serve, but it’s pretty easy to make yourself.” Another popular item that translates well to make at home is bratwurst — but make sure to serve it on a hard roll. “Not on a hot dog roll. That’s a disgrace,” Heer said. “Knockwurst, that’s another sausage you can throw on the grill.” 38
Out for Oktoberfest
If you’re looking to embrace the festival in a lively group atmosphere, check out Oktoberfest at Anheuser-Busch. “This is actually our first Oktoberfest that we are holding here. Anheuser-Busch in Merrimack is going to bring Munich to Merrimack,” Carla Reardon, assistant tour supervisor at Anheuser-Busch in Merrimack, said in a phone interview. Guests are invited to enjoy Spaten Oktoberfest and Franziskaner beers, bratwurst, Bavarian pretzels, gingerbread cookies, live music and Oktoberfest games like barrel racing and a stein relay. “Our brewmaster and the chair of the Merrimack town council … will tap the first ceremonial keg,” Reardon said. “We’re excited to bring guests together to learn about our beers and see our property and take an opportunity to celebrate Oktoberfest.” Another way to celebrate the beer experience of the annual autumn event is by brewing your own at IncrediBREW’s Oktoberfest, taking place over two nights this year. “[Guests] show up and we will have six different beers,” owner Erik Croswell said in

a phone interview. The beer lineup includes Oktoberfest, My Favorite Marzen, Oom-pah Pilsner, HefeWeizen, Dunkelweizen and Rogg-n-Roll, giving a variety from lighter to darker beers. “When everyone gets there they break up into teams and those teams are responsible for brewing their batch of beer,” he said. “Folks will come in and brew all six of those beers and come back two weeks later and bottle it up and get a variety of each.” Since the brewing process has certain time gaps (like waiting half an hour for something to boil), guests can alternate between brewing and sampling goods from German John’s Bakery. “There is some music we try to put in there Celebrate Oktoberfests around the state

36 As far as a dessert, go for something with apples, like a strudel. Since no Oktoberfest is complete without a good selection of beer, curate your own variety by visiting a beer store with plenty of local, national and international brews. “Right now we’re in the Oktoberfest or pumpkin season,” Barbara Lambert, owner of Barb’s Beer Emporium in Concord, said in a phone interview. “Right now we have Harpoon Oktoberfest, Brooklyn Oktoberfest, we’re getting Left Hand Oktoberfest.” She said they also carry Paulaner and Hacker-Pschorr beers, both of which are
from Munich. Typically, Lambert said, the types of beer to look for this time of year are either pumpkin beers or märzen, an amber-colored, malty, full-bodied German-style beer that Lambert said really encapsulates what an Oktoberfest brew should be. “The ones we seem to be really selling is the Paulaner or the Hofbräu, which are German, definitely German-style beers,” she said. For those who want to imbibe something other than beer, Lambert suggested a hard cider like McKenzie’s or Harpoon, both of which make a pumpkin variety.

Whether you’re a millennial foodie looking to eat and share with your Instagram followers or a local who’s always wanted to check out some of Boston’s food trucks, you’ll find what you’re looking for at Redhook Brewery, host of the New Hampshire Food Truck Festival, on Sunday, Oct. 4. Janet Prensky, spokesperson for Food Truck Festivals of America, the organization producing the New Hampshire Food Truck Festival, said she and her business partner held their first festival in 2011 before food trucks became trendy. “[We] were charged on behalf of a client to come up with a new idea [for] an event,” Prensky said in a phone interview. “So we searched and searched and found eight food trucks in New England.” They expected 1,000 people; 4,000 showed up, and they realized they were on to something. Now drawing from a list of 500 food trucks, Food Truck Festivals of America brings around 20 trucks to different communities — particularly those that don’t have a vibrant food truck culture yet — to give people the chance to try a variety of cuisines. Returning for the second time to Redhook Brewery in Portsmouth, Prensky said the idea to hold a festival in New Hampshire stemmed from the food scene that’s already present in the state. “There is a food culture in New Hampshire, and Portsmouth we already felt had a hotbed for understanding of great food and a true foodie’s culture,” she said. “Our goal is to be in every New England state and we wanted to make sure New Hampshire was on our list.” Due to the overwhelming response during last year’s festival, this year’s event will have 10 additional trucks, bumping the number to about 25. “We were packed last year, and we have
increased the number of trucks ... to make sure that everybody has a great time, gets to eat and doesn’t stand on line for too long,” Prensky said. Food trucks making the trip to Portsmouth include New Hampshire-based Clyde’s Cupcakes, Gabi’s Smoke Shack, Northeast Pie Company and Munchiez Food Truck at SNHU along with out-ofstaters like Cookie Monstah, Jamaica Mi Hungry, Meanie Panini and The Pasta Pot. “We try to honor the local community we’re in [so] if it’s a New Hampshire festival and we have four trucks from New Hampshire, they are going to be in for sure,” Prensky said. After that, the idea is to divvy it up so there aren’t many repeats (think a mix of seafood, barbecue, burgers and tacos) plus a marquee Boston food truck that’s widely known, like Roxy’s Grilled Cheese. Anthony Martino, owner of Gabi’s Smoke Shack, loves the atmosphere of a food truck festival because the focus is all on the food. He’ll return to Portsmouth after partaking in last year’s festival. “Unlike if you go to the Deerfield Fair or Rochester Fair or even Topsfield, there’s no carnival rides — people come there for the food,” he said in a phone interview. “It’s just one of those things where they come to eat.” When it comes to planning his menu for the New Hampshire Food Truck Festival, Martino said he tries to come up with foods that are fairly portable, like the pulled pork tacos that were popular last year. “For $8 people get two tacos … it makes it easy for people to share because it’s a soft tortilla type taco, more like fair food, [good for] walking around and eating,” he said. Other items that may make it onto the menu are beef brisket chili, Frito pie (Fritos corn chips with chili and cheese), Texas hot links (spicy beef sausage) and smoked chicken wings. Another aspect Martino appreciates about food truck festivals is the chance to interact with other owners and come 40

Tuned in to apples Festival and concert return to Hollis By Allie Ginwala
aginwala@hippopress.com
Savor homemade apple baked goods while listening to the Hollis Town Band play live outdoors during the Hollis Apple Festival & Band Concert on Sunday, Oct. 4. Diana Kroeger, apple festival chair, said it’s a chance to “celebrate Hollis and apple season.” Founded by the Hollis Town Band, the annual event was originally based on an afternoon of music. Kroeger said the festival was growing in size, and the Hollis Woman’s Club agreed to partner with the band and provide food. A couple of days before the festival, the woman’s club members will gather to turn piles of apples into 50 9-by-13 pans of apple crisp. “The woman’s club … we pretty much compartmentalize the ingredients for the apple crisp and all our members have to do is bake them and deliver them to the [Congregational Church of Hollis] church on the day of the festival,” Kroeger said. “We have so many people working behind the scenes and the beauty of the festival [is it] looks effortless, but there [are] many hours spent.” The apples for the festival are provided by a farm in Harvard, Mass., who also peels, cores and slices them before delivering them to Brookdale Fruit Farm in Hollis for the Hollis Apple Festival & Band Concert

will come and check it out and be willing to try different things maybe outside their comfort zone.” To get the most out of the day, Prensky recommends purchasing small items from multiple trucks in order to sample all sorts of food. Each truck was asked to prepare a truncated menu with small, medium and large items ranging from $2 up to perhaps $10. “And that way you can go from truck to truck and experience the festival without getting too full,” she said. Guests can bring blankets and chairs to make it a picnic on the grounds of Redhook Brewery. Redhook will have beer available at stations throughout the festival. Other activities include live music and face-painting for the kids.
When: Sunday, Oct. 4, from 2 to 4 p.m. Where: Hollis Town Common, 7 Monument Square, Hollis Admission is free. Purchase food per item. Held in Hollis Brookline Middle School (off of the town common) in case of rain. Visit: holliswomansclub.org/events/ hollis-apple-festival-2015/
women to pick up. Meanwhile, each of the town band members will bring two homemade apple pies for guests to enjoy. Apple pies and crisps are “the staples of the apple festival,” Kroeger said. When Kroeger and her family moved to Hollis 13 years ago, the annual autumn event was the first town festival they attended. “We didn’t know what to expect,” she said. “It was so charming and quaint just with the atmosphere of the Town Common pulling everyone together to celebrate everything that’s good about Hollis and we really appreciate that.” Admission to the festival and concert is free and guests can purchase apple pie, apple crisp, Doc Davis ice cream, apple cider, coffee and water. The band will perform marches, symphonic pieces and popular music while vendors display their wares. Other games and activities like face-painting will be offered, plus a raffle for the chance to conduct the band in “Stars and Stripes Forever.” “We are a nonprofit that really strives to give back to the community,” Kroeger said. “We just look at the festival as being one of our best ways to increase our coffers in order to be able to give back to the community.”

Since Funktion Spirits & Spoonfuls (931 Elm St., Manchester, 782-5365, find them on Facebook) opened in early September, executive chef and general manager Tracey Couture-Fitts has divided her days between opening and prepping the kitchen and working with the front-of-the-house staff while interacting with guests. Encouraged by the feedback from diners who love Funktion’s unique menu of buffalo tofu, ahi crisps and pulled pork small plates, she’s happy that the goal of providing a cool atmosphere with a fun vibe has appealed to a diverse crowd in downtown Manchester. What is your must-have kitchen item? For me personally, obviously my chef’s knife. One of the first things I was taught in culinary school … was learn how to do everything with an 8-inch chef’s knife and then get into your fancy tools and everything else that you need. ... Once you have those skills, then you can move on. That’s how I was taught, very old-school. But as far as for Funktion and for the restaurant, it’s my team.

What is the biggest food trend in New Hampshire right now? You know, we’ve done the whole farmto-table thing for years now, or more appropriately labelled locally sourced, which I think is more what people are doing. ... I would love to see more restaurants care about what’s going into the products they’re buying, like clean food, naturally produced food. I think chefs and restaurants are becoming more conscious of that. I just hear more people talking about it. And I think that comes on the heels of the farm-to-table or the locally sourced [movement] and I think those are the first big steps and I think we’re getting closer and closer.
What would you choose for your last meal? My mother, who’s passed away now, was an amazing baker, and she used to always make this blueberry crumble, which I’ve tried for years to replicate and I never could. She used to make it every Christmas morning and it was just this thing that she loved to do, and that would definitely be What is your favorite meal to cook at my last meal — a nice big pan of that. home?

have an adventurous palate. Regardless of the cheeses, fruits, veggies or meats you opt for, one of the best things about grilled cheese is how pantry-friendly it is. Nearly anything in your pantry works well on a grilled cheese. For example, for this garlic grilled cheese I used store-bought garlic bread that was just on the verge of becoming stale. I’ll admit this is the simplest recipe I’ve featured in a long time, but it’s also one of my favorites. I prefer a classic grilled cheese over almost all other sandwiches, but this garlic version is only a bit of a twist on the classic. Taking the garlic bread, I chose to make the sandwich seasoned-side out. I sliced the bread and layered maple-glazed ham and provolone cheese in the middle. The simple fillings and mild flavors were the perfect complement to the butter, garlic and herbs from the premade bread. A version of this recipe appears on the Food Network’s list, but instead of using frozen garlic bread, which would work just as well once prepared, I saved some time and used the garlic bread found in the bakery. Cooking the sandwich with the garlic side out really enhanced the flavor of the bread, and the crispy, perfectly crunchy crust was delicious dipped in a bowl of soup. — Lauren Mifsud

Sometimes the simplest foods can be the most delicious. I’ve loved the combination of a soup and sandwich for as long as I can remember. In fact, when I was about 6, I remember my dad changing the words to “Love and Marriage,” made famous by Frank Sinatra in the late 1950s, to “soup and sandwich” every time I’d eat the simple fare. Today, soups and sandwiches can be as fancy or fanciful as you can imagine, but I’m still a sucker for the classics. I’m a firm believer that grilled cheese is the ultimate sandwich to pair with any soup. On the first fall-like day we had last week, I rushed home from work to make Italian wedding soup. I knew that wasn’t going to be enough to feed the family and our expected houseguests, so I figured I’d throw together an equally simple sandwich as a side. The number of grilled cheese recipes featured online is unbelievable. The Food Network alone has a comprehensive list of more than 50. Plus, it seems nearly every food blogger and food magazine have featured some list of great grilled cheeses in the past year or two. The combinations — from Canadian bacon and provolone to spicy pickled jalapeno and Monterey jack — range from the mouthwatering to the fear-inducing if you don’t

Gilmanton Winery in Gilmanton is owned and operated by Marshall and Sunny Bishop on the same property as their alpaca farm. They offer grape and other fruit wines including blueberry, peach, strawberry and my favorite, the green apple Riesling. Sap House Meadery is in Center Ossipee and is worth the trip. Here, Ash and Matt create meads, which is wine made from honey. Their regular offerings include Sugar Maple, Hopped Blueberry Maple, Vanilla Bean and Ossipioja. Their meads are perfect for the fall because they can be enjoyed at room temperature or mulled. I like their vanilla bean most. Hermit Woods Winery in Meredith offers wines and meads made from local fruit and raw honey. Co-owners Bob, Chuck and Ken began their winery out of Bob’s house in Sanbornton but quickly outgrew the space, renovating a building in downtown Meredith into their beautiful winery. Ken is the head winemaker and comes up with some of the most unique wines I have ever tried, yet the results are overwhelmingly delicious. Most recently, they began offering a variety of sparkling wines. I cannot wait to try them! The event runs from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. both days. With only four wineries participating this year, it is very likely that you could visit all of them in one day and fill your event passport to be eligible for your prizes.guest’s More information, Knock socks off maps Knock your guest’s socks off and addresses are available online at hermitwith Tidewater Catering Group, with Tidewater Catering Group, woods.com/events/barrel-tasting.

The arrival of fall means my favorite wine event — the Lakes Region Barrel Tasting, happening Saturday, Oct. 3, and Sunday, Oct. 4. Now in its fifth year, Lakes Region Barrel Tasting gives guests an opportunity to taste wine directly from the barrel, take tours of the wineries and learn more about the winemaking process by interacting with winemakers. In years past, we have seen wine in different stages, tasted red wines before they have aged and had the opportunity to taste a variety of other wines as well. All you need to do is visit the participating wineries. At your first stop, purchase an event glass for $12 and bring it with you to the rest of the locations. Guests who visit all the wineries have the chance to win raffle prizes (which honestly is just a bonus, because the event itself is so much fun, even if you don’t win anything). Plan to bring a couple bottles of wine home with you too; there’s a good chance you may taste something you like and want to enjoy at a later date. What makes the event unique is the opportunity to taste young wines before they have fully aged and hear more about the winemaking process. I have attended this event almost every year with friends and family and they too have enjoyed the experience. Even when the weather hasn’t been ideal, attendees could be seen having fun. This year, four wineries are participating: Coffin Cellars, Gilmanton Winery, Sap House Meadery and Hermit Woods Winery. Here’s a snapshot of each winery. The Austin family opened Coffin Cellars out of their family farm in Webster in 2009, offering wines made from fruit and berries. Many of their products are sourced locally or come from their own property. They recently renovated a barn on the property into a beautiful tasting room. They were just putting finishing touches on it last year; I am looking forward to visiting this year. They offer a variety of wines including blackberry, blueberry, black currant, cranberry pomegranate and my personal favorite, lime. Visit the winery for current offerings.

This is OK, a different approach to controlled sonic fury than what you might have been anticipating from this previously math-gone-funk team from Britain. When I saw all the grousing in the blogs about how Foals had gone pop, it was kind of hard to picture, but sure, anyone can screw up anything, even with Mumfords producer James Ford running the boards. But no, I can’t concur with people who think the tunes are overworked or boring, but sure, poppy a little, if you insist. “Mountain at the Gates” might be questionable, I could see that, given the bloopy Modest Mouse guitar approach, but singer Yannis Philippakis does start to go mental after a while, lighting up his vocal tires in the increasingly fuzzy din. The title track is the baddest on board, crashing around with a no-wave edge to its heaviness — no, this isn’t so much pop as a solid collection of not-terribly-far-from-aggro statements that’d fit in between your Kasabian and Kings of Leon albums.

Prior to this five-songer, this trio (Outkast’s Big Boi and the boy-girl Phantogram pair) had already collaborated on a couple of tracks when Phantogram guested on Big’s Vicious Lies LP. But an extended hang-out session in L.A. helped the rapper see the real potential in recording an actual meeting of their minds instead of simply capitalizing on Phantogram’s beats and employing singer Sarah Barthel as a moll du jour. If you’re not familiar with Phantogram, you actually are, what with all the occasions when their spaghetti-indie Portishead-for-dummies “When I’m Small” single backgrounded whatever-odd corporate-media offering. Those two aren’t geniuses — a mopey, cut-rate Zero 7 at best — but yeah, sure, let’s see what happens when you add a real rapper (Barthel tries it herself on “Goldmine Junkie” with okay results). “Run For Your Life” opens the set with glitchy, woody chill, a nice effect that paints Big Boi as a rough-edged Tricky, that is until things get a little more animated (and pedestrian). “Lights Out” doesn’t fare as well, coming across as Evanescence trying to be weird, while the soul-ish “Fell In the Sun” is like Outkast trying to be weird. This is all timely for pop, yes (Skrillex and Run the Jewels guest here, mainly to drive home the fact that This Is Important), but equally unnecessary. B- — Eric W. Saeger
• Gack, it’s Selena Gomez, with a new album called Revival! Yes, sometimes we all have to sacrifice for our passions: just as you factor suffering a compound leg fracture into skiing, my own albatross is having to listen to music that no human should have to endure, all for this multiple-award-winning column — if I were a laboratory ape, all you people would be calling the ASPCA, screaming into the phone. I would actually trade places with an ape, throwing my blocks at science nerds, so that I wouldn’t have to subject myself to Selena Gomez. So let’s play predict-a-fail, shall we? Let’s see, what year is it again? Halfbaked shrinkwrapped pop-frauds like Selena are into deep house these days, right, and Autotune is kind of out, and — wait, there’s probably a “feat,” but it won’t be Kendrick Lamar because he’s too A-List this month, and it won’t be Run-DMC because that would actually be cool. No, my guess would be someone like Wiz Khalifa or J Cole, which will make Selena’s legion of 12-year-old fans go “Wow, how hip is that, who’s he again?” and everyone else will be like “Whatever.” Either way, let’s go find out, right now. Looky there, there’s only an album teaser and it sounds like house, and meanwhile, Wikipedia doesn’t even care about this nonsense, so I don’t know who the “feat” will be. Regardless, you can be assured that Bach and Bartok will be wishing they weren’t ghosts so that they could have just one shot at micro-tweaking these fine musical compositions. • Co La is a noise-tech dude from Baltimore, and his real name is Matt Papich. His new album, No No, will be available somewhere or other; it seems like only 10 people care, but they are fierce, and so I must mention it to you. The first “single” is titled “Suffering,” a mixture of swooning orchestral samples, a lot of circuit-bent glitch, and a scratched-up vocal by some lady who seems to be trying to say “Tuesday,” but who knows. • You may recall our chuckling together on this page about Coheed and Cambria and their silly sci-fi concept albums made of tiresome nu-metal. I’m about to check out their new record The Color Before The Sun, with an open mind, because I am a professional. Right, the song itself is like half-emo and half-Rush from when Rush really sucked, and the video is about a nerd getting embarrassed by jocks but then getting revenge against the jocks and the cheerleaders (these girls actually didn’t do anything to the guy, what’s the dilly, I don’t know) by using stink-bombs and pot brownies, and then our heroes just show up and start playing in the gym. I liked it when it sounded like Rush, I’ll give it that. • Lastly we have Toby Keith’s new album, 35 MPH Town! The single is a waltzy little honky-tonk number called “Drunk Americans,” which celebrates the drunken moron in all of us, no matter what color, creed or reality TV preference! Yeee-ha! — Eric W.

Stefany Shaheen discusses Elle & Coach
If there’s one thing Stefany Shaheen hits on exactly right in her new book, Elle & Coach: Diabetes, the Fight for My Daughter’s Life, and the Dog Who Changed Everything, it’s the effect diabetes can have on an entire family. This is the opinion of Pam Shedd, whose 15-year-old daughter McKenna has had diabetes for five years. The Merrimac, Mass., mom bought 11 copies to pass out to friends, relatives and her daughter’s school at its Aug. 25 release. The family had seen the Shaheens’ yellow lab, Coach, on Chronicle a couple years ago and was inspired to get its own alert dog, a black lab named Dice. Instead of McKenna having to constantly monitor blood sugar levels, Dice can smell when the levels are off and let McKenna know by licking or nudging her. “I felt like I was reading about my life, too,” Shedd said via phone last week. “People tell me, ‘I had no idea Type 1 [diabetes] was like that.’ We just do what we have to do and move on with our lives, but people don’t know — they don’t know how serious Type 1 is.” Shaheen — the daughter of Sen. Jeanne Shaheen — said she’s heard numerous times that their story has helped readers understand the effects of Type 1 and has prompted other families to apply for alert dogs. They’re the kinds of responses mother and daughter were hoping for when they decided to write Elle & Coach about two years ago. It’s seen lots of attention from local and national news outlets, like ABC News and the Boston Globe, perhaps because the messages in the memoir are so universal. “Even if you don’t have diabetes or know someone who has diabetes, [all parents] can understand what it feels like to have to worry something is wrong with their child,” Shaheen said. “Whether it’s a health problem or a learning disability, our story is symbolic of the stories of so many people. Plus, I think people are amazed by what dogs can do. … Really, the sort of underlying moral of our story is that you can find hope in really unlikely places.” Their hope came in the form of Coach, whom the Shaheens purchased through Cares Inc. in Kansas. The industry, Shaheen said, is not very well-regulated; some alert dogs have been known to cost as much as $20,000, which is very much out of reach for many families. Cares, on the other hand, is able to keep prices low — normal costs are between $2,500 and $3,500, she said — because it partners with a correctional facility.

Having Coach took an enormous amount of strain off the Shaheen family. The lab travels with Elle, a student at Portsmouth High School, everywhere she goes — to her classes, to lunch, to her musical theater rehearsal after school. He’ll stay home if Elle wants to go out with friends or if he’s had a particularly long day, but for the most part, he’s there all the time and trained to work. His day starts with a long walk at 6 a.m., followed by breakfast and and classes with Elle, during which he’ll receive treats for doing his job. He takes a load off mother and daughter especially. “Because of the nature of diabetes — and again, it’s Type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease with no cure — it requires constant management,” Shaheen said. “Before Coach, so much of that day-to-day management fell squarely on her shoulders and on mine.” Shaheen was skeptical that Coach would help. Elle had been part of numerous medical trials and nothing had ever made a real difference. Most conversations between mother and daughter had to do with the disease; instead of things like, ‘How was your day,’ they were about, ‘When have you taken your medicine?’ and, ‘How many carbs are in that food?’ “The benefit of having Coach beside her is the companionship and the support he gives her,” Shaheen said. “He alerts her before she feels the symptoms, which are so powerful. She doesn’t have to feel bad before she acts. ... And she’s focused on what she needs to do for him because she loves him, and he’s her dog, instead of the emphasis always being on diabetes.” Shaheen had been writing about diabetes since Elle was first diagnosed at age 9. When she realized their story could be a book, she reached out to Mark Dagostino of Stratham, a bestselling author and former writer for People magazine. They put together a proposal and caught the attention of Mauro DiPreta, publisher of Hachette Book Group in New York City, who was also editor/publisher of Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World’s Worst Dog by John Grogan. There have been rumors Shaheen, a Portsmouth city councilor, is considering running for governor if Gov. Maggie Hassan decides not to run, but she declined to comment.

POP CULTURE BOOKS
Furiously Happy, by Jenny Lawson (Flatiron Books, 352 pages) When Jenny Lawson was a child, it was not unusual for her father to shoot a deer, lug it into the dining room and sling it across the table. Then, “my parents would dissect it and pull out all the useful parts, like some sort of terrible piñata.” That’s useful information, imparted in Lawson’s first book, 2012’s Let’s Pretend This Never Happened. When you grow up under the influence of a man who is simultaneously a taxidermist, bow hunter and animal-lover, you see deer parts on the diningroom table as well as the occasional bathtub full of orphaned baby raccoons that need care. The point is, Jenny Lawson had no chance of turning out “normal.” Now a wife, mom and phenomenally successful blogger (“The Bloggess”), she’s a hot mess who suffers from panic attacks, extreme anxiety, agoraphobia, trichotillomania and obsessive-compulsive disorder — pretty much all the biggies in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. She calls herself broken and says everybody is, to one degree or another. Her new book is Furiously Happy, and in her pursuit of happiness in the company of dead, furry things, she shows you can grow up, move out and have kids of your own but you never really get away from your parents. Let’s Pretend This Never Happened had a preserved mouse on the cover; Furiously Happy has a deliriously zany stuffed raccoon. They are not gimmicks, but part of the Lawson family, albeit deceased. The raccoon comes in handy when Lawson, an insomniac, has nothing to do at 2 a.m. and decides it would be fun to tether a raccoon corpse to her very much alive and perpetually insulted
cats, the brilliantly named Ferris Mewler and Hunter S. Thomcat. Hilarity ensues. The book is subtitled “a funny book about horrible things,” which is an accurate description. Unlike David Sedaris, whose understated humor sneaks up on you quietly, Lawson’s hits you with a bat. She may take to her bed to hide from the world for days at a time, a consequence of her crippling anxiety, but on the page she is wild and brash. It is not for the squeamish — of particular note is the story of the three dead cats somebody mailed her (she never strays far away from taxidermy). And she would still be just as funny, and broaden her audience a tad, if some brave editor would exorcise some of the crude language AND LOWERCASE SOME OF THE YELLING IN ALL CAPS. (Which gets kind of exhausting.) But that’s a quibble. Larson is a true comic talent. (Her theory that killer swans are responsible for most of the world’s missing people, and her tendency to mull hypothetical names for serial killers and pets, lead to much zaniness, as in “Get a litter box for The President!” and “Tiny Babies still on the loose!”) Anyone can be laugh-out-loud funny; the trick is to have people laughing out loud five minutes after they’ve closed the book. Furiously Happy is that kind of funny, which is ironic because so much of its genesis is sober and dark. The title derives from Larson’s revelation that depression is best defeated in the off season: that, while medication and therapy have not been able to prevent its recurrence, she can lessen its hold by being “furiously happy” during bouts of normalcy, “out of sheer spite” so that the memories of that other, happy life will give her resolve to power through the emotional sludge when she is low again.
Here is the origin of that thinking, taken from her original blog post (expletives deleted): “I’m *** done with sadness, and I don’t know what’s up the *** of the universe lately, but I’ve HAD IT. I AM GOING TO BE FURIOUSLY HAPPY, OUT OF SHEER SPITE. “Can you hear that? That’s me smiling, y’all. I’m smiling so loud you can **** hear it. I’m going to destroy the **** universe with my irrational joy and I will spew forth pictures of clumsy kittens and baby puppies adopted by raccoons and ***** NEWBORN LLAMAS DIPPED IN GLITTER AND THE BLOOD OF SEXY VAMPIRES AND IT’S GOING TO BE AWESOME.” This turned out to be not only a good way to take on the world, but a terrifically viral blog post and a fantastic hashtag on Twitter. It suffers only slightly as a book, meandering through only vaguely connected stories (including a trip to Australia, which, in less frenetic hands, is a compelling story all its own: Woman Who Can’t Get Out of Bed on Any Given Day Goes Abroad) and ending pretty much where it begins: deal with the horrors of life by laughing yourself silly. Lawson’s true gift, however, is not just making people laugh, but making them feel better about their lives in the process. In a moving chapter toward the end of the book (again, borrowed from the blog), she writes about how she struggles with how little progress she seems to make as a human being; how, out of any given month, she feels that she has been successful for only three or four days. “The other days, I feel like I’m barely accomplishing the minimum of a loser.” And how she discovers that, glory be, most people feel like that, and the shiny people are a lie. Or at least, if they exist, they are not the enemy. Even with the all-caps yelling, Lawson makes the indignities of life look strangely like fun. B+ — Jennifer Graham

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ
The Intern (PG-13)
Robert De Niro plays a retiree who heads back into the workforce in The Intern, a cute idea for a movie.
Or, actually, maybe a couple of cute ideas for a movie, none of them terribly well-developed. Ben (De Niro) is a 70-year-old widower who, after a few years of retirement, can’t take the lack of urgency any more. After traveling the world, learning Chinese and taking cooking classes, he decides he needs a workplace again and applies for a “senior internship” at an Internet business. The business, a startup less than two years old, has something to do with selling clothes and is vague but successful in the way that so many a movie Internet business is. Ben is one of four interns — two other seniors and one “regular aged” goofus named Davis (Zack Pearlman) — and he is placed as the personal intern to Jules (Anne Hathaway), the company’s founder. By showing up and being willing to pitch in with whatever, Ben wins the general admiration of the mostly 20- and young 30-something employees at the company. Solely because the plot requires it, Jules is initially not thrilled about having Ben around but she eventually grows to appreciate his general competency and adultness. And Jules could use some more competency and adultness in her life at the moment. Her fast-growing company is facing an investor push to hire a CEO — which would mean Jules would lose power at her own company — and, in her personal life, her stay-at-home husband Matt (Anders Holm) is growing restless and frustrated with their lack of time together. Ben, meanwhile, loves the purpose and human contact that comes with his new job, particularly the contact with office massage therapist Fiona (Rene Russo), who takes an instant shine to Ben. As expected, this movie contains a fair amount of “what’s a USB port?” and “old person doesn’t know about Facebook”
The Intern
silliness. (That last part feels particularly ridiculous considering that it seems like everybody’s grandma is on Facebook.) But, thankfully, it goes to the tepid seniors-vs.-technology well a lot less than it could have. Perhaps just as unrealistically, Ben is almost always the hero of any scene — never, really, is Ben shown having to adapt to some modern new school of thought. And, while it feels a little wish-fulfillment-y having him always, instantly, master every aspect of the Modern Hipster Workplace, it actually presents an interesting idea, which is that a lot of work is built on work skills that are the same whether you’re making phone books (Ben’s previous career) or selling stuff online. This movie is full of interesting ideas — ideas about work, retirement, marriage, work-life balance, entrepreneurship, workplace relationships, generational gender differences, parenthood. The ideas keep coming for the first half of the movie and are laid out, like randomly grabbed clothes strewn on a bed. But just as grabbing blindly at stuff in your closet doesn’t ensure the creation of a coherent outfit, so does an array of ideas not equal a complete story.
Ben’s entry back into the workplace is basically something he does on a whim, his latest hobby like the tai chi he does in the park or the cooking classes before that. There is no urgency about his work, there are no stakes. If he failed, he could just move on to learning French and basic carpentry. Giving him some stakes or making the work something that involved some learning on his part could have made the story a little more realistic while adding humanity and humor. The relationship between Ben and Jules is very fairy godfather. He is the Mary Poppins (or the Nanny McPhee, depending on your magical nanny preferences) who whisks into her life and tidies everything up. He is all advice and hankies and she is, after just the slightest hesitancy, full of gratitude. There is none of the actual tension, none of the very normal difficulty that can result from an older person working for a much younger one, particularly when the older person is a man and the younger person is a woman. The real struggles there don’t have to make one or the other character a villain and would have been interesting to explore. Instead of picking an idea and devel-
oping it or coming up with something it wants to say about a few of the ideas, the movie dissolves, like cornflakes in too much milk, into a bowl of mush in its final third, made hopelessly soggy by some out-of-nowhere, very flat-feeling “zaniness” and a string of “heartfelt speeches” — so so many heartfelt speeches. The movie speeches its way to resolution and then just stops, like the cameras were coin-operated and the filmmakers had spent all their quarters. The Intern isn’t a total bust. De Niro and Hathaway each play characters with just enough depth to make it past the expectations of cartooniness I had going into this movie, and they have nice enough chemistry together. But the movie needs more than sentiment to turn its cute concept into a fully realized story. C Rated PG-13 for some suggestive content and brief strong language. Written and directed by Nancy Meyers, The Intern is two hours and one minute long and distributed by Warner Bros.
Pawn Sacrifice (PG-13)
Possible genius and likely mental illness sufferer Bobby Fischer battles chess masters and his own brain in an attempt to be world champion in Pawn Sacrifice, a look at Fischer’s rise to fame in the chess world and his rivalry with Boris Spassky.
As a child, Bobby Fischer (Aiden Lovekamp and later Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick) showed an early affinity for chess, taking to its logic and pushing himself to learn more about strategy. As the movie tells it, the game might also have helped him block out some of the more troubling tendencies of his brain, including an oversensitivity to sounds, a laser-like focus on details and very limited people skills. As a teenager, he is shown basically kicking his mother (Robin Weigert) and her boyfriend out of the apartment and even as he becomes a nationally ranked chess player he becomes more isolated. As a young man, Bobby (Tobey Maguire) WILTON TOWN HALL THEATRE (603) 654-FILM (3456)

also at one point becomes convinced that his chair is vibrating. He chalks Bobby’s madness up to not just illness but fear. Bobby’s unreasonable demands in Iceland are, Spassky thinks, a way for Bobby to crazy himself out of having to face Spassky head on. Spassky demands that the tournament give in to Bobby’s wishes so that Spassky doesn’t win by default and Bobby isn’t able to wiggle away. Pawn Sacrifice does a good job of putting Fischer and his showdown with Spassky in the context of the times and of Fischer’s own problems. Where it falls short is in Fischer — both the man himself and the actor playing him. Maguire doesn’t do a bad job but he does seem to make the performance mostly the twitches and the wide-eyed look of mania. Though our eyes are always on him, he never gives the characters quite as much depth as Schreiber is able to do with his Spassky in far fewer scenes. And then there’s the problem of Fischer’s personality. It is easy to feel somewhat sorry for him; you sense that he was a man in need of some serious medical attention who didn’t get it because some hidden “They” thought it would mess with his chess game. But he isn’t likeable, not even in the House curmudgeonly genius way. He was, at least as portrayed by the movie, a schmuck, who was good enough at this one thing that his behavior was tolerated until it wasn’t and who was then left alone, probably to his great detriment. The title cards at the end of the movie briefly sum up the end of his life: obscurity, legal troubles, more anti-Semitism and then death. Ultimately, attempts to make him emblematic of something larger don’t make up for the lack of insight into the man himself. Bobby Fischer, and thus Pawn Sacrifice, remains an uneven curiosity. BRated PG-13 for brief strong language, some sexual content and historical smoking. Directed by Edward Zwick with a screenplay by Steven Knight and a story by Stephen J. Rivele & Christopher Wilkinson and Steven Knight, Pawn Sacrifice is an hour and 54 minutes long and distributed by Bleeker Street.

finds a patron in Paul Marshall (Michael Stuhlbarg), a lawyer/agent-type who tells Bobby that he and other patriotic individuals he represents want to help Bobby to take on the Russians, at the time the best chess players in the world. The goal is for Bobby to eventually play Boris Spassky (Liev Schreiber), the No. 1 player and the pride of the Soviet Union. Marshall brings on Father Bill Lombardy (Peter Sarsgaard), a one-time chess player, to serve as Bobby’s coach, of sorts. The men quickly find that not only will Bobby have to fight his way through the chess-playing ranks, he will also have to fight a host of terrible impulses, from his extreme paranoia and general jerkishness to a sense of persecution and bizarre anti-Semitism (particularly bizarre considering Bobby was Jewish). The movie begins and ends with Bobby’s tournament against Spassky in Iceland. In the opening scenes of the movie, Bobby is essentially tearing apart his hotel room looking for listening devices. He is forever convinced that he is being spied on and followed. He is also possibly right. Even as a child, Bobby’s mother tells him that men from the government might be watching them because of her politics, which the movie suggests was true. Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t after you, so the saying goes. Just because Fischer is unhinged, this movie seems to say, doesn’t mean Fischer isn’t also being watched and used as part of a propaganda war between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. Bobby might be hearing things and imagining men outside his door but he is also getting calls from the president and Henry Kissinger. While Fischer’s problems, whatever they actually were, were apparently undiagnosed in life (at least as far as the general public and Wikipedia are aware), the movie suggests pretty heavily that he suffered from some kind of mental malady. The movie also posits the idea — explicitly via Lombardy as well as through the generally normal-seeming Spassky — that chess itself can make one crazy. Even though he watches Bobby’s outbursts with a sort of bemused expression, Spassky

NITE Wish fulfillment Local music news & events
By Michael Witthaus
mwitthaus@hippopress.com
• Welcome: Downtown Portsmouth has a new music venue, as LuxDeluxe christens Birdseye Lounge. Named after a musical notation indicating a note that can be prolonged, paused or sustained beyond the expected, the 200-seat space will welcome Wild Adriatic, Mike + Ruthy and Futurebirds in the coming week. Former Press Room maven Tristan Law is among those booking shows. See LuxDeluxe on Thursday, Oct. 1, at 8 p.m., at Birdseye Lounge, 41 Vaughn Mall, Portsmouth. Tickets $5 at the door. • Songbird: Chasing a college romance led Annie Brobst to Boston, where she found her singing voice one night in a karaoke bar, met musical collaborator Roger Hagopian a bit later and wrote a song about the shortlived love that helped her to a New England Music Awards nomination. The country singer performs a local show with her band. See Annie Brobst on Friday, Oct. 2, at 8 p.m., at Milly’s Tavern, 500 Commercial St., Manchester. See facebook.com/anniebrobstmusic. • Festival: Rock out to a big lineup of local talent as Barnstormers Music and Arts holds an all-day event ranging from alternative (Yelloyüth) to surf punk (Jonee Earthquake Band) to soulful acoustic (Chris Merrill) and much more. People Like You, Something/Something, Lilith, Brotha Cats, Tommy & the Rats and Noonday Crawlers are among the acts rounding out the nine-hour show. Barnstormers III is on Saturday, Oct. 3, at Stone Church, 5 Granite St., Newmarket. Tickets are $8 at brownpapertickts.com. • Represent: Local bands including Among The Living pitch in to help a mother of two in her fight against Stage IV lung cancer. Mindset X, Sinister Sister, Bars Band, Cryin’ Shame and tribute group Maiden New England all perform to help the family; the woman’s husband left his job to care for their daughters, one a six-week-old infant. Attend the Sarah Smile Benefit on Sunday, Oct. 4, at noon at Jewel Nightclub, 61 Canal St., Manchester. $20 at the door. See gofundme.com/ep22nt8c. • Skillful: Throughout October, psychedelic charmers People Skills hold down a midweek residency on the Seacoast. The Paolini siblings — guitarist/vocalist Chelsea and drummer Andrew — meld with versatile bassist Greg Baldi for stellar musicianship and infectious songs. Though “power trio” is an often overused term, the band does it more than justice. See People Skills on Wednesday, Oct. 7, at 9 p.m. at Fury’s Publick House, 1 Washington St., Dover.

Local talent joins for breast cancer benefit By Michael Witthaus
mwitthaus@hippopress.com
The New Hampshire Rocks for a Cure concert on Sunday, Oct. 4, at Manchester’s Tin Roof Tavern is a kind of Make-A-Wish Foundation for adults, as local musicians and merchants and artists come together in the fight against breast cancer. The nonprofit group’s goal is laser focused, cofounder Jules Loehr said in a recent Skype interview. “Our main mission is to make wishes come true for terminal breast cancer patients,” she said. “Myself being a 15-year breast cancer survivor, I’ve always paid it forward to those going through treatment.” The Razzles, Cold Engines, Brad Bosse and Hunter will perform, with many more pitching in through donations. A local music basket will be raffled off containing a signed guitar, band CDs and swag. A Simple Complex, Floodwatch, Best Not Broken, Tom Dixon, Brickyard Blues, German Schauss and Blindspot are among those helping out even though they aren’t able to appear. Guitarist Gary Hoey wanted to be on the bill but couldn’t; instead, he sent a T-shirt, autographed photo and copy of his latest album. What explains the local music community’s enthusiasm for the cause? “All of the bands in one way or another have been affected by it,” Loehr said. “Whenever we ask one to play, they have a story.” NH Rocks for a Cure publicist Krystle Stayman, joining in for the Skype interview, pointed out that having scene habitués in the nonprofit’s leadership helps with recruiting. She, Loehr and cofounder Josh Rowsey spend much of their free time watching bands in clubs; musicians and venues seem NH Rocks for a Cure 3rd Annual Concert When: Sunday, Oct. 4, noon Where: Tin Roof Tavern, 333 Valley St., Manchester Tickets: $15 at nhrocksforacure.org Night Life Music, Comedy & Parties PATTY LARKIN at Flying Goose (40 Andover Road, New London 526-6899) on Thursday, Oct. 1, 8 p.m. Larkin redefines the boundaries of folk-urban pop music.

happy to return the favor. “We support the people who support us, so it’s a two-way street,” she said. “People are so willing; with Tin Roof Tavern, we didn’t even get the sentence out of our mouth and they said, ‘Yeah, we’ll donate the space.” Local businesses have jumped on board with contributions. Zorvino Vineyards donated a 20-person wine tasting party. A Longhorn Restaurant steakhouse basket, Pampered Chef cooking gear and an array of adult novelties from Athena’s are also among the raffle items. It’s the third annual event for the organization, but their efforts date back to 2008, when Stayman held a three-band fundraiser in their hometown of Milford to raise money for a national breast cancer walk. Fast forward to 2013, they decided to do it on their own and keep the money in state. The first show happened at Milly’s Tavern in Manchester and featured 10 local acts. Loehr learned of a friend living in Las Vegas and decided to lift her spirits. “She was terminal and fighting several other cancers, and she wanted to go to Ireland,” she said. “Between my resources here in New Hampshire and my friend Justin Spencer in Recycled Percussion in Las Vegas, we ended up raising enough to send her to Ireland in March 2014. That’s when our mission changed.”

Last year, the organization received formal nonprofit status from the state. Tickets to the event are $15 and include a well-stocked buffet. Chris DeSimone, who hosts Frank’s Local Music Show Sunday nights on Frank-FM, will emcee the event. The Nashua classic rock station is also providing promotional support. “With the help of Chris and his live local show, we’ve gelled,” Loehr said. “He shares our interest, and he’s been on board since day one ... for the long haul.” The organization has expanded its efforts this year to include a motorcycle ride and road race. An ongoing outreach effort regularly provides “fun bags” to breast cancer patients. The tote bags contain comfy socks, protein bars, hand sanitizers, hard candy and other essentials. Those interested in donating or taking part in bag assembly and delivery can learn more at nhrocksforacure.org. Wish fulfillment endures as the main focus, however. “Many breast cancer patients are fighting the fight and are never given an opportunity to live out their dreams; they worry about work, bills, and their families,” Stayman wrote in a recent email. “We would like to make those wishes come true, make a legacy … and cross those things off the bucket list using the resources and connections we have. There is no wish too big or too small.”

SIGNS OF LIFE Taurus (April 20 – May 20) I had never been any good at reading out loud. … But now, sitting on the magic unicorn, I heard my voice strong and loud. It was like singing a song. The words danced on the air and everyone listened. Your magic unicorn awaits. Gemini (May 21 – June 20) Aunt Mathilde bustled and hustled; she liked things to be just so. She greeted every customer like a long-lost friend. She was the heart and soul of the place. You’re in for some hustle and bustle. Cancer (June 21 – July 22) The question I am most often asked is always easy enough to answer. Question: how did you get started as a writer? Answer: strangely enough, by asking someone almost exactly that very same question…. Ask the question you really want to ask. Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) I’m forever writing about islands; I love islands. … Robert Louis Stevenson loved islands, too — Scottish ones, Pacific ones, he wasn’t fussy. He wrote the greatest island book of all time. As I’ve said, if there’s one book that fired my imagination as a young boy, it was Treasure Island. It’s a good time for an island getaway. Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) But to feel that a place is your home, it is not at all necessary to own it. Most of those who have lived in my village all through the ages since Saxon times have had a strong sense, I feel sure, that this was their place to be, to use, certainly, but to look after and to cherish, too. Hedgerows, ditches, trees, and meadows are witness to this. They made the landscape we see today. Most never owned a blade of grass, much less the roof over their heads. Doesn’t matter whether you own, rent or borrow. You will enjoy a great homecoming.

All quotes are from Singing for Mrs. Pettigrew: Stories and Essays from a Writing Life, by Michael Morpurgo, born Oct. 5, 1943. Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) Why should a writer seek to explain his craft to his readers? What’s the point? Surely the stories themselves are all you need? Pay attention at story time. Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) Uncle Bruno was almost always busy in his kitchen. He clanked his pots and sang his songs, and would waggle his mustache at me whenever I went in, which always made me giggle. He was happiest in his kitchen; I could tell that. Go where you’re happiest. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) Don’t pretend. Tell your tale. Speak with your own voice. And hope for the same from others. Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) The mariner sails the sea because he longs to, because it is a challenge he needs, because each time he is testing himself, exploring, discovering. I write for the same reason. This is your week for exploring and discovering. Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Tracking down a polar bear shouldn’t be that difficult. You just follow the paw prints. When in doubt, go for the obvious. Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) However, there are those who would like to probe a little deeper, who are not happy simply to gaze at the field of ripe wheat dancing in the breeze and wonder. They want to understand how a single grain of wheat grows, from where the seed comes, how it is planted and fertilized, how the earth cradles it, how the sun and rain sustain it. If you try hard enough, you can figure out how things work. Aries (March 21 – April 19) It was strange. On every other island I felt like a visitor. Back on Bryher I felt I really belonged. Now’s a good time to recharge your batteries in a place where you really feel you belong.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY CHUCK SHEPHERD
From Cuba, with love
One of the remaining 116 Guantanamo Bay prisoners (a man suspected of having been close to Osama bin Laden) has a dating profile on Match.com captioned “detained but ready to mingle,” the man’s lawyer, Carlos Warner, told Al Jazeera America in September. Muhammad Rahim al-Afghani has relentlessly proclaimed his innocence, and Warner released a series of charming letters from his client intended to humanize him. Al-Afghani commented on Lebron James, Caitlyn Jenner, the Ashley Madison website and, for some reason, South Dakota, but with the recent publicity, Match.com appears to have suspended the account.

• “Let me get this straight,” wrote an incredulous commenter in September. “(T) hose who oversee” the Matthaei Botanical Gardens in Ann Arbor, Michigan, have the park “populated with snakes that can bite and inflict serious wounds.” The remark was in response to a visitor’s having been bitten by one of at least 27 rattlesnakes loose (by design) on the grounds. (The Eastern Massasauga rattler is protected by state law.) On the other hand, the park has posted many snake warning signs, and the woman who was bitten had removed her shoes to walk in the lush grass. • Aluminum Foil Makes a Comeback: (1) City officials in Tarpon Springs, Florida, scrambled in May to find an ordinance that artist Piotr Janowski might have violated when he covered two palm trees, and then three sides of his rented home, in heavyduty aluminum foil, to the consternation of neighbors. Janowski is a graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and his work has been shown in that city’s Polish Museum of America. (2) National Forest Service officials announced success in fire retardation in August by protectively sealing a remote structure near an Idaho wildfire in multi-ply foil. (3) And then there is Arthur Brown, 78, also “successful” in having kept his house in Hermitage, Pennsylvania, free of “aliens” by sealing it in foil (although neighbors griped in September about falling property values).

Officials in Carroll County, Maryland, finally released a woman in August after she had been detained for 67 days just for declining to give her name to a traffic patrolman (who had stopped her for a broken taillight). In her idiosyncratic understanding of the U.S. Constitution’s Fifth Amendment, to “not be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against (herself)” means keeping her identity hidden from police. Eventually, sheriff’s deputies
