There is a new medical facility in our neighborhood. It is a place that offers “memory care” for folks suffering from the many different forms of dementia. As I drove by, I reflected that my father, who died with Alzheimer’s 20 years ago, might have been a resident of such a facility. I also wondered if I, his son, might someday be one myself.

Either way, I have taken precautions. For years, back to 1965, I have kept an almost daily journal. Several years ago, while driving our son to Logan Airport to catch a plane, I recalled some incidents from my life long before he was born. He asked many questions – some of them tough ones – but we laughed much. On my drive home alone, he called my cell: “Padre. Let’s get together sometime and have you read your journals to my sister and me. We’d rather hear it from you now than read them after you have gone.”

So, with that as salutary correction, I have started writing (about one a week) little two- to three-page chapters about my life experiences: some from very early days, some about relatives and friends, stories from college days, some from courtship, and many from times with the kids as they grew up.

No; this isn’t an attempt to copy the theme of the film “Boyhood.” Instead, it is to capture, for example, what I most loved about the Thanksgiving dinners of my youth. In those days, we kids sat at a card table away from the Big Table. But after the meal was over and our “elders” had a glass or two of wine, we would come sit with them as they started telling stories and talking about the old days. Hearing how family members reflected on their adventures can help us shape our values. In many traditional religious communities, such narratives are the “myths” — the foundational stories of their world. Although we might not reflect on it much, we all live in a context of stories. Myths are the stories of our beginnings. They tell how we came to be, who we are, and should be.

So, the short of it is this: we “elders” have a responsibility to tell the stories that will help position ourselves and may help position our children. This isn’t “memory care,” at least not for now, but it is “care of memories.”

A legislative committee told the Site Evaluation Committee to go back to the drawing board to rewrite sections of the SEC’s proposed rules for evaluating and approving major energy projects. The Union Leader reported the changes are meant to provide for more explicit standards and greater public input. The SEC has 45 days to make the changes.

The new rules will have a significant impact on planned projects such as the Northern Pass transmission lines from Canada or the proposed Kinder Morgan natural gas pipeline along the southern part of the state.

Natural gas

Liberty Utilities wants to expand its service footprint in the state into several southern and southeastern towns.

The Union Leader reported Liberty has proposed building natural gas delivery infrastructure for customers in Keene, Pelham, Windham, Lebanon and Hanover. And it has proposed financing, constructing and managing infrastructure in Jaffrey, Rindge, Swanzey and Winchester. The proposal hinges on the Kinder Morgan pipeline proposed near the southern border. Liberty currently provides natural gas to about 90,000 customers in New Hampshire.

JET-SETTERS

The Manchester Monarchs kicked off their new season with a brand new team and league on Oct. 16. They won their first match, against the Brampton Beasts, with a 2-1 score.

The high school in Pelham was evacuated on Oct. 16 so police could search the facility for drugs. The Union Leader reported K-9 units from area police departments and state police aided in the search, which found no drugs.

CONCORD

Voters overturned budget Hooksett cuts passed by town councilors in Derry after a special election saw 6,000 people Goffstown turn out in support of petitions a court previously ordered the town to vote on.

The Telegraph of Nashua reported the original release date is scheduled for Nov. 12, but school administration has had access to preliminary numbers since mid-September. The preliminary

The federal government is giving New Hampshire a six-month period to comply with new federal identification standards known as REAL ID. The AP reported the extension means New Hampshire residents with old photo IDs will continue to have access to air travel and federal buildings through June 1. New Hampshire is one of several states that has not updated its photo ID standards to align with the 2005 federal legislation that was passed to increase security after 9/11. There is legislation in the works to offer a REAL ID option to residents, but it would remain voluntary because of privacy concerns. A passport would serve as an alternative for those without a REAL ID license after the grace period.

results will now be available to everyone by Oct. 21. The two months between the preliminary and final scores are in place to clean up errors in the data, but board members and parents expressed an eagerness to see the preliminary data. The Smarter Balanced test is linked to the Common Core Standards and replaced the NECAP tests.

RETIREES

Lawmakers are expected to vote on Oct. 20 to increase health care costs for those receiving benefits under the state’s retiree health program. The AP reported the rate increase will likely affect 3,000 retirees under 65 and an increase in co-pays would affect 12,000 retirees. The 8,800 retirees who are older than 65 do not contribute to their health insurance premiums. Those under 65 will see a possible increase from a 12.5-percent contribution to a 15-percent contribution. The changes are meant to close a $10.6 million hole in the health program. The joint legislative fiscal committee postponed the vote during its last monthly meeting in September and again on Oct 16.

Housing summit A New Hampshire Housing Summit was hosted at Saint Anselm College, where experts talked about challenges facing the industry and presidential candidates spoke on the topic. According to NH1 News, Republican candidates South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former New York Gov. George Pataki and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee participated. Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley was the only Democrat to take part.

Primary drama, again Earlier this season, RNC chair Reince Priebus questioned the state’s primary status.

Now, Democratic Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid has said New Hampshire and Iowa should be stripped of their first-place position on the calendar, NHPR reported. Reid argued there are no minorities in New Hampshire and “nobody lives there.”

His comments stirred up some pretty firm responses, including one from Gov. Maggie Hassan, who called for his apology.

Hassan, a Democrat, is running for U.S. Senate.

Conservative caucus Texas Sen. Ted Cruz won the first ever Conservative Activist Caucus, the Union Leader reported. The event, which saw about 700 activists take part, was organized by the newly formed 603 Alliance as a way to unify the right behind a strict conservative candidate and against the party establishment. Cruz was the only candidate to attend the event and appeared to be a likely winner from the start.

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson won second place.

Biden biding his time As Vice President Joe Biden nears a possible run for president, a possible campaign platform had been obtained by the AP in an email, which said he would run “to restore the ability of the middle class to get ahead.”

Presidential candidates address student debt The price of college

By Ryan Lessard

news@hippopress.com

The price of NH’s public colleges is high and growing. As a share of median household income, the cost has doubled between 2000 and 2013 According to numbers released by the White House earlier this year, there are and is higher than the national average. about 212,000 New Hampshire residents with student loans — about 16 percent of the population — and they collectively carry a over $5 billion in outstanding student debt.

Candidates are taking notice.

Jen Palmieri, the national communications director for Hillary Clinton’s campaign, says it’s an issue that “comes up organically all the time” when Clinton is in New Hampshire.

It makes sense, given the numbers.

According to the Project on Student Debt, the average undergraduate debt in the state is more than $32,795, the highest in the country.

During a house party in Windham this summer, a resident told Clinton about his student loans, including one private loan with interest rates as high as 9 percent, according to a transcript supplied by her campaign. Clinton responded, “You are kidding!” — though it’s an issue that’s been on her radar for a while now, Palmieri said.

“College affordability, access to college … [Clinton wants to make] it so people who have debt now can manage it better, but also for people going in, that it’s more affordable, and for parents who have high school-aged students, that there’s a more affordable path to it,” Palmieri said.

Republicans are hearing it too.

“There’s grave concern about education,” presidential candidate Carly Fiorina told the Hippo in a recent phone interview.

Fiorina’s press secretary says voters ask her about it frequently during campaign stops.

UNH political scientist Dante Scala says most candidates have been talking about the issue.

*Percentage of median household income used for college tuition.

Source: The 2013 report “Why is Student Debt So High in New Hampshire?” by PolEcon Research.

“I think it’s fair to say that student debt is already a hot or more salient [issue] than it has been in recent primaries,” Scala said “Even though Democrats and Republicans are addressing it, the Democratic plans certainly sound more ambitious. More costly, but also more ambitious.”

Scala says he doesn’t expect to see Republicans offer the same kinds of expan-

sive government programs proposed by Democrats, but they have been talking about college cost.

“Republicans would much rather forego the college student vote, or at least the liberal or moderate college student vote. They’d rather forego that rather than being seen as big-government Republicans or high-spending Republicans,” Scala said.

Candidates’ takes What presidential hopefuls think about college costs Bernie Sanders (D): Make college free by taxing Wall Street.

Hillary Clinton (D): Make community college free and lower costs to four-year institutions with subsidies.

Donald Trump (R): Government shouldn’t profit from student loans.

Ben Carson (R): Pell grants and work is enough to pay for college.

Marco Rubio (R): Simplify tax credits, improve price transparency, create invest-

ment plans for financing and establish automatic income-based repayment. Also, loosen up accreditation to open up more non-traditional options.

Carly Fiorina (R): Privatize student loan industry and encourage online and forprofit options.

Jeb Bush (R): Use technology to lower costs.

Dobbin installed dental implants for L and has been doing check-ups to make sure everything heals well. Next, Dr. Bryan Hoertdoerfer will install teeth attached to the dental implants.

So far, Flanagan says, the swelling from the plastic surgery has gone down.

Doctors aren’t the only ones involved in the operation.

Flanagan says Not So Plain Jane’s has donated its fullservice spa to L’s disposal, and she’s PATTY FLANAGAN been seeing fitness trainer Danielle Rheault of Fortitude Health & Training as well.

“There’s a whole group of people that are working for this cause,” Flanagan said.

Flanagan doesn’t know how Operation Transformation will change or grow in the coming months and years, but she hopes several more women will get the help L is now getting.

The gala, which is sponsored by area hospitals, costs $100 a ticket. The room at the Manchester Country Club holds 300, and as of press time there were only about 60 seats left. The event starts at 6 p.m. For more information, visit operationtransformationnh.org or call Patty Flanagan at 645-6600.

A local woman who was badly injured from years of domestic abuse, currently referred to only as “L,” will be revealed with a whole new look at the upcoming Woman of Strength fundraising gala in Manchester. The mystery woman is undergoing what has been dubbed “Operation Transformation,” as medical specialists, personal trainers and aestheticians have donated their time and services toward her rehabilitation.

“We decided to find one person, one woman, to be representative of an entire population,” said Patty Flanagan, the office manager for Dr. William Dobbin, an oral surgeon in Manchester.

Flanagan has been organizing the masquerade gala, which is happening Nov. 13. The proceeds will go toward the New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence.

Dobbin decided he wanted to help a victim of domestic abuse after he heard a sobering statistic.

“Last year alone, in our state, 1,136 women left their abusive situations with the children in tow. … They got to safe shelter but there weren’t beds for them, so they were turned away,” Flanagan said.

Flanagan put out feelers through counselors and ministers to find candidates to whom they would donate their services. They had a number of applicants, but when they saw L, they knew they had found the one. L, a mother of three, had been in an abusive relationship with her husband for over 20 years and left him five years ago.

“When we [met] her, she had no teeth on her upper arch,” Flanagan said. “She was very self-conscious of it. She’s a young, very pretty woman.”

She started going to Dobbin about eight years ago and has since received free services from other healthcare providers such as Dr. Daniel Sterling, a plastic surgeon, who recently did reconstructive surgery on her nose, which suffered seven nasal frac-

What plans do you have for the New Hampshire DOT? I’m very passionate about asset management and performance management and I know that New Hampshire DOT is strong in that area, so I’m looking forward to being part of the team. … States are being asked to more clearly articulate what their needs are to keep their assets in a state of good repair and explain in a more clear way for the public what the performance for the infrastructure will be with different types of investments and what the risks are with investing in different assets at different times. … New Hampshire has already been working on its transportation asset management plan as part of their 10-year capital planning activities. They already have a robust process for measuring the condition of their assets — their bridges and their pavement — and articulating what projects need to be done and then engaging the public to make sure the other needs beyond the state of the repair are well understood. That’s a process that I think works really well in New Hampshire, and I’m looking forward to bringing some of my experience in Massachusetts to bear in Five favorites

terms of ensuring that we can meet those needs of the public.

Where would you prioritize investments in infrastructure?

There’s Courtesy photo. already a draft capital plan that’s been created, and there’s a series of public meetings being undertaken across New Hampshire throughout the … end of October. So really, that’s the opportunity to hear what’s important to the different communities and different regions of the state. Once I’m on board [in October], it will be perfect timing to take the comments that were provided during those hearings and make sure that we adjust the plan accordingly and are delivering things that are meaningful to the public.

Are you in favor of connecting the Mass rail system to Nashua and Manchester?

I know that’s something that is being debated across the state. There are some different perspectives out there. It’s one of the things that I’ll be looking to review once we get the public feedback on the capital plan.

I’ll be working closely with the Executive Council and the governor’s office to continue to evaluate all the different investments across modes and make sure we are delivering what the public has asked for.

What’s your favorite mode of transportation?

I don’t necessarily have a favorite mode.

I think it’s important that we continue to ensure that we have a comprehensive transportation system, whether that’s maintaining the existing highway infrastructure, increasing capacity based on needs for economic growth, or providing healthy transportation modes — ensuring that we have biking and walking options for folks, as well.

What kind of car do you drive?

I drive a Highlander, a Toyota SUV. …

But I do own a bike. I’m from Ireland, originally, so I fly home to Ireland, I take the bus down to Boston, on occasion, I take the rail.

So, I … believe in a transportation network, and making sure that we’re offering options to residents and to communities so they can most efficiently get to where they need to be.

NEWS & NOTES

QUALITY OF LIFE INDEX Opioid Rx numbers high

A three-month period of data tracked by the recently launched Prescription Drug Monitoring Program reveals a high number of federally controlled painkillers dispensed. The Union Leader reported that between April, May and June, more than 16.2 million prescriptions listed as Schedule II drugs were filled by over 108,000 people. About 80 percent of those were for opioid painkillers like morphine, fentanyl or oxycodone. The data were presented during an addiction conference in Concord.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: The current state law requires pharmacies to upload prescription data, but prescribers are not required to consult the database before writing a prescription.

Positive 2016 economic forecast

An economic report by the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies says the state will see more robust economic growth than it has in recent years. NHPR reported the forecast called for speeding up job creation with higher wages. New Hampshire is expected to benefit from national economic trends such as an improving real estate market and cheaper energy. And since New Hampshire is heavily reliant on outside resources like fossil fuels to produce energy, falling prices have a big impact here.

QOL Score: +1 Comment: Continuing economic challenges include needed infrastructure upgrades and repairs and gaps in broadband Internet service.

Unreliable apps

You need a map and compass on hand, even in the 21st century, as proven by three teens rescued Sunday night near the summit of Rattlesnake Mountain. According to The Union Leader, these three hikers had used a Google app downloaded on one of their cell phones to find a way to ascend the mountain. When the app sent them to the wrong parking lot and trails, they bushwhacked their way through the woods to try to reach the summit. When the terrain became steep and darkness fell, they called for assistance from conservation officers and a local volunteer before safely arriving at the trailhead at 8:30 p.m.

QOL Score: -1 Comment: One of the few things your phone still can’t do all the time is work properly at the top of a mountain. Fish and Game officials reminded hikers in the article to have the appropriate gear in case of emergencies, especially with current temperatures and earlier sunsets.

Snowmaking starts

The bright side of this recent chilly weather: Ski resorts are getting ready for this season by firing up snowmaking operations. Wildcat Mountain was highlighted in a recent WMUR report — staff were making as much snow as possible during the below-freezing temperatures this week to create a snow base that will help future layers adhere to the mountain’s surface.

The SiTe of

Brady and company, who got a bit too up for the game. But the past is the past and now it’s on to what has surprisingly become a big game with the 4-1 New York Football Jets, who come to Gillette at 1 p.m. next Sunday.

That’s the report from Indy. Now here are a few more thoughts on what’s happening around the rest of the NFL. Five games does not a season make, and they haven’t played any of the best teams yet. But all four of those Jets wins have been won handily and their defense is what I said it would be in the pre-season preview — the best in the division and second best overall league-wide. Plus their offense grounds and pounds with Chris Ivory and is dangerous on the outside with Eric Decker and Brandon Marshall. Maybe it all came together when a sucker punch saved them from having Geno Smith at QB, but it more likely has to do with new coach Todd Bowles, who looks like a keeper. All of which means Sunday will not be easy.

With the Jets much better with similar personnel and not killing themselves as Buffalo did again with eight more penalties for 93 in Sunday’s loss to Cincy, I’m starting to think Rex was a lot more of the problem in NYC than I previously thought.

The Jets aren’t the only ones flourishing after a divorce from Rex. A year ago, speedy Chris Johnson ran for less than 1,000 yards for the only time in his career.

Now with a third-best-in-the-NFL 405 rushing yards he’s on pace to hit 1,000 again and gaining them at a 5.1 clip in Arizona.

Yes, Denver’s 6-0 amid all the talk of “Peyton’s on the 18th tee and heading for the clubhouse.” But what does their record really say when only one of those six wins came by more than a TD and they were against the Ravens, Lions and Chiefs, who are all 1-5, the 2-3 Raiders, 2-4 Browns and 3-2 Vikings? That they know how to win at the end of the game, or wait until they play someone good? We may get a partial answer when they come back from their

bye week to host the equally undefeated Packers in two weeks.

Speaking of GB, the debater part of my personality wants to pooh-pooh media yakers drooling over Aaron Rodgers. But the truth is, he’s unbelievable. And while Brady is the best quarterback sneaker I’ve ever seen, Rodgers is the best I’ve seen throwing on the run. The best before him? Roger Staubach, John Elway, Fran Tarkenton and Steve Young.

The Chip Kelly to USC rumors are growing louder. Don’t know if he’ll go, but remember, Year 3 is when Nick Saban gave up in Miami by bolting for Alabama.

I’m not buying Atlanta. They have talent, but — weak division, easy schedule.

Still soft. Not that good. I am buying the Bengals, though. The defense’s been pretty good for a few years and they’re second in total offense to the Patriots.

Oh, one more thing about Indy, don’t you love the sanctimony of those fine folks in Indiana hooting on Coach B and TB 12 in the state where Bobby Knight was treated by many of them as a god-like figure while throwing chairs at refs during games, choking point guard Neil Reed in practice, kicking his son Pat in the shins during a game and mooning Puerto Rican police in front of his team as the plane departed after being arrested at the Pan Am games, among countless other disgraceful and belligerent acts while coach at state U? I’m now not sure Coach B’s famous decision to go for it on fourth and two was as dumb as many others think, but that faked punt called for by Chuck Pagano took him out of the running as the dumbest fourthand-two decision in Lucas Oil Stadium history.

Still no word yet from Bob Kravitz or Mort about how the Pats cheated this time.

Hmmm, I’m guessing Jim Kensil is103159 on vacation.

Great Events in Manchester

The Great Central-Memorial Football War of 1965

Pope Paul VI had just landed in New York to meet with President Lyndon Johnson and say holy mass at Yankee Stadium, US involvement was escalating in Viet Nam and legendary Bob Blackman’s soon to be Ivy champ Dartmouth College had just toasted Holy Cross 27-7. It was October of 1965 and Central was facing Memorial in the local football war of 1965. A game at Athletic Field with 7,600 boisterous fans on hand featuring great defense and a near fan riot. The Crusaders won the coin flip but elected to kick with a stiff wind that Sunday night. The Green picked up the game’s initial first down behind Jimmy Schubert and Steve deGrandmaison runs but after Schubert was thrown for a huge 21 yard loss they punted it away. The Crusaders then marched down the field as Kenny Thomas and Mike Shaughnessy ripped off big gains before Phil Messier took it over from 7 yards out. But it was called back on a penalty and they eventually lost it on downs. They came away empty again on the next possession when Mike Bradley’s short FG try went wide. Memorial kept moving the ball but couldn’t punch it in on Central’s bend but don’t break D and the half ended 0-0. But that changed when Thomas took it the distance from 63 yards out early in the 3rd quarter, which combined with a Bradley 23 field goal made up the 9-0 final. While the score was close, the stats were all Memorial, as Thomas ran for 121 and Shaughnessy an even 100 of their 231 rushing yards while the D held Central to just 15 rushing yards as it recorded one of their undefeated season’s seven shutouts in what was surely another great event for Manchester.

Sales . Service . Sincerity

No word in yet from Jim Irsay, Ryan Grigson, Ted Wells, Roger the Dodger, Jim Kensil, John Harbaugh, President Obama, ESPN’s bevy of talking heads, Oliver Stone, or Indy media moralists Greg Doyle and Bob Kravitz as to how the Patriots cheated this time. But, hey, it’s still early so I’m sure word will leak through from one of those guys sometime this week as to how they managed to beat the Indianapolis Colts 34-27 on Sunday night.

While we wait, I’ll tell you that made it seven straight over the Colts though it didn’t come in the way most in Patriots Nation wanted — another blowout. While they were in control of things most of the second half after scoring on the opening drive for a 27-21 lead, it actually was a second straight uneven performance.

The O was sharp and D so-so in the first half. Then after making adjustments the D held Andrew Luck to just 8 for 21 throwing in the second; it was the reverse for the offense, who couldn’t deliver anything close to the kind of game-cementing, clockkilling drive they have done so often over the years while playing a strangely uninspired fourth quarter. Plus the final TD was helped immensely by the boneheaded faked punt decision in their own territory with over 15 minutes still to go — one that if it happened in Foxboro I’m sure would be explained by all the previously named conspiratorialists and probably a few others in Pittsburgh as well by sabotaged headsets causing massive communications breakdowns among the Colts brass.

True, they remain undefeated. But this one came amid increasing offensive line concerns and mounting injuries that you hope happen going into your bye week, not after you’ve already had it. Maybe I’m not giving the Colts defense its due, or perhaps it was just Deflate-gate mental fatigue for

Sports 101: Who is the only current NFL coach with a winning record vs. Bill Belichick head to head?

Player of the Week: When you run for an astonishing seven TDs in just two and a half quarters, as Connor Bourque did Saturday vs. Central, Player of the Century for one game might be a better title. He was the big reason behind 7-0 Goffstown living up to its No. 1 ranking with a stunning 53-7 win over the Green as Bourque ran for 163 yards on 17 carries.

12 – goals in 12 games on the season for Londonderry striker Nate Gaw after scoring a hat trick in the

than two minutes to play in regulation and then got the game winner in OT to make the Crimson a 5-4 winner in NHIAA field hockey action at the start of the week.

Stunner of the Week: It was Pinkerton losing for a second consecutive week after winning 17 straight football games before that. This time Timberlane did it via a 31-28 triumph.

Sports 101 Answer: In stints with Jacksonville and with the G-Men, Tom Coughlin has won five of the six meetings with Bill Belichick’s team in Cleveland and NE, including, gulp, their two Super Bowl meetings.

Sports Glossary

Peter Lally after 3-1 and 6-0 wins over Merrimack and Salem respectively as Paige LaBerge and Katya Levasseur had a goal in each game.

436 – total yards gained by the Londonderry offense in a 37-13 destruction of Spaulding behind a huge day

by Jake Stevens, who threw for 216 yards and three TDs and ran for another while piling up a game-high 102 yards rushing.

Ted Wells: New Yaaawk attorney and lead investigator of the so-called Wells Report, which had more scientific flaws than creationism teachings. First impulse is to call him a doofus, but on upon further review, when you make $7 million for saying OK I’ll do it, as Roger the Dodger stumbles along, most of us only wish we were that dumb.

Rex Ryan: A guy who may be on his way to finding out that all the yapping works for a lot longer the first time around than it does as coach in your second NFL stop.

John Elway: All-world mobile QB who broke Cleveland’s heart multiple times as he carried three mediocre Broncos teams to the SB before getting destroyed by superior teams from Washington, New York and SF. Roger Staubach: All-world QB offering a mix of great passing, cerebral play and uncommon mobility for his day. In other words, John Elway before John Elway — he was leading Dallas during a time when America’s Team and Roger the Dodger were good terms.

Fran Tarkenton: Revolutionized football by bringing mobility to the QB position after having to run for his life playing behind a line consisting of expansion team retreads. His ex-QB coach Norm Van Brocklin hard-headedly proclaimed, “You’ll never win with a scrambler.” Fortunately for the Dutchman he died of a heart attack before Tark took the Vikes to three Super Bowls and doubled up Brock’s own 173 career TD passes to retire with the most all-time.

If you’re looking to get in the Halloween spirit, New Hampshire has events for all ages, from the terrifying to the tame. There will be plenty of costume contests, games, crafts and spooky activities, and you may even see some zombies.

“It’s really just fun and hilarious to see two to three hundred zombies walking down Elm Street past unsuspecting passerbies,” Sara Beaudry, Intown Manchester executive director, said about Intown’s upcoming Zombie Walk.

The free event, happening Saturday, Oct. 24, invites walkers of all ages to dress up like zombies and play the part as they make their way downtown together. “Zombie-friendly” businesses along the route will be handing out treats, and prizes will be awarded for the best zombie costumes.

There will be pre-walk activities at the Brady Sullivan Plaza beginning at 11 a.m., including free zombie makeup applications. The walk will launch from there at 2 p.m. and will end at Milly’s Tavern.

Beaudry said she’s impressed every year with the creativity of the walkers.

“The people are amazing,” she said. “[Their zombie costumes] run the gamut, from Walking Dead style to the classic zombie movies.” — Angie Sykeny

CANDY CORN DELIGHTS

Though eating it straight out of the bag is her preference, The Culinary Playground owner Kristen Chinosi shared in an email a few fun ways to incorporate candy corn into your Halloween treats. Making a cake or cupcakes with a haunted scene on top? Use candy corn as a colorful, spooky fence or complete a monster’s face with yellow, orange and white teeth. (Mellowcreme pumpkins and ghosts can also boost a graveyard cake motif). Stick candy corn kernels — white end first — into a marzipan or chilled cookie dough core to create candy corn on the cob. Candy corn bark is a delicious way to get all the right sweetness into one bite. Try making it with candy corn, white chocolate, Oreos and Reese’s Pieces. Get the perfect salty-sweet mix with candy corn popcorn balls or snack mix made with M&Ms, salted peanuts and candy corn. For those truly inspired by Halloween tidings, try making your own candy corn at home. Chinosi recommends The Kitchn’s homemade candy corn recipe at thekitchn.com.

The seven acres of corn maze at Coppal House Farm (118 N. River Road, Lee, nhcornmaze.com) draw all ages ready to spend a fall day supporting local agriculture.

“We have people that come with preschools, right up through 8th grade,” general farm manager Meghan Boucher said. “But then we have groups of adults that come and they leave all the kids at home.”

Each year Coppal House Farm’s professionally designed and cut maze features an animal theme — this year it’s honey bees and pollinators.

“We try and pick an animal that you would see in your backyard in New Hampshire and make it a little educational,” she said.

Throughout the maze, guests answer questions about the theme, with correct answers guiding them to the fastest route.

“We love having the public here,” Boucher said. “It’s nice for them to see how a farm really works.”

Visit Monday through Friday from noon to 5 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $9 ages 13+, $7 ages 5 to 12, seniors 62+, college students and military with an I.D.

Double the trick-or-treating fun this Halloween at these downtown trick-or-treat events. New Boston’s “Triple Treat” will include a trunk-or-treat in the Town Hall parking lot as well as trick-or-treating at the Recreation Office. Head to the Deerfield Fairgrounds for a costume parade and tailgate trick-or-treating. Derry will have a Spooktacular Costume Parade & Contest in downtown with prizes for the best costumes, followed by a trick-ortreat with participating businesses. Stop by the Milford Oval, where the Recreation Department will be hosting a costume contest and handing out candy and small toys.

A trunk-or-treat will be held at the Raymond Shopping Center, and Londonderry businesses will be handing out treats at the Trick-or-Treat on Main Street event.

Don’t miss the biggest downtown trickor-treat event, Intown Concord’s Annual Halloween Howl, which includes more than 50 participating businesses and attracts as many as 5,000 people.

“The businesses will open their doors or set up tables outside their doorway so the kiddos can go trick-or-treating from store to store,” said Susan Sokul, Intown events and communications coordinator.

“And it lets families meet up and chitchat with neighbors and just enjoy being in downtown.”

The Halloween Howl will also feature music, a dance party and costume parade, a kids’ craft project, an all-ages open mike, a haunted bus and playground put on by the YMCA and costumed superheroes from Double Midnight Comics.

While most families do both downtown and neighborhood trick-or-treats, the downtown events offer an alternative for families living in an area without many houses or for those concerned about the safety of neighborhood trick-or-treats.

“For people who live in a rural environment and travel into Concord, [Halloween Howl] may replace their neighborhood trick-or-treat,” Sokul said. “It provides a safe, fun, community-based evening for the kids.” — Angie Sykeny

Staff at the Kimball Jenkins School (266 N. Main St., Concord) are organizing two events to celebrate the spooky holiday. One is a Halloween Costume Family Party on Sunday, Oct. 25, from 2 to 4 p.m. At this event, there will be family photos (plus a frame-decorating craft to put your photo in) and readings of The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury and The Berenstain Bears by Stan and Jan Berenstain, with copies avail-

Seacoast author Jeremy Robinson has recently translated part of his scary novel, Project Nemesis, about what happens when a murdered girl’s DNA is mixed with that of Nemesis, the ancient Greek goddess of vengeance, into a comic book. In this story, Nemesis terrorizes the New England coast. The book has been broken into a six-part comic book series and features artwork by by Godzilla and Transformers artist Matt Frank. The first title hit shelves Oct. 7.

“I was a fan of Matt Frank’s work since he started illustrating Godzilla comics.

I contacted him while I was still writing the first Nemesis novel, Project Nemesis, and asked if he would like to design the monster. He did an amazing job and has since designed the monsters in all four Nemesis novels,” Robinson said via email. “When the comic book offer came, Matt was already on board.”

Robinson said it was a challenge translating the book to comics, but that Frank’s pictures replaced a lot of the action scenes, making it more concise. They’re currently working on the comic script for Robinson’s other novel, Island 731. The books (and comic book) are available in bookstores and

Michael Accomando, co-owner of Spooky World presents Nightmare New England (454 Charles Bancroft Highway, Litchfield, nightmarenewengland.com), said this year’s new attraction is a much-anticipated mile-long haunted hayride complete with a laser show and explosive pyrotechnics.

“We want to always make people feel like they're not spending the same amount of money [on the same attractions] every single time,” he said.

That’s why Spooky World added new attractions and changed up the returners like Brigham Manor, which is lights out this year — all you get is a glow stick before you enter.

“We’re scary, we’re fun. There’s fire pits, there’s rides, there's the carnival food,” Accomando said, adding that the goal isn’t to scare people the whole time. “I need you to have down time … grab some fried dough and feel relaxed again so I can get you later when you go back out.”

Visit this year’s five attractions — Brigham Manor, The Darkness; 3D Festival of Fear; Carnage; The Colony, A New Breed; and The Haunted Hayride — Thursday, Oct. 22, through Sunday, Oct. 25, and Wednesday, Oct. 28, through Sunday, Nov. 1, from 6 to 11 p.m. Tickets cost $39. “Lights On” Family Fun Days happen Saturday, Oct. 24, and Sunday, Oct. 25 ($19).

“It’s a thermoplastic that, when heated, reacts like paper. You can fold it pretty much any which way. You can turn it into bows and staves, armor, anything you can wear,” Stewart said.

As for fabrics, she shops at Jo-Ann Fabric and a local shop called Martin’s House of Cloth, and she’s fond of re-purposing used clothes from Goodwill. If you want to shop for accessories and costume supplies, check out halloweennewengland.com to find a store near you. — Ryan Lessard

glasses. It really is a very distinctive style of carving.”

He says some of the stones have carvings of hearts while others have Scottish cross wheels.

By the 1830s, Watters said, mausoleums were built with opulence, some inspired by Greco-Roman architecture, as a way to celebrate democracy and show off the rewards of industry. The mausoleum of former Gov. Frederick Smyth in Manchester’s Pine Grove Cemetery is designed to look like the Greek Parthenon.

“You really have these full scale temples and obelisks and monuments that expressed that kind of confidence, but also a focus on the family,” Watters said.

He said when whole families were interred in a mausoleum it was symbolic of the heavenly home.

Whether it’s to enjoy the solace of a cemetery, appreciate the stone-carved artwork of a gravestone or pay respects to captains of industry, heros of war or enterprising former slaves, New Hampshire has several graves of note worth visiting.

David Watters is a state senator and a professor of English at the University of New Hampshire. He has studied the older grave sites of New England for their craftsmanship and symbology.

Watters says graves from about 1670 at Point of Graves in Portsmouth are great examples of Puritan spiritual anxieties.

“In that cemetery, in particular, you’ll see the early kind of Puritan beliefs. They believed the soul, when you die, comes out, is literally breathed out of your mouth and the air is full of devils that might come and try to take it and carry it away,” Watters said.

This led to a common motif carved into headstones.

“The classic invention of early New England carving is the winged death’s head,” Watters said.

The winged skull with large teeth and eyeballs is enough to give anyone the creeps. But Watters says it’s not all spooky.

Some of the artwork is more hopeful, with depictions of angelic faces and vines and flowers representing the new Eden meant to spring up in New England after the Second Coming of Christ.

“A really great place to go is in Derry … and Chester, New Hampshire, in the Scotch-Irish community. Because when they came to New Hampshire in 1718 in large numbers, they brought their own gravestone carver with them: John Wight,” Watters said. “He has these wonderful folk images of coffins and hex signs and hour-

ARTS Dark humor

The Palace goes creepy with The Addams Family

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

Halloween at the Palace Theatre starts Oct. 23 with its premiere of The Addams Family, and theater staff are celebrating like never before.

“Our theater is haunted, and they’re all excited about that,” Artistic Director Carl Rajotte said between rehearsals on a recent Tuesday afternoon.

The cast had already moved through a solid run-through of Act I the day before, and later that night they planned to settle in for a movie followed by a theater tour.

“We usually do a horror movie and popcorn, and then I take them on a tour of the boiler room to all the places where spirits are known to be,” Rajotte said.

The Addams Family is new to the Palace, having hit Broadway in 2010. The original production featured Nathan Lane as Gomez and Bebe Neuwirth as Morticia, but the story occurs when the kids are a little older — Wednesday is in love and engaged to a “normal” boy named Lucas Beineke, and when they go to tell their families at an Addams mansion dinner, chaos breaks loose. Pugsley worries Wednesday won’t torture him anymore, marriages are questioned and Uncle Fester instructs the Ancestors to create a terrible See The Addams Family Where: Palace Theatre, 80 Hanover St., Manchester When: Friday, Oct. 23, through Saturday, Nov. 14 Admission: $25-$45 Contact: 668-5588, palacetheatre.org

storm that traps everyone inside for the night.

This production features special effects galore, with a Palace twist. Crew members have spent weeks building one gigantic unit set, lots of rolling pieces and a huge Addams Family Tree made from Great Stuff foam. There will be video projection, sword fights with curtain tassels and hourlong make-up sittings.

“We’re going to play a lot with colors I never use. I never use green, ever, in any shows that I do, but green is very creepy and ghoulish. We’re going to use a lot of intelligent lighting, which will make things look like they’re moving,” Rajotte said.

“I wanted to do the show because I love creepy things. I love horror movies. And really, in musical theater, there isn’t a lot

of opportunity for that.”

Finding the cast wasn’t easy.

Rajotte holds auditions in New York twice a year, and while he was looking for Addams Family cast members, he was also seeking performers for Christmas Carol, Nunsense and Rock of Ages. All very different shows.

“Our New York auditions went very well, but I needed

more time than what was allotted in New York. I needed to find out if [actors] could handle this darker humor — I did a lot of sending people scenes and having them video tape it at home and send it back to me,” Rajotte said.

And because everyone knows the Addams family, physical type needed to be spot-on. Morticia needed to be tall and thin. Fester needed to be short and willing to shave his head. Lurch needed to taller than everyone else.

“But [the show] is very funny. There’s lots of dancing, which people aren’t going to expect, but the Ancestors dance a lot. The banter back and forth between Wednesday and Pugsley is fantastic,” Rajotte said. “I don’t want people thinking it’s a children’s show. … It’s the authentic Addams Family humor.

If you go back to the [TV] show, a lot of kids watched it, yes, but there was a lot of adult humor that went over the kids’ heads but that the parents really enjoyed and related to. [The musical] stays true to

that type of humor.”

Are the Palace ghosts excitabout

30, trustees report they’ve met the match, according to a release. A major portion of the challenge match was given in memory of William Eppes, a lifelong aficionado and supporter of live, professional theater. The Park Theatre is the second-largest structure in downtown Jaffrey and sits at the center of downtown. If all goes as planned, it will be open year-round with two performance spaces for professional touring theater companies and musical acts and locally produced theater endeavors. The movement to re-open the theater began in 2006, and while there were snags during the 2008 economic downturn, there has now been more than $4,400,000 raised to help complete the final pre-construction and regulatory processes.

Finding framing solutions

Grace Burr opens framing, gallery studio in Manchester

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

Custom framing goes far beyond fitting something around that odd-sized painting or photograph. and you can see the proof inside Grace Burr’s new business, Creative Framing Solutions.

Located in Manchester’s cultural hotbed on Hanover Street, the space has high ceilings and exposed brick walls. Two weeks before its Oct. 24 opening, the store’s street sign hadn’t yet been hung, but the inside was nearing visitor-ready. Paintings lay against the side wall, waiting to be placed, and natural light poured through windows. At the back of her shop sat some of Burr’s less traditional frame work.

“I’ve done several of these for families,” Burr said, picking up a framed memory box, created for someone who died of breast cancer. Assembled inside was a ribbon, pink bandana and dried roses from the woman’s funeral.

one another, and another frame highlighted shiny trinkets set against green backsplash.

“Costume jewelry. What do you do with it? You stick it in a drawer,” Burr said. “But I think you may as well display it and put it out.

You can share it that way. … And it’s incorporating some design, you know what I mean?

It’s different.”

Burr, an artist and framer for 25 years, initially started Creative Framing Solutions in Gloucester, Mass., which she ran for seven years before moving to New Hampshire.

She put off finding a new storefront, choosing instead to run the business remotely from her home and tiny rented Manchester studio to feel things out. When the Hanover Street space opened up this fall, she leapt at it and moved in Oct. 1.

It was perfect, located next to the parking garage, yet right smack in the middle of downtown. Plus, footsteps away were other studios and office spaces for local arts businesses, nonprofits and organizations like The Palace Theatre, The New Hampshire Philharmonic, Profile Chorus, StudioVerne, Dance International Studio and others.

“It’s an environment that’s inspiring and stimulating, and that’s one thing I loved. The high ceilings, the natural light — it had the right feel. It was a no-brainer to take it,” Burr said.

A self-taught artist herself, Burr’s looking forward to tackling the Queen City scapes in her own paintings and working with locals to create framing designs.

when I was young,” Burr said. “Everything back then was, you know, in a gold frame, as if it was going to go in the MFA. But now framing has come so far. It has really merged and married with interior design.”

Being an artist, she said, helps her frame.

You need to know color theory and the elements of good composition — what will make images pop. Yet at the same time, a successful design, she said, is one you hardly notice.

“You have lines, you have shapes, you have color, you have perspective. These are all the elements that make a painting a painting. They draw the viewer in. A frame is what surrounds it, and it should be a subtle complement, an embellishment to the artwork,” Burr said.

But the real art, she said, is working with the people.

“I’ve gone to galleries where there’s a counter, and what [the framer] says is what happens. That’s not what this is about. This is a collaboration,” Barr said. “I want to know what you like. I want to know what draws you.”

Once the business is up and running, Burr plans on opening the studio and gallery to other local artists in the hopes they’ll show and sell their work here too. Even though she’s been in New Hampshire for two years, re-opening Creative Framing Solutions here represents her finally diving into the arts community and her commitment to stick around Manchester.

“I love seeing the sun go down and hit the buildings,” Burr said. “I love that in the summer, you can go outside [downtown] and hear live music. I love that you can walk down the street, and there are great restaurants. … The culture here is amazing.”

INSIDE/OUTSIDE Every pumpkin matters Pumpkin Festival debuts in Laconia

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

Nancy Sporborg created the New Hampshire Pumpkin Festival — formerly the Keene Pumpkin Festival — 25 years ago with the idea that every person makes a difference, and a community can accomplish anything.

On Saturday, Oct. 24, approximately 40,000 people are expected to congregate in downtown Laconia for a massive celebration of all things pumpkin, and to attempt the Guinness World Record for the most lit jack-o’-lanterns in one place.

“When people go [to Pumpkin Fest] and they bring their carved pumpkin … they have the opportunity to know that they are part of that community and to know that they matter and that their contribution to the whole counts,” Sporborg said.

Traditionally held in Keene, Pumpkin Fest was relocated to Laconia after the Keene City Council relinquished the festival due to a rioting incident last year. Over a dozen towns from New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Vermont vied to take ownership of the festival, but with the persuasion of Laconia Motorcycle Week event manager Charlie St. Clair, Laconia was deemed the best location.

Various activities, entertainment, vendors and more will be held throughout the downtown area. “[Canal Street] will be a major vein, as will the cheek-to-cheek [pumpkin] display lining Main Street,” Ruth Sterling, event manager, said. “But … there will be something to see in every nook downtown.”

Hit the ground running at 9 a.m. with the Runaway Pumpkin 10K & 5K Run/Walk. A scenic course will take runners and walkers through New Hampshire Pumpkin Festival Where: Downtown Laconia When: Saturday, Oct. 24, 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Cost: Free admission. Some activities have a fee.

the WOW Trail, which circles lakes Winnipesaukee, Winnisquam and Opechee.

The festival officially begins at 10 a.m. with food and craft vendors and the opening of PumpCANALy, the hub of family activities on Canal Street, which will be completely painted orange. PumpCANALy will have face painters, caricaturists, balloon artists and photo booths, as well as ongoing games like the pumpkin ring toss and fishing for pumpkins and scheduled games like musical pumpkins (1 p.m.) and pumpkin pinatas (10:30 a.m.). Entertainment will include a block party with dancing and music, a magic show (11:30 a.m.) and a cartoon story time (2:30 p.m.).

Several businesses around town will also contribute to the fest. The library will have crafts (11 a.m.), story time (2 p.m.) and a showing of It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1 p.m.). Imagine Gallery will have face painting, crafts, music and artwork. Head to Belknap Mill, the oldest unaltered brick textile mill in the U.S., for Mayhem at the Mill, a haunted attraction. The Bank of New Hampshire on Pleasant Street will host the Community Carving Center, where you can carve a pumpkin if you didn’t bring your own, and

pumpkin bowling (noon to 6 p.m.).

Go bounce around at Opechee Park, where there will be numerous themed bounce houses including Spiderman, Frozen, SpongeBob and more, plus a slide.

Take The Pumpkin Express for a 45-minute scenic train ride around the lakes, offered from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Kids can show off their costumes at the Children’s Costume Parade at 12:30 p.m. The parade will begin on Church Street and will be led by Cinderella’s pumpkin coach from Story Land.

Pumpkin Festival’s claim to fame, the 35-foot Pumpkin Tower, can be found around New Salem Street along with thousands of jack-o’-lanterns on street-level displays and live music. Jacko’-lanterns for the Guinness World Record attempt will be accepted until 6:30 p.m., at which point the lighting will begin.

Organiz-

ers will then tally an official count of the pumpkins and announce the results at 8 p.m.

The fest will end at 8:30 p.m. with the Pumpkin Dump Derby, a race in which teams will compete to clean up their assigned area the fastest. The winning team will receive a $1,000 donation for the charity of their choice. All teams who complete the challenge will receive $100 for their charity.

“People from the world over have felt drawn to the Pumpkin Festival,” Sporborg said. “They see the power of community and want to be a part of that magic. And they will be drawn to it in Laconia for the same reasons.”

By now you may have put your garden to bed, raked the leaves and planted spring bulbs. I haven’t, but don’t gloat if you have — there is still work to do. This is the time to prune hardwood trees and shrubs (though not evergreens, which should have been pruned back in July). Take a walk around your property and look for scruffy shrubs or trees with deadwood or crossing branches. Trees are healthier and better looking if pruned regularly, meaning at least once a year.

To me, pruning is a joy. I can’t draw a picture, but I can sculpt a tree, making a messy, un-made bed of a tree into something beautiful. If you haven’t dared to prune, give it a try. Even if you make an “oops!” cut, the tree will recover. Start slowly, never taking off more than 25 percent of the foliage of a tree or shrub in any given year.

Let’s start with how to prune a shrub.

Walk around it three times, observing its growth. Is it too tall? Too wide? Is the interior of the shrub cluttered with dozens of small branches? Are there dead branches?

It is easiest to prune once the leaves have fallen so one can see the structure of the plant. My late sister, Ruth Anne, loved to start by sitting down or sprawling out underneath a shrub and looking up through it to see where clutter should be removed.

Sometimes I do that too, depending on the species.

Begin by removing any dead branches.

You can do that any time of the year. If the leaves have dropped and you are not certain if the branch is dead, rub it with your fingernail. If you see green when you scratch the surface, it is alive. Soon you will also notice that the bark on dead branches is a different color, and the bark is often flakey.

Next, look for branches that are rubbing against others, or branches that shoot through the middle of the shrub. Branches should go up or out, not toward the middle.

Remove any that do not follow this rule.

It is important to cut branches so that you do not leave any stubs. Cut back a branch to where it originates, either on a bigger branch or to the trunk. Look for the branch “collar.” This is at the point of origin of a branch and is usually swollen and often wrinkled. Leave the branch collar, as that is where the tree will heal itself. If you leave a stub past the branch collar, the stub will have to rot off — a long process — before it can heal. That could allow insects or diseases to damage the tree.

Unlike most trees, many shrubs send up multiple stems from the ground. Forsyth-

Branch collar to right of magic marker stripe.

ia, mock orange and many lilacs do this, for example. If you never cut out some stems, the plant will get broader and denser in habit and lose its graceful appearance. In general, cutting out old stems and encouraging younger growth will invigorate a shrub.

In my opinion, most trees and shrubs look best if their “legs” are exposed. That means the lower part of the stems shouldn’t have side branches and there shouldn’t be uninvited stems to shoot up from the base. Some apple trees are notorious for sending up unwanted shoots from the roots. Cut them off at the ground for a better-looking tree.

Speaking of apple trees, most people think they should be pruned in March. In fact, you can prune them now, too. March is a time when farmers and orchardists had time on their hands. But you do no harm by pruning now. Many apples have lots of water sprouts, those pencil-thick stems that shoot straight up. Every year apple trees produce more, and every year I cut them off.

Deer are bad pruners. They go around trees and shrubs nibbling at twigs. Good pruners take larger branches, opening up a tree or shrub to sunlight and better air circulation with a single cut instead of 50 small ones. Taking a big cut is a bit nerve-wracking at first, I suppose, but with practice it gets easier. Many trees and shrubs respond to a cut by branching and growing two or more new branches. Make 50 small cuts and you can have 100 new branches. Make a few big cuts and you get just a few new branches.

To prune well and efficiently you need good tools. Don’t go to a big box store and buy the cheapest pruners you can. Go to your garden center and buy a good pair of by-pass pruners. Felco is the most common brand of the good pruners, though I prefer pruners made by Bahco. You’ll need a saw and some loppers, too. Don’t get a bow saw, get a nice folding saw with a tri-cut blade. And get geared loppers if you can.

Fiskars makes nice ones.

So get to work. Most of us have plenty of pruning to do, and a good fall day is the perfect time to do it.

IN/OUT TREASURE HUNT

Dear Donna, I am wondering if know anything about this sword.

Barbara Dear Barbara, I say all the time that the best part of my job is learning something new every day.

Your sword is very lovely and is American, based on the markings you sent me.

It’s actually called a dress sword or presentation sword. Both mean it was never used in battle. It was either for formal ceremonies or for a presentation to an officer, so it is strictly decorative.

This doesn’t mean there is no value. Who it was presented to and the inscription can make some of these very collectible. Even with no inscription, the designs make them desirable as well. My suggestion to you is to bring it to have it looked at. If it’s just a ceremonial sword then the value would still be in the $100 range.

Wooded wonderland

NH Audubon offers enchanted nature walk

By Angie Sykeny

Enchanted Forest

asykeny@hippopress.com

As an alternative to scary haunted houses and walks, New Hampshire Audubon is hosting The Enchanted Forest, a family-friendly educational Halloween walk that will take participants on an evening stroll through the woods with fun skits and campfire stories.

It will be held Saturday, Oct. 24, and Sunday, Oct. 25, at the McLane Center in Concord.

“A lot of other events are more frightening, haunted-type things, but [Enchanted Forest] is for anyone looking for a nonscary activity to enjoy,” said Ruth Smith, event coordinator. “It’s a fun alternative for families that won’t send children into tears, and they’ll learn tidbits about nature.”

Participants must sign up for a one-hour time slot between 4:50 and 7:50 p.m. on Saturday, or 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. on Sunday.

Each walk will be led by two guides — one in front of the group, one at the end, so no one gets left behind. The wooded trail will be dimly lit by jack-o-lanterns and glow sticks to give it an enchanted ambience. The group will make three stops to watch educational skits about nature.

“It will be something like two characters, for instance, a hawk and an owl, talking to each other about their differences or people’s misconceptions about them,” Smith

Where: NH Audubon McLane Center, 84 Silk Farm Road, Concord When: Saturday, Oct. 24, 4:50 to 7:50 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 25, 4:30 to 7:30 p.m.; Rain or shine event (outdoor skit sites are covered).

Who: Children should be age 4 or older.

Scout and youth groups also welcome.

Cost: $6.50 per person for NH Audubon members, $9.50 per person for nonmembers. Discounts for large groups are available. Pre-registration is required.

said. “It’s fun and entertaining dialogue that also teaches information.”

At the fourth and final stop, the group will gather around a campfire where a storyteller will give an animated narration of stories based on Native American legends.

This event is not only for families.

Adults without children are welcome to join as well.

While the walk itself has no scary elements, Smith recommends that families with younger kids who get spooked easily

GROOVE AGAIN Excited to reunite after years apart for a one time, exclusive performance, JamAntics appear at Capitol Center for the Arts (44 South Main St. Concord 225-1111) on Saturday, Oct. 24, 8 p.m. The band exploded onto the New England music scene in early 2009; its five members bring varied musical backgrounds into the mix, creating a unique sound. A balance of structured songwriting and free improvisation ensures that fans will be able to sing along to favorite songs, but still be surprised when they are never played the same way twice. Tickets $15 at ccanh.com.

related to Halloween and the skits on the walk. Homemade baked goods and apple cider provided by local orchards will be available for purchase as well.

The Enchanted Forest began in 1987 and was among the first woods-based Halloween walks. Smith said some of the volunteers and skit actors this year had gone through the Enchanted Forest when they were kids and want to help keep it alive for future generations. “‘Enchanted Forest’ is the perfect name for it; it’s truly enchanted,” she said.

“Sometimes we’ll hear the owls, and it’ll be close to a full moon, so it’s just a special, magical experience to be in the woods at night.”

IN/OUT CAR TALK

Rising belt lines explained Dear Car Talk: What is a “rising belt line”? I saw a car review recently on your cartalk.com website that said “... as today’s styles call for a rising belt line

By Ray Magliozzi ...” Thanks. — Ed Well, Ed, the longer a man is married, the higher his belt line gets. I’ve been married for over 40 years now, and my belt’s hiked up just a scooch below my Adam’s apple when I mumble, “Yes, dear.”

In automotive terms, the belt line is that line formed on the side of the car where the top of the metal part of the door meets the bottom of the window glass. That line extends from headlight to taillight along the side.

If you look at older cars, you’ll see that the belt line didn’t rise much from front to back; it was a pretty flat line. But if you look at cars today, the vast majority of them have belt lines that rise up and get higher from front to rear.

From a styling point of view, that gives the car more of a wedge shape, and makes it look as if it’s in motion even

when it’s standing still. From a practical point of view, it means you can no longer see bupkus out of the back window. Or sometimes out of the rear side windows.

Fortunately, this styling trend has coincided with the advent of backup cameras, rear-cross-traffic alert systems and blind-spot monitors. So instead of looking behind you, you increasingly count on electronics to tell you what’s there.

It takes some getting used to. And the American Chiropractors Association is opposed to it, because blind-spot monitors and backup cameras have been shown to prevent stiff necks, which cuts into business.

But the electronic aids do work. The problem is that not every car with a rising belt line offers those features, or offers them affordably. So for people with those cars, we have an older technology: accident insurance.

Dear Car Talk: I recently purchased a Kia Soul with an “Active ECO System” feature that can be turned on and off manually. The owner’s manual states, “The Active ECO System helps improve fuel efficiency by

controlling certain engine and transaxle system operating parameters.”

Why, then, is this vehicle not engineered so that this system is always active, to ensure better fuel efficiency? There must be some downside or tradeoff for turning on the Active ECO System, right?

— Emmanuel Yes: It turns your car into what is called “a dog.” Notwithstanding the offense given to man’s best friend, that’s a term used when a car is sluggish or underpowered.

There’s a direct correlation between how hard and how quickly you accelerate, and how much fuel you use.

So, what the Active ECO System does is it reduces the car’s power and acceleration. It does that by lowering the shift points in the transmission (so it shifts at, say, 1,800 rpm instead of 2,300) and by reducing the amount of acceleration you get from stepping on the throttle.

I don’t know how it does that in the Soul, but since all engine management is electronic these days, it can, for instance, change the parameters of the throttle position sensor and retard the engine timing. Basically, it makes the car a little less powerful and peppy.

And the reason they don’t use those parameters permanently is that they’re afraid people won’t buy the car if they find it “underpowered” compared with other cars they test drive.

It sounds like you don’t notice a difference, Emmanuel, when you engage the ECO setting. That means you’re a gentle, responsible driver anyway. And since you were driving gently in the first place, you might not see much of a mileage increase in the ECO mode.

Similarly, if you drive like an animal and you engage the ECO setting, you’re probably just going to stomp harder on the gas pedal to make up for the change in settings, and not see much benefit either. But if the Soul feels fine to you in the ECO mode, then just drive it that way. Why not? You may improve your mileage a bit.

And if you ever feel the need for a little more power -- if you’re on a highway on-ramp, or driving a cluster of guides up Mount Kilimanjaro, you can turn off the ECO setting until you’re back to your usual routine.

FOOD Spooky suppers Dine out, if you dare

By Allie Ginwala

News from the local food scene

aginwala@hippopress.com

By Allie Ginwala

There are three chances to get your monster mash on this Halloween season, including two murder mystery dinners and one Scary Scary Night.

food@hippopress.com

• Barley House comes to the coast: The Barley House Restaurant and Tavern (132 N. Main St., Concord, 228-6363) is set to open its second location in North Hampton next month, according to a press release. Remodeling began at the 43 Lafayette Road location last summer to create the restaurant’s Irish pub mixed with modern American tavern atmosphere. The Barley House was founded by chef/owner Brian Shea in 2000 and has since become known for its handcrafted burgers, beer selection and whiskey cocktails. See thebarleyhouse. com • Mixing up Dips: After over two years of business in downtown Concord, Dips Frozen Yogurt (138 N. Main St., Concord) will close its doors and become a mobile business. “For spring and summer 2016, [we] plan to offer a mobile service to set up what we had in our store in a smaller scale,” owner Nicolas Harriman told the Hippo. Due to high operating costs in the year round shop, Harriman decided to focus on bringing a selection of flavors and toppings to weddings, graduations and corporate events. See facebook.com/dipsfroyo for updates over the winter.

• Able brew: Following the flavors of the season, Able Ebenezer Brewing Company (31 Columbia Circle, Merrimack) announced in a press release that its harvest pumpkin ale Homecoming was released on Saturday, Oct. 17. It’s made with sugar pumpkins grown at Sunnycrest Farm in Londonderry; 240 pounds of pumpkin go into each 300-gallon batch. “A bevy of pumpkin ales have already come out, some as early as late July, which is easy to do in this age of artificial flavorings,” Head Brewer Mike Frizzelle said in the press release. “But we wanted this beer to represent home. Here in New Hampshire, the pumpkin harvest doesn’t begin until the end of September.” Visit ableebenezer.com.

• Growing the farmers market: The USDA announced that the Nashua Regional Planning Commission has received a Farmers Market Promotion Program grant to help increase access to fresh local food. Working alongside Great American Downtown, which operates the Nashua Farmers Market, NRPC will work to increase the capacity of the market to make it more sustainable and profitable for local vendors, according to 56

Murder Mystery Costume Beer Dinner

“We’ve done beer dinners, but never incorporated [it] with a theater style,” said Michael Conneely, owner of The Peddler’s Daughter.

Along with Shipyard Brewing and The Majestic Theatre Company, The Peddler’s Daughter welcomes guests to a four-course meal paired with seasonal Shipyard brews and a live performance of The Last Dance of Dr. Disco.

The night kicks off with a Pumpkinhead toast, one of Shipyard’s most popular beers, which Conneely said is one of the reasons they wanted to host a Shipyard dinner in autumn.

“Fall gravitates toward their beer selection,” he said. “They go in conjunction with the fall.”

The four-course meal includes Harissa shrimp and grits paired with Little Horror of Hops, a braised five-spiced pork belly, roasted butternut squash, leeks, parsnips and fall apple compote with Monkey Fist IPA and flan with cinnamon and caramel paired with Smashed Pumpkin.

“We wanted to go little lighter on dessert [so] we went with a custard flan and then serving that with a caramel sauce and some Eerie eats and events Casino Murder Mystery Dinner When: Tuesday, Oct. 27, from 5 to 9 p.m.

caramelized cinnamon sugar as well,” he said. “One of the biggest things for the fall is pumpkin [beer] with cinnamon sugar on the rim, so we’ve got a take on that.”

Between courses, Manchester’s Majestic Theatre Company will act and interact with the diners amongst the tables in a performance Development Director Karen Bessette described as “James Bond meets Saturday Night Fever with a little Austin Powers thrown in” in an email.

Since the performance is set in the 1970s (and it is a Halloween event, after all), guests are encouraged to dress to the theme and come in costume. “[This] gives them a chance to go out and have an adult night out without having to be out till 2 o’clock in the morning,” Conneely said.

Straying from the typical beer dinners held at the pub each quarter, Conneely said these meals are a great opportunity for chefs to get creative and for regular patrons to break away from the regular pub menu.

“This is our chance to try to go off the beaten path,” he said. “When we have beer dinners [we] think outside the box.”

Scary Scary Night

Weeks before Copper Door Restaurant is set to host its Halloween benefit for City Year, piles of ghoulish and ghastly decorations filled the basement at T-Bone’s Specialty Market.

Candelabras, spiderwebs, skeletons, coffins, dolls, a black carpet and the making of zombie paparazzi are just some of the items corporate chef and marketing manager Nicole Barreira said would transform Copper Door for its first Halloween event, Scary Scary Night.

“We decided it would be a cool way to get people educated on City Year and do something fun for Halloween,” she said.

“Anybody who is into a cool Halloween event, this is going to blow their socks off.”

The haunted mansion theme will be complete with a haunted photo booth, Miss Fortune Teller, live music from the band Crush and plenty of lighted pumpkins lining the walkway and zombies bumbling throughout the evening. Guests are invited to dress for costume success with prizes for the best couples, scariest and funniest costumes.

“We definitely want to feature some classics from Copper Door as well as something cool and funky and different,” Barreira said of the evening’s menu.

Heavy hors d’ouvres like assorted charcuterie, sweet and savory crudites and smoked salmon with crostini will be served along with apple sirloin spring rolls, ahi tuna wontons, chicken satay and cupcakes to take home in a goody bag.

Funky items like witch finger cookies, cake pops and white chocolate bark will also be available.

Casino Murder Mystery Dinner

Building on last year’s successful gangster-themed murder mystery show, this year the Front Door Agency will present a Casino Murder Mystery Dinner at LaBelle Winery.

“We decided to adopt a casino [theme] because we’re holding it on a Tuesday evening [and] we have full reign of LaBelle, the whole facility, so to take advantage of all that we decided to bring in some gaming machines,” Lucie Bryar, media relations manager for The Front Door Agency, said.

Craps, roulette and a blackjack table will be open for guests to play before sitting down to enjoy an original show from Bos-

the fundraiser will also feature hot and cold hors d’oeuvres and tables filled with items for the silent auction. A live auction will be held halfway through the evening, with items to bid on like a Hampton Beach rental, two Jet Blue tickets, two Southwest Airlines tickets, artwork and gift certificates to local restaurants and spas. One popular raffle is for the chance to win 52 bottles of wine.

“So that’s like one bottle a week for a year and it’s all different kinds of wine,” Greenglass said.

Proceeds from the fundraiser help support programs at the shelter like Quick Fix, which helps lower-income people who need their cats fixed or spayed, and Fix a Pit, which spays, neuters and provides vaccinations to the pitbulls of Manchester residents for free.

“We have one of the smallest staffs in New Hampshire,” Greenglass said. “Everything goes back to the animals.” ton’s Mystery Cafe.

“The audience participates,” she said.

“They’re going to be invited to put together some clues and solve the mystery.”

Packing a lot into one evening, Bryar said appetizers and gaming will precede the threecourse dinner served by LaBelle Winery, all aiming to be wrapped up by 9 p.m.

“It’s a night to come out, have some fun and support the work we do to prevent homelessness in the Nashua area,” she said.

Noting that the dinner takes place on a weeknight, Bryar said the attire is business casual so folks can head over right after work. However, she said, if someone did come dressed as Elvis, he wouldn’t be turned away.

Wine & Chocolate fundraiser

We’re Celebrating All Week

103539

Show your love of animals and indulge in fine wine and chocolate at Manchester Animal Shelter’s annual Wine & Chocolate fundraiser on Saturday, Oct. 24.

“It has grown so much over the years,” shelter manager Shelley Greenglass said in a phone interview. “I’ve seen it start out with like 100 people and I believe it’s up to about 250 people.”

While the number of attendees may have grown over the seven years of the event, the core components of the fundraiser have remained relatively the same.

“There is plenty of chocolate and wine going around,” she said.

One highlight for many attendees is the chocolate fountain from Van Otis Chocolates.

“They have tables worth of marshmallows and pretzels and strawberries and anything you can think of, it’s there to dip under the chocolate,” she said. “And eclairs.

It’s like chocolate, chocolate, chocolate.”

Janet DeJesus, customer service representative for Van Otis Chocolates, said the fountain is filled with the shop’s beloved Swiss fudge, which she said is well-suited for dipping all kinds of fruit and Rice Krispies bites.

“It’s just the ingredients they put into it are creamy and melt in your mouth,” she said of the Swiss fudge.

It wasn’t until he took a culinary class at Manchester School of Technology that James Plummer began to respect cooking not only as a means to get food, but as an artform. As executive sous chef for the recently reopened UnWine’d Key West Cafe and Grill (865 Second St., Manchester, unwined.net, 625-9463), Plummer has learned that things never get boring in a restaurant’s kitchen. In transitioning from a menu of American cuisine to one that also serves Jamaican, island-style fare, he’s taken up the challenge of incorporating new techniques, like making curry dough for Jamaican meat pies.

When: Wednesday, Oct. 28, from 6 to 8 p.m.

Where: Carl Amelia Room, St. Joseph Hospital, 172 Kinsley St., Nashua Cost: $10 fee includes dinner, discussion and Q&A with the experts Visit: sjhnh.org

lia Room at St. Joseph Hospital, guests will enjoy a colorful and healthy meal prepared by hospital Executive Chef David Bressler that follows the Mediterranean diet pyramid.

“The way the Mediterranean diet pyramid works … on the widest bar on the bottom is being physically active and enjoying meals with family and friends,” Bucciano said.

The next bar up covers produce, nuts, grains, legumes and olive oil, followed by seafood, then dairy, eggs and poultry, with meat and sweets in the top of the pyramid.

“So the meal at the event will be made up of parts of these items, a little bit of each of them from the pyramid,” she said.

Expect buffet-style dishes of grilled salmon with mango salsa and avocado, bulgur and pine nut crusted grilled chicken, farro pilaf, whole-grain baguettes with olive oil, fall fruits and veggies and tawny port poached pears with almonds for dessert.

After everyone has had a chance to enjoy the food spread, the dietitians will take turns talking about the origin of Mediterranean meals, the types of food that are involved, the health benefits of eating produce rich in antioxidants, suggestions for recipes and simple ways to incorporate the foods into daily life.

“It’s more about teaching people to shop from the perimeters of the supermarket where the fresh fruits and vegetables are, where the fish is, the lean cuts of meat and chicken,” Bucciano said. “[It’s] not big fancy meals where you need to plan all day, just simple quick ways to get a quick nutritious meal, and it doesn’t come out of a box.”

The first steps will include expanding the market, recruiting new local producers and implementing a SNAP system. “In the 2015 market season we began our path toward growing the Nashua Farmers Market, with the ultimate goal of reaching 50-60 vendors.

Our brick oven pizza is made with old world Neapolitan tradition.

Slow-cooked applesauce Apples, apples everywhere! It’s such a beautiful time of year in New Hampshire.

Aside from the gorgeous landscape and the plethora of fall-related activities, what I love most about this season is that people get so into it. Everyone I know goes applepicking. Haunted hayrides? Check. Mulled cider? Yes please. Pumpkin everything?

Obviously. People get so festive, and it’s the perfect warmup for Christmas.

My family and I went apple picking this past weekend (yes, along with your entire Instagram feed) and came back with quite a haul. My husband made apple crisp pie and we’ve been munching on apples nonstop, but there are still so many left! It’s funny how you think, “of course I need a full peck!” when you’re at the orchard but when you get home it feels like overkill.

Enter my slow cooker.

the stovetop, but let me tell you, this one is easier. Applesauce in general is a piece of cake, but slow-cooker applesauce is like lying on the couch while someone brings you that piece of cake. There is no peeling.

I repeat, no peeling.

Peeling an apple, apart from being a pain, actually removes much of its nutrients. I learned, from a February 2014 article on Huffington Post Healthy Living, that most of an apple’s fiber is contained in the skin.

In addition to fiber, the skin contains vitamins A and C, a fat-fighting compound called ursolic acid and the memory-booster quercetin. That is a whole lot of stuff in one little peel!

Enjoy this easy recipe for applesauce and let all the extra goodies make your body better.

Barrel Tasting event a success

By Stefanie Phillips

Apfelstrudel & Apfelkuchen!

In October we will donate $1 to the NH Food Bank for every pound of fresh pasta sold

One weekend, four wineries

103092

One of my favorite wine events is the annual Lakes Region Barrel Tasting, where area wineries open their doors for a weekend of special tastings, samples, vendors and more. This was my fourth time hitting the trail.

The list of participating wineries was smaller this year, but that didn’t take away from the great time our group had visiting them. Each had something new and exciting to share with guests this year. Here is a summary of the weekend, which was complemented by really nice fall weather.

Our first stop on Saturday was at Coffin Cellars in Webster. This is the second year that the event has been held in their new tasting room. Not only are the Austins great hosts, but they offer complimentary chowder and chili for guests, and as usual, it was delicious. Here, we tried their kiwi berry, cranberry pomegranate straight from the barrel along with the finished product, blackberry and their new dandelion wine.

The wine from the barrel was drinkable, but I prefer the aged version and picked up a bottle to enjoy later.

The dandelion wine is unlike anything I have tasted before and captures the unique qualities of the flower. Peter and Jamie told us about how labor-intensive this wine is, as it takes one gallon of petals (and just the yellow petals as the green part of the flower adds bitterness) to make one gallon of wine. You have to appreciate their hard work and persistence in making this wine.

Our next stop was Gilmanton Winery in Gilmanton. Here, Marshall Bishop, lovingly known as “the mad scientist,” fearlessly crafts several different wines from grapes and other fruit. The winery has grown significantly in the last couple years, so much so that the Bishops turned one of their carports into part of the winery so Marshall has more room to produce and store his wine. They are also offering more special events, including dinners and weddings. It has been nice to see their business prosper.

We tried the pumpkin pie wine first, made with Marshall’s special recipe that includes pumpkins and some plum wine as well. Next, we made our way to another section of the winery where we selected wines for tasting. I tried the green apple riesling (my favorite), raspberry merlot, chardonnay, watermelon, Reliance, cabernet and peach wines. Their list of offerings is constantly growing and changing, so it is always fun to see what Marshall is going to make next!

Our third stop on Saturday was at Hermit Woods Winery in Meredith. The winery was pretty busy upstairs, so we started with a tour and barrel tasting downstairs first.

Ken Hardcastle, co-owner and winemaker, had two wines for us to try directly from the barrel — a honey mead and Red Scare Oak. Both wines have some significant aging left to do, as Ken noted that these are “baby wines that will get better over time.”

Upstairs, I tried the 2013 Sparkling Harvest Apple, a new sparkling wine. It has a nice delicate effervescence and only one percent residual sugar, so it isn’t sweet but still notes the qualities of the apple varieties also used to make their Harvest Apple wine. They also have kiwi berry, three honey and heirloom crabapple versions.

We saved our final stop on the wine trail for Sunday and headed to Sap House Meadery in Center Ossipee. If you haven’t been, this place is definitely worth the trip to try their meads and see their new expanded location. They have increased the size of their winery to allow for more storage and production room. The old tasting room has been transformed into a pub-style setup and they now offer not only mead, but cocktails, beer and food.

After sampling their meads, we also had the chance to try their just-released Cowboy Nute’s Hard Honey Cider, named after a town legend, plus Nathaniel’s Reserve red wine blend and their seasonal cranberry sage mead. We decided to stay for lunch and had tacos, chili and delicious apple cider and vanilla bean mead.

If you missed this year’s barrel tasting event, plan to attend next year. It’s a great opportunity to learn about these wineries, meet the owners and try something new.

Yup, this is the same British band that did “Pulling Mussels (from the Shell)” in the early 1980s, when amiable but poor Beatles impersonations could get rubber-stamped record deals if only in the hope of warding off the angriest corps of the post-punk crowd. It’s incredible to think that these guys have had since 1998 — and about 50 “hot new genre” renaissances — to come up with something they haven’t done yet, something that couldn’t immediately be stamped with a “faux-jazz-twee-pop” tag, but things could be worse I suppose. That’s not to say we’re in great shape here, especially since the jump-off title track is “Mussels” wearing a fake beard, but there are some pretty coherent songwriting moments on things like “Nirvana” (despite — or maybe because of — the sitar), “Happy Days” (despite the mummified 1970s-radio references) and “Top of the Form” (despite its Nick Cave-style intro). A solid record with strong tunes that would have done well in 1993, maybe, but no harm or foul regardless. B — Eric W. Saeger Neon Indian, VEGA INTL. Night School (Mom + Pop Records)

Assuredly the inspiration for Tame Impala’s psych-chill, Alan Palomo’s Neon Indian project lured Pitchfork into its web by employing liberal doses of woozy phase-shift effects on the band’s debut LP Psychic Chasms back in 2009. This old 1970s-radio trick was quite the shiny object to Pitchfork’s writers, who couldn’t help but gush over its bouncy, harmless but (and this is the important part) amicably disjointed approach of Supertramp vs. Daft Punk fortified with throwback 1980s drum cheese. After an obligato intro that performs a few stupid backward-masking tricks, NI’s third LP lifts off with the summery “Annie,” Palomo’s cookie-cutter-nerd vocals ambling aimlessly over a Duran Duran-gone-ska rhythm — catchy but mindless stuff that you could use to convince any Gen-Xer that poofy hairsprayed bangs are back in style. “Street Level” reads like dubstep-funk in slow-mo, after which the gloves come off in “Smut!” wherein Palomo does an adequate Prince impression over a drunken circus beat you’d swear you’ve heard from Dre before. If the Justice crew had a deep longing for roller-rink dance-pop from 1986, it’d sound a lot like this. A- — Eric W. Saeger

• Hiya kids! Oh no, it’s that time again, isn’t it. What pop-music horrors will be unveiled this week? Nobody knowwws the trouble I’ve seen, nobody knows my … wait, hold it, a new Cheatahs album is coming out? Really? Yes, it looks that way! Mythologies is the name of this new album. These Cure-like guys are so awesome — anyone remember that weird old EP of theirs I reviewed a few years ago, which was actually a comp of their singles? One guy is from Germany, one’s from Canada, one’s from California, and one’s from England. Isn’t that awesome? Let’s go see if this new album is as cool as their older stuff. OK, here we are.

Looks like the single “Seven Sisters” is what the Cheatahs want me to hear, so that I will talk about how awesome they are, which I already did, right? Woah, this is too cool, some amazing shoegaze-prog, shiny guitars, a little part that sounds like Spanky and Our Gang — these guys still rule. You are urged to buy the new Cheatahs album.

• The new Puscifer record, Money Shot, is coming out. All I know about Puscifer is that they have a fierce PR person, I forget who, who’s been trying to get me to pay attention to them since forever, but something always happens to distract me, like watching a TV commercial all the way through to the end or needing to eat pie. So let’s find out why this PR person thinks Puscifer is so awesome, by live-reviewing this whatever-ness, right here and now. Hmm, will you look at that. Maybe I have talked about this before. It’s some side project from Maynard James Keenan, of Tool and A Perfect Circle! The first promo tune is “Grand Canyon,” which starts with a pretty neat Perfect Circle-like acoustic dirge flavored with a Middle Eastern vibe.

Then it speeds up, and then there’s some 8-bit glitch – OK, I like this tune, it’s awesome. What are the odds that I wouldn’t snarkcrush two songs in a row?

• Don’t leave, you guys, here’s a good candidate for hatin’, some band/person/whatever called Wolf Eyes, with their album I Am a Problem: Mind in Pieces! Ha ha, wait’ll I get my hands on … oh no, this can’t be happening, they’re a noise-industrial band from Detroit, and their old tunes are awesome. What did I do to deserve this! There are no previews, so I cannot say if it is “awesome yet sucky” or just “awesome.” I’ll just stick with a choked gurgling noise. I’m melting! Melting!

• One more coming out next week, an album from The Chills, called Silver Bullets — will this be bad, so we can kid around a little? Jeez, these New Zealand fellers haven’t had a hit in the U.S. since 1990’s “Heavenly Pop Hit,” which sounded like a lame Echo and the Bunnymen. Get over here, New Zealand band, so I can laugh with my friends here about this new record! Ha ha, look, they’re so cheap, no previews except for a live version of some tune that sounds like — spoiler alert — a lame Echo and the Bunnymen! Boo-yah, back in the saddle! — Eric W. Saeger

New book uncovers truths about Salem witch trials

By Kelly Sennott

ksennott@hippopress.com

The Salem witch trials aren’t new to literature, but Pulitzer Prize-winning author Stacy Schiff says her most recent take, The Witches, is different from the others, debunking myths while providing drama.

“It’s not thesis-driven. It’s really written toward the ideas,” Schiff said via phone last week.

“Unlike most [nonfiction] books, it builds like a thriller.”

Schiff is best known for Véra (Mrs. Vladimir Nabokov), for which she won the Pulitzer Prize in 2000, and Cleopatra: A Life, published in 2010. When she turned her attention to the Salem witch trials, she was attracted to the fact that it’s one of the few moments in American history when women played the central role. It also held a kind of puzzle to solve: how did this seemingly enlightened community execute innocents in the light of day?

The book’s release is Oct. 27, a couple days before her Music Hall event on Thursday, Oct. 29, at 7:30 p.m., which includes an author presentation and onstage interview with Virginia Prescott, host of NHPR’s Word of Mouth.

The trials, Schiff said, were “probably even zanier and loopier” than people realize, especially since most of what people know is from fiction, like Arthur Miller’s The Crucible.

Occurring over 9 months in 1692, it started with a minister’s daughter screaming and convulsing and ended with 19 hanged men and women and one elderly man crushed to death.

“The accusers themselves are primarily girls, and I think that surprises many of us,” Schiff said.

Other surprises may occur in the story’s context, which Schiff provides in The Witches. Massachusetts was without a charter at the time, which caused political unrest and had a huge bearing on how accusations were tried.

These events also occurred in the midst of the Indian Wars, and at the time, Massachusetts spanned across New England. Accusations happened in 24 different communities.

“It’s a fairly large cast of characters over a fairly large terrain, but what’s fascinating is how quickly word travels, and charting how the story develops — how the narrative begins with these girls twitching, and how it builds into a diabolical plot against the state,” Schiff said.

Schiff spent her researching time in Massachusetts, making trips to Salem, Danvers, Boston and North Andover. She delved into

diaries and day-to-day court records, which gave insight to the kinds of things people were tried for, and thus, cared about.

“This was heaven in terms of the detail and the texture,” Schiff said. “It showed how litigious they were and how they were really good grudge-holders.”

These were the details that helped her get inside characters’ minds and set the scene, for instance, when George Burroughs, the minister, walked into court for his trial, probably confident and unaware of his fate. No man nor minister had yet been hung for witchcraft. The goal was to make these people feel human again and for readers to sense what they were experiencing.

“These people are like us. As much as 17th-century New England feels like this very distant place, we too are prone to some of these behaviors,” Schiff said. “Many of these people sincerely believed what they were testifying was true, whether because they were brainwashed or had their ears boxed by the authority, or because at this point in the story, it just seemed so vivid to everyone, and so convenient for so many reasons,” Schiff said.

Schiff went through many drafts to find the balance of narrative and information.

“You have to withhold a certain amount.

You don’t want to hit the reader over the head with too much explanation early on,” she said. “I had to have this sense of suspense.

This sense of, ‘Why is this happening?’ The reader has to feel compelled to turn the page. I needed the reader to basically feel as if witchcraft could be possible and buy into the story these people were telling themselves. My job here was to make a crazy-seeming thing completely rational or explainable.”

In the end, the heroes are not necessarily who you expect them to be. There are surprising twists. But Schiff’s satisfied with her conclusion.

“I do think it makes sense, once you see it this way,” Schiff said.

Massacre on the Merrimack: Hannah Duston’s Captivity and Revenge in Colonial America,

by Jay Atkinson (Lyons Press, 217 pages) For the week of Oct. 19 Fresh off Indigenous People’s (barnesandnoble.com) Day – that’s Columbus Day for those who would rather celebrate genocidal European conquerors Killing Rea– Jay Atkinson reminds us that, gan: The Thanksgiving aside, life in 17th-century New Violent England was no picnic.

Massacre on the Merrimack is Atkinson’s Assault That vivid novelization of a real-life story of murChanged a der and revenge: how, in 1697, a 39-year-old wife and mother was abducted by mercenary Presidency Indians, watched the savage killing of her

by Bill infant daughter, was marched 100 miles (just O’Reilly above Concord), and then escaped her captors and murdered them and their families with their own tomahawks as they slept.

A More Perfect Union: What We the It could be a violent video game or a heartpounding movie, and may yet be if there are People Can Do to Reclaim Our Conany brains left in Hollywood. For now, it’s stitutional Liberties heart-breaking history told deftly by a Bosby Ben Carson ton University professor who grew up in Methuen, Mass., not far from a statue of Hannah Duston, Indian slayer.

he could, leaving behind his wife, her nurse and the baby. His goal, which seems harsh to the modern reader, was “to save one or two of the children.” But that was the mindset of the settlers, who were numbly accustomed to losing children to illness or violence.

The stoicism required of early English settlers helps to explain how Hannah Duston endured, ripped as she was from her sickbed by screaming Indians and marched through melting snow with one shoe, away from her burning cabin and toward an uncertain fate. But it doesn’t explain what happened two weeks later — how a housewife, who had done nothing remarkable before then, crept around the sleeping camp and bludgeoned and hacked 10 Indians — including six children — to death. How she and her companions returned to the bloody camp the next morning to take their scalps, then escaped would-be avengers in a harrowing canoe trip down the Merrimack, back to what remained of her home. (Again, Atkinson demands of readers a certain frontier-like detachment; details of the scalping process may be more than they want to know, as well as the grisly deaths many settlers suffered at the hands of the Indians.)

For all of the horror, Duston’s story is one of triumph, however unsettling, and knowing that she ultimately returns to Haverhill takes nothing away from the tension of this engrossing, taut story, which Atkinson, by virtue of painstaking research, owns.

Atkinson’s hometown was once part of Haverhill, where Duston’s homestead was located. As a child, he was intrigued by the statute in G.A.R. Park, “a green, oxidized figure of a stern-looking frontier woman with a hatchet in her right hand, her head angled downward and slightly toward the left.” A few

years ago, he began researching her story in the Haverhill library and walking the woods around the old Duston property, and he “hiked, biked and snow-shoed” much of the route the Indians and their captors took through New Hampshire. He also tried to replicate her journey home, taking overnight canoe trips down the Merrimack in late March. (“We didn’t fear being overtaken by the Abenaki, but the river was vast, bone chilling, and clogged with floating ice and debris.”)

Atkinson supplements Duston’s story with historical asides rich in context. He departs from the narrative to explain, for example, the genesis of Indian abductions, a trade directed from the Quebec chateau of the remorseless French general Louis de Baude, a.k.a. Count Frontenac, and the astonishing rule of the Indian chief Passaconaway, who, when nearing death at over 100 years of age, exhorted “Peace, peace with the white man!”

In Massacre on the Merrimack, Atkinson revives an important facet of New England history that was growing faint with age. Inasmuch as it is possible three centuries after the fact, he connects all the dots, with minor literary annoyances (his tendency to call Hannah by her first name, her last, or the Puritan-era moniker “Goodwife Duston” — with no consistency — grates).

“There is no disputing that Hannah’s story is the story of the frontier, in microcosm: an incursion by European settlers onto native lands, the savage response of the original inhabitants, and a solution perpetuated by the newcomers that led to the eradication of the Indians,” he writes. “Bring Hannah’s particular ordeal to life, and American history becomes something palpable and real.”

Atkinson accomplishes this masterfully in imagining what really happened to the oxidized woman with the axe. In doing so, he displaces another. Lizzie Borden who? A — Jennifer Graham

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Bridge of Spies (PG-13)

Tom Hanks stars in Bridge of Spies, a mix of Cold War legal drama and Cold War thriller from director Steven Spielberg.

Tom Hanks + Steven Spielberg? I’m pretty sure they’re putting names on Oscars already.

Rudolf Abel (Mark Rylance) is picked up by the FBI and charged with being a Soviet spy. A man with a British accent and ties to Russia, Abel is shown as saying nearly nothing in his own defense and refusing to cooperate in any way with American intelligence officials. (I have a general sense of the U2 spy plane incident but basically I’m going on the movie’s version of history for purposes of this review.)

Wanting to show the world that everybody gets a fair trial in America, the American Bar Association picks James Donovan (Tom Hanks) to represent Abel.

Though working primarily on insurance matters when we first meet him, Donovan is said to have worked on the Nuremberg trials. Though everyone — his law partner (Alan Alda), the judge, the FBI officials, a CIA agent who follows him around — wants Donovan to pursue fairly but without a lot of vigor his representation of Abel, Donovan mounts a serious defense, attempting to get evidence thrown out because of lack of search warrant and rebuffing attempts to get him to pass along privileged information to the CIA. Donovan eventually takes pieces of Abel’s case all the way to the Supreme Court, to the detriment of his own career and his family’s safety during this most heated age of Red Scare.

Meanwhile, the Air Force and CIA are beginning the use of U2 spy planes. The long-winged planes could fly at extremely

high altitudes but still take detailed photos of the ground (and Soviet military installations, etc.) below. The pilots flying the planes are told that if something goes wrong they are to blow up the planes and, if capture seems likely, do themselves in as well so that neither the technology in the plane nor the information in their heads winds up in Soviet hands. When Francis Gary Powers (Austin Stowell) is shot down, he does neither, and both the pieces of the plane and himself are captured.

Despite the hang-’em-high attitudes of many Americans at the time when it came to the issue of Soviet spies, Donovan — at least as the movie shows it — is able to talk the judge in Abel’s case into giving him merely an extended prison term instead of the electric chair. What if, Donovan argues in an off-the-books meeting with the judge, one day we need to use Abel as a bargaining chip to get one of our guys back?

Black Mass (R) Johnny Depp, Joel Edgerton.

Interesting story bits, a somewhat-better-than-average Depp performance and a sprinkling of Benedict Cumberbatch are all not enough to give this James “Whitey” Bulger biopic (sorta) a story that pulls together into something bigger than the sum of its parts. C+ The Intern (PG-13) Anne Hathaway, Robert De Niro.

This Nancy Meyers’ joint features De Niro reentering the workforce at age 70 as an intern at an Internet company. OK-ish chemistry between Hathaway and De Niro and a few interest-

HIPPO | OCTOBER 22 - 28, 2015 | PAGE 64

ing ideas about the modern workforce do not add up to a movie’s worth of fun. C *The Martian (PG-13) Matt Damon, Jeff Daniels.

An astronaut is stranded on Mars and has to science the heck out of the situation in order to survive the years until NASA can organize a rescue. Not just a fun movie that nicely blends humor and tension, The Martian is also an ode to science and how cool it can be. Perfect proSTEM propaganda for your middle-schooler. A Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (PG-13) Dylan O’Brien, Giancarlo Esposito.

Perhaps it is this foresight, along with his general even-handedness, that gets Donovan summoned by Allan Dulles (Peter McRobbie), head of the CIA. Overtures from the Soviets — or maybe the East Germans or maybe the Soviets by way of East Germany — seem to indicate that they are interested in trading Powers for Abel. The U.S. government wants no official part of such a trade, though they do want a trade to happen and send Donovan to Berlin in hopes that he can bring Powers home.

Also meanwhile, American student Frederic Pryor (Will Rogers) gets stuck on the Soviet side of the Berlin wall. They — though exactly who “they” is seems in some question — are holding him as a suspected spy. Though the U.S. government is only after Powers, Donovan, moved by Pryor’s youth and the violence he sees in Berlin, tries to maneuver the deal to include Pryor in the trade as well.

OK, sure, you have a movie from Spielberg starring Hanks so you’re going to get some moments of heavy-handedness. The cross cuts that mix scenes of Donovan’s elementary school kids watching duck-andcover safety videos in with the spy stuff are not the most subtle things ever. Nor are the scenes of Donovan arguing before the Supreme Court (cue the liberty speech!) or a scene of people on a Berlin train watching an attempted wall crossing. But both actor and director do this stuff so well it’s actually hard to fault it. Yes, there are a lot of bad hot dogs out there. But when the master of hot dogs makes a nearly perfect hot dog, you can’t blame it for all the cruddy versions that exist.

And Spielberg really is a master. He knits events that happen across several years and in different storylines together into one narrative that feels neither rushed nor drawn out. And as much of a quiet hero as he makes Donovan, he never turns him into a saint, never tips over into the cheesiness that I suspect would accompany, say, the Aaron Sorkin version of this story.

Also helping to keep Donovan grounded is Hanks. He is also a master, a master at making ordinary people seem layered and fascinating and at being Tom Hanks while still being James Donovan too. Hanks will never be a character actor who dissolves into a role — he’s just too Tom Hanks for that — but he still makes James Donovan a singular person and not just a variation on previous Hanks roles.

Of course, as good as Hanks is, Rylance is better. Rylance, who I know from his excellent performance as Thomas Cromwell in Wolf Hall (watch it now!), does dissolve into his part. Abel says very little, does very little. But Rylance makes Abel’s every move a note on who this man is. Even

This second outing of the Maze Runner YA dystopia series is a more energetic, enjoyable movie than the first thanks in part to the addition of grown-ups and locations that aren’t the overly complicated Maze. C+

Full shriek gothic horror is on the menu in Crimson Peak, a wonderfully big, swoony tale of darkness and romance from Guillermo del Toro.

Edith Cushing (Mia Wasikowska) sees dead people. Not polite psychologist types; she sees rotting corpses in decaying hoop skirts who whisper sinister warnings. This first happens to Edith as a little girl, after the death of her mother by cholera in 18something Buffalo, New York. No wonder, then, that grown Edith writes ghost stories — the ghost is the metaphor for the past, she explains — and admires Mary Shelley. Her buddy Alan McMichael (Charlie Hunnam), an eye doctor with a fondness for Sherlock Holmes, even tries to impress Edith with his gen-u-ine ghost photographs from England. But Alan and his spooky pics are no match for the dreamy moodiness of Baron Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston). He and his super creepy sister Lucille (Jessica Chastain) are in America to get funding for their family’s mine, from which comes a superstrong red clay. Thomas has created a special machine to get at previously hard to reach veins of the stuff, but Edith’s father Carter Cushing (Jim Beaver) is not impressed by it or by Thomas. Though Thomas is apparently meant to court Alan’s snooty sister, he takes a shine to Edith. Carter is not so keen on this budding relationship and even hires a private investigator to look into the Sharpes.

Of course, there is no more delicious relationship in a gothic horror than the one disapproved of by family, so soon Edith has followed Thomas back to his ancestral home in some wind-swept, isolated corner of England — Terrorlandia, maybe? There she finds the sulky Lucille constantly interrupting tender moments between husband and wife, a house that is crumbling apart and sinking into the red mud and, on occasion, blood-soaked apparitions warning her of some mysterious horror.

Wonder if the This Old House team has ever tackled that problem. Maybe in the upcoming episode about foundations.

Crimson Peak (R)

even more in the bonkers trailer for 2011’s Jane Eyre that made it look like some weird hybrid of fancypants literature and Twilight fan fiction? If your answers to those two questions were “yes” and “emphatically yes!” then this movie is definitely your cup of tea (your — spoiler! — sinister cup of tea).

(Credit to Hippo’s Dan Szczesny, by the way, on the description of the Jane Eyre trailer. Go watch it. It’s about as accurate to Jane Eyre as the spoof “Frozen as horror movie” video is to that movie.)

Guillermo del Toro is not a guy who likes to meta and snark his way through horror.

He travels in the other direction; he puts his actresses in high-neck Victorian nighties, keeps a constant background soundtrack of shrieks and moans and spins his yarns in artfully decaying gothic mansions. He, visually and narratively speaking, Goes For It. Other directors might be afraid that having a house basically ooze red, bloodlike goo from walls and floors is many miles past too much, but del Toro leans into it and makes it work. He dazzles you with his audacity and somehow uses the bigness of his very traditional, old-school horror — the horror in the style of Edith’s hero Mary Shelley — to freak you out way more than the shaky-cam night vision jump scares that seem to be the thing in mainstream horror at the moment.

In addition to being scary and beautiful in ways that Tim Burton can only dream of, Crimson Peak is smart, doing smart things with its central character. She is both the audience surrogate in the weird Sharpe mansion and a kind of superhero, with powers nobody around her has. She is not infallible but nor is she the shrinking violet bookworm the movie’s villain expects she is. Several elements in this movie, including a surprising sex scene that manages to be both chaste and shockingly direct, are just itching for a good unpacking, as my lit professors used to say, in some essay on female agency. But in a good way! Don’t let the cleverness of the movie’s approach to a female lead or the references to late 19th-century literature, science and mysticism scare you away from what is a cracking good yarn.

If modern horror is too quippy, too slashy or too lacking in spooky spookiness for you, Crimson Peak is your Halloween alternative. As with Pan’s Labyrinth and Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, this movie is another example of Guillermo del Toro’s genius when it comes to creating dark fairy tales. A Rated R for bloody violence, some sexual content and brief strong language.

Directed by Guillermo del Toro and with a screenplay by del Toro & Matthew Robbins, Crimson Peak is an hour and 59 minutes long and distributed by Universal Pictures.

if the rest of the movie fell flat, it would be worth it for Rylance’s performance alone.

But Bridge of Spies does not fall flat. It is a solid work of historical drama, with just the right amount of thrills and indirect commentary on the world of today as well as the top-notch storytelling technique (cinematography, editing, scoring) you expect from a Spielberg movie. ARated PG-13 for some violence and brief strong language. Directed by Steven Spielberg and Matt Charman and Ethan Coen & Joel Coen, Bridge of Spies is two hours and 21 minutes long and distributed by Dreamworks.

George Winston comes to Tupelo

By Michael Witthaus

mwitthaus@hippopress.com

From the Merrimack Valley to Mount Washington, fall is in the air — a perfect time to experience George Winston’s musical interpretations of the seasons. His soothing piano compositions helped launch ethereal Windham Hill Records in the early 1980s.

On his current tour, Winston follows autumn into winter across two sets; each show is a solo performance.

“That’s what the music wants,” the pianist said recently. “That’s my temperament anyway.”

Philosophically, Winston’s one-man show is more than a sum of parts.

“There’s me — what I want to say about a season or a song — then the instrument will show me its tricks,” he said. “Don’t play too many notes, play it fast … the music will always tell me. It never fails.”

A third element is the tension between “how the song itself wants to be played and how I want it,” Winston said. “So it’s almost like a trio — the instrument, the song itself and me. Even if it’s a song I put together, that’s still the thing.”

Winston’s musical influences are wideranging. At a young age, he was an avid listener, his tastes running towards jazz organists like Booker T. and Jimmy Smith.

He was also a big fan of pianist Vince Guaraldi’s Peanuts soundtracks. Then he listened to the first Doors album in 1967.

“I put it on and ‘Break on Through’ started up,” he said. “It was light years beyond anything I had ever heard. I said, ‘I gotta get an organ and play in a band.’ It was that immediate.”

Four years later, Winston had another epiphany, when he heard a series of solo stride piano recordings made in 1929 by Fats Waller. Both spare and lively, Waller’s sound captivated Winston and instantly altered his musical course.

“I just left my electric stuff in some garage somewhere,” he said. “I was so past it that I didn’t even sell it.”

Winston came up with a signature style he dubbed folk piano.

George Winston When: Friday & Saturday, Oct. 23-24, 8 p.m.

Where: Tupelo Music Hall, 2 Young Road, Londonderry Tickets: $50 at tupelohall.com There will be a canned food drive at the show for New Hampshire Food Bank.

“Stride was hard to play,” he said. “I was trying to get to it the way people pick guitar ballads; folk songs that are simple.”

In 1972, he made Ballads and Blues for John Fahey’s Takoma Records; it was little noticed. Success came in 1980, when William Ackerman recruited Winston to help launch his new label.

With four LPs spread across the decade — Autumn, Winter into Spring, December, and Summer — Winston became Windham Hill’s flagship artist.

Much to his chagrin, many referred to his music as New Age jazz.

“When I switched to piano, jazz didn’t work for me anymore [and] folk piano did,” he said. “I love the tradition, but I’m not a jazzer on the piano. I’ll do Vince Guaraldi and he was a jazz pianist, but I’ll do an R&B-tinged solo, not a jazztinged solo.”

Winston has occasional forays with other instruments. He made an album of Hawaiian slack key guitar music based on the children’s novel Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes with actress Liv Ullman, and a collection of harmonica solos. “I heard the late Sam Hinton and realized harmonica is played solo, as is slack key guitar,” he

said. “I like instruments I don’t have to go to, [that] I can just have with me.”

His 40-year output includes an album of Doors covers and two volumes of Guaraldi’s music. He’d love to do the same with Zappa, but translating the late genius is challenging.

“There’s no Frank Zappa tune I don’t want to play, but I’ve only gotten two to work,” he said.

“With the Doors, I have gotten about 30 to work; Vince Guaraldi about 65. and Professor Longhair about 15. But Frank’s are especially hard.”

Though Winston won a Grammy in 1996, he cares litGEORGE WINSTON tle about the honor — and not because it was for Best New Age Album.

“There are only two things that are real — the player and the listener,” he said.

“Sales, awards, they mean less than nothing to me, I have no consciousness of their existence. They’re just imaginary agreements, like borders of countries, deities, states, presidents, money awards. Hug a friend, that’s real. Some people have the personality for those kinds of things, but I don’t. For me it’s just working on the music and who I am going to play it for. There really is nothing else.”

There are only two things that are real — the player and the listener. Sales, awards, they mean less than nothing to me...

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

Recess games

Two suburban Minneapolis elementary schools this fall hired a consulting firm to advise officials on kids’ recess, and the leading recommendations (promoting “safety” and “inclusiveness”) were elimination of “contact” games in favor of, for example, hopscotch. Some parents objected; recess, they said, should be more freestyle, unstructured. (More consultants’ advice: De-emphasize refereed “rules” games in favor of monitors who simply praise effort.) One Minnesota principal noted improvement — fewer fights and nurse visits now — but as one parent said, her child feels that recess is no longer really “playing.”

Latest human rights

Kentucky’s government ethics law bars gifts from lobbyists to legislators, but state Sen. John Schickel filed a federal lawsuit in September claiming that he has a constitutional (First Amendment) right to receive them. (The laws were passed after the FBI found several Kentucky politicians selling their votes.) And in May, officials of the American Gaming (gambling) Association and the Association of Club Executives complained to the Pentagon that a threatened prohibition of the use of government credit cards at casinos and strip clubs violated card users’ constitutional rights, in that protected activities (such as business strategy meetings) take place at those venues.

meat out of the freezer to thaw, made some coffee, started a fire in the fireplace, did some laundry, put out hay for the horses, and even wrote some touchingly personal notes in the resident’s diary (“Today was my first full day at the ranch.” “I have to remind myself to just relax and take my time.”) In court, he apologized. “I made a lot of mistakes.” “Beautiful ranch. Gorgeous. I was driving (by) and I just turned in. Beautiful place.”

New! Amazing! Awesome!

Low-benefit (but Internet-connected!) devices now on sale (from February MacLife magazine): HAPIfork (Bluetooth-connected, alerts you if you’re eating too fast); iKettle (heat water at different temperatures for different drinks, controlled by phone); an LG washing machine that lets you start washing while away (provided, of course, that you’ve already loaded the washer); Kolibree “smart toothbrush” (tracks and graphs “brushing habits”). Also highlighted was the Satis “smart toilet,” which remotely flushes, raises and lowers the seat, and engages the bidet — features MacLife touts mainly as good for “terrorizing guests.”

The job of the researcher

Scientists have somehow determined that rats dream about where they want to go in the future. Dr. Hugo Spiers of University College London (and colleagues) inferred as much in a recent eLife article based on how neurons in the rodent Can’t possibly be true Florida Justice: Orville “Lee” Wollard, brain’s hippocampus fire up in certain now 60, was convicted of aggravated patterns. They discovered similar patassault in 2008 after he fired one “warning shot” into a wall of his home during an argument with his daughter’s boyfriend.

Believing his shot defused a dangerous situation (the boyfriend had once angrily ripped sutures from Wollard’s stomach), Wollard had declined a plea offer of probation and gone to trial, where he lost and faced a law written with a 20-year minimum sentence. Florida has since amended the law to give judges discretion about the crime and the sentence, but Gov. Rick Scott and the state’s clemency board have refused to help Wollard, who must serve 13 more years for a crime he perhaps would not even be charged with today.

Inexplicable

Christopher Hiscock, 33, got only a year’s probation after his guilty plea for trespassing on a ranch in Kamloops, British Columbia, in September — because it was a trespass with panache. Since no one had been home, Hiscock fed the cats, prepared a meal, shaved and showered, took

terns when a rat is asleep just before conquering a food “maze” as when he awakens and actually gets to the food (as if it plotted by dream). (Buried lede: Rats have dreams.)

Latest religious messages

The Power of Prayer: (1) Two men with handguns walked through an open door of a Philadelphia home in July and demanded drugs and cash from the three women inside, threatening pistol-whippings. According to a Philly.com report, a 55-year-old woman in the home immediately burst into loud prayer, causing the gunmen to flee empty-handed. (2) Police in Bellevue, Ohio, initially believed that texting behind the wheel was what caused Marilyn Perry, 62, to crash and badly injure another driver. However, in July, she and her lawyer convinced a judge that she was “looking down” as she drove only because she was praying over “personal problems.”

Least competent criminals

Paul Neaverson, 61, was convicted in September in England’s Maidstone Crown Court for a robbery his own lawyer called “ridiculous.” He had gone to a NatWest bank in Rainham, pointed a knife at a cashier, and demanded that money be placed “on the table” or “into his account” at NatWest, according to the police report. Earlier, he had walked out of an HSBC bank when the teller balked at his robbery demand. He was sentenced to two years in prison.
