It’s time to come home to New Hampshire. You’ve gone to college some other place, been working some other place and, yes, you’ve been enjoying the warmer weather. But the time has come to return. Maybe you’ve met the right person and want to have kids. Maybe you haven’t but are starting to get serious about that. For starters, it’s practical. Your folks are here, and who is going to help you when your kid is sick and you need someone to watch Timmy while you’re at work? Your folks — trust me, cheapest option by far. Also, New Hampshire has a very high quality of life. Violent crime is low in New Hampshire. Very, very low. It’s half the rate of Massachusetts and half the rate of the national average. It’s even lower than Utah. Housing is affordable. Median sale prices in most towns is less than $200,000. Yes, our property taxes are high, but there isn’t any sales or income tax. Take a look at your check stub, California residents. And if you’re looking to rent, more rentals are coming on to the market. The unemployment rate is less than 4 percent. In places like Manchester, it’s at 3 percent. That’s basically no unemployment according to economists. With emerging tech businesses hiring and a robust medical field, New Hampshire has lots of job openings. Plus, keep in mind your aging parents will need lots of services. Think of the service businesses you could start! Sure, you say, there are jobs, there is my family, there are reasonably priced homes, but are there things to do, and can I meet a nice mate? Did I mention culture? We now have plenty of it. From the Flying Monkey in Plymouth to Tupelo in Londonderry to the dozens (maybe hundreds) of live music venues across the southern tier of the state, there is tons to do. We have thousands of restaurants — many of them great. We have great places to get outside and enjoy the warmer weather or make the most out of the cold. Just read Hippo any week and see the hundreds of things to do or use our app (hipposcout.com). New Hampshire now even has its own wineries, breweries and distilleries. And if all that doesn’t convince you, think about how cheap our booze is. Cheapest in the nation and you can buy it on the highway. I bet you forgot how cool that is. Come on home.

NEWS & NOTES Mayoral races
In the race for mayor in Concord, incumbent Mayor Jim Bouley is running for his fifth term while political newcomer Paul Brogan is Bouley’s sole challenger. The Concord Monitor reported one of Bouley’s priorities if re-elected would be economic development. Brogan says he would work to change the public perception of city government. Brogan told the Monitor he wants to encourage more civic engagement among Concord residents, in the form of voting or running for office themselves. Bouley touted his record as a fiscal hawk and said he told the Monitor wants to make the city more businessfriendly. Bouley was a five-term city councilor before being first elected mayor in 2007. Brogan is a blogger for Patch.com and teaches a film class at Granite State College. The election is Nov. 3. New voters are registering as Nashua nears its election. The Union Leader reported City Hall saw an influx of registrants and officials hope for better turnout than the 21 percent who voted in the recent primary. The race is between Alderman-at-large and former mayor Jim Donchess and nine-year Greater Nashua Chamber of Commerce President Chris Williams. Donchess served as mayor from 1984 to 1991 and previously as an alderman. He’s been an alderman at large since 2012. Donchess told the UL he wants to improve local schools, bring in new downtown housing options and help address the opioid epidemic. Williams, 40, is 26 years younger than Donchess and says his relative youth is an advantage. He told the UL he wants to expand economic development and broaden the tax base. Williams also says his budget would be lean but he would invest in the police department to tackle the drug problem. Both candidates would champion passenger rail from Boston. The election is Nov. 3. The candidates for Manchester’s next mayor recently held their fifth public forum. The Union Leader reported incumbent Mayor Ted Gatsas and Alderman Joyce Craig exchanged verbal jabs
and highlighted their differing viewpoints. Craig said she supported the question on the ballot to make the welfare commissioner an appointed position, rather than elected. Gatsas said the charter’s requirements for campaign filings should change. The candidates argued about the teachers’ contract; Gatsas said the city would need to find the money to pay for it, while Craig argued the contract was bipartisan and future expenses can’t be predicted without knowing what the consumer price index will be. Gatsas is seeking a fourth term, while this is Craig’s first run for mayor. She is a three-term alderman and a former school board member. The election is Nov. 3
Death penalty appeal
The lawyer for Michael Addison, the convicted killer of Manchester police officer Michael Briggs, has filed his appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court. The Union Leader reported Addison’s lawyer is arguing New Hampshire’s death penalty law constitutes cruel and unusual punishment because of the chemicals called for in the lethal injection procedure and the likelihood of the hanging method used if the chemicals cannot be obtained. In his filing, he also argued the penalty process in 2008 was affected by the trial judge not allowing a 2006 recording to be played of Addison allegedly showing sympathy and regret for shooting Briggs.
Drug czar fate
During a meeting of the Governor’s Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention, Treatment and Recovery to determine how it would spend its $6.7 million budget, the commission voted to keep funding the controversial “drug czar” position. The AP reported the governor’s senior director of substance abuse and behavioral health, Jack Wozmak, will have most of his salary paid by the commission’s budget. His first year is being paid for by a grant from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation. In the 2015-2016 state budget, the drug czar’s office will get $123,000 in state money and $61,000 from
HIPPO | OCTOBER 29 - NOVEMBER 4, 2015 | PAGE 4
the charitable foundation. That includes salary, benefits and administrative costs. While only one commission member was against maintaining the position, many expressed doubts about Wozmak’s effectiveness or called for more accountability and oversight.
Boobytrap house sold
The once barricaded and boobytrapped former properties of Ed and Elaine Brown in Plainfield were sold to businessman James Hollander of Plainfield. The AP reported the 100-acre complex at the center of a 2007 standoff with federal agents sold for $205,000 and Elaine Brown’s dental office sold for $415,000. The couple barricaded themselves in the complex for nine months after being convicted of tax evasion. Federal authorities couldn’t guarantee the property, which featured escape routes, wasn’t still armed with explosives or other boobytraps.
Jack Flanagan for CD2?
Republican House Majority Leader Jack Flanagan of Brookline is considering running against Democratic Congresswoman Annie Kuster for the 2nd Congressional District seat. The AP reported Flanagan says he met with representatives from the National Republican Congressional Committee in Washington, D.C., to talk about a possible bid. He plans to talk with voters over the next few weeks to decide whether he

The first New Hampshire Pumpkin Fest held outside Keene went off without a hitch in Laconia, according to town officials. NHPR reported police were pleased with the flow of traffic and parking lots, and there were no riots like the one that occurred in Keene outside the festival grounds last year that prompted Keene’s city council to vote against hosting it this year. Laconia and Motorcycle Week organizers stepped in to host it instead. Pumpkin Fest organizers wanted to beat its record of 30,500 lighted jack-o-lanterns, but they had less than a third of the goal.
The New Hampshire Liquor Commission is going back to court in November over the warehouse contract bidding process lawsuits that resulted in a $2.5 million settlement paid to Law Warehouses of Nashua. The Union Leader reported a second losing bidder, XTL-NH, is making much the same case Law made: that the NHLC rigged the process by giving the winner, Exel, inside information and favorable timelines. The 20-year contract was worth $200 million. Law held the former contract for 40 years. XTL-NH’s lawyer says the company spent $318,000 to prepare the bid, and they were promised an “open and honest” process. The state says no such promise was ever made.

Bengazi hearing What many critics believed was a theatrical performance meant to damage Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid turned into a boon for the candidate, whose campaign reported the hour after the hearing was its best fundraising hour, mostly from new donors giving $250 or less, according to McClatchy news service. Multiple news sources said Clinton was unflappable during the marathon 11-hour hearing. Democrats winnow field Three contenders have removed themselves from consideration to be the next Democratic presidential nominee. CNN and other news agencies reported Former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb suspended his campaign on Oct. 20 but left the door open for a possible independent bid. The next day, Vice President Joe Biden, who was third in the polls, said he would not run for president. He later told 60 Minutes that his decision was based on his poor chances of winning, not lack of desire. On Oct 23, former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee dropped out. CNN reported he made his announcement at the DNC’s annual Women’s Leadership Forum and called it a “good week for Secretary Clinton.” Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley and Harvard professor Lawrence Lessig are still in the race. Bush cuts staff Republican candidate Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida, has slashed his payroll by 40 percent, according to an internal memo obtained by Reuters. The cuts are meant to save the campaign money and focus efforts on early voting states such as New Hampshire, Iowa, South Carolina and Nevada.

How New Hampshire catches killers Why the state attorney general’s office takes point on homicide cases
Homicides in New Hampshire Since 2005, the 2011-2013 biennium has seen the most homicides
By Ryan Lessard
news@hippopress.com
Every murder case in the Granite State — including the most recent killing of the 62-year-old Union Leader ad rep Denise Robert — makes it to the desk of one man: Senior Assistant Attorney General Jeff Strelzin. In New Hampshire, the attorney general’s office is required by law to spearhead those investigations, a somewhat unusual process for prosecuting murder cases.
How it works in NH
In the days following the Aug. 30 shooting of Denise Robert, attorneys from the Department of Justice were at the scene on of the crime in Manchester’s North End. “I think in the majority of states, the attorney general actually does not do any on-the-ground prosecution work. Our office does, and I think that’s actually less typical,” Strelzin said. In most states, like Massachusetts, the district attorney handles homicides, just as they would any other felonies. “Unlike other cases prosecutors work on where the police investigate, make an arrest and send it all to the prosecutor’s office, we actually go out and work from the start with detectives on the case and we help put together the case from the very beginning,” Strelzin said. That means traveling all over the state, working with local police and county prosecutors. Strelzin doesn’t work alone. He has a team of usually around 10 attorneys with typically two prosecutors assigned to each murder case. “We go out to the scenes, where the crime scene is, where the bodies are, we sometimes go to autopsies, but we don’t physically collect the evidence and we don’t do the interviews with the suspects,” Strelzin said. Police detectives do all that. However, the prosecutors often observe interviews or sit in

most reason why the attorney general leads homicide investigations is that it’s the law. RSA 7:6 states “The attorney general shall act as attorney for the state… in the prosecution of persons accused of crimes punishable with death or imprisonment for life.” In other words, homicide. The original law outlining the powers and duties of the office was codified in 1881 and last updated in 2007. Strelzin also says geography is key. It would be untenable to do what he’s doing now in a state like California, with the travel requirements alone. According to UNH law professor Buzz Scherr, the most likely reason for a centralized system of homicide casework is a combination of New Hampshire being a relatively small state and homicide cases being long, complicated and expensive. “As a general proposition, homicide cases, in terms of investigation and in terms of prosWhy do it this way? Ever the lawyer, Strelzin says the fore- ecution, tend to cost more money than less
on them. “The way it works in New Hampshire, in some of the larger jurisdictions like Manchester, Nashua, Concord, Salem and I think just a few others, those law enforcement agencies handle their own homicide investigations [while] working with us,” Strelzin said. For all the smaller communities that don’t have the capability to investigate murders, the State Police Major Crime Unit is called in. And the police remain active in the investigation of a homicide case from cradle to grave. “Every case has a lead prosecutor and a lead detective, so those leads are constantly in communication with each other,” Strelzin said. Right now, a Manchester detective is in constant communication with Assistant Attorney General Geoffrey Ward as they try to solve Robert’s murder.

serious felonies,” Scherr said. He says big cities like New York have hundreds of lawyers in the district attorney’s office to prosecute all felonies, including murders. “And they can afford to do that,” Scherr said. “Even a city like Albany in upstate New York, the district attorney’s office tends to prosecute their own cases.” But a small city like Laconia, Scherr says, cannot typically afford it. So, the best local option is at the state level. “You get better resourced and more reliable prosecutions with the attorney general’s office doing it rather than the county attorney’s office doing it,” Scherr said. The cost of a homicide case can range widely based on an array of factors like evidence processing, lab testing, expert witnesses and the legal expenses that go into an often prolonged trial, sentencing and appeal process. Another benefit the attorney general brings to the table, besides greater resources, is fewer turnovers among the staff compared to the county level.
Does it work?
Scherr says there may be some weaknesses with a system like this. For instance, county attorneys have more experience in that jurisdiction. “So they know the police officers and the departments better than the attorney general’s office, which some people say parachute in to do the homicide case and then fold up their parachute and go home after the case is over,” Scherr said. And, at least in theory, if there was ever
a scenario in which the state’s fairly steady murder rate were to skyrocket, it would overburden Strelzin and his team. Strelzin says the 40-year average in the state is about 20 homicides a year. In his experience, it ranges from 17 to 25. And Scherr, who served as a public defender from 1988 to 1992, says the murder rate hasn’t much changed since then. But that doesn’t mean the homicide unit is sitting around waiting for dead bodies either. Cases often go on for years and Strelzin also fields 40 to 80 calls per year about untimely or suspicious deaths that don’t ultimately pan out as homicides. They can include suicides or freak health issues. Asked if New Hampshire’s centralized system still makes sense more than 130 years since becoming law, Strelzin says he wouldn’t change it. “The system has worked and continues to work extremely well,” Strelzin said. He estimates New Hampshire solves about 75 percent of homicides a year or more. Often about 90 percent, Strelzin says. “Some big cities, they have a clearance rate of 25 or 30 percent because they get so many random murders and so many gangrelated killings,” Strelzin said. New Hampshire has far fewer violent crimes than some big cities. But Strelzin estimates about one or two cases go cold each year, on average. Even then, the case still belongs to the attorney general. Since 2009 the Justice Department has had a four-man Cold Case team sifting through dusty cardboard boxes and calling persons of interest to continue the work of catching killers.

NEWS & NOTES Q&A
Mastering Mudderella
Local woman overcomes obstacles, and mud
Cindy Knight of Epping led the team with the most funds raised during the recent New England Mudderella fundraising competition in Connecticut. She single-handedly raised $2,720 for her team while the organization raised about $230,000 over the year. The proceeds went to Futures Without Violence, a nonprofit organization focused on ending domestic and sexual violence. What kind of training or preparation did you do before this event? I run. I do like a boot-camp kind of workout. A lot of body weight exercise. … Last year was the first year that I did Mudderella, and I did that three months after having achilles surgery. I really didn’t get a lot of training in to do it, but I made it through the whole course. This year, I just started running again. I started doing a lot of regular body work, like squats and lunges and upper body work, push-ups and core work just to get myself ready. And it made a big difference. I did a lot better this year than I did last year. What set your team apart? They’re all my friends that are a good core group of friends. We all have the same outlook on life. We’re out there to have a good time. We’re going to stay fit and be healthy and that’s what Mudderella does. It’s a challenge for us. … Mudderella is a challenge to you personally. It’s individual but it’s also a group effort. We help each other through, we help each other throughout the year. … [We were called] the Crazy Ladies … because we’re kind of crazy.

Can you describe the obstacle course and what it was like going through it? It was fun. This year was more difficult because it was so cold, but it was good. It’s a lot of running in between and when you get to the obstacles, they’re doable obstacles but you just have to think about how you’re going to do it. We were helping others get over ahead of us if they were struggling. Other people were helping us if we were struggling. … We kind of wanted to see how well we’d do without getting our costumes too dirty. … There’s a lot of mud involved. There’s a lot of muck and just squishing through things.

How did you overcome that? One day, I just woke up. The one person he could not really keep me from was his exwife, who was the kids’ mother. She and I got along really well because we went through the same thing. … We kind of kept in touch as much as we [could] and we were friends. Finally, I realized that she went through the same thing. This was not my fault. I need to change it and get out of the situation. But it’s hard, because you really believe that you’re really going to leave in a box, that you’re not going to leave alive. … Everybody wants to help you and get you out, but it’s not easy just to walk away. You fear the repercussions of what happens even if they get arrested and they go to jail and come back.
How did you get involved with Mudderella? The littlest girl on our team, she had done Dirty Girl and wanted us to do Mudderella. So I said, ‘OK, I’ll do it with you.’ Then I found out Mudderella’s fundraiser was for Futures Without Violence. [And I knew] this is what I really wanted to do. … It’s a cause I understand you have a personal connec- that needs to be brought front and center. … So she got me into this and once the ball got tion the cause? I have an ex-husband who started out fine rolling, it just kind of took off. The more I and normal, everything seemed fine, and [he] talked to people and the more they know my story… they said I’ll be glad to [donate].

He had two stepkids that lived with him and I wasn’t going let the kids get Cindy Knight any of that. … By the time they have total control over you, you believe everything is your own fault, that you’ve brought all this upon yourself and there’s something wrong with you.

Foul play
A vandal caused thousands of dollars in damages to a Bedford Little League building over the weekend, according to a Union Leader report. The culprit broke windows, painted graffiti and sprayed a fire extinguisher inside the stand/clubhouse at Blake Marston Little League Field — which will cost an estimated $5,000 to clean up. A former board member first saw the destruction Saturday morning, caught by the words “F-- Bedford” sprayed on the side of the concession stand. QOL Score: -1 Comment: A little vandalism will not deter the Bedford state championship-winning team, made up of 11- and 12-year-olds who finished one win away from advancing to the Little League World Series this year. The concession stand will be repaired and ready to use by Opening Day 2016.

Where are the nurses?
One thing evident at the Nursing Job Fair in Manchester last week was there aren’t enough nurses to fill demand, according to a Union Leader article. This is true nationally and in New Hampshire especially, which has a large demographic of elderly and aging residents. Demand is expected to grow even more; Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center nursing recruiter Phil Davis, for example, said in the article that the hospital has more jobs than nurses. Others said demand is increasing because there’s a large pool of local working nurses nearing retirement. The state’s also in a difficult position geographically because of the concentration of hospitals and healthcare companies in the Boston area, one of the reasons event co-founders Karen O’Donnell and Rebecca Love decided to organize the job fair in the first place. QOL Score: -1 Comment: On the bright side, the event went over well; the final tally of job-seekers topped 145, successful enough that O’Donnell and Love are talking about organizing another.

Efforts to preserve historical sites
The New Hampshire Preservation Alliance has picked seven historical resources it deemed endangered and in need of protection as part of its Seven to Save initiative. According to a press release, the Hall of Flags at the New Hampshire State House is on the list. Some of the 115 flags are blood-stained and tattered from battles in the Civil War. Also on the list is a 19th-century Manchester mansion used by Catholic bishops, a 19th-century Berlin church, the town hall in Rye, a hotel in the Isles of Shoals and historic homesteads in Stratham and Wolfeboro. QOL Score: +1 Comment: This is the 10th list released by the group since 2006.
Urban walkability plans in the works
A collective of advocacy groups, nonprofits and the Nashua Regional Planning Commission is working to make the city more friendly to pedestrian traffic. The Telegraph of Nashua reported that as part of Plan4Health Nashua’s ongoing Complete Streets Project, the NRPC is conducting the newest phase of its traffic study by analyzing pedestrian traffic stress, something the NRPC says has never been done before in the country. It has already studied cyclist traffic stress. The Complete Streets Project aims to make the roadways and sidewalks friendly to all travelers whether they drive, bike, skateboard or walk. QOL Score: +1 Comment: Eighteen community members representing health organizations, the city and others met for a trolley tour of the city to discuss pedestrian planning challenges.

C’s depth has teams green with envy
The NBA season opened last night for your Boston Celtics and it should be a fun year ahead. The naysayers will say they’re doomed to eternal mediocrity in a league driven by stars, which they don’t have. But I think differently. True, they’re not going to the NBA Finals — yet. But being in a region lucky enough to have the Patriots, we’re almost guaranteed to be in one title hunt every year, so I don’t need to be greedy. Besides, I really like watching a young team grow up as they take the next step to being, as Marlon Brando once famously said, “a contenda.” That’s where the Celtics are now. Thus it’s a season offering real promise to people like me, because they’ll be fun to watch, better than a year ago and a tougher out in the playoffs for three reasons: 1. Players Coming of Age: Marcus Smart, Tyler Zeller, Jared Sullinger and perhaps Kelly Olynyk will be better as most young players are the longer they’re in the league. I think it’s the big year for Olynyk, who somehow seems to have moved ahead of Sullinger in their personal duel for P.T. despite playing very small vs. Cleveland in the playoffs. He does have ability and length. What he needs is spunk and perhaps that will come with more experience. I also expect young vets Avery Bradley and Isaiah Thomas will take another step up. 2. Continuity: With the constant roster turnover of the last two years behind them, the core has played together for a while and knows what Brad Stevens wants. That should pay dividends. And that’s been given reinforcement offensively and on the boards in David Lee, and defensively in Amir Johnson, who’s a needed glue-type player. 3. Depth: Their obvious strength is tremendous depth, which will help through the grind of the 82-game season as well as making foul trouble and even injuries to anyone
besides Thomas almost irrelevant. The only issue could be potential grumbling from capable players not playing as much as they want. Beyond that here’s a look at the other issues that should be a factor as the season unfolds. Weaknesses: It’s far from a perfect team. For one thing, with the league having been taken over by three-point shooting, they need to do that better. And since no longrange bombers who’ll play have been imported, the current group must improve and that’s not a given. Plus, they’re short a real star-level player or two who can take over at the end of the game, so they’ll have to find another way. Team Versatility: With all their level but individually different talent they will be able to throw very different looks at teams based on match-ups. With Amir Johnson, Marcus Smart, Jae Crowder and Avery Bradley on the floor together they can be tough defensively. If they want offense, it’s Thomas, Evan Turner, David Lee, Jared Sullinger and Olynyk out there. If they want to go big the 6’7” Turner takes the point and in come Johnson, Zeller and 6’10” Jonas Jerebko at 3. And if they want to go small it’s Bradley and Thomas at guard, the physical duo of Smart and Crowder at 3 and 4, with Lee or Olynyk at 5 to drag bigs away from the basket. While that’s not Cleveland, Golden State or San Antonio from the talent perspective, they’re a dream for a creative coach like Stevens. Is the Big Trade Coming? Most don’t see a big name coming during the season, but I’ll point out that Pau Gasol, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Deron Williams and Rasheed Wallace have changed teams during the year in recent seasons. Even Wilt Chamberlain got traded during a season once, so it’s not impossible. Just unlikely. I’m OK if it doesn’t, but based on the overload of capable players, trade assets and expiring contracts, Danny has the ammo to do it.

Likely to Go if it Happens: It’s about competition between rookie Terry Rozier and Smart at point, RJ Harris and James Young as the future long-range shooter, Bradley and Thomas at scoring guard, Turner and Crowder at 3, Olynyk and Sullinger at power forward or it could be Lee’s giant expiring contract that goes. The most likely for Danny to include along with draft picks are Bradley, Sullinger, Young and Turner because his contract is up at year’s end. As for me, unless Olynyk gets tougher I’m for him being the guy who goes because at the moment Sullinger is a better inside scorer, better rebounder and tougher. His problem is durability and never being in great shape. Beyond 2015-16: The sickest thing of all about Danny’s reconstruction of the team is that if everything goes their way (for once) they could have four first-round picks in the coming draft, with two possibly being in the lottery (from Brooklyn and Dallas), and five second-round picks. Given their depth, what are they going to do with nine new players? So I think some kind of big trade lies on the horizon. What they need most is the Nets (whose pick they own the next three years) to go farther south than Cuba to put them in Top 3 draft position to give them a shot at the kind of elite player or players they’re missing. Disappointing Year: 42 wins or less even if they still make the playoffs. Successful Year: Getting to the middle of the pack among playoff teams in the East. That would mean facing a more beatable first-round opponent than Cleveland. If they win one round, that’s success. If they win two, home run. Predictions: (1) The big trade happens. (2) They win 45 to finish fifth in the East and win a playoff round. (3) Brad Stevens wins Coach of the Year. Add it all up and it offers the prospect of a season even my NBA-hating friend Dick Lombardi could enjoy! Email Dave Long at dlong@hippopress. com.

Sports Glossary
Marlon Brando: Star who ushered in the era of rebels with and without a cause in Hollywood during the 1950s, most notably in On The Waterfront, when he “coulda been a contenda.” After that he got weird and made almost nothing of note until pulling himself together to win an Academy Award in 1972 for playing Vito Corleone in arguably the greatest film ever, The Godfather. Which, going back to being weird again, he refused to accept. Wilt Chamberlain: Greatest statistical force in NBA history. Here are my five favorite: (1) Scored 100 points in a game vs. the Knicks in Hershey, Pennsylvania, in March 1962; (2) Collected an incredible 55 rebounds in a single game, which entire teams don’t do today; (3) The only center in NBA history to lead the league in assists, in 196768. (4) He never fouled out even once in his 1,045 NBA games (for context, in my senior season at Plymouth State I played in 26 games and fouled out 11 times); (5) In playing all but 6 minutes all year he averaged 48.5 minutes per game in 1961-62, more than there are in a regular game! Danny Ainge: Last second-round player taken by the Celtics to have a long career with them. That happened in 1982. He stayed until 1988, when, in one of Red’s worst trades ever, he went to Sacramento for bigs Ed Pinckney and Joe Kleine after Larry Bird went down for the year.

Bars, clubs & venues that play your favorite music By Angie Sykeny
asykeny@hippopress.com
hen it comes to music, the Granite State has it all, from sailor shanties to honkytonk country. Not sure where to go to hear your favorite kind of music live? Whether you want to rock out, chill out or sing along, the charts on pages 13 and 16 will lead you to a venue that has what you’re looking for. And if you’re up for any kind of live music, there’s also a listing of local venues that host all kinds of shows on a weekly basis, so you never know what you’re going to get (until you look at the Hippo’s Music This Week guide in the Nite section of the paper each week, that is). We also took a closer look at some of the smaller but thriving subgenres of live music you can find in the area — who knew there was a sea shanty scene?
HIP-HOP: Defining NH’s scene When lifelong friends Doug York and Brian Ladd decided to form a hip-hop group in 2005, they wanted a name that would reflect who they were and would connect with their listeners. “We wanted to represent where we’re from and be proud to say we’re from New Hampshire,” York said. “So we called ourselves Granite State, and that resonated with people. It made [our music] more tangible to them.”
Ten years later, York and Ladd, who goes by Bugout, are still together, making albums and performing consistently as the Exeter-based Granite State. York calls their music style “regular guy” or “working class” hip-hop. Many of their songs are about growing up and the realities of life. Their new album will continue with that theme, but with a new perspective. “We’re both in our 30s now,” York said. “A lot of people talk about their 20s, finding a job and settling down, then they talk about their 40s and being settled down. No

one talks about being in your 30s and not seeing your friends as much and trying to figure out if you should do what’s in your heart or give up on your dreams and be a responsible adult.” Newer to the New Hampshire hip-hop scene is ETS, short for Emmanuel the Saint, from Nashua. He describes his style as “old-school,” citing influences like Biggie and 1990s-era hip-hop in general. In just a little over a year of performing, he’s done shows at multiple venues, opened for one of his idols, Dead Prez, and reached several thousand plays on nearly all 16 of his tracks on SoundCloud. He too writes with openness about his personal experiences. “I really just write about the journey of life,” ETS said, “going from being a boy to becoming a young man, finding direction, fitting in, going through doubts. I have a couple love songs, songs about betrayal and songs about internal conflicts.”
There is a strong camaraderie in New Hampshire hip-hop. ETS said once he got “in the in” of the scene, he got tremendous support from other artists. Two of the biggest outlets for hip-hop in New Hampshire are the weekly Rap Night at the Shaskeen in Manchester and the bi-weekly Misery Loves Company showcase at Carlo Rose Cigar Bar & Lounge in Pelham. These venues provide a place to perform and network. What it means to be a New Hampshire hip-hop artist, ETS said, can’t be put in a box. “We all have our own styles, so it’s unique, and it can’t be defined,” he said. “We are all the true representatives. We are the ones defining what New Hampshire hip-hop is.” Visit facebook.com/MLCNE for upcoming Misery Loves Company shows. Visit theshaskeenpub.com/hip-hop for upcoming shows at the Shaskeen.

Finding a place of their own
103420
There’s nothing like enjoying a hot cup of coffee while listening to live acoustic music. It’s such a beloved combination that there’s now a “coffee house music” genre. But not everyone is liking the trend. As the coffee house scene grows, singer/songwriters struggle to be seen as more than a cliche. Many of what were once places of reverence for artistry and songwriting have become hangout spots, and the performers are merely adding to the coffee shop ambience. Singer/songwriter Rachel Vogelzang has been performing in New Hampshire since 2010, first as a solo artist and more recently as one half of the Concord-based duo Feisty Pants. In a genre that centers around creative expression and often deeply personal lyrics, Vogelzang said the biggest struggle is finding a quiet space where people can listen. “There aren’t a lot of venues for singer/songwriters,” Vogelzang said. “Even places like True Brew, when there’s a lot of people, it’s hard to be heard. Singer/ songwriters need a place where they can not only perform, but also be heard, where people can pay attention to the lyrics.” After seeing this problem, Rachel Vogelzang and Feisty Pants partner John Burlock began hosting the Near/Far music series, a once-a-month showcase of two local singer/songwriters. The series is held in New England College Concord, a space that, in addition to its collegiate use, has become a much-needed venue for poetry and music events. Vogelzang said it’s a “low-key thing,” and that she’d like it to stay that way. “It’s a very intimate performance,” she said. “We have a small following of people who come, and we appreciate the small room for people to listen. ... I wish there
were more listening rooms with this atmosphere, and bookstore-type places that would open their doors.” Lauren Hurley, a singer/songwriter from Manchester, has been performing in New Hampshire for nine years. She too has experienced difficulty with finding venues. The only one she’s found that is quiet and has an attentive audience is Modern Gypsy, a vintage clothing shop that occasionally serves as a performance space for various artists. “There are some strong singer/songwriters around right now, but with acoustic shows, it’s hard to keep people excited,” Hurley said. “That’s why Modern Gypsy is so special to us. I wish I could say there’s more places, but Modern Gypsy is holding it down.” Despite the shortage of singer/songwriter-friendly venues, the scene is thriving. Both Hurley and Vogelzang (between her solo and Feisty Pants page) have over 1,000 likes on Facebook. Interest in more artistic music and the demand for more non-bar places to hear live music are on the rise. “There’s plenty of fans, but they just don’t know where to go,” Vogelzang said. “For people who don’t like the bar scene or music-lovers looking for somewhere different, there’s not a lot of places. So that’s what we’re working on now.” Visit facebook.com/NECConcord for upcoming shows at New England College Concord. Search Modern Gypsy on Facebook for upcoming shows.
SEA MUSIC: A nautical revival
In a small but growing scene in New Hampshire, musicians are reviving the nautical days of yore with a subgenre of folk known as maritime or sea music. London Julie is a four-woman sea music group from Portsmouth. They sing and use instruments like a cittern, fiddle, bodhran and whistle to produce an authentic, oldmaritime sound. “Sea music is a few things,” said Justine Donovan, a member of London Julie. “Songs that sailors used to pace their physical work aboard sailing vessels are shanties or work songs. Songs of the sea tell tales of mermaids, ruins, ballads and superstitions. Cautionary tales are also considered sea music and may have also been sung aboard the ships to pass the time when the sailors were relaxing.” The largest outlet for sea music in New Hampshire is the Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival, a weekend event held every September. It’s hard not to notice when the festival is in town; performers will often roam the streets, singing and passing out programs, and many of the performances take place in and around Market Square. “We are a comparatively small festi-
catch on and join the fun, even if they’re new to the scene. “People like to sing, and there aren’t many acceptable outlets for singing in our society,” Schulz said. “If you walk down the street singing … people avoid you. If you sing at work, you’ll likely be asked to keep quiet … but at a sea music session? An enthusiastic ‘yes.’ Join in the … choruses or even lead a song.” London Julie has an upcoming show at Red and Shorty's in Dover on Saturday, Nov. 21, at 8 p.m. Visit pressroomnh.com for upcoming sea music events at the Press Room in Portsmouth.
BLUES JAMS: Staying alive Almost every day of the year, in coffee shops, clubs, book stores and bars, there is an open mike event happening in New Hampshire. For musicians, open mikes have become a scene in their own right, a gathering place to get perexperience LINN SCHULZ forming and valuable feedback, or even to get a foot in the door for future ambitions. But within this community dominated by singer/songwriters with acoustic guitars lies the small, enigmatic subdivision known as the open blues jam. Here’s how it works: A house band leads the jam with a full backline. Interested jammers simply show up with their instruments and tell the coordinator they want to participate. When the coordinator gives them the go-ahead, the jammers and house band agree on a structure, then play, completely unrehearsed.

val, but very intimate,” said Linn Schulz, president of the PMFF board. “We bring the music to the people, including people who may have never heard anything like it before. We bring it into the pubs, restaurants, cafes, churches and streets of Portsmouth.” Schulz also leads two sea music-friendly sessions at The Press Room: the weekly Friday Trad, which welcomes all traditional folk music, and the monthly Shanty, Forebitter and Foc’s session, a sea music sing-around. Several groups that perform at these sessions have gone on to be featured performers at the PMFF, including London Julie. Before London Julie was formed, the members had been attending the Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival and Press Room shows for years. After seeing a scarcity of female performers in the sea music scene, they decided to fill the void. “We [wanted to] focus on sea music that gives the women’s perspective … the women left on shore, the brave, strong women who were part of the sea scene, [and the] crossdressing women who refused to be left out,” Donovan said. One of the biggest draws for sea music is that it invites audience participation. Sailor shanties were, after all, designed to be sung by a group, and many performers in the scene want to keep that tradition alive. Some even advertise their shows as an “open sing,” which means people are encouraged to sing along. With the repetitive and rhythmic choruses that are inherent to sea music, nearly anyone can

It’s a scary time to be a musician. People don’t have reverence for live music anymore.
COUNTRY: Taking different roads "Living ain't hard if you know a few jokes, but every once in a while, you get a stick in the spokes." These are the lyrics Manchester singer/songwriter Tristan Omand revealed on his blog earlier this month from a new song he’s writing. The inspiration, he said, came from a childhood memory of when bullies stuck a stick in the spokes of his bike as he was riding past them. Many of Omand’s songs follow this pattern, telling stories that unveil the darker side of humanity but also offer a bit of hope.

live music anymore. They’re watching their phones, watching the 10 TV screens behind the band, shooting pool. You’re competing with so much to get the audience’s attention.” Zona has noticed the downturn as well. He said that, to his knowledge, the jam at the Trestle is the longest-running blues jam in the state. But having seen how fickle the New Hampshire music scene can be, he believes they’ll come back around. “The number of jams ebbs and flows,” he said. “Currently, they are waning, but if a couple bars have success with them, then all the bars try it. Some work out, some do not. They go in cycles.” Blues jams are currently held at Auburn Pitts on Thursdays from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m., The Village Trestle on Sundays from 3 to 7 p.m., Strange Brew Tavern on Sundays at 8 p.m., Riverwalk Cafe on the third Thursday of the month at 8 p.m., The Stone Church on Mondays from 7:30 NICK DAVID to 10:30 p.m., and Rack’s Bar & Grill on Thursdays, at 8:30 p.m.

Peter Zona has been coordinating the Sunday afternoon blues jam at the Village Trestle for 11 years. He sets up the PA system, mixes the sound and makes sure each jammer gets to play a set of at least three songs. “The reason most jams are blues in nature is because blues is basically a simple genre to follow,” he said. “Extremely hard to master, but the structure is fairly simple.” One of the defining qualities of an open blues jam is its welcoming and nonjudgmental atmosphere. Experienced musicians come to challenge themselves and have fun while novice musicians come to hone their skills and get practice playing with a band. There are just a couple of rules. One, stick to the blues. Do not use the jam as an open mike opportunity to play non-blues music. Two, know when to wrap it up. Neither the audience nor the band wants to endure a single 20-minute-long jam. Though blues jams are a staple in the blues community, the long-standing residency of Zona’s jam at the Village Trestle is an anomaly. Nick David, also known as “Mr. Nick,” organizes the monthly blues jam at Riverwalk Cafe and is the singer and harmonica player for the house band, The Savage Tones. The Tones’ roots in the scene run deep. They have had regular jams at Whippersnappers and N’awlins Grille, both of which were discontinued, and their weekly jam at Riverwalk Cafe was recently reduced to a monthly jam. David said he worries not only for blues music, but also for live music in general. “It’s a scary time to be a musician,” he said. “People don’t have reverence for

Though his vocals and guitar picking resemble the country music style, you won’t be hearing his songs on a contemporary country station. And yet, he’s had tremendous success. He plays 100+ shows a year and has three albums, one of which was accepted by Pandora. As it turns out, a lot of people appreciate music with sincerity. “The appeal is in the raw subject matter of the songs,” he said. “You don’t hear modern country or pop-country acts singing about anything with much substance. I like tractors and pickup trucks just as much as the next guy, but there are more things to sing about.” A little less Johnny Cash and a lot more Hank Williams are the Seldom Playrights, a self-defined honky-tonk band from Portsmouth. Unlike Omand, who transcends the country genre into the greater Americana territory, the Playrights’ music is particular, and an old-fashioned particular at that. Honky-tonk hit its peak in the 1950s. With simplistic melodies, an emphasis on rhythm and twangy instrumentals, it was made for dancing — something the Playrights’ founder, Jim Lamond, has seen less and less demand for. The Playrights’ weekly honky-tonk night at the Blue Mermaid was recently discontinued. Now, they play wherever they can, sporadically at the Blue Mermaid, Strange Brew Tav-
ern and private events. “The sports bar growth has had an impact on live music,” Lamond said. “There are few places where people can listen to the music instead of watching the TVs, and there are few with a dance floor and space to move around, which is what our music is for.” But the honky-tonk scene may make a comeback. While the primary audience includes middle-aged people who grew up with the honky-tonk revival in the 1970s (a bit rowdier than the ’50s) listening to artists like Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, Lamond said there has been an increased interest from people in their 20s and 30s. Though not as gritty as Omand’s music, honky-tonk seems to have a similar appeal. “When [younger people] come upon it for the first time, they seem to like the authenticity of it,” Lamond said. “These songs are about the realities of life. The ups and downs. And I think there’s a healthy appetite for music like that.” Tristan Omand has upcoming shows at New England College Concord on Friday, Oct. 30, at 7 p.m., and at Holy Grail in Laconia on Friday, Nov. 30, at 8 p.m., as well as a new album to be released in 2016. See the Seldom Playrights Facebook page for updates on upcoming shows.

ARTS Cool contra dances
Exhibition highlights centuries-old New Hampshire tradition By Kelly Sennott
ksennott@hippopress.com
A little-known fact about New Hampshire: It’s home to one of the hottest contra dance nights in the country. Every Monday, crowds flock to Nelson — population less than 1,000 according to the last census — for its world-famous dance in a 200-year-old town hall, complete with wooden floors and wooden walls. Musicians play and people dance with soft-soled shoes or no shoes at all, while a caller shouts the moves: “Swing your partner!” “Circle to the left!” “Circle to the right” “With your partner, bounce and swing!” An even littler-known fact about New Hampshire: You don’t have to go to the Monadnock region on a Monday night to get your contra dance fix. Regular events occur in Concord, Manchester, Londonderry, Milford, Exeter, Dover, Keene, Deerfield, Hancock, Peterborough and other communities. Making these events more wellknown was a primary driver behind the new exhibition “Traditional Dance and Music in New Hampshire: 1750-today,” on view at the New Hampshire State Library now through Nov. 25. It’s produced by the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts, along with the Monadnock Folklore Society and the Monadnock Center for History and Culture. See “Traditional Dance and Music in New Hampshire: 1750-today” Where: New Hampshire State Library gallery, 20 Park St., Concord When: On view now through Nov. 25 Admission: Free Contact: nh.gov/nharts Blog: Every week, the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts features a regular contra dance on its blog, nhheritagearts.blogspot.com.
“Some of these dances are literally only advertised by a handwritten sign at the country store,” said Julianne Morse, heritage and traditional arts grants coordinator for the arts council. “I bet there are tons of people … who have no idea there are contra dances in their own communities.”
Show formation
The exhibition contains sketches, cartoons and photos that help illustrate the hundreds-of-years-old New Hampshire dance tradition, with old-fashioned posters decorating the walls and old song books, sheet music, fiddles, accordions and notebook pages scattered on tables and in display cases. On the show’s opening night, a film about the state’s contra tradition by Randy Miller played in the corner, and two musicians performed in the hallways, accompanied by, every so often, a couple swooping by in dance. One section of the show contained footstep-shaped post-it notes with stories and memories about favorite dances, and another had a dance glossary for contra dance newbies. These were often accompanied by text panels explaining the significance and bios about New Hampshire contra dance legends like Ralph Page, Bob McQuillen, Gene Gowing and Duke Miller. The show’s primary curators were at the opening, including Lisa Sieverts, secretary of the Monadnock Folklore Society (and coorganizer/caller for Nelson and Peterborough contra dances) and Michelle Stahl, executive director of the Monadnock Center for History and Culture. They’d first shown the exhibition at the Monadnock Folklore Society January 2015. Research included delving into old artifacts and newspapers, but the best resources were notebooks kept by Page, a contra dance caller and history nut who, in his time, delved through many old history records himself and hand-wrote the contra dance references down. “He wrote the exact words of what the

He was a nut, but I’m really glad he was,” Sieverts said, as a fiddler played a tune basic steps, which are easy. “I always say, if you can walk and smile and a couple glided by across the floor. at the same time, you can contra dance.

When Steve Severance decided to direct Stagecoach Productions’ Big Fish this fall, he knew it would require lots of collaborating and outside-the-box thinking. No New Hampshire community theater had done the show before — in fact, the only other company, locally, to take it on was UNH Durham, whose production premieres the same weekend. The musical calls for a lot, from flashback scenes and obscure costumes to fantastical sets and storylines. But Severance and Stagecoach co-founders Judy Hayward and Michele Henderson liked the music. They liked the story. And even though the 2013 Broadway run was cut short, Severance saw the right elements for a great community theater extravaganza. “It’s heartfelt, romantic and sad as hell, and hilarious, and there are quirky characters in it,” Severance said. “My two biggest focus points as a director have always been storytelling and collaboration. And this musical doesn’t just need those things — it demands it.” For one, it’s a story about storytelling. Based on the book by Daniel Wallace and the adapted film by Tim Burton, Big Fish tells of the relationship between Edward Bloom, a traveling salesman, and his adult son Will who, soon to be a dad himself, wants to find the truth behind his father’s too-tall tales — which involve witches and giants, circuses and wars — before it’s too late. “It’s got so many moving parts. It’s not like The Last Five Years or You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown,” Severance said. “The thing requires vast scene changes and a gazillion costume changes.” Costume designer Allison Szklarz said most of those costumes aren’t typical musical garb; she needed to dress a mermaid, acrobats, siamese twins, a magician, a lion tamer, a ninja, a general and a ringmaster who turns into a werewolf. And, because there are so many flashbacks, she needed to find both contemporary and 1950s fashion. Severance and set designer Don SmithWeiss had their hands full too. They had to See Big Fish

figure out how to shoot a guy from a cannon and get a couple of elephants, tornado and flood onstage. Broadway did it with a big stage and budget, but this company has neither the cash, time nor resources to make these story elements realistic. The pair began talking about adaptation ideas months and months ago, and the result is almost Lion King-esque in design. Set pieces are less representational, more suggestive. Floods will leak onstage via long blankets of fabric. Bats will fly with the help of attached sticks carried by actors. At one point, a piece of the stage becomes a car. Just for kicks, they threw a remote-controlled rat into one scene. They’re less special effects, more imagination-required effects, which is kind of how Severance prefers it anyway. “My gripe with Broadway is they go so over the top with bells and whistles, they sometimes lose track of the story they’re trying to tell,” he said. Actors said during rehearsals recently that they were attracted by the music and storyline. Stuart Harmon, who plays adult Edward Bloom, first heard of Big Fish through the song “How it Ends,” which is the last he sings. He said the first time they began blocking, a few cast members “lost it.” “For a show that has a lot of fantasy elements, it has some of the most real emotion I’ve seen in a show,” Harmon said. Laura Millar, who plays the witch, said there’s been a lot of behind-the-scenes work about character intentions and how to root fantasy into reality, because despite the musical’s outlandish characteristics, the roots of the tale are very real to a lot of people. “It’s about a father and son coming together. The father is dying. They have not connected before. And a lot of people have had that experience. I had a great relationship with my father, but having had the experience of him dying, I can still identify with [the story],” Smith-Weiss said.

Being a gardener enhances my enjoyment of almost anything I do, including traveling. I recently went to France to hike a section of the Chemin de Saint Jacque de Compostelle. This is an ancient pilgrim’s trail through France and Spain (where it is called the Camino); it’s a thousand miles long, and people have been walking it for over a thousand years. Part of my joy in this trip was seeing what was growing as we walked along, particularly plants we grow as perennials here in New England but grow there as weeds or wildflowers. I also enjoyed seeing species of plants that are in the same genus (a scientific grouping of closely related plants) that are different species, but similar to ours. And seeing how things grow there informs me about what specific plants need. Everywhere we walked we saw the light purple or heather-blue flowers of pincushion flower. It grew in fields, competing with grasses, and along roadsides. The soil in the part of France where we hiked was full of limestone rock, so it must be somewhat alkaline. I’ve grown this perennial, but it has never thrived for me, dying out after a year or two. I think if I plant it again, I will add some limestone to the soil. A cup of limestone worked into the soil around a trio of plants should help. Jewelweed or touch-me-not is a tall weed that thrives in shade and produces seed pods that, when ripe, can propel seeds several feet when touched. Along my hike I saw a relative, probably Impatiens glandulifera, that appeared along the trail and in gardens. This one is shorter than ours, two feet tall or less, and has nice pinkish flowers. Weed or garden plant? I saw it in planters, so I guess it is considered a garden plant there. Speaking of weeds, I saw a little purple loosestrife in France, but never in the huge swaths like in wetlands here. I saw a few plants alongside a disturbed area by a manmade lake. Everything I have read about this invasive here has told me that in Europe, where purple loosestrife came from, there are many natural insect predators to keep it under control; here there are no natural predators. The plants I did see were much smaller than what I have seen here. I saw large swaths of a bright yellow crocus, a large one that seemed to naturalize and spread nicely. I asked a local about it, he could only tell me that it was a type of crocus, but no species or cultivar name. I’ve grown fall crocus here, a beautiful purple-blue one that is the species that produces saffron. Unfortunately, it takes 7,000 blossoms to produce 3 ounces of saffron and mine, instead of natu-
Stinking Hellebore.
ralizing, have tended to disappear. Not sure if the squirrels are into saffron, or if the conditions where I planted them are not quite right. Cyclamen is often sold as a very satisfactory houseplant here, but can also be grown as a fall-blooming outdoor plant. In France I saw huge patches of it blooming, mainly in shady places near homes, which made me think it was planted, but I did see some growing in the wild, too. The variety I have grown is a species called Cyclamen neapolitanum. It has survived over the years, but rarely blooms for me, or if it does, it may escape my notice — it blooms just when my maples drop their leaves. A plant that delighted and surprised me along the trail was stinking hellebore. Hellebores are among my favorite flowers in early spring, though of a different species than the French one I saw — I grow lots of the kind called Lenten rose. The Lenten rose is hardy to zone 4 and has been hybridized in recent years to produce blossoms ranging from deep purple to peach and pink. It grows in shade or partial shade and has glossy evergreen leaves. The stinking hellebore has greenish flowers that are malodorous, hence the name. It is hardy here to zone 6; I have grown it successfully, though I rarely get any flowers. Hawthorns are very common in France, both in hedgerows and in the wild. I have a green hawthorn, a species commonly used as a street tree for its toughness, medium size, and red berries in winter. Mine is a variety called ‘Winter King’ which is commonly sold. There I saw numerous English Hawthorn. Interestingly, most had no berries, even though it was the right season for them. Birds don’t seem to like the berries of Winter King, but I suppose the English hawthorn berries might be appealing to French birds. Or was it revenge on the English for the 100 Years War? There were so many other interesting plants growing in France I can’t describe them all. I saw purple kale grown decoratively, and sage grown in quantity for the color of its leaves. Fall anemones were common in gardens, and of course the French love their roses. And being on vacation, I always took time to smell the roses.

Dear Donna, My husband and I have collected postcards for many years now and have come across a few that we think are just crazy and often wonder how or why they were made that way.

Get ready to run at the 9th Annual Anthem Manchester City Marathon, happening Sunday, Nov. 1, with prerace activities starting on Saturday, Oct. 31. The Marathon attracts around 1,000 runners each year and is a 2017 Boston Marathon qualifier. It includes a full marathon, half marathon and relay. “We’ve had representation from over 30 states,” said Larry Gagnon, Manchester Marathon Association Board Chair. “I think it’s attractive to runners because it’s in the fall, it’s a good course and as a Boston Marathon qualifier, it gives those first-time marathoners a chance to challenge themselves with a smaller crowd [than Boston].” Marathon Weekend begins with the Health & Wellness Expo on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Radisson Hotel in Manchester. The expo features more than two dozen exhibitors with the latest in sports and wellness products, running apparel and accessories, plus screenings and health tips. Also at the expo from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. is the Kids’ Fitness Festival, hosted by Granite YMCA. The festival has a variety of free activities to teach kids about healthy living, including an obstacle course, games, prizes and making signs to cheer on the marathon runners. “The marathon was created to be a health and fitness event that would benefit the whole Manchester community,” Gagnon said. “It’s competitive for runners but at the same time provides healthy activities that appeal to kids and families.”
The race will launch at 8:50 a.m. on Sunday from “Athletes Village,” better known as Veterans Park. The full marathon is 26.2 miles and the half marathon is 13.1 miles. The full course covers a wide area of the city, running through the millyard, up to the North End, across the river to the West Side and ending back at Veterans Park. There will be water stops at every 2-mile mark. Online registration closes on Thursday, Oct. 29, at midnight. The final opportunity to register will be at the Sports and Wellness Expo on Saturday; there is no race-day registration. All runners must pick up their race packets at the expo as well. Registration costs are $100 for the full marathon, $90 for the half marathon, $160 for the full-marathon relay and $80 for the half-marathon relay. Proceeds benefit several local nonprofits. If you aren’t running but still want to join in the excitement, inquire about volunteering or simply come as a spectator and show your support for the runners. “It’s fantastic for a runner to go down a hill, then charge back up and see someone cheering them on,” Gagnon said, “so we hope people will come out that day.”

IN/OUT CAR TALK
Coolant leak is causing major problems Dear Car Talk: A couple of nights ago, I was driving my 2000 Range Rover on the interstate when the heater suddenly started blowing cold air and the temperature gauge By Ray Magliozzi topped out. I pulled off to the side of the road and had the engine shut down within 15 seconds or so. I checked the overflow bottle, and it was empty, so I let the engine cool off and then put in more coolant. With the needle back on the “cold” side of the gauge, the engine would crank but not catch. By this time, the tow truck had arrived, and he gave me a ride home. The next morning, I tried starting it again, and it started but sounded like only five out of eight cylinders were firing. Later that day after work, I started it again and it ran much better. I found and fixed the original leak, refilled the coolant and let it warm up. Now it’s running like nothing was ever wrong. Why? — Mary My guess is that you had a coolant leak that got catastrophically worse — the hint is that you just happened to have a jug of coolant in the truck. How many people who don’t have chronic coolant leaks drive around with
a jug or two of Prestone? When you lost enough coolant and overheated the engine, you damaged the head gasket — hopefully just the head gasket, and not the head or the engine block. When the head gasket was damaged, the coolant, which was under high pressure, seeped into one or more of the cylinders. That’s why it sounded like it was running on fewer than eight cylinders the next day: because one or more of the cylinders still had coolant in it, and the coolant was dousing the flame. After running the engine, that coolant eventually burned off, and the truck began to run on all eight cylinders again. But that’s a temporary situation. What typically happens is that when a vehicle is driven hard, the pressure in the cooling system gets very high. And then when you shut off the engine, that coolant gets forced through and around the damaged head gasket, and gets into the cylinders again. So you should expect a repeat performance. So, what to do? Well, if you were hoping to trade in this beast with a clear conscience, you should have stopped reading four paragraphs ago. If you want to fix it, you’ll first want to confirm our diagnosis. Your mechanic can do this by performing a head-gasket test, which looks for signs of exhaust gases
in the coolant. If the test is positive, you’ll want to replace both head gaskets. You have two banks of four cylinders each on this truck. Both have a head gasket. If one of them has failed, chances are the other one isn’t far behind. But that’s going to cost you thousands of dollars. Before you plunk down that kind of coin on a 15-year-old truck, you’ll want to get it checked out from stem to stern. Overheating can cause other damage to the engine, and you don’t want to replace both head gaskets only to find out you’re now burning a quart of oil every 200 miles because you damaged the bearings. Or there may be other “home equity loan”-level repairs looming, and you’d want to know about those before putting a lot of money into this truck. So if you don’t need 100 percent reliable transportation, you can limp by with this truck for as long as you can stand it. But if you can’t always wait for a couple of the cylinders to clear out the coolant while the truck shakes in your driveway, it might be time to look for a new car. Dear Car Talk: When I was a kid, many years ago, my friends and I wondered what would happen if we crammed a potato into the exhaust
pipe of a car. We figured the exhaust would build up and eventually shoot out the potato like a cannonball from a cannon. Fortunately, we never tried it. Now, all these many years later, I’m still wondering: What would happen? — Dave What’ll happen — if the engine’s running, and you secure the potato in there tightly — is that the car will stall. If you block the exhaust gases from getting out through the tailpipe, there will be no room for fresh air to get into the combustion chambers, and the engine won’t be able to run. Or, if the car is not running when you “install” the potato, the car will start up and run briefly, and then stall. If you want the potato to shoot out of the tailpipe, you’ll have to be a little more deliberate. Try one of those little, red “new potatoes.” You’ll have to make it fit perfectly inside the tailpipe — not too loose, not too tight. Bring a potato peeler with you so you can make last-minute adjustments. Then it should work like a peashooter. If you have a buddy punch the gas and rev the engine, that potato ought to come flying out pretty quickly. Visit Cartalk.com.

An apple a day may keep the doctor away — and one covered with caramel, chocolate and almond butter crunch keeps the tastebuds happy. Marc Amiet, owner of Van Otis Chocolates in Manchester, said that in recent years gourmet caramel apples have become increasingly popular. They carry them from mid-September through Thanksgiving and typically make 50 to 100 per week. “We have a big following for our caramel, and I think using that for the apples makes a lot of sense,” he said. “The combination of the tartness of Granny Smith apples that we’re using … goes better with the sweetness of the caramel and the Dipping Granny Smith apples in caramel at Van Otis Chocolates.

On a recent Thursday morning, The Grind Rail Trail Cafe was bustling with patrons — some grabbing a cup of coffee on the way to their next appointment and others perched at high-top tables next to the front window, looking out from the cafe’s new home on West Broadway in Derry. Co-owners Melanie Davis and Carmel Shea sat in the center of the cafe at a long, dark wooden table, reflecting on their first month in the new space. “We don’t touch each other nearly as often as we did in our old space,” Davis said, laughing. The cafe’s original location was on Manning Street in Derry. “There wasn’t enough seating for customers. There was definitely not enough space for us,” Shea added. The Grind first opened a year and a half ago, when Davis and Shea were at a crossroads in their careers and decided to fill a void they saw in Derry’s downtown — a “daytime, friendly, community type of place.” “We realized very quickly that it worked [and] we outgrew the space probably within half a year. Not until we got here did we realize how much we had outgrown the space,” Davis said. Slightly wary of moving so shortly after opening their business, Shea and Davis realized that if they didn’t snag the West Broadway location, someone else would. So they signed the lease, planning to take a few months to renovate while maintaining the Manning Street cafe. On July 31, only 24 hours after signing the new lease, everything changed. The Grind Rail Trail Cafe Where: 5 W. Broadway, Derry Call: 247-4506 Visit: facebook.com/thegrindnh
In the apartments above the Manning Street cafe, the hot water tank burst, destroying the walls, floors and ceiling in The Grind. “We were concerned about our staff — it was two months of down time because now we weren’t in business, two months of lost revenue, two months of customer habits being forcefully changed to different places,” Davis said. After a couple days of “woe is me,” Shea said, they went full steam ahead toward the new cafe. Staff even came in to help with demolition, cleanup and errand runs. “[We] said, if you show up ... we’ll find something for you to do and we’ll pay you,” Davis said. “And they were here on blind faith that we would take care of them, which was really awesome.” Previously a retail bike store, 5 West Broadway had to be redone from flooring and ceilings to plumbing and electric, plus the features Shea and Davis had in mind for the community space. “We knew that we wanted this … big gathering table where people can kind of sit down, whether it was a big family sit-down or friends [sitting] down or sitting to work,” Shea said. “We knew we wanted to keep the bar — we had a bar in our last location. Our whole goal in setting up the space is to make it multifunctional … we wanted it to be very versatile and have something for everyone.” Come spring, The Grind will have outdoor patio seating and a “walk through” window for walkers, runners and bikers. And the menu has expanded, featuring breakfast sausages from Tuckaway Tavern in Raymond and more soup and bread bowl options. The new location opened Sept. 19. “We were still painting at 7:30 in the morning and we opened at 8 to a line out the door. It was like Black Friday,” Davis said. “All the same faces came back. It was emotional for sure.” “And since we unlocked that door on the 19th, it hasn’t stopped,” Shea said.

A spirited release
Flag Hill debuts straight bourbon whiskey
Voted #1 in People’s choice and #2 in Judge’s Choice at the Exeter Powder Keg, Beer & Chili Fest!

When you’ve been waiting for over two years to release a product and the day finally arrives, there’s really no other option than to mark the occasion with a party. On Saturday, Nov. 7, Flag Hill Winery & Distillery will celebrate the release of Flag Hill straight bourbon whiskey with an Ole Country Hoedown. “We have a number of entertainment acts that will be joining us, from square dancers and a caller to a country musician to a couple different bluegrass bands,” catering manager and event coordinator Christa Phaneuf said in a phone interview. “Our chef is really excited about the fun familystyle menu she’s planned as well.” The night includes a toast — the first time the public gets to try the bourbon— followed by a country-style meal featuring produce grown and chickens raised at Flag Hill Farm. The menu is made up of pitroasted chicken, slow-roasted dry rub ribs, sweet potatoes with bourbon honey butter, whiskey meatballs, jalapeno cornbread and fried Brussels sprouts. Brian Ferguson, owner/distiller/winemaker at Flag Hill, said folks who have attended a previous fall or spring product release party are in for a different experience that goes “above and beyond.” “We’re building a tour which is going to be pretty unique,” he said in a phone interview. “Instead of seeing everything, we’re going to focus in on just whiskey and show why what we’re doing really matters, and we’re going to have a barrel maker here onsite making barrels so people can see that process.” With an extensive background in spirits and wine making, Ferguson particularly loves whiskey. “I think in general whiskey has caught on within the last 10 years or so and has taken off as a spirit category,” he said. “At the time when we started putting it up, there was no one in the state making a stride at it.” Breaking down the components of the straight bourbon whiskey, Ferguson said to be called bourbon it simply has to be made in America from at least 51 percent corn, aged to no more than 125 proof in new charred American white oak barrels and distilled 160. “So that is bourbon. It can be 40 years old or four minutes old, as long as it meets the requirements,” he said. “Straight” is a designator of quality, he explained, so to put that word on the label it

has to be at least two years old. “We’ve painfully sat on this whiskey for two and three years,” he said. “There is no way to fake the maturity piece of it. You can get the oak piece really quick, but the actual maturation of the spirit takes time and it’s through a complex chemical reaction.” The official release of Flag Hill straight bourbon whiskey is on Nov. 7 and Ferguson hopes to have it in liquor stores the following Monday so he can bring it to the Distiller’s Showcase in Manchester on Nov. 12. Party attendees won’t have to wait to see the spirit in action, however, since there will be a cocktail competition and cocktail demos featuring the straight bourbon whiskey at the release party. “We have bartenders [from Blue Moon Evolution, Tuckaway Tavern and Cotton] that are really excited to play with our bourbon ... and our bartender is throughthe-roof excited,” Phaneuf said.

One thing owner Vincent Salerno Jr. knows about his customers is that they love the old-school atmosphere at Vinnie’s Pizzeria (200 S. Main St., Concord, 2247727). The assortment of tables and chairs and walls lined with photos of boxing champions are in the same spots they’ve been in for years, giving a homey nostalgia to one of Concord’s staple pizza joints. Salerno’s parents opened Vinnie’s in 1958 (it moved to its current spot in 1960), and Salerno has been working there since he started assembling pizza boxes at 10 years old. While the Italian-style pizza recipe is the same his father used, he’s made some minor tweaks over the years — like adding garlic to the dough or changing the proportions of the cheese blend — to make sure his customers continue to get the best flavor he has to offer.

Ideas from off the shelf
Spinach ravioli lasagna There’s a new phenomenon happening among my friends — they’re all having baby showers for Baby No. 2. Now that the novelty of cute baby onesies and mustacheshaped pacifiers has worn off among the majority of them, I’ve been trying to come up with clever and useful gifts to give. I remember that when I first brought home my little girl, the thing I wanted most in the world was to not have to cook. Inspired by that memory, I’ve been sending IOUs for food to the mamas and papas. In a card I enclose a certificate for a homemade meal to be delivered shortly after the baby is born. I’m trying to help the parents lower their post-baby stress levels by filling their fridges and freezers with pop-in-theoven meals. I’ve come to realize casseroles are the best way to go. They’re no-mess meals that typically have everything to be considered a full dinner without adding side dishes. Plus, they’re pantry-friendly. I can keep enough ingredients on hand to whip up a casserole with little to no notice. One recipe I’ve come to favor in the past few months is for spinach ravioli lasagna. The recipe, which appeared in Southern Living, combines frozen ravioli with fresh spinach in a Spinach Ravioli Lasagna Courtesy of Southern Living 1 6-ounce package fresh baby spinach, washed 1/3 cup pesto sauce 1 15-ounce jar alfredo sauce ¼ cup vegetable or chicken broth 1 25-ounce pacakage frozen, cheese-filled ravioli (do not thaw) 1 cup shredded Italian six-cheese blend Paprika and basil to garnish

hearty and heavenly dish. The wonderful thing about this recipe, besides being pantry- and budget-friendly, is that it is the perfect starting point for any number of combinations of veggies, ravioli and sauces. I haven’t branched out too far, as this one is good straight from the freezer. While the recipe calls for fresh spinach and cheese ravioli, you could easily substitute spinach ravioli. Similarly, if you know the family you’re cooking for has an aversion to pesto, a regular marinara would be just fine. The first time I made this dish I tested it on my family. Both my husband and my daughter loved it and went back for seconds. It’s not as time-intensive as traditional lasagna, but the layering of the ravioli, spinach and sauce has the same effect. Topped with a sprinkle of cheese blend and a dash of paprika, this lasagna is full of flavor. The pesto sauce adds a more nuanced flavor than you would expect to find in a casserole, and the alfredo is rich and creamy — perfectly meeting my comfort food requirements and ideal for any parent (new or otherwise) short on time to spend in the kitchen. — Lauren Mifsud Chop spinach and toss with pesto in a medium bowl. Combine the alfredo sauce and vegetable broth and spoon onethird of the mixture into a lightly greased 11x7-inch baking dish. Top with half of the spinach mixture. Arrange half of the ravioli in a single layer over the sauces. Repeat layers once and top with the remaining alfredo sauce. Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Garnish, if desired, with paprika and basil.

If you’re attending a Halloween party this weekend like I am, you might be looking for a fun beverage to bring with you. With all of the wine brands and names out there, there is no shortage of those that can be used to celebrate Halloween. Or, if you aren’t going to a party but are taking your children trick-or-treating, you’ll have some candy around and might be wondering what wine to pair it with. Either way, I have some ideas. We have two New Hampshire wineries with wines fit for a party: Coffin Cellars and Haunting Whisper Vineyards. The “Coffin” in Coffin Cellars in Webster is based on a family name, but the Austin family does a great job of playing it up in its branding. It’s constantly rotating through several fruit wine varietals that include blackberry, elderberry, blueberry, jalapeno and even its newest offering: dandelion wine. The most popular wine is the cranberry pomegranate, which constantly sells out, but my personal favorite is the lime wine — it is so unique. Last year, Coffin Cellars renovated a building on the property into its cozy new tasting room. If you haven’t visited yet, make a point to stop by and see the result of all of the hard work. The winery is open on weekends from 1 to 5 p.m. or you can pick up the wine locally at Riverhill Market, Korner Kupboard and Concord Co-op, all located in Concord, and the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store in Contoocook. Haunting Whisper Vineyard & Spirits in Danbury is currently expanding, with a distillery coming in late 2015. It offers a varied list of wines that includes white, red and fruit wines (apple, blackberry, blueberry and cranberry). The only scary thing about this winery is how good its wines are and how difficult it is to decide which you like best. Personal favorites include Edelweiss, Mount Washington Red, Winnipesaukee Red and the Misty Bog. Haunting Whisper is currently open Wednesday through Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. I am looking forward to hearing more about its distillery plans. You can also find its wines in area grocery stores and New Hampshire Liquor and Wine Outlets. Here are a few other suggestions of wines readily available and perfect for Halloween. One of my affordable “go to” wines is Apothic Red, a blend of zinfandel, syrah, cabernet and merlot; I also like Apothic White, a blend of chardonnay, riesling and moscato. These California wines use several grapes to add the best characteristics of each.
Velvet Devil Merlot from Washington State is a red blend of 91 percent merlot and 9 percent cabernet sauvignon. This wine is an affordable, classic merlot with aromas of cherries and tobacco and a nice finish. According to the winemaker, it is “naughty and nice, a true Velvet Devil.” And the label is really fun. Vampire wines from California have a wide variety of choices for all wine palates. Try their chardonnay, merlot, pinot noir or pinot grigio. I especially like their pinot noir, which has aromas and flavors of fruit, but is also light and smooth. Ghost Pines Red Blend is made with several grapes, including cabernet sauvignon, petite sirah, petite verdot and zinfandel, resulting in a smooth and drinkable wine. Each grape is fermented separately before blending. According to the winemaker, this wine is a combination of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, with all of the grapes creating a complex and balanced wine. In terms of Halloween candy pairings, here are some suggestions from Vivino: Nerds: sparkling wines (Champagne, prosecco, cava) Starburst: sweet whites (moscato, riesling, gewurztraminer) or a light red (pinot noir) Skittles: dry whites (sauvignon blanc, white table wine) or sweet whites (moscato, riesling, gewurztraminer) Candy corn: sweet whites (moscato, riesling, gewurztraminer), rich whites (chardonnay, viognier), sparkling wines (Champagne, prosecco, cava) Mounds: sparkling wines (Champagne, prosecco, cava), dessert wines (ice wine, porttawny or ruby) Kit Kat: sparkling wines (Champagne, prosecco, cava), medium reds (red table wine, tempranillo, zinfandel, merlot, grenache) Tootsie Roll: dessert wines (ice wine, porttawny or ruby) Butterfinger: dessert wines (ice wine, port-tawny or ruby), rich whites (chardonnay, viognier) Snickers: dessert wines (ice wine, porttawny or ruby), bold reds (cabernet, malbec, syrah), medium reds (red table wine, tempranillo, zinfandel, merlot, grenache) Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup: light red (pinot noir), bold reds (cabernet, malbec, syrah) Heath Bar: dessert wines (ice wine, porttawny or ruby) M&Ms: medium reds (red table wine, tempranillo, zinfandel, merlot, grenache) Hershey’s Milk Chocolate: light red (pinot noir), medium reds (red table wine, zinfandel, merlot), rich whites (chardonnay, viognier), sweet whites (moscato, riesling) View the full chart at vivino.com.

• Eh wot, how much does Merrie Olde England love this blonde person named Ellie Goulding? Well, she played a song at the royal wedding of Kate Middleton and her bucktoothed squire — that’s how important and “artsy” she is. Delirium, her new album, is coming out so that you can hear what happens when someone combines boring rudimentary dancehall and a Van Halen-esque guitar loop with the pouty singing of a cardboard cutout diva. It’s bloody redundant, eh wot? • Remaining in the land of really bad fish ‘n’ chips, jolly good show, you haven’t heard of Little Mix, I bet, have you. They’re sort of like the Spice Girls, except more pasteurized, like all they seem to offer is a bunch of snap-dance diva noises and the lyrical worthiness of a random angst generator written by Hello Kitty. The new LP is called Get Weird, and the snippets feature outdated bubblegum snap and nothing weird at all, hence they’re due a year-end award for “Most Ironic Album Title” or somesuch. • Shrinkwrapped country-pop product Tim McGraw will release Damn Country Music, his 14th LP, and look everyone, Big & Rich are guests on one of the songs! The PR person for Big & Rich has always been nice to me, thus I cannot diss this album. Or maybe I can, since there’s no preview of “California,” the song Big & Rich sing on, which leaves me with whatever Tim McGraw’s corporate android Mr. Smiths will allow me to preview on the YouTube, so let’s go listen. Yup, I’m stuck with the video for “Top of the World,” the Josh Osborne-guested track, if this stupid spam ad for Gotham ever, ever ends. Man, is that an overrated show or what? Yikes, the beat to this song is almost one-drop reggae. Has Tim McGraw been listening to old Big Mountain records or some such horrible nonsense? Yep, there’s our guy, in jeans and a Stetson. He’s looking at pictures of Camaros and stuff, like someone printed put some pictures from a camera. Does this stupidly rich cowboy person think all the poor people can’t afford smartphones and computers and they still just go to the Photomat at JM Fields? What a bizarre, bizarre creature, this rich cowboy person who makes music to shop at Walmart by. • On his new 7 album, 1990s-AOR-pop icon Seal is back with his “Kiss from a Rose”-era producer Trevor Horn. Let’s make fun of this microwaved chill-pop music, while he’s still in business. “Every Time I’m With You” is the single, a weepy 1970s-style piano ballad. Know what would go perfect in this song? Some annoying strings, like right out of Chicago’s fifth album, when the Matrix took over rock ’n’ roll — wait, never mind, there they are. This guy thinks of everything! — Eric W. Saeger
Amaranthe, Breaking Point - B-Sides 2011-2015 (Spinefarm Records)
Coming to Manchester’s Jewel Nightclub on Nov. 6, this Swedish melodic-death-metal crew is co-fronted by Elize Ryd, whose Olivia NewtonJohn side reveals itself in this collection of bonus tracks and other obscurities, being as how most of this stuff is performed with acoustic guitars. The opening track is an unplugged version of “Hunger,” the original 2011 version of which sounded like Ke$ha fronting Korn pretty much (here the song comes off as a ren-faire-Celtic pop trinket, its clever hooky songwriting leaving no logical room for the original’s swampmonster growls from Henrik Englund). An acoustic rub of “Afterlife” finds Ryd screeching a little too enthusiastically while Jake Lundberg nicks One Direction, but these guys can chill-rock with anyone, as the Abba-like take on their eponymous track demonstrates. Butcher Babies are in tow for this tour. A- — Eric W. Saeger No Devotion, Permanence (Collect Records)
Pretty icky backstory on this Welsh indie-rock band, who, when they were Lostprophets, lost their frontman to a child-abuse prison sentence. Thus they’re a comeback story that couldn’t have happened until this millennium, when, despite their deep embarrassment, they do deserve a comeback shot, and a lot of high-powered media types are more than willing to hand one over, particularly given this timely mix of sounds. Album opener “Break” has you thinking trap at first, but new singer Geoff Rickly (ex-Thursday) warbles his way into the mix, making perfect sense by gloom-checking Depeche Mode. And then, well, then it goes sort of Klaxons. All of that may look suspicious, but it does fit with a band who counts DJ Shadow as one of its inspirations: it’s sloppy but captivating. Of course, being the lead-off song, that tune’s looking for cred more than arena-indie workability, which immediately follows with “Permanent Sunlight” and its blinding flashes of shoegaze-face-washing and early U2 guitar-warmongering. “Eyeshadow” is pretty cool, too, like something from the first Cult album. A bit unfocused, but a very strong debut. A — Eric W. Saeger

Those who want to play need to arrive at the box office at least three hours before showtime, but Palmer said there’s very little you can do to prepare besides watching the TV show. “I always tell contestants to go with your gut. Never second-guess yourself,” Palmer said. Palmer suspects there are lots of reasons people like the interactive stage performance so much. “It’s really entertaining. You’re seeing people you know in unusual situations,” Palmer said. “But [The Price is Right] is like an old friend. Everyone comes out. There’s excitement in the air. It’s interesting, because the show’s been on for over 40 years on TV, and so we have, like, three generations of people coming. Grandparents, parents and kids — they all know how to play the games.”

In The Price is Right Live Executive Producer Jeff Palmer’s slightly biased opinion, the show’s a symbol of everything that’s right with the world, right alongside mom’s apple pie. “It’s a comfort food for entertainment,” Palmer said via phone last week. “It’s part of the fabric of our culture. It’s been around for so long, and everyone has a relationship with it.” This, he said, is the reason that the stage show has seen sell-out crowds “just about everywhere” it goes — and it very well could during its stop at New Hampshire’s Capitol Center for the Arts on Thursday, Nov. 5, at 7:30 p.m. The live production is a spin-off of the recorded one filmed in Las Vegas. It’s the same extravaganza at heart, made up of the TV show’s “greatest hits,” with appearances from Plinko, Cliff Hangers, the Big Wheel and tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of prizes (major appliances, trips, and a showcase that includes something Palmer said will “drive people crazy”). The live tour began about 10 years ago, first stopping in major cities for long periods of time — Vegas, Kansas City, Foxwoods, etc. — but in 2011, the production team decided to make more stops in more communities in attempts to reach more people. Today, Palmer estimated The Price is Right Live happens in more than 100, maybe even 150 cities a year. The goal of the stage adaptation is for as many people to get the Price is Right experience as possible. Daytime Emmy-winner Todd Newton hosts and invites far more people to “come on down” than Bob Barker or Drew Carey ever did — around 50 names, selected randomly, compared to the TV show’s seven or eight. (Newton hosts most live shows, but others have featured Jerry Springer and Mark Walberg from Antiques Roadshow.) This version allows for more audience members, too — the filming studio’s actually very small, Palmer said; some people begin waiting in line at 6 a.m.. “The heart of the [live] show is to bring the TV experience to people’s cities. Not everyone can get to Hollywood and see the [taped] show,” Palmer said. “We wanted more people in the country to be able to see us.” The sets that the production crew will bring into the Cap Center are almost duplicates of those you’ll see on CBS, only smaller to fit the theater and driven in

The Brain: The Story of You, by David Eagleman (Pantheon Books, 216 pages) Dr. David Eagleman is a smart and telegenic guy, a neuroscientist who specializes in “brain plasticity, time perception, synesthesia and the intersection of science and social policy,” and the author of three well-received books. In his latest, The Brain, The Story of You, Eagleman attempts to go where one man has gone before, linking a book with a slick PBS series. Unfortunately, it’s a pale shadow of a previous pairing, the book and show “How We Got to Now” with Steven Johnson. In Johnson’s endeavor, the TV shows were a companion to a dense and satisfying book. The Brain presents as a television script, albeit one slickly produced with charts, photos and illustrations (a rat brain!). It’s literary eye candy that would be an entertaining text for precocious eighth-graders. Disappointingly, unlike Eagleman’s previous work, The Brain is not brainy. The book comprises a series of questions: Who am I? What is reality? Who’s in control? How do I decide? Do I need you? And, who will we be? The answers reside in the three pounds of brain, “this hunk of unremarkable stuff” that feels like jelly and looks alarmingly like curdled intestines. Unlike newborn animals that arrive with pre-wired brains, the human infant shows up with “general directions for the blueprints of neural networks” and experience supplies the fine tuning, which will go on for 25 years.” (As any parent of a teenager knows, the part of the brain that controls impulses does not mature until the third decade.) But even in adulthood, Eagleton writes, the brain is elastic: “Experience changes it, and it retains the change.” An extensive study
of London cab drivers, who spend four years learning 320 routes, 25,000 streets and 20,000 popular places in the city, revealed physical growth in the hippocampus, where the brain stores memories. Further, memory is not just a function of the past, but is necessary for imagining the future. And what we see physically is colored by expectations, which means “reality” may not only be overrated, but may not exist. Just as science teaches us there are no colors — that what we experience as color is actually our eyes’ perception of wavelengths of light — even more depressingly, Eagleman tells us, there also is no sound or odor in the world we inhabit. “Molecules floating through the air bind to receptors in our nose and are interpreted as different smells by our brain. The real world is not full of rich sensory events; instead our brains light up the world with their own sensuality.” Like Steven Johnson, Eagleton criss-crosses the nation for research and to illustrate his points. He visits a 10-year-old who holds the record for cup stacking (who knew?) to measure his brain waves and to learn that such activities are not muscle memory, but made possible through “thick jungles of connections” in the brain; visits the cell called “The Hole” at Alcatraz to consider the effects of privation; and tests sprinters to see if they react more quickly to a starter’s gun or flash of light. His research also offers a new reason not to inject paralyzing toxins into your crow’s feet: In studying people injected with Botox, Eagleton determined that, in addition to losing the ability to move facial muscles, they registered less ability to detect emotion in others, a problem since “half of us is other people” as our actions and perceptions depend so much on others’.
In his final chapter, Eagleton looks toward the future, at how technology and biology can work together to improve and extend human life. “We can hack our own hardware to steer a course into the future,” he predicts. “This is poised to fundamentally change what it will mean to be a human.” This can take place with technology connected to our bodies — like the cochlear implant that provides artificial hearing for the deaf, already here — or the cutting-edge field of “sensory substitution” in which the brain receives input, knowledge and directives from unorthodox places. An example is a system called BrainPort, which delivers visual information to blind people via electrical impulses on their tongues. “If it sounds crazy to ‘see’ through your tongue, just keep in mind that seeing is never anything but electrical signals streaming into the darkness of your skull. Normally this happens via the optic nerves, but there’s no reason the information can’t stream in via other nerves instead.” There is a cursory look at the existential issues: the requirement of consciousness, the mechanics of life extension through cryogenics and “uploading” consciousness, and the Matrix-like conundrum: Are we already living in a simulation? And was Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz right that matter alone cannot generate a mind? Eagleton skips over the big questions merrily, having already spent a book — 2009’s Sum, Forty Tales from the Afterlives — whimsically considering after-death outcomes never posited by the world’s great religions. That title and 2011’s Incognito, The Secret Lives of the Brain require more of an investment of time and thought from the reader; accordingly, the payoff is greater. The Brain is the rare book that is better on the screen than on a page. Six episodes began Oct. 14 and run through Nov. 18. B— Jennifer Graham

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ
Steve Jobs (R)
The Apple co-founder is — gasp — a big jerk in Steve Jobs, a character study of the turtleneck-wearing master (eventually) of selling personal tech from screenwriter Aaron Sorkin and, sure, director Danny Boyle.
But, honestly, we’re mostly going to be blaming Aaron Sorkin for this. Actually, I liked and was annoyed by the structure of Steve Jobs, which confines itself to spending time with the man at three different product launches: the Macintosh in 1984, the NeXT black cube thing in 1988 and the jelly bean-ish iMac in 1998. At each launch, we see Steve (Michael Fassbender) interact with his longtime head of marketing/personal babysitter Joanna Hoffman (Kate Winslet), Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak (Seth Rogen), Apple CEO John Sculley (Jeff Daniels), tech guy Andy Hertzfeld (Michael Stuhlbarg), ex-girlfriend Chrisann (Katherine Waterston) and her daughter Lisa (Makenzie Moss in 1984, Ripley Sobo in 1988 and Perla Haney-Jardine in 1998), who is also Jobs’ daughter, though he doesn’t acknowledge that in the 1984 scenes. I kind of liked not having to painstakingly walk through the Jobsdiscovers-computers scenes. The movie employs flashbacks when necessary but otherwise assumes we know enough to get by and fills in exposition along the way. So, that’s of the good. But it’s also a weirdly stilted set-up — why are all the important conversations, including serious questioning of the product about to be launched,

taking place in the 20 minutes before he goes on stage? Because story structure, the movie replies, just go with it. And while I can, this movie has a fair amount of stuff it requires the viewer to “just go with.” I think one could argue that the three products are set up to show three sides to Jobs’ approach to business. The Macintosh is an attempt to create a lovable personal computer that everybody will want to have in their homes and that even a neglected five-year-old can use, as we see when Lisa finds the Apple Paint and creates some doodle that still can’t quite melt Jobs’ heart enough. The NeXT box, from his years after being ousted by Sculley, is an example of Jobs’ obsession with design and a cynical move to create an operating system

that will make Apple want to buy him out and bring him back. The iMac represents the marriage of design and useability and, perhaps, a more realistic approach to selling expensive computers to people, and it is the start of his golden age. At least, this is what I took from the movie. I also took from the movie that he was a pretty big, well, rhymes with “grass roll” throughout the course of his life and, while his understanding of how people used computers might have evolved somewhat, his understanding of people themselves didn’t do all that much growing. While he acknowledges his daughter in the two later set pieces, he still doesn’t seems to actually understand what it means to be a parent. So this makes for an odd movie — a cen-

tral character who doesn’t really grow or change and a bunch of rat-a-tat Sorkin conversation which, normally, I’m rather a fan of but here doesn’t have the usual pop and sparkle (the way, say, The Social Network did). And a lot of those conversations feel the same, that is to say that the conversations the Steves, Jobs and Wozniak, have in 1984 is very similar to the ones they have in 1988 and in 1998. And this is by design, but still, I’m a person in a movie theater watching two people have a variation on the same conversation three times. Makes one appreciate the fast-forward button. The movie also reminded me of how unlikeable Apple and its idiosyncratic products and some of its insufferable fans could be in the pre-iPod era. And I say this as someone who has Apple products now and likes them. But the sensation was odd. Normally a movie about, say, Ray Charles makes me want to go home and listen to some Ray Charles, even if I haven’t been a lifelong Ray Charles fan. This movie about Apple’s creator made me want to take a break from my iTunes account. Though I don’t normally read reviews of movies before I see them, I did catch some of a conversation about Steve Jobs on the NPR podcast Pop Culture Happy Hour. They talked about how the movie indulged in some of Sorkin’s most Sorkiny impulses — setting up a character of the Great But Misunderstood Man and his Female Helpmate. This familiar trope doesn’t always bother me in Sorkin works, but it did here. As the podcast gang pointed out, the movie sets up Jobs as a jerk

performance will mean that at least we don’t get a sequel to this strange Star Wars rip-off whose only interesting character is the pre-Capt. Hook played by Garrett Hedlund. Sure, his character is a Han Solo knock-off with a Yosemite Sam voice but that makes no less sense than the rest of this dull affair. D

Rock the Kasbah (R)
Bill Murray hopefully got his money in advance for Rock the Kasbah, a moldy and embarrassing movie for somebody with such a solid reputation for funny.
And, I’ll give this movie this, Bill Murray is the only decent thing about it. Not even his entire performance, just a smattering of line reads. But it’s a testament to his talent that he can make any of this soggy material work. “Like Aspen, during wartime” is one of the better lines spoken by Richie Lanz (Murray), a washed-up rock promoter who has sort of stumbled into getting his talent/receptionist Ronnie (Zooey Deschanel) a spot on a USO tour of Afghanistan. The description is part of a string of patter he delivers when they get off the plane in Kabul, aimed at getting Ronnie excited about her gig in a war zone. Horrified, Ronnie takes off, leaving Richie stranded with no money or passport. To get a little cash and a promised temporary passport to get back to the States, Richie agrees to do a little arms dealing for Jake (Scott Caan) and Nick (Danny McBride), two goofbros living the gangster lifestyle by selling ammo to whomever. Richie’s trip into the countryside to arm some villagers leads to a chance meeting with Salima (Leem Lubany), a girl who loves the American Idol-like Afghan Star competition TV show. She sneaks to a cave
at night to watch the show and then sing herself — something forbidden by her family. Richie hears her and thinks he’s found a future star (and 20 percent of the $5,000 prize money isn’t bad either). Salima’s father (Fahim Fazli) runs Richie off for suggesting that Salima sings at all, much less might sing in public, but later Richie finds that Salima has stowed away in the trunk of his car. She believes her voice is a gift from God and thus an appearance on Afghan Star is totally appropriate. While she is a headstrong girl, she still adheres to the constraints of her culture — crashing with a music promoter at his hotel could get them both killed. So Richie takes her to Merci (Kate Hudson) for chaperoning, who is, of course, a prostitute and Richie’s newfound buddy. Of course! A movie like this always has a prostitute — with a Heart of Gold, naturally — who develops an affection for the crumbling male lead 30 years her senior. This soggy, month-old jack-o-lantern of a character cliche is only one of several things wrong with this movie. Though trailers would have you think this is the story of a girl who tradition says shouldn’t perform and the manager who helps her find her way to the spotlight, Salima and her Cat Stevens covers are an extremely minor part of the movie. The actual story of a girl (or, according to Wikipedia, the two girls who made it to the final rounds of the show as depicted in the 2009 documentary Afghan Star, on which this movie is very loosely based) negotiating a conservative society to follow a very Western-style dream is interesting and deserves more than to be crammed around the edges of a story about an aging rock wannabe and the wacky people he meets in a war zone. Bruce Willis also shows up playing some kind of mercenary in an unnecessary role that seems like the result of a studio note to “add more stakes” or more menace or something. “Adding more” seems to be this movie’s response to all the stuff that’s not working in the story. Less would have been better — a scene at the very end of the movie where Richie is buying a toy elephant for his daughter back home shows how much fun just Bill Murray being Bill Murray can be. Add to cliched characters a sidelining of the movie’s only interesting premise and too much narrative junk, mostly flat writing, a nonsensical ending and a whole lotta problems with culture and tone, and Rock the Kasbah isn’t just a mess but a surpris™ ing mess considering the appeal of both the lead actor and the real-life story that the movie is built around. DRated R for language including sexual references, some drug use and brief violence. Directed by Barry Levinson and written by Mitch Glazer, Rock the Kasbah is an hour and 46 minutes long and distributed by Open Road.

and a talented but far-from-infallible creator of stuff — and then ends, ends with the satisfied air of a movie that has now made you understand and appreciate Jobs, warts and all. Huh, I thought as the movie ended, really? Your Great Man feels less like somebody I’m psyched to watch a movie about and more like somebody whose phone calls I want to dodge. I guess as biopics about Steve Jobs go, Steve Jobs isn’t the worst. It’s probably better than 2013’s Jobs starring Ashton Kutcher if for no other reason than that Fassbender is a more compelling actor than Kutcher and Rogen is a more backbone-y Wozniak than Josh Gad. (Interestingly, both movies end early in the final act of Jobs — this movie with the iMac and Jobs with 2001’s iPod launch. The products that have made Apple a part of the modern tech landscape and not just a piece of 1980s nostalgia came during those last dozen-some years of his life. Clearly successful Jobs does not offer the narrative possibilities of early Apple/wilderness years Jobs.) Everybody here is a solid actor doing a solid performance even if I didn’t always love the dialogue. BRated R for language. Directed by Danny Boyle with a screenplay by Aaron Sorkin (from the book by Walter Isaacson), Steve Jobs is two hours and 2 minutes long and is distributed by Universal Pictures.

Plain White T’s newfound independence

• Twin bill: With a spare folk sound reminiscent of Amber Rubarth, Kat Quinn is a promising singer-songwriter, with a new EP Rust to Gold. Quinn is joined by local favorite Tristan Omand Friday, Oct. 30, at 7:30 p.m., at New England College, 52 Main St., Concord. See katquinnmusic.com. • Costumed krewe: Described by one critic as “New Orleans brass band meets Sun Ra and Ornette Coleman,” Revolutionary Snake Ensemble is the perfect pre-Halloween nightlife choice — the five-piece improvisational funk band dresses in wild attire for every performance. They bring a kinetic energy to their street sound and have appeared everywhere from the Kennedy Center to Sesame Street. They perform Friday, Oct. 30, at 8 p.m. at Riverwalk Cafe, 35 Railroad St., Nashua. See riverwalknashua.com. • Spirits & sounds: A newly opened restaurant offers regular live music, including a Sunday brunch residency from hometown songstress Alli Beaudry. This weekend’s lineup includes Brad Bosse (Thursday), Kim Riley (Friday) and Joel Cage (Saturday); all three are set to return soon, along with Chad Verbeck, Chris Lester, Brian Sweet and Justin Cohn. See Alli Beaudry on Sunday, Nov. 1, at 10 a.m. at Funktion Spirits & Spoonfuls, 931 Elm St., Manchester. See funktionspirits.com. • Cape Breton’s best: With a new album produced by Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper), fiddlers Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy expand the boundaries of Celtic music. Top session musicians join the Cape Breton duo them Wednesday, Nov. 4, at 7:30 p.m. at Capitol Center for the Arts, 44 S. Main St., Concord. Tickets are $28 to $48 at ccanh.com.
A decade ago “Hey There Delilah” appeared as the last track of All That We Needed, the third Plain White T’s album. Released a year later as a single, the song hit No. 1 in Billboard and launched the Chicago band to pop stardom. Successes followed; “1-2-3-4” and “Rhythm of Love” both went platinum. But the catchy smash about T’s front man Tom Higgenson’s infatuation with track star Delilah DiCrescenzo is the first thought most fans have about the band, and the song is permanently etched into every set list. For the guy who wrote it, is this a blessing or a curse? “I wish we had five more of them … definitely not a curse at all,” Higgenson said in a recent phone interview. “It’s a classic, knock on wood. Hopefully, it will be inspiring people and making them feel good forever. Every time you sit down to write a song, it’s your wildest dream to do something like that.” Plain White T’s released its seventh studio album in early spring. American Nights was originally done for Hollywood Records, then held back for unclear reasons. Ultimately, the band won back control of the masters, substantially reworked much of it in Higgenson’s basement studio last January, and put it out independently. “There was a weird amount of power push and pull with our A&R guy. I don’t know if the label was cracking down on him or if he was really passionate about songs that we didn’t really feel, but we made a bit of a disjointed album,” Higgenson said. Several tracks vetoed by the label were

restored, one of the benefits of going it alone. “It’s pretty amazing to be able to do whatever the hell we want,” Higgenson said. “All of these people thought it was their job to be part of your creative process, for better or worse, so that part is pretty amazing — to not have to answer to anybody.” Higgenson is blunt about the downside to label independence. “We’re the ones funding things,” he said. “We did a TV appearance that ended up costing us a bunch of money because you have to pay union fees. … We never really realized, because the label took care of that. All those little things, logistics that we weren’t really aware of, now fall on us, and we’re using our own money.” The band has toured steadily in support of the new album since it came out. Higgenson is looking forward to intimate rooms like Manchester’s Jewel Nightclub following an arena tour opening for Rob Thomas and a summer shed run with Goo Goo Dolls and Daughtry. “When you’re playing huge venues ... everyone becomes a large mass,” he told the Orlando Sentinel. “At the small clubs you can really connect with the fans.” Earlier this year, Plain White T’s joined Blues Traveler in a crowded studio to cut
“Nikkia’s Prom” for Blow Up the Moon, an album of collaborations with other artists. He co-wrote the song with BT leader John Popper. “I thought it was a cool idea, kind of like what Santana did back in the day,” Higgenson said. “I met John at a hotel in L.A., we had a drink at the bar and just talked about music and movies.” The resulting song riffs on Kill Bill, imagining the young daughter of one of Uma Thurman’s victims grown up and seeking revenge. “There’s kind of a reference to ninjas; it’s just a silly kind of a song basically inspired by our love for Tarantino,” he said. Coincidentally, the new album is the band’s most collaborative to date. Tim Lopez’s horn-infused “Here Comes That Sunrise” is a standout track, and drummer Dave Tirio’s contribution was also noteworthy. “Dave started the band with me and has never written a song in his frickin’ life,” Higgenson said. “For this album he came up with a couple of ideas and did a demo for ‘Hardly Working’ that was pretty much exactly what what we ended up using. We were like, ‘What the hell dude — where you been for 15 years?’”

meaning is, and arranged the whole subject on a definite plan. Plan first, study second. Gemini (May 21 – June 20) When you leave your camp clean up. Fragments of food — not pickles — can be put up somewhere for the birds. Who leaves out pickles for birds? Cancer (June 21 – July 22) Keep your camp clean. Keep it in order. Let your motto be, “Tidy as you go.” It is as bad to have to hunt for a thing you want in camp as it is at home and particularly exasperating if, when you have found it, you must wash it before using. Same goes for your workplace. Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) Each one of us has a distinct individuality and is entitled to his own views, to a certain extent. However, we should keep our minds open, ready to accept new truths as they are brought to our attention. Your truths will expand if you’re paying attention. Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) In appointing cooks ... be sure not to work the “willing horse” too hard but let all share as much alike as possible. See that everyone takes a turn. Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) A First-Class Scout … Must know how to set a table properly for breakfast, dinner, and supper. Bring a shirt-waist or skirt sewn by herself or equivalent needlework. Be able to describe how to get a specified place and walk one mile in twenty minutes. … Must have knowledge of signaling and of semaphore code or International alphabet, writing 32 letters per minute. Must have 50 cents in savings bank earned by herself. ... Know how to distinguish and name ten trees, ten wild flowers, ten wild animals, ten wild birds. Must know simple laws of sanitation, health and ventilation. Swim fifty yards in her clothes or show a list of twelve satisfactory good turns. Show points of compass without a compass. Must give correctly the Scouts’ secret passwords. You have high standards to work up to, but you can do it.

All quotes are from How Girls Can Help Their Country, adapted from Agnes BadenPowell and Sir Robert Baden-Powell’s Handbook by Juliette Low, born Oct. 31, 1860. Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) Too many of us form a habit of dividing our attention, trying to carry two things in mind at the same time. This is a weakness that interferes with our success. If we are truly interested, we should put our whole attention upon the one matter... Stay strong and focus. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) Each one of us has her character made by her habits. ... As we practice the Scout laws they become a part of us. Practice, practice, practice. Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) Everyone should be able to tie knots. A knowledge of knots is useful in every trade or calling, and forms an important part of a Girl Scout’s training. If you already know how, teach someone who doesn’t. Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Each one of us should so plan each day that we shall spend at least one hour playing vigorous games outdoors. You might have some catching up to do, so you should get started. Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) To obtain a badge for personal health, a Scout must: 1. Eat no sweets, candy, or cake between meals for three months. 2. Drink nothing but water, chocolate, or cocoa for a year. 3. Walk a mile daily for three months. 4. Sleep with open window. … If you want to earn the prize, you have to do the work. Aries (March 21 – April 19) A tree is a tree anyway be it large or small. Some are useful food producers while others are of value for ornament or timber. All are good. There are no bad trees. Eye of the beholder, and all that. Taurus (April 20 – May 20) Thus, it is not necessary to memorize lessons and subjects until after we have thought out what the real

In October, a Harvard University debate team (three-time recent champions of the American Parliamentary Debate Association) lost a match to a team of prisoners from the maximum-security Eastern New York Correctional Facility. Prison debaters “are held to the exact same standards” as college debate teams, according to the director of Bard College’s Prison Initiative, which coaches the inmates. Prisoners took the “pro” side of public schools having the right to turn away students whose parents had entered the U.S. illegally (though team members personally disagreed). The Bard trainers pointed out that the inmates perfected their presentation despite (or perhaps because of) the prison prohibition on Internet access.
Compelling explanations
A black alleged gang member, Taurus Brown, 19, under arrest in Clearwater, Florida, in September for having a marijuana cigarette casually tucked behind his ear as he talked politely to a white police officer, tried to flee on foot but was quickly taken down. Asked why he ran, Brown replied (according to the police report): “I don’t like white people touching me. White people do weird stuff.”
Unclear on the Concept
The Merit Systems Protection Board is (wrote The Washington Post) “a personnel court of last resort” for federal employees unfairly punished by demotion or firing, which is just what employee Timothy Korb needed when his federal agency suspended him in 2013, allegedly for revealing at a staff meeting that the agency’s actual case backlog was much worse than it was letting on. Korb’s employer, ironically, is the Merit Systems Protection Board, and in September 2015, an administrative law judge upheld his claim of unfairness.
Shameless
• Veterans Counseling Certificate
In rare bipartisan action, the U.S. Senate is preparing a bill to ban taxpayer funds for those military salutes at sporting events. Teams (the legislators believe) already benefit from the fan-friendly staging of heartwarming patriotic displays. (The Pentagon had paid $5.4 million just to the National Football League over the last four years.) An NFL spokesman, finally playing catch-up, said in September, “(N)o one should be paid to honor our troops.”

Legislators in action
In a recent resolution, Blount County (Tennessee) Commissioner Karen Miller called for her fellow commissioners and
HIPPO | OCTOBER 29 - NOVEMBER 4, 2015 | PAGE 70
state officials all the way up to the governor to prepare for “God’s wrath” for recent national policies (same-sex marriage, etc.) she disagrees with. Though other states might be in for a smiting, Miller’s resolution calls on God to spare Blount County (by the “safety of the Passover lamb”). In October, the commission tabled the resolution, 10-5, but she promised to reintroduce it.
Weirdo-American community
“Officially” declaring oneself not subject to the laws of any jurisdiction (i.e., a “sovereign”) opens a wide range of career choices. The FBI and Las Vegas police say that in Rick Van Thiel’s case, once his porn industry career ended (because someone stole his video equipment), he “decided to go into the medical field,” becoming “Dr. Rick” with expertise performing dozens of abortions, circumcisions and castrations (plus cancer treatments and root canals).
